Chapter 351 The Emperor’s Heart Is Ruthless (4)
Someone outside answered, heard a few orders, and then felt as if the carriage was turning around.

"Didn't we arrive at the gate of the palace? Why did you go to the first place to eat?"

"It's nothing, I just want to eat out with you." Yuan Xi wrapped a small lock of hair in front of Jingyi's temples around her fingertips, and gently twirled and caressed her.

Jingyi looked at Yuanxi's eyebrows, and seemed to have a slightly sad expression, "But what's bothering you? Tell me."

Yuan Xi pursed his lips and smiled, "I can't hide anything from you. It's news from the capital."

"Oh? What's the news?" Jingyi's whole body suddenly became energetic.

"About the concubine mother."

Jingyi was startled when she heard the words, and sat up, "But what's wrong with the concubine mother?"

Yuan Xi closed his eyes and shook his head, "That's not true. Concubine Mu's body is already recovering."

Jingyi breathed a sigh of relief, "Then why are you still so worried?"

Yuan Xi opened his eyes, and glanced at Jing Yi, those eyes seemed to be filled with a lot of helplessness, as well as a lot of resentment!

"Do you know that the concubine's illness this time is not really ill."

"Didn't you mention last time that before we left Beijing, Concubine Mother's body was already healed. But what did someone do to Concubine Mother's meal?"

Yuan Xi shook his head again, "When I first received this news, I felt that it was extremely inappropriate. I always felt that there was something wrong. Although the mother and concubine were not favored very much in the palace, it was because she looked the same as she did back then. Concubine Li resembles her concubine Li, the emperor still takes good care of her, at least, if concubine mother doesn't want to see someone, that person will not be able to enter concubine mother's Fushou Palace."

"You mean to say that it's not that you tampered with the concubine's diet?"

Yuan Xi sighed softly, "A few days ago, the emperor rewarded my concubine with some fine brocades! They all come from Jiangnan! Concubine mother ordered some new clothes to be cut for herself."

"Is it the emperor?"

Yuan Xi's eyes were lightly closed, and the moment she closed her eyes, Jing Yi obviously felt the deep pain in Yuan Xi's eyes!Thinking about it, although Concubine Shu was not close to Yuan Xi, but she cared for him so much, and now she was assassinated by the emperor, such a fact, I am afraid that it is personally unacceptable.

"Yuanxi, are you okay?"

Yuan Xi didn't open his eyes, but shook his head lightly, "Yiyi, tell me, how could I have such a cold-blooded and heartless father!"

Jingyi fell silent, she really didn't know how to comfort Yuanxi.His life was so miserable, he lost his mother when he was born, and finally got a adoptive mother, but because of him, he was implicated, causing Concubine Shu to lose her favor!Now, in order to constrain Yuanxi, the emperor even attacked his adoptive mother!Such a heartless and ruthless emperor really makes people feel a little cold when they think about it!
Just like what Yuanxi said just now, although this Concubine Shu has lost her favor over the years, but because she looks exactly like Concubine Li back then, she has always been quite peaceful!I thought that the emperor was thinking about Concubine Li's love back then, or that Concubine Shu was used as a substitute to accompany the emperor for so many years, but I didn't expect that the emperor would be so cruel. Did you give up?

"Yuanxi, I know you're feeling uncomfortable, so just scold if you want! Anyway, we are closing the city now, and the emperor's ears haven't stretched out that long yet!"

Yuan Xi smiled wryly, and opened those dark eyes, "Yiyi, do you know? Sometimes I really feel that my life in this world is superfluous. If there is no me, the concubine mother will definitely gather thousands of people. The one who loves you all over the body! How can there be such pain now?"

Jing Yi lowered her eyes, lightly shook Yuan Xi's hand and said, "Then Yun Jin was poisoned?"

Yuan Xi nodded, "The brocade has been poisoned with a chronic poison. If it is only placed in the house, it will be better. But the poison on the brocade will spread to the whole clothes once it meets water, and But this kind of toxicity, once it meets the incense in the concubine's room, it will be completely triggered. After twelve hours, this kind of toxicity will invade the human body, and there is no more toxicity on the clothes .”

Jingyi was silent. She used to be with Qingtian often, so she naturally knew that there were many strange poisons in this world, but she always thought that these harmful things were far away from her. It was used on Concubine Shu!No matter what, he was also his pillow!It really is the most ruthless emperor's family!

"My lord, the 'first floor' is here." The voice of the first day of the junior high school came from outside the carriage.

"Understood," Yuan Xi said, and quickly adjusted his demeanor, the sadness and depression just now were gone.

The two entered the private room on the second floor, and after sitting down, Xiao Er served several signature dishes one after another after a while.

Jingyi turned her head and said to Chuyi and the others: "You don't need to serve here, you go down and take turns guarding, let's eat."

Chu Yi, Si Hua and others withdrew from the private room, and only Yuan Xi and Jing Yi were left in the room.

"Yuanxi, let's get something first. Come, try this piece of sweet and sour pork ribs." While talking, Jingyi put a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs into Yuanxi's plate.

Yuan Xi smiled, picked up the rib, put it in his mouth, and said lightly: "It tastes really good. Let's eat together."

Neither Jingyi nor Yuanxi made a sound. After a few mouthfuls of food, Jingyi put down her chopsticks, looked at Yuanxi who also put down her chopsticks, and said, "How did you know this? You are also from the Dark Pavilion." Find out?"

"This time, among the people I sent to the concubine's side, there was a person who was proficient in poison. She didn't think of this at first, but then she accidentally discovered that the brocade clothes on the concubine's body were the same as those on the brocade cloth in the warehouse. The taste is slightly different, so I discovered such a clever method of poisoning."

"Indeed! Such painstaking methods of poisoning are really clever, and ordinary people will not notice it at all."

"Then what's going on now? The poison on the concubine mother has been cured?"

"It's solved. This kind of poison is not easy to find. If it is found, it is not difficult to get rid of it. Although the emperor has been dissatisfied with me for many years, he has never laid hands on the concubine mother. But this time."

"Perhaps, it's because the emperor noticed that your current power is gradually growing, so he became suspicious. Speaking of it, we are too impatient, and we shouldn't be so anxious to deal with Baishi and Song Hao!"

Yuan Xi shook his head, "Not necessarily! It is inevitable to get rid of them. The emperor has long been dissatisfied with me. This time, it is mainly because the virtuous king has arrived in northern Xinjiang."

Jingyi's heart moved, "You mean, the emperor wants to force you to hand over all the forces in northern Xinjiang?"
