Gu Zhao was at the scene and watched it from beginning to end. She saw Qin Youjin's emotional changes, from excitement and ecstasy to horror and fear.

More importantly, Gu Zhao saw the interaction between Lu Qi and Qin Youjin, and some of his previous doubts were answered.

It seems that the two of them planned this together, but they were plotted again.

"Look at those two cranes and find out who is raising them. Anyone related to this matter will be imprisoned and await interrogation." Gu Zhao immediately gave the order, and the little cranes looked solemn.

Take the order and leave.

The imperial doctors rushed forward and quickly revived Emperor Shouzheng.

Emperor Shouzheng was lying on the dragon bed, looking much older.

He was in his sixties, which was already an advanced age in this era. Today, he was so happy and angry that he suffered a strong physical and mental shock, and he vomited blood and fainted on the spot.

After regaining consciousness, Emperor Shouzheng still had the angry scene in his mind - the two cranes that originally had auspicious meanings fell to the ground one after another, dying.

Doesn't this imply that he is not going to die soon?

"His heart can be punished! His heart can be punished!" Emperor Shouzheng gripped the quilt on his body angrily, "Where is that scoundrel? Tell him to come over!"

The prince stayed by his side and hurriedly came forward to persuade him, "Father, please don't get angry. The imperial doctor said that you should be calm and take care of the dragon's body."

Emperor Shouzheng stretched out his hand, and the two eunuchs carefully helped him up. The prince took the soft pillow from the maid's hand and put it on his back with his own hands.

Just by doing this, Emperor Shouzheng's breathing became obviously much heavier.

Emperor Shouzheng also felt that his body was heavy. It seemed that the consequences of this fainting were very serious.

This made him even more angry, and his voice became a little louder, "What? What I said didn't work?"

Who dares to answer these words? The whole hall immediately fell to their knees. The little eunuch retreated outside the hall and trotted towards the outside.

Not long after, the trembling Qin Youjin followed the young eunuch to the palace.

Before he came to the dragon bed, he knelt down on the ground with a plop and burst into tears, "Father, your dragon body is fine, I will..."

"Shut up!" Emperor Shouzheng shouted with all his strength and pointed at Qin Youjin with a trembling finger, "You evil son, are you disappointed to see that I am not dead?"

Qin Youjin was so frightened that he was paralyzed, lying on the ground unable to raise his head, "How could I have such an idea? Father, you are wronged!"

Emperor Shouzheng also knew that even if he was angered to death, this insignificant son would not be able to inherit the throne.

But this does not rule out that he took action for a certain prince behind him in exchange for the glory and wealth of the new king after he ascended the throne.

In just a short moment, Emperor Shouzheng had already suspected all his grown-up sons, including the prince who had been watching with concern.

Although the prince is his most valued son, which prince doesn't want to ascend the throne as soon as possible?

Emperor Shouzheng knew very well that the royal family had no family ties, but when he realized that his sons wanted him dead, he was still hurt and angry.

"Tell me, what's your plot?" Emperor Shouzheng said with murderous intent in his teeth, "If I die, what will you gain?"

Qin Youjin's forehead banged against the gold tile floor, his whole body was shaking, and he could no longer remember his dignity as an emperor.

His mind was filled with the scene of the crane falling to the ground just now. He couldn't think of why this happened.

"Father, I really have never done this! Although I am stupid, I also know that filial piety to parents is the foundation of human beings. How could I do such a heartbreaking thing?"

Emperor Shouzheng still wanted to scold him, but the heavy feeling in his chest made it difficult for him to breathe, and he had no energy to speak loudly.

He had no choice but to raise his hand slightly, signaling the prince to continue asking for him.

The prince saluted and walked up to Qin Youjin with a heavy expression on his face, "Old Shi, tell yourself, what is going on? I think that no matter how incompetent you are, you should not do such an inhumane act."

Qin Youjin got the prince's understanding, and tears burst out of his eyes instantly, "Your Highness, I, I just want to make my father happy..."

The prince nodded. Both father and son were not stupid. When they saw the white crane dancing, they could guess that someone was behind the scenes. A prince like Qin Youjin, who had not been seen for thousands of years, wanted to find an opportunity to show his face in front of the emperor and get a reward. It was also

normal.

"I didn't know what would happen to those two cranes." Qin Youjin lowered his head, mentally scolding Lu Qi, who was responsible for this matter.

I really don’t know how he became the left prime minister in the first place. He can’t even handle such a small thing!

Now I am really going to be killed by him!

"This is all the responsibility of Lu Qi, the chief minister of my house." Qin Youjin gritted his teeth. Since Lu Qi couldn't even handle this kind of thing, don't blame him for recruiting Lu Qi.

The prince looked down coldly and ordered, "Someone, go and bring Lu Qi, the chief historian of Xinyang County Prince's Palace."

The young eunuch in charge of delivering the message came back shortly after running out and reported, "Your Majesty, Mr. Gu from the He Control Division has brought Lu Qi and others outside the door to wait for the summons."

Emperor Shouzheng on the bed raised his eyebrows when he heard the name, "Gu Zhao? Announce them to come in."

Gu Zhao walked into the hall alone, saluted Emperor Shouzheng and the Crown Prince one after another, and then said, "Your Majesty, I have detained everyone related to these two cranes. Please tell me how to deal with them."

Emperor Shouzheng nodded. It seemed that Gu Zhao had already taken action as soon as something happened.

"Everyone is detained?"

Gu Zhao bowed and replied, "Yes, from Shi Lu Qi, the head of the Prince's Palace of Xinyang County, to the boy responsible for feeding the crane, the servants who usually tame the crane, and the little eunuch of the palace who just showed the direction to the crane at the gate of Bieyuan, all of them are
