When the prince is reborn, he will only hit me if he doesn't hit the wall!

Chapter 251: Concubine Su is likely to have taken the bait

When Xu Xinyue returned to the palace, the inky black sky was covered with snowflakes that had turned into goose-like flakes and were falling in large flakes. It was clearly night time, but the thick, bright snow on the ground made the palace look as bright as day.

Walking along the corridor, after only a few steps, I saw Qin Yuechuan coming towards me.

Xu Xinyue smiled and trotted over to greet him: "Sorry, Qin Yuechuan, I'm late. I guess you must be anxious waiting for me?"

"No problem, it's never too late to wait for Yueyue. Dinner is ready, let's go eat first."

"Ah."

During the question and answer, Xu Xinyue had a strange feeling, as if she was the husband who was busy with all kinds of affairs outside, and Qin Yuechuan was the virtuous wife who prepared meals for her when she came home.

This feeling was so wonderful that Xu Xinyue raised her head and glanced at Qin Yuechuan who was looking straight ahead, and the corners of her mouth secretly curled up even more.

Someone who was following behind Qin Yuechuan and was completely ignored raised his hand and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"that……"

Xu Xinyue noticed that there was someone else, so she turned around and saw that it was Qin Chuanji: "His Royal Highness Prince Yan is here too."

Qin Chuanji unconsciously glanced at Qin Yuechuan's face and said, "Oh, no need for that. I will have to call you the emperor's sister-in-law in the future. Just call me the third brother."

Xu Xinyue did not shirk the responsibility: "Third brother, are you here to look for Qin Yuechuan?"

"No, I came to look for you."

"Looking for me?" Xu Xinyue was puzzled and was about to ask again, but Qin Yuechuan said, "It's not urgent. Yueyue, let's eat first. No matter what, eat first."

During the meal, Qin Chuanji wanted to speak several times but was glared back at by Qin Yuechuan: "You have already waited for a whole day, so what does one more hour mean?" Qin Chuanji had no choice but to shut up.

But before Xu Xinyue finished her dinner, she received a summons from the palace: "Please allow the princess to go to the palace for a chat."

Qin Xingyue hid behind the screen and listened quietly.

Xu Xinyue and Qin Yuechuan looked at each other and understood something in their hearts. It was probably about the matter of "Huiyuan Soup". There was a result, and Concubine Su was very likely to have taken the bait.

The eunuch who delivered the oral order said anxiously: "Princess Rong, please come to the palace immediately. The Queen and His Majesty are waiting."

Qin Yuechuan said unhappily, "Why are you in such a hurry? The princess is weak and frail. If she doesn't eat enough, how can she treat His Majesty? Go back and report. After dinner, I will take the princess with me."

The eunuch dared not say anything more, nor did he dare to report back, and could only wait at the gate of the mansion.

Half an hour later, the three of them got on the carriage heading to the palace.

Qin Yuechuan said: "Get off, we can't ride together in public because of our relationship!"

Qin Chuanji said: "Even if our relationship is not harmonious, we are still brothers after all, so it's okay to ride together occasionally."

"Besides, it was dark, no one would notice. This was only the first time."

Qin Yuechuan was speechless and turned away without looking at him.

The palace city tower with red walls and white snow is as beautiful as an exquisite and sophisticated painting.

The three of them walked through the winding palace corridor and finally arrived at the emperor's bedroom.

The lights in the hall were bright, and the servants and eunuchs knelt on the ground, shivering and kowtowed. The leader was the Empress Su, who was dressed in seductive and cool clothes.

Although it was winter, Concubine Su was wearing a thin satin nightgown that showed off her exquisite figure to perfection. The tight, thin and soft material bound her chest, revealing her breasts. Her hair was half loose, and she knelt at the feet of the emperor, who had a frosty face.

On the small table beside the couch was a bowl of cold soup, which must have been "Huiyuan Soup".

The emperor looked up and was a little surprised to see Qin Yuechuan had also come, but after a moment, he instantly realized that it was reasonable.

After all, she was his concubine, and it was inconvenient for her to be dressed like this in front of others, so he shouted angrily: "Why don't you change into some decent clothes!"

Su Fei had never lost so much face in front of others before. She bit her lip, held back her tears and walked out.

The emperor glanced at Qin Yuechuan and pointed at the soup bowl beside the couch. "As you said, I designed to relax Concubine Su's vigilance. Recently, I have summoned her every day to favor her. Sure enough, she brought this soup again today. Since you said that there is something wrong with the soup, you asked your princess to come and check it. You must make an antidote for me."

Xu Xinyue stepped forward, took out the soup base and seasonings, sniffed and checked them one by one, and then, as before, wrote down the required ingredients one by one on a piece of paper. Xu Xinyue stared at the names of the various medicinal herbs and ingredients on the paper and pondered for a moment. Suddenly, he looked up and asked, "Besides this soup, does your majesty have anything else you drink regularly?"

The emperor frowned and asked, "Can't we find out whether there is poison in this soup?"

Xu Xinyue shook her head: "Not really, this soup is poisonous, but also non-toxic."

The emperor thought she couldn't detect it and wanted to confuse the public. He was a little angry and said, "Princess Rong, do you know how to punish the crime of deceiving the emperor? If it is poisonous, it is poisonous. If it is not poisonous, it is not poisonous. What does it mean if it is poisonous and not poisonous? "

Xu Xianyue explained: "It is non-toxic because the ingredients used in this soup are indeed safe and do not contain any toxins. It is poisonous because some of the ingredients are indeed somewhat different. If they complement and counteract each other with other specific ingredients, it will be a slow poison that is imperceptible and will become more serious over time. If this continues for a long time, the consequences will be disastrous."

"How many? Ingredients?"

"Yes, the person who developed this soup must have a deep understanding of your Majesty's habits, or even know them like the back of his hand. He must have known clearly what your Majesty takes and uses every day, and informed Concubine Su of the situation and cooperated with each other to complete this plan."

The emperor's eyes were deep and distant, and he murmured to himself: "He knows my habits very well, and is clear about what I wear and use..." Xu Xinyue's hint was very clear and even almost pointed out the person's name, and the answer was obvious.

The emperor turned sideways, his gloomy eyes turned to Fulu who was standing not far away: "You have always been the one who takes care of my daily life. If there is anyone who knows me very well, I can't think of anyone else except you who has been serving me all year round."

Fulu tried hard not to lose his composure in front of the emperor, but his pale face and trembling lips showed his inner panic.

The emperor never took his eyes off him, but his words were clearly directed at Xu Xinyue: "The tea I usually drink is only Gaoshan Yunwu, usually paired with Yungui cake. This is my unchanging preference, and only Fulu and I know it."

Needless to say, a moment later someone brought up the two refreshments the emperor had requested.

Xu Xianyue took a quick look and nodded, "Indeed, these two are correct. They look like the most common ingredients, but the toxins they contain are enough to make your majesty's dragon body gradually weaken and become unable to do anything. In the end, when the poison takes effect, the symptoms will be just like death from exhaustion."

The words were so terrifying that everyone present dared not even breathe. Su Fei, who had already changed her clothes and hid in a corner, could not help but tremble after hearing them.

She watched as Fulu collapsed to his knees, begging for mercy and howling, "Your Majesty, I, you old slave, I don't know. It was Concubine Su who said she wanted to understand Your Majesty's preferences and cater to your tastes. I, you old slave, I just did everything for Your Majesty's sake, wanting Your Majesty to be content with Concubine Su. That's why, that's why..."

"Fulu!" the emperor shouted angrily, "Who do you belong to?"

Fulu and Su Fei, who was hiding in the dark, both shuddered.
