Chapter 2: The Poisoning of the Three Princes
The night was slightly cool, and the dark night sky was full of dark clouds, as if the boundless thick ink was heavily smeared on the sky, and even the last trace of moonlight was blocked, as if to indicate that a violent storm was coming...
The palace located in the center of the imperial capital, revealing a glazed tile roof, like a golden island, is particularly conspicuous in the dark night, prosperous and prosperous, here should be singing and dancing, singing and feasting, but at this time it is a panic.
In the Mingguang Palace, on the throne of the golden lacquer carved dragon, there is a king who looks down on the world, it is the supreme ruler of the Purple Cloud Empire, Emperor Sikong, a kind of momentum that is not angry and self-righteous makes everyone dare not raise their heads. It seems that a sentence can determine the life and death of all people, and every gesture reveals the domineering spirit of the king.
At this moment, this mighty and extraordinary emperor was furious! The entire palace was trembling.
"Bang!"
One palm smashed a stone sculpture in the hall into powder, which shows how angry his heart is, and it also shows that his skill is even more extraordinary. Everyone in the hall was silent.
"Qi Qi Sheng, the thirty imperial doctors of the Tai Hospital have done their best to treat the three princes, and the servants have conveyed the will of the Holy Lord to them, what three long and two short things the three princes want, they will punish the nine clans!" said a eunuch waiting for the emperor. He was afraid that the matter of the three princes would affect Yuchi, and the emperor would be angry with them, and the power of heaven was unpredictable, so he couldn't help but be afraid.
These three princes, Sikong Ling, is one of the emperor's nine children, and is also the emperor's favorite prince, who likes to travel the world and is smart and clever. If nothing else, it will be the imperial crown prince, the next heir to the throne.
But there are unforeseen circumstances, but Sikong Ling, who is the most favored by the Holy Grace, suddenly fainted to the ground after dinner tonight, unconscious, according to the diagnosis of the imperial doctor, he should have been poisoned.
But fortunately, the poison has not yet entered the heart, and his life should be safe, but he doesn't know when he will wake up. But this was enough for Long Yan to be furious countless times.
"The source of the poisoning of the three princes can be seen, what is the wrong link?" asked Emperor Sikong towards a gray-clothed eunuch.
"Qi Qi Sheng, just now Weichen has checked all the food and drink of His Royal Highness the Three Princes, and found that the sturgeon eaten by the Three Princes is poisonous. The gray-clothed eunuch said tremblingly.
"What? Who would dare to poison the food of the Three Princes? Who would dare to be so bold? Do you know where the sturgeon came from?" asked Emperor Sikong in surprise.
In Emperor Sikong's opinion, unless he has eaten the gall of the bear's heart and leopard, he will never dare to harm the three princes, even those super forces will not casually hurt the people of the Sikong family, and the empire is also supported by super forces, how can those big forces not know it.
"Back to the emperor, according to investigation, that batch of poisonous sturgeon came from a businessman in the imperial capital, the first year of Chu! His family has been in business for generations, and the three princes love his family's sturgeon, and they have been regularly sending good fresh sturgeon to the three princes, but I didn't expect that Chu Yuannian would harbor evil intentions and dare to be unfavorable to the four princes. The gray-clothed eunuch's words were somewhat flattering.
"Hmph, just a pariah, dare to be unfavorable to the three princes, I will definitely punish him for the nine clans, so that I can relieve the hatred in my heart!" A fierce aura on Emperor Sikong's body burst out as if uncontrolled, and the surrounding ministers retreated in shock, and some people fell directly to the ground.
"Whew!"
Fortunately, this aura disappeared without a trace in just an instant, and the inadvertent aura of Emperor Sikong made everyone present tremble.
"Your Majesty, Weichen also found out that the ministers in the court actually had dealings with first-order merchants, and just today, Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials actually went to Chu Mansion in person. The gray-clothed eunuch said.
"What? Li Yucheng would actually go to a merchant Jia's house!" Emperor Sikong was quite surprised in his heart, this official Li Yucheng was a first-class official of the empire, and he rarely interacted with other officials on weekdays, why did he stoop down to have dealings with civilians? Could it be that the poisoning of the four princes this time had something to do with him!
"Come on, immediately announce that Zhou De, the commander of the forbidden army, and Li Yucheng, the secretary of the ministry, will see me!" Emperor Sikong already had a plan in his heart, that is, he would rather kill 10,000 by mistake than let go of one!
Tonight's imperial capital is destined to be unpeaceful, even the heavenly prince will not be beautiful, and it will rain heavily......
After a while, Zhou De, the commander of the forbidden army, and Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials appeared in the Mingguang Palace.
"Li Yuannian, what do you explain?" Emperor Sikong said coldly.
Li Yuannian had already heard about it on the way here. Although he had a grudge against Chu Xi's refusal to marry, he was sure that the Chu family would never intentionally harm the third prince Sikong Ling, there must be some misunderstanding in this, but the sturgeon was from the Chu family after all, and I am afraid that even if he came forward to intercede, he would not be able to save the lives of everyone in the Chu Mansion.
Li Yucheng hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible, although the identities of Weichen and Chu Yuannian are different, but Weichen's ancestors received the great favor of the Chu family, so the two families have always been world friends, and the minister knows that Chu Yuannian is a person, and it is impossible to do such a rebellious thing. ”
"As for Wei Chen's appearance in the Chu Mansion in the afternoon, it was just to marry the little girl to Chu Xidu, the son of Chu Yuannian. Minister..."
"Well, no more talking. You are the minister of the empire, I believe in your loyalty, but the safety of the third prince is more important than everything, and I want to strangle all dangerous factors in the cradle!" Li Yucheng also wanted to defend the Chu family, but was interrupted by Emperor Sikong waving his hand, and the domineering of the emperor was undoubtedly revealed.
"Alas, is that the first step to take after all?" Li Yucheng sighed inwardly.
"Zhou De, immediately lead people to kill all the people in the Chu Mansion, dare to hurt the people in my royal family, the crime is unforgivable!" Emperor Sikong said when he was angry, and the lives of the sixty-eight people in the Chu Mansion were frozen at this moment.
"Humble command!" Zhou De, the commander of the forbidden army, was dressed in military uniform, he was not very old, and he had cultivated to the peak realm of a first-class martial artist, and he was also a strong man in this imperial capital. For Emperor Sikong's orders, he has never had to carry them out unconditionally, and he has never even thought about right or wrong in his heart, and of course this time will not be an exception. He is a loyal minister, a good general, and a sharp sword for killing.
"Li Yucheng, you go with Zhou De, and you will personally supervise Zhou De's execution, remember, no one is allowed to stay alive!" Emperor Sikong did not forget to let Li Yucheng show his loyalty.
"Your Majesty, minister..."Li Yucheng knew that the Chu Mansion would be a river of blood tonight, and he couldn't save anyone in the Chu Mansion, and he was already shameless to face the people of the Chu family.
"That's it, no need to say more!" came the unquestionable voice of Emperor Sikong in the distance.
Many years later, in the imperial capital of the royal city, when the terrifying sword shadows turned the entire imperial capital into a human purgatory, Zhou De was one of the survivors.
In the future of the Purple Cloud Empire and even the entire Tianlin Continent, a young man who witnessed the slaughter of his entire family, after experiencing the most painful and painful things in the world, finally stood at the top of the Tianlin Continent and set new rules for this continent.
Of course, that's all for later.
