Chapter 177 Murdering the Prince in Public
Emperor Qinglong was so moved that he almost cried: Little girl, my love for her is not in vain!
But Song Yunxi didn't give him the chance to keep feeling touched.
[What sin did I commit to deserve such a master uncle like him? It’s really terrible!]
Seeing that Emperor Qinglong's expression had eased and he stopped scolding, Ye Xuanrong also spoke boldly out of his love for him: "Father, the reason you were able to wake up this time was all because of the medicine that Mu Xue...the daughter of Ningyuan Marquis offered you."
[Haha, your crisis hasn't even been resolved yet, and you're already eager to take credit for your sweetheart? It's different now that you're actually husband and wife, and even Shen Zhikang doesn't shy away from it.]
boom!
Ye Xuanling felt as if struck by lightning. His world seemed to have fallen into darkness. Everything around him was isolated from the darkness. The words "fornication" and "marital affairs" were echoing in his mind.
How can this be?
In his mind, Song Muxue has always been a pure and otherworldly fairy, the kind that no one can desecrate and is unattainable. How could she possibly have an affair with his sixth brother?
And...and the emperor had already designated her as Shen Zhikang's concubine. If they hadn't kept making excuses to get the emperor to do it and hadn't cared much about it, she would have already been Shen Zhikang's woman.
And the sixth brother, who was usually so close to Shen Zhikang, closer than real brothers, actually... actually had his hands on his concubine.
Ye Xuanling's cognitive world, which already had cracks, collapsed in an instant.
But Song Yunxi, who was completely unaware that her thoughts had been leaked, continued to satisfy other people's gossipy hearts.
[At this time, Song Muxue was already pregnant with Ye Xuanrong's child. Shen Zhikang would never be able to have a human being in this life, let alone have his own child. Although Ye Xuanrong had nothing to do with the old emperor, his child was of the Shen family blood after all. I think Shen Zhikang would not mind having a child of the same blood.]
Ye Xuanling completely collapsed.
So he was distracted and didn't hear Song Yunxi's next words -
[I gave him such a blood-related child. Shen Zhikang should really thank me. Looking around the world, where can he find such a good ex-fiancée like me? ]
Emperor Qinglong: I was being polite by not cursing your eight generations of ancestors!
Queen: ...This really isn't much of a thank you, is it?
Ye Xuanqi: Well, this idea is not wrong.
Ye Xuan Ke: From now on, I will never offend this devil in the slightest, never!
Master Zhu and the other two all looked at Shen Zhikang at the same time. The green light covering his head was quite eye-catching!
As for Concubine Tong, she was ecstatic, and her gratitude towards Song Yunxi soared once again. God was really kind to her by letting her meet such a lucky star as Song Yunxi.
Although she was extremely disappointed with her son Ye Xuanling, it would definitely take a long time for her to take back the Tong family's property. Whenever she thought that during this period of time, the Tong family's things would continue to be sent to Song Muxue, she felt sick and suffocated.
Now that Song Muxue had gotten pregnant with Ye Xuanrong's child behind Shen Zhikang's back, the belly couldn't lie, and she wanted to see if her unjust son would rush to get pregnant when Song Muxue's belly got bigger.
The Chongzheng Hall returned to silence, but this time everyone was waiting for Song Yunxi to continue thinking. They were all waiting to hear gossip.
Noticing the unusual silence, Song Yunxi, who had just been immersed in her own emotions, came back to her senses first.
[What's going on? Did something just happen? Why is it so quiet all of a sudden? ]
At the same time, he looked around and observed everyone's expressions.
Emperor Qinglong cleared his throat and said, "Sixth Brother, are you saying that I am safe and sound thanks to Second Miss Song's medicine?"
Before Ye Xuanrong could do so, Song Muxue knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty is the true emperor, so he is naturally blessed with great fortune and can turn misfortune into fortune. The medicine I offer is just icing on the cake, and I dare not take credit for it."
She knew how suspicious Emperor Qinglong was, and all her memories of her past life were there. She didn't want to be suspected.
After all, she had predicted that the emperor would fall into a coma based on her memories of her previous life, so she prepared the Qingxue Pills in advance.
The emotion in Emperor Qinglong's eyes was hard to discern: "But according to what Lao Liu said, I should reward you."
Song Muxue maintained a humble attitude: "Sixth Prince, you are too kind."
"But I am a person who clearly distinguishes rewards and punishments..."
Emperor Qinglong seemed very pleased with her humility, and his tone softened a bit: "Since it was the medicine you gave me that made me wake up, I will certainly give you a reward."
"As for the punishment..."
Before Emperor Qinglong could finish his words, he vomited blood and fainted again. The entire Chongzheng Hall was instantly in chaos, and the imperial doctors who had not left yet were called in again.
After checking the emperor's pulse, Tang Yuanshi was shocked: "The emperor has been poisoned!"
All the imperial physicians' diagnoses were identical to that of Director Tang, and even Imperial Physician Lu secretly nodded to Concubine Shen.
Master Zhu was extremely worried: "He was fine just now, how come he got poisoned in such a short time? What happened?"
After the imperial physician asked Eunuch Sun to confirm that Emperor Qinglong had only taken Qingxue Pills today, everyone's eyes turned to Song Muxue.
Ye Xuanrong stood in front of Song Muxue without thinking: "Impossible, Muxue would not do such a treasonous thing!"
Then he pointed at Song Yunxi and said, "It must be her. She was jealous of the emperor's generous reward to Mu Xue, so she used shameful means to poison the emperor!"
This time, not only other people, but also the Shen family including Song Muxue herself felt that Ye Xuanrong was a big pit, and it was a pit that specifically targeted themselves and the people around them.
Shen Zhikang rubbed his brows exhaustedly: "Sixth Prince, please be careful with your words!"
If Song Yunxi, who had never been close to the emperor, could poison him, how could Mu Muxue, who offered the Qingxue Pills to the emperor, clear herself of suspicion?
Noticing the incredulous looks people gave him as if he were an idiot, Ye Xuanrong knew that he had said the wrong thing in a moment of haste.
But since he had already said it, there was no way to take it back, so he could only bite the bullet and continue, "She knows medicine and can make medicine, so why is it impossible for her to poison my father from a distance?"
Song Yunxi was so angry that she almost laughed.
She secretly took out a pill from the space, and while Ye Xuanrong's mouth was opening and closing, she flicked it into his mouth with her simple fingers.
Her movements were neat and aboveboard, allowing everyone to see them.
Ye Xuanrong reacted promptly and wanted to spit it out immediately, but the medicine melted in his mouth and flowed down his throat, so he couldn't spit it out even if he wanted to.
Concubine Shen was anxious, and stared at Song Yunxi with red eyes: "What did you feed Xuanrong?"
"Of course it's poison!" Song Yunxi admitted frankly.
Shen Zhikang was furious: "Song Yunxi, you dare to murder the prince in public, do you know what crime you have committed?"
Song Yunxi shrugged indifferently: "Then I don't know, why don't I wait for Master Uncle to wake up and ask him?"
