Tokugi Yusei died because of the spirit of the shogunate, which has become a taboo subject for the shogunate.
Yuuki Ono would never dare to say that he would use the snake-kiss hook to make the spirit charm.
Upon hearing Su Ruojin mention Ling Meizhi, Deyi Kangren narrowed his eyes, his gaze towards her becoming more ruthless.
This woman really knows Ling Meizhi!
Deyi Kangren became increasingly certain that it was this woman in front of him who used the snake's snout to create the Spirit Charm and, together with the Imperial Terrace, poisoned his only son!
"I didn't expect that the Princess Consort of Great Chu would know about this Lingmeizhi!" Deyi Kangren didn't even realize that there was a hint of gritted teeth in his words.
"I have always been very interested in medicine. In terms of medicine, there are many differences between Dahe and Dachu, including herbs and various poisons. This Lingmeizhi is a unique poison that Dachu does not have, so I have learned a bit about it."
"Does the princess know how to prepare this Lingmeizhi?" Tokugi Shingo suddenly interjected.
"The difficulty in preparing this Lingmeizhi lies in gathering all the necessary medicinal materials. The preparation method itself is not difficult. If all the materials are available, I will certainly be able to prepare it," Su Ruojin replied generously.
"So it was the Princess who concocted the Spirit Charm for the Imperial Palace, and had her use this medicine to poison my son?!" Deyi Kangren suddenly stood up and questioned sharply.
The Yamato servants inside the room all knelt down at that moment, lying on the ground trembling.
Su Ruojin seemed oblivious to Deyi Kangren's rage, merely glancing at him indifferently and uttering two words, "No."
"No? Your Highness, you dare to do it but don't dare to admit it. The Imperial Household Department has already confessed everything." De Yi Kangren had no reason to believe what Su Ruojin said.
"Oh~" Su Ruojin looked at Deyi Kangren, "General, if I said that the elder brother poisoned you, would you believe me?"
"You're talking nonsense!" Tokugi Shingo also stood up and shouted angrily.
This Princess Consort of the Great Chu actually tried to sow discord between him and her nephew with just a few words. How wicked!
De Yi Kangren, of course, did not believe Su Ruojin's words. "Su Ruojin, my uncle treats me like his own son. How could he poison me! Don't even think about using such despicable means to sow discord between me and my uncle."
Su Ruojin scoffed, "If the general can accuse me of poisoning your son based on just his words, what's wrong with me saying that the elder brother poisoned the general?"
"This is utterly unreasonable! Yutai has already admitted that she poisoned my son. She said she gave you both snake-beak hooks, but now you only have one. The other one must have been made into a spirit charm and given to Yutai."
"You hate my son for humiliating your daughter, so you came up with this vicious plan to kill the Crown Prince!" Deyi Kangren glared at Su Ruojin.
Did the imperial edict give her two snake-snout hooks?
"Virtue, righteousness, health, and benevolence—we, the Great Chu, have an ancient saying: 'If you want to condemn someone, you can always find a pretext.' You've concluded that I killed your son simply because the Imperial Censor said he gave me two snake-snout hooks?"
However, you should be glad that your son was poisoned to death by Lingmeizhi; at least he died a quick death.
"He bullies my daughter like this. If he falls into my hands, I will make him wish he were dead!" Su Ruojin looked coldly at Deyi Kangren.
Su Ruojin noticed a detail: from beginning to end, Deyi Kangren never directly said that the Imperial Palace said that she gave Lingmeizhi.
Xiao Yanchu remained silent, calmly sipping his tea.
Let Ah Jin do whatever she wants; he'll just handle the aftermath.
Upon hearing Su Ruojin say that she would make his son wish he were dead, Deyi Kangren could no longer suppress his anger. He roared, "Su Ruojin, don't think that just because you are the Princess Consort of Great Chu, I won't dare to touch you. Don't forget, this is Dahe, not your Great Chu! Guards!"
The door opened, and more than a dozen warriors rushed out, pointing their long swords at the group.
Su Ziyang and Huanzhi, who were standing behind Su Ruojin, immediately drew their swords and faced each other.
"General!" At this moment, Tokuyoshi Shingo spoke up, "General, don't be impulsive. There might be some misunderstanding here. Why don't we let the Queen and the Imperial Palace confront each other and find out the truth?"
Deyi Kangren wouldn't listen to what others said, but he would always give his uncle some face.
He gritted his teeth, raised his hand, and the warriors all retreated outside.
"In that case, let the prince and princess accompany me to the side courtyard to confront the Imperial Household Department, so that the princess will not say that I have wronged you."
After saying that, Deyi Kangren walked straight out of the house without waiting for Su Ruojin's reply.
This is the Shogunate; whether Su Ruojin and the others go or not is not up to them!
Xiao Yanchu put down his teacup. "Ajin, let's go take a look."
