Cui Qian, the head of the Inner Mansion, snorted, pushed aside the crowd to inspect, and saw that the person who fell to the ground and was injured was King Rui Ning Nan, so he immediately turned his head and bowed to Emperor Wei and said, "Your Majesty, it is His Royal Highness King Rui." ”

Emperor Wei frowned, looked at the person lying on the ground, his face was pale, and blood was overflowing, and said coldly, "Why is King Rui injured?" ”

At this time, Ji Xianzhi, who had been standing behind the eunuch, knelt on the ground with a "plop", kowtowed to Emperor Wei a few times and said, "Your Majesty forgives me, the king originally prepared a congratulatory gift to congratulate the queen on her birthday, but he never expected an assassin attack, causing the king to be seriously injured, and the old slave implored His Majesty to call the imperial doctor to treat the king." ”

Hearing this explanation, Emperor Wei's face became gloomy, his sword eyebrows were furrowed, and he said without anger, "Lord Ji is not such a careless person, how could he let your king be attacked by assassins?" ”

Ji Xianzhi's face was frightened, he pretended to be guilty and regretful, and kowtowed a few more times and said in pain, "The old slave deserves to die, and he failed to protect the king Zhouquan, please condemn your majesty!" ”

Emperor Wei sneered and said disdainfully, "I don't dare to punish you for your master, let's wait for King Rui to wake up." Cui Qian, go to the Imperial Doctor! ”

Cui Qian was ordered to bow and retire immediately.

And at this moment, on the palace wall, a black-clothed swordsman suddenly flew down, rushed towards Emperor Wei with a sword, and shouted angrily, "Dog Emperor, take your life!" ”

Everyone was shocked, and rushed forward in a hurry, the time was instantaneous, Emperor Wei suddenly took a few steps back, but only to see a touch of dark color pounce in front of him to block a sword blood light for him, but he was pierced through the shoulder bone.

Ning Nan stood straight in front of Emperor Wei, his face was bloodless, and the blood stained the Xuan clothes on his body even darker. He closed his eyes and froze for a few seconds before fainting completely.

Ning Nan's move shocked everyone in the audience, especially Emperor Wei. After a moment of sudden silence in the air, Emperor Wei immediately said angrily, "Are you stupid? Capture the Assassins, put them in jail, and wait for interrogation! Cui Qian! Tell the Imperial Doctor! ”

The guards were all stunned by the sacrifice of King Rui, until the angry shouts of the Son of Heaven were heard, and then they rushed forward to fight the assassins.

Emperor Wei knelt beside Ning Nanwei and called anxiously a few times, "Zhaoyuan? Zhaoyuan! Can you hear my words? He patted Ning Nan's miserable white cheek vigorously. But Ning Nanwei, who couldn't afford to fall to the ground, didn't respond, and his lips became lighter and lighter.

The queen of the city was already full of iron, as if she was frightened, and after a moment of shock, she also knelt beside Ning Nan and called Ning Nan for Emperor Wei.

When the imperial physician hurriedly arrived, a group of people surrounded the Son of Heaven and the Empress and walked towards the Jinlin Pavilion of the Xuande Palace.

Jiang Mengluo in the cold hall was forgotten by everyone like this. In the Chongde Palace, Jiang Chengyi, who was waiting for news from the Son of Heaven, began to fidget, Jiang Mengluo would disappear He expected it, but he didn't expect that the queen and the Son of Heaven had been looking for it for a long time without results. In the palace, all the ministers talked about the Son of Heaven leaving the table to find the daughter of the Jiang family.

The Son of Heaven accompanied the queen to find the sister of a retainer, and left the ministers to ignore it? It sounds a little funny.

Jiang Chengyi originally belonged to the faction of the Son of Heaven, but at this moment he was squeezed out by his fellow party members. Everyone said that he despised Tianwei and was proud of his achievements, and he was already sitting in the position of Taifu at this moment, and he didn't know how arrogant he would be in the future.

And what everyone thinks in their hearts is not what Jiang Chengyi cares about, what he cares about is what the Son of Heaven thinks. Jiang Chengyi had already sensed what Ning Nan wanted to do, but at this moment, he could not save the situation, and he had to go another way.

It's just that the discussion of the ministers in the hall about the Jiang family has not subsided. Cui Qian led a few little yellow doors to the top of the main hall and informed him of the assassination of the Son of Heaven and the fact that King Rui sacrificed his life to savior and fell into a coma.

This couldn't help but surprise the ministers, and all the ministers thought that the Son of Heaven had found Monroe, so they sent Cui Qian to inform, but they never expected such a big event to happen in the inner palace.

"Mr. Cui!" At this time, a middle-aged man sitting on the right side of the front seat of the main hall dressed in a youthful straight court dress, with a gold seal and a purple ribbon around his waist and a crown on his head, summoned Cui Qian, who was about to retire.

This man is close to the age of not being confused, his temples are frosty, his square and peaceful face has a slight stubble, his eyebrows are thick and black and neat, his eyes are bright, and the corners of his eyes are densely wrinkled. This person is the current minister of state - Fu Bo.

Cui Qian stopped in front of Fu Bo, bowed slightly, and said, "What do you command?" ”

Fu Bo slowly got up from the desk where he was sitting, his chin was slightly raised, his eyebrows were lightly raised, and he seemed to be extremely disdainful of talking to a Huangmen squire like Cui Qian, but he had to step forward to ask a few words, so his tone was full of disgust, "Your Majesty is in danger of being assassinated, can the assassin be caught?" His Majesty and the Empress were both disturbed, and as a minister, they should go to comfort and concern, and I wonder if Chief Cui can report it and let us visit the inner palace. ”

Cui Qian naturally heard the disdain in Fu Bo's words, so his face sank slightly, but he still had a kind attitude, "Your Majesty is now appeasing the Queen of the City, King Rui is in the inner palace, and he is not sober at the moment, I really can't wait for the ministers, Lord Fu's loyalty to His Majesty, and the righteousness of the ministers are all exemplars, your concern The old slave will accept it for Your Majesty here, but to avoid disturbing the concubines in the harem again, Lord Fu and you are still in the front hall, take a break." ”

He said this tactfully, slipped a corner, blocked back the words of another group of courtiers who wanted to enter the inner palace to investigate the truth, and turned to praise Fu Bo, saying that his concern was what the courtiers should do, secretly boasting, admiring, so that Fu Bo should not be rejected and feel that he had lost face.

Jiang Chengyi had been sitting on the seat listening to the movement in front of him, thinking that maybe it would not be too long, and he should go to Emperor Wei and cry fiercely. He glanced at the empty seat of King Huai, picked up the wine cup placed in front of him, and drank it all. King Huai did not come to the Baohe Hall today, but this morning Candle Shadow saw King Huai and his three sons driving to the palace together. For some reason, only Ning Nanwei entered the palace.

Jiang Chengyi secretly calculated, and when he was drinking, he heard Cui Qian say a few more words to Fu Bo, and then left the Chongde Hall with a group of yellow men behind him without looking back.

Fu Bo's face seemed to be red and blue, very strange, I don't know if it was because he was not allowed to enter the inner palace to visit the Son of Heaven, or because Cui Qian repeatedly rejected his words.

In short, Fu Bo's appearance as if he had swallowed a stone, stuck in his throat and couldn't breathe, and his face was red and red, Jiang Chengyi couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, feeling funny and sarcastic.

He cleared his thoughts, fixed his eyes, and continued to pretend to be worried that his little sister was restless and had to lose his manners, and knelt on the seat with the panicked appearance in his heart.

At this time, Ning Zheng in the Xuande Hall didn't know when to go to the inner palace, and he was waiting in the side hall with an anxious face. In the Jinlin Pavilion, Ning Nan was unconscious, and Emperor Wei and the Queen of the City guarded him inch by inch, with a flustered expression on his face, for fear that something would really happen to King Rui in the inner palace. The palace maids ran back and forth in the pavilion with pots of blood and water. The doctor girl and the imperial doctor finally stopped the blood in Ning Nan's chest, and found out the medicine that had penetrated into his bones. The imperial doctor on duty is surnamed Sun, his name is Qi, and his name is longevity.

At this moment, he couldn't help but regret that he had changed shifts with others today, and that he had been terrified by such a fatal thing. King Rui is seriously injured and cannot be cured, not only His Majesty will want his life, but the regent Huai King Ning Zheng will definitely let him be buried for King Rui.

The more Sun Qi thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he wrote down the prescription in fear, and ordered the medical boy and doctor girl around him to quickly take the medicine and boil it.

Just as he was wiping his sweat and tensing his nerves, Emperor Wei opened his mouth and asked, "Sun Qing, how is King Rui?" ”

Sun Qi trembled, turned around tremblingly, knelt in front of the Son of Heaven and replied with fear, "Your Majesty don't worry too much, although the king's injuries are serious, they have not hurt his muscles and bones, and the bleeding has stopped at this time, and the wounds have been treated and stitched up, but..."

Emperor Wei couldn't help frowning, seeing that he didn't answer for a long time, he wondered, "Just what?" ”

Sun Qi shook his hands, buried his head, and said softly in a cold sweat, "The king doesn't know when he was poisoned, this poison is extremely fierce, although it has been partially resolved, it is still in the king's veins, and it is difficult to get rid of it." ”

"Poison?" Emperor Wei raised a tone, his eyebrows tightened, and he looked at Ji Xianzhi, who had been waiting anxiously on the side, "How did King Rui fall for the poison, does Lord Ji know?" ”

Ji Xianzhi had already anticipated the question of the Son of Heaven, knelt down with a "plop", and said in a panic, "Back to Your Majesty, it must have been the assassin who was injured by the king when he was fighting, and the assassin's sword contained the poison, which caused the king to be poisoned." ”

Hearing this, Sun Qi hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Rui has a sword wound on his right arm, which must be the reason why this poison has entered his body. ”

"Oh? I'm curious now, what exactly did the Assassin want to do? Emperor Wei's voice sank, as if he was faintly angry, and his face condensed, "Chang Qing, I hope you can have a reasonable explanation. ”

Sanyu, the guard captain who was in charge of the Praetorian Guard in Luoyang Palace, was also sincerely uneasy at this moment, listening to Emperor Wei's questioning, he stepped forward and bowed his head and replied, "Your Majesty, the assassin has been caught, but no matter how the minister tortures and asks him, he can't make him reveal who is behind the scenes...?" ”

Emperor Wei snorted coldly, looked at Chang Yu with a sarcastic gaze, and said with a smile, "Chang Qing has done an excellent job as a guard?" Today, the assassin's sword dangled in front of me, and King Rui blocked a sword for me, but the Praetorian Guards were flustered and at a loss. Now, I wonder where the Assassins came from, but it's impossible to do so. ”

Sanyu couldn't help but feel excited, and immediately knelt down and bowed to the ground, "Your Majesty forgives the sin, it was the minister's dereliction of duty today that caused the assassin to enter the palace ban, and because the minister was incompetent, he couldn't interrogate the prisoner, which made His Majesty angry, and it was the minister's fault, but please let Your Majesty calm down your anger and condemn the minister." ”
