Chapter 192 The Truth
"Ever since our Rui'er... came out, we... have no other thoughts... Now... we just want to live a peaceful life..."
"Why, with just this little bit... you can't even give us a stable life..."
As Concubine Hui was speaking, Emperor Rongcheng had already held her hand.
Concubine Hui used up all her strength to hold Emperor Rongcheng's hand tightly.
"Your Majesty, you... must make the decision for me..."
As she spoke, she lost consciousness, fell backward, and lost all consciousness.
Emperor Rongcheng was startled and quickly hugged her, shouting, "Imperial Physician, where is the Imperial Physician..."
Half an hour later, the imperial physician wiped the cold sweat from his forehead while reporting to Emperor Rongcheng: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine has been poisoned."
"This poison is colorless and odorless, and extremely dangerous. It can kill people if you are not careful. If Concubine Hui hadn't discovered it in time, I'm afraid I would have lost my life."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Rongcheng was furious, "How did she get poisoned?"
The imperial physician was so frightened that cold sweat broke out again.
"Your Majesty...Your Majesty also does not know."
"I have checked everything the Imperial Concubine ate and used, and I haven't found any of this poison. I don't know how the Imperial Concubine got poisoned!"
"Then go check it out!"
Emperor Rongcheng was furious.
"Go and check. If you can't find out, I will take your lives."
Upon hearing this, the imperial physician didn't care about anything else and immediately retreated trembling.
Emperor Rongcheng's voice was very loud, and the Empress Dowager and the others had already heard it.
The Empress Dowager and Shen Hechuan looked at each other, obviously not expecting Concubine Hui to be so bold this time.
Before the two of them could think of a suitable response, they saw Rong Chengdi rushing over, grabbing Shen Hechuan's neck and glaring at him.
"It's you, isn't it?"
"You poisoned her, didn't you?"
"The whole thing about him falling into the water and the false accusations is all fake. I'm afraid they're all after this poison."
The Queen Mother was frightened by the Rongcheng Emperor's appearance. She immediately stood up, pulled the Rongcheng Emperor, and shouted:
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are confused. This is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
However, Emperor Rongcheng at this time seemed not to have heard it and was not moved at all.
Gu Jingchun also looked at the two of them nervously, ready to push Emperor Rong Cheng away at any time.
Shen Hechuan was strangled by the neck, but he was not afraid at all. Instead, he smiled self-deprecatingly.
"Father, is that what you think?"
Emperor Rongcheng looked at Shen Hechuan's face.
His eyes, his expression, and even the upturned corners of his mouth at this moment, all resembled Jiang Xianhao many years ago.
She looked at him the same way then.
Then ask him this.
"Your Majesty, do you think so?"
What did he say then?
He didn't say anything.
But Jiang Xianhao stood up and looked at him coldly, as if he was looking at a stranger.
"If that's what Your Majesty thinks, then let it be so."
What does it mean to act as if it is so?
Emperor Rongcheng's thoughts were confused for a moment.
Those things that he thought were in the past were still deeply imprinted in his mind, ready to give him a blow at any time, making his emotions likely to collapse at any time.
Just when he was on the verge of emotional collapse, a voice interrupted him and instantly sobered him up.
“Shen Wanshan!”
The clear and beautiful voice was filled with anger, causing Emperor Rongcheng to look up suddenly.
"What are you going to do to our son?"
After he finished speaking, Emperor Rongcheng suddenly let go of his hand and immediately took a step back.
At the door, Jiang Xianhao was standing there without knowing when.
She just stood there, looking at Emperor Rongcheng. Although she didn't say anything, Emperor Rongcheng felt a little helpless in an instant.
He wanted to call her, but when he opened his mouth, no sound came out.
Just when he thought Jiang Xianhao would turn around and leave, she suddenly smiled, walked forward, and slowly supported him.
"Your Majesty, you are tired."
She said, "How about you sit down and rest for a while, and leave the rest to me?"
Emperor Rongcheng looked at Jiang Xianhao's smile, was stunned for a moment, and then slowly nodded.
What happened to him just now?
He was so anxious because Concubine Hui was poisoned that he almost strangled his own son to death in public?
Looking at Jiang Xianhao's face, Emperor Rongcheng felt so ashamed that he didn't dare to look her in the eye.
Jiang Xianhao helped Emperor Rongcheng sit down, bowed to the empress dowager, and then turned his attention to Shen Hechuan.
Looking at the pinch marks on Shen Hechuan's neck, her face turned pale, she put her hand on his neck and gently stroked it, and asked softly.
"Does it hurt?"
As soon as the words came out, Shen Hechuan, who was originally indifferent, had red eyes and immediately lay in Jiang Xianhao's arms, crying silently.
Jiang Xianhao held him in his arms.
Tears fell silently.
"It's the Queen Mother's fault. She failed to protect you."
Her voice was choked with sobs as she hugged her kneeling son, as if she wanted to imprint all the belated hugs over the years in her heart.
"Don't worry, this time, the Queen Mother will make the decision for you."
After a moment, Shen Hechuan stood up.
The affection between adults is only for a moment when emotions explode, and then it returns to calm.
Chen Hechuan stood behind Jiang Xianhao, like her armor, ready to charge into battle at any time.
This seemingly weak woman's gaze became firm because of her son.
Jiang Xianhao looked around and his eyes fell on Gu Jinxi. He paused and then turned to look at Gu Jingchun.
She knew Gu Jingchun, but had never met her.
When she saw Gu Jingchun for the first time, her face was shocked. Her eyes widened instantly and she looked at her in disbelief.
Shen Hechuan quickly began to introduce himself.
"Mother, she is Gu Jingchun, my... Xier's mother."
Chen Hechuan paused here, his face flushed instantly, like a shy teenager introducing the girl he likes to his mother.
Gu Jingchun also smiled, and there was a hint of nervousness in his eyes as if he had just met Jiang Xianhao.
Jiang Xianhao saw Gu Jingchun's smile and returned to normal. He smiled and said, "Not bad, she is a good girl."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and looked forward, her face cold, and began to give orders:
"Someone come."
Jiang Xianhao's words carried the unique majesty of a queen, shocking everyone present.
"Take down this imperial physician."
"Capture all the palace servants in Hui'an Palace."
"Go to the Imperial Hospital and call in a doctor."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in Hui'an Palace began to struggle.
Especially the several senior palace maids around Concubine Hui, they immediately shouted:
"Empress, why did you arrest us? It was clearly our queen who was murdered. She is still unconscious. You took advantage of her to bully us servants. What kind of ability do you have?"
