"Who is deceiving me?" Chu Zhao was completely confused, and his tongue began to tie involuntarily.
I knew Chu Xun was difficult to deal with, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult.
"Oh, you're not fooling me. Could it be that you really think so in your heart?" Chu Zhao nodded with a look of realization, and then frowned blankly, "Then if that's the case, it would be difficult. This
Counting the classics and forgetting one’s ancestors…”
Being so provoked by Chu Xun, and seeing the disdainful looks cast towards him by everyone, Chu Zhao was anxious and angry, and blurted out: "You stinky boy, who said that you forget your ancestors because of your ancestry? If Concubine Xie hadn't said this to me..."
At this point, Chu Zhao suddenly paused.
But everyone heard this clearly.
"Concubine Xie?" Chu Xun raised the corner of his mouth and looked faintly towards the pale Concubine Xie, "Is she asking the Second Emperor's uncle?"
Chu Zhao pursed his lips and his eyes flashed, "I..."
At this moment, Concubine Xie suddenly stood up, "Why did the old prince frame me up? I don't know when I offended you?"
"You!" Before Chu Zhao could finish his words, he was so robbed that his shoulders shook with anger.
Really as stupid as a pig!
Before he even finished speaking, she actually jumped out on her own. Originally, he was thinking about finding a way to help her get through it, but she unexpectedly refused. In this case, why did he care about any friendship at all?
Even if her son really succeeds to the throne one day, with her aggressive temperament today, won't it be a matter of time before the time comes to burn bridges?
Thinking of this, Chu Zhao smiled coldly, "Who else could it be if it weren't you? Who said that the prince is overwhelmed with his responsibilities now and that he may have second thoughts, which may be detrimental to the royal family?"
After saying that, he said to Chu Wei, "Your Majesty, uncle, I was just thinking that no matter who becomes the prince, he will be your Majesty's son. You only need to choose someone with good virtues. How could I accidentally fall into her?"
He was tempted by others, but he is still old and confused after thinking about it. The emperor asked himself to return to his ancestral home for retirement, but if there is someone with second thoughts, your majesty, please find out."
Seeing Concubine Xie slumped to the ground because of his words, Chu Zhao couldn't help but sneer in his heart. He was joking. He couldn't play with this little fox Chu Xun. I want to kill you. Isn't it easy?
How can an ignorant and stupid woman achieve anything great?
Seeing the old fox who had been in jail just pick him out, Chu Xun raised his eyebrows, but said no more, turned to look at Chu Wei, and smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, it's enough here, otherwise
It is my brother who has overstepped his bounds."
The implication is that you handle the rest yourself.
After saying that, Chu Xun patted and shook his sleeves, shook the wine bottle, turned around and returned to his seat, walking with various gestures and graceful movements.
I almost had these ten big characters printed on my forehead: "When things are over, take off your clothes and hide your merit and fame."
A good welcome banquet should be filled with smiles and guests enjoying themselves, but if something like this happened, who wouldn't respond?
Chu Wei looked coldly and glanced at Concubine Xie, "Concubine, what's your explanation?"
Concubine Xie was like a puddle of mud at this moment. When she saw Chu Wei looking at her, she knelt down tremblingly, "Your Majesty, I don't have any concubines. The old prince..."
"You mean, the Second Emperor's uncle framed you?" Chu Wei sneered.
"Concubine..." Concubine Xie was trembling all over, but she didn't know how to answer.
Seeing her vague expression, everyone couldn't help but sigh inwardly, and they understood at least eighty-nine times.
Seeing that the tone of the matter was about to be decided, Queen Mother Xie finally couldn't help it and raised her eyes, "Your Majesty, I am afraid there is some misunderstanding about this matter? The prince also said just now that he is old, so he may have remembered it wrongly.
, maybe I heard it wrong, maybe it’s not someone with ulterior motives who framed the imperial concubine? After all, isn’t there someone who framed the queen? "
After all, everyone still dared not listen to her words.
Even when Chu Zhao was choked by her, the corners of his mouth trembled, but he couldn't find the words to refute for a moment. Who told him to burn all the letters after reading them in order to seek stability?
Chu Wei's eyes darkened, "Mother, this matter is so complicated that it can't be solved with just one sentence?"
He has endured it for so many years and waited for so many days. There is no way he can let his wife and children suffer again today!
Thinking of Murong Qingwan's tragic appearance when she returned to the palace from Dali Temple, where she was seriously injured, Chu Wei now felt his heart aching!
How could Zhong Ling dare to be so ruthless without their instructions?
"Is it possible that according to His Majesty's wishes, the imperial concubine should be imprisoned and investigated? Your Majesty is not afraid of another beating?!" Queen Mother Xie smiled coldly, with a hint of anger evident in her words.
Everyone twitched their mouths and lowered their heads. Everyone could tell that these words made no sense, and it was obvious that they wanted to protect the imperial concubine.
When they thought about what happened to the empress before, the Queen Mother put her in jail without saying a word, and then when they thought about today, the ministers couldn't help but make some comparisons in their hearts.
It seems that he is still of the same lineage as the queen and prince, with good conduct and decent style.
Just when the ministers were thinking that with the Queen Mother's support, they might not be able to end well today, when suddenly another figure stood out from the crowd and stepped forward.
When the ministers saw this figure, the corners of their mouths twitched.
Here comes another one not to be trifled with.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report to you." Mo Tingxian stepped forward slowly under the gaze of everyone. The habits developed from handling cases in recent days made his originally gentle and scholarly look more decisive and murderous.
He was also more fierce than before, but his face... became even more expressionless.
"What's the matter?" Chu Wei narrowed his eyes.
"Originally, I wanted to report this matter after the banquet is over, but now it seems that it cannot be delayed." Mo Dianxian said coldly, "Prime Minister Zhang confessed yesterday. It was indeed him who took in the second prince Qiu Di.
But he was only instructed by the Eighth Prince, and the rest of the things that framed the Queen were not his fault."
From Concubine Xie to the Eighth Prince, the amount of information behind each one is bigger than the last.
Although it has not been said who did it to frame the Queen, it is not difficult to find out by tying together the events that happened during this period, and the actions have already pointed out the truth behind it!
Subconsciously, everyone looked towards Chu Kuo.
But Chu Kuo's eyes were wide open at this moment, with anger and disbelief in his eyes.
"Kuo'er, how do you explain this matter?" Chu Wei's eyes darkened slightly.
Chu Kuo came back to his senses and knelt down with a bang, "Father, this matter is definitely a frame-up by Prime Minister Zhang. It is impossible for me to..."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Mo Dangxian, "These are the evidences that Prime Minister Zhang gave to Wei Chen. They record the causes and consequences of the conspiracy between His Majesty the Eighth Prince and the Prime Minister. Your Majesty, please take a look."
From heaven to hell, it is just a blink of an eye.
