After wearing a sick and weak cannon fodder as a prince

Xiangsheng's eyes widened at this moment, his eyes were full of fear: "I was wronged, His Majesty will definitely clear me up, if you dare to do anything to me before that, King Nanling will not let you go! "

Qin Xuechuan sneered disdainfully when he heard that he said this: "Really? You are just a subject, to put it bluntly, a slave above the court, do you think you can threaten me with my father and uncle? ?”

Xiangsheng trembled all over when he heard it, Qin Xuechuan took the blunt knife and cut his shoulder fiercely, and then gouged it off with all his strength.

"Don't forget, you are just a dog by my uncle's side. Now that you have been exposed, my uncle will not keep your dispensable dog in order to avoid suspicion."

Xiangsheng's screams echoed in the prison cell, and he saw that His Royal Highness, who was usually sickly, would treat him like this.

Today is different from the past, he now understands that he is in prison and being held in the hands of others, no matter what he says, Qin Xuechuan will not pay attention to him.

Xiangsheng tasted the pain of flesh and blood, and quickly turned the direction of the wind: "I know I'm wrong, I know I'm wrong, I beg His Royal Highness to be magnanimous and forgive me."

Qin Xuechuan looked at him and smiled sinisterly: "Since you are begging for mercy, then answer Ben Gong's question properly, otherwise—" As soon as he finished speaking, he cut the wound severely again.

Xiangsheng's eyes were filled with pain, his face turned pale in an instant, he replied repeatedly: "I obey, I obey, what does His Royal Highness want to ask... I must know everything, please forgive me. "

After Qin Xuechuan heard about his begging for mercy, he pulled the blunt knife out of his body, and put it on the table where the instruments of torture were placed.

Qin Xuechuan turned around, and asked unhurriedly with his hands behind his back: "I ask you, have you ever poisoned me?"

When Xiangsheng heard him ask this question, his expression was astonished, his mouth was open, and he couldn't say a word.

Qin Xuechuan looked at him: "You tell the truth, I will not punish you for poisoning you. But if you say something false to me, I will make you feel worse than death."

Qin Xuechuan smiled again when he said this: "I heard that there are several beautiful wives and concubines in your room, and you have quite a few children."

Hearing this, Xiangsheng hurriedly said: "I said! I said!" At this moment, he changed his words to "the guilty minister" and said: "The guilty minister has indeed poisoned your food."

After hearing his words, Qin Xuechuan understood.At least he now knows that such a person did harm him.

Qin Xuechuan continued to ask: "When did you poison it?"

Xiangsheng lowered his head, and said weakly, "Yes...it was before the [-]th August festival last year."

Qin Xuechuan remembered after hearing this, it was before he crossed over.It turned out that Xiangsheng was responsible for his poisoning.

Qin Xuechuan expressed the question in his heart again: "King Nanling is my uncle, who wants to support me, and you are the person next to King Nanling. Since uncle wants to support me, how can you help me?" Why do you want to run counter to uncle and want to kill Bengong?"

After hearing Qin Xuechuan's question, Xiangsheng lowered his head, his eyes seemed to be trying to hide something.He continued: "It's all the criminal minister's own idea, because I don't like His Highness's cowardice and incompetence, and I think you are not worthy to sit in the position of prince, so it is the criminal minister's own idea."

Qin Xuechuan could tell right away that he was lying, and he walked up to Xiangsheng again, picked up the knife and cut his hand severely.This time the flesh on the back of his hand was cut off, exposing the white bones.

"Ah—" Xiangsheng's cry of pain echoed in the cell again.

Qin Xuechuan smiled again, his smile looked so scary in Xiangsheng's eyes.

Qin Xuechuan said in a soft voice: "It seems that I am still too gentle with my lord, so my lord refuses to tell me the truth."

The blood on Xiangsheng's hand dripped down along the iron chain, and the blood splashed onto Qin Xuechuan's clothes, Qin Xuechuan looked down with some disgust.

Xiangsheng continued to quibble: "The guilty minister... is telling the truth."

After Qin Xuechuan heard his words, his face suddenly changed. He put the knife aside, and then ordered: "Come on, cut off his hands and feet!"

After Xiangsheng heard this, his eyes widened angrily, and his eyes were bloodshot.His eyes widened as if they were about to pop out.

He hurriedly cried and begged for mercy: "Your Highness... Your Highness, wait a minute, the criminal... the criminal just say it."

After Qin Xuechuan heard what he said, he turned his head and smiled softly at him: "My lord should have said no to this a long time ago, so as not to suffer some flesh and blood."

Xiangsheng gasped in pain, and he confessed honestly: "Because... because I am not a member of King Nanling, and... the guilty minister knows one thing..."

After hearing what he said, Qin Xuechuan asked without a trace of expression on his face: "What's the matter?"

Xiangsheng continued to answer: "Because the guilty minister knows...Your Highness, you will never become the emperor."

After hearing this, Qin Xuechuan said, "Who told you that?"

Xiangsheng hesitated for a moment, but he refused to speak.

Seeing that he refused to speak, Qin Xuechuan shouted, "Come here."

After Xiangsheng heard it, he hurriedly said: "The guilty minister said...the guilty minister said it! It was...it was Concubine Shu who told the minister. Concubine Shu said that any of the princes has the possibility of becoming the emperor, but you, Your Highness... …impossible……"

Qin Xuechuan heard him say this with a lot of doubts, so he looked back at him: "So she said, you believe it? Your lord doesn't seem like such a careless person?"

Xiangsheng lowered his head, and continued to answer with a pale face: "Of course the guilty minister doesn't believe it. Even though the criminal minister is from the Nanlingxiang family, the criminals of the criminal minister's lineage have long been exiled to Lingnan. Isn't the king of Nanling Treat me sincerely, just like your Highness said, King Nanling just treats me like a dog beside him. All the crimes I committed were blocked by King Nanling, in fact, the guilty minister had a second heart .”

"However, this does not mean that you poisoned Bengong for this."

Xiangsheng went on to say: "Of course, the guilty minister will certainly not commit the capital crime of punishing the nine clans just because of this. Because Concubine Shu said, Your Highness, you will definitely not live until your Majesty dies. At that time, you will be the most hopeful." Her two sons are enthroned, so she has been secretly contacting the minister, and she holds great power in the harem, and she is very popular. The criminal minister was also fascinated at the time, so..."

Qin Xuechuan still felt that there was something wrong with his words, so he continued to ask: "Why is she so sure that this palace will not live to the day of enthronement?"

When Xiangsheng heard Qin Xuechuan asking him such a question at this moment, he suddenly laughed uncharacteristically: "Your Highness, don't you know your own body? Your Majesty is now in the prime of life, but you are always lingering on the sick bed. Everyone can see it." Come out."

Qin Xuechuan frowned when he heard him mocking himself like this, he thought: Forget it, as for why Concubine Shu knew that he would not survive Qin Yuan, let's not mention it for now.

He continued to ask: "So, everything you did was ordered by Concubine Shu?"

Xiangsheng nodded: "Yes... Concubine Shu has been coveting the crown prince for a long time, she has held the power of the harem for a long time, and has two sons and a daughter by her side, so she secretly planned and tried to murder His Highness many times."

Hearing what he said, Qin Xuechuan asked again: "Then how did she harm Bengong, you should explain it clearly to Bengong now."

Xiangsheng lowered his head and pondered for a while, and after a while, the corners of his wrinkled mouth moved: "Many... The guilty minister doesn't remember much, the criminal minister only remembers that Concubine Shugui spread rumors to slander His Highness, and that she once assassinated His Highness during the winter hunting .It’s just that criminal officials rarely participate in it, so they only know about these things.”

I see.It seems that many of the things he encountered had something to do with Concubine Shu. Concubine Shu wanted to kill him not for a day or two, but he had seen Concubine Shu once.She and her two sons are not very smart, why are they so meticulous in arranging a murderous plan.

Qin Xuechuan always felt that these things were not that simple.

Qin Xuechuan turned to look at Xiangsheng again: "Besides these, do you know anyone else who harmed me?"

Xiangsheng lowered his head again, as if he was thinking carefully, then he raised his head to look at Qin Xuechuan: "There is one more thing..."

Seeing that his expression was different from just now, Qin Xuechuan asked, "What's the matter?"

"When the guilty minister was by Concubine Shu's side, I overheard her saying...that it was...Your Majesty..."

When he said this, he hesitated, Qin Xuechuan frowned again, and he continued to ask: "What's the matter, father?"

Xiangsheng continued: "The guilty minister also heard rumors...it is said that His Majesty had a blood test with His Highness back then."

Qin Xuechuan was startled when he heard this sentence.

Blood test?

Qin Yuan is so nice, what are you doing with him for a blood test?

Xiang Muling doesn't seem like such a casual person...she is in the harem, who else can she give birth to besides the emperor?Moreover, Qin Xuechuan had inquired many times that Xiang Muling entered the palace as a concubine back then, and the emperor loved her very much, so she had no reason to betray the emperor.

Since the emperor has already had a blood test with Qin Xuechuan, and he is living well now, it means that he is Qin Yuan's biological son, otherwise Qin Yuan would not have kept him to this day.

However, the ancient superstitious blood test is not accurate, as long as the blood of the same density can be mixed, maybe...

Qin Xuechuan didn't dare to think about it anymore, he asked again: "Then, does King Nanling have a different heart for Da Chu?"

Xiang Sheng answered him: "I don't know about this guilty minister, but the criminal minister has been by the prince's side for so many years, and he hasn't noticed that the prince has any ulterior motives."

Qin Xuechuan asked again: "Is there anything else besides this?"

Xiangsheng: "No... not anymore... Your Highness, please forgive me!"

Qin Xuechuan turned and left after hearing these words, and he handed the knife stained with Xiangsheng's blood to Chang Jianzhi who was still guarding outside the cell.

Before leaving, he smiled softly and asked, "Will you write down what you just said?"

Chang Admonishment: "According to His Highness's instructions, everything has been written down."

Qin Xuechuan looked at him and smiled: "You should understand what should be handed over to the palace and what should not be handed over to the palace."

Chang Jianzhi replied: "This subordinate understands."

Qin Xuechuan glanced at the blunt knife: "Wait until he has confessed everything, Ling Chi."

Chang Jianzhi suddenly trembled when he heard his words: "Your Highness..."

"Everything is up to my own palace, just do as you are told." After speaking, Qin Xuechuan wiped the blood from his hands and walked out.

Chang Jianzhi replied behind him: "Yes, I obey!"
