Now that the matter has come to this, it can be said that the truth has been revealed.
No matter how Chu Kuo tried to quibble, he could not escape the connection.
Seeing that the way Chu Wei looked at him was no longer as loving as before, Chu Kuo finally sneered and shook his head.
He didn't expect that the foolproof situation that he had planned would end in such a disastrous ending.
What I didn't even expect was that the only variable in this was Zhang Tailiu!
Zhang Tailiu, how dare he say those words?
He had already agreed. As long as he resisted and refused to admit it, and waited for this matter to pass, he would take him out as soon as possible. Didn't he know that once he admitted it, he would really be doomed?
What exactly went wrong?
Zhang Qingjiu didn't even say anything about what happened today. What kind of outrage was Zhang Tailiu making?
"Kuo'er, are you really doing these things?" Chu Wei's voice was both majestic and tired, and more... it was obvious disappointment.
There was silence in the hall.
It's quieter than ever.
The candlelight burned and made a crackling sound, sparks jumping one after another, like the last leap before death.
Chu Kuo slowly raised his eyes and glanced at Queen Mother Xie and Concubine Xie. He felt regretful but more unwilling.
He really didn't know how he could lose.
But, who else can save him today?
Chu Kuo took a deep breath, opened his eyes, looked at Chu Wei and sneered: "Father, son..."
"Your Majesty!" At this moment, the stunned Concubine Xie suddenly rushed out and said excitedly: "Your Majesty! It's wrong, it's all wrong! The person Prime Minister Zhang was talking about was not Kuo'er! She was a concubine! Those letters were...
I wrote it in the name of Kuo'er, but Kuo'er doesn't know anything! Has Your Majesty forgotten? Kuo'er's calligraphy was taught by my concubine, and Kuo'er has never made any mistakes! The matter of the second emperor's uncle was also my concubine, he
You’re right, it’s my concubine who’s wishful thinking, and it’s my concubine who’s the one who commits rebellion! Even when I gave the Kan map to Qiu Di and injured General Wei, it’s my concubine too!”
"Concubine?!"
"Mother concubine?!"
Three voices sounded almost at the same time, Chu Wei, Queen Mother Xie, and Chu Kuo's eyes fell on Concubine Xie, with disbelief in their eyes.
But soon, these views changed.
Queen Mother Xie took a deep look at her and then looked away without leaving any trace.
There was shock, surprise, and worry in Chu Kuo's eyes, but there was a hint of... luck.
Only Chu Wei was shocked, but also a little sad, "How could it be you? What can you do?"
Concubine Xie narrowed her eyes, glanced at where Empress Dowager Xie was, and sighed softly, "Your Majesty may have forgotten that once when I came into the palace, I heard that the late emperor had discussed with the Empress Dowager about General Wei.
She has worked hard and has only one daughter. If she becomes the queen, it will be a good choice. I have grown up with your majesty since I was a child. I have already admired your majesty. She is so beautiful. If she becomes the queen, I will be a good choice.
There was no chance at all. At that time, I thought that if the Wei family disappeared, she would naturally not be able to be the queen. Who knows... Even if it weren't for her, His Majesty still doesn't like me, and the position of queen still doesn't exist.
Not my concubine."
"You actually..." Upon hearing this, Chu Wei suddenly paused.
Everyone was also shocked.
Love, a major national issue, was actually caused by a woman's jealousy?!
However, just as everyone was waiting in shock for Chu Wei to speak, they saw Concubine Xie suddenly take out a dagger from her arms and plunge it into her heart with lightning speed!
"Mother Concubine!!" Chu Kuo frowned, jumped up, and was about to rush towards Concubine Xie, but then he seemed to think of something and stopped.
"Concubine?" Chu Wei took a breath, got up and got off the dragon chair.
The hall started to become noisy.
Concubine Xie was vomiting blood at the moment and looked gloomy. When Chu Wei helped her up, she spat out a mouthful of blood.
Reaching out to grab Chu Wei's sleeve, Concubine Xie smiled bitterly and begged: "Your Majesty, I have done something wrong and I am willing to be punished and die to apologize!"
Chu Wei's eyes were complicated and he sighed deeply, "Why are you doing this?"
"Your Majesty, it has been so many years. For the sake of so many years...for the sake of the fact that my Xie family has also made great contributions to Dahui...don't take your anger out on Kuo'er. He did what he did to me."
I don't know anything about it." Concubine Xie said as blood spurted out from her mouth and wounds, dyeing Chu Wei's clothes a large red.
The imperial doctor came over quickly, but after making the diagnosis, he knelt on the ground and shook his head.
The knife penetrated too deep and caused too much blood. There was nothing we could do to save him.
Chu Wei looked at Concubine Xie in his arms and recalled how she had chased him when he was a child. He couldn't help but sigh softly, and finally nodded silently.
Seeing him agree, Concubine Xie seemed to be relieved, with a smile on her lips. She looked away from Chu Wei's face with nostalgia and turned her head to look aside.
Not far away, there was Chu Kuo, who was still three feet away from her.
Looking at Chu Kuo's complicated face, Concubine Xie smiled, blinked her eyes, and spat out a few words silently.
The crowd was in chaos, and no one noticed when Chu Xun walked to the empty seat next to Zhang Qingjiu and sat down.
The two of them didn't even look at the panicked crowd, and seemed to be aloof from the incident.
"What did she say?" Chu Xun picked up the wine glass in his hand with waning interest and looked at the girl beside him.
"Those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters." Zhang Qing took his own wine from Chu Xun's hand without raising his head, and drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing her drinking like this, Chu Xun was a little bit dumbfounded, "I was asked by others to stop drinking. If you continue to drink like this, how can I do anything?"
"Does he care about me?" Zhang Qingjiu snorted softly, his face turning red.
"It seems that you are really drunk." Chu Xun twitched the corner of his mouth and sighed faintly, "Otherwise, with your temperament, you should have acted in this big drama by yourself."
"I don't know what the big show is." Zhang Qingjiu curled his lips and rolled his eyes.
Chu Kuo touched his nose and became more and more dumbfounded, "You are said to be drunk, but you are very sober. Now you are picking yourself up completely. I am afraid that if I go out now and say that you planned this matter in advance, others will also look for it."
Not even a little bit of evidence, right?"
"There is no plan in advance." Zhang Qingjiu shook his head and continued to refill himself a glass, "It's just... a simple deduction, and an insatiable understanding of some people. It's nonsense... you are still young,
If you don’t understand, don’t worry.”
Chu Xun: "..."
The corner of his mouth twitched, and Chu Xun said helplessly, "Then you just let it go? You've been busy for a long time and ended up at Concubine Xie's place?"
"Absolutely." Zhang Qingjiu curled his lips, "Just do it step by step. Cats don't like catching mice all in one day."
Giving a little hope in despair, and then letting the hope fail, is far more painful than directly making people despair.
Seeing Zhang Qingjiu's half-sober and half-confused look, Chu Xun couldn't help but sigh quietly, "I'm very glad now that you're interested in our Lan'er."
Otherwise, he will be killed by this little fox sooner or later.
"Falling in?" Zhang Qingjiu muttered, chewed the two words in his mouth twice, and said angrily: "I dare not look down on you."
Every soul and soul is in him, no one dares to look down on him.
How could Chu Xun know what Zhang Qingjiu was thinking about? He could only hear a bit of the anger of his little daughter when she had a tantrum at home. He touched his nose and said, "In this matter, you two should each take a step back. Previously,
He didn't know, but now he doesn't..."
"What did he do?" Zhang Qingjiu raised his eyebrows, "Did he make amends with me or apologize? Wandering around, who knows what he is doing wandering around every day?"
Chu Xun's eyes lit up, "Then what do you mean..."
"I don't mean anything." Zhang Qingjiu snorted lightly.
The imperial concubine committed suicide because of her crime, so no matter how good the banquet was, she could only give up at this moment.
Looking at the ministers who were starting to leave, Zhang Qingjiu patted his robe and stood up. Suddenly he seemed to have remembered something, "By the way, I have something to tell you."
"Say." Chu Xun nodded casually, still thinking about how to tell his stupid nephew.
"My mother... and the Prime Minister have made peace." Zhang Qingjiu burped, shook his head, and walked back.
Chu Xun stared blankly for a long time. It wasn't until the swaying figure walked out of the door that he seemed to react and followed him ecstatically, "Hey, I'm afraid Mr. Xiao Zhang is drunk.
The king gives you a ride!"
In the hall, Chu Lan, who was about to get up and walk out, paused, looked at Chu Xun's back and narrowed his eyes slightly.
