Quick Wear: Crazy Female Supporting Role She is Bai Yueguang
Chapter 161 Black Lotus Tears the Cannon Fodder Script (32)
Emperor Mingde's face was extremely gloomy. He looked coldly at everyone in the hall, as if he was thinking about something.
At this time, King Xiaoyao's men brought the maid to Emperor Mingde and said respectfully.
"Your Majesty, this person is a maidservant in the Eastern Palace who serves His Highness medicine. She knows who is responsible for this!"
Concubine Yu was shocked and slammed her hands on the table, saying coldly, "Why don't you tell me quickly? If you hide anything, I will never forgive you!"
Amidst the crowd, Shi Xiaoyun suddenly felt uneasy. Imperial Concubine Yu had never gotten along with the late Empress, and had even attacked the Crown Prince several times. Now that she was so concerned, there was only one possibility...
What are she and King Xiaoyao planning?
Shi Qing recognized the maid. She was the maid in the East Palace who cooked medicine for the prince. Her name was Dong'er. Last time, she was reprimanded by Mo Bai for deliberately seducing the prince. After that, she only did odd jobs in the East Palace.
The meaning of King Xiaoyao bringing this woman out is self-evident.
Dong'er knelt down, kowtowed heavily to the emperor, and spoke in a trembling voice.
"Your Majesty, I am a maidservant serving the Crown Prince in the Eastern Palace. I had no intention of interfering in this matter. However, the Crown Prince has shown me great kindness. I cannot bear to see His Majesty in such imminent danger while concealing the truth, even though... I know I am insignificant."
Shi Qing and Xuanyuan Heng looked at each other and took in the situation at a glance.
"Tell me everything you know."
Emperor Mingde rubbed his brows. The truth and falsehood were mixed together, and the prince was critically ill, which disturbed his thoughts.
"It was done by Ning'an Marquis' wife Shi Qing. I saw her put the drug into the medicine I prepared for His Highness. The Crown Prince treated her so well and regarded her as his mentor.
I don't understand why Madam is so cruel to His Highness! I am a humble servant, but my words carry no weight. I know I have made a grave mistake!
King Xiaoyao's gaze fell on Xuanyuan Heng, and he took the opportunity to speak.
"Your Majesty, what is Shi Qing, a mere woman, doing to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? In my humble opinion, it is Xuanyuan Heng who has developed rebellious thoughts and is dissatisfied with his current position as Marquis. It is..."
Yu Xiang and King Xiaoyao were now on the same side, so he quickly offered his help.
"Your Majesty, what the prince said is very true. I'm afraid this matter is closely related to Ning Anhou. Your Highness's life is now hanging by a thread. Please Your Majesty, make a decision for Your Highness!"
Mo Bai became a little anxious when he heard this. His Highness trusted Shi Qing the most, so how could she do such a thing?
He quickly knelt down and spoke for Shi Qing.
"Your Majesty, if Madam Ning'an wanted to take action, she had several chances when Your Highness became ill from worry, but she didn't. She gave Your Highness the courage to live again. How could she possibly take Your Highness's life?
Besides, this maid originally wanted to climb up the social ladder, but was punished by His Highness. I think she was resentful and that’s why she acted like this…”
Concubine Yu said coldly, "You are such a traitor! His Highness treats you so well, yet you are speaking for someone else! Did you receive some kind of bribe?"
Emperor Mingde glanced at Mo Bai and said in a deep voice, "This matter has nothing to do with you. Take good care of His Highness."
Mo Bai felt a little aggrieved, and felt sorry for the Ning Anhou couple, but he was powerless and his words carried no weight, so he couldn't prove anything.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
In the court, King Xiaoyao's followers knelt down in unison and requested that Xuanyuan Heng be punished. After all, there were witnesses and evidence.
Even if the emperor trusts Xuanyuan Heng, this trust is insignificant compared to the safety of the prince.
Xuanyuan Heng was a sharp sword in the hands of Emperor Mingde. Only when he died could he have a place in the court.
Emperor Mingde felt somewhat embarrassed. He finally glanced at Xuanyuan Heng and said in a deep voice, "You've been very tired recently. You and your wife are newlyweds. Go back to your residence and rest well for a while."
Xuanyuan Heng's expression remained unchanged, as if he was not the one being rebuked.
He said calmly, "Yes, I understand."
Emperor Mingde added, "As for the military power in your hands, you will hand it over to me now. I will summon you again in the future."
King Xiaoyao's expression changed slightly, and he looked a little unhappy.
He originally wanted to take the opportunity to seize Xuanyuan Heng's military power, but he didn't expect that Emperor Mingde would take the military power away directly. He didn't know whether he was guarding against him.
Xuanyuan Heng took out the tiger talisman, walked to the side of Emperor Mingde, and placed the tiger talisman on the desk.
Emperor Mingde said to the eunuch beside him, "Come here, send the Ning'an Marquis and his wife back to their residence."
Shi Xiaoyun's face changed slightly. Could it be that the emperor suspected Xuanyuan Heng? Who knows how difficult the situation of the Marquis' Mansion would be.
He lost his temper and wanted to defend Xuanyuan Heng. It was obvious that someone was using the incident in the Eastern Palace to frame his sister.
However, Concubine Yu and King Xiaoyao were too impatient and now wanted to drag Xuanyuan Heng into the water.
Shi Qing quickly stopped Shi Xiaoyun and said in a deep voice, "There's no need to rush this matter. Yun'er, remember to take good care of His Highness and don't let his condition worsen."
Shi Xiaoyun saw that Shi Qing was very calm, as if he had a plan for everything, and his originally worried heart gradually calmed down.
"Yes, sister."
Sister wouldn't make any useless plans, and he really shouldn't be so impulsive. He could only look for opportunities to help.
After Xuanyuan Heng and his wife left, Emperor Mingde rubbed his brows and said, "Well, it's getting late, you should go back and rest."
Wen Liang, the adopted son of Prince Xiaoyao, took the opportunity to say, "Your Majesty, Your Highness is unwell. I am willing to serve Your Highness."
Shi Xiaoyun had been plotted against by Wen Liang when he was in the academy, and knew that this person had a vicious mind. He might also be involved in today's drama.
Emperor Mingde was about to speak when Shi Xiaoyun also knelt down and said respectfully.
"I have been studying with Your Highness for a long time and know your eating habits. How about I take care of Your Highness?"
Wen Liang didn't want anyone to take away his credit, as this was an opportunity he had worked so hard to find.
"Your Highness's poisoning is closely related to Marquis Ning'an. Lord Shi, you and Marquis Ning'an have a close relationship, don't you?"
Shi Xiaoyun retorted without changing his expression.
"Your Majesty has not directly convicted me, so the matter remains unresolved. Furthermore, the murderer dared to attack Your Highness, so I'm afraid he must have someone in the palace. I don't have that kind of power. I was once supported by Your Highness, and I'm grateful for your kindness."
Wen Liang had never been able to compete with Shi Xiaoyun. He snorted coldly and refused to pay any more attention to Shi Xiaoyun.
Emperor Mingde saw everything and finally appointed Shi Xiaoyun and Mo Bai to take care of the prince.
The banquet ended like this. Emperor Mingde was worried all night. At dawn, the prince woke up weakly.
Emperor Mingde ordered people to block the news, and at the same time, secretly protected the prince, and no one was allowed to approach the Eastern Palace.
The court was in turmoil. Marquis Ning'an, who was favored just a few days ago, was imprisoned in the marquis's mansion today and no one was allowed to approach him. It must be said that everything is changing.
Because the crown prince was seriously ill, Emperor Mingde, who had been in good health, suddenly fell ill.
Emperor Mingde took care of the crown prince in the Eastern Palace and did not care about other matters. The court was almost dominated by King Xiaoyao and the Yu family.
The affairs of the court were handed over to the fifth prince Zong Zhenghao to handle, with King Xiaoyao as his assistant.
That night, Concubine Yu and King Xiaoyao had a secret conversation until late at night, and finally the two reached a cooperation agreement to conquer the country.
Zong Zhenghao, who originally had no interest in the throne, was forced to take the position and deal with official duties every day.
In the imperial court, King Xiaoyao used swift and decisive measures to convict ministers loyal to the crown prince and ministers promoted by Xuanyuan Heng on trumped-up charges, imprisoned them in the Sky Prison, and directly kicked them out of the center of political power.
For a time, the people in the court were in a panic, and in the end, some of them defected to King Xiaoyao in order to protect themselves. For a time, his power was unparalleled.
King Xiaoyao lived an increasingly comfortable life. He arranged his own staff at the dock and also took care of the salt sales.
As for Shi Jianye, he was also promoted again and served as the Minister of Rites of the court.
Shi Jianye was overjoyed and was willing to be King Xiaoyao's vanguard, doing a lot of things for him in secret.
Once he turned his fortunes around, King Xiaoyao was so proud that he ordered people to secretly make a dragon robe. Although he had an agreement with the Yu family to support Zong Zhenghao to succeed to the throne in the future, his greed grew.
*
Shi Luoyi's life became smoother and smoother, but Yue Niang's belly was getting bigger and bigger, and she was always looking for an opportunity to get rid of the baby in her belly.
King Xiaoyao had been busy with social engagements recently, and this finally gave her an opportunity. She prepared a few dishes in the kitchen and sent them to Yue Niang's room.
That night, Yue Niang miscarried the baby in her belly.
When King Xiaoyao returned home and learned about this, he hugged Yue Niang in his arms to comfort her. At the same time, after finding out that it was Shi Luoyi who harmed people, he slapped Shi Luoyi hard and ordered his men to put Shi Luoyi under house arrest.
"I kept you here because I saw you were so magnanimous. I didn't expect you to be so petty. If that's the case, I won't keep you here anymore. I'm going to divorce you!"
After saying that, he ordered someone to boil a bowl of safflower medicine and gave it to Shi Luoyi to drink.
"Your Majesty, I have your child in my belly, you can't do this to me!"
No matter how Shi Luoyi begged, King Xiaoyao did not forgive Shi Luoyi.
"Don't think I'm stupid. I don't know whose child you're carrying."
Shi Luoyi was slightly stunned. It seemed that she had been seen through long ago. She knelt down and begged for King Xiaoyao's forgiveness.
"Your Majesty, I just want to have a child. Wen Liang and I are just having a casual fling. I still like you."
King Xiaoyao sneered, he had never seen such a stupid woman, he kicked Shi Luoyi in the heart.
"It turns out that the adulterer is Wenliang."
Shi Luoyi, "..."
She suddenly realized that King Xiaoyao was plotting against her. No matter how she explained, King Xiaoyao did not give her a chance to speak.
Shi Luoyi was kicked out of Xiaoyao Palace. She had nowhere else to go and could only return to the Shi family in shame.
Yue Niang was so heartbroken after losing her child that she jumped into the river and committed suicide in front of King Xiaoyao.
Prince Xiaoyao was a little crazy. He could not bear such a heavy blow, so he joined forces with Concubine Yu and prepared to force the emperor to abdicate.
He pretended to cooperate with the imperial concubine and promised Zong Zhenghao the throne. Both the Yu family and the Cui family placed their bets.
This world will soon belong to the Yu family!
Zong Zhenghao naturally didn't dare to do so. No matter how Prince Xiaoyao plotted, he was unwilling to get involved in the matter. Concubine Yu said that he was pedantic and useless. When he was at a loss, Princess Yongning appeared.
"Mother, I am willing to work with you to conquer the world."
