Emperor Chengxian vomited blood suddenly, which made everyone dumbfounded. The hall was in chaos for a while, and anxious people were everywhere.
Immediately, he was nailed to the spot by a sudden sound: "Come here, surround the entire palace. The emperor has not woken up. No one is allowed to leave the palace, or they will be shot!"
As soon as Huo Xiang said these words, the hall fell into deathly silence.
But after the silence, there was a chaos like crazy. The officials used to be quite afraid of Huo Xiang, after all, they were Huo's family.
But if what Mr. Xie said just now is true, Huo Xiang will be sent to prison, and he is not allowed to leave the palace, and under the fear and anxiety, he becomes bolder.
"Huo Xiang, what do you mean by this? Is this to take advantage of your anger to vomit blood to plot against the emperor?"
"That's right, maybe what Mr. Xie said is true, Huo Xiang just wants to confuse the harem and achieve some ulterior motives!"
"The emperor is so angry about these things that he vomits blood, why should we be trapped in the palace and not allowed to leave the palace?" If Huo Xiang wanted to kill people to silence them, would they survive tonight?
Huo Xiangqi laughed, and with a swipe, he pulled out the sword from the waist of a guard next to him: "The truth is, this is for your own good, after all... the emperor was poisoned at the banquet, and the murderer has not been found yet. Anyone is possible! Before the investigation, everyone is suspected, especially the one who intends to leave the palace!"
As soon as Huo Xiang said this, the officials who were still chattering seemed to be strangled, and the whole hall fell silent for a while:? ?
What's the meaning?Poisoned?Who was poisoned?How could the emperor be poisoned?
Huo Xiang looked around, but stepped forward, and lifted up the dangling right hand of Emperor Cheng Xian, who had been unconscious for a long time, although he no longer vomited blood.
Everyone raised their eyes and gasped, only to see Emperor Chengxian on the dragon chair with a strange rosy face.
But the lips are blue and purple, not only that, the nails on the tips of the five fingers are also glowing with a kind of almost black purple, that color looks weird and frightening under the palace lamp in the hall.
Jing Changji also took this scene into his eyes, and was very surprised. He obviously didn't expect that Emperor Cheng Xian would vomit blood because of being poisoned.
At first, he thought that Emperor Cheng Xian was furious after hearing those things, which triggered his old disease, which made him seriously ill in the future, but unexpectedly, he was poisoned.
Then the so-called serious illness in the first life, isn't it also poisonous?
Everyone from the Imperial Hospital arrived quickly, and the envoy of Liang Yuan even personally checked on Emperor Chengxian, because no one dared to disturb Emperor Chengxian without knowing the situation, so they were only carried to the soft couch at the back of the hall and placed there.
The envoy of Liang Yuan took the pulse of Emperor Chengxian, the more he checked his face, the more panicked and uneasy, he opened his mouth a few times, trembling and unable to speak out.
Concubine Liu Gui was frightened for a long time, and she couldn't stop wiping her tears with a handkerchief. She didn't want something to happen to Emperor Chengxian, but also worried that Emperor Chengxian would wake up and investigate the events of the year. If it was exposed, she might be alive. It can't be done.
Concubine Liu Gui went to look at Huo Xiang with a sullen face, and the Empress Dowager Huo and Empress Huo who rushed over. Behind the three stood the princes headed by Prince Rui, including the prince with a gloomy face.
Empress Huo looked sad: "What happened to the emperor? How could he be poisoned if he was so good? But the poison at the banquet tonight?"
Court Envoy Liang was uncertain, but in the end he hesitated a bit, and softly said something poisonous: "None of the utensils used by the emperor at the banquet are poisonous."
Everyone just breathed a sigh of relief, but Court Envoy Liang immediately said: "But the emperor was indeed poisoned, or the most poisonous, and he was called..." At this moment, Court Envoy Liang couldn't help but look in one direction. After looking at it, he carefully uttered a few words, "Nine Turns Broken Soul Grass."
As soon as these five words came out, Wei Yin, who was standing there carelessly and lazily, frowned, and then Empress Dowager Huo looked back suddenly, her eyes were unbelievable.
Court Envoy Liang continued softly: "Maybe it's because the old minister is not good at learning, or should I let another imperial doctor take a look?"
The Empress Dowager Huo was shocked and her face was ugly. As the envoy of the Taiyuan Hospital, Liang Yuanshi has the best medical skills. What he said was just out of fear.
Empress Dowager Huo frowned and suddenly launched an attack: "Prince Rui, don't you think we should give Aijia an explanation?"
The people present were taken aback for a moment, because the front hall and the back hall were only separated by a short distance, and the empress dowager's arrogant accountability made all the officials in the outer hall also stunned:? ?What's the meaning?What is the nine-turn soul-severing grass?Why did the Empress Dowager ask Prince Rui to explain this?
Jing Changji's expression was also the same. He didn't realize anything when he heard the strange name, but when the Queen Mother's words came out, Jing Changji had an ominous premonition.
He had heard that Wei Yin brought poison from his mother's womb. It is said that in order to restrain this poison, he used another poison to suppress it to achieve a balance. Then the poison Wei Yin used to suppress it could not be... this so-called nine-turn off Soul grass?
The name sounds like poison.
Someone wanted to blame Wei Yin while getting rid of Emperor Chengxian?
So at present, the most likely person is the prince, but where did the prince get the nine-turn soul-severing grass?Xia Houqian gave it to him?
Wei Yin looked at Empress Dowager Huo expressionlessly, and looked around indifferently at the people who came over: "This king indeed has the Nine Turns Soul Breaking Herb, but doesn't the Queen Mother not know why this king has this poisonous weed? This king uses this poisonous herb to restrain his body. It’s too late for the poison, knowing that I have this kind of poison, why not use it for the emperor? Is it because others don’t know that it’s my king’s poison?”
His mocking expression made Empress Huo regain her sanity a little bit, but she still maintained a skeptical attitude.
Wei Yin's eyes fell on the rest of the people: "The queen mother suspects this king, why not first investigate the fact that the queen and Huo Xiang used a fake prince to pretend to be the real prince in order to confuse the royal family's blood, oh of course, and the concubine Liu Gui said by the old man is Huo The matter of sending her into the palace, including the life experience of the child in Concubine Liu Gui's womb, is worth investigating carefully."
Empress Dowager Huo learned that the emperor was poisoned and rushed over, and she didn't even know what happened in the palace before, she was taken aback when she heard this: "What?"
Soon someone came forward and told the previous story. The empress dowager's face was completely ugly, and she trembled because she was too shocked, especially when someone handed over Li Tongwan's portrait, the empress dowager suddenly looked at the prince.
The prince originally lowered his eyes, but at this moment his figure was even shaking. His mind was in a mess at the moment, and he was even panicked. The exposure of his life experience was nothing to fear at this moment. It was poisoned, but Xia Houqian said that it was only a small amount, and the poison would not occur once.
But how could it be such a coincidence that just after he delivered the poisoned ginseng soup, the father vomited blood?
The prince was terrified that Xia Houqian was lying to him, tricking him into poisoning his father!
If it was really poisoned by him himself, is there any possibility for him to survive?
Things exceeded expectations, Empress Dowager Huo was also dumbfounded, she immediately understood Wei Yin's meaning, there were many people present who wanted to poison Emperor Chengxian more than him.
Crown Prince, Huo Xiang, Concubine Liu...all possible!
Everyone in the back hall had different thoughts, and the officials in the front hall also stood there and dared not sit there. They might not even think about going out of the palace tonight, let alone tonight, even tomorrow night!
Sure enough, soon the Empress Dowager Huo ordered the commander of the imperial guards to take everyone to another palace for guarding. Without instructions, no one should leave the palace casually.
Jing Changji also followed the crowd to the side hall.
Brother Jing was worried about his health, so he asked in a low voice while no one was paying attention: "Are you okay?"
Jing Changji shook his head lightly: "Brother, I'm fine." It's just that this matter may not be resolved, and at the same time, he was also worried about Wei Yin, although from the conversation just now, it can be heard that Wei Yin successfully transferred the suspicion away.
But regarding Emperor Chengxian being poisoned, since the person who framed him was able to poison Emperor Chengxian unknowingly, how could it be possible for Wei Yin to be cleared of suspicion so easily?
After a night of treatment, Emperor Chengxian's life was saved, but the poison could not be cleared for a while.
Empress Dowager Huo's attitude towards Wei Yin has also improved a lot after Wei Yin was willing to use blood to save Emperor Chengxian. Since Wei Yin has Nine Turns Broken Soul Grass in his body.
But there is also the poison brought out from the mother's womb, and since this kind of poison can be suppressed by the nine-turn soul-severing grass, then similarly, his blood can also temporarily suppress the poison of the nine-turn soul-severing grass.
In the end, Liangyuan Envoy and Guoshi took action and saved Emperor Chengxian's life with Wei Yin's blood.
But now this can only save his life temporarily, and it may not be easy to detoxify.
If the antidote could be easily found, Wei Yin would not have been living with this poison for more than 20 years, and his health would not even be good.
Empress Dowager Huo knew this and her complexion became even more ugly, especially the fact that the prince was not the heir of the emperor made her brain dazed with anger.
When she knew that the emperor's life was saved, she stared at the queen and Huo Xiang deeply, and finally thought about it, and looked at the prince: "You three, come with Aijia."
The group of four finally went to another side hall. When there were only four people left, the Empress Dowager Huo stared at the queen and Huo Xiang deeply: "Come on, what's going on?"
Just from that portrait, Empress Dowager Huo knew about it... probably nine out of ten are true.
She didn't want to be in front of the prince, but now that the emperor is poisoned and unconscious, she can't hide the matter if she wants, but if the emperor happens, she can't let the country fall into the hands of outsiders.
So let the prince know about this, so we can continue.
Empress Huo also just found out that what she did back then was exposed, and she has been flustered since last night.
But what made her even more unexpected was that Concubine Liu Gui was actually sent into the palace by her elder brother?Did you still have an affair with your brother back then?
Empress Huo was so angry that she couldn't help complaining and being angry: "Auntie, I have to ask Mr. Huo about this. After all, he is really capable, and he just wants to change Wei's surname to Huo."
She thought about it all night, and she could only think of this possibility. Her brother has a lot more appetite than her own.
She just wanted to use the crown prince to keep her own position and the position of the eldest princess, but as a result, her good brother directly wanted to be the emperor herself!
Empress Dowager Huo's complexion also sank: "Is what the queen said true?"
How could Huo Xiang admit it, he sighed: "Your Majesty has wronged my minister. It is true that the matter of the year was exchanged between my minister and Your Majesty. But the situation was critical at that time, and Your Majesty gave birth to a stillborn baby. The Queen's position can only...be temporarily replaced by other children."
Speaking of this, Huo Xiang glanced at the prince, and found that the other party had lowered his brows and eyes, and when he heard his life experience and didn't even respond, Huo Xiang felt a little bit in his heart. Was the prince too shocked or...knew it a long time ago?
Empress Dowager Huo was extremely angry: "Why didn't you ask Ai's family?"
The queen wiped her tears: "How should I tell my aunt about this? Tell my aunt, you will definitely...not agree."
Although she is an aunt, the queen mother is also the biological mother of Emperor Chengxian, how could she favor her?At that time, Concubine Liu Guihu was threatening her position. Once Concubine Liu Gui was the first to give birth to her eldest son, her position would be even more precarious.
But the queen never expected that while her own brother was pretending to help her, on the other hand, she had already made a countermeasure!
Empress Dowager Huo was so angry that her chest heaved: "You two bastards! Look at what you are doing? Is he... really a child of the Li family?"
The queen followed the eyes of the queen mother, and then realized that once the prince knew the truth, she would have lost a support, and now that Huo Xiang is not reliable, she wiped her tears: "At that time, sister Li and Ben Gong gave birth to each other. At that time, Ben Gong had just lost the emperor's heir, and it happened that Sister Li had a dystocia. She left behind such a child, and Sister Li entrusted Ben Gong to save him. At that time, Ben Gong thought of... the best of both worlds. By the way, I will fulfill Sister Li's last wish."
The queen picked herself out, and by the way set herself a person who would be kind to the prince's biological mother. She walked over and held the prince's hand: "I'm sorry, mother, for keeping you from you all these years...but the queen is also true. I treat you as my own child..."
The prince lowered his head from the beginning to the end, curled his mouth mockingly at a place where the queen could not see: either beating or scolding, is this the so-called biological child?
But when he raised his eyes, the expression in his eyes had changed to sad and sad: "So I'm not the prince, I'm really not the prince..."
His sad expression made the queen mother feel sad. Although he is not the heir of the emperor, he has really loved her all these years. She sighed: "Don't worry, the Ai family will not treat you badly. It's just that you are not the heir of the emperor. This position... ...Hey, but now this matter can't be spoken out, you are still the prince, Aijia will let Mr. Xie explain that it is all a misunderstanding, and we will wait for the emperor to wake up to talk about the future. "
The Empress and Huo Xiang naturally have no objection, as long as the Empress Dowager can tell them the truth about this matter, as long as it doesn't spread, as for Emperor Cheng Xian... "How can the emperor be poisoned if he is so good?"
The Empress Dowager Huo laughed angrily: "You ask the Ai family, who does the Ai family ask?" She didn't even know about the prince. It seemed that she had devoted herself to worshiping Buddha all these years, but she was really blinded by her own people because of her old eyesight.
The Queen Mother stared at Huo Xiang deeply, "Is this really nothing to do with you?"
Huo Xiang yelled at his injustice: "Madam, even if I have a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare. Apart from the fact that the prince's matter is true, the matter of Concubine Liu Gui is really false. Someone deliberately tried to provoke the Huo family and the royal family." It doesn't matter, this person's heart can be punished? What a coincidence, Prince Rui has just won the hearts of the people, if something happens to the emperor at this time, it will not be the heir of Concubine Liu Gui who ascends to the throne. When the time comes...I'm afraid it will be Prince Rui...So who is the most important? Qualified, the suspicion is the greatest."
Empress Dowager Huo was very worried. She thought it was impossible, but she had to feel that Huo Xiang's suspicion was justified: "But this poisonous weed..." Isn't it too obvious?
Huo Xiangdao: "The more this is the case, the less the empress will doubt it, won't she?"
Empress Dowager Huo's expression sank again, the rest of the people breathed a sigh of relief, and the Prince's originally tense back gradually eased.
Jing Changji didn't know what was going on outside. They were trapped in the palace all night, and all the officials looked down and tired, sitting on the ground casually, with worried faces, fearing that they would lose their lives if they knew so many secrets.
Especially when you are isolated and don't even know what's going on outside.
I don't know how long it took, someone came to deliver food to them, and then opened the main hall separately, and continued to close it again.
On the other hand, Wei Yin's face was not very good-looking, especially when the officials did not return overnight, and the matter of Emperor Cheng Xian was suppressed, but there were still doubts and discussions in the public.
Wei Yin was called over by the queen mother at this time, he knew that someone might frame him deliberately.
Wei Yin thought all night and set the target on three people, one is the prince, the reason is his own background; the second is Huo Xiang, and only Huo Xiang has the ability to do this, plus Liu Guifei Maybe he really wants to rebel against himself and become the throne; the third object of suspicion... is the national teacher.
But Wei Yin couldn't figure out why the national teacher had any reason to poison Emperor Chengxian, but if the most likely one was excluded, then only the most unlikely one would remain.
What's more, the elixir of immortality given by the national teacher after the previous retreat led Cheng Xiandi to refine the elixir. What if there is something wrong with the elixir?
When the queen mother saw Wei Yin, she had mixed feelings. The reason why she trusted Wei Yin was because of the old Prince Rui, but after Huo Xiang said such words, she also became suspicious: "Prince Rui, you are regarded as an Ai family who grew up watching you grow up. You Although you are of the same generation as the emperor, but not a few years older than the crown prince, and the emperor treats you well, you really have no other thoughts?"
Wei Yin sighed: "Queen Mother, if this king really has a different heart, he will not bleed to save the emperor. But if this king uses tricks when bleeding, how can the emperor survive?"
The Empress Dowager's face changed when she heard this, but Prince Rui's words were harsh, but the words were not harsh.
If Prince Rui wanted to kill the Emperor, there were indeed too many opportunities to do so last night, but she couldn't figure out who else could poison the Emperor so easily.
Wei Yin reminded her, he did not have good intentions, he didn't want to be the only suspect.
What's more, he has another thing to do: "Instead of doubting the king, the queen mother should think about where the evidence of Mr. Xie came from? The prince really knows nothing about his own life experience. I don’t know? This king doesn’t usually enter the palace at all, so how can he easily poison the emperor? On the contrary, the prince is the easiest to get close to the emperor. Of course, it is easier for the queen and Concubine Liu. Xiang's child is still unknown."
Empress Dowager Huo frowned: "Master Xiang said no."
Wei Yin smiled, but said nothing.
Empress Dowager Huo also felt that she didn't believe what she said, and she frowned.
Wei Yin spoke again at the right time: "Of course, speaking of it, this king has just learned something. I hope it will help the queen mother find the person who poisoned her."
Empress Dowager Huo's attention was attracted: "What's the matter?"
Wei Yin: "During this period of time, the emperor has been taking... the elixir of immortality."
"What?!" Empress Dowager Huo stood up suddenly, her face changed a few times because she was too shocked, and finally she was pale, and her whole body couldn't help trembling. The appearance of the old emperor before his death seemed to be vivid in her memory, and she finally sat down. On the chair, he couldn't believe it, "Impossible, Huang'er can't be so confused..."
Wei Yin sighed: "Your Majesty, you can go and investigate. This king just found out, and this matter cannot be faked. But now there is something that needs to be decided by the Queen Mother as soon as possible."
Empress Dowager Huo was at a loss at the moment: "What, what?"
Wei Yin took a deep look at her: "The officials haven't returned all night, and now there is a lot of discussion in the public. If the officials don't come out of the palace again, I'm afraid...the emperor will be overwhelmed by the poisoning and dying. When the vassal king and neighboring countries get the news, But it’s not just a matter within the court, it will be turbulent for the entire Davidic dynasty.”
Empress Dowager Huo's face changed completely: "This..."
Wei Yin slowly uttered his ultimate goal: "The officials don't have the guts to poison the king of a country, and there is no chance. The best way now is to warn the officials not to talk nonsense, and then let them out of the palace. It is said that last night the emperor entertained all the officials with fine wine and delicacies because of Concubine Liu Guifei's happy event, and he rested in the palace for the whole night because of drunkenness, and now he only leaves the palace to take a rest for a day, so as to silence everyone's mouths."
Empress Dowager Huo was in a state of disarray at the moment, she felt that she should be let out, and at the same time felt that it was wrong.
Wei Yin added a bargaining chip at the end: "Except for the officials, this king, including the crown prince, Huo Xiang, and other princes, are willing to stay in the palace. The emperor does not wake up for a day, and this king does not leave the palace for a day."
Empress Dowager Huo looked at Wei Yin's frank gaze, and finally gritted her teeth: "Then rely on Prince Rui." There were also some unimportant people on the left and right, but what Prince Rui said was right, the emperor was poisoned and fell into a coma. Things must not be leaked at this time!
On the other side, Jing Changji and other courtiers soon ushered in the door of the palace to be opened. Some palace people first issued the Queen Mother's decree outside the palace, ordering her to keep silent after leaving the palace and not to let anyone know what happened last night. , take everyone out of the palace.
Jing Changji stood there in a daze for a moment, and couldn't help looking in one direction. At this moment, the little eunuch who had issued an order by his ear suddenly lowered his voice, "Master Jing, the prince asked you to leave the palace immediately, and then He will find a way to send you away from Beijing tonight."
Jing Changji looked back, but found that there was no one around him, as if the instruction just now was just his own illusion.
Emperor Chengxian vomited blood suddenly, which made everyone dumbfounded. The hall was in chaos for a while, and anxious people were everywhere.
Immediately, he was nailed to the spot by a sudden sound: "Come here, surround the entire palace. The emperor has not woken up. No one is allowed to leave the palace, or they will be shot!"
As soon as Huo Xiang said these words, the hall fell into deathly silence.
But after the silence, there was a chaos like crazy. The officials used to be quite afraid of Huo Xiang, after all, they were Huo's family.
But if what Mr. Xie said just now is true, Huo Xiang will be sent to prison, and he is not allowed to leave the palace, and under the fear and anxiety, he becomes bolder.
"Huo Xiang, what do you mean by this? Is this to take advantage of your anger to vomit blood to plot against the emperor?"
"That's right, maybe what Mr. Xie said is true, Huo Xiang just wants to confuse the harem and achieve some ulterior motives!"
"The emperor is so angry about these things that he vomits blood, why should we be trapped in the palace and not allowed to leave the palace?" If Huo Xiang wanted to kill people to silence them, would they survive tonight?
Huo Xiangqi laughed, and with a swipe, he pulled out the sword from the waist of a guard next to him: "The truth is, this is for your own good, after all... the emperor was poisoned at the banquet, and the murderer has not been found yet. Anyone is possible! Before the investigation, everyone is suspected, especially the one who intends to leave the palace!"
As soon as Huo Xiang said this, the officials who were still chattering seemed to be strangled, and the whole hall fell silent for a while:? ?
What's the meaning?Poisoned?Who was poisoned?How could the emperor be poisoned?
Huo Xiang looked around, but stepped forward, and lifted up the dangling right hand of Emperor Cheng Xian, who had been unconscious for a long time, although he no longer vomited blood.
Everyone raised their eyes and gasped, only to see Emperor Chengxian on the dragon chair with a strange rosy face.
But the lips are blue and purple, not only that, the nails on the tips of the five fingers are also glowing with a kind of almost black purple, that color looks weird and frightening under the palace lamp in the hall.
Jing Changji also took this scene into his eyes, and was very surprised. He obviously didn't expect that Emperor Cheng Xian would vomit blood because of being poisoned.

She didn't want something to happen to Emperor Chengxian, but also worried that Emperor Chengxian would wake up and investigate the events of the year. If it was exposed, she might be alive. It can't be done.
Concubine Liu Gui went to look at Huo Xiang with a sullen face, and the Empress Dowager Huo and Empress Huo who rushed over. Behind the three stood the princes headed by Prince Rui, including the prince with a gloomy face.

But what made her even more unexpected was that Concubine Liu Gui was actually sent into the palace by her elder brother?Did you still have an affair with your brother back then?
Empress Huo was so angry that she couldn't help complaining and being angry: "Auntie, I have to ask Mr. Huo about this. After all, he is really capable, and he just wants to change Wei's surname to Huo."
She thought about it all night, and she could only think of this possibility. Her brother has a lot more appetite than her own.
She just wanted to use the crown prince to keep her own position and the position of the eldest princess, but as a result, her good brother directly wanted to be the emperor herself!
Empress Dowager Huo's complexion also sank: "Is what the queen said true?"
How could Huo Xiang admit it, he sighed: "Your Majesty has wronged my minister. It is true that the matter of the year was exchanged between my minister and Your Majesty. But the situation was critical at that time, and Your Majesty gave birth to a stillborn baby. The Queen's position can only...be temporarily replaced by other children."
Speaking of this, Huo Xiang glanced at the prince, and found that the other party had lowered his brows and eyes, and when he heard his life experience and didn't even respond, Huo Xiang felt a little bit in his heart. Was the prince too shocked or...knew it a long time ago?
Empress Dowager Huo was extremely angry: "Why didn't you ask Ai's family?"
The queen wiped her tears: "How should I tell my aunt about this? Tell my aunt, you will definitely...not agree."
Although she is an aunt, the queen mother is also the biological mother of Emperor Chengxian, how could she favor her?At that time, Concubine Liu Guihu was threatening her position. Once Concubine Liu Gui was the first to give birth to her eldest son, her position would be even more precarious.
But the queen never expected that while her own brother was pretending to help her, on the other hand, she had already made a countermeasure!
Empress Dowager Huo was so angry that her chest heaved: "You two bastards! Look at what you are doing? Is he... really a child of the Li family?"
The queen followed the eyes of the queen mother, and then realized that once the prince knew the truth, she would have lost a support, and now that Huo Xiang is not reliable, she wiped her tears: "At that time, sister Li and Ben Gong gave birth to each other. At that time, Ben Gong had just lost the emperor's heir, and it happened that Sister Li had a dystocia. She left behind such a child, and Sister Li entrusted Ben Gong to save him. At that time, Ben Gong thought of... the best of both worlds. By the way, I will fulfill Sister Li's last wish."
The queen picked herself out, and by the way set herself a person who would be kind to the prince's biological mother. She walked over and held the prince's hand: "I'm sorry, mother, for keeping you from you all these years...but the queen is also true. I treat you as my own child..."
The prince lowered his head from the beginning to the end, curled his mouth mockingly at a place where the queen could not see: either beating or scolding, is this the so-called biological child?
But when he raised his eyes, the expression in his eyes had changed to sad and sad: "So I'm not the prince, I'm really not the prince..."
His sad expression made the queen mother feel sad. Although he is not the heir of the emperor, he has really loved her all these years. She sighed: "Don't worry, the Ai family will not treat you badly. It's just that you are not the heir of the emperor. This position... ...Hey, but now this matter can't be spoken out, you are still the prince, Aijia will let Mr. Xie explain that it is all a misunderstanding, and we will wait for the emperor to wake up to talk about the future. "
The Empress and Huo Xiang naturally have no objection, as long as the Empress Dowager can tell them the truth about this matter, as long as it doesn't spread, as for Emperor Cheng Xian... "How can the emperor be poisoned if he is so good?"
The Empress Dowager Huo laughed angrily: "You ask the Ai family, who does the Ai family ask?" She didn't even know about the prince. It seemed that she had devoted herself to worshiping Buddha all these years, but she was really blinded by her own people because of her old eyesight.
The Queen Mother stared at Huo Xiang deeply, "Is this really nothing to do with you?"
Huo Xiang yelled at his injustice: "Madam, even if I have a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare. Apart from the fact that the prince's matter is true, the matter of Concubine Liu Gui is really false. Someone deliberately tried to provoke the Huo family and the royal family." It doesn't matter, this person's heart can be punished? What a coincidence, Prince Rui has just won the hearts of the people, if something happens to the emperor at this time, it will not be the heir of Concubine Liu Gui who ascends to the throne. When the time comes...I'm afraid it will be Prince Rui...So who is the most important? Qualified, the suspicion is the greatest."
Empress Dowager Huo was very worried. She thought it was impossible, but she had to feel that Huo Xiang's suspicion was justified: "But this poisonous weed..." Isn't it too obvious?
Huo Xiangdao: "The more this is the case, the less the empress will doubt it, won't she?"
Empress Dowager Huo's expression sank again, the rest of the people breathed a sigh of relief, and the Prince's originally tense back gradually eased.
Jing Changji didn't know what was going on outside. They were trapped in the palace all night, and all the officials looked down and tired, sitting on the ground casually, with worried faces, fearing that they would lose their lives if they knew so many secrets.
Especially when you are isolated and don't even know what's going on outside.
I don't know how long it took, someone came to deliver food to them, and then opened the main hall separately, and continued to close it again.
On the other hand, Wei Yin's face was not very good-looking, especially when the officials did not return overnight, and the matter of Emperor Cheng Xian was suppressed, but there were still doubts and discussions in the public.
Wei Yin was called over by the queen mother at this time, he knew that someone might frame him deliberately.
Wei Yin thought all night and set the target on three people, one is the prince, the reason is his own background; the second is Huo Xiang, and only Huo Xiang has the ability to do this, plus Liu Guifei Maybe he really wants to rebel against himself and become the throne; the third object of suspicion... is the national teacher.
But Wei Yin couldn't figure out why the national teacher had any reason to poison Emperor Chengxian, but if the most likely one was excluded, then only the most unlikely one would remain.
What's more, the elixir of immortality given by the national teacher after the previous retreat led Cheng Xiandi to refine the elixir. What if there is something wrong with the elixir?
When the queen mother saw Wei Yin, she had mixed feelings. The reason why she trusted Wei Yin was because of the old Prince Rui, but after Huo Xiang said such words, she also became suspicious: "Prince Rui, you are regarded as an Ai family who grew up watching you grow up. You Although you are of the same generation as the emperor, but not a few years older than the crown prince, and the emperor treats you well, you really have no other thoughts?"
Wei Yin sighed: "Queen Mother, if this king really has a different heart, he will not bleed to save the emperor. But if this king uses tricks when bleeding, how can the emperor survive?"
The Empress Dowager's face changed when she heard this, but Prince Rui's words were harsh, but the words were not harsh.
If Prince Rui wanted to kill the Emperor, there were indeed too many opportunities to do so last night, but she couldn't figure out who else could poison the Emperor so easily.
Wei Yin reminded her, he did not have good intentions, he didn't want to be the only suspect.
What's more, he has another thing to do: "Instead of doubting the king, the queen mother should think about where the evidence of Mr. Xie came from? The prince really knows nothing about his own life experience. I don’t know? This king doesn’t usually enter the palace at all, so how can he easily poison the emperor? On the contrary, the prince is the easiest to get close to the emperor. Of course, it is easier for the queen and Concubine Liu. Xiang's child is still unknown."
Empress Dowager Huo frowned: "Master Xiang said no."
Wei Yin smiled, but said nothing.
Empress Dowager Huo also felt that she didn't believe what she said, and she frowned.
Wei Yin spoke again at the right time: "Of course, speaking of it, this king has just learned something. I hope it will help the queen mother find the person who poisoned her."
Empress Dowager Huo's attention was attracted: "What's the matter?"
Wei Yin: "During this period of time, the emperor has been taking... the elixir of immortality."
"What?!" Empress Dowager Huo stood up suddenly, her face changed a few times because she was too shocked, and finally she was pale, and her whole body couldn't help trembling. The appearance of the old emperor before his death seemed to be vivid in her memory, and she finally sat down. On the chair, he couldn't believe it, "Impossible, Huang'er can't be so confused..."
Wei Yin sighed: "Your Majesty, you can go and investigate. This king just found out, and this matter cannot be faked. But now there is something that needs to be decided by the Queen Mother as soon as possible."
Empress Dowager Huo was at a loss at the moment: "What, what?"
Wei Yin took a deep look at her: "The officials haven't returned all night, and now there is a lot of discussion in the public. If the officials don't come out of the palace again, I'm afraid...the emperor will be overwhelmed by the poisoning and dying. When the vassal king and neighboring countries get the news, But it’s not just a matter within the court, it will be turbulent for the entire Davidic dynasty.”
Empress Dowager Huo's face changed completely: "This..."
Wei Yin slowly uttered his ultimate goal: "The officials don't have the guts to poison the king of a country, and there is no chance. The best way now is to warn the officials not to talk nonsense, and then let them out of the palace. It is said that last night the emperor entertained all the officials with fine wine and delicacies because of Concubine Liu Guifei's happy event, and he rested in the palace for the whole night because of drunkenness, and now he only leaves the palace to take a rest for a day, so as to silence everyone's mouths."
Empress Dowager Huo was in a state of disarray at the moment, she felt that she should be let out, and at the same time felt that it was wrong.
Wei Yin added a bargaining chip at the end: "Except for the officials, this king, including the crown prince, Huo Xiang, and other princes, are willing to stay in the palace. The emperor does not wake up for a day, and this king does not leave the palace for a day."
Empress Dowager Huo looked at Wei Yin's frank gaze, and finally gritted her teeth: "Then rely on Prince Rui." There were also some unimportant people on the left and right, but what Prince Rui said was right, the emperor was poisoned and fell into a coma. Things must not be leaked at this time!
On the other side, Jing Changji and other courtiers soon ushered in the door of the palace to be opened. Some palace people first issued the Queen Mother's decree outside the palace, ordering her to keep silent after leaving the palace and not to let anyone know what happened last night. , take everyone out of the palace.
Jing Changji stood there in a daze for a moment, and couldn't help looking in one direction. At this moment, the little eunuch who had issued an order by his ear suddenly lowered his voice, "Master Jing, the prince asked you to leave the palace immediately, and then He will find a way to send you away from Beijing tonight."
Jing Changji looked back, but found that there was no one around him, as if the instruction just now was just his own illusion.
