"Implicate you?" Concubine Tong sneered, pulling out a piece of paper from her sleeve and throwing it at the emperor's face, "Are Xuan'er and Chang'an two more people dead in your hands?
King Yi was killed by you a long time ago. It was you who forced Xuan'er to kill King Yi with her own hands.
I, Xu Yitong, have never given up on finding King Yi. You didn't expect that I would buy information from Fushengmen, did you? "
"Fu Sheng Men?" Chang'an was surprised. She glanced at Can Shang. Fortunately, Can Shang was also looking at her at this time. The two looked at each other for a second.
Most likely, Bei Mingxuan's attention was on Concubine Tong, otherwise he would have noticed the abnormality of Chang'an and Canshang.
"Yes!" The emperor grabbed Concubine Tong's neck and said, "Who allowed him to touch my woman? If he doesn't die, will you die? Come! Take Concubine Tong back to the palace."
The emperor was already full of anger today, and now he took it all out on Concubine Tong.
"Father." Bei Mingxuan immediately knelt down. "My mother has gone insane. Please don't hold it against her. I beg you to consider this as a reward for killing Prince Yi for you."
The emperor was stunned and glanced at Bei Mingxuan. "Back then, you killed Prince Yi with your own hands and asked me to agree to your one condition. Is this it?"
"Yes!" Bei Mingxuan admitted, "Just to keep my mother."
"Keep your mother? Okay, I'll grant you your wish." After saying that, the emperor left without looking back.
The empress dowager, who had fainted, was carried into a carriage and returned to the palace at the emperor's order.
After the emperor left, Concubine Tong finally calmed down, but she seemed to be unable to hear anyone talking.
"Fu Lin, Fu Cheng, take Mr. Ghost Doctor to rest," Chang'an ordered. "Take good care of him. If Mr. Ghost Doctor gets lost and walks out of the palace, don't blame me for using you as a scapegoat."
"Yes." Fu Lin and Fu Cheng knew how important the ghost doctor was to their prince.
Chang'an's words were spoken to Fu Lin and Fu Cheng, but also to Shen Shang.
The voice was transmitted, "Master, don't worry. This woman is perfectly healthy. She just wants to go crazy."
At the same time, he said, "Prince Xuan, you should thank me. If I hadn't used poison to control your father, you might be crying while holding your mother's corpse."
"Thank you." Bei Mingxuan finished speaking, and he moved his body. A cut immediately appeared on Cang Shang's wrist, and blood spilled on the ground in an arc shape, which was extremely perfect.
"Bei Mingxuan." Chang'an said angrily, "He is a child."
“…”
Canshang looked at Beimingxuan with contempt, yes, you didn’t even let a child go.
“…”
Bei Mingxuan looked at Shen Shang with contempt. "You're asking for trouble. I'd better kill you, you shameless old thing!"
The ghost doctor and the servant came out of the room.
At this time, Xu Yitong had fainted from crying.
Early the next morning, the emperor sent Eunuch De to Prince Xuan's mansion.
"Your Highness, Princess." Eunuch De was followed by two guards, each holding a wooden box. "This is a gift from the Emperor to Concubine Tong."
As they spoke, the two guards opened the wooden box and placed it between Bei Mingxuan and Chang'an.
A pot of wine and a cup.
A white silk.
"What do you mean?" Bei Mingxuan stared straight at Eunuch De, his voice so cold that it made people tremble.
"Prince Xuan, please accept the order." Eunuch De shook his head helplessly, "You should read it yourself."
Eunuch De handed the imperial edict to Bei Mingxuan, "The emperor also said that if Concubine Tong is unwilling to do it herself, then please ask Prince Xuan to do it for her."
"..." Chang'an was furious. "This is asking the son to kill his mother. I never thought the emperor could think of such a beastly thing to do."
"Princess, calm down." Eunuch De wiped the sweat from his forehead. "This servant was only following the master's orders. Master Tong, you are so worried about your son that you tested the medicine on yourself, and it turned out to be an accident... It's really regrettable."
Bei Mingxuan had a blank expression on his face at this moment, and outsiders had no idea what he was really thinking.
But Chang'an noticed that Bei Mingxuan's hands behind his back were trembling slightly. He was angry, but also enduring.
Chang An didn't say anything. He walked to Bei Mingxuan's side and gently held Bei Mingxuan's trembling hand. "I'll accompany you."
Bei Mingxuan grasped Chang'an's hand, exerting a little force as a response. He looked at Eunuch De and asked, "Does the Emperor have anything else to say?"
"The Emperor said he would fulfill Prince Xuan's filial piety and keep the Princess." Eunuch De was sweating. In fact, these were the words the Emperor had said to Prince Xuan himself, but he had never dared to speak out loud. "At the beginning, Prince Xuan only said to keep Mother... He didn't say whether to keep her alive or dead. So, keeping her dead is also fulfilling the promise he made."
In fact, the emperor's original words were, "Bei Mingxuan wants me to fulfill my original promise and keep Xu Yitong. Fine, then I will leave a dead Xu Yitong for Xuan'er."
"Very good!" Bei Mingxuan took a deep breath, his eyes fell on the things in the two wooden boxes.
Eunuch De said with a hint of urgency, "This wine was personally prepared by the Emperor. Your Majesty, rest assured, if you use the wine to send Master Tong off, she won't feel the slightest bit of pain. It will be as if she's fallen asleep."
"Your Highness." Chang'an's eyes were filled with tears. "Just listen to Eunuch De. Besides, hasn't the Emperor already issued an order saying that Mother was trying medicine on her son and something went wrong? We should fulfill Mother's wish."
There is no doubt that there is a secret behind this pot of wine.
Bei Mingxuan looked at Chang'an helplessly and painfully, and slowly said, "...I'll listen to you."
"Then I will go and see Master Tong?" Eunuch De said respectfully.
"Let's go together." Chang'an supported Bei Mingxuan and walked in front, and they went to Chang'an's yard together. There were already other women living in the yard that was previously owned by Concubine Tong.
In the room, Concubine Tong was lying on the couch, and Su Xi was taking care of her.
"Your servant greets Prince Xuan and Princess Xuan." Su Xi immediately walked over and bowed.
"Get up quickly," Chang'an asked, "How is mother now?"
Su Xi didn't know what to say for a moment, "My master... I can't explain it either. Princess and Prince should go and see it in person."
Upon hearing this, Bei Mingxuan immediately walked towards the inner room, and Chang'an followed closely behind.
Hearing the footsteps, Concubine Tong, who was lying on the couch with a dazed look on her face, smiled, "Is it Xuan'er and Chang'an?"
Su Xi arrived, "Master, the prince and princess are here to see you."
"Help me up quickly." Concubine Tong had a smile on her face, her eyes lingering between Bei Mingxuan and Gu Changan, "They are truly a perfect match. I, Xu Yitong, will be very satisfied to see my son and daughter-in-law in this life."
Bei Mingxuan sighed, but didn't know what to say.
"Slave, little Dezi pays his respects to Master Tong." Eunuch De just bowed, and the two guards behind him had no expression and no intention of saluting.
