"Your Excellency, Tokuyoshi Yasuhito has ruined your life, preventing you from ever having your own children again. Don't you hate him? Why are you still willing to compromise so much for him?"
Masako Izumi was stunned, staring intently at Su Ruojin, her voice trembling slightly, "Princess Consort of Great Chu, what do you mean by that?"
"As far as I know, Lady Odai was pregnant with a child, but Tokuyoshi Yasuhito ordered someone to force you to take a strong medicine and abort the child, so that you will never be able to have your own child again in this life."
This is one of the pieces of information that the secret guards have been gathering recently.
Izumi Masako was taken aback by Su Ruojin's knowledge of the matter and was momentarily stunned, not understanding why Su Ruojin would bring it up at this time.
“So…” Su Ruojin paused, then suddenly asked, “You poisoned Deyi Kangren, didn’t you?”
Su Ruojin's words struck Izumi Masako like a bolt from the blue.
During this time, Su Ruojin took the time to look at the booklet of Japanese herbs and poisons that Su Ziyang had given her, hoping to find clues related to Deyi Kangren's poisoning.
On the other hand, regardless of what kind of poison Deyi Kangren was poisoned with, the person who could poison him must be someone close to him.
Within the shogunate, Izumi Masako was definitely among the top people who could both be close to Tokugi Yasuhito and wish him dead.
In this era, most women relied on their sons for status, especially those from powerful families. Who wouldn't want a child to secure their position?
However, Yasuhito Tokugi cruelly deprived Masako Izumi of her right to be a mother, how could she not hate him?
"No, no, no, I didn't, I didn't." Masako Izumi cried out anxiously, her eyes reddening.
The Princess Consort of Great Chu is currently treating the General's body. If De Yi Yasuhito were to hear this, even if it were just a suspicion, Izumi Masako was certain that De Yi Yasuhito would immediately cause her to suffer a sudden illness and die.
Masako Izumi is not afraid of death, or rather, she has long wanted to die, but she cannot die yet because she still has things to do.
"Princess Consort of Great Chu, I truly did not poison the General."
Yes, the general robbed me of my right to be a mother. I hate him, but what can I do?
I was born into a noble family, which was always at odds with the samurai family. I knew this was the outcome when I married into the shogunate.
I have already resigned myself to my fate, so why would I poison the general?
Besides, if I truly wanted to poison the shogun, why would I have toiled away in the shogunate for so many years?
Su Ruojin looked at Izumi Masako, "Then do you want Tokuyoshi Yasuhito to die?"
Masako Izumi choked up, her voice trailing off as she stared blankly at Su Ruojin.
Should De Yi Kangren be killed?
Do you want to or not?
Masako Izumi was momentarily at a loss for words.
Her stunned silence lasted only a moment before she immediately said, "General, you are a highly respected minister of Yamato. I do not wish for your death. If you die, Yamato will fall into chaos."
Seeing the very nervous Izumi Masako, Su Ruojin suddenly smiled, "Since the Imperial Palace doesn't want the general to die, why not do me a favor and let me heal your general?"
Izumi Masako was completely bewildered by Su Ruojin's rambling and disjointed conversation, having no idea what this Princess Consort of Great Chu was up to.
"As long as the general can be cured, I will do my utmost to help." How could Izumi Masako dare to refuse?
Since the Princess Consort of Great Chu still wanted to detoxify the general, she had obviously forgiven him, and her mission was considered complete.
After Izumi Masako left, Xiao Yanchu came to Su Ruojin's side. "How was it?"
Su Ruojin shook her head. "She was not the one who poisoned Deyi Kangren."
That means they are not the potential collaborators they are looking for.
