Chapter 196 The wife who served as a scapegoat 4
Su Jiao wanted to shout out, but she couldn't tell her identity.
He could only let someone drink a glass of poisoned wine.
When Su Jiao was unconscious, she hated Emperor Chengping very much.
Concubine Su died, and soon someone reported the matter to Emperor Chengping.
He waved his hand and asked people to bury her properly.
When Su Jiao opened her eyes again, she found herself in a pitch-black environment.
She stretched out her hand and groped slowly, and soon found that she seemed to be in a coffin. She slapped the coffin in panic and shouted loudly.
"Is there anyone here? Please save me, save me..."
Su Jiao's voice became hoarse, and no one around responded to her.
She was so scared that she squatted inside, hugged herself and started crying.
He Yue couldn't help rolling her eyes when she heard her crying. This woman could really cry.
Su Jiao was tired of crying and started to bang on the coffin again.
The emperor thought she was not the real Su Jiao, so he buried her in the wasteland.
Her violent flapping sounds were noticed by people walking at night.
The man was originally sitting on the dry grass to rest, when he suddenly heard crying and the sound of banging on wood. He was so scared that he jumped up.
He thought he had encountered a ghost, and when he was about to run away, he heard a woman shouting for help.
He plucked up the courage to go to the grave and listened carefully, only to find that the sound came from inside.
He asked in a trembling voice: "Are you a human or a ghost?"
Su Jiao heard someone outside responding to her words, and she hurriedly shouted: "I am a human, I am a human, please save me quickly!"
The man felt relieved after hearing that. He started digging the soil and soon saw the coffin.
No matter how hard he tried, the coffin lid didn't budge.
He remembered his self-defense tools, he took them out and started to pry open the coffin lid. It took a lot of effort to pry open a crack in the coffin.
By the time he rescued Su Jiao, it was almost dawn.
Su Jiao stopped being pretentious at this time and worked with the man to pile the soil up again.
The man was also smart and did not ask Su Jiao why she was buried in the coffin.
He sent Su Jiao to the vicinity of the city gate, then disappeared with Su Jiao's burial objects.
Su Jiao arrived outside the city gate and did not dare to enter the city. She didn't know whether the emperor would kill her again, so she could only hide in the corner and live a miserable life.
When he was really hungry, he begged passers-by for food, but every time he begged for food, it was snatched away by others.
Finally, she was so hungry that she had no choice but to eat grass.
Emperor Chengping hadn't seen Pan Ge come to court in the past few days, so he sent the chief eunuch to check.
When the eunuch and his men arrived at the Pan Mansion, the housekeeper hurriedly welcomed them in.
He Yue also appeared in front of everyone with a haggard face.
"Mrs. Pan, what are you doing?" the eunuch asked curiously.
She was dressed in plain clothes and looked haggard, as if her husband had died.
He Yue took out a handkerchief and wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes, and said, "You don't know, the father and son didn't know what they quarreled about in the study that day."
"When I arrived, they were all seriously injured and are still unconscious. I'm afraid they will never be able to help Your Majesty again..."
The chief eunuch was shocked when he heard this. He took the men to Pan Ge's courtyard and saw the father and son lying unconscious on the bed.
It was seen that the hands of the Pan family father and son were cut off by the knife, and their heads were wrapped with thick gauze, with faint traces of blood.
After the eunuch looked at it, he said a few meaningless words to He Yue and left with his men.
After watching them leave, He Yue told the housekeeper beside him, "Throw them into the woodshed."
"Yes, ma'am." The housekeeper hurriedly had Pan Ge and his son carried back to the woodshed, and their clean clothes were changed.
When Emperor Chengping learned about Pan Ge's condition, he asked him to take good care of himself and soon replaced him as prime minister with another person.
When the news reached the Pan family, He Yue instructed the housekeeper, "Tell him the good news and make him happy."
The butler twitched his lips slightly and said respectfully, "Yes, ma'am."
God damn good news! Madam is afraid that the master will die slowly!
The housekeeper honestly passed the message to Pan Ge. For a man who had always wanted his family to stand out, hearing this news was like having his flesh cut by a knife. He spat out a mouthful of blood and lay on the ground twitching continuously...
When Pan Kui, who was half dead on the ground, heard the news, his chest heaved and blood kept gushing out of his mouth.
A few days later, the emperor came to see "Su Jiao" in the villa. Suddenly, he reached out and tore off the human skin mask on the man's face.
"Tell me, where is Jiaojiao?"
The secret guard sat on the stool, motionless.
"Your Majesty, someone pressed her acupuncture points."
Emperor Chengping waved his hand, and the leader of the secret guards stepped forward and pressed her acupoints.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was here when I woke up. I really don't know where Concubine Su has gone?" The secret guard was able to move, and he knelt on the ground to apologize.
Emperor Chengping had a gloomy expression on his face and immediately ordered his secret guards to go to the cemetery and take a look.
"Yes, sir." Someone immediately disappeared in front of the emperor.
The men arrived at the cemetery and opened the coffin, only to find it was empty.
They immediately reported the situation to Emperor Chengping. Thinking of the delicate and weak young woman, Emperor Chengping fainted on the ground.
The imperial physician was hurriedly dragged over by the eunuch. After taking the pulse, he said to the people in the room: "Your Majesty has a deadly poison in your body. This poison is very strong."
While several people were discussing how to cover up the matter, Emperor Chengping woke up again.
He waved his hands to indicate that he was fine. After taking the emperor's pulse, the imperial physician said in surprise that the poison in the emperor's body had disappeared.
After he put on his court robes, he walked into the hall and sat down.
"See Your Majesty, long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty..."
"Puff——!" What answered them was a mouthful of black blood from Emperor Chengping.
"His Majesty……"
All the ministers rushed over when they saw the fainted Emperor Taiping, each of them in a panic.
A new emperor appoints new ministers, and they don’t want Emperor Taiping to die.
But they were disappointed. The imperial physician came and told them that Emperor Chengping was severely poisoned and there was no cure.
After hearing this, the ministers in the hall began to talk among themselves, and it was as chaotic as a vegetable market.
Some people were quick-witted and spread the news as soon as they got it. Soon, someone led troops into the palace.
On the surface, it was to protect the emperor's safety, but everyone knew what was going on behind the scenes.
Soon, various accidents happened to Emperor Chengping's descendants, and Prince Ji also obtained the imperial edict of Emperor Chengping's succession.
When Prince Ji left Emperor Chengping's bedroom, Emperor Chengping on the bed had bloodshot eyes and his teeth were chattering.
He hated it! He hated the person who poisoned him, and he also hated his brother, who ignored their brotherly love and forced him to write the imperial edict to pass on the throne.
"Hate it?" He Yue quietly appeared in front of Emperor Chengping.
