Concubine Xiang hurriedly shouted that she was wronged, "When did I harm you? Why do you insist on talking nonsense? Your Majesty, you have to bear witness to me! I have never been to Chuxiu Palace before!"

"Yes, Xiang concubine came here specially to give something to the two children. She didn't want to come in when she got to the door. I was afraid that you would be unhappy, so I dragged her in. You two had conflicts in the past. Seeing Xiang concubine You already know that you are wrong, so why don't you show mercy when you take the initiative to give things to your children?" Emperor Yuande scolded.

"Hmph! Okay, then let me ask Xiangbi, you said with absolute certainty that I was sick because of eating the wrong thing as soon as you came in. How did you know that?" Shen Ruochen asked Xiangbi, Concubine Xiang was immediately stopped.

"This...this..." Xiangbi stuttered for a moment.

"Don't tell me it was from the imperial doctor. The day the imperial doctor came, I didn't see him at all. He didn't even feel his pulse, so he wouldn't know!" Shen Ruochen stared at Xiangbi, "In front of the emperor, you Tell me?"

Xiang concubine naturally can't tell.

Shen Ruochen said sarcastically, "Weren't you still talking with enthusiasm just now? Why don't you speak now? Isn't that called aggrieved?"

Faced with Emperor Yuan De's questioning look, Xiang Concubine hurriedly explained, "I don't remember who I heard this from, maybe I don't know what other people said."

"You are wrong again. No one in my palace knows about this except my personal servants. Besides, no one has been out these days! Even the food is cooked in this palace. For It's just to lure out the people who poisoned people behind their backs!" Shen Ruochen said sternly, "Your argument is untenable!"

"Poison?" Emperor Yuande frowned. "Are you poisoned?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, it's not actually poisoning, but it's almost the same. Using the principle of food, people will first have a fever, then difficulty in breathing, and finally they will die of suffocation. No one can find out! What a poisonous scheme. !”

Shen Ruochen said, "Fortunately, I usually like to read some miscellaneous books, and I also read some medical books. I discovered it early, so I hid it early and unlocked the effect of this medicine. But I just thought, who knows who could be harming me?" I didn’t expect that this person would be you, Empress Xiangbi. It’s so unexpected! Empress Xiangbi, tell me, why do you want to harm me?”

Xiangbi was dumbfounded, knowing that no matter how she tried to explain, it would be useless, so one leg fell limply to the ground.

Emperor Yuande looked at Xiangbi in disbelief, "Is it really you?"

Xiangbi bit her lip and said nothing.

"Say! Is it you!" Emperor Yuan De was furious and pointed at Xiang Concubine and asked, feeling as if he had been deceived. "I want you to say it!"

Xiang Concubine gritted her teeth, "It was indeed me! I found out that Shen Changzai likes to eat mutton recently, so I found a food that goes well with mutton. Concubine Xiang asked the imperial dining room to send some in different ways every day. ,But……"

Xiangbi grinded her teeth, "But I didn't expect that you bitch was so cunning that you didn't eat it! You're okay!"

"It's really you!" Emperor Yuande was very angry, "Why did you do this? What grudges do you have with Shen Changzai that warrant such preparation?"

"No grudge," Xiangbi shook her head gently.

"Then why did you do this?" Emperor Yuande looked at Xiangbi in disbelief, "Then you lied to me just now. The clothes you gave the children were a cover. You came to see if Shen Changzai was dead. ,right?"

"Concubines are also helpless! Concubines are forced!" Concubine Xiang knelt down and kowtowed to Emperor Yuande, "Your Majesty, you let one Chang Zai raise the emperor's heirs, and if you raise two, half of the palace All our children are raised here, do you think this is in line with the rules?"

"Is this why you want to kill her?" Emperor Yuande was furious, "I thought you had changed just now, but it turned out that everything was just an act! It's so funny, I was actually deceived by you! You are so brave! "

Concubine Xiang grabbed the corner of the emperor's clothes and said, "Your Majesty, it's not the concubine who deceived you! It was her, it was Shen Changzai. You were deceived by her, you were deceived by her! If you do this, don't tell anyone. , will be ridiculed by the people of the world, even the Queen Mother does not agree! What kind of medicine did she give you, and you actually believe her so much!"

"You bitch! How dare you move out of the Queen Mother? The Queen Mother has never disagreed!" Emperor Yuande grabbed Xiangbi's face and said harshly, "Don't you want to know why I let her raise the child? Then Well, I tell you, it’s because she is real! She always treats me with my true face, even if she doesn’t like to see me, she shows it openly, unlike you!”

"emperor……"

Xiangbi wanted to say something more, but Emperor Yuande didn't want to see her anymore, "Come here! Take her away and live in a place where I can never see her! I never want to see this disgusting face again." Got it!"

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Concubine Xiang kowtowed desperately and begged, "Your Majesty, this concubine is really for you! It's for the centuries-old rules in the palace! You can't relegate the concubine to the cold palace! The concubine is really for you. I wholeheartedly do it for you!"

"It's not your turn even if you talk about the rules!" Emperor Yuande pointed at Xiang's concubine and scolded, "If you dare to make trouble again, be careful of your mother clan! I have already seen that you have served me for many years and will not implicate others. If If you still want to make trouble, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

Concubine Xiang lost her voice for a moment in fear, and when she was about to be pulled away, Shen Ruochen stood up and said, "Wait a minute, Your Majesty, can you let me say a word?"

Emperor Yuande looked at Shen Ruochen and said, "You want to plead for her? It's not your temper to stage a drama about sisterly love."

"Your Majesty is right, I am not a poser, and I don't like acting."

"Then what are you going to say?" Emperor Yuande looked at Shen Ruochen with interest.

Shen Ruochen bowed respectfully to Emperor Yuan De, "I want to say, I'm afraid Xiang Concubine didn't come up with this thing by herself, right? It's not that I look down on Xiang Concubine, but with Xiang Concubine's temperament, I'm afraid she wouldn't do this. All right?"

Emperor Yuande looked at Xiangbi and said, "Say! Who ordered you?"

Xiangbi shook her head vigorously and said nothing.

"If you don't tell me, are you going to admit the whole thing?" Shen Ruochen looked at Xiang Concubine and said word for word, "If you admit everything about this, then you are plotting to kill the concubine. My third brother You have also started to take complementary foods. You are considered to be murdering the emperor's heir, so I'm afraid the crime is not as simple as being thrown into the cold palace, right?"

"You...what do you want to do?" Xiangbin asked in horror.

"What do you want to do?" Shen Ruochen said very calmly, "Whether you want to save your life and fall into the cold palace, or bring down dozens of people in your family, it depends on you. I'm sure you will also figure it out. Which is more serious? , just in your own thoughts."
