But at this moment, he was kicked in the chest.
Chen Yunzhi wailed and lay on the ground for a long time without being able to get up.
"Gu Yanwei, how are you?" Shen Qingqiu, who had hurried back, saw this scene and her eyes turned red with anger. She hurriedly patted Gu Yanwei's face, but he looked confused and obviously unconscious.
"Qingqiu... Qingqiu..." He even came over and hugged her.
Shen Qingqiu was an expert in this area, so seeing him like this, there was nothing he didn't understand.
"You actually gave him such a vile medicine. He treated you like a relative." After glaring fiercely inside, Shen Qingqiu immediately shouted, "Tu Jiu."
Tu Jiu came in immediately from outside, "Hold the emperor, let's go."
"yes."
“Don’t leave!” Chen Yunzhi jumped up from the ground in fear. She looked at Shen Qingqiu pitifully, “My lady, the emperor is the ruler of a country, how can you be the only woman… And what Nanny said is right, ordinary families are unfilial and the worst is to have no descendants, let alone the royal family?”
"The emperor loves you and treats you so well, you should consider the emperor even more!"
Shen Qingqiu smiled coldly, squatted down and lifted Chen Yunzhi's chin, "You are right. If I were a woman who understood the greater good, I should have left him behind at this time and asked you to take good care of him."
When Chen Yunzhi heard her words, she thought she had a chance and her eyes lit up.
"But I'm not a woman who understands the big picture. Chen Yunzhi, you still have her accounts to settle—" She pointed at Madam Kong inside, "When he wakes up, I'll settle them all one by one!"
"Tu Jiu, let's go!" After saying that, the two of them left together.
Chen Yunzhi hurriedly put on her clothes, stumbled back into the house, and cried in fear: "Mammy, Mammy, did you hear that? She's going to cause trouble for us!" After being threatened by Shen Qingqiu just now, Chen Yunzhi didn't want to think about anything else now, "Mammy, forget it, I don't want to enter the palace anymore, I'd better hurry to the capital to find my brother!"
"No, you can't leave!" said Madam Kong.
Chen Yunzhi thought she was determined to drag herself to death, so she begged, "Mammy, please let me go for the sake of my brother's care for you in your old age!"
Madam Kong glanced at her angrily, "You useless thing. If I really let you go now, wouldn't that be incriminating yourself?"
"This whole world belongs to the king. Where can you escape to? To your brother, that is in the capital, and even under her nose!"
Chen Yunzhi made her fall to the ground after hearing what she said, "What should I do... Mammy, you must save me!"
Madam Kong looked at her with dismay, "When did I ever say I wouldn't save you?"
She was not a cruel person. She had watched Chen Yunzhi grow up over the years. It was just a pity that although this girl was obedient, she was still too timid. Otherwise, if it was the situation just now, Shen Qingqiu would not have had any chance. Madam Kong only put the reason for all the failures on Chen Yunzhi's inability to let go.
She said, "Don't worry. I have taken care of the emperor since he was a child. He shouldn't mind if I explain this matter a little. But don't even think about entering the palace again. I will find you a nobleman to marry."
At this time, Chen Yunzhi still had no intention of entering the palace. As long as she could save her life, she would be grateful.
Madam Kong then told her about her plan, and asked Chen Yunzhi to say that she had thought the wrong way and that she did so only to fulfill Madam Kong's wish.
"Mammy!" Chen Yunzhi saw that the good method Mammy Kong suggested was to push herself out to die, so she naturally didn't want to do it.
Madam Kong glanced at him and said, "Then you can tell the emperor that you and I conspired to drug him. Let's see what the emperor says then." Chen Yunzhi looked scared. Madam Kong could only say, "Silly child, why don't you understand? Only by saving me can you be saved. Otherwise, if the emperor doesn't even trust me, who can speak up for you?"
Chen Yunzhi closed her eyes. "That's all I can do. I'll listen to you, Madam."
Shen Qingqiu and the others didn't know what the two people had decided.
The spices that Gu Yanwei had been poisoned with were not serious, and Shen Qingqiu did not plan to use other methods to detoxify him. He asked Tu Jiu to carry him into the room, and fetched a bucket of cold water, and then added ice to it. Since his mind was not clear, adding a few pieces of ice should make him sober.
Anyway, my illness has been cured long ago, and I am not as sickly as before, so it won’t hurt to soak in cold water for a while.
The spice was not extremely strong, and Gu Yanwei had actually sobered up long ago.
But Keren still stayed in the ice bucket silently.
"You have always valued that Nanny Kong. Now that something like this has happened, the decision is in your hands. I will not do anything. But there is only one thing. If you want to take Nanny Kong to live with you in your old age, I absolutely disagree." She knew how much Nanny Kong meant to Gu Yanwei, so Gu Yanwei would naturally not take her life for such a thing.
But having such a person around, Shen Qingqiu really felt disgusted.
Gu Yanwei smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Qingqiu, who do you think I am? Since something like this has happened, even if it's not for you, I will never let her stay by my side." If she can use such a vile trick this time, what will she do next time? Once you are unfaithful, you will never use it again. What's more, even if it's not me, what if it's someone close to me?
Gu Yanwei just couldn't understand, how could Kong Mama, who used to take care of him in the cold palace, become like this? She had gone through so much hardship back then, why did Kong Mama become like this now that she was living a good life and he became the emperor? Gu Yanwei closed his eyes, not understanding why? "It's not your fault." Having known each other for many years, Shen Qingqiu knew Gu Yanwei's character.
He seemed to be deep-minded, but deep down in his heart he reserved a huge space for the people he trusted. What Nanny Kong did was undoubtedly a blow to Gu Yanwei's heart.
"Could it be that the murderer should be blamed on the person who was killed for the murder and arson?" Shen Qingqiu said: "People's hearts are fickle, this is not something you and I can control."
"It's good now, actually. Since you found out, it's been exposed early. Maybe there won't be so much trouble in the future.
Gu Yanwei closed his eyes, "I understand."
Fortunately, it is not too late now, and no major disaster has occurred. No matter what the reason was for Grandma Kong, sending her away now is good for both himself and him.
Early the next morning, before daybreak, Gu Yanwei went to Madam Kong's place.
There were still some stars in the sky, so he stood at the door of Madam Kong and asked softly, "Madam, are you awake?" Such a quiet scene inevitably reminded Gu Yanwei of the scene in the palace more than ten years ago. At that time, there were only him and Madam Kong in the huge bedroom.
Kong Ma always stayed by his bedside, asking him how he was feeling. Not long after, a coughing sound came from inside.
It was Chen Yunzhi who supported Madam Kong, and the two came out together. Chen Yunzhi supported Madam Kong and knelt on the ground, "This child was so depressed that she did such a thing. I thought about it and couldn't sleep all night, so I wanted to take her to apologize, but I didn't expect that Your Majesty would come early."
If Gu Yanwei was blinded by a leaf in the past, he now seemed to have removed the barrier in front of his eyes and could see everything clearly.
If Madam Kong really wanted to bring Chen Yunzhi to apologize, why did she have to wait for him to come before coming out?
Is it really a coincidence?
Maybe Gu Yanwei would have thought so before, but not now.
The last bit of warmth in Gu Yanwei's eyes faded away. He looked at Chen Yunzhi beside him and said, "So, yesterday's events were all your idea?"
Chen Yunzhi felt uneasy at his cold gaze, but thinking of what Madam Kong said yesterday, she still kowtowed to the ground and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me... I just saw that Madam Kong was old and seriously ill, and I didn't want her to suffer from heart disease all the time, so I did this. Your Majesty, if you want to punish me, please punish me. It has nothing to do with Madam Kong."
This is what Nanny Kong taught her yesterday. If she takes all the responsibilities on herself, the emperor might even think that she is a loyal and righteous person.
Madam Kong on the side also cried and said, "How could you, silly child, do such a thing? I brought you here, how can I escape responsibility for your doing such a thing?"
Chen Yunzhi was nervous, afraid that she had misjudged the expression on Gu Yanwei's face. She followed Madam Kong's performance of crying and holding her head in her hands, but she did not dare to look at him at all.
But Gu Yanwei suddenly smiled coldly, "Really? You admit everything?"
Chen Yunzhi suddenly felt something was wrong, but she still nodded with her neck stiffened.
"Okay." Although Gu Yanwei had a smile on his face, there was no smile in his eyes. "I originally thought that I would need to investigate for a while, but since you admitted it directly, it saves me time to investigate. Come on, put Chen Yunzhi in jail immediately. She secretly drugged me. Since she admitted it, she will be executed later!"
Chen Yunzhi looked up suddenly. Now she didn't even need to pretend.
"Your Majesty, no, it's not me—" She was extremely shocked and tried to grab the corner of Gu Yanwei's robe, but he dodged her.
Execution in autumn!
Thinking of what Gu Yanwei had just said, Chen Yunzhi's eyes almost burst out. No! Why should she be executed later? This is totally different from what Madam Kong said! "Madam Kong, please save me. I have done everything you said. What should I do now? Madam, please save me. I don't want to die!" Chen Yunzhi went to beg Madam Kong. When a person is facing death, all his ugly behaviors are revealed.
She cried so much that her nose and tears were snotting, and she no longer looked like the pretty girl she was when we first met.
Nanny Kong closed her eyes and looked at Gu Yanwei again. Sure enough, there was no warmth in his eyes when he looked at her, but more of scrutiny.
