After being forced to marry the prince

The current state of the emperor is almost exhausted, and everyone in the court knows that the next day is only a matter of time.

Now that he suddenly woke up and wanted to summon Chu Wu, everyone was surprised and happy, thinking that the emperor had recovered just like the previous few times.

But Chu Wu knew that it was just a reflection of the light.

During the time when the emperor was asleep, he should have been unconscious, but it seemed that he knew something in the dark, or that someone told him something during his waking hours, which made him decide to stay awake during the last waking time. , Seeing myself, a child who wished to be put to death.

Seeing Chu Wu beside the dragon couch, the emperor's cloudy eyes carried a sense of inquiry, and there was no reluctance or exhortation between father and son when he was dying, and the emperor's tone was questioning:

"Do you know about the rumors about me taking poison?"

Chu Wu was not surprised that the emperor questioned himself, and the emperor pushed himself to judge others. He hated Chu Wu, and felt that if anyone in the palace had ulterior motives, it must be Chu Wu.

Chu Wu shook his head, but did not open his mouth. Eunuch Xiao came over with a medicine bowl. As usual, Chu Wu would have taken it and served the decoction himself, but at this time, it was probably because of the tea poisoning incident before, so he just turned around and moved away. After a while, he lowered his eyes and remained silent.

Although the emperor said he was in better spirits, he still couldn't drink the soup. He just looked at Chu Wu straightly, inexplicably, and suddenly remembered how Chu Wu was quietly making tea in front of his knees.

"Ah Jiu, do you resent me?"

Chu Wu seemed a little surprised that he would ask such a question, raised his eyes to look at the emperor, then quickly lowered his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Father is too worried."

I have never had hope, so how can I talk about the word "hate"?At most, it's just a grudge!

The emperor looked at him as if he was about to die, and suddenly wanted to let go of something, and said: "You have a vicious mind, and you murdered my long heart, and I didn't take your life."

Chu Wu seemed a little funny, but his tone was still flat. He glanced at the only outsider in the room, and before Eunuch Xiao stepped back, he said:

"Father, is the potted flower in your tent dead?"

Before the emperor could respond, Eunuch Xiao suddenly looked up at him in surprise, obviously it was exactly what he said.

Chu Wu continued: "The flower will die because I secretly poured the poisoned tea in it on the first day, so what the father and queen came to drink is not poisonous."

"You..." The emperor's eyes widened, looking at him in disbelief, "What do you mean by that?"

What Chu Wuyan meant was clearly that if he hadn't exchanged that bowl of tea, then it would not be Long Xin who died, but him.

"Father probably doesn't know!" Unlike the emperor and Eunuch Xiao's astonishment, Chu Wu spoke slowly, like a gurgling stream, with a calming magic power, "I am good at medicine, and naturally know poison. One day when the poison was put into the tea, I saw it, and I didn't dare to say anything, so I could only pour it into the pot of flowers."

Eunuch Xiao endured it for a while, and finally couldn't hold back and said, "King Ke... Since His Highness the Ninth Prince knows, why didn't you say it?"

"Who likes to be wronged?" Chu Wudao said, "It's just that, if you want to come to the father-in-law, you can imagine it. At most, it's just multiple charges of framing the princess?"

"You..." The emperor wanted to reprimand him for talking nonsense, but found that there was nothing to say, what Chu Wu said was indeed the truth.

"Since you know that the potted flower is dead, you should be able to guess that I didn't poison it. After all, even if I don't know how to heal, I shouldn't be so stupid as to leave such an obvious evidence. But your Majesty didn't investigate because of Long Xin Dead, His Majesty is unhappy, so someone needs to bear this anger."

The emperor listened to his Majesty one by one, as if he was an unrelated stranger.Maybe his body functions have come to a close, and he couldn't get angry at all. He just thought in a daze that all these years, he hated this son, and gave him the glory and wealth that a prince should enjoy with a superior attitude, but he didn't He wondered if this child, whom he had hated for more than ten years, longed for these things.

The emperor wobbled back to his senses, looked at Chu Wu with an indifferent expression, and suddenly felt some unreasonable anger in his heart. This son seemed to have never been under his control:

"Chu Wu, what do you want to say? Could it be that Long Xin did this poison herself?"

"She did it, Your Majesty." Chu Wu raised his eyes to look at him, his expression was cold, and he spoke clearly and slowly, "There is poison in the hollowed-out ball on her bracelet, and taking the opportunity of serving tea, Long Xin It was easy enough to soak that little ball in the tea, and hardly noticeable, because..."

He paused, and simply and neatly laid out the truth that the emperor had been avoiding all this time, "If something happens to your Majesty while drinking tea, most people will only suspect me. This is a very clever frame-up method. After all, if you want to Your Majesty also remembers that Longxin was very obedient that day, especially when serving tea to His Majesty, she was also the only person who touched the teacup besides me."

Eunuch Xiao was shocked, he could hardly hold the medicine bowl in his hand, the emperor was even more anxious, he could barely catch his breath, raised his finger to Chu Wu, and said angrily intermittently: "Nonsense, Longxin is my favorite daughter, How could she... possibly harm me?"

This truth is too cruel, to the emperor, it is even crueler than seeing Longxin die with his own eyes, he can't accept it no matter what, the daughter he loves with all his heart will hurt him several times.This kind of frustration seemed to negate the only sincerity he had in the first half of his life.

The emperor's eyes turned white, and he almost lost his breath. Eunuch Xiao hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him. Chu Wu lowered his eyes and said nothing, and was about to leave when he heard the emperor, who had regained his breath, suddenly struggled to get up and raised his hand. Pointing at Chu Wu tremblingly, he said:

"I'll ask you again, if you are really good at Qihuang, is my illness poisonous?"

After asking this sentence, the emperor lay back on the bed again, panting heavily.

This time Chu Wu did not deny it, he nodded, he even sat down on the round stool in front of the bed, took out the elixir that the emperor used to eat from the small plate next to it, crushed it little by little, and spread it on the palm of his hand for the emperor to see :

"In this elixir, there is a poison Zhisuzi."

When Mr. Xiao heard the words, he suddenly fell to his knees and asked in disbelief:

"His Highness Nine means that the elixir used by His Majesty has been poisoned?"

"This alone can't be regarded as poison." Chu Wu turned to the emperor and said slowly, "Is there a pot of strange plants in the imperial concubine's bedroom, with greenish purple leaves, blue-green flowers, and seven-layered petals?" , very beautiful."

Although it was a question, Chu Wuyong's tone seemed to be affirmative. Although he had never been to the imperial concubine's palace, it was as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

"Yes... there is such a pot." Realizing what Chu Wu wanted to say next, Mr. Xiao couldn't speak clearly, and his lips trembled, "This flower...what's wrong with the flower?"
