The crown prince Lin Ying hurriedly ran to his father who fell on the jade steps. Lin Ying saw that her father was still vomiting blood in his mouth, so she hurriedly picked him up and let him lie in her arms, wiping the blood from the corners of her father's mouth with the sleeves of her gorgeous clothes, and called out in a daze: "Father...... Father...... Daddy......"

At this time, Prime Minister Dongfang Yu knelt under the jade steps and said to Lin Ying: "Prince, His Royal Highness...... It seems to be highly poisoned. ”

Lin Ying shouted, "Go and get a doctor!" Come on! ”

In front of the Qianqiu Palace, everyone looked at each other, the prince's relatives, the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military, it seems that no one knows how to use medical skills. Even if someone understands, in the face of this strange killing situation, no one dares to step forward and become the target of public criticism. And before this grand ceremony of reopening Zhaohuang, the seven kings of Chu only drafted the candidates for the three princes and nine kings, and did not reopen the Tai Hospital.

Seeing this, Shu'er immediately turned around and asked Mo Yutan: "Xiao Mo, you have been taught by the master of Xuanji Lonely Island, can you understand medical skills?" ”

Mo Yutan nodded slightly.

Shu'er pulled Mo Yutan in front of Lin Ying and said, "Xiao Mo understands medical skills, let him diagnose and treat him first!" ”

When the archers saw a woman pulling a young man to the king of Chu without authorization, they all pulled up their bows, only to hear Prime Minister Dongfang Yu say: "Don't let go of arrows!" It's a courtier's daughter and a little doctor! Then the archers let go of their bows.

Seeing that the archers did not dare to move, Queen Su Qin also ran to her husband who was lying in the prince's arms. Although Dongfang Yu did not speak, the archers recognized that it was the mother of the crown prince, the queen of Chu, so no one drew the bow.

Mo Yutan sat on the jade steps, and was about to check Lin Lang's pulse, only to see Lin Lang exert all his strength, raise his hand, and tremblingly point to Dongfang Yu, who was kneeling half a step away from him.

Dongfang Yu frowned and looked directly at Lin Lang.

Lin Lang vomited out a mouthful of blood again, still pointing at Dongfang Yu, his voice was extremely weak, only Lin Ying, Su Qin, Shu'er, Mo Yutan and Dongfang Yu heard it word for word: "Dongfang Yu, I have believed in you for more than 20 years...... You ......"

You first let down my little sister Lin Long's twenty-year youth, let her give birth to children for you, and grounded the Song Palace to do fine work, and now, you have betrayed my twenty-year trust in you, secretly plotting for my throne and taking away my country!

A sentence was stuck in his chest, but Lin Lang never had the strength to say it. The hand pointing at Dongfang Yu fell heavily on the jade steps and could no longer be raised.

Mo Yutan no longer needs to take Lin Lang's pulse, just probe the pulse of his neck, and he will know that there is no solution to the poison.

King Sheng finally failed to wear a dragon robe to set foot in the Qianqiu Palace, and failed to sit on the dragon chair of Zhaohuang Palace.

Mo said to Lin Ying: "His Royal Highness has been poisoned to death, even if the head of the Medicine King Mountain Xue is here, he has no power to return to the sky. ”

It was too late, it was fast, and when everyone was at a loss, Dongfang Yu had already picked up the jade seal that had fallen in front of him, got up and said: "Minister Dongfang Yu is trusted by His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness entrusts the jade seal of the country to the minister, and the minister will live up to His Highness's trust!" ”

Lin Ying looked at Dongfang Yu in a daze, and before she came back to her senses, she heard her mother Su Qin shouting angrily: "Dongfang Yu! You traitor and thief! You plotted to kill His Royal Highness and want to usurp the throne of the King of Chu! You have already laid down the archers, and when Your Highness dies violently, you will shoot my mother and son, and you will never suffer again! Even if your treacherous plan succeeds, the mouth of the world will avenge my mother and son! ”

Lin Ying hurriedly got up to protect her mother and said to Su Qin: "Mother, this matter is strange, don't jump to conclusions!" ”

Shu'er was stunned for a moment, then stood in front of Lin Ying and Su Qin, and said to Dongfang Yu: "Daddy......" The voice did not fall, and only listened to Dongfang Yu said: "The queen is angry, what the prince said is the minister's defense." He has inherited His Royal Highness's kindness for more than 20 years, and married His Royal Highness's sister and had children. In public and private, the ministers will not act against His Highness. The matter ...... The other six kings are the most inescapable! ”

Su Qin was speechless, but inexplicably identified Dongfang Yu as the culprit who murdered her husband. Even if the other six kings were involved, only Dongfang Yu, who was deeply trusted by her husband, had a chance to kill her.

Dongfang Yu raised his voice and said, "Someone! Arrest the Six Kings and their relatives now! ”

In the former Shengwang Mansion soldiers, now the Zhaohuang Chu Palace guards are arrested, the oldest king Lin Rui said angrily: "Bold Oriental traitor!" Obviously, you plotted to kill the Lord and wanted to usurp the throne, but you dared to blame our six kings! I curse you with a thousand knives, and you will not die well! ”

Dongfang Yu looked at King Li coldly, and his tone was solemn: "Lord Wang, I, Dongfang Yu I, am innocent, loyal to King Sheng, loyal to Chu State, worthy of heaven and earth." If Dongfang Yu can't find the real murderer of King Sheng in this life, he should put the curse you said, 'A thousand knives will not kill well'! ”

Just when the six kings of Chu and their families were tied hand and foot by the guards, among the civil and military officials in front of the Qianqiu Palace, a man dressed as a Song State suddenly walked up, in his early fifties, with deep eyes. The Song people looked at Dongfang Yu, who was holding the jade seal of the Chu Kingdom, and suddenly felt that this white-clothed prime minister was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where they had seen it.

This Song man was ordered by Liu to send a fast horse to the prime minister of the Song State of Chu, Ling Mo. Time has passed, how could he recognize that this Dongfang Yu, the first strategist of the Chu State, is the musician Fang Yu of the Chu State that he had seen in his house fourteen years ago? The musician of the Chu State was the one he sent to Chu to find and teach the Song King to know the folk ancient scores of the Zhou Dynasty, so before the musician entered the Song Palace, he must have seen it in person.

The prime ministers of the two countries looked at each other, and Dongfang Yu saluted first: "Your Excellency is the Prime Minister of Song Guoling?" ”

Ling Mo also saluted Dongfang Yu, but made a bigger salute. Ling Mo said: "In Xia Lingmo, I am specially ordered by the King of Song to come to Linjiang to congratulate the unification of the Chu State and the enthronement of the King of Chu." ”

Dongfang Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at Ling Mo, knowing that the Song envoy was not good.

Before Ling Mo left, he got Liu Yi's charter to "adapt to the situation". Liu expected that the seven kings of Chu would not gather together, and this time King Sheng ascended the throne of Chu, fearing that something would happen, so he ordered the prime minister to rush to Chu day and night, and dispatched 100,000 troops from the eastern border of the Song State to help King Sheng ascend the throne smoothly, so as to continue the century-old alliance between Song and Chu. But Liu didn't expect it, and Ling Mo didn't expect it, that King Sheng would die violently in front of the Qianqiu Hall of Chu Palace when he ascended the throne.

Ling Mo had no choice but to improvise.

According to what Liu said, if you want to continue the century-old alliance between Song and Chu and arrive at Chen Shu Qiwei, the new king of Chu must be a member of King Sheng's mansion in order to be foolproof. Ling Mo didn't know who in King Sheng's mansion had a holiday with the allied forces of Chen Shu and Qi Wei, but when he thought about it, when the Qi army detoured through Chu to enter the Song Kingdom, only the Sheng Wangjun sent troops to obstruct it, although the Sheng Wangjun lost the battle and let the Qi army enter the Song State, it was better than the other six kings of Chu State, allowing the Qi army to run rampant in Chu Realm.

So he began to weigh who should be the new king after the 100,000 Song soldiers in Chu Realm? Is it King Sheng's only son, the justifiable prince Lin Ying, or ...... King Sheng's most trusted and relied on military advisor and strategist during his lifetime, Dongfang Yu? Lin Ying and Dongfang Yu are both from King Sheng's mansion, and it stands to reason that whoever Ling Mo decides to support at this moment will not go against Liu's will, but he thought about it and suddenly had a plan.

Only by supporting Dongfang Yu, who is not rightly named and unruly, as the new king of Chu, can this new king of Chu obediently obey the orders of the Song State. Otherwise, he will be attacked on his back!

Dongfang Yu turned to Lin Ying and said, "Since His Royal Highness has encountered an accident, the throne of the king of Chu will be ...... by the crown prince."

Ling Mo interrupted: "Lord Dongfang, I am an outsider, and I watched coldly, but I saw another clue. Since before the throne of the ancient dragon chair, there have been many people who kill brothers and fathers. Since the death of King Sheng, the other six kings of Chu State cannot get rid of it, so why does Lord Dongfang think that the prince of Chu must be innocent? ”

Dongfang Yu frowned and said, "Ling Xiang, the crown prince is the only son of His Royal Highness. Their father-son relationship is obvious to all in Chu. Sooner or later, the throne of Chu will be owned by the crown prince alone, so why did he kill his father? ”

The corners of Ling Mo's mouth curved, and he asked rhetorically: "Is the father-son relationship between King Sheng and the crown prince the same as sending the prince to the Chen Kingdom for eleven years?" Besides, King Sheng is in his prime, and after ascending the throne, won't he accept the harem? No resonance? Even if he doesn't accept the harem and doesn't have children, then in the past eleven years, does King Sheng really have no other children? Could it be that the crown prince knows something......

Dongfang Yu said angrily: "Ling Xiang, don't talk nonsense! ”

Ling Mo ignored Dongfang Yu and said to himself: "On the west bank of Chu Shui, there are 100,000 Song troops stationed and they do not send troops, the reason is that the Song State is willing to renew the century-old alliance with the Chu State. But the premise is that the new monarch of Chu must be a credible person. ”

Lin Ying clenched her fists and thought, "Song Wang Liu, I have already seen that you are scheming. You have fallen into such a trap and deceived the people with evil words, did you secretly send someone to murder my father? ”

Dongfang Yu's eyes were cold and murderous, but he couldn't stop Ling Mo's words: "King Sheng died violently, and the prince of Chu is also suspicious." Ling Mo suddenly made a big salute to Dongfang Yu and said, "Dongfang is both humanistic and martial, loyal, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness. The Song State is willing to use 100,000 troops west of Chu Water to support the East Lord as the king of Chu. Since then, the state of Chu has changed its surname to the East. ”
