Chapter 122

Su Qiruo raised her eyes to look at Delai, Delai immediately bowed and retreated, and the palace servants who were waiting on her side also left.

De Lai stood guard at the door of the imperial study, not knowing what happened in the hall, but heard the sound of broken porcelain.

Delai shook his head helplessly, he thought His Highness Ninth Prince was a smart boy, why did he anger the emperor again?

"No one is allowed to say what happened today, be careful with your heads."

De Lai warned the few palace servants guarding the door that the emperor was in a good mood these days, and he hadn't been as angry as he is today for a long time.

I don't know what the children inside said to make the emperor so angry, it's a pity that the bowl of good soup.

After Su Qiruo, Su Yike and Zhang Yurui left, the emperor ordered Delai to guard the imperial study and not allow anyone to enter.

So much so that when Su Xinlan came to pay his respects later, he didn't even see the emperor's face.

In the imperial study room, standing in front of the emperor was a man in black with no expression on his face. Even De Lai had never seen this man before.

"Go and investigate Su Xinlan yourself. If he is really colluding with the Zhang family, then collect the evidence."

"Yes."

"Send more people to keep an eye on the Zhang family's movements, that old man is still restless after going back to the countryside."

"Yes."

"By the way, I sent a few people to watch over the East Palace and the Mo family. Although I believe in Mo Ziyang's character, I can't guarantee that the rest of the Mo family will definitely not seek refuge with the princess."

Now that she is still alive, the military power cannot be controlled by the daughters, not even the crown daughter.

As for Su Qiruo and Su Yike, the emperor didn't even bother to doubt them.

If the two of them were planning to rebel, they would not have risked their lives to tell her about it today, and would have just waited for Su Xinlan to poison her to death and force her into the palace, and they would bring someone to escort her.

After all, the two daughters she was least optimistic about were the most filial.

The emperor couldn't guarantee that if the princess got the news of Su Xinlan's rebellion, he would personally come and tell her, risking being punished.

"Where are the Eighth and Ninth Highnesses..."

The woman in black couldn't figure out what the emperor was thinking, so she hesitated.

"The two children don't need it. They don't care about it at all."

The emperor waved to the man in black, and after he left, she sat weakly on the chair behind her.

Her daughters are either devoted to power and deny their relatives, or they are devoted to love and don't even look at the glory and wealth.
Thinking of Su Qiruo wholeheartedly protecting Mo Xingyi, the emperor sighed helplessly.

Forget it, she doesn't have to use a child to succeed.

Lao Jiu has always been very obedient and obedient these years. The first time she refuted her today was because of the child of the Mo family. It seems that she, as a mother, cared too little about the children, and now she actually knows the identity of her daughters. thought.

The crown prince wanted to maintain her position as the crown prince wholeheartedly, and the fifth child always wanted to pull the crown maid from that position and sit on it by himself.

Lao Bazhi is not in the court, and has no intention of power; Lao Jiu is devoted to the little prince of the Mohist family, and doesn't care about power and status at all.

The remaining few small ones are not yet effective at the moment, and none of them are worry-free.

But small fights are fine, if anyone dares to force the palace to rebel, it will be a serious crime of beheading.

Don't say which imperial daughter it is, even the princess, as long as she has such thoughts, she will definitely not be able to stay.

"Zhang Yuangan, Zhang Yuangan, are you really going to attack me?"

The emperor's mood at this time was indescribably tangled, and his heart was twisted into several knots.

Disappointment, sadness, joy, determination...

On the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor suddenly became seriously ill. Under the leadership of the empress, all the princes and servants of the harem came to attend to the illness. Several princesses also rushed into the palace, but only the fifth prince, Su Xinlan, was nowhere to be seen.

Seeing the pale-faced person lying on the bed, the prince's tears rolled down his face.

"What's the matter, Queen Mother?"

Several imperial physicians looked at each other, and then whispered: "The emperor seems to be poisoned..."

"What? Poisoned?"

The princess was stunned. Who would be so bold as to poison the Queen Mother?

"Delai, what's going on?"

"If you go back to His Royal Highness, the old slave doesn't know!"

Delai's eyes were already red from crying, and even his voice was hoarse from crying, so he looked pitiful.

"You have been serving the Queen Mother all the time, how could you not know?"

The princess glared round, raised her foot and was about to kick Delai, but fortunately, Su Qiruo and Su Yike who were on the side had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and stopped him.

If Delai's old bones were kicked a few times, he might be killed.

"Sister Huang, don't be impulsive. You can't blame Aunt Delai for this matter. We'd better wait for the imperial doctor's diagnosis before we talk about it!"

Su Qiruo actually received a lot of help from De Lai, and today she helped De Lai to speak, it was not because of her kindness, but she has always had a temperament of repaying kindness and revenge.

"You guys, show the empress quickly, and make sure the empress wakes up."

The empress yelled at the several imperial physicians with red eyes, she rushed over as soon as she received the news, she never thought that the empress was poisoned, wasn't she all well before?
"Aunt Delai, did your mother eat anything before she fell into a coma?"

Su Yike frowned and looked at Delai. Although she knew in her heart that this might be a trick of the emperor to lure the enemy, she still couldn't help feeling a little worried.

If something really happened to the Queen Mother today, then all of them will be buried with her.

Su Xinlan hated the Empress Dowager very much, and even the sisters like them were tired of it. If she came to the throne, no one would let her go.

Delai wiped away his tears, raised his eyes to look at the crowd and said, "Before the emperor only... only used a cup of soup that Zhang Dejun sent over."

"what?"

The queen immediately changed her face, looked at the servants kneeling on the ground and asked sharply, "Where is Zhang Yuan moving?"

All the servants looked at each other and shook their heads.

Zhang Dejun has always looked down on these princes and servants, so how could he be with them?
Only then did the princess realize that something was wrong, and her face turned pale with shock.

"Lou Ziqing, did you see the fifth emperor's daughter enter the palace?"

Lou Ziqing, the commander of the Royal Forest Army, stood guard outside the hall as soon as he received the news. At this time, when he heard His Royal Highness calling her, he bowed and appeared at the door.

Without raising his head, he said: "When I go back to Your Royal Highness, I haven't seen the fifth emperor's daughter enter the palace."

"No, quickly send someone to look for Zhang Dejun, and be sure to catch him."

The queen was the first to react. Since he entered the palace, he also read a lot of unofficial court history.

The emperor fell into a coma after drinking the soup sent by Zhang Dejun, and the fifth imperial daughter refused to enter the palace. Zhang Dejun also disappeared at this time. This is clearly the action before the treason!

"Father, what is going on?"

The princess still couldn't believe what she was thinking until now.
