Ji Tong and You Xiu hurried to the palace, and the results of the Tai Hospital tested: the poison in the thief king is called Shen Mian San, after ordinary people take this medicine, it will not have any effect, if it is taken for the second time in three days, it will fall asleep, according to the different physique of the individual, the time to wake up is not the same, as little as three or five days, as much as ten days. During the period of sleep, he is unable to eat, and his physical strength is not very large, and the possibility of death is basically zero.

"It is strange that a man sleeps thirstily and starvation for ten days without dying!" Yin Shenglin said.

Imperial Physician Li explained: "Thirst is not thirsty, we can use cotton dipped in a small amount of sugar water, smear it in the mouth of the thief king, to achieve the effect of replenishing water and food, with his body, he can wake up in seven days at most, so Your Majesty can rest assured." ”

"Then I will hand over Brother Wang to Imperial Physician Li. You go down first. ”

"Yes."

Ji Tong said: "Your Majesty, the murderer's method of poisoning, the minister has already figured it out. Sleep is in the wine, and on ordinary days, it is impossible for the king of thieves to drink at home by himself. A day ago, Liu Jiaotou went to Fuzhong, and the father and son drank wine. At this time, the king of thieves had already been hit by a deep sleep, and when the king of thieves and Mr. You drank together, they were poisoned for the second time, and the sleep was effective, which is why Mr. You was fine after drinking the same alcohol. ”

You Xiu said: "This person must know very well about the banquet arrangements and guest schedules of the Thief Palace. Therefore, the people who poisoned the people were the people in the house, and those who could have access to alcohol were the people who were in charge of cooking in the house. ”

"That's right, I've taken everyone suspected before me for questioning." Ji Tong said.

"You Xiu, you go down first. Xue Gonggong, it is rumored that General Wang Fugui came to see me. ”

"Yes."

After Gonggong Xue and You Xiu left, Yin Shenglin beckoned and asked everyone in the hall to go out.

"Your Majesty, do you have any important matters to discuss with your ministers alone?" Ji Tong asked.

"Ji Zhutou, you are a talent that I personally promoted. Help me analyze why these people don't want to steal the king's life, but do it. ”

Ji Tong was a little hesitant, he felt that there were some things that he didn't say to the emperor.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it, it's impossible for Liu Dehao to get up and beat you now."

"Then the minister will speak his mind." Ji Tong said: "If I am the one who is against Your Majesty, then I will definitely get rid of your right-hand man at all costs." Who is the King of Thieves? That's one of your hands, and now that this situation has appeared, there is only one possibility that Weichen can think of. ”

"Oh? Which is possible? ”

"Even this poisoner still has a little conscience in his heart, he doesn't want to really kill the thief king, but wants to create a phenomenon of the thief king fake his death, so that he can confuse the enemy." Ji Tong said: "The news is not fast now. We might as well make a plan and declare to the outside world that the thief king has been poisoned and go west, and then observe the enemy's next move. ”

Imperial Physician Li, who had just walked out, suddenly came to see him again, and happened to come in with Wang Fugui.

Yin Shenglin had an ominous premonition: "Imperial Doctor Li, you speak first." ”

"Your Majesty, it's not good! The Tai Hospital has just checked out a new drug, and there is also a chronic poison called frostthorn in the wine drunk by the thief king, which will attack within two days after poisoning, and if you don't take the antidote within seven days after the attack, you will ...... will die due to the failure of the five internal organs! ”

"Then you're ......"

Before Yin Shenglin finished speaking, Gonggong Xue had already hurried back: "Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, Mr. You fell to the ground and fell unconscious." ”

"Sure enough...... Doctor Li, go find the antidote! ”

"This antidote to it...... Frostthorn is an extremely uncommon poison, and the raw material is the red sap dripping from the Dripping Blood Tree on the Emerald Mountain, which can be touched with the hand, but not taken or touched by the wound. The antidote is the root of another tree. ”

"What tree?"

"The Emerald Tree."

"Huh?"

"The jade tree is also in the Emerald Mountain, according to legend, this tree has survived for thousands of years, and only one grows above the main coffin of the tomb of the anti-tomb robber Jia Zeng." Imperial Physician Li said: "It can also be said that Jia Zeng built his tomb under the roots of the jade tree. ”

"It's all providence. It seems that they are coming for me in the Eternal Silence Cool City, Wang Fugui! ”

"In!"

"Prepare men, horses, and gunpowder."

"Yes!"

Gonggong Xue asked, "Your Majesty, are you going to go to the Blood Jade Tomb in person?" It's a dangerous place to gather yin energy, and you can't go there! That's a place where even our famous imperial thieves dare not go! ”

"Wang Fugui, are you deaf? Hurry up! ”

"Yes! Your Majesty! But this kind of thing is really dangerous...... I think we'll have to wait until you've discussed it. ”

"Father-in-law Xue, I have always listened to you and the thief king, if the thief king is here, he will not let me go. But this time I can't help but go, since Eternal Silence is coming to me, then I must accept their challenge. Yin Shenglin said: "The imperial thief has rules, and he does not go to the Jade Tomb, but I am not the person of the imperial thief." ”

"Your Majesty!" Gonggong Xue knelt in front of Yin Shenglin, and all the courtiers also knelt down: "Your Majesty, you can't go!" ”

"You also have brothers and sisters, your own brother has been poisoned, and the antidote is in the hands of the bad guys, so you won't get the antidote? I know that you are afraid that I will die at the hands of those traitors, yes, I am afraid of death, but I don't want to see my brother die. The relationship between me and Brother Wang has nothing to do with the national interests and the future of the country, I only know that since I have the opportunity to save him, I will never give up. Yin Shenglin said.

Wang Fugui said: "Then you can go in place of Your Majesty, isn't it the Jade Tomb, I blew up the Jade Mountain, and took out the roots of the broken tree, where do you need to trouble Your Majesty." ”

"Do you really think I'm just looking for an antidote? Such a good opportunity, why don't I take the opportunity to destroy the Eternal Cool City? Yin Shenglin said: "Wang Fugui, you go now, I will not give up this opportunity easily, since he dares to come to the door, then let this eternal silent cool city not be able to eat and go around." ”

"Yes, the last general will go." Wang Fugui said.

Gonggong Xue knew that he couldn't stop the emperor, so he had to obey his fate, Yin Shenglin said: "Imperial Doctor Li, Mr. You and the thief king may have to be handed over to you to take care of." ”

"Your Majesty rest assured."

"General Wang Jixiang and General Li Runlin entered the palace." Yin Shenglin asked, "What about Liu Jiaotou?" ”

"I'm patrolling the palace."

"Jiaotou Liu also called."

……

Wang Fugui came to the royal Changling camp to personally order the generals: "We don't need too many people this time, you are all elite soldiers and strong generals in the Changling camp, cheer me up and protect Your Majesty's safety!"

"Yes!"
