Chapter 247 Cuckolded?
Emperor Minghe was sitting in the next room, his face still showing an elegant and peaceful expression.
There was a screen blocking the scene inside, preventing him from seeing Sun Jiufeng.
Emperor Minghe said to Lu Jingyu beside him:
"Jing Yu, are you worried that the blood would scare me? Then you really underestimate me. When I first went to the battlefield to fight, you were not there yet."
Lu Jingyu knew that he had misunderstood, but he didn't explain.
He nodded and said, "Your Majesty, please sit here. I will go to interrogate Sun Jiufeng first."
After a while, the medicine has taken effect.
Lu Jingyu walked over the screen and came to the tied Sun Jiufeng.
Sun Jiufeng is a eunuch after all. He has been with Concubine Su for many years and has been pampered and has a delicate skin and tender flesh.
Luo Shui and his men had tortured Sun Jiufeng before. At this time, Sun Jiufeng's body was covered in blood, he was barely breathing, and looked in a miserable state.
But even so, he still said nothing.
With his hands tied to the cross, he hung his head and his hair spread out, covering his eyes.
After a long while, he slowly woke up. When he raised his head, his eyes were a little confused.
Lu Jingyu: "Lu Yun is your brother, right?"
Sun Jiufeng: “…Yes.”
Lu Jingyu: "He disappeared for a long time. It's not like what he said before. He was sent to a farm in the countryside by Duke Qin."
"In fact, he is haunted and dead."
Sun Jiufeng's pupils shrank suddenly, and he said in a shocked tone, "Brother, he's dead, dead?"
Lu Jingyu: "Yes, it was after you asked him to join others in exterminating the entire Lin family that Lu Yun has been feeling guilty."
"He felt so guilty that he couldn't bear it and committed suicide."
A trace of pain flashed across Sun Jiufeng's eyes, and he murmured, "I'm sorry, brother..."
"Back then, due to my eldest brother's negligence, we brothers were separated."
"After we met again, he said he felt guilty towards me and would do whatever I asked him to do."
"Whether it was murder or arson, or even poisoning Lu Jingyu later."
"In fact, he also advised me to stop, but I couldn't bear to leave Xin'er."
Lu Jingyu keenly caught a name.
"Who is Xin'er?"
Sun Jiufeng suddenly stopped, frowning, as if he was struggling with his conscience and trying to resist the drug.
Asked about land transportation, it is smooth.
When it comes to talking about 'Xin'er', you actually resist like this?
It can be seen that in Sun Jiufeng's heart, Xin'er is more important than his own brothers!
He began to struggle in pain.
Lu Jingyu continued: "You would rather kill your own elder brother for this Xin'er, don't you feel bad at all?"
Sun Jiufeng's tears flowed down.
"I feel bad, but Xin'er is so important to me!"
"Don't even mention other people, I'd even die for Xin'er."
"Besides, it was my eldest brother who owed me this. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have suffered so much. Just think of it as him paying me back."
Lu Jingyu was shocked by the shamelessness in Sun Jiufeng's bones.
Even when Lu Yun was fleeing from famine, he lost his younger brother because of carelessness.
But over the years, Lu Yun has done a lot for Sun Jiufeng and has repaid him.
But Sun Jiufeng thought so.
However, this person has been helping the Third Prince Su Fei for so many years, aiding and abetting the tyrant, and is not a good person either.
The key point now is to find Xin'er so as to pry open his mouth, otherwise the effect of the medicine will wear off.
etc……
Lu Jingyu suddenly realized that he seemed to know who Xin'er was!
At this moment, the screen was kicked open by someone.
Emperor Minghe, who had been calm and composed even under pressure, now had a strong sense of hostility in his eyes.
He grabbed Sun Jiufeng by the collar.
"What is your relationship with Concubine Su?"
Concubine Su's name is Su Tanxin.
Sun Jiufeng's eyes were confused for a moment, and he refused to tell who Xin'er was.
However, his relationship with Xin'er made him feel very proud.
Perhaps it is this kind of pride that has been supporting him in doing one evil thing after another.
Sun Jiufeng smiled proudly and wantonly, "Xin'er, she is the woman I am willing to protect with my life. If it weren't for that damn emperor who forced her into the palace, we would have lived together forever!"
"However, it's not too late now. We just need to help our son take the position... eh!"
Emperor Minghe was so furious that he reached out and grabbed Sun Jiufeng's neck.
Lu Jingyu reacted quickly and immediately pulled him away, "Your Majesty, this man is still useful and cannot die!"
If Sun Jiufeng had an affair with Concubine Su, then Sun Jiufeng would know 80% of the evil things Concubine Su had done.
Emperor Minghe slowly loosened his hand.
Lu Jingyu knew that the effect of the medicine was very important and would soon wear off, so he immediately called Luo Shui to continue interrogating Sun Jiufeng.
He helped Emperor Minghe to go to the next room.
Lu Jingyu poured a cup of tea for Emperor Minghe. Emperor Minghe took it, drank half of it, and then sighed.
"I'm sorry to make you laugh at my joke."
"He's not an outsider."
"..." Emperor Minghe glared at him unhappily and said helplessly:
"After the late queen passed away, I treated Concubine Su the best I could, but I never expected that she would betray me like this!"
First, she replaced his son, and then she cheated on him?
No man can tolerate such a thing.
What's more, he is the emperor.
Lu Jingyu comforted him in return.
"Your Majesty, it seems that the Third Prince is most likely not your son."
"This way, if he rebels, you won't have to feel too bad when you deal with him."
Emperor Minghe: "Are you trying to comfort me?"
Lu Jingyu nodded innocently.
Emperor Minghe felt a little powerless.
That was a good comfort. Don’t comfort me next time.
He took another sip of the tea. It was completely cold, and it felt bitter and cold as it flowed down his throat.
Not much was found out from the interrogation of Luo Shui, because Sun Jiufeng was a man with a very strong will.
But fortunately, several major things were revealed.
It was with these confessions that, after finding the relevant evidence, they could completely banish Concubine Su to the cold palace and give her white silk and poisoned wine.
But now Su Fei is still useful.
Even though Emperor Minghe was very angry, he quickly calmed down.
He realized something and asked Lu Jingyu, "Why is Sun Jiufeng willing to confess?"
Still asked about this.
Lu Jingyu: "I was seriously injured at the time, but luckily I was saved by Doctor Bai."
"At that time, he accidentally made a medicine that could make people tell the truth, but it had serious side effects, and Doctor Bai never made it again. So I asked him for this medicine."
"Because I didn't know if I would die after taking it, I never used it before."
"But this time, seeing that Sun Jiufeng was so tight-lipped, I remembered this medicine."
Moreover, if nothing unexpected happens, Sun Jiufeng will not be alive by the time this matter is over.
Emperor Minghe looked at Lu Jingyu with a serious expression, nodded, and did not ask any more questions about the matter.
Anyway, he wanted to strangle Sun Jiufeng to death just now.
Seeing that he didn't ask any more questions, Lu Jingyu's eyes dimmed.
Subconsciously, he didn't want to involve Qing Ning in these conspiracies.
Even though the man in front of him was his loyal monarch and his biological father.
As for whether Emperor Minghe could see through his lie, that didn’t matter.
Because of the cuckolding incident, Emperor Minghe was even more indignant.
However, when he thought that the third prince might not be the son of Emperor Minghe, Lu Jingyu suddenly felt a little sympathy for him.
Emperor Minghe looked at the sympathy in his eyes speechlessly.
"Alright, I'm not that fragile. Do you know how far Qin Xuanye has moved?"
Lu Jingyu: "He contacted old members of the Su family everywhere, but what he wanted to do was too risky. He was also worried that someone would leak the news, so he didn't dare to make it public, so he had few supporters."
This matter is urgent.
It is destined that this matter will be like an egg hitting a rock and end in failure.
But even so, the third prince, who was forced into a desperate situation, would definitely take the risk.
Emperor Minghe said coldly: "Then force him a little more, and spread the news tomorrow, saying that Su Tanxin has been banished to the cold palace and demoted to a useless person!"
Lu Jingyu: "Your Majesty, if this happens, he might just take action, and he might even come to assassinate you tomorrow night!"
Emperor Minghe: "I'm just afraid he won't come!"
Looking at the furious Emperor Minghe, Lu Jingyu knew that it was useless to persuade him now.
The only way to ensure the safety of Emperor Minghe is to increase the number of imperial guards in the palace.
The next day.
The news that Concubine Su was banished to the cold palace and became a useless person soon reached the ears of the third prince Qin Xuanye.
Qin Xuanye's eyes suddenly turned red.
"Didn't you say it was just house arrest? How did it become banishment to the cold palace?"
Although he was very panicked before, he always thought that there might be other ways out.
My mother just angered my father. Once he calms down, everything will return to normal. After all, my father has always doted on my mother.
But right now...
Sun Duo was also shocked. He immediately asked, "But what was the reason?"
The counselor shook his head. "We only heard that His Majesty was furious and banished the queen to the cold palace. We don't know the specific reason."
Qin Xuanye became even more panicked.
In fact, he didn't know how many things his mother had done, but it must have been a lot of bad things.
There are many things that can make my father angry.
He raised his head and looked at everyone, "What should I do?"
If he launches a coup now, there is no chance of success. He might as well just run away.
But he was unwilling to just run away.
Moreover, this means that he has completely abandoned his mother, and most importantly, he will have no chance of getting the throne...
At the same time, Su Tanxin, who was banished to the cold palace, raised her hand and slapped the young eunuch beside her.
"How dare you push me? Take your dirty hands away!"
The young eunuch was Luo Shui's confidant and was not used to being sick, so he raised his hand and slapped him back.
"Oh, do you still think you are still the high and mighty Concubine Su?"
"Don't you even look at where this place is? Why are you so arrogant?"
Su Tanxin covered her face with her hands, her eyes bloodshot.
"How dare you hit me? This is outrageous!"
"I want to see your Majesty, I want to see your Majesty! Why did you banish me to the cold palace for no reason?"
"Qin Chi! Come out here!"
"You clearly said that you loved me the most and would treat me well for the rest of my life, how could you banish me to the cold palace?"
"How could you do this to me!"
Su Tanxin looked disheveled, with her hair disheveled and tears rolling down her cheeks.
Wronged and painful.
She didn't know how long she had been crying, and the two little eunuchs had quietly retreated.
The entire cold palace was filled with silence, and the passing wind made a whistling sound.
At this moment, Emperor Ming He, dressed in bright yellow, walked in.
"Su Tanxin, why can't I do this to you?"
