The demon queen seduces the cold emperor

Chapter 328 What happened back then! (two)
When Wang An said this, his body trembled slightly because of the fear in his heart, he met the three anxious eyes, licked his dry lips, paused for a while, and then forced himself to continue: "Who knows that after a while In the future, the servant heard that the empress was occasionally unwell and had to rest in bed, and the news of the empress's body was spread to the sixth palace, and the empresses of all the palaces rushed to visit the empress in Yongle Palace. At that time, the slave was pinched Sweat, the empress is trying to lure the snake out of the hole and put herself in danger! Sure enough, on the second day, the night before the empress was sealed, the slaves heard bad news, saying that the emperor was going to spend the night in Yongle Palace, and the empress unexpectedly Sudden nervous breakdown, raised a knife to stab the emperor..."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty will not go crazy for no reason. She must have been tampered with. Your Majesty loves the Emperor so much. You can tell from the fact that your Majesty hid the poison in a risky way. Your Majesty forbids anyone to hurt the Emperor, so your Majesty is wronged. I beg your Majesty." Make up your mind for your mother!" Pearl cried, her forehead pressed against the cold floor, extremely sad.

Chu Muyuan stared at one place with a dull expression, his pupils were out of focus, and murmured, "Yazi...Yazi..."

Chu Yunhe raised his sleeves and wiped his clouded eyes, took a deep breath, and asked, "Are you sure, from the time your mother discovered the villain to before she went crazy, she only saw the concubines of the sixth palace, and never had any contact with anyone outside Yongle Palace?" ?"

"Back to the Eighth Prince, the three servants were seconded out at that time, the details are not clear, and Zhao Hu, Qiuping, and Xiao Anzi who went with the empress that night also served by the empress's side. Not long after that, they died suddenly one after another. The servants turned pale with fright when they heard this. They wanted to take a chance to see the emperor, report everything that happened that night to the emperor, and do their best for the empress, but in the end..." Xiao Xizi's eyes dripped Weeping tears, calmed down a bit, and then continued in a mournful voice: "They are killing people to silence them! The servants don't know which palace the woman named Xue'er is from, and whether she is favored by the emperor. A bottle of poison, how can the emperor believe it? If someone bites back again, saying that the empress hides the poison and intends to murder the emperor, the empress will lose her life! The death of the slaves is not a pity, but the empress still has the eldest princess and the eighth prince Little master, how dare the servants harm the little master!"

"Yes, after the three servants discussed quietly, they decided to endure it, believing that the murderer would always show his fox's tail. In order to save their lives, they slowly looked for opportunities, and the slaves pretended to be crazy, especially in front of the master they were serving. As stupid as amnesia, the slaves were dismissed by the master and sent to the Ye Ting Palace. Unexpectedly, before the slaves could find any evidence of the murderer, the cold palace caught fire... The hateful murderer even killed the mad lady. Don't let it go!"

Wang An went on to say this, his dark face was full of emotion, and he had endured the pain that he could not express for 16 years. The murderer must have set the fire on purpose, trying to burn the empress to death! The servant saw the thick smoke over the Leng Palace in the Ye Ting Palace, and knew that something had happened to the empress, so he hurried to the Leng Palace to rescue the empress. After going in, she disappeared, and amidst mixed grief and joy, the slave hurriedly looked around again, because the murderer’s target was on the empress, so he must know that the empress had escaped. When he was looking for the lotus pond near the cold palace, he suddenly heard a cry from his mother. Just as he was about to look for it, he saw a black shadow flashing past the lush lotus leaves. The slave was shocked and immediately chased after it. Masked, after a few tricks with the servant, he raised a handful of white ash to block the servant's sight and fled. When the white smoke cleared and the servant looked again, he was gone, but the servant felt something was wrong. The man's figure is much smaller than that man's, and his martial arts are also much worse than that man's. Moreover, when fighting, the servant smelled a strange fragrance from that man, and this fragrance is very special, unlike the empress. The spices we usually use, but we can be sure that this is the woman named Xue'er! Then, when the servant returned to the lotus pond, he saw many court ladies and eunuchs surrounded by reeds. Didn't escape..."

Hearing this, the room was silent for a long time, and everyone's face was full of grief and anger. Chu Yunhe pursed his lips tightly, his gloomy eyes were like eagles, cold and heartless, and after a long time, he came from A word was squeezed out between the teeth, "Wang An, do you remember what kind of spice that fragrance came from?"

"Back to the Eighth Prince, the servant is a rough man who doesn't understand spices. At that time, he only smelled a very refreshing and delicate fragrance, which he had never smelled on the empress. After the empress passed away, the eighth prince was charged with murdering his mother again, and was punished by the emperor. , The servant was extremely sad and angry, hating himself for being unable to return to heaven, after kneeling beside Linxian Lake and burning paper money for his mother on the third night, he sneaked into the Cuiming Palace and wanted to visit the Eighth Prince and tell the Eighth Prince all these things. The prince will be more careful in the future, looking for an opportunity to avenge the empress, and then when the servant commits suicide and leaves with the empress, he unexpectedly sees..." Wang An sneaked a nervous look at Chu Muyuan when he said this, hesitant to speak, and held on tightly He bit his lower lip.

"Cuiming Palace? It was Concubine Xuan's bedroom back then!" Chu Yunhe was startled, and stood up excitedly, "At that time, this king was entrusted to Concubine Xuan by his father to be raised by Concubine Xuan. What did you see, Wang An?"

Chu Muyuan's eyes froze, and he said, "Go ahead!"

"...Yes, Your Majesty!" Wang An seemed to have made a lot of determination, raised his eyes and rolled his throat, and said resolutely: "This servant saw a black shadow passing through the back garden, and this servant immediately followed him. The black shadow jumped in from the back window of Concubine Xuan's dormitory, and Concubine Xuan immediately came to close the window. At that time, the servant was hiding in the bushes under the window sill. The scent is the scent of the masked woman I met in the lotus pond! The servant was shocked, and immediately guessed that the black figure who had just entered was that man. All of a sudden, reason came back to the cage, and now they went in, there were two of them, and the slave was only one, and the man's martial arts were extraordinary, not only could he not catch them, but he would also be accused of murdering the concubine, so the slave stayed outside and waited. Knowing that the man hadn't come out since he went in, the servant was afraid of being discovered by the dawn, so he had to leave the Cuiming Palace first. Because he found out that Concubine Xuan was Xue'er, the murderer who killed the empress, when the servant was pleasantly surprised, he was afraid The prince would be murdered by Concubine Xuan, so he gave up the idea of ​​committing suicide, hid quietly in the dark, monitored Concubine Xuan's every move and collected evidence, and used his meager strength to protect the Eighth Prince, hoping that one day, he would have the opportunity to expose Concubine Xuan, but Half a year later, Concubine Xuan suddenly fell ill, and it got worse day by day until she passed away. What about sickness and death? The servant was suspicious and wanted to enter Cuiming Palace, but the night Concubine Xuan died, there were so many guards in Cuiming Palace that the servant couldn't get in, so he had to hide in the largest camphor tree outside Cuiming Palace. Paying close attention to the actions in the palace, soon, there was a cry from the inner guards to arrest the assassin from the direction of Chaoyang Palace, the servant was shocked, thinking of the poison in the box, he could be sure that the assassin was the man who was with Concubine Xuan, so , and kept an even closer eye on the Cuiming Palace, and sure enough, he soon saw a black figure fleeing into the Cuiming Palace while being pursued by the guards of the Imperial Forest Army. Instead, he entangled him as an assassin. After fighting for a while, the Eighth Prince came to recognize the slave and told the imperial army, and he was freed. However, he had missed the best time. Not only the assassin disappeared, but also Concubine Xuan's The tenth princess is also missing! Since then, the servant has been unable to investigate this case. Concubine Xuan has been buried, and the palace has become peaceful. The servant has no choice but to continue guarding the Eighth Prince to grow up, but the Eighth Prince does not value the Emperor, even if the slave Tell the Eighth Prince everything, the Eighth Prince is weak and weak, and his words are light, and I am afraid that he will not be able to clear the truth for his empress. Without being very sure, the slave waited and waited until today, and finally... Finally, he can tell the whole story Already!"

Chu Yunhe took a step forward, bent down and stretched out his hand to support Wang An's arm, his vision was blurred by the water mist in his black eyes, as if stuck in his throat, "Wang An, you were actually... get up that night, you all get up Come on, stop kneeling!"

"Thank you...thank you, the Eighth Prince!" The three kowtowed and stood up.

Chu Muyuan also got down from the couch, stared at Wang An, gritted his teeth and asked, "Are you sure you are Concubine Xuan? That man shares a room with Concubine Xuan?"

"Back to the emperor, I have seen it with my own eyes. Since I dared to say it today, the purpose was only to avenge the concubine Li Gui. I have endured humiliation for 16 years. This servant has already put life and death aside. If there is even a half-truth, the emperor will kill it! It's just... just Xuan The concubine died early, which made it easier for her, but there is still the assassin, maybe he is still alive, I hope the emperor and the eighth prince can find out this person as soon as possible, so as to comfort the spirit of the empress!" Wang An bowed deeply and cupped his hands, and said firmly.

Chu Yunhe looked sideways, took a deep breath, and said, "Father, what is Concubine Xuan's boudoir name? Is it Xue'er? I want to check the palace file."

"I don't remember the name of Concubine Xuan's boudoir!" Chu Muyuan shook his head, looked at Lu Kaiming, "Go to Qintian Supervisor to check the file of Concubine Xuan!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lu Kaiming cupped his hands.

"Wait!" Chu Yunhe suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said: "Lu Kaiming, let's check together, who are the palace servants who served by the concubine's side back then, and who are still alive, especially the ones who served close by, if you can find them, Bring them together!"

"Yes, I'll do it now, servant!" Lu Kaiming was stunned for a moment, then he understood, nodded, and quickly left.
