The divine doctor's concubine emptied the palace and went into exile

Chapter 457 The True Appearance

Hearing her say this, a light flashed across Caner's eyes.

Being able to serve the young master means that you are half the master of the sect.

But she knew Concubine Xiao's character very well. If she showed extreme excitement at this moment, she would definitely bear a grudge against her. After using her, she would find a reason to get rid of her.

"My Lady, I am your Lady's maid and will always be. It is my honor to serve you and the Young Master. I will never have any other unreasonable thoughts. I just want to stay with you and accompany you for the rest of my life, and I will be satisfied."

Sure enough, after hearing her say this, the scrutiny in Concubine Xiao's eyes eased, and she said with satisfaction: "Instead of giving it to someone else, it is better to let the person I trust the most take this position. You are the most suitable candidate."

Can'er said nothing, but just lowered her head even more, looking extremely reluctant, and this was exactly what Concubine Xiao wanted.

A servant should behave like a servant. If you honor her, she should be grateful.

Shang Ruoyi followed behind Jun Zeqian. She looked at his heavy back and whispered, "Brother, is there anything on your mind?"

Jun Zeqian was immersed in his own thoughts and did not hear her words.

Shang Ruoyi's eyes flickered slightly.

I didn't expect that Concubine Xiao had such a great influence on my brother.

In fact, she heard their conversation clearly.

From the first time they met in the garden, Shang Ruoyi noticed that something was wrong with him.

The moment she saw Concubine Xiao, she clearly felt that his breathing was disordered for a moment and his body was a little tense.

But she didn't think much about it at that time, her attention was more focused on the man in gray robe.

When they met again today, she discovered that her brother's eyes would drift towards the inner room from time to time. To outsiders, it seemed like he was observing the emperor's physical condition. In fact, his eyes always fell on Concubine Xiao.

"Brother."

Only after calling him again did Jun Zeqian come back to his senses.

"what happened?"

"Brother and Concubine Xiao have known each other before?"

Jun Zeqian paused for a moment, then nodded: "We knew each other before she entered the palace."

Familiar.

There are probably not many people in the Western Regions who are worthy of the name "acquaintance" from his brother.

"How ripe is it?"

Jun Zeqian looked at her and said, "Why are you asking these questions?"

Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "Nothing, I'm just a little curious. Concubine Xiao knows a lot of people."

"how do I say this?"

“Nothing, I just didn’t expect her to look as holy as a lotus. In fact, tut tut tut.

Jun Zeqian frowned when he heard this: "Explain clearly."

"What's there to say? I'm afraid it will dirty your ears."

"Noble Concubine Xiao is the legitimate daughter of the Xiao family in the Western Regions. The Xiao family is very strict in family management, and the kind of thing you described will never happen."

"I haven't told you yet, brother, why are you so anxious?" Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "I saw it by chance." She touched the tip of her nose and said a little embarrassedly, "I'm sure you have heard about the theft in the palace."

Jun Zeqian looked at her suddenly: "Did you really do this?"

When Shang Ruoyi heard him say this, she knew that her brother had already suspected her, and nodded without disguising, "That's right, but did you know that Concubine Xiao's palace was robbed?"

Jun Zeqian shook his head.

"I also emptied her place." Shang Ruoyi whispered, "I heard and saw some things in her palace."

"what's up?"

"Have you ever seen the Heavenly Master mentioned by the Western Region Emperor?"

He groaned for a moment and whispered, "I have only seen his back, not his true face, but I know that the emperor has a heavenly master who is guiding him."

"Letting the Prince of Cheng attack Tianshun, seize the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and massacre the city, this series of events were planned by Concubine Xiao and this Heavenly Master, and the two of them have already slept on the same couch."

Jun Zeqian's pupils shrank slightly and his steps suddenly stopped.

Looking at her in disbelief: "You said..."

"It's all true." Shang Ruoyi said word by word: "If there is even a single lie, let me..."

Just as she was about to swear, Jun Zeqian interrupted her: "Don't talk nonsense. How can you make such an oath casually?"

"What's the matter? I have never lied. Even if I swear, I am not afraid."

Shang Ruoyi's words made Jun Zeqian's heart sink to the bottom.

how come?

How could it become like this?

Zhenzhen is such a kind person, how could she conspire with others and come up with such a vicious plan?

"And that so-called Heavenly Master is not a good guy at all. He stirs up wars between countries so that he can reap the benefits. I heard their conversation. They said they were the leader of some sect. That Heavenly Master was the young leader."

Hearing him say this, Jun Zeqian frowned even deeper and his expression looked extremely ugly.

"Brother." Shang Ruoyi stopped and whispered, "Do you think someone like her would be sincere?"

sincere?

Jun Zeqian smiled bitterly: "In this world, only sincerity is the most illusory and the most precious."

"If the emperor can't make it this time, as the emperor's favorite concubine, she should be buried alive with him. Do you think she will want to leave here? Or escape in a strange way?"

"You just took the emperor's pulse. How did it feel?"

Shang Ruoyi whispered, "Anger is just a small matter. What really caused him to fall into a coma was the poison in his body."

Jun Zeqian's heart sank.

"Poison? Or insect?"

"Poisonous Gu." Shang Ruoyi narrowed her eyes slightly: "People in Southern Xinjiang who are good at raising Gu can not only use Gu insects to control people's bodies, but also extract venom from the Gu insects." She heard from Old Ye that there was a man in Southern Xinjiang who was very good at raising Gu and had raised several Gu Kings.

The Gu King that he had obtained from the Queen before might have been raised by that person.

Although extracting venom from the Gu King is not as effective as directly poisoning it, it is not easy to be detected.

Unless there is a miracle doctor to diagnose the pulse, he will not find out that it is the poison that is causing the problem.

If the blood of the Gu King is dripped into his diet regularly, the person who is poisoned will obey the words of the person who poisoned him.

The reason why the Emperor of the Western Regions was extremely fond of Concubine Xiao was not only because she was young and beautiful, but more because she used poison to control his mind.

"The person who poisoned the emperor was Concubine Xiao?"

Shang Ruoyi whispered, "I'm not sure either." She was the one who found the Gu King from the Queen's Palace, but the person who made the Western Region Emperor obey her orders was Concubine Xiao.

However, both Concubine Xiao and the Queen mentioned the leader of the sect, so it seems that they belong to the same organization.

Perhaps the Queen helped Concubine Xiao control the Emperor. In any case, the poison was related to both of them.

Thinking of the last words Concubine Xiao said to him, he slowly clenched his fists.

On the way back, Jun Zeqian didn't say anything. Shang Ruoyi knew that he was thinking about something, so she didn't disturb him.
