Reborn obediently be a tyrant Bai Yueguang

Chapter 69 Concubine Xiao Shu

Hearing what she said, Chu Xun understood.

"That's how it is!"

"Then... in this way, this tripterygium is the poison that caused the empress dowager to be poisoned!"

Ji Jiaoyue nodded, "Yes, my lord."

Speaking of this, Ji Jiaoyue asked again.

"By the way, my lord, didn't you tell me two days ago that you had already had someone monitor all the empress dowagers before she was alive? You also had someone investigate, so... what's the result?"

Hearing what she said, Chu Xun answered.

"I have found the person who drugged the Empress Dowager!"

"Perhaps, many people think that the person who poisoned the Empress Dowager is someone who has access to the decoction, pours the medicine, or serves the Empress Dowager to drink the medicine, but these are not!"

After hearing his words, Ji Jiaoyue was a little confused.

"My lord, then...who could it be?"

After a pause, Chu Xun finally answered.

"It's the person who tests the Empress Dowager's medicine every day!"

Hearing what he said, Ji Jiaoyue recalled it.

That's right, every time the Empress Dowager drinks medicine, there will be someone who will test the medicine for her first, and she will drink it after nothing happens.

"My lord, you are so powerful. In just a few days, you have already been able to find out who it is!"

Hearing this, Chu Xun sighed.

"Hey, it's a pity, the empress dowager has passed away, and the dead cannot be resurrected!"

Seeing his somewhat sad expression, Ji Jiaoyue couldn't help feeling a little unbearable.

She herself is a reborn person, and she knows what will probably happen in the future.

If I let him be careful about the Empress Dowager's medicine in advance, then...

The Empress Dowager may still be rescued!
Thinking of this, Ji Jiaoyue blamed herself even more.

She was lost in thought when Chu Xun pulled her and walked aside.

"Hush! Someone is coming over here!"

Ever since, the two of them hid in a corner beside them.

Not long after, a sound of pushing the door came.

Soon, there were two footsteps approaching the inside.

Through a little gap in the curtain, Chu Xun saw that it was none other than the Queen and Concubine Xiao Shu!

What are the two of them doing here?
Soon, the two of them began to pay homage to the Empress Dowager.

The queen said while lighting the incense.

"Hey, Empress Dowager, it's really early for you to leave! I haven't even had time to fulfill my filial piety! Why did you die..."

Ji Jiaoyue noticed very keenly that the word she used was "dead" instead of words such as death.

Is it possible...

Does the queen also hope that the empress dowager is dead?

However, if you think about it, the queen is the biological mother of the second prince Chu Zeyan.

The death of the empress dowager was also Chu Zeyan's responsibility, so... the queen empress must be inevitable.

She was thinking in a trance when Concubine Xiao Shu's voice came again.

"Sister Queen, now that the Empress Dowager is dead, shouldn't you and I be happy?"

"You know, when the empress dowager was alive, she targeted us sisters a lot, especially you sister. She even suggested to His Majesty that she should abolish you as a queen!"

There was some irony in her words.

The queen naturally understood what she meant.

So, the queen fought back unceremoniously.

"Then...my sister has been disappointed for a long time! Not only has I never been abolished, but I still sit firmly on the throne of the queen!"

"Besides, now that the empress dowager is gone, there is no one who can defend the status of the palace. The palace will always belong to the queen. Those who want to replace the palace are probably delusional..."

She deliberately bit the four words "wishful thinking" a little bit harder.

Obviously, she was talking about Concubine Xiao Shu, who had been wishful thinking!

Concubine Xiao Shu was not to be outdone, "Now, the empress dowager is gone, and the person who can really control the power of the harem is still unknown! It may not be you, sister queen!"

"This... maybe at some point, my sister's queen position will be replaced..."

Hearing what she said, the queen was very angry.

"Concubine Xiao Shu! Do you know what you are talking about? I am the queen! How dare you..."

Before she finished speaking, Concubine Xiao Shu interrupted her.

"What is the empress anxious about? What the concubine said is not wrong."

"Besides, the empress's second prince is not welcomed by the emperor, but the third prince is welcome. However, the third prince hangs out all year round..."

In this way, the two of them argued for a long time.

I don't know how long it took before the two of them left.

Ji Jiaoyue saw that Chu Xun's expression was not very good-looking, so she asked worriedly.

"My lord, are you alright?"

Chu Xun waved his hand, "I'm fine."

"It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's go out first!"

……

After walking out, Chu Xun seemed to think of something suddenly, so he told Ji Jiaoyue again.

"By the way, Xiaoyue, you can't tell anyone about this, for the sake of your own safety."

Ji Jiaoyue nodded, "Don't worry, my lord, I understand."

After a pause, Chu Xun said again.

"I always feel that the death of the Empress Dowager is not that simple. I must find out the matter completely!"

Ji Jiaoyue nodded, "I believe my lord, you can do it!"

Speaking of this, Ji Jiaoyue became a little curious again.

"However, my lord, just now, I heard the conversation between the Queen and Concubine Xiao Shu. What is the origin of that Concubine Xiao Shu? She doesn't seem to respect the Queen at all..."

Hearing what she said, Chu Xun answered her.

"The reason why the queen can become a queen is because of her natal family's strong background, and she gave birth to two princes, Chu Zeyan and Chu Zeqi. A prince is the most honorable."

"A mother is more expensive than a child, so her status will naturally be stabilized a lot!"

Hearing this, Ji Jiaoyue nodded, "Then... where's Concubine Xiao Shu?"

Chu Xun smiled, "As I told you just now, His Majesty's first son after ascending the throne will be Concubine Xiao Shu's eldest prince!"

"Besides, when it comes to the background of her natal family, Concubine Xiao Shu's natal family is not bad. More importantly, Concubine Xiao Shu will be more favored by Your Majesty than the Empress."

"In the entire harem, apart from the empress and noble concubine, Concubine Xiao Shu is the highest ranking concubine..."
