Chapter 140: The Death of the Prince (2)
After a few days, Fang Qi did not appear for a long time, and both the palace and the prince's mansion were calm.
But the calmer it is, the more unusual it seems. After all, in Chi Xiaoman and Yu Chimu's cognition, Concubine Xiao was thrown into the prison, and Yu Chixin was also grounded in his palace, so it was impossible for Fang Qi not to move.
This calm before the storm is the most unbearable.
Wei Chimu had already reported to his father that he suspected that Fang Qi was an assassin, Emperor Jinglie was shocked, he naturally knew how strong Fang Qi's martial arts were, otherwise he would not have let him teach his several princes martial arts back then.
And Emperor Jinglie also adopted Wei Chimu's Jianyì, and released the news that Concubine Xiao had personally admitted that Fang Qi had poisoned the prince and was about to be executed, hoping to lure Fang Qi out.
Although Emperor Jinglie suspected that Fang Qi's identity and ability should not be bought by Concubine Xiao, but Wei Chimu concealed the fact that Concubine Xiao and Fang Qi had an affair, and that Yu Chixin was their illegitimate son, and only vaguely said that maybe there was some kind of interest between them, so they reached a consensus to deal with the prince.
didn't dare to tell the truth not only because he was difficult to tell in front of his father, not to mention that this matter was just a speculation between him and Xiaoman, just like Xiaoman said, no matter what the facts were, it was better for him not to uncover this kind of royal scandal.
But to their surprise, three days had passed since the news was released, and Fang Qi just didn't appear. Could it be that he didn't care about Concubine Xiao's life or death at all, or had he already seen through their scheme?
Wei Chi Mu and Chi Xiaoman couldn't figure it out, but they couldn't deny that Fang Qi was the most difficult enemy they had ever encountered.
On this day, Yu Chimu and Chi Xiaoman visited the prince's mansion again, on the one hand, to visit Cheng Yin, who was already sober, and on the other hand, to find the prince to cooperate with their plan. If Fang Qi didn't appear, it was impossible for them not to move all the time, because they were in the light and Fang Qi was in the dark, and it would really be bad for them not to show up.
Although Cheng Yin woke up, she had not yet escaped from the haze of childbirth, and the whole person looked weak and haggard, and her mental state was quite bad.
Yu Chi Mu and Chi Xiaoman were very sad when they saw it, and after some persuasion, they went to the study with the crown prince Wei Chi Hao to talk secretly.
"You suspect that the assassin is Fang Qi's business, I heard from my father. Third brother, Fang Qi is your master, you ...... What do you want to do?" Yu Chi Hao knew that Yu Chi Mu must have been quite tormented in his heart in this matter, their master-apprentice relationship with father and son he had seen it since he was a child, and since Yu Chi Mu was alienated by his father, his relationship with his master Fang Qi was probably deeper than that with his father, but now he has to be an enemy with him.
He didn't doubt that Yu Chimu really wanted to help him deal with Fang Qi, maybe he shouldn't say help himself, but he was ordered by his father to find the assassin, but according to his understanding of Yu Chimu, although he used to be quite unruly in appearance, his heart was quite upright, so even if he was facing his own master, when the master did something wrong, he would not bend the law for personal gain.
It's just that, to be honest, he couldn't guess Fang Qi's intentions, and he felt quite incredible that Fang Qi would be bought by Concubine Xiao, but even his father couldn't see through it, he couldn't understand it even if he wanted to break his head.
"Now we are in the light, and he is in the dark, and it is necessary to draw him out to our advantage. Unfortunately, although his father had released the news that Concubine Xiao had confessed that he was an assassin and was going to execute Concubine Xiao, he never came forward. Wei Chi Mu paused for a moment and said, "So, I want to ask the imperial brother to cooperate in a play." ”
"Oh? "Wei Chihao is interested.
Chi Xiaoman listened to their conversation on the side, while carefully observing the prince's expression. Even she, who doesn't know anything about medicine, can see that the toxicity in the prince's body is getting deeper and deeper, and his face looks much darker than before, I'm afraid ...... There aren't many days left.
"The poison in the body of the imperial brother...... Imperial Doctor Ge shouldn't be able to suppress it anymore, right?" Wei Chimu said carefully.
"Don't be so taboo. Wei Chihao smiled and said: "I know my situation very well, you are right, so how do you want me to cooperate?"
Yu Chimu and Chi Xiaoman were quite surprised, they didn't expect the prince's mentality to be so good......
"What, your expression, do you think I'm not like me anymore, right?" Wei Chi Hao looked at them, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said: "I know what I used to be like in your eyes, but after going through so many things, now I have thought about it, after learning that the person who poisoned me was Fang Qi, I knew that I couldn't be saved, I had done too many wrong things in the past, third brother, for brother...... I'm sorry for you, I hope you can forgive my brother for the sake of my time, and take good care of Cheng Yin after my brother goes, I owe her too much, too much......"
She ...... I still don't know that the imperial brother has been poisoned?" asked Wei Chimu in surprise.
Wei Chihao shook his head, "I didn't tell her, her body can't withstand the blow anymore, so I hope you can take her away in a while, just let me accompany her for a few more days." ”
Chi Xiaoman sighed in his heart, if it is really a human being, his words are also good, he finally realized it before he died, and it was not in vain that Chengyin later loved him. (To be continued......)
