Just when Xia Hourui felt that he was about to explode, the discomfort all over his body was suddenly relieved by a burst of coolness. Xia Hourui knew that the antidote should have worked.
He didn't break out in a cold sweat until his brain was completely awake. At first, when the heartbroken poison started to attack, he couldn't suppress it completely with internal force. If there was no antidote, he might... tonight...
His eyes were dark and frightening, if he knew who was trying to harm him and his mother, he would never let him go lightly!
It seems that he is still too kind, so that the people behind the scenes think he is easy to bully
"Royal Father." Slowly raising his head, Xia Hourui's dark eyes were calm and steady, without any tension or eagerness to argue, but he just raised his head neither humble nor overbearing, with his back straight, and a stern demeanor, seen by Emperor Zong In his eyes, he slowly calmed down. It has to be said that he is quite satisfied with the second prince. Among these princes, he is the only one who is calm, considerate, and not panic when encountering problems, which is very similar to him back then.
"Ruier, what do you want to say?"
"Father, I know that I shouldn't speak for my mother at this time, otherwise I will make you feel that my father is partial to my mother. But filial piety is the first priority. If my son can't say anything when he sees his mother being wronged, wouldn't it be Unfaithful and unfilial, so even if it will make you unhappy, the emperor, I have to say it. If this matter is really done by the queen mother, how could she let someone use such precious snow silk to sew this witchcraft doll ? Once discovered, wouldn't it be obvious to others that this is what the queen mother did?"
As soon as Xia Hourui's words fell, everyone's hearts suddenly brightened. I'm afraid this matter is really not that simple? No one is stupid enough to dig a hole and bury himself.
Emperor Zong thought about Xia Hourui's words silently, thought about it calmly, and slowly loosened his grip on the queen's skirt. The queen was relieved and knelt on the ground tremblingly. He pursed his lips without saying a word. She has been following the emperor since he was the prince, and has never had a second heart, but for a Concubine Ying, he doubted her again and again, and now even... Thinking of the murderous intent in Emperor Zong's eyes just now, she felt heartbroken. cold.
She lowered her eyes to cover the darkness in her eyes. After all, she still overestimated her position in his heart.
Emperor Zong didn't speak, and everyone didn't dare to get up, for fear that what he said would offend Sheng Yan, and the loss would outweigh the gain. Lou Qingwu knelt in the corner carelessly, but her gaze moved across everyone's faces silently, until she landed on Concubine Rong and Po Wen, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Finally, he passed Concubine Rong and came back to the Wen Po, and saw her rubbing her hands from time to time, secretly looking at Concubine Rong with flickering and uneasy eyes, and also looking into the bedroom from time to time.
Lou Qingwu followed the opened bedroom door and looked inside.
But with just one glance, she froze in place, her face, which was calm and breezy a moment ago, became gloomy and terrifying, her pair of slender, white hands creaked, and the sky-filled eyes flashed in her mind again. Hong, almost devouring her whole body. Her eyes were empty as if she had lost her soul, lost her soul, misty and helpless, wandering, but at the next moment, the ghostly eyes seemed to be ghosts from hell, and her clear and pure eyes were gradually infected by darkness, becoming... Dark and cold.
The Wen woman only felt a cold gaze staring at her, and couldn't help but feel a chill run up her back, but she looked around, but found nothing.
But at this time, in the entire silent outer hall that seemed to be deserted, a soft and soft voice sounded slowly: "Your Majesty, if my daughter agrees with the Second Prince, I am afraid that someone intentionally framed the empress in this matter. "
"Huh?" Everyone was surprised, their eyes suddenly turned to the direction of the voice, and when they saw the weak woman in the corner, they were all stunned. Those big eyes staring at everyone, wet and innocent, inexplicably calmed everyone's nervousness. Emperor Zong obviously calmed down a lot. After all, Ruier's words just now were not unreasonable. He was too impatient. Thinking about it now, this situation is not impossible. It was only because she was too angry when she heard that the person who murdered Yinger was the queen that she said such inappropriate things. At this moment, he was worried that there would be no steps. When he heard Lou Qingwu's words, he couldn't help but soften his expression a lot: "Oh? If you agree with Ruier, how do you know that the queen was framed?"
Hearing Emperor Zong's words, everyone also stared at Lou Qingwu and answered.
Lou Qingwu tilted her head, her eyes were full of gentleness, kindness, and clarity, and every sentence fell on the point: "My daughter thinks of three things."
"Oh? What three o'clock?"
"Firstly, Mother Cui from Sizhifang said that only Kunning Palace has snow silk, but the courtiers don't agree. After all, Snow Silk was allocated to Kunning Palace by Sizhifang, so Sizhifang should now Is there too?"
"This..." Mother Cui's face changed when she heard this, she looked up and saw Emperor Zong's frown, and said hastily: "Your Majesty, I did reserve some of the office, but it's just in case there is a need. , it can be used in case of emergencies, and the slaves never gave it to others without permission."
Emperor Zong remained silent with a sullen face, and Lou Qingwu just raised the corners of her mouth, she couldn't tell what she was thinking at all, but everyone's eyes fell on her, looking at this weak but peerless woman who is demure and elegant They didn't think about it: "The minister's daughter doesn't mean that there is something private in the office, just to give an example, not only Kunning Palace has snow silk. What's more, although snow silk is expensive However, this imperial palace is not the only place in the world where there is snow silk, since it is a tribute, it is naturally presented from the people, what is on the way... I really don't know."
Emperor Zong's heart moved, but he didn't speak, and the others didn't dare to speak, they just looked at Lou Qingwu with some deep meaning.
After a while, Emperor Zong continued to ask: "What about the second and third."
"Secondly, stillbirth is not accidental, nor is it a witchcraft, but poisoning."
"Poisoning?" Everyone gasped and looked at the imperial doctor one after another. Someone couldn't help but ask, "But if it's poisoning, how could the imperial doctor not find out?"
"This, of course, is the third thing I want to talk about." Lou Qingwu slowly raised her head, looking at Emperor Zong quietly, "Before talking about the third thing, I want the emperor and my daughter to see something first. .”
"what?"
"When you see it, the emperor will naturally understand."
"I agree."
Lou Qingwu just stood up, passed Wen Po and the imperial doctor, and stepped into the bedroom. Her footsteps were very light, but every step hit everyone's heart, like an extremely sharp knife, and they might not know the next moment. May be the target of being framed. After all, the people behind the scenes dared to design even the queen, let alone them
Lou Qingwu quickly came out of the dormitory, but she didn't return empty-handed, but holding a pot of delicate flowers.
The flower pot is very ordinary green grass, it doesn't look like anything special.
Emperor Zong couldn't help frowning: "You just want to show me this?"
"Yes, that's it. This is the third thing I said, the reason why the imperial doctor couldn't see that it was poisoning was because of this herb. It was the culprit behind Concubine Ying's difficulty in giving birth to a stillborn baby this time."
Emperor Zong's eyes darkened: "What is this?"
