Chapter 271 I Won't Be Sad
"Your Majesty, Concubine Chan does have a parasite in her body."
After the three imperial doctors came for a follow-up examination, they gave the same answer.
"How is this possible?" Duke Xu pretended to be shocked, "Aren't parasites only found in people from the Southern Yu Kingdom?"
Hearing this, everyone looked at Li Fanghua.
Li Fanghua curled her lips, "There are several kinds of insects. Some insects hurt people, some make people infatuated, some make people immersed in beautiful illusions, and some make people beautify their skin."
"The first two are forced, the latter two are voluntary, and now Concubine Chan has hallucinations, which means it is the third kind of insect."
"This kind of insect has both advantages and disadvantages. It can make people immersed in the beautiful illusions they weave, but they can also be counterattacked. Once they are counterattacked, the beautiful illusion will be broken and become an illusion that scares her."
[Haha, you are really good at making up stories.]
"You mean, Concubine Chan voluntarily let people grow insects?"
said an imperial physician.
"That's right." Li Fanghua nodded, "So this incident was her own fault, and she can't blame the person who did it."
The implication is that the people of Nanyu did not want to harm Concubine Chan, it was Concubine Chan who asked for it, so she can't blame the person who did it, and she, Li Fanghua, has nothing to do with this matter.
[The slur is quite clean.]
"General Fanghua is wrong, Concubine Chan is fine, how could she let someone do such a thing to her?"
Lin You smiled with a curled lip.
"It's very simple, because Concubine Chan has never been favored by Emperor An, she wants to weave a beautiful fantasy to live her life. Alas, she is also a pitiful woman."
After Li Fanghua said this, Duke Xu clenched his fists.
Indeed, if the emperor had pampered Chan'er and given Concubine Chan the position of queen, they, father and daughter, would not have come to this point.
All of this was done by the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, who deceived them and forced them.
It was no wonder that they betrayed him.
Several imperial doctors looked at the frail emperor cautiously.
"We have to investigate to find out if it is really as the general said."
Shen Jing'an said lightly.
His voice was light but cold, with a compelling aura.
After that, Shen Jing'an had all the palace maids and eunuchs around Concubine Chan taken away for interrogation.
"As for Concubine Chan, she will be confined to the palace for life and she is not allowed to step out of it."
Duke Xu knelt down with a thump, "No, Your Majesty, Concubine Chan did this because of you, how can you be so cruel and heartless."
"I didn't abolish her position as a concubine, and I put her in the cold palace, which was a great tolerance. As for you, Duke Xu, you didn't discipline your daughter and let her do such an extraordinary behavior, and you can't escape punishment either."
"Your Majesty, this has nothing to do with me!"
Hearing that he would also be punished, Duke Xu panicked.
"Eunuch Hong, go and draft an imperial edict to abolish Duke Xu's title."
"Yes."
"Your Majesty, I am the Queen Mother's half-brother, you can't abolish my title, you will hurt the Queen Mother's heart."
Duke Xu was still trying his best to excuse himself.
"Hmph, I won't be sad. On the contrary, I support the emperor."
At this time, the Queen Mother's voice rang out.
Everyone looked towards the door and saw the Queen Mother walking towards them with a cane, her steps steady and her face gloomy.
Duke Xu crawled over, grabbed the empress dowager's clothes, and cried and begged, "Empress dowager, no, elder sister, we are from the same mother. Have you forgotten that when you were a child, you were bullied and I was the one who stood in front of you and protected you?"
"Also, when mother wanted to beat you and scold you, it was me who protected you. And when you were locked up and hungry, I secretly brought food for you."
"Eldest sister, have you forgotten everything?"
"Haha, it's precisely because I didn't forget that I tolerated you for so long. But you, you no longer consider me your elder sister."
"No, you have always been my elder sister. I have always been thinking about you, but I've been busy, so I..."
"Xu Hao, you know what you did." The
Queen Mother said coldly, pulling her clothes out of Duke Xu's hands, turned around, and had Duke Xu dragged away.
After hearing what the Queen Mother said, Duke Xu's expression changed, and he did not ask for mercy.
He was shaking in his heart.
Therefore, the Emperor and the Queen Mother abolished his title this time, not because of Chan'er's being deceived, but because they already knew that he stood on the side of Prince Yu and betrayed them.
But how did they know?
The Emperor stayed in Yunqian Palace every day, and the Queen Mother rarely left Shouren Palace. Besides, they didn't have no loyal people, so how did they know that he betrayed them? It
was Concubine Yougui, yes, it must be the evil concubine Concubine Yougui.
She was the only one who often went out of the palace, and Jiang Shangshu, Zhongshu Ling and others were her confidants, so she sent people to follow him and Shen Yu, and told the emperor and the queen mother about him and Shen Yu.
"Yougui Concubine, you evil concubine, you are the one who whispered evil words in the ears of the emperor and the queen mother, aren't you a harming evil concubine!"
"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, this evil concubine will sooner or later make Dasheng fall, you can't keep her!"
Duke Xu, who was dragged to the gate, suddenly shouted hysterically.
Everyone in the front hall heard it. The
queen mother was so angry that she could only knock on the cane in her hand, "Evil creature, how could the Xu family have such an evil creature!"
Li Fanghua watched silently from the side, with a look of happiness in her eyes.
--After
sending the Queen Mother back to Shouren Palace and soothing her to sleep, Lin You and Shen Jing'an returned to Yungan Palace.
At night, Lin You lay in Shen Jing'an's arms and described in great detail how she had hurt Li Fanghua with her hairpin, and even exaggerated the story.
This made Shen Jing'an laugh.
Lin You lifted his chin and winked, "Your Majesty is so handsome when he smiles. You should smile more. You pretend to be sick all day and act like an emotionless robot."
"Robot?"
Shen Jing'an opened his lips in confusion.
"What is that?"
He wanted to know more about the world where Lin You lived, so that he could have a common conversation with her.
"It's something similar to something made of iron."
Lin You answered subconsciously instead of avoiding the topic.
"Is the iron thing like the fighter plane picture drawn by my beloved concubine?"
Shen Jing'an asked while stroking the black hair of the person in his arms and smoothing it.
"Well, it's about the same."
"Hey, isn't the emperor curious about why I know these strange things?"
Lin You realized belatedly that Shen Jing'an had never questioned his strange behavior.
"If my beloved concubine is willing to tell me, she will tell me. I don't want my beloved concubine to be embarrassed, entangled, or have a headache."
The low and gentle voice fell gently into her ears, like a feather gently brushing her earlobe, making Lin You's heart soften.
He said that he didn't ask because he didn't want to embarrass himself, get entangled, or have a headache...
"Shen Jing'an, can you be so kind?"
It's not the emperor, it's Shen Jing'an. At this moment, they are just an ordinary couple.
