Chapter 305: Palace Banquet Incident 3
In the room, Su Xue finally woke up, but the moment she saw Murong Yi, she felt dizzy and passed out.
Murong Yi looked at the unconscious Su Xue with a smile on his lips. When he was about to come to his senses, he saw a group of eunuchs and palace maids coming in.
A eunuch also said: "Prince Yi, the emperor is waiting for you outside. The servants will help you get up first."
Murong Yi broke into a cold sweat, and the joy he had just felt was completely washed away. He thought to himself, why is the emperor here?
He didn't want to alarm the emperor, he just wanted to make it a fait accompli so that Su Xue would have no choice but to marry him.
Now I'm going to be beaten by that old guy.
"You all go out, I will do it myself. After I leave, the palace maids will come in to serve Miss Su Er."
Murong Yi covered Su Xue with the quilt, hiding her body, and said in a deep voice.
"But the emperor ordered us..." a palace maid said quickly.
"Then you guys get out."
Murong Yi pointed at the eunuch and said, "Eunuchs are also men. Su Xue is his woman and no one can see her."
The eunuchs were tactful and left immediately. Prince Yi didn't need their service anyway.
Murong Yi quickly put on his clothes and came out. He saw the emperor looking at him with a gloomy face, while the concubines were looking at him with a smile, watching his show.
There was only one person who made him feel cold all over, and that was Murong Li.
Chen Ying was looking at him with a sad face.
Murong Yi pretended to be shocked, then lowered his head and knelt before the emperor, saying loudly, "Father, I have done something unforgivable today. Please punish me."
"Humph, you're still acting like a spoiled brat after getting the advantage. Who is the woman in the room?"
The emperor snorted coldly and asked in a cold voice. He asked knowingly to prevent the people present from making trouble.
"Yes, it was Su Xue, the second daughter of the Marquis of Anding's Mansion. Father, don't blame Miss Su. Someone had tampered with the house beforehand. I was a little drunk and wanted to rest here for a while. I didn't expect to hear unusual noises coming from inside, so I went in. After entering, I was also tricked. I don't know what happened after that."
Seeing the emperor's changed expression, Murong Yi immediately said what he had prepared in his mind, turning the instigator into a victim and even Su Xue's savior.
The aphrodisiac he and Su Xue took could not be found to have any residual traces after the effect wore off, but the effect was not this strong. He had taken it before, and it could keep people awake, but he had no rationality at all before and did it completely in a daze.
He grew up in the palace and had seen many such dirty tricks. It went without saying that this room must have been tampered with in advance.
I just don't know who is behind this and who is targeting them?
In this way, he and Su Xue are indeed victims.
"Is it really as you said?"
The emperor didn't believe his words at all. This old man was always smart and now he portrayed himself as a victim.
It did help to regain some face for the royal family and reduce the anger in his heart.
"Father, please send the imperial physician to take a look."
As long as the imperial physician investigates, he will definitely find out the truth. He is also curious about who has accomplished his good deed.
"Your Majesty, please ask the imperial physician to come and check it out."
Concubine Yun, who had been silent all this time, said this.
The emperor looked at her and said to the eunuch beside him, "Wu Dezi, go to the Imperial Hospital and find an imperial physician."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will go right away."
Wu Dezi quickly responded that he was the apprentice of Ninth Eunuch, and the emperor asked Ninth Eunuch to stop working and just stay in the palace to accompany him in his old age. That was why Wu Dezi was asked to stay with the emperor.
"Your Majesty, please help my daughter. If she loses her innocence like this, how can she live with dignity in the future?"
At this moment, everyone was waiting for the imperial physician to come. Madam Su Er came before the emperor, knelt down and begged him.
Even though she was the victim's mother, she had to endure it no matter how angry or painful it was for her to act so unruly in front of the emperor, princes, and concubines.
The emperor glanced at her and said softly, "Madam Su, please stand up. I will definitely find out the truth of this matter and give Miss Su an explanation."
"Old Fifth, you don't have a concubine in your house, so I'll give you Second Miss Su as your concubine. Choose an auspicious day to welcome Second Miss Su into your house."
To put it bluntly, a concubine is just a concubine. She cannot be married into the family in a sedan chair carried by eight people and with a formal matchmaker like the main wife, but a small wedding ceremony can be held.
The emperor had no choice. Mr. Su was now busy with disaster relief in Jiangnan, and their achievements were remarkable. He couldn't let them down and had to comfort them in some way.
But things have come to this point. Whether the truth is found out or not, Su Xue can only marry Murong Yi. Who will dare to marry the prince's woman in the future?
But since she can't be the principal wife, she can only be a concubine.
With the current status of the Marquis of Anding, she is more than qualified to be the prince's concubine, and it will not be a disgrace to her.
However, the two legitimate daughters of the Marquis' Mansion married the only two remaining princes, and it is not known which prince the Marquis' Mansion will support.
I’m afraid there will be some good shows to watch in the future.
The emperor looked at his two sons with disrespect.
"Thank you, Father. I will definitely treat Miss Su well."
Murong Yi achieved his goal and was so happy that he kowtowed to the emperor to express his gratitude.
Murong Li looked at Murong Yi with a serious look, and really wanted to scratch his face. He was wondering in his heart, does Su Xue's matter have anything to do with Murong Yi?
Knowing that Su Yue was his princess, and the Marquis of Anding would definitely stand on his side, he wanted to interfere. Such a thankless task was not Murong Yi's style.
Or is he trying to steal someone from him?
But now that things have come to this, Su Xue is already Murong Yi's person, and there is nothing he can do to stop it.
Not only could he not figure out Murong Yi's purpose, but even the concubines in the palace couldn't figure out why he did this.
Prince Li's mother was the Imperial Noble Consort, but Murong Yi no longer has a mother. Even if the Marquis of Anding supports him, it is only for Murong Li and not for him.
In the end, everyone concluded that Murong Yi might really be doing what he said out of kindness.
Or it might cause trouble for Murong Li.
Wu Dezi quickly invited an imperial physician, who happened to have come to the palace today to check the pulse of a concubine. Wu Dezi met him when he was leaving the palace and invited him over.
The imperial physician bowed to the emperor and the two princes, and greeted the ladies present, then went into the room to check.
Everyone outside was eagerly waiting. After a while, the imperial physician came out with a white handkerchief in his hand, which still had a little residual smell on it.
"Your Majesty, this was found inside."
The emperor asked, "What's that on top?"
The imperial physician said, "Your Majesty, this is Xiaoyao Powder."
Everyone present knew what Xiaoyao Powder was, and they all gasped when they heard it.
