Leaving the palace banquet quietly, avoiding all the way, Xiao Chongjing came to Pingle Palace.
When he saw Concubine Xi, he felt relieved, but at the same time he couldn't help complaining, "Mother, if you have anything to do, you can just send me a message. Why do you have to meet in person? How dangerous it is..."
"Danger? Do you still know the danger?"
Concubine Xi sat on the chair, raised her hand with a sneer, and Xiao Chongjing immediately received a heavy blow on his leg.
With a muffled groan, Xiao Chongjing was suppressed and knelt on the ground on one knee.
"Empress?"
Xiao Chongjing frowned, knelt on the ground and looked at Concubine Xi inexplicably, "My Lady, what's wrong with you?"
"What's wrong with me?"
Concubine Xi snorted coldly and asked everyone except Imperial Physician Shao to leave.
After everyone left, she looked at Xiao Chongjing with red eyes and gritted her teeth, and asked in a low voice, "I still want to know what's wrong with you! Where did you get the courage to poison the prince! Do you want your life?"
"What, what kind of poison?" Xiao Chongjing didn't know why.
"Hmph, stop pretending."
Concubine Xi looked at Xiao Chongjing coldly, as if looking at a dead person, "For the sake of everyone's surname Xiao, I advise you to hand over the antidote immediately! Otherwise, wait until I report this matter to the emperor, you know What's the crime?"
"What antidote?"
Xiao Chongjing frowned and became even more confused, "Madam, please calm down and explain clearly first, what happened to the Sixth Prince? Is he really poisoned?"
"How dare you ask! Isn't this all a good thing you did!"
"Me? How could I..."
"How dare you quibble!"
Seeing that Xiao Chongjing refused to admit it, Concubine Xi slapped the table unbearably and growled: "The Sixth Prince told me before he fainted that the sachet on your body and the ink in the previous letter were all poisonous! He could even smell the poison. The taste!”
"What!"
Xiao Chongjing immediately lowered his head and looked at his waist.
He quickly pulled the sachet off and smelled it vigorously, then frowned and shook his head, "No way, this sachet is just cotton, it has no smell at all! And if it is really poisonous, how can I be okay?"
"I'll smell it."
Dr. Shao immediately stepped forward and grabbed the sachet.
Putting the sachet to the tip of his nose and smelling it, he frowned...
"How about it?"
Concubine Xi immediately looked at Dr. Shao expectantly.
Seeing him frowning and not speaking, she felt anxious and quickly stood up to get the sachet...
"My dear, no!"
Dr. Shao immediately took the sachet away.
After holding the sachet and examining it for a while, he nodded in confirmation, "The Sixth Prince is right, this sachet is indeed poisonous, but the toxicity is not strong. There should be something fishy about the way the Sixth Prince looks like... I I heard that there is a secret medicine in the northwest. If the two medicines are separated, they will only have a slight toxin. But if the two medicines are combined, they will produce a highly toxic substance! It can range from madness to severe..."
"What's more serious?" Concubine Xi was so anxious that she almost stamped her feet.
"The worst case scenario is... death."
"What!"
Concubine Xi's whole body was shaken and she almost fell down.
She quickly held the edge of the table with one hand and tightly grasped the sleeve of Imperial Physician Shao with the other hand. Prayer and helplessness flashed in her eyes, "Shao Xuan, can you save me?"
"this……"
Dr. Shao lowered his head to avoid her gaze, cupped his hands and said heavily: "I'll do my best."
"As much as possible?"
Concubine Xi staggered and sat down, tears falling unconsciously.
She pushed away Imperial Physician Shao, looked at Xiao Chongjing angrily, and ordered in a deep voice, "Come here, go and invite the Emperor here!"
"No!"
Xiao Chongjing was shocked and quickly ran out to stop the palace maid. He hurriedly entered the house again and knelt at Concubine Xi's feet.
Grabbing the corner of her clothes, Xiao Chongjing wanted to raise his hands and swear, "Mother, I really don't know what's going on! I really didn't poison! How could I poison my cousin!"
To put it bluntly, even if I really wanted to poison myself, I wouldn’t be stupid enough to put the poison on myself..."
At this point, Xiao Chongjing's voice suddenly stopped.
Suddenly, he remembered the scene when Yin Xiaorou sent him away from the house today... and he was horrified!
No wonder!
Xiao Chongjing felt like he was being slapped!
No wonder she said thank you!
No wonder...she would suddenly come to the study that day to apologize, and she would personally polish his ink and fold his letters...
It turns out that she designed all this!
Xiao Chongjing took a breath... She actually dared to murder the prince, she, who on earth was she!
"What did you think of!"
Seeing that Xiao Chongjing was in a daze, Concubine Xi quickly grabbed his collar and asked, "Tell me clearly who killed my Wen'er!"
"Could it be..." Recalling that Dr. Shao had just said that the poison came from the northwest, Concubine Xi's eyes narrowed, "Is it that concubine of yours?"
"yes……"
Xiao Chongjing's throat tightened, "It should be her..."
"No wonder……"
Concubine Xi nodded suddenly and sneered: "She wants to kill two birds with one stone. She not only ruined my Wen'er, but also forced you to side with her... But why does she think I will let you go?" "
Concubine Xi frowned and looked at Xiao Chongjing in confusion, "As long as I hand you over to His Majesty, won't all her plans be in vain? When you become a prisoner, she will not be able to escape even if you hesitate, what benefits will she gain?"
"no no!"
Xiao Chongjing was immediately startled when he heard that Concubine Xi was about to give up on him.
He quickly begged, "Mother, if you want to take revenge, there are many other ways. Why bother Your Majesty? No matter what you say, I am still your nephew... Those two poisons all passed through my hands. If Your Majesty traces it, what will happen to Yin Xiaorou?" That’s not necessarily the case, but I can’t escape the relationship…”
"I don't care about you!"
Concubine Xi kicked Xiao Chongjing away and asked bitterly, "You also know that the poison passed through your hands! You also know that you can't get away with it! Then why did you bring those two bastards to the capital! You deserve it! I really do I regret why I didn’t let you go earlier!”
"Empress!"
Seeing that Concubine Xi refused to accept her offer, Xiao Chongjing became angry.
He threw away Concubine Xi's clothes, stood up, and threatened with a cold face, "My queen, if you say that, then I can't control you anymore."
"What do you mean?"
Concubine Xi frowned, wondering where Xiao Chongjing got the courage.
At this time, he still dared to yell at her.
"What do I mean?"
Xiao Chongjing glanced at Imperial Physician Shao with a sneer, lowered his head and said in the smallest voice in Concubine Xi's ear: "My Lady, you just asked me what is the crime of murdering the emperor's heir. In fact, I also want to ask you, what is the crime of confusing the royal bloodline? What crime?"
"you……"
Concubine Xi's eyes trembled, she suppressed her panic and looked at Xiao Chongjing coldly, "What do you mean?"
"What do I mean?" Xiao Chongjing smiled, "My Lady, don't you know what I mean? Thirteen years ago, before His Majesty came back from the northwest, you once asked me to grab a pair of medicines. Do you remember ?"
"What, what medicine?"
"A pair of abortion pills."
Xiao Chongjing smiled and said in a low voice: "At that time, I was still wondering how someone could be pregnant when His Majesty was not in the palace... As a result, His Majesty came back not long after, and Concubine Xi was pregnant..."
