Chapter 1114: Cheng Xin is sick
Cheng Xin slept soundly in the prisoner car, just as the soldier who guarded him said, his face was ruddy, and his complexion was very good, as if he was sleeping. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
But Zhao Yuan knew that there were many kinds of poisons on the rivers and lakes now, many of which would make the face of the poisoned person better, and some hidden weapons could also achieve such an effect. Just looking at your face doesn't say anything.
To find out what's going on tomorrow night, it's best to wake him up and ask him carefully.
The soldier who was guarding Cheng Cheng pushed hard a few times, and Cheng Cheng Cheng made a muffled "whirring" sound in his mouth, and he woke up after a while.
When he opened his eyes, there was nothing different, except for a small black-green bruise on the whites of his eyes.
The guards and the soldiers in charge of it were relieved to see that Cheng Xin was fine, and immediately said to Zhao Yuan: "The minister made a big fuss and disturbed the emperor, and asked the emperor for forgiveness." ”
Zhao Yuan's face did not mean to be relaxed at all, as if it was even more gloomy than just now.
At this moment, Cheng Xinxin, who came to his senses, suddenly opened his mouth: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to say." ”
The guards and others were shocked by this sentence, their eyes widened, and they turned back in disbelief. It turned out that since this Cheng Xin was imprisoned, he didn't say a word and was bent on death. No matter what others asked him, he didn't say a word and didn't say anything.
What's going on today, could it be that you have figured it out and want to confess to your comrades?
The soldiers guarding him were overjoyed, but no one dared to open the prisoner cart for him without Zhao Yuan's nod.
Zhao Yuan pursed his lips, nodded and said, "Bring him here." ”
After all, Cheng Xin is an old friend who has known Zhao Yuan for many years, although according to national law, Zhao Yuan had to lock him up. But in his heart, Zhao Yuan didn't want to embarrass him, and even wanted to spare his life after returning to Luoyang.
But Cheng Xin's attitude in the past few days is stinky and hard, Zhao Yuan doesn't want to reduce his guilt, and he can't find a reason. Since he wants to speak today, let him please talk to Chu and give Zhao Yuan a step down, so that Zhao Yuan can also take him lightly.
Regarding Cheng Xin's sudden appearance on his way back to Beijing, Zhao Yuan's heart was like a mirror.
The relationship between the queen and Cheng Xin has been close in recent years, and Zhao Yuan has also heard about it. But he has always done something to the queen, firstly, the queen's father and brother have been quite honest in the court these days, although the power is not small, but there is no such thing as forming a party.
In addition, the queen has a lot of contacts with Cheng Xin, and she is only limited to deliberately wooing her, and there is no behavior that crosses the line, which is not an excessive behavior in the harem. After all, the queen is still young, and in order to stabilize her power, she must have a good relationship with the ministers. Otherwise, when encountering tricky things in the future, the DPRK will only have her mother's family to support her, and the situation will be very passive.
Although the queen did not cross the line, Cheng Xin was overzealous with the queen's orders. Take this incident as an example, Zhao Yuan picked up a beauty from Northern Xinjiang and came back, which had nothing to do with Cheng Xin, he actually hurried over, and even saw that Zhao Yuan was extremely fond of this beauty, and he wanted to assassinate her regardless of it.
It can be seen that his feelings for the queen and the queen's feelings for him do not seem to be equal, which is not Cheng Xin's consistent style. Could it be that he has other plans?
Thinking of this, Zhao Yuan's face became more and more difficult to look at. He lifted his shirt and sat on the throne brought by the guards, and looked down majestically at Cheng Xin, who was kneeling below, and said, "If you have anything to say, tell me quickly!" ”
Cheng Xin was held up, trembling for a while before slowly getting up, looking at Zhao Yuan and rolling his eyes, he said, "Your Majesty, I know someone is going to kill you!" ”
Zhao Yuan and Cheng Xin have known each other for decades, and they have never seen him like this, and they are wondering in their hearts, and when they hear him say such things, they are even more surprised, so they ask: "Who wants to kill me?" ”
"You lean over here." Cheng Xin said with a hippie smile: "Come here, I'll tell you ......"
"Bold thief! How dare you shout at the emperor here! The captain of the guard looked at Cheng Xin with a strange look, he had no humble attitude towards the king, his demeanor was rude, and his tone was weird, and he had long looked at him unpleasantly.
Zhao Yuan didn't move, but just glanced at the captain of the guard, which meant "You go over and see what's going on."
The captain of the guard came to Cheng Xin with a knife in his hand, and said angrily: "If you have anything to say, I will report it to the emperor." ”
Unexpectedly, Cheng Xin's eyes suddenly widened, he stretched his neck out, stared at the captain of the guard for a long time, and suddenly said, "I have a secret to tell you!" ”
The captain of the guard looked at him dirty and filthy, and he was very unappetizing, but with the emperor's order, he could only lean over.
Cheng Xin opened his mouth and said: "I know who is going to kill the emperor, it is the people in the deep mountains of Shu Kingdom, and they have all begun to sharpen their knives!" ”
The captain of the guard widened his eyes in surprise when he heard this: "When the emperor leveled the south, the Shu Kingdom had already been destroyed, why did there be another Shu Kingdom?" Could it be that some of the remnants of the past have not been purged? ”
Cheng Xin stuck out his tongue and said, "Exactly, exactly." ”
Hearing this, the captain of the guard also became nervous: "Do you mean that your assassination of Sun Meiren was also instigated by these people?" ”
"No, no, there's someone else." Cheng Xin looked at him straight and said, "You get closer, I'll tell you." ”
After getting important information just now, the captain of the guard didn't dare to slack off at this time, and immediately moved closer to Cheng Xin.
When Cheng Xin felt that the captain of the guard was close enough, he suddenly pounced forward, stretched out his tongue and licked the face of the captain of the guard, and said vaguely: "Yan'er, you want to kill me, you want to kill me......"
The captain of the guard was a dignified seven-foot man, and he had suffered such humiliation, so he suddenly turned pale with anger, and punched him heavily in the chest.
Zhao Yuan calmly opened his mouth at this time: "Cheng Xin is already crazy, what he said is all nonsense, don't take it seriously, take him down and detain him." ”
The captain of the guard took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped the saliva on his cheeks, but still said angrily: "Your Majesty, this person will not pretend to be crazy and stupid, and want to escape punishment." ”
Zhao Yuan shook his head: "His expression and posture don't look like they're pretending." If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't bear the pressure and went crazy, someone fed him insane drugs last night, otherwise he would never have become like this. ”
When the captain of the guard heard this, he became serious and said, "The minister must strictly investigate what happened last night." ”
Zhao Yuan looked a little tired, stood up and said: "It's almost time to arrive in the capital, and those who want to do great rebellious things will definitely seize this last opportunity." You must step up your precautions. ”
After telling this, Zhao Yuan began to walk towards the carriage, but Cheng Xin's words just now always echoed in his ears: "Yan'er, miss me, miss me......"
