The Marquis's face changed greatly, and he stood up and stepped forward quickly. It was not because of the sentence about bullying the king, but there were many things about bullying the king, not least of which was this one.
What shocked him was the previous sentence: "When did you get poisoned? Chu'er just said that you were sick. I thought I had taken care of you a long time ago."
The emperor looked at him carefully for a long time, and saw that his expression did not seem to be fake, and sneered: "It seems that you, the father, have also been kept in the dark."
The Marquis looked anxious: "Have you been cured of your poison now?"
The emperor glanced at him slightly distantly: "I have found the person and will solve it soon."
The Marquis looked confused: "What kind of poison is it? Chu'er has been treating it for so long, but it still can't be cured?"
The emperor suddenly raised his eyes, his eyes full of heart-stopping coldness: "Did you already know that he knows how to heal?"
The Marquis looked scared and coughed twice: "He has been weak since he was a child and has been sick for a long time. He has learned a lot about medicine. Although I heard about it occasionally, I have never been sick by him."
The emperor showed a hint of doubt: "How did he tell you about the treatment?"
The Marquis thought for a while and concealed the fact that Xiang Chengfang came to the Marquis Mansion: "He followed me into the palace to see you that day. Seeing that you didn't look very good, he wanted to take a look for you. I am afraid that if my medical skills are not good enough, I will find Ying'er as an excuse."
The emperor sneered: "Not good at medical skills? The wonderful rejuvenation was said by General Zhao himself."
The Marquis laughed awkwardly: "How could my father-in-law know this? I'm afraid he might have frightened me..."
The emperor looked at him playfully, as if he was bluffing or not, and you had no idea.
The Marquis laughed more and more awkwardly, and the two looked at each other speechlessly for a moment.
It happened that Eunuch Li had brought the meal and circulated the news outside. The emperor asked him to come in and laid out the dishes, then waved his hand, and Eunuch Li quickly retreated out.
The Marquis gave the emperor a piece of food with chopsticks and asked while eating, "Is this why you imprisoned Chu'er in Ci'an Palace?"
The chopsticks that the emperor had just picked up were put down in an instant and fell heavily on the table: "If you dare to poison me, if I didn't chop off his head immediately, I would have given you and Lan Sheng face."
The Marquis had been freezing all night, standing all night, and now he was hungry. When he said this, he was so shocked that he choked on the soup and coughed non-stop.
The emperor watched him coughing with cold eyes, his face turned red, and he said nothing.
The Marquis finally regained his composure, stood up and looked at the Emperor angrily: "Who said these bastard words, do you believe it? Although Chu'er was not raised by us since he was a child, he was also well-educated. He is so rebellious. How could he do it? There is no reason to do it."
The emperor didn't believe it before, but now...
"Last night he brought an antidote to the palace for me to take. I told Yuan Guangyi to come and poured the antidote into the chicken's mouth. The chicken's mouth and eyes bled and it died on the spot!" The emperor was angry! Ji Ji, with a ferocious look on his face: "Did you know that you were completely exasperated on the spot? What if I was the one who took it?"
The Marquis sat down slumped. He didn't dare to think about what the emperor said...
If the emperor submits...
Take it…
Only now did he know that Xia Chu could still be placed under house arrest in Ci'an Palace because of Zhao Lansheng's affection, and he was particularly merciful...
Naturally, the Marquis did not believe that Xia Chu would poison the emperor. There must be something hidden in it. He calmed down and thought for a while, then raised his head and said to the angry emperor: "There must be something fishy about this matter. You just put Chu under house arrest last night." Son, Baiguan was stopped on the street today, and all this is aimed at Chu'er."
The emperor's face brightened slightly. If the Marquis could see this, why couldn't he
If General Zhao hadn't told him the whole story of the corpse burning in detail when he returned to the capital, perhaps when he heard about it at court this morning, he was so angry that he was so angry that he cut off Xia Chu's body with a decree. head.
Since he had promised Old General Zhao to go easy on the military doctor named Yi Dao, and went to court early in the morning, he naturally knew what he was doing and still had some sense.
Just as Mr. Hou said, the strangeness of this incident also made him suspicious.
In addition, he brought Lan Yuying to the palace last night and made some insinuations to test her.
The child seemed to really know nothing about it, which inevitably made him think about Xia Chu's poisoning.
"Your Majesty, please give me some time to investigate this matter, and I will definitely give you an explanation." Seeing his face softening, the Marquis stepped forward to plead.
"No need, I will investigate this matter myself." The emperor looked calm. This matter involved a woman who he didn't want anyone to know about, so naturally he would not leave it to the Marquis to investigate.
"Your Majesty, are you worried that I will protect Chu'er?" The Marquis was confused when he heard his refusal.
Logically speaking, the emperor should give him a chance to prove his innocence.
"Ansheng should stay in the Marquis Mansion. If I can believe that you have nothing to do with this matter, it is already a sign of the Emperor's great kindness." When the Emperor said the last word, his eyes became colder and his tone became colder.
The Marquis knew his temper and knew that it was not appropriate to talk too much at this time.
In addition, he also knew in his heart that just as the emperor said, the emperor had never doubted him from beginning to end. He had already given him enough trust and could not rely on past friendship to make excessive demands.
"I will go back to the Hou Mansion and stay there for a while. I won't bother you here." Mr. Hou simply got up and left.
The emperor's kindness was one thing, but it was also true that he always believed that Xia Chu was wronged by the emperor.
Therefore, the tone of the Marquis's resignation was also firm.
When he walked to the door, he suddenly stopped and looked back, his expression softened again, and he asked with a smile: "If you don't want me to check, can you let me go to Ci'an Palace to have a look at him?"
A teacup was thrown over, and the Marquis jumped away in time. The broken porcelain on the ground represented the emperor's answer.
"If you don't want to see it, don't see it!" The Marquis frowned, turned around and walked out of the imperial study.
The emperor looked at the closed door and thought about going to see Lan Yuying.
Last night, before he had time to ask anything, the Marquis suddenly came to Qingxin Palace. He sent someone to send Lan Yuying to the queen's side hall, planning to go there later.
I never thought that the Marquis’ stop would last only one night.
The emperor thought of this and was about to call Eunuch Li to drive to Kunning Palace, but the door was suddenly pushed open a crack. The Marquis poked his head in, looked at him with a smile on his face and asked, "Son, can't you see?" , let Eunuch Li take me out of the palace, is that okay?"
The emperor pointed at him and said angrily: "Go back to the palace now, immediately, immediately!"
The Marquis shrank his head back when he yelled at him, his face wrinkled together, his eyes closed for a moment, and then he opened them a crack: "What about Eunuch Li?"
"No..." Before the emperor could say the word 'door' behind him, the Marquis immediately answered: "Okay."
Then, a particularly loud voice from the Marquis came from outside the house: "Let's go, Eunuch Li, the emperor just said it's okay..."
