Chapter 430: Sudden Calm
It's dawn......
Qi You opened his tired eyes and looked down to see Xibao sleeping next to him, his expression was slightly relaxed, he stroked Xibao's equally tired sleeping face, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and said to himself: "It's good to have you." ”
At this time, Gonggong Xue asked in a low voice outside the Warm Pavilion of the Heart Cultivation Palace: "Your Majesty, do you still want to go on as usual this morning?" ”
Qi You was stunned for a moment, lifted the brocade quilt that Xibao had slipped off his waist, and then quietly got up and went out of the warm pavilion and asked, "Is it time?" ”
Gonggong Xue looked at Qi You's haggard face and said distressedly: "There is still half an hour, the emperor might as well lie down again." ”
Qi You yawned and said, "No, tell someone to come in and wait for me to bathe and change clothes." ”
Gonggong Xue said with a worried face: "Your Majesty, this is a small dynasty, it doesn't hurt to go once in a while, you were very tired yesterday, and you couldn't close your eyes at night, can your body still stand it?" ”
Qi You rubbed the vicissitudes of his face and smiled: "I can still bear this bit of suffering." ”
Xue Gonggong knew that the emperor in front of him had always been strong, but seeing that he had experienced such a thing and faced it with a smile, he was very wronged for him in his heart, if it was true, this imperial power brought not only supreme power and glory, but also the secrets in the palace that could not be revealed, even if he was bruised all over his body, he still had to maintain the majesty of an emperor, which was very similar to the previous emperor.
Qi You saw Gonggong Xue's worried look, and he also knew that he cared about himself, so he said: "You don't have to worry, since I ascended the throne as the emperor, I have been prepared like this, but I didn't expect it to be very involved, but I was a little frightened, but I am still the emperor in the end, I can't be afraid because of this, I am afraid, I have to continue!" ”
As soon as Qi You's words came out, Xue Gonggong knew Qi You's imperial measure, so he said, "Yes." As long as the emperor is firm, the old slave will naturally not worry anymore, you wait a minute, the old slave will go and call someone to come in and serve you to bathe and change clothes. ”
Qi You smiled: "That's good." By the way, be quiet, the concubine is still asleep inside, she was most tired yesterday, don't alarm her. Let her sleep, and you can send someone to keep watch over it. ”
Gonggong Xue said with a smile: "The old slave understands, the emperor can rest assured." ”
Qi You went to the court after some washing, and today the small court is also loose, but the absence of Qi Zhe, who is the prince, and Zhao Yunfan, the secretary of the criminal department, still makes everyone speculate.
A minister asked the palace supervisor on the side, "Why didn't these five princes and Lord Zhao come?" ”
The palace eunuch just said respectfully: "I returned yesterday, because the Criminal Department and the Military Department have important matters to deal with, so I have already asked for instructions." ”
"Something important?" Several other adults also disturbed: "What's the matter, why don't we know at all?" ”
The palace supervisor said: "The small ones are not clear. ”
As a result, the courtiers all started to talk about it, and everyone was speculating about what the important thing that could make the Fifth Prince and Lord Zhao of the Criminal Department absent at the same time.
The eldest prince on the side, the second prince was very calm. They all waited silently, and no one got involved in the discussion.
At this time, Gonggong Xue suddenly announced that he would go to court, and Qi You also sat on the dragon chair, and the dispute below disappeared with the sound of asking for peace.
Qi You sat on the seat and sighed lightly and said, "Zhongqing, let's get even." ”
Only then did the courtiers get up one after another, and when they looked up, everyone saw Qi You sitting on the dragon chair with a tired face.
A minister was concerned and said, "Your Majesty, you don't look very good today, but what happened?" ”
As soon as the minister's words came out, the other ministers all pricked up their ears and listened, because everyone could see that the emperor was looking very bad. It's like you haven't closed your eyes all night.
Qi You sighed lightly: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just that the prince in the palace is unwell, and I have been worried about it all night." ”
The princes who are still in the palace that can make the emperor worry are only the four princes. and the five princes, and the four princes were very favored, and a minister exclaimed: "But one of the four princes and the five princes? ”
Qi You didn't hide it: "Exactly, it's Qi Huanjin, the fifth prince of mine!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the ministers in the venue were all shocked, and they were surprised not that the fifth prince was unwell. Instead, he was surprised that the emperor was so concerned about this transparent fifth prince, not only worried about his body, but also worked hard all night, which was indeed too abnormal, and the slightly smarter minister had already guessed that something was wrong here.
As soon as he heard that his grandson had an accident, Prime Minister Le said: "Your Majesty, what is the illness of the fifth prince?" ”
Qi You looked at Le Zhengxian's worried look and just said two words: "Poisoned!" ”
Just these two words are like two drops of water dripping into the oil pot, which can instantly make the entire court explode, and Le Zhengxian is even more frightened.
And the eldest prince and the second prince on the side were stunned.
Qi You didn't care about the whispers of the courtiers, but continued: "I haven't slept all night in order to thoroughly investigate this matter, so I am not in good spirits, but I am pitiful and still unconscious. ”
Le Zhengxian said eagerly: "Can the emperor find out the real murderer?" ”
Qi You smiled slightly: "Half and half, it's still being investigated, what happened yesterday, I have ordered the Five Kings and Zhao Yunfan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, to deal with it." ”
At this point, everyone completely understands why they haven't seen the fifth prince and Lord Zhao today, and they have already known about the two of them last night, and the two of them are because they want to investigate such important matters, so everyone knows about the future.
But the prince poisoned them, as courtiers, it seems that it is really not good to interfere too much, after all, this matter is inseparable from those concubines in the harem, since it is a matter of the harem, the ministers in front of them will naturally not overstep their responsibilities.
However, the second prince said with a straight face: "Father, what can the sons and daughters help with the matter of the fifth brother?" ”
The eldest prince was also stunned and then followed: "Yes, father, what can the son of the fifth brother help with?" ”
Qi You smiled slightly: "In order to thoroughly investigate this time, the harem is under martial law, since it has been explained to your five uncles, I already know your intentions, if you need to, I will naturally arrange it, but this matter is also very strange, but you two are outside the palace to set up a mansion, and you have to be extra careful." ”
The eldest prince, the second prince heard Qi You say this, and said respectfully: "Yes, thank you for your father's concern." ”
Qi You rubbed the corners of his sour eyes and said, "What, is there anything else to do today?" ”
The ministers were exhausted when they saw that Qi You had poisoned the five princes, and they all replied with some painless things, and the early dynasty ended hastily.
This is the end of the morning. The lively thing really began, and the courtiers all knew about the poisoning of the five princes last night, and when they returned to the mansion and listened to the description of the children in the palace school, they knew that there was a big trouble.
And the eldest prince and his son knew that the harem was under martial law, and they still had to go to the harem to see their own concubine, so they probably wanted to ask about the situation.
At this time, Huan Yue, who was in Huayang Palace, was waiting for Yuan Bao, who went to inquire about the news, to come and talk back. After hearing the news yesterday, Huan Yan wanted to visit the palace as soon as possible, but she couldn't do anything about the martial law in the entire palace, until the martial law was lifted this morning, and Huan Yan rushed to the Changxin Palace of the concubine Xibao for the first time.
When I arrived at Changxin Palace, I learned that my mother had not returned last night. Huan Yan had an ominous premonition in her heart, she didn't dare to rush to the Heart Cultivation Palace, but instead bypassed the Heart Cultivation Palace to Huayang Palace to find her younger brother Huanyue.
As soon as he entered the door, Huan Yan said anxiously: "Brother, what happened yesterday?" ”
When Huan Yue saw that it was her sister, she sighed: "Why is my sister here?" ”
Huan Yan said angrily: "I heard yesterday that there was an accident on the palace side, but by the time I want to rush over, it is already under martial law in the whole palace, and I can't get close at all. Father, as well as Concubine De, Concubine Xian have all gone, I know in my heart that this matter is not trivial, but I can only be in a hurry, this is not just the ban, I want to go to the mother to ask about the situation, but the mother did not return last night, presumably in the Heart Cultivation Palace, I dare not rush forward. So I can only ask you first. ”
"Uh...... This matter is more complicated, and I don't know everything, and my mother and father don't want me to know about it, so they sent me and Yuanbao back. Didn't I let Yuan Bao go to find out the news. Huan Yue was a little embarrassed.
It's not that Huan Yue doesn't want to say it, but things are really beyond his imagination, and he hasn't digested it yet, he doesn't know how to explain it clearly to Huan Yan.
Huan Yan also frowned and said: "The accident in Gongxue is nothing more than the matter of more than a dozen of your students, it is not a trivial matter to be able to pass on so many imperial doctors, and I am afraid that they have fallen off the guard of the Imperial Forest Army." Let me ask you, are you involved? ”
"Is it implicated to be a near-miss victim?" Huanyue is not easy to say.
"What do you mean to be almost victimized, you're injured, there, I'll see!" When Huan Yan heard Huan Yue say this, he immediately broke Huan Yue's body and checked it.
Huan Yue saw that her sister was so nervous and said, "Oh, there is no skin injury, but my heart is very hurt, and it is a serious injury!" Huan Yue's heart churned for a night because of yesterday's events, all kinds of speculations, worries, assumptions, overthrows, and assumptions, his two bright black circles are already the best proof.
"Why is it really strict, I'm afraid I haven't slept all night looking at you like this, right?" Huan Yan said with concern.
Huan Yue said helplessly: "Knowing that someone wants to harm me, I can still sleep peacefully, no matter how big your brother's heart is, I won't be like this." ”
Huan Yan said: "Who harmed you? Could it be Concubine De and Concubine Xian, but I heard this morning that my father forbade them. ”
Huan Yue shook her head and said, "If only they were simple, Concubine Xian and Concubine De were only grounded because of the matter of the five princes." ”
"The Fifth Prince? Huanjin, what happened to him? Huan Yan was a little confused.
"Uh...... This is where things are complicated, in fact, at first, because everyone ate the sugar cake brought by the five princes and had food poisoning, vomiting and diarrhea, and the five princes were also found out because of this coincidence******** they were scattered for many years, and they thought that this was just for the five princes, or their father, but later, thanks to the flash of inspiration of Dr. Su Wen, I found out that my brother and I were also their target, but because of my vigilance, they failed to succeed......" Huan Yue said something that was relatively clear to herself.
The more Huan Yan listened, the more shocked he became: "Your dim sum has been poisoned? It's in the palace school? ”
"Yes, at first, because the scene was too chaotic, everyone was in a hurry to save it, and no one thought deeply, even the father and the mother didn't pay attention to it, but fortunately, Su asked the doctor to mention it, and personally checked it to find that my dim sum was under the crane top red, knowing that I was completely shocked by this, and the mother almost fainted for this matter." Huan Yue was stunned at the thought of that possibility, after all, he had just brushed shoulders with death. (To be continued.) )
