Chapter 169: Choosing a Day to Be Executed

"Su Peisheng, go and take a look!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Su Peisheng walked over, dug out a dirty purse from the pile of mud on the ground, and showed it to the emperor.

The emperor came closer and looked at the dirty purse in Su Peisheng's hand, frowning.

"open to take a look."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Su Peisheng opened his purse and took out a small dumpling wrapped in oil paper.

"Your Majesty, there is a strange fragrance in here, please move away."

The guards immediately stood in front of the emperor.

Su Peisheng carefully opened the little dumpling, smelled it, and looked puzzled.

He looked at Wen Shichu, "Doctor Wen, you are well versed in medicine. Come over here and smell it. What is this?"

"Yes, Eunuch Su."

Wen Shichu hurried over, picked up the oil paper ball in Su Peisheng's hand, and smelled it carefully.

After a while, his face looked a little solemn.

The emperor saw it and said in a deep voice: "Doctor Wen, what's going on?!"

Wen Shichu knelt on his knees, looking terrified.

"Your Majesty, there is a large amount of musk powder in here, and it is also mixed with a lot of drugs! If a pregnant woman smells this smell for a long time, she may suffer from insufficient Qi and blood, leading to miscarriage!"

The emperor's face darkened, and he looked at Concubine Hua who was still sleeping on the bed, gnashing his teeth and saying to Wen Shichu,

"You treat Concubine Hua first!"

Wen Shichu nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

The emperor looked at Su Peisheng, "Take this and follow me to the Yanxi Palace... No, to the Jingren Palace!"

When he finally set his eyes on Songzhi, his tone softened a little.

"Take good care of your master!"

Song Zhi bowed, "Yes, Your Majesty."

After saying these words, the emperor instructed Wen Shichu that if Concubine Hua woke up, he should report to Jingren Palace as soon as possible.

Wen Shichu agreed to all of them.

The sun had completely set, and the entire palace was plunged into darkness.

The palace in November had lost the last bit of its remaining heat and was beginning to cool.

The queen stood at the palace gate and subconsciously looked at it.

Although the Emperor did not order anyone to come for dinner tonight, the Empress still went to see him out of habit.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

Su Peisheng's voice shocked and delighted the queen.

She looked at Jianqiu and asked, "Did I hear it wrong?"

Jianqiu said happily: "Your Majesty, you heard it right! The Emperor is really here!"

Ever since Zhen Huan regained his favor and Concubine Hua became pregnant, the Emperor hasn't come to Jingren Palace for a long time.

The queen waited anxiously, and finally the emperor arrived.

With trembling hands, she touched the black hair on her temples and said, "Help me take a look. Is my hair messy?"

Jianqiu walked over, took a closer look, and said with a smile: "The queen is the mother of the country, dignified and dignified, and unparalleled in her elegance."

Although they were words of comfort, the queen felt very comfortable listening to them.

While the master and servant were talking, the emperor came in angrily.

"Queen, are you having dinner?" The Emperor strode in.

"Greetings to the Emperor!" The Queen stood up and bowed to the Emperor.

When she stood up, she found Noble Lady Fucha following the emperor, and her face changed.

"Your concubine pays respects to the Empress." Noble Lady Fucha paid respects to the Empress with a pale face.

The queen's eyes were deep, "Get up."

"Thank you, Queen."

After Noble Lady Fucha stood up, she looked at the Emperor uneasily.

The emperor seemed not to notice the look of help she gave him and just sat down.

"Jianqiu, go and lick the dishes." The queen ordered Jianqiu.

"Yes, madam!"

Jianqiu turned and walked towards the kitchen and heard the Queen ask the Emperor if he needed an extra pair of chopsticks for Noble Lady Fucha.

The emperor snorted coldly and said nothing.

The queen smiled stiffly and asked gently, "Your Majesty, what happened?"

"Let Noble Lady Fucha speak for herself!" The emperor raised the wine glass in his hand and looked at Noble Lady Fucha coldly.

Noble Lady Fucha fell to her knees with a plop.

"Your Majesty, I was just confused for a moment! Please forgive me!"

The queen smiled gently and asked, "What happened? What makes you so flustered?"

Noble Lady Fucha's eyes were red, and she choked up and said, "I was confused for a moment, and I was jealous of Concubine Hua's pregnancy, so I put musk in the potted tiger skin orchid I gave to Concubine Hua..."

"How dare you!" The Queen slammed the table, heartbroken, "How could you do such a heinous thing!"

Noble Lady Fucha looked at the Queen pleadingly.

"Your Highness, I know I was wrong! I will never do it again. Please forgive me, Your Highness!"

Noble Lady Fucha's repeated apologies made the Queen even more uneasy.

She glanced at the emperor secretly and found that his face was so dark that water seemed to be wrung out of it.

"Peace and tranquility in the harem are the most precious. You actually did something so evil and immoral. How can I forgive you?"

After saying this, the queen quickly glanced at the emperor.

The emperor took a sip of wine, looked at the queen coldly, and still said nothing.

The queen could only bite the bullet and say, "This matter concerns Concubine Hua and the heir to the throne. Your Majesty, please make the decision."

Dealing with the affairs of Noble Lady Fucha was a thankless task and she didn't want to do it.

Upon hearing this, the emperor slammed the wine glass heavily on the table.

Noble Lady Fucha was trembling with fear, with her head pressed to the ground, not daring to move at all.

"I want to hear the Queen's opinion."

The queen looked embarrassed.

"It is difficult for me to make the decision. After all, we are all sisters in the palace."

The emperor snorted coldly, "The queen is kind-hearted."

He stood up, walked to Noble Lady Fucha, and kicked her down!

All this happened almost in an instant. The Empress and Noble Lady Fucha were caught off guard and were so frightened that they dared not breathe.

The palace maids and eunuchs serving him all knelt down and shouted, "Your Majesty, please calm down."

"Fu Cha is so evil that she dared to poison Concubine Hua. She deserves death for this crime!"

Noble Lady Fucha widened her eyes and looked at the man standing in front of her in disbelief.

The emperor was unwilling to look at her again. "Come here, take Noble Lady Fucha to the Ministry of Punishment and have her beaten to death!"

"Your Majesty, you have such a cruel heart!"

Noble Lady Fucha reacted and hugged the emperor's legs desperately.

The queen turned pale from her shocked thoughts and looked at the guard at the door.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and drag Noble Fucha away!"

The guards reacted quickly, rushing over and prying Noble Lady Fucha's hands away from the emperor's legs.

"Queen, Queen, save me!"

Noble Lady Fucha looked at the Queen in despair. The Queen hurriedly avoided her gaze. There was a flash of panic in her eyes, but her tone was extremely calm.

"If you do something wrong, you must know how to repent! Will the Fucha clan be humiliated because of you?"

"Empress, please save me!" Noble Lady Fucha burst into tears.

Su Peisheng frowned and looked at the guards, "How can the emperor eat with so much noise?"

Seeing that the emperor had a grim expression, the leader of the guards raised his hand and knocked Noble Lady Fucha unconscious, then quickly dragged her away.

Jingren Palace returned to silence, and the Queen smiled and served the Emperor half a bowl of soup.

"Your Majesty, please have some hot soup."

"Snapped!"

The emperor flicked his sleeve and knocked the soup bowl out of the queen's hand. His voice was as cold as ice.

"I've drunk it!"
