Chapter 193: Don't Break, Don't Stand
Su Chen looked at them in a panic with an expressionless face, and then consciously calmed down, and pushed Prime Minister Li Yi to speak: "What does this mean by Concubine Niangniang?" β
"You are really not calm at all, and you don't want to think about what kind of place this is, and you can't see the peace of the world when you think about the worst?" Su Chen reprimanded directly, completely holding her proper identity: "You are all important ministers, this palace believes in your loyalty, so I let you come over, Zhou Guogong, please take a step forward." β
Guogong is a first-class duke, but he is in charge of civil affairs, and Zhou Anhan's branch has become an independent government. His daughter is Zhou Yueqing.
People in their fifties are very disciplined, and they look down on Su Chen in their hearts, but with the respect on their faces, he has also done it: "Guifei Niangniang, can you represent the emperor when you say this?" β
On behalf of the emperor? Su Chen's most disdainful thing is pedantic, and he said directly: "The emperor is poisoned, the poison under the concubine, she didn't hand over the antidote, and assassinated Xue Ruman, now Xue Ruman is seriously injured, and no one can treat the emperor, but the celestial elephant Jirui, I don't know what it means, what the palace can do is wait." β
"Impossible!" Zhou Guogong suddenly exclaimed: "Absolutely impossible! β
"It doesn't matter if you don't believe it, but don't deny it, this is what the emperor heard with his own ears." Su Chen swept their faces again: "Whether you believe it or not, it doesn't matter at this time, the important thing is to solve the current problem, come here, and serve clear water." β
After she finished speaking, she ordered to go to the water, which made everyone puzzled again, the emperor had an accident, why was she so calm? What does it mean to ask for water?
Su Chen washed his face in front of them.
"Bengong has a bad complexion, if you don't wear makeup, I'm afraid it will scare you." She wiped her face and smiled at them, the face as white as gold paper and black lips, this smile looked particularly miserable.
She held the royal case and shook her body slightly, very "weak": "I know you all suspect it, but look at my face, I have been friends with Concubine Shu for more than ten years, and I suspect that no one has ever suspected her, so I don't know that she poisoned her, and it is chronic poison, and it only occurred when she gave birth, I was blind, and the emperor took care of me for a while, she was unwilling and used poison." β
Everyone gasped in unison, such a thing really happened? This is a palace scandal!
Su Chen sat down and said the follow-up: "The palace people have killed and injured dozens of people, the emperor is just contaminated, but there is no antidote, and it can't be symptomatic, you say, do you want the princes to come to take charge, or do you want to take charge of the matter, wait for the emperor to wake up?" β
This is not a big problem, but it is very testfulββββ the emperor and the princes do not agree, at this time, if they choose the prince, they are standing opposite the emperor, and choose to wait for the emperor to wake up, if the princes know, they will not rely on them, and they will not choose.
Su Chen still had the same expression, very calm, they couldn't see anything except the miserable whiteness.
Li Yi was the first to speak: "Niangniang, rest assured, the emperor will definitely wake up soon, and the minister will wait for the emperor to wake up and then deal with government affairs." β
He also hesitated, but he was from the concubine's faction, which was well known and he himself thought, so he stood in line and had no choice at all.
However, the courtiers with the prince, of course, support the prince, no matter which, as long as it is the prince, it will definitely support the prince to supervise the country. The emperor is poisoned, not other injuries, this kind of thing, does it need to be said in the end?
Su Chen laughed: "You guys, your vision is really limited enough, I said that the emperor will wake up, what else do you want to mention about the prince in charge of the country, people will eventually die, and the children and grandchildren will definitely inherit the ancestral business, but now the emperor's heart, you are not warm, is it really hopeless to be the Duke of Zhou?" β
Zhou Guogong knelt down as early as when Su Chen said how Concubine Shu was poisoned, but Su Chen ignored it, and kowtowed repeatedly at this time: "The old minister deserves to die......
"Damn, that's for sure, but it's not worth it if you die, hurry up and hand over the antidote, and then go to the emperor to plead guilty!" Su Chen's voice flickered, then he coughed, covered the corners of his lips with a handkerchief, coughed and glanced at it, and changed his face slightly.
Li Yi was unswervingly on her side: "Niangniang, the emperor blesses, you also have to take care of your body, Zhou Guogong has already confessed, you will pass on the imperial doctor first, right?" β
Su Chen glanced at him: "No, this palace won't die for a while, and it won't be easy to let some people get their wish!" β
Since Zhou Guogong confessed, she had no need to show mercy anymore, so she directly let the guards take her custody and go to confront Zhou Yueqing, glanced at everyone again, and said that the meeting was dismissed.
After speaking, she reacted, and she said a new word, she waved her hand: "This meeting is held in this palace, which is different from your usual discussion of the government, now that you know the details, what to do, you have your own number, right?" What should I be busy with, Li Yi put things down, and before the emperor woke up, everything was as usual. β
"Yes." Li Yi bowed.
In fact, at this time, it is inconvenient to release anything, but Su Chen deliberately explained that it must be done, at least on the surface, it must be the same as usual.
β¦β¦
Su Chen asked people to go in first to clean up for Zhou Yueqing before going in. asked people to move chairs, and she sat on the side, watching Zhou Guogong and Zhou Yueqing confront each other.
"You fool!" Zhou Guogong hated that iron could not become steel: "How can you do this?" Have you ever thought that the Zhou family would be ...... by you?"
"Am I being dragged or dragged down?" Zhou Yueqing had just been scrubbed and changed, and at this time, her arms were all wrapped in strips of cloth and crooked on the futon, and she was very impatient to listen to Zhou Guogong's words: "How long has it been since the Sun family's affairs happened?" You just forgot? Snobbish like Sun Ru, only seeking glory, in order not to be involved in poisoning his own daughter, do you want to follow suit? β
Zhou Yueqing was very clear about the Sun family, but when she said this at this time, it can be seen that she handed the details back to her parents' family at that time.
Zhou Guogong and her were three or four feet away, and each could see the anger on their faces, but after Zhou Guogong was interrupted by her, he was silent.
There was no explanation, and nothing else was said.
Su Chen wanted to listen to it more on the side, but there were only a few words from Zhou Yueqing, and Father Zhou didn't say anything important, so he was silent, she lifted her eyelids slightly and looked at Zhou Yueqing: "You are talented, but you are not worthy of that position, you probably know why you chose the Sun family as the concubine back then, it is clear that your identity is more noble than her." Even after the seal, it didn't fall on your head. β
"Shut up!" Zhou Yueqing's voice was raised, and she turned her head sharply and cursed at Su Chen: "You are the one who deserves to die!" So many people died for you, you witch! I've been in the palace for so many years, and I can see it the most clearly! How you are a demon and how to charm the emperor, the living room is also clear! β
Su Chen sneered: "If you don't say it, I forgot, your Tong Shi is also at the living room, just call those two to see who you and I are." β
Zhou Yueqing snorted: "You are too good at reversing black and white, I can't fight you!" β
"Have you fought with me over the years?" Su Chen got up: "Let their father and daughter have a good chat, and go to see the emperor in this palace." β
Whether Zhao Tengrun can wake up or not is a big deal, Su Chen can't get the antidote, so he can only wait for him to wake up, if he doesn't wake up, then ask Xue Ruman to come and "see" again.
β¦β¦
What Su Chen said in the imperial study was completely spread before noon, and all the courtiers gathered outside the Qinhua Palace, and the princes simply returned to the palace with their swords.
At this time, it was already chaotic outside, and it was all chaos!
It is useless for the Queen Mother to come forward, she is also self-aware, and she does not say any big truth, only that the family and the world are peaceful.
Su Chen immediately let the Zhou family's father and daughter go, she was afraid that someone would take the opportunity to make trouble, but she was afraid of something, the side hall caught fire, and the fire rose all of a sudden, and after it was extinguished, there were traces in the dormitory.
The emperor is still inside, and the imperial doctors are all inside, because it is difficult to move, and the wet quilt is piled up from the inside, and in winter, the house is colder than the outside.
But it didn't affect Zhao Tengrun at all, and he showed no signs of waking up throughout the day.
Outside, the prince wanted to break into the door, and the queen mother was personally guarding the door, and she didn't come in at this time, but she couldn't hold out for long.
Su Chen looked at the child, then at Zhao Tengrun's face, and directly took out her wrist guard that had not been used for several years, and checked the silk inside. Then while putting it on his wrist, he asked in a deep voice: "Xue Ruman, will the emperor wake up?" β
Xue Ruman said with a little hanging: "I guarantee with a human head that I will wake up before dawn tomorrow." β
Su Chen glanced at him: "The human head is not your head." β
"Don't worry about these details, okay? If you believe me, he will definitely wake up, when will I ever speak? He was unashamed to pretend to be a big-tailed wolf.
Su Chen replied to him: "Hehe." β
If he said a little less absolutely, Su Chen might still believe him for three points, but he said it so surely, Su Chen had already prepared for the worst - if Zhao Tengrun died, then she would not stay here, and let it go with the residual fire just now.
The eldest prince outside the door said this: "Queen Mother, you better get out of the way, otherwise, it will not be good if the concubine Niangniang does something after a while and injures you by mistake." β
Zongquan thinks that he is the boss, so he should be like this, and he doesn't care about the face of his younger brothers at all.
Zong Liang even directly asked his guards to step forward and moved the queen mother's chair away: "Queen Mother, you are unwell, it is better to ask the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment first." β
He is more pragmatic than the patriarchy, but not as powerful as the patriarchy. But he is attached to the patriarchal power, and the two of them can be regarded as upper and lower.
The Queen Mother was carried away by a chair, she grabbed the armrest, and said, "You'd better not break in, it doesn't matter if you move me away, but the emperor is still there......"
β¦β¦
Su Chen was at the gate of the palace, confronting Zongquan - last time Zongquan lost face because of her, this time he got it back: it was not ordinary ruthless!
But at the gate of this palace, it is either tung oil or itchy powder, although Su Chen's trick is small, but it is very effective, she sits at the gate of the palace alone, and has the momentum of a husband.
Zong Quan's face was dark, he didn't expect this to be the case, he had already made up his mind to let it go, no matter what, Su Chen must be eliminated today!
He threw the sword in his hand at Su Chen: "This demon woman! You give it to me! Step back, this prince wants your life! β
As soon as Su Chen raised her hand with the magnet, the sword came directly sideways, she reached out and pinched the hilt of the sword, threw it on the ground, and glanced at the private guard who wanted to step forward: "A knife to shrink the head is also a knife, if it is me, I choose to shrink the head, after all, the knife that stretches out the head can't be dodged, and the knife that shrinks the head whether it can be dodged or not, it must be lighter than the knife that stretches out the head." β
"Don't listen to her! She's the best at deceiving the public! Zong Quan shouted anxiously, a little confused.
There are only two palace people in the hall, and Jianfu reminded the time on one side: "Niangniang, it's the third watch." β
Has it been three shifts? Su Chen snorted, ready to let people pour oil, and finally persuaded them again: "Zongquan, the third watch, now you still have a chance to go back......"
"Forcing the palace to rebel, what chance does he have?" Zhao Tengrun walked out of it and stood behind Su Chen.
Su Chen was startled and got up from his chair: "You ......"
He was dressed in bed clothes, he looked like he had just woken up, his face was pale, but he didn't show cyan anymore - there were torches inside and out, shining as bright as day, Su Chen wanted to pull him, but he was too excited and fell off the chair.
Zhao Tengrun hurriedly supported her, but his body had not recovered in the end, and he fell down with her.
"It's great to wake up!" Su Chen was also happy when he fell, got up with a grin, and then helped him and sat down again.
Inside and outside the palace of the swordsman and the sword, Zhao Tengrun held Su Chen's hand and looked at his princes, none of them were successful.
He just woke up, these people were all in chaos, and even, Zong Liang had already run out, and was sent back by Yu Linwei - Yu Linwei in the palace was only three hundred.
