Emperor Chu wanted to investigate the matter thoroughly, so the people under him naturally worked hard. Early the next morning, the results of the investigation were put on Emperor Chu's desk.

"Concubine Teng did this?" Emperor Chu couldn't believe that Concubine Teng, who was always straightforward and ignorant of twists and turns, would do such a thing.Concubine Teng is the princess of Teng Kingdom, a state affiliated to Dachu. She is beautiful and charming, with a bit of toughness unique to foreign women.

When Concubine Teng first entered the palace, because she was completely different from the weak and timid women that Emperor Chu had seen before, Emperor Chu was also fresh for a while, but Emperor Chu was never a long-term lover. Concubine Teng got bored and left her aside, leaving her alone in the empty palace.Concubine Teng fell out of favor and became a married princess again. She had no foundation in Chu State, and gradually became an invisible person.

Later, Emperor Chu had Xu Meiren, a high-ranking court lady, concubine Wangui, concubine Wan, concubine Wei, and son Taoyao.Although there are many people who are favored by Emperor Chu, there are not many people with rank titles. There are many people in the palace who have titles but no rank like Mr. Taoyao.

Emperor Chu likes the new and dislikes the old, and the speed of changing his pillow is extremely fast. It can be said that Mr. Taoyao is the one who has monopolized the emperor's favor for the longest time, and is also the one with the most humble status, and he is very unpopular with other concubines.

Among them, Concubine Teng dislikes Mr. Taoyao especially, and her dislike for Mr. Taoyao is not due to his humble background, but because of his demeanor.Concubine Teng is a woman who is good at riding and shooting, and Teng Guo is known as all soldiers. Concubine Teng has always admired brave men the most. Naturally, a man of color like Mr. Taoyao scoffed at her.

Concubine Teng's attitude towards Young Master Taoyao was no secret in the palace, and Emperor Chu knew it well.

If it was said that Concubine Teng would beat Master Taoyao because she didn't like her, Emperor Chu would believe it.But to ask her to go around in such a big circle, murdering Young Master Taoyao and blaming Concubine Wei, Emperor Chu didn't believe it.

He doesn't believe it, but some people want him to believe it.

When Master Taoyao got the news, he rushed to Emperor Chu's palace immediately, and complained in front of Emperor Chu with snot and tears: "A Ru knows that I am humble, and it is a great blessing to have the opportunity to serve the emperor. It never occurred to Ru that she would obstruct the eyes of others. A Ru was admiring the flowers in the garden, but Concubine Wei's dog rushed towards A Ru without asking any questions... A Ru was really scared, so she came to ask His Majesty I didn’t expect that she would blame Concubine Wei by mistake... A Ru, how about A Ru go and apologize to Concubine Wei? Your Majesty, can you not be angry with A Ru?”

Young Master Taoyao doesn't want to try the wrath of the king at all.The other concubines in the palace lost their favor and had family background or one or two things to rely on, but he alone, without the holy family, has nothing!Not only that, how glorious he was before, how miserable he will be in the future!Those who have formed a relationship with him will never let him go!

The Emperor Chu saw that he lowered his head, only his white jade-like neck was exposed, and he looked very pitiful, as if he would not be able to survive in this cruel palace if he did not protect him, so he couldn't help feeling a little pity.Most of the original doubts and anger disappeared in an instant.

"You really didn't plan this matter?" Although he had a bias in his heart, Emperor Chu still asked one more question.

"Your Majesty, in your eyes, is A-Ru such an unscrupulous person?" Young Master Taoyao bit his lower lip and said tremblingly, "A-Ru dislikes Concubine Wei because he serves His Majesty disrespectfully. In A Ru's heart, His Majesty is a god, and no one can neglect His Majesty. A Ru admits that he wants to make Concubine Wei suffer a little bit, and he will behave better to His Majesty in the future, but he will never use such low-handed means to frame her. He, His Majesty may not know, at the moment when the dog rushed towards A Ru, A Ru really thought that he would never see His Majesty again."

As he said that, he showed his two arms, and saw that the two arms were wrapped with thin and dense gauze, and there were still blood stains oozing out, which showed that they looked miserable.

Due to the investigation results of his subordinates, Emperor Chu already believed a little bit what Mr. Taoyao said, but now, seeing that he was seriously injured, he didn't seem to be a fake, so he believed a little bit more.The only doubt fell on Concubine Teng's character.

Seeing Emperor Chu's expression, Mr. Taoyao knew that the matter was about to be resolved.As long as Emperor Chu's attention was diverted to others, he would not need to apologize to Concubine Wei, after all, he was also a victim and kept in the dark!

Concubine Wan Guifei did what Young Master Taoyao failed to accomplish, and she quickly dispelled the last trace of doubt in his heart for Emperor Chu.She held an exquisite porcelain bottle in her Xianxian hand: "Cousin, look, this is the medicine that Concubine Teng gave to Concubine Teng when she was unwell. However, I am also very grateful for Concubine Teng's heart to donate the medicine. Unexpectedly, yesterday the cat raised in the palace was naughty and knocked over the bottle of medicine. The cat went crazy on the spot, and the concubine noticed it Something is wrong."

Imperial Concubine Wan is delicate and timid, her beautiful eyes are sad, and she is also the cousin who grew up with Emperor Chu since she was a child. Seeing that she has suffered such a great grievance, Emperor Chu naturally felt sorry for her: "Concubine Teng is really hateful, if it is not You tell me, I would never have thought that she would be so vicious!"

Concubine Wan wiped her tears and leaned against Emperor Chu's arms: "At first, the concubine also thought that Concubine Teng was a kind person, but her temper was a bit more straightforward, and she lacked some of the cultivation of our noble daughters of Chu. They are all sisters. Yes, how could the concubine care about her on weekdays? I never thought that Concubine Teng would be so vicious that she would destroy the concubine! The concubine was really afraid..."

Emperor Chu said coldly: "Don't be afraid, Wan'er, with me here, no one will dare to harm you!"

Concubine Wan stopped her tears and smiled slowly at Emperor Chu. Her appearance seemed to be heartbreaking and she pretended to be strong: "With my cousin here, Wan'er is not afraid of anything. However, Wan'er suddenly remembered something. Master Taoyao's imperial garden was attacked by dogs, could it be that Concubine Teng was responsible for it too? After all, the medicine..." Concubine Wangui hesitated to speak.

"It must be so!" Emperor Chu said angrily: "It's a pity that I still doubted whether I wronged her when I found out the truth. She is really a poisonous woman! This time, she fooled me so much and even murdered Wan'er. I will never forgive her." she!"

Concubine Wangui, as a victim, received consolation and rewards from Emperor Chu. Concubine Wei, as the person implicated, also received a few words of consolation from Emperor Chu. He didn't receive any punishment, but he was sympathized by Emperor Chu.All the anger was vented on Concubine Teng by Emperor Chu.

Concubine Teng hadn't been able to defend herself, she was even downgraded, became a concubine of Teng, and was ordered to stay in the palace. People's potions have killed one after another in the palace, what are the people of Teng country trying to do!

Xi Ruier didn't expect that a small matter in his eyes would snowball into bigger and bigger things.

As a newcomer, he didn't get any information, so he was made things difficult by Mr. Taoyao. He originally thought that this was a play directed and acted by Mr. Taoyao, with the purpose of being jealous.Now it seems that it is not that simple.

Although Mr. Taoyao is now the only one who has won the holy favor, he has only entered the palace not long after all, and his foundation is still shallow.If it was said that he had any ability to interfere with Emperor Chu's investigation results, Xi Ruier would not believe it.

Xi Ruier didn't know who exactly the investigation results of Emperor Chu pointed to, but in his opinion, Emperor Chu's cousin, Concubine Wan, was very problematic.Doesn't show up sooner or later, but just showed up at this juncture, saying that Concubine Teng poisoned her with medicine, and that medicine would make people and animals unconscious... No matter how you look at it, it seems that you are eager to find a culprit.

However, Emperor Chu trusted Concubine Wan very much, but he didn't realize this.Just like convicting Concubine Wei without asking indiscriminately, at this moment, he also determined that Concubine Teng was the culprit without further investigation.

If it is said that Mr. Taoyao is currently the most beloved person of the Chu Emperor, then Wan Guifei is the most trusted person of the Chu Emperor.

Although Concubine Wan's appearance is only above average, she has no stunning beauty, nor is she favored by the emperor, but relying on the trust of Emperor Chu, she firmly occupies a place in the palace.

Xi Ruier didn't know whether Concubine Teng had intervened in this matter, but he could see clearly that Concubine Wan could never be innocent!

"My lord, I don't know if I should say something or not." The servant who was brought in from General Wei's mansion when Wei Lingxi entered the palace hesitated to speak.

"Say. I'm not afraid to know more now, but I'm afraid I don't know enough." In this man-eating place, if you don't know anything, you may not even know how to die in the future.

"The elder brother of Concubine Wan was the chief culprit who annoyed the Yi people at the border and led to the large-scale invasion of the Yi people."

Cyril's men paused.

In other words, Concubine Wan's family still has a grudge against him for killing his father and brother?After all, if it weren't for the cronies sent by Emperor Chu, the war would not have started and the city would not have been lost.Later, Wei Lingxi's father and brother were ordered to fight against foreign enemies when they were in danger. If the army's supplies had not been embezzled, they would not have died in battle.

Xi Ruier learned about Emperor Chu's connivance and protection of his cronies from the mouth of the servant - this is also the reason why Concubine Yuan Wei hated Emperor Chu in her heart, but she didn't know that the cronies that Emperor Chu indulged were actually Wan The concubine's brother!

Concubine Wan comes from Emperor Chu's mother clan, so it's no wonder that Emperor Chu trusts the siblings so much!

As long as Xi Ruier thinks of the two brothers and sisters, one who blows pillows in the inner palace can win a favorable situation at any time; If he didn't get any punishment, he couldn't help being angry.

He knew that the anger in his heart belonged to the original Wei Lingxi.Even if his father and brother received such great honor after death, Wei Lingxi would rather they live a good life, even if it is a more ordinary life.

The death of General Wei and the two young generals was enough to cause Wei Lingxi and Concubine Wan to have an enmity.Not to mention, as a member of the harem, Concubine Wan was not very friendly to Wei Lingxi.He was not surprised that Concubine Wan would seize the opportunity to attack him.

No matter what, he will never let anyone who dares to harm him!It's not that easy to get away with it!

Xi Ruier thought for a while, and said to the boy: "Find a way to spread the words of Emperor Chu out of the palace."

As a big man, Emperor Chu naturally couldn't stare at the harem all day long. Now the power in charge of palace affairs is in the hands of Concubine Wan.Although Concubine Wan has a deep scheming mind, her ability to manage the affairs of the palace is a bit weak. It is not difficult to spread these words.

The young servant was carefully selected by the Wei family when Wei Lingxi entered the palace, and he had his own merits, so he made a promise and left in a hurry.

Within a few days, Emperor Chu received a protest from the envoys of the Teng Kingdom, saying that the Teng Kingdom was very sincere and sent the princess to the Chu Kingdom for marriage. Hat, not even a chance to argue!Not only that, but the entire Fuji country was also suspected!Fujikuni couldn't swallow this breath!Even if Tengguo is a vassal state of Dachu, it is not easy to be bullied!Emperor Chu must give Teng Guo an explanation for this matter!

Emperor Chu's head was getting bigger, and he couldn't understand the fierceness of the people of Teng country.The relationship between each other was eased through the way of getting married. Unexpectedly, after a few years, it began to be uneasy again.

Everyone has already been punished, so he can't let him slap himself in the face.What's more, according to the results of his investigation, it was indeed Concubine Teng who did the harm.Emperor Chu thought for a while, why don't he just show the evidence and the bottle of medicine that Concubine Wan was in to the people of Teng country, so as not to say that he falsely accused their princess!

In the harem, Concubine Wan was startled when she heard Emperor Chu's idea, "Your Majesty, this is clearly an internal matter of my Great Chu Palace, how can I let outsiders know! Teng Kingdom is just a vassal state of Great Chu, so the Being aggressive, could it be that you want to meddle in my Dachu's internal affairs?"

Emperor Chu thought about it, and it made sense: "This matter, after all, involves the relationship between the two countries, so it is not good to act rashly."

Seeing that Emperor Chu was moved a little by what she said, Concubine Wangui became a little more confident: "In my opinion, the people of Tengguo clearly want to find an excuse to interfere in our Great Chu's internal affairs and force you to make concessions. It's just a Why are you afraid of him, a small vassal country? If you can defeat the people of Fuji country once, you can defeat them for the second time and the third time, so that they will know who the real master is now!"

"That's true. However, General Wei, who used to scare the people of Teng Country, is no longer here. I'm afraid he can't suppress them." Emperor Chu showed a worried expression.

"What's so difficult about this? What the people of Tengguo fear the most is the Wei family army. As long as the Wei family army is there, it must be easy to take down Tengguo!" Concubine Wangui pursed her lips and smiled: "Cousin, General Wei is no longer here. Now, the Wei family army can’t be leaderless, so why don’t you put this group of people under your brother’s name. With the Wei family army in hand, your brother will definitely be able to defend you against foreign enemies and beat the people of Teng country to death!”

At that time, the power of their family will rise to a higher level!

Emperor Chu also felt itchy in his heart when he heard it. He always felt that he didn't have enough military power. If he could take back the military power of the Wei family and hand it over to a trusted foreign family, it would be a great thing for him. !

However, every loyal and brave person has his own temper.The Wei Family Army is not so easy to recruit.

After thinking for a while, Emperor Chu prepared to go to Concubine Wei.Unexpectedly, Emperor Chu had just entered Zhaoyang Palace when he was told that Concubine Wei was going to pay respects to the Buddha in the Small Buddha Hall and pray for her deceased father and brother. She had to recite scriptures for 49 days on July [-] before she could come out, otherwise she was not sincere enough.

49th!

If it were someone else, Emperor Chu would have dragged him out of the Buddhist hall long ago.No matter what you are doing, if you are not there when the emperor wants to see you, you will be damned!

However, concubine Wei was different, and Emperor Chu still had some thoughts about the Wei family army in his heart, so he naturally didn't want to act rudely.

Having said that, he couldn't wait for these 49 days. If he really had to wait until Concubine Wei came out after praying for blessings before discussing with him, the day lily would be cold!

Mr. Taoyao, who was serving Emperor Chu, did not know anything about it. He only knew that Emperor Chu went to look for Concubine Wei but found no one. Big, not as big as you! If you want to talk to Concubine Wei, just go in and see him, maybe he can drive you away!"

"Concubine Wei is a loyal minister, and after a loyal minister, she should be loyal to the emperor, love the country, and share the worries of the emperor. If she can't even do this, what use is she!"

The words of Mr. Taoyao can be said to have touched the heart of Emperor Chu.That's right, since he is the queen of loyalty, Concubine Wei must be a loyal one. It's fitting that Concubine Wei would offer it to him as an emperor, so why should he feel that he needs to ask Concubine Wei?

Thinking of this, Emperor Chu took Young Master Taoyao and forcefully broke into the Buddhist hall.

Under the futon of the Buddha statue, a person was twisting a rosary with his eyes closed.Hearing the commotion outside, he opened his eyes, and without waiting for Emperor Chu to speak to Young Master Taoyao, he said coldly: "I thought you had changed, but I didn't expect that your nature is still hard to change! Last time you came to Zhaoyang Palace to harm Me, this time, are you here to harm His Majesty?"

Xi Ruier's stern voice suppressed Mr. Taoyao's aura as soon as he came up, making him fall into a passive position.

Young Master Taoyao was stunned, and said angrily: "Don't spout blood, when have I ever hurt His Majesty! It's you, who avoids His Majesty, what are you trying to do, Concubine Wei?"

Xi Ruier didn't seem to have any nature to quarrel with Mr. Taoyao today, but said to Emperor Chu: "Your Majesty, you know that you are about to face a catastrophe! There are powerful enemies outside, and villains inside, if you let the villain succeed, the country will be destroyed." It's dangerous!"

Young Master Taoyao naturally heard that the villain was referring to him, and immediately said angrily: "Concubine Wei, don't talk nonsense, Your Majesty is very good, how dare you curse Your Majesty, you are really tired of work!"

Cyril glanced at him contemptuously: "Shut up, ignorant idiot. Since you don't understand these things, how dare you encourage His Majesty to make such a decision! In order to show your face in front of His Majesty, you pretend to understand and ignore the overall situation , really deserve death! I thought that after the incident last time, you should stop for a while, but who knows, you made trouble again! You were like this last time. You didn’t understand anything, so you came to question me. Afterwards No remorse, no awareness of your own mistakes, shameless shame! This time, it’s like this again, you don’t know anything about state affairs, but you come to me and talk nonsense in front of me! Afterwards, don’t you just say a few pitiful words to His Majesty, and then Can you write it off? You really are a lowly person who can't get on the stage!"

Xi Ruier's words can be said to put the face of Mr. Taoyao on the ground.Last time, Young Master Taoyao provoked him like that, and he was very unhappy that he could not be punished accordingly.Unexpectedly, Mr. Taoyao forgot the pain when his scar healed, and this time, he slammed into his hand again!Since Mr. Taoyao is shameless, and since Emperor Chu can only hold it high and put it down gently, then he will do it himself!No one can get out of his body after shouting at him!

Young Master Taoyao was mercilessly insulted by Xi Ruier in front of Emperor Chu, his heart was full of embarrassment, he couldn't help but turned to Emperor Chu, asking for help: "Your Majesty..."

"Put down your face, you have treated your superiors as inhumane last time, so is it possible that you want to trap your superiors in an unrighteous way this time? I have no right to intervene when I am talking to you!"

Emperor Chu thought for a while, Master Taoyao really didn't know anything about the situation in the court, and Concubine Wei was not wrong.Young Master Taoyao has been thinking all day long about keeping things out of Concubine Wei, and letting him intervene does not do any good, it will only make things worse.Thinking that Mr. Taoyao knew that Concubine Wei hated him and insisted on following him, Emperor Chu became a little displeased with him, thinking that Mr. Taoyao was here to spoil him.

"A few days ago you made a mistake and blamed Concubine Wei. I didn't have time to apologize to Concubine Wei. I felt very sorry. Since you followed me today, it's time to make up for your guilt! Go to the steps and kneel by yourself. When Concubine Wei talks about it, you can get up again. "

"Your Majesty!"

"Why, you don't even listen to what I say?" Emperor Chu has never been a good-tempered person, and he will be patient with Concubine Wei because he has plans, but what is Mr. Taoyao, he dares to disobey him!

Seeing Emperor Chu's eyes were stern, Mr. Taoyao didn't dare to say anything, and went to kneel down obediently.In his heart, he hated Concubine Wei.

It has always been like this, he stands and he kneels, he is high above, but he is low in the dust.They are all servants of Israel, why!

Emperor Chu and Xi Ruier naturally wouldn't take care of Mr. Taoyao, they focused on other things.

Emperor Chu cleared his throat, and was about to speak when Xi Ruier stopped him: "Your Majesty, please go back, I will not agree to your request."

When Emperor Chu saw that Xi Ruier didn't give him face, his face sank: "Concubine Wei, you should know what is enough. If you don't like Xiang Ru, I will punish him for you. You scolded him, but I didn't say anything." .If you make more trouble, it will be over!"

Xi Rui said calmly: "Does Your Majesty think that what I said just now was just to annoy you?"

'Is not it? 'Although Emperor Chu didn't say it, his eyes were full of these words.

"Your Majesty, I don't know why you want to fight against Fujikuni, and I don't know who made you think about it. I can only say that the person who encouraged you to go to war is extremely ignorant! Da Chu and The fighting of the Yi people has just stopped, and there is still a city still in the hands of the Yi people. The national strength cannot withstand the loss of years of war! If the war with the Teng country is a battle of dignity, it is inevitable, so it’s fine, but the Great Chu and the The conflict between the Fuji countries originally stemmed from a misunderstanding, and the person who persuaded you didn't think about resolving the misunderstanding and reducing the loss, but instead urged you to intensify the conflict, it is simply absurd!"

He wants to clean up Mr. Taoyao, but this time, Concubine Wan will not even think about getting out of her body.Anyway, this woman wasn't innocent at all, and Cyril didn't feel any guilt about dealing with her.
