The emperor in the palace was extremely angry because the doctors unanimously said that even if the toxins in the emperor's body were removed, he would not be able to return to his original physical condition.
I heard Concubine Rong crying like a ghost and howling like a wolf outside.
He immediately remembered that when he was poisoned, Concubine Rong came to see him.
The little eunuch reported back.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Princess said that she brought witnesses and evidence, as well as criminals, and asked the Emperor to summon her."
The emperor's eyes narrowed dangerously, so quickly! What role does Chu Yunxi play in this?
"Let them in!"
When she entered the emperor's palace, Si Qi and the nuns from the East Palace did not follow her. Concubine Rong was finally free and knelt down in front of the emperor in tears. The evildoer complained first.
"Your Majesty, I am pregnant with your child, which has aroused the dissatisfaction of some people who want to kill me. Your Majesty, it does not matter if I am dead, the child in my belly is innocent."
The emperor looked at Concubine Rong crying with cold eyes. Although he cared about this old man, he cared more about himself.
"Princess, what kind of physical evidence are you talking about?"
Chu Yunxi glanced at Xiaolian beside her. Xiaolian hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down, holding the box of incense above her head.
"Your Majesty, this is the Yang Yanxiang found in Concubine Rong's palace."
Hearing the three words "Yang Yanxiang", the emperor's temples jumped sharply. Just now, the imperial doctors said that he was poisoned by this incense.
Concubine Rong hurriedly defended herself.
"Your Majesty, I am your concubine after all. How could the Crown Princess search my palace so casually? She just didn't want to see my concubine give birth to a prince, so she came to frame me and let her servants pretend to search.
Fan, just say it’s my concubine’s thing.”
Xiao Lian thought to herself, fortunately the Crown Princess had the foresight to find a witness, otherwise she would have been denied by Concubine Rong.
"Your Majesty, together with the slaves and maids, those who found Yang Yanxiang in Concubine Rong's palace were also Concubine Rou, Concubine Guizhou and the nuns in Concubine Hui's palace."
The three nuns stepped forward and knelt down.
"Your Majesty, the old slaves have indeed seen it with their own eyes."
How could the emperor not recognize those people around the imperial concubine? We can't just discuss them all to frame Concubine Rong. The emperor said angrily:
"Concubine Rong, what else do you have to say?"
Concubine Rong was so frightened that she trembled and cried:
"Your Majesty, why don't you think about how the Crown Princess knows everything and seizes the opportunity so well? She must have made a plan in advance to be so connected."
Seeing that the emperor was looking at her, Chu Yunxi was helpless. Emperors have been suspicious since ancient times.
"My father is a maid in Concubine Rong's palace. He accidentally discovered her misbehavior and out of conscience, he reported it to the East Palace. His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, was concerned about his father's holy body. After hearing this, he was furious, so he ordered his daughter-in-law to investigate the matter.
.”
After listening to Chu Yunxi's explanation, the emperor believed most of it. He still had trust in the prince he cultivated. No matter how bad Jun Lingyun was, he would not lower himself to frame his concubine.
Concubine Rong knew immediately who the palace maid Chu Yunxi was talking about.
"Is it that cheap maid Can'er? Your Majesty, that Chan'er was careless and burned my concubine. I only taught her a lesson once, but she harbored a grudge, cooperated inside and outside, and falsely accused me. I am wronged!"
Chu Yunxi continued to present evidence no matter how Concubine Rong cried for injustice.
"Father, Concubine Rong has the smell of Yang Yanxiang on her body now. Please ask some of the nuns to smell it together."
This incense is harmful to men, but has no effect on women. But the emperor glanced at the doctors around him and narrowed his eyes. He had to confirm it himself.
The emperor stretched out his hand, took the box of Yangyan incense presented by Xiaolian just now, and smelled it.
He got off the seat again, picked up Concubine Rong's collar, ignored her frightened eyes, bent down and sniffed her neck, then threw her back to the ground regardless of her pregnancy.
"Bitch! It's all in vain. I have high hopes for you, hoping that you can give me another prince, but you want to kill me!"
Doctor Zhang was frightened, so he quickly poured a small pill and gave it to the emperor. The emperor took it and swallowed it, and looked at Concubine Rong with his chest heaving.
Concubine Rong was already very panicked, but she still crawled to the emperor's feet.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I don't know how that fragrance came to be on my body. Xu is the Crown Princess, and what she did when her nuns in the palace caught me. Yes, it must be like this.
.Your Majesty, you are my concubine’s heaven, how could I think of harming you?”
The emperor tried hard to control his anger and analyzed what Concubine Rong said, which was somewhat credible.
"Someone, bring that Can'er."
He is the emperor and cannot just listen to anyone's words before making a conclusion. He needs solid evidence.
Chu Yunxi was worried that the emperor would punish Caner, so he quickly reminded the emperor.
"Father, the nanny next to Concubine Rong is also an accomplice."
Nanny Song tried her best to shrink to one side, not daring to express her anger, for fear that Chu Yunxi would think of her, but she couldn't escape and fell to her knees.
Concubine Rong secretly turned around and gave Nanny Song a warning look.
While thinking that Concubine Rong was her master who had served her for half her life, Nanny Song also thought about Concubine Rong's indifference when she was beaten in the East Palace. In the end, she could not say a single word.
Since there was a ready-made one here, the emperor naturally had no intention of waiting until Chan'er arrived before interrogating him, and said sternly:
"You are a bold and troublesome slave, why don't you actually recruit him!"
Grandma Song was breathing rapidly and her lowered eyes turned again and again. What should she do? What should she do?
"Mother Song, tell me, I treat you well, but you can't bite me back."
Concubine Rong was also worried. She didn't care that the emperor was in front of her and spoke out to remind Aunt Song. However, the emperor stopped her:
"Shut up! Someone, take this naughty slave down and torture her until she tells the truth!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Seeing the guards approaching, Nanny Song was so frightened that she quickly shouted:
"Your Majesty, Concubine Rong, your Majesty has been wronged. None of your servants have helped your Majesty harm the Emperor."
For the sake of her own life, Nanny Song hid it for Concubine Rong.
Concubine Rong's heart was already in her throat, but then she dropped it. She instantly felt that her back was soaked with cold sweat. She was busy but also crying.
"Father, in order to find out the truth, my daughter-in-law has the courage to say something disrespectful."
The emperor snorted coldly. The couple looked more and more alike. He wanted to hear how disrespectful they could be.
"explain!"
"Then the father must first absolve the daughter-in-law of the death penalty, and then the daughter-in-law can dare to speak."
Chu Yunxi fought for protection for himself, but the emperor was cold-faced, but still agreed, because the emperor was also a human being, and as a human being he would be curious about what Chu Yunxi was going to say.
"allow!"
After receiving the emperor's permission, Chu Yunxi said carefully:
"May I ask my father, how many years has it been since you had no heirs?"
After hearing Chu Yunxi's words, the imperial doctors all tried their best to lower their heads and reduce their sense of presence.
Princess, you really dare to say this, this is related to a man's dignity.
