The emperor's daily online flirting

Chapter 53 After Poisoning

Hearing this, Si Ruihan stretched out his arms and dipped his pen and ink, "The emperor intends to continue to make Concubine Hui fall out of favor?"

"Since when did I give her favor, it's fine for others to misunderstand, Ruihan, you can't talk nonsense." Xiao Jingyuan said a little aggrieved.

"Recently there have been a lot of rumors in the palace. A few days ago, Cao Xin's wife entered the palace to meet Concubine Hui. Afterwards, the Grand Concubine Palace sent a Guanyin to Suixuan Pavilion." Si Ruihan said while writing Buddhist scriptures.

"Heh, they are all quick-witted, Son-Song Guanyin..." Xiao Jingyuan said coldly.

Si Ruihan raised his eyes and glanced at him, "Cao Xin's residence has recently hired a lot of teachers and nuns, as well as several singers and luthiers from the dance workshop."

"Huh?" Xiao Jingyuan frowned up and down, a little puzzled.

"There is also a concubine's daughter in Cao Xin's mansion. I heard that she is dexterous and looks good." Si Ruihan said with a sigh.

"Huh?" Xiao Jingyuan was still very puzzled.

Si Ruihan stopped writing this time and put the pen aside, "Your majesty, don't pretend to be confused. If the minister's guess is not bad, a courtier should speak up in a few days. The emperor's harem is vacant, and the emperor's funeral has not yet passed. Don't make a lot of drafts, but you can add one or two to fill the vacant positions."

Now Xiao Jingyuan couldn't pretend anymore, he smiled helplessly, walked over and put his arms around Si Ruihan's shoulders, "You guessed so accurately, have you figured out how to refuse?"

Si Ruihan glanced at him sideways, "Why do you want to refuse? The emperor's refusal will not be effective. Once the emperor refuses, the empress dowager will definitely persuade the emperor in a few days, and the empress father will definitely persuade the emperor. Fang is anxious, and people will always send it in."

"Then what should we do?" Xiao Jingyuan asked with a smile.

"Why didn't the emperor care about it a long time ago? The reason why he ignored Concubine Hui for so many days was not just to let the Cao family do this." Si Ruihan said lightly.

Xiao Jingyuan's eyes flashed, and he leaned over begging for mercy, "I..."

"The bottom of the emperor's heart is like a bright mirror, it's because I'm worrying too much." Si Ruihan said.

"No, no, if you don't worry about me, how can I think so much by myself." Xiao Jingyuan let go of his arm, stretched out his hand and tugged at his sleeve.

"Ruihan, don't stop worrying about me."

Si Ruihan looked down at the hand pinching his sleeve, "Your Majesty..."

"Your Majesty, the memorials have all been brought in." Li Fu bent over and walked in, and said.

When he raised his head suddenly, he saw Xiao Jingyuan standing beside Si Ruihan, stretching his arms and pulling at his sleeve, with an aggrieved expression on his face, Li Fu thought he was dazzled, and the next moment, he hurriedly lowered his head.

Xiao Jingyuan withdrew his hand silently, squinted at Li Fu, "Put the memorial on the soft bed next to it, Li Fu...you are really more and more in line with my wishes."

Hearing Xiao Jingyuan's gnashing of teeth, Li Fu bent over, "Slave...resign."

When he withdrew, Xiao Jingyuan sighed, "Then I'll go to Suixuan Pavilion tonight, and come back later."

"Okay." After a moment of silence, Si Ruihan said.

suitable night

Xiao Jingyuan went to Suixuan Pavilion, Cao Yunran saw that Li Fu was about to burn incense and said, "Your Majesty, my concubine is not feeling well recently, may I not burn this incense tonight?"

Xiao Jingyuan's eyes flickered when he heard the words, he smiled slightly, and waved his hand to signal Li Fu to leave, "Concubine Hui is not feeling well, can you call the imperial physician."

Cao Yunran lowered her eyes, "It's just a little cold, it doesn't matter."

"The concubine ordered the imperial dining room to make some dinner, the emperor wants to try it." Cao Yunran said.

Xiao Jingyuan nodded slightly, "I haven't eaten tonight, so it's just a good time to be together."

After speaking, the two sat down. The meals on the table were not the usual dishes. Xiao Jingyuan raised his brows, and Cao Yunran said, "My concubine saw that the emperor didn't eat much when he came here, so I'm afraid the dishes didn't suit the taste. , let the imperial dining room do some other tricks."

Xiao Jingyuan nodded, Cao Yunran's hand under the table clenched and then loosened, then clenched again, "Your Majesty."

"What's the matter."

"The concubine has prepared peach blossom wine, the emperor wants to taste it." Cao Yunran asked hesitantly.

Xiao Jingyuan looked up at her, and clearly saw the hesitation and uneasiness in her eyes, so he raised his eyebrows, "Isn't it just for me to taste the wine prepared by the imperial concubine herself? Why are you so nervous?"

Cao Yunran's breathing was stagnant, she had the illusion that Xiao Jingyuan had seen through her, and she couldn't help but stay where she was with stiff limbs. It wasn't until Xiao Jingyuan poured a glass of wine under her nose and sniffed it that she came back to herself.

Seeing that Xiao Jingyuan wanted to drink, she hurriedly said, "Your Majesty."

Xiao Jingyuan stared at her with a wine glass in his hand, "What's the matter?"

Cao Yunran sat there holding hands for a long while, "Although this wine is not strong wine, but don't be greedy, your majesty should drink less."

Xiao Jingyuan narrowed his eyes, and the corners of his lips curved slightly, "My concubine cares a lot about me."

As he spoke, he drank the glass of wine in one gulp. Seeing this, Cao Yunran's heart beat like a drum, and she waited quietly. Tonight, she must be desperate. Only in this way can she get over her current situation. Only...

"Hmm!" A muffled snort brought her back to her senses, and when she looked closely, Xiao Jingyuan was leaning on the table with blood hanging from the corner of her mouth, cold sweat was dripping from her forehead, and her face was pale.

She got up in horror, Xiao Jingyuan propped the table and squinted, "Li Fu."

Li Fu opened the door and walked in. He was shocked when he saw this scene, "Your Majesty, come here, Imperial Physician Xuan."

Xiao Jingyuan grabbed Li Fu's arm, "Order someone to inform the queen, no matter what happens, everything will be arranged by the queen."

Li Fu nodded, looked at Cao Yunran who was stunned in place, "Your Majesty, my servant will help you inside."

"No, help me to sit in the soft bed next to me." Xiao Jingyuan said coldly.

When Si Ruihan arrived, the Suixuan Pavilion was brightly lit, Concubine Hui was kneeling in the courtyard wearing a coat, the gate of the palace was locked and guarded, and several figures could be vaguely seen shaking in the room.

Si Ruihan stepped forward, "Grand Concubine Hui, you are so courageous, you dare to poison the current saint, you will be punished."

Cao Yunran shuddered when she heard this, and looked up at Si Ruihan, "This concubine has never done such a rebellious thing."

Si Ruihan glanced at her indifferently, "The emperor is resting in the Suixuan Pavilion today, the dinner is also served in the Suixuan Pavilion, and the poison was also administered in the Suixuan Pavilion, so it has nothing to do with you?"

"The concubine has never poisoned her, it's just...just..." Cao Yunran hesitated, she did not poison, she just took some drugs for aphrodisiac, but giving the emperor such drugs is also a felony.

"The empress dowager is here."

After hearing the announcement, Cao Yunran seemed relieved, Si Ruihan's eyes darkened, and he turned around, "Emperor Dowager."

This is the first time the two of them have met like this. The imperial concubine Sun, wearing a plain brocade dress, holds a string of Buddhist beads in her hand. Si Ruihan knew that the other party was not easy to get along with.

"I heard that the emperor is ill, so I came here to see you." Mrs. Sun said lightly.

"The queen is here."

Almost at the same time, Wen Chengxian also walked in from the outside. When he saw Mrs. Sun, he frowned, "How is the emperor?"

"Father, the imperial physician is treating you." Si Ruihan said.

Wen Chengxian nodded, and glanced at Cao Yunran who was kneeling on the ground, "The emperor treats you well, why did you poison him, and who ordered it."

Cao Yunran's body trembled, "Father and empress have learned a lesson, there are really no concubines."

"What the Empress Dowager said was a bit biased. Although the poison was in the Broken Xuan Pavilion, it may not necessarily be the work of Concubine Hui. Everyone who handled tonight's dinner is suspicious. Why doesn't the Empress Doubt suspect others, only suspects Where is Concubine Hui?"

"Besides, what is the reason why Concubine Hui is favored now?"

"Furthermore, even if Concubine Hui poisoned her, why must someone be behind her... to instigate her."

Su E, who was behind the empress dowager, said loudly, Wen Chengxian stared at her, "I have heard for a long time that the maids in charge of the empress dowager's palace have sharp eyes and sharp mouths, but now it seems that they are really extraordinary."

"The slave is just telling the truth, I hope the Empress Dowager will forgive me." Su E raised her eyebrows and said.

When several parties were in a stalemate, Li Fu pushed open the door and walked out, "The emperor has ordered that the matter of tonight is entirely up to the queen, and no one can make a difference."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone present changed several times, only Si Ruihan looked indifferent, he glanced at Concubine Hui, "Li Fu, put Concubine Hui into prison, and make a conclusion after investigating the matter clearly."

"Shut up all the people who went in and out of Suixuan Pavilion tonight and handle the dinner, and investigate one by one. Interrogate Concubine Hui's personal palace servants, and make sure they speak clearly."

"The servant complies with the order." Li Fu said with a bow.

I heard that Su E's slight movement was stopped by Sun's eyes, and she narrowed her eyes looking at Si Ruihan's back.

"Can I go in and have a look?" Si Ruihan asked.

Li Fu nodded slightly, "Your Majesty please."

Si Ruihan walked into the room, and immediately saw Zhou Cinian who was following Imperial Physician Liu. He saw that Xiao Jingyuan was not lying on the bed, but was sitting on the soft couch, his face pale and scary.

He frowned and walked over, raised his hand to touch the other person's cheek, his hands were cold, "Why don't you lie down."

Xiao Jingyuan leaned her head on his body when she heard the words, and said weakly, "No, I won't lie on someone else's bed."

"You're here, why didn't you come in earlier and tell them something outside." Xiao Jingyuan hoarse, as if complaining.

Imperial Physician Liu wiped the sweat from his brow, "The empress is here, I'm going to get an injection, please trouble the empress to help me press it, your majesty..."

"I understand." Si Ruihan sighed, clasping Xiao Jingyuan's neck with one hand to let him get close to him, and gently groped the other's neck.

Xiao Jingyuan was not afraid of anything, and after living two lifetimes, he was only afraid of getting an needle, and every time he encountered a needle, he would have a serious face and raised eyebrows, enough to scare the imperial physician out of his wits.

Seeing Xiao Jingyuan's silence, Imperial Physician Liu began to administer the needles. Xiao Jingyuan smelled the fragrance of ink on Si Ruihan's body and closed his eyes, the pain in his chest lessened.

"Concubine Hui is not so bold yet. What she prepared before was just some aphrodisiacs, but they were changed midway, and she didn't even know it." Xiao Jingyuan said.

"She doesn't know but the emperor knows, since he knows, why does it have to be like this." Si Ruihan asked.
