After wearing books, I was spoiled by my nemesis

Chapter 121

The matter of poisoning the emperor soon came to fruition. A young father-in-law saw a court lady walking to the porridge and stopped by the porridge for a long time.

Empress Zhang ordered someone to bring the court lady over, and only after interrogation did she find out that she was someone close to Concubine Liu Gui.
It's Concubine Liu Gui.

Empress Zhang was worried that she would not be able to catch Concubine Liu Gui, but now it's over, she committed suicide.

She sternly said: "Bring Concubine Liu Gui here."

Not long after, Concubine Liu Gui came over. She was supported by the maid, pretending to be weak, wiping her sweat for a while, and supporting her waist for a while.

She also heard about the arrest of the maid beside her. She didn't expect this incident to be revealed. Obviously, the poison she poisoned would not be diagnosed by the doctor, but would only be diagnosed as a sudden illness, but that Zhao Ying'er was broken. She's thoughtfully designed everything.

"Empress, I heard that you are looking for me. Does the emperor want to see me again? I feel a little uncomfortable today. This woman is lazy after she is pregnant."

Empress Zhang's eyeballs were about to pop out, what!The bitch is pregnant again!

"Do you recognize this maid?"

Concubine Liu Gui looked down at the maid who was kneeling on the ground and said, "I can't see clearly. There are many maids in the palace. How can I know all of them? What's wrong? Why did the Empress suddenly ask me this maid, did she do anything wrong? "

Empress Zhang snorted coldly, this seductive woman really knows how to pretend.

"She poisoned the emperor's food, and she is the maid by your side, you will recognize her."

When Concubine Liu Gui heard this, she quickly put away her smiling face, stepped forward and kicked the maid to the ground.

"You court lady is too bold. You dared to murder the emperor. Do you know that this is a capital crime? Come and drag her down and execute her."

The palace maid hurriedly got up and begged for mercy, crying and saying, "My lady, it's you..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Concubine Liu Gui slapped her across the face: "You still dare to quibble, quickly pull her down."

Empress Zhang stopped the person who was going to take the maid down, she said: "Wait a minute, she is just a little maid, if she hadn't been ordered by someone, how would she dare to murder the emperor, why don't we listen to what she has to say first."

Concubine Liu Gui panicked now. This maid is indeed someone close to her. She didn't reuse this maid before, but something happened a few days ago, which made her feel that this maid could do things for her, but she never thought that she could do things for her. I was caught on the first day of work, bad luck.

"Well, if I don't let you interrogate her, it will look like I have a ghost."

Concubine Liu Gui stared at the palace lady fiercely, if she dared to say anything, she would kill her immediately.

Empress Zhang said to the maid: "Don't be afraid, as long as you plead guilty actively, you will be punished lightly, especially if you tell why you wanted to harm the emperor, whether you came up with it yourself or someone ordered you to do it."

The palace maid was so frightened that she shivered, she knew it would be this kind of result, the crime of harming the emperor alone would make her unable to live, so no matter whether she said or not, she would die now.

She looked at Concubine Liu Gui with remorse on her face. She knew that she would not have allowed Concubine Liu Gui to do such a thing. After all, she was blinded by lard, thinking that relying on the big tree Concubine Liu Gui, she would be in the palace in the future. You won't be bullied by others, and you can hold your head up.

"Just say it, I have this palace to make the decision for you."

Queen Zhang said softly.

The maid lowered her head and wept, because she knew she had no way out.

Concubine Liu Gui was still staring at her viciously, as if she wanted to swallow her alive.

"Yeah, just say what you have to say. You have to confess your guilt straightforwardly, especially if you have been instructed by someone. As long as you confess with a better attitude, your family will not be hurt."

When the maid heard about her family members, she was so frightened that she didn't dare to breathe out, she covered her mouth and suppressed crying.

Concubine Liu Gui said sharply again: "Tell me, why are you crying? You have committed a crime and even implicated me. Why are you pretending to be dumb?"

As she spoke, she kicked the maid again, and when the maid stood up again, she said, "It's the slave who wants to kill the emperor."

"Why are you doing this?"

Queen Zhang asked.

"There was a time when the servant wanted to get close to the emperor, but was reprimanded by the emperor. The servant hated the emperor, and only found an opportunity to poison her today."

Concubine Liu Gui showed a smug look on her face, which made Empress Zhang feel itchy with hatred.

"You have to know the consequences of poisoning the emperor. Not only will you be executed, but your family members will also be beheaded."

The maid panicked when she heard this: "It was done by the servant alone, it has nothing to do with my parents."

"Poison the emperor and punish the nine clans."

These words split the palace maid like a thunderbolt, she was stunned for a second, then looked at Concubine Liu Gui, but Concubine Liu turned her face away, and said urgently: "My Lady, Concubine Gui, please help me!" Parents, I will die when I die, whoever made me make a mistake, but my family members are innocent, please save them."

Concubine Liu Gui said with a look of disgust: "I will take responsibility for what I do, but I will ask the emperor for mercy on your family's behalf."

The maid closed her eyes when she heard this, and tears flowed from her closed eyes.

As long as her family can live and live well, she is willing to bear all this.

Empress Zhang asked again: "Is it true that you made your own decision to poison the emperor?"

"Yes."

"Come here, pull her out, arrest her family members, and behead them all for public display."

The maid raised her tearful eyes to look at Concubine Liu Gui: "Your Majesty, you must remember to promise me."

Concubine Liu Gui smiled contemptuously, and then said: "I am kind, I only agreed to speak for your family for the sake of master and servant."

Zhao Ying'er saw that the palace maid was dragged down, and knew that she had become a victim in the palace battle again. She was afraid that Concubine Liu Gui would not intercede for her family, but just perfunctory her.

After the poisoner was taken away, nothing happened here, so Zhao Ying'er and Chu Yun left the palace.

When I got back to my residence, I lay down in the shade to cool off.

In this way, on the second day, when the court lady who poisoned the emperor was crying in prison, Jiuye walked in and told her that her family would be killed at noon today, and that she would have the last meal in her life.

The maid said in disbelief: "Impossible, the imperial concubine promised to intercede for my family."

"She didn't tell the emperor about this at all. She was just lying to you. I think you should know why she lied to you. It's still too late to repent and save your family."

The maid thought of her 12-year-old brother and her amiable parents, her heart was shaken, and she couldn't hurt her family because of her own fault.

"If I repent now, is there still time?"

"In time."

The maid then told the story of Concubine Liu Gui instructing her to poison her. When Jiu Ye heard about it, she went back and told Chu Yun, who in turn told Queen Zhang about it.

Empress Zhang reported the matter to the emperor, and the emperor had woken up. Although he was still in poor health, he was out of danger.

He was furious when he heard Queen Zhang's words. He didn't expect that his beloved concubine would want to kill him.

"Bring Concubine Liu Gui here, I will ask her personally."

Liu Guifei was summoned by the emperor, and she was still complacent, thinking that she was so charming that the emperor couldn't do without her, but when she walked in front of the emperor, she saw Queen Zhang and Chu Yun were there, she didn't know what happened, she thought The emperor's condition became serious again, so he walked over pretendingly.

"Your majesty, the concubine is here, why are you uncomfortable?"

The emperor felt very disgusted when he saw Concubine Liu Gui acting. Who knew that there was a vicious heart hidden under her harmless face.

"Concubine Liu Gui, I really never thought that you are the one who wants to harm me again and again."

"What are you talking about, the emperor, the concubine can't understand."

Concubine Liu Gui's face turned pale, and a bad premonition filled her mind.

"You don't understand, right? Okay, I'll let you understand, Zhong Kui, bring someone up."

Two maids were brought here, one was the maid who poisoned her, and the other was her personal maid. She was covered in blood from the beating. It seemed that she had been tortured. No wonder I haven't seen her since this morning. .

"Your Majesty, what happened to them, why did you bring them here?"

"You two tell me what you know."

The matter has been found out, and the two maids did not dare to hide it, so they told all the things they knew, as well as the matter of poisoning the emperor's meals every day.

Upon hearing this, Concubine Liu Gui quickly knelt down and shouted for injustice.

"They are slandering my concubines. The concubines treat the emperor wholeheartedly. How could they harm the emperor? Someone must have bought them and wanted to put the concubines to death."

One of the maids said: "My servant saw that the imperial concubine often met with Eunuch Li. If the emperor doesn't believe me, you can ask Eunuch Li. What this servant is telling is the truth, not a single lie."

This made the emperor even more furious, and she also colluded with the people around her.

"Eunuch Li."

Eunuch Li was standing at the door. After hearing what they said, he knew that the matter had been exposed, so he walked in, wanting to take the blame on himself.

"Your Majesty, it was the slave who asked the concubine to do this. The slave has always been serving the emperor, and he can only be a slave for the rest of his life. Therefore, the slave no longer wants to be a slave. The slave also wants to be the master, so he threatened the concubine and asked her to do things for me. "

Empress Zhang thought it was ridiculous when she heard it. Eunuch Li was just a eunuch, how could he control Concubine Liu Gui? At this time, he took the blame for her. It seems that he is not afraid of death, no, not only that he is not afraid of death, maybe the two of them There is still a leg.

"You are just a slave, how can a slave threaten the master."

"The servant and the imperial concubine are from the same town. I knew that she liked a scholar before entering the palace, and often went out to play with that scholar, so the servant threatened her with this matter. If she doesn't listen to the servant, the servant will tell the emperor about it. Let her be sidelined, she is afraid, so she has to agree."

Chu Yun's mouth moved, he really wanted to ask Eunuch Li, do you believe what you say?

"It doesn't matter what you say, this matter must be strictly investigated." Empress Zhang said to the emperor again: "Your Majesty, Concubine Liu Gui colluded with Eunuch Li to poison your meal, this matter must be investigated carefully, and Eunuch Li said that he and Concubine Liu Gui knew each other before they entered the palace, so I'm afraid there is some unclear relationship between the two of them."

The emperor was even more furious when he heard this, and his anger hit his heart, causing him to cough violently. While coughing, he said, "Pull this bitch down, I don't want to see her."

A guard came in and took a few people out. Empress Zhang smiled victoriously when she saw it, and eliminated another opponent. As long as her Zhao'er recovered from her illness, she would definitely let the emperor make Zhao'er the crown prince.

After this incident was over, Chu Huaiyuan, who was worrying in the mansion, was also a little shocked when he heard this incident. He didn't expect Concubine Liu Gui to be found out so early. He remembered that Concubine Liu Gui in the previous life killed his father. She also wanted her son to become the emperor, but her conspiracy failed only when people exposed what she had done.

This life is a bit unusual, there are too many changes, and Zhao Rongrong was also sent back to the Zhao Mansion, he is in the midst of missing, the so-called not seeing each other in a day, like three autumns, he is thinking about how to be with her all the time, want to come After thinking about it, he finally thought of a way, that is to go to Zhao's mansion to make a dowry, and Guangming will marry her into the mansion, so that she will be his.

After Chu Huaiyuan thought this way, he asked people to find a matchmaker, go to the Zhao Mansion to make a marriage proposal, and told Mr. Zhao to buy a betrothal gift.

When Mr. Zhao saw Chu Huaiyuan coming to offer the betrothal gift, what else could he say, it was a great joy for his Rongrong to come back alive, and just after returning, Chu Huaiyuan came to propose marriage again, which was even more joyful.

To say that this Chu Huaiyuan is also a prince, and he is also very prominent among the several princes. It is quite good that his Rong Rong can be favored by this prince.

Mr. Zhao happily accepted the dowry and entertained him warmly.

Zhao Rongrong was in the house, and she stood up after hearing the news. She didn't expect that Chu Huaiyuan would chase after her as soon as she got home. She was really haunted. She didn't want to marry him because he was despicable.

She walked towards the hall to refuse his marriage proposal.

When she came to the hall, he saw Master Zhao and Chu Huaiyuan chatting speculatively. When Master Zhao saw her coming, he said, "Rongrong, why don't you come and see the prince."

Zhao Rongrong walked over and bowed, and then said: "Father, I don't like him, and I don't want to marry him."

"Nonsense, the order of your parents, the words of the matchmaker, there is no room for you to refute, and the prince has true feelings for you, so don't be willful and go back to the house."

Master Zhao was furious, he didn't understand what happened to Zhao Rongrong, she was always obedient and obedient, how dare she disobey him this time.

"I just don't like him. If my father insists on me marrying, I'd rather be the orphan who lost his memory."

Master Zhao hurriedly explained to Chu Huaiyuan: "My lord, my little girl is ignorant, so I made you laugh."

Chu Huaiyuan thought of this situation, and he said: "It's okay, Miss Zhao, don't rush to reject me, you can give me a chance, we get along, if after getting along, if you still don't like me, I will never force you .”

"Okay, what you said, a gentleman's words are hard to follow."

"This king means what he says."

Seeing Zhao Rongrong being fooled, Chu Huaiyuan smiled, as long as it was a woman who promised him to propose marriage, whoever dared to marry would be his sooner or later.

And Zhao Rongrong didn't know Chu Huaiyuan's plan yet, she thought she could call off the engagement if she didn't have feelings for him after getting along with him for a while.
