Chapter 439: Poison Pill

His Majesty died the night before, and at that time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in His Majesty's bedroom, and with His Royal Highness the Prince, as well as His Majesty's henchmen and ladies and daughters.

His Majesty, who was lying on the bed, was thinking about the elixir that he took every day, but as soon as he ate the elixir that night, His Majesty vomited blood.

The Imperial Doctor came too late, and when he arrived, His Majesty had already gone.

After that, the whole country was su.

The country cannot be without a king for a day, so even if the crown prince insists repeatedly, he will ascend the throne as emperor on the third day of His Majesty's death. At this time, everyone was relieved, as long as the new emperor ascended the throne, it would be equivalent to the end of the battle for succession.

Prince, no, the new emperor thinks so too.

The only person who is full of sorrow is Hengqing.

Somehow, the crown prince's accession to the throne did not make Hengqing settle down, and he still had the affairs of the six princes in his mind. If it is calculated according to the time when the six princes changed their minds. The six princes have been planning these things for more than three years.

Judging from several encounters, the Sixth Prince is different from other princes, he is a very smart opponent. Therefore, it took more than three years to stop after the crown prince ascended the throne.

Hengqing even felt that this sixth prince was the son. If the guess is right, his goal is definitely the throne. Hengqing can imagine that if Dayong's throne falls into the hands of the prince of Qi State, Dayong will come to an end.

The new emperor ascended the throne, followed by amnesty for the world. Among them, the person who gave amnesty, and the Bai Mo who had no time to be executed.

Bai Mo, who could not escape the death penalty crime, was escorted to the frontier after the amnesty. He didn't want to leave the capital, but he also knew that no one in the capital could save him.

The road to the frontier is three thousand miles. Every step of the way, he had to take it himself. He is no longer the high-ranking scholar of the Ministry of Rites before, he is now just a prisoner.

The night was deep, and Hengqing always felt that something was wrong.

In the middle of the night he sat up from his bed and looked through the window at the starry sky.

"It's too bright to sleep?" Rong Bai also woke up. Now that the workshop is on the right track, with the addition of Silent Voice, most of the things do not need to be made by hand.

"It's not. ”

"It's just too noisy. Rong Bai got up, walked to the window, and closed the window. The sound of insects outside suddenly became a lot quieter: "It's really a little noisy outside, and it's a little hot with the windows closed." ”

Rong Bai wiped his sweat, summer is here. Rong Bai has been in this world for two years, and two years of life have made Rong Bai feel that he is a lot squeamish. At least, the current Rong Bai really can't imagine how he could survive in a world above fifty degrees before.

Taking a breath, Rong Bai opened the door and went out.

It was too hot for her to sleep without cooling measures.

Rong Bai's small courtyard has an ice cellar, in fact, rich families in the capital will more or less get an ice cellar, and the entrance to their ice cellar is outside Rong Bai's room.

After a while, Rong Bai returned to the room with the ice cube. Ice water spilled on the floor, and the room suddenly cooled down.

"Hengqing, I just saw that there is still the prey that Xiao Heng hunted last winter in the ice cellar. Wrap the ice cubes in many layers with cotton cloth and put them in a place next to Hengqing: "I'll make it for you tomorrow, and the meat of the earth dragon, it looks good." ”

In addition to ice cubes, there are more things that are not easy to preserve.

Hengqing is not hot, unlike Rong Bai, Hengqing's body has been lacking exercise, and he is already cold. In the summer, the climate is just right, and in the winter it is a little cold.

Stretched out his hand and pulled Rong Bai to the side of the ice cube: "It's been half a year since that meat." ”

"It's only half a year. Rong Bai shrugged. "Our ice cellar is much better than other ice cellars, the ice cellar designed by Xiao Heng, as long as it is frozen, let alone half a year, it is ten years, and the things taken out can also be eaten. ”

"Xiaobai, don't talk big, ten years of things have long been rotten. Hengqing replied with a smile.

Not to mention ten years, even the corpse of Xia Ying last time, even if you try to preserve it, in just ten days, it will begin to decompose. If it weren't for luck, I really don't know if I could rely on a corpse to bring down Bai Mo in the end.

"How come!" Rong Bai disagreed: "At that time, we ate vegetables that had been frozen for more than ten years many times. Rong Bai was puzzled.

Vegetables, not to mention frozen for ten years, are frozen for a hundred years, as long as they do not deteriorate, what cannot be eaten!

Hengqing was speechless, in his eyes, even if the meal was placed in the well water, he could only eat one more meal. Not to mention, the unsmoked meat will be taken out and eaten after half a year.

Rong Bai didn't care, and pressed Hengqing to the bed: "You have a good rest, I see that you have lost weight recently, I remember that the venison is a big supplement, make a little for you." ”

Hengqing had no choice but to lie on the bed obediently, he didn't plan to eat any venison that had been left for half a year.

The next day, Hengqing, who originally planned to stop Rong Bai from doing dark cooking, finally had no chance to stop her, because a pill appeared on the new emperor's dragon case.

That pill is the elixir that His Majesty has been eating. However, under the elixir, there is a formula for the elixir, and every medicinal material on the formula is indicated with toxicity.

That's right, it's poison, and what the first emperor has been taking all along, is not an elixir at all, but a poison. The Taiyi's pulse case also proves this, and the dragon veins that are regularly invited are indeed becoming more and more dangerous after taking the elixir. It's a pity that the effect of the elixir is really immediate, and His Majesty couldn't have imagined that the drug would have such serious side effects.

However, this elixir was paid tribute by the master in charge of the palace to worship the heavens, and to put it bluntly, it was prepared by the people of the Ministry of Rites.

No one knows how this thing got to the imperial study at this time, but it is obvious that everyone will not react to this thing.

Seeing this thing, His Majesty immediately asked the imperial doctor to verify it. As a result, it was obvious that there was no problem with that recipe at all! What materials were the elixir indeed made of, and even the medicinal effect was the same as the formula!

Therefore, the new emperor must face a problem and find out the cause of the death of the first emperor.

Because, after this episode, everyone knew that the death of the first emperor was not a normal disease, but a deliberate murder by someone. Ordinary murder is killed, but if the new emperor doesn't investigate this matter, then it really can't be said.

To say that the only person trusted by the new emperor is Yun Ji. Therefore, as soon as this matter broke out, the new emperor went directly to Yunji. I don't know when Hengqing is no longer his first person to ask for, he has left the young man in a wheelchair, he has left Hengqing behind. Even, when I saw him in the court, I would deliberately avoid his gaze.

"Your Majesty, don't you let Hengqing know about this matter?" Yun Ji was very confident in Hengqing's ability: "If it is him, he must know something." ”

"Yuyu. The new emperor sighed: "Hengqing, I can indeed know something, but I don't want to hear those conclusions!"
