Since Concubine Chen was poisoned and fell into coma, the entire palace has been shrouded in panic. Because I don’t know when I will be punished by the emperor.
Even the emperor's close confidants, the prince and his father-in-law, have been carefully monitoring his actions these days.
So now few people would rush into trouble at this time, but there happened to be a bold man who had submitted a memorial to the emperor for the third time.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince of Changshan County would like to see you." Wang Dequan reported back to the emperor who was holding Concubine Chen.
The male protagonist closed his eyes to rest, but when he heard Wang Dequan's report, he frowned, slowly opened his sharp eyes, and asked in a deep voice:
"Wang Dequan, am I having trouble speaking? Even you have to go against my will."
"Your Majesty, I don't dare. But the prince has been kneeling at the palace gate for four hours. He must see your majesty. He also said that he has something to report about Concubine Chen."
Wang Dequan actually didn't want to meddle in this business, he was just a prince, he could kneel as long as he wanted. If Concubine Chen was not involved, he would not have said this to the emperor.
As the chief chamberlain around His Majesty, he has stayed with His Majesty for so long, and he has long seen that the Emperor will not just sit idly by and ignore matters concerning Concubine Chen. Therefore, he had the courage to report this matter to the emperor.
Wang Dequan observed the emperor's expression nervously, and saw that the male protagonist sat up after hearing about Zheng Xiyao, and gently put down the sleeping woman in his arms.
The male protagonist walked outside and asked someone to bring him over.
Not long after, the Crown Prince of Changshan County limped in. When he saw the majestic male protagonist, he gave him a big gift.
"Your Majesty, Zhao Yan, is here to see you. Long live your Majesty."
Zhao Yan lay on the ground for a long time, but he didn't hear the emperor asking him to get up.
He had been kneeling outside the palace for four hours and could no longer hold on. At this time, his knees could no longer support him. His body swayed a few times and he lay on his back.
"Pfft." The palace man beside him couldn't help laughing.
Zhao Yan was ashamed and unable to turn over because he was too fat. He struggled on the ground for a long time, twisting like a silkworm chrysalis.
"Zhao Yan, you came here to make fun of me."
"Your Majesty, I can't get up." Zhao Yan replied intermittently, with a blushing face.
The male protagonist waved his hand and asked several palace attendants to help him up.
"Tell me, what exactly do you want to tell me?"
"Your Majesty, what I want to say is that Concubine Chen did not really betray Your Majesty back then." Zhao Yan spoke tremblingly about what happened back then.
The man on the throne looked bored, leaned forward and looked down at Zhao Yan, and responded coldly: "If you want to tell me that Chen Hai threatened Zheng Xiyao with Yuwen Muji, then there is no need to waste words. I already knew it."
Zhao Yan: "No, Your Majesty, there is actually one more thing that I have never told you." Zhao Yan looked at the emperor carefully, took a deep breath and closed his eyes and shouted loudly: "I didn't want to give you that magic medicine back then. , it was Concubine Chen who gave me a bottle of medicine for my wounds, and specifically told me to put the medicine into your hands."
Zhao Yan opened one eye to look at the emperor. The moment he met the emperor's cold eyes, he immediately dropped his head in fear and his body shook non-stop.
"Zhao Yan, you should know the reason why you are still alive today as Chen Hai's close minister?"
"I, I know. It's because Your Majesty thought I saved Your Majesty in the Royal Garden."
"In that case, I'm asking you again, was it you or Zheng Xiyao who saved me?"
Seeing that the emperor was exuding an invisible murderous aura, it seemed that if he said the wrong word, his head would fall to the ground.
Zhao Yan was in a dilemma. On the one hand, there was a force that kept him confessing, but on the other hand, his instinct made him dare not continue to tell the truth.
[Host, what should I do? The hypnotic effect was not strong enough, and Zhao Yan was shaken. 】
[Open spiritual connection. ] Zheng Xiyao said extremely weakly.
[But if you activate the spiritual connection, your soul will be torn apart. In your current situation...] The system looked at Zheng Xiyao, whose soul was about to drift away.
[What are you afraid of? Don’t I still have you? 】Zheng Xiyao smiled nonchalantly and said, "At worst, I'll have to do it all over again. I want to go home, and no one can stop me." 】
The system follows the host's decision [turn on spiritual link, countdown 10, 9...2, 1, connection successful. 】
A huge force was tearing at her soul.
"ah......"
A shrill scream came from Zheng Xiyao's mouth, and the instant pain made her mind go blank.
