Chapter 1749
Chapter 1749
At this time, Lu Sheng had already walked out. He looked at the big white light circle in his mind, and suddenly said: "444, help me locate the Empress Dowager's bedroom, I want to go and have a look."
The palace is too big, he was afraid of getting lost, so he simply asked 444 to navigate.
[Okay, Da Da, locate now! 】
Lu Sheng went back to the dormitory and changed into darker-colored clothes that made it easier to move around, and went directly to the empress dowager's dormitory from the darkness.
He always felt that the sudden poisoning of the Queen Mother was not that simple. Why did the two people who had nothing to do with each other before do it now?
Could it be that Lu Jiangyue was imprisoned in the Punishment Department?
If it is because of this, then the timing is right!
"As a member of the Qiang people, I couldn't have become an official at all. It was the late emperor who accepted me and trusted me unconditionally. I want to return this kindness to the late emperor! As for Xiao Mo, I just want to Save some blood for the Xiao family, Xiao Su spent his whole life as a soldier, and gave everything for Hanzhong, he shouldn't end up like this!"
Things have come to this point today, the only thing he can do is to stick to his original decision and help the Xiao family keep this bloodline!
So it turned out that the late emperor was afraid of Xiao Su?
Master of merit...
Lu Jiangyue's voice sounded very distressed. On the one hand, it was the late emperor's will, and on the other hand, it was his best confidant. He had struggled for too long.
But with loyalty and righteousness, he still made the choice, but in the end because of uneasy conscience, he secretly helped Xiao Mo escape.
Originally, he thought that the people he sent would tie up Xiao Mo and take him out of the capital, the farther the better, but he didn't expect that Xiao Mo would injure those people and escape back!
"Teacher, no one from the Xiao family can stay! Haven't you ever heard a saying, Tai Tu, if you cut the weeds and don't get rid of the roots, you will be born again when the spring breeze blows! The former emperor said that no one from the Xiao family can stay. Since you have chosen to be loyal to Mr. Your Majesty, following the late Emperor's will, you shouldn't be charged with such a crime now!"
"Come on!"
The Queen Mother suddenly turned around and said something to the outside, and Lu Sheng saw the maid who had followed the Queen Mother into the Punishment Department hurried over with a cup in her hand.
This coincided with Lu Sheng's initial prediction, but at the beginning he thought that the one who was afraid of Xiao Su was the newly enthroned Mu Yunqing, but he didn't expect that the one who really wanted to kill Xiao Su was the former emperor who had passed away.
What a big turn!
But there is still one thing he can't figure out. The Queen Mother knows everything, so why did she ask someone to instigate Nanny Li to poison her, and now she deliberately ran to Lu Jiangyue, pretending to be righteous, Let him come up with the will of the first emperor to clear himself of his crimes? !
"Empress Dowager, the offender can die, but I implore the Empress Dowager to spare Xiao Mo's life!"
"Teacher, why are you still obsessed with obsession now? No one from the Xiao family can stay! The king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die! This is the last wish of the late emperor. If the Taifu doesn't fulfill it, the Ai family will do it for you." Don't worry, after drinking this glass of wine, the Ai family will handle everything after that!"
The Empress Dowager's mind has been decided, Lu Jiangyue looked at her, was silent for a while, and finally reached out to take the glass of poisoned wine handed over by the maid.
There is clearly something in the glass, it may be wine...
Lu Sheng wanted to sneak into the Empress Dowager's bedroom at first, but halfway through, 444 told him that the Empress Dowager had gone to the Punishment Department, and he followed all the way.
Seeing this situation, he didn't need to guess, he knew that the queen mother was planning to poison Lu Jiangyue to death together?
Fortunately, it came in time.
With a sullen face, he walked into the cell, his cold gaze fell on the glass of poisoned wine in Lu Jiangyue's hand, and his voice was lower than before.
"Lu Jiangyue, before Gu gave you permission to die, you just treated him honestly! Guzi will handle the matters of the Xiao family!"
Just when he raised his head and was about to drink it, and Lu Sheng was about to dedicate himself to saving people, a series of eager footsteps sounded at the door of the cell, followed by Mu Yunqing's cold voice.
"Mother, you shouldn't be here!"
Mu Yunqing had sent secret guards to keep an eye on the Punishment Department before, and he got the news almost as soon as the Queen Mother came.
"The sinful minister framed Zhongliang, and there is more than one death to spare. Please let your majesty do it!"
Mu Yunqing's face was sullen, and the gloom in his eyes almost dripped water. He looked down at the person kneeling in front of him, and said angrily, "Lu Jiangyue, are you so selfish? Have you ever thought about the fact that you have framed Zhongliang on your back?" Fame, what about Qiang people, Shenger, and your entire Taifu Mansion? Do you want to implicate them to be buried with you?"
When Lu Jiangyue heard this, his body froze suddenly. He naturally thought of it, but now this is the only way to preserve the blood of the Xiao family.
"His Majesty……"
Lu Jiangyue saw Mu Yunqing walking into the cell, and when he heard what he said, his heart skipped a beat.
He bent his knees and knelt on the ground, still holding the glass of poisoned wine in his hand.
"Since this matter is the late emperor's will, I will find a way to handle it properly. This country is already an isolated country, and I have the confidence to defend it by myself! I am not afraid of any great achievements! I will keep the blood of the Xiao family, As for you, Lu Jiangyue, resign!"
Mu Yunqing doesn't need a grand tutor who puts the late emperor's will above his words!
Lu Jiangyue stared at the poisoned wine spilled on the ground, his face was full of depression, and he couldn't say a word.
He has already done something wrong, so he can't do it again and again!
Lu Jiangyue's hand holding the wine glass tightened suddenly, and he looked up as if he wanted to drink the poisoned wine in one gulp.
Hearing a "clang", the wine glass in his hand was hit hard by something, and fell to the ground all of a sudden, shattered into several pieces of porcelain.
Even if the emperor in front of him calls himself a "children" and is respectful to her on the surface, but she is not her own son after all, she has to be scruples, and it will make no one look good if she tears her face!
With a gloomy face on her face, the queen mother walked out, followed by two guards who were the escorts arranged by Mu Yunqing.
Even if she left by herself, Mu Yunqing didn't trust her at all!
Mu Yunqing glanced at him, and then turned his gaze to the queen mother, "Mother, you shouldn't meddle in these matters, I will handle it myself! Come, my mother is not feeling well, send her back to the palace!"
The Empress Dowager's expression changed slightly following his words. Although the emperor in front of him didn't say anything, she knew that the phrase "send her back to the palace" meant that she was about to change.
A cold look flashed across her eyes, and she was about to speak, but met Mu Yunqing's deep black eyes, and looked at the chill in his eyes, she frowned, but didn't say anything after all.
"Lu Jiangyue, Gu's words have been made very clear, you will resign tomorrow morning!"
After Mu Yunqing finished speaking coldly, he turned around and left the cell without even looking at him again.
