According to the Imperial Hospital, the mouthful of blood the emperor sprayed was not due to a recurrence of an old disease, nor was it due to emotional agitation, but poisoning.
What kind of poison is in it, and how it will be poisoned, it is not something that everyone can speculate on their own.
Since then, the emperor has never been able to get out of bed.Relying on the heavy medicine, just hanging on to his breath, his sanity is becoming less and less clear.
A few months passed in a flash.
It is already winter.Jiang Zhaoyi's child was born on a windy and snowy day.Perhaps what Chongxi said might not be useless, the emperor's sanity became much clearer in those two days, and he even personally named his second son, Zhen.
Lin Chaohui learned the news because on the day Zhao Zhen was born, he saw his first visitor to the secret cell in several months.
The eunuch Wang Xian was in charge of the chief inspector of ceremonies.
Because it was a royal secret prison, each prisoner was kept alone, and Lin Chao hadn't seen anyone other than the jailer for a long time.
The moment I saw Wang Xian, I still felt a little cordial.
"How is Lin Daizhao recently?" Wang Xian glanced around, keeping the layout of the cell in mind.He was also ordered to come here, and he had to report to others what he saw in the cell when he returned.
Lin Chao nodded and said, "It's all good. It's just that it's boring to be alone."
Wang Xian clapped his hands and beckoned someone to send a pen and paper, saying: "These pens and paper are all prepared for Lin Daizhao. If there is nothing to do in the long days, they can just pass the time."
Lin Chao took the pen and paper through the fence, put it aside but didn't look at it again.
Wang Xian coughed and said with a dry smile: "If Lin Daizhao wants anything else, just ask."
"Don't dare to trouble your father-in-law."
Wang Xian waved to him, and Lin Chao approached the iron rail impatiently.Wang Xian whispered in his ear: "The man asked me to tell the edict, don't worry, everything depends on him."
Lin Chao smiled: "Yes, there is him."
----
A few days later, Wang Xian visited again.
Different from last time, this time he didn't bring other little eunuchs with him, and he was in a hurry.
Lin Chao was not surprised by his arrival, and asked, "Are you here?"
Wang Xian turned his head and said, "Our family came this time by the order of the Holy One."
Lin Chao smiled and said, "There is no imperial decree, right?"
Wang Xian looked distressed: "Lin Daizhao, this..."
Lin Chao sat up from the bed made of hay, put on his coat and tied the belt.
"It's inconvenient to leave an imperial decree for this kind of thing. It's the Holy Majesty's own order. Let the prince come and see me off?"
Wang Xiandao: "Since Lin Daizhao knows about it, the slaves don't say much."
Lin Chao stretched out his hands from the iron bars, palms facing up, and spread them out.
"Bring it."
Wang Xian put the small porcelain bottle in his palm.
The porcelain bottle is cold and delicate, just like that person.
Lin Chao raised the porcelain vase to his eyes, watched it carefully for a moment with the light from the small window on the high wall, and sighed: "It's finally here."
Wang Xian explained: "The Holy Majesty is just such a son..." No matter how many mistakes the prince made, the emperor had to cover him up.Therefore, the palace servants who knew the prince and Jiang Zhaoyi were all doomed to be sacrificed when the emperor decided to let Jiang Zhaoyi give birth to a son.That newborn was the emperor's second son, and could only be the emperor's son.
It is the result of the emperor's lenient treatment that Lin Chao can live to this day.
"I know." Lin Chao smiled, "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry. Please tell your master that Lin Chao has never complained."
Wang Xiandao: "Slaves and servants should report the truth to the sage."
Lin Chao said "Master", but Wang Xian replied "Holy Majesty", obviously understood what Lin Chao meant, and he was careful not to let others be suspicious.
Lin Chao pulled out the cork of the porcelain bottle, shook the bottle twice, and fixed one eye on the mouth of the bottle to see the clear and translucent liquid inside.
"Lin Daizhao..."
"Wang Gonggong..." Lin Chao tried his best to smile, "I'm still a little afraid of pain. Can I ask Wang Gonggong to borrow a jug of wine to strengthen my courage?"
Wang Xian hesitated for a moment.As early as when he entered the palace at a young age and had one leg broken because he offended the eunuch, and was later rescued by King Ning, he had already given his life to King Ning and his son.For so many years, no matter how much power and rewards the emperor gave him, the eunuch who thought he was inferior to others never changed his mind.But this Lin Daizhao was indeed very friendly to him ten years ago.It wasn't because he was afraid of his power that he pretended to be friendly and close, but because he really regarded him as a person, not an eunuch.
"Our family will send someone to bring a jug of wine." Wang Xian himself did not leave. Although he had the idea of repaying Lin Chao, he would not give up the mission of this trip because of this.
Not only did the emperor order him to give Lin Chao poisoned wine.
His master didn't stop him either.
So he had to watch Lin Chao drink the poisoned wine seriously, so that he could feel at ease.
After a while, a young eunuch brought a jug of wine.
Lin Chao thanked him, then raised his head and drank the poisoned wine.
Wang Xiandao: "Lin Daizhao, don't you want to drink this pot of wine?"
Lin Chao clutched his severe pain in his lower abdomen, and smiled at him: "It's not too late to drink when the pain is unbearable."
The poisonous wine is strong, but it cannot kill people immediately.Wang Xian couldn't bear to see Lin Chao's cry of pain in a low voice, so he retreated outside the cell door, determined to wait until the effect of the medicine was over before coming in to check again.
With trembling hands, Lin Chao spread the hay under the bed, spilled the wine in the pot, and took out a pair of flint and steel from the hole in the corner.
Perhaps it was left by the previous occupant of this cell, not sure what it was intended for.
But when Lin Chao saw the pair of flint and steel, he had only one thought.Since death is inevitable, it is better to die cleanly, so as not to make people laugh for nothing.
He had been poisoned like this, his lips were purple, and his face was dry and yellow, it must be ugly.
He didn't want to be seen by anyone, especially not by that person.
Lin Chao smiled self-deprecatingly after wiping it a few times without seeing any sparks.He could no longer feel the pain, and the strength in his hands was gradually disappearing.
If it doesn't ignite again, I'm afraid it won't ignite forever...
A shower of sparks from the flint and steel caught the dry grass sprinkled with spirits, and the fire spread rapidly.Soon, the cell was engulfed in flames.
Lin Chao was so choked by the thick smoke that he coughed repeatedly, and felt that he was about to cough up his heart and lungs.
Thinking of Wang Xian's possible reaction after returning to his command, he laughed silently.
He really never complained.
From the first time he entered Prince Ning's mansion ten years ago and heard the man call him master, didn't he know the end of today?
Dense water.
When he heard the news, Zhao Tuo accidentally knocked over the candlestick.The fireworks of the candlestick burned a black hole on the sandalwood table, and then it was powerlessly extinguished.
How can it walk in the water?
Wang Xian was still kneeling on the ground, Zhao Tuoqiang said calmly: "My lord, please get up and report today's events in detail."
After listening to Wang Xian's words, Zhao Tuo was silent for a long time, and Fang said, "He... asked for the wine?"
"Yes."
Silence again.
"He said...he never blamed me?"
"Yes."
"It's inconvenient at night, so I won't stay with the prince."
Wang Xian got up and said: "Recently, the palace restrictions have become more stringent, and the slaves are about to rush back to the palace. This joint, please be careful, master."
Zhao Tuo suppressed the killing intent in his heart, and waited for Wang Xian to leave before slashing his sword on the bricks and stones where he had knelt.He can't kill Wang Xian yet.This person who often followed the emperor was very useful and a great help to him.
Moreover, the decree to kill Lin Chao was made by the emperor.
Before Wang Xian was ordered to go to the secret prison, he also asked him for instructions.
In order not to expose the dark chess buried in the palace, he did not agree to the proposal to quietly rescue Lin Chao.
So far, there have been no mistakes.
Lin Chao drew the picture of separating the emperor and the prince for him.The emperor was seriously ill and was about to die, and the evidence of the prince's poisoning was already in his hands.No one has noticed the layout of the palace yet. As soon as the prince ascends the throne, he will join forces with the Northern Xinjiang royal family to release news and attack the prince.Lin Chao and the group of guards were all dead, and there was no proof that Jiang Zhaoyi had an affair with the crown prince, and there would only be more and more rumors.Plus that child who was already born...
Zhao Tuo deduced the whole plan in his mind again, the more sure he was, the more upset he became.
Lin Chao...how would he think of himself?
All these things in the past ten years are all just paving the way for today's use, and even the professed liking is a deliberate way to win over?
Or even if you like it, it can't match the strong desire to aspire to the top of the country?
Which one would be better than the other.
He didn't have to use the Lin Dynasty to separate the emperor and the prince.As long as any dark chess buried in the palace is randomly thrown, this can be done.
But he still gave up on Lin Chao.
Because from the moment the emperor detained Lin Chao, he began to waver.
He was terrified by the shaking.
The persistence of more than ten years began to disintegrate so easily... No, he must not become a person like King Ning.
The emperor wanted to use Lin Chao to threaten him—perhaps in the emperor's heart, the person directly threatened was Yang Qingshan—so he left this person first, so that the emperor could not do anything.
it's good now.
There is no one in the hands of the emperor that he can fear.
No matter what he wants to do, he can do it to his heart's content.
but--
Wang Xian said that he hadn't touched the pen and paper he had sent over, and it was still on the table intact until his death.
Wang Xian said that in the cell there was only a turf of hay, the mattress was thin, and the window was close. After standing for a while, the cold wind made my forehead ache.
Wang Xian said, Wang Xian said...
He didn't want to hear what Wang Xian said, but apart from what Wang Xian said, he couldn't imagine what the last period of that person's life was like.
What kind of poison is in it, and how it will be poisoned, it is not something that everyone can speculate on their own.
Since then, the emperor has never been able to get out of bed.Relying on the heavy medicine, just hanging on to his breath, his sanity is becoming less and less clear.
