No correction

It turned out that Wu Jiu's body was much weaker than others because of the root cause of the disease, and he was already aware of it on the first day of being chronically poisoned.

Wu Jiao just slept on the mat on the ground that day, so he had some headaches and bloated brain, it was nothing serious, these minor ailments and aches and pains usually passed after taking an antibiotic, because Wu Jiao was really afraid of drinking soup and medicine, the pain was severe.

But Qi Hou suddenly became gentle and considerate and attentive, urging the medical officer to come over to see what happened, and insisted on Wu Jiu taking medicine, Wu Jiu had no choice.

But after taking the medicine for the first time, I felt uncomfortable immediately. The symptoms of the cold were not suppressed, but became more and more serious. The symptoms of sneezing turned into headache and chest tightness. When coughing, I still felt that my throat and chest were burning. pain.

The medical officer came to see it once, and found out that Wu Jiu must have been poisoned. Others are in good health, and it is not obvious after drinking it once. The poison is only deposited in the body.Wu Jiu's body was relatively weak, but this time he saved his life, and the poison was revealed immediately.

This poison is not easy to cure, but the medical officer is not easy to eat, so he immediately prescribed medicine to detoxify Wu Jiao, but if there is no antidote for this poison, it may not be completely cured, if it accumulates for too long, it will eventually hurt the body.

On the one hand, Wu Jiu secretly sent people to investigate who poisoned them and how they poisoned them, but they found nothing. The food and tea were all very clean, and it was not from these places that the poison was poisoned.

On the other hand, since they couldn't find out the person who poisoned him, naturally there would be no antidote. Although Wu Jiu had a life that he picked up in this life, he didn't want to resign himself to fate now.

So Wu Jiu came up with a trick to lure out the person who poisoned him.

When Qi Hou heard that Wu Jiu had been poisoned, he was furious, but because he couldn't find the person who poisoned him, Qi Hou had no choice but to cooperate with the program directed by Wu Jiu and start acting. It's really handy to act.

In addition, all the special envoys of various countries lived in the posthouse, and with Zhang Bage's mouth, the news that Wu Jiao was going to fail was spread in an instant.

In the past two days, Wu Jiu arranged for people to secretly boil the antidote prescribed by the medical officer, and on the other hand, he also sent people to search around to see if there was a fox's tail sticking out.

There was no one there for a few days, but the hard work paid off, and Cao GUI noticed it.

On that day, Cao GUI also heard that something happened to Wu Jiao, because he couldn't see Wu Jiao, after all, Wu Jiao was pretending, and he was lying in the room every day and couldn't see anyone. If outsiders saw Wu Jiao's face, they didn't look like him at all A person who is poisoned will definitely die.

Especially Wu Jiu in the later stage, almost all the toxins could be removed, and the medical officer was helpless. They pretended to be sick in the room and acted, and Qihou also came to act, and the two of them sat silently talking to each other every day, which was simply tormenting.

Two people acting, how can others see it, if more people see it, it will inevitably leak the news, so no one will see Wu Jiao, just spread some news that Wu Jiao is going to die.

Cao GUI couldn't see Wu Jiu, so he came to Ziqing to inquire about the content. Yan'e and Ziqing didn't know about this, after all, they were people around Wu Jiu, if they knew, they wouldn't appear to be in a hurry, so it was easy to cheat.

So when Cao GUI came to the pharmacy, he saw Ziqing sitting on the steps crying secretly, but Cao GUI had never seen Ziqing cry.

Although Cao GUI used to live in Liangfu Mountain in seclusion, he still knew everything about the court. Ziqing was the secret agent beside Qihou, and he was a very capable spy, calm and calm, with top-notch resourcefulness and martial arts.

Cao GUI had never imagined what it would be like for Ziqing to cry. Every time Cao GUI took the initiative to tease Ziqing, Ziqing would just keep a cold face, and even staring was a small gesture that would only show after being out of breath, let alone crying. .

Although the opportunity was really rare, it was quite distressing for a small-looking young man to cry secretly. Cao GUI wanted to comfort him, but suddenly saw something else that caught his attention.

Wu Jiu is a clean person, everyone knows this, Ziqing and Yan'e also pay attention to this point, but Cao GUI saw that the filter cloth in the pharmacy had a trace of yellowing on it.

Because the filter cloth is really inconspicuous, it is good to wash it after use, and throw it away for a new one after washing it a few times.

Ziqing was pouring the medicine, but he didn't expect Cao GUI to make trouble, he smashed the medicine bowl, and it was broken all over the floor, as was the medicine soup, which spilled all over Ziqing.

Ziqing was about to make a fuss, but Cao GUI pushed him away, squatted down and reached out to pick up the pieces, then picked out the filter cloth from the middle, and said, "Ziqing, do you clean this filter cloth every day?"

Ziqing was a little surprised, and said: "Young master likes to be clean, so naturally he washes carefully every day."

Cao GUI suddenly laughed and said, "I see."

Ziqing felt that Cao GUI was baffled, but Cao GUI said that he knew how to catch the poisoner, and they didn't need to go everywhere to find the poisoner, they just needed to send someone to watch the pharmacy carefully.

In the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the safety factor in the palace and the post house was very low, otherwise there would not be a Yonglin man who cut off the head of Gongsun Wuzhi with a sword today, and supported the son Xiaobai to succeed him, and the general Nangong will be the commander of tomorrow. Song Gong fell on the door frame and was beaten to death with one punch, such things abound.

Moreover, in that era, whether it was the emperor, the monarch, or the courtiers, they could wear swords and weapons with them. When they met their superiors, they did not need to untie the sword. Although the sword was not a symbol of status, it had a deeper meaning. The side is a life-saving talisman, so there is no need for any measures to untie the sword.

In the palace and the post house, there are no guards guarding the gates, but there will be a large number of guards in front of a few fixed gates, such as in front of the palace gates of the emperor and princes and kings, and in front of the Mingtang Palace. The guards guard the gates, and the small gates of other houses are answered by the eunuchs who serve.

It was even worse in the post house, because the post house was the place where the special envoys of various countries lived, so the guards in the post house were only responsible for guarding the gate. If the guards were too tight, it would cause unnecessary disputes with the special envoys of the princes.

However, in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the idea of ​​poisoning was still very trendy. Most people held their swords and directly acted as brave warriors. People in this era are more straightforward in killing people. It’s like two armies confronting each other. They will definitely not hit you today, and most of them don't have the famous strategy of night attack and sneak attack in the Three Kingdoms era.

So although there is no custom of poisoning in this era, if you want to poison, it is very easy.

When the special envoys of various countries heard that Young Master Qi had been poisoned, they were all shocked and surprised. They didn't know who was so vicious, and even thought of such a vile method as poisoning.

Cao GUI immediately asked to see Marquis Qi and explained the matter clearly, so Wu Jiu and Marquis Qi ordered people to guard the door of the pharmacy, and if someone approached the pharmacy in the middle of the night, they would be arrested immediately.

The person who poisoned him was very cautious, he didn't go to the pharmacy every day, Wu Jiao waited for a whole day before he got to the person who poisoned him.

This person turned out to be the eunuch serving by Marquis Qi's side. This eunuch is not young, but he was bestowed by the emperor.

Although the Son of Heaven has just ascended the throne, and is very close to Marquis Qi, and has no assertiveness or majesty, Marquis Qi always has to sell some face to the person bestowed by the Son of Heaven. After all, Marquis Qi knows very well that this person is not an eunuch serving him. But the eyeliner of the emperor.

If the emperor's eyeliner is pulled too clean, the emperor will be unhappy, so Qi Hou left this eyeliner.

But who knows, this eyeliner actually started to sit up and make bold little moves.

The eunuch was arrested, trembling with fear, but kept silent, Wu Jiao was not afraid that he would not speak, the Huben army took the eunuch to the open space of the post house, tied him up, and soon, although it was In the middle of the night, but the special envoys of other countries heard the news and immediately ran out to see what happened.

A lot of people gathered around and saw Wu Jiao, they were all very surprised. Didn't it be said yesterday that Young Master Jiu was dying, or that he was dead?Why did he stand up properly today, with a pink and rosy complexion and a good complexion, so he doesn't look like someone who is about to die or is poisoned?

Wu Jiu was dressed in a moon-white shirt, and his whole body looked dusty, and he was wearing a black fur cape. Qi Hou stood beside him, and said coldly, "Beat."

Qi Hou's words were concise and to the point, and the Huben army didn't dare to be negligent, so they quickly brought a whip, and said "Crack!" at the eunuch, and the whip was whipped down.

The eunuch wailed in pain, blood was seen with a whip, and the special envoy next to him was terrified.

Wu Jiao raised his hand with a smile on his face, and Huben Jun took a step back clinging to the whip, and stood by the side to wait for orders. Wu Jiao walked over with a smile, circled around the tied up eunuch, and stretched out his hand to pinch the eunuch's chin , lifted it up to let him look at him, said "tsk tsk" twice, and said, "How is it, does the whip feel good? Look at your small body, I'm afraid you won't be able to withstand three lashes, and I feel pity for you too."

The eunuch was whipped, and immediately his flesh was bruised and bloody. Lihua burst into tears, tears streaming down her cheeks, and cried, "My lord, my lord...the minister is really wronged, and I can't do anything to you." I don't know, my lord, I beg you to let the minister go..."

Wu Jiu said with a smile: "Although the body is so thin, the mouth is still quite hard, so give it a try with two more whips."

As he spoke, he backed away two steps, and the Huben army immediately came forward, "slapped" twice, bowed left and right, and immediately slapped the eunuch. The eunuch wailed twice, his cheeks were drawn immediately, and his face was instantly red and swollen When he got up, he also saw blood.

The eunuch was terrified, and begged, "Your Majesty! Young Master! I'll tell you what to say! Please don't beat me!"

Wu Jiu waved his hand with a smile on his face, telling Huben Jun to retreat, and said, "Say it."

The eunuch rolled his eyes and said, "Yes...it was Chen Guo's special envoy who poisoned me!"

Among the onlookers, there happened to be a special envoy of Chen Guo, who was taken aback immediately, and rushed over and shouted: "You... You thief is actually spitting blood, son, our Chen Guo has always been on good terms with Qi Guo, let alone Chen Guo's!" The daughter of the country has just married to Qi State, and she is honored by Duke Qi to preside over the wedding in person, how could she have the intention of harming Qi State? Young Master, don't let him drive a wedge between our two countries!"

Wu Jiu also felt that it was impossible, if the eunuch said that Wei people or Lu people had poisoned, Wu Jiu still had a [-]% chance of believing it, but when he said Chen Guo, Wu Jiu really didn't believe it at all.

Qi Hou sneered and said, "It seems that you are still stubborn, hit again!"

The eunuch was terrified and begged not to fight, but Wu Jiao said, "Wait a minute, it's meaningless to continue beating like this."

Qihou turned his head to look at Wu Jiu, and said with a smile, "Second Brother, do you have any good ideas?"

Wu Jiu smiled and said, "There are no high opinions, but there are short-sighted ones."

He said, looked at the eunuch, and said, "It's just a pain if you beat him like this, how boring? Why don't you pull off his fingernails one by one, and then sprinkle some salt on them, so that the salt sticks to the wound Don't worry, it will definitely make you miserable, but you won't die easily."

The eunuch's eyes widened in fright, and he said, "You...you are a son of a country, but...you are so vicious!"

Wu Jiu raised his eyebrows and said, "My lord is just talking, but before he did it, you called him vicious, so today he will be vicious to the end. Come here, give him a try."

The Huben army next to him hurriedly brought a jar of salt. There were no tweezers in this day and age, so he pressed a small dagger against the eunuch's fingernails, intending to bend his nails violently.

The eunuch yelled "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" and the dagger hadn't even touched his flesh. Maybe Wu Jiu's words were too vivid. The eunuch was already so afraid that he was going to faint, he kept saying: "I said ! I said!! I really said, please son, don't! Don't pull out my nails!"

Wu Jiao waved his hand to make Huben Jun retreat a little, and said coolly: "This is your last chance, if you don't tell the truth, or I don't think you're telling the truth, the nails of all ten of your fingers will be scratched." Was pulled out all at once."

The eunuch trembled like he was sifting chaff, almost peeing, and said, "I, I, I... I said... yes... it was Yao Ji who poisoned me!"

"Yao Ji?"

When Qihou heard the name, his expression immediately darkened, his whole body looked extremely cold, as if it was about to snow, he squinted his eyes.

The eunuch thought they didn't believe it, so he hurriedly said: "It's true! It's absolutely true! You can swear to the sky! If it's half a lie, the sky will strike you with lightning! , Young Master does not give her face, does not help his son ascend to the throne, so...so I hate Young Master, Yao Ji was sent back to the palace that day, saying that she had made a fool of herself, so...so she wanted to poison Young Master to death Let go of the hatred in your heart!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Jiu narrowed his eyes.

Qi Hou sneered, and said, "Okay, now I will go to the palace to meet the emperor, and let you and Yao Ji face to face."

Although the eunuch was afraid, he seemed to be telling the truth. He was relieved to hear that he didn't pick off his fingernails when confronted.

Qihou asked Huben Army to take the eunuch down first, then turned to Wu Jiu and said, "Second brother, it's late at night today, you should go back to rest earlier, and go to the palace now."

As he said that, he turned around and was about to leave, but Wu Jiu hurriedly stopped him and said, "Your Majesty, Jiu will also go together."

Marquis Qi disapproved a little. Although others thought that Wu Jiu looked good, but in fact, Wu Jiu still had lingering poison, and he was not in good health. Naturally, Marquis Qi didn't want him to enter the palace late at night, so it would be better if he rested earlier. .

But Qihou finally nodded and said: "Then just follow the lonely."

The crowd hurriedly surrounded Qihou and Wu Jiao and walked out of the posthouse, prepared their cars and drove, and soon brought the eunuch into the palace.

When they arrived at the gate of the palace, the palace gate was closed long ago, and the emperor had already gone to bed, but Qihou came in person, and said that there was an urgent matter to meet the emperor, and the soldiers guarding the gate did not dare to delay, and immediately sent someone to look for the emperor.

The Son of Heaven had five resting palaces, and no one knew where the Son of Heaven was resting today, so after searching for a long time, he finally found that the Son of Heaven was not in any of the sleeping palaces, but was resting in Yao Ji's place.

Yao Ji was originally the concubine of the late king. Before the late king passed away, he intended to let Yao Ji be buried with him. It is very common for wives and concubines and even favorite ministers to be buried with him in this era. Yao Ji was afraid that she would be buried with her, so she had been buried long ago To lure Hu Qi, but because the former king was alive at that time and Hu Qi was the prince, he dared not accept Yao Ji's temptation.

In the end, the former king passed away in a hurry, because he was pissed off, so Yao Ji was not buried with him. Yao Ji escaped, but she lost her backer, and her son was not the new king, so she wanted to find a new backer , Then go to lure Hu Qi again.

Hu Qi took the bait happily this time, before the late king went to the funeral, Hu Qi had been sleeping at Yao Ji's place day and night, the soldiers couldn't find Hu Qi, or the eunuchs around Hu Qi knew Hu Qi's nature, He quickly found Hu Qi at Yao Ji's place.

Hu Qi and Yao Ji just finished tossing and tossing, and just fell asleep when they were called out in a hurry.

Hu Qi was full of displeasure, and said, "What's the matter?"

The eunuch said: "Reporting to the Son of Heaven, it was the Duke of Qi who entered the palace and wanted to meet the Son of Heaven, saying that it was the Duke of Qi who was poisoned."

When Yao Ji heard this, she was frightened and panicked, but she forced herself to be calm. When Hu Qi heard that it was Marquis Qi, although he didn't want to, he couldn't help it, so he had to ask someone to dress him, and the eunuch said again: "Qi Gong also said... that he also wanted to see Yao Ji."

Upon hearing this, Hu Qi asked strangely, "See Yao Ji?"

Yao Ji was so frightened that her face turned pale. Knowing that the matter had been revealed, she said, "See... what do you do when you see a concubine? The concubine used to be the concubine of the late king, but today she is the concubine of the emperor. No... it is inconvenient to meet foreign ministers."

Hu Qi said, "That's right, that's exactly the reason."

The eunuch said: "This... this young minister doesn't know. Qi Gong just said that he has to confront Yao Ji face to face."

Hu Qi felt strange, he didn't know Yao Ji was responsible for the poisoning, so he planned to take Yao Ji with him, but Yao Ji was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he didn't know what to do, but he couldn't refuse, so he had to be taken by Hu Qi come out.

Marquis Qi and Wu Jiu were invited to Lu's bedroom, and after waiting for half an hour, Hu Qi brought Yao Ji over, and Wu Jiu almost fell asleep.

Hu Qi walked in, although he was full of displeasure, he put on a smile and said, "It's really hard for Duke Qi to come here late at night, I don't know what's the matter?"

Qi Hou sneered, his attitude was very blunt, he saw Yao Ji behind Hu Qi at a glance, and said coldly: "Of course it is for poisoning."

When Hu Qi heard this, he said: "The person who poisoned the young master has been found? That would be great. Who is it? He must be hacked into pieces!"

Yao Ji was so frightened that she broke into a cold sweat when she heard Hu Qi's pretentious behavior, the car cracked? !

Qi Hou said lightly: "The Son of Heaven thinks so, and I feel at ease, so let's call the poisoned thief."

Soon someone brought the eunuch who was tied up to the main hall. Hu Qi looked at it and said in surprise, "Why...how is it you!?"

The eunuch had served Hu Qi before, and was also favored by Hu Qi, saying that he was beautiful, gentle and pleasant, and he just gave him to Qi Hou to please Qi Hou, but Hu Qi didn't expect this. The eunuch actually poisoned him.

Hu Qi quickly said: "Duke Qi, let me see, is there any misunderstanding?"

Qi Hou smiled coldly and said: "Misunderstanding? The eunuch has already admitted it himself, and the stolen goods were taken together. What kind of misunderstanding can it be?"

When Hu Qi heard this, he quickly put aside the relationship and said: "This... this bold eunuch murdered the young master, he really deserves to die."

Qihou said indifferently: "It is indeed worthy of death, but the person behind it must be caught."

Hu Qi said in surprise: "There are people behind it?"

Yao Ji was already terrified and wanted to sneak away, but Qi Hou's eyes were very sharp, staring coldly at Yao Ji who was about to run away, with a cruel smile on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Who ordered you to You are the one who poisoned me, say what you said again, in front of the emperor."

The eunuch dared not say anything, and immediately said: "Yes...it is Yao Ji!"

Hu Qi was taken aback, and Yao Ji screamed even more, but failed to run, and hurriedly said: "Why...how could it be me? Son of Heaven, you have to decide for my concubine, that eunuch, he...he Blood spitting! The concubine doesn't know him at all!"

Seeing Yao Ji trembling, Hu Qi quickly hugged her into his arms, and said with pity, "Yes, yes, Duke Qi, there must be some misunderstanding, or maybe this thief is spitting blood at all."

Before it was Wu Jiu's turn to say anything to Marquis Qi, the eunuch had already said: "Son of Heaven! It's true! The minister didn't spit out blood! What the minister said is true! Yao Ji found the minister and... seduced him , gave the young minister some...some basic medicines, and even lured the young minister to have an affair with her, and asked the young minister to poison the decoction of Mr. Qi, saying it was... because Mr. Qi did not give Yao Ji face , to make her look bad, and not to help her son, Prince Tui, ascend the throne, so... that's why I'm going to kill Prince Qi to relieve my hatred."

The eunuch told a lot of inside stories, which really made Wu Jiu speechless.

When Hu Qi heard this, he was stunned. On the one hand, he was stunned that Yao Ji even seduced the eunuch, and on the other hand, he was stunned that Yao Ji said something that made the prince decadent.

Although Hu Qi loves gorgeous beauty, but he has just ascended the throne, any beauty is just a cloud in front of the throne, and it is not worth mentioning at all.

Wang Zitui itself is a stumbling block, but because of young age, Yao Ji is always blowing pillows, so Hu Qi doesn't take it seriously, who knows that it was brought up today, and Yao Ji and Wang Zitui are so ulterior motives.

Hu Qi immediately pushed Yao Ji out of his arms, "Boom!" Pushing it to the ground with a bang, he stared furiously and said, "Is there such a thing!?"

Yao Ji wiped her tears and cried, "No, no, Son of Heaven, they framed Yao Ji, how could Yao Ji do such a thing?"

As she said, she quickly crawled over and put her arms around Hu Qi's leg, groping and crying.

The eunuch was afraid that Hu Qi would believe Yao Ji's words, so he hurriedly said, "My lord, what I said is true. There is still that medicine in my room. If the emperor doesn't believe it, you can send someone to take it and have a look. The medicine is from the harem." It is absolutely impossible for me to get this thing, and Yao Ji gave it to me."

Hu Qi's face was extremely ugly, the flesh on his face was twitching, and with a "hum", he kicked Yao Ji away.

Yao Ji let out an "ah!", fell to the ground, and cried out, "Son of Heaven! Son of Heaven!"

Hu Qi was furious, and because of the presence of Qihou and Wu Jiao, he felt that he was being cuckolded. This Yao Ji had an affair with the eunuch, his face was dull, and he said: "Yao Ji! You are so bold, the evidence It is true, do you still want to deny it!"

Yao Ji couldn't find the words to cry for a moment, she just crawled over, weeping weakly and said: "My lord, my lord, please spare my life, my lord, if you spare Yao'er once, let's spare Yao'er this time!"

Qi Hou said indifferently: "The Son of Heaven keeps his word, so Yao Ji should be broken into pieces."

Yao Ji was startled, and almost screamed out. Hu Qi looked at Yao Ji's pretty appearance, and he really couldn't bear it if the car broke down. To replace myself feels unforgivable.

Hu Qi then said coldly: "Of course the words of the widow count. Come, someone, take Yao Ji down and murder the prince of Qi. She deserves death and give her a broken car!"

Yao Ji screamed in fright, hugged Hu Qi's thigh tightly, and said, "No, no, no! The emperor spares my life! I was forced too, and I was also forced! I beg the emperor to be sympathetic to Yao'er as a mother." Xinxin, Yao'er too...was only... confused for a while after listening to Wang Zitui's nonsense."

Wu Jiu raised his eyebrows, like a loving mother and filial son, Yao Ji betrayed her son when she was about to die.

Yao Ji cried and said: "Son of Heaven, Yao'er was forced. It was Wang Zitui who encouraged Yao Ji to force Yao Ji to find someone to poison and murder the prince of Qi. It was Wang Zitui's idea. Yao Er did not dare, but The prince resented the son of Qi for meddling in his own business, and took Shi Su out of the palace, so... so he wanted to kill the son of Qi, Yao Er... Yao Er was also forced to help, please look at Yao Er Forced to do nothing, please spare Yao'er's life!"

When Hu Qi heard this, it turned out to be Wang Zitui's idea. He just couldn't find Wang Zitui's reason to wipe out the roots, and immediately said angrily: "Come here!! Put Wang Zitui under custody!"

Wu Jiao didn't expect that this good show would have unexpected rewards. Hu Qi asked someone to arrest Wang Zitui in the middle of the night, and soon brought Wang Zitai over. Wang Zitui was still wearing obscene clothes, and he was probably sleeping. He was dumbfounded when he entered the palace Yes, Yao Ji was crying with pear blossoms and rain, and the eunuch was also beaten with whip marks all over his face. When Wang Zitui saw it, he knew that the matter had been brought to light.

Hu Qi stared at Wang Zitui angrily, and said viciously: "I ask myself that I have treated you well. After the death of the late king, I did not treat you mother and daughter harshly. You are so vicious and want to coerce Mr. Qi, right?" If it weren't for the upright son of the Qi Kingdom, he would have almost fallen into the tricks of you, a vicious villain! How can you be so vicious at such a young age?!"

Hearing what he said, Wang Zitui sneered, as if the jar had been broken, and said, "So vicious? This world should belong to me. Before the prince passed away, he had clearly ordered him to be the prince! You are That fake emperor who does not conform to the etiquette! You have seized my throne, what qualifications do you have to be an emperor? You don’t have any achievements, you only know how to hang out with female eunuchs, and you are fascinated by Yao Ji every day. You are not as cruel as me Come strong!"

Wu Jiao blinked his eyes, and looked over there and began to pinch.

When Hu Qi heard this, Wang Zitui actually exposed his old background in front of everyone, and directly told the story of his affair with Yao Ji, which was heard by Qi Hou and Wu Jiao, really shameless. Immediately shouted angrily: "Reverse! Reverse!! Well, the widow will kill you and tear you apart. Let's see how ruthless you are!"

The soldiers immediately grabbed Yao Ji and Wang Zitui. Yao Ji shouted in fright, but Wang Zitui sneered loudly and said, "If you tear me apart today! The whole world will know what kind of tyrant the new king is. The new king has not been buried yet." For safety, you have already slaughtered your compatriots, let me see how your world will be governed!"

When Wu Jiao heard it, it turned out that the prince had nothing to fear when he started swearing so readily. He expected that now that the former king had just passed away, there must be no such disturbances. Naturally, Hu Qi's reputation would be bad, so he admitted it brazenly. up.

Hu Qi was so angry that his face turned blue, and he didn't know what to do. At this time, Qi Hou smiled lightly, cupped his hands and said: "It is true that this is true. The former king has just passed away, and he has not yet been buried. The emperor pardoned the world, and he should not be able to see him." Blood, let alone killing fellow citizens."

The prince let out a laugh, held his neck high, and was extremely arrogant.

However, Qi Hou changed the subject and said coldly: "But... the prince's intention is to rebel and usurp the throne. If the chaos is not settled, what is the majesty of the emperor and how can he establish his prestige? Gu has a way, please listen to the emperor."

The affair between Hu Qi and Yao Ji was found out by Qi Hou, and he held another handle in Qi Hou's hands. When Qi Hou said this, Hu Qi dared not stop, and quickly said: "Qi Gong, please tell me."

Qihou laughed, but his voice was chilly, and said: "Since the death of the former king is imminent, it is not easy to beheaded and see blood, and the prince is young, so he will be forgiven, but the crime is unforgivable, so the prince will be sentenced to death. how?"

When Qihou said this, Wu Jiu immediately shuddered, and goosebumps crawled up his back. Fortunately, he could think of such a bad idea.

Hu Qi laughed immediately, castration is good, if castration is carried out, then Wang Zitai will never have a chance to stand up again, and castration is the heaviest punishment besides death penalty in this era, many death row criminals, You can also request castration yourself to survive.

When the prince heard this, he immediately shouted angrily: "You! You!! How dare you! I am the prince established by the former king! How dare you be rude to me!"

Hu Qi said with a cold face: "Okay, Qi Gong's words are very reasonable, so let's do it like this, come here, let's drag him down for execution now!"

As he said, he turned his head to look at Yao Ji and the eunuch who were dumbfounded, and his heart was ruthless. Today's matter can't be spread. He can't solve Qihou and Wu Jiao. These two people must be solved, otherwise he will be demoted by the prince. Cursing face to face, and the matter of adultery, if it spreads, what will be my face?

Therefore, there is no need for Wu Jiu and Marquis Qi's false hands, Hu Qi has already ordered: "Come here, smash the vicious woman who murdered the prince of Qi, and kill the poisoned eunuch."

Yao Ji wailed and was about to faint, Qi Hou said coldly: "The Son of Heaven doesn't know, the toxin of the poison still needs an antidote, I'm afraid it won't be able to crack Yao Ji yet."

Upon hearing this, Hu Qi said, "What's the difficulty? Let the soldiers escort Yao Ji to get the antidote first, and then the car will crack."

Qihou laughed and said, "The Son of Heaven is wise."

Soon eunuch Yao Ji and Wang Zitui were all crushed out of the hall, Hu Qi was completely humiliated today, and Wu Jiao and Qi Hou saw it clearly.

But Hu Qi couldn't do anything about a powerful country like Qiguo, so he could only make amends and said with a smile: "I'm laughing at you, I'm laughing at you."

Qi Hou said indifferently: "It's hard for the Son of Heaven to have such a villain by his side, but congratulations to the Son of Heaven, it is also a great blessing to be able to get rid of the villain around him."

Hu Qi quickly said: "Yes, that's it, what Duke Qi said is so right!"

He said, then turned his head and said to Wu Jiu: "Young Master Qi is really wronged, let's do this, I will order someone to send some precious medicinal materials and supplements to him in a while, Young Master Qi, take good care of your body these days, if not, The widow really can't bear it, and I don't want to let it go."

Wu Jiu cupped his hands and said, "I am very grateful for the gift from the Son of Heaven."

Qihou smiled lightly and said, "Thank you, Son of Heaven."

Hu Qi hurriedly helped Marquis Qi up, and said politely: "Thank you for what? I was the prince, and when you were the son, the widow and the Duke of Qi were old friends. Now I say thank you again. Let Qi Gong see the joke. In the future, if there is any matter in Qi State, just come to the widow."

Hu Qi promised a benefit to Qihou, which was regarded as a hush money. Qihou was already very satisfied with today's results, and got the hush money again, so he was naturally in a good mood.

Just as they said these few words, the guards came back and brought the antidote very quickly. Hu Qi personally delivered the antidote to Qihou and said, "It's getting late, so I won't stay here." It's time for you two, young master is weak, you should go back and rest quickly, I will take the antidote and take care of my body, if you need any precious medicinal materials, just tell me."

Marquis Qi and Wu Jiu thanked the Son of Heaven and then left the hall. The two quickly got into the chariot and were ready to go back to the post house.

After Qihou got the antidote, he felt relaxed, looked at Wu Jiu who was dozing in the dark carriage with a smile on his face, and said indifferently, "Second brother is not energetic, is the poison hurting his body, or is he feeling sorry for your good Yaoer?"

Wu Jiu himself was sleepy to death, and now it was almost dawn, he hadn't slept all night, how could he not be sleepy, he was going to doze off as soon as he got in the car, and suddenly he heard Qi Hou talking, he couldn't hear the first sentence clearly, but the second The half sentence is quite clear, what's so good about Yao'er?

Wu Jiao thought about it carefully, it turned out to be Yao Ji, Wu Jiao almost forgot that Yao Ji is still his good sister, it seems that the original owner's son Jiao, and Yao Ji have a love story that is so evocative and lingering, according to Qi Hou, She was a woman that Young Master Jiu could not forget for a long time, she was the white moonlight cinnabar mole in his heart.

Wu Jiu suddenly had a headache, he was really sleepy, but Qi Hou misunderstood what he meant and thought he was lost and sad, so he really said helplessly: "Your Majesty is joking, then Yao Ji's death is not to be blamed, what's the matter with Jiu?" ?”

After hearing this, Marquis Qi felt a little better, but he smiled lightly, and said in a sour tone, "Is that so? The second brother is still an unexpectedly cruel person? Don't the second brother remember that he swore an alliance with Yao Jishan at that time?"

Wu Jiu secretly rolled his eyes, but he said flatly: "Small size is not a gentleman, and non-toxic is not a husband. You are wrongly praised, but you dare not take it seriously. Speaking of it, you are a real man. One sentence gave the prince the castration, and I admire him so much."

Qi Hou listened to Wu Jiu's continuous boasting that hurt him, but in fact it was quite pleasing to the ear, Qi Hou also smiled and said: "Non-toxic and not a husband, the second brother said."

The car arrived at the gate of the post house very quickly, the winter sky was gray and lit up, it seemed that it was getting late, Wu Jiao couldn't bear the sleepiness, he fell asleep in the car, and finally felt leaning against the Qihou slept soundly in his arms.

Arrived at the place, Qihou didn't wake Wu Jiu up, but hugged him in his arms, got out of the car lightly, summoned Dong Guoya and his party to wait at the gate of the post house to hear the result, a group of people were in a hurry, Seeing Qihou getting out of the car with Wu Jiao in his arms, he thought that something was wrong with Wu Jiao, but he fell asleep, and the two of them brought back the antidote, everyone was relieved.

Qihou carried Wu Jiu in his arms and walked steadily into the room, put Wu Jiao on the couch, and then softly ordered Ziqing to check the antidote brought by the medical officer, and give Wu Jiao to take after checking.

Wu Jiu slept soundly, turned over on the couch, even rode on the quilt, wrapped the quilt in his arms and fell asleep again.

Soon Ziqing came back, and the medical officer made the antidote into a soup, which was hot enough to drink, and there was no problem with the antidote, and added some tonics in it, just suitable for Wu Jiu's weak body.

Wu Jiu seemed to smell a scent in his sleep
