Chapter 222: Stratagem

Seeing that King Qi had been speaking for King Heng, the prince couldn't help but say: "King Qi and King Heng are really brothers, everything is so clear and clear, you are still excusing King Heng." ”

The brother of the same mother is really different from his half-brother.

King Qi said: "I just think that it is not rigorous at all to condemn King Heng in this way. ”

King Heng said: "Since this package of medicinal powder was found from my house, I don't know where it was found?" ”

The emperor looked at the searchers, and a leader was found from the kitchen.

Kitchen! It's a place to think about.

If it was said that King Heng was suspected of ninety percent before, then now it has become sixty. You must know that this poison powder was found in the kitchen, which means that it is likely that someone wants to poison King Heng with poison powder.

The emperor frowned, he didn't expect that this poisonous powder was actually found from the kitchen.

Princess Heng felt that now was a good time to clear King Heng's suspicions, and she said: "The concubine remembers that this cat ate the pastries sent from the kitchen today, and it must have been poisoned at that time. And that pastry was originally intended by me for King Heng to eat. The meaning of this is that the cat died in the place of King Heng.

Fang Yu understood that what Princess Heng said was wrong, because this poison would not be poisoned immediately, it had an incubation period of seven days. However, the only people present knew about this poison were him and Li Siyu, and they naturally wouldn't say it. If he said it, wouldn't Li Siyu arouse everyone's suspicions? Because the prince had gone to her seven days before he was poisoned.

The emperor's appearance was not very good-looking, so he ordered all the people who worked in the kitchen to be arrested, and then interrogated them strictly. In the end, the suspect was locked on a person named Zhu Wangcai, Zhu Wangcai was a handyman in the kitchen of Hengwang Mansion, who was honest and honest on weekdays, and was a person who was easy to ignore. The emperor stared at Zhu Wangcai, "You hid this poison in the kitchen?" ”

Zhu Wang knew that he couldn't hide this matter. So he said, "That's right, I hid it in the kitchen." ”

The emperor continued: "Then you poisoned my cat. ”

Zhu Wangcai said: "I didn't plan to poison Princess Heng's cat, it's all about it that spoiled me." With that, he looked at the dead cat on the ground with some anger.

Princess Heng suddenly realized, "You originally wanted to poison King Heng!" You're vicious! Where did my Heng Wangfu treat you badly, and you want to treat the prince like this? ”

She felt scared when she thought about it, but fortunately the pastry was eaten by a cat, if it was eaten by King Heng, it would be King Heng who died now. She originally thought that the Hengwang Mansion that she took care of was very clean, but she didn't expect that there were still people lurking against King Heng.

Zhu Wangcai said: "Hengwangfu doesn't seem to treat me badly on the surface, but in fact, the people of Hengwangfu don't look down on me at all, I know that you all dislike me for being a cripple, you don't say it, but you are laughing at me in your heart!" I obviously have a good craft, and the food I cook is much better than the kitchen chef, but you let me work as a handyman in the kitchen, and you can afford me? That's what's good for me? ”

It turned out that his reason for harming King Heng turned out to be like this. Because he felt that he had been underused, he held a grudge against King Heng and wanted to wait for an opportunity to poison King Heng.

Princess Heng said helplessly: "I know that you are a cook from the palace, but I thought that you were old, and I was afraid that you would work too hard, so I arranged a very easy job for you." But I didn't expect that not only were you not grateful, but you took my kindness as malice. Think about it, what heavy work did you do during your time as a handyman in the kitchen? ”

Zhu Wangcai was slightly stunned, and he said, "Anyway, the Hengwang Mansion just looks down on me!" They look down on me like the Prince's Mansion. ”

It turned out that Zhu Wangcai was the head chef in the palace of the concubine, and once the prince praised the food in the palace of the concubine for being delicious, and the concubine sent him to the prince's mansion and asked him to cook for the prince. Originally, everything was fine, but later there was an accident, Zhu Wang became lame, and he was sent out of the prince's mansion, and then he went to the Hengwang Mansion by himself.

Princess Heng remembered that he had served in the palace for many years, and now that he was lame at his age, she took him in and arranged for him to do some light chores in the kitchen.

The prince suddenly had a bad feeling, this Zhu Wang originally walked out of his mansion. Although he said that he was kicked out of the Prince's Mansion because he was lame, it was the Prince's Mansion who walked out after all. Who knows if there's a secret in it? Some people may think that this is a ploy to let the crown prince let Zhu Wang get close to the Hengwang Mansion.

The prince suddenly found himself in a trap.

The emperor said: "So you also gave the crown prince's poison?" ”

Zhu Wangcai said: "That's right! Who made the people of the Prince's Mansion look down on me when they saw that I was lame, and wanted to drive me away? Whether it's the crown prince or the king of Heng, as long as they look down on me, they should die. ”

I have to say that Zhu Wangcai's ideas are a bit extreme.

King Qi said: "It seems that this matter has nothing to do with King Heng, I hope the emperor can return King Heng's innocence." "King Qi never forgot to speak for King Heng.

The emperor thought about it and nodded. asked people to take Zhu Wangcai down and lock him up.

It's getting more and more complicated. Originally, he thought that this matter was done by King Heng, but now there is a Zhu Wangcai. You must know that this Zhu Wangcai used to be an errand in the prince's mansion, who knows if he is the prince's person?

If he was the prince's man, it would be terrible. In order to frame King Heng, the prince did not hesitate to poison himself and put himself at risk. He was so cruel to himself, but what about others?

Naturally, he is more ruthless to others.

The emperor remembered the Li Shilang family who was destroyed by him, and he originally planned to punish Li Shilang severely, but the prince said that he had to kill chickens and monkeys to block everyone's mouths, so he ordered the Li family to be beheaded. At that time, he felt that the prince was very courageous. Later, the Cao family was destroyed by the prince because of the intention to rebel, but it was found out that the Cao family was framed, and the person who framed the Cao family behind the scenes may be the prince. However, at that time, he felt that the crown prince was very imperial in order to consolidate his position and exclude dissidents. Now when he found out that the prince didn't even care about his own life in order to fight his opponent, the emperor suddenly felt that the prince was terrible. A person who can kill himself, if he really becomes an emperor, how brutal must he be?

And will he poison him for the sake of the throne? The emperor suddenly felt a chill in his back.

There is also the assassination of King Heng hunting in the Smoky Mountains last year, maybe it was also done by the prince.

The emperor remembered that Li Siyu had lived in the prince's mansion for a period of time, and the prince must have known that her blood could detoxify, so he would risk his life. He was gambling, betting that he would attack King Heng after he was poisoned, and he counted his father into it.

It was chilling that he used his affection for him to calculate him.

The emperor had always favored the crown prince, but now he suddenly felt that he had been too indulgent and defended him before. What a terrible thing it would be if the crown prince had really become a ruthless man! (To be continued.) )
