Chapter 219: Poisoning
Pomegranate poked her head out and watched the boats coming and going on the river, excited.
"Miss, this place is good, if you encounter danger, you can jump into the river and escape."
Su Muling liked the optimism and cheerfulness of the pomegranate, and she followed Wei Huai'an to see the other rooms. Although this yard is not big, it is neatly cleaned up, which makes people feel good at first sight.
"Pomegranate, you and Xichun went to a restaurant to set a table of wine and food to deliver, the joy of housewarming, we want to have a good meal."
Su Muling took out a silver ticket from his purse and handed it to Pomegranate, but was stopped by Wei Huai'an: "The meal has been set, and it will be delivered at three o'clock." You can go around the neighborhood, there are clothes and fabrics two streets ahead, we don't have many things with us, you can go and add some clothes. ”
Pomegranate and Xichun went out with the silver. Su Muling sat in front of the window with his hands on his waist. Although he had recovered a lot of vitality after eating blood ginseng for more than ten days, it was an internal injury, coupled with the fact that he had been nervous and running for several days, Su Muling's body couldn't bear it.
Su Muling lived in Tiangu Town in this way, reading books, playing chess, chatting, and eating every day. When Wei Huai'an is in a good mood, she will hire a pleasure boat to take her on the boat for a day, and the boat will sail slowly in the water, walking all over the streets and alleys of Tiangu Town.
Su Muling and Wei Huai'an lived quietly and peacefully in Tiangu Town, but there was a commotion in the palace of the capital. Because the fifth prince Xiao Jingran had an accident.
The maternal ancestor of the fifth prince, Shi Qingyuan, was a temple of Taifu Temple, and later resigned at home due to poor health. The biological mother of the fifth prince was born to a concubine with a low status, and the concubine was withdrawn and did not like the emperor, and even with the five princes, she was often despised by several princes. Not long ago, An Concubine died due to ineffective medical treatment, and the fifth prince also became a motherless child.
On the second day after the Anping delegation left the capital, it happened to be the day when the grandson of the five princes, Nian Feng, got married, and the five princes came to congratulate the emperor on behalf of the emperor.
The five princes, who hadn't seen their mother's family for a long time, couldn't help but look at things and think of people, and thought of their mother's relatives and concubines. So he borrowed wine to drown his sorrows, and unconsciously drank too much.
The fifth prince is the prince in the end, and he was afraid that he would lose his father's face because of his gaffe, so he came to the garden alone to enjoy the flowers and relieve the hangover. But the flowers didn't reward a few, but they were knocked unconscious by someone covering their heads and mouths and kidnapped out of the New Year's Mansion.
When the five princes woke up, they were already in a remote alley, a masked man threw him on the ground, and beat him wildly. The Five Emperors knew that the comer was not good, and tried their best to escape, but in the end, they were weak and weak, and they were beaten all over the body by that person, and finally collapsed to the ground, and had no power to fight back.
The miserable screams of the five princes attracted pedestrians on the road, and the man kicked the five princes and knocked them out into the darkness. When the five emperors were sent back to the palace, they were already unconscious, and the imperial doctor examined him and came to the emperor: "Your Majesty, how long are the hand bones, leg bones, and ribs of the five princes broken, and there are still a few knife wounds." If you don't have three or two months, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out of bed. ”
The emperor was furious, although he paid less attention to the five princes on weekdays, it did not mean that he could be trampled on.
Since the death of the fifth prince's biological mother, Concubine An, the motherless child has grown up a lot. was broken by the masked man and stabbed in several places, and the fifth prince actually gritted his teeth and persevered until the rescue arrived.
The emperor looked at his son who was covered in gauze on the bed, gritted his teeth and asked, "Who did it?" ”
Imperial Physician Xu, who had just finished bandaging the wounds of the five princes, lowered his body and presented something to the emperor.
The emperor took it with a dark face, and looked angry.
"Let the prince go to the Qianqing Palace immediately."
After speaking, the emperor threw off his sleeves and left.
The emperor was furious, and Gonggong An didn't dare to come forward to speak, so he could only order someone to hurry up and invite the prince.
Xiao Wenxuan was listening to Wuying's report in the East Palace:
“…… The subordinates followed the mission all the way to the Peace Station, but could not find any trace of Miss Su. The subordinates believe that Miss Su should still be in the capital. ”
Kneeling on the ground without a shadow, Xiao Wenxuan's sharp eyes swept over his face, and asked with a gloomy face:
"No trace? So where is the phoenix hairpin you have been carrying? ”
Shadowless stiffened and slowly raised his head.
Xiao Wenxuan stared at him with a pair of eyes, his eyes did not have the affection of the past, only coldness and majesty.
The prince sent someone to spy on him? Shadowless's heart suddenly shuddered. He has been with Xiao Wenxuan for more than ten years, and he has walked together in life and death, but now Xiao Wenxuan doesn't trust him to send someone to monitor his every move?
Wuying slowly lowered his head again, and his tone was extremely gloomy.
"Now that the prince knows, his subordinates are willing to receive the prince's punishment."
"Shadowless, even you betrayed me...... I'm chilled. ”
"Prince, my subordinates can't bear to let the prince and Miss Su lose their last bit of affection by the prince's willfulness......"
"Shut up. Whoever comes, take the shadowless down and punish him with eighty rods. cut off his official position and drove him out of the capital. ”
Xiao Wenxuan had a strange look in his eyes, shouted, turned around, and stopped looking at him.
Wuying was taken away by the guards of the East Palace, and after a while, Gonggong An's people followed in.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Prince, the emperor is waiting for the prince in the Qianqing Palace."
"What is my father looking for me?" Xiao Wenxuan asked.
"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the slave doesn't know."
Xiao Wenxuan didn't ask any more questions, and strode towards the Qianqing Palace.
In the Qianqing Palace, the emperor drove all the people in the palace out, looked at Xiao Wenxuan, who was kneeling down, and spoke for a long time.
"Youan, why are you doing this? You already have the position of crown prince, and you have all the trust I have in you. In order to make up for my debt to you, I have promised you that after this year, I will give you this seat under me. At that time, you will be the most honorable person in the world, with supreme power and dignity. You already have so much, why are you still not satisfied, and you still have to attack Xiao Wu? ”
The emperor stared at Xiao Wenxuan, and the air around him froze because of the emperor's anger.
Xiao Wenxuan was questioned by the emperor for a while, he thought that the emperor called him because he sent someone to follow the Anping mission, but the emperor was not on the same channel as him at all.
Xiao Wenxuan was stunned: "Father, what's wrong with me?" I have almost no history with the Fifth Prince, so how can I do anything to him? ”
"Are you still quibbling?"
The emperor picked up a sign from the table and threw it at Xiao Wenxuan's feet.
His fingers trembled and pointed at Xiao Wenxuan, and his words were all in a trembling voice: "Look at it...... See for yourself, this is what Xiao Wu pulled from the assassin...... It's the waist card of your East Palace guard...... You still don't admit it? ”
Xiao Wenxuan picked up the sign on the ground and glanced at it, and then asked, "Someone assassinated the Five Princes?" ”
The calmness of his tone made the emperor smoke.
"You ask me? What else do I want to ask you? You want to get rid of Little Five today, will it be Little Six tomorrow? Who should be the next child? ”
The emperor was furious, he allowed Xiao Wenxuan to be willful for the sake of a woman, but he couldn't tolerate Xiao Wenxuan killing his son.
Xiao Wenxuan looked at the corner of the emperor's mouth and a sneer: "Father suspects that I sent someone to do it?" ”
"The evidence is ironclad, I can't help but believe it." The emperor stared at the waist card in his hand, and did not hide the disappointment in his eyes.
After a long time, Xiao Wenxuan retracted his gaze: "My father doesn't believe me, and You'an can't." But it's not what You'an did, and You'an won't admit it. ”
"Don't admit it, do you? Okay, come on, from now on, all the guards of the East Palace, including the crown prince, are not allowed to leave the East Palace for half a step without my permission. Wait for the five princes to wake up and let the five princes identify them one by one. "I don't believe I can't find the murderer.
The emperor's holy order made Xiao Wenxuan feel cold. He silently stood up from the ground, gave the emperor a deep blow, and turned away.
On the same day, the five princes woke up. The emperor sent forbidden troops to surround the residence of the five princes. The two doctors of the Tai Hospital stayed by his side every inch.
The emperor went up to see it once, asked someone to send some supplements, and asked the imperial doctor about the condition of the five princes, and only after knowing that the five princes were not worried about their lives, they went back with confidence.
For dinner, the emperor placed it in the Qianqing Palace as usual. Gonggong An knew that the emperor was in a bad mood, so he specially put the appetizing dishes and the emperor's favorite dishes in front of him.
"Your Majesty, this Erlong Playing Pearls is your favorite food on weekdays, can you taste it?"
When such a thing happened, the emperor didn't have much appetite, but he couldn't go hungry and review the folds if he didn't have a taste. The emperor nodded reluctantly.
got the emperor's consent, and Father-in-law An hurriedly gave the little eunuch who was tasting the food on the side, and the little eunuch took a small plate and put it in his mouth.
After a while, seeing that the little eunuch was fine, Gonggong An picked up the plate and handed it to the emperor.
"The emperor eats more, these days the emperor is reviewing and reading day and night, and he is a little thin,"
As he spoke, he sandwiched some to the emperor and put them in the bowl in front of the emperor.
The emperor sighed, picked it up and was just about to put it in his mouth, when suddenly there was a "poof", and the little eunuch who had just tasted the food rolled his eyes and spat blood and fell to the ground.
