231, poisoned coma
King Zhongyi came to the door at this time, it was really weird, if Pingyang Hou Shizi was telling the truth, it would be good if everyone didn't rush to his house to settle accounts immediately.
He actually came to the door.
Originally, because of the disposal of Pingyang Hou Shizi, everyone was a little lax, thinking about making up for sleep, this will, no one can sleep.
The three men in the study all washed, cleaned their faces, and arranged their clothes, and then went to the flower hall together to see King Zhongyi.
The eldest princess of the backyard protector has already risen, and she is dining with Gu Nian and the lord of Jingning, and when she heard that the king of Zhongyi is coming, she put down her chopsticks one after another.
In the end, King Zhongyi was not facing the eldest princess of the country, but all the male and female masters of the three mansions, except for Mrs. An Yuanhou who was also locked up in the backyard.
King Zhongyi, who was sitting in the flower hall waiting, couldn't help but be stunned when he saw such a battle.
"You want to see me early in the morning, what's the matter?" Zhou Yuxuan came back late, and she didn't have time to tell the eldest princess what the Hou Shizi of Pingyang revealed, this will, she can be said to be kind and pleasant when she talks to the king of loyalty.
King Zhongyi looked thoughtful, the flesh on his face drooped down, the corners of his mouth hung, and when he heard what the eldest princess said, he put down the tea cup in his hand and said,
"There's something I'd like to discuss with you."
"Talk to us?" The eldest princess said slowly, "Our two families shouldn't have anything to discuss, right?" The people in your house first wanted to harm my niece, and then they wanted to poison my niece in the palace.
Being able to keep you in a seat here is already a lot of face. ”
Her words, her posture was sufficient, and she almost never gave King Zhongyi any face.
If the first sentence just now is a pleasant face, it will have the meaning of tearing the skin.
King Zhongyi's face did not change, and he said, "I came today to testify about the servant girl, and the poison in the palace was not given by us, and everyone here knows who did it." ”
"We don't know anything." The eldest princess turned her head and asked Gu Shi'an leisurely, "Do you know?" ”
"The son-in-law doesn't know." He replied to the eldest princess's words respectfully, and looked at King Zhongyi again, "I also want to ask the prince to make it clear." ”
The face of the loyal and righteous king is as cold as iron.
"Is this going to pretend to be confused?"
"That's not to be true. The prince also knows that it is not you who we testify, it is the palace maid who testifies, the physical evidence, the human evidence is very complete, and more importantly, the prince of your mansion, who intends to kill people and kill the palace maid who testifies against you, these are all witnessed by everyone.
It's strange that something plain is being asked of us. ”
Gu Shi'an lightly touched the table and said slowly.
King Zhongyi's eyes were microns, and he looked at Gu Shi'an from a distance of three feet.
He was willing to come to see the eldest princess of the Protectorate, but he never wanted them to meet him in such a way.
The emperor was suddenly very merciful, even if Xiu'e endangered their comfort, he still gave him a chance to prove his innocence.
This did not make him happy.
He felt that this was a trap, and the news he had found out during this time made him toss and turn, so he came to the door early in the morning.
The purpose of coming is not only to clarify my innocence, but also to do something else.
He held the armrest of the chair with both hands, looked at Gu Shi'an deeply, and said, "I said last time, there are some things, I hope you don't regret it." ”
Gu Shi'an leaned back in his chair leisurely, raised his eyebrows, and opened his mouth lightly, "Then you can talk about the things that make me regret it." ”
King Zhongyi stared at a room of people, and suddenly stood up with the armrest of a chair and said,
"Let's not talk about the thing I instructed people to poison in the palace for the time being, just say that Jing Ning was 'killed' for so many years, don't you want to know what the reason is?"
As soon as his words came out, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became stagnant.
Gu Shi'an smiled and said, "These are related to you, aren't they?" The flying insect that made Jing Ning fake her death is what you provided. ”
His eyelids were raised, and the cold under his eyes was like ice that had not melted for thousands of years, as if the smile just now was an illusion.
When King Zhongyi heard this, he laughed 'haha' and looked crazy, "It's Guan Jing and that slut who told you." That's right! The bug was indeed given by me.
That's just what I did, though. Others, don't you want to know? ”
"Do you want to say that it is convenient for Pingyang Hou to go out of the city?" Zhou Yuxuan continued.
King Zhongyi's pupils shrank, his gaze was cloudy, and after a while, he said coldly, "It seems that you know a lot, but what you know, as long as you have the heart, you can find out, but do you know who is behind the scenes?" What is his purpose? ”
"Isn't that just the right time for you to give us an answer? Isn't that what you're here for? If we all knew, we wouldn't be able to show your role, would we? ”
Gu Shi'an's voice was cold, and his face was cold.
What Guan Jinghe said, everyone here knows, but what Zhou Yuxuan said, the women don't know yet, this is already an impact, who would have thought that the former in-laws, the Pingyang Hou Mansion, had a calculation in this matter?
Everyone looked at the King of Loyalty, and the irrepressible killing intent in their eyes, the arrows that were like a string, shot at the King of Loyalty.
Facing the eyes full of murderous intent, King Zhongyi showed a miserable smile, sighed heavily, and said, "I know that this trip back to Beijing, the emperor wants to withdraw the feudal domain, and it is okay if I want me to say it, but I have one condition." ”
The eldest princess of the Protectorate stared at King Zhongyi with a pair of undisguised anger, and hooked the corners of her mouth as if mockingly, "If you want to say it, just say it, as for the conditions, no matter what they are, we will not agree."
If you don't say it, we'll know too, but sooner or later.
You are not in a position to negotiate terms with us now. ”
Because of his words, King Zhongyi finally couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and said fiercely, "If you can kill the enemy earlier, why don't you agree?"
My condition is very simple, that is, you will persuade the emperor not to withdraw my domain. ”
As soon as the words of the King of Loyalty came out, they all sneered.
"Is your face a little bigger? If you don't remove your domain, what are you? What have you done for Dongli? What have you done for them, besides exploiting the people of your fiefdom? Xiao Yue asked lightly.
King Zhongyi was silent, and finally said indifferently, "I didn't do anything, but I didn't do anything hurtful, instead of returning to the capital to be an idle prince, then I might as well watch you headless flies check around." ”
There was a faint smile on the corner of Gu Shi'an's mouth, and his eyes fell on the frosty King Zhongyi, "Actually, you have no choice but to tell us, because you are already an outcast."
What happened in the palace during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Gong E's testimony, isn't it the people behind the scenes who threw you out? ”
King Zhongyi's heart was cold, and the color of Sen Ran in his eyes became thicker, just now he said what the truth was, everyone knew it, but he was just deceiving Gu Shi'an and others.
Who was really poisoned, he has not yet found out.
And while he was deceiving Gu Shi'an and others, Gu Shi'an was also deceiving the loyal and righteous king, because the poisoning in the palace was originally a scene between them and the emperor, and now, it seems that the effect is still good.
"So what do you want me to do?" King Zhongyi had a wry smile on his lips.
"It's not that we want the prince to do it, it's that you don't have a choice. Don't you say it, we can settle the account slowly, don't you know yet, you and Pingyang Hou Shizi together to send Mrs. Anyuan Marquis back, Pingyang Hou Shizi has recruited ......" The corners of Gu Shi'an's mouth hooked slightly.
King Zhongyi closed his eyes and hid his red eyes, but the joints were slightly white from the clenching of his fists, which revealed his inner struggle.
Although he felt like a fish exposed to the sun now, because there was no water, he couldn't breathe, and he was already about to suffocate.
This pain is like cutting flesh on his body one by one.
"I said, I don't care about my life, I just want to spare my family's life." After saying this, there was no trace of blood on his face, and his right hand covered his chest, as if to suppress the pain in his heart.
"Okay, I promise you. There is a wrong, there is a debtor, as long as we are the real murderer, we will not implicate the innocent. "The eldest princess of the protector is final.
"More than ten years ago, I was only the prince of the Zhongyi King, and the vassal king could not leave the fiefdom without permission, including his family. But I was young and vigorous at that time, so I secretly went out of Chungju and went around to play. ”
"At the beginning, no one found out in disguise, until one day, I accidentally killed someone, I had already escaped, who knows, I was still discovered.
That person didn't report to the official, but helped me cover up.
I was grateful in my heart, because of the murder, after I returned to Chungju, I no longer dared to go out casually.
Just when I was about to forget about the murder, someone reminded me and asked me for help, a favor I couldn't refuse. ”
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, his eyes were cold, "It's my fault to kill people, but I deserve to be caught."
I agreed to help, that is, to provide fake death bugs, I thought this was already clear, but I didn't expect a blunt knife to cut the flesh, this thing has been pinched by people, and there are one and two things to help.
Then came the provision of gold and silver, and all sorts of other things.
Sometimes I think about it, I might as well go to the government at that time, the royal people, who hasn't killed a few people? ”
He sighed, lowered his head, and his voice gradually lowered, "I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for Jingning, and I'm sorry for ......."
He hung his head, and suddenly his body went limp, and a little black blood overflowed from his mouth.
Everyone in the hall was shocked, and they all stood up, and Gu Nian and Lord Jingning exclaimed at the same time, looking at the Zhongyi King who seemed to be dead in disbelief.
Gu Shi'an rushed up first and probed the snort of King Zhongyi, "There is still ...... qi"
It happened too suddenly, not to mention that I don't know who the person behind the scenes is, even if the prince died in the mansion, it was enough to trouble for a while.
"Quick, go and invite the white girl to come over......," Gu Nian helped the eldest princess of the protectorate to turn her head and order Aoba.
Since he is not dead, he can still be saved.
Fortunately, the county lord of Jingning did not go back yesterday, and later sent someone to Suwang's Mansion to pick up Bai Feng.
At this time, the porter outside reported outside, "Your Highness, Lord Wang, there is a word from the palace, saying that Your Majesty has invited Prince Su to enter the palace and has something to see." ”
"Got it." Gu Shi'an replied, sent away the gatehouse, looked at the eldest princess of the protectorate and said, "Mother-in-law, the younger son-in-law will go to the palace to see Your Majesty first, go and come back quickly." ”
The eldest princess of the Protector of the Kingdom looked calm and nodded, "You go, Your Majesty has an important matter to summon you at this time." ”
Gu Shi'an bowed, raised his feet and walked out, just when he happened to meet Bai Feng hurriedly trotting over with his skirt.
After Bai Feng entered, she put her hand on the pulse of King Zhongyi, and her face was not very good-looking, and after a while, she opened her mouth and said,
"This person, his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys are almost bad, and he can still live, but he doesn't have much time."
Zhou Yuxuan asked in a low voice, "What do you mean when you say that King Zhongyi's heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys are almost bad?" ”
Bai Feng looked at Zhou Yuxuan, smiled, and said, "It's that his five organs are broken, I don't know exactly what the reason is, if you don't encounter any sad things, or you have been poisoned by others."
I can't escape these two, looking at his appearance, he is fat like this, not like a sad person, he should still be poisoned by others. ”
Her words gave Xiao Yue an idea, if King Zhongyi is an outcast, then he should be killed.
Moreover, it is necessary to buckle the basin of murderous to their heads.
A vassal king, dying in the mansion of a prince's mansion, even if they didn't do it, is enough to worry for a while.
The eldest princess of the Protectorate looked at Bai Feng and said, "Bai girl, then please see if you can be saved first, Xuan'er, you send someone to the Zhongyi Palace." At the same time, let people go to the yamen to report to the official. ”
Bai Feng took out the dark red scorpion from the bag, and wanted to put it on the body of King Zhongyi and give him drugs, but Zhou Yuxuan saw this and hurriedly stopped it.
"Feng'er, do you have any pills or something, don't use this scorpion."
He was afraid that Bai Feng would use a scorpion at that time, and he would not be able to explain it clearly.
Bai Feng thought about it, put the scorpion back, and took out a pill from another purse, "This can make him better for the time being, I don't know if I can wake up, but protect his heart, so that he can't die for the time being." ”
Zhou Yuxuan felt that this would be fine.
The people of the Zhongyi Palace's Mansion came a little faster than the people of the Yamen.
When Princess Zhongyi received the news, she felt that the sky had fallen.
She stared straight at the gray face of the King of Loyalty, stunned for a moment, rolled her eyes, and quickly fainted.
She is not a weak character, but this bad news is too shocking, there is no buffer, she is still waiting in the palace for her husband to go back to discuss something.
Now, her husband has fainted like that, and he can't be detected by Qiruo.
Her brain broke and she had to pass out.
She didn't faint for long, the Marquis of Anyuan Mansion and the maid she brought with herself hurriedly carried her to the guest house, she woke up, she waved away everyone, and staggered out with one deep foot and one shallow foot.
She went to the flower hall where King Zhongyi was unconscious again, and happened to see the people from the yamen also coming.
The people of the Marquis of Anyuan's Mansion, the King of Jin and his wife, and the lord of Jingning are all there.
She felt like she had been stabbed by something in her head, like a tigress, and pounced on Xiao Yue's back, "You ......"
It's so ruthless!
It's too congested!
She was too stimulated, her eyes were blood-red, and she couldn't think about it more, she only felt that it must be Xiao Yue's poisonous hand.
Xiao Yue heard a voice behind him, and in a timely flash, Princess Zhongyi threw herself directly to the ground, just kneeling at the feet of King Zhongyi who had fainted on the chair.
She trembled and reached into the tip of King Zhongyi's nose, her breathing was weak, she breathed a sigh of relief, and saw the eldest princess of the Protector who was talking to Dali Siqing, Shuntianfu Yin and others on the side.
If she saw the life-saving straw, she rushed forward, twisted her face and said, "It's them, they want to kill the prince, it must be them, you have to be the master of the prince." ”
"No, I want to enter the palace, I want to go to sue the royal court."
The eldest princess of the protectorate scolded, "You calm down, don't talk nonsense, if it were us, we wouldn't be stupid enough to kill people in our own mansion." ”
"You can ask the people from the Tai Hospital, as well as the servants to come and see, why is this happening."
"Calm down? How do I calm down? After being frightened and angry, Princess Zhongyi finally cried loudly, "This is my husband, you let me calm down, how can I calm down?" Feelings for your husband is dead, and you want others to die too? ”
"I'm going to sue the emperor and let the emperor come up to judge."
"You are all murderers, murderers, you are revenge." Princess Zhongyi pulled the hem of Dali Siqing's clothes and said angrily.
There is a difference between men and women, Princess Zhongyi waved her hand and wanted to pull the hem of Dali Siqing's clothes, but Dali Siqing was forced by her to keep retreating.
"Princess, you have to have evidence to do this, now that the prince is still alive, Xia Guan has already asked people to go to the Tai Hospital to ask for a verdict, this matter, Xia Guan must report to the emperor.
So, you wait patiently. ”
……
After Gu Shi'an received the message, he immediately rushed to the palace, and he still had what happened in the Hou Mansion in his heart, as soon as he entered the palace, only the emperor was waiting in the Yang Xin Palace, and he didn't wait for the emperor to say why he summoned him, so he first told the story of King Zhongyi fainting in the Hou Mansion.
The emperor's body stiffened suddenly, "What's the matter?" ”
Gu Shi'an said, "King Zhongyi went to his mother-in-law and wanted to tell her the real culprit who harmed Jing Ning back then, but before he could speak, he passed out. ”
"There happens to be someone in the house who knows how to heal, and it is said that he should have been poisoned......"
Gu Shi'an clenched his hands into fists, and his face sank.
The emperor gritted his back molars, and his voice was cold, "It should be the person behind the scenes, it's really sad!"
Speaking of which, I will teach you here today because there is another matter, there is a secret agent who has sent news, it is said that the eldest princess of Changning is holding a holy decree in her hand, which was written by the first emperor......"
Gu Shi'an was puzzled, "Why is the will written by the first emperor in the hands of the eldest princess of Changning?" ”
The emperor's face was like ice, "Do you remember that the Duke of Yasukuni once said that he had a holy decree written by his father?" ”
Why didn't Gu Shi'an remember?
The reason why Yasukuni did all those evils was because of the idea of helping him to ascend to the throne.
The will......
"That will, I don't know why it came to the mansion of the eldest princess of Changning. It was written on that decree that the capable should dwell there...... It is estimated that Mo Da and Lin Song united because of this holy decree. ”
The emperor looked at Gu Shi'an, and his face was solemn like never before.
Gu Shi'an was also surprised, "Are you sure that this holy decree is in the hands of the eldest princess of Changning?" ”
The emperor nodded, "It's true, this spy followed Mo Da and heard it in his mouth." ”
"Your Majesty, can you let him inquire about it, apart from this holy decree, is there any other reason for the Mo family and the four princes to unite together?
As the highest elder of the royal family, the eldest princess of Changning has always been in peace, if there is no inevitable reason, how can she be desperate and unite with the four princes?
The emperor nodded and agreed to Gu Shi'an's request, which was also what he wanted to find out.
After that, Gu Shi'an talked about the Hou Shizi of Pingyang again, originally he was going to wait for Zhou Yuxuan to enter the palace, but now that King Zhongyi is in a coma in the Hou Mansion, as the prince of the Hou Mansion, Zhou Yuxuan will not be able to get out for a while.
The emperor sat on the dragon chair and sighed, "This day is too tiring, every day is full of intrigue, black is not necessarily black, and white is not necessarily white."
The truth is to leave all this behind and go for a walk on the rivers and lakes. ”
Gu Shi'an might as well hear the emperor's exclamation, and said with a smile, "The minister has walked on the rivers and lakes, but the taste is not good. ”
"The heroes and the like written in the book are chic and chic, but they are actually all beautified. It doesn't say where they get the money to walk the rivers and lakes. People either need to eat, to dress, to have physical and psychological needs, these are all things that cost money......"
The emperor listened, "Then there is really nothing easy about it." ”
"Not really." Gu Shi'an chuckled.
The atmosphere in the palace was tense and relaxed, and the atmosphere in the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion was always tense.
The judge of the Tai Hospital rushed to the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion to treat King Zhongyi, and he said frankly to Princess Zhongyi, "The prince is poisoned." ”
Before he finished his words, he heard Princess Zhongyi pointing at Xiao Yue and saying to Dali Siqing, "You listened to what the imperial doctor said, the prince was poisoned, not who they were, why did our prince go out well, and when he saw the people from the Hou Mansion, he was poisoned and fell into a coma?" ”
The court judge waved his hand and said to her, "Princess, the lower official hasn't finished speaking, the prince is poisonous, it's not the next time, this is accumulated over many years, probably the prince encountered something, his heart was uneasy, and it caused toxicity, so he passed out." ”
Princess Zhongyi didn't expect the truth to be like this, and she was uneasy, recently the prince couldn't sleep at night and couldn't eat, just because of the Mid-Autumn Festival, she was accused of being drugged in the palace by the palace.
She looked at Gu Nian resentfully, "Why is it uneasy, it's not because of the matter of the Jin Palace." ”
She said and cried, "The last time I was in the Jin Palace, I was found out about the ugly thing with Xiaohe, and later in the palace, I was accused of poisoning the palace, but we didn't do anything, so we made a reputation as a murderer for no reason." ”
"Even if he was poisoned, he wouldn't be like this without these bad things. If you want to blame, blame the Jin Wang and his wife, if our prince can't survive, you are murderers......"
Everyone in the hall was shocked by Princess Zhongyi's words, and Gu Nian was even more angry, and said, "Princess, this is too strong, don't you blame the person who poisoned the prince, you actually blame us, this is a bit of putting the cart before the horse, right?" ”
"Besides, the incident that happened in our house was not forced and suppressed by us, and the poisoning incident in the palace was not pointed out by us, so why is it all on us?
I think, this poison, it shouldn't be you, the princess, right? After all, the court judge said that this poison has been accumulated over many years, and who else can poison it better than the people around him? ”
