Chapter 181: Chaoyan Muchen (3)
The imperial doctor arrived in a hurry and carried Mu Chen into the side hall, and the diagnosis was the same as what Chun Yuyan said: poisoning.
Not only is it poisoned, but it is also violent, Rao is the eldest prince's divine power is pure, and it will inevitably hurt his lungs, and the pain is unbearable. Emperor Hao was furious and ordered an immediate and thorough investigation.
Because of the extremely grand celebration, the famous families of the entire Eastern Continent gathered in the Suzaku Palace, and there were many female dependents, and the scene was chaotic for a while.
Suzaku Palace was originally the most stringent place in the Eastern Continent, and the deployment of the forbidden army and the enchantment set up on the periphery were all first-class meticulous. The diet used in the palace has also been checked and tested at various levels, and it is difficult to be artificially poisoned.
But the royal palace is also the place where the power struggle has been the most fierce since ancient times, and the assassination calculation can never be eliminated, and the emperor is a person who has ascended to the extreme position step by step in the treacherous waves of the previous dynasty, and in such a situation, although he is angry that someone dares to poison the royal family at the Chitose Festival, he is also careful and calm and methodical in dealing with it.
Soon, the forbidden army sealed off the entire Suzaku Palace, and no one was allowed to leave without permission.
The imperial doctors temporarily stabilized Mu Chen's injuries and transferred him to the Chengji Hall, the closest to the main hall. The guests who participated in the celebration were all "invited" into the side hall by the forbidden army, and the main hall was vacated so that the full-time medical officer could count the scene and trace the source of the poison.
Not long after, the same poison was also found in the dishes used by Emperor Ji Qingling and her husband.
At this time, Qing Ling, together with the other royal families, was escorted back to their respective dormitories in the palace by the forbidden army.
Queen Fangshan's expression was condensed, although she was in a hurry, she did not lose the momentum of the emperor and queen of a country above the world. Mu Han and Ah Jing followed closely, one with a tense face and the other with a slight apprehension, who were tightly guarded by the heavily armored guards on the left and right.
Following Qingling and Luo Yao was Qingling's younger brother Zhecheng.
Zhecheng is now at a young age, and he doesn't seem to understand the affairs of the Korean political war, so he has a white face, clutches the skirt of his mother beside him, and asks in a series of ways: "Mother, why is the eldest brother poisoned?" Could it be that the people of Lieyang from Hokuriku have entered the Suzaku Palace? If the people of Lieyang come, will they kill us all? ”
Zhecheng's biological mother, Concubine Jin, pinched her son's little hand and scolded in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense! There was a hint of tremor in his voice.
Qing Ling's mind was messy, and he repeatedly relived what Chun Yuyan said to himself just now in his mind.
Leave as soon as possible?
Why?
Don't...... All this is a game laid out by Mu Chen in advance?
What did they want to do if they were hiding it from her?
Luo Yao walked beside Qing Ling, looked down and saw her slightly pale face, a trace of confusion and worry in her expression, and couldn't help but gently hold her hand and said, "If you're worried about Mu Chen, go back and see him." ”
He intuitively realized that following Queen Fang Shan and Mu Han at this time would only make the situation more dangerous......
Qing Ling came back to his senses, looked up at Luo Yao, and hesitated to tell him Chun Yuyan's words.
But at this moment, the heavily armored guards guarding Queen Fang Shan's entourage in front suddenly let out an exclamation of alarm, and then drew their blades one after another, listing the defensive formation.
Zhecheng, who was behind Qing Ling, was so frightened that he covered his mouth violently, and then screamed in horror.
As soon as he shouted, the concubines and palace maids who were unknown behind him also screamed in a hurry. The fifth prince Youning even broke free from his mother's arms and hugged the waist of the second prince Yu Jun tightly, "Second brother Wang, I'm afraid!" ”
In the dim lights of the Night Palace, everyone was in a mess.
What's even more unfortunate is that it just went to the low recess of the terrain, and the tall temples and ancient trees on both sides blocked the moonlight, not to mention, if the enemy attacked and tightened the siege from outside, the people in the middle were like fish in a basin, and there was no way to escape!
Luo Yao heard the sound of scolding and blade collision suddenly sounding in front of him, and he didn't dare to hesitate any longer, grabbed Qing Ling and retreated, "Hurry up!" ”
Qing Ling turned his head and saw that the palace people behind him were screaming and scattering, and the forbidden army was rushing upstream, and he didn't have time to react in the chaos, allowing Luo Yao to pull him back.
After running out for a while, he remembered in a trance that in the mess just now, he caught a glimpse of Zhecheng and Concubine Jin staggering back to the jade hall base surrounded by several palace maids, trembling and not knowing what to do.
Qing Ling grabbed Luo Yao, "Wait! My sixth brother seems to be alone, I have to go back and take him out, otherwise one of his children will be easily injured by mistake! ”
Luo Yao stopped when he heard this, turned his head and looked back at where he had come.
That side obviously had already used the spiritual power of the Protoss masters, and the defensive formation formed suddenly gave birth to the beam of enchantment, which was bright and dark under the fierce attack of the opponent, emitting a huge and continuous sharp collision sound.
Luo Yao pulled Qing Ling to a corner of the palace wall and advised, "You use the Qilin Jade Plate to set up a stealth ban, stay here and wait for me." I'm going to pick up your brother. ”
He held Qing Ling's shoulder, and his tone was rare serious, "Remember, you must wait for me to come back!" ”
With that, he turned around and walked quickly in the direction he had come.
Qing Lingmu watched Luo Yao's back disappear into the night, and then took out the unicorn jade card while muttering in his heart:
I have been wandering outside for so many years under the banner of Chongwu's disciple, what sword mountain and sea of fire have I never seen? The last time I encountered a monster like the one in Windy City, I was not afraid, could it be that I am still afraid of these assassins today?
In fact, Xiao Qi shouldn't have pulled him to escape just now, and now that I think about it, it's really a shame!
Hate only hate, today is too ceremoniously dressed, it is really inconvenient to move......
But who and for what purpose did they enter the Suzaku Palace?
If the scene in the main hall just now was a scene deliberately performed by Mu Chen, then what connection did he have with these assassins?
Qing Ling's mind was full of thoughts, and he touched the jade card in his hand, and he didn't recite the trick for a long time.
At this moment, a black shadow suddenly jumped down from mid-air like a cloud covering the moon, startling her to subconsciously retreat and bounce away, and then turned her wrist to gather the vapor condensing sword, and was about to stab it out with a wave of her hand.
The person who came lowered his voice and hurriedly called: "Emperor! He raised his hand and pulled down the black veil, revealing his face.
Qing Ling hurriedly withdrew his moves, "Wei Yuan? How are you? ”
Wei Yuan covered his face again, bowed down and said, "Xun didn't wait for the emperor outside the main hall, so he asked his subordinates to find him to answer." Without further ado, I beg the Emperor to evacuate the palace with me quickly!" ”
Qing Ling was full of doubts, where was he willing to give up easily, and asked a series of questions: "What the hell is going on?" What is Mu Chen planning again? Where is he now? Is it really poisoned? ”
Wei Yuan didn't answer directly, but said: "My subordinates only know that His Highness instructed Emperor Xun to send Emperor Ji to leave as soon as possible, and don't delay for a moment!" ”
Qing Ling understood Mu Chen's way of the Imperial Majesty, and understood that he was forced to ask for any valuable information, so he sent the ice sword in his hand forward, forced Wei Yuan to take two steps back, and then urged his divine sense, set a stealth ban with the Qilin jade card, and flew over the palace wall.
~~
Chengji Palace, Inner Bed.
Emperor Hao glanced at Mu Chen, who was unconscious on the couch, and turned his head to ask Gao Du: "Is there a solution to this poison?" ”
He stepped forward again to probe the pulse, knelt on the ground and played: "The lower official is stupid, and he can't understand the solution for a while. The poison seems to be colorless and odorless, and once it penetrates the food, it will be infected with the smell of the food itself, and it is difficult to distinguish the ingredients. Now he has to follow the ordinary method to save the life of the eldest prince for the time being, and when the source of the poison is found, the lower officials will have the opportunity to prepare a solution. ”
Emperor Hao's brows furrowed.
What kind of person would want to poison Mu Chen and Qingling at the Chongming Festival?
Will......
A few names popped into his head, and then he pressed them back.
This kind of blatant and arrogant method is more like the determination to burn the jade, and it is not like the work of a thoughtful person......
At this time, the commander of the forbidden army, Wang Miao, hurriedly entered under the guidance of the inner servant, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty! Dozens of Assassins infiltrated the palace and confronted the forbidden army near the Cijing Palace! ”
"Assassins?"
Emperor Hao took a step forward with an awe-inspiring expression, "What kind of assassin?" ”
The commander replied, "Back to Your Majesty, the last general will look at their skills, they should all be masters of the Protoss." It's just that the assassins are covered and can't see their faces clearly......"
Protoss masters?
In other words, it shouldn't be from Lieyang......
Emperor Hao pondered for a moment in his heart, and commanded in a deep voice: "With the strength of the forbidden army in the palace, it should be more than enough to deal with dozens of assassins. You send orders down and let them be captured alive as much as possible, so that they can find out who is behind them in the future. ”
After thinking about it, he unsealed a seal from his palm and handed it to the other party, "You go to the main hall in person, and let Mo Nan'an Mountain use this seal as a basis to mobilize the garrison of Lingxiao City to seal the capital, and no one is allowed to enter and leave without permission." ”
The garrison of the capital is of great significance, and when dispatching, it is not only necessary to personally appear in the hands of Mo Nan'an Mountain, who is in charge of the soldiers and horses of Chaoyan, but also to have this unique seal in the hands of Emperor Hao.
Seeing this, Wang Miao understood the urgency of the matter, respectfully accepted the seal with both hands, and then saluted and quickly withdrew.
After Emperor Hao handed over the seal, he had some doubts, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while whether to put Mo Nan Shiyin and Mo Nanningze, who came to the banquet together, under house arrest and keep them as hostages......
Suddenly, there was a very light sound of wind behind him, mixed with the indifferent and quiet aroma of orchid angelica.
Before Emperor Hao could look back, his wrist was suddenly grabbed. The burning power quickly penetrated into the body, wrapping around the internal organs, squeezing out the intense pain!
He tried to speak, but he couldn't move, and his whole body seemed to be bound by a strange but powerful force.
The Tuo Du on the side exclaimed: "Prince, you ......" stammered, "You...... What are you doing here? ”
Because he was threatened by Mu Chen, he promised to help him hide the truth that the toxicity had been solved. But he thought that the eldest prince just wanted to stage a bitter trick and take the opportunity to suppress his political enemies.
But who knows......
The fire lotus flashed brightly, and the two palace maids who were already frightened in the inner bed and Ku Du fell to the ground together, and there was no chance to make a sound.
Emperor Hao's body was paralyzed and he slowly fell to his knees.
The burning power in his body that was entwining and squeezing his internal organs devoured his divine consciousness little by little.
He was still awake, and he could still see the people who were slowly walking in front of him.
The eyebrows are like ink paintings, the bridge of the nose is straight, and there is a noble and Qinghua feeling in his face, which is the same as the breath of Na Lan Zhi, similar to his mother.
But those dark eyes, bottomless, deep and frightening, like a ...... Myself.
