Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 791 Still Smart

In Feifeng Palace, the empress was sitting on the Arhat bed against the west wall, her eyes were closed at this moment, her expression was peaceful, she was only holding a teacup in her hand, the knuckles of her hands turned white due to too much force.

Hearing footsteps at this moment, the queen suddenly opened her eyes, and saw the nurse next to her open the curtain and come in.

"How's it going?"

The nanny shook her head, paused and said, "The upper and lower study rooms were surrounded, and An Yue couldn't come out, so I really don't know what's going on inside. It's just that when the slaves were looking outside, they saw Shangguan Xu leading him Several imperial physicians hurried in, perhaps..."

The queen's eyes lit up, and then she laughed, "It must be, he must have been poisoned after drinking that ginseng soup!"

"Niang Niang, after all, this ginseng soup is given in your name."

"So what, it's just a bastard, the emperor can kill Bengong for him! Haha, after getting rid of Yan Mu, this throne will belong to the fourth child! Bengong is now the queen, and will be the queen mother in the future. That vixen is so good for the emperor!" So what about petting, how can you compare with Ben Gong!"

The queen was smiling triumphantly when Shangguan Xu arrived with his guards.

"Your Majesty, please move to the Criminal Division."

The Queen's smile was suppressed, and she pretended to be ignorant, "Shangguan Governor, are you joking, what is this Palace doing in such a place?"

Shangguan Xu lowered his head and smiled, "Your Majesty will know when she goes."

"I won't go!" The queen snorted coldly, "If you have anything to say, just say it here."

"Your Majesty doesn't listen to the emperor's orders?"

The queen snorted, "Then let the emperor come and talk to me!"

Shangguan Xu narrowed his eyes, and waved his hand to let the guards in, "Since the queen refuses to go out decently, let's tie her up."

The queen suddenly stood up, "How dare you!"

"Slaves are just following orders."

No matter how the queen struggled and how she reprimanded her, Shangguan Xu still asked the guards to tie her up, and then took her to the prison in the palace.

The queen lost all face and scolded all the way until she came to the cell and saw the emperor sitting in it, so she stopped scolding.

"Your majesty, I don't understand, what do you mean?"

The queen wanted to pretend to be stupid, but she didn't realize that the emperor's anger had reached its limit. He slapped the table hard and cursed at the queen, "Poisonous woman!"

"Your majesty, you, you can't wrong your concubines!"

"The ginseng soup you sent is poisonous!"

"Is there such a thing?" The queen pretended to be surprised, "There must be someone who bought the imperial dining room and poisoned the seventh child. Relying on his identity as the seventh prince and relying on the [-] troops in the north, this child has bullied people a lot outside. , I guess someone took revenge on him."

"How can the empress nanny be sure that she is targeting me?"

Hearing this sound, the Queen's back stiffened, she turned her head bluntly, and seeing Yan Mu walking in, her eyes widened suddenly, "You...you..."

"Thanks to my mother, I didn't drink that poisonous ginseng soup."

The queen clenched her fists, restrained her expression and tried to be as natural as possible, "That, that's really great."

"Actually, the empress wants to harm me, and I can understand it. After all, my existence really hinders the fourth brother. It's just father. You have been married to him for so many years, and you are too cruel."

"What do you mean?"

"What do I mean?" Yan Mu smiled, "What did the queen do, but you want to ask me?"

"You want to blame me for poisoning the emperor!"

Yan Mu sighed, walked behind the emperor and stood still, cast a mocking glance at the queen, then lowered his eyes.

"emperor……"

"Kneel down!" The emperor shouted angrily.

The queen pursed her lips, seeing that the emperor's face was livid, she knelt down first.

"Your maidservant has already confessed, do you want her to confront you face to face?"

"This... She must have been bribed."

"The imperial cook who was bribed by you in the imperial dining room also confessed that he was also bribed?"

"Please, Your Majesty, pay attention."

"Okay, very good!" The emperor nodded and looked up at Shangguan Xu, "The fourth child has been brought."

"It's in the torture chamber."

"Let him tell the truth, if there is any concealment, he will be punished with great punishment!"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the queen became anxious, "Your majesty, he is your son, if he gets hurt, you will have no successor!"

"If you want to murder my son-in-law, what's the use of him!"

"The concubine and the fourth child never thought of murdering the emperor!"

"My bowl of ginseng soup is also poisonous, how do you explain it?"

Upon hearing this, the queen suddenly widened her eyes and said excitedly, "No, it's impossible!"

"Fortunately, the Shangguan Duzhu caught the maid and asked the truth, otherwise the father and I would have been poisoned and died." Yan Mu sighed, pretending to be sad, "I always know that your mother hates me, but Father, why do you hate him so much, is it because he dotes on Noble Meng and makes you jealous?"

"you!"

"Tsk tsk, that's it, it shouldn't be so cruel." Yan Mu shook his head and said.

The queen took a few breaths to calm herself down, she lowered her eyes, and said: "Your Majesty, please think carefully, if I really want to poison, poisoning the seventh child is enough, and only the fourth child is left under your knees. The throne will belong to him sooner or later. And the current situation in the court, the fourth brother can't hold it down at all, if I harm you, it is equivalent to harming myself and Lao Tzu, I will not do such a stupid thing."

What the queen said after calming down contained some truth, and the emperor really listened to it.

He thought for a while and said, "Can you admit that you poisoned Lao Qi?"

The queen pursed her lips, "The concubine... admits it, but the concubine only ordered them to poison Lao Qi's bowl of ginseng soup, maybe they got it mixed up!"

The evidence was right in front of her, and she couldn't help it if she didn't admit it.

"You, you are so courageous!" The emperor shouted angrily.

"The concubine has made a mistake, please the emperor punish him, but this matter has nothing to do with the fourth child, he doesn't know, please don't implicate him with your anger." The queen kowtowed repeatedly.

The corner of Yan Mu's mouth twitched, admitting that poisoning him was a lesser crime than poisoning the emperor, especially since he didn't die, and the emperor might have made a big deal smaller in order to take care of the royal family's face.

The queen's recklessness is a bit reckless, but not too stupid.

The emperor thought about the queen's words, and his anger gradually subsided.

"You're so confused."

"The concubine gave birth to three sons for you. The eldest and the third son passed away one after another, leaving only the fourth son. The concubine is also eager to love her son. I beg the emperor to forgive me. The concubine knows my mistake. There is also the seventh son, I am sorry , but Bengong is your aunt after all, so you can help Bengong speak well to the emperor."

Yan Mu almost laughed angrily, she wanted to poison him and asked him to help her to say good things, this queen is really thick-skinned, but she is also really smart, if he doesn't care, the emperor will naturally go downhill when he sees his attitude, not I got to the bottom of it.

Yan Mu changed his mind, turned his head and said to the emperor: "Father, the life of my son is not to be cherished. As long as the empress does not harm you, it is not a serious crime. I beg the father to forgive the empress, and I will do it for you." The national system, and secondly, it is also for the harmony of our family."

The emperor turned his head to look at Yan Mu, and nodded in relief, "You are sensible now, not in vain of my father's teaching these days."

"Then let's not pursue this matter."

"I can't ignore it, so I'll punish the queen for three months of self-examination behind closed doors."

"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Fourth Highness has confessed that the Queen conspired with him to poison you and His Highness the Seventh Highness. He advised the Queen, but he didn't want the Queen to listen, and said that this matter had nothing to do with him."

Just as the emperor finished speaking, Shangguan Xu came in to report and interrupted him.

"So it's not a confusion, but she really wants to poison me!" The emperor gritted his teeth.
