【62】(1/2)
In the huge hall, Chu Xianxian could only hear a sharp cry louder than a louder one, "Father, Father..."
Chang Xi had the sensible eyes to shut up other palace ladies, and even he was standing next to the pillar to minimize his presence.
Chu Shanlin looked at the embarrassed woman on the ground and was a little afraid to recognize each other for a moment-
He was disheveled and his clothes were disheveled. His beautiful face was full of haggardness and fatigue. His eyes were red and swollen, and his eyes were filled with fear and dullness. He no longer saw the agility of the past, and his body was filled with an indescribable fishy smell.
Is this still his daughter who has always been pampered by like a pearl or a treasure?
"Silicon?"
Chu Shanlin frowned and called out nervously, "Why are you..."
"Father, my daughter didn't mean it. I was bewitched by a traitor and did such a thing."
Chu Xianxian crawled towards Chu Shanlin hard, and said excitedly, "You should plead with Your Majesty for your daughter, let Your Majesty forgive me this time.
I really can't stand those dead people anymore. If I stay there, I will go crazy."
Chu Shanlin was such a smart person, and suddenly realized that his daughter had committed an unforgivable sin.
He quickly looked at Yuan Xun, who was in the seat and bowed, "Your Majesty, I wonder what the little girl has done?"
Yuan Xun sat upright, slowly turning the ring of his finger, and said calmly about Yingchun Palace.
Finally, he raised his head, his blue-gray eyes became gloomy, and emphasized, "As far as I know, your daughter has prepared the aphrodisiac for a long time."
As soon as the words were finished, Chu Xianxian on the ground couldn't help but tremble.
He knew, he knew everything.
Chu Shanlin's facial muscles also twitched slightly and pinched his fingers a little.
He had a calm old face and stared at Chu Xianxian with a heavy gaze, as if he was questioning, as if he was angry, as if he was making choices.
Facing his father's gaze, Chu Xianxian lowered her head and did not dare to look at him-
This acetica aphrodisiac was indeed prepared very early. When she set out to the palace last summer, she secretly asked Mrs. Chu to find her.
At first, her idea was very simple. She just thought that when His Majesty came to her palace again, she would use a little medicine to keep His Majesty and get favored no matter what.
But later, seeing that His Majesty was always lingering with Shen Danruo, she changed her mind and prepared to use this medicine to deal with Shen Danruo.
Her plan was that when the guards and Shen Dan were incompatible, she would lead His Majesty to capture the evildoer.
No matter how much a man loves a woman, he will definitely not be able to bear this kind of betrayal, not to mention that he is the emperor, he will definitely be even more intolerable.
As long as this plan is successful, His Majesty will definitely abandon Shen Danruo and even kill people to silence him...
But before she could make arrangements, the matter of Concubine Zhao had happened, so she had to stop for the time being.
The medicine has been left in her hands.
It was not until that day when she saw Shen Siwan, that she was thinking again, preparing to completely drag the Shen family into the water, and let Shen Danruo taste the feeling of being betrayed by her sisters.
But she never expected that things would go out of control until now.
When Chu Shanlin saw Chu Xianxian's reaction, he quickly realized his heart. He scolded him with hatred and anger, "How could you do such a traitorous thing!"
Chu Xianxian was shaking by his roar and cried, "I was wrong, I really knew I was wrong, I never dared to do it again."
She turned to Yuan Xun again and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, just spare me this time, I really know my mistake."
She ate very hard, making a thump, and her smooth forehead soon bleeded.
Yuan Xun never looked at her for a long time, but only looked at Chu Shanlin with a expressionless face and said indifferently, "Chao Xiang, what do you think I should deal with it?"
Chu Shanlin looked at the deep eyes of the Emperor, and felt that something weighed thousands of pounds on his shoulders could not be pressed straight.
After pondering for a moment, he whispered, "Your Majesty, it's all my fault that I didn't teach my little daughter well.
But the little girl... She is still young and has just entered the palace. Perhaps she was bewitched by the evil people... I beg Your Majesty to give her a favor, forgive her for one life, whether she is demoted to the cold palace, or send her to the ancestral temple to become a monk and practice... As for other punishments, the old minister is willing to bear it with all his strength, and I also ask Your Majesty to give her kindness."
Yuan Xun waited patiently for him to finish speaking before he spoke softly, "Is it still young?"
Chu Shanlin's scalp tingled, "..."
While thinking about how to respond, a fearful voice came from the head, "What if she didn't put aphrodisiac this time, but a poison that killed people's lives?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Shanlin was shocked, his knees hit the cold ground, crawling tremblingly, begging with an old voice, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
Chu Xianxian was also stunned. Why... why did it become so serious?
She looked at her father kneeling beside her, then looked up at her head, and explained in panic, "Your Majesty, I have never thought of harming you. Even if you borrow a hundred courage from me, I don't dare to do so!"
Yuan Xun snorted and said, “Is that so?
Your Chu family has never thought about this before?"
These words rang over the heads of the father and daughter of the Chu family like thunder.
Chu Xianxian was shocked. What does Your Majesty mean?
Chu Shanlin suddenly felt a sudden sank and said earnestly, "Your Majesty, your words are really a slaughter of the old minister. The old minister is devoted to the great throne and has never had any thoughts that should not have. Please give your master a clear understanding."
His head was lowered, and he could not see the emperor's expression clearly, but he could feel the deep and cold gaze like a poisonous snake spitting out a red letter, hovering over his head and sweeping.
After a while, the superior said, "Your Chu family always wants to give me an explanation."
After saying that, he raised his head slightly and signaled Chang Xi on one side.
Chang Xi knew it and soon walked up with a tray.
On the wooden tray were two glasses of wine.
Yuan Xun lay back leisurely, watching the show and playing, "These two glasses of wine are placed in the white porcelain wine glasses, and the celadon wine glass is the ordinary Fenjiu.
Let’s choose between you father and daughter. Today, the Chu family is always going to die..."
Chu Shanlin and Chu Xianxian were both stunned, and then their eyes were fixed on the two wine glasses.
One green, one white.
A lifetime, a death.
In the blink of an eye, it became a conflict within their Chu family.
Chu Shanlin came to his senses first, his slightly cloudy eyes moved slightly, and his gaze slowly turned to Chu Xianxian's face.
This is his daughter, the pearl that has been held in her palm since she was a child.
As a father, he should have picked up the glass of poisoned wine without hesitation...
But.
This daughter entered the palace and made such a big mistake. Even if she was alive, what could she do?
Zuo was just a confused and lived his life without hope, and had no hope.
And he is the backbone of the Chu family, and he still has to carry the huge Chu Mansion. Even if His Majesty alienates him and guards against him because of this, he will be able to retire and return home and stay away from the capital...
The Chu family cannot live without itself. Their two sons are not good at it, and their grandchildren are still young. If they leave, the Chu family will definitely fail.
Yes, I can't die! He still has such a heavy responsibility.
Chu Shanlin had just come back to his senses, looked at Chu Xianxian with tears in his eyes, and said even more, "Xianxian, my father has always been proud of you... You are the father's most outstanding and proudest child... It's a pity, it's a pity that you are not a man.
If you are a son, your father can drink this poisonous wine and leave with peace of mind... But you know that your two brothers are stupid and dumb, and they are all unscrupulous things. If your father leaves, what should we do if our family leaves?
The Chu family cannot be defeated like this."
He said sensational words, but Chu Xianxian's eyes were filled with despair.
That kind of despair seemed to push her into the ice river in the middle of winter, the biting cold made her blood frozen.
The father she respected since childhood, and the father she admired since childhood, actually... chose to let her die.
He also said, it’s a pity that she is not a man?
"Hahahahahaha..." Chu Xianxian suddenly burst into laughter, as if she was crazy, and she burst into tears while laughing.
In the quiet and empty hall, her strange and crazy smile echoed.
I don’t know how long she had laughed, but she calmed down and looked at Chang Xi, “Let go of my hand.”
Changxi paused, raised his eyes and asked Yuan Xun for instructions, and Yuan Xun nodded slightly.
After his hands were untied, Chu Xianxian took the cup of white porcelain cup with a crane red top and smiled with tears in his eyes, "Father, you raise your glass too, just give your daughter a ride."
“Hey.”
Chu Shanlin felt ache in his heart, raised his sleeves and wiped his tears, and picked up the celadon cup with his hands trembling slightly.
He wanted to say something, but his throat was pressed by a heavy and complicated feeling, and he couldn't say a word.
Chu Xianxian pulled the corner of her mouth and put the wine glass on her lips, and looked at the cold and cold man on her seat.
He was really cruel. He seemed to give her a way out, but he sent her to a more desperate dead end.
If her father chose that glass of poisonous wine and died in front of her like this, she would be shrouded in this shadow for the rest of her life and would be condemned by her conscience forever.
If her father did not choose poisoned wine, she would face death in the pain of being abandoned and betrayed by her close relatives.
Killing someone to kill your heart.
