Su Qiruo always felt that something was wrong with Chu Moyan, so she summoned the hidden guards.

"Go to the Mo Shu Hall and ask if His Highness the Ninth Prince has encountered any grievances in the past few days."

She felt that it was likely that someone had bullied Chu Moyan in the past few days, which made him look so preoccupied.

The hidden guard took the order to leave, Su Qiruo pondered for a moment, always felt that she was thinking too much.

Today's harem has no elders, and there are not many palace servants left behind. Most of them were sent out of the palace after the death of the former emperor. It stands to reason that there should be someone who does not have eyesight to bully the Ninth Prince who is favored by the Taifu.

But Chu Moyan's appearance clearly shows that he has something on his mind that he doesn't want to say, and what does he mean by asking her politely if she understands medical skills?

The dark guard soon came back after inquiring.

"The Ninth Prince is going down to deliver some snacks to the emperor?"

"Yes, not only His Highness the Ninth Highness, but the other Highnesses also ordered someone to send some food to the emperor, all of which they made themselves."

Su Qiruo tightened her eyebrows, and said seriously: "Go and tell the people in Qianqing Palace that no matter who delivers the food, as long as it enters the mouth of the emperor, they must check carefully."

"Yes."

Su Qiruo always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell the specifics.

Until the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, people from Qianqing Palace came to look for Su Qiruo in a hurry.

"Master, it's not good, something happened at Qianqing Palace."

Su Hong stood outside the hall, and said anxiously.

Su Qiruo jumped up from the bed suddenly, pulled the clothes on casually, opened the door and rushed out without even taking the cloak.

"Is something wrong with the emperor?"

Su Hong quickly shook her head: "Master, don't worry, the emperor is fine. It's just... poison was found in the glutinous rice balls sent to the emperor by several highnesses, and the inner room where the food was tested was poisoned."

Su Qiruo felt a chill in her heart, and a bad feeling came over her.

"Who sent it?"

Su Hong hesitated for a moment, took a peek at Su Qiruo, then lowered her voice and said, "Your Highness the Ninth Prince."

"Don't make any publicity beforehand, go and take him to Qianqing Palace yourself, so as not to disturb the people in the other palaces."

"Yes."

Su Hong took the order to leave, Su Qiruo quickened her pace and ran directly to Qianqing Palace.

There were only two palace guards at the gate of Qianqing Palace, seeing Su Qiruo coming over, she hurriedly greeted her.

The faces of the two were calm, it was obvious that the little emperor did not announce the matter.

Su Qiruo pushed the door open and walked in, the little emperor saw this and quickly stood up.

In the hall, apart from the little emperor, there is only a servant lying on the couch and an imperial doctor who is in charge of the emperor's safety pulse, and there is no one else.

"It's good that the emperor is fine."

Seeing that the little emperor was safe and sound, Su Qiruo's heart finally half dropped.

"how is she?"

"The imperial doctor said that the poisoning is not deep, and it is not life-threatening."

The little emperor secretly held Su Qiruo's hand, the palms of both of them were covered with sweat.

"What about things?"

The little emperor took Su Qiruo to the inner hall, and there was a bowl of small glutinous rice balls on the low table in the inner hall.

A silver needle is inserted into each glutinous rice ball, twelve in total.

Among them, four silver needles turned black, and the rest were in normal color.

"Is this from the Mo Shu Palace?"

When Su Qiruo asked this, her voice trembled slightly.

She never thought that Chu Moyan would poison the little emperor, and even her first reaction was that someone was setting him up.

However, when she remembered that she had ordered the hidden guard to check back and said that Chu Moyan had taken the initiative to send the little emperor some snacks, Su Qiruo felt something was wrong again.

That child has never been close to the emperor, and he has never given anything to him in previous years.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, and it is likely that he did it.

The little emperor nodded, seeing Su Qiruo's worried expression, he hurriedly tried to persuade him: "Sheng'er is fine, the Taifu don't blame brother Jiuhuang, maybe it's not necessarily a mistake."

After all, the little emperor was still reluctant to see the Taifu in trouble, so he closed the gate of Qianqing Palace as soon as the accident happened, and only sent his confidants to invite the Taifu and Taifu over.

If this matter is really done by the Ninth Prince, at least he can save his life.

The little emperor himself couldn't figure out why that brother Jiuhuang who didn't like to talk wanted to kill her.

Could it be that he is jealous that Tai Tuo treats himself better than him?
But she is a girl, and it is impossible for the Taifu to marry her.

Su Qiruo said seriously: "I will definitely give the emperor an explanation."

If it is an ordinary trouble, the emperor says forget it, then forget it, but now he committed the crime of killing the king, and he must pay for his life.

Fortunately, today the poison is on the servant, if the emperor really has troubles, even if Su Qiruo holds a lot of power, he can't save him.

Chu Moyan was sent over by Su Hong, the little emperor glanced at the imperial doctor outside, and the old imperial doctor hurriedly retreated on the pretext of grabbing medicine.

"Teacher..."

Chu Moyan was a little frightened, so he called out to the tutor tremblingly, but he didn't speak again.

"Your Majesty!"

This was the first time Su Qiruo lost her temper with Chu Moyan, no matter what he did in the past, she had never annoyed him.

Chu Moyan's hand hanging by his side tightened, and he knelt down with a thud. The sound made people feel that his knee hurts just by listening to it.

"Why did you poison the emperor?"

Looking at the young man kneeling below, Su Qiruo didn't know him.

She has always known that his character is a bit extreme, but she can't figure out how the emperor offended him and asked him to commit such a serious crime of beheading.

Chu Moyan knelt on the cold bluestone floor, his body straightened, no matter what Su Qiruo asked him, he would not open his mouth.

Seeing that the Taifu was really annoyed, the little emperor hurriedly smoothed things over and said, "Brother Jiuhuang must have put the wrong bowl in it, so he sent the wrong thing. Don't let the Taifu get angry."

How could Su Qiruo be willing to listen to the little emperor's peacemakers, and asked coldly: "Chu Moyan, you don't even listen to me now, do you?"

Chu Moyan still hung his head and refused to answer, his lips were tightly pressed together, his stubbornness made people headache.

Only when Su Qiruo called his full name, his thin body trembled slightly.

"Okay, if you don't tell me, then I won't ask."

Su Qiruo got up and came to Chu Moyan, gave him a serious look, then knelt beside him, pleaded guilty to the little emperor: "Chu Moyan poisoned and murdered the emperor, it was my fault. Fu, he failed to cultivate his body and upright his virtues, it is because I did not teach him well, I am willing to suffer for him, and I hope the emperor will forgive him for his crimes."

After all, without waiting for the little emperor and Chu Moyan to react, Su Qiruo turned her wrist and thrust a dagger straight into her chest.

"No! Taifu, don't..."

Before the little emperor could react, he saw blood gushing out from the Taifu's white clothes, staining her clothes red.

"No! Taifu, don't..."

Chu Moyan rushed towards Su Qiruo like crazy, he reached out to cover her wound, but the blood couldn't be stopped no matter what.

The scene in front of him suddenly overlapped with his dream, Chu Moyan's eyes were red and his whole body was stiff.
