Chapter Forty-Eight: It's Better to Have Pity on the People in Front of You

Xi Ze returned to Taoyuxuan with Yun Tian, who still hadn't woken up, and after placing Yun Tian in the bedroom, he walked out, sat at the top of the main hall of Taoyuxuan, looked at Chengyou, Shu Yuxiao and the palace people kneeling below, and asked in a deep voice: "Say, which of you framed my Concubine Rong?" ”

Everyone hurriedly leaned over and shouted injustice.

"Enough!" Xi Ze sharply interrupted everyone's shouting of grievances, and turned to Rui'er, "Rui'er, you are the palace maid in charge of Taoyuxuan, you go and bring all the food and water that Concubine Rong has eaten today to Huang Imperial Doctor for examination, I want to see what is wrong!" ”

Rui'er immediately acted as ordered, and Imperial Doctor Huang checked them one by one, and finally detected the poison of the red jade branch in the honey lotus dew brought by Shu Yuxiao. He truthfully reported to Xi Zeyu: "Your Majesty, the other foods are not poisonous, only the honey lotus dew in this urn is poisonous, and it is the poison of the red jade branch!" ”

Shu Yuxiao was shocked when she heard this, and said in a lost voice: "How is this possible? The emperor Mingjian, this poison is not under the concubine, the concubine and Concubine Rong are like sisters, and it is impossible to poison her! ”

"So, this honey lotus dew was brought to Concubine Rong today?" Xi Ze asked with a frown.

Shu Yuxiao was shocked to realize that he was too anxious because he was too surprised, but since he had already said it, he could only admit it: "Yes...... It was brought by the concubine, but the concubine was not poisoned! ”

Xi Ze immediately asked: "The things you brought were poisonous, but you said that it wasn't you who poisoned, so who do you say would be poisoned?" ”

"This ......" Shu Yuxiao immediately panicked, looked around, but found nothing, so he had to say, "The concubine doesn't know, but the concubine is really innocent, please let the emperor know!" ”

Xi Ze snorted coldly and ordered: "I can't say it, right, Sixi, you immediately take someone to search the Jiyue Pavilion, I don't believe that this Lotus Ronghua can be dealt with so quickly!" Then he ordered another chamberlain, "Sunset, go and send me the envoy of the Torture Division and the four young envoys, it seems that there is no need to torture, these people will not tell the truth!" ”

Sixi and Sunset immediately carry out Xi Ze's orders.

Sixi didn't find the poison of the red jade branch in the Jiyue Pavilion, Xi Ze looked at the envoy of the Torture Division who was standing on the side, and ordered, "Where is the commander of the Torture Division?" ”

Mo Qi, the head of the Torture Division, immediately came out and replied: "The slave is here!" ”

Xi Ze ordered coldly with a cold face: "Search my body!" ”

Seeing this, Shu Yuxiao's face immediately turned white, kowtowed and begged: "Your Majesty, the concubine is a concubine, so she searches her body in public, how will the concubine behave in the future?" ”

Xi Ze heard it as if he hadn't heard it, and motioned to Mo Qi to quickly execute the order.

Mo Qi had no choice but to execute it immediately, however, Mo Qi did not find anything suspicious on Shu Yuxiao's body.

Xi Ze frowned tightly, walked to the hall in person, walked around Shu Yuxiao, Xi Ze's eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and finally found a small yellow paper between Shu Yuxiao's belt, and there was still white powder on one side of the yellow paper. The corners of Xi Ze's mouth hooked up with a contemptuous arc: "It seems that the commander of the Severe Punishment Division should be replaced!" ”

Xi Ze handed the small piece of paper to Imperial Doctor Huang for examination, and Imperial Doctor Huang immediately recognized that the remaining white powder was the poison of the red jade branch.

At this time, Shu Yuxiao was completely dumbfounded.

Xi Ze sat at the top again, looked at Shu Yuxiao, who was pale, and asked with a cold face: "Shu Yuxiao, what else do you have to say?" ”

Shu Yuxiao was already crying and couldn't tell the difference, so she only cried out for injustice: "The concubine really doesn't know how that little piece of paper got to the concubine, but the concubine really didn't poison Concubine Rong, and the concubine and Concubine Rong are like sisters, how can there be any reason to harm her?" This is absolutely impossible, someone must be framing the concubine, the concubine is wronged, the emperor is clear......"

However, no matter how much she was shouting, Xi Ze couldn't listen to it, and Xi Ze interrupted her cry sharply: "Enough, the physical evidence is already in front of you, and you still want to shout injustice, do you think I will still believe you?" The five commanders of the Severe Punishment Division are here, and the punishment is inflicted on you, how long have you survived? For the sake of you being brought into the palace by me from Prince Gong's mansion, I won't torture you, come and send the Shu family into the cold palace! ”

In this way, Shu Yuxiao was dragged into the cold palace.

Someone outside the cloud leaning bedroom looked inside.

It's Seung-bless.

Seeing this, Xi Ze frowned and said unhappily: "What are you doing again?" ”

Chengyou stood at the door and replied tremblingly, "Erchen...... Erchen wants to see Concubine Rong! ”

Xi Ze was angry and reprimanded: "Yesterday I came to see Yun Tian, she was fine, but as soon as you appeared today, she had an accident, you are really her disaster star!" Now you still want to pester her, do you want to kill her? Why don't you get out of here?! ”

"Don't drive him away...... Yun Tian didn't know when he woke up, and weakly persuaded, "Xi Ze, please don't drive Chengyou away!" He's still so ......."

When Xi Ze heard this, he turned his head to look at Yun Tian, and asked eagerly, "Yun Tian, are you awake?" How does it feel now? ”

Yun replied reluctantly, "I'm fine...... I just feel very tired and my head is a little heavy! I don't blame Chengyou for the implementation of the palace, so let Chengyou in! ”

Xi Ze relented and called Chengyou in.

Chengyou got permission, ran to Yuntian bed in a few steps, knelt beside the bed, and asked with a pout: "Mother Rong, do you want to leave Chengyou like your mother?" ”

It's just that before the words were finished, tears flowed first.

Yun poured pity on his heart, raised his hand slightly, as if he wanted to wipe away the tears on his face for Chengyou, but he couldn't touch his little face in the end, so he had to cheer up and comforted: "Chengyou, I don't have ...... I never said I'd leave you alone! I'm not going to leave you alone! ”

When Chengyou heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed Yun Tian's hand, and cried: "Concubine Rong, I know that you love me...... I saw you vomiting a lot of blood just now, and I thought ...... I thought you wouldn't bless it...... Rong's mother, her mother has left Chengyou, Chengyou is afraid, don't leave Chengyou, Chengyou must be obedient, not naughty or noisy, don't leave Chengyou, okay? ”

Seeing this, Yun Tian couldn't stop his tears from falling, and quickly nodded and said with pity: "Okay...... Good...... Thank you, I'm ...... I have already sat on the concubine position, except for the queen and the concubine in the harem, I can suppress the others, I know that you must be very sad in the Yanxi Palace, but you have to be harassed by other concubines, I am in a hurry, I want to go to the Yanxi Palace to find you, for you to block those ill-intentioned concubines, fortunately, you are clever, you know that you come to Taoyuxuan to find me......"

When Chengyou heard this, he was greatly moved, and cried: "Mother Rong, I know that you are the only one in the palace who treats me sincerely except for my father, queen and mother!" They...... They just want to use me to compete for favor, who really loves me? I know that what they are fighting for is not me at all, but my identity as the eldest son of the emperor, and I can see their hypocrisy, I am not stupid......"

When Yun Tian heard this, he was even more distressed: "You don't want to stay alone in Yanxi Palace these days, even if you come to my Taoyu Xuan, with me protecting you, I will never let them fight for you like an item and harass you wantonly...... Child, you must not hold back when you are sad, you are still so young, you have to release it, cry! With me, no one can bother you......"

At this point, Chengyou's mental defense line collapsed across the board, and he held Yun Tian's hand tightly and cried bitterly!

Xi Ze sat silently and listened to their conversation, moved at the same time, but also extremely cold.

The heat and coldness of the world is like this, he thought that he was used to seeing through it, and there would never be a trace of waves in his heart, but he didn't expect this torment to be turned over and over so cold that it was so decisive that it trembled.

He knew that his silence was extremely selfish, and Yun Tian was already sick and difficult to take care of himself, how could he watch her do her best to fulfill her responsibilities as a father for him and support his young son's fragile soul? But at this moment, he was so desperate and silent that he couldn't hold the shackles of this emperor, and he couldn't say half a word of comfort to soothe the heart of his young son, the devastated wolf, and relieve him of the pain of losing his mother!

Perhaps, Yun Tian is the most suitable person to raise and bless.

But how could he just think about his young son, and throw the heavy responsibility of raising the prince on Yun Tian, who couldn't even take care of himself, and be at ease alone?

Yun Tian's body was no longer able to bear such a responsibility, so he could only cut off this sincere and valuable mother-son friendship and choose an adoptive mother for Chengyou among the other concubines.
