A moment later, Yu Yunxi also came to the palace.

While the Emperor was smoothing the rabbit's fur, he said softly: "Here you go, sit down."

Only then did Yu Yunxi realize that there were two cups of hot tea on the table next to her.

It is impossible for a certain overlord to drink two cups of tea by himself.

So, this is for her?

Yu Yunxi raised her eyebrows, understanding in her heart.

As she had expected from the beginning, he didn't really want to punish her.

She wasn't pretentious, she quickly sat down on the chair next to her.

Nan Rui glanced at her with his peripheral vision, and then said in an unnatural tone: "Is there really something wrong with the tea?"

"It's not poisonous, it's just something that's harmful to the body. It takes a long time to take effect. It takes about half a year for an ordinary person to have an accident, but for an old man like you, he can probably die without even realizing it in a month."

Yu Yunxi picked up the tea cup and said casually.

She smelled the tea and raised her eyes slightly.

Fortunately, the old man believed her words, and the tea leaves had changed.

The Emperor's face turned dark when he heard Yu Yunxi directly address him as "old man".

She is so courageous, even her mother and concubine did not dare to be so arrogant towards him back then.

But he calmed down quickly...

After all, he is an old man.

Even though those people outside treated him respectfully, they might have scolded him even more harshly than Yu Yunxi behind his back.

the most important is……

In the past three months, and just now, what he did to Yun Xi was indeed easy to cause her to rebel.

"Princess, the Emperor has been drinking this tea for half a month, what should I do?"

Li Xu asked in a panic from the side.

Compared to his panic, a certain Supreme Emperor who was deeply poisoned seemed calm, as if the person who was about to be poisoned was not him.

It's true that the emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is.

"I have to feel my pulse first," Yu Yunxi said quietly.

"Your Majesty, please quickly ask the princess to take your pulse." Li Xu said with red eyes.

Nan Rui snorted lightly, but still stretched out his hand.

Yu Yunxi didn't waste any time and immediately went to check his pulse.

Her beautiful eyebrows frowned at first, and then relaxed.

"Princess, how is the situation of the Supreme Emperor?"

Seeing that Yu Yunxi didn't speak for a long time, Li Xu couldn't help but feel worried.

Yu Yunxi raised her eyes and glanced at him, but he was loyal.

"It seems that grandpa has already taken precautions. The symptoms of poisoning are not like those who drank poisonous tea for half a month." Yu Yunxi said softly.

Judging from his pulse, his body was indeed poisoned, but very slightly.

"I'm not a fool. If I were really so easy for others to scheme against me, how could I still be able to sit on the throne back then?" The Supreme Emperor sneered.

But soon his sharp eyes turned angry.

If he has any grudges in his life, it must be about Chang Ning.

To this day, he has not been able to find out the real culprit who murdered him, and he cannot exchange for Chang Ning's innocence.

Seeing his expression, Li Xu knew that he must have thought about Princess Changning again and became sad.

He quickly changed the topic: "Your Majesty, it turns out that you have already suspected it. But why didn't you find out the murderer? Moreover, the doctors from Mingming Tai Hospital come to check your pulse every day, why can't they tell? "

This was also what puzzled him.

Because the Emperor was getting older, he paid more attention to his health, and an imperial doctor would come to check his pulse every day.

But no imperial physician ever discovered the problem.

"Li Xu, you have been with me for so many years, and you should be able to think. Tell me, why didn't the imperial doctors find the problem?"

The Supreme Emperor raised his head and stared at Li Xu with faint eyes.

Li Xu was sweating coldly and did not dare to speak.

At this time, Yu Yunxi spoke up for him: "There are two reasons. First, the medical skills of the imperial doctors at the Tai Hospital were not superb, so they did not discover it. But obviously this reason does not make sense. People who can enter the Tai Hospital, Can you not even see this small problem? Now there is only one other reason left... Someone gave the imperial doctor an order to prevent them from telling the truth."

After she said those last words, all the palace people, including Li Xu, were trembling.

In the palace, there are not many people with such ability...

The Emperor's eyes flashed with overwhelming anger, and finally turned into calm.

Sure enough, people will change after sitting on that dragon chair.

Or maybe it means that he has never seen through his son.

He let out a breath, feeling exhausted all over, and his whole body seemed to be much older all of a sudden.

"Your temper is more flamboyant than your mother's concubine. But you are not yet fully fledged, so I can't protect you all the time." After a long time, he said these words quietly.

Hearing this, Yu Yunxi's hand holding the tea cup paused slightly, and complex emotions flashed in her eyes.

It seemed that her grandfather was actually trying to save her by forcing her to kneel outside today.

The situation in Xichu is extremely complicated, and her foundation here is still shallow.

In such a short period of time, she had offended so many ministers and princes, and made so many enemies. It was indeed easy for something to happen.

Especially when she got the military power he gave her, some people really couldn't sit still.

So he deliberately made things difficult for her today just to let those people know that he was not biased and that she was not a threat to them.

"I have been away from Kyoto for many years, and I still seem to be very capable, but this country has already changed hands, and it is inconvenient for me to interfere too much. If I continue to protect you, you will definitely die."

The Emperor's tone became more serious.

He took her back and deliberately ignored her for three months, but then gave her military power in front of others. He did this because he didn't want her to be wronged, but he didn't want her to be the target of public criticism.

Yu Yunxi pursed her red lips and said nothing.

Although she had already made a guess in her mind, when he said these words, her heart was deeply touched.

In fact, my grandfather still prefers her, right?

"Grandpa, do you... believe that it was not my mother-in-law who plotted to kill you back then?" She turned around and asked in a weird tone.

When the Supreme Emperor heard this, he sneered.

"Your mother-in-law was raised in front of me. I don't know what her character is?"

Listening to his slightly angry words, Yu Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

As long as he is willing to believe in his mother-in-law, that's fine.

"Do you know why I retired back then?" Suddenly, the Supreme Emperor asked back.

Yu Yunxi's eyelids twitched fiercely.

"Could it be because of my mother-in-law?" she asked tentatively.

Perhaps because some things had already been discussed, he didn't bother to hide them, so he nodded directly.

"It's ironic to say that I was clearly the emperor of Western Chu back then, but after I woke up, I couldn't find out the murderer who framed your mother and concubine. Therefore, I could only retreat and investigate the matter secretly. But more than 20 people Years have passed and the murderer has still not been found." The Supreme Emperor sneered again.

Sorry, it took me two days to update this time because I was busy with my thesis.
