Chapter 60: Poisoning

Out of the banquet hall, the two of them had aimlessly, the cold and bright moonlight sprinkled on the floor tiles under their feet, the autumn of Northern Qi was very cold, and white gas was spit out when they spoke. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

It seemed that the two of them were too quiet and relaxed, Su Qingluan's tone was also relaxed, and he frowned at the fact that the weather had just entered August, which was already so cold, and said, "The autumn of Northern Qi is really cold, it feels like winter." ”

Yuan Junyao was accustomed to the climate of Northern Qi, but looking at her frowning lightly because of the cold air, he blurted out for some reason: "The territory of Lindu is relatively northern, and my fiefdom is in the south, so it is not so cold." ”

Su Qingluan's heart moved when he heard his words, but he turned his head to look at him with disgust, "Is your fiefdom cold, what's the matter with me?"

Yuan Junyao was originally choked by her, and couldn't help but laugh when he heard her muttering like this. Doesn't she notice his height?

"By the way, what does the letter you asked Yuen Long to send me?" Su Qingluan suddenly looked up at him, he had not had a chance to ask him in the past few days since he came to Northern Qi. Yuen Long suddenly visited her mansion alone that day, only to say that Yuan Junyao instructed him to send a letter to Su Qingluan, and after Yuen Long left, she opened the letter, which said that there seemed to be something wrong with the half-grown grass he gave her a year ago, and invited her to come to Northern Qi for consultation.

The half-grown grass sent by Yuan Junyao on her birthday last year was taken to save her father's life, it was about her father, of course she had to come to ask clearly, but coming as the eldest princess of Jing'an would inevitably be speculated by the people of the four countries, after all, the emperor of Northern Qi was a big thorn to indicate that Yuan Junyao was interested in her, if she came as the eldest princess of Jing'an, I am afraid that everyone would think that Northern Qi and Dongjing would marry.

In fact, she didn't understand why the Emperor of Northern Qi would act like this, and what he said about it so much would only make Dongjing reject Yuan Junyao, how could he marry Northern Qi. It is rumored that Yuan Junyao is the most beloved son of the Northern Qi Emperor, but it seems that this rumor is not true.

When I came to Beiqi, I was always watched, except for the night when I first arrived, the two said a few words, and I didn't have a chance to speak until now.

Yuan Junyao looked at the unknown place in front of him, and thought for a while before he said slowly, "My father, the Emperor of Northern Qi, has been in poor health in recent years, and almost all the half-grown grass collected by Northern Qi over the years has been used by him, but it has not been good, and it seems to be getting more and more serious in the past six months. Speaking of this, Yuan Junyao paused for a moment, and his tone was mocking, "He seems to be very greedy for this dragon chair, and he hasn't enjoyed enough of this glory, wealth, and delicate beauty, so why is he willing to die!"

Originally, I was puzzled, but now it is almost confirmed that the relationship between Yuan Junyao and the Northern Qi Emperor is not as close as rumored. It is said that the emperor of Northern Qi wanted to establish Yuan Junyao as the crown prince, but now it seems that everything is just a puzzle set up by someone.

"What does this have to do with the half-born grass?" Su Qingluan was puzzled, the half-born grass has been in the Northern Qi Dynasty for hundreds of years, and its effect is self-evident.

Yuan Junyao turned to look at her, with a somewhat complicated expression on his face, "Actually, my father is poisoned, a chronic poison, and not only him, the emperors of the other three kingdoms have also been poisoned, although it is not the same kind." ”

Su Qingluan was surprised, all the emperors of the four kingdoms were poisoned, how did he know about this kind of thing?

Seeing her doubts, Yuan Junyao explained, "In fact, I knew that he was poisoned a long time ago, but I don't know what kind of poison he had, and in what way, when I attended the wedding banquet of Prince Dongjing, I found that Emperor Jing also seemed to have signs of poisoning, and after returning to Northern Qi, I sent someone to investigate, so I found this secret." ”

Although Su Qingluan was very surprised by this result, if what Yuan Junyao said was true, then who was behind the scenes. The emperors of the four countries have all been poisoned, so who will benefit?

A name appeared in Su Qingluan's mind: "Wa Island on the Sea?"

Yuan Junyao nodded, and the clues he found all pointed to the small maritime country that would pay tribute like the Four Kingdoms every year. "Although the poisons in the emperors of the four kingdoms are different, they all use special primers to trigger toxins. And the poison in my father's emperor is to use half-raw grass as an introduction. ”

"It seems that the people of the Wa Kingdom are very familiar with the situation in Northern Qi and even the Four Kingdoms. Su Qingluan also felt that this matter was very strange, "Could it be that there are spies in the four countries in the four countries, or there are people in the four countries who collude with the Japanese state." ”

Speaking of collusion with the Wa Kingdom, isn't Nan Chen's Gong Xuelian one!

"I already have some eyebrows on the Northern Qi side, but I just don't know if there is anything unusual about Emperor Jing after taking the half-born grass!" Although it would be suspicious to care about Emperor Jing's body directly from his position, Yuan Junyao didn't want the half-born grass to also cause Emperor Jing's poison, otherwise he would not only be the one who indirectly harmed his future father-in-law, but I am afraid that she would also have a pimple in her heart.

"Maybe it's because of the different poisons, my father didn't cause it after taking the half-raw grass. Su Qingluan was not surprised that Yuan Junyao knew that the half-born grass was for his father to eat, and when he sent the grass, he knew that it was needed by Emperor Jing, otherwise he would not have told her this now.

But for the night when his father took half a raw grass, Su Qingluan seemed to understand that someone poisoned his father's soup that night to trigger the toxins on his body, but by mistake, some people wanted to poison his father, and it happened that she got a half-born grass sent by Yuan Junyao, otherwise his father might have been poisoned by that person that night.

"There may be a move in the near future, and then we can take the opportunity to let them come up with an antidote. Su Qingluan looked at Yuan Junyao and added, "Maybe you don't need it." ”

Yuan Junyao was a little helpless about her cave, "Can you be less smart?" Without waiting for Su Qingluan to speak, he continued, "Actually, I knew ten years ago that he didn't like my son the most, and even said that he hated me. Just because the queen is my mother, not his most beloved woman. ”

The Northern Qi Emperor had a woman he loved deeply, but the woman's status was low and she couldn't be the mother of a country, and the queen's position had to be left to the daughter of the important ministers who had always assisted him and supported him, so the woman could only be accepted into the palace by him after the queen gave birth to a son, and she was wronged to be a low-level concubine.

He didn't dare to blatantly pamper her, didn't dare to let her give birth to children for him, and finally the queen died, and his lover became the hottest concubine in a few years. Their children will inherit the Northern Qi dynasty, but he is too young to withstand the rain of swords and arrows, so he needs a shield to help him block those open guns and arrows, and this person is the son of the woman who occupies the queen's throne.

Before the age of seventeen, Yuan Junyao always thought that he was the happiest person in the world, his father and mother were deeply affectionate, although his father was sometimes strict but had high expectations for him, his mother was loving, and his younger brother and sister were lovely and obedient. But on the day his mother died, he realized that he was too naΓ―ve.

He found that he did not know anything about the man who stood by the queen mother's bedside and mercilessly accused her of occupying the magpie's nest. He stood behind the screen of the queen mother's dormitory, and listened to the words that came out of his mouth so cold and merciless, that it broke the queen mother's heart, and it also broke his heart.

From that day he knew that all the affection that the man had shown him was nothing more than a shield for the child born to another woman. One day, his devastated shield will be abandoned. And now, ten years later, the day he was thrown away is not far away, but it is still unknown whether everything will develop in the direction that the man thought back then.
