Xiao Rongzi touched the ground with his head and said, "At the end of the first month, Yuehan Gonggong, the apprentice of Yuefu Grand Gonggong, gave me a large package of concocted herbs, saying that it is a rare herb for treating asthma and cough, and I only need to add a pinch to the stove every day. Since he is the person of Yuefu's father-in-law, I did not tell the imperial doctor, but did it every day. ”

Calmly kicked him to the ground. Imperial Physician Zhang pointed at Xiao Rongzi and scolded: "You stupid worm! Stupid worm! ”

Yan Ran continued to ask, "Is there still that package of medicine?" ”

"There's a little left, on the medicine shelf in the division's pharmacy."

Yan Ran looked at Tai Ran, the two of them had the same mind, stood up, and took the two imperial doctors, together with the decoction medicine attendant, to the pharmacy.

There are rows of medicine shelves against the wall of the pharmacy, and the medicines to be decocted by everyone in the palace are placed on them. In a small drawer on the inside of the shelf, Xiao Rongzi took out a small package. Yan Ran opened it in front of the two imperial doctors, and sure enough, it was a small handful of black plant branches and leaves, and when Imperial Doctor Zhang picked one up and smelled it, he could only sigh.

Sure enough, it is a highly poisonous plum branch and leaf.

Tairan's face turned pale, and he said, "At this time, I have to explain to my father, and I have to trouble the two imperial doctors to go with me." ”

The two imperial physicians, Zhang and Fang, nodded again and again.

Yanran hesitated. She was worried that her father's body would not be able to stand such stimulation. But thinking that this matter involved the people around him after all, it was inconvenient for her and Tairan to deal with it, so they had to follow Tairan to Yuede Palace.

In the Yuede Palace, Xie Zhenfei was having breakfast, and Yuexi was on duty, saying that Concubine An Shu was serving inside.

Seeing a large group of them, especially Yanran, who could make the official family happy, Yuexi went in to report without saying a word of obstruction. He came out in a while and said that the official family let them in.

Yan Ran calmly led people into the inner hall, and saw Xie Zhenyu reclining on the soft couch, with two or three soft cushions behind him. Concubine An Shu was waiting for them in front of the door.

Yanran saw Concubine An for the first time, and after greeting each other, she saw that Concubine An Shufei had a slender figure, a long round face, and clear eyes, and she was really gentle and amiable. Knowing that they were in a hurry, she smiled and pulled Yanran and said, "Your Majesty has been reading you for seven years, and this time you can be regarded as coming back." You speak first, and then we will speak. ”

Yanran nodded, and An Shufei smiled and went out to avoid. Over there, Xie Zhenfei was already calling from the bed: "Yanran, what is the urgent matter to find me?" ”

Yan Ran hurriedly ran to Xie Zhenyu's bedside and said, "Father, I found out that someone poisoned your medicinal juice, and the matter is very important, so I don't dare to call the shots, so I have come to ask for instructions." ”

Xie Zhenfei was really frightened and immediately gasped. Yan Ran hurriedly rubbed his chest: "Father, your body is important, be calm!" ”

Imperial Physician Zhang and Imperial Physician Fang fell to the ground as soon as they entered the door, and the two little attendants knelt outside the door, shaking like chaff.

Xie Zhenfei looked at the two imperial doctors on the ground, and then turned his gaze to Tairan: "You tell the matter before and after!" ”

Tai Ran smelled the smell of Qianli Mei from Yan Ran, and then the two of them interrogated the imperial doctor and the decoction medicine attendant at night, and finally told Xie Zhenyu about the suspicion of Yuefu's father-in-law.

Xie Zhenfei calmed down at this time, after all, he was a person who had gone through countless experiences on the field of life and death. Asked: "Where is Xiao Rongzi?" Let him tell Yuehan about it again. ”

Xiao Rongzi walked in on his knees, repeated what Yuehan had said two months ago, and calmly presented the package wrapped in thousands of miles to Xie Zhenyu.

The cold light in Xie Zhen's eyes shone directly, and asked Yanran to call Yuexi and said, "Go and find Yuefu and Yuehan." ”

Yuexi agreed, and said hesitantly: "Official, that Yuehan will go home on leave at the end of the month, and he is not in the palace." ”

Xie Zhen said hatefully: "Then call Yuefu here!" ”

Yan Ran knew in her heart that Yuehan would definitely not come back. Either they fled, or they were killed by the mastermind behind the scenes.

Soon Yuefu hurried over, and when he saw the people kneeling on the ground in the hall, he also knelt down under Xie Zhen's bed.

Xie Zhen said: "Yuefu, how many years have you been by my side?" ”

Yuefu replied: "Back to the official's house, it's been seven years!" ”

"It's been seven years! What skills have you learned in the past seven years? Is it eating inside and out, plotting to kill the emperor? ”

Yue Fu was startled, kowtowed in fright, and said in a trembling voice: "Official, official!" The old slave didn't dare, the old slave only knew how to serve the official family wholeheartedly. ”

Xie Zhenyu waved his hand in annoyance and glanced at it calmly. Calmly continued: "Raise your head and speak!" Yuehan is your apprentice, right? Where is he now? ”

Yuefu raised his head, blood was dripping on his forehead, and said: "Back to Your Highness, Yuehan is the apprentice of the old slave, at the end of the first month of this year, he said that his mother in his hometown was seriously ill and returned to his hometown on leave, and he has not returned yet." ”

"Where is his hometown?"

"In Changling County, south of the Yuezhao Country."

Xie Zhenyu pondered for a moment and said, "Changling? I remember that Guo Bohan is also from Changling. ”

Yan Ran glanced at Tai Ran, and Tai Ran was also looking at her.

calmly threw the package wrapped in Qianli Mei in front of Yuefu and shouted, "Did you instruct Yuehan to send this medicine to the pharmacy for Xiao Rongzi to fry?" ”

Yue Fu was stunned for a moment, then kowtowed again, and said, "Your Highness, the old slave has never taken any medicine to the pharmacy, please Your Highness to find out!" ”

Tairan sneered: "Now that Yuehan has escaped, you naturally refuse to admit it." But you can't get out of it anyway! He turned to Xie Zhenyu and said, "Father, except for Yuehan, the rest of the people involved are here." I suggest that Yuefu and Xiaorongzi be detained for dereliction of duty first, and then convicted after Yuehan is traced. ”

Xie Zhen said: "That's it, you are fully responsible for this matter." ”

At that moment, he calmly summoned the guards outside the door, put Xiao Rongzi and Yuefu in prison, and strictly ordered the two imperial doctors and Xiao Lianzi to be banned. After that, everyone was dismissed, leaving only himself and Yanran in the temple.

Yan Ran saw that there was still a bowl full of medicinal juice on the table next to her, so she instructed the attendant to pour out the medicine, and said, "Father, you will postpone drinking medicine today, and in the future, your medicine will be fried in Bitong Palace, and you will no longer fake others." Later, I will go to open a prescription and let the Yuegui and Yueda in my house be fried and sent over. ”

Xie Zhenfu stared at Yan Ran and said slowly, "How long do I have to live?" ”

He was very clear. I thought I was just an old disease, but now I know that my time may be running out.

Yan Ran knelt down and said, "Father, your wheezing was not a big deal, but now there is too much poison in your body...... It's my lack of ability! She burst into tears.

Xie Zhenyu said softly: "Yanran, my father is a hero, and he is not afraid of death, it doesn't hurt if you say it directly." ”

"For two months, I tried my best to maintain it with medication, up to three months." Calmly squatted down beside her, stretching out his sleeve to wipe her tears.

Xie Zhenyu's eyes darkened, and after a while, he said tiredly: "Cause and effect reincarnation, retribution is not happy!" However, I must not lose the country in my hands. Yanran, my life for these two months is in your hands, and I still have a lot of things to do. Calmly, tomorrow I will announce to the world and hold a crown prince canonization ceremony! ”

Calmly "bang" and knelt down, although he didn't speak, the look on his face said it all: he didn't want to!

Xie Zhenyu was furious. Yan Ran was afraid that their father and son would clash again, so she hurriedly cried to Tai Ran: "Brother, you just agree, instead of delaying and being taken advantage of the opportunity to be assassinated, it is better to settle the matter, let them not expect it, and we can also take the initiative!" ”

Xie Zhen said: "Son! Don't you understand? You were almost poisoned, and now I have been poisoned, so does it mean that they are plotting against a prince? It's the whole moon! If you refuse to inherit the throne, you are misleading the country and mistaking! ”
