The maid's eyes gradually became dull.
"Who asked you to poison?" Gong Beixuan began to ask.
"Princess Gu!"
When the palace maid said this, everyone was shocked.
The emperor also looked at Concubine Gu, his eyes full of suspicion.
Long Shiyu was arrogant and had always been dissatisfied with Chu Feiyan. He lost the duel and had two fingers cut off. The relationship between the two gradually deteriorated, and it could be said that they were incompatible.
Just because Chu Feiyan reported the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, the Gu family was implicated. Concubine Gu must be holding a grudge, and she is indeed suspected of poisoning.
But he couldn't understand why Long Shifeng was also poisoned?
"Who did Concubine Gu want to harm by poisoning her?" Gong Beixuan asked.
"He wanted to kill Chu Feiyan and her brother, and get rid of the Chu family to avenge the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion and Princess Mingde." The palace maid replied.
"Bitch, what nonsense are you talking about?" Concubine Gu put the Sixth Prince down and ran down, rushing towards the palace maid fiercely.
Ji Song held the sword in his hand horizontally and stopped Gupin, "Madam Gupin, you should calm down now."
Of the four subordinates who entered the palace with them, only Ji Song was allowed to come in for the banquet. Xia An, Xiao Shuyue, and Xie Xing were all waiting outside the palace.
"Your Majesty, this slave girl is talking nonsense. You must not believe her!" Concubine Gu shouted anxiously.
"Capture Concubine Gu!" The emperor looked at her reaction and felt that Concubine Gu was involved in the poisoning.
Two guards came over and held Concubine Gu down.
Concubine Gu was stunned. She couldn't believe that the emperor actually wanted to take her down?
"All of you, get out of here, you lowly dogs and slaves, don't touch me..."
"Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince was murdered. You must avenge him!"
"Shut up!" the emperor shouted angrily, shocking Concubine Gu so much that she shut up immediately.
Chu Feiyan looked at the situation and it seemed that Concubine Gu could not be killed just by the words of this palace maid.
She discussed with the crow, "You think of a solution."
"Wait, I'll go out for a look." The crow changed its body and walked away.
"What benefits did Concubine Gu give you? Why are you working for her?" Gong Beixuan continued to ask the palace maid.
"Gupin didn't do me any good. She was the one who captured my mother and two brothers and threatened me that if I didn't listen to her, she would kill them all!"
"Did you also poison the Sixth Prince?"
Gong Beixuan, like the emperor, was very puzzled about the poisoning of the Sixth Prince.
"I didn't know about the Sixth Prince being poisoned. The poison was given to me by Concubine Gu. I only poisoned Chu Feiyan and Chu Wenzhao."
Gong Beixuan stood up and bowed to the emperor, "Your Majesty, I have finished my questions. It can be seen that it was Concubine Gu who ordered the palace maid to poison. She wanted to kill my national teacher and Chu Feiyan.
The Gu family deserved the punishment, but Concubine Gu held a grudge against them and tried to murder the ministers in the court. Such a vicious and heinous person must be severely punished!"
"I didn't poison him! Your Majesty! I am innocent!" Concubine Gu denied loudly, "The Sixth Prince is my life, how could I poison my own son?
Gong Beixuan, you must have cast some magic on this bitch, causing her to say such words to frame me. You and Chu Feiyan must have poisoned the Sixth Prince, and deliberately poisoned his own tea!
Otherwise, if the Sixth Prince was poisoned, how come the three of you were fine? Chu Feiyan! Feng'er just threw a kumquat at you, is it necessary to poison a child?"
After hearing what Concubine Gu said, the emperor also became suspicious of Gong Beixuan and was unsure for a moment who poisoned him.
Gong Beixuan is the national teacher, so it is not difficult for him to use magic to deceive a person into giving false testimony.
Chu Feiyan didn't say anything, waiting for news from Crow.
Gong Beixuan looked at the emperor's expression and knew what he was thinking.
His eyes were cold and gloomy. "Your Majesty, do you also think that this was poisoned by me?"
The emperor didn't say anything because he felt there were doubts about these people.
Given the character of Gong Beixuan and Chu Feiyan, they would not poison a child, let alone in public!
Concubine Gu is the most likely suspect of poisoning, but he can't understand how the Sixth Prince could have been poisoned as well?
"Little girl." The crow came back with good news, "Find a way to get the emperor to search the palace where Concubine Gu lives. This woman buried something under a sycamore tree in the courtyard. Have someone dig it out and make sure this woman is killed."
"it is good."
Chu Feiyan also came out after hearing this and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, if you don't want others to know, then don't do it. I believe what this palace maid said. As long as a person has done something, it will definitely leave traces.
Since Concubine Gu denied that she was the one who poisoned her, why don't we search the palace where she lives? I believe that the palace where she lives still has poison hidden."
When Concubine Gu heard this, her eyes became panicked. "Chu Feiyan, what are you planning to do now? Don't even think about framing me!"
Gong Beixuan seemed to understand what she was going to do, and he also said, "I beg Your Majesty to check the palace where Concubine Gu lives."
The emperor said nothing, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.
The Sixth Prince is dead. If the person who poisoned him was Concubine Gu, given the personalities of Gong Beixuan and Chu Feiyan, they would definitely not let Concubine Gu go.
He didn't care about Concubine Gu's life or death, but was worried about Long Shiyu who married into the Northern Qi Kingdom.
If Concubine Gu and her son were both dead, given Long Shiyu's temperament, he might directly lead his troops to attack the Kingdom of Longyuan.
Seeing the emperor's flashing eyes, Gong Beixuan sneered in his heart and said, "Your Majesty, I and the Chu brothers were almost killed by Concubine Gu. The evidence is irrefutable. If this matter cannot be resolved, I will resign from the position of Imperial Master, and Your Majesty will invite another expert!"
"If Your Majesty wants to protect Concubine Gu and let the murderer go unpunished, then I will resign from the position of General of the Auxiliary State." Chu Feiyan decided to leave this corrupt court.
"In the end, it's all because my Chu family holds a large number of troops, which makes some people jealous. The Gu family's father and son plotted to kill my parents, and now Concubine Gu wants to poison my sister and me, which makes me feel chilled.
My Chu family has been loyal for generations, and many of them died on the battlefield. Now there are only my sister Zhao'er and I, but we still catch the eyes of these people!
I have decided that the Chu family will retire from the army and return to their ancestral home, far away from Beijing, in order to preserve the last bit of the Chu family's bloodline."
Chu Feiyan's words caused everyone in the hall to sigh, and everyone felt sorry for the Chu family.
"Are you threatening me?" The emperor's face was gloomy. These two people were so bold. Did they think that Longyuan Kingdom could not do without them?
Gong Beixuan raised a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his lips, "If Your Majesty regards my request as a threat, I have nothing to say!"
If the emperor dared to punish him and Chu Feiyan, then the fate of the Long family would be over!
Chu Feiyan knelt on one knee and said, "I beg Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate the matter of Concubine Gu poisoning and give me justice."
Prime Minister Hong, who had been silent the whole time, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, a prince is guilty of the same crime as a commoner! Since this palace maid has confessed that Concubine Gu threatened her to poison her, please investigate thoroughly."
