Yun Chu's face was indifferent.
Chu Rui was able to take advantage of Su Ziyue precisely because Su Ziyue was extremely innocent.
And the reason why she could kill Zi Gu so easily was because Su Ziyue had no scheming intentions.
Su Ziyue bit her lower lip, and after a long time she said, "Sister Crown Princess, there's something wrong with the osmanthus cake, isn't it?"
Yunchu didn't give any response.
Su Ziyue didn't know what to say, and the two of them were silent.
After a while, the emperor's voice was faintly heard in the main hall: "...Okay, since this is what you all mean, then we will send more troops, a total of 150,000 elite soldiers..."
Yun Chu breathed a sigh of relief.
Although 150,000 troops can only be considered reluctant to attack Dongling Kingdom, at least it is better than 80,000 troops.
After a while, the ministers in the hall exited.
Chu Hongyu immediately said loudly: "Grandpa Huang, I'm coming in. I miss Grandpa Huang so much."
Eunuch Gao hurriedly said: "Your Highness, please allow me to go in and report..."
Yunchu held his son's hand and motioned for him to wait patiently.
In the past, Brother Yu could break into the Yangxin Hall without notification. That was because the relationship between the emperor and Chu Yi was mostly father and son.
And now... so many things have happened, and Chu Yi has become the prince. The last time the emperor vomited blood and fainted and woke up, Chu Yi was bleeding from the emperor's fingertips...
It is said that the prince is the best son of the emperor.
Similarly, the person the emperor fears the most is also the prince.
If the prince couldn't wait any longer, wouldn't he kill the king and his father?
Eunuch Gao came out soon and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the Crown Princess and His Highness are entering the palace."
Yun Chu held his son's hand and walked in, and the two of them saluted together.
Chu Hongyu raised his head and saw the emperor's pale face. He immediately approached him and said, "Why is the emperor so sick? Wherever it hurts, I will call the emperor..."
The emperor's expression softened a lot.
But when Chu Hongyu picked up the medicine bowl next to the bed and gave him medicine, he turned his head away indifferently: "I won't bother you with the medicine."
"I just want to do something for the emperor's grandfather." Chu Hongyu was really worried about the emperor's health. "Although the medicine is bitter, it will be better if you drink it. I have also prepared candied fruits. Please take a sip, grandfather."
The emperor's face darkened.
Chu Hongyu took out a candied fruit from his pocket and stuffed it into the emperor's mouth: "Okay, okay, then the emperor's grandfather eats the candied fruit first and then drinks the medicine. That's okay. Oops, why is he more difficult to coax than my sister..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he saw the emperor spitting out the candied fruit and not intending to eat it.
Chu Hongyu's face was filled with astonishment: "Grandpa Huang..."
"Brother Yu!"
Yun Chu stretched out his hand and pulled the little guy to his side.
She understood clearly that the emperor was suspicious of Chu Yi and Brother Yu, and he was even more suspicious of her, the Crown Princess.
If the emperor doesn't believe that he has been poisoned at all, then her so-called antidote will not be valid for the emperor.
It seems that we can only find someone to secretly feed the emperor the antidote.
"Brother Yu is just worried about my father's dragon body. Please forgive me." Yun Chu lowered his head and said, "My father's dragon body is not in good condition, so my daughter-in-law and Brother Yu will not disturb me."
She bowed and led Chu Hongyu outside the Yangxin Hall.
"Mom, why is the emperor so cold?" Chu Hongyu raised his head, his face full of grievances, "It wasn't like this before."
Yun Chu touched his head and said softly: "Your imperial grandfather is ill, and it is difficult for the patient to control his emotions. You have to forgive a patient."
She asked Chu Hongyu to go to the Imperial Academy by himself, while she stood outside the Yangxin Hall and waited quietly.
After waiting for a long time, I finally saw Eunuch Gao walking out of the hall, gently closing the door, standing at the foot of the steps, silently guarding the people in the hall.
She took two steps forward, allowing herself to appear in Eunuch Gao's field of vision.
Sure enough, Eunuch Gao saw her and walked over: "The Crown Princess has something to meet with the Emperor. The Emperor just drank medicine and went to sleep. The Crown Princess should come back tomorrow."
Yun Chu looked at Eunuch Gao and said slowly: "How many years have Eunuch Gao been with my father?"
Eunuch Gao thought for a while and said: "Since the old slave entered the palace at the age of six, he has been singing by the emperor's side. In the blink of an eye, both the old slave and the emperor have become old. Time is not forgiving."
"The person that my father trusts the most is probably Eunuch Gao. I can only ask Eunuch Gao for help with this matter." Yun Chu said, "My father's health is so poor. In fact, it is not because he is infected with the cold, but because he is poisoned. .”
Eunuch Gao's hand shook violently, and the fly whisk in his hand almost fell to the ground: "Is the Crown Princess serious about what she said?"
Yun Chu nodded: "Eunuch Gao has also seen it. My father is so suspicious now that he is not even willing to eat the candied fruit given by one of Brother Yu's children. If I rashly take out the antidote, my father will not believe it."
"It would be great if there is an antidote. If there is an antidote, the emperor will not have such a hard time every day..." Eunuch Gao cried with joy and said while wiping his tears, "I understand what the princess means. She wants me to feed the emperor the antidote." Huh? Although the old slave is just a slave, he can understand the situation... Now that His Royal Highness has just sat in this position, he took a step back and said that even if he had that intention, he would not take action at this time. Therefore, the old slave is willing Trust the Crown Princess!”
Yun Chu took out a paper bag from his sleeve, with only one pill in it, and handed it over: "This antidote needs to be taken in nine times. This is the first medicine. Please wait for your father to take it first, Eunuch Gao. Tomorrow I will ask Brother Yu to come to the palace to deliver medicine."
Eunuch Gao carefully took the paper package and said, "Don't worry, Crown Princess! I will definitely live up to my expectations. When the Emperor takes the medicine, I will have someone send a message to the Crown Princess."
Yun Chu looked into his eyes and said, "Thank you so much, Eunuch Gao."
After finishing the business, Yun Chu left the palace.
When she walked to the palace gate, she saw another carriage parked next to her carriage. The person standing beside the carriage was wearing dark official uniforms and official hats, suppressing his original sick look. It went down a lot.
"I've met the Crown Princess."
Chu Rui walked towards her and bowed her hands.
Yun Chu curled his lips and smiled: "Prince Zhuang is now the second-rank minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, so he is so prestigious."
Chu Rui came to the rescue at last year's birthday banquet, was made the king, and was given the title of third-rank official in the Ministry of Household Affairs. In less than half a year, he was promoted to one rank. It was obviously due to Gu Chong.
"The Crown Princess's words shocked me." Chu Rui met her eyes, "The Crown Princess is smart and courageous. I am not surprised at all that my wife fell into the hands of the Crown Princess."
Yun Chu's eyes were extremely cold: "Outsiders say that Prince Zhuang is a sick man. I also thought that Prince Zhuang will die soon. Now, I really regret saving you in Jinying Palace that day. I saved a wild wolf." .”
"I can't help myself..." Chu Rui's eyes were full of darkness, "My identity gives me no second choice."
Yun Chu shook his head: "If you don't want to talk about it, I'll say goodbye."
She lifted up her skirt and got on the carriage.
Chu Rui looked at the carriage slowly driving away, his eyes darker and darker.
