Chapter 33 "The emperor is heartless and has no children, and the concubines are causing troubl
At the end of the day, Chu Zan had just finished his palace affairs and wanted to go to Qingzhuyuan, but he was worried that it would disturb Yu Jinshu and prevent him from sleeping.
He was tossing and turning on the dragon bed when he heard Eunuch Xu entering the bedroom and saying, "Your Majesty, Concubine An is here."
When Chu Zan heard this, he was overjoyed and blurted out the words in his heart: "Jinshu must have missed me so much that she couldn't sleep, so she came. Go and tell her to come in."
After a while, Yu Jinshu entered the palace. Chu Zan greeted her at the door and hugged her sideways. He walked to the dragon bed and placed her on the bed.
A dishonest hand untied Yu Jinshu's shirt, and she quickly squeezed Chu Zan's hand: "Wait a minute, I have something important to tell you."
Under the dim candlelight, Chu Zan looked at the seductive face in front of him, leaned over and kissed her, and then asked: "What's important? Is it something about your family?"
What could he think of a woman? Something must have happened to her family.
But as far as he knew, the relationship between Jinshu and Dingpinghou Mansion was not good. She had even been bullied by her second mother and younger sister since she was born, and Dingpinghou ignored him.
Recently, he had been thinking about whether to teach Marquis Dingping a lesson, but he always felt that he was Jinshu's biological father, so if he really wanted to teach him a lesson, he had to obtain Jinshu's consent.
"It's not about my concubine's family, it's about Chu Chenmu."
Chu Zan's eyes darkened: "Chu Chenmu."
Yu Jinshu couldn't tell Chu Zan that Chu Chenmu had an affair with the Queen Wei Ruyan, because she couldn't provide evidence of their adultery. If she told Chu Zan, it would make Chu Zan think that she was petty, and even make him think that she was plotting against the Queen. Bit.
"Today at the palace banquet, I noticed something was wrong with Chu Chenmu. He didn't seem to be respectful to the emperor."
Chu Zan's heart trembled, and he quickly asked: "Did Chu Chenmu bully you?" If so, he would definitely cut Chu Chenmu into pieces.
Yu Jinshu thought of the sound Chu Chen made when he kissed the pendant, and felt a chill in his heart.
She shook her head: "Chu Chenmu did not bully me. The emperor was assassinated in the Western Market last time. I saw Chu Chenmu. At that time, I could tell that it was the killer Chu Chenmu had found to assassinate the emperor."
She actually didn't see Chu Chenmu, but she could only make it up.
Chu Zan's expression was very calm: "I know this."
Yu Jinshu was surprised: "Your Majesty, do you know it is Chu Chenmu?"
Chu Zan nodded, he smiled and scratched Yu Jinshu's small and straight nose: "Don't think that I don't know anything just because I stay in the palace all day long. The palace affairs are busy recently, and the busiest thing is checking Chu Chenmu. This time Chu Chenmu will enter the harem, it is also my special arrangement."
If Chu Chenmu's son Chu Huanwei was to be adopted into the royal family, then Chu Huanwei would just be allowed to enter the harem.
But Chu Zan invited Chu Chenmu to enter the palace with him. He wanted to know what Chu Chenmu would do if he entered the palace?
Yu Jinshu stared at Chu Zan's star-like eyes: "Does your Majesty know where Chu Chenmu went tonight?"
Chu Zan's eyes darkened: "Kunning Palace."
Yu Jinshu relaxed now and asked with a smile: "Does the emperor know what Chu Chenmu did when he entered Kunning Palace, and what did they say?"
Chu Zan said: "I only know that Chu Chenmu and Wei Ruyan are happy, but I don't know what they said."
Huanhao's voice was so unbridled that the people in Kunning Palace could hear it clearly.
Yu Jinshu's face became solemn: "Now that the emperor knows that the queen is having an affair with Chu Chenmu, the emperor must pay more attention to what he eats next. Chu Chenmu gave Wei Ruyan a poison, which was prepared for you, the emperor. It is said that after taking it, you will die suddenly within seven days."
Chu Zan clenched his teeth: "What a vicious couple."
Yu Jinshu laughed: "The emperor would also say such vulgar words."
Chu Zan looked at his Jin Shu's sweet smile and felt instantly healed. He smiled and scratched Jin Shu's nose again, "I am also a human being. When I get angry, I will scold him harshly."
Yu Jinshu chuckled, finding it very interesting.
When she watched modern TV dramas, the emperors in them were very serious and spoke in a serious manner.
Chu Zan was fascinated by the way she smiled, until she stopped smiling and looked at him with a longing look.
It was his turn to smile. He leaned down, bit her smiling lips, opened her clothes, and began to invade her like he was attacking a city.
……
For Chu Zan, the list of several officials sent by Yu Jinshu was a great achievement.
Chu Chenmu had always been very secretive. Although he knew that he was planning to usurp the throne, he was not completely aware of his power in the court and his next actions.
With this list, Chu Zan can arrange for Jin Yiwei to monitor them closely.
How did Yu Jinshu, a woman from a deep palace, know this?
Chu Zan asked, but Yu Jinshu only said that she saw Chu Chenmu interacting with these officials when she was outside the palace.
Chu Zan always felt that something was wrong, but he didn't care too much because Yu Jinshu was helping him, and he just needed to accept her help.
The next day, Chu Zan deliberately went to Cining Palace with the queen and concubines in the morning. He wanted to create an opportunity for Wei Ruyan to poison him.
Normally the emperor would never meet with the queen and concubines, but today it was unusual.
Wei Ruyan had been hiding the packet of poison that Chu Chenmu had given to Wei Ruyan in his sleeve pocket. He didn't expect to find it so quickly.
If you take this poison, you won't die immediately. It will take seven days. If Wei Ruyan feeds the emperor today, and the emperor dies suddenly in seven days, he will definitely not be able to kill her.
Today, Concubine An and Yu Jinshu said they were ill and did not come. None of the concubines expected to meet the emperor this morning. They all hated themselves for not dressing up more beautifully.
The ladies-in-waiting made tea and prepared snacks in the side room.
The Queen Mother specially ordered the maids to brew the Longjing tea that was offered as tribute this spring for the Emperor to drink, adding more tea leaves.
Wei Ruyan handed the powder to her personal maid, Sining.
Sining entered the tea room.
The cup of Longjing tea belonging to the emperor in the tea house has been brewed.
The tea and snacks eaten in the evening are always prepared by Miaozhu, the maid next to the Queen Mother.
Because the emperor came this morning, he specially called two more maids to come in to help.
Sining came in carrying an exquisite food box, "Sisters, these are the peaches from Kunning Palace. They are very delicious. The Queen asked me to pick them and bring them to the Queen Mother to taste."
Miaoyu said: "I thought only Qingzhu Garden had peach trees! It turns out that there are also peach trees in Kunning Palace."
Sining took out the peaches that had been cut long ago, "Sisters, try it first to see if it tastes good?"
A palace maid tasted a piece and said, "This variety of peach seems not as good as the one from Qingzhuyuan."
Sining was a little embarrassed: "Last time we went back to Qingzhuyuan, Concubine An sent peaches to Kunning Palace. The queen tasted them and said they were not sweet enough!"
"Let me compare." Miaoyu also came to have a taste.
Sining took advantage of Miaoyu to taste the peaches, approached the cup of Longjing, put the medicinal powder in her fingernails, and flicked it in.
