Reborn as the first poisonous concubine

Chapter 548
Just when all the ministers, including Xiao Heng, thought that the death of Captain Chen Guang meant that the Xuanwu King Xiao Zhao's case of delaying military rations was over, the Shangshu ordered Shen Rui to finally investigate the case in the shortest possible time. The truth came to light.

And the truth of Xiao Zhao murdering Luoyang King Xiao Jingyao, colluding with the Northern Wei Dynasty, and intending to seek power and usurp the throne also surfaced one by one!

Just when Xuanwu King Xiao Zhao was caught off guard, Shen Rui personally led the Yulin Army to search for evidence of treason from the Xuanwu Palace.

Princess Xuanwu is the one who directly sued King Xuanwu!
With witnesses and physical evidence, King Xuanwu Xiao Zhao could not refute it, and even his subordinates confessed everything Xiao Zhao ordered him to do!
Shen Rui followed the clues, not only found out several courtiers who were attracted by Xiao Zhao, but also colluded with Xiao Zhao long ago, even in the palace, there was Xiao Zhao's eyeliner!
As soon as Xiao Zhao's attempt to seek power and usurp the throne was exposed, it not only caused an uproar in the court, but also made Xiao Heng so angry that he fainted.

Who would have thought that Xiao Zhao, the emperor's younger brother whom he loves the most, the empress dowager's most beloved son, who tried his best to bury his faults, would covet his throne a long time ago? !

He has always been wary of the tyranny of his relatives, wary of civil and military officials, but he never expected that it was his relatives who wanted to usurp the throne!
He almost gave Xiao Zhao all the good things, but he didn't expect that what Xiao Zhao wanted most was that high throne, the throne that looks down on the world!

The empress dowager's exhortations are still echoing in his ears, and Xiao Zhao's once innocent smile also comes to his mind from time to time. In the blink of an eye, everything changed. Xiao Zhao's face suddenly became hideous. He took out the dagger he had given him, and stabbed him mercilessly.

Xiao Heng opened his eyes suddenly, only to realize that he had had a nightmare, and the eunuch in charge Chen Rong, and Concubine Lu Gui, were all standing by his side, looking at him worriedly.

"Your majesty, you are finally awake..." The eunuch in charge Chen Rong and Concubine Lu breathed a sigh of relief, Chen Rong hurriedly helped the emperor to stand up, and Concubine Lu carefully brought a cup of ginseng tea for Xiao Heng.

Xiao Heng took a sip of the ginseng tea, then slowly came back to his senses, and asked in a low voice, "What time is it?"

"It's already the fifth watch, your majesty, you have been unconscious for several hours..." Chen Rong was afraid for a while when he thought of the situation where the emperor fainted because of a sudden attack of anger.

Although the imperial doctor also came to see him and prescribed a tonic for the emperor, but the emperor has not woken up, how can he be at ease as an eunuch? !
Even Concubine Lu Gui, who is in charge of the harem now, didn't have the heart to stay in her bedroom and wait for the news that the emperor woke up, so she purposely stayed in front of the emperor all night.

"What do you think, Your Majesty? Why don't you call the imperial doctor to show you?" Concubine Lu Gui also asked with concern.

Xiao Heng waved his hand, not forgetting why he was so anxious, he said quietly, "Where is Xiao Zhao?"

The eunuch in charge, Chen Rong, knew that the emperor would definitely ask Xuanwu King Xiao Zhao when he woke up. He dared not hide anything, and was afraid that the emperor would be angry again. Your majesty punishes you..."

Xiao Heng got up from the bed. Seeing this, Concubine Lu Gui hurriedly put on a cloak for him, and softly advised: "Your Majesty, it's more important to be healthy, be careful not to catch a cold..."
