Lu Ruilang smiled slightly, and calmly raised his wine glass: "Please." He drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing this, the emperor laughed, raised his head, and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.As soon as he put down the wine glass, he spat out a big mouthful of black blood.

"Bold and unreasonable people dare to poison the emperor, come here, and arrest him soon. Also, sister, this happened in your house, you can't escape the responsibility, including the son-in-law, arrest everyone." Two The prince's voice trembled because of excitement.

"Father, father, what's wrong with you, don't scare me." Princess Yuehua turned pale with fright, hugged the emperor's shoulder, and shouted in panic.

Lu Ruilang reluctantly took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve, poured out a "Hundred Poison Pill" and fed it into the emperor's mouth, injected a little spiritual power into his body, and at the same time whispered in his ear: "It's so big to play. Look, it scares your daughter. I gave you the antidote and didn’t take one first. Does this mean that your life is hard, or is it that you are reluctant to part with the antidote?"

When the emperor who had just recovered from his breath heard the last sentence, his old face turned red, and two red clouds floated on his originally pale face.

As soon as he got the antidote last night, he asked the director of the imperial hospital to check it.Yuanzheng watched, smelled and licked, tossed and tossed for a long time, and even wasted one for experimentation, and finally gave out eight words: it can cure hundreds of poisons, but it cannot be copied.

Therefore, the one that was wasted by the courtyard made the emperor feel distressed all night.So before Yuehua heard that Dr. Li would come, he decided not to take the antidote in advance.Not only can it save one, but it can also make the scene more realistic, killing two birds with one stone.

Princess Yuehua is the closest to the two, so she heard Dr. Li's words clearly.As smart as she is, she quickly guessed the truth of the matter.

"Come on, go and arrest the kitchen and the drinkers." The most important thing now is to find out who is behind the scenes.

The second prince's eyes flashed, he had already made arrangements, that person should be a corpse by now.

Sanyuan Jidi's son-in-law is as shrewd as a fox in front of others, except that he occasionally acts stupid in front of the princess.As soon as the incident happened, he secretly observed all the people present.

The expressions of other people include panic, fear, worry, nervousness, etc. These are normal expressions of ordinary people when encountering unexpected accidents.Only the second prince and Yan Huanxuan had intriguing expressions.

Although the second prince looked panic-stricken and anxious, there was no tension or worry in his eyes, instead there was a hint of disappointment.

Yan Huanxuan couldn't hide it better than the second prince, looking at Yan Huanyu's eyes were full of resentment and impatience for major events to come.

"Tell the princess, everyone has been arrested. One of them is hanging himself in the house, but he has been rescued and his life is not in danger."

Whispering voices immediately sounded around, hanged himself at this time, obviously committed suicide in fear of crime, it seems that the person who poisoned the emperor was indeed from the Princess Mansion.This time, Her Royal Highness the Princess cannot escape her responsibility.

The panic in the second prince's eyes flashed away. This person should have died half an hour ago, and something must have gone wrong.Now not only is the father not dead, but this person has also been arrested... Then thinking that this person's family is in his hands, the panic in the second prince's eyes dissipated a lot, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense.

"Father, you have just been poisoned. You should return to the palace to recuperate quickly. I will leave it to my ministers to deal with it. I will never let anyone related to this matter go." The second prince stood up, awe-inspiring, business-like Office look.His eyes flicked over Yuehua Kungfu, the son-in-law, Yan Huanyu and others one by one.

The emperor glanced at him and waved his hand: "No, I'm blessed and fateful. Hmph, some people may be disappointed. Bring that person up, and I'll interrogate him myself." As expected of a man who has been an emperor for decades, his eyes As soon as he slammed, all the people below fell to their knees, silent like cicadas, not even daring to cheer up.

In the whole hall, only Lu Ruilang was still sitting there, drinking tea leisurely.

The one who was brought up was a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, with an obvious bruise mark on his neck, kneeling on the ground trembling.

"Tell me first, why did you hang yourself?" The emperor's voice was very calm, as if the person in front of him was not the murderer who poisoned him, but a child next door.

After hearing the emperor's question, the young servant didn't say a word, just kowtowed non-stop.Soon, blood came out from his forehead, staining the bluestone ground red.

The emperor raised his index finger, and a guard immediately stepped forward to stop him.

"You don't have to be afraid, just speak out if you have any concerns, you have to know, I am the emperor, there is nothing in this world that I can find out, and there is no one I can't save." The emperor looked at the little servant on the ground and paused every word. road.

The emperor's words made the young servant immediately quiet down, he raised his head slightly tremblingly, glanced at the emperor, bit his lip and fell silent for a moment, when he was about to speak, he heard the second prince coughing suddenly.

The servant was startled, and his mouth that had just opened was tightly closed again.

The emperor gave the second prince a sideways look, and said to the boy: "With me here, what are you afraid of? Could it be that someone here has more power than me?" After speaking, he glanced at the second prince again, the warning in his eyes was very obvious.

The second prince immediately lowered his head, with panic in his eyes, why did the father look at him like this, and what did he mean by that, did the father already know something.No, no, it's impossible, they act so secretly, it's impossible for the emperor to know.

The second prince kept comforting himself in his heart, but the fear and panic in his eyes became more and more intense.

The young man raised his head and glanced at the second prince, and found that his head was lowered, unable to see his expression. The fear in his heart suddenly disappeared, and he boldly said: "My parents, younger brothers and sisters have all been arrested. Wuwu... ...Woo...I don't want to die, but if I don't listen to them, they will kill my parents, my younger siblings, my sister is only five years old...uah..."

"Don't cry, tell me clearly, who are they and what do you want to do?" The emperor took a sip of tea and continued to ask.

"Yes, yes..." The servant raised his head and looked at the second prince again.

At this moment, everyone in the hall looked at the second prince. Even if the boy didn't say anything, everyone would have guessed that this matter must have something to do with the second prince.

"No one here dares to hurt you, just tell me." The emperor put down the teacup in his hand, and took another look at the second prince.

The second prince was already trembling with fright, not daring to raise his head.

Lu Ruilang shook his head in his heart. With this quality of heart, he still wanted to do such a difficult thing as killing his father and seizing the throne, which is really whimsical.

The little servant seemed to muster up his courage, held his breath, pointed at the second prince, and shouted loudly: "It's the second prince, it's the second prince who asked someone to arrest my family and force me to poison the emperor's wine glass, and then hanged myself For example, if I don't agree, I will kill my parents, my younger siblings." Maybe it was because the hatred in my heart was too deep, so I shouted in a breath, and two lines of blood and tears flowed from my eyes.

"Second prince, do you have anything to say?" The emperor's tone was very calm, as if he was just asking if the weather is good today.

Hearing the emperor's question, the second prince shook his body, knelt down on the ground, and shouted indistinctly: "You are wronged, father, he is talking nonsense, he slandered me, he framed me, he is all talking nonsense, By the way, this must be the envoy of Yuehua, she poisoned the father and then blamed me, yes, it must be like this, father, you must believe me, I have never done anything, I will do nothing I haven't done it." The second prince pointed at Princess Yuehua, as if insane.

The emperor glanced at the second prince lying at his feet, his eyes were full of disgust and disgust.If you want to kill him to seize the throne, he can save his life.However, Heng'er and Yuehua who dared to hurt him, death is not a pity.

The emperor looked at the boy again: "Do you still have any poison on you?"

The servant took out a small blue and white porcelain bottle from his belt, and handed it over with both hands: "There is still a little left."

The eunuch took it carefully and handed it to the emperor.Suddenly, a hand stretched out from the side, and took the bottle from his hand.

Lu Ruilang opened it, looked at it, and nodded: "It's indeed the 'soul-breaking grass'. It should have been wiped on the inner wall of your wine glass in advance. After it dries, only a very light milky smell remains. After pouring in the wine, it will dissolve into nothing. Tasteless and highly poisonous."

Lu Ruilang's voice fell, and there were several exclamations from around.The second prince even collapsed on the ground, but he was still murmuring something indistinctly. Listening carefully, he seemed to be saying: "I didn't do it, and it has nothing to do with me, concubine mother, come and save me..."

Seeing the second prince's current appearance, the son-in-law frowned slightly, and then his eyes flashed.When the matter developed to this point, how could he still fail to see that this was simply a game set up by the emperor.More precisely, it was a trap set by the emperor.

The whole thing seemed normal and reasonable.But, why didn't the boy hang himself in the morning or in the evening, but why did he hang himself when the guards were going to arrest him?There is also this poison. After a normal person commits a crime, the first thing to do is to destroy the criminal evidence.But this boy actually put the poison back on his body, is it because he is afraid that others will not find evidence?

Set up this bureau, in order to prevent the leak of news, the emperor will not use people around him, who will help him arrange all this?

The son-in-law's eyes lingered on Yan Huanyu. Isn't this general who was sent back to the capital by the emperor for investigation? Isn't he the best candidate?Naturally, the second prince would not pay more attention to a defeated general.Yan Huanyu, who was out of everyone's sight, happened to hide in the dark to handle some more secret matters for the emperor.

Yan Huanyu sensed that someone was looking at him, and raised his eyes to meet the eyes of the son-in-law, and saw the son-in-law raised the corners of his mouth and smiled at him.

The son-in-law narrowed his eyes slightly. If he guessed correctly, Yan Huanyu should already be the new commander of the secret guard.Only those whom the emperor trusts extremely can become secret guards, let alone the leader of the secret guards, which is equivalent to the emperor handing over his life to Yan Huanyu.

It's ridiculous that the second prince and Yan Huanxuan racked their brains to accuse him of being obstinate in duty, and dismissed him as a general, but they didn't know that it was him who dug a hole and jumped and asked for it.

After Yan Huanyu glanced at the son-in-law, he looked away.People who are smarter than foxes should stay away.

Lu Ruilang naturally saw the eye contact between the two, his eyes darkened, and he approached Yan Huanyu's ear and asked softly, "Why is that little white face looking at you like this?"

A smile flashed across Yan Huanyu's eyes, and he shook his head: "I don't know." It is really apt to say that the dignified No. [-] scholar Lang is a little boy.Wasn't it just relying on his face back then, brazenly saying in the Golden Luan Hall that he was talented and good-looking, worthy of a princess.
