Xiao Chengyi's eyes were dark, with a hint of anger: "Do you remember how you cured your uncle of the poison?"
Xiao Jue nodded: "It's Concubine Shun's blood." As he said that, he was suddenly startled, looked up at Xiao Chengyi and said, "You mean there is something wrong with Concubine Shun's blood?"
Xiao Chengyi found out that his father's coma was related to a concubine in the harem. After examination, he found that she was indeed responsible.
She said that the Gu worm was brought to her by the third prince from outside the palace. As long as she used it for His Majesty, she would be favored by him, so she quietly tampered with it while she was sleeping.
However, after the incident was revealed, the third prince kept complaining, saying that he had never brought any poisonous insects to his mother-in-law, and that he had to be tortured before recruiting them. He revealed that the way to understand poisonous insects was the blood of his mother-in-law and concubine.
.
As expected, his father woke up after drinking Concubine Shun's blood. However, after his father woke up, the third prince committed suicide out of fear of guilt, and Concubine Shun was thrown into the cold palace.
The whole thing was that the third prince wanted to seize power and usurp the throne, trying to blame the prince. However, because of the death of the third prince, the source of the poisonous insect was unknown.
And this is exactly the reason why Xiao Chengyi wants to go to southern Xinjiang.
Xiao Chengyi seemed to have sorted out some ideas. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Go to the cold palace."
...
In the cold palace.
The dilapidated palace door was pushed open by someone. The woman sitting at the table slowly raised her head and looked at the visitor. She was in her thirties and looked elegant.
And this person is the concubine Shun who was relegated to the cold palace. She was Xiao Chongjun's old man when he was in the dormitory, and she had a son who was the third prince.
Later, when Xiao Chongjun ascended the throne, she was named a Shun noble, and later promoted to a Shun concubine.
The shun concubine is not very favored in the harem, but because she has a son like the third prince, she is better off than other concubines who have no heirs.
In Empress Sun's eyes, Shun Concubine is a gentle and kind person who never becomes an enemy to others.
But who would have thought that her ambition could be so great.
Xiao Chengyi looked at the woman sitting at the table drinking tea. He had not been in Nanyue for a long time. He had only met this concubine a few times at palace banquets and didn't know her very well.
Now it seems that this woman is not simple.
Concubine Shun put down the tea cup in her hand, looked at Xiao Chengyi opposite and said: "I heard that you have been named regent. I haven't congratulated you yet. You have achieved such an achievement at such a young age. You are really amazing."
Xiao Chengyi's eyes were heavy, but he suddenly said: "Aren't you a concubine?"
Concubine Shun raised her eyebrows, her face filled with confusion: "What are the regents talking about? Who am I if I'm not Concubine Shun?"
Xiao Chengyi also came up with this conclusion just now: "I thought it was strange at the time. Logically speaking, a mother should protect her son and bear all the burdens.
But Concubine Shun, you gave up your son easily! In the eyes of others, you are timid and afraid of making a blunder, but in my opinion, you don’t care at all about the life or death of the third prince?
You didn't show any sadness when you heard about the death of the third prince. This is definitely not the attitude a mother should have.
So there is only one possibility, you are not the biological mother of the Third Prince, and you did everything by yourself, just to let His Majesty drink your blood!"
