Born to be a star? The abstinent prince dotes on her
Chapter 345: Old and cunning
Upon hearing this, the Emperor Chu's expression changed slightly.
Shen Yindi and Si Qi also looked at each other, could it be that they were the ones who took the initiative again?
"What's the matter?" The King of Chu's voice was a little low.
Duofu reported the eunuch's words to him: "The prince's concubine had evil intentions and wanted to assassinate the prince and the queen, but was strangled to death by the palace guards."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was injured while protecting the Queen, but fortunately he is not seriously injured. The Queen was frightened and fainted!"
Shen Yindi pursed her lips, her teeth itching with hatred in her heart. This old fox! He actually got ahead of her again!
Just kill Xue Yi and put all the blame on her!
Then he suddenly turned into a victim himself!
What a cunning old man!
After a long while, the King of Chu finally found his voice: "Go to Kunning Palace. I want to go and take a look."
At this time, Shen Yindi immediately said, "Your Majesty, I'll go with you. I guess that concubine is a Gu King, and she may not be killed by ordinary beheading. I can also protect Your Majesty a little."
"Well, you go with me."
"Adi, I want to go too. Brother Mu is still there!" Si Qi said hurriedly.
"Okay, let's go together."
At this time, Chu Yun and Chu Yao also came out, and Shen Yindi just told them to go back to the palace first.
The King of Chu was already walking in front, and he wanted to go over quickly to see what was going on.
How could such a terrible thing happen in the harem?
Chu Yun and Chu Yao knew they couldn't help, so they didn't want to make things worse.
Besides, now that the Emperor has issued the imperial decree granting the marriage, there must be a lot of things to be delivered. There are only three days, which is somewhat rushed.
They must hurry.
When the King of Chu and his entourage arrived at Kunning Palace, they saw Xue Yi lying in the hall, her throat cut by a sword, with black blood oozing from her neck.
Mu Ningyuan led people to guard here. He was indeed a step late. He didn't expect their speed to be so fast!
When they saw Emperor Chu coming, they immediately came over to pay their respects to him.
Chu Heng then hurried out and knelt before the Emperor, angrily apologizing: "Father, I was deceived by someone and let the wolf into the house, causing the Queen Mother to be frightened and almost injured."
"Please punish me, Father!"
There was a hint of anger in the eyes of Emperor Chu.
He saw the wound on Chu Heng's hand and asked in a low voice, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, just a superficial wound."
"Where's your mother?"
"The Queen Mother was frightened and fainted just now. She has not woken up yet."
Emperor Chu nodded, then his eyes fell on Xue Yi who was lying there.
"Where did you get this woman? She has been with you for several months, but you didn't find any ill intentions from her?" The King of Chu asked in a low voice.
"Father, this is the woman I accidentally saved when I was away. I checked her family background and found nothing unusual. In order to allow her to have a suitable identity and follow me into the palace, I said she was a cousin."
"In the final analysis, it's all my fault. I didn't know her well enough. I didn't expect that she would take advantage of my sincerity towards her with ill intentions..."
Chu Heng looked disheartened, as if he was also a victim.
"Does the poisoning of Concubine De and Concubine Jing's miscarriage have anything to do with her?" Emperor Chu continued to ask.
Chu Heng immediately showed panic on his face: "Father, I didn't know this. I thought she just wanted to kill me! She mentioned it to me and asked me to make her my principal wife. But I didn't agree. Maybe she was holding a grudge. That's why she revealed her true nature."
Now there is no evidence, so Chu Heng can say whatever he wants.
Shen Yindi came over and said coldly, "Your Majesty, I just checked her body and found that she does have a lot of Gu. She must be from Southern Xinjiang."
"Ordinary people cannot carry so many poisonous insects on their own."
"That's unreasonable!"
"Father, I really didn't know about it. But I was the one who brought the person in. No matter how you punish me, I won't have any complaints!" Chu Heng pleaded guilty again.
"As the crown prince, you fail to judge people and bring chaos to the harem. The crown prince is confined to the East Palace for a month to reflect on his mistakes!" The Emperor of Chu said in a low voice.
After all, without evidence, more severe punishment may not be possible.
Can only be confined to the house.
"Girl, what do you think we should do with the body of this poisoned person?" Emperor Chu looked at Shen Yindi and asked.
"Your Majesty, this kind of corpse must be burned. Only when it turns into ashes will it be harmless!" Shen Yindi said decisively.
Chu Heng suddenly raised his head with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
At this time, Shen Yindi was still wearing a veil.
Seeing this, the King of Chu asked coldly, "Why? Are you still reluctant?"
"I dare not! She deserves to be cut into pieces a thousand times for doing such a thing!"
Shen Yindi walked up to Xue Yi, took out a small porcelain bottle from her waist, and sprinkled medicine powder on her body, especially around her neck.
"Your Majesty, let's leave this matter to Lord Mu?" Shen Yindi took the initiative to say.
"Well. Lord Mu, have someone drag the body out and burn it yourself!" the Emperor of Chu ordered.
"The minister obeys the order."
Afterwards, Mu Ningyuan ordered people to tie Xue Yi up with a mat and carry her out of the palace.
Chu Heng looked at it, and quietly clenched his hands hanging by his side into fists.
"Your Majesty, I'll take my leave first. I have to go back to look after Sister Yun." Shen Yindi said immediately.
I don't want to stay here for a second.
"Okay, go ahead. I'll be there later."
Then Shen Yindi pulled Si Qi out.
They quickly caught up with Mu Ningyuan.
"Brother Mu, are you okay? What happened just now?" Si Qi was a little curious, feeling that Brother Mu was obviously very fast.
"I was tripped by two eunuchs on the way and was delayed for a while. When I got here, I saw the scene you just saw." Mu Ningyuan's voice was a little low.
"What's going on with those two eunuchs? Are they deliberately delaying you?" Si Qi felt that something was wrong.
"They are eunuchs from the Imperial Kitchen. They said the black chicken they cooked for Concubine Jing in the evening ran away, and asked me to help find it."
He had already refused and asked them to leave, but he still delayed for a while and was finally a step too late.
"Adi, it shouldn't be dangerous for Brother Mu to burn that woman later, right?" Si Qi was a little worried.
This kind of woman who is full of poison will not be at peace even after death, her body is full of poison.
"No, take this pill and share it with other officials."
"Thank you, Miss Shen."
"Then I'll go first. Burn it as soon as possible to avoid any more trouble at night."
"Okay, after you've dealt with your business, come to A Yao's bedroom. Let's have dinner together tonight." Si Qi took the initiative to invite.
"Yeah." Mu Ningyuan agreed.
Today's affairs were too rushed, and he would definitely go over to review with them. Chu Yan would also go to the palace in the evening.
Without further ado, Mu Ningyuan quickly carried Xue Yi's body out for disposal.
Shen Yindi and Si Qi returned to Chu Yao.
Si Qi held Shen Yindi's hand and suddenly thought of something. She said, "Adi, I just observed something very strange."
