Chapter 288: Poison

The queen lowered her eyes, and she thought about the emperor's thoughts in her heart, didn't she love the house and Wu to this extent, and it was not Xiao Cuo who was embarrassed by her, but only because of Xiao Cuo's daughter-in-law, should the emperor also intervene? If she, the queen, can't even make decisions about such a thing, what's the point of sitting in the back?

Because of the grievances in her heart, the queen is now pessimistic about everything, as long as she sees Xiao Cuo and the emperor laughing and talking, she shouldn't have the adjective "eyebrows and eyes" in her heart, but she can't do anything, she can only comfort that there are so many concubines in the palace, and this time the emperor didn't bring those concubines, but she has already given her enough dignity.

But this relief is also sad no matter how you think about it.

The queen lowered her eyes and did not show it, and the emperor did not want to say more in front of people, so he ordered people to serve wine again.

The second prince's back was straight, his hands were put into fists on his knees, and he looked at it for a long time, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the emperor was not angry.

The waiters came in with wine and fish, and they drank freely, and the ladies who had just cooperated with the queen and wanted to provoke Fu Ying to come out to dance each received cold eyes from their own men, and their hearts were as depressed and apprehensive as the queen. Who doesn't have some depressed grievances?

Fu Ying lowered her eyes, and she didn't drink, she only picked her favorite dishes and ate two bites at will, although Xiao Cuo raised her glass and was busy socializing, she didn't forget to give her vegetables, and she was very busy.

At this moment, the emperor who suddenly ascended the throne suddenly dropped the wine cup.

The sound of broken porcelain falling to the ground was not obvious in such a noisy environment, but everyone was paying attention to the emperor's every move, and the moment the wine cup fell to the ground. Except for the sound of silk and bamboo, everyone's conversation stopped abruptly and raised their eyes to look at the main seat.

"Your Majesty?" The queen was beside the emperor, and asked suspiciously.

Who knew that the words fell, but he saw the emperor coughing twice on his chest, and suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood.

"Ahh The queen exclaimed.

"Brother Huang!"

"Father!"

Xiao Cuo and the second prince got up in a panic and rushed to the top, but the emperor rolled his eyes and fainted, and before his body fell to the ground, he was caught by Xiao Cuo: "Brother Huang, brother Huang, don't scare me!" The Imperial Doctor! Pass on the Imperial Doctor! ”

The second prince also supported half of the emperor's body at this time. Lay the person flat on the ground with Xiao Cuo. Immediately, he hurriedly called the imperial doctor.

The courtiers and their families panicked, and the scene was instantly chaotic.

Fu Ying stood behind the desk with his eyebrows, seeing that the blood on the corner of the emperor's lips could not stop staying, and the person was already unconscious. I couldn't help biting my lip and worrying.

At this time, in addition to the inner servants who ran outside, they went to pass on the imperial doctor. The rest of the courtiers and family members didn't know what to do. Fu Ying could feel the panic emanating like ripples around everyone, intertwined and falling on herself, and her hairs were almost prickly and stood up.

She looked at Xiao Cuo worriedly. saw Xiao Cuo stand up, and said coldly: "No one is allowed to leave half a step, and everyone on the table is not allowed to touch it." ”

An old minister stood up: "What does Prince Xiang mean by this, but you suspect us?"

As soon as these words came out, it seemed to stir up a thousand waves for a while, and everyone was angry and discerning that they were suspected.

Xiao Cuo spoke slowly, his voice was not high, but it was enough for everyone to listen to it sincerely: "Before the murderer is found, everyone here may have suspicions, and there may be danger, today it is the humerus of the imperial brother who came with the imperial brother, don't forget!" ”

Xiao Cuo's words are both suspicious and a disguised reassurance.

The ministers were panicked, but they didn't know what to do.

The queen caught Xiao Cuo's words: "Everyone may have suspicions, including the prince? ”

Xiao Cuo looked back, swept the queen's face coldly, and said lightly: "It's okay for the imperial sister-in-law to say so, this king is willing to accept any investigation to prove her innocence, but the imperial sister-in-law has provoked several times today and three times, and even deliberately provoked the relationship between Da Zhou and Dongsheng, and now she is provoking the relationship between the king and the imperial brother, I don't know what your intentions are, if you say that you are suspicious, the imperial sister-in-law is the closest to the imperial brother, and the first one to check is you!" ”

He has endured the queen for a long time. This ignorant and stupid woman, who does not know that she has the same enemy to stabilize the courtiers, is here to disturb people's hearts!

She has the heart to show that the carriage and horse are against him, who is he afraid of!

Xiao Cuo was not fierce and vicious, and his voice had not even been raised, but his every word was loud, and his expression was indifferent, which made people feel cold, that was not what he did on purpose, but the side that he deliberately hid on weekdays, how could the god of war on the battlefield who terrified the enemy army be a person who could only smile hippie, when he didn't want to hide his edge, a look was enough to make the shouting person chill.

The queen's heart trembled when she was bluffed, and her body shook and almost fell. Thanks to the second prince who served her in time, she was able to stabilize her figure.

The second prince actually felt that the queen was too petty and too clumsy, and he was still thinking about how he would help the queen mother get out if the emperor pursued it. But what his mother thinks is his freedom, and it's not okay to be bullied.

What's more, this person is still Xiao Cuo who has been pressing him down?

The second prince said: "What's the use of the imperial uncle pursuing these at this time?" It's better to heal Fu Ying first. The people who are there today turned around and slowly checked one by one. ”

Xiao Cuo knew the thoughts and small actions of the second prince, he was very frank, and he didn't care what he thought, so he said: "This king and the princess can be investigated at will, and now this king only hopes that the royal brother is safe." If there is really a case, which one does the person behind the black hand expect this king to let go?! ”

Can you let it go, it's your turn to speak?

This sentence was silently slandered by the second prince in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it directly, he didn't know what he was afraid of.

Imperial Physician Liu, who was in charge of the emperor's pulse, quickly arrived, and even when he diagnosed that the emperor was poisoned, "I am afraid that vomiting blood is a symptom of stomach bleeding." Please also move the emperor to the bedroom. ”

The queen immediately ordered someone to go, and then she herself was to follow.

Xiao Cuo said: "The people present are not allowed to move, come and find out the food for this king." ”

"Yes." The accompanying imperial guards immediately rushed in, guarding all around to prevent anyone from leaving, and some people tested poison in the emperor's diet with silver needles.

The queen jumped angrily: "What do you mean, do you still suspect the head of the palace?" ”

Xiao Cuo looked back at the queen and did not answer immediately.

Just waiting for the results of the drug test.

And the surprise is that all the food and drink in the temple are non-toxic!

Since there is no poison, there is no stolen evidence, Xiao Cuo naturally cannot forcibly detain everyone, and can only release people temporarily.

And the emperor didn't know when he was poisoned, and now the news that he was dying suddenly spread.

Xiao Cuo took Fu Ying's hand at this time, and while walking towards the courtyard where they were resting, he instructed: "Now it's chaotic outside, don't move around, I still have to stay by the emperor's side, and let Archer and Luzhu protect you, don't be afraid." (To be continued......)
