disguised holy monk

Nan Shuxuan quickly realized that it was probably Nan Shuyan's conspiracy.

It's a pity that even if he guessed it, there is no evidence at this time, not to mention that if something happened to the father, the crown prince's succession would be justified.

Nan Shuxuan's black eyes gradually turned cold, "Brother, wouldn't it be too obvious to poison like this under the watchful eyes of the master? Who would tell everyone so blatantly that he is the murderer? What's more, the master also drank this tea. It's really poisonous, wouldn't it also harm yourself..."

"How do you know that this is not his brilliance? Maybe it is to make people think that he was framed." Nan Shuyan snorted coldly and turned to Xuanqing, "Well, since you also drank This tea, please explain why you are not poisoned?"

Xuan Qing has Yue Jingran's Lover Gu in his body, which can be invulnerable to all poisons, but he himself should not be aware of the situation.Moreover, even if you know it, you shouldn't say it at this time.

Therefore, Xuan Qing was so bewildered that he couldn't explain it, and was speechless in a daze.

Yue on the other side was very angry when she saw this, and was about to step forward, but was grabbed by Amaro.

She turned her head bitterly, "What are you doing? I'm going to explain..."

"If you say it now, it will only add to the suspicion on him." Amaro said coldly, "They will be even more suspicious, how could there be your Xiyi Yueshi's invulnerable lover Gu on him?" ?”

Seeing Yue quietly reacted, Amaro let go of his hand, and said coldly: "At that time, not only will he be suspected of assassinating the emperor, but it will also tarnish his reputation as a holy monk."

Yue Quietly felt a chill in her heart, flustered and anxious for the first time, and said in a low voice: "Then what should I do?"

Amaro glanced at the suppressed Nan Shuxuan on the side, lowered his eyes, "Wait a minute."

Nan Shuyan had already made up his mind at this time, and said coldly: "It seems that the master has nothing to say, come..."

"Wait!" Nan Shuyan pressed on every step of the way, but Nan Shuxuan never believed that Xuan Qing would be such a person.

Nan Shuyan looked at the people who blocked him, his eyebrows covered with frost, "Third brother, the emperor's father is seriously poisoned and his life is uncertain, yet you still have the leisure to argue with me here because of a monk?"

Nan Shuxuan's black eyes were burning, and he did not evade, "Brother is right, so, isn't the most important thing right now is to treat Father as soon as possible?"

As soon as he said this, everyone around him felt that it made sense. Isn't it important to save people first at this time?

The murmurs all around made Nan Shuyan look uneasy, he pointed at Xuanqing Wuxin and the previous eunuchs, and said coldly: "Come on, put them all in prison first, and later the crown prince will be strict. Check it out."

After he finished speaking, he paused, then glanced at the missions of Wanyan Banqin and Yue Jingran, and said calmly: "This happened suddenly, please don't leave the capital for the time being."

After Nan Shuyan finished speaking, he rushed to the hall, and the forbidden army immediately stepped forward to take Xuanqing and Wuxin away.

Nan Shuxuan only had time to take a comforting look at Xuan Qing, and immediately followed.

On the other side, Yue Qingran and Wanyan Banqin were surrounded by the imperial guards. This was in the Southern Dynasty imperial palace, and they couldn't easily make a move. They could only watch Xuan Qing being taken away secretly anxious.

……

Xuanqing was locked in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, probably because Nan Shuyan and the others were busy treating the Holy Emperor for the past two days and did not come to take care of him. The people in the prison were kind to him, and the cells they arranged were clean and spacious.

Besides, the people in the imperial city, ever since they saw the scene of Xuan Qing fighting against Lei and chanting scriptures, most of them did not believe that he would do such a thing.

"Master Xuanqing is a bodhisattva with a heart and a heart for good. How could he poison the Holy One?"

"It must have been wronged!"...

Therefore, many people in the imperial city flocked to the gate of the official mansion, wanting to complain for Xuan Qing.

There are also discerning people who speculate that Xuanqing may be involved in the struggle for power, but it is a pity that such a noble monk has become a victim of power.

Only three days have passed, and the Holy Emperor is still unconscious.Although the imperial physicians controlled the toxin, they couldn't get rid of it, so they could only hope to find an antidote.

To find the antidote, we must first catch the murderer.

For a moment the prince was furious, and bluntly said that he must find out the murderer.

In the past few days, the prince's shadow guards were guarding both inside and outside the palace, and some enlightened ministers huddled at home and felt that the imperial city was about to change.

But at this time, a news that was even more unfavorable to Xuanqing came, that is, poison was also found on the sleeve of the monk's robe that Xuanqing wore that day.

This news made the people of the imperial city who were extremely dissatisfied with the detention of Xuanqing unable to believe it for a while, and the voice of resisting the government weakened.

……

On this day, Wuxin noticed that the jailer's attitude towards them seemed to have changed, and their eating was not as fine as the previous two days.

He glanced at Xuan Qing who was meditating on the cold hard wooden board, his face could not conceal his worry, "Uncle Abbot, it has been several days, and I don't know what's going on outside..."

Xuan Qing slowly opened his eyes, probably because the coldness in the prison made him pale, but the indifference and tranquility between his brows did not diminish at all.

Nan Shuyan will not kill him, at least not now.What's more, he still has a hole card.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the cell, and then a gentle voice sounded, "Is Master still used to living here?"

Xuanqing heard the words and looked at the handsome man with the golden crown and hair, and the brocade robe. The subordinates brought by the other party placed exquisite vegetarian dishes one by one in front of him.

Nan Shuyan came to see him in person.

Xuan Qing didn't speak, just sat cross-legged and gave a slight salute.

Nan Shuyan didn't mind either, he waved his hand and said, "Go down, I'll have a chat with Master alone."

Immediately, someone pulled Wuxin out, Wuxin was a little worried about Xuanqing, and wanted to struggle a bit, but was escorted down by two cold-faced men.

Only the two of them were left in the cell, looking at each other across the railing.

Xuan Qing glanced at the food in front of him, then looked at the man with a smile on the opposite side, and said flatly: "His Royal Highness, if you have something to say, just talk about it, don't beat around the bush."

At this time, the other party is still so indifferent.

The smile on Nan Shuyan's face faded slightly, but he was still gentle, and said bluntly, "I know that the master has amazing talents, so, would the master be willing to help me?"

Xuan Qing frowned, "What does His Royal Highness mean?"

"Master and the third younger brother are old acquaintances, right? But I am the crown prince. After my father's funeral, I am the one who justifiably enthroned as emperor." Nan Shuyan walked a few steps closer, his voice lowered, his expression indifferent, "I want Master, help me get rid of the third child."

He was sure that the Holy Emperor would not be able to wake up, and he had not concealed his ambition in front of Xuan Qing.Do you even want Xuanqing to frame Nan Shuxuan?

Xuan Qing's complexion changed, and the brows and eyes were as cold as ice, "The poor monk will never agree."

He said nothing more.

Nan Shuxuan's expression turned cold a little bit, since he dared to come to Xuan Qing for a showdown, he has already taken care of it in the past few days.It's just that Nan Shuxuan still has an imperial guard in his hands, so he must have a valid reason.

"Master, do you think that if this is the case, there is nothing I can do?" Nan Shuxuan looked unpredictable, and said coldly: "Master, do you know what happened to those eunuchs who have been in contact with teacups? Those people are not as comfortable as the master's life after entering here. Some people insist that they don't know, but after shedding a layer of skin, they know everything."

He actually smiled as he spoke, his eyes were full of coldness, and he said slowly: "I really want to know if the master's heart is the same as that of those lowly people."

Xuanqing's back felt a chill, and he swallowed secretly, wouldn't there be tiger stool chili oil and iron nails for fingers?

It's a pity that his high and pure personality like the bright moon does not allow the slightest fear to show on his face, and he just said indifferently, "There is no distinction between high and low, isn't it all people's hearts?"

Nan Shuyan saw that he refused to enter, and his expression gradually turned cold. He called out in a deep voice, "Come on, bring him out."

After a while, Xuan Qing was taken out of the cell and tied to the rack.

Xuan Qing: ... Come on, come on, anyway, he is not afraid of pain, but it is a pity that his beautiful skin will be scarred.

Nan Shuyan stood in the torture room, his slender fingers swept over the terrifying instruments of torture little by little, and finally stopped by the burning iron, and said calmly: "Father is in danger at this time, as long as the master hand over the antidote, This crown prince can spare your life."

Xuanqing pretended not to hear the threat hidden in his words, and slowly closed his eyes, reciting Buddhist scriptures in a low voice.

Nan Shuyan clenched his fists with heavy eyebrows.

At this moment, someone suddenly came to report, "Your Highness, someone wants to see you."
