Chapter 138 Concubine Hua takes action
Of course, compared with the poison that had bewitched the King of Qi, his broken leg was a minor problem.
Anyway, he was under house arrest by the Emperor and couldn't leave the house for the next few months. He had to recuperate at home, and healing a broken leg was a natural thing.
What made King Qi most angry was that Wen Yao had the audacity to put a curse on him and play him around in the palm of her hand, turning him into an irrational tool and almost causing him to lose his life.
No matter how mediocre the King of Qi is, he is still a prince after all, and he has his own temper and pride.
He gritted his teeth and said, "That Wen Yao actually dared to harm me, mother, I will make her pay! I will make her pay the price, no, the entire Wen family should pay the price!"
The hatred in Concubine Hua's heart was no less than that of Prince Qi, but she was able to keep her composure better.
She comforted him, "Don't worry, everything has been arranged. Mother will go back to the palace to find your father and tell him about this matter in advance.
You must remember that you have already angered your father before, so you must be more polite when you admit your mistakes.
You'd better learn from your fourth brother. I think he is very good at playing the victim in front of your father. You should also make yourself look more miserable. ”
The King of Qi raised his injured arm, pointed at his swollen face, and raised his broken ankle. He smiled bitterly and said, "Mother, do you think I need to play the victim in this state?"
I'm already miserable, okay? !
To be honest, the only thing missing was the cut on the King of Qi's wrist which was caused by him losing control.
The slap marks on his face were from Concubine Hua, and his ankle was broken by Gu Chenran...
Concubine Hua coughed lightly with a guilty conscience: "Anyway, that's it. Just pay attention to what I tell you. I'll go back to the palace first."
Then Concubine Hua abandoned her wronged son and returned to the palace first.
It was actually a big taboo for a concubine to leave the palace without permission, but Concubine Hua didn't wait for others to cause trouble for her, she went to find the emperor herself first.
The Emperor was discussing matters in the Imperial Study when he saw his usually proud little peacock, Concubine Hua, rushing in with red eyes, even wiping her tears when she cried.
After Concubine Hua came in, she didn't say anything. She just kept wiping her tears in front of him with a wronged and stubborn look.
The look of crying sadly yet remaining proud is very much like a gardenia that is beaten by wind and rain but still stands proudly.
The Emperor seldom saw Concubine Hua cry like this, and he was immediately stunned. He stood there for several seconds and even forgot to scold Concubine Hua for breaking into the imperial study without informing him in advance.
The emperor put down the memorial in his hand, stood up, supported Concubine Hua and asked, "My beloved concubine, what happened? Why are you crying so sadly?"
Women's tears are weapons. The tears of a woman like Concubine Hua, who hasn't cried for eight hundred years and looks especially beautiful when she cries, are even more like nuclear weapons.
Concubine Hua leaned directly into the emperor's arms, sobbing as if she had found something to rely on.
She cried and said, "Your Majesty, something really outrageous has happened. You must make the decision for me this time."
The emperor had never seen the strong Concubine Hua so vulnerable. After all, they had been married for many years. The emperor was troubled and asked seriously, "What happened to make my beloved concubine so sad?"
The Imperial Study was not the place to discuss such matters, so the Emperor took Concubine Hua to a side hall and asked all the palace maids to leave, wanting to listen carefully to what had happened.
Concubine Hua also laid some groundwork in advance: "Your Majesty, you may not believe what I experienced last night. You may think I am making up a story, but these are all real things..."
Then Concubine Hua recounted everything that had happened last night. She spoke with great emotion but without exaggerating at all.
After she finished speaking, she asked her servants to bring the cup containing the red poisonous insect to the emperor for him to see.
Concubine Hua said, "Your Majesty, look at this. This is the poisonous insect that was taken out from Qi'er's feet. It is hidden very well, like a red mole. If you don't pay attention, you won't be able to find it at all."
To be honest, the emperor was a little bit unconvinced after hearing what Concubine Hua said.
Either Concubine Hua made up this story to exonerate her son, or she was suffering from hysteria and needed to call the imperial physician.
But when the emperor saw this red poisonous insect, because the red poisonous insect looked so strange, with a bright red color that was no different from human blood, and a feeling that made people's backs cold and their hair stand on end, it really made people feel uncomfortable instinctively.
Maybe the emperor is the true dragon emperor, and he has an instinct to suppress these evil spirits, so he is naturally sensitive.
The emperor's first feeling when he saw the red poisonous insect was nausea, and then he felt a strong resistance.
He could clearly feel the strong resentment from the red poisonous insect, as if there were countless evil spirits hiding inside, howling and struggling.
The emperor's expression gradually became solemn and serious: "This red poisonous insect was indeed extracted from Qi'er's feet?"
"It's absolutely true. I saw it with my own eyes. How could I possibly joke about such a thing?" Concubine Hua vowed.
She knew from the emperor's expression that he had believed this matter and had begun to take it to heart.
The emperor really said: "This matter really needs to be thoroughly investigated. If this poisonous insect is really that powerful, more people will use it to harm others in the future. Not to mention the royal family, even the entire court will be in chaos.
Since this poisonous insect was taken out by Princess Chen, did she tell us how to find the owner of this poisonous insect? ”
Concubine Hua was waiting for the emperor to say this. She quickly said, "Princess Chen did mention a method."
Then Concubine Hua told the emperor the method in this way and that way.
The emperor pondered for a moment and said, "Since there is no better way at the moment, let's do what Princess Chen said."
This was also the first time that the emperor had encountered such a magical thing. He was also curious whether he could see with his own eyes something that could not be explained by common sense.
On the other side, in the Dali Temple’s prison.
Wen Yao has been detained for four days, but the verdict on how to deal with her has not yet been made.
The Dali Temple took into consideration that she was the legitimate daughter of Minister Wen and that the Prince of Qi had a special liking for her, so they had to have her.
He only killed a palace maid, so there is a good chance he can get away with it unscathed.
If Wen Yao marries the King of Qi in the future, she will be the Princess of Qi. If you offend Wen Yao now, you may suffer even more in the future.
Even if Wen Yao was imprisoned in a large prison, it was a solitary cell.
The layout of the prison is not very exquisite, but it is equipped with clean beds and spacious tables and chairs.
Three meals a day were delivered by Wen Yao's mother, Liu. Usually, Liu delivered them personally, or else Liu's personal nanny would deliver them.
Although Wen Yao was imprisoned in a large prison, apart from losing her freedom, she did not suffer any hardship at all.
