442. Jade

As soon as these words came out, almost everyone in the room held their breath, and their eyes were all focused on Ye Zewei.

The person concerned, Emperor Qianling, was very calm, and just nodded, "There is Prime Minister Lao." ”

Ye Jingjing looked at the Emperor Qianling in disbelief, and then at Ye Zewei, beating the drum wildly in her heart.

Before the imperial doctor told her that Di Qianling had been too tired recently, which led to the recurrence of some old diseases, so he vomited blood, and it was no big deal, so Ye Jingjing thought of a way to let Di Qianling take medicine on time, hoping that he would get better as soon as possible.

But now looking at Ye Zewei's solemn face, it seems that Emperor Qianling's illness is very serious......

"Close your doors and windows, keep them guarded outside, and no one will be allowed to come in." Ye Zewei commanded.

Wanbai and Siling immediately complied.

Qi Wushuang also wanted to leave, but was stopped by a look from Emperor Qianling; Ye Zewei also wanted Mrs. Ye to leave, but she said that she had to be with her daughter, so Ye Zewei had no choice but to give up.

However, although everyone put on a posture of listening to each other, Ye Zewei did not speak for a long time.

Ye Jingjing was anxious, but she didn't dare to urge, so she could only wait, but she unexpectedly felt uneasy.

Ye Zewei looked at the Emperor Qianling several times, and then looked at his toes, just sighing more than a dozen times.

He was still hesitant to tell the truth, but seeing Emperor Qianling's indifferent face, he thought that he might have seen it, so after experiencing some ideological struggle, he still spoke, "The emperor's illness ...... It's the same as the first emperor. ”

In the whole room, only Ye Jingjing was confused about this matter.

However, Emperor Qianling still maintained a calm attitude, "I guessed it from the day I knew that I was sick. It's a curse that can't be broken. ”

Ye Ze sighed slightly, couldn't speak, and looked at the Emperor Qianling with compassion.

Mrs. Ye was also full of sadness, and Qi Wushuang was even more unwilling to pound the armrest of the chair, looking very worried about Emperor Qianling.

Ye Jingjing finally couldn't help it and asked, "What is the disease?" What does it have to do with curses? Why do you all know, but I don't know? ”

Emperor Qianling wanted to explain one by one, but Ye Zewei spoke one step ahead of him, "Jing'er, you listen to your father's explanation slowly, it just so happens that the old minister also has to confess to the emperor, why did the old minister keep going against the emperor earlier." ”

Ye Jingjing and Emperor Qianling nodded at the same time, but Emperor Qianling was a little depressed, and he felt that he had missed the opportunity to talk to Ye Jingjing.

After all, it was the first exchange after the truth was revealed, and Emperor Qianling attached great importance to it. However, it is not bad to be able to hear Ye Zewei's heartfelt words.

Ye Zewei, who had a solemn face, said, "When the emperor died, he hurriedly passed the throne to the emperor, and many people in the government and the opposition felt that it was incredible, after all, ...... The emperor valued Di Luochen the most. ”

"I know this, and then what?" Ye Jingjing asked eagerly. "Can you pick something I haven't heard of?"

Ye Zewei responded casually, and said, "In short, the old minister has always felt that something is wrong, and he even listened to the slander of others, and felt that the emperor was secretly usurping the throne, so he stood on the opposite side of the emperor, and even secretly investigated the matter. ”

"At that time, many people said that I killed my father to get this position. No, this rumor has persisted until now. Emperor Qianling smiled bitterly.

Ye Jingjing clearly saw sadness and helplessness from this smile.

Sure enough, Emperor Qianling said, "But who knows that I was in front of my father's hospital bed, and after listening to his holy decree, I watched him die with my own eyes?" ”

Speaking of the emperor, Ye Zewei was slightly full of tears, "Alas...... After all, there are many examples of turning against each other for the sake of the throne, and the old minister was confused for a while, mistakenly believed those rumors, and was investigated for evidence that the emperor assassinated the emperor.

"However, how can there be evidence of something that does not exist? So it wasn't until the old minister reconciled with the emperor because of Jing'er that he really found out that the emperor was poisoned back then! ”

Ye Jingjing was taken aback, "What?!" Who dared to poison the first emperor? Wait, Dad, didn't you say that Emperor Qianling and the former emperor are the same disease, how can it be poisonous again? ”

Ye Zewei said helplessly, "The disease that became because of poisoning, you can just keep listening." When the emperor got a piece of jade, he ordered the craftsman to divide it and make it into a longevity talisman to distribute to his princes.

"But no one would have thought that that jade would not bless people with a long life, but would cause people to lose their lives! There was a strange toxin on that jade, and after wearing it for many years, the emperor had been eroded by the toxin, which caused his sudden death! ”

Speaking of this, Prime Minister Ye Cheng's emotions became excited.

After all, he used to be loyal to the former emperor, and now that he found out the truth, he certainly felt unworthy of the sudden death of the former emperor.

He calmed down a little and said, "The old minister thinks that the emperor must have noticed this, but he was powerless to recover it, so he passed the throne to the emperor."

"Because the emperor's longevity talisman is the smallest, the first emperor must have felt that other princes, like him, have been corroded by toxins and will not live long, so he chose the emperor who is most likely to live safely."

Ye Jingjing suddenly realized.

Like everyone else, she always thought that Emperor Qianling could inherit the throne, either the first emperor suddenly discovered his ability, or the queen mother did something, but she didn't expect that it was the first emperor who chose the longest life in order to keep the emperor's family.

In retrospect, this is a bit ironic.

Ye Jingjing felt that Emperor Qianling must be very uncomfortable in his heart.

I thought it was something I got by my own ability, but in the end, because of an unexpected condition, I became a lucky person, so Emperor Qianling will definitely be very disappointed.

Thinking of this, Ye Jingjing secretly glanced at Emperor Qianling, but found that his expression was flat, no different from before.

Could it be that he has already seen it?

Ye Jingjing muttered to herself in her heart.

But if you think about it carefully, Emperor Qianling has always disliked the throne, maybe he doesn't care so much, so he can accept this somewhat cruel reality.

Seeing that Ye Zewei didn't speak, Qi Wushuang couldn't help but ask, "And then?" ”

"And then?"

Ye Zewei repeated it and said with a wry smile, "Then the other princes, that is, the current princes, some died before they became ill, and some became seriously ill...... It is also considered the luck of the fifth prince, he has a grudge against the emperor, and secretly lost the longevity talisman, but picked up a life. ”

He looked at the Emperor Qianling worriedly, and muttered to himself, "It's just that the old minister really didn't expect that the reason behind it was actually like this, and after finding out, it was already too late......"

Suddenly, Emperor Qianling covered his chest, his face turned pale, and his forehead was instantly covered with beads of sweat the size of beans.
