Chapter 974 Disappointed
Chengming Palace.
King Fu held his belly and closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
But the other clans obviously couldn't sit still.
Everyone was gathering together and whispering to discuss the fire in Qingning Palace.
At this moment, the Empress Dowager broke into Chengming Palace despite the obstruction.
The eldest princess was originally dealing with her in Qingning Palace, but she was helpless in front of the unscrupulous Queen Mother.
There is no way, this is the role of power.
As soon as the empress dowager came in, she cursed: "Ai's family heard that King Qi ordered people to strictly enforce the palace ban and even canceled the court meeting. She was such a brave man. He was just a prince, not a regent. Why should he do this? This is to rebel?
?”
After everyone bowed, King Fu gently advised: "Empress Dowager, the matter has not been cleared yet. Please take a break and wait until Zhaohua comes."
The Empress Dowager sneered: "What? Grandpa Fu wants to use his seniority to suppress Ai's family?"
King Fu stopped talking, held his big belly and continued to close his eyes and pretend to sleep. He did not bother with the fool.
When everyone saw the Empress Dowager doing this, they also closed their mouths tactfully.
It turned out that the Empress Dowager could not find Aunt Jingxin's trace, and then was blocked by the eldest princess in the palace.
She was guilty and thought that the matter of killing the Empress Dowager in the future was exposed, so she attacked in advance and wanted to charge Changsun Tao first. When the matter was exposed, she denied all crimes on the grounds that King Qi ordered the exposer.
But she didn't expect that she would take the lead and lose her loneliness. The clan didn't know what happened at all, and she ignored her plans.
Just at this moment, Emperor Yuanwu was helped by Changsun Tao and walked in.
But seeing his pale face, his lips were foaming, and his weak look was terminally ill, the Empress Dowager immediately attacked Changsun Tao: "King Qi! What have you done to the emperor?!"
"My mother! Stop talking!" Emperor Yuanwu suddenly shouted, and looked at the empress dowager with resentment and reluctance, and more heartache and grievance.
A loud roar shocked everyone in the hall, including the Queen Mother.
She looked at Emperor Yuanwu with displeasure: "Emperor, what's wrong with you? King Qi intends to disrupt the court, and the Ai family is unfair to you. Why are you still treating the Ai family like this?"
Even though Emperor Yuanwu tried his best to restrain his inner grief, he was still angry with the empress dowager.
He was heartbroken and asked, "My mother, I should have been staying in Concubine Xiao's palace at this moment, but I dragged a sick body to Chengming Palace. You don't ask me what's wrong with me, but instead took the lead.
Pointing to the Emperor, don’t you think there is any problem with your behavior like this?”
Emperor Yuanwu slowly sat on the dragon throne and ordered the next Eunuch Lu, saying, "Tell the Empress Dowager, what did I take last night."
Eunuch Lu was busy for the middle of the night and was so tired that he was weak. His words were not as loud and sharp as usual. Hearing them, it seemed like endless grievances.
He only heard him say, "In order to force His Majesty to stay in Xiao Guifei's palace, the Empress Dowager gave His Majesty a bowl of medicine to cheer up, but unexpectedly, the bowl of medicine was dropped by someone and replaced with a decisive poison. If someone had not sacrificed his life to save him
, Your Majesty is probably already..."
They did not mention Wu Ti’s matter, they agreed in advance.
Once everyone in the world knows that Wu Ti uses the Empress Dowager to set up a situation to kill the emperor and play so many people in his hands, it will only deepen everyone's fear of Wu Ti and encourage Wu Ti's arrogance.
At the same time, the royal family will also become a laughing stock for the people of the world.
Therefore, Changsun Tao proposed not to mention Wu Ti and to blame the person who should bear the consequences.
Everyone was stunned.
The Queen Mother was excited: "Emperor, what do you mean? You imply that the Ai family poisoned you? Even if you have any objections to the Ai family, you cannot use this method to deal with your biological mother, right?"
Look, look at his good mother.
When others hear this news, their first reaction is shock and heartache.
But his mother felt that this was a way for him to deal with his mother.
Emperor Yuanwu was completely desperate, and his voice was cold: "My mother, don't worry, let's settle the account bit by bit."
After saying that, Emperor Wu of Yuan took out the handkerchief he wanted from Lu Xi, threw it to the empress dowager, and said, "When I drank that bowl of medicine yesterday, I felt that the taste was wrong, so I spit the medicine juice while wiping my mouth.
A little in this veil. Someone came to soak the veil in water and then poured the water for Chunxi to drink.”
Eunuch Lu immediately poured a bowl of water, then soaked the handkerchief in the water, and ordered someone to pinch Aunt Chunxi and roughly pour the water into Aunt Chunxi's mouth.
It would be useless to let Aunt Chunxi resist, and this scene made the relatives look a little ugly.
Aunt Chunxi is not entirely innocent. Although the yard where Lu Mingyong and Princess Zhenli were in the night of the accident was listed as a forbidden place, the great palace maid whom the Empress Dowager was serving him close to him could enter and exit without any obstacles.
Just before coming to Chengming Palace, Emperor Wu's confidant had already informed the found news.
How Lan Lingling was taken into the forbidden area, and how she was taken from the forbidden area to the steakhouse and put into the steamer were all done by Aunt Chunxi.
In this imperial city, as long as Aunt Chunxi does things in the name of the Empress Dowager, is there a place she cannot go? And it is difficult for people to doubt, after all, she is not a "suspicious person".
Therefore, the beginning of Emperor Wu of Yuan Dynasty's liquidation was this evil woman who relied on her power. Whether she was instructed by Wu Ti or the empress dowager, it didn't matter. She had to pay the price for her behavior.
After Aunt Chunxi drank the potion, she was thrown to the ground by the guards. She tried her best to pinch her throat, but she could not spit out a bowl of water.
After a while, she began to have strange things, as if she was drunk, and she couldn't stand steadily.
Then, she became very excited and appeared in a state of madness.
After excitement, her breath of life passed away like sand at fingertips, and then she fell to the ground and died.
Everyone was so shocked that they couldn't speak, and they opened their eyes wide and looked at the scene.
Emperor Yuanwu closed his eyes in pain and said, "Did you see it? Mother, this is the medicine I drank last night."
The Empress Dowager watched Chunxi die in front of her, so scared that she could not speak for a moment.
This is the person who has served her all her life, and it is the dowry to enter the palace with her from the Xiao family.
After reacting, the Empress Dowager strongly denied: "There is no Ai family! How could the Ai family poison their son? The Ai family ordered Chunxi to do it, and it was indeed a happy wine."
There was a cold curve on the corner of Emperor Yuanwu's lips: "Chunxi has done a lot of things without you! Do you know that she actually put a living little girl in the big steamer in the kitchen. When I arrived,
The water has already rolled up. If I go one step late, will there be any serious consequences?”
Emperor Yuanwu coughed violently, and some blood was spilled out of the corners of his lips. He didn't care, so he reached out to wipe it off and continued to ask the Queen Mother: "Mother, who is slandering in your ears, saying that the Emperor's uncle is so powerful that he is shocked by the Lord.
What is the plan to usurp the throne?"
"Who advises you to send your aunt's sister to death with the Yu family? Who is it? Instigating you to take this bowl of deadly poison to me? Please tell me everything."
At this time, the empress dowager finally realized the seriousness of the matter. She panicked and looked at her son: "Ce'er...you... are you okay? Ai's family didn't know that Chunxi would give the medicine to cheer up without authorization.
If it was replaced by a desperate poison, the Ai family didn’t know!”
She explained incoherently, never mentioning the person behind her.
She can't say it, she must not say it.
The King of Fu could not bear it first. He said sternly: "The murder of the emperor is to punish the great crime of the nine clans! What fig leaf is there to find here? Just hand it over to the Ministry of Justice for a thorough investigation. It is serious to punish according to the law."
Other sects have also understood the secrets. Why is it judged in front of sects? It is simply that their own people have made mistakes.
Chunxi is a member of the Xiao family. She has been with the Queen Mother for the rest of her life. Who can command her besides the Xiao family? Or can she be able to buy her?
Everyone showed a look of understanding.
Just at this moment, someone came to report: "Your Majesty, the Duke of Yue has heard that the Empress Dowager had met Xiao Yunfeng, the son of the Xiao family a few days ago."
A piece of news drove the Queen Mother into a cold hell.
That's right, the one who gave him the idea was his nephew Xiao Yunfeng. The reason why she never mentioned it was because she was afraid of implicating the Xiao family.
Isn’t the son still alive? She can’t let her parents and brothers lose their lives for this matter.
