Chapter Ninety-Four: This Prince Is Very Sick (22)
The prince was very witty to lead the trouble to the second prince, clearly and secretly meaning that the second prince was a thief and shouted to catch the thief, and the second prince had already taken precautions, so naturally he did not fall into the trap, and there must be a scapegoat for this matter, so this crime was naturally placed on the body of the seventh prince Nangong Yuan. So Nangong Yuan, who was still immersed in pink bubbles, was arrested inexplicably.
When the officers and soldiers came to the Seven Kings' Mansion, Nangong Yuan was still eating breakfast with Shen Fan, and the old housekeeper had a toothache watching from the sidelines.
"Shen Fan, drink porridge." Nangong Yuan pushed the porridge in front of him to Shen Fan.
"Hmm." Shen Fan took it.
"How's it taste?" Nangong Yuan looked at Shen Fan expectantly, but there was a look on his face that I didn't care about.
"It tastes good." Shen Fan looked at Nangong Yuan, and a shallow smile appeared in his eyes, as soft as a cloud. Nangong Yuan blushed when he was seen by Shen Fan, saw Shen Fan's delicate lips, and didn't know where to think when he heard Shen Fan's "taste very good", and the whole person was embarrassed.
"No, not daytime, daytime," Nangong Yuan stammered, but he didn't know how to say what he thought.
“!!!!!!!” Who am I? Where am I? The old butler felt the question from the soul.
"Okay, listen to you." Shen Fan's face didn't even change, and he took Nangong Yuan's words from the good.
"Hmm." It's not that it can't, it's just that Nangong Yuan replied in a low voice.
"Oh no, no!" A servant burst in in a panic.
"What are you doing? In a hurry? The old butler reprimanded the servant the moment he entered.
"Oh no. Lord, it's not good! The servant said with some panic; Even the old butler's words were ignored.
"Slowly, what's wrong?" Nangong Yuan restored his image as a noble son the moment the servant came in, his tone was steady, not slow or hurried, very reassuring, and sure enough, the servant calmed down at once.
"Officers and soldiers, officers and soldiers have come to the Seven Kings' Mansion and want to arrest the prince." The servant was clearly frightened. But also, the seventh prince has always been unfavored, and he is very low-key, and even there are only a dozen servants in the palace, all of whom are low-key masters, who usually don't cause trouble, and do things in the palace, receive a little money, and live a peaceful and stable life.
"What's going on? Don't talk nonsense! The old butler obviously didn't believe it, in his heart, his little master could be as well-behaved as he wanted, how could he mess with the people of the government.
"Just now the officers and soldiers came to fetch people, as if to say, the prince, the prince" The servants were a little afraid to look at their own prince's face.
"Lord Wang, what?" The old butler asked hurriedly.
"The prince is the one who poisoned the emperor!" "Damn the little ones, damn the little ones!" After speaking, the servant knelt on the ground and kowtowed, apparently frightened.
"That's!" The old housekeeper flicked his sleeves angrily, walking left and right, what has his prince been doing recently, don't you know it?
"Get up." Nangong Yuan was very calm, and he was even in the mood to continue eating. In fact, when the servant said that, he already had several ways to get out in his heart, so he naturally didn't care.
"Seventh Prince, please follow along!" An officer and soldier stepped forward, looking very respectful, but in fact there was no respect at all, it was obvious that they didn't take Nangong Yuan in their eyes, and they broke straight in. In the eyes of the officers and soldiers, Nangong Yuan was a victim of the competition between the two nobles, so naturally he didn't talk about Nangong Yuan at all.
"Hmm." Nangong Yuan refused
As the man approached, he walked out by himself.
The man glanced at Shen Fan a few times before leaving, but he didn't expect that this Seventh Prince was very good at enjoying it, and there was such a beauty hidden in the house. couldn't help but glance at Shen Fan a few more times, and felt that Shen Fan was many times more beautiful than the first beauty in Qiming Kingdom, and his heart was shaken, and he was a little absent-minded when he walked. I didn't notice it at all, when I looked at Shen Fan, Nangong Yuan instantly had violent eyes.
"Miss Shen, this? What can I do? The old housekeeper was anxious, and looked at Shen Fan who was still eating breakfast calmly with some complaints.
"You have to believe in the Seventh Prince." Shen Fan glanced at the old butler and didn't speak, the old butler felt that he had miraculously calmed down, and even had the illusion that this little thing was difficult for his own Seventh Prince.
On the way to the palace, Nangong Yuan encountered an ambush, in fact, Nangong Yuan was not surprised, after all, in the eyes of the crown prince and the second prince, he was just a scapegoat, and the best way to deal with the scapegoat was to kill people and kill his mouth, so that he couldn't speak. Nangong Yuan naturally expected the ambush, successfully dodged the assassination, and delayed waiting for the arrival of the imperial guards. Obviously, this matter is very important, and Emperor Qiming wants to interrogate it personally!
Imperial Study:
"Do you know what I've called you here for?" Emperor Qiming looked at Nangong Yuan who was kneeling below with an uncertain expression. In fact, Emperor Qiming's body is now a crossbow with a strong bow, but he is unwilling to show it and insists on interrogating him in the imperial study.
"The son is ignorant, and I hope that my father will make it clear." Nangong Yuan said neither humbly nor arrogantly. He naturally knows what the reason is, and he is now nothing more than a scapegoat for the crown prince and the second prince. Although he has not been out of the palace in the past six months, he is clear about the movements of the imperial court, and when the officers and soldiers came to the door, he knew that he had become a substitute for the dead. And he also knew that Emperor Qiming was checking the prince at the beginning, and he was pulled out to die, and Emperor Qiming naturally needed a punching bag if he couldn't find anyone, and he was pushed out at this time, no matter whether Emperor Qiming believed it or not, he was nine deaths.
"I don't know? I don't know! Emperor Qiming threw the admonition on the desk to Nangong Yuan, and the people below knelt down and shouted, "The emperor is angry."
"Erchen really doesn't know." Nangong Yuan raised a pair of confused eyes and looked at Emperor Qiming innocently, as if he didn't know why he suddenly made him angry, very harmless.
"My body is not naturally weak, but poisoned!" Emperor Qiming looked at Nangong Yuan's helpless appearance, and his conscience found a little weak-hearted, he naturally knew that this matter was not done by Nangong Yuan, and now that he was innocently implicated, it was indeed a bit excessive, and his voice softened. However, in the eyes of Emperor Qiming, Nangong Yuan is still the son who is very cowardly and does not become a big deal, so he will be at ease after a while, after all, his favorite son is much better than him, and since he is a punching bag, he can't change.
"Poisoned?" The actor Nangong Yuan was very dedicated and showed surprise and fear, obviously very innocent, and looked like he instantly understood the current situation, and shouted "Erchen is innocent." The eyes are full of expectations and admiration for Emperor Qiming.
Nangong Yuan couldn't even stand some officials who knew about it, and he felt very sorry in his heart. However, it is just pity, because only by sacrificing Nangong Yuan can he ensure his own interests.
"What more do you want to say?" Emperor Qiming looked at Nangong Yuan with a serious expression, looking like he was injured.
Obviously, in this court, everyone is an actor.
"Father, the son was wronged. Erchen hopes that his father can give Erchen half an hour's time. Nangong Yuan looked at Emperor Qiming very earnestly.
"Oh?" Emperor Qiming was interested
looked at Nangong Yuan, who had calmed down, obviously wondering how Nangong Yuan could turn the tables.
"If the father believes in the son, the son is willing to diagnose the pulse of the father. Erchen has been interested in medicine since he was a child and often discusses incurable medical diseases with Miss Shen. Nangong Yuan's words were sincere, his expression was worried, and he looked like even if he might be wrongfully killed, he was worried about his father's body and wanted to do his best, which was very touching. Anyway, Emperor Qiming was moved, he didn't expect that his son, who had never been waiting to see, cared so much about him.
"Hmm." Emperor Qiming agreed, after all, no one wants to die, this poison even the imperial doctor can't judge, he doesn't believe that a person who has not experienced orthodox training can know, but for the sake of Nangong Yuan's sincerity, Emperor Qiming also agreed.
"Thank you, Father." Nangong Yuan directly stepped forward to diagnose Emperor Qiming, and soon frowned, and then put down Emperor Qiming's hand with a sad face. Emperor Qiming also expected the result, so he was not much disappointed, but he was even more angry in his heart, after all, no one wanted to die when he was proud of his life.
"Father, you may be heavy with the poison that is scattered every day." Nangong Yuan said hesitantly.
"Oh?" Emperor Qiming didn't expect Nangong Yuan to be able to see it and be interested.
"As the name suggests, daily scattering is to scatter some vitality every day. It is a chronic drug, after eating it, it eats away at the vitality day by day, and it is not easy to find it at ordinary times, but occasionally I feel weak, and even if I find it, I only think it is the natural weakness of the body, so it is called daily dispersion. There is an antidote to this poison. You need three dollars for licorice, three or seven or four dollars," Nangong Yuan said calmly.
Emperor Qiming was speechless in surprise, and hurriedly asked the people below to write down Nangong Yuan's prescription. He thought that he would definitely die this time, who knew that the willows and flowers would be bright and another village, it was really blessed by God.
"It's just" Nangong Yuan looked embarrassed, and he was a little hesitant to say it.
"Just what?" Emperor Qiming obviously knew that the words behind might not be good words, so he was anxious and urged Nangong Yuan to say it quickly.
"It's just that this medicine is very domineering, even if my father takes the antidote, it only guarantees that my father's will not die, and my father's body will not be replenished, but as long as you pay attention to diet and exercise, it is not impossible to die at the end of your life. I don't know who is so vicious, and he actually laid such a harmful thing, he is really not human, and it will be thunder and thunder on that day! After saying that, Nangong Yuan was very angry and grabbed his sleeves, obviously looking like he was going to step forward desperately if he knew who it was.
Emperor Qiming looked at Nangong Yuan like this, and was naturally very moved. But when he thought that his body would not be healthy in the future, he was so angry that he wanted to break the body of the poisoned person into pieces. Obviously, it is his own poison that has been resolved, and he can't go to court as usual, so he can only abdicate.
Emperor Qiming had to conspire about who was most affected by his own poisoning. In his opinion, Nangong Yuan is naturally not the one who poisoned him, so it is very likely that he is the second prince, after all, the crown prince has no such motive, he is the orthodox heir, and there is no need to do anything else. And he was reminded by the second prince of his poisoning, obviously he was aware, and everything was normal in the investigation of the crown prince, but the second prince seemed abnormal. Thinking of this, Emperor Qiming already had the answer.
"Qi'er, you have made a great contribution this time, just tell your father what reward you want." Emperor Qiming looked at Nangong Yuan with a smile. The surrounding officials looked at Emperor Qiming's appearance, knowing that their master's attention was obviously about to fail, and they couldn't help but worry about their master, what if the emperor suspected that it was his master?
