Chapter 833 - weave
Xia Chu recalled that when he asked what happened that night in Xianyu Palace, Lan Yuying once said that when she questioned the emperor, the emperor’s complexion was extremely complicated, but she still admitted it herself.
Who can make the emperor protect him and take full responsibility for himself, except for the queen mother who is kind to him?
“Besides the head of the Miao family, there was also a man named Miao Heng who was rescued by Concubine Li. This person is now locked up in the prison of Dali Temple. I have already tried it. Concubine Li rescued him. In order to keep him and make incense.” Xia Chu didn’t say Concubine Li’s love for Gu Shiqing.
As an emperor, you can be careless about women in the harem, but as a woman of the emperor, you can’t be tempted by other men.
Concubine Li was dead, and Xia Chu didn’t want to embarrass the emperor.
Besides, he didn’t want to know this kind of private and unspeakable royal secrets.
The sternness in the emperor’s eyes gradually faded, and his face showed a look of surprise. After a moment of stunned, he suddenly laughed at himself: “No wonder I can always smell the slightest thing on Concubine Li’s body, but I am still with you. From the similar fragrance on the body.”
Xia Chu moved to the side where he collapsed, with a look of hope in his eyes: “Your Majesty, the people of the Miao family were not killed by your order, right?”
The emperor lowered his eyes in silence, and finally nodded.
Xia Chu breathed a sigh of relief and asked, “What happened back then?”
The emperor picked up the teacup and took another sip: “I fell in love at first sight back then, although I learned that she was a wife, I still couldn’t help going out of the palace to see her from time to time. This unusual behavior was finally discovered by the queen mother, and the difference was The forbidden army went to arrest. Ali revealed his true identity in order to protect the lives of the Miao family. It was only at that time that I knew that she was actually the empress who fled from the Western Regions.”
Xia Chu’s brows tightened: “The queen mother and the emperor will never let her white teeth, just believe it?”
The emperor put down the tea cup, and the shaking tea leaves flew when she was shelving: “She has the certificate of being an empress, Yuanyangshi.”
Xiao Mubai frowned slightly: “The mandarin duck stone that is said to be able to dissolve the poison of all things in the world and reshape people?”
The emperor nodded slightly: “Yes, it is the mandarin duck stone. She threatens the queen mother in her own identity. If the Miao ethnic group is killed, she will die with Miao Lin. At that time, the Western Regions and Xiao Guo, who are not in conflict with each other, will meet each other.”
Xia Chu sighed slightly. Although Yue Xinli’s remarks were well-intentioned, it was tantamount to reminding the Queen Mother to cut grass and root out.
“When I heard the news and arrived, only Miao Lin was left to kill. I rescued Miao Lin, and killed all the forbidden troops who arrested Miao’s incense shop, and reported it to the Queen Mother. Everyone has been killed, and I hope she will leave Yue Xin to die. The death of the Miao family incense shop is small, but if the empress of the Western Regions really died in Xiao, it would be no small matter.”
The emperor’s expression was very embarrassing: “Although the queen mother is not my biological mother, she has always loved me very much. If she hadn’t supported her, I would not have been able to ascend to the throne. Over the years, that was the only time I disobeyed her. It was also the first time I begged her. Later, she promised that I would not kill Yue Xinli, but she must also be under house arrest for life. The Empress’ presence in the Xiao Kingdom’s palace must not be leaked. All the people involved were silenced back then, and I used Miao Linyi. Life was exchanged for mandarin duck stones.”
When Xia Chu saw him looking at Xiao Mubai, he suddenly realized: “Is this mandarin duck stone used on Mubai’s body?”
The emperor pursed his lips, but the answer seemed to be false: “Yes, and no.”
Xia Chu’s eyes lit up: “Half of it?”
The emperor looked sideways at Xia Chu, and nodded approvingly: “Ali hid the mandarin duck stone outside the city, she insisted that only Miao Lin get it, and I asked them to meet once, in order to ensure that Miao Lin can I only gave half of my life, and Miao Lin gave the other half a year later in order to ensure that Ah Li could live.”
Xia Chu’s mind suddenly flashed across Bai Ruofei’s mind, and Bai Ruofei once said to him that although the flame is highly poisonous, the poison is completely comparable to that of ice Gu, and fighting poison with poison is actually the antidote.
“Could it be that what the emperor fed Mu Bai to eat was ice Gu, and a year later, the poison in the emperor’s body was burning flames?” Xia Chu suddenly heard Concubine Li once said that the emperor’s poison came through Mu Baiduan In the ginseng soup given to him, Zhong Guo ordered it.
The emperor nodded silently, and he learned many things from Concubine Li, who pretended to be sick.
It turned out that the so-called mandarin duck stone is just two kinds of poisons placed in a box by a stone.
It’s just that no one in this world knows that burning flames and ice Gu are the legendary mandarin duck stones that can dissolve the poison of all things in the world and can make people reborn.
While pretending to befriend Yue Xinli, Concubine Li accidentally learned about Yuanyangshi, knowing that the emperor had already fed half of it to Xiao Mubai, and if she wanted to recuperate his weak body, it was impossible for him to do so.
Let Zhong Guo steal the remaining half of Zhi Yan and give it to the emperor personally through Xiao Mubai’s hands.
Ice Gu has a hidden nature and can lie dormant in the human body for decades. However, its flaming nature is so intense that it shows symptoms of poisoning after taking it, which also affects Zhao Lansheng’s death in order to save the emperor.
However, at that time, the emperor still didn’t know that he was poisoned by eating Xiao Mubai’s other half of the mandarin duck stone. He only found out that the source of the poison came from the bowl of ginseng soup presented by Xiao Mubai. On the moon, Xinli committed suicide.
Inadvertently, people thought that this matter was done by Yue Xinli, and this matter was covered up by the emperor, and he did not continue to investigate.
And Zhi Yan, who had already been exchanged, was also fed to Xiao Mubai by the emperor. While the ice Gu in Xiao Mubai ate away his blood essence, it also absorbed the crux of his weakness before, and his gradually recovered physique, Let the emperor always think that the complete mandarin duck stone was fed to him.
It was not until Xiao Mubai was thirteen years old that the ice Gu erupted in his body, and the symptoms of cold poison became prominent, and the emperor was completely stunned. He began to suspect the strange poison of the Western Regions in him that year, and he also began to suspect that He Yuexinli was in him. Li Fei with a very similar scent.
However, it has been many years since this incident, and even Yue Xinli was buried in Xishan by the emperor.
There was no way to investigate what happened back then. The emperor did not find out the truth of the poisoning, but unexpectedly found out that Concubine Li had secretly extended her hand to the internal affairs of the court over the years, and even had more control than he thought. .
General Zhao took Guo Weidong back to Beijing in secret, and told him that when Concubine Li was collaborating with the enemy, the emperor was motivated to kill, and it became more and more uncontrollable.
But he still managed to endure it. It was easy to kill a Concubine Li, but he had to clean up the courtroom that had been corrupted by Concubine Li.
Therefore, a big net that was uprooted against Li Fei’s party members was woven in full swing.
