By the time the hospital sent someone to arrive, this King Jia had already been angry for a long time. And before the emperor and the Manchu ministers had just woken up from the blow of the two princes in a row. The New Year is about to go to the house, the name of King Lu has been decided, and the king of Fengcheng County, who is the most popular among the young sons, is the most popular among the emperors, and he died inexplicably in the middle of the palace prince.

In just one month, he lost three sons in a row, even if the emperor was tenacious in his will, he was hit hard this time, and he suddenly became much older. King Zhao has always been sick since he left the palace, and the hospital has reported his critical illness several times. For the death of King Zhao, the emperor still has a certain degree of psychological preparation.

The health of King Kejia and King Fengcheng has always been good. The sudden death of the second king made it difficult for the emperor to accept it all of a sudden. Although there are many sons, it is his own son who died anyway. In particular, the king of Fengcheng was extremely loved by him, and once personally made a wise comment.

The three kings died in succession, and no one could see what the emperor's thoughts were on the surface. But just because the emperor doesn't say it doesn't mean that no one can see it. Everyone in the palace knows that the emperor often sits in the Wende Hall all night these days, but the recital sent in has not been approved for a long time. The meals that are sent in are often returned without moving.

And this kind of thing has never happened before. Those who have a little bit of eyes know that they can see that the emperor's mood is obviously not very good. During these days, everyone in the palace was trembling. Even Concubine De, who is very arrogant on weekdays, has lost her former publicity.

Originally, after being seriously injured, he was specially approved by the emperor to exempt Huang Qiong, who was not in the palace twice a month, and had been cultivating in the palace without entering the palace. On the seventh day after the death of King Renchengjun, he was suddenly summoned into the palace by the emperor. Seeing that the emperor's face was extremely pale because of insomnia for a long time, Huang Qiong wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know how to say it.

Although Huang Qiong didn't know if the reason for the emperor's insomnia was related to the loss of his three sons. But he clearly saw that the emperor was in an extremely bad mood at this time. Because when he entered the Wende Palace, the cinnabar on the top wolf's hair in the hands of the emperor who was approving the folds was almost dry. The hands holding the pen were a little pale because they were too tight, but they didn't move a word.

Dealing with himself, the emperor Lao Tzu, is second to Huang Qiong, who is no less, and it is the first time to see the emperor so out of shape. Even if he was so out of shape that he had already entered the Wende Palace, he didn't notice it. This was almost unthinkable before.

Under the reminder of the personal eunuch, he realized that Huang Qiong had arrived as the emperor. Seeing that Huang Qiong was seriously injured and recovering for the first time, her body was still a little weak. Putting down the imperial pen in his hand, he waved his hand to stop Huang Qiong's move of wanting to salute, and said, "Your serious injury has not healed, so these false gifts should be forgiven." ”

After signaling that Huang Qiong didn't have to make a big salute, the emperor put down the imperial pen in his hand, stood up and looked at the eunuchs and palace maids who were waiting carefully outside the Wende Palace, and was silent for a long time before he said to Huang Qiong in a light tone: "Since you are here, don't hold back in this little room." Accompany me out for a walk and relax. ”

After that, the emperor ignored Huang Qiong, who was confused beside him, and raised his legs and walked out of Wende Hall directly. I didn't say where I was going, let alone wait for Huang Qiong's reply. It seems that he, the king of a country, urgently summoned his ninth son into the palace at this time, just to accompany him to walk around, or to distract himself.

Since the emperor opened Chrysostom, how could Huang Qiong have the courage not to agree? Especially Huang Qiong could see that the emperor's expression was obviously wrong, so he didn't dare to say anything. The emperor didn't say where to go, and he didn't deliberately ask. just followed the emperor without saying a word, without even asking where he was going.

The two of them walked silently without saying a word, and the eunuchs behind them didn't dare to follow too closely, but just followed them from a distance. It wasn't until he walked to the top floor of the Huangji Gate Tower, the main gate of the Imperial Palace, that the emperor was standing down. The Huangji Gate is the main gate of the palace city of the Great Qi Dynasty in front of it, and the city tower is as high as five floors, and it is also the tallest building in this palace city.

Standing on the top floor of this tower, this was built in the Sui Dynasty, although it has risen and fallen several times in the former Tang Dynasty, but it is still grandiose. After the capital of this dynasty was moved to Luoyang, several generations of emperors repaired and expanded, and the regulations were unusually large. It covers an area far more than Huang Qiong saw the Forbidden City in Beijing in her previous life, and the palace complex is several times larger, which can be said to be all in sight.

The Emperor looked at the huge, golden palace in front of him for a long time. Signal the defenders on the city tower, as well as the eunuchs and guards who followed behind, to go down to the next floor. Some of them seemed to be talking to themselves, and some of them seemed to say to Huang Qiong: "I, it's really heartbreaking." ”

"The death of the three younger brothers also hurts the sons. But people can't be resurrected after death, so I also ask my father to mourn and take care of the dragon's body. I thought that the emperor's heart-wrenching words were because he lost three sons in a short period of time, so Huang Qiong hurriedly comforted him. It was only at this time that he realized that he really had no talent for comforting, and he couldn't even say a fresh word of comfort.

Huang Qiong's comforting words fell, but the emperor did not answer immediately. Instead, he withdrew his gaze from the palace group below, and turned to look at Huang Qionglai. It wasn't until Huang Qiong's heart straightened that he said, "Ah Jiu will also tell lies and fool me now." You have never had anything to do with these three brothers, and King Zhao and King Fengcheng have never even met, so why do you have any heartache? ”

Seeing that there was some irony in the emperor's words, Huang Qiong hurriedly explained: "Father, although the emperor and the sons have no contact with several brothers. and the two younger brothers of King Zhao and King Fengcheng County, they have indeed never even met. But after all, they are the sons and sisters, and they still have tendons when they break their bones. The three younger brothers passed away at a young age, how could the sons not feel sad? ”

After listening to Huang Qiong's explanation, the emperor smiled faintly. It's just a faint smile, and there is an indescribable desolate taste on his face. Just when Huang Qiong was laughed at lightly, she was a little frightened. The emperor said lightly: "It doesn't matter if it's true or fake, as long as you have a correct heart." My heart hurts, not just because of the loss of my three sons, but because of the cause of their deaths. ”

The old man's words made Huang Qiong a little confused, and he pondered for a long time without figuring out the meaning of the emperor's words. King Jia died in an accident, which Huang Qiong, who sent people to King Jia's Mansion to mourn, knew this. It's just that the cause of the death of the king of Fengcheng County, Huang Qiong doesn't know.

It was his eleventh brother Zhao Wang, who fell ill not long after leaving the palace, and he had been sick for several years. It stands to reason that the death at this time was not too unexpected by others. After all, with the medical technology of this era, there is no way to detect some hidden diseases.

But the meaning of today's emperor's words is obviously telling himself that the causes of these deaths are not so simple. Could it be that the cause of death of these people is the same as the reason for their own assassination? If these three kings are not normal deaths, then the person who controls all this is too terrifying.

The affairs of King Jia and King Fengcheng County have only happened recently. Thinking about his own assassination, it's not too scary. But King Zhao, who has been sick for so many years, if he also dies of calculation, then the person who did it is really terrible. Being able to do one thing continuously within a few years also made everyone think that there was something wrong with King Zhao himself.

With such scheming, such persistence, and such a skill, this poisoned person really makes people feel creepy. It can make a healthy person fall ill without warning and go undetected for years. In addition to the ****, Huang Qiong couldn't think of any other means to do this.

Seeing Huang Qiong looking at him in disbelief, the emperor smiled quite unnaturally. It's just that there is countless bitterness in this smile: "You guessed right, the death of the three of them." Except for King Jia, who has not yet found out whether it was an accident or not, the deaths of the other two were all manipulated. ”

"If it weren't for King Zhao's burial, I really couldn't bear it, and the ghost sent Imperial Doctor Guo to send this son for me. I'm afraid that your brother has been nailed to the coffin, and I still think that he really died of illness. If the coffin is nailed, no one will ever know that King Zhao was poisoned by **** and spent several years. ”

"As for the King of Fengcheng, he originally just had an abscess on his back. It stands to reason that if you apply a few patches of medicine and pull it out, you will be fine, and there will be no danger to your life at all. But someone did something to the medicine he put on him, and replaced one of the medicines with medicines that were compatible with other medicines. ”

"These herbs seem to be ordinary medicines for pulling out pus and sores, but together they become highly poisonous. These medicines are blended together, and for an ordinary person, ordinary trauma is the best medicine. But for a person who is born with abscesses, it is a poison that blindly asks for life. ”

"After discovering that the cause of the death of the king of Fengcheng was not simple, I immediately ordered someone to lock up the personal eunuch beside him, as well as the imperial doctor who treated him. But I was a step too late, and his personal eunuch jumped into the well immediately after the king of Fengcheng County took his last breath. The funny thing is that others still think that he is loyal to the master, and he can't bear to part with his master, and he wants to die with his master. ”

"There is also the imperial doctor who has been treating King Zhao, and when the people I sent rushed to his mansion, they found that he had already hanged himself in his own house. His family has also disappeared without a trace. Coupled with your assassination a few days ago, I see that some people are losing their breath and are beginning to clear the obstacles in their eyes. ”

Speaking of which, Rao is a king for many years, and the unusually deep emperor who has been trained in the city government can't help but grit his teeth and creak, and the expression on his face is even more hideous and terrifying. If the main messenger behind the scenes was standing in front of him at this moment, it was estimated that he would ignore the so-called demeanor of the Son of Heaven and pounce on him and bite off a few pieces of meat to relieve the hatred in his heart.

Since the deaths of King Zhao and King Fengcheng are not an accident. In the same way, King Jia's death may not really be an accident. Three sons died in a row, one son almost died, and it took several twists and turns to pick up one life. This makes the emperor in front of him, how can he not not hate the main messenger behind the scenes?

The ancients often said that the hatred of killing a son is not shared. Ordinary people are like this, not to mention that he is the Son of Heaven and the king of a country. What's more, one son is just that, if Huang Qiong, who escaped by luck, is counted, four sons in a row have suffered misfortune. In the emperor's eyes, this was almost the same as digging up his roots.
