Chapter 281: King Zhao is poisoned, and His Majesty compromises

"We also noticed that the situation of the prince is not very good, but the two of us have only discussed it for a long time, and there has never been a good way to quickly detoxify the prince or delay the onset of the poison!

Mo Ziyu continued to take the pulse for Liu Yu, and said calmly: "It's not that there is no way, but I need the two of you to cooperate with me!"

"Concubine Jiang just commands!"

Outside.

The Queen Mother arrived and asked worriedly, "Right now, what's the situation?"

Concubine Li wiped her tears: "Concubine Jiang is here, and she is still healing inside!"

"Your Majesty!" the Queen Mother stomped on her cane and said, "Invite Your Majesty quickly, his son is now lying in it and his life and death are unknown, what is he still doing!

The eunuch did not dare to delay, and immediately went to find the figure of His Majesty.

After a long while, Emperor Xuan came and said, "I've seen the queen mother." ”

"What did you do?"

"I'm reviewing the recital!"

The Queen Mother looked at Emperor Xuan and sneered: "When did Your Majesty become so diligent? Your son is now lying in poison, but you are in the mood to watch the recital." ”

"What's the situation now?" asked Emperor Xuan.

Concubine Li cried out: "I vomited several pots of blood, all of them are black, my breathing is getting weaker and weaker, and I am hanging on to my life with the Nine Spice Jade Dew Pill, and the imperial doctor has no good way, now I just see what good way Concubine Jiang has to do!"

Emperor Xuan didn't expect King Zhao's situation to be so serious, so he frowned and asked, "What the hell is going on?"

"Tonight, King Zhao suddenly had unbearable abdominal pain, King Qi checked and knew that King Zhao was poisoned, so he called the jailer, and then he was carried into the palace, what happened specifically, and the concubine is not very clear!" Concubine Li said.

"Before coming, the mourning family had a brief understanding of the situation. The queen mother said, "This poisoned person should have been King Qi! The food in the prison today is chicken legs, but today King Qi has a bad appetite, and King Zhao has not been exposed to meat for several days, so he ate both chicken legs, and then he was poisoned! The jailer in charge of delivering the food has committed suicide in fear of crime, but this purpose seems to be very clear, it seems that he wants King Qi's life, but he just accidentally injured King Zhao, and why King Qi's life, Your Majesty must be very clear in his heart!"

"Queen Mother, I will investigate this matter clearly and give King Zhao an explanation!" Emperor Xuan said.

At this time, the door was opened, and Mo Ziyu came out and tidied up her appearance: "The concubine has seen Your Majesty." ”

"No need to be polite. How is King Zhao doing now?" asked Emperor Xuan.

"I'm taking care of my life. Mo Ziyu said, "However, the poison is strong, and it still hurts the vitality in the end, and the injury of King Zhao has not been completely healed last time, so this time I really have to cultivate well." ”

"That's good, it's good for people to live!" Concubine Li covered her chest and chanted Amitabha Buddha in her mouth, "It's good that people are fine!"

At this time, Mo Ziyu suddenly knelt down: "Your Majesty, the concubine has something to do." ”

"Say it. Emperor Xuan frowned.

"There is a Mr. Mo Daoyuan in King Qi's Mansion, who is a witness to the case of the first prince discovered by King Qi, and he was almost assassinated today, and the concubine found the poison in his meal, which is exactly the same as the poison in King Zhao today!" Mo Ziyu said, "Whether it is to kill King Qi and accidentally injure King Zhao, or to kill witnesses and kill people, it is all related to the case of the first prince, please Your Majesty re-investigate the case of that year, find out the person who committed the most heinous crime back then, so that the underground heroic spirits can also be blinded!"

"Shut up!" Emperor Xuan shouted, "What is this place where you are talking nonsense, are you impatient?"

"Even if Your Majesty kills the concubine today, the people behind the scenes will not restrain half a point!" Mo Ziyu said, "Maybe there will be more victims!"

"Concubine Jiang!" The Queen Mother said with a straight face, "I am a good student to recuperate for King Zhao, and I can't talk nonsense anymore." ”

"Yes. Mo Ziyu bit her lip, "Queen Mother, look at King Zhao." ”

"Hmm. ”

Mo Ziyu helped the Queen Mother inside, only looking at King Zhao's bloodless appearance now, the Queen Mother's heart trembled.

Concubine Li lay on King Zhao and cried for a while: "Queen Mother, you must be the master of King Zhao." ”

The Queen Mother also wiped her tears helplessly, and then her eyes became firm, and she sighed: "What should have been solved ten years ago should not be delayed again and again." No one has forgotten what happened back then, and it is just self-deception not to let people talk about it. Rather than this, it is better to turn over the events of the year again, take them to the sun and look at them, and there must be a public opinion on what is right and wrong!"

King Zhao is known for his benevolence, and he was poisoned and injured, which naturally caused public indignation above the court and among the people.

Many people who originally wanted to stay out of the matter wrote to His Majesty, asking for a retrial of the case of the year, and the people in the market no longer secretly talked about the events of the year, but became more and more fierce, and countless versions were circulating in the market.

The pressure of public opinion is increasing, and Emperor Xuan is still unmoved and insists on his own opinion. On this day, after Emperor Xuan scolded the ministers, he returned to the imperial study angrily, and when he opened the door, he saw the queen mother in the house.

The windows were closed, the light in the room was dim, and the figure of the Queen Mother was between light and dark.

"Queen Mother, why are you here?" asked Emperor Xuan.

"Your Majesty. The Queen Mother looked at the Son of Heaven in front of her lovingly and seriously, "It's time to face the events of the year." ”

"I don't know what the concubine is talking about. Emperor Xuan said lightly, stepped forward, and casually looked at the music on the table.

"Eleven years. The Queen Mother sighed softly, "Time flies so fast, it's been more than ten years in the blink of an eye." Over the years, Your Majesty has really never recalled the events of that year, and has not regretted the events of that year? Presumably, your Majesty has not had a good time in his heart all these years, right? Now, why be stubborn? There is no perfect person in this world, there is no person who does not make mistakes, if you do something wrong, you should face this mistake, right?"

"It's not that I don't want to retry the case of that year, but over the years, especially in the last few years, I really feel that I am old, and I always think of the past. Emperor Xuan said, "Sometimes watching King Qi and King Qin fight, I will be in a dilemma, at that time I was thinking, if the prince is still there, it would be good, the prince is still in my hands, I will not be embarrassed, no matter what is in his hands, he can always complete it perfectly, he is always so good, never let me down." ”

After a pause, Emperor Xuan continued: "I am angry and hate King Qi, he actually persecuted me so much, I have not been able to live with him all these years, he didn't even think about me at all!"

"What's the use of talking about this now?" the Queen Mother persuaded, "Your Majesty, let's retry the case of the former prince, there are some things that should always be faced! Some people have been at large for so many years, and they should always have to pay the price! Now that public opinion outside is becoming more and more intense, how much speculation is circulating in the mouths of the people, and I don't know how dark our royal family is in their mouths, and how many tricks are full of them! Rather than this, it is better to openly try the case of the former prince, make everything clear, and don't let the people who don't know the truth be taken advantage of!"

Emperor Xuan was still a little hesitant, and the Queen Mother scolded: "What is Your Majesty still thinking! You go to see King Zhao, who is still lying in bed now, and there is only one breath left, even if it is for that child, there should always be an explanation! If Your Majesty always avoids talking about the things of the past, when will the knot between you and King Qi be opened? You are the Son of Heaven and the father. ”

Emperor Xuan closed his eyes and sighed deeply: "Trial!"

His Majesty ordered the King of Jin to take charge, with the assistance of Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, to retry the case of the former prince's rebellion.

For a while, there was an uproar in the court, but after all, King Qi won.

On the same day, King Qi, who had been imprisoned for several days, was released from prison.

The princess sent a carriage and took King Qi back to King Qi's mansion.

After coming back, Liu Xu first took a bath, changed clothes, and then went to Qiushui Garden to inquire about the situation.

"How is King Zhao's situation now?" asked Liu Xu.

"Lord Wang, rest assured, King Zhao's life is safe, he just needs to cultivate for a while. Mo Ziyu said, "Mr. Mo is also fine, and the Qi Wangfu is also fine." ”

"Well done!" Liu Xu looked at Mo Ziyu appreciatively, "I explained a few things to you, and I did a very good job! Father was able to order a retrial, and you have contributed a lot." ”

In fact, King Zhao's poisoning was not because someone wanted to kill King Qi and accidentally injured King Zhao, after all, although King Qi and King Zhao were in prison, His Majesty still ordered them to be well protected, and it was not easy to find an opportunity to kill them.

On that day, King Qi received the news of Mo Ziyu's entry in prison, and knew that Yun Guiren had begun to make a move, wanting to kill witnesses and kill his mouth, and still received the poison that Mo Ziyu got in, which was naturally exactly the same as the one in Mo Daoyuan's meal.

The poisoning of King Zhao was also the result of Liu Xu's discussion with Liu Yu, so he mastered the amount of poison, which was enough to make King Zhao's condition very serious, so that the Queen Mother could be moved with compassion, and at the same time it would not endanger her life.

And things went smoothly as they had planned.

Another reason why His Majesty can compromise is the pressure of public opinion among the people, this part of the Yang family father and son is indispensable, if it were not for them to spread the news that the former prince was wronged, and compiled a lot of versions to circulate outside, which made His Majesty want to calm public opinion, then he must openly try the case of the former prince's rebellion.

"It's good that things can go well. Mo Ziyu said, "As long as Your Majesty is willing to hear this case publicly, judging from the evidence you have in your hands, the former prince's grievances will definitely be able to be avenged!"

"The biggest reason for this is that my father is still old after all, he has softened his heart, and he may have regretted what happened back then. Liu Xu said, his eyes gradually firm, "Everyone has to bear the consequences for their mistakes, doesn't they?"
