Chapter 679: Asking the Chu Family

Yueluo was beaten and dragged in with blood, and happened to meet Chu Wangzhi and his wife who came in a hurry.

The blood on his body dripped to the ground, and a long line of blood dragged out behind him, and the air was filled with the smell of blood in an instant.

The smell of blood is frightening, and it is also awakening a certain violent factor that is about to move

"Weichen (courtiers) see the emperor, long live the emperor." The couple bowed in two rows, but when they caught a glimpse of Chu Feng out of the corner of their eyes, they suddenly had a bad sign in their hearts.

The emperor didn't say a word, his eyes were dull, and he hid a sharp blade, "Who is it?" ”

I didn't ask anyone clearly in this sentence, but except for Rong Ruo, who spoke just now, that is, the moonset who was lying on the ground with his dying breath.

Yueluo's mouth opened and closed, her voice was very low, she didn't have the strength to swallow her breath, the corners of her mouth kept bleeding, and she couldn't say anything.

Liu Kai hunched his waist up, and the people in the hall did not dare to come out, and listened to Liu Kai's slightly sharp voice and said: "The moonfall has confessed, it was she who added poison to the queen mother's medicinal diet." ”

Concubine Jin's phoenix eyes sharpened, and she scolded: "Where did the poison come from, and who instructed it?" ”

"I still won't explain." Liu Kai has been by the emperor's side for so many years, and he is not a soft-hearted person, but no matter how much Yueluo is tortured, in addition to confessing that he was poisoned, he will never confide in him, if he doesn't fight again, he will die, Liu Kai has no choice but to stop.

The queen mother was still lying there, the imperial doctors, including Rong Ruo, were helpless against her poison, the emperor's face was black to the end, he stood up and kicked the moonset, her body was thrown up and down, her chest was arched in pain, her mouth was filled with blood, and after spitting out, she couldn't help coughing.

"Tell me, who told you to poison the Queen Mother? Where did you get your Misty Lotus Scatter from? The emperor walked over step by step, condescending, oppressive of people, even difficult to breathe, his eyes have never been cold, as if there was a layer of frost, when he spoke, the feeling of the knife scraping, made people even feel pain in the heart.

It's just that Yueluo's whole body hurts now, but she is numb to the feeling of the outside world, she blinked desperately, a layer of blood and tears outside her eyes dissolved, and her pupils looked up a little sloppily, "Emperor...... Above...... Slave maid, slave maid ......"

The emperor pulled his fist in one hand, looked at the ground with ruthless eyes like a dead man, stepped on Yueluo's arm with one foot, and said in an irrefutable tone: "I give you one last chance, if you don't say it, I will slaughter you all over the door!" ”

The moonset opened her eyes slowly, her pupils dilated, and she returned to her senses a little bit, and the black pupils reflected the emperor's scarlet eyes, her fingertips trembled uncontrollably, the pain seemed to be far away from her body, and even her soul began to withdraw, leaving only the words 'Slaughter You All Over the Door' ringing back and forth in her ears, making her brain about to explode.

"Yes...... Is it ......" A stream of black blood flowed from the corner of Yueluo's mouth, her head tilted, her eyes widened, and she swallowed.

Liu Kai immediately ran over, squatted on the ground and probed for a while, looked up in a daze and said, "Your Majesty, she is holding her breath." "Died in front of the emperor, Liu Kai's brain burst into a cold sweat, just beat her like that, almost killed Yueluo without taking poison, Liu Kai didn't expect Yueluo to have a bloody poison on his body!

The emperor's dragon robe flicked, his face became heavier and colder, and he didn't ask anything, but the person died.

"Father-in-law Liu, let me take a look." Rong Ruo passed, Liu Kai let go of the way, wiped a handful of cold sweat on his forehead, and didn't dare to look at the emperor's face at the moment, and stood aside tremblingly.

Rong Ruo opened Yueluo's mouth and eyes, and after examining it, he said to Liu Kai: "I took poison beforehand." ”

Liu Kai breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, fortunately, it was okay, it was not that he had poison in his mouth, or he made a mistake and did not check it clearly in advance.

"What a good idea." The emperor sneered, and suddenly turned to look at everyone in the main hall, his eyes were gloomy, "You actually dare to play tricks in front of me." ”

Chu Wangzhi and his wife glanced at each other and made eye contact, although they didn't know what had happened, but they heard it just now, the emperor said that the queen mother was poisoned, and this palace maid was the personal palace maid who usually served the queen mother.

In addition, Chu Feng was still kneeling in the hall, and so many ministers were the only ones invited here, and they were stupid if they didn't understand what was going on.

The emperor snorted coldly: "Mrs. Chu, you can see clearly, do you know the people on the ground?" ”

The long sleeves fell to the ground, and then the wide sleeves covered it, Chu Wangzhi pinched Lin Yuanxiu's hand as a comfort, Lin Yuanxiu pursed his lips, gave him a reassuring look, half raised his head, and said simply: "I have met once, on May 12, the concubine invited the courtiers and others, and then when I went to Shoukang Palace to meet the Queen Mother, I met once." ”

"Why do you avoid others and meet in private at Keiko Palace?" The emperor's question was very direct, and his voice was cold and hard, and he was already suspicious.

Lin Yuanxiu is the daughter of the leader of the cottage bandits, with a gangster spirit on her body, although she has been Mrs. Chu more over the years, she has received a lot of this kind of bastard, but she is not an ordinary woman in the end, and she speaks neatly and loudly: "Back to the emperor, the courtiers are going to enter the Shoukang Palace that day, the girl said that the courtiers have a hairpin on their heads and fell off, and they accompanied the courtiers to find a circle, and the courtiers don't know when they passed by the Qingxi Palace." ”

On that day, it was the Shoukang Palace where Yueluo and another palace maid took them, it happened that Xiao Hongmei didn't go that day, Lin Yuanxiu just mixed up and fell at the back of the people, or Yueluo reminded her that a hairpin on her head was missing, and took the initiative to take her to look for it, she came to the harem a few times, but the palace didn't recognize it, where did she know what Qingxi Palace was, but she thought in her heart at the time, the queen mother was really a kind character, and even the palace maids around her were so proper.

Thinking about it now, Lin Yuanxiu still doesn't think this matter matters.

Chu Wangzhi chuckled in his heart, if it didn't matter, why did the emperor suddenly mention it?

Sure enough, in the next sentence, the soft and weak criminal nobleman said: "It just so happens that it is Qingxi Palace again...... Lord Chu is also drunk there tonight. ”

Chu Wangzhi said that something was wrong in his heart.

"That's right, in addition to being Qingxi Palace, Lord Chu bumped into it tonight and it happened to be a moonset." Liu Siyi followed up and added.

After such a connection, Chu Wangzhi naturally came to a conclusion that his wife and son had ulterior ties with Yueluo, and the location was Qingxi Palace.

Chu Wangzhi could think so, and of course others thought of it.

"There must be some misunderstanding in this, Clumsy Jing has been in the backyard all the year round, and it is impossible to grudge with others, let alone have the courage to harm the Queen Mother, Your Majesty." Chu Wangzhi was worried in his heart, and he spoke cautiously, walking on thin ice.

He knew very well that someone was going to attack the Chu family.

Concubine Yi twisted the embroidery of the silk handkerchief in her hand, her beautiful eyes moved slightly, and her face was a little bad from just now, and when she opened her mouth at this time, her voice was actually a little hoarse, "Lord Chu has always been sensible, and the Lord Protector is a person who knows the roots, Your Majesty, maybe there is a misunderstanding among them......

Concubine Jin's phoenix eyes were half raised, and Feng Yi was upright, "Your Majesty, it is a matter of protecting the country, and the concubines think that it is better to be cautious." ”

Speaking of it now, there are suspects, but in the end, the evidence is not conclusive, and it is not clearly pointed out that the people of the Chu family have bad intentions and have to poison the Queen Mother, after all, there is no such motive.

Poisoning the Queen Mother, what are they trying to do?

"But...... The Queen Mother's decoction was poisonous, and only Lord Chu had the opportunity to touch it. The noble man blurted out, and then felt that he was speechless, and pursed his lips again: "Maybe it's a coincidence." ”

Such a first rise and then a suppression, but it invisibly added a fire, the emperor's eyes swept over, and his eyes were thick and rolling, obviously suspicious.

Once the seeds of doubt take root, they unconsciously begin to associate with them.

Why did he forget that the Yan family and the Chu family have always been good friends, and they have close contacts with King Jing, first poisoned the Queen Mother, then stirred up the harem restlessness, and then found an opportunity to deal with him, the emperor, and finally pressed hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the northwest.

In this way, he first looked at the family of three kneeling on the ground, and then turned his head to the third son who had never said a word at the door of the main hall, his heart seemed to live in a sea, the surface was not disturbed, and the depths were already turbulent.

The emperor's eyes were cruel and cold, and he suddenly scolded: "Chu Wangzhi, what else do you have to say!" ”

Thinking that the emperor was suspicious, Chu Wangzhi knew that things were not going well just by looking at the emperor's expression, so he hurriedly kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, the Chu family has been loyal and good for generations, and will never do anything to deceive the king, but the dog is informless, drunk and mistakenly broke into the palace gate, but even if he is given a few more guts, he will not dare to ......."

"Humph! Can't! After the emperor didn't listen to Chu Wangzhi's words, he interrupted coldly: "I see that he is very bold, and your Chu family is very bold!" ”

Chu Wangzhi's heart sank, maybe the emperor didn't need the truth at all, and he wanted to determine that the Chu family was guilty, just as he was afraid of the Yan family, and he was already suspicious of the Chu family.

Lin Yuanxiu's cold eyebrows drew a sneer, she is a mountain bandit, and she has a bandit aura on her body, but she has been restrained over the years, "Your Majesty, catch thieves and catch stolen goods, the Chu family can admit their guilt, but they must also have evidence clearly in front of them, otherwise just a few words verbally, please forgive the courtiers for not admitting it!" ”

Chu Wangzhi grabbed Lin Yuanxiu's palm, and she slapped him in turn: It's okay, she is not afraid of anything, the emperor wants them to obey the law, and they should be convinced, otherwise even the emperor will not be able to block the mouths of the world.

Chu Wangzhi sighed in his heart, he was not as simple as Lin Yuanxiu thought, if that was the case, how could there be no evidence.

Even if you don't have it, you can always make it.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks about it, there seems to be something wrong with that wine." Chu Feng's mind was chaotic, the wine was almost dissipated at this time, and his mind was clear, thinking about it, although he was not drunk for a thousand cups, there was no reason for him to get drunk so quickly, and he didn't know who was still sleeping outside.

The emperor glanced at Liu Kai, and Liu Kai immediately went out and ordered a few words, asking people to bring the wine glasses in the banquet, especially those in Chu Feng's position.
