Midsummer night.

The sky was cloudy and thunder hibernated.

It seemed that a rainstorm was coming, and gradually, the wind in all directions became stronger, and finally the "whirring" turned into a fierce wind, and the trees in the palace "rustled".

Outside the Hall of Diligence.

Wang Chen strode over.

Countless guards and forbidden troops were on guard at three steps, one sentry, five steps and one post.

As soon as Li Huaizhong and Zhang Qian saw him come out, they hurriedly greeted him, "National teacher." ”

Wang Chen snorted and said in a deep voice, "Haven't the four princes entered the palace yet?"

"Entered, we sent it to the queen. Li Huaizhong said.

Wang Chen thought for a while, "Call the queen and the four princes over, by the way, send someone to let Shangyao serve the imperial Liu Han and bring the imperial doctors into the palace to 'treat' Your Majesty." ”

Zhang Qian didn't react, "Ah, Your Majesty is still ......"

Wang Chen waved his hand and said: "No, by the way, let Liu Han call the servants in the palace, I remember that the servants are also under the control of their Shang Pharmacy Bureau, and I have something to explain." ”

"Yes. Zhang Gan wanted to stay here to command the Golden Gun Squad, so he called a cronie over and whispered a few words in his ear.

The cronie nodded slightly and hurried away.

Then Wang Chen commanded again: "Commander Li." ”

"The subordinates are here. Li Huaizhong stepped forward.

Wang Chen instructed: "You go to the queen's side first to get the edict, and then go to Wu Desi's side, and tell Wu Desi and the people of the confronting guards that Your Majesty is in danger, and no one is allowed to let them in except Liu Han's people." ”

If something unexpected happens.

For example, Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Dezhao knew that Zhao Kuangyin had an accident, and they would definitely bring their armor over to break through the imperial city.

If Wang Chen still has energy value, he doesn't need to be afraid at all, but the problem is that he now has an energy value of more than 70 million, and he can't use positioning teleportation, and he can't dispatch his army in Bagan to defend the imperial city.

It would be difficult to stop the large army from attacking the imperial city by relying only on the Wude Division and the Imperial Front Division, and it was necessary to rely on the strength of the guards and pro-army.

What Zhao Kuangyin said just now is very clear, the guards are the real royalists, even if they are secretly fighting fiercely with the front of the palace, in this kind of matter, they will definitely work together and not let anyone enter the palace.

Just delay until tomorrow and ring the bell.

When countless ministers, relatives of the emperor and the country came to the court, even if Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Dezhao were unwilling, they did not dare to continue the attack despite the disapproval of the world, so they could only swallow their anger and accept the final result.

After all, Wang Chen has Zhao Kuangyin's edict in his hand, as for the letter of the Jinkui Alliance, hehe, he estimated that he had already been found out and destroyed by Lao Zhao, even if it was not destroyed, it would be fine, it could not be in Zhao Guangyi's hands.

Then, Zhao Defang can succeed to the throne logically.

The most important point is that Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Dezhao still retain power in their hands, and Zhao Defang still has to rely on the power in Wang Chen's hands to sit firmly on this throne, after all, Zhao Defang himself does not have any power.

Things are going on in an orderly manner.

Wang Chen stood outside the Qinzheng Hall and waited quietly.

The wind is getting stronger.

The dark clouds are also pressing down more and more, and the atmosphere is very solemn, so solemn that it gives people a feeling of depression.

About ten minutes later, Empress Song and Zhao Defang rushed over without anyone in tow.

"How is Your Majesty?" asked Empress Song as she stepped forward.

Zhao Defang didn't speak, there was self-blame, excitement on his face, and an inexplicable expression revealed.

These two are key figures, Wang Chen didn't need to hide anything, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty has died." ”

"Driving...... Dead?" Although Empress Song had already guessed this result, when she heard the exact news, she still took a step back in despair, and her eyes became moist.

Zhao Defang lowered his head and said nothing.

Wang Chen looked at the two of them and added, "I was poisoned by King Jin, but we have no evidence." "Well, this is not a lie, after all, Zhao Kuangyin does have a poison in his body, no matter how he says that Queen Song is Zhao Kuangyin's wife, and Zhao Defang is Zhao Kuangyin's son, even if he killed Lao Zhao to help the two of them, it will also give the two of them a mustard in their hearts.

Wang Chen is not afraid, but not at this time.

Lao Zhao has just died here, and he still needs to stabilize the situation and not let Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Dezhao take advantage of it, otherwise what will Zhao Defang and Queen Song do against Wang Chen one day?

"Is it really poisoning?" Empress Song said with some disbelief.

Wang Chen put his hands behind his back and said lightly: "Later, the imperial doctor and the servants will come over, and you will know if you ask them." ”

Empress Song realized that she had lost her words, and hurriedly added, "Concubine Song doesn't disbelieve in the national teacher, it's just ...... It's just that His Majesty just left, a little ...... Something ......," she said, a tear welling up from the corner of her eye.

Zhao Defang still didn't speak.

Wang Chen appreciated it more and more, at this time, Zhao Defang really said that it was nothing, it was better to remain silent.

"You two don't change into a vegetarian for the time being, wait until the clock rings around midnight, otherwise it will be bad to leak the news. Wang Chen explained.

Zhao Defang responded: "Hmm." ”

Empress Song also nodded with teary eyes.

Wang Chen suddenly thought of one thing, and continued: "Because there is no definite evidence that His Majesty's poisoning was committed by the King of Jin, if someone asks about it, you'd better say so." He paused, "Around the time of today, His Majesty was alone in the dormitory, and the king of Jin entered the palace, and the two retired female eunuchs discussed the important affairs of the court while drinking, because the voice of the conversation was very soft, and it was not clear outside the door, and after a while, the king of Jin went out, waved his hand to call the attendants to withdraw, and stood far outside the dormitory, everyone did not dare to disobey the order, so they had to stand far away, silent, and watch the movement in the door. There are door curtains and curtains made of green cloth hanging in the palace, because it is already night, and I can see the red candle burning through the curtain, and I can't see what the two of them are doing. ”

Empress Song bowed her head and said, "Then what?"

Zhao Defang also listened carefully, they all knew that they had to listen to Wang Chen's words now.

Wang Chen said slowly: "Soon, the two talked loudly, as if there was a dispute, the king of Jin got up again and again, and seemed to be humble and thankful, at this time the candle shadow swayed, the light was bright or dark, only to hear that in the dispute, His Majesty poked the table frequently with a jade pillar axe, and said loudly to the king of Jin, 'good for it'." The voice was agitated and poignant, and then it was silent for a long time, and after the king of Jin left, about half an hour, the chamberlain went in to inspect the interior, and found that His Majesty had closed his eyes and opened his mouth, and had died. ”

The two continued to listen.

Speaking of this, Wang Chen looked at Empress Song, "Empress, you heard clearly here." ”

"Hmm. Empress Song wiped the tears from her face and became extremely serious.

Wang Chen said almost word by word: "Then the inner servant reported to you urgently, you rushed to it in person, and found that Your Majesty had indeed died, and saw a testament on Your Majesty's table, which said to pass on the throne to the fourth prince Zhao Defang, and then you followed His Majesty's edict order to let His Majesty's personal chamberlain Wang Jien go and invite the fourth prince Zhao Defang, this is how it happened, remember?"

"Remembered. Queen Song said: "Then the chamberlain and the palace maid are ......."

Wang Chen waved his hand and said, "I have asked my father to explain it, and there will be no omissions." ”

Zhao Defang asked, "What about me?"

"You?" Wang Chen looked at him, "Of course you don't know anything, when you ran to the palace, you saw Your Majesty die, and then put on a vegetarian and kept in front of the spirit." ”

The matter is over.

Both of them know each other by heart.

Wang Chen took a deep breath, such a large period of things just now were made up by him according to the original historical trajectory of the "candle shadow axe", but today Zhao Guangyi did come to the palace, and he was chased and beaten out of eating and drinking with Zhao Kuangyin, there is nothing wrong with it.

Something else that doesn't match the facts?

Those are all "seen" by the chamberlain and the palace maid, and it is not in line with the matter, but Zhao Guangyi can't help it.

Presumably, Zhao Guangyi will be the first to stop someone from investigating the cause of Zhao Kuangyin's death, no problem, he is the most suspicious, plus he has indeed been poisoned, how can he withstand investigation?

Wang Chen's move is perfect.

As long as the wife spends tonight peacefully, Zhao Defang's throne will be stable.

While he was talking here, Liu Han had already hurriedly brought four or five imperial doctors and two or three servants, and as soon as they came over, they immediately saluted.

"I've seen the national teacher. ”

"I've seen the queen and the four princes. ”

Wang Chen turned his back to Empress Song and Zhao Defang, glanced at Liu Han and the others, and then said: "Your Majesty has just died, you should quickly go and check the cause of death, and don't miss any of it, especially the main cause of death, understand?"

"Xia Guan understands. Liu Han immediately waved his hand and said, "Let's go, enter the dormitory." ”

The group all walked inside.

……

In the dormitory.

Wang Chen, Empress Song, and Zhao Defang stood there.

Wang Jien and Lin Yuantu, who were not far away, were still guiding the palace maids and chamberlains on what to say, besides, except for the bloody washing of the Qinzheng Palace today, the others were basically consistent with what Wang Chen had just said.

On the edge of the dragon couch, the imperial doctor and the servants had already begun to check.

In fact, Lao Zhao's body had been disposed of just now, and many traces had been erased, such as the dying bed would be very messy, but now it was very smooth, as if nothing had happened.

For example, the main characteristics of the appearance of a person who are covered to death are early and significant appearance of corpse spots, dark purple-red, slow corpse coldness, facial cyanosis, swelling, punctate bleeding of facial skin and ocular conjunctiva, cyanosis of lips, fingernails, toenails, salivation, urine and urine and ** discharge, etc.

There are some features that can't be handled.

But most of them can be hidden, what kind of urine and urine, facial skin bleeding, etc., are cleaned.

Of course, if it were replaced by other servants and imperial doctors, they would definitely be able to find clues, but Liu Han brought his own people, and it was impossible to tell the truth stupidly.

Empress Song looked at the imperial doctor again and again, wanting to know what the real situation was, and it was obvious that she didn't believe Wang Chen very much.

On the contrary, Zhao Defang kept staring at the jade seal on the small round table, and it could be seen that he was a little impatient for the throne.

About half an hour later.

Liu Han and the others finished the autopsy, glanced at each other, and then returned to Wang Chen, Empress Song and Zhao Defang together, and said respectfully: "We have found out the cause of Your Majesty's death. ”

Empress Song hurriedly asked, "What is the reason?"

"Poisoned to death. Liu Han said.

Wang Chen smiled slightly, smart.

Empress Song asked, "Why are you sure that you died of poisoning?"

Liu Han's medical knowledge is extremely rich, and he said carefully: "To determine whether a person died of poisoning, the method is actually very simple, just look at the spots at the bottom of the corpse." Because after a person dies, the blood of the whole body will sink to the bottom of the body, and finally it will seep out of the skin and accumulate in the skin at the bottom of the body, forming purple spots. But for the poisoned person, because the blood contains other things, the spot will not be purple, and it just so happens that we see purple and blue in the spot on His Majesty's back, which is obviously poisoned, if the queen does not believe it, you can go and investigate it herself. ”

Queen Song didn't speak, she really ran over to take a look.

At this time, Wang Chen pretended to say: "Poisoning may not represent the main cause of death, right?"

Liu Han said: "The discovery of abnormal spots does not mean that the deceased died of poisoning, because the poison does not necessarily kill a person, and the real cause of his death may be another cause, but this can at least show that the deceased was poisoned." ”

Empress Song turned around, "Then why are you sure that Your Majesty was poisoned to death?"

Liu Han clapped his hands.

The servant next to him picked up a small porcelain vase and handed it over.

Liu Han opened the small porcelain vase, " Queen, you see, this is the blood we collected after the death of His Majesty, which contains a green liquid, I know this poison, it is a unique poison refined by Cheng Dexuan, the imperial doctor of the Shang Pharmacy Bureau, called the traction poison, after the traction medicine is eaten, the person's head will begin to convuls, and finally the foot is connected to the rickets and died, which is like a traction, hence the name, you look at His Majesty's dragon body, although it is flat, but there are obvious traces of convulsions, resulting in a slight tilt of the mouth and nose, residual paleness around the mouth and nose, visible bleeding, and cyanosis of the face, swelling, some bleeding on the face and eyes, lips, cyanosis of the fingernails, with symptoms after poisoning with drugs. ”

Ooh.

You're serious enough to talk nonsense.

Wang Chen secretly laughed in his heart, knowing that Liu Han was a talent, in fact, except for the first half of the truth, the back was all fake, but it was reasonable, Queen Song and Zhao Defang didn't know medical skills, how could they know the truth or falsehood.

Perhaps, other imperial doctors and servants understand, but will Wang Chen let them come into contact with Zhao Kuangyin's corpse?

Don't say that Wang Chen won't.

Even Zhao Guangyi would not let anyone continue to investigate the matter, after all, he was the most suspicious.

Naturally, in the end, Zhao Kuangyin will become a "natural death", of course, there will be some rumors and rumors, such as Wang Chen's carefully designed "Candle Shadow Axe", which pushed Zhao Kuangyin's death everywhere on Zhao Guangyi's body.

This time, Empress Song and Zhao Defang believed it completely, they looked at Wang Chen, and then at Zhao Kuangyin's body, and finally fell silent.

Liu Han deliberately asked: "Then the lower official wrote according to the results of the examination?"

Empress Song shook her head and said, "No, you can write that Your Majesty will die normally." ”

Liu Han acted very well, he pretended to be sincerely frightened and said: "If this matter is found out, won't the lower officials be destroyed all over the house?"

Queen Song took the idea and said: "No, if it happens, you will say what the concubine said." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare. Liu Han said.

Wang Chen smiled slightly, and said in his heart You finally believe it, there will be no accidents in a short time, the most important thing here is solved, and the next thing is to consolidate the defensive strength of the palace tonight.

He pondered in his heart.

Suddenly, Li Huaizhong hurriedly rushed in from outside and shouted, "National Teacher!

Wang Chen hurriedly looked sideways, only to see Li Huaizhong almost crawling in, his face was full of anxiety, and he asked, "What's wrong?"

Li Huaizhong saw that the scene was full of his own people, took a deep breath, and said with a solemn expression: "King Jin has just left the palace!"

What the?

Zhao Guangyi only left the palace at this time?

Wang Chen sighed in his heart, and secretly screamed, he thought that Zhao Guangyi had escaped from the palace when he was chased and beaten by Zhao Kuangyin, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

This time out of the palace is very important!

If Zhao Guangyi had left the palace at the beginning, he would definitely not have known that Zhao Kuangyin had died.

But just now out of the palace, Zhao Guangyi will definitely find a lot of abnormalities in the palace, and even deduce that something happened to Lao Zhao.

No matter what reason Zhao Kuangyin had an accident, as long as something happened, the most important thing must be the fight for the throne!

Then what is going to happen next is also very clear.

It is very likely that Zhao Guangyi will enter the palace again, and bring a large group of armor into the palace "King Qin", if he can see that Zhao Kuangyin is still alive, it is nothing, maybe he will withdraw honestly.

But what if you can't see it?

I will definitely attack the imperial city desperately for the throne, just to touch the throne for the first time!

Broken!

It's not too peaceful tonight!

Wang Chen's face changed greatly, knowing that if Zhao Guangyi couldn't be stopped from coming in tonight, everyone present would have to die, not that Zhao Guangyi wanted to avenge Zhao Kuangyin, but that Wang Chen and the others died, so that Zhao Er could ascend the throne logically and justifiably, and it didn't matter how Zhao Kuangyin died, because Zhao Guangyi would definitely put all the charges on the head of the "dead man".

It must be stopped!

Wang Chen immediately commanded: "Transfer everyone to the four city towers, and prevent anyone from entering the palace at all costs!"

"Yes. Li Huaizhong came and went quickly, and left in a hurry.

At this time, Zhao Defang said worriedly: "Teacher, what should we do?"

Queen Song's face also changed greatly, "If the King of Jin brings armor into the palace, I am afraid that there will be changes." ”

Wang Chen took a deep breath, waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, everything is with me!"

The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings.

If you want to get the fruits of victory, you have to go through the biggest test.

Now Wang Chen has a debt of more than 70 million energy points, and he can't use other methods to prevent Zhao Guangyi from entering the palace, he feels that tonight, it is very likely that he will have to capture Zhao Guangyi from ten thousand troops, so that it is possible to prevent the deterioration of things.

I hope this kind of thing doesn't happen, otherwise I will risk my life to capture Zhao Er.

Wang Chen clenched his fists, his strong force was the last hole card, although stealing Eunuch Chen's skills caused things to become complicated, but at the same time, his own skyrocketing absolute force was the ultimate way to solve the matter.
