Chapter 625

Wu Guiren frowned, seeming to be in pain: "I'm so uncomfortable, am I going to die?"

Concubine Shu said from the side: "You are just poisoned, with the Ninth Princess here, she will definitely save you."

"Poisoned?" Wu Guiren was startled and horrified, and Empress Xiao's stern look flashed through his mind, his pale face turned paler, and his whole body trembled, "It's the queen, it must be the queen, yes The queen wants to kill me, it's the queen, it's her, it's her."

Concubine Shu suppressed the joy in her heart, and scolded in a low voice: "It's fine, why did the queen want to kill you, slandering the queen is a capital offense!"

"I didn't slander the queen," Wu Guiren said emotionally, with a terrified expression, "it's the queen who wants to kill me! She wants to kill me, she wants to kill me! I don't want to die, save me, save me!"

Concubine Shu pretended to be shocked and looked at Emperor Chu: "Your Majesty,"

Emperor Chu's voice was cold: "Why did the queen kill you?"

"Because Princess Zhenguo,"

Rong Jiu was stunned: "Why are you involved with me again?"

Wu Guiren suddenly grabbed her hand tightly and begged: "Princess, I was wrong, please forgive me once, it is the queen, and the queen ordered me. She told me that you sent someone to go to Peach Blossom Village for luck." Fruit wine, you want me to destroy your fruit wine, so that you can't open a wine shop, princess, you are wrong, it's all the queen's fault, please let me go, let the Wu family go, I beg you."

Rong Jiu was in pain from being caught by her, so she quickly pulled it out, and said to Emperor Chu: "When we were approaching Chang'an, someone set up an ambush, destroyed several carts of fruit wine for me, and caught an assassin. I have already sent someone to Jingzhao Mansion Well, it turned out to be the work of the Wu family."

Concubine Shu said: "Even if the queen ordered you to destroy the princess's fruit wine, she can't kill you to silence her?"

"Because the prince is under confinement, the empress is afraid that your majesty will be furious again and will abolish the empress. The empress just warned me that the Wu family should keep their mouths shut and that the Wu family should bear all the responsibilities. Otherwise, when the empress dowager returns to the palace, she will You want to crush me like an ant, the queen is so vicious, how could she let me live, as long as I die, no one will know."

At this time, a servant came in a hurry and said to Emperor Chu: "Your Majesty, the governor of Jingzhao Mansion is asking to see you."

"Xuan." Emperor Chu's voice was low, with hidden anger.

Concubine Shu held the brocade handkerchief, covered the smile on her mouth, and waited to watch the show.

Jing Zhaoyin came quickly, and was about to bow his hands to salute, but Emperor Chu cut him off: "But for the case of fruit wine?"

Jing Zhaoyin was stunned for a moment, seeing that Rong Jiu was there, he thought it was Rong Jiu entering the palace to ask the Emperor Chu to make decisions, and his heart became more and more afraid to be careless.

"Returning to Your Majesty, it is indeed about the case of fruit wine. This morning, the princess's people brought someone to Jingzhao Mansion, saying that someone bought a murderer and destroyed several carts of fruit wine for the princess. After being interrogated by the ministers, it was the Wu family who did it. I have also made a confession, saying that nobleman Wu instructed me to involve the harem, and I dare not make any claims."

Things have become clear.

Empress Xiao instigated Wu Guiren to take action against Rong Jiu. After the incident failed, she thought about killing people to silence her in an attempt to cover up the crime.

Emperor Chu's face turned even colder: "Go to Fengyi Palace!"

A group of imperial guards broke into Fengyi Palace suddenly. Empress Xiao turned pale with fright, and shouted coldly: "Presumptuous! Who dared to trespass into Fengyi Palace on your own."

"It's the courage I gave them!"

Emperor Chu stepped in with a deep expression, followed by Rong Jiu and Concubine Shu.

A look of hatred and poison flashed across Empress Xiao's face, she was startled and angry: "I don't know what crime my concubine has committed to alarm His Majesty and order the guards to besiege Fengyi Palace?"
