Chapter 66: Poisoning
"Your Majesty, be careful!" Rui Wang slammed over the teacup in Liang Yinhao's hand, and the porcelain cup filled with boiling hot tea fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Yin Zheng, who was waiting outside, heard a strange movement in the house, and immediately rushed into the house with his people. As soon as Yin Zheng stepped into the house, he saw that everyone in the room was standing in a hurry, looking at each other, and the broken teacups on the ground were still wafting with heat. Yin Zheng's eyes were quick, and he stepped forward to control the little guy serving the tea, waiting for the emperor's order.
Liang Yinhao didn't seem to have recovered from the sudden shock, he looked at the little guy, and then at King Rui, who bowed his head and was silent, and asked inexplicably: "Fifth brother, what are you doing here?" ”
King Rui's eyes were fixed on the debris on the ground, and he took a deep breath, his pale face even more dejected. In the end, King Rui said with difficulty: "This tea is poisonous. ”
Rui Wang's angry words were heard in everyone's ears, like a thunderclap, and everyone couldn't help but gasp in shock. Just when everyone was stunned and at a loss, Mu Qing took the lead in speaking, with a stern voice in his clear voice. "King Rui, do you know what a sin it is to murder the Holy One?"
King Rui smiled dismally, met Concubine Chen's scrutinizing eyes with cold eyes, and asked rhetorically, "Does Niangniang think that I want to poison the imperial brother?" ”
Mu Qing paused, glanced at Liang Yinhao, and the two of them immediately understood the meaning of King Rui's words. If it was really King Rui who deliberately wanted to poison the emperor, then he had almost already succeeded, so why bother to knock over the teacup and not admit himself?
Although Yin Zheng is a martial artist, after all, he has followed the emperor for many years, and he still has the ability to observe words and feelings. As soon as he saw that the emperor's face was wrong, he immediately grabbed the subordinate in his hand and asked fiercely, "Who are you?" Why poison the emperor? ”
The man cried and shouted for mercy: "The emperor is wronged! The little one is just an ordinary miscellaneous person in King Rui's mansion, and he doesn't know that this tea is poisonous! ”
"Don't you say yes?" Yin Zheng's face was gloomy, and as soon as his voice fell, he twisted one of the other party's arms with a force on his wrist. The man's face was distorted in pain, and he screamed for mercy. At this time, Yin Zheng coldly threatened: "If you don't tell the truth again, I'll break your other arm now!" ”
The man is not a hard bone, hearing Yin Zheng say this, he immediately turned pale with fright, and confessed urgently: "I said I said!" I am Huo Xiang sent to King Rui's mansion to monitor King Rui's eyeliner. ”
When everyone heard this, they gasped again, all of them were silent, and the corners of their eyes looked at the emperor's face as if they were nothing. At this moment, Liang Yinhao's complexion has turned from white to red, and his feelings have also changed from surprise to annoyance. He walked slowly towards the man, his face as cold as ice, and asked in a deep voice, "So... Did Huo Xiang ask you to poison the tea? ”
"Nope! The emperor is shengming, the little one will never dare to do anything in the emperor's tea, the little one is wronged! The man looked innocent, and his face was full of tears because of the pain.
At this time, Mu Qing walked up to Liang Yinhao with elegant steps, and said softly: "Your Majesty, the concubine's maid Zhu Yu also knows a little bit about medical skills, and she also has some research on poisons, why don't you let the concubine's maid see if there are any clues in this tea?" ”
Liang Yinhao lowered his head and thought about it, Concubine Chen's maid could not be Huo Pei'an's person or Rui Wang's person, it was most suitable to choose a neutral person to check, so he nodded slightly to give permission.
Zhu Yu leaned over to receive the order, carefully picked up a broken fragment on the ground, moved it to the tip of her nose, carefully sniffed it, and bowed her head and replied: "Back to the emperor, there are indeed some acacia flowers added to this tea." Acacia flowers have an excellent effect on patients with light sleep and stagnation, but if they are taken too much for a long time, they will make the eater feel sleepy and tired, and over time, the body will become weaker and weaker, and he will not think about tea and rice. ”
Liang Yinhao didn't speak after listening to Zhu Yu's explanation, but Mu Qingrao said meaningfully: "Nervous, weak body? Isn't that a symptom of His Royal Highness King Rui? So many doctors couldn't find out the cause, it turned out that the acacia flower was making trouble. ”
Liang Yinhao was shocked, his face became more and more gloomy, he looked down at the man who was kneeling on the ground trembling, like a god contemptuous of the most humble ants, and asked in a hoarse voice: "This kind of despicable means is also taught to you by Huo Pei'an?" Do you not only want to use the plot to kill King Rui, but also use the same trick to poison me?! ”
"The emperor has been wronged!" As soon as the man heard that he was accused of attempting to kill the king, he was immediately paralyzed with fright, and he confessed it all without even a trial. "Huo Xiang did order the villain to add too much acacia flowers to King Rui's usual tea diet, but... But Huo Xiang only said that he poisoned King Rui alone. The small one has absolutely no intention of poisoning the emperor! As for why there are acacia flowers in this tea, I really don't know if it's small! ”
"No?!" Liang Yinhao sneered at the corners of his mouth, and the cold light from his eyes was like two sharp blades. "You dog..."
Liang Yinhao strode towards the man angrily, but was stopped by King Rui at this time. "Brother Huang, don't worry! Huo Xiang will never mean to poison you, today's incident, I think it is just a misunderstanding of the deputy car. Please also ask the emperor not to be angry. ”
"Hit the passenger car by mistake?" Liang Yinhao looked at King Rui in surprise, thought for a moment, and then his face gradually eased, and then asked, "Fifth brother, you already know that there is something wrong with the people in the house?" You already knew that your illness was Huo Pei'an's handiwork? ”
King Rui hung his head and was silent, his original pair of bright eyes full of sorrow and sadness. After a while, he replied in a hoarse voice: "Brother... Indeed, it has been perceived for a long time. ”
Everyone present was shocked by King Rui's answer. Who in this world knows that there is an enemy lurking around him, and still allows him to act recklessly? Who knows that their diet is mixed with poison and is willing to eat it? What's more, this person is still a prince of the court, which is really incredible. However, the person who was most surprised was Liang Yinhao himself, he never thought that Huo Pei'an would dare to do such an outrageous thing behind his back, and he didn't expect that King Rui would swallow his anger about it, and even at this time, he didn't mean to complain. Liang Yinhao looked up and down at the younger brother standing in front of him, and he suddenly felt that he had never really seen him clearly for so many years.
Liang Yinhao asked inexplicably: "Since you already knew, why are you silent?" ”
Rui Wang's eyelashes flashed, and he remained silent, but his slightly distorted face was full of helplessness and embarrassment. Liang Yinhao knew that in front of so many people, it was really inappropriate to discuss this matter in depth, so he ordered: "You all go down, King Rui just stays." Everyone else is waiting outside! ”
Since the emperor had spoken, everyone had no choice but to bow their heads and take orders, and bowed down one by one and retreated. Only the emperor and King Rui were left in the room, and the atmosphere seemed a little cramped and a little weird.
"Okay, now the fifth brother can talk, right?" Liang Yinhao said in a deep voice, "Why do you pretend to be deaf and dumb? ”
