Those Years Being Exploited by the Emperor [Crossing Books]

As soon as He Yan finished speaking, Shen Chu and Xie Yinge both gasped.

"It's really a vicious and cautious plan." Xie Yinge was silent for a while, and finally said in a low voice.

Yeah, be careful and thoughtful.No one would think there was any problem with such a slow poisoning at the beginning, even the imperial physician would at most think that the medicine was too heavy, and would not think it was a problem of black grass.It might be too late to see a clue until someone is dead.

"Such a slow poisoning, is there any sign when the poison is dead?" Shen Chu suddenly remembered what the queen said at that time.

"Although there are signs, but the amount is so small that it is difficult for ordinary people to see the clues." He Yan replied after putting away the things in the paper bag.

"When I was in the Zichen Palace today, the queen said that as soon as she went to listen to Yuxuan, she found that Qiao Guiren had died of poisoning..." Shen Chu became more determined in his conjecture when he recalled it.I just don't know how Yipin guessed it when she didn't know anything.

"You mean... the empress did this? Am I right?" Xie Yinge's thoughts wandered, and he quickly guessed what Shen Chu was thinking.

"Why...why is it the queen's doing?" He Yan obviously didn't react, and stared at the two people in front of him in a daze.

Xie Yinge let out a long sigh with a look of resentment, "You, you! I'm going to be so stupid to you, uncle!"

He Yan said that he still doesn't know why he was scolded.

"However...the Queen's motive for doing this..." Shen Chu could roughly guess, but his train of thought was not complete.There are a few things that he doesn't quite understand.

"According to my guess...the empress is planning to kill two birds with one stone." Xie Yinge spoke slowly, explaining word by word while organizing his thoughts. "She wants to raise the Ninth Prince and frame Concubine Shu by the way."

"But hasn't the Queen already raised King Su? Why bother to raise the Ninth Prince?" He Yan was the first to react.

"Didn't Madam Yi say that the water in King Su's courtyard is too turbid, and the empress wants to change the water in Jingfu Palace." Hearing what Xie Yinge said, Shen Chu probably understood the empress's purpose.

Recently, King Su has become more and more depressed because of things he has thought about.King Su was originally a not-so-intelligent but small-hearted person. After he was punished and thought about it, he didn’t feel that the emperor was protecting him. Instead, he felt that the emperor had abandoned him. He drank and courted prostitutes in King Su’s mansion every day. He didn’t look like a prince at all. .

The Queen and Su Wang are not biological mothers and children, and Su Wang's power is mostly brought by the Queen's mother's family.Support a King Su who doesn't seek to make progress, and don't support a Ninth Prince who is sensible and obedient and easy to control.Coupled with the fact that King Su had acted arbitrarily several times before, the Queen had already given up on him in her heart.

So the queen poisoned Qiao Guiren secretly, and then planted it on Shu Guifei with the help of the grievances between Shu Guifei and Qiao Guiren.Even if Concubine Shu cannot be pulled down, it can shake Concubine Shu's position in the emperor's heart a bit.

In this way, the Ninth Prince is so young without his biological mother, and Concubine Shu Gui is the murderer who killed the Ninth Prince's biological mother, so the Ninth Prince will definitely fall into the Queen's hands.

"Then it seems that I have been taken advantage of." Shen Chu wanted to understand the joints, and sighed slightly in his heart.

"Indeed." Xie Yinge had been standing and talking, but now he figured it out and slowly sat down on the chair. "The queen was listening to Yuxuan and thought there must be someone there. Hearing that you sent the snacks, she naturally took advantage of it. You are the companion of King Wu, so naturally you should stand in King Wu's camp."

It was only at this time that He Yan understood the cause and effect, and smiled warmly after hearing Xie Yinge's words, "Who would have known that you are on good terms with His Royal Highness the King of Chu?"

Shen Chu smiled slightly, but felt bitter in his heart.Whoever made him time travel is a villain, the hero is a born winner, so I can only hug his thigh.

"However... After this incident, I'm afraid no one will know that you are His Highness King Chu's." He Yan looked into Shen Chu's eyes and said very seriously.

Shen Chu was slightly taken aback.

This matter obviously had nothing to do with Xiao Yu, if he didn't go, it would have nothing to do with him.But this person went anyway, and took the risk to pick him out first.

From then on, even if Shen Yanchu was not from the King Chu's camp, no one would believe him when he said it.

But Shen Chu can't take this issue into consideration for the time being.

The snow outside is getting heavier and heavier, and the whole sky is gloomy and gray.

Although the matter was figured out, how to explain it to Xiao Yu became the most difficult part.These things were all pieced together based on Yipin's hints and subtle clues, and there was no evidence at all to prove that it was the queen's doing.Just because there were raw black weeds in the leftover medicine dregs that Mrs. Qiao drank could not prove Xiao Yu's innocence, so Xiao Yu could only be framed.

The only evidences that can be found are the prescriptions from the Tai Hospital, leftover medicine dregs, and leftover snacks, and there is nothing that can be used as evidence for the rest of the joints.And the only court lady Yu'er who can tamper with Mrs. Qiao's diet and daily life is also in the queen's hands.

"No!" Shen Chu always felt that there was something wrong, and it seemed that some details were not included, so they couldn't find out.

"Huh?" Xie Yinge looked up at him.

"I heard that Mrs. Qiao Gui has some medical skills. Didn't she notice that there were too many black grass in the soup? Even if she didn't notice, the raw black grass in the snack can kill people, didn't she notice it? "Shen Chu suddenly found a breakthrough.

"You mean..." Xie Yinge's eyes became extremely serious. "Mr. Qiao Gui ate the dim sum containing raw black grass, and she also drank too much soup of raw black grass. She knew it was sex, but she still drank it?"

"Ten chances." Shen Chu reasoned for the first time, but he was not completely sure.

"Then I'll take He Yan to investigate nobleman Qiao's relatives outside the palace." Xie Yinge stood up abruptly. "Qiao Guiren was probably threatened by the queen, so he had no choice but to commit suicide by taking poison. If you can find out Qiao Guiren's relatives, I think there will be some gains."

"Isn't King Su still thinking about it?" He Yan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "He doesn't have a lot of information, why don't I give him some information."

Shen Chu secretly sighed in his heart.Can Xiao Yu not succeed in seizing the heir?Look at all the people around you, they are all good people, how can the two idiots Su Wang and Wu Wang win?

After saying that they were leaving, the two hurried out of the palace to investigate, leaving Shen Chu alone in Wenfeng Pavilion waiting for the results of Zichen Palace.

After all, Xiao Yu is a prince. In this feudal society, he is more expensive than a concubine. Even if he is charged with a crime by the queen, he should not be executed.By clearing his grievances for him, Xiao Yu is helping Concubine Shu. Concubine Shu is an old fox in the palace for many years, and she will also help Xiao Yu for her own sake.

And Xiao Yu is the hero after all, with the halo of the hero, it is impossible for something to go wrong at this time.

Shen Chu comforted himself desperately, but such comfort could not conceal his nervousness.

The snow outside the door gradually became smaller, and the snowflakes were not as big as before, floating slowly in mid-air, which was very much like Shen Chu's mood at this time.

At a loss, I don't know what to do.

The dark clouds in the sky gradually turned into a faint red. It was getting late and night had already begun.The red palace wall outside seemed to be stained with blood, and it was shockingly red.Shen Chu stood at the door of the house waiting for news from Xiao Luzi.

After about half an hour, it was completely dark, and only then did I see Xiao Luzi running in from the far door in a hurry.

It was snowing outside, but Xiao Luzi's forehead was covered with sweat.

"How is your Highness?" Shen Chu didn't even bother to let Xiao Luzi into the house, and asked him while pulling him at the door.

"Your Highness...Hoo...Your Highness, he...the emperor ordered him to kneel outside Zichen Palace!" Xiao Luzi ran all the way over, out of breath, unable to speak clearly.

"Punish to kneel? Why was he punished to kneel?" Even if Xiao Yu was really convicted, it was impossible for him to be punished to kneel. It should be punishment and remorse.How can you kneel as a punishment!It's still snowing outside in this winter, how can you be punished to kneel!

"How can a slave find out about the Zichen Palace?" Xiao Luzi lowered his head and blamed himself, "But after inquiring outside, it seems that there is no evidence to clear His Highness's innocence, and His Majesty probably wants to calm things down."

"Then what?" Shen Chu can probably figure it out. If there is really no evidence, and this matter is a bit strange, the emperor might really handle it lightly. After all, he is a little nobleman he doesn't like, and he was born as a court lady. How big a storm can be set off.

"Your Highness naturally didn't want to have stains on his body, so he had an argument with His Majesty. His Majesty was so angry that he couldn't speak, so he left with a flick of his sleeves, and asked His Highness to kneel in front of Zichen Palace!" Xiao Luzi was probably too flustered, He spoke quickly and urgently, so anxious that sweat broke out on Shen Chu's forehead.

This Xiao Yu...why didn't he know how to be more tactful at this time, at least take it easy for a while, how could he directly confront the emperor!

"Did Lady Yi know about this? Did she say anything?" Shen Chu only thought of Yipin at this time.

Yipin is Xie Yinge's elder sister and the smartest woman in the capital, so she must have some ideas.

"I'm afraid... I don't know." Xiao Luzi hesitated. "When the servant came back, he saw His Majesty's guard of honor heading towards the Lama Temple. The servant who guarded the gate said that His Majesty was very angry when he came out, and he was afraid that he would blame Concubine Yi."

Hearing this, Shen Chu felt a little more at ease.If the emperor was really angry, he wouldn't have gone to see Yipin.Instead, deal with their mother and son directly.

In Emperor Xiao Qi's heart, Concubine Yi is the most important thing. If the Queen gets angry and says something bad about Concubine Yi, then there will be a good show.

Although Concubine Yi's departure from Yanqing Palace was low-key, it was enough to shock the world when a woman who had been in the cold palace for nearly ten years came out, and it was enough for the women in the palace to be vigilant.Ever since Concubine Yi moved into Lama Temple, the rumors in the palace have been rampant, and even the ministers of the previous dynasty have written about Concubine Yi's demon girl.

It would be fine if it was someone else, but Concubine Yi is the emperor's favorite person, so the emperor would definitely feel that concubine Yi was targeting her mother and son if she slandered Concubine Yi at this time.So it was a matter of time before Xiao Yu was let go.

It's just... It's cold on a snowy night, so I don't know how long Xiao Yu will kneel down.It's snowing outside, and I'm afraid that something will happen if I keep kneeling!

"Are there still people in Zichen Palace at this time?" Shen Chu took out a stove from the inner room, and found a warm fox fur cloak and a set of knee pads.

"Only the eunuch who keeps watch at night is here." Xiao Luzi replied respectfully, "Does the young master want to go and see?"

"Can I go?" Shen Chu didn't know if he could go or not. After all, it was the Emperor's Zichen Palace, and he was just a companion, so how could he get in?

"Maybe you can go and have a look." Xiao Luzi said thoughtfully, "I heard that His Highness is kneeling outside the hall. There is a palace gate outside Zichen Hall. Maybe His Highness is kneeling there."

Shen Chu nodded, put on his padded coat and cloak, and walked directly into the snow.There were still snowflakes floating above his head, and the north wind was howling, but he didn't feel cold at all.

Along the way, all he could think about was Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu is the lord, he is just a follower, it is not worthy of the lord to shield him from the wind and rain.When he first entered Zichen Palace, he knew that Xiao Yu would save him.But he didn't expect Xiao Yu to save him first, put him first, and even Xiao Yu himself got involved.

If Xiao Yu really fell for this matter this time, I am afraid that the hope of seizing the heir will be even slimmer.

Shen Chu never thought that someone would do this for him.

So when he walked through the thick snow, stepped over one palace wall after another, and passed through one dark palace alley after another, he saw Xiao Yu kneeling at the gate of Zichen Palace, his back still straightened by the wind and snow. When straight—

Looking at Xiao Yu's back, Shen Chu's eyes suddenly turned red.

The author has something to say: Little Theater:

Xiao Yu: Now the whole world knows that my wife is mine!

Shen Chu: ...?Am I getting it wrong?Not in your camp?

small theater:

Xiao Yu has only loved one person in his life, and he loves so dazedly that he loves without restraint. He has given everything to the devil just to be with Shen Chu, even if Shen Chu hates him to the bone, he will not hesitate.

Shen Chu only hated Xiao Yu in his life. He hated Xiao Yu's selfishness and despicableness, hated his relentless pursuit and unscrupulous methods. What he hated the most was that Xiao Yu lied to him, but he refused to lie to him for the rest of his life.

Back to school yesterday, exhausted, crying, I'm afraid I've become a useless pigeon

Also... is there anything wrong with Gyeongbokgung Palace? Why do you care so much about it?
