Chapter 521: Chronic Poison

Jiang Qiancheng's face was full of shock, he didn't expect the emperor to suddenly mention this topic, for the throne, no matter whether he has an opinion or not, he can't answer truthfully, no matter how he answers, he will definitely step on the minefield!

He hesitated, with a thoughtful expression, as if he was struggling with whether to answer, or to change the topic directly, and the emperor laughed when he saw his expression, but the laughter was accompanied by a cough.

The Emperor said, "I'm just asking casually, you don't have to pay much attention to it, just want to know if you are really interested in this position." ”

"It's better not to ask this question casually."

"Actually, I also mentioned the same problem to the third child, but his reaction was much stronger than yours, and he thought that I wanted to give you the throne directly."

Jiang Qiancheng was stunned, and suddenly reacted to what was the main reason why the third prince had gathered a lot of officials to prepare for the incident recently, it must be that he felt that the emperor wanted to abdicate, so he was in a hurry to depose himself as the crown prince, no matter who succeeded to the throne later, it couldn't be himself!

Jiang Qiancheng sighed and said, "Father, I think you should also know why the third prince is so opposed to me being the crown prince, and you still say things like that to him, don't you attract all his eyes to me?" Did you do it on purpose? ”

"Yes."

"Why?"

"I want to know what you think of these things, and I want to know if you can really be a qualified prince."

Jiang Qiancheng was very helpless, no matter whether he was a qualified prince or not, his position was given by the emperor himself, could he still regret it? What's the point of this kind of thing? It's just adding to his trouble!

The emperor saw that Jiang Qiancheng did not continue to speak, nor reluctantly, he probably guessed that Jiang Qiancheng must be complaining about his actions in his heart now, but he didn't feel that he had done anything wrong, he wanted to verify his thoughts, and he also wanted to see which person would be more suitable to sit in the emperor's position.

"Don't worry," the emperor said with a smile: "What I say to you now will not affect what you will do in the future, I said that you can do it yourself to investigate the affairs of the third prince, and I will not interfere in it." ”

"Father," Jiang Qiancheng raised his head to look at the emperor, his eyes curious: "Sometimes I really can't understand what you think in your heart, you seem to be playing a game." ”

"The struggle for the throne and the consolidation of imperial power are originally the same as the game, but it depends on whether the final result of the game is beneficial to you."

Jiang Qiancheng frowned, it turned out that he was just a pawn in his game? Although he knew for a long time that there was no so-called real family affection in the royal family, when he directly admitted it, Jiang Qiancheng's heart was still somewhat uncomfortable.

"I see that you don't seem to want to talk to me anymore, so step back and go meet your fiancΓ©e."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Yes," Jiang Qiancheng arched his hand: "Erchen retired." ”

As he left the Imperial Study, the sound of the Emperor's hidden cough came from behind him.

Jiang Qiancheng looked back, shook his head helplessly, and left.

The Queen's Bedchamber.

The queen mother has been investigating the things the emperor has been taking for the past two days, including the meals of each meal, and the medicines he takes.

Jiang Qianbai asked: "Is it that someone poisoned the drug?" ”

"No," the queen shook her head and explained, "There is no poison, but there are a few herbs that are not in the prescription, although they are not fatal, but if they are taken for a long time, the damage to the body will be great." ”

"It's like a chronic poison that has been lurking in the body until the body can't bear it anymore, and the poison dies," Yue Qingming said lightly: "And if it really comes to that time, it is estimated that even if the gods descend to earth, they will not be able to save it!" ”

Jiang Qianbai and the queen mother looked at each other, although the current situation is not so serious, but who can guarantee that something like that will not happen in the future?

The queen said: "The eunuch in charge of boiling medicine for the emperor has been arrested, but he said that he doesn't know anything and will not admit his guilt." ”

"Did someone add something to the jar while he wasn't looking?"

"Probably, it's not clear who is behind this."

Yue Qingming thought about it, now he has to do it against Jiang Qiancheng and the emperor, and there are only three princes in the entire imperial city, although there is no evidence, but this matter is absolutely inseparable from him! And there is also a lady in the palace, isn't it easy for her to do such a thing?

"Let's stop the medicine first," Yue Qingming said, "Your Majesty the Emperor will trouble the Empress Mother to persuade her." ”

"Got it."

As soon as the topic on their side ended, Jiang Qiancheng came here from the imperial study.

Jiang Qiancheng asked, "How is the situation on your side?" ”

Jiang Qianbai replied: "There is a problem with the medicine, but who did it, I don't know." ”

"Who else do you think would dare to do that?"

Jiang Qianbai smiled and said, "It seems that we have the same idea. ”

Yue Qingming also laughed, it seems that the three of them have the same thoughts, and the biggest suspect is the third prince! Although I have often seen such a plot in TV series before, the emperor is not a bad person, but he must not let him die in the hands of the third prince!

Yue Qingming said: "I will find a way to condition His Majesty the Emperor's body, but you have to promise not to let such a thing happen again, otherwise even the best medicine and the best body will not be able to withstand such a toss." ”

Jiang Qiancheng nodded: "Got it." ”

On the way back to Mingyue Tower, Jiang Qiancheng asked her, "What can you do to detoxify the emperor?" ”

"To be precise, His Majesty the Emperor is not poisoned now, he can only be regarded as weak, so he only needs to strengthen his body's immunity."

"Immunity? What is that? ”

Yue Qingming was stunned for a moment, and then explained with a smile: "I mean, take good care of His Majesty the Emperor's body and restore his body to health!" ”

"You don't seem to know medical skills, do you, you can also regulate your body?"

"I really won't, but I have friends!"

"Friends?"

Yue Qingming smiled and blinked, that is a very useful friend!

After returning to Mingyue Tower, Yue Qingming found a vacant room and summoned the magical Taobao system: "System, I need some medicine to help the emperor regulate his body." ”

"Searching for a target, please ...... later"

"The target search was successful, please click to view."

Yue Qingming smiled and clicked, the most suitable choice was already in front of her, after clicking to buy, she crossed her arms, her eyes were full of smiles, look, her "friend" didn't just put things in front of her?
