Chapter 90: The Two Kings in Distress
Everyone was trembling: The emperor is angry?
The noble father-in-law standing on the side was so frightened that he knelt down: "The slave is here!"
Sima Qingtian glared at him and ignored him.
At this time, the eunuch who passed the decree outside had already run in, and before the other party could salute, Sima Qingtian couldn't wait: "Order Tan Zhang to lead three thousand imperial forest troops and confiscate Uncle Guo's mansion!" Not a single pigeon is allowed to be spared! No! Five thousand, take five thousand!"
The eunuch knelt on the ground dumbfounded, he looked up at the angry emperor in a daze, and actually forgot the taboo.
Sima Qingtian was furious, and slapped the book case: "Don't go quickly!" ”
"Your Majesty! General Tan has returned to his hometown last month! The little eunuch looked bitter: the emperor must be confused! Who made the emperor so angry like this? The little eunuch kneeling on the ground felt a chill on the back of his neck.
Sima Qingtian then remembered that Tan Zhang had already left Beijing with his family last month and returned to his hometown in the northwest! How could he have forgotten such an important matter!
Sima Qingtian was pondering who to ask to go to the uncle's mansion to search, and the little eunuch outside reported to the king of Qi to ask for a meeting. When the emperor heard this, he was overjoyed and hurriedly summoned him.
Sima Yan, the king of Qi, really walked in a little bit, and when the emperor saw the king of Qi, he ordered him to take people to search the Guogong Mansion without thinking about it.
King Qi is naturally willing to take this errand, and he can't ask for it! Doesn't all the evidence become that he has the final say! The suspicion of assassinating the prince can also be easily escaped!
No matter how happily King Qi took the order to leave, Sima Qingtian, a suspicious guy by nature, was a little uneasy after King Qi left!
Of course, he knew that King Qi was the biggest favorite for the crown prince's position, and there were many supporters in the court.
He hesitated for a moment, and hurriedly sent Sima Yi to follow, only then did he relax a little.
An Yang looked at the emperor who stepped into the game, and was happy in his heart! With this little ability, it is no wonder that the country is not as good as day by day under his rule.
At this moment, Empress Shangguan broke in undressed without being informed. Since I learned yesterday that my only son had died, I have been abnormal. didn't eat or drink, howled and cried, and now the whole person is on the verge of collapse.
An Yang looked at Queen Shangguan who was crying like rotten peaches in her eyes, and she also felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. After all, she still doesn't know if she is her enemy, and her son's death has nothing to do with her.
Anyang hurriedly gave the queen a gift. When the queen saw Anyang, she pounced without saying a word. Sima Jing, who was lying not far away, watched this scene, and quickly got up and leaned against the wall to move this way.
She rushed over and hit An Yang with a beating on her head and face, but An Yang didn't dodge holding her head with both hands.
To be honest, she felt a little guilty in her heart. Although the evidence of the prince's rebellion is conclusive, and he died innocently, after all, he killed someone's son.
An Yang's non-resistance made the emperor a little unbearable, although the girl was beautiful, she didn't look like the person he hated at all.
Except that his eyes were a little like Concubine Yun, but he still couldn't find the shadow of Concubine Yun on her. He wasn't really sure if he was doing something wrong.
"Don't hurry up and pull the queen up! What it looks like! After watching the excitement for a while, the emperor still asked your father-in-law to drag people away.
The queen has lived in the palace for a long time, and her body is not very strong, plus she has not rested for a day and a night, so how much strength does she have. Anyang was not beaten hard by her.
Looking at Sima Jing, who had already come to her side, nervously helped her up and looked left and right, which made An Yang feel a lot more comfortable. Sima Jing can still protect her like this, which can be regarded as a comfort.
Even if she doesn't need to care for her anymore! Think of him as a friend! An Yang couldn't help but sigh.
The emperor looked at the interaction between the two: "King Jing is nervous, take it down and let the imperial doctor take a look!" Let's all go see the prince! No matter how bad he is, he is your brother! ”
Sima Qingtian's voice was hoarse for a few moments, and then turned his back.
Anyang they got the order to quickly borrow the slope to get off the donkey, they didn't want to stay here, it was terrible! Who knows when the emperor will be furious and take their lives.
Everyone was ordered to quickly withdraw from the imperial study, and An Yang found that his back was already soaked in cold sweat, and he couldn't help but shrank in the cold wind.
Sima Jing, who was holding a wooden stick next to him, saw it in his eyes, and hurriedly untied the big hat and put it on for Anyang. An Yang glanced at him, and his heart was not only not joyful, but sour.
His An Jiayin was watching them not far ahead! How would he explain it in a minute?
Anyang wants to sigh again! Why does he feel very bad when he touches him, even if he is good to her.
Everyone came to the makeshift mourning hall, although Anyang knew that the emperor favored that stupid son, but he didn't expect to care so much. actually built the mourning hall in the palace, and that battle was really a bit like the return of the Son of Heaven.
An Jiayin naturally stared at An Yang with hatred, but now she was a little afraid that An Yang was real, so she didn't dare to mess around.
An Yang was forced to incense the prince along with the others, and then stepped aside. She looked around at the surrounding situation, there were a lot of eunuchs and palace maids, and there were also a lot of relatives of the masters and emperors of various palaces, but why didn't she see the crown princess?
An Yang wondered in his heart: What about the crown princess Liu Yu who had a one-sided relationship? She was not in the mourning hall, did she escape with her father and brother?
"What were you charged with when you went to arrest Shangguan Sheng? Is there any evidence? An Yang suddenly became interested and asked Sima Jing, who was holding on the chair next to An Jiayin.
Sima Jing didn't expect An Yang to suddenly talk to him, so he still asked this question. He was stunned for a moment: "The specific king is not clear, but it is just the will of my father." This king is only ordered to take people! ”
He suddenly sighed: "At that time, this king was just curious! Obviously, the evidence points directly to the crown prince, but the father wants to raid the Guogong Mansion! Therefore, the king felt that it was inappropriate, and was afraid that the prince would take the opportunity to escape, so he went to the prince's mansion privately.
I don't want Qingfeng to be trapped in Uncle Guo's mansion, and I don't know if they escaped later! Obviously, Sima Jing was still very worried about the safety of Qingfeng and Xiao Dezi.
An Yang lowered her head and was silent for a while, she really didn't know this. At that time, the situation was extremely tense, and there was no way to think about anything else. I guess they are more auspicious and less lucky!
Among the many condolences, Anyang has never seen the figure of the crown princess, shouldn't she run out at such a moment to beg the emperor and queen to avenge the prince and avenge her father and brother? What about people? Even the imperial grandson she gave birth to never saw half a shadow.
Could it be scared away? And took away a teenage son? If so, will you use the emperor and grandson in your hands as a cover to rebel again?
An Yang was thinking about it, and a large number of royal forest soldiers hurriedly ran in outside the main hall: "Where is Princess Jing?" ”
When Sima Jing heard this shout, he was so frightened that he quickly got up from the chair, was supported by An Yang next to him, and gently pressed it back.
"An Jiayin! Now is a chance to make amends! Protect the prince and go back to Shuyi Palace to rest! An Yang lowered his voice and said to An Jia.
"What will make up for it? I didn't make a mistake! An Jiayin stiffened her neck and refused to give in.
"Who is the prince who loosened the tie? Do you want me to remind you one more thing? Who indirectly killed the crown prince? An Jiayin's body trembled, and she was immediately silenced.
She wanted to drag Sima Jing away, where was Sima Jing willing to leave at this time: those people came to Anyang, what did they want to do? Sima Jing is now more worried than anyone else!
An Yang glared at Sima Jing, "Don't be overwhelmed!" This is already very obvious: are you in charge? What should come is coming!
An Yang took a step forward: "What is the general looking for Anyang?" ”
The middle-aged general in the lead bowed and saluted: "Her Royal Highness Princess Jing!" King Qi and King Yi were attacked, please move the princess! ”
Went to raid the house and was attacked? Their martial arts are not weak, and there are so many masters around them, who can hurt the two of them so easily? Anyang was a little incredulous!
"Be specific!" An Yang saw that the other party was not sent by the emperor or queen to arrest her, and had already guessed the reason for looking for her.
"They're poisoned! Now unconscious! Doctor Zhong recommends Princess Jing! The man didn't hide it either, and went straight to the point.
Sure enough, it was poisoned! It's right with An Yang: it seems that it is still a very tricky poison! Who has the ability? Let Zhong Shuming know that she doesn't want to expose her medical skills, so he has to carry her out?
What else can be said? Let's go! You can't die without help! What's more, there is a suspected uncle among them!
"Time is of the essence! Let's talk as we go! The man was not welcome.
Sima Jing next to him breathed a long sigh of relief! But he was scared a lot, thinking that he was going to embarrass Anyang!
"Yang'er! Be careful! Sima Jing instructed An Yang, who was walking out.
An Yang paused and didn't look back: "Hmm! Then he lifted the hem of his skirt and chased after the Guards.
An Yang took three steps and made two steps to catch up with the general who was hurrying in front: "General! How are they poisoned? Why were both of them poisoned? Where are the people? ”
"Princess Jing is on first! Let's talk slowly on the way! The man was so anxious that his sideburns were dripping with sweat, which was enough to prove how nervous he was, and Anyang, the inner courtyard of the palace, was also majestic, and even asked for a step.
When Anyang saw this posture, he knew that time was pressing, so he hurriedly sat down. The general trotted alongside him before he gave her a brief account of what had happened.
It turned out that when Sima Yan and Sima Yi rushed to Uncle Guo's mansion with their people, the door was wide open, and there were many corpses lying in the corridor leading to the mansion.
Judging by the color of the corpses, they must have been dead for quite some time. If it weren't for the cold weather now, I'm afraid it would have been highly rotten a long time ago.
Although Sima Yi didn't know who it was, he could guess it.
Sima Yan sent some people to collect the corpse, and then led the people inside, not wanting to walk a few steps before there was a commotion behind him. When they looked back, they were really scared.
The corpses lying on the ground were turned over by the soldiers, and the originally intact corpses were instantly shattered, and a large number of small black insects crawled out of the corpses.
Sima Yan and Sima Jing hurriedly walked back to check, not wanting those insects to suddenly grow wings and fly around. What's even more terrifying is that it still stings like a wasp.
Those who were close had no time to dodge were all hit, including the two princes, of course, who fell to the ground unconscious after being stung.
Fortunately, there were many people who went this time, and after all, the Royal Forest Army was well-trained and reacted quite quickly. They lit torches in time to burn the poisonous insects clean. It's a pity that the face of the person who was recruited gradually turned gray, as if he was dead.
By the time the Imperial Guards brought the Imperial Doctor, some of the soldiers were already breathless, and they didn't dare to touch the corpses again, for fear that poisonous insects would fly out.
The imperial doctor examined for a long time, but they had no clue, and they were helpless, and they remembered Zhong Shu, who had walked with Sima Yi in the rivers and lakes for many years. It's a pity that Zhong Shu, who arrived at the scene, is still at a loss, and it seems that the two princes are also out of breath and less in breath.
Zhong Shu hesitated again and again, and had to ask the emperor for his life to take Anyang out of the palace for treatment.
