Chapter 1385: Poisonous Heart

The corners of Lao Shangshu's eyes jumped, what Xiao Shaozong said, Lao Shangshu naturally knew it clearly, and such a strange thing happened to the Qi family back then, which really made many people secretly wonder in their hearts.

However, the Houmen is as deep as the sea, and there are some inhumane things in the families of high-ranking officials and nobles, and such things, often other people will also be very consciously silent and not discuss, not to mention that the Jinyi Qi family at that time was in full swing, Qi Jing held an army of 100,000 and sat on the front line.

Maybe there were still people who were suspicious at that time, but there were not a few strange things that happened every day in the capital, and the affairs of the Qi family were quickly replaced by other strange things, and they were annihilated in many strange stories, but for half a year, many people even forgot that such a thing happened to the Qi family.

Today, Xiao Shaozong suddenly mentioned it, and Lao Shangshu immediately remembered the past incident that happened in the Jinyi Qi family.

"Back then, the Qi family's strange incident was kept secretive by the government and the opposition, and not too many people mentioned it." Xiao Shaozong said softly: "It's just that everyone knows and that's all, but what strange things are going on here, few people know." He smiled faintly and said, "But this is also a matter of course, after the incident happened back then, the Qi family tried their best to cover it up, and did not let the inside story be known to outsiders." ”

Lao Shangshu said: "The prince said that the affairs of the Qi family are not known to outsiders, but the prince seems to know everything about what happened back then. ”

"Although the Qi family tried their best to hide it, there was a huge disaster hidden behind that incident." Xiao Shaozong said: "There are really not many people involved in that incident back then, but in addition to the people of the Qi family, there are still outsiders involved...... After a pause, he said: "Lao Shangshu, Xiao Wang's words are all here, but Lao Shangshu is well-informed and thoughtful, what Xiao Wang said today is true or false, Lao Shangshu has his own judgment." Then his eyes were cold, and he said: "Because of this, Qi Ning has to be removed." ”

Lao Shangshu said: "Since the prince said that Qi Ning is not a member of the Qi family, and it is a huge scourge, he has long wanted to kill him, but why has he not made a move?" Does the emperor know about this? ”

"It's inconceivable, but the witness has great good." Xiao Shaozong sighed: "He thinks that as long as he conceals this matter, so that Qi Ning thinks that he is the Qi family, and then he is loyal to Da Chu, it is not necessary to kill." Xiao Wang...... Although I don't dare to agree, but the people's hearts are kind, since the witness insisted, and was unwilling to come out to testify, Xiao Wang could only closely monitor Qi Ning, only hoping that this person could make contributions to my Great Chu, and not have a rebellious heart. ”

Lao Shangshu frowned and said, "Could it be that the prince has been spying on him all these years?" ”

"Lao Shangshu naturally knows that Qi Ning was delirious, stupid and dull in his early years, and if he kept doing so, he would naturally not pose any threat to the empire." Xiao Shaozong sighed: "But a few years ago, there was an accident, it is said that the people of the Northern Han Jiutianlou kidnapped this person, and wanted to bring this person back to the Northern Han Dynasty, so as to threaten Qi Jing, and then the people of the Qi family found Qi Ning, for some reason, Qi Ning, who escaped death, has changed greatly because of this...... ”

Lao Shangshu bowed his head and said: "Yes, the old minister was also very surprised when he knew about it. But the kid may have been frightened, but his mind was enlightened. ”

Xiao Shaozong approached Lao Shangshu and said in a low voice: "Old Shangshu knows why Qi Ning became stupid?" ”

Lao Shangshu immediately heard that Xiao Shaozong had something to say, he obviously said that Qi Ning was stupid back then, but he still seemed very calm, looking at Xiao Shaozong's eyes close at hand, although he didn't speak, but there was a bit of inquiry in his eyes.

"The Liu family died in childbirth, and Qi Ning was raised by Mrs. Qi herself." A strange smile appeared on Xiao Shaozong's lips: "In the first few years, that Mrs. Tai has indeed been taking care of Qi Ning, but after that, Mrs. Tai made the decision and let Qi Jing accept the Liu family as a concubine, and the Liu family also gave birth to a boy for the Qi family, and when Qi Ning was four or five years old, Mrs. Qi handed over Qi Ning to the concubine Liu to take care of. ”

Lao Shangshu bowed his head and said: "It is the aunt who gave birth to the second son of the Qi family." ”

"Exactly." Xiao Shaozong said: "As far as Xiao Wang knows, when Mrs. Qi handed over Qi Ning to the Liu family, she had already begun to have problems with her brain, she was silent, and she just smirked at people all day long. ”

Lao Shangshu sighed: "At this time, Lao Chen also knows. When Qi Ning was young, the old minister also saw it, the child was talented and talented, at a young age, it was the ancient sage article, as long as he read it once, he could never forget it, the old minister still remembered that General Qi said that when the child was a few years older, he would be handed over to Zhuo Qingyang, and Zhuo Qingyang would teach him personally. But..... Later, I heard that the child was suddenly stunned, unable to speak, stupid and dull, which was really unexpected. ”

Xiao Shaozong said with a smile: "Lao Shangshu naturally wouldn't have thought that Qi Ning had changed from a prodigy to a fool, but someone had done something wrong. ”

Lao Shangshu's body was shocked, and Xiao Shaozong leaned into Lao Shangshu's ear and said: "Qi Ning has been taking medicine for the past few years when he was raised by Mrs. Qi Jiatai, and it is the medicine that has made the talented and intelligent prodigy a fool!" ”

The two of them were whispering in a low voice, and Dou Kui and the others in the distance naturally saw it, seeing Xiao Shaozong and Lao Shangshu under the protection of the iron shield, they seemed to be discussing something, they were all a little strange, secretly thinking that now that the soldiers are coming to the city, it is an extraordinary time, how can the little prince have Yaxing Yuan Lao Shangshu for a long time? What exactly are the two talking about?

Everyone felt strange in their hearts, but naturally no one dared to take a step closer.

Hearing that Qi Ning was injured by the drug, Lao Shangshu, who had been calm, finally showed a shocked look and said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, this can't be a joke?" ”

"Lao Shangshu rest assured, what Xiao Wang said to you today, every word has a place, and it is not a mouthful." Xiao Shaozong said: "And sooner or later, Xiao Wang will put the evidence on the boss's desk." ”

"You say..... Qi Ning was injured by drugs back then, so ..... So who did this? Lao Shangshu frowned and said: "Qi Ning is taken care of by Mrs. Tai, and there are people by his side day and night, who can poison him?" ”

"Naturally, Mrs. Tai." Xiao Shaozong chuckled: "Don't hide it from the boss, after Qi Ning was handed over to Mrs. Tai, the food has been poisoned, but Qi Jing still cares about this son very much, so Mrs. Tai doesn't want the general to know that Qi Ning is hurt." That poison is very special, after taking it, it can't work immediately, it needs to be slowly accumulated over many years, so it can not only destroy Qi Ning's brain, but the doctor can't find out the clues. After a few years, Qi Ning had begun to react slowly, but Mrs. Tai took the opportunity to hand over Qi Ning to the hands of the concubine......! There was a hint of gloom in his eyes: "The concubine Liu already has a child, although Qi Ning is dull, but he is the concubine of the main room, Qi Ning is in the hands of the Liu family, naturally there will be no good fruit to eat." ”

Lao Shangshu has seen a lot of knowledge in his life and has insight into people's hearts, as soon as Xiao Shaozong said this, he immediately understood the key, his expression became solemn, his lips moved slightly, but he did not speak.

"Mrs. Tai naturally knew from the beginning that Qi Ning was not the bloodline of the Qi family, otherwise how could she have done such a poisonous act to her eldest grandson?" Xiao Shaozong sneered: "Or that lady has a grudge against a child who is not of the Qi family's bloodline, but it is just because of General Qi, so she didn't blatantly treat him." She knew that the Liu family must not have any good intentions towards Qi Ning, but she still handed her over, just to use the Liu family's hand to torture Qi Ning, besides ......! After a pause, he continued to whisper: "Although Qi Ning is taken care of by the Liu family, there is still that kind of poison in the diet, and Lao Shangshu naturally understands why Mrs. Tai wants to do this. Speaking of this, Xiao Shaozong's lips flashed with a mocking smile.

Of course, Lao Shangshu understood Mrs. Tai's intentions.

Mrs. Tai was afraid of Qi Jing, so she could only secretly poison Qi Ning, the poison had been going down for many years, so that Qi Ning's brain was damaged and became unresponsive, Qi Jing was of course a shrewd person, a child who was talented and intelligent when he was a child suddenly became stupid and stupid, which could not make Qi Jing suspicious.

Mrs. Tai was naturally worried that Qi Jing would one day find out that it would hurt the relationship between mother and son, so she handed Qi Ning into the hands of Aunt Qiong, which was to find a scapegoat.

If Qi Jing found out that Qi Ning was injured by drugs, he would naturally be held accountable to Aunt Qiong, who took care of Qi Ning, and how dare Aunt Qiong say that Mrs. Tai ordered her to use medicine on Qi Ning? What's more, at that time, everyone in the house knew that Aunt Qiong had tortured Qi Ning many times, so it was natural for Aunt Qiong to poison her, and it was impossible for anyone to suspect Mrs. Tai.

As a result, Mrs. Tai got her wish and made Qi Ning completely stupid, and even if the East Window incident happened, there was Aunt Qiong in the top cylinder.

Lao Shangshu understood the key and was shocked.

"Since this is a matter of the Qi family, even General Qi doesn't know the truth, where did the prince get it?" Lao Shangshu sighed: "The prince is not a few years older than Qi Ning, when these things happen, the prince is also a young man, will the prince pay attention to the affairs of the Qi family at that time?" ”

"Xiao Wang said that there has always been a witness to the cause and effect of this matter." Xiao Shaozong said: "That witness has actually been worried that because of the existence of this child, it may not only hurt the Qi family, but even hurt Da Chu, so for many years, he has been paying great attention to the Qi family. After a pause, he said in a low voice: "That witness has quietly entered the Qi family several times over the years, which naturally no one knows, and he is also very aware of Mrs. Tai's poisoning, and he also tried to stop it, but after all, he did not succeed in stopping it, and ...... If Qi Ning really becomes a stupid person, then there will be no more threats to the Qi family and Da Chu, which is actually not a bad thing. ”

"You mean to say that the witness has been in contact with Mrs. Tai." Lao Shangshu said: "And he has also been paying attention to Qi Ning? ”

Xiao Shaozong bowed his head and said, "That's right. If Qi Ning was really so stupid, maybe there would be no future. But a few years ago, because of the kidnapping of Jiutianlou, Qi Ning was suddenly reborn and became a different person......! His eyes were deep, and the cold light flickered: "Old Shangshu, Qi Ning became a sluggish person, not because of stimulation, but because of years of accumulation of drugs, from a medical point of view, the brain has been seriously damaged, how can he be able to recover his sanity because he was frightened by being kidnapped by Jiutianlou?" ”
