Chapter 791 Still smart
In Feifeng Palace, the queen sat on the Arhat bed against the western wall. At this time, she closed her eyes and looked peaceful, but she was holding a teacup in her hand. Because she tried too hard, her hands were all white.
At this time, when he heard footsteps, the queen opened her eyes suddenly and saw the nanny beside her lifting the curtain and coming in.
"how's it going?"
The nanny shook her head and paused, "It's surrounded by Shangguan Xu. An Yue couldn't come out, so I really don't know what's going on inside. But when I was looking outside, I saw Shangguan Xu leading several imperial physicians in a hurry, maybe..."
The queen's eyes lit up, and then she smiled, "It must be that he had drunk the ginseng soup and poisoned it!"
"Empress, after all, this ginseng soup was given in your name."
"So what, just a bastard, can the emperor kill me for him? Haha, if Yan Mu is eliminated, the throne is the fourth child! I am now the queen, and I will be the queen mother in the future. So what if that vixen is favored by the emperor, how can I compare with me!"
The queen was laughing proudly, and Shangguan Xu came with the guards.
"Empress, please move to the position of the Criminal Department."
The queen smiled and pretended to be ignorant, "Shangguan Governor was joking, what are I doing in that kind of place?"
Shangguan Xu lowered his head and smiled, "I'll know when the Empress goes."
"I won't go!" the queen snorted coldly, "What do you mean by saying here."
"The emperor gave the order, the empress wouldn't listen to it?"
The queen hummed, "Then let the emperor come and talk to me!"
Shangguan Xu narrowed his eyes and waved his hand to let the guards come in, "Since the queen refuses to walk out with decent attitude, then tie it up."
The queen stood up suddenly, "You dare!"
"Slaves are just following orders."
No matter how the queen struggled or scolded her, Shangguan Xu still asked the guards to tie her up and then took her to the prison cell of the judicial department in the palace.
The queen lost all face and scolded all the way. When she came to the prison cell, she saw the emperor sitting inside, so she stopped scolding.
"Your Majesty, I don't understand, what do you mean?"
The queen wanted to pretend to be stupid, but she didn't realize that the emperor's anger had reached its limit. He slapped the table hard and cursed at the queen: "Poisonous woman!"
"Your Majesty, you, you can't wrongly accuse me!"
"The ginseng soup you sent someone to send is poisonous!"
"Is there something wrong?" The queen pretended to be surprised, "Someone must have bought the imperial kitchen and poisoned Lao Qi. This child relied on the identity of the seventh prince and the 100,000 troops in the north of the town, and bullied many people outside. I guess someone took revenge on him."
"How did the queen wet nurse determine that it is me?"
Hearing this, the queen's spine froze and turned her head dullly. Seeing Yan Mu walk in, her eyes suddenly widen, "You...you..."
"Thank you, my grandmother, I didn't drink that bowl of poisonous ginseng soup."
The queen clenched her fists and tried to be as natural as possible, "Then, that's great."
"Actually, I can understand that the Empress wants to harm me. After all, my existence has indeed hindered the Fourth Brother. It's just my father. You and him have been so cruel to have you been with him for so many years."
"What do you mean?"
"What do I mean?" Yan Mu smiled, "What did the queen do, but would you ask me?"
"You want to wrongly accuse me of poisoning the emperor!"
Yan Mu sighed long, walked behind the emperor and stood still, glanced at the queen with sarcasm, and then lowered his eyes.
"emperor……"
"Kneel down!" The emperor shouted angrily.
The queen pursed her lips and saw that the emperor's face turned pale, she still knelt down first.
"Your maid has already told her to confront you?"
"This... she must have been bribed."
"The imperial chef you bribed the imperial kitchen also told me, and he was also bribed?"
"Please check it out clearly."
"Okay, very good!" The emperor nodded and looked up at Shangguan Xu, "The fourth brother has brought it."
"It's in the punishment room."
"Let him confess honestly, if there is any concealment, he will be punished!"
"yes!"
When the queen heard this, she became anxious, "Master, he is your legitimate son. If you are injured, you will have no successor!"
"What's the use of wanting to kill my legitimate son!"
"I and the fourth brother never thought of murdering the emperor!"
"I have poisonous ginseng soup, how do you explain it?"
When the queen heard this, she suddenly widened her eyes and said excitedly: "No, it's impossible!"
"It's thanks to the governor Shangguan caught the palace maid and forced him to ask the truth, otherwise the father and I would have been poisoned and died of death at this moment." Yan Mu sighed and pretended to be sad, "The Empress hates me, I have always known it, but the Emperor, why do you hate him so much? Is it because he loves Concubine Meng, which makes you jealous?"
"you!"
"Tsk tsk, that's the case, you shouldn't have done such a ruthless move." Yan Mu shook his head and said.
The queen took a few breaths to calm herself down. She lowered her eyes and said, "Your Majesty, please think carefully. If I really want to poison a seventh child, it will be enough to poison a seventh child. Only the fourth child is left under your knees. Sooner or later, the throne will belong to him. And now the situation in the court is that the fourth child cannot suppress it. If I harm you, it will be like harming myself and me. I will not do such a stupid thing."
The Queen calmed down and said something was a bit reasonable, and the Emperor really listened to it.
He thought for a while and said, "Can you admit that you poisoned Lao Qi?"
The queen pursed her lips, "I... admit it, but I only told them to poison Lao Qi's bowl of ginseng soup, maybe they were confused!"
The evidence was placed in front of her, and she couldn't help but refuse to admit it.
"You, you are so brave!" the emperor shouted angrily.
"I know that I am wrong, so please punish the emperor, but this matter has nothing to do with the fourth brother. He doesn't know about it. Please don't implicate the anger on him." The queen kowtowed repeatedly.
Yan Mu pulled the corner of his mouth and admitted that poisoning him was more serious than poisoning the emperor, especially when he was not dead, the emperor might have turned a big deal into a small matter in order to take into account the royal face.
The queen is a little reckless, but not too stupid.
The emperor thought about the queen's words, and his anger gradually subsided.
"You're so confused."
"I have given birth to three legitimate sons for you. The eldest and the third brother passed away one after another, and only the fourth brother is left. I am also very loving to my son. I beg the emperor for forgiveness, but I know that I am wrong. There is also the seventh brother, I am sorry, but I am your legitimate mother, so please help me say good things to the emperor."
Yan Mu almost laughed angry. He wanted to poison him and asked him to help him say good things. The queen was indeed thick-skinned, but she was indeed smart. If he didn't care, the emperor would naturally go down the road when he saw his attitude and would not go into it.
Yan Mu turned his mind and turned to the emperor and said, "Father, my son's life is not worth cherishing. As long as the Empress does not harm you, it is not a serious sin. Please forgive the Empress easily, for the first to serve the national system, and for the harmony of our family."
The emperor turned his head to look at Yan Mu, nodded with relief, "You are more sensible in your teachings from your father these days."
"Then I won't pursue this matter."
"We must not fail to pursue the matter, so we will punish the queen to reflect on herself for three months."
"Your Majesty, the Fourth Highness has confessed that the Queen had conspired with him to poison you and the Seventh Highness. He advised the Queen, but he did not expect the Queen to listen and said that this matter had nothing to do with him."
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, Shangguan Xu came in and reported to interrupt him.
