Chapter 282: The Murderer Who Killed the First Empress
Chu Kun was sitting in the imperial study room waiting for Chu Ye. He had a complicated look on his face. He held a small white pot in his hand and kept rubbing the body of the pot with his fingers. There was a hint of confusion in his cold eyes.
Chu Ye pushed the door open and walked in without even saluting. He sat on the imperial chair covered with bright yellow brocade cushions in the royal study. He looked at Chu Kun with cold eyes and said with infinite coldness in his tone, "What else do you have to do with me?"
explain."
Chu Kun stared at him and said slowly: "Brother Huang, hasn't he always wanted to know the cause of death of his father and mother? I can tell you, but I want you to promise me something." The mother he mentioned refers to the queen.
It is not the current Queen Mother, but the former Queen, Chu Ye’s biological mother.
Chu Ye's brows moved, but his expression remained unchanged. He said, "You can tell me, but I may not agree to it."
In fact, he knew that he might not be able to hide his thoughts from Chu Kun. He really wanted to know what happened that day. During this period, he almost never gave up on the investigation. However, Chu Kun did it flawlessly and he just found some clues.
, but if we follow the clues further, they will all come to nothing. It has to be said that if Chu Kun puts this kind of thought on government affairs, he may not be a capable emperor.
However, a capable emperor may not necessarily be a good emperor.
Chu Kun didn't speak for a long time, and there was a deathly silence between the two of them. Everyone knew that what they were going to say and hear might be beyond their ability to accept, so no one was the first to break this silence.
Stiff and cold.
The bright sunlight filtered in from the slightly opened window, and it was so golden that it was hard to stare at it. Chu Kun had already sent away all the people waiting on him, leaving Xue Danshu outside the door, while the cicadas were noisy in the summer.
The prison chief had long ago ordered people to use sticky sticks to remove the cicadas all over the tree. Even outside the window, it was so quiet that it made people hair-raising.
Chu Kun's voice was like a cold front on this hot summer day. It made people's hair stand on end when they heard it, and made people tremble slightly when they heard it.
"When my father was seriously ill, the late empress and my mother-in-law served together. My mother-concubine poisoned the late queen's food. The late empress was unwell and could not serve my father. So, in front of my father's bedside,
There is only one mother and concubine. My father insisted on you inheriting the throne. No matter how hard my mother and concubine tried, he did not change his mind. However, your whereabouts were unknown at that time, and he did not dare to take too many risks. Therefore, in the end, he passed the throne to me, but he failed.
I made an obscene decree, that is, after you come back, the throne must be returned to you, and I also announced this imperial decree to the world. Even if I ascend the throne, it will be unfair. Of course I don’t want you to come back, and I hope you die.
It's better to be outside." When Chu Kun said this, his eyes suddenly became filled with hatred, and he shot at Chu Ye with hatred.
Chu Ye's face remained unchanged, but his heart was stirred up. He had always been favored by his father, and he never thought that Chu Kun would have thoughts in his heart.
Chu Kun continued: "My mother-in-law was even more unwilling than me. You were missing and I couldn't vent my anger on you, so I attacked the late queen. Because she had been waiting for my father before his death, he bribed the internal eunuch and the Ministry of Rites.
The minister, drafted a will to bury the late queen. As soon as this matter came out, some people were naturally suspicious, but all the ministers who were suspicious were silenced by the mother and concubine, including the imperial doctor who poisoned the late queen and the people in the late queen's palace.
, all of them were silenced by the mother and concubine one after another."
When Chu Kun said this, his tone was cold and vicious.
Chu Ye raised his eyes and looked at him, "She did this to allow you to sit on the throne, but you betrayed her in front of this king?" He was indescribably shocked in his heart.
Chu Kun curled up the corner of his mouth with a faint sneer, his eyes were confused and sad, "At first, I thought that everything she did was for me, but soon, I knew that she was doing it for me. She wants to be the queen first
She was buried as a martyr because she was unwilling to succumb to the former queen and become the Queen Mother. She allowed me to ascend the throne, but suppressed me at every turn. I finally understood that she wanted power, and she couldn't even trust me."
Chu Ye looked at Chu Kun, wondering whether he could believe what he said. However, he couldn't wait to say it, and he hadn't even agreed to exchange terms with him.
If Chu Kun hadn't been harboring hatred towards the Queen Mother for a long time, he might have deliberately said something to distract him.
Chu Ye stood up and said calmly: "Whether what you said is true or false, I will investigate clearly."
Chu Kun called out to him, "Brother Emperor, you haven't listened to my conditions yet."
Chu Ye said coldly: "I have not promised you."
Chu Kun looked a little hurt, and he said softly: "Whether the emperor agrees or not, I have to say that I hope the emperor will treat Long Yinle well. The queen mother knew that I made her a concubine, and she was very opposed to it. I didn't dare to disobey, so I had to obey.
Her decree. I know that with her vicious heart, if she doesn't like Long Yinle and I disobey her, she will definitely make things difficult for Long Yinle everywhere in the future." After that, he looked at Chu Ye quietly.
, there was pleading in his eyes.
Chu Ye sneered, "It seems that you are really good to her!"
Chu Kun was silent and sat on the chair a little tiredly, his expression gloomy.
Chu Ye fluttered his sleeves and left, taking away the coldness in the room.
Xue Danshu pushed the door open and walked in, bowing his hands and saluting, "Your Majesty, he's gone!"
Chu Kun hummed and asked thoughtfully: "What do you think he would do?"
Xue Danzhu's face was calm and he said: "According to Wei Chen's inference, the emperor first revealed Long Yinle's identity, and then asked General Xuanyuan to say that the person Long Yinle loved was not him. He must hate Long Yinle very much in his heart.
Deception. Then, he would put a harsh medicine in his mouth and let him know that it was the Queen Mother who killed the late Queen, and he would hate the Queen Mother very much. He knew that Long Yinle was not willing to enter the palace, and he also knew that the Queen Mother was not willing to let Long Yinle enter.
However, out of hatred for the two of them, he will arrange for Long Yinle to enter the palace and let Long Yinle and the Queen Mother kill each other!"
A cold smile bloomed at the corner of Chu Kun's mouth, "This is exactly what I want."
Xue Dan wrote: "We hope that the emperor will realize his wish as soon as possible."
Chu Kun looked at him with a warning look on his face and said: "Dan Shu, you are the most trusted person around me. I trust you. If a third party knows about this matter, don't blame me for not missing you Xue."
A loyal family!"
Xue Danshu was shocked. Although he knew the emperor would think so, but he said it so nakedly, he still felt unspeakably shocked and scared.
He cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured that I am not an incompetent person."
Chu Kun nodded with satisfaction, "Well, you go ahead and add some harsh medicine to let him arrange for Long Yinle to enter the palace as soon as possible."
"Yes, Wei Chen resigns!" Xue Danshu bowed and exited.
Chu Kun waved his hand and sent him off.
He still held the small white pot in his hand, and slid his fingers across the pot body. His eyes were poisonous and he said coldly: "Mother, it was you who forced me to do so. If you don't want me to rule the world, don't let your son die that day."
By supporting this throne, I am already controlled by Chu Ye, how can I let you suppress me again?"
After that, he slammed the small pot in his hand to the ground. The small porcelain bottle made a crisp and crackling sound when it came into contact with the ground. There were vermilion pills in the porcelain bottle rolling all over the floor. He squatted down and picked up one pill.
Hold the pill between two fingers, crush it and spread it away.
