After the princess entered the palace, the war god prince broke his back

Chapter 322: The Queen and Prince Ning are under house arrest

Glancing at the surprised queen, the emperor said in a deep voice, "How insolent Princess Yan is!"

The Queen came back to her senses and said to the Emperor with an innocent look, "Your Majesty, the Princess of Yan is making things up. This hairpin was clearly given to me yesterday when she told me that she would heal Rui'er's leg after she gave birth. I was so happy that I gave it to her. How could it be implicated in so many things today? I am not so stupid. As the mother of a country, I can only enjoy my wealth and glory if Bei Xiao is prosperous. How could I do such a stupid thing as destroying the mountains and rivers of Bei Xiao?"

The Queen originally just wanted to treat her son's leg, but Chu Nanyue elevated the case to the national level. She could not bear this accusation, so she guessed that it must have been the idea of ​​Prince Yan, who was thousands of miles away.

But she was not a pushover, so she said cryptically, "The Princess of Yan framed me like this, could it be that she was instructed by someone?"

Chu Nanyue replied: "I was not instructed by anyone. I heard it by accident in the Queen's bedroom yesterday. The Queen said that as long as the news of my mother's poisoning spreads to the front line, it will definitely interfere with the Prince of Yan. As long as the Prince of Yan is defeated this time, he will no longer have a place to stand in the Beixiao Kingdom, and then the 300,000 Beilin Army under his command..."

Having said this, Chu Nanyue did not continue speaking, but quietly looked at the emperor. As expected, the emperor's face immediately darkened, and he slammed the imperial desk: "How outrageous!"

The 300,000 Beilin troops under Xiao Hanye have always been a thorn in his heart, a thorn that he cannot swallow or spit out!

If the King of Yan behaves himself, that will be the most powerful weapon for Bei Xiao.

But he is clearly a restless person...

He admitted that he was excellent, as good as him, but he was not the one in his heart...

The Prince of Yan is not! The Prince of Ning is even less so!

Therefore, he was even more displeased that Prince Ning dared to attack the Beilin Army!

He looked towards the queen with a dim gaze.

The Queen said in panic, "Your Majesty, the Princess of Yan is talking nonsense. Rui'er's legs are now broken, and I am only focused on curing his legs. I dare not have any other thoughts, and I have never had any other thoughts."

Hearing this, the emperor's expression eased slightly, but then he heard Chu Nanyue say, "Father, this is the letter from Prince Yan that I received last night. If it weren't for the Queen Mother's intention to pass on the message, how would the Prince Yan, who is thousands of miles away, know about it?"

Jiang Shou presented the letter to the emperor.

The emperor lowered his eyes and saw that it said: There are many strange things about your mother's poisoning. I will send someone to find a famous doctor. Princess, please remember to do things within your ability and put yourself and your children first in everything. I miss you very much and hope you will come back soon!

Seeing the emperor's face sinking a little, Chu Nanyue pursed her lips and continued, "Only father, mother, and my seventh brother know about mother's poisoning. If it weren't for some people's ill intentions, how would the King of Yan know? The battlefield is changing rapidly and swords are blind. If you are not careful, you will die on the battlefield. Poor prince, not only does he have to deal with hundreds of thousands of Nanye enemy troops, but he also has to distract himself to treat mother... Woo woo... If my prince has an accident because of this, or if he returns to Beijing from the battlefield secretly like last year... Woo woo..."

She cried so hard that tears welled up in her eyes, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

The emperor was annoyed and waved his hand to signal Jiang Shou to help her up. He said in a deep voice: "Princess Yan, pay attention to the fetus in your belly. If something happens to you again, the fourth prince will be really worried. Regarding this matter, I will send someone to investigate it thoroughly!"

Chu Nanyue raised her tearful eyes and choked up, "I don't want to do this either, but I am really worried about the King of Yan. He is devoted to the country, but he is repeatedly framed by villains. Last time, it was the criminal Yao Wenhong who wanted to torture me. Fortunately, the King of Yan arrived in time, otherwise... wuwu... this time someone has used the same old trick to poison his mother... wuwu..."

Concubine Rong, who had been holding her abdomen to endure the pain, suddenly stood up. She pointed at the Queen with an angry look on her face and said, "Queen, I have always respected you, but I didn't expect you to have such evil intentions and want to harm my Han'er. I would rather die than implicate him..."

After saying this, he resolutely hit the bed beam...

"Stop her quickly!" The emperor's face changed drastically and he shouted.

A red shadow flashed by, and then Xiao Yihang hugged Rong Fei with a look of pity on his face: "Mother, how can you be so depressed? If Fourth Brother knew about this, wouldn't he be even less interested in fighting?"

Concubine Rong twitched in his arms: "...Hang'er...ah...it hurts...it hurts so much...ah! Ah! Ah!"

Rong Fei's face was pale, her forehead was covered with cold sweat, and she tightly grasped Xiao Yihang's arm with both hands. The long sharp nails pierced deeply into the flesh, but Xiao Yihang felt no pain. He looked at his mother who was in unbearable pain and shouted repeatedly: "Fourth sister-in-law, fourth sister-in-law, quickly give mother a pain relief!"

Chu Nanyue shook her head: "This poison makes the beauty drunk. As the poison penetrates, the pain goes deep into the bone marrow. There is no medicine to cure it, only the antidote." Then, she turned to the queen and said sternly: "Mother, why don't you hand over the antidote at this point?"

The emperor also shouted: "Queen!"

The queen knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know!"

"Is the Queen going to quibble any more?" At this time, Chu Ziyu, dressed in an official robe, came in and asked in a stern voice.

Looking at Chu Ziyu who suddenly appeared and spoke rudely, the Queen said angrily: "How dare the Dali Temple Minister frame me? Today, in front of the Emperor, you must give me an explanation, otherwise you will be deceiving the Emperor and you will be stripped of your official robes!"

"Empress, please be patient." Chu Ziyu sneered, and then respectfully saluted the emperor: "Your Majesty, I am here to see you. Yesterday, Prince Chen told me that Concubine Rong was poisoned, and asked me to find out the real culprit. Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission and have found out!"

After saying this, he said to the attendant beside him: "Bring the person up!"

Soon, two slaves were brought into the hall.

Chu Nanyue lowered her eyes and looked, and after seeing the faces of the two servants clearly, a smile slowly appeared at the corners of her lips.

The Queen shuddered. One of the two servants was Xing'er, whom she had arranged to be with Concubine Rong, and the other was Mei'er, who was in contact with her in the palace.

She forced herself to stand and glared at the two of them fiercely.

Chu Ziyu slowly said, "Xing'er, Mei'er, you guys go ahead."

Although his words were very gentle, Xing'er and Mei'er couldn't stop trembling after hearing them, especially Mei'er, whose eyes were filled with deep fear. It was unknown whether she was overly frightened by something. She tilted her body and trembled as she told everything: "It was... the Queen... who asked me to hand over Hongyan... Zui to Xing'er... The other servants really... don't know anything..."

Whenever she thought of the horrific and inhuman punishments in the Dali Temple, she trembled all over. Especially when she saw Chu Ziyu's handsome face, she trembled even more.

In the past, she always felt that Yao Wenhong's methods were inhumane, but compared with Chu Ziyu, who had a very good-looking appearance, she was nothing.

How can this be a human? It's clearly the King of Hell!

Chu Nanyue disagreed, as it showed that her elder brother was very suitable for the position of Dali Temple Chief Justice!

This is called high-level tactics!

Look, it would take others several days to solve a case, but her elder brother made Mei'er speak in just one night.

"You damned bitch!" The Queen was furious and said, "Who gave you the guts to frame me? I have always treated you well. It is only because of me that your father, who is suffering from tuberculosis, has money to treat his illness!"

She glared at Mei'er fiercely, full of intimidation and threats.

Sure enough, Mei'er looked at her, then at Chu Ziyu, with an extremely painful expression on her face.

The Queen took advantage of this opportunity and immediately changed her aggrieved look to the Emperor, "Your Majesty, it must be the new Dali Temple Minister who threatened Mei'er, so Mei'er had no choice but to frame me. You have to make a decision for me and have someone investigate this new Dali Temple Minister."

Looking at the dazzling purple official robe, she felt a pang of pain in her heart, as this was clearly what her brother had once worn.

In the past, her brother Yao Wenhong was so glorious, holding the Dali Temple and managing important affairs in the capital, but now he has ended up with both legs crippled and a notorious crime...

Chu Ziyu sneered: "The Dali Temple is no longer what it used to be. All cases are transparent. The Queen is questioning my ability so much. I'm afraid she is dissatisfied with Your Majesty, right?"

Chu Ziyu was neither humble nor arrogant, and his words left the queen speechless.

He continued: "Xing'er, tell me!"

Compared to Mei'er's shock, Xing'er was in good spirits and answered clearly: "It was all my fault that I was confused for a moment and listened to the Queen's words and betrayed Concubine Rong. The Beauty Drunk was indeed given to me by Mei'er..."

Xiao Yihang was so angry that he stepped forward and kicked her down: "How can this be? You are also an old man in the mother's palace. How can you be so crazy and betray the mother and poison her? Do you know the fate of a servant who betrays his master for glory?"

Xing Er spat out a mouthful of blood, climbed up and said, "Prince Chen, calm down. This slave did not mean to do that. It was all because my brother owed a huge sum of money due to gambling. I had no choice but to drug Concubine Rong. But I was careful and only drugged half of the packet of powder..."

Chu Nanyue's eyes lit up: "What about the remaining half bag?"

Xing Er glanced at the Queen before pursing her lips and saying, "I buried it under the apricot tree in the yard..."

Seeing Chu Nanyue and the other imperial doctors studying the half packet of powder together, the queen narrowed her eyes and knelt down to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I did not instruct them to poison Concubine Rong. It was the new Dali Temple Minister who deliberately framed me. You must stand up for me."

She would never admit to such a mistake that disrupted the morale of the army.

The emperor took in the twinkle in her eyes and sneered.

"Haha." At this time, Chu Nanyue sneered, "With all the evidence, mother can still bite back. I really admire her..." After a pause, she suddenly said loudly, "But the net of heaven is vast and nothing can escape it. Mother, do you know the meaning of the strange-smelling poison in this beauty wine?"

The queen was stunned, but Xiao Yihang asked, "What does Fourth Sister-in-law mean?"

Chu Nanyue glanced at the queen and smiled faintly: "The reason why it is called strange fragrance is that this herb seems to be colorless and tasteless, but in fact it will release a strange fragrance when it is touched by alum. Anyone who has been in contact with this herb within a month will release it."

Upon hearing this, the queen's face changed drastically.

Chu Ziyu sneered, bowed his head and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother keeps saying that it was me who framed her. If that's the case, then find the people in the Queen's Palace to test them one by one and you will know..." After a pause, he added quietly, "Including Prince Ning!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the hall had different expressions.

The queen's face was tense, and the emperor's face was heavy: "Queen...what else do you have to say?"

Although his words sounded serious, if you listened carefully you could still hear the suppressed anger in them.

The queen's delicate face showed an undisguised panic. She pursed her lips, gritted her teeth and raised her head and said, "Your Majesty, it's unjust..."

The emperor snorted coldly: "It's already this time, and you're still wronged? Then let's test them one by one!"

The Queen knelt down and said, "I did give Sister Rong the Red Beauty Drunk, but Rui'er didn't know about it. And my original intention was not to interfere with the King of Yan on the battlefield. The reason why I had to do this was because I was a mother who loved her son..."

Her eyes were filled with tears, and her expression was sad and helpless: "Rui'er is a child of destiny, but he has become a cripple. As a mother, how can I watch him suffer such a calamity? He is obviously excellent in everything, but now he is accompanied by wine all day long. The injury is in his body and the mother is heartbroken. As a mother, how can I not plan for my son? The Princess of Yan can obviously treat him, but she refused on the grounds of the child in her belly. This is why I lost my mind for a while. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me this time!

Your Majesty, Rui'er is also your son..."

She was in tears and her expression was heartfelt, as if she was just a poor mother who was planning for her son.

"Stupid!" The emperor cursed, "How could I not worry about Rui'er's leg? But the child in Princess Yan's belly is equally important. How could you not even wait for a few months? As the mother of a country and the head of the harem, you took the lead in poisoning concubines. Such a despicable act is unworthy of being the mother of a country. Moreover, if this implicates the soldiers charging on the battlefield, you deserve to die. You are so stupid!"

Although the emperor was furious, the queen was obviously calm because the emperor did not mention her Rui'er at all...

But just because he didn't mention it doesn't mean others won't mention it.

"Your Majesty, how could the Queen, as a woman in the deep palace, be intoxicated by the beauties in the martial arts world..." Chu Ziyu opened his mouth slowly, but stopped at the right time.

The emperor narrowed his eyes and raised his hand: "The queen has behaved badly, but considering her devotion to her son, she should temporarily stay in the palace to reflect on her mistakes. She cannot leave without being summoned." After a pause, he added, "Prince Ning has a leg problem, so he should stay at home and he does not need to come to court anymore."

After these words were spoken, the queen completely collapsed to the ground.

The emperor has completely abandoned her and Prince Ning.

She was filled with resentment and resentment, but she had no choice but to kneel and leave with the Imperial Guards...
