Even though I know that you have given the throne for a long time, I am still willing to work for you, but I didn't expect you to save your life at the critical moment, and deliberately did not remind us that the bird's nest porridge is poisonous? ”

"Lord Wang, although we are all people under the Taishi, but the Taishi deliberately poisoned His Majesty, causing His Majesty to fall unconscious, we really don't know! I also hope that the prince will see clearly, and punish the Taishi alone, and don't affect us! ”

At first, everyone accused the Taishi of selfishness in unison, and then they knelt down at Xiao Chumo's feet, constantly explaining that this matter was done by the Taishi alone, and it had nothing to do with them, and they wanted to completely draw a line with the Taishi, and they no longer wanted to become a pawn to be used casually.

"You, how dare you betray this Taishi?" The current Taishi has become the target of public criticism, and the officials who flattered him before have no intention of continuing to serve him at all, and even in front of Xiao Chumo, he told all the things he did on weekdays, bullied the people, and shortened the treasury.

After the atmosphere above the court finally eased down, Xiao Chumo looked coldly at the defeated Taishi, and sneered: "Originally, I could have beheaded you for the crime of murdering Your Majesty alone, plus the crimes that the other adults pointed out to you just now, hehe, it seems that Taishi, you are dead today!" ”

"This?" Seeing that the situation had been decided, even if he refuted and defended it, I am afraid that no one would believe his explanation, seeing this, he quickly knelt down in front of Xiao Chumo, frowned and wailed:

"Lord, the old minister knows that he is wrong, it was the old minister who was confused for a while to make this kind of mistake, the old minister knows that according to the laws of Ning Guo, I am afraid that it will be difficult to protect himself this time, but I beg the prince, for the sake of the old minister who is also the founder of Ning State, just spare my life? I voluntarily returned to the countryside to farm, and I will never participate in the affairs of the court again in my lifetime, so I ask the prince to be gracious! ”

"You said you were willing to resign from your position as a Taishi and return to your hometown to retire?" In fact, for the traitorous villain's plea before his death, Xiao Chumo, as a person who has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, has long been surprised, and naturally he can see at a glance whether the other party is truly remorseful, but unfortunately, the Taishi did not really know his mistake, so he did not relent, but sighed and smiled:

"Since the Taishi knew that the mistake you made was a capital crime, why did you know that you made a mistake in the first place? Now that I want to go back to the countryside to retire, why did I go earlier? It is impossible to escape the death penalty of poisoning Your Majesty, come on, drag me down, and deal with it in accordance with the criminal law of Ningguo! ”

originally planned to rely on the old man and beg Xiao Chumo to let him live, but how could he expect this trick to work for him at all, the Taishi was finally dragged out of the hall by the guards under Xiao Chumo's order.

The officials who had sold their lives for him before, after seeing his current miserable situation, suddenly looked frightened one by one, they looked at each other, for fear that the mistakes made by the Taishi would affect themselves, so they continued to kneel in front of Xiao Chumo, and explained in a panic:

"Lord Wang, if we had known that Taishi was such a despicable and shameless traitor, we would naturally not be with him! It's just that when the Taishi had the intention to win us over, due to the level of the official rank, we had to look at it, and now we are only wrong, and I hope that the prince will spare us once, please beg you. ”

The entire court hall was full of pleading voices for Xiao Chumo, and his eardrums couldn't help but hurt a little because of this sound, but for the sake of their sincere remorse, he didn't intend to continue to pursue it, and now Douding's physical condition has not improved, as the regent, if he is on the side of the Qing monarch in large quantities, I am afraid it will also cause panic among the people.

So he nodded thoughtfully, and for a long time, in the expectant eyes of the ministers, he said slowly: "You should be very glad that you didn't follow the Taishi to cause a catastrophe, otherwise even if all of you kneel down and break these legs today, I will definitely not spare it, it's just that I have come to help Your Majesty deal with the government in the past few days, if I hear that there are people among you who are suspicious of Your Majesty's dragon body, then I will definitely not spare it then!" ”

"The ministers don't dare, thank you for the grace of the prince for sparing his life." Finally, after Xiao Chumo's side reached forgiveness, the ministers relaxed a little, at least they didn't need to be beheaded like the Taishi, which was a great honor for them.

For several days in a row, Yu Panxi stayed in Douding's dormitory, not even having time to rest, seeing that he was getting haggard day by day, Xiao Chumo's heart ached, but he couldn't help the Dharma protector, so he could only accompany the mother and son at once, and the family of three supported each other and never gave up.

Ah Ye flew to his side and said, "The things in the main hall have now been spread in the palace, you know that Douding is not in a coma because of poisoning at all, but why did you behead that Taishi?" ”

"Didn't you say that the palace was rumored to be boiling? That's what I'm doing. Xiao Chumo smiled faintly, Yu Panxi had not slept for a few days, and he was also unable to sleep and eat, and his slightly pale face was not much better than hers.

That's right, Xiao Chumo did know that the reason for Douding's coma was that the dragon soul in his body was at work, but he also learned through the mouth of the maid who was caught in the criminal department to torture to extract a confession, and it turned out that the Taishi had quietly bought off the people in the imperial dining room, and poisoned Douding's meals every day, but the amount of poison was not large, only a little bit at a time, and it seemed that he was preparing to slowly accumulate toxins in his body, so that he would not die violently immediately, causing unnecessary suspicion.

When he got the testimony of the maid and the cook, he specially arranged this drama in the main hall, the purpose was to let everyone stop figuring out the reason for Douding's coma, but let the Taishi carry this pot and shift everyone's attention to him, after all, the rumor that the Taishi of a dignified country poisoned the emperor in order to get the throne that did not belong to him was enough to make the people of Ning temporarily divert their attention for a while.

It's a pity that Taishi probably won't know until he dies, in fact, Douding has the protection of the dragon soul in his body, and ordinary toxins can't hurt him at all, even if he drinks bird's nest porridge every night, but the toxins have already been excreted from the body, Taishi has been cunning all his life, he seems to be constantly using others, but in the end, he is still being used by Xiao Chumo!

Knowing that Xiao Chumo did this in order to buy time for the advancement of the dragon soul in Douding's body, Ah Ye understood.

At this time, Yu Panxi, who was originally concentrating on reciting the mantra to protect the Fa, suddenly shouted in panic: "Move, move, Dou Ding, he moves!" ”

Xiao Chumo and Ah Ye, who heard the news, immediately rushed to Douding's side, and really saw him who was originally unconscious, his fingers moved slightly, and his eyelids were constantly trembling, as if they were preparing for the next awakening.
