Chapter 230: The medicine you gave me?
The Emperor of Great Chu lifted his legs and walked towards the Jinxiu Palace.
The rage in my heart was about to burst out.
So Shen Ning deliberately let the maid beside her drug herself in order to get close to her, and she treated herself.
No wonder the imperial physician couldn't find the cause of the disease, it turned out to be poison.
This woman actually dared to take advantage of me.
Thinking of this, the Emperor of Great Chu quickened his pace.
When they arrived at Jinxiu Palace, Shen Ning was having lunch with Yueran and Yunlan.
Seeing the Great Chu Emperor coming, Shen Ning stood up and saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty, why are you here at this time? Have you had lunch yet?"
The Emperor of Great Chu just sat there with a gloomy face and said nothing.
Only then did Shen Ning realize that the Emperor of Great Chu was angry.
I felt a little uneasy.
Yunlan also followed behind Shen Ning. Looking at the appearance of the Great Chu Emperor, she felt a little trembling.
No wonder people say that serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. Judging from your Majesty's current condition, I'm afraid he will drag you out and chop you off if something goes wrong.
But Yue Ran calmed down and served a cup of tea to the Emperor of Great Chu.
Seeing Yue Ran like this, Shen Ning suddenly came to his senses and walked forward to serve tea to the Emperor of Great Chu: "Your Majesty, the Sixth Princess has behaved very well in Jinxiu Palace these few days. Not only has she eaten on time, she has also come to my palace to ask for a lot of books to read!"
The Emperor of Great Chu still said nothing, but took the tea handed to him by Shen Ning. Now that the matter has not been confirmed yet, he cannot refuse the face of the Queen.
Shen Ning saw that her words seemed to have an effect, so she stood beside the Great Chu Emperor and continued, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother's birthday banquet was over a few days ago, and I have been preparing for the Second Princess's marriage these days."
Because the Emperor of Chu had many children, he was not very concerned about their marriages.
Hearing this, the Great Chu Emperor's expression softened a little: "What day has been set?"
"I have checked with the Qin Tianjian, and they say the ninth day of the sixth lunar month is a good day."
"There is just one more thing I want to ask Your Majesty when you are free..."
When Shen Ning said this, the Great Chu Emperor suddenly stretched out his hand to stop her from continuing: "You go and take care of this matter..."
I was about to ask her to discuss it with Qingyan, but then I felt that it seemed inappropriate to let the Queen discuss things with the Royal Consort.
I also wanted to discuss it with the Queen Mother, but after all, she was old and could not be troubled by her anymore.
Then he sighed.
When Qingyan was in charge of the harem, these matters were never brought to her attention for resolution.
"Forget it, let's discuss these things later. I came to you today because I have something to ask you." Having said this, the face of the Emperor of Great Chu, which had just relaxed, darkened again.
Shen Ning quickly replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, just ask."
"I had a headache earlier, but was it you who gave me the medicine?"
As soon as the Great Chu Emperor said this, the room suddenly fell silent.
Shen Ning had never expected that the Great Chu Emperor had actually found out about this matter. It seemed that the Dragon Shadow Guards around him really couldn't be careless.
What she didn't expect was that the Emperor of Great Chu would speak of this matter so directly.
After she realized what was happening, Shen Ning knelt down hurriedly: "I am innocent. Your Majesty, I don't know where you heard this nonsense from. Please don't believe my provocation."
However, in her eyes, in a corner that the Emperor of Great Chu could not see, there was a flash of panic.
Since Shen Ning ascended the throne, she never gave the Emperor of Great Chu medicine again.
Firstly, the goal was achieved. Secondly, Shen Ning was entangled in the tedious palace affairs and had no time to take care of this matter, let alone take care of the Emperor of Chu.
Sometimes Shen Ning even wondered if he had chosen the wrong path.
Rather than being a queen like this, it would be better to be a favored concubine like Song Qingyan.
Do I have to wait until a hundred years after the reign of the Great Chu Emperor before I can gain absolute power?
Now is not the time to regret these things, because the Emperor of Great Chu is now "hanging" a knife over his head.
For safety reasons, she let Yunping handle the poisoning most of the time.
Now that Yun Ping is gone, it doesn't matter if the matter is investigated.
Thinking of this, Shen Ning felt more at ease.
When the Emperor of Great Chu saw her like this, he couldn't help but feel a little disgusted. As an empress, she would cry like this for no reason. It was really unbecoming of the royal family.
Seeing that the Great Chu Emperor did not say anything, Shen Ning continued to defend herself: "I feel sorry for your Majesty, so I go to see your Majesty every day. How can you..."
At this point, Shen Ning seemed very sad and couldn't even continue talking.
The Great Chu Emperor knew that this matter would certainly be fruitless. Even the Dragon Shadow Guards could only trace back to Yun Ping. It seemed that it had little to do with Shen Ning.
Shen Ning had indeed handled this matter very carefully, and had not done anything by himself. Even Mei Ying, who was always good at secret investigations, could only make guesses.
But Yun Ping was after all Shen Ning's friend, and the Great Chu Emperor had some grievances against Shen Ning.
When he spoke again, his tone was even colder: "Forget it!"
The Great Chu Emperor stood up and said, "You should take good care of Xingxue's marriage."
Then he left Jinxiu Palace without looking back.
After returning to Yu's study, the Great Chu Emperor called Ying in again: "Send two more people to keep an eye on Jinxiu Palace, the empress, and the maids around her. Keep a close eye on them all."
In the end, he still doubted Shen Ning.
After the Great Chu Emperor left the Jinxiu Palace, Shen Ning knelt on the ground and felt his legs go weak.
Rao, who is always able to relax and work hard, also breathed a sigh of relief.
When he looked at his own queen, he saw that her legs seemed weak and she couldn't stand up. He hurriedly stepped forward and helped her up: "My queen."
The two of them looked at each other in a place where Yunlan couldn't see.
Seeing the queen like this, Yunlan also hurriedly climbed up and stepped forward, muttering: "My queen, I was so scared just now. Why did Your Majesty suddenly think like this?"
"In the past, everyone in the palace said that His Majesty was violent, but I thought that His Majesty was always kind and gentle to the Empress, and it seemed that he was not like what the outside world said. After seeing him today, I realized that what the outside world said was true."
"Yunlan!" Yueran shouted at her, "You are criticizing His Majesty. Do you think your life is too long?"
Yunlan covered her mouth and looked at the Empress in surprise, then knelt down with a plop: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, I am not..."
Shen Ning just waved his hand at him: "Forget it, you go down first!"
Then Yu Yueran carried him into the inner room.
After entering the inner room, Shen Ning sat down and drank a cup of tea, then he took a long breath and tried to calm himself down.
"Go find Prince Yi and tell him not to come anytime soon."
Since Your Majesty has become suspicious of the Jinxiu Palace, he will not give up so easily.
