Chapter 257: Poisoning
The guests on King Zhe's side clearly saw King Zhe's expression, "Coax".
Jin Xiuchen is very close to Jin Zhe, and when he falls to the ground, he knows that he is the target of King Qu, this is to see that King Zhe has risen too quickly recently, so he has murderous intentions?
King Qu can do it at this palace banquet, without any scruples about brotherhood and national face, which is enough to show his ruthlessness and cold-bloodedness, thinking of this, Jin Xiuchen was a little cold, squinted at him, and happened to see a smile on the corner of his mouth.
King Ning was attracted by the singing and dancing in the hall, and was enjoying it, but he was suddenly smashed on the instep of his foot by an object, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Jin Zhe who fell to the ground, screamed, and hurriedly dodged and jumped.
This scene naturally could not escape the emperor's eyes, he did not see the true situation of Jin Zhe, only when he did not sit firmly before he fell to the ground, his face was dark, how could he make a mistake in front of foreign envoys?
Seeing that the emperor was safe, Gonggong Su hurriedly responded and came down the steps to Jin Zhe, who couldn't help but be startled at this look, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, King Zhe has been poisoned!"
There was a sound of inhalation in the hall!
The emperor stood up when he heard the sound and shouted, "What? poisoning!"
Jin Xiuchen got up and came to Jin Zhe's side, helped him up, lightly touched the black blood at the corner of his mouth with his fingertips, put it under his nose and sniffed, frowned and said: "Brother Huang, Emperor Zhe's nephew is poisoned, hurry up and announce the imperial doctor." ”
"Poisoning?" Jin Roujia shouted in a low voice, and hurriedly ran to Jin Zhe's side, seeing that his little face had been dyed with jet black, and couldn't help but worry in his heart, this... It's not going to die, is it?
The emperor looked at the dishes on the table in front of him, and was afraid in his heart, so he shouted: "Hurry up and announce the imperial doctor!"
The queen also stood up, looked at Jin Zhe, who had lost consciousness, and hurriedly commanded the palace maids and eunuchs, and ordered: "Quickly carry King Zhe to the side hall!"
Jin Roujia heard the panic in the queen's tone, hurriedly stepped forward to hold her, and went to the side hall together.
At this point, this palace banquet can be regarded as unable to continue, even if it is barely carried out, who dares to eat the food in front of them?
The emperor's face was gloomy, his eyes patrolled the people in the hall, and finally landed on the worried King Qu and the panicked and panting King Ning, and his eyes gradually sharpened!
King Ning was startled when he came into contact with the emperor's sight, and he shook his head innocently to say that it had nothing to do with him.
King Qu stepped forward awe-inspiring and arched his hand: "I also ask my father to send the Imperial Forest Army to block the Huayang Palace and the imperial dining room, and all the palace maids who should take over the food will be checked, the fifth brother can't be poisoned in vain, and the murderer must pay the price!"
Peng Mo looked at King Qu, this is the person who knows the face but does not know the heart, who would have thought that the surface brother and brother, the gentle and elegant King Qu, is such a vicious executioner behind the scenes?
King Ming and King Wu glanced at each other, their eyes were sarcastic, it seems that the water of this great Yong is not clean!
The emperor took a deep look at King Qu and shouted, "Where is the Imperial Forest Army?"
King Qu was relieved to see that the emperor had taken his approach, but his face was still worried.
With the emperor's shouting, the sound of "hulala" armor rubbing resounded throughout the hall.
The ladies looked at the Royal Forest Army who broke into the hall, holding weapons and looking solemn, and they were so frightened that they hugged each other, and some of the timid ones had already sobbed in a low voice.
Siyan looked at the various scenes in the hall with interest, looked sideways at Peng Mo, who looked indifferent, and raised her eyebrows: "The county lord of Huining is really different from those stupid people who scream and scream, and he is not panicked at all when he sees this situation!"
Peng Mo chuckled lightly and said lightly: "These are boudoir women, naturally they are not as wise as the Siyan County Lord, who has seen killing!"
Siyan wanted to allude to Peng Mo's inconsistencies, but she was pushed back with a light and a serious attitude, and hooked her lips coldly: "In this way, the county lord of Huining has also seen people who have been killed, so he is not afraid?"
Peng Mo lowered his eyes, smiled faintly, and said: "The county lord said that he laughed, the Dayong Kingdom is stable and prosperous, and it is no more important than the Wucheng Kingdom to protect itself by force." ”
"You...!" Si Yan choked angrily, this slut was belittling Wuchengguo all the time.
Peng Mo is like this, the kindness on the face is always just the kindness on the face, if someone dares to offend her, she will use practical means to make the other party understand some truth!
King Ming and King Wu saw that the Imperial Forest Army was on board, and they knew that this reception banquet was completely impossible, so they stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, since there is an accident at the banquet, Xiao Wang and the others will leave first." ”
Although Siyan had the intention to stay and watch the excitement, this banquet was called the Reception Banquet, and the envoys of Nanyan State had already said goodbye, if she stayed, the emperor was only afraid that he would suspect her of ill intentions, so he could only regret getting up and saying goodbye.
Naturally, the emperor did not disagree, said some kind words, and sent the person away.
When the outsiders left, the emperor's face sank completely.
In the side hall, the imperial doctor came out and replied: "Emperor Qi, His Royal Highness King Zhe has been poisoned, but fortunately, the amount of food is very small, so as not to hurt his life, Weichen has given His Royal Highness King Zhe a drug to take the antidote." As he spoke, he came to King Zhe's seat, and after the silver needle tested the poison, it was determined that a steamed fish had been poisoned.
The emperor looked at the fish and snorted coldly: "Check!" The word emperor, thousands of people moved.
King Qu frowned deeply, how could he not worry about his life? It was a pity! But it was not bad to be able to take advantage of this plan to bring down King Ning!
After Peng Mo heard the news, he exhaled without a trace, and only hoped that Jin Zhe would have a blessing after he died.
The people in the imperial dining room were soon "invited" by the Imperial Forest Army, and the emperor walked down and asked in a cold voice: "Say, who poisoned it!"
Sun Yao, the head of the imperial dining room, listened to the emperor's voice, knelt down as soon as his knees weakened, and said in fear: "Emperor Mingjian, give the slaves a hundred dares and dare not poison His Royal Highness King Zhe!"
"Who made King Zhe's steamed fish?" The emperor's eyes were sharp, cutting through people's hearts.
Sun Yao's mind turned quickly, but the affairs prepared for the palace banquet were very cumbersome, he still couldn't think of who did the steamed fish, and was about to confess when he saw a little eunuch in the imperial dining room quickly break free from the control of the imperial forest army and run out of the palace.
Before he could run a few steps away, he was stabbed in the leg by a spear thrown by the Royal Foresters, and he collapsed to the ground for a while, bleeding profusely.
The emperor trembled with anger, and shouted: "Bring it up!" A little eunuch dares to poison the prince, it is simply lawless!
The little eunuch was picked up by the Imperial Forest Army and thrown to the ground, the severe pain made him cry out, he glanced at the Qu King of Zhilan Yushu behind the emperor, gritted his teeth, and shouted: "Yes... It was the king of Qu who instructed the minions, and the emperor knew it. ”
There was an uproar in the hall, and all eyes were shot at the ignorant King Qu.
King Qu was stunned, what was going on? Didn't the little eunuch accuse King Ning at this time? Why did he turn against the water on the spot and bite him out? What happened in this?
The emperor turned to look at King Qu coldly, with grief in his eyes, and scolded with hatred: "Rebel, what else do you have to say!"
Cannibalism, this fratricidal drama actually happened to his sons!
King Qu suddenly came back to his senses, didn't care about the little eunuch's sudden defection, let alone wiped the cold sweat on his head, knelt on the ground and said in a panic, "Father, the son is wronged, it's this Diao slave who is biting indiscriminately, Father Mingjian!"
"Uh" screamed in pain, and I saw the little eunuch who escaped foaming at the mouth and twitching, and swallowed his breath in the blink of an eye.
When King Qu saw it, he was relieved, as soon as this person died, there was no proof of death!
looked up at the angry emperor, and said stubbornly: "Father, the son is wronged, and I ask the father to find out the real murderer and return the son to innocence!"
King Ning on one side looked at King Qu's situation with low eyebrows, and pulled his lips coldly, this scene of the plan ended perfectly!
Peng Mo frowned and looked at Gu Lingyu in the crowd, just afraid that King Qu would never think that it was his most trusted henchman who betrayed him!
Gu Xiang and Gu Qian didn't expect things to develop like this, and just as they were about to step forward to exonerate King Qu, they heard the emperor say coldly: "Press King Qu into the prison." After speaking, he didn't care about the guests in the hall, and left with his sleeves.
In the side hall, the queen pulled Jin Roujia to the outside room and said, "It's late at night, go back and rest." ”
"The queen mother also rested early. Jin Roujia nodded and retreated with the maid.
The queen glanced at the people on the bed, frowned, and said, "Where is the emperor?"
Xia Jin replied respectfully: "Back to the queen's mother, the emperor is in the Qinzheng Palace, Gu Xiang and Gu Shangshu ask to see him." ”
After hearing this, the queen paused, and snorted coldly: "Let's go, go to the Qinzheng Palace!" How can I say that this Jin Zhe was also raised under her knees, Duan was not so poisoned, but she shrank her head!
Xia Jin and other palace maids were busy keeping up with the queen's footsteps.
The side hall was quiet, and only a few imperial doctors outside were still staying, but they didn't dare to make a loud noise, just whispered quietly.
Jin Zhe opened his eyes, his eyes rolled, there was no one in front of him, but the corners of his mouth were hooked, and he raised his hand to look at the plain silver sapphire ring on his index finger, only to see that the originally smooth ring ring on the inside was black at this time.
During the banquet, when he was serving the wine glass, his fingers accidentally touched the steamed fish on the plate, he didn't care at the time, but then found that the ring was black, he was shocked, and looked at the guests in the hall without a trace, who was going to poison him?
He thought that if he shouted about this matter, not only would he not find the murderer, but he would also be told by the emperor that he didn't know the general situation, so he would plan it, dip a little fish soup with chopsticks, and do these scenes, in order to force the emperor to find out the real murderer in front of the envoys and officials!
Chengenhou Mansion
Wei Yingran stood in the courtyard, looking at the white moon in the sky, his eyes as cold as the moonlight.
Suddenly, a black shadow floated into the courtyard, landed behind Wei Yingran, and knelt down on one knee and said, "Lord Wang, my subordinates are ordered by Lord Siyan to come to protect the safety of the prince." ”
Wei Yingran turned around, looked at the black shadow, and said, "Can you find out Ping'an's whereabouts?"
"It's being investigated, but there are no clues yet. ”
"I see, stand down. Wei Yingran waved his hand, and when the black shadow retreated, he sat on the stone chair a little tiredly, his knobby fingers clenched tightly.
