Chapter 425: A Dead End
Neither Yin Chunqiu nor the eldest prince expected that the king would care so much about Xiao Wuji's words.
However, they don’t have the energy to go against Xiao Wuji now, and they just want to save their lives.
"Your Majesty, you're unfair!"
"You want to make the eldest prince the crown prince, but you said it yourself. At that time, the eunuch in the palace also heard it."
"It was you who ordered the eunuch who was in charge of sealing the eunuch. Otherwise, the minister would not dare to falsely pass the imperial edict even if he died!"
Yin Chunqiu said with a buckle on his head.
At this moment, Yin Chunqiu was like a humble ant, without the scenery he had before.
"Go, call the eunuch in the seal, I want them to confront each other!" said the king coldly.
Soon, a white-faced eunuch, wearing a red robe, was called over.
"Old dog, I ask you, did you write this edict by my life?" The king threw the imperial edict on the eunuch who held the seal and said coldly.
"Report to Your Majesty, this edict is indeed what Your Majesty said in person. Otherwise, even if I have a hundred courages, I would not dare to forge the edict!" The eunuch immediately knelt down and said with a trembling body.
At this time, Yin Chunqiu also breathed a sigh of relief. His eyes glanced at Xiao Wuji and said in his heart: "If I survive this disaster this time, I will definitely pay the price!"
Xiao Wuji also noticed Yin Chunqiu's hostility, and then smiled faintly and said, "Your Majesty, do you know why you are in a coma these days?"
As soon as these words came out, Yin Chunqiu's expression suddenly condensed and became very nervous.
"Does this kid know that Your Majesty is poisoned? It's absolutely impossible!" Yin Chunqiu said in his heart.
The poison they put on the king was secretly brought into the palace from Futu Mountain. It was colorless and tasteless. Moreover, after the king was poisoned, there would be no strange phenomena and could not feel them at all.
The only symptom is coma.
Futu Mountain is known for its poison refining. Only the people in Futu Mountain have antidotes.
Although Yin Chunqiu didn't know why Xiao Wuji could relieve the poison of Futu Mountain, he believed that Xiao Wuji was definitely bluffing.
There were also cold sweats in the palm of the eldest prince's palm.
"Young Master Xiao, do you know the reason why I am unconscious?" asked the king.
Xiao Wuji nodded, and under Yin Chunqiu's gaze, he said lightly: "That's because you are infected with a poison that is difficult to detect."
"That kind of poison, colorless and odorless, even the imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital cannot find out. They can only prescribe medicine to relieve your symptoms, but they cannot cure you."
As soon as Xiao Wuji said this, Yin Chunqiu's pupils suddenly shrank. He sweated so much as rain and his legs were trembling.
He didn't expect that Xiao Wuji actually recognized the poison of Futu Mountain.
This is also incredible.
"Your Majesty, he is talking nonsense and confusing the public. You can't believe this charlatan at all!" At this time, Yin Chunqiu could only protect himself.
If the king was asked to find the poisoned person, Yin Chunqiu would definitely not be able to survive.
"Prime Minister Yin, why are you doing so anxious to defend yourself?"
"I didn't say that the poisoned person is you!" Xiao Wuji snorted coldly.
At this time, everyone's eyes were gathered on Yin Chunqiu.
After Xiao Wuji said this and Yin Chunqiu's abnormal behavior, even a fool could find some unusual things.
"Yin Chunqiu, you are so brave. Even His Majesty dares to frame him. I think you really have enough of your life!" Shoufu Zhang said angrily.
The King of Qiang Di was a wise king. Without his support, Zhang Shoufu's series of reform strategies could not be implemented.
Therefore, in his heart, Shoufu Zhang still respects the King of Qiang Di.
And Yin Chunqiu actually wanted to frame the king, how could Zhang Shoufu tolerate it?
"Sir, don't swear at others without any evidence. Why do you say I'm framed His Majesty?" Yin Chunqiu shook his head and said.
He expected that there was no evidence for everyone, so he could not be charged with him.
"Prime Minister Yin, are you so confident?"
"If I guessed correctly, you should still carry that poison with you, right?" Xiao Wuji spoke lightly.
As soon as these words came out, Yin Chunqiu's expression changed and said, "You're talking nonsense. I've clearly put that medicine at home. Even my confidant doesn't know where it is..."
However, before Yin Chunqiu finished speaking, he knew that this was the pit that Xiao Wuji dug for him.
Waiting for him to jump inside.
Yin Chunqiu immediately regretted it and pointed at Xiao Wuji and shouted: "Bastard, you dare to frame me!"
The eldest prince also wiped the cold sweat from his head. Fortunately, he did not fight with Xiao Wuji, otherwise he would have fallen into Xiao Wuji's pit.
"Prime Minister Yin, what you said is wrong. If you didn't poison the king, how could you fall into my trap?" Xiao Wuji shrugged. At this time, the truth was revealed and there was no need to say anything more.
"Okay, okay, you Yin Chunqiu, not only dare to fake the imperial edict, but also dare to poison me and frame me."
"You are really bold."
"I have always valued you and cultivated you. I didn't expect that you would repay me like this, which is great!" The king's face was as gloomy as water at this time.
If it were anyone else, I would probably not be able to stand Yin Chunqiu's actions.
"Your Majesty, please spare me. I was also obsessed with it for a moment and did such a stupid thing!"
"Please give me a chance to reform because I have no credit and hard work!"
Yin Chunqiu knelt down again, his head bleeding.
"The crime of regicide is unforgivable, and it should be implicated in the nine tribes!" The king stood up and exuded a powerful force. The emperor's wrath was buried in millions of corpses.
At this moment, Yin Chunqiu's face turned pale.
The crime of regicide is a heinous crime at any time.
Then, the king looked at the eldest prince again and said, "As my son, you are in love with the prime minister of the current dynasty and want to murder me."
"Sin is unforgivable!"
After Xiao Wuji pointed out the truth of the matter, he no longer cared about the rest of the matter.
The king has absolutely zero tolerance towards those who want to murder him!
"Father, my son is wrong. Yin Chunqiu has been bewitching my son. Otherwise, even if I give my son a hundred courage, I would not dare to do such a ruthless thing!"
"Please give your son a chance!"
At this moment, the eldest prince was extremely regretful.
If he had known this, he would never have provoked Xiao Wuji.
In his opinion, Xiao Wuji is like an omnipotent demon. The person who opposes him has only one way to die...
