Chapter 18, The Truth Revealed
At this time, Feng Qi had already unceremoniously sat down on the edge of the bed, and took the dagger on the table to play with.
"There is nothing wrong with the coral tree itself, it's just that it has been coated with special toxins, and spices are used as a guide, and the dragon robe that Emperor Song wore that night is an important evidence."
The man's words gave Ning Wu a huge shock, and at the same time he doubted Feng Qi's intentions, so he couldn't help but ask, "Why help me?" ”
The dagger was thrown on the table at random, Feng Qi suddenly turned around and came over, and smiled evilly: "If you die, wouldn't the goal of this prince be great?" ”
The man's handsome face was close at hand, and he could feel each other's breath closely, Ning Wu was about to make a move, but Feng Qi seemed to have sensed it, and suddenly got up and left, his expression was not as cynical as before, but with a touch of condensation: "The words have been said, whether you are dead or alive depends on yourself." ”
Yes, she almost forgot that this person was the future lord of the world, how could he be so kind to help a hostile person!
However, Ning Wu didn't dare to delay, but fortunately, Xiao Yici left two subordinates when he left, which came in handy at this time.
In Changxing Waiting House, Xiao Yici, who was already asleep, was woken up by a knock on the door.
"What's the matter?" I woke up from a dream with a somewhat hoarse voice.
Lin Feng, who was outside the door, heard the voice, and didn't dare to delay for a moment, and immediately reported: "Son Qiyu, a letter from prison says that the county lord has an important clue." ”
After reading the letter, Xiao Yici still had doubts in his mind, but he didn't have time to think about it, so he immediately set off for the palace.
Weiyang Palace, when she learned that Xiao Yici was visiting late at night, although Zhao Guifei was displeased, she had to get up because it was about the poisoning of Emperor Song.
As soon as he saw Zhao Guifei, Xiao Yici didn't have time to explain, and immediately arched his hand and said: "Niangniang, please also ask Niangniang to take Weichen to pick up the dragon robe worn on the day of the emperor's birthday banquet." ”
Seeing Xiao Yici's nervous expression, Zhao Guifei didn't say much, and the group went to Qiankun Palace in a mighty way, and the dragon robe that Emperor Song had changed was hanging in the side hall at this time.
Unexpectedly, as soon as everyone walked to the door, they saw a eunuch and palace maid hurriedly running out: "Go water, go water!" ”
"Somewhere!" Xiao Yici grabbed a little eunuch who ran out, only to see him say in a panic: "The side hall, it's the side hall......"
As soon as he looked up, he saw that the direction of the side hall was smoking, Xiao Yici didn't have time to think about it, and immediately rushed in, Zhao Guifei knew that this matter was different, so she immediately ordered someone to put out the fire, and rushed to the main hall by herself, Emperor Song was still lying there.
When I arrived at the side hall, the fire was already burning, and many little eunuchs came over with buckets, but it was a drop in the bucket, unexpectedly, Xiao Yici poured a bucket of water on his body, covered his mouth and nose with a cloth and walked in, even though Lin Feng and others shouted without stopping.
According to the memory of the past, he soon came to the place where the dragon robe was stored, and was about to walk over, when the burning bookshelf on the side suddenly turned upside down, he subconsciously stretched out his hand and waved it away, and took a step forward to crumple the dragon robe into a ball and protect it in his arms and ran out.
Lin Feng, who was waiting outside, was very anxious, but the fire was too big, even if he went in, it would be useless, but he didn't expect to see a figure rushing out as soon as he looked up, it was Xiao Yici.
"Childe, you're hurt!" Seeing the burns on the man's wrists, Lin Feng subconsciously spoke.
Xiao Yici didn't even look at it, and ordered in a cold voice: "Immediately move the coral tree to the emperor's bedroom, and in addition, invite Imperial Doctor Zhang over immediately." ”
It was only the side hall that caught fire, and according to the little eunuch, a cat ran in through the window and knocked over the candlestick, and by the time it was found, it had already burned.
The movement was so loud that the emperor had already woken up, because the residual poison had not yet been cleared, and he was still a little powerless, and he was sitting on the bed at this time.
"Xiao Yici, I heard from the concubine, you found evidence, but is it true?" After Imperial Physician Zhang finished taking the pulse, Emperor Song spoke weakly.
At this time, Xiao Yici was still holding the dragon robe in his hand, knelt on one knee, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the minister did find evidence, the emperor was poisoned and fainted that day, and the minister had physical contact with the emperor when he came, so it was inevitable that the smell of ambergris on the emperor's body was stained, but Fang Caichen asked Imperial Doctor Zhang to distinguish that this incense was not ambergris." ”
Emperor Song heard it in a fog: "What does the poisoning have to do with incense?" ”
At this time, Imperial Physician Zhang stood up: "Emperor Qiqi, Weichen has already checked just now, and the incense on the dragon robe you wore at the dinner is not ambergris, but Fengyun incense, which is very similar to the fragrance of ambergris. ”
Suddenly hearing this, Zhao Guifei blurted out: "Feng Yunxiang? This palace has heard that this phoenix cloud incense is a highly poisonous thing! ”
"Niangniang is right, although Fengyunxiang is a highly poisonous incense, it also needs to have an introduction to poison people." Imperial Physician Zhang answered.
Knowing that someone had secretly replaced ambergris with a highly poisonous Fengyun incense, Emperor Song was furious and immediately sent someone to investigate, and turned to look at the man:
"Xiao Yici, do you mean that Feng Yunxiang's introduction is on that coral tree?"
Xiao Yici arched his hand and said: "Exactly, maybe the Fengyun incense content on Weichen's body is too small, so I tried it and didn't get poisoned." ”
The ambergris used by Emperor Song came from the palace, and even if Nan'an had great ability, he couldn't reach out to Emperor Song.
In fact, Emperor Song also knew in his heart that this matter was aimed at Nan'an, and he wanted to take advantage of this matter to kill the emperor by King Nan'an, but now that he has evidence, think about it carefully, the land of Nan'an is still under his control, and there is no need to get rid of it in a hurry......
Sensing Emperor Song's thoughts, Zhao Guifei spoke at the right time: "Your Majesty, since the matter has been found out and has nothing to do with the county lord of Ningwu, it is better to send someone to release her, a little girl is in prison, I am afraid she will also be frightened." ”
With these words, Emperor Song naturally followed the trend: "What Concubine Ai said is, Xiao Yici, you go and pick people out." ”
Out of the palace gate, Xiao Yici couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and when he got on the horse, he noticed the pain in his wrist, and then he remembered the burn on his forearm.
"Childe, my subordinates will bandage you." Lin Feng immediately spoke.
Who knows, Xiao Yici has already pulled the reins: "Go to the prison first!" ”
After coming out of the prison and returning to Qinyuan, when parting, Ning Wu saw the dagger in his hand and hurriedly shouted: "Second son Xiao!" ”
The man on the horse looked back, as if he was a little confused.
"Your dagger." Ning Wu raised his hand slightly, but unexpectedly, the other party said: "This is what the woman uses, so keep it for the county lord." Then he rode away.
Looking at the white sky, a trace of gratitude rose in Ning Wu's heart, if it weren't for Xiao Yici this time, I'm afraid she wouldn't have been able to come out so easily.
As for Feng Qi, in the future, it is better to have less to do with him, she always feels that this man's city is deeper than she wants.
