Chapter 187: The Emperor's Birthday Banquet

Tourmaline's cheeks suddenly flushed with a hint of ruddy, and her delicate appearance was like a red cloud, which was incredibly beautiful.

She pursed her red lips and smiled: "The princess is too worried, the woman and His Royal Highness Pingshui met and stayed in Prince Wen's mansion is really fate, not the relationship you imagined." ”

Meng Qi sneered, raised her crooked willow eyebrows, and said suspiciously: "What kind of relationship can I imagine?!" No one is a fool, isn't that what happens between this man and woman? When His Royal Highness is happy and may canonize you as the princess, you and I will be on an equal footing.

Get up in this palace, there can only be one princess, and there can be two princesses on the side, and you can fill in the missing seats, it couldn't be better. His Royal Highness is also satisfied, and Princess Zheng can't find fault with it, after all, you are not from the imperial city, and it is inevitable that Your Highness will be fresh for a while. ”

The more she listened, the more confused she became, she didn't know much about the hierarchy of the palace, and she had never delved into the various struggles in the mansion, and if Mengqi was so weird, Tourmaline couldn't understand the meaning at all.

She had to pretend to understand, and said with a smile: "What the princess said is very true, tourmaline has just arrived, and there are still many things I don't understand. ”

Meng Qi opened her mouth: "......"

She still wanted to sneer a few words, but unfortunately when her jealous gaze met the pure and immaculate eyes of tourmaline, at that moment, the words in her stomach came to her mouth, but she had to swallow them hard, what could she do? I'm afraid that no matter how much it is, it won't be of any use.

"Let's go!" Meng Qi turned her head to greet Zhilian, and the master and servant left the north hall one after the other!

Zhilian could see that Mengqi's face was very bad, so she asked heartily: "Princess Fang, are you angry with Princess Zheng?" Or are you upset because of the tourmaline girl? ”

Meng Qi stretched out her nose and let out a cold snort: "Let me tell you, don't look at tourmaline is very simple, the more a woman like her, the more ruthless she is when she does bad things."

Moreover, with a harmless face of humans and animals, she can do whatever she wants, and she will always be innocent, so she is the most terrible opponent. Does Tang Anxia think she can sit back and relax? Now it seems that sooner or later the two of them will have a fierce battle, I only need to add fuel to the fire, a little use of means, can make the two of them fall at the same time, when the palace is left with me alone, His Royal Highness can only see me in the eyes. ”

"What is the princess going to do?" Zhilian said curiously.

Meng Qi glanced at her warily, and secretly thought to herself: You are not my brocade, but a cheap maid next to Your Highness, how can I tell you everything?!

Then, Meng Qi replied coldly: "The time is not ripe, when the time is ripe, you will naturally know, wait to see a good show!" ”

……

Imperial Palace, Fengyi Palace.

Prince Wen came to find the second prince, and the two of them made an appointment to meet in an empty room in the westernmost part of Fengyi Palace. The surroundings are deserted, there is no idle heat, and there is not even a shadow of Xiarao.

Of course, the queen knew about this, and successfully pulled everyone back and carefully selected the safest room.

In her opinion, Prince Wen is the white-haired old man at the beginning, the noble man in his mouth, he is a great nobleman who can help the second prince ascend the throne as a king! You can't go wrong.

Therefore, the queen's attitude towards Prince Wen was extremely modest, and there was even a bit of flattery in her tone.

In the empty room, the queen ordered Yan'er to prepare hot tea, send someone to clean it up, and took a silver needle and put it on the table, and let them test it before drinking tea to prevent any fish from slipping through the net from poisoning.

After the servants brought Prince Wen in, the guards protecting the second prince left the room, and the servants of the ministry stayed away from the empty room and waited patiently for the dispatch.

Only Li Junqi, Ziyu and the second prince Li Min were left in the room.

"See the Second Prince." Li Junqi and Ziyu surrendered at the same time.

Li Min hurriedly picked up Li Junqi, his handsome face bloomed with a happy smile, and said, "Your Highness, you and I don't have to be polite!" You are a prince with a prominent status, and you and I are partners in the same boat, living and dying together, working hard together, and when others are not there, there is no need to be polite! ”

Li Junqi pulled a chair and sat down, and replied: "Thank you, Second Prince, I came here today, and the minister wants to inform you of a good news!" Xixue is really powerful, the western suburbs of the city is worthy of being a treasure land that is rich and rival the country, Xixue has found the illusory scatter, and handed it over to the people of the dark team, and it can be sent to Prince Wen's mansion tomorrow.

I would like to write a letter in my own handwriting, praising Xixue's outstanding ability and thanking him for his loyalty and dedication to the second prince. Without him, it's hard to imagine where we'd be going to find the Illusory Scatter! ”

"This prince has always believed in him, the western suburbs have made the snow, and the snow has made the western suburbs, and the two of them are indispensable in order to help the prince." Li Min Langlang agreed.

The two drank a few cups of tea, Li Min lowered his voice and whispered: "There is another thing, which happens to be a good opportunity for us to make a move." ”

"Oh? Is it so fast? Li Junqi was stunned for a moment and put down the teacup in his hand!

Li Min nodded, and said in a mysterious tone: "Three days later, it will be the emperor's birthday banquet." My father's birthday banquet will be held every year, but this year it is silent, my mother, she has already asked my father.

My father felt that he was unwell this year, and he was always in a trance, worried that it was the last birthday banquet, so he was afraid in his heart, and ordered my mother to keep everything simple, and prepare some delicious food.

In previous years, the singing and dancing parties, sword competitions, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, were all canceled. And the courtiers were not notified in advance, which meant that they were not allowed to prepare generous gifts in advance, intending to please the emperor. When the time comes, it's okay to come to dinner temporarily, and my father doesn't want anything this year, and it seems that he looks down on gifts. ”

Li Junqi frowned slightly, he knew that the emperor was an incurable poison, and now it seems that his life is not long in coming.

"Second prince, the minister has something to tell you, but this matter is very important, if you can calm down, this country must be in your pocket, if you make a statement everywhere, it will be in vain to try your hard work for many years!"

Li Junqi still decided to tell him, after all, illusory scatter is a weapon that must be used in the scheme, otherwise how to bring down the prime minister?!

Li Min was curious: "What's wrong?" Your Highness's mystery, what is the matter? ”

Li Junqi took a deep breath and said slowly: "The second prince doesn't know, in fact, the emperor was poisoned a few years ago.

The ministers sent people to investigate many thoroughly, the process was arduous, and some despicable means were used, and finally learned the truth. In the nourishing Chinese medicine that the emperor takes every day, a little illusory powder will be added.

This kind of thing is a miracle medicine in the rivers and lakes, if you take too much illusory powder at one time, you will vomit frequently, bleed from the seven orifices, and if you don't treat it in time, it will be life-threatening.

But if the amount is well controlled, only a little bit of illusory powder is used each time, it is colorless, odorless and not easy to detect, and the amount is too small to even try the silver needle, and it takes two or three years to see the effect of poisoning.

The emperor has been using this poison for a long time, and for more than two years, all the internal organs have been damaged to varying degrees, and the inside has been hollowed out, and the whole person is like an empty shell, and I am afraid that if I can't last long, I will die of weakness. ”

A trace of shock flashed in Li Min's eyes: "So, two and a half years ago, someone had already plotted to frame my father?!" Who is it! There is such a big boldness! Could it be the Prime Minister?! ”

"The second prince guessed right, only the prime minister can't wait to let the emperor die, he wants to take advantage of Li Jia's young age, he himself is still powerful, assist Li Jia's level, he becomes the regent, glorify the ancestors, and let the glory and wealth of the prime minister's mansion continue.

So Prime Minister can't wait, he can't wait for Li Jia to grow up, then it's hard to control, and he can't wait for him to be old, with empty ambition and insufficient strength.

According to the current situation of the emperor, I am afraid that it will not last long, and the prime minister's side will definitely take action to get rid of you and me, this plan has not been realized, and we have killed all the people in the rivers and lakes he raised outside, which can be regarded as a perfect cut off the prime minister's right-hand man.

Next, what is needed is a fatal blow, so that the emperor will personally avenge this crime of bullying the monarch and the big crime that caused him to die before he died! ”

Li Minzai listened carefully, the amount of information was huge, and he pondered Li Junqi's words over and over again in his head, as well as the ins and outs of the whole thing. After understanding it, he opened his mouth and analyzed: "The emperor has been kept in the dark so far!" His tonic Chinese medicine is all from the hands of the Tai Hospital, so there is a certain Tai Doctor in the palace, he is the prime minister's person?! ”

Li Junqi agreed: "That's right, Imperial Doctor Zhao is definitely not, he can do this thing seamlessly without being noticed by anyone, and he has taken the emperor's life unknowingly for more than two years, this imperial doctor is definitely not a nameless person!"

According to this inference, he should be the imperial physician who is equal to Imperial Physician Zhao and has superb medical skills. Except that he can use poison for this, no second person can do it. ”

"Could it be him?! But we don't have any proof! Li Min was surprised, he had met Imperial Physician Wang for a few years, and that person looked loyal and honest, but he didn't expect that there were all kinds of scheming in his heart.

Li Junqi's deep eyes were full of thought: "We have to find a way to let him fall into the net, and it will be set on the day of the emperor's banquet." Second Prince, you have to arrange for someone to thoroughly investigate the Imperial Hospital, especially all the places related to the Imperial Doctor, I will scatter the illusory and bring you a little bit of it, and look for it according to its appearance.

The emperor's time is running out now, and the imperial physician must have enough lethal illusory powder in his hands, as long as it can be found, it is evidence. In addition, in case it can't be searched, the point I give you is evidence, and the emperor won't mind if it's from the search, he will only mind who killed him? Who wanted his life! ”

"This prince understands!" After listening to Li Junqi's words, Li Min immediately felt that he had benefited a lot, Li Junqi seemed to have been planning for a long time, just patiently waiting for this opportunity to bring down the prime minister.

Li Junqi thought about it and said thoughtfully: "We must win this time, and we must not lose!" Second prince, you remember, if you lose the prime minister, it will be even more difficult to get rid of him.

But as long as he wins, the person who gives the order to the prime minister is the emperor! What Lund committed was a great crime of murdering the emperor and deceiving the king, which was a sin that would be raided. He will lose everything in the previous dynasty, and even the entire prime minister's mansion will be destroyed, along with the courtiers under the prime minister, will be affected.

It's a battle to the death that will determine who wins, you or the prince! If the prince wins, you have no chance of turning over! So our goal is very simple, that is, we all have the emperor's birthday banquet and expose the prime minister's crimes.

The minister came to you, and today I originally planned to inform you of two things, the first is that Xixue found the miraculous medicine Illusory Powder. The second thing is the real cause of the emperor's illness and the conspiracy of the prime minister.

I didn't expect that by mistake, you actually told Emperor Weichen about the birthday banquet, it seems that you are helping me, and you are helping us to do this big thing.

There are three things you need to prepare, one is to find a reliable person, and then search the hospital on the same day. Second, find some people with strong martial arts skills to ensure the safety of the emperor and you during the banquet, the emperor is already weak, if he dies unfortunately, no one will punish Lund!

When, I will send people from the dark team, as well as dead soldiers, to secretly protect the emperor, just in case someone makes a move!

Third, you must know that if you cooperate with me to play a good show, I will not be able to enter the palace again for the next three days, so as not to arouse suspicion and worry about what we are planning. When the time comes, you will see the opportunity to act and know what our ultimate goal is.

Finally, the second prince was also invited to invite more courtiers and concubines of the harem to see the birthday banquet, and the more people, the better the prime minister's guilt could be exposed

In addition, we need a scapegoat, this person is going to take Illusory Powder, and it is a person who has taken an excessive amount of Illusory Powder, causing the seven orifices to bleed and vomit incessantly.

He's important and able to trigger the whole thing to happen. His identity is also very important, he can't be an insignificant servant servant slave, so that the emperor feels that it doesn't matter if he dies, it must be very important for the emperor. ren is the same, and it can't be a person who will implicate the power of the harem in the former dynasty.

For example, the queen and courtiers, Jin Guifei and others are not advisable, their life and death will directly affect the turmoil of the court, absolutely not.

This person can not only enter the emperor's heart, let everyone care, but also die well. Chen, I think only Jing Guiren is the most suitable. She is the emperor's favorite concubine, and she is also the powerless concubine of the harem, if she dies, the emperor will be distressed and angry, and will be angry, but it will not affect our big plan, for the harem, only sacrifice Jing nobles! ”
