Chapter 67: Murderous Intent
Empress Luo's eyes were suddenly filled with panic and she waved her hands around.
"No, no, I don't want to drink this water. I mean, it's very bitter in my mouth, even the water has no taste. I... I'm staring at the cup because I feel guilty. I don't have anything good to offer you, so I can only give you water."
Eunuch Chen slowly tightened his grip on the cup.
When he came out with Chu Jiuning earlier, they were chatting when Chu Jiuning put a ring in his palm. The ring had a small flower in the middle and was made of silver.
Eunuch Chen put it on when he came here. Without saying a word, he dipped his finger into the water and then put down the teacup.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to treat me so well. You have been in the palace for four years. If you do not continue to receive your favor, I am afraid that your life will become increasingly difficult."
Finished.
Eunuch Chen lowered his eyes and took advantage of her distraction to quickly look at the small silver flower in the center of the ring.
really.
The middle turned a little bit black.
"How can it be hard without you?"
Empress Luo stepped forward and hugged Eunuch Chen, resting her head on his chest. Her voice was clearly trembling, but Chu Jiuning and the others saw a deep calculation in Luo Xian'er's eyes.
"You're the only one in my eyes and heart. Didn't you help me remove the sign? You have me in your heart too, right?"
Chu Jiuning was very impressed by the skillful acting. There was disgust and calculation in her eyes, but she pretended to be infatuated. She picked up the glass of water from Eunuch Chen, took a sip, and then suddenly flew into Eunuch Chen's arms, holding his face and offered her lips to him.
Eunuch Chen seemed to be frightened by her action. He tilted his face back, pressed his hand on her lips, and took the opportunity to use his hidden strength, and the saliva unexpectedly rolled into Empress Luo's throat.
…
When she realized what was happening, Empress Luo was stunned.
Subconsciously wanting to dig her throat, Eunuch Chen watched all this coldly and asked her.
"What's wrong?"
Empress Luo's face turned pale in an instant, but her mind told her not to reveal the truth, so she hurriedly smiled awkwardly and shook her head.
"It's okay, I just choked a little, Eunuch Chen, I'm fine. I'll take the medicine as soon as it's ready. You can go ahead and do your work."
"Okay, then you should have a good rest."
Eunuch Chen did not help her sit down as he usually did. Instead, he turned around swiftly, glanced at the curtain not far away, and strode away.
He remembers.
There is a man named Wuyou by the Crown Prince's side, who should be in the East Palace. Maybe he knows what kind of poison this is.
After confirming that Eunuch Chen had really left Yunxia Palace, Empress Luo broke out in a sweat and collapsed to the ground, shouting in horror to her personal maid.
"Quick, go and ask Eunuch Cang to come over, go quickly."
What should I do?
The water in the pot was poisonous. She wanted to be ambiguous with him, let him relax his guard, and feel pity for her, and then take the opportunity to feed the poison into Chen Muchuan's mouth. Who knew that the man actually dodged it.
The poison will take effect on the third day, so she has to take the antidote quickly!
Although she knew she would not die immediately, she was still so frightened that her whole body went limp. After she got up, she stumbled and could neither sit nor stand. She felt as if thousands of poisonous insects were gnawing at her heart.
Eunuch Cang knew that she was going to take action, so he was waiting for news.
Seeing that Yunxia Palace had invited him, he thought that the matter was probably settled, and his face was full of joy when he stepped into the palace.
result.
As soon as Empress Luo saw him, she told him what had happened while crying, and Eunuch Cang suddenly became extremely gloomy.
"Where's the antidote? Give me the antidote quickly."
"Chen Muchuan wasn't involved at all?"
The two of them spoke at the same time, and Liu Canghai's eyes widened. What should he do if he missed such a good opportunity and became suspicious?
"I don't know. When I jumped on him, I didn't even know if I touched him."
Empress Luo's eyes were swollen, and she stepped forward and grabbed Liu Canghai's sleeve.
"Uncle, please help me!"
dark place.
After hearing their conversation, the Crown Prince and Chu Jiuning frowned. What kind of combination is this?
Liu Canghai patted Concubine Luo on the shoulder.
"I don't have it on me right now. I'll bring it to you tonight. There's no rush. The poison takes two days to take effect. It's just a debilitating illness, but it won't kill you."
Empress Luo fell into a chair, her body limp, her lips and teeth chattering with fear.
"What's going on lately? I always feel like things are not going well."
Speaking of this.
Liu Canghai also became annoyed. They had been planning for so many years and were about to succeed.
"Uncle, how could my cousin die in the Duke of Song's mansion?"
who?
Chu Jiuning thought she had heard wrongly.
Cousin?
Chen Qingwu?
Isn't Chen Qingwu the one adopted by Eunuch Chen? How did he become Empress Luo's cousin?
Isn’t that right?
Isn’t this the son of Liu Canghai in front of me???
Empress Luo sat up, her brows furrowed.
"According to the plan, Chen Muchuan was supposed to be poisoned tonight and would become seriously ill in a few days, but for some reason, he managed to avoid it."
"My aunt shouldn't have revealed any flaws. I've had people investigate. My cousin died in Duke Song's mansion. It was Madam Song and Song Jinhuai who wanted to frame Chu Jiuning. Uncle, why don't you go see my aunt and ask her to kill Chen Muchuan. If that doesn't work, I'll find a way to win the emperor's favor. When the emperor falls in love with me, I'll take the opportunity to recommend you to be the chief steward of the Neihe Mansion and give birth to a prince. Then everything can go back to our plan. Once Chen Muchuan dies, you can be reunited with my aunt and my little cousin!"
Little cousin?
Mrs. Chen’s youngest son is not the housekeeper’s, but this Liu Canghai’s?
I wonder how Butler Chen will react when he finds out?
When Liu Canghai thought of his eldest son who was raised as a woman and died unjustly, a fierce look appeared on his face. He grabbed the water on the table and poured it into his mouth. The water droplets fell on the long hair on the mole near his mouth and fell to the ground. In annoyance, he smashed the cup to the ground.
"The money and power in the capital city are so tempting that people are desperate."
"Fifteen years ago, that man found your father. The two of them conspired for nearly three months, constantly plotting, finally preparing to cast the longest line and catch the biggest fish."
"So I approached Chu Lingze and became his best friend. Then I tricked him and Chang Youyi into going to Jiangzhou and killing them. I thought that with only an old man and a young child left, helpless and helpless, we could place them in the Chu family and wait for the right time to adopt them. But that old man is extremely vigilant and ruthless. The second, third, and fourth branches are also incompetent. We can't get involved in business, and we can't adopt anyone. Especially in recent years, the Chu family's business has become more and more powerful, and the defense has become increasingly tight."
Liu Canghai's frustrated and angry look continued to grow in Chu Jiuning's pupils, and the blood in his body instantly solidified and then boiled.
shock.
anger.
Blood.
hatred.
It took root almost instantly, growing into a towering tree in her heart, making her eyes red and murderous intent soar!!!
