The prince in the cold palace

Zhi Qin picked up Zhi Waste who had fallen on the ground, and the water bag in his hand dropped to the ground, suffocated with dust, and seemed a bit dilapidated.Frowning, Zhi Qin looked at the little face that seemed to be asleep, took a deep breath, and shouted to the rest of the people, "Seal the school field immediately! Don't let anyone go, check them all! Especially those on the grass field !"

Before the princes in the distance had time to react, Song Jing rushed over with a worried expression on his face, Zhi Qin gave the order again, his tone was a little anxious, Zhi Zhong and Zhi Yu also rushed over, Zhi Zhong was a little excited when he heard that Zhi Qin He immediately ordered the deployment with a calm face, asking Song Jingman to conduct an interrogation of all the people left behind, and personally invite the imperial physician to the school grounds.

Zhi Fei is like a small animal that has fallen into hibernation, sleeping deeply, unable to wake up even if he screams, his face is still flushed abnormally, which is more crystal clear against his fair skin, but it does not make people feel admirable .

He is poisoned.

The emperor rushed to the school grounds from Guangya Palace, the imperial physician stood beside the temporary bed, helpless, "I...have never seen this kind of poison before."

Staring suspiciously at the imperial physician for a while, the imperial physician's clothes were soaked in cold sweat, and he immediately trembled as soon as the winter's north wind blew, Yin Wuyao withdrew his gaze, and landed on the young man lying on the bed.

The sleeping face outlines a beautiful curve, as if satisfied without being disturbed by anyone, the thin lips are slightly raised, is it a good dream?

Yin Wuyao stretched out his hand to feel Zhibao's pulse with a complex expression, the chaos was like the busiest market.

The emperor narrowed his eyes dangerously.

Zhi Qin looked into the room worriedly, but the tall figure of the emperor came out. He seemed to feel that the winter sun was a bit dazzling. Yin Wuyao pressed his eyes and let out a sigh of relief, "Find out who did it. no?"

Shaking his head helplessly, Zhi Qin just wanted to speak when he heard the emperor's voice above his head, "Someone wants to harm Qin'er, does Qin'er know?"

Biting his lower lip and hesitating for a while, Zhi Qin's eyes flickered, struggling under the man's indistinct gaze, finally nodded slowly, Yin Wuyao raised Zhi Qin's chin, and looked at him carefully Watching his subtle facial expression changes, Zhi Qin lowered his eyes, not daring to look at him, until the man sighed, "Qin'er is very smart..."

After Yin Wuyao turned and left, Zhi Qin hugged his shoulders and trembled uncontrollably.

The emperor's charming voice is like poison. When it is seductive, it attracts people's yearning. When it is terrifying, it is chilling, which is really frightening. His thoughts are so deep that it makes people feel chills down the spine.

All the palace people gathered in the school grounds. Song Jingman was questioning them one by one, but after questioning them back and forth, he still couldn't find any clues. Zhi Zhong was assisting him with an anxious expression on his face. Their actions were considered fast. That's right, the person who poisoned him should still be among them, it can only be said that he concealed it too well...

Soon, the two saw the man in the black dragon robe walking towards them, with the domineering look of an emperor in his steps, without complicated etiquette, Yin Wuyao walked up to the palace servants who were kneeling on the ground, and took a brief look , kicked out a humble little eunuch not long after.

The two looked at the emperor in surprise, and the emperor let the shadow guards around him suppress the man's movements without changing his expression. He slid one hand to the cheek of the little eunuch, groping nimbly with his slender fingers. The man's human skin mask was removed, revealing a sharp outline.

Yin Wuyao laughed in a low voice, "The third prince of Rongli, Liwa?"

Li Wa would never have thought that someone would be able to see through his disguise. Li Wa, who is well-informed in disguise and acting skills, stared at the aloof emperor in surprise, his eyes were rounded, with a look of fear on his face. As if being calm and unhurried when being interrogated, he struggled unwillingly, "Let go of me! Since you know that I am the third prince of Rongli, you still have the courage to arrest me!"

However, the more he struggled, the harder the shadow guards restrained him, Liwa's arm was pinned down and dislocated.

Seeing the mocking arc of the man's mouth, countless expressions flashed across Li Wa's face, and finally his face turned ashen.

Yin Wuyao glanced coldly at Song Jingman and Zhizhong, "Let him hand over the antidote to you, so you can cross-examine him."

After finishing speaking, the emperor shook his sleeves, as if he was dissatisfied with dust, and returned to the room where Zhi Fei lay with a slight frown.

Left Zhizhong and Song Jingman looking at each other, then glanced at the thin layer of human skin mask on the ground, suddenly felt terrified, how did the emperor see the clues behind the elaborate disguise, and what else could he do? not reach?

The imperial physician tried all kinds of methods, tried all kinds of precious medicinal materials, acupuncture, and medicinal baths, but Zhifei still showed no signs of waking up.

The emperor waved his hand, "Forget it, you quack doctors can't cure Rong Li's poison, step down..."

A little tired, Yin Wuyao retreated from the imperial physician and all the courtiers, and sat by the bed, quietly looking at the sleeping person on the bed.In the past few years, he hasn't looked at Zhifei so carefully for a long time. His fine eyelashes are curved and long, like two brushes, occasionally trembling slightly, as if he was restless and his face was abnormal. The blush made Zhi Fei even more lovely, like a ripe fruit waiting to be plucked, and the same bright red lips.

Yin Wuyao unconsciously put his finger on the man's lips, carefully tracing the lines on Zhifei's lips, quietly and gently.

With a helpless tone, "Are you always so easy to trust others..."

Zhibai's eyebrows trembled slightly, as if responding to the emperor's words.

He smoothed the slightly frowned eyebrows with his hands, and spit out a long breath on Yin Wuyao's hands, which was warm and a little itchy, and he couldn't help thinking, if Zhi Fei didn't wake up like this, just kept watching by the bedside. He, the feeling of peace of mind seems to be good.

Are you really tired?

Walking into the dungeon again, Zhiqin still couldn't like this place, his face was full of gloom, and beside him was his companion, Du Ruo, the son of the minister of the Ministry of Industry. calm.

Zhi Qin walked in front in a panic, "How did I know it would be related to Rong Li! I thought it was just ordinary poisoning..." Both fists were clenched tightly, and the white palms were clearly knuckles. With a creaking voice, Zhiqin glared at Du Ruo with a rare annoyance, "Father has already determined that I dragged the Seventh Brother into the water on purpose, and not only the Father has the full authority to handle the matter this time, but also the Seventh Emperor. Brother’s room won’t let me get any closer!”

Du Ruo patted his head belatedly, "Is your highness worried that after the new year, your majesty's decision will change..."

Feng Mou stared fiercely at the other party, Zhiqin grabbed Du Ruo's skirt and walked into the depths of the dungeon, Du Ruo waved his hands uncomfortably, "Your Highness, Your Highness... Oh, you're so blah, be careful what your majesty will do again!" What can I misunderstand..."

In the depths of the dungeon, there is a spacious torture room, brightly lit, and various instruments of torture are sizzling in the brazier, but Liwa is only tied to the rack, and none of the instruments of torture greeted him. .

Li Wa snorted weakly, "Who should I be... Why, why did the second prince come here after leaving the eldest prince? You didn't poison you to death, it was your luck! Ask me to confess, I didn't trick it, I put the poison on, and the antidote... there is no!"

Li Wa smiled triumphantly, "If you have the ability, go to Rongli to find it yourself! Even if you kill me, you won't tell me! Haha!"

Now everyone in the palace knows what happened. The emperor was furious. Not only did he thoroughly investigate the lurking spies in the palace, but he also demoted Song Jingman and other imperial guards to two ranks. She no longer dotes on him like she used to. In the past, Zhi Qin, even if he played petty temper and did whatever he wanted, Yin Wuyao would muddle along and turn a blind eye.But this time, Yin Wuyao no longer pampered him with regard to the state system and political power.

Zhiqin has been very irritable recently, and he was even a little nervous. Every look of the emperor seemed to him to have endless meaning. , How can he relax, every prince is likely to be elected as the crown prince after the new year.

Recently, various forces have begun to woo and strengthen their own camp. Even the third prince Zhiyu, who usually doesn't say anything, has made some moves, let alone Zhiqin's biggest competitor, Zhizhong. All of them may affect the future of the princes, not to mention such scandals!

He flicked a whip at Li Wa angrily, the sound of flesh and blood ripped apart in the empty torture room, Li Wa snorted, his eyes were full of mockery at Zhi Qin, Zhi Qin waved his hand and wanted to give another whip, but was caught by his side Du Ruo stopped him, Du Ruo looked at Li Wa, met those sly eyes, thoughtfully, "Your Highness, don't act rashly, since we can't get anything from the third prince, why don't we get something from him, I think... ...Your Majesty also thinks so, just wait and see what happens."

Du Ruo's hand firmly grasped Zhi Qin's arm, Zhi Qin was sobered up by the slightly painful touch, raised his eyes to meet Du Ruo's burning face, nodded slightly, dropped the whip and walked out of the dungeon.

Li Wa laughed wildly behind him.

After Zhiyu got out of the court hall, he saw two worried faces at the corner of the corridor. His eyes were full of sadness, unwillingness, urgency and helplessness. He nodded slightly towards them and looked around. The ministers in twos and threes Before they had gone far, they gave them a wink to follow.

"Even I... can't go in without the imperial father's order," looked at Mu Ao and Wen Han apologetically, and looked at his palm with words, slowly clenched into a fist, "poison, maybe there is still The antidote can be cured, but people may not be saved..."

Wen Han stared at Zhiyu with wide eyes, "What is the Third Highness talking about..."

Zhiyu shrugged feebly, "You know that the story of the third prince Rongli sneaking into the palace in the court hall has been widely spread, and everyone said that this time he got a lot of bargaining chips and wanted to exchange it with Rongli. "

When Wen Han heard it, the meaning behind the words was self-evident, and his voice trembled a little, "Then, Your Highness..."

Zhiyu sighed, looked at Mu Ao, who had a livid face, and Wen Han, who had already lost his soul, "Do you think that the third prince Rongli was captured, and it was only worth an antidote? Brother Dahuang insisted on using force tiles to exchange for it." For the three border cities that were occupied, many ministers at the court expressed their approval..."

"More than half of the ministers agreed, even the emperor had to do this..."

Zhiyu seemed to be thinking of something, his eyes were full of sadness, "It's a pity that I can't overcome all opinions by myself."

Wen Han's sobs gradually grew louder, while Mu Ao didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, a little bloody red dripped from his clenched fist, and it fell on the cold stone steps, which was shocking.

The emperor came down from court and returned to his bedroom. The young man on the bed who had been asleep for nearly three days was still breathing long and hard, as if he didn't care when the sky fell.

Covering the young man's sideburns, the emperor buried his head in the young man's neck wearily, and murmured in a sad voice, "It turns out that you are so lonely, in such a huge court, no one will care about you who is dying... ..."

After thinking for a while, Yin Wuyao said again, "Is it not me who made you like this, but the palace who made you..."

Heaving a deep breath, Yin Wuyao straightened his body and left the disabled bed.Going back to the desk to review the memorials, after only a few copies, my eyes were a little tired, the person below presented a beautifully bound official document, Yin Wuyao only took a few glances, and then smiled coldly, " The news about Rong Li must have been learned too soon..."
