Chapter 1163
In the eyes of those princes, Rong Jiu is just a country woman who can intervene in the government affairs only because of the favor of the Chu Emperor. Once the Chu Emperor dies, how can the courtiers allow her to continue to cause trouble for the court?As for Chu Li, even though he has the backing of Prince Yun's Mansion, he is not from the blood of Emperor Chu and is not enough to inherit the great lineage.

Rong Jiu said to Eunuch Zhao: "Eunuch Lao, please go outside the hall and tell those princes that His Majesty needs to rest, let them all go away."

Eunuch Zhao is an old man in the palace, seeing so much blood and rain, how can he not know the ambitions of the princes, he bowed in response, and then withdrew from the Zichen Palace.

Rong Jiu checked Emperor Chu's pulse every two hours and recorded the pulse in detail.

Because Emperor Chu was poisoned and fell into a coma, the entire palace became solemn and solemn, and everyone in the palace was in danger, especially the imperial dining room and palace attendants.

Knowing that King Ning had bribed the little eunuch in the imperial dining room, Shen Cheng and Concubine Shu directly brought the whole staff of the imperial dining room for interrogation.

Shen Cheng glanced around, and asked, "Is everyone here?"

Eunuch Gao, the manager of the imperial dining room, tremblingly said: "My lord, everyone is here except Xiao Zhuzi."

Shen Cheng's eyes froze, but only for a moment, then he was as cold as usual: "Where's Xiao Zhuzi?"

"Xiao Zhuzi suddenly had an emergency and died."

How could it be such a coincidence that Shen Cheng and Concubine Shu looked at each other, knowing that it was King Ning who came to silence him, and now that he is dead, there is no proof of death.

Shen Cheng said to Mu Feng: "Let the imperial physician order the corpse to be examined to see whether it is an emergency or someone poisoned it."

"Yes."

It was really unusual for a well-behaved person to suddenly fall ill and die. Eunuch Gao was sweating coldly on his forehead. He was afraid that Shen Cheng would find out that it was Xiao Zhuzi who murdered Emperor Chu, and the whole imperial dining room would be involved.

Eunuch Gao scolded Xiao Zhuzi secretly.

Mu Feng went to the Zichen Hall to look for the imperial physician order, Rong Jiu said: "The imperial physician order has returned to the imperial medical office, he just left, what happened?"

Mu Feng said: "A young eunuch in the imperial dining room died of a sudden illness. My lord has asked the imperial physician to order an autopsy."

"King Ning is quick to strike."

Rong Jiu said with a smile, since the Imperial Medical Order was not in the Zichen Hall, Mu Feng went to the Imperial Medical Office.

Eunuch Zhao seemed to have thousands of emotions surging in his heart, and he sighed quite sadly: "Among the many princes, the one His Majesty favors the most is His Highness King Ning, but he has done such a thing that is not as good as a beast, Mr. I really feel unworthy for His Majesty."

Rong Jiu turned his head to look at Emperor Chu, and slowly said in a low voice: "This is the sorrow of the royal family. Standing at the top of power, if you get too much, you are destined to lose the same thing. God is fair."

Eunuch Zhao sighed deeply again: "Now that everyone is dead, there is no evidence to punish King Ning."

"The crime he committed cannot be concealed from the world after death. He should pay the price for what he did."

"What is the princess' plan?"

"In the case of King Jin, my father spared him once. This time, even the emperor and I can't save him."

Eunuch Zhao also felt that King Ning deserved to die. Even if he wanted that position, he shouldn't have killed his father. It was so contrary to the principles of ethics that a hundred deaths would not be enough to atone for his sins.

Not long after, Shen Cheng and Concubine Shu came back, Prince Yun, Su Guogong, and Grand Tutor Wei also came together.

Rong Jiu raised his eyes to look at Shen Cheng: "How?"

Shen Cheng knew that she was asking about the autopsy, and said: "The imperial physician's order has been verified, and the person died of poisoning."

"Where's the imperial physician who treated Xiao Zhuzi?"

The person was poisoned to death, but it was said that he died suddenly due to an emergency. The imperial doctor must have been bribed by King Ning. Xiao Zhuzi is dead, so maybe we can start with him.
