Chapter 149 Mission 014
"You are talking nonsense!" Su Youhao struggled to get up from the bed, but fell to the ground because he could not see. Xiao Yu looked down at him condescendingly. The little eunuch beside him did not dare to help Su Youhao under his power. .
There was a hint of sarcasm in Xiao Yu's tone: "What can you do if you don't believe it? Now it is a fact that you have been abandoned, and it is also a fact that you have been deposed as the prince. It won't be long before my father will issue a decree to make you a prince. , be mentally prepared.”
Su Youhao was established as the prince not long after he was born. Even though he was weak, he was so loved. How could he accept the fact that his father, the queen, and his mother, who had always loved him, gave up on him? He murmured in disbelief: "I don't believe it... I'm going to ask my father... I don't believe it..."
He struggled to get up from the ground and stumbled outside.
Xiao Yu stood there and watched indifferently as Su Youhao stumbled towards him, and then bumped into him. He used Guang Xiu's cover up to quickly place a small bottle on Su Youhao while no one was paying attention. He took a sniff under his nose, and the faint scent of sandalwood did not arouse suspicion, because the clothes he wore today were scented with sandalwood.
But what Xiao Yu sniffed for Su Youhao was the antidote. He poisoned Su Youhao in order to fulfill his wishful mission as the male supporting actor, but he did not intend to keep Su Youhao blind. He only planned to detoxify Su Youhao after he regained his identity as the eldest son of the original owner and established himself in the palace.
He came to see Su Youhao today not to ridicule the male protagonist, but to detoxify him.
The antidote will not take effect immediately. Su Youhao is still blind. Xiao Yu supports him and his voice is softer: "You are inconvenient now, so don't be brave. Just lie back and drink the medicine." His voice was gentle. He has learned a lot but still carries the majesty of being the eldest brother.
Su Youhao was stunned for a moment, and when he was about to say something, a woman's panicked voice suddenly came from the door: "What did you do to Hao'er?!"
Xiao Yu looked up and saw a graceful woman in gorgeous palace clothes walking in, surrounded by more than a dozen palace maids. She was looking at Su Youhao in his arms with a frown, full of worry. color.
It was his queen who had never had a chance to see anyone.
Xiao Yu said in an indifferent voice: "Mother, my second brother is sick. Please lower your voice so as not to scare my second brother."
The queen came over and scolded the maid next to her: "What are you doing standing still? Didn't you see His Highness the Prince fell to the ground? Why don't you help His Highness the Prince to the bed and lie down!"
She deliberately called Su Youhao 'His Royal Highness the Crown Prince', which was clearly a warning to Xiao Yu, indicating that she was not willing to acknowledge his identity as the Crown Prince at all.
Although the maids around the Queen also felt that it was inappropriate for the Queen to call the Second Highness the Crown Prince, as the Queen's confidants, they could only obey the Queen's orders and went over to help Su Youhao to the bed.
Xiao Yu did not stop him. He slowly turned sideways to look at the queen, showed an indifferent smile, and lowered his voice and said: "It doesn't matter if the queen does not recognize Gu's status as the crown prince. She can even ask the father to abolish Gu's crown prince status." . Anyway, the father does not only have a healthy son like Gu, but also gives the father a chance to bring Gu's poor third brother back to the palace."
The queen originally thought Xiao Yu was quite sensible when she heard the first half of Xiao Yu's words. She was about to force Su Chenghao to give up the position of prince to Su Youhao as the queen mother. However, when she heard the second half of Xiao Yu's words, her expression suddenly changed: "What did you say?!"
****
The relationship between the emperor and the empress was really complicated.
It may be said that the emperor truly loved the queen, but the education the emperor received since childhood destined that the queen would not be the only one in the harem. There were also many concubines in the harem, including pregnant concubines.
But what if the emperor didn't really love the queen? But the queen became jealous and secretly murdered those pregnant concubines because of her love. The emperor knew it, but he always indulged her. More than ten years ago, he could even rely on the queen for important matters related to the country and the country, such as establishing a prince. cried and changed his mind.
Xiao Yu looked at the queen's beautiful face that was distorted by suspicion, smiled slightly, and said: "Those unborn fetuses are just that, but Concubine Shu's child was already born. Do you think the father would Do you want to watch you kill a prince who has already been born? "
Concubine Shu was a concubine who had been pregnant with dragon fetuses. It happened that she was pregnant after the queen gave birth to twins. The queen was in confinement due to childbirth and was worried about Su Youhao's weak body, so she could not harm her in time. She had to wait until she was about to give birth to her first child before planning to kill Concubine Shu.
As a result, although Concubine Shu died in childbirth, the baby was born well. However, this child is quite pitiful. He was ignored by his biological father, killed easily by his aunt, and disappeared into this cannibal palace without even making a splash.
Xiao Yu knew this incident very well, so he used this to come up with a plan to sow discord between the queen and the emperor, and took this opportunity to make the queen suspicious.
The empress was already jealous because the emperor occasionally favored other concubines. The emperor sometimes warned her not to attack the dragon heir because he had few heirs. In addition, the emperor now changed the candidate for the prince without consulting her. , which reduced the queen's trust in the emperor to the lowest level.
Based on all the above, the queen was provoked by Xiao Yu and thought along Xiao Yu's train of thought.
As she recalled this, she felt that her assassination of Concubine Shu and her son seemed to be too smooth. The emperor had warned her for the sake of those little bitches' children. How could he let her kill the mother and son so easily? There must be something wrong behind it! Maybe Concubine Shu's son is not dead, and is secretly raised by the emperor...
The queen's mind was opened and she couldn't close it.
The fact was that the emperor couldn't control his lower body and favored other women, and he felt sorry for his beloved queen, so he turned a blind eye to the queen's behavior of assassinating other concubines. His indulgence was suspected by the queen as a conspiracy.
The queen was not a very smart woman. She was spoiled too much by the emperor, so it was easy for Xiao Ying to provoke her.
The queen, who was almost defenseless and was led into a ditch by Xiao Ying, immediately gave up the idea of persuading the emperor to abolish Su Chenghao's position as the crown prince. Although she favored the second son, it did not mean that she would be willing to give up the position of the crown prince to another woman's son for this favoritism. After all, no matter how much she disliked Su Chenghao, he was still her own son.
Although the queen gave up the idea of abolishing the crown prince, she still disliked Xiao Ying, especially because Xiao Ying's face looked exactly like Su Youhao at this time, but Su Youhao was lying weakly on the bed, while he stood in front of her with a rosy face and wearing gorgeous clothes, which was even more annoying.
******
The Queen snorted at Xiao Ying and said, "What do you want to do in the East Palace today?"
Xiao Ying didn't mind the Queen's attitude at all, and smiled respectfully: "To answer your mother, I came to visit my second brother."
The Queen walked to Su Youhao's bed: "You don't need to come to visit! Now that Hao'er is sick, you are the happiest, right?"
Xiao Ying said lightly: "You are joking, mother... By the way, mother, my father just named his son Su Chenghao today, so next time, don't call your son Hao'er, otherwise the sons will not be able to tell who you are calling."
The meaning of the word "Hao" is too obvious, and "Chenghao" is obviously much better than the name "Youhao".
Not only did Su Youhao's face change, but even the queen's face changed: "How can you be called by this name? Get out of here!"
At this time, the queen felt extremely aggrieved. Her son Su Youhao, whom she cared about so much, ended up like this, and the culprit was still here showing off his power, but she couldn't do anything to him!
Su Youhao tilted his head, 'looked' at Xiao Ying, and said weakly: "Mother, don't say that about my elder brother, it's not easy for him either..."
In fact, Su Youhao has complained about the injustice of heaven for his health for so many years, and he is also glad that he is the only son of his father, otherwise he would never be able to inherit the queen with this physical condition. Then he became blind, and he was always afraid that his father would be disappointed in him. Later, a brother appeared. He really didn't want this brother to appear, not only because the position of the prince was taken away, but also because he was jealous of the healthy body of this brother.
However, when he heard his elder brother say that he was not named by his father until today, he felt that his jealousy and resentment were too ridiculous. Compared with his elder brother, what was the grievance he suffered? Is it as terrible as living in darkness without even a name?
So Su Youhao spoke for Xiao Yan in front of the queen.
This made Xiao Yan look at him in surprise. How could Su Youhao's attitude towards him after learning of his existence be hidden from him with a strong soul? So Xiao Yan thought that the male protagonist in the book, who was called a gentle and sickly nobleman, was not as gentle and cheerful as he appeared to be, and thought he was a hypocrite.
But at this moment, Su Youhao spoke well of him in front of the queen. Whether there was sincerity in his words, how could he not see it?
So Xiao Yan was very surprised and curious. He suddenly realized that the male protagonist Su Youhao might not be as one-sided and thin as he imagined.
There is evil in people's hearts, and naturally there is also goodness. No matter what, there are two sides. Perhaps he shouldn't sentence Su Youhao because of a momentary prejudice.
Xiao Yan took a deep look at Su Youhao, who did not show any negative emotions at this time, and then turned and left. He felt that he needed to think more about the follow-up plan.
