In the Taiji Palace, where everyone was silent, Emperor Jin threw the arrow in front of Concubine Shu and asked sharply: "Concubine Shu, you are so bold, you dare to quench poison on the arrow!" What about the antidote? ”

Concubine Qing Shu trembled and picked up the bloody arrow in front of her, and immediately replied: "Your Majesty, the concubine is wronged!" ”

"Wronged?! The matter of riding and shooting is handled by you on behalf of the concubine, do you dare to say that this arrow was not prepared by you?! ”

"The arrows were indeed prepared by the concubines, but even if the concubines had a hundred guts, they didn't dare to quench the poison on the arrows, so please let the emperor know it." After saying that, she put down the arrow and kowtowed reverently to Emperor Jin.

However, in the eyes of Emperor Jin, it was just an excuse to try to exonerate himself, Emperor Jin gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Do you know that the princess is in danger now, but she is only able to continue her life by hanging it with ginseng and lingzhi, if there is no antidote within three days, the consequences will be unimaginable, hand over the antidote quickly, I can spare you from death!" ”

"Your Majesty, if it's not the poison of the concubines, how can the concubines have an antidote?"

"You ......"

At this moment, Xi Ze, who was kneeling on the side, saw that Emperor Jin was about to have a seizure, so he hurriedly stopped: "Father, the son is willing to recommend one person, and he will definitely be able to save the princess!" ”

When Emperor Jin saw that it was Xi Ze who was holding him back, he added fuel to the fire, and his face was distorted by anger, blooming with a strange color: "Will you atone for your sins?" I'm afraid it's late! ”

"The retainers are not guilty!"

"Bastard!"

Xi Ze immediately kowtowed and explained: "At that time, someone fired a dart at the princess, and Erchen released the arrow in order to save the princess, but the person was very cunning, tied the dart with a rope, and when he was about to hit the princess, he took the dart back, and Erchen shot the princess by mistake, but because the distance was too far, and there were fences and horses blocking the view, so everyone didn't see the situation clearly, please father Mingjian!" ”

Subsequently, King Gong and his faction pleaded for Xi Ze one after another.

Emperor Jin's affection eased slightly, and he asked in a deep voice, "What about that person?" ”

Xi Ze turned to look at the kneeling guards in the row behind him, pointed to the last guard on the right and said, "That's him!" ”

"Search!" Emperor Jin immediately ordered.

In a few moments, the deacon and eunuch searched for darts from the guard.

Emperor Jin took a closer look at the darts presented by the chamberlain, and saw that the bottom of the dart was firmly tied with a very thin gold thread, and then he realized that what Xi Ze said was true, he turned his head to look at the guard, and asked in a deep voice: "Say, who instructed you to release the arrow?" ”

The guard bowed his head and said nothing.

Seeing this, Emperor Jin narrowed his eyes: "Do you want me to be punished!" ”

"Minions...... Can't say! ”

"Presumptuous, if you don't say it again, I will let your relatives suffer the sin of joint sitting!"

As soon as the guard heard the word "kin", he immediately replied: "The emperor spares his life, it is King Chang!" ”

King Chang, who was standing on the side, was shocked, and immediately knelt down to distinguish: "Father, this person is talking nonsense, this judgment is not the work of his son!" ”

Emperor Jin looked at King Chang, and then asked the guard, "How did King Chang instruct you?" What else did he tell you to do? ”

The guard hesitated, looking left and right, but said nothing.

Emperor Jin then said: "To be honest at this moment, I can still lightly dismiss you and your relatives!" ”

The guard hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "The slave's wife and children are in the hands of others, if the slave says it, they will die!" ”

Emperor Jin's patience was almost exhausted: "If you don't recruit from the truth, they will also die!" ”

When the guard heard this, his face was like ashes, and he begged for mercy loudly: "The emperor spares his life, my wife and children don't know anything, beg the emperor to spare them, I will do anything!" It was King Gong who instructed his minions to do this! When King Gong heard the rumor in the capital that the seven princesses of Yan Kingdom were going to shoot him with arrows during the competition, he ordered the slave to stay by the fence, and handed the slave a dart tied with a golden thread, and ordered the slave to wait for the opportunity to launch the dart, and then retracted the dart when the dart was about to hit the princess. King Gong also said that after the competition, he would blame King Chang for this matter, because King Chang held the power of Gyeonggi and must be afraid of the military power in his hands, so as long as the matter is pushed to King Chang, the emperor will believe that he and his servants can get away with it! The slave's wife and children are now in the hands of the head of Prince Gong's Mansion, and the slave has to do it! Please ask the emperor to spare my wife and children......"

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar.

Xi Ze stared at the guard in disbelief, turned around, and actually turned to himself again, and he said it in a correct way, and it was completely like the two of them before, from rumors to darts to the frame-up at this moment, it was actually a long-planned game.

However, he didn't have time to distinguish for himself, so he saw King Zhao knelt down beside Emperor Jin first, and shouted loudly: "Father, it's all the fault of the sons, the sons heard the rumors that the princess wanted to shoot the third brother, and he was afraid that the third brother would have something wrong, so he told the third brother the rumor, hoping that the third brother would shirk the matter of the riding and shooting competition, but I didn't expect it to be self-defeating!" are all stupid sons, although the father and the emperor punish them! The son only begged his father to spare the third brother, and he was also for self-protection! ”

Immediately afterwards, King Qi also knelt on the ground, crying and kowtowing: "Father, the third brother is loyal and courageous, and will never do anything for no reason, it is the son who should not let the third brother hear those rumors that are not clean, the son wanted to persuade the third brother to beware, and he didn't want to make a big mistake, the fault of this matter is the son of the son, not the third brother, ask the father to punish the son and the third brother, spare the third brother!" ”

Immediately afterwards, King Yu also knelt down to intercede for Xi Ze, and his rhetoric was roughly the same as that of King Zhao and King Qi.

Xi Ze's eyes widened, looking at the dear brother who knelt down and kowtowed in front of him, it seemed that every sentence was begging for mercy for him, but in fact, he fell into the well, and he would never stop for the crime of setting up a game to shoot the princess if he did not "sit down", and the momentum of the pressure made people feel cold, almost suffocating, and in the end, his open and closed lips could only shake off a few broken notes: "Wronged...... It wasn't the son's doing...... The son was wronged ......"

However, at this moment, Xi Ze is to say that no matter how many "wrongs", Emperor Jin, who has believed in seven or eight points, has long lost the ability to distinguish between right and wrong in the past, he will no longer think that Xi Ze is wronged, he trembled and walked in front of Xi Ze, and couldn't help but say that it was a slap, which hit Xi Ze's eyes with starlight, obviously using all his strength, he stretched out his right index finger, pointed at Xi Ze, and said hatefully: "Rebel!" Princess She ...... is still a child who has not grown up, but you actually listened to rumors and guessed her with such a dirty mind, just ask, did she hurt you at all? You brute! Come, and send this animal into the prison...... Pending trial ......"

Emperor Jin almost turned his back on his back, but fortunately, there were many people behind him to support him, so he didn't fall to the ground, and in the end, he was powerless to support, so he could only gasp while talking.

Things have developed to this point, and it is futile to distinguish again, but thinking of the princess who is in danger, Xi Ze can no longer care about anything else, he exerted all the strength of his body, shook off the guards who came to detain, knelt down in front of Emperor Jin, grabbed the hem of Emperor Jin's clothes, and said loudly: "Father, please let the disciple of the son of the minister Dugu pray for the princess at night, it will be too late, please, pray for the night He is a miracle doctor, no matter what poison will not be difficult for him, he will definitely be able to solve the poison of the princess, father, father, ......"

"Drag it down......"

Because the safety of the princess involves the national system, Song Bingguo, the prime minister of Zuo, can no longer be silent: "Your Majesty, even if King Gong is at fault, the princess has to save it, as long as there is hope, you can't give up, Dugu Pray for the night of the famous minister has also heard of it, it is indeed not false, please the emperor quickly summon Dugu to pray for the night to treat the princess......"

Subsequently, the ministers knelt down and begged the emperor to summon a miracle doctor, and the emperor finally agreed.
