Chu Nanfeng cupped his hands, without moving his eyebrows, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Your Majesty, how do you define private matters? If we talk about the exchanges between the two palaces, the number of times His Highness the Seventh has visited the humble residence is much higher than that of His Highness the Third. Speaking of which, I am a humble minister. My personal relationship with His Majesty Seventh Prince seems to be better."
Ever since Chu Nanfeng fell into coma and Lin Qingge married into the Chu family, Zhou Chengzhang had been visiting her almost every now and then.
Everyone present knew what was going on.
Lin Qingge's heart skipped a beat. This incident had aroused Emperor Zhou's suspicion.
Once established, things may become troublesome.
Sure enough, Emperor Zhou had a faint smile on his lips: "Why did he come to Aiqing's house? Aiqing doesn't understand now, right?"
At the end of his speech, his eyes swept over Lin Qingge.
The look in her eyes made her feel like she was being stared at. She felt cold all over her body, and the light around her seemed to dim a lot in an instant.
Chu Nanfeng, on the other hand, seemed completely unaware of the implication of Emperor Zhou's words.
His expression was calm, and his tone was even calmer: "Zhuo Jing is beautiful, has a sweet temperament, and is good at medicine. It's normal for someone to admire you, but..."
After a pause, he looked directly into Emperor Zhou's eyes without giving in at all: "If you don't disturb me from a distance, I have nothing to say. If Your Highness or others disturb Zhuo Jing again in the future, I can only fight back." ”
There are no strong words, even the tone is gentle, but there is no hesitation and the eyes are firm.
These words not only refer to Zhou Chengzhang, but also a direct confrontation with Emperor Zhou.
He will not give in to anyone who wants to steal his wife.
Emperor Zhou's eyes narrowed even more tightly: "I didn't expect Aiqing to be such an infatuated person."
The curve on Chu Nanfeng's lips was very indifferent: "I fight on the battlefield for the sake of peace and prosperity for the country and the people. This 'people' also has a small family."
In other words, if he doesn't have peace anymore, then the country doesn't need peace either.
The two of them stood and knelt, one king and one minister, but their auras were evenly matched.
Finally, Emperor Zhou withdrew his gaze: "This matter is serious, so we will leave it to Dali Temple to investigate and handle, with Jin Yiwei assisting us. No one should be tolerated, and no one should be wronged. Han Yue, you should keep an eye on this matter." On."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Han Yue agreed, glanced at Zhou Chengzhang, and then asked, "Your Majesty, how should the Seventh Highness arrange it?"
"This evil son will be sent to the prison of Dali Temple and no preferential treatment will be given to him."
After saying these words, he walked towards the imperial study room without giving Concubine An any chance to speak.
Concubine An wanted to follow, but was blocked by Han Yue: "Your Majesty, your Majesty is in a bad mood, you'd better not follow her."
She is not a confused person, and naturally understands that what Han Yue said is right.
Wiping her tears, she turned to look at Zhou Chengzhang, her tearful eyes turned angry: "The matter of disaster silver has not been investigated yet, and it is already a great grace for your father to confine you to the house. How dare you act like this? , If you don’t shut yourself up in the house and think about your mistakes, you still cause such a huge disaster!"
The visible anger, coupled with her lowered voice, made her angry mood even more obvious.
"Mom, a place like Dali Temple Prison..."
"You should suffer a little, so that you don't do these stupid things! As long as you don't do anything you shouldn't do, your father will definitely find out and give you justice. When the time comes, some people will naturally Get punished.”
The precise words seemed to be addressed to Zhou Chengzhang, but they were more like hitting someone.
However, Lin Qingge ignored Concubine An's mood at this time. She wanted to go home and soothe her injured knees.
In addition, she still had many things to tell Chu Nanfeng, and she always felt that some danger was approaching.
The development of things was somewhat different from what she imagined.
Chu Nanfeng helped Lin Qingge up: "Are you okay?"
She understood that this was not the place to talk, so she just shook her head and put her hand on his calloused hand. The uneasiness in her heart dissipated a little, and she wanted to leave with him.
Unexpectedly, they had just taken half a step when they were blocked by Concubine An: "Should you give me an explanation for what happened today?"
"Empress," Chu Nanfeng said softly, "Your Majesty has handed it over to Dali Temple for investigation. Before the case is investigated, irrelevant personnel should not inquire too much. In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble."
The gentle words, but the feeling of threat came to my face.
Concubine An's brows furrowed, with obvious surprise in her eyes: "How dare you talk to me like this?"
"The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. Your Majesty's behavior today has gone beyond the limit. Your Majesty is nostalgic, and your Majesty should not force you step by step."
"you……"
"Ms. Weichen was frightened, so we took her back first."
Murder and heart-wrenching!
Lin Qingge only had these four words in his mind.
The person who was most frightened today should be Concubine An. Her son is treasonous and will be beheaded!
As a result, Emperor Zhou had no intention of appeasing her and simply ignored her. How could there be any affection between husband and wife?
Now Chu Nanfeng's words are simply adding salt to Concubine An's wounds.
No matter how angry Concubine An was, she could not confront courtiers like Chu Nanfeng head-on.
Not to mention the decline of the An family, now that Zhou Chengzhang's affairs are raging, her position in the harem is also in jeopardy. How can she dare to conflict with others?
Lin Qingge looked at Concubine An's angry face turning into a color palette, but she couldn't get angry. She suddenly felt that the injustice her knees had suffered today was quite worth it!
After leaving the palace and getting on the carriage, she couldn't suppress her worries: "Chu Nanfeng, you talk to Concubine An like that. Aren't you worried that after the incident is over, she will still favor the Sixth Palace and Zhou Chengzhang will be safe and sound?"
"impossible."
Four simple words, said without hesitation.
Her eyes narrowed: "Did you all plan this?"
After he nodded, she raised her hand to cover her mouth: "Is Zhou Chenghan poisoned too?"
When she said this, her voice lowered unconsciously, almost becoming a breathy sound by the end.
"yes."
The expected answer made Lin Qingge's heart still fluctuate.
The battle to seize the direct descendants was indeed a battle of swords and swords, with bloodshed at every step.
but……
Her brows were furrowed, and her eyes were full of doubts: "Is he desperate? Even if his broken body can be detoxified immediately, the trauma caused will be huge. Many consequences may be irreversible."
Where is the miracle doctor in this world? There is always a disease for which there is no cure.
"How long can he live without being poisoned? He hopes to get revenge before then."
Is it sad? But it’s also lamentable.
There are always some people who have something they must do, and they will never compromise, even if it means sacrificing their lives.
Lin Qingge sighed softly: "You discuss this with me in advance. I can use other methods to fake poisoning."
"The emperor is very suspicious and will definitely arrange for other doctors to check. False poisoning is too dangerous."
"Isn't it dangerous if he is really poisoned? It is inevitable that he will be bedridden in the next few months, so...are you going to deal with the emperor? Get rid of Concubine An and Zhou Chengzhang?"
