However, as soon as he got up, the housekeeper Xu Bo rushed to knock on the door with his guards, saying that the emperor had called him into the palace in a hurry.

Opening the door of the study, Eunuch Zhao came to deliver the message, wearing a large black robe and a hood, with an anxious expression on his face.

"My lord! Come with us into the palace! Your Majesty..."

In the middle of speaking, Eunuch Zhao suddenly realized that the housekeeper and guards of the palace were still behind him, so he immediately closed his mouth and swallowed the second half of the sentence, but the anxious expression on his face became more and more obvious, making him almost turn red.

Xiao Lingfeng's heart tightened.

Could it be that something happened to him before Huo Qing could stare at him?

Although he didn't want anything to happen to Xiao Jue, both in public and in private, Xiao Lingfeng was not at ease with Xiao Jue's erratic behavior recently.

Therefore, although the look on Eunuch Zhao's face was not fake, Xiao Lingfeng could not completely trust Xiao Jue.

This is most likely a trap aimed at him.

Xiao Lingfeng immediately became vigilant, but his face remained calm: "Eunuch, wait a moment, the king will come after changing clothes."

Eunuch Zhao was so anxious that his mouth was about to burst into flames: "Oh my lord, what clothes do you need to change! If you are late, you will delay the important event!"

A sharp look glanced over, and King Jingbei, who had always been peaceful recently, suddenly showed a malicious expression. Eunuch Zhao froze, and immediately fell silent in fright.

Xiao Lingfeng went back to the house, took a bottle of Baijie Wan prepared by Ah Lian for him and Zhuang Qingyue, and took a dagger from the weapon rack and inserted it into the boot.

In short, be prepared.

A moment later, Eunuch Zhao, who was waiting outside the door anxiously, raised his eyes when he heard the movement, and saw King Jingbei coming out of the house in the same clothes just now.

There was a sudden thought in his heart, but he didn't dare to look at Xiao Lingfeng any more, he just pretended nothing happened, and hurriedly invited Xiao Lingfeng into the palace under the cover of night.

Palace...

Before approaching the Chaoyuan Hall, Xiao Lingfeng saw the brightly lit candles in the hall from a distance.

There were many guards outside the hall, surrounding the emperor's sleeping hall completely.Seeing that Eunuch Zhao was leading Jingbei King, the guards in front of the palace immediately made way for him.

Walking into the Chaoyuan Hall, you will see the new head of guards, Huo Qing, guarding the entrance of the inner hall, and the maids and doctors must be inspected and released by him when they come in and out.

"My lord, you are here."

Seeing him coming, Huo Qing relaxed his solemn expression, and immediately welcomed him into the inner hall.

Behind the screen in the inner hall, all the curtains on the dragon bed were lifted and hung up. Xiao Jue's eyes were tightly closed, and she lay on the bed with a pale face.

The bright yellow brocade quilt half-covered her waist, and her slightly thin body trembled slightly, convulsing twice from time to time.

The court lady knelt on the footrest, and kept wiping the cold sweat off Xiao Jue's forehead, while the imperial physician beside him was piercing his open chest with a long and thin silver needle.

Things are looking bad.

He asked with a sullen face, "What's going on?"

Immediately after the imperial doctor finished putting the needle in his hand, he knelt down and said, "Report to the lord, Your Majesty is poisoned!"

"What poison? Is there an antidote?"

The imperial doctor buried his head very low: "Reporting to the prince, this poison is very strange. I can't find a way to detoxify for a while, so I can only temporarily seal the acupuncture points with silver needles to protect Your Majesty's heart."

Xiao Lingfeng's face turned ugly in an instant: "Is there no one in your hospital?! Can't solve one, can't solve all of them?!"

His tone was cold and stern, and his eyes were menacing, so frightened the maids beside him that they quickly knelt down, and a group of people lay on the ground without even daring to take a breath.

The imperial doctor quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said anxiously: "My lord, calm down! The colleagues of the imperial hospital have already checked the medical books in the next room, and the results will be available soon."

His voice was trembling, but he still bravely tried his best to appease Xiao Lingfeng, for fear that the killing god would take off his head if he was not satisfied.

Xiao Lingfeng closed his eyes.

Although his younger brother is a bit confused, but after all, he is a brother connected by blood.

Whether it's because of the fragile family relationship or for the stability of the situation, he doesn't want anything to happen to Xiao Jue.

So he asked: "What is the nature of this poison? Is it life-threatening?"

Hearing that his tone eased a little, the imperial doctor breathed a sigh of relief and quickly replied: "Reporting to the lord, this poison is very strange. It seems to stimulate the heart vessels, make the heart beat too fast, and the mind is chaotic and unconscious."

He showed hesitation: "Although it is not life-threatening, if it continues like this, His Majesty's heart veins may be damaged, and even... His mind may be impaired."

"Sanity impaired?"

The imperial physician tremblingly said, "If you can't detoxify in time, Your Majesty may not be able to return to normal in the future, and your actions and words may be like childish..."

After finishing speaking, the imperial physician was already sweating for himself.To say that the emperor is like a child is already nice to hear, but if we want to put it bluntly, the emperor may be drugged into a fool directly.

He glanced at Xiao Lingfeng quietly, and saw that he was sullen and silent, did not express any opinion on his words, just stared at the void in front of him and didn't know what he was thinking, his heart was raised high.

After a while, Xiao Lingfeng still didn't see a word, so the imperial doctor followed suit.

He thought, if the emperor becomes a fool, he will definitely not be able to continue to be the emperor, and only the Jingbei King in front of him can sit in that position.

Thinking of this, the imperial physician couldn't help but start to speculate, could the emperor have something to do with the prince behind this difficult situation?

Suddenly, there were a few rapid panting sounds from behind.

Several people in the inner hall turned their gazes to the emperor on the dragon bed at the same time.Xiao Jue seemed to have just been picked up from the water, panting heavily with her eyes closed, sweating profusely all over her body.

After taking a breath, Xiao Jue opened his mouth and uttered a few silent ravings.

Xiao Lingfeng's eyes were fixed, and he quickly approached the dragon bed, sat on the bed and leaned over.

"Brother..."

Xiao Lingfeng thought he had heard wrong.

"Brother Huang..." Xiao Jue murmured his lips twice, but still persistently called him in a hoarse voice: "Brother Huang, I'm afraid..."

Xiao Lingfeng's mind was shocked, and he stiffly maintained a slight bowing movement, his eyes were full of complicated emotions.

He didn't expect that at the most helpless moment when the little emperor had nothing to rely on, the only person he thought of was Xiao Lingfeng.

He gave a wry smile in his heart, but he still couldn't help reaching out to hold the little emperor's struggling hands.

"I'm here." He slowed down his voice and comforted, "I'm here."

Xu Shi heard his voice, Xiao Jue finally calmed down, and even the brows that had been tightly frowning showed signs of relaxation.

Seeing that his condition had improved, Xiao Lingfeng looked down at the few people kneeling on the ground again.

"What are you still doing in a daze, what should you do?"

His eyes fell on the imperial physician: "Aren't you going to look up the medical classics? Don't miss any prescriptions that may detoxify. I must see the results before dawn."

The imperial physician immediately leaned over: "Your Majesty obeys." After speaking, he walked out of the inner hall with sweat on his face.

Soon, only he and Huo Qing were left in the hall.

Xiao Lingfeng: "Who placed the poison, can it be found out?"

Huo Qing frowned and said, "Reporting to the lord, I have sent someone to investigate, but the incident happened so suddenly, I only had time to block the news and guard the inner hall, but I haven't personally intervened."

Xiao Lingfeng waved his hand: "This king is guarding here, you should go and check it yourself right now."

Thinking of the news about the Suxi Army that he learned today, Xiao Lingfeng looked awe-inspiring: "Be sure to investigate carefully. The courtiers and concubines who met the emperor alone after noon today must investigate carefully."

He warned: "Don't be preconceived, even if it seems impossible, you must investigate carefully. If there is anything inconvenient to investigate, then go to Ding Yue for a loan."

Huo Qing cupped his fists: "Yes."

After the people left, Xiao Lingfeng looked at the sleeping emperor alone, thinking about the meaning of the person behind the poison.

What's the use of making Xiao Jue stupid?To test their brotherhood?Or just a prank?

He was a little confused.

At this moment, the small window on the side of the inner hall was gently pushed open, and a black figure rolled over from the half-open window and approached Xiao Lingfeng quietly.

Xiao Lingfeng's ears moved.

When the man was about to walk behind him, he struck at his vitals like lightning, but stopped abruptly in the next instant.

"Why are you here?" He looked at Zhuang Qingyue who was wearing a guard uniform in front of him, and asked with some headaches, "What's the matter with your clothes?"

Zhuang Qingyue crossed her arms: "I heard that something happened in the palace, I'll come and see. Two people can handle it more easily than one."

With that said, he straightened his cuffs and wrists, and answered Xiao Lingfeng's second question: "I asked Huo Qing for the clothes, and they fit pretty well."

Xiao Lingfeng glanced at the tightly closed door of the inner hall, stretched out his arms and pulled him to his side: "Aren't you still tired in the afternoon, sit a little longer."

Zhuang Qingyue took advantage of the opportunity and found a seat beside the bed and sat down comfortably, not caring about the rules or irregularities at all.

Looking at Xiao Lingfeng's other hand that was tightly held by Xiao Jue, Zhuang Qingyue teased: "I haven't had time to ask what happened in Huo Qing Palace, could it be that the little emperor couldn't sleep and wanted to sleep?" Are you looking for your brother to accompany you?"

Xiao Lingfeng knew that he was joking, and was about to explain it to him in detail, but his hand was suddenly grabbed with great force.

Just like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving driftwood, Xiao Jue tightly grasped Xiao Lingfeng's wrist, writhing in pain on the bed panting, while making a sobbing sound from his throat.

It looked painful.

"help me……"

"Brother, save me..."

Xiao Lingfeng frowned, and immediately stretched out his hand to seal the big hole around him. After he calmed down a little, he signaled Zhuang Qingyue to tear down the gauze curtain hanging beside the bed and tie him tightly, then took out Baijie from his arms Pill stuffed one into his mouth.

He always felt that Xiao Jue's state was a little weird, but he couldn't remember where the weirdness was at the moment, and giving Baijie Pill would always give him some peace of mind.

"Just now, Imperial Physician Liu has given him an injection, and said that he can take care of it for two hours. Why did Imperial Physician Liu get poisoned again within a quarter of an hour after leaving?"

After finishing speaking, he raised his eyes to look at Zhuang Qingyue, only to see that Zhuang Qingyue's originally teasing and relaxed expression suddenly became dignified.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Lingfeng asked.

Zhuang Qingyue: "It's not poison, it's drug addiction."

Xiao Lingfeng was taken aback: "Drug addiction?" Is it the addiction drug he was thinking of?

Zhuang Qingyue frowned: "This addictive drug is strong. Once addicted, it will consume a lot of people's mind. If you become dependent on it, if you don't take it for a day, your whole body will be like ant bites. If you quit it forcefully, you will be careless It will damage the mind and make him look like a foolish child."

After listening to Zhuang Qingyue's description, Xiao Lingfeng's eyes completely changed.

Isn't this similar to the drugs in his world?

He gritted his teeth and asked, "Is there a way to quit safely?"

"It can be solved..." Zhuang Qingyue stretched out her hand to feel Xiao Jue's wrist, "It's just that the process is too painful, and I don't know if your unlucky brother can handle it."

"What will happen if you can't bear it?" Xiao Lingfeng asked.

Zhuang Qingyue glanced at him: "Those who can't bear it, either go crazy or die."

Xiao Lingfeng's face was sullen, and his voice was extremely cold: "He has been the emperor for so many years, and he can't bear this bit of hardship, so he deserves the end of his days."

He looked down at Xiao Jue, who was in extreme pain at the moment, and said with a sneer, "Crazy or dead, these people's calculations are too good to be true!"

After checking Xiao Jue's pulse, Zhuang Qingyue withdrew her hand, and said with a half-smile, "Indeed. If the emperor is alive, they will have another puppet."

He patted Xiao Lingfeng on the shoulder: "If the emperor goes crazy and dies, they can still blame you and make you forever charged with murdering your own brother. If something goes wrong, the entire Dajing court will be destroyed." It's messed up."

Zhuang Qingyue: "This is not a conspiracy anymore, the blatant conspiracy has been thrown in your face."

Xiao Lingfeng's face became colder and colder: "I have asked Huo Qing to investigate who poisoned it. As for the Suxi Army, I also asked Ding Yue's people to screen carefully. No matter who it is, I will not let it go. his."

Having said that, he brought the topic back.After all, right now, curing Xiao Jue is equally important.

Xiao Lingfeng: "Do you know how to get rid of this drug addiction?"

Zhuang Qingyue said generously: "I don't know, but there should be an isolated pharmacopoeia from the previous dynasty in your royal library, and there are methods to solve it. As long as you have the method, Ah Lian can explain it for him by referring to it." gone."

Xiao Lingfeng breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at him with grateful eyes: "Thank you, Ah Yue. If you don't come today, I will take a lot of trash from the Taiyuan Hospital to take a detour."

Zhuang Qingyue looked at him without saying a word.

Xiao Lingfeng: "If you make a wrong step, you will fall into their path."

As he was speaking, Zhuang Qingyue suddenly leaned over, approached him at a distance that was almost close to the tip of his nose, and asked him in a voice that only two people could hear: "Xiao Jue is a complete useless person now. , don't you take this opportunity to do something?"
