The emperor's plan: to rule the world

Chapter 196
Chuning paused.

Looking up at the cold and ruthless man in front of him, the cold and sharp aura exuding from all over his body exuded a palpitating cruelty.

"What did I do wrong? Why did Your Highness send me to Zhao Prison?"

No one in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty dared to intercede at this time.

They watched Qin Shu give the order and Chuning questioned, and their eyes quietly fell on the delicate and precious jade cicada.

"Why?"

Qin Shu smiled faintly, and his eyes fell on him, as if looking at an ant: "You poisoned and murdered His Majesty, how dare you ask me why?"

As soon as these words came out, all eyes in the hall fell on Chuning.

How could the second son of the Chu family, whom His Majesty likes, poison His Majesty?

"Impossible." Chu Ning's face changed: "I didn't poison His Majesty, His Majesty is slandering me."

Qin Shu seemed to predict that he would not admit it, and said lightly: "The imperial doctor said that His Majesty was poisoned, a chronic poison, this injury triggered the toxicity hidden in the body, and you—"

He looked down at him, as if looking at a dead person, his eyes were indifferent: "This jade cicada contains venom, and His Majesty wears it every day, and he was poisoned without knowing it. What excuse do you have?"

Chu Ning sneered: "Your Highness is under the status of one person and above ten thousand, and all the court officials are under His Highness's control. Of course, His Highness will be what he says."

Qin Shu narrowed his eyes slightly, but did not answer his words.

Raising his hand, the jade cicada in his hand was crushed into powder little by little, and fell down, followed by a little colorless and transparent liquid——

The strong fragrance of flowers spread in the hall.

Everyone's complexion changed suddenly, subconsciously held their breath, and stepped back involuntarily.

Rong Hua stepped forward, took out the liquid in a small bottle and poured it on the small water beach.

The fragrance of flowers gradually fades at a perceptible speed.

Qin Shu looked at him coldly: "I guess you don't know, is there poison hidden in this jade?"

Chu Ning's face turned pale, and he stared blankly at the pool of water stains left on the ground, and murmured, "This is impossible..."

Qin Shu frowned, he didn't want to see him anymore: "Press it down."

Chu Ning was taken aback for a moment, realizing his dangerous situation, and gritted his teeth: "I really don't know about this, let alone poisoning Your Majesty."

Qin Shu narrowed his eyes: "Do you mean that this palace wronged you, or do you want to say that this palace deliberately framed you?"

Chu Ning looked up at him: "I don't know that the jade hides poison, and I have no reason to murder Your Majesty."

Qin Shu's eyebrows and eyes were filled with coldness, looking at the gentle nobleman in front of him, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Anyone who tries to harm His Majesty deserves to die.

Thinking about the recent change in Her Majesty's attitude, Qin Shu had reason to suspect that he had done something to make His Majesty sad, which caused His Majesty's attitude towards him to change drastically.

If that's the case...he's even more damned.

"Whether you know it or not, Dali Temple will naturally find out the truth...put it down."

Seeing the shadow guard approaching, Chu Ning suddenly stood up and looked at him coldly: "I want to see Your Majesty."

Qin Shu's eyebrows darkened.

After a while, he said calmly: "Second Young Master is so courageous."

No one could ignore the piercing coldness hidden in the indifferent tone of voice. Chuning's eyes fell on him, and he quietly clenched his fists.

Inside the Zhangtai Hall, you can hear the drop of a needle.
