In the bedroom, the Empress Dowager saw Xiao Jiuyuan coming in and said with a smile,””Yuan ‘er, why did you come to the palace?”
“I have something to discuss with my Royal brother. Since mother is here, let’s listen together …”
Xiao Jiuyuan’s cold aura and eyes made the Empress Dowager feel uneasy.
She quickly looked at the Emperor on the bed. Did the Emperor do something to Jiu Yuan again?
Xiao Jiuyuan strode to the emperor’s bed and looked down at the Emperor.
“Imperial brother, so the person who poisoned me before was none other than you. You used aunt SU’s son to threaten her and secretly poisoned me. Later, I thought the person who poisoned me was the Crown Prince. In fact, the Crown Prince only killed my fiancée and tried to assassinate me. However, the one who poisoned me was not the Crown Prince, but you.”
There was a moment of silence in the palace. The Empress Dowager’s face was pale and she cried out,””Emperor, is this true? Why did you do that?”
The emperor’s face darkened as he denied it, determined not to admit that he had done such a thing.
“Zhen didn’t do it. What evidence do you have to prove that Zhen instructed aunt su to poison you? maybe you fell for someone else’s scheme. They are trying to sow discord and harm you and my brother.”
When Xiao Jiuyuan heard the two brothers mentioned by the Emperor, he only felt that it was a great irony.
If he really did acknowledge him as his brother, why would he have tried to poison him?
Xiao Jiuyuan was too lazy to argue with the Emperor, so he directly called out to the outside of the bedroom,””Little quanzi, come in.”
Eunuch Quan quickly came in from outside the hall. He knelt on the ground with a thud, not even daring to raise his head.
“The Emperor knows eunuch Quan, right? the Emperor ordered eunuch Quan to get in touch with aunt su.”
The emperor’s expression was extremely unsightly as he glared at eunuch Quan who was kneeling on the ground.
This dog slave, he had asked the left Prime Minister Qin mucang to kill him.
He didn’t expect him to be alive.
The Emperor suddenly thought of Qin mucang’s identity. He was the son of Rong Heng, King of Nanyang. Even if he were to die, Qin mucang would still set him up.
The Emperor looked at Xiao Jiuyuan and shouted,””This is Qin mucang’s scheme. Don’t be fooled.”
Xiao Jiuyuan looked at the Emperor and said slowly.
“Imperial older brother need not quibble. In fact, even if eunuch Quan was not present, the Crown Prince also said before he died that he was not the one who poisoned me. Also, if I wholeheartedly investigate, I will definitely find evidence of Imperial older brother poisoning me. Does Imperial brother really want me to investigate?”
The Emperor was stunned, unable to say a word.
Seeing him like this, the Empress Dowager naturally knew that the person who had poisoned Xiao Jiuyuan was the Emperor.
The Empress Dowager was so angry that she burst into tears. She raised her hand and punched the Emperor.”How can you be so foolish? this widow has told you again and again not to make things difficult for Yuan ‘er, not to make things difficult for him. Yuan’ er will not take your throne, he will not take everything from you. Why don’t you listen?”
The old Emperor ignored the Empress Dowager and slowly looked at Xiao Jiuyuan.
“What do you want?”
Xiao Jiuyuan looked at the Emperor and said in a deep voice,”
“I’m here today to tell you that the matter of you poisoning me in the past has been written off. However, we are no longer brothers. From now on, you are no longer my Royal brother, and I am no longer your Royal brother. As for Dongli’s matter, I will not interfere in it at all. Whether it is your enmity with the southern Zhao or the northern barbarians, you can deal with it yourself.”
“After Yu ‘er and I get married, we will leave the capital. The capital will have nothing to do with me.”
