Chapter 273



"I will write a prescription for you to take care of it, and you can just keep it for now!"

Lin Yuxin didn't say anything final.

The emperor roughly understood what Lin Yuxin said. He pursed his lips tightly and spoke for a long while:

"I understand."

"Your Majesty, since the Queen has been cured of the poison, it is a good thing. As for the rest, don't think about it anymore. If you take good care of the Queen in the future, maybe she can live a few more years."

Seeing her son so sad, the Queen Mother sighed and advised him.

She had been partial to Concubine Xiao Guifei before, and she felt guilty towards the Xiao family. In addition, she looked down on the status of the empress. The daughter of a small seventh-rank official sat on the throne of empress, which was somewhat disgraceful.

She couldn't help but be favored by the emperor, so as a mother, she was partial to the Xiao family, and her son still took first place in her heart.

So she agreed. Over the years, she knew a lot about Concubine Xiao's actions and was biased towards her, which wronged the queen.

Unexpectedly, he ended up raising an ungrateful person who wanted to seize the throne from his son?

The current Queen Mother feels guilty towards the Queen. If she hadn't been partial to her, her child wouldn't have been missing for so many years.

That's also her grandson!

The Queen Mother's eyes became moist when she thought of this. She was also very sad to see her son so sad at this moment.

"That's right, Your Majesty, I don't want you to be so sad!"

Concubine Shu also pretended to persuade her softly.

"I understand! You all should go back. The queen hasn't woken up yet. It's useless for you to do this!"

The emperor calmed down, waved his hand, and sent the concubines away.

Concubine Shu and Concubine Zhen looked at each other and knew that staying would only make the emperor disgusted, so they bowed to the emperor and said:

"Then I will take my leave first!"

The other concubines wanted to stay, but when they saw that Concubine Shu and Concubine Zhen had left, they wanted to stay. Their desire to compete for favor was too obvious.

Yu 놆 also bowed and said goodbye.

As a result, when the concubines reached the door, they saw Li Xiaochen striding in, bringing a eunuch with him.

"Your Majesty, I have arrested the eunuch who gave Grandma Jin the medicine. He is here and has not been interrogated yet."

Li Xiaochen saluted to the emperor with a serious face and then said.

He was mainly worried that Lin Yuxin might not be able to save the queen, so he could hurry back to beg for mercy and say some good words, so he caught her, searched her, and hurried back.

"Tell me, why did you poison the queen?"

When the emperor heard what Li Xiaochen said, he didn't think much about it. He turned his head to look at the eunuch who was kneeling on the ground and trembling. He was immediately furious and shouted in a cold voice.

"Your Majesty, please spare my life! I did not poison you. Please investigate!"

The eunuch refused to admit it and knelt on the ground crying for mercy.

"You mean to say that the Regent King arrested the wrong person?"

The emperor looked at the dog servant expressionlessly and asked.

"I dare not!"

The eunuch's heart tightened and he buried his head even lower!

"Since you don't admit it, come on, drag him out and beat him up until he confesses!"

"놆!"

Outside the door, Li Xiaochen led the eunuch in and walked out.

"Your Majesty, spare my life! Your Majesty!"

The eunuch was dragged away, and soon, wailing sounds were heard outside!

The concubines who had not left yet were all shuddering, but they dared not move, for fear that the emperor's anger would be directed at them. However, they did not dare to go out and could only stand where they were.

I thought the eunuch was a tough guy, but I didn't expect him to be so weak after being beaten with ten sticks.

"Your Majesty, I confess. All my confession! Your Majesty, please spare my life!"

The emperor had a cold face throughout the whole process. Even when he heard the outsiders begging for mercy, he did not open his mouth. He looked like he wanted the man to die whether he confessed or not.

He even waved his hand and asked the people outside to bring the eunuch in!

After a while, the eunuch who was beaten to a bloody pulp was dragged in and stood before the emperor.

The emperor's brows were cold and he said:

"Speak!"

"Your Majesty, Chunxiang, the personal maid of Empress Qi, gave me 100 taels of silver and asked me to add something to the Empress' medicine. That thing was also given to me by her. Please understand clearly, Your Majesty."

The eunuch lay on the ground, stammering as he told the story behind the scene. The wound on his back made it difficult for him to speak clearly, but he dared not hide anything anymore.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this servant did not do that. Little Jizi is just spitting blood out of his mouth. He is just talking nonsense!"

At this time, a concubine's face changed when she heard this, and a maid behind her knelt on the ground with a pale face, crying in fear, and flatly denied it to the emperor.

When Lin Yuxin looked at the concubine with an ugly face, she remembered that this woman was the concubine who screamed in fright when she came in just now.

It seems that the concubine was frightened by the emperor just now and felt guilty. Since this matter is related to her maid, it is also related to this Empress Qi.

The emperor did not speak. He just looked at Chunxiang, who was kneeling on the ground and crying, expressionlessly. He then glanced at Concubine Qi, who was trying to remain calm. Disgust flashed in his eyes, but he was not overwhelmed by anger. He turned to the eunuch and asked:

"You said that Chunxiang ordered you to do it. What evidence do you have?"

"Your Majesty, I have evidence. Under my bed I hid a purse given to me by Chunxiang. There was one hundred taels of silver in it. The purse also had the scent of jasmine from Chunxiang's body. I didn't use up all the medicine that Chunxiang asked me to give to the queen. I hid it under the table in the medicine room of the Imperial Hospital."

The eunuch saw that he had confessed, so he had no choice but to confess everything. Of course, he also left a backup plan for himself. One must be more careful in this palace.

But he also knew that he would not have a good time this time, so he let the two of them down and blame them for his misfortune.

Xiao Jizi didn't think about it. It was because of his greed that he became a helper to others.

Chunxiang's face changed when she heard this, she pursed her lips and said nothing.

Even Aunt Qi shuddered slightly when she heard this, thinking to herself that something was wrong.

Li Xiaochen took two things out of his arms, handed them over, and asked calmly:

"Both of these?"

The eunuch looked up and saw that he really saw the two things he had hidden. He nodded vigorously:

"Bye! These are the two things that Chunhyang gave me."

Li Xiaochen waited for him to admit it, then showed the two things in front of the emperor and reported respectfully:

"Your Majesty, please take a look! These two things were found under his bed and in the medicine room when I went to arrest him. They are exactly what this servant said."

The emperor picked up the purse, looked around, and smelled it. There was indeed a scent of jasmine, and Chunxiang's name was indeed embroidered on the right corner of the purse. There was also one hundred taels of silver inside, which had not been touched.

"Pingning, take a look at this bottle of medicine. Is it the one for the queen?"

The emperor waved at Lin Yuxin and said.

"놆!"

Lin Yuxin had been watching the show for such a long time, but she didn't expect that she would have a chance to appear on the stage, so she took the medicine bottle from Li Xiaochen's hand, opened it and smelled it, raising her eyebrows.

She looked at Chunxiang, and then at Empress Qi, and both of them tensed up, not daring to breathe.

"How is it?"

The emperor saw Lin Yuxin's expression and asked with a frown.
