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

Fulu was terrified. He really had no way to defend himself! He had only seen how much the emperor favored Concubine Su and how she often stayed by the emperor's side. He also saw how much the emperor valued Prince Qi. Although he had not yet appointed a crown prince, Fulu thought that he probably wanted to train Prince Qi.

So when Concubine Su asked him about the Emperor's preferences, although he hesitated for a moment, after thinking it over, he felt that this was a sure win, as it would not only make the Emperor more satisfied with Concubine Su, but it would also be a favor to the future crown prince. No matter how he thought about it, it was a hundred benefits with no harm.

However, he really didn't know that even though Concubine Su was already a favored concubine, she would still have such thoughts!

This, this, really made him feel miserable! !

Fulu could only make a feeble defense: "Old slave, I really just want Your Majesty to feel more comfortable with Concubine Su. I really have no other thoughts. This matter really has nothing to do with me!"

Fulu banged his head against the ground, making loud banging sounds. He could not bear the responsibility for such a crime. How was this different from "regicide"?

The emperor remained silent. Fulu continued to knock his head against the ground, not caring about the blood oozing from his forehead.

Su Fei held onto the wall and slowly slid to her knees. All her strength seemed to be drained away in an instant.

When the emperor cast a murderous gaze at her, she felt as if her throat was also tightly strangled by a hand, forcing her to stop breathing and unable to make a sound. Suddenly coming to her senses, Concubine Su crawled to her knees at the emperor's feet and said, "Your Majesty, I, your concubine, did not mean to do it. It is just as Eunuch Fulu said. I asked him about your Majesty's preferences, but, but I just want to serve your Majesty better. I don't understand pharmacology, how could I set up such a plan."

"You don't need to understand pharmacology, as long as someone around you knows it." A sharp and angry rebuke came from the side, and everyone looked sideways. It was the Queen and Qin Xingyue.

"No, Your Majesty, I have no such intention. Someone is framing me. This is just a coincidence! I am already the most favored concubine of Your Majesty. Why would they use this method to murder Your Majesty?"

The Queen's questioning and the Emperor's indifference, the first thing to do was to dispel the Emperor's concerns. Concubine Su did not bother to confront the Queen, she just looked at the Emperor and said: "There are thousands of people who know medicine in the world, it is not surprising that there are some around me, I also need to protect myself!"

The emperor said, "So, is there really such a person beside you?"

Concubine Su was panicked and spoke incoherently: "Yes... No, that's not what I meant." Qin Xingyue glanced at Concubine Su who was kneeling beside the emperor's legs and said lightly:

"Since it has nothing to do with Concubine Su, then it must be related to the person who sent these ingredients."

Su Fei was immediately speechless. After Qin Yuechuan's reminder, she seemed to have foreseen a more terrible consequence.

It was somewhat beyond Qin Yuechuan's expectation that these words came from the eldest brother who never showed up in public.

Perhaps because of his frail health, in Qin Yuechuan's impression, Qin Xingyue has always been silent and hidden behind others. He does not fight or compete, and is indifferent. It seems that nothing can arouse his interest.

As a result, when he recalled his past life, the fragments belonging to this elder brother were very few and there was no way to trace them.

He could have stayed out of this matter, but now he brought it up.

Su Fei thought of the ingredients and her recent instructions to Ruodong. She calmed down a little and suddenly realized that everything that happened tonight was not accidental!

Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. The emperor's displeasure can be seen at any time and at any time. As a concubine, she has become accustomed to bearing the nameless anger of the almighty emperor. Today, she just treated it as usual.

It turned out that the emperor was not angry at her for no reason. Instead, he had planned it long ago. Everything that happened today was probably a trap set up long ago, waiting for her to fall into it.

Qin Xingyue's words, whether intentional or unintentional, reminded the emperor. He clamped Su Fei's chin, staring at her with hawk-like eyes as if staring at prey: "Who sent you the food? Prince Qi? Prince Yu? Or your Su family? Or your grandfather?"

Concubine Su was extremely frightened. None of the things the emperor said could be related to this matter. She thought about it over and over again, but could not find anyone who could take the blame and calm the emperor's anger.

Concubine Su closed her eyes in despair, her body softened, and she gave up struggling to explain herself. She said in desolate and desperate voice: "...No one is...I plead guilty. This matter was done solely by me."

"Don't think that I won't conduct a thorough investigation just because one person took all the blame. I will investigate the sources of these ingredients and herbs clearly and won't let any of them go!"

Since she had already confessed her guilt, Concubine Su did not care about adding another one: "Your Majesty, this matter was indeed done by me alone. It has nothing to do with others, and it has nothing to do with my mother's family or my maternal grandfather's family. It was just my own selfish desire."

"Private desire? Your private desire is to kill the king?"

"No, Your Majesty has not yet appointed a crown prince. I just thought that Your Majesty felt that you were in the prime of your life and were not in a hurry. I wanted to use this method to encourage Your Majesty to make a decision sooner.

This method will only weaken your majesty's body and make him feel that this matter can no longer be delayed. I will let my child behave well, and maybe we can win it with certainty, win it..."

In order to protect Prince Qi and her relatives, Concubine Su no longer cares about so many things. She is charged with all the crimes, including plotting to murder the monarch, meddling in government affairs, and interfering with the selection of the crown prince. She knows that her life span may be over.

Finally, Concubine Su knocked her head heavily on the ground and said: "I am responsible for all the mistakes. I was the only one who had evil thoughts. I was greedy and wanted to swallow an elephant. Now that things have come to this, I am willing to take full responsibility. I only ask Your Majesty not to implicate my family.

Since I entered the palace, I have rarely interacted with my former relatives. Your Majesty also knows that my father, the Su family, has not been promoted for many years. If my family had evil intentions, they would have used me to find an official position for them long ago. Why did they wait for so many years until today? "

This was half true and half false. When Concubine Su and Qin Zhaolie were planning this, only the two of them knew about it. If it succeeded, everyone would be happy. If it failed, they could use this excuse to win the last bit of sympathy and trust from His Majesty.

Concubine Su knelt for a long time, so long that she didn't know when, she was already in tears and almost in despair, thinking that even the entire Su family would be in danger.

Finally, the emperor's bone-chilling voice came from above: "Are you saying that Prince Qi, Prince Yu, and the Su family all don't know?"

The emperor was privately satisfied with this answer. It was better to blame Concubine Su than his own son, and for the sake of the royal family's reputation, it would sound better to say it this way.

After all, if a son is not well-educated, it is the fault of the father. If his son has problems, he, as a father, cannot escape the blame.

The emperor would never admit to the world that he was wrong.

Even if he knew that Qin Zhaolie or Qin Jizhao was very likely to have evil intentions, since he already knew it, he would not let them succeed.

Now that Concubine Su was willing to take full responsibility, to some extent, it was in line with his wishes: "Concubine Su, for plotting to murder the Lord, I will grant you the white silk."

Su Fei looked up. She had already foreseen her own death, and she was worried about what would happen next.

"The Su family - the adopted daughter is not a good person, but since she said she didn't know anything about it, I will also consider that the Su family has been relatively well behaved in recent years. The female members of the family will not be sent to the palace as maids, and the male members will all be exiled to the south! They are not allowed to return to the capital!"

Concubine Su knelt down to the emperor's side and said, "Your Majesty, please have mercy, Your Majesty!! My family has nothing to do with this matter!"

The emperor threw Concubine Su at him and said, "I have already shown mercy. Your crime deserves the punishment of your entire clan. It is not too much to just exile you. What else are you dissatisfied with! Besides, your female relatives are still in Kyoto!"

Su Fei was speechless. She wanted to ask whether her two children would be implicated.

The emperor just said: "I will find out the source of those things. Where did they come from? If you are involved, I will decide how to deal with them!"

"Your Majesty, this matter was really done by me alone!" Concubine Su emphasized her defense again.

The emperor only ordered: "Drag him away!"

Su Fei was dragged away crying.

The Queen watched the whole show and felt extremely happy. Another annoying person in the harem was removed. How could she not be happy!

He did not notice Qin Xingyue standing beside him, with his brows lowered and his eyes looking thoughtful.

The emperor turned to Fulu and said, "I consider that you have been with me for many years, so I will give you a decent life. You can end your life now!"
