Chapter 89 Son
Instinctively, Chu Yun wanted to go and take a look, so he climbed down the rockery in no time. When he reached the entrance of the Yu Garden, he suddenly stopped.
If it was really Xiaoqi who died, it would be useless for him to go there now. Moreover, the people who killed him put the body in the most conspicuous place. Maybe it was to lure him, or one of them?
I wonder how Xiaowu and Xiaoliu are doing?
But Xia Zhi's words made him more alert. After all, if something happened to him, his godmother would definitely be very sad. In order not to cause trouble for his godfather, he should protect himself.
Chu Yun gritted his teeth, looked at the place where the strange little corpse was placed, and returned to the rockery.
Compared to the bustle of Yangxin Palace, Lady Xia's garden was really lifeless. Not only was there no one guarding it, even the eunuchs and palace maids could not see it.
Chu Yun crawled in quietly.
Before he could go inside, a cold weapon was pressed against the back of his neck.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?" A deep female voice came from behind.
Chu Yun thought for a moment, "I saw people being arrested outside, so I wanted to hide inside."
"People are being arrested outside?" the person behind muttered, "Then do you know where this is?"
"Of course I know. This is Miss Xia's atom. In our circle of subordinates, we all know that Miss Xia is as good as the Xia family. She is not only kind but also helpful." Chu Yun flattered the other party first to see if he was one of them.
But after Chu Yun spoke for a long time, the other party didn't respond.
Chu Yun frowned. If she didn't curse, she couldn't be an enemy, right? How could he let her speak?
"Sister, can you please be kind and let me hide for a while, okay?" Chu Yun said.
"It may not be safe for you to hide here. Besides, don't you know that Concubine Xia has been under house arrest by the emperor for a long time?" said the woman behind him.
"It's safer to be under house arrest. When Doctor Xia was treating my wounds just now, I was still worried about Miss Xia." Chu Yun said and raised his injured hand.
The woman behind him grabbed Chu Yun's hand and said, "It's exactly like your method, come with me."
Chu Yun followed the woman around in circles and finally entered a room. The room was pitch dark and the woman knocked on the table several times.
After a while, the seemingly flat ground under the table was pulled open a little.
"Who is he?" asked the woman below.
"He said he had just seen Doctor Xia. Why don't we go in and ask him some questions?"
The woman below looked up and said, "Little boy, you are not allowed to lie. If you lie, you will not get out alive."
Chu Yun nodded.
As he spoke, he pulled Chu Yun down, and the ground soon returned to normal.
As soon as Chu Yun entered, he found Xia Lu. Although it was the first time they met, he felt a sense of familiarity.
The maid who brought Chu Yun in whispered a few words to Xia Lu, and Xia Lu came over to look at his wounds.
"My father handled it. How is he?" Xia Lu asked.
"He was locked up with me before. Later, I heard that Prince Lu was poisoned, so they asked Imperial Doctor Xia to detoxify him, and then several eunuchs took him away." Chu Yun replied.
"Prince Lu, how could he be poisoned?" Xia Lu said, glancing in the direction of the recliner. There was a person lying on the recliner, but from Chu Yun's angle, he couldn't see the face clearly. He could only tell that it was a man.
Isn't Lady Xia the emperor's concubine? That man?
Chu Yun didn't dare to think about it anymore and hurriedly answered Lady Xia's question.
"Doctor Xia speculated that Prince Lu was poisoned by a golden needle in a copper box."
"Cough cough cough~" The man on the recliner started coughing violently. Xia Lu hurried over to calm him down and brought him a glass of water.
Only then did Chu Yun notice that Lady Xia's wrist had also been bandaged, and it was obvious that she had bled.
"Empress Xia, are you injured too?" Chu Yun asked hurriedly.
"I'm not the queen yet, don't call me that." Lady Xia had a faint smile on her face and glanced at the man on the recliner.
"Doctor Xia just gave me a bottle of hemostatic medicine. Please see if it works." Chu Yun took out a porcelain bottle and handed it over.
Xia Lu waved her hands, but before she could say anything, the man on the recliner spoke up, "The golden needle will come out only when the copper box is opened. Has Prince Lu already opened it?"
"It was only half opened when I left, and Prince Lu seemed to have forced the other half open, which resulted in his face being scratched by the golden needle." Chu Yun said truthfully.
"Impossible, you're lying!" The man slapped the armrest of the recliner hard, emitting a chilling chill.
"I, Chu Yun, swear to heaven that every word I said is true!"
"Are you Chu Yun?"
The man on the recliner and Xia Lu spoke at the same time, and at the same time, the man turned his head.
"emperor?"
Chu Yun knelt down hurriedly. Although the man in front of him had a pale face, he was indeed the emperor.
Yang Junyi waved his hands, "How did you get into the palace? Where are your godfather and godmother? How did you open the copper box? Tell me in detail."
Chu Yun started from the moment Xia Xue fell into a coma due to the poison, to how General Jiao brought them into the palace, and to how Prince Lu of Yangxin Palace forced the emperor to abdicate. He recounted every detail.
When talking about Xia Xue's coma, Xia Lu was anxious and wanted to interrupt, but Yang Junyi didn't dare to say anything. So Chu Yun added that he hadn't gone back yet and didn't know about his godmother's situation for the time being.
Xia Lu looked at him gratefully, stepped back and continued listening.
"You mean that your blood and the blood of the emperor in Yangxin Palace flowed into the copper box, so the copper box was half opened?" Yang Junyi's eyes lit up.
"Yes, the situation was urgent at that time, and I didn't think much about it. I grabbed the dagger. Maybe because my blood contaminated the emperor - no, the blood of the emperor in Yangxin Palace, I only opened half of it. But Doctor Xia said that I opened that half." Chu Yun scratched his head. Was there something wrong with the copper box? How could he open it?
"No one can pretend to be the royal blood of the Yang royal family." Yang Junyi stared at Chu Yun, his bronze eyes seemed to be spewing fire, but this kind of fire was mostly filled with love?
Chu Yun shook his head hurriedly, wondering if he was crazy. Why would the emperor have such feelings towards him?
"Your Majesty, what should we do now?" Xia Lu asked softly.
"The guy from Yangxin Palace can't open the copper box. If it's Chu Yun..." Yang Junyi paused and suddenly felt that Chu Yun's surname was particularly annoying.
"If what Yun'er just said is true, then it is very likely that you are my son." Yang Junyi patted Chu Yun's shoulder.
Chu Yun's legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.
Is God playing tricks on him? First he was a beggar and vagrant who had no food to eat, then he became the illegitimate son of the Prime Minister, and when the misunderstanding was resolved, he became the Prime Minister's adopted son, and now he is going to be the crown prince!!!
Each of his fathers is more powerful than the last.
