Chapter 457 You
Although the emperor was angry, he was dead after all, so he couldn't blame the queen in front of so many children and concubines.
"Since it's the queen's own fault, this matter... just forget it, don't need to mention it again." The emperor said.
King Lu refused to give up. He knelt down in front of the emperor and said, "Father, although the queen mother took too much Hanshi powder by mistake, the reason is that the prince sent peonies, which made the queen mother panic... This matter cannot be ignored.”
Zhao Yuanjing said: "King Lu, if you want to break it, you straighten your tongue and speak. You mean to say that because I sent peonies to the empress, she took the medicine angrily?"
"This is what Yuan Ji saw with his own eyes!"
"So what if she sees her?" Zhao Yuanjing faced the emperor and said, "Father, my son is just filial. There is absolutely no other intention."
The emperor thought about it, and felt that King Lu was making trouble for no reason.
It would be ridiculous if the queen broke down and wanted to commit suicide just because the crown prince sent some flowers.
"Third son, I know how sad you are when your mother passed away. But, don't talk about others at will." The emperor said, "Taking care of your mother's affairs is a serious matter."
Zhao Yuanjing said: "Speaking of which, there is one thing that I find very strange."
"What?" asked the emperor.
"The empress has been staying in Fengyi Palace, never going out. Where did she get the cold food powder, or did someone give it to her on purpose?"
Zhao Yuanjing's words immediately aroused the same doubts among many people.
Those dudes outside made friends with foxes and dogs, and were hooked and led to eat cold food and powder, that's all. What is the identity of the queen? Staying in Fengyi Palace all day long, why shouldn't she be infected with such evils? So she asked Biyan, "Who instigated the queen to take Hanshi powder?"
Bi Yan said: "Yes...Chu Zhaoyi sent some cold food powder last month, saying that it can cure the headache of the empress. The empress didn't believe it, but one night the pain was unbearable, so she took a little , it really works."
"Chu Zhaoyi?" The emperor turned his head.
Chu Zhaoyi was already trembling with trepidation, and was almost scared out of her wits. When she heard the emperor's voice, her legs couldn't stand still, and she knelt down with a plop.
"Come here," said the emperor.
Chu Zhaoyi crawled over trembling, put her head on the ground, and said in a trembling voice, "I am here."
"Say." The emperor looked at her coldly.
"Zun, Zunzhi... The empress's cold food powder, indeed, was indeed sent by my concubine."
As soon as Chu Zhaoyi finished speaking, King Lu kicked her to the ground and said angrily, "You bitch!"
Ming Xuan trembled in fright.
She wanted to hold King Lu back, but she couldn't.
The emperor said displeased: "Third son, I haven't finished asking, what are you in a hurry for?"
After all, Chu Zhaoyi is the emperor's woman, and she can be regarded as the elder of King Lu. It is too unruly for him to attack Chu Zhaoyi in front of the emperor and everyone. The emperor naturally didn't like it.
However, King Lu has been dazzled by anger.
He wished he could tear Chu Zhaoyi down directly.
Chu Zhaoyi cried and said, "This concubine really didn't intend to harm the empress, but I just heard people say that my empress has a headache recently, so she just wanted to share the worries of your majesty... I really didn't know that it would become like this, concubine Even with ten heads, I dare not harm the empress!"
Zhao Yuanjing accurately captured the information in her words, and asked: "Chu Zhaoyi said, did you hear it from others? Who told you?"
