Chapter 255: Oiran is poisoned
Xuan Ling nodded.
"I just have this consideration, okay, then let's think about deposing the crown prince first and letting him vacate the position of the East Palace, how about it?"
The three ministers looked at each other, but they were silent, obviously not approving.
Xuan Ling suddenly remembered something, and said: "There is another person I almost forgot, Zhao Dongping, you go to check, whether the death of King Sui has anything to do with Yu Ming!" β
Yu Ming is Captain Gao.
Prince Dongping nodded hurriedly, and Taiwei Gao was embarrassed with the prince, and he was also lost home.
A cold light flashed in Xuan Ling's eyes.
"The death of King Sui, it is difficult to escape the blame, Dali Temple is now you take over first, you must find out clearly, don't wronged a good person, and don't let go of a bad person!"
Prince Dongping said cautiously: "Lord Taiwei is old, I'm afraid I can't bear to be detained, right?" β
Xuan Ling rolled his eyes.
"I told you to check on him, not to arrest him!"
"Yes, yesβ"
Prince Dongping agreed, but he was uncertain about Xuan Ling's intentions in his heart.
Lin Chengyong was quite disdainful of Taiwei Gao's performance that day, and he guessed that the emperor was suspicious of Taiwei Gao's bag, and gave him a serious warning, and checked him to make him sober up.
Ouyang Mu was bold enough to go further.
"Your Majesty, you just proposed to His Royal Highness King Xin, this abolition of the long and young, it is unreasonable, and there are many princes above King Xin, such as the third prince King Hui."
The appearance of the third prince Zhaokai is ugly among the princes, Xuan Ling frowned.
"Lian said, it's just a consideration."
Seeing Xuan Ling take a step back, Ouyang Mu was a little relieved.
Lin Chenyong hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, even if you like His Royal Highness, all the princes must also carefully investigate, after all, the prince can't only be loyal and brave." β
Xuan Ling nodded.
"This is natural, I'm not a faint king!"
"Your Majesty, do you want to send someone to inspect King Xin recently?"
Xuan Ling glanced at Prince Dongping.
"Think about it again."
The three of them should be together, and Xuan Ling said again: "Wait for me to go to the Xinwang Mansion to see if his injuries are better, and this matter will be discussed in fifteen years!" β
The three ministers bowed together.
"Your Majesty is wise."
At this time, Huang Jien came in to report.
"Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Zou Xiaoyuan asks to see you."
Xuan Ling looked at the three ministers.
"Okay, it's here, the three Aiqing will go back first."
Ouyang Mu and Prince Dongping knelt down, Lin Chengyong also knelt, and Xuan Ling hurriedly supported him.
"Lord Lin, Tingting died for me to block the arrow, her loyalty can be seen, I decided to bury her with the gift of a concubine, and the whole country mourned for three days!"
Lin Chengyong's nose twitched a few times, two lines of tears flowed, and he choked up: "Thank you, thank you for your grace, Ting'er She knows under the spring, she should be grateful!" β
Xuan Ling patted Lin Chengyong's shoulder, everything was silent.
When the three ministers left, Xuan Ling went to change his clothes first, and he asked Huang Jien to clean up the Spring Pavilion first, and then invited Zou Xiaoyuan to come in.
Huang Jien picked up two torn folds on the ground, these two folds, one was written by Su Sheng's "On Defending War Strategies", and the other was a secret fold written by Taiwei Gao, Huang Jien picked it up and glanced at it inadvertently, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
This is a secret report of Zhao Huawen, saying that he married a Dongying woman about 20 years ago, the woman's nickname is Xiangzi, she died mysteriously just after she was pregnant, and Gao Taiwei said that he was willing to open the coffin for the emperor to conduct an autopsy and find out the truth.
Huang Jien tore the secret book to shreds, Taiwei Gao is really old and confused, and he dares to take out such a secret old account and turn it over, he is really looking for death, no wonder the emperor wanted Prince Dongping to beat him hard just now, but Ouyang Mu is not competent now, and Xuan Ling is very dissatisfied with him.
Gao Taiwei didn't let him accompany him in the past few days, and felt that he was about to fall out of favor, so he wrote such a report, which backfired.
Xuan Ling came back from changing clothes, and Huang Jien also brought Zou Xiaoyuan to push the door in.
Zou Xiaoyuan stepped forward to pay respects.
Xuan Ling said with concern: "The old imperial doctor is exempt, I ask you, how is King Xin's injury?" β
Zou Xiaoyuan smiled and said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, His Royal Highness King Xin is fine, the position of this arrow is an inch above the sword protrusion of the sternal handle, it is really a blessing and a great life, he will be raised for ten days and a half months." β
In fact, Zhao Zhen's recovery was faster than Zou Xiaoyuan expected, and he still ran out in the past few days, Zhao Zhen asked Zou Xiaoyuan to keep it secret for him and not to tell his father.
Xuan Ling let out a sigh of relief and asked again, "What about the Twenty Princes?" β
Zou Xiaoyuan said: "Those traitors killed people in front of the twenty princes, His Royal Highness the Righteous King was overly frightened, and now he trembles when he sees people, I am afraid that it will leave a shadow in his heart." β
Xuan Ling was so angry that his teeth itched.
"These two women are too vicious, why am I blind, and the throne of the righteous king is not sealed by me, and I still want to cancel this title?"
"Your Majesty, the Twenty Emperor is not at fault."
"Yes, I know, I don't blame him, by the way, what about that woman?"
Zou Xiaoyuan knew that Xuan Ling was asking Concubine Yuan, and hurriedly said: "That woman now has to take an immortal pill every day, she herself has no medicine, the minister's immortal pill was steamed by Xiao Huakui before, once the medicine is stopped, she will have a seizure and die!" β
Xuan Ling said coldly: "Then let her have a seizure!" β
Zou Xiaoyuan said: "Your Majesty, if you want to refine the antidote to the Ascending Immortal Pill, you must test her!" β
"Why do you have to refine the antidote?"
"This is what the little Oiran asked the minister, and since the minister agreed, he had to do his best."
Xuan Ling nodded.
"Since it's the little Oiran who asked you, then the old gentleman will do his best."
"Yes, the old minister will do his best to refine the antidote."
Xuan Ling's face showed cruelty again.
"Okay, when do you find the antidote, when will she be able to stop the medicine!"
Zou Xiaoyuan shuddered, this is to revive a dying person, and then kill her, it is more cruel than killing her directly.
Xuan Ling waved his hand, stood up and said to Huang Jien: "I will go to the Xinwang Mansion with Old Imperial Doctor Zou, and you will arrange the Imperial Palace." β
Huang Jien was about to go out, but Zou Xiaoyuan hurriedly bowed down and said, "Wait, the old minister has another request, asking for treatment for the little oiran." β
Xuan Ling was a little strange.
"The little Oiran is injured on her head, she needs to recuperate and recover, the old gentleman is good at healing and detoxifying, this is not what Mr. is good at, why do you say this?"
The imperial doctor who treated Yue'er told Xuan Ling, saying that she was shocked by her heart, and whether she could wake up depends on chance, and the worst may be that she will never wake up again, and Xuan Ling's anxiety is also because of this.
"The old minister listened to Imperial Doctor Huang describe the symptoms of the little Oiran, saying that she had been sleeping and not waking up, and she was still hot and cold, and the minister suspected that the little Oiran was not only shocked by her heart, but also poisoned!"
Xuan Ling was taken aback.
"Poisoning, how is it possible?"
"Yes, the little Oiran was shocked by the bell, her body collapsed, and she has lost her resistance, if she has touched any poison, it is also possible that it will spread from the skin and become poisoned, and the old minister feels that the poison in the little Oiran is similar to the emperor before."
Xuan Ling sighed.
"I remembered, that woman had poisonous claws on her hands, and the claws were poisonous, and although the little Oiran was not scratched when she caught her, she was contaminated, it must be so!"
"In this case, then Your Majesty will let the old minister treat the little Oiran, right?"
Xuan Ling looked grateful.
"Thank you Old Imperial Doctor Zou for reminding me, I care about it, okay, the little Oiran is also handed over to you, please do it immediately, no matter how much it costs, you must save her!"
"Yes, since Your Majesty said so, the minister dared to mention a felon, and she might be able to help unravel the poison on the little Oiran!"
"What felon, who is it?"
Xuan Ling looked suspicious, if Zou Xiaoyuan wanted to take away the concubine or the queen, then he couldn't agree.
"It's the fake Bi Qianyu captured by Lord Lin, she once assassinated the emperor, it was a capital crime, and the minister knew that she was also controlled by the Ascending Immortal Pill, but she didn't die after the attack, she was just dying, this is a miracle, so this repeat offender is used to refine the antidote!"
"Okay, I'm right, as long as I can save my little Oiran, everything is up to you, it's just that Lord Lin said that after the fake Bi Qianyu was arrested, he didn't say a word, no matter how he tortured him, are you sure that she will open her mouth to you?"
Zou Xiaoyuan nodded.
"It's man-made, and the minister is trying his best to find a way!"
"Okay, then you go, I'll go to the palace alone!"
"Your Majesty, the old minister has one more request-"
Xuan Ling was a little speechless, this Zou Xiaoyuan was really old, and his speech was separated one by one, which made him sound very uncomfortable, but considering that he was old, Xuan Ling still said gently: "The old gentleman has something to say together, don't be so sloppy." β
