Chapter 216 Do You Really Think I'm Made of Paper?
The palace finally quieted down.
The imperial doctors had all left. When the guards outside escorted the emperor away, Hongyu slowly took out a handkerchief to wipe his eyes, sobbing twice: "Your Highness, I can't live without you..."
Chu Qinghuang looked at him expressionlessly.
Four pairs of eyes beside him fell on his face, and Fu Cang standing in the corner also looked at him coldly and calmly.
Are you addicted to acting?
Hongyu had a sincere expression on his face: "Your Highness, how is my true expression?"
Chu Qinghuang said indifferently: "I should be able to make a living in the opera troupe."
Hongyu curled his lips: "With my looks, figure, and acting skills, it shouldn't be a problem to be a pillar of the stage."
Fu Cang silently poured a cup of tea and brought it over. The rest of the people in the palace were his own people, and he didn't need to force himself to abide by his duties.
Just seeing Chu Qinghuang's healthy face now pale and haggard, his chest was boiling with murderous aura, making him want to rush to the Xuanwang Mansion right now and cut Feng Wanyue into pieces.
"Your Highness, was the poison given by the daughter of the Feng family?" Chu Lingchuan took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve, unplugged the bottle, and the inner hall was immediately filled with fragrance.
Chu Lingchuan poured a pill into his palm, pinched it with his fingers and sent it to Chu Qinghuang's mouth, "She is quite courageous."
Chu Qinghuang took the pill and said indifferently: "She is not courageous, but she thinks she has done it perfectly."
The venom extracted from the heartbreak grass is originally colorless and tasteless. People with extremely sensitive taste buds can taste a little bit of bitterness in it. However, after being mixed with tea, this slight bitterness is completely covered by the taste of tea, and it is difficult for ordinary people to detect it.
In addition, there is no evidence - Ah Xiang, who is responsible for the tea, has jumped into the well and committed suicide.
Feng Wanyue naturally thought that others could not find out anything.
If Chu Qinghuang's guess is correct, Ah Xiang should be an orphan with no relatives alive, otherwise she would never dare to do such a thing - jumping into the well to commit suicide is equivalent to admitting that she murdered the princess and the royal family, and this crime is enough to implicate her entire family.
Chu Lingchuan asked: "Your Highness, do we need to intervene in this matter?"
If he intervenes, it will definitely not be a small fight, at least the Xiqi Imperial City will be shaken.
"No need." Chu Qinghuang said in a light tone, "Let Prince Xuan and his wife investigate it themselves, it's best to make them so busy that they are exhausted and dizzy, and don't bother me in the future."
Shen Zhongjin frowned slightly: "Your Highness, don't you take this opportunity to drag Prince Xuan's Mansion into the water?"
"It's not time yet." Chu Qinghuang leaned against the head of the bed, his voice indifferent, "Although Princess Xuan is not a likable person, but for now, this couple has not done anything that makes me hate-"
"Your Highness, what you said is biased." Hongyu curled his lips, quite dissatisfied, "Princess Xuan She presented a handsome man to His Highness in public. She originally wanted to perform a sword dance of a banished immortal, but unfortunately her skills were not good enough and she made a big fool of herself. Isn't this disgusting enough? "
Chu Qinghuang glanced at him: "They like to make a fool of themselves. What does it have to do with me? I am not interested in paying attention to these things. "
The man didn't provoke her. After being pulled out of the water, he left on his own without saying a word. As for whether he would be punished later... probably not, because the couple of Prince Xuan were too busy investigating the poisoning to pursue a person who failed in the performance.
Hongyu choked and couldn't help but explain: "But it is true that Princess Xuan wanted to present a handsome man to His Highness, and she is not happy. "
"You are not happy?" Chu Qinghuang said lightly, "Don't you get along well with the little princess of Prince Rong's Mansion?"
The little princess of Prince Rong's Mansion?
Four pairs of eyes looked over at the same time, with the excitement of an obedient book.
"Is Xiao Yu'er going to have an affair?" Qi Ling frowned, "Don't forget that you are His Highness's servant. If you dare to flirt with other women outside and disobey your husband's rules, even if His Highness does not punish you, we, as her brothers, will set some rules for you."
Hong Yu's face was full of disdain: "First, I have no interest in that little girl at all. She is so young and devoted to His Highness. How could she be interested in other women?"
Everyone sneered.
"Second, don't show off your brother's power in front of me. I'm not afraid of you." Hong Yu snorted coldly, "Do you really think that this young master is made of paper?"
Qi Ling stretched out his hand to pinch his face: "Not paper? Then what is Xiao Yu'er made of?"
"Don't touch me." Hong Yu slapped his presumptuous hand away, "This young master is the reincarnation of a spirit boy, why don't you kneel down and worship me?"
The sneers of the crowd became more and more obvious.
The originally oppressive atmosphere was quickly wiped away by the words of several people, and the atmosphere in the palace turned into a relaxed and joyful atmosphere.
Fu Cang stood aside and watched Chu Qinghuang's complexion improve after taking the medicine. For the first time, he felt that these guys were not so annoying after all.
