The secrets of the government behind the scenes are revealed, and all the villains are on their knee

"Your Majesty, there is indeed a poisonous insect in Concubine Chan's body."

After the three imperial doctors came for follow-up consultation, they gave the same answer.

"How is this possible?" Duke Xu pretended to be shocked. "Aren't people from the Southern Yu Kingdom the only ones who can use Gu?"

Hearing this, everyone looked at Li Fanghua.

Li Fanghua twitched her lips, "There are several types of Gu. Some Gu insects hurt people, some make people infatuated, some make people immersed in beautiful illusions, and some make people beautify their skin."

"The first two were forced, the last two were voluntary, and Concubine Chan is now experiencing hallucinations, which means it was the third type of poisonous insect."

"This kind of Gu has both advantages and disadvantages. It can make people immersed in the beautiful illusion they have woven, but it can also backfire. Once it backfires, the beautiful illusion will be shattered and turn into an illusion that scares her."

[Haha, you really are good at making up stories. ]

"You mean to say that Concubine Chan volunteered to have someone plant the Gu?"

There was a royal physician.

"That's right." Li Fanghua nodded. "So she brought this upon herself. She can't blame the person who cast the spell on her."

The implication was that the people of Nanyu did not want to harm Concubine Chan, it was Concubine Chan who brought this upon herself, so the person who cast the curse could not be blamed, and she, Li Fanghua, had nothing to do with the matter.

【It's a clean one. 】

"General Fanghua, what you said is not right. Concubine Chan is fine, how could she allow someone to cast such a poison on her?"

Lin You curled his lips and smiled.

"It's very simple. Because Concubine Chan has never been favored by Emperor An, she wants to weave a beautiful fantasy to live her life. Alas, she is such a pitiful woman."

After Li Fanghua finished speaking, Duke Xu clenched his fists.

Indeed, if the emperor had doted on Chan'er and given her the position of empress, they, father and daughter, would not have come to this point.

All of this was done by the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, who deceived and forced them.

Don't blame them for betraying him.

Several imperial doctors looked at the frail emperor cautiously.

"Whether it is true as the general said, we have to investigate to find out."

Shen Jingan said lightly.

The voice was light but cold, carrying an imposing aura.

After saying that, Shen Jing'an ordered all the palace maids and eunuchs around Concubine Chan to be taken away for interrogation.

"As for Concubine Chan, she is confined to her house for life and is not allowed to step out of the Chan Palace even once."

Duke Xu knelt down with a plop. "No, Your Majesty. Concubine Chan did this because of you. How can you be so cruel and heartless?"

"I did not abolish her position as a concubine and locked her up in the cold palace. This was already a great tolerance. As for you, Duke Xu, you did not discipline your daughter and let her do such an outrageous act. You will not escape punishment either."

"Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with me!"

Hearing that he would also be punished, Duke Xu panicked.

"Eunuch Hong, draft an imperial edict to depose Duke Xu."

"Yes."

"Your Majesty, I am the Queen Mother's half-brother. You cannot dethrone me. You will hurt the Queen Mother's heart."

Duke Xu was still trying his best to excuse himself.

"Humph, I won't be sad. On the contrary, I support the emperor."

At this time, the Queen Mother's voice sounded.

Everyone's eyes turned to the door, and they saw the Queen Mother walking towards them with steady steps, leaning on a cane and with a sullen look on her face.

Duke Xu crawled over, grabbed the Queen Mother's clothes, and cried and begged, "Queen Mother, no, elder sister, we are from the same mother. Have you forgotten that when you were a child, you were bullied and I stood in front of you and protected you?"

"Also, when mother wanted to beat you and scold you, I was the one who protected you. And when you were locked up and hungry, I was the one who secretly brought you food."

"Eldest sister, have you forgotten everything?"

"Haha, it's precisely because I haven't forgotten that I've tolerated you for so long. But you, on the other hand, have long stopped considering me as your elder sister."

"No, you have always been my elder sister. I have always missed you, but I am busy, so I..."

"Xu Hao, you know what you did."

The Queen Mother said this in a cold voice, then pulled the hem of her clothes out of Duke Xu's hands, turned around, and had Duke Xu dragged away.

After hearing the Queen Mother's words, Duke Xu's expression changed and he stopped begging for mercy.

My heart was shaking.

Therefore, the Emperor and the Queen Mother deposed him from his title this time not because of Chan'er's poisoning, but because they already knew that he had stood on Prince Yu's side and betrayed them.

But how did they know?

The emperor stayed in Yunqian Palace every day, and the queen mother rarely left Shouren Palace. Besides, they had no loyal people, so how could they know that he had betrayed them?

It’s Concubine You, yes, it must be the enchanting Concubine You.

She was the only one who often went out of the palace, and Shangshu Jiang, Zhongshu Ling and others were her confidants, so she sent people to follow him and Shen Yu, and told the emperor and the empress dowager about him and Shen Yu.

"Noble Concubine You, you evil concubine, it was you who whispered evil words in the ears of the Emperor and the Queen Mother, wasn't it? You evil concubine who brings disaster to people!"

"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, this evil concubine will bring about the downfall of Dasheng sooner or later. You cannot keep her!"

Duke Xu, who was dragged to the gate, suddenly started shouting hysterically.

Everyone in the front hall heard it.

The Queen Mother was so angry that she just banged the cane in her hand, "What a bastard! How could the Xu family have such a bastard!"

Li Fanghua watched silently from the side, his eyes full of gloating.

--

After sending the empress dowager back to Shouren Palace and comforting her to sleep, Lin You and Shen Jing'an returned to Yunqian Palace.

At night, Lin You lay in Shen Jing'an's arms and described in great vivid detail how she had hurt Li Fanghua with Li Fanghua's hairpin.

This made Shen Jingan laugh.

Lin You lifted his chin and winked, "Your Majesty is so handsome when he smiles. You should smile more often. You pretend to be sick all day and act like an emotionless robot."

"robot?"

Shen Jingan opened his mouth in doubt.

"What is that?"

He wanted to know more about the world that Lin You lived in so that he could have something in common with her.

"It's something similar to something made of iron."

Lin You answered subconsciously instead of avoiding the topic.

"Is the iron-made thing like the picture of the fighter plane that my beloved concubine drew?"

As Shen Jing'an asked, he stroked the black hair of the person in his arms, making it smooth.

"Well, almost."

"Hey, isn't the emperor curious about why I know these strange things?"

Lin You only realized now that Shen Jing'an had never questioned him about these strange behaviors.

"If my beloved concubine is willing to tell me, she will tell me. I don't want to embarrass my beloved concubine, make her feel entangled, or worry about her brain."

The low, gentle voice fell gently into her ears, like a feather brushing her earlobe, making Lin You's heart soften.

He said that he didn't ask because he didn't want to embarrass himself, get tangled up, or hurt his brain...

"Shen Jing'an, can you be so nice?"

It’s not the emperor, it’s Shen Jingan. At this moment, they are just an ordinary couple.
