Chapter 915: The Former Empress Didn’t Abandon You!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ren Chao?!
Yun Chuhuai, who was sitting at the banquet, originally had a calm expression as a bystander.
The moment he heard this name, he couldn’t help but frown.
A thin and tall figure gradually appeared at the entrance of Taiqing Palace.
It was really the spy he had arranged previously, Ren Chao!
When did he become Princess Yaoguang’s man?
Didn’t Ren Chao almost get killed by Princess Yaoguang previously?!
Ren Chao was still supporting an old figure.
This old woman’s gaze was empty. When she walked, she used her walking stick to scout the way first.
Everyone could tell at a glance that this was a blind person.
Many officials didn’t understand who this person was.
Only Gu Yihan narrowed his eyes and sized up the person. Then, with a stunned expression, he suddenly stood up.
Gu Nuo’er slid down from his knees and landed steadily on the ground.
Gu Yihan stared fixedly at the person until Luzhu knelt. “This commoner greets Your Majesty…”
Before she could finish speaking, Gu Yihan gritted his teeth and asked, “Luzhu, it’s you.”
Of course he remembered this palace maid.
Back then, she was one of his mother’s trusted aides.
However, after Madam Chi’s accident, this palace maid immediately married a guard and left the palace without a trace.
Now, she actually appeared in front of him again.
When Grand Consort Yu saw Luzhu, she was also shocked.
She knew very well what agreement she had with Luying back then.
As for Luzhu and Luying, they were said to be two inseparable sisters by Empress Chi’s side back then.
Gu Nuo’er’s voice was soft. “Nanny Luzhu, tell my father exactly what you told me.”
“Yes.” Luzhu seemed to have done a lot of mental preparation.
When she spoke again, she didn’t tremble as much as before.
Her voice was calm as she recounted everything that had happened back then.
When she talked about how she saw Luying being instructed by Grand Consort Yu to drug the emperor and frame the former Empress…
In the end, Gu Yihan couldn’t hold back his anger. He s.n.a.t.c.hed the wine cup from the table and threw it to the ground.
With a loud bang, a corner of the bronze wine cup was broken!
Everyone present was uneasy and kept quiet out of fear.
Gu Yihan was like an enraged lion. He stared fixedly at Luzhu. “Is what you said true?”
“This commoner is willing to swear on my life. Back then, because this commoner was afraid that Grand Consort Yu, who was loved by the late emperor, would take revenge, this commoner chose to keep quiet.”
“However, it caused the late empress to lose her life in the cold palace. Under the little princess’s guidance, this commoner knows that this matter can’t be hidden anymore. It should be made public and Your Majesty should know that the late empress didn’t abandon you back then!”
Gu Yihan’s eyes were red and bloodshot. He was so angry that his entire body trembled slightly.
His clenched fists creaked.
His mother didn’t harm him, nor did she try to use him to ask for the emperor’s favor.
Gu Yihan had already guessed this long ago.
However, when he really heard Luzhu say it now, he still couldn’t control his emotions.
When he was young, he had curled up in the cold palace for many days and nights.
He wondered what he had done wrong for his mother to be so heartless as to drug him.
Not long after his mother pa.s.sed away, he began to miss the happy times they had spent together.
On the one hand, Gu Yihan hated himself for being useless and weak.
He ordered himself not to think about the late empress and told himself again and again that she was the one who didn’t want him first.
However, he couldn’t help but miss his mother’s embrace.
It turned out that all of this had something to do with Grand Consort Yu.
Gu Yihan looked at Grand Consort Yu, who hurriedly kowtowed. She knew that Luzhu was an important witness, so her excuses were useless.
Grand Consort Yu kowtowed until her head was bleeding, but she didn’t stop.
Gu Yihan’s eyes were red. After a long time, he asked, “Back then, you were the one who drugged me with Arisaema heterophyllum.”
“Men!” He suddenly waved his sleeve with a sharp expression. “Stuff the herb, Arisaema heterophyllum, into Grand Consort Yu’s mouth ruthlessly.. Mix it with boiling water and continue to stuff her with it until she dies!”
