Thinking of this, Emperor Mu's eyes turned cold.
"Your Majesty." Gu Guifei did not notice the change in Emperor Mu's mood and spoke slowly, "I guess I accidentally ate something cold last night, which caused the abdominal pain. I drank a lot of hot water this morning. Now My son's pain has been relieved a lot, and the emperor doesn't need to worry about my concubine."
Emperor Mu's eyes deepened, and a deep cold light flashed across his eyes: "Really?"
Concubine Gu nodded: "Yes."
"In that case, your concubine, please have a good rest." Emperor Mu stood up, "I still have many things to approve, so I won't stay here with you."
After that, she turned around and walked out without waiting for Concubine Gu to reply.
Ji Ziyi glanced at Concubine Gu meaningfully, thinking that this woman really brought it upon herself to murder her own son. She was really vicious and deserved this retribution.
The abdominal pain last night was still mild. As time goes by and the attacks occur more and more, she will gradually realize the feeling of life being worse than death.
After leaving the red lacquer palace gate, Emperor Mu said indifferently: "Yang Dexi, the imperial concubine's jade body is in violation of the rules. She needs to take a good rest. The palace gate will be closed for a few days. Don't let anyone come and disturb the imperial concubine's peace."
Yang Dexi bowed and responded: "Yes."
"Mr. Ji, follow me to the imperial study."
Ji Ziyi said nothing, turned to look at the closed palace door, and did not miss the uneasy expressions on the faces of the maids behind the palace door.
The art of witchcraft.
This kind of method has always been taboo in the palace. Once anyone violates it, it will be a major crime to kill the nine clans. If any palace concubine or prince dares to use such despicable methods, they will die miserably.
In the past, a large number of people could be killed just by catching winds and shadows. Now that the evidence was conclusive, Emperor Mu was afraid that he had murderous intentions towards Concubine Gu and King Chen. However, he was still a little scrupulous at the moment, so he could not move for the time being.
Arriving at Qinzheng Hall, Emperor Mu sat in front of the dragon couch covered with bright yellow brocade: "Is Concubine Gu really bewitched?"
"It's very similar." Ji Ziyi nodded, "If no symptoms are found and there are no signs of poisoning, it is very likely that someone has used the poison. However, because the age is still short, the poison has not fully grown into larvae, so the attack The pain is still bearable."
Emperor Mu suspected: "Prince Chen will not attack his mother and concubine."
Ji Ziyi shook his head: "His Royal Highness Chen Wang naturally respects and loves his mother and concubine very much, but the demon behind him may not do anything secretly."
Emperor Mu frowned: "Why?"
"Because what he is doing is beheading, he must leave himself a way to survive." Ji Ziyi said after considering, "The common people speculate that he may want to threaten King Chen with the life of his concubine one day when King Chen no longer needs him. Leave him alive."
Emperor Mu's eyes were attentive, and this sentence made sense.
King Chen raised such an evil and vicious person in order to fight for the throne by any means necessary. Once his ambition succeeds in the future, the first person to be silenced will be this henchman.
And just now Concubine Gu felt guilty for a moment... It was obvious that she knew what her son was doing, and she had never stopped him.
wrong.
Emperor Mu frowned, Rong Cang had been poisoned for ten years, and ten years ago King Chen was only a boy of fifteen or sixteen, and had not yet left the palace to establish a palace.
So is it possible that this demon was recruited by Concubine Gu?
In other words, the person who really wanted to control Rong Cang was Concubine Gu from the beginning. She used poison to contain Rong Cang in order to achieve the purpose of making Rong Cang available to King Chen.
This was a conspiracy that had been carefully planned for ten years.
Emperor Mu gently closed his eyes. He didn't know that he had kept a venomous snake in the harem for so many years. They said that a tiger's venom will not eat its seeds, but Concubine Gu really did it.
"Your Majesty." Ji Ziyi said, "If there is nothing else, the common people will leave first."
Emperor Mu came to his senses and put his wrist on the case: "Please give me a pulse number. I want to know if King Chen will take action against me."
Ji Ziyi walked over silently and said while taking her pulse: "Judging from the emperor's Yintang, it is not yet clear whether he has been infected by the poison, because the mother-child poison has no symptoms in the early stage -"
Before he finished speaking, Ji Ziyi suddenly stopped talking, with a solemn look on his face.
Emperor Mu noticed the change in his expression, and an ominous premonition slowly arose in his heart. At the same time, he did not feel surprised at all.
Yes, with such a vicious mind, how could King Chen be willing to control only Rong Cang? After ten years of raising a sinister person, you still haven’t put everything to good use?
Let him, the emperor, also bewitched. When the time comes, Rong Cang loses control and kills the king, and King Chen will naturally come to protect him. It really kills two birds with one stone.
It can not only kill the emperor suddenly, but also cure the war king's crime of regicide.
What a perfect plan.
"The Emperor's pulse condition is indeed not normal." Ji Ziyi retracted her hand, took a step back, and spoke humbly, "But if you want further confirmation, you should directly interrogate the person who raised the poisonous poison."
Emperor Mu frowned: "If this person is caught, will he make a desperate move and jump over the wall?"
Ji Ziyi was silent for a moment and slowly shook his head: "The common people are not sure, but if the mother voodoo in his body is used to control the child voodoo in the imperial concubine's body, then the poison in the emperor's body is not directly controlled by him. It should be no big deal. .”
Emperor Mu raised his hand to support his forehead. His face was not shocked, but murderous intent was already in his heart.
But probably only he himself knows who this murderous intention is aimed at.
"You should step back first." Emperor Mu said indifferently, "I will stay by myself for a while."
"The common people retire." Ji Ziyi saluted calmly.
Emperor Mu closed his eyes: "Yang Dexi."
Yang Dexi lowered his head: "I'm here."
"Has there been any movement in Prince Chen's residence recently?"
"I heard about something." Yang Dexi approached Emperor Mu and lowered his voice and said, "His Royal Highness Chen Wang was so angry for some reason last night that he almost raped most of the guards in the palace with a cane, and two people were killed on the spot. Prince Chen's Mansion There was no peace all night.”
Emperor Mu opened his eyes, and frost slowly formed in his eyes: "Is this possible?"
"Yes." Yang Dexi nodded, "Probably the guards were all frightened. Before dawn this morning, someone quietly sent a message to the commander of the Royal Forest Army. The commander told the servants about the matter and wanted the emperor to make a decision. "
After a pause, he explained: "My servant originally wanted to report the matter to the emperor after he went to court, but after he went to court, the emperor summoned Mr. Ji and went to Zhaochen Palace, so..."
Emperor Mu's face showed no emotion or anger: "Send a smarter person to check and find out what happened in Prince Chen's Mansion last night."
"yes."
After Chen Zhong left, Emperor Mu was leaning on the wide couch carved with dragon patterns alone, with a gloomy look between his eyebrows.
The person she used to be her closest to was actually plotting against herself and her own son many years ago...
Is Rong Cang really the imperial concubine's biological son?
Emperor Mu couldn't help but have this suspicion in his heart. He closed his eyes and tried to find some unusual places in his memory to find a reasonable reason for Gu Guifei's extremely eccentric behavior.
More than twenty years of time flashed through his mind like a fleeting glimpse. Emperor Mu suddenly thought of his mother who had been eating fast and chanting Buddha for more than twenty years and still refused to see people. He slowly opened his eyes, the color of his eyes was deep and cold.
