Princess Consort Is No Pushover

When Eunuch Xu heard Concubine De's words, he was panicked.

He hurriedly said, "You are talking nonsense, Empress Defei, this old slave has no grudge against you, why do you want to frame this old slave?"

As Eunuch Xu said, he suddenly pointed at Concubine De and acted like he had suddenly realized, "I see, it must be because you are dissatisfied with the matter of death that you made up these lies to frame the old slave. But the old slave It is also forced, the old slave does not want to kill you, the old slave also obeys orders, why do you want to frame me?"

"I framed you? Are you worthy?" Concubine De said, raising her head arrogantly, "I didn't make up this matter at all, but I heard it with my own ears. Back then, Chu Yao loved me very much, so he often Call me to sleep. When you came to King Yao’s mansion to conspire with Chu Yao that night, I slept in the bedroom inside. At that time, you must have thought that I was asleep. In fact, my sleep was very light. When I heard you When I came here, I was woken up, and then I secretly hid behind the wall to eavesdrop, and I heard your conspiracy to poison the late emperor. It is a pity that I was very afraid of Chu Yao at the time, and he was me again. Husband, I was afraid that I would die if I revealed this matter, so I acted against my conscience, pretended I didn’t hear about it, and buried it in my heart for so many years.”

"And you, because you poisoned the first emperor and made great contributions to Chu Yao, that's why you have been favored by him until now. But you didn't expect that at a critical moment, he would abandon you, right?"

When Eunuch Xu heard this, he was taken aback for a moment.

Concubine De continued: "Now Chu Yao doesn't want us anymore, and he wants you to kill us. If he is unkind first, then of course I can't bear this tone, and I want to tell what happened back then."

Everyone was shocked when they heard Concubine De's words.

Everyone stood there in disbelief, too frightened to say anything.

It turned out that the first emperor was poisoned by Emperor Hongyuan.

Eunuch Xu hurriedly said: "My lord, don't listen to her one-sided words. She has no evidence and nothing to say. What she said is nothing to count. What she said is slander and planting. You must not listen to her!"

"Eunuch Xu! How dare you argue now?" At this moment, Su Ming suddenly stood up and stared at Eunuch Xu coldly.

"Master Su, you..." Seeing Su Ming stand up, Eunuch Xu was taken aback for a moment.

No wonder Su Ming didn't run away with the emperor, no wonder he took the ministers to meet Chu Xuanchen.

No wonder he was so respectful to Chu Xuanchen just now, almost on the back of his back, respecting and entertaining him.

It turned out that he had betrayed the emperor a long time ago and wanted to vote for Chu Xuanchen instead.

"Eunuch Xu, it doesn't matter if you don't plead guilty. I have another witness here." After Su Ming finished speaking, he looked at Chu Xuanchen and said respectfully, "My lord, Eunuch Xu was not the only witness to what happened back then. There are two more people, they also know the secrets of the past, please allow them to go to the palace."

Chu Xuanchen looked at Su Ming quietly, but he didn't expect Su Ming to find a witness.

It seemed that he had already prepared for this day.

Chu Xuanchen raised his eyes, and said coldly: "Okay, Mr. Su, pass the witness."

"Come here, bring witnesses into the hall." Su Ming waved his sleeves outside the hall, and immediately several guards walked in with two elderly men.

Now, all the officials and concubines looked at the two in amazement.

There are many newcomers who entered the palace later, they didn't know what happened back then, so all of them stared wide-eyed, wanting to know the truth.

After the two old men walked in, Chu Xuanchen suddenly discovered that he was very familiar with these two people.

One of the old men was Pang Yu, the head of the Taiyuan Hospital, and the attending doctor of the father; the other old man was the father-in-law who served by the father's side, his name was Zhang Yuan.

The moment he saw Zhang Yuan, Chu Xuanchen was startled.

Because this Zhang Yuan was also the one who saved his life by covering his mouth in the dark when his mother was killed.

He immediately walked over and asked, "Are you Zhang Gonggong?"

The moment Zhang Yuan saw Chu Xuanchen, he also quickly looked at him.

Seeing the former boy grow so big in one leap, his eyes immediately turned red!

He then knelt down in front of Chu Xuanchen, choked up and said, "Slave Zhang Yuan, I greet Your Highness."

"Eunuch Zhang, please get up quickly." Chu Xuanchen grabbed Zhang Yuan and helped him up.

And Pang Yu next to him also knelt on the ground, and hurriedly saluted Chu Xuanchen, "Slave Pang Yu, I greet Your Highness."

However, he is different from Zhang Yuan. His eyes are full of guilt and guilt, as well as deep self-blame.

At this time, the moment Eunuch Xu saw Pang Yu, his body trembled with fright, and his eyes were also very shocked.

Chu Xuanchen looked at Pang Yu coldly, his eyes were full of killing intent, "Doctor Pang, so you are still alive?"

Pang Yu nodded hurriedly, "Yes, after the first emperor was poisoned and died, Chu Yao was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so he wanted to kill several of our participating imperial physicians to silence them. At that time, the other three imperial physicians were silenced by Chu Yao first, and the little one knew that Chu Yao I will definitely not let me go, the younger one had some friendship with Master Su at that time, so I went to ask Master Su for help."

"Master Su looked at the young one pitifully, so he gave the young one a bottle of fake death pills. When Eunuch Xu brought poisoned wine to poison the young one, the young one took advantage of his unpreparedness and replaced the glass of poisoned wine with The wine of the fake death medicine. Then, after taking the wine, the little one fainted! Because the little one took the fake death medicine in advance, the corner of the little one's mouth was bleeding at the time, showing symptoms of poisoning, and this tricked Eunuch Xu Later, Master Su will send someone to collect the little one's body, he will send someone to take him out of the palace, give him the antidote, and only then will he save his life."
