"What?!" The prince grabbed the neck of the young eunuch who came to report the news to him, his eyes were splitting red, "Father didn't eat that snack?!"
The little eunuch had never seen the prince look like this. He was so frightened that he almost cried. He replied tremblingly: "Back to the prince, the emperor felt that the tea was not strong in taste, so he did not eat it."
The prince threw the person out: "Trash, get out of here!"
The little eunuch left immediately and did not dare to stay at all.
The prince's face was particularly ugly.
He had been waiting for this opportunity to poison his father for a long time. In this special period, under normal circumstances, everything his father eats must go through heavy inspections, but he found a kind of medicine among the people.
This kind of poisonous silver needle cannot be detected, but the poison is slightly bitter in the mouth, and cakes made from tea leaves are somewhat bitter.
Mixing poison into cakes made from tea leaves is the least likely way to be noticed.
Father didn't even eat...
The prince gritted his teeth hard.
If you miss this opportunity, you won't know when the next opportunity for poisoning will be.
Moreover, this poison is a chronic poison. It is useless to take it only once. You have to take it at least three times.
The prince spent the whole day thinking about how he should find another opportunity to poison the emperor, but in the afternoon he received the news that the emperor was suddenly critically ill.
The face of the eunuch who came to report the news was full of sadness: "Your Highness, please go and see the emperor quickly. It seems that the emperor is not alive."
"Is this true?" A joyful expression suddenly flashed across the prince's face, but under the surprised gaze of the eunuch, he immediately controlled the expression on his face and said with a sad look on his face, "What do you mean by this?
Is this going to happen? Father, weren't you fine this morning?"
The eunuch said: "In the morning, the emperor's mood and appetite were not good. The imperial kitchen made cakes and sent them to the emperor, but he didn't eat them. Later, he met with His Highness the Third Prince. His Highness the Third Prince persuaded the Emperor to eat some meals and cakes, but he didn't expect that
The emperor suddenly vomited blood without warning, and the imperial doctor said that his life was hanging by a thread."
"Let you go now, maybe you will see the emperor for the last time." The eunuch said, "Your Highness, you'd better go over quickly."
The prince looked sad: "I will go over now."
As he spoke, he walked outside.
The prince felt indescribable joy.
I didn't expect that.
This third child can really surprise him.
Unexpectedly, the father didn't want to eat the pastry, but he actually ate it after the persuasion of the third child. Now when the father was poisoned, only the third child was present. Even if the third child had ten thousand mouths, he couldn't explain clearly.
The prince's eyes flashed fiercely.
And that doctor.
Don’t even think about escaping!
Xiao Ningyu is indeed his lucky star.
In her dream, she dreamed that she would ascend the throne and become the Ninth Five-Year Supreme Being, but she didn't expect that he would actually become one.
When the prince arrived at the emperor's bedroom, the queen mother and Concubine Rong had already arrived.
Before he walked in, he heard the Queen Mother's deep voice: "What's going on with the Emperor? The Emperor was fine when the Ai family came here before! What's going on now? Hasn't the poison in the Emperor's body been detoxified?
?Why are you poisoned again?! And the poison is even more powerful than before! What’s wrong with you?!”
"I don't know for sure, but the emperor's current situation is really dangerous. Judging from the pulse, the emperor seems to have suffered a sudden attack without any struggle at all."
The voice of the third prince also sounded: "Royal grandmother, my father is indeed suddenly poisoned. My grandson was originally trying to persuade his father to eat well to get better faster, but as he was talking, his father vomited blood, and then
That’s it.”
The imperial doctor answered: "There are only two possibilities for this situation. One is that the toxins in the emperor's body have not been cleaned out at all. The other is that the emperor himself has been poisoned. This poisoning has completely destroyed the toxins in the emperor's body.
The toxins were drawn out."
But the second scenario is simply impossible.
Because the emperor's body has always been very healthy, and it is impossible for anyone to live so well despite having poison in his body.
So it can only be the first case.
Upon hearing what the imperial doctor said, the third prince's eyes darkened.
The Queen Mother looked at the third prince, her face no longer pleasant: "Jinyan, where is that doctor? Why wasn't he here when something happened to the emperor? He kept saying that the toxins in your father's body had been cleaned out, and your father is like this now
What is the situation?”
The third prince's expression was very dull, and he said in a deep voice: "Royal grandmother, her medical skills are undoubtedly good, but my father's current condition is actually more like being poisoned again."
"Poisoned again?" The Queen Mother asked, "If this is really the case, can you tell the Ai family who poisoned them? Where did they poison them? Your father's palace has been inspected from top to bottom. There is no trace of it.
Nothing poisonous!”
"Jinyan, if you say this, the Ai family is really disappointed in you."
The Queen Mother looked at the third prince with a very sad look in her eyes, "You are your father's favorite child. Now that your father's life is hanging by a thread, you are still protecting a doctor. What are you thinking?
"
The third prince explained in a deep voice: "My grandson is not protecting that doctor, but my grandson's legs were indeed cured by that doctor. My grandson's legs were actually poisoned, so my grandson believes in her so much."
But the current Queen Mother couldn't listen to the third prince's explanation at all. She ordered: "The Ai family doesn't know what you are talking about. The Ai family only knows that the toxins in the emperor's body have not been cleaned out because of him, and now your father is about to die.
! If you don’t call that doctor into the palace, when the Ai family sends people to arrest him, the Ai family will not be so easy to talk to!"
Concubine Rong cried so hard that her eyes were filled with tears. When she heard what the Queen Mother said, she quickly spoke: "Jinyan, what has become of your father? Do you still want to protect that doctor? Listen to your grandmother,
Call the doctor over quickly and ask him to continue cleaning out the toxins in the emperor's body, otherwise, your father may not be able to survive tonight just like the imperial doctor said!"
The third prince did not speak and used silence to express his attitude.
When the prince heard the Queen Mother's accusation against the third prince outside the palace, he almost burst out laughing uncontrollably. He really didn't expect that Lu Jinyan would be like this!
Normally, the Imperial Grandmother dotes on Lu Jinyan the most, but no matter how much she dotes on Lu Jinyan, the Emperor is still the Imperial Grandmother’s son!
Now that Lu Jinyan's actions threaten his father's statement, how could the emperor's grandmother let him go?
When the prince heard this, he stopped waiting outside and ran in quickly. The expression on his face was sad and anxious: "Father? How is father?"
Seeing the prince coming, Concubine Rong hurriedly walked towards the prince: "Go and see your father quickly, your father..." Concubine Rong said, tears fell again, and she cried hard.
The prince asked anxiously: "What's wrong with my father?"
"Go in and see for yourself." Concubine Rong Guifei said with sobs, regardless of her image.
After the prince hurriedly saluted the queen mother, he opened his legs and walked towards the palace.
The third prince watched these two people perform, his delicate eyes full of ridicule.
These two people acted really well.
He obviously wished that his father would die now, and he obviously wanted to poison his father by himself, but now he could pretend to be like this.
The Queen Mother looked at the third prince at this time: "Jinyan, can you get that doctor into the palace? If not, the Ai family will send someone there personally!"
The third prince sighed and looked at the Queen Mother with a hurt look on his face: "Grandma, in your eyes, is your grandson really a person who ignores his father's body for the sake of outsiders? You have to believe in your grandson, she
There is absolutely nothing wrong with my medical skills.”
"Perseverance!" The Queen Mother's chest rose and fell rapidly. Just as she was about to say something, she saw the prince running out of the palace in a hurry, his face full of anxiety, "Emperor! My father is vomiting blood again! Come and take a look.
what's going on!"
"What?!"
The imperial doctors rushed into the hall one after another.
The Queen Mother and Concubine Rong quickly followed in.
The third prince saw the winner's smile that the prince showed towards him.
He chuckled softly and pushed his wheelchair in.
In the palace, the imperial doctor was taking the emperor's pulse, but his expression suddenly changed.
When the Queen Mother saw the imperial doctor's expression change, she became even more anxious: "How is the Emperor?"
The imperial doctor said nothing.
"Why did the Emperor suddenly vomit blood?" The Queen Mother looked at the Prince.
The prince said: "When my grandson came in just now, he wanted to wipe the blood from the corners of his father's lips. But for some reason, as soon as his grandson touched his father, he vomited out a mouthful of blood..."
In fact, it was because he had poison on his hands on the way here.
In this situation, if my father lives for one more day, it will be more disadvantageous for him.
Being able to see his father, he would never let go of this opportunity to poison him.
And the amount he placed was large enough.
Coupled with the words he heard outside just now, he was completely confident and put all the blame on the doctor.
By then, Lu Jinyan and that doctor will both die!
Kill two birds with one stone!
The prince is very good at calculating.
At this time, the imperial doctor finally took back his hand.
Concubine Rong knew everything about the prince's plan, so at this time, she knew in her heart what was going on with the emperor. However, she acted as if she didn't know anything. She asked the imperial doctor anxiously: "Physician
,What happened to the Emperor?"
The imperial doctor said nothing, just knelt down and kowtowed three times to the emperor.
What the three heads represent is self-evident.
The Queen Mother fainted on the spot.
"The Queen Mother!"
"Royal Grandmother!"
"Queen mother!"
The whole palace was in chaos.
…
Soon, the news of the emperor's death spread.
The ministers entered the palace one after another. When they learned that the emperor had not removed toxins from his body, all the ministers cast their accusing eyes on the third prince who was sitting in a wheelchair.
Although they couldn't say anything due to their status, their eyes said everything.
Everyone looked at the sad prince and the third prince who had no expression on his face, and their feelings towards the third prince gradually dropped.
Originally, the third prince's legs were able to recover, which was something that could easily cause turmoil for the court. They were not willing to see it, but now the emperor died suddenly, and the reason was because of the people the third prince brought.
Look at the indifferent expression on the third prince's face now.
If such a person ascends the throne, what will happen to them?
No one can imagine it.
"Everyone." Xiao Xu spoke at this time, "The emperor passed away suddenly. This is indeed a very sudden thing. I know that everyone feels uncomfortable, but no matter what, the country cannot be without a king for a day.
The prime minister feels that the most important thing now is for His Royal Highness to succeed to the throne."
"Xiao Xiang's words are right."
"Yeah yeah."
"The emperor passed away and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince succeeded to the throne. This is a matter of course and it should be so."
"..."
After Xiao Xu finished speaking, many ministers responded to him.
The reason why Xiao Xu said this was because of the marriage between the prince and Xiao Ningyu, but no matter what, with the beginning of Xiao Xu, the prince's succession should be decided like this.
Ye Jun didn't say anything.
After everyone expressed their opinions, Xiao Xu said: "Since everyone feels so, then His Highness the Crown Prince..."
"Wait a minute."
At this moment, a sharp voice echoed through the hall.
Upon hearing this voice, everyone's expressions changed, especially the prince's expression, which became extremely ugly.
Because the voice was none other than Eunuch Song who was beside the emperor.
Everyone moved aside, and everyone immediately saw Eunuch Song standing at the door of the hall, but at this moment Eunuch Song was a bit eye-catching.
Because in his hands were two shining imperial edicts.
"Eunuch Song, why are you here?" Xiao Xu had a smile on his face.
Eunuch Song had no expression on his face. He shook the fly whisk in his hand and said, "We are here to pass on the emperor's decree."
