After the subjugation of the country, she became the favorite concubine of the enemy

bang.

The cup in Ling Xiche's hand fell to the ground, and a strange feeling in his body made him almost lose his strength for a moment.

Shen Chen supported him, "Xi Che, what's wrong with you?"

Ling Xiche looked under the altar and saw that many people were looking at him and Shen Chen, so he shook his head and said it was okay.

Ling Xiche walked down the altar with Shen Chen, feeling his body became weaker every step he took, and when he finally walked down the mountain, he couldn't bear it and passed out.

When Ling Xiche woke up, he was already sitting in the carriage returning to the palace, and he was lying in Shen Chen's arms.

"Shen Chen..."

Shen Chen heard his voice, and quickly looked down at him, "You finally woke up. How do you feel? What's wrong?"

Ling Qiyuan, who was sitting next to him, also stepped forward to hold his hand, "Brother."

Ling Xiche had just woken up at this moment, his mind was still a little confused, so he straightened out his thoughts and said, "I suspect that I have been poisoned."

"What!" Shen Chen and Ling Qiyuan said in surprise in unison.

Ling Xiche closed his eyes, and opened them after a while.

Now I feel very tired, very tired, tired of talking, and my body is weak to the bone.

"At that time, when I drank that cup of Shengchuan's holy water, I could smell the fragrance of plum blossoms. It's not yet autumn, so I doubt where the plum blossoms come from, but I saw so many people looking at it. So, I drank it. The water was freshly tapped... I couldn't do anything... So many people were watching... Then there was only... yes. …”

Before Ling Xiche could finish speaking, she passed out again.

Shen Chen shook him gently, "What is it? Xi Che? What's wrong?"

Seeing this, Ling Qiyuan lightly touched Shen Chen, "Brother Huang, don't worry."

"How can I not be in a hurry?" Shen Chen said as he opened the curtain and looked outside, he had already entered the palace.He looked down at Ling Xiche again, "Xiche..."

"Brother should have wanted to say just now that the water should be fine, so the poison may be on the utensils." Ling Qiyuan said.

"You mean, the cup?"

Ling Qiyuan nodded, opened the curtain and told a guard next to her, "The emperor has orders, go and get the cup that Concubine Mei used when she enshrined in Zen, go quickly."

The guard quickly left the convoy after taking the order.

The carriage stopped in front of Chenle Palace, Shen Chen picked up Ling Xiche and got out of the carriage, Ling Qiyuan followed in together, at this time the imperial physician was already waiting in the palace.

Shen Chen put Ling Xiche on the bed, and the imperial physician stepped forward and lifted Ling Xiche's sleeve to check the pulse, and saw a red mark on his wrist, light red, in the shape of a plum blossom.

This imprint is very strange, it doesn't just happen to be shaped like a plum blossom, but it looks like a painted plum blossom, even the stamens are clear.

"what is this?"

Shen Chen took Ling Xiche's hand and looked at it. It was not painted on, it was like a birthmark growing on his flesh, but Ling Xiche had no birthmark before, and Shen Chen knew this best. .

It was also the first time for the imperial physician to see such a situation. He picked up a silver needle and lightly punctured the place where the plum blossoms were imprinted. He found that the blood that flowed out was not bright red, but rather black and dark.The imperial physician pricked Ling Xiche's fingertip again, and a bright red drop of blood slowly came out.

"Your Majesty, the plum blossom in your empress' hands is probably the reason why your empress fainted. I am afraid that your empress has been poisoned by some strange poison."

"What kind of poison is it?"

The Imperial Physician saluted, "Your Majesty, forgive me, I have never seen this kind of poison since I practiced medicine."

At this time, Xiao Mingzi's voice sounded, "Your Majesty! I found it! This is the cup that your empress used!"

Shen Chen took the cup and handed it to the imperial physician, "This is the cup he used, there should be poison residue on it."

The imperial doctor took the cup, "I've never seen this kind of poisonous official before. Even if there is poison left, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find a way to detoxify it for a while. It's because I'm not good at learning, please forgive me."

Hearing this, Shen Chen grabbed the cup and held it in his hands.

Ling Xiche was worried that there was something wrong with Concubine Xu's sudden ankle sprain before, but she still didn't believe it, but now it seems that there is really something wrong.If only I believed in it earlier, maybe this kind of thing wouldn't happen.

Ling Qiyuan saw that Shen Chen's face became particularly frightening, she was a little scared, and persuaded, "Brother Huang, calm down, the more you have to calm down at this time."

"You stay with him for a while, I will come back as soon as I go."

After Shen Chen finished speaking, he walked out of the door and went straight to Concubine Xu Gui's Changqiu Palace.

In the Changqiu Palace, seeing Shen Chen coming in angrily, the noble concubine was a little frightened, and limped to Shen Chen's side.

"Why is Your Majesty looking for a concubine?"

Shen Chen didn't want to talk nonsense with her, so he took out the phoenix embossed cup, "Do you know this?"

Concubine Xu Gui didn't expect to be suspected so soon, and she didn't know how to defend herself.

Seeing that she was silent, Shen Chen walked to the table, picked up the teapot, filled the cup, and held it in front of the imperial concubine.

"Drink it."

"His Majesty......"

Shen Chen sternly said, "I tell you to drink it down!"

Concubine Xu was yelled at by Shen Chen, "Your Majesty, this concubine made a mistake, and this concubine knew her mistake, Your Majesty..."

The imperial concubine wanted to pull the hem of Shen Chen's clothes, but Shen Chen threw her to the ground.

"Come here! Serve the poisoned wine!"

The noble concubine sat on the ground paralyzed when she heard this, "Shen Chen, am I really nothing in your heart? I have admired you since I was young, and you don't even know how much I loved you the day I entered the palace as your concubine." Happy, but you, you want to give me death for him? You are so cruel!"

Shen Chen looked at her coldly, "You want to put him to death over and over again, such a femme fatale, I definitely can't keep you. As long as he can save the day, that's all. The Xu family is buried with you! Come! Serve poisoned wine!"

Shen Yu who came over after hearing the news happened to hear that Shen Chen was going to give poisoned wine to the noble concubine, so he hurriedly stopped the servants who were going to prepare poisoned wine.

"Wait, wait! Brother Huang! Don't be impulsive!"

"I have made up my mind, you don't need to say more."

Shen Yu glanced at Concubine Xu Gui, and said to Shen Chen, "Brother Huang, if you give her to death, have you thought about the consequences? If you do this, our Shen family and Xu family will really turn against each other, Brother Huang, Think twice!"

Shen Chen flicked his sleeves, "I'm the emperor, and they're just courtiers, and I can't do it if I want to! I can give her a whole body, and I think it's for the merits of the ancestors of the Xu family."

After Shen Chen finished speaking, he turned around and said to Li Fuquan, "Go on and send her back to Xu's house after she dies."

"Brother Emperor!"

Shen Yu still wanted to persuade, but was stopped by Shen Chen's gesture, "Shen Yu, I have said it, and I have made up my mind. If you dare to disobey the holy will, I will punish you together."

Shen Yu knew that the only way now might be to pull the Queen Mother over, and was about to sneak away to Shoukang Palace, but was stopped by Shen Chen.

"Stop! Where are you going?"

"I, I'm going home."

"You stay here and you are not allowed to go anywhere."

When Empress Dowager Xu finally got the news and rushed over, it was already too late.

Empress Dowager Xu gave Shen Chen a cold look, said nothing, returned to the Shoukang Palace, took off the hairpin, changed into a plain dress of solid color, and prepared the car to go to her natal home.

Empress Dowager Xu has not been back to her natal home for at least 20 years, and she never thought that this would be the case when she went back.

Uncle Xu Guo was weeping sadly and almost passed out.

"Brother."

Uncle Xu Guo turned to look at Queen Mother Xu and saluted.

"The old minister lost his beloved daughter, and really has no intention of entertaining her. Please forgive me, the Queen Mother."

"Brother..."

"Please go back, Queen Mother." Uncle Xu Guo made a gesture to see off the guests.

Empress Dowager Xu knew that this matter was irreversible, but she was still going to try her best, "Brother, I will be strong for most of my life, and I have never begged anyone, but today, I beg you. Brother, I beg you, forgive Chen'er, for the sake of Duanguo. Please forgive Chen'er."

Uncle Xu Guo said with red eyes, "You want me to forgive your son? Then who will forgive my daughter? I hugged Shen Chen when he was young, but he really doesn't care about him at all."

"Brother, you are the pillar of Duanguo. If you and Chen'er are divorced, what will happen to the future of Duanguo?"

Uncle Xu Guo closed his eyes, "Please come back, Queen Mother, there is no need to say anything now."
