Chapter 281: Moving the Knife
In the face of Guan Qing's sudden questioning, everyone standing in the courtyard was a little confused for a while, they all thought that the prince was poisoned because he had taken the medicine given by Guan Qing, and now Guan Qing suddenly gave the matter of Wang Ye's poisoning to other people in the courtyard, which made people inevitably think more, so everyone was worried and scared, and there were some strangeness.
However, few people have seen Guan Qing's angry appearance, and now in such a situation, everyone dare not speak easily, only Pei Lingan hesitated slightly, and suddenly said, "What are you talking about?" Obviously, the prince took the medicine you brought to get poisonous, but now it's just that Dr. Zhu came to diagnose and treat the prince, so that the prince is out of danger, and you haven't explained anything else to us yet? Why did you rely on us people for poisoning again? ”
When Pei Ling'an said this, Minghua was also a little curious: "Why did Master Guan say this?" You said that the prince was poisoned before, or is it a chronic poison, but what evidence is there? That Dr. Zhu didn't tell us anything just now, how did this thing of fighting poison with poison come about? Besides, we have been staying here yesterday and have not seen that Dr. Zhu here, how do you explain these things? ”
Minghua's questioning made Guan Qing also fall into a short period of contemplation, and he hadn't actually figured out this matter yet. For example, did Dr. Zhu come here yesterday? If he had been here, why didn't Minghua know? If he hadn't come, why did the emperor lie to him? If he did come, but Minghua didn't know, then how did he get here? Now the guards around Jingxing are becoming more and more strict, and except for mosquitoes and flies, everything else has to be investigated. Dr. Zhu is a dignified person, how did he enter Jingxing's house unknowingly?
The matter of poison, all the explanations that Guan Qing heard were just the emperor's words, and he easily believed the emperor, but he didn't know what the truth of this matter was. So much so that now that I am here in Minghua, I can't explain it clearly for a while.
Seeing Guan Qing's sudden silence, Pei Ling'an seemed to suddenly have confidence, and said: "You have engaged in such a big battle, it turns out that you want to shirk your responsibility?" I didn't know that the dignified Prime Minister was so styled, no wonder the emperor would be so important to you, once you make any mistakes, as long as you push the matter to others, you yourself will have no responsibility, right? That's why you were able to gain a foothold in front of the emperor and gain the emperor's trust, right? ”
Pei Ling'an's courage is indeed quite big, and people who dare to contradict Guan Qing like this can hardly be found in the capital. Thinking that no one had talked to him like this for many years, Guan Qing couldn't help but feel a little strange, so he glanced at Pei Ling'an a few more times, but now it was not the time to think about these things, he looked at Minghua and said, "Are you sure you have been guarding the prince last night?" Haven't left for half a step? ”
When he asked, Minghua was a little hesitant, she seemed to think for a while before saying: "It's not that I've been staying by the prince's side, I went out when there was something during the period, but I definitely didn't leave for more than two quarters of an hour, if Dr. Zhu came, I should know." ”
Guan Qing smiled, and then said, "You should know that the prince has always appointed Dr. Zhu to treat himself. Dr. Zhu may be more familiar with the palace than you, after all, the place where you have followed the prince for the longest time is still the frontier, so if Dr. Zhu finds his way in, it is not impossible, are you right? ”
"Besides, if I want to shirk my responsibilities, I will leave early today, so why should I stay and let you trouble me? If I mess with something, I'll have to get away with it, so why should I make a fuss about it again? ”
Guan Qing's words obviously shook Minghua again, after all, what Guan Qing said was not unreasonable, Doctor Zhu did know more about the structure of the palace than Minghua, after all, things like illness were in a hurry, and if Doctor Zhu knew the shortcut in the palace, it was not impossible. Besides, the doctor in the house also said that only Dr. Zhu can make that medicine, if Dr. Zhu intends to harm the prince with Lord Guan, then why should he save the prince again?
The most strange thing is that if Master Guan really wants to harm the prince, how could he take the medicine from Dr. Zhu and hand it directly to the prince without any scruples, doesn't this mean that he wants to harm the prince? Even if there is any reason, all the people in the palace are witnesses to this matter, and Master Guan will definitely not be able to escape.
As a man who is in danger in front of the emperor, would he make such a low-level mistake? Minghua fell into deep thought.
Minghua knows that things in the palace are unpredictable, and people's hearts are unpredictable, no one can say which person is a good person and which person is a bad person, the people around the emperor are all shrewd, Minghua has always only cared about following Jingxing and protecting his safety, where will he understand the benefits and disadvantages of these open and secret battles.
Seeing that Minghua was moved, Pei Lingan was a little anxious and said: "Miss Minghua, don't listen to his nonsense, no matter what the shortcut is, when you enter the prince's room, you always have to go through the main gate, but all the gatekeepers knew yesterday that they had never seen the figure of Dr. Zhu, how did he come to the mansion?" Besides, what we have all seen about poisoning is that soon after the prince took the medicine given by Lord Guan, he suddenly became poisoned, and Lord Guan said that these were nothing more than trying to deceive people and exonerate themselves. ”
Minghua looked at Guan Qing, as if she was wondering if what Pei Ling'an said was reasonable, and after a while, she said, "If Lord Guan wants to harm the prince, then what is his purpose?" Also, if he really wants to harm the prince, why do he do it so blatantly? You know, all the people in our courtyard are witnesses, and if we all collectively correct him, he will not be able to distinguish even a hundred mouths. He obviously could choose a simpler, or more effective method, to harm the prince, but why did he use this method? It's obviously dangerous for him, huh? "China
Pei Ling'an sneered, and then said: "Actually, things are very clear now, we have always known that Lord Guan Qingguan and our prince are incompatible, and now that he has seized this opportunity, it is understandable that he wants to harm the prince." All this he did was just a cover-up, after all, the most dangerous way is also the safest way. ”
Guan Qing couldn't bear it anymore when he heard this, he said to Pei Ling'an, "What are you?" Do you dare to talk to me here? I talk to Minghua, what is the matter with you? You really think you are a person, can you be the master of this palace, right? ”
Pei Ling'an was stunned for a moment, he had recently been arrogant in the palace, and he had forgotten his identity in front of Guan Qing, and he was blocked for a while, and he didn't know how to answer.
I had to say: "As for what kind of identity I am, I don't bother with it, Lord Qingguan, you are so angry and angry now, is it not that I said something right, poking your heart?" ”
Guan Qing glanced at him coldly, the ice in his eyes made people feel terrible, and Pei Ling'an was stunned for a moment, Guan Qing continued: "In the past, I always thought that you were the grasshopper after the autumn, and I didn't bother with it, but now, I have changed my mind. ”
He sneered and said to Minghua: "This matter, to put it bluntly, I have no evidence, and calling everyone over does not mean that people have to be arrested today, but just to warn those who have two hearts, who is the world today, do you know?" Although the prince is not valued by the emperor, he is also the emperor's brother after all, how can the emperor watch him being bullied? ”
The people in the courtyard looked at each other, and Minghua didn't know what he meant by this, but ......
Guan Qing's implication is actually not difficult to understand, could it be that he saw something? Minghua thought so.
"Although I have no evidence now, once I have evidence in the future, I will definitely make you pay a very high price for the person who poisoned you today. In addition, in order to ensure the safety of the prince, the emperor asked Dr. Zhu to enter the palace to take care of the prince, and he will enter the palace tomorrow at the latest, Minghua, you are ready. ”
After Guan Qing said this, he got up and planned to leave, he forgot about the evidence, there have been too many things recently, and it is against the people of the subordinates, and there is usually no one to raise the bar with him, but now with Pei Ling'an, everything seems to have become not very smooth.
Seeing him get up, Pei Lingan stopped doing it and said, "What do you mean by this?" What does it mean that the emperor ordered Dr. Zhu to enter the palace to take care of the prince? Is it you or the emperor? Besides, Dr. Zhu had the experience of giving poison to the prince before, how could he let him take care of the prince? I disagree! ”
Guan Qing snorted coldly: "What are you when you are yourself?" You disagree? Why don't you agree? Do you have the final say in this matter? ”
Pei Ling'an's eyes changed suddenly, and there seemed to be killing intent on his face, Guan Qing was not surprised, and continued: "Whether it is me or the emperor's order, it is your turn to place the beak?" If you want to know if it was an order from the emperor himself, you can ask yourself. ”
Pei Ling'an couldn't bear it, as soon as he mentioned the emperor, his anger value rushed straight to his head, I don't know where he suddenly pulled out a short knife and stabbed it towards Guan Qing: "Who are you when you are?" It's just a walker, a dog, what are you angry in front of me? I'm going to kill you! ”
The incident happened suddenly, even if Qin Feng reacted quickly, but he still injured his arm because he helped Guan Qing block the knife, Minghua saw this, and immediately stepped forward to subdue Pei Ling'an.
Unexpectedly, Pei Ling'an had already turned red with anger, and even Minghua opened it.
