Chu Yue was very smart and didn't say much after begging for mercy.
Emperor Zhao Chu's expression was gloomy, his eyes were cold and sharp, and he did not respond to Chu Yue's begging for mercy.
The imperial study suddenly became quiet.
Xie Yao's eyebrows were like razor blades, tightly knitted together.
Emperor Zhaochu did not refuse, but chose to remain silent, which was not good.
At this time, Lieutenant Liang fell in a pool of blood, his body still not cold.
Seeing this, the queen narrowed her eyes slightly, walked slowly to Emperor Zhaochu, and said softly: "Your Majesty, Yue'er is still a child, and it is inevitable that he will do something wrong. Since you have taught him a lesson, he will definitely change his ways.
.”
"Besides, he and Princess Minghui are about to get married. If he is deposed as a prince at this time, how will the wedding proceed? Your Majesty, please think twice!"
The queen's voice was not loud enough for Emperor Zhaochu to hear clearly.
After hearing this, Emperor Zhaochu narrowed his eyes deeply and glanced at Chu Yue.
Chu Yue lay on the ground respectfully and remained motionless.
He knew that his mother's intervention would definitely make his father change his mind!
At such a critical moment, he didn't need to do anything.
There was silence in the imperial study room for another moment before Emperor Zhaochu's cold voice sounded, "What the queen said makes sense."
"King Yue, in view of your upcoming wedding, I will write down your punishment for the time being! If you don't want to repent in the future, I will remove your status as a prince and demote you to a commoner as soon as possible!"
The loud and cold voice echoed through the imperial study. Xie Yao's heart instantly sank, and her eyes were cold, full of bloodthirsty and cruelty!
Demerit?
This is no different from getting away with it!
Lieutenant Liang tried so hard and even risked his life, but Chu Yue was actually acquitted!
She raised her head and looked at the overjoyed Chu Yue, with an endless storm in her eyes!
Suddenly, there was a warmth on my shoulders, and then I met those black eyes. The coldness in my heart was dissipated a lot, but it was still strong.
Seeing that Xie Yao's eyes were slightly red, Chu Han shook his head almost imperceptibly.
Xie Yao nodded, and after sweeping across Chu Yue with a razor-like gaze, he lowered his gaze.
She won't take any action in the imperial study, but she won't give up.
When Chu Yue heard what Emperor Zhaochu said, he was overjoyed and said quickly: "Thank you very much, Father, for your kindness! I will definitely remember my father's teachings, examine myself three times every day, and change my past mistakes!"
Sure enough, the mother's intervention was effective!
The corners of the queen's mouth were slightly raised, with a proud smile in her eyes.
"I'm a little tired." Emperor Zhaochu withdrew his gaze and waved his hand impatiently, signaling the queen and Chu Yue to leave.
"Concubine, please retire." The queen bowed Yingying, glanced at Chu Yue, then turned around and walked out gracefully.
When passing by Xie Yao, he glanced down and kept walking.
Chu Yue also quickly saluted and left with the queen.
Lieutenant Liang framed him in this way, which almost caused him to be deposed as a prince. Fortunately, his mother finally turned the tide and came back, and he felt like he was surviving the disaster!
This feeling made him not even pay attention to Chu Han and Xie Yao, and left quickly, for fear that if he took a step too late, his father would regret it!
But before leaving, he glanced at Taiwei Liang's body with cold eyes.
Soon, there was no sound in the imperial study room again.
At this time, only Xie Yao, Chu Han, and Emperor Zhaochu were left in the room.
"Aren't you leaving yet?" Emperor Zhaochu said coldly, his tone even worse than when he treated Chu Yue, and his eyes were so cold that it felt like he was immersed in ice water.
"I have something to do with you. I hope your Majesty will give you permission." Xie Yao spoke slowly, with no hint of anger or unwillingness in her tone. She was very calm.
"What's the matter?" Emperor Zhaochu's tone became increasingly impatient.
"The daughter of the people remembered that Princess Minghui was poisoned and suspected that it was the daughter of the people who poisoned her. The daughter of the people was not talented and knew some antidote recipes, so she was willing to give it a try. However, the daughter of the people was worried that Princess Minghui would refuse to cooperate, so she asked the emperor to issue an edict
, assign a civilian girl to detoxify Princess Minghui." Xie Yao spoke slowly.
"You want to detoxify Princess Minghui?" Emperor Zhaochu's cold eyes condensed with a scrutinizing gaze, and he narrowed his cold eyes slightly.
The implication is that you were at war with Princess Minghui at the inn, but now you want to take the initiative to detoxify?
"Exactly." Xie Yao leaned forward slightly, with a calm expression, and a cold look in his eyes, "It is said that it is better to resolve enemies than to make enemies. After we all marry into the royal family, we will be considered a family. It is best to resolve the misunderstanding as soon as possible."
Emperor Zhaochu looked at Xie Yao deeply for a long time, and finally nodded, "Okay, I promise you. Eunuch Liu, draw up the decree!"
"Yes!" Eunuch Liu responded and immediately went to prepare.
"Remember, if you dare to make a fuss about my imperial edict, you will commit the crime of beheading! When the time comes, I will no longer care about the child in your belly, and I will kill you without mercy!" Emperor Zhaochu stared with cold eyes.
Xie Yao, murderous intent flashes.
"Daughter of the people, thank you, Your Majesty." Xie Yao bowed slightly, ignoring Emperor Zhaochu's pressure.
Soon, the imperial edict was written, and Xie Yao took the imperial edict and left the imperial study with Chu Han.
After Chu Han and Xie Yao went out, Emperor Zhaochu stared intently and ordered: "Come here, call me the commander of the Royal Forest Army."
…
Xie Yao and Chu Han left the imperial study and headed towards the palace gate.
"Are you going to detoxify Princess Minghui?" Chu Han's black eyes deepened and he looked at Xie Yao.
"The poison is not fatal. Even if it is not solved, there is not much effect left. Instead of waiting for the effect to run out, it is better to make good use of it while the effect is still there." Xie Yao said, with hot flames dancing in his eyes.
"However, their siblings have been poisoned for several days. Over the past few days, the symptoms of the poisoning have no longer worsened significantly, and have even been alleviated. Princess Minghui was smart enough to quickly guess that the effect of the medicine was about to expire."
Chu Han raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, "That's why you asked your father for an order to detoxify, so that Princess Minghui can't refuse?"
"It's easy to enjoy the shade by leaning against a big tree. If you don't make use of the existing resources, that's what a fool would do." Xie Yao sneered.
She knew that Princess Minghui would notice it, but she just wanted Princess Minghui to have to accept it even though she knew it!
Accept the punishment for everything Liang Zhixian did!
She no longer needs to kill chickens to scare monkeys, but needs to pay with blood!
Chu Han felt the coldness coming from Xie Yao's body, and hugged Xie Yao tighter, "I will accompany you when the time comes."
"No." Xie Yao leaned firmly in Chu Han's arms, feeling Chu Han's warmth and support, but shook her head and refused.
"Why?" Chu Han asked, still holding her hand quietly and not letting go.
"There is another culprit who needs to pay for what he has done. I need you to restrain him." Xie Yao narrowed her eyes slightly.
"Do you think he is leaving the capital?"
"No, he wants to avoid me, maybe even hide in the palace and not go out. Because he knows that my father will let him go, but I won't." Xie Yao stared coldly.
Last time, she did not initially intend to poison Chu Yue, so what Chu Yue swallowed was not poison.
