Chapter 164: Explain the truth with the Empress Dowager
Chu Tingchuan never thought that Mo Liang would die in prison like this, and he lost his life because someone poisoned the food he ate. To say that Chu Tingchuan is unwilling to believe this fact.
Because for him, it is absolutely impossible for Mo Liang to die after eating a poisoned meal, Mo Liang also knows a lot about poison, how could he be so careless and just eat it, this is absolutely impossible!
As soon as he heard the news of Mo Liang's death, he hurried to the prison, everything in front of him made him have to believe that Mo Liang had fallen to the ground at this time, and there were blood stains on the corners of his mouth that had dried up.
He went to probe Mo Liang's snort, and it was true that Mo Liang had no breath. He suddenly felt that his mind was blank, Mo Liang was really, dead like this? There is definitely something strange about this, Mo Liang will never be so easily fooled!
Chu Tingchuan quickly came back to his senses, it was absolutely impossible for him to let Mo Liang be killed like this and bear the charge of being guilty. Although he knew that the queen would definitely kill him, he didn't expect that he would be able to make Mo Liang unguardable!
Sure enough, this queen is an old fox, and it is no wonder that at the beginning, she was able to kill so many concubines unknowingly and ascend to the throne of the queen. To say that Chu Tingchuan believes in Mo Liang's ability very much.
Because of this, he didn't expect that Mo Liang would fall for the queen's tricks. Knowing this, he should have paid more attention to his every move in this prison, so that Mo Liang would not lose his life because of this.
He stayed up all these days and nights just to investigate strong evidence, but he didn't expect that such a thing had happened just a few days ago, how could he bear it? If he had paid more attention to it at the beginning, this would not have happened now. It's all him Chu Tingchuan who harmed Mo Liang, and it's all his Chu Tingchuan who harmed him!
When Chu Xuhua heard the news, he naturally hurried over, in fact, he vaguely knew what was going on, but he didn't expect that Mo Liang would use fake death medicine so quickly. It seems that the queen is also anxious to get rid of Mo Liang.
Although Chu Xuhua knew what was going on in his heart, he couldn't talk to Chu Tingchuan in this kind of place where he might have ears on the wall. When he saw Chu Tingchuan's dejected appearance, he almost told the truth.
But he held back stiffly, because he knew that if he didn't hold back and say it at this time, maybe the whole plan would be discovered. When the time comes, let alone Mo Liang, maybe even the royal brother will be caught by the queen.
In that case, wouldn't he become an accomplice to assist the queen? Therefore, Chu Xuhua was not in a hurry to tell Chu Tingchuan about this. Chu Xuhua knew that the more the imperial brother showed grief, the more the queen would believe in the fact that Mo Liang was dead.
As long as the queen relaxes, she can take the opportunity to seize the queen's handle! Although Chu Xuhua admitted that his way of doing this was really not authentic for the imperial brother, at this time, he could only hide it from the imperial brother like this.
"Brother Huang." Chu Xuhua gently patted Chu Tingchuan's shoulder and called slowly. However, Chu Tingchuan did not have any response. After Chu Xuhua let out a long sigh, he continued, "Brother Huang, you must not let Mo Liang die unjustly. Now the queen mother will definitely go back to her father's ear and say that you will not be allowed to investigate this matter thoroughly, and we must not let the queen mother succeed. ”
"yes, I know." Chu Tingchuan replied sullenly, he really knew this truth, but seeing Mo Liang go like this, in his heart, he was still very sad. What a ridiculous thing to say about being able to protect her, in retrospect. He simply didn't have the slightest ability to protect Mo Liang, otherwise Mo Liang wouldn't have encountered such a thing.
"Now that Mo Liang's crime is still on his body, he must not be able to be buried in the name of the concubine, at present, the matter of Mo Liang's burial will be handled by me first, and Mo Liang's innocence will be returned in the future, and the imperial brother will bury Mo Liang well." Chu Xuhua said lightly, he knew that Mo Liang had just taken the fake death medicine he gave, and he was not really dead.
However, Chu Tingchuan didn't know. Therefore, in case Chu Tingchuan really buried Mo Liang, Chu Xuhua would of course ask him to start this matter first, so that Chu Tingchuan could first investigate who the mastermind behind the scenes was.
Although they all know it in their hearts, what they need most at the moment is evidence. If there is no evidence, all the words to correct the queen are empty words, but they will lose the lady and the army, after all, the queen is always thinking about getting rid of them.
"I know, burying Mo Liang will trouble the seventh brother. I continue to investigate the matter. Since I can poison this food, the jailers in this prison will definitely know something, and I will start here. Chu Tingchuan finally recovered a little, that is, he stood up immediately, and said slowly to Chu Xuhua. Chu Xuhua naturally bowed slightly.
Because the food was indeed poisoned, Chu Tingchuan used this as an excuse, saying that someone wanted to die without proof, so he poisoned Mo Liang to death, and when the investigation was suspended, the real culprit would be able to get away with it.
Therefore, Chu Tingchuan even demanded that this matter must be thoroughly investigated, if this matter is not thoroughly investigated, and Mo Liang is not innocent, he Chu Tingchuan will not give up. How could he let Mo Liang die unjustly like this?
Although Chu Xuhua said that he wanted to bury Mo Liang, he knew that Mo Liang was not dead at all, he just took fake death medicine. He had already reminded Mo Liang to be careful, and Mo Liang would not be fooled so easily.
Regarding Mo Liang's ability, Chu Xuhua still believes in it. As soon as Mo Liang could identify whether the food was poisonous or not, he believed that if he really poisoned Mo Liang, Mo Liang would soon know that the food was poisonous, and it would be impossible to eat it.
As for Mo Liang's use of fake death medicine, Chu Xuhua knew that this was just a plan. The queen must be cautious during the period of investigation, and if there is really no evidence in the investigation, Mo Liang will naturally die.
In this case, now that he has taken the medicine of fake death, he can naturally deceive the queen. However, if you want to take Mo Liang out of prison for burial, you still need the consent of your father. However, Chu Xuhua was very confident that he could get his father's consent.
After all, his words may not be painful for his father, but there is one person whose words must be listened to by his father. That is the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager has already spoken, and her father will naturally not be too disobedient. However, Chu Xuhua also knew that he must not let his father notice that the Empress Dowager was invited by him, otherwise, he would be miserable.
"Grandma, my grandson has something to ask for." When Chu Xuhua found the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager naturally didn't know that Mo Liang had been poisoned and died in prison. What Chu Xuhua wanted was to tell the Empress Dowager about this matter and achieve her goal.
"Hua'er, why are you the only one coming over today? If you have anything, just say it. Although Chu Xuhua is indifferent and doesn't like words on weekdays, the Empress Dowager knows that Chu Xuhua is really a filial child, but her emotions are not very expressive.
Maybe it was related to what happened when he was a child before, so Chu Xuhua became so taciturn, and he didn't even show his emotions on his face. Compared with Chu Tingchuan, what happened to Chu Xuhua was even worse. If it weren't for the help of Chu Tingchuan and Chu Tingchuan's queen mother at that time, it is estimated that Chu Xuhua would also die with his queen mother at that time.
This is why Chu Xuhua has always stayed by Chu Tingchuan's side and has been assisting Chu Tingchuan. If you have to talk about it, it is to repay the favor. Although Chu Tingchuan didn't take that matter to heart, among all the princes, Chu Tingchuan believed in it the most, and the one who was most assured was Chu Xuhua. It's great to have a brother who works hand in hand like this.
Chu Xuhua looked at the Empress Dowager with a serious expression. Compared with his usual indifferent expression, he could detect a strong sense of seriousness. After all, Chu Xuhua is also a prince, and as a person in the royal family, he naturally has an innate deterrent power.
I only heard Chu Xuhua's lips and teeth open lightly, and slowly said to the Empress Dowager, "This matter is very serious, I hope that Grandma Tai is mentally prepared." If it weren't for that, the grandson wouldn't want to trouble Grandma Tai and let Grandma know. ”
Seeing Chu Xuhua's seriousness, the Empress Dowager knew that what Chu Xuhua said must not be a joke. Chu Xuhua is different from Chu Tingchuan, Chu Xuhua has never been smiling, let alone making jokes with others, "What kind of serious thing is it that makes Hua'er so rigorous." Could it be that something happened to Chuan'er? ”
The only thing the Empress Dowager could think of was that something was wrong with Chu Tingchuan. Because Chu Tingchuan rarely came with Chu Xuhua, because in the past, Chu Tingchuan was almost inseparable from Chu Xuhua and came to visit her together.
"Grandma don't be nervous, it's not that something happened to the royal brother, but it has something to do with the imperial brother." Chu Xuhua continued in a light tone, "It's Mo Liang. Chu Xuhua didn't sell anything anymore, and said it directly.
When the Queen Mother heard this, didn't the deadline have not yet arrived? What happened to Mo Liang? Just thinking about it, the Empress Dowager knew that this matter must be inseparable from the queen! However, even if she thought so, without evidence, she naturally couldn't accuse the queen of anything. Now, the only way to do this is to hear what Chu Xuhua is going to ask her about.
"What happened to Mo Liang, isn't this deadline yet up?" The Empress Dowager couldn't help but ask curiously, only to hear Chu Xuhua reply, "Mo Liang's meal was poisoned, so ......" Chu Xuhua hadn't finished speaking, and the Empress Dowager hurriedly interrupted him, "Mo Liang was poisoned and died in prison?" ”
