A middle-aged old eunuch, with two little eunuchs behind him, the old eunuch is Li Zhongren, who has served the prince for many years. This time, the prince did not do a good job, and it is estimated that the prince should be angry again, his face was a little nervous, and he unconsciously accelerated the pace of going to Shangyang Palace.

As soon as the maid at the door reported that Xuanyuan Ze was enjoying the flowers in the back garden of the palace at the moment, he ordered the maid to take the three of them to the back garden.

The lake is turquoise and the cool breeze rises.

Xuanyuan Ze, who was dressed in a yellow cloud robe, sat in the pavilion by the lake, with a game of chess in front of him that had reached the halfway game, holding a black piece in his hand, and thinking about what to do next.

Hearing the sound of continuous footsteps, he stopped around him, and Xuanyuan Ze put the sunspot in his hand on the chessboard: "How are things going!" ”

Li Zhongren lowered his head and thought about it: "That assassin refuses to confess whether he lives or dies!" ”

"Whoa!" With a bang, Xuanyuan Ze shuffled the chess pieces on the chessboard, and some of the chess pieces rolled to the ground.

"Pick it up!" Xuanyuan Ze had a cold face and looked at this messy chess.

Li Zhongren was shocked, hurriedly leaned down and picked up the chess pieces one by one, when he picked up Xuanyuan Ze's side, he was trampled on his hand with one foot, although the strength of the step was not light, but Li Zhongren did not dare to say anything, and let the prince step on it.

"What's the use of asking you? None of this can be done! Xuanyuan Ze stepped on Li Zhongren's hand with all his might, and secretly exerted his strength on his foot.

The two little eunuchs behind him lowered their heads, and cold sweat had already started on their foreheads, which made them tremble.

"It's useless, it's useless!" A wave of anger rushed to the top of Xuanyuan Ze's heart, and his chest was stuffy. A mouthful of blood spat out of his throat.

"The prince is angry, what's wrong with you, prince?" Where has Li Zhongren encountered such a situation. In the past, the prince often lost his temper with them, but now this situation seems to be a little wrong.

Xuanyuan Ze's eyes darkened. The whole person lay on the chessboard.

Li Zhongren felt that the pain in his hands had decreased, so he quickly got up to check on the prince, it didn't matter, and he was so frightened that he shouted on the spot: "Quickly invite the imperial doctor!" ”

The two eunuchs were so frightened that they hurriedly ran into the Tai Hospital, and the Tai Doctor of the Tai Hospital heard that something had happened to the prince, so he quickly took the medicine box and followed the eunuchs to Shangyang Palace.

At the prince's bedroom in Shangyang Palace, several imperial doctors stood on the spot, and Xuanyuan Tuo and Yue Ning sat next to the bed.

"Imperial Doctor Xue, what is the disease of this prince?" Xuanyuan Tuo's expression was solemn. Standing beside the bed, he kept observing the prince's condition.

Imperial Physician Xue broke the prince's eyelids, and saw that the prince's eyes were scattered, his lips were purple, and the blood he spit out was black and red, and he preliminarily concluded that it should be some kind of poison. But he couldn't say what kind of poison it was, and he used one hand to check the pulse of the prince. His face changed greatly, although this poison was not a bloody throat, but the poison was extremely strong, once attacked. It will be poisoned within three hours.

Imperial Physician Xue knew that the matter was urgent, and hurriedly knelt down and admonished: "Your Majesty, the prince is strange in this poison. The minister heard that the third prince's medical skills are superb, can you invite him quickly? ”

Xuanyuan Tuo will know. In a hurry, the chief manager of Ouchi around him asked Xuanyuan Che to come to Shangyang Palace.

An hour later, Xuanyuan Che rushed to Shangyang Palace.

He sat down hurriedly. Stretch out your hand on the prince's vein lightly, this poison is indeed very rare, as long as the poisoner is angry, it will cause a poisonous attack, and it will soon be poisoned, this poison is called ghost sorrow in the underworld, this poison is complicated, and the use of Cordyceps is extremely expensive, it is worth thousands of gold on the black market, it is a poison that has just emerged in the past two years, although it is not as poisonous, but it is more terrible than poison, although the poisoned person does not die, but the poison will gradually devour the nerves of the poisoner, and gradually make it lose its mind, and eventually become a living dead. This poison, because the toxicity is not easy to detect, and it is extremely rare, so there is no antidote at all.

"Che'er, what's wrong with your eldest brother?" Yue Ning held Xuanyuan Tuo with one hand, although he was anxious, he could only watch from the side, although this prince was not his own flesh and blood, but Empress Jiajing and her sister were commensurate, she treated him as her own, and now that the prince was poisoned, how could she not be worried?

"Although this poison is terrifying, the queen mother can rest assured, the Soul Rejuvenation Pill I refined can still cure this poison!" Xuanyuan Che's eyebrows were straight, presumably the matter of the prince's poisoning was not so simple, and the prince's diet and daily life were taken care of in the palace, and there would be a special person to test the poison before each meal, which was really strange.

Xuanyuan Tuo ordered people to hurry to the Taiji Hall to get the Soul Pill, and saw the prince drink the Soul Pill, so he was relieved.

"Li Zhongren! How did you serve the Prince? Xuanyuan stretched out the prince's bedroom, his face was slightly angry, and he reprimanded angrily.

Li Zhongren, who was following closely behind, trembled with fright, and fell to his knees with a thud: "The emperor atons for his sins, and the slaves don't know where this poison comes from!" ”

Xuanyuan Tuo looked at each other coldly, flicked his sleeves, and ordered the chief manager of Ouchi to strictly investigate the matter.

After diagnosing the prince's condition, Xuanyuan Che did not leave. If he guessed correctly, the time of the poisoning should be the night of the queen mother's birthday, if so, is the poisoning of the prince related to the assassin? In order to find a clue, Xuanyuan Che accompanied the chief manager of Ouchi to investigate the prince's residence.

There was no abnormality found in the prince's residence, except for the chief manager of Ouchi and Xuanyuan Yan, there were also several Ouchi masters who often handled cases behind him.

Several people carefully checked the kitchen and the courtyards of Shangyang Palace, but found nothing suspicious. Then a group of people came to the study, and heard Li Zhongren say that the prince had come to the study before he was poisoned.

A few people pushed away the hidden study, and several experts in investigating the case immediately launched a search, and after a while, they were all excluded from the kung fu bookshelf and the short step.

Finally, they fixed their eyes on the teapot and wine glasses on the wooden table.

There were glass cups, rhino horn cups and luminous cups on the wooden table, and several pots of wine had obviously been drunk by the prince, and even the bottom of the cups was extremely dry in the hot weather.

They took out some tools from their waists, and then poured some water-based solutions into three cups and three wine jugs, and after a while, white smoke began to rise from the wine glasses and wine jugs.

Xuanyuan Che secretly said in his heart that it was not good, this poison was actually put in the luminous cup.

This luminous cup, Xuanyuan Che remembers, it was a gift from the second brother Xuanyuan to the prince that day, and now, this situation actually happened, which he never expected.

"King Gong, it has been ascertained that there is indeed poison in this luminous cup!" Chen Shuanggang, the chief manager of the inner house, is not acute, but the matter involving the second prince is no small matter, and he is also present on the queen's birthday, so he also knows about the gift of the luminous cup.

"Manager Chen, can the emperor be accommodating for half a day?" After all, this matter is related to the friendship between their brothers, and it is impossible for the second brother to poison the prince, someone must be responsible for it, so Xuanyuan Che wants to buy some time as much as possible to clear the suspicion of the second brother.

Chen Shuang knew that although he understood it in his heart, it was indeed difficult for the emperor to explain, so he hesitated for a moment, and seemed to have made up his mind: "Since King Gong is guaranteed, I will give me a grace period of half a day, and I will return to the emperor before sunset at the latest, and ask King Gong to bear more!" ”

"That's it, thank you Mr. Chen!" Xuanyuan Che knew that Manager Chen was loyal, served by the emperor's side for many years, and won the emperor's trust, it seems that before sunset, some things must be checked.

As soon as Chen Shuang left with the front foot of the Da Nei investigators, Xuanyuan Che left Shangyang Palace in a hurry.

As soon as they left, Li Zhongren walked out of the hidden corner of the courtyard of the study, and he had heard the conversation clearly when he hid outside~ (To be continued......)
