Chapter 391

"Father!"

Shen Ruoxi stepped forward: "Father, Concubine Shu died of poisoning."

"I know!"

The imperial doctor had previously diagnosed that Concubine Shu died of poisoning, but they could not yet tell what kind of poison it was, and they might need to examine the body.

He was furious.

They actually want to damage Concubine Shu's body, but he won't allow it!

Shen Ruoxi said.

"Then does the emperor know what kind of poison Concubine Shu is in?"

"No matter what kind of poison it is, it doesn't matter. What matters is...my concubine Shu was killed by someone!"

"The one among the concubines is Bai Meisi."

Emperor Renjing turned his head: "Baimeisi?"

"Back to my father, this kind of poison is very rare, and there is no discomfort on weekdays. The person who is poisoned does not know it, and the poison will appear in about half a month."

"But if the poisoned person engages in sexual intercourse, he will be poisoned and die immediately, and... the other party will also be poisoned."

Hearing this, a hint of evil flashed in Emperor Renjing's eyes.

"You mean, if I favor her, I will die too?"

Shen Ruoxi lowered her eyes.

"Father, the person who poisoned me probably didn't want Concubine Shu's life. He obviously had a deeper plan."

Murong Heng took the words and went straight to the point.

"Father, I think this poison was administered by Tuoba Ye."

He had wondered before, just because Lian'er looked so similar to the late empress, Tuoba Ye sent her here?

Now I finally understand the reason.

From the beginning, he wanted to kill Emperor Renjing with the help of Lian'er.

Once Emperor Renjing died, Murong Yao would definitely not let him ascend the throne and ask him to compete for the throne.

When the time comes, both of them will suffer losses, and Tuoba Ye will enjoy the advantage of the fisherman.

But for some unknown reason, my father never touched Concubine Shu.

Concubine Xian burst into tears.

"Your Majesty, I am really wronged, wuwu..."

Emperor Renjing's eyes were stunned for a moment, then there was a "bang" and his hand loosened.

The sword fell to the ground.

"So, no matter what happens, my concubine Shu will die?!"

From the beginning, Lian'er was a chess piece destined to be sacrificed.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Emperor Renjing suddenly laughed.

He took a few steps back, with an expression on his face that was both angry and sad.

After a while, he seemed to remember something.

"Where is Tuoba Ye? Where is Tuoba Ye? I'm going to kill him...I'm going to kill him!"

Emperor Renjing looked angry and suddenly walked outside quickly.

After taking a few steps, he accidentally stumbled and was supported by Murong Heng.

"My condolences, Father."

"is it you?"

Emperor Renjing suddenly grabbed his collar, with fire in his eyes: "Is it you? Are you secretly colluding with Tuoba Ye!?"

The atmosphere in the room froze for a moment.

Murong Heng looked at him calmly, with a light look on his naturally handsome face.

"Not my son."

Emperor Renjing loosened his grip on his collar.

"Yes, how could it be you... But I feel sorry for her, and I thought you hated me for this..."

Emperor Renjing muttered to himself, somewhat incoherently.

Murong Heng narrowed his eyes.

"Father, what do you mean by this?"

Wang Defu on the side stepped forward to support Emperor Renjing.

"Your Majesty, please don't be too sad and hurt the dragon's body. The matter of Concubine Shu is a foregone conclusion. You must cheer up..."

"Yes, Concubine Shu, my concubine Shu!"

Emperor Renjing seemed to have come to his senses, turned around suddenly, walked to Concubine Shu's bed in despair, and held her hand tightly.

His eyes turned red and he spoke in a deep voice.

"You all go down, I want to be alone with Concubine Shu for a while."

Everyone retreated.

When they got outside, Concubine Xian glanced at Shen Ruoxi, as if she wanted to say something.

If Shen Ruoxi hadn't opened her mouth to clear her grievances today, she might really have died by Emperor Renjing's sword.

She felt extremely cold.

Twenty years of love is no match for a new replacement.

She finally saw clearly that the emperor was ruthless. Over the years, she was the only one who had been stupidly thinking that she was favored, not just because of her face.

"Princess."

Shen Ruoxi turned around: "What's the matter with Concubine Xian?"

"Thank you for what happened today."

Ning Yingying looked a little embarrassed, but she sincerely thanked her.

"Your Majesty, you're welcome."

Shen Ruoxi's tone also softened a bit.

Concubine Xian thought for a while, approached her, said a few words to her, then turned around and left.

Murong Heng asked after she walked a few meters away.

"What did she tell you?"

"She said, let me be careful about Concubine De."

Ning Yingying didn't need to remind her about this, she also knew it.

When Concubine Xian had a miscarriage last time, Shen Ruoxi already knew that Concubine De was not as magnanimous as she seemed.

Ning Yingying reminded her like this, and it seemed that she had completely put aside her resentment with her and looked away.

Looking at Concubine Xian's lonely back, Shen Ruoxi sighed.

After all, he is a poor man.

Wang Defu stood aside, a little worried: "Your Highness, the emperor is too sad now. I am really worried about his health. How about letting the imperial doctor..."

"My lord, do you know what my father said just now?"

"Your Highness, how can this old slave know what the Emperor means?"

"I didn't say which sentence it was, so why are you so eager to deny it?"

Murong Heng's sharp eyes fell on his face: "It seems that Eunuch Wang does know."

There was a trace of panic on Wang Defu's face, but he quickly calmed down.

He sighed.

"Your Highness, the old slave has been serving the emperor since he was a child. It can be said that he is one of the people who knows him best in the world. The emperor just said those words. The old slave felt a little abnormal, but what did he mean specifically? The old slave is true I don’t know.”

He looked sincere and troubled.

Murong Heng glanced at him.

"Father, don't be afraid. I'm just asking casually."

"Then... Your Highness, if there is nothing else, will this old slave go in and serve the Emperor?"

"Ah."

Wang Defu turned around and walked towards the house.

Shen Ruoxi looked at his back and whispered.

"Do you think he really doesn't know?"

"Whether he knows it or not, he won't tell."

Everyone who knew the truth back then was punished.

Wang Defu was safe and sound, either because he really didn't know the specific truth, or even if he knew, he would never speak, so Emperor Renjing kept him by his side.

"Let's go back."

At this time, it was time for the people who were chasing Tuoba Ye to send news.

As soon as he helped Shen Ruoxi out of the yard, he heard a panicked sound coming from behind.

"It's not good, Your Highness, something serious has happened!"

Wang Defu chased after him in panic.

"Your Highness, the Emperor fainted!"

The expressions of the two changed slightly, and then they turned back.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Emperor Renjing slumped beside the bed, his eyes closed, and he was already unconscious.

Murong Heng turned to look at Wang Defu.

"Does anyone besides you know about my father's coma?"

"There are a few guards outside."

"Order them not to spread this matter. If even a word is leaked, I will kill them alone!"

"Yes, I understand!"

Wang Defu nodded repeatedly.

He knew that if news about Emperor Renjing's coma spread at this moment, it would probably arouse the suspicion of the courtiers and cause turmoil in the court.

It's better to block the message first.
