Princess Consort Is No Pushover

With that said, the group wanted to bow down to Chu Xuanchen and Yun Ruoyue again.

Yun Ruoyue hurriedly supported Concubine De, and said: "Everyone please stand up, you don't need to be too polite, you are not wrong, you shouldn't be given death in the first place."

Chu Xuanchen also said: "Don't worry, I will never let anyone hurt you again when I am here."

Hearing what the two said, everyone was already moved to tears.

At this time, Concubine Shu came over, wiped her tears, and said: "His Royal Highness Li, Princess Li, my son Prince Rui treated you like this back then, I never thought that you would save us regardless of past suspicions. I know, what happened back then, It's all his fault, please allow me to apologize to you on his behalf."

"Concubine Shu, the deceased is gone, the past is over, don't take it to heart." Yun Ruoyue comforted.

She did not expect that Concubine Shu would be grateful to them for saving Concubine Shu this time.

After all, because of Prince Rui's passing, Concubine Shu had been blaming them for a long time.

At this time, Concubine Shu pulled out an eight or nine-year-old boy from the crowd, and said, "Princess Li, just now Eunuch Xu wanted to strangle Zixi to death together. Fortunately, General Mo came in time and cut off Eunuch Xu's hand." The white cloth saved Zixi's life."

As she said that, she looked at Chu Zixi and said, "Zixi, the prince and concubine are both your saviors, come quickly and thank them."

Chu Zixi hurried forward, kowtowed respectfully to Yun Ruoyue and Chu Xuanchen, and said, "Thank you, my lord, for saving my life."

"Get up!" Yun Ruoyue hurriedly helped him up, looked at Concubine Shu again, and said hesitantly, "So this is Zixi, who has grown so big, what about his mother? But she is also in the palace? "

Concubine Shu sighed, and said: "Qingqing finished dealing with Ruochen and Jingyi's funeral back then, and then she left the world of mortals and went to the temple to be ordained and become a monk! So, Zixi was raised by me alone."

"So that's the case, what a pity." Yun Ruoyue said, looking at the crowd again, and said hastily, "By the way, are you the only concubine who survived in the palace? Where are Concubine Xue Gui and Empress?"

Concubine Shu said: "Concubine Xue has left the palace with the emperor. As for the queen, Eunuch Xu dare not touch her for the time being, so she is still in the cold palace, she is fine."

When Yun Ruoyue heard this, she glanced at Su Ming next to her.

The queen is Su Ming's younger sister, and Eunuch Xu probably didn't kill the queen for Su Ming's sake.

At this moment, Chu Xuanchen looked at Eunuch Xu, and said in a deep voice, "Eunuch Xu, how many concubines have you killed?"

At this time, Eunuch Xu had already been escorted to the ground by the soldiers.

He looked at Chu Xuanchen with a terrified look on his face.

He didn't expect that Li Wang, who had been demoted to South Vietnam long ago, would come back, drive away the enemies, and take back the city.

Seeing Chu Xuanchen, he thought of the methods this man used to deal with him.

He was trembling with fright, and hurriedly said: "Go back to the lord, this servant has disposed of more than fifty concubines in total in the past few days. However, these are all orders from the emperor, and this servant only obeys orders, and this servant has no other choice!"

Chu Xuanchen said coldly: "It's a last resort? You follow the tyrant, help the tyrant, and do a lot of things that hurt the world and justice. It's a heinous crime. Do you think you can get away with it if you have no choice?"

"My lord, the servant did not help the evildoer, nor did he do anything against the heavens..." Eunuch Xu said hastily.

As soon as he finished speaking, Concubine De stepped forward, pointed at him, and said sharply: "Grandpa Xu, do you dare to say that you did not do anything harmful? Wasn't it you who poisoned the late emperor?"

As soon as these words were uttered, they slammed into the hearts of everyone like a huge boulder, startling a pool of water.

Chu Xuanchen immediately looked at Concubine De, and said in a deep voice, "Miss Concubine De, what did you say?"

Concubine De patted her chest nervously, and said: "My lord, since the emperor has already left us and fled, and he still doesn't miss the old relationship, he wants to ask Eunuch Xu to execute us. I think the truth about the past should also be revealed to the world. It's time!"

"What's the truth, tell the truth." Chu Xuanchen's tone was very calm, and his appearance was also very calm.

But Yun Ruoyue could tell that his fingertips were trembling, and there was already a trace of grief in his eyes.

Concubine De looked at the crowd, then lowered her eyes, and said, "Back then, Eunuch Xu was an eunuch serving by the late emperor's side, but he was actually bought by Chu Yao long ago. At that time, the late emperor was infected with the cold, and then, Chu Yao summoned Eunuch Xu to Prince Yao’s mansion, and asked Eunuch Xu to inject a chronic poison called nuxon in the emperor’s medicine for treating wind and cold.”

"What?" Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

Concubine De continued: "If this kind of toxin is only injected in a slight amount, it will not be easy to be noticed, and the symptoms will not be serious. However, if the poison is used frequently, the emperor will be severely poisoned soon, and then he will die due to difficulty in breathing. At that time Xu Gonggong took the opportunity of serving the late emperor to inject a little poison into the late emperor's medicine every day, causing the late emperor to be chronically poisoned, and his health deteriorated. People who didn't know the inside story thought that the symptoms of the late emperor were due to the worsening of the wind and cold. In fact, this is not the case at all. The first emperor was poisoned by the nuxy, and finally died of illness."
