Chu Luojue was not a fool. He was able to sit in this position amidst the battles of many princes. He was naturally very quick in thinking.
As soon as he heard Su Ningxin's words, his expression immediately changed. What did this mean? Is there a poison in the antidote
"What does poisoning mean in the antidote?"
The emperor looked serious and looked at Su Ningxin with a sense of oppression. Su Ningxin, who was very familiar with him, knew that he was serious now.
After all, he had the aura of an emperor. Even Su Ningxin couldn't help but lower her head when she was looked at by such eyes.
However, Su Ningxin was a stubborn person. In order to cover up her retreat, she raised her neck and looked at the emperor without giving in at all.
"Didn't you see what was going on in the Queen's palace? Or didn't you see Liu Xue who was beaten half to death by me?"
The emperor recalled the scene at that time. He had naturally entered the queen's palace. When he looked at the scattered wine glass fragments on the floor and the half-dead Liu Xue, his heart stopped beating for a moment, fearing that the queen had encountered something. Unexpected.
It wasn't until she got the news from Chu Jihan that the queen was taken away by Gu Mingxi and Su Ningxin that she felt relieved.
After all, this kind of thing has happened before. If she made the queen unhappy, she would let Su Ningxin take her away from home. If she was angry, she would sneak out of the house to play on the street. If she was angry, she would He ran back to Jiangning Mansion and waited for him to plead guilty.
Although he had discussed this matter with the queen in advance, the emperor also knew that it was too much to let the queen test the poison on her own body and use it as an excuse to suppress the Taifu family, so he was not surprised that the queen ran out of the palace.
I just wanted to wait until her anger subsides after some time, and then I can make amends.
But now listening to Su Ningxin's meaning, it seemed that there was something hidden in this matter, and the emperor also had a guess in his mind about what happened. This guess was too terrifying for him, and he did not dare to believe it.
"What do you mean?" Chu Luojue asked again, but this time there was a slight tremor in his voice.
Su Ningxin shrugged, "That's what it means literally. Liu Xue poisoned the queen's antidote, the kind that seals her throat when she sees blood."
With a "pop" sound, the valuable fan in the emperor's hand was crushed to pieces by him, but he didn't pay attention.
[Yao Shouyou, how much is this worth!]Su Ningxin stared at the fan and felt her heart bleeding.
Seeing the emperor's cold eyes as if he was trying to scare everyone away, Su Ningxin finally looked away from the fan with difficulty and said to the emperor for the sake of her own life.
"I don't know whether this is good news or bad news for you, but I'll tell you anyway. But the boss and I were both with the queen when she took the poison. You know the boss's medical skills. There is a high probability that the queen will be fine."
There was no change in the emperor's eyes, and he turned directly to Su Ningxin, "Ming Xi cured the queen?"
"I don't know," Su Ningxin said honestly, "but what are you doing so pretentiously? Liu Xue is yours, and you can instruct her to poison the queen. I'm afraid you are the only one in the whole Da Qi."
"I didn't." The emperor retorted subconsciously, and then stopped talking with a sullen face.
After hearing the emperor's words, although Su Ningxin didn't know whether he was telling the truth or acting, she was secretly relieved.
To be fair, she didn't want to believe that the emperor really gave up the queen for the sake of weighing interests.
Not to mention that she had a good relationship with both of them, but for the sake of her own dignity, it was best not to let this happen.
When she first entered the Fifth Prince's Mansion as a concubine, she also worked hard for Chu Luojue and wanted to have a future for herself. To find a backer for herself, it would be best if she could become the queen.
Later, the queen appeared, and the two of them were in love with each other, so she stopped being such a bad person, and she had no objection to losing to the illusory true love.
But if those feelings that made me lose so much that I was convinced could actually be given up at will in the eyes of the emperor, then if I lost to the queen, wouldn't it mean that everything I had done in the past was worthless in the eyes of the emperor.
Not to mention this kind of demolition and killing... the behavior of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge is very frustrating.
More importantly, if those times of supporting each other in the most difficult times were not taken seriously by the emperor, then his biggest backer in Da Qi would be completely unreliable, and he might be sold out one day.
Well, it seems that he has already sold it once. He lied to himself that Chu Jihan was a sick man and tricked himself into marrying him to win over Chu Jihan.
The two were silent for a long time. Su Ning was thinking about her own affairs, while the emperor was frantically screening in his mind who would poison the queen? There are really not many people who have the motivation and ability to bribe Liu Xue.
In fact, the emperor also wanted to explain that he was not the one who instigated Liu Xue, but before the words were spoken, he understood that she had sent Liu Xue to the queen's side a few years ago, and everyone agreed that Liu Xue was his.
The most frightening thing is that this is indeed the case. Liu Xue is the daughter of the nun who took care of him. From the time she followed his mother-in-law to taking care of him for more than 20 years, she has always been loyal. He never expected that Liu Xue would betray him. .
In this situation, unless he finds the real culprit behind the scenes, he will be unable to defend himself.
Su Ningxin looked at Chu Luojue's expression and somewhat believed what he said. She had read a book about micro-expressions when she was bored. Later, she could also pay attention to this aspect when she was working as a secret guard. She could get along with him every time. The expressions in the book match.
Looking at the emperor's expression now, there is no subconscious micro-expression of lying, only the tight corners of his mouth showing his anger and helplessness.
Su Ningxin curled up the corners of her lips helplessly. After all, he was the emperor. Even if he really poisoned her, what could she do and assassinate him
She was very familiar with Chu Luojue, and her skill was not something she could match, and her relationship with the queen was not good enough to interfere with him.
Reluctantly giving her the piece of Wuyouhua jade pendant, Su Ningxin felt that this was the greatest act of kindness in her life.
After thinking about it, Su Ningxin said, "I have something to tell you."
The emperor was called back to his mind and looked at Su Ningxin questioningly.
"I got something by chance, the one you've been looking for." Su Ningxin said calmly.
The emperor frowned in confusion, what had he been looking for? She is not looking for anything but the Queen. Can she tell her where the Queen is
He was thinking this in his mind, but suddenly there was a flash of light, and the emperor's pupils suddenly shrank, "What do you mean?"
Su Ningxin nodded, "That's it." As she said that, she touched her arms, but found nothing. Then she remembered that she had put it in her clothes when she took a shower and didn't take it out.
