Chapter 217: Borrowing a Knife to Kill
The poisoning of the eldest princess shocked the entire imperial city. It was even more shocking than the fact that King Jin killed his own princess, and it attracted great attention——
Of course, these concerns are not entirely concerned, but more of expectations and regrets.
Some people hope that after this incident, Chu Qinghuang can restrain his behavior a little and stop offending so many people. Otherwise, he will not be so lucky next time, and he may really die at some point, and it will be difficult for the gods to save him.
Some people regretted that such a poison as heartbroken grass could not kill Chu Qinghuang, and allowed this scourge to continue to do evil, making the civil and military people in the court panic. They really wanted to hear the good news that she was poisoned and died immediately. When the time comes, It turned out to be clapping and cheering, and everyone was celebrating.
However, the mood of the civil and military officials in the court did not represent the mood of the Queen and Prince Xuan and his wife - at least at this time, they had no hope or even fear that something would happen to Chu Qinghuang.
"What did you say?" The queen's face changed in shock when she heard the palace servant's report, "The eldest princess was poisoned in Prince Xuan's Mansion?"
"My Lady, please don't be anxious." Aunt Gu quickly reassured her, "Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess is fine, but we haven't found out who poisoned her yet. King Xuan and Princess will definitely not attack the Eldest Princess, but we invited them today. It’s hard to guarantee that the others don’t have ulterior motives…”
The queen gritted her teeth: "These little bitches just want to frame my son."
"The more this time comes, the more composure the empress must have." Nanny Gu said, "The Emperor is a wise emperor, and he must have guessed that His Highness Prince Xuan would never poison the eldest princess at this juncture, let alone kill the eldest princess. The princess is not good for us. Even if it is good, we can't do anything in Prince Xuan's Mansion. Isn't this something obvious? "
The Queen was anxious: "The Emperor is back?"
"Just got back."
"Changing clothes, I have to go see the emperor." The queen was so anxious that she couldn't sit still and wanted to know the current situation. "If I don't ask clearly, I will always feel uneasy."
"yes."
The queen changed her clothes and arrived at Yuqian Palace in a phoenix chariot.
After the palace official informed her, she walked steadily into the palace and saluted respectfully: "See your Majesty."
The emperor glanced at her and said calmly: "The queen is flat."
"Your Majesty, I heard that Xiao Qi was poisoned, and I couldn't wait to come over and ask what happened? Why was she poisoned when she was fine?" The queen looked worried, and her face was pale and frightened. "How is Xiaoqi's condition? Is there anything serious? Has the imperial doctor been sent to see her? When I heard the news, I was so panicked that I lost my mind——"
"I have already gone to see it myself." The emperor interrupted her, his tone was not gentle, and even contained a bit of anger. "Qinghuang is not in danger of his life, but his body will inevitably be damaged. He needs to rest and rest for a few days." moon."
The queen suppressed her panic and calmed down: "What is going on? Who is so bold and seeking death that he dares to poison Xiao Qi?"
"I have asked the imperial guards to assist Dali Temple in finding out the truth. No matter who it is, as long as it is found out, I will never let it go." The emperor said coldly, "Before the real culprit is found, Prince Xuan's Mansion will be banned first. Anyone in the palace will be banned." No one can escape suspicion.”
The queen's heart sank and she was silent for a moment, but she calmed down and nodded slowly: "The emperor is right. Before the real murderer is found, everyone in Prince Xuan's palace - including the noble ladies who went to attend the flower viewing party today, Everyone is suspected, no one can be let go easily. "
Seeing that she still understood the overall situation, the emperor's face softened slightly: "Qinghuang has offended many people during this period. Some people hold grudges and some are afraid. People who hate her want her to die, and people with evil intentions naturally also want her to die... …But this matter should not be difficult to investigate.”
People who do bad things will always leave some clues. As long as you want to check, there is nothing that cannot be found.
"Now we just have to wait for the Dali Temple Minister and Chu Xuanyi to report the results of the investigation. I want to see who is this reckless person who wants to chase Qiu Hou to be interrogated and executed?" The emperor said more and more. Angry, his tone was full of murderous aura, "If you dare to attack Qinghuang, I will never give you mercy."
The queen said nothing, but her mood was not good.
She knew that those little bitches would never let her live a peaceful life so easily, especially the two grasshoppers after Qiu, who would not make her feel comfortable even if they didn't feel comfortable.
Something happened to Chu Qinghuang in Prince Xuan's Mansion. Even if Prince Xuan and his wife were found to be unjust, the emperor would definitely be dissatisfied.
Damn it!
"Chen Hai." The emperor stared at the queen's leaving figure with a heavy gaze, "Princess Xuan took the initiative to invite Qinghuang to enjoy the flowers. Do you think he wants to win over Qinghuang, or does he want to deal with Qinghuang?"
"This..." Chen Hai lowered his head and said in fear, "I don't dare to make random guesses."
The emperor smiled coldly: "The queen is smart, but sometimes being too smart is not necessarily a good thing."
