"It can't be."

"I saw with my own eyes that His Majesty took one yesterday."

The princes and chamberlains in the hall said one after another.

"Did you put another one in?" Someone questioned.

"I only refined two alchemy, and many people have seen this." Xie Roujia said, "And as soon as the pill is refined, I will send the First Emperor Ding and the pill to His Majesty, you also saw just now that His Majesty personally added the key and wore it with him, except for yesterday when I came to serve His Majesty to take the pill, I have not come close to here." ”

His Majesty has been so careful that she keeps the key close to her, and she doesn't even need to use the chamberlain, which shows how vigilant she is, and it is indeed impossible for her to take advantage of the unpreparedness of others.

Everyone's expressions changed.

"Then what did you let Your Majesty eat yesterday?" The Queen Mother asked.

Xie Roujia looked at the Queen Mother, and then at the Emperor on the dragon bed.

"Pure Heart Pill." She spat out three words.

Pure heart pills?

The people in the temple were stunned.

"You! Why did you let Your Majesty take the Pure Heart Pill? The fifth prince asked, "Didn't you say that you can take the pill after fasting for three days?" ”

Why did you let Your Majesty take the Pure Heart Pill? Why did you replace the pill you should have taken with a Qingxin pill?

This is because many things in that life have been fulfilled, my sister fell into the water, she was disgusted, Yushan collapsed, and the Xie family was involved in alchemy, so it is very likely that the emperor's poisoning will also be fulfilled.

That day, Shao Mingqing said that the pill was like a heart-clearing pill, so she made a decision during the three days of fasting.

Unexpectedly, the emperor was poisoned, and he was also poisoned after eating Qingxin Pill.

It is very likely that the so-called poisoning of the emperor after eating pills in the past and present lives is just an illusion. It's a conspiracy.

The Xie family was used as a scapegoat for this conspiracy.

Xie Roujia met the scrutinizing gaze in the hall.

"Because of fasting and purifying the mind, you also need to take another heart-clearing pill after that, which is conducive to taking pills." She said, "And I also told Your Majesty at that time that I used the Qingxin Pill today, and then I can take the others, and I have to wait a day." ”

At that time, she did say this, but she did not specify that it was a Qingxin pill, and no one thought that she asked the emperor to take a Qingxin pill, and thought that she was saying that she was taking a pill first. Take the other pill every other day.

Presumably the emperor thought so too.

She really needs that. Or is it deliberate? And is it really a pure heart pill?

The expressions of everyone in the hall became complicated, and their eyes flickered at Xie Roujia.

"You can ask the imperial doctor, when I came to His Majesty yesterday, I asked them for a heart purifying pill and sent it." Xie Roujia continued, "They sent it personally. ”

"Imperial Doctor. Is there such a thing? The voice of the five princes sounded loudly in the hall.

If it's someone who cares. You will find that the original chaotic questioning in the hall is gradually being replaced by the questioning of the five princes.

Several imperial doctors standing in the corner stood up and responded.

"We thought it was the princess herself." They said. "I sent a box."

"I only used one, and the rest is still in the cubicle here." Xie Roujia said.

When her words fell, the fifth prince had already raised his hand.

"Go get it." He said sharply.

One of the chamberlains immediately hurried away.

The Queen Mother and the Queen looked at each other. No one spoke.

No one in the palace questioned the decision of the five princes.

And Zhou Chengzhen, who was the crown prince and originally controlled everything, just stood silently aside.

The chamberlain quickly came out with a box and opened it in front of everyone.

"Your Highness, there is indeed one missing." He said, and said that he still sighed.

"How?" The fifth prince asked.

"Your Highness, this Heart Clearing Pill is very similar to the pill." The chamberlain said, holding up the box in his hand.

The people around looked over, and everyone had already seen the pill, and at this time, they all showed surprised and sudden expressions when they saw the Qingxin Pill.

I was surprised that the Qingxin Pill was so similar to the pill.

Suddenly, it was no wonder why no one noticed that it was not an elixir yesterday.

This goes back to the question of Shicai, does she really need to take Qingxin Pill, or is she doing it on purpose?

If it's intentional, then why?

The hall was suddenly quiet, and the atmosphere was very strange.

"Since the Qingxin Pill is similar to the pill, then who knows if you have exchanged the Qingxin Pill for the pill." Zhou Chengzhen's voice sounded slowly.

That's right, these words made everyone look at Xie Roujia again.

"My elixir is not poisonous." Xie Roujia said.

Her words fell, and Xie Wenjun stood up suddenly.

"I'm here to take the pill to prove that it's not poisonous." He said, "I'm here to prove that our Xie family won't refine the poison pill. ”

Xie Roujia only felt that her nose was sour, and her eyes were a little red.

In that life, it's the same, right?

It's a pity ....

She took a deep breath and looked at Xie Wenjun and didn't stop her.

Fifth uncle, even if you try in this life, you will definitely be safe.

The fifth prince glanced at Xie Roujia, waved his hand, and the chamberlain standing beside him holding the First Emperor Ding stepped forward, Xie Wenjun casually picked up one of them and put it in his mouth without hesitation and swallowed it.

Mrs. Xie also got up from the ground.

"I'll try too." She shouted.

"It's all your Xie family, who knows if you have taken the antidote beforehand." Zhou Chengzhen said with a smile.

Mrs. Xie froze in place.

The expressions of the five princes changed for a moment.

"I'll try." He said.

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall sounded a sound of stopping.

"Your Highness, no." The ministers said.

"No, no." The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother stepped forward even more crying.

"There is nothing to do, as children, we should taste the decoction for our parents, and if our father takes the elixir, we should taste it first." The fifth prince said, his voice choked, "It was my fault that I didn't do this to let my father suffer this misfortune, and now I can't let my father die in vain." ”

As he spoke, he gritted his teeth and reached out to take out another pill and stuffed it into his mouth, and ate it amid the screams of everyone.

The Queen Mother and the Queen hugged their heads and cried. Several old ministers in the hall also knelt on the ground and cried.

It is conceivable that if the five princes do not die this time, what a loyal and pure prince they will be in the hearts of the courtiers.

The other princes looked frightened and a little complicated, regretting that they didn't do it earlier, but looking at the emperor lying on the dragon bed, they really didn't dare to take it.

This is a gamble, if you lose, you will die, what is the use of leaving a name of loyalty and filial piety, it is better to be an idle prince.

"Okay, Your Majesty took the pill for a day and a night, so let's wait." Zhou Chengzhen said, his gaze swept over Xie Wenjun and the five princes. With a bit of lightheartedness. "If the two of you are safe and sound tomorrow, you can rule out that Your Majesty is because of the pills."

Now it can only be like this, the courtiers in the hall whispered.

"In order to avoid accidents, the fifth prince and this lord of the Xie family must be properly settled." A minister said after consulting the Queen Mother.

"Of course. lest they be manipulated. It is placed in another room in His Majesty's dormitory. Zhou Chengzhen said. calmly raised his hand to invite, "Several ministers are also invited to be present." ”

"We're going to keep it guarding, too." The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother also said.

The emperor is no longer there, if there is another prince unexpected. It's really unbearable.

Such an arrangement is impeccable.

The queen mother and the queen were restless because the five princes had taken the pill, and they only wanted to guard the five princes, and they had no intention of asking about the arrangement.

A smile flashed in Zhou Chengzhen's eyes, and he was about to tell where to place it, when a voice came from outside the door.

"There is one more person who also needs to be properly settled."

King of Dongping County!

Everyone was shocked, but Zhou Chengzhen's face sank, and he watched the king of Dongping County walk in.

"Nineteen, where have you been?" The Queen Mother shouted.

The king of Dongping County was dressed in a suit and saluted with a cold air.

"The gates of the city are closed on all sides, and the ministers are kept out." He said.

"How can it be possible to stop you, the mourning family didn't give this order." The Queen Mother said.

The king of Dongping looked at Zhou Chengzhen.

"They were ordered by the crown prince." He said.

Prince!

All eyes looked at Zhou Chengzhen again.

"Zhou Chengzhen, you dare! What do you want? The Queen Mother shouted.

Zhou Chengzhen's expression was indifferent.

"Of course, I want to guard against some people's bad intentions, Gu is now in charge of the country on the order of the emperor, and now the emperor is in a big way, isn't it okay to close the streets and close the city gates?" He said.

It's really possible

The courtiers fell silent.

"Also, since the capital is closed, how did you get in, Uncle Nineteen? Breaking in? Is it because I ordered you not to listen, or because of the name of the crown prince? Zhou Chengzhen asked with a smile.

The expressions of the people present changed, and this kind of behavior said that loyalty is loyalty, but it can also be said that disobedience is uncontrollable.

"It's naturally okay to close the streets and close the city gates, as for why I resisted knowing that there was an order, it was because I was in a hurry to ask the prince." The king of Dongping County said, "Why did the soldiers and horses of Shandong, Shanxi, and Tianjin also enter Beijing on the orders of the prince?" ”

What the? There are soldiers and horses from other places entering Beijing?

The expressions of the courtiers in the hall changed greatly.

"Zhou Chengzhen!" The Queen Mother could not hide her anger, "Do you want to force the palace?" ”

Zhou Chengzhen sneered, without the slightest panic.

"Uncle Nineteen, why are you on my orders? They said yes, so why can't it be at your orders? He said, "You left Beijing without permission and didn't return all night, and now as soon as you come back, you are shouting for foreign soldiers and horses to enter Beijing, and I still suspect that you are forcing the palace." ”

The queen was going to say something, but the king of Dongping County did not refute it.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right." He said, "Now we are all suspicious, so from now on we will all be placed together until the truth of Your Majesty's great deeds is ascertained." ”

Zhou Chengzhen looked at him with a hint of clarity in his eyes.

This old slippery head!

He didn't want to tear up with himself now, firstly, to tell the queen mother and courtiers about the movements outside, and secondly, to tell himself that those soldiers and horses had been noticed by him.

And unsurprisingly, he was also blocked.

Zhou Chengzhen's gaze swept over the large cloak wrapped by the king of Dongping County, the cloak was clean, but it was faintly revealed that there were mud stains on the robe inside, and maybe there were blood stains.

"The king of Dongping is right." Several ministers were really shocked by the news that foreign soldiers and horses had entered Beijing, and stood up and said, "Now you are all suspicious. and all shall be set up today. ”

"Also, the country can't be without a king for a day, the prince can't build a country, and the queen mother is invited to listen to the government." Dongping County King said.

Please listen to the queen mother?

The courtiers looked at each other.

"That's right." They said in unison, and while facing the Queen Mother, "Your Majesty is in a big deal, and when things happen suddenly, please also ask the Queen Mother to listen to the government and calm the people." ”

The Queen Mother nodded tearfully.

"Let's write the edict." A minister said.

"Also, as today, Zi Daxing. The courtiers have learned. The people also speculated, and asked the Queen Mother to send a holy message to inform the ministers and ring the bell to report the funeral. Another minister said with tears in his eyes.

The Queen Mother nodded again.

"That's right." She said.

Although the Queen Mother can't make up her mind, because of her reliable identity. The originally chaotic hall became smoother. Drafting edicts. Transcribing the edict, how to place these people busy but not chaotic to do.

"And, Queen Mother. Please summon the Imperial Physicians to examine Your Majesty carefully. The king of Dongping said again.

If you look closely, you will damage the dragon body, especially those tricks, which are undoubtedly a desecration of the dragon body.

How could the emperor be allowed to suffer such humiliation.

The Queen Mother's face hesitated.

"Niangniang, although Your Majesty is bent on seeking the Tao, but you have always been self-denying, and if you don't find out the cause of Your Majesty's death, Your Majesty will definitely be criticized by the people for seeking longevity." The king of Dongping County knelt down and said, "Niangniang, let Your Majesty suffer such a stigma, the history books record a sum, and the minister is unwilling and unbearable." ”

The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother hid their faces and cried.

But no, it is conceivable that if the news that the emperor ate the so-called Immortal Pill refined by the First Emperor Ding and died spread, how people would laugh at the emperor in private, not only would everyone not grieve, but would become a joke, and even said that they deserved it.

The royal face was lost.

"Exactly! That's it! The Queen Mother cried.

Xie Roujia breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the emperor looks unharmed on the outside, he will definitely be able to find out if he is really poisoned and died, but these imperial doctors did not dare to really investigate it in detail before, but now with the queen mother's decree and so many courtiers witnessing, they dare to let go of their hands and feet.

She couldn't help but look at the king of Dongping County, but she didn't have a chance to speak, according to the arrangement of the queen mother and the courtiers, they were all placed in the emperor's bedroom at once, and everyone was locked up separately, and there were guards inside and outside.

On the other hand, the emperor also began to be thoroughly investigated by the imperial doctors, and at the same time, the ban in Beijing, as well as the private transfer of foreign soldiers and horses to Beijing as said by the king of Dongping County, all kinds of important things made the courtiers busy without touching the ground, and the courtiers who got the edict outside also calmed down, and the court recirculated smoothly, and a day and a night passed unconsciously.

Xie Roujia hadn't slept all night, and when she saw the dawn, she couldn't help but go up and knock on the door.

"The princess of the county, you haven't ordered the door to open yet." The guard outside said.

"I'm not going out, you can help me take a look, is Fifth Master Xie okay?" Xie Roujia said.

As soon as her words fell, I heard a commotion outside, and the voices of the Queen Mother and the Queen calling the five princes in a row.

The voice was crying.

Xie Roujia chuckled in her heart, and the next moment the door was opened, and the morning light poured in, and she couldn't open her eyes.

"Jiajia." Xie Wenjun's voice came from the morning light.

Xie Roujia stared at Xie Wenjun who was standing outside the door, and then saw that the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother were crying with the five princes in their arms, although the five princes were a little haggard, they were standing steadily to comfort the two.

"Fifth uncle." Xie Roujia threw herself into Xie Wenjun's arms, tears raining down.

Even though the difficult things happened again, the result was different from that life.

This side has just verified that the pill is not poisonous, and the minister in charge of the emperor's death investigation over there rushed out.

"Mother, mother." Their faces turned pale and their voices trembled, "Your Majesty is indeed poisoned." ”

The pill was not poisonous, the Qingxin pill was not poisonous, and he was still poisoned and died.

This is clearly a deliberate murder carried out by the emperor taking pills.

In this way, the cause of the emperor's death can be easily pushed to the pill without being noticed.

The Queen Mother's hands and feet were cold and full of grief and indignation.

"Check!" She shouted, "You must let Your Majesty's death be clear!" ”

As soon as the voice fell, another guard came hurrying over there.

"Niangniang, no, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is gone."

Prince? Zhou Chengzhen? Ran away?
