393: The Price of Death

In less than half a month, several things happened in the capital that shocked the court.

On the other side, Qin Lou didn't expect that he would lose so miserably.

He is now under house arrest, and what awaits him is a glass of poisoned wine.

Lost, lost.

In fact, since the death of his mother, his end has long been doomed.

It's only a matter of time before you leave.

"The eldest prince, this is a fine wine specially given to you by the emperor." The old eunuch standing in front of Qin Lou showed some sarcasm on his face, "I hope the eldest prince can taste it well, this is the emperor's intention." ”

After speaking, he asked the little eunuch behind him to bring up the wine bottle.

The wine has a faint fragrance, and if it is a weekday, Qin Lou will definitely be overjoyed. But now......

The corners of Qin Lou's eyes were a little sour, and he was terrified in his heart.

He knew that in front of him was a glass of poisoned wine. As long as he drank a little bit, he would bleed and die a miserable death.

It's just that Qin Lou never thought that this matter would come so quickly, and his father finally didn't want to take care of it, so little bit of father-son affection.

Qin Lou closed his eyes and leaned weakly on the chair on the side.

Since he was born, he has enjoyed a life of fine clothes and food. He had almost forgotten what he had studied hard for.

When he was young, his father would always look at the sixth brother, and sometimes reprimand the fourth brother for being cowardly and incompetent.

At that time, he kept thinking that he must be better than the sixth brother, otherwise one day he would become a person like the fourth brother, and he was afraid that he would be disliked by his father. The father had many children. Although he is the eldest son, he is a concubine after all.

Since ancient times, there has been a difference between respect and inferiority.

He should not be weak and incompetent like those concubines.

Only when he is powerful can he be recognized by his father, and he can be able to make his father look at him alone.

"The Great Prince?" The old eunuch was a little displeased, "This is the emperor's wish, are you really unwilling to accept it?" ”

Qin Lou opened his eyes, his face was very pale. He was not reconciled. That's how it lost.

Moreover, he lost so badly.

"You dogs, I'm the great prince of Great Qin, is it your turn to talk nonsense here?" Qin Lou's eyes widened. Roared at the old eunuch. "You eunuch. Did you ask my father to give me these poisonous wines? I tell you that I am the prince and you are just a lackey. Do you think you're doing this to make your father happy? ”

The old eunuch didn't expect that Qin Lou was still dying until now.

He trembled with anger, and his voice suddenly sharpened, "The eldest prince? This is the emperor's nostalgia for the old love, otherwise you are still the eldest prince today? Moreover, the eldest prince once regarded the emperor as his father, and you dared to poison the emperor's dishes, which is simply rebellious. ”

Qin Lou heard the old eunuch's words, walked in front of the little eunuch, and directly waved the wine bottle in the little eunuch's hand. His eyes were full of anger, "If it weren't for me, how could I have poisoned my father's dishes?" I've said it many times, it's not me, it's not me......"

Qin Lou didn't understand why the dishes he specially sent to Emperor Jianguang were highly poisonous.

He personally asked a celebrity chef to make these dishes, and he also had people test for poison at that time. But I didn't expect that when they were sent to the palace, these dishes became poisonous.

He knelt in front of Emperor Jianguang and cried to explain that he had not poisoned him.

But Emperor Jianguang was angry, how could he believe Qin Lou's words at that time, Emperor Jianguang didn't listen to Qin Lou's explanation. In the end, Qin Lou was put under house arrest again.

After Qin Lou returned home, he realized that someone was deliberately trying to harm him.

Who is trying to harm him?

Could it be the sixth brother?

Seeing that Qin Lou was so reckless, the old eunuch angrily said to the guards behind him: "The emperor has an order, if the eldest prince is unwilling to drink, he will give three feet of white silk." ”

The guards standing behind the old eunuch were Jinyi Guards, and their commander was Xue Cheng. At this time, after the old eunuch spoke, Xue Cheng nodded to the people behind him, and the group of people rushed up to control Qin Lou.

Qin Lou was struggling so hard at this time, he didn't want to die in this place.

For his part, he has not yet accomplished what he wanted to do.

What made Qin Lou feel most terrifying was that he also sent someone to ask Cinnabar for help. But Cinnabar seemed to have completely evaporated in the world, and no matter how his subordinates looked for it, they couldn't find Cinnabar. At this time, Qin Lou felt that he was completely calculated.

Before, what Cinnabar asked him to do in the capital was nothing more than to attract the attention of the Li family and Xiao Jiu.

He is now just a bait, a pawn for Cinnabar to test the strength of Xiao Jiu and the Li family.

"Heh, Qin Xian, it's Qin Xian......" Qin Lou shouted, he shouted heartbreakingly, "It's Qin Xian, this brute." ”

Cinnabar would come to frame him, and pretended to support him, and gave him a lot of silver, but in fact, it was to dispel his defense. If he had been more low-key a few days ago and had no intention of rebellion, then perhaps one day, Emperor Jianguang would have listened to his explanation.

Qin Lou's whole body was weak, he knew that he had fallen into the trap of Qin Xian and Cinnabar, but he was unwilling.

He widened his eyes, looked at Xue Cheng who was standing beside him, and smiled: "Commander Xue, is your brother okay lately?" ”

Xue Cheng looked undeserved, and said with a faint smile: "Thank you for your concern, my brother has been doing well lately." ”

"Also, Scholar Li has treated him as his right and left hand over the years, so he is naturally good to him." Qin Lou showed a sarcastic smile, "Actually, I'm not reconciled, you Xue family, why ...... Oh, what if I'm not reconciled, the rivers and mountains of Daqin in the coming days are also his Qin Xian's. When the time comes, whether it is your Xue family, or the Li family, or even Xiao Jiu, who thinks he is superior, will become a funeral object like me. Commander Xue, I'm waiting for you under the spring, and ...... The fire in Yecheng burned beautifully, but it was not thorough enough. ”

Xue Cheng is a member of the Xue family, and his elder brother is Xue Wu, and Xue Wu has been at odds with the Xue family since he was a child, and he became by Li Changfeng's side a long time ago.

The Xue family once encountered a mansion, and someone framed them for colluding with the people of the Western Regions and wanted to kill Emperor Jianguang. At that time, the Queen Mother was still alive, and after she heard the news, she wanted to deal with the Xue family as soon as possible.

At that time, it was Xue Wu, who had been away from home for many years, who knelt in front of Li Changfeng and begged Li Changfeng to save the people of the Xue family.

On that day, Xue Cheng was also in the Li family.

Li Changfeng asked Xue Wu: "Back then, they disliked you and forced you to leave home, but now, do you want to save them?" Xue Wu, you are my person, I am willing to do my best to protect you, but they have nothing to do with me, so why should I take the risk of rebellion to save them? ”

Li Changfeng is a sane person, this matter was personally ordered by the Queen Mother, and it was very laborious to rescue these people from the hands of the Queen Mother.

Xue Wu put the dagger beside him in front of Li Changfeng, "The subordinates have a cheap life, from today onwards, the subordinates have nothing to do with the Xue family, the subordinates are born as members of the Li family, and dead as the Li family's dogs." ”

Xue Cheng was surprised by his brother's words, but he was even more surprised by Li Changfeng's words later.

"I've had all your loyalty." Li Changfeng pushed Xue Wu's dagger away, "You are the Xue family, these will not change." I will help the Xue family today because you are my person. ”

After speaking, Li Changfeng looked at Xue Cheng and said softly, "The Xue family, I owe Xue Wu." ”

After that, Li Changfeng took a lot of effort to get the Xue family out of this disaster that was supposed to destroy the whole family. The Queen Mother believed the evidence sent by Li Changfeng, but after that, the Queen Mother didn't like the Li family very much.

Emperor Jianguang would take into account the thoughts of the Queen Mother to some extent, and he did not value the people of the Li family as much as before.

When Xue Cheng thought of this, his expression still didn't change, but he was puzzled, "Why?" ”

"Did it rain that day?" Qin Lou smiled and struggled away, and then snatched the white silk from the little eunuch's hand, "I remember, it doesn't seem to be raining, right?" If it didn't rain, why didn't those warehouses burn thoroughly enough, and they weren't clean enough? ”

Qin Lou's movements were fast, and when he finished saying these words, Bai Aya had already tied the knot.

He looked at Xue Cheng and added, "Scholar Li has been smart for a lifetime, but he was confused for a while. It didn't rain, it didn't rain that day...... Not clean enough. ”

Qin Lou kept saying this sentence like a madman.

When he put the white silk in his neck, tears finally couldn't help but slip from the corners of his eyes.

"Mother, I'm not smart enough." Qin Lou remembered that when he was a child, he studied hard and stood in front of people desperately, just to make his mother smile happily, just to let his father notice him. It's just that in the back, the temptation of the throne is so great that he forgets what he had in mind at first.

"Bang ......"

The stool left Qin Lou's feet, and Xue Cheng hurriedly stood a little farther away, he watched Qin Lou struggle in the air.

Such a person does not get anything from beginning to end.

Xue Cheng sighed secretly in his heart, but because the people around the six princes were still around, he didn't say anything, just did what he had to do.

The old eunuch glanced at Xue Cheng, so he said tentatively: "Commander Xue, are you still in contact with Xue Wu?" ”

"The Xue family doesn't have this person." Xue Cheng showed a displeased look, "If my father-in-law has nothing else to do, I will leave." ”

The old eunuch showed a flattering look, "Our family is offended." ”

Xue Cheng's face was very cold, and he didn't bother with the old eunuch anymore, but turned around and took the people around him, and quickly left the house.

The old eunuch waited for Xue Cheng to leave before he spat at his back: "Dog thing." ”

Xue Cheng is a person who practices martial arts, he naturally heard the words of the old eunuch, if he had been in the past, he might have stepped forward to theorize, but now he really didn't have this mood.

He had been thinking about Qin Lou's words just now, and it was obvious that Qin Lou's words were deliberately said to him.

But what Qin Lou said was too complicated, and he couldn't understand it at all.

Xue Cheng began to worry, how could these words reach Li Changfeng's side? (To be continued......)
