With that said, the group wanted to bow down to Chu Xuanchen and Yun Ruoyue again.

Yun Ruoyue hurriedly supported Concubine De and said, "Everyone, please get up, don't be too polite, you are not wrong, you should not have been given death."

Chu Xuanchen also said: "Don't worry, when this king is here, this king will never let anyone hurt you again."

Hearing what the two of them said, everyone was moved to tears.

At this time, Concubine Shu came over, wiped her tears, and said, "His Royal Highness Li, Concubine Li, my son, Prince Rui, did this to you back then. I didn't expect you to ignore the past and save us. I know that what happened back then, It's all his fault, and please allow me to apologize to you on his behalf."

"Concubine Shu, the deceased is gone, the past is over, don't take it to heart." Yun Ruoyue comforted her.

She did not expect that when they rescued Concubine Shu this time, Concubine Shu would be grateful to them.

After all, Concubine Shu had been blaming them for a long time because of the death of Prince Rui.

At this moment, Concubine Shu pulled out an eight- or nine-year-old boy from the crowd, and said, "Princess Li, Eunuch Xu wanted to strangle even Zixi to death just now, but fortunately General Mo came in time and cut off Eunuch Xu's hand. The white cloth that saved Zi Xi's life."

As she said that, she looked at Chu Zixi and said, "Zixi, Wang Ye and Wang Fei are your saviours. Come and thank them."

Chu Zixi hurriedly stepped forward, gave Yun Ruoyue and Chu Xuanchen a respectful kowtow, and said, "Thank you, Wang Ye and Wang Fei for saving your life."

"Get up quickly!" Yun Ruoyue hurriedly helped him up, looked at Concubine Shu again, and said hesitantly, "So this is Zixi, she has grown so big, what about his mother? Is she in the palace? "

Concubine Shu sighed and said, "Qingqing finished dealing with Ruochen and Jingyi's funeral, then cut off Hongchen and went to the temple to shave or become a monk! So, I will raise Zixi alone."

"It turns out that it's really a pity." Yun Ruoyue said, looking at everyone again, and quickly said, "By the way, are you the only surviving concubines in the palace? What about Concubine Xuegui and the Empress?"

Concubine Shu said: "Concubine Xue Gui went out of the palace with the emperor. As for the queen, Eunuch Xu did not dare to touch her for the time being, so she is still in the cold palace, she is fine."

When Yun Ruoyue heard this, she glanced at Su Ming next to her.

The queen is Su Ming's younger sister, and Eunuch Xu probably did not kill the queen for Su Ming's sake.

At this time, Chu Xuanchen looked at Eunuch Xu and said solemnly, "Eunuch Xu, how many concubines did you kill?"

At this time, Eunuch Xu had already been escorted to the ground by the soldiers.

He looked at Chu Xuanchen with a very frightened look on his face.

He did not expect that the Li King, who had been demoted to Nanyue for a long time, would come back, and he also drove away the enemy and recaptured the city.

Seeing Chu Xuanchen, he thought of the way this man used to deal with him.

He was so frightened that he shivered and hurriedly said, "My lord, the servants have dealt with more than fifty concubines and concubines in the past few days. However, these are all orders from the emperor, and the servants only follow orders, and the servants have no choice but to do so!"

Chu Xuanchen said in a cold voice, "Have no choice? You followed the tyrant, helped Zhou, and did a lot of harming things. It's a heinous crime. Do you think you can get away with a last resort?"

"My lord, the servants didn't help Zhou and did nothing wrong..." Eunuch Xu said hurriedly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Concubine De stepped forward, pointed at him, and said sternly, "Eunuch Xu, do you dare to say that you didn't do anything wrong? Isn't it you who poisoned the late emperor back then?"

As soon as these words were said, they slammed into the hearts of everyone like a boulder, and a pool of lake water was startled.

Chu Xuanchen immediately looked at Concubine De and said solemnly, "Concubine De, what did you say?"

Concubine De patted her chest nervously, and said: "My lord, since the emperor has left us and ran away, and he doesn't remember his old feelings, he wants to ask Eunuch Xu to execute us. Then, I think the truth of the past should be revealed to the world. It's time!"

"What is the truth, tell the truth." Chu Xuanchen's tone was very calm, and his appearance was also very calm.

But Yun Ruoyue could see that the tips of his fingers were trembling, and there was a trace of grief in his eyes.

Concubine De looked at the crowd, then lowered her eyes, and said, "Back then, Eunuch Xu was an eunuch who served personally by the late emperor's side, but he was actually bought by Chu Yao long ago. At that time, the late emperor was infected with the cold, and then Chu Yao Yao summoned Eunuch Xu to Prince Yao's mansion and asked Eunuch Xu to add a chronic poison called strychnine to the emperor's medicine for colds."

"What?" Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

Concubine De Concubine continued: "If this toxin is only administered in a small amount, it will not be easily detected and the symptoms will not be severe. However, if it is administered frequently, the emperor will soon be severely poisoned, and then he will die from breathing difficulties. At that time , Eunuch Xu took the opportunity of serving the late emperor to put a little poison in the medicine of the late emperor every day, which caused the late emperor to be chronically poisoned and his body deteriorated. People who didn't know the inside information thought that the late emperor's symptoms were caused by the worsening of the wind and cold. In fact, this is not the case at all. The late emperor was simply poisoned by the stryker, and he died in the end."
