Chapter 31
Chapter 31
In the side hall, several imperial physicians were treating Concubine Rong.
Although they couldn't explain the reason for the poison in Concubine Rong, they all said that Concubine Rong's body is fine, and she just needs to be nourished to recover.Chu Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that what His Royal Highness gave Concubine Rong was indeed the antidote.
"Your Highness, since Your Majesty is fine, would you like to rest for a while?" Seeing that his face was pale, Chongyang couldn't help being a little worried.
Chu Chen walked outside the hall and stood by the pillar, and said, "His glass of wine was originally for me. Fortunately, my mother and concubine are not in danger of her life, otherwise she would have died for me."
"Since the imperial physician said that the empress is fine, His Highness don't worry any more." Chongyang comforted.
"Chongyang, what do you think the emperor will do with him?" Chu Chen asked.
Chongyang scratched his head and said: "He intends to murder His Highness, he shall be executed according to the law."
"Don't say that I am alive and sound, or that I was really poisoned to death by him. Do you think the father will offend the country of Yao for me?" Chu Chen smiled bitterly: "In the eyes of the father, my life is my life. Probably not even worth mentioning.”
Just now when Chu Chen left the palace banquet with the unconscious Concubine Rong, the emperor was still sitting on the banquet with the national teacher.Everyone present knew that the glass of poisoned wine was given by His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince, but the emperor didn't say anything, neither ordered the person to be seized, nor asked someone to inspect the remaining glass of wine on the spot, it seemed that he was not satisfied Concubine life and death do not care about the general.
Chu Chen only felt infinitely desolate in his heart, but he was not surprised either.
If the emperor did not hesitate to offend the country of Yao for this matter, then Chu Chen would have to look at him differently.
However, for a moment, Chu Chen thought that that person was different from a person like the emperor who had been tainted by power. He even thought that he could win the bet once, but he didn't expect that before the bet could be placed, the gamble had already been blown away!
Proton House.
The Ninth Highness stepped into the gate of the mansion with a chill all over, followed by Tao Qing.
The moment the door of the mansion was closed, His Highness Ninth Prince raised his hand and pinched Tao Qing's neck, and with a sudden force on his hand, he directly pushed him against the hard pillar.There was no restraint in the strength of his hands, and Tao Qing suffocated instantly when he pinched it, his face flushed red.
"I reminded you, keep your mouth shut in front of the national teacher!" His Highness Ninth Prince's eyes were full of hostility, as if he wanted to strangle Tao Qing to death.Tao Qing was so pinched that he couldn't breathe, he grabbed the opponent's hands in vain, big tears flowed from his eyes.
A moment later, at the moment when he was about to lose consciousness, His Highness Jiu's hand loosened his grip, and he lost his strength and slid along the pillar to sit on the ground.
"Your Highness... I really didn't betray you!" Tao Qing said hoarsely: "It's the national teacher... He somehow found Zhu Si on Chu Chen... He came to ask his subordinates, but the subordinates didn't say anything. But he already guessed it based on Juss."
His Highness Ninth Prince's face froze when he heard the words, and he thought of something instantly.
"Then why didn't you tell me about this?" His Highness Jiu asked.
"Subordinates dare not... The national teacher said that if the wine is not given to Chu Chen, he must be given to his subordinates." Tao Qing said.
"Very good." A trace of mockery flashed in His Highness's eyes, and he said coldly: "From now on, you don't have to follow me anymore, you are not allowed to touch my whereabouts and everything related to me, otherwise next time... I'll just break your neck."
His Highness Ninth Prince strode away after saying that, and dropped Tao Qing who was still in shock on the ground.
After returning to the room, His Royal Highness took off/take off the clothes on his body, folded them neatly, and put them back in the box.
What happened today completely exceeded his expectations, but in the final analysis it was all because he was too self-righteous back then.
When Zhu Si first discovered it, he could actually take it out with some effort.But he hesitated, he didn't want Chu Chen's body to be damaged, and he wasn't willing to cut off the connection between him and Chu Chen, so that Zhu Si finally recognized the master.
If he had been more ruthless at the beginning, maybe there would be no change today.
These days, he was afraid that if the national teacher discovered the relationship between Chu Chen and himself, it would be bad for Chu Chen, so he exercised restraint everywhere and did not dare to have the slightest flaw.Until that day in the prince's study, he made the bet with the prince on the spur of the moment. Chu Chen didn't reply to the prince within three days, so he won the bet from the prince.
In return, the prince will do him a favor.
And he, at today's palace banquet, will put forward the request for peace between the two countries.
He thought about it for a long time, anxious and looking forward to it, and today he specially put on the dress that Concubine Rong sewed for him, and the hairpin was also the one given to him by Chu Chen.When it came to the palace banquet, as long as he was sure of Chu Chen's intentions, he would propose marriage in front of the national teacher and the emperor.
At that time, the crown prince will agree with him and help him facilitate this marriage.
Once the relationship between him and Chu Chen was revealed, even if the national teacher was unhappy, he could only acquiesce.
That way, he wouldn't have to hide anymore.
He thought about this matter countless times, listed all possible accidents, and found solutions one by one.In fact, what he was most afraid of was that Chu Chen would not want to go with him, so after he poured Chu Chen a second glass of wine, he waited anxiously for the other party's answer, completely unaware that there was something wrong with the wine.
It wasn't until Concubine Rong coughed up blood that he knew that today's affairs were completely messed up.
And the reason for all this is because of that Zhu Si...
The national teacher was one step ahead of him, which not only made him lose the chance to propose a marriage, but also made him Chu Chen's enemy.He still remembers the way Chu Chen looked at him, the disappointment and anger that he had never seen in the other person's eyes...
This time he lost.
I lost because I couldn't hold my breath, because I cared too much about Chu Chen...
Mingyueju.
Chu Chen left after confirming that Concubine Rong was safe and sound.
After leaving the harem, he saw Lu Jing standing at the intersection from a distance, as if he was waiting for him.
"Is Concubine Rong all right?" Lu Xuan asked.
"The imperial doctor said there is no serious problem." Chu Chen said, "Did you just leave from Father?"
Lu Jing nodded, and said: "The wine majesty asked His Highness Ninth Prince, but His Highness Nine didn't say a word, and the national teacher took the initiative to say that he had put the medicine to nourish the body in His Highness's wine, but accidentally misplaced it. That's why Concubine Rong coughed up blood."
"Fart!" Chu Chen said angrily, "Father, do you believe me now?"
"Because His Royal Highness Jiu also drank the wine, and the remaining half jug, the national teacher drank another glass in front of His Majesty, and confirmed that the wine was indeed fine." Lu Jing said: "Besides, the imperial physician also said that Concubine Rong is fine. It may be difficult to pursue the matter further.”
Chu Chen was full of resentment, but he had nowhere to vent it, so he could only sneer and say, "Young master Lu is right, the national teacher really poured the emperor's soul soup. Don't say it's the fate of the concubine and the king, I'm afraid One day, sooner or later, he doesn't know how he lost his own life."
"I watched His Majesty talking with people today, and found that His Majesty is really not sober. I think we are all right. It is not that simple for him to recover from this illness." Lu Jing sighed and said: "It's disrespectful to say something. Fortunately, there is still a crown prince, so even... Da Chu will not be messed up."
When Chu Chen heard this, a thought flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help feeling a little chill down his back.
Speaking of it, the person who has the best relationship with Yao in the court is not the emperor, but the prince.
He didn't dare to think about it.
I'm afraid I accidentally know something that I shouldn't know.
"Speaking of which, Lord Lu Xiaohou also has some relationship with His Highness the Ninth Prince?" Chu Chen asked.
"It's just superficial skills, there is no deep friendship." Lu Guan said.
Chu Chen turned his head to look at him and asked, "Then Lu Xiaohou thinks, why does His Highness the Ninth Prince want to take my life today?"
"This..." Lu Jing was stunned, and said, "Your Highness should have thought about it a long time ago, why ask Lu?"
"He is the future prince of the Yao Kingdom. It can be said that he is bearing the burden of humiliation as a hostage in Da Chu, but if it is spread that he is a male favorite in my mansion, his prestige will be damaged." Chu Chen said: "So He chose to take my life with poisoned wine at the palace banquet. First, he used my death to completely erase this matter, and second, he demonstrated to his father. After all, his father sent him to me in person. king."
Lu Jing sighed and said, "Your Highness is not angry, do you want to argue with him?"
"No." Chu Chen looked at Lu Jing and said, "Right now, my king is fledgling and can't do anything, so the most important thing is to save my life. The more someone wants me to die, I will live for him."
Lu Jing breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words: "Your Highness is so open-minded, Lu can feel at ease."
"I will give you the answer you asked for that day." Chu Chen said, "I promise you to cooperate with you."
Lu Jing was taken aback, and said in disbelief: "Your Highness...you actually trust Lu so much, Lu is really flattered."
"I don't believe anyone now, it's just that you are a clear-cut man, so you are more wary than others." Chu Chen said.
Lu Jing was a little happy at first, but when he heard this, he was poured cold water.
"As long as our marriage is announced to the world, he will have no reason to kill me." Chu Chen said: "After all, you and I will be of the same mind in the future, even if it is for your face, this king has no reason to bring up another one." The male favorite who is already dead."
Chu Chen said this lightly, but Lu Jing was shocked to hear it.
Lu Jing originally thought that Chu Chen would be hit hard after today, but he never expected that he would become more and more courageous after his setbacks, and his fighting spirit was aroused!
"Does Your Highness have any requests? Lu should prepare in advance." Lu Jing asked cautiously.
"Since it's for others to see, let's make a lot of fanfare." Chu Chen said: "This king personally prepared the dowry gift and went to the Marquis's mansion to propose marriage. Then we will have a big banquet and invite everyone from the whole capital to him. Three days and three nights of the flowing water mat."
Lu Guan: ...
It's over, I just said that His Highness the Sixth Highness was not stimulated, but now I'm crazy!
