On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, singing and dancing were peaceful, the palace held a Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, Xuanyuan Hongqiang supported his sick body, and the monarch and the courtiers prayed for the peace of the country and the people, and there was a peaceful atmosphere.

Unexpectedly, after Chinese New Year's Eve, at the beginning of the new year, one after another, courtiers died violently without warning, and many of the girls in Qianjiaoge fell ill, and their bodies convulsed ~ foaming at the mouth, and died violently.

Prince Xuanyuan Haotian had an ominous premonition in his heart, these people were all poisoned, and those officials who had no interest and refused to obey, in order to make them submit, were controlled by Qiu Tong with Gu poison.

There is only one reason for the large-scale violent death of these people, that is, there is an accident in Qiutong, and there is no news from Jiangnan, Xuanyuan Haotian is anxious and anxious to send someone to investigate the situation in Jiangnan.

The imperial doctor who went to inspect was Lu Liancheng, a close confidant of the Wei family, and he had already seen that those people had died of Gu poison, and the concubines around the prince were good at Gu poison, which was a well-known secret among the courtiers.

reported this matter to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother also felt strange and ordered someone to declare to the outside world that this was drinking unclean water or vegetables. The people of the Ming Tai Hospital made a show and spread some medicinal powder on water sources all over the capital to dispel the panic of the people.

And issued an order that if there is another death and poison in the capital, it will be mourned secretly, and no one will be notified so as not to panic among the courtiers, and the panic will continue to spread, and the courtiers will go to Fengqi Palace to pray for a visit.

Donggong Prince's Mansion, Xuanyuan Haotian has been waiting for news from Jiangnan, it has been a few days, someone will die violently every day, his father handed over the power of the prison country to him, and now he is recuperating in the Cheng'en Palace, and if such a thing happens, he will not be able to hide it.

"Goo-goo--! The blue-gray carrier pigeon landed outside the window.

Xuanyuan Hao's Tianming guard grabbed the pigeon~, hurriedly took the pigeon, went to the bamboo tube tied to the lower leg, and unfolded the note.

Qiutong Pei Zhen died, and the four family heads disappeared. King Yu is in Jiangnan, has been registered, and is on his way back.

I didn't expect King Yu to really get the roster, and this matter is so important that he must enter the palace to discuss with the queen mother, "Prepare for driving!" Enter the palace. ”

Holding the narrow page in his hand, holding it tightly in the palm of his hand, he had already guessed that something had happened to Qiu Tong, and it was not a pity for Pei Zhen to die, but Qiu Tong had been with him for many years, and his heart was very uncomfortable, Qiu Tong's death was tantamount to losing his right arm

Pei Zhen is also dead, King An and King Wei are not credible, and among the younger generation, there is still Xiao Yichen who can be used.

Luan Jia has been prepared, and Xuanyuan Haotian wants to enter the palace to meet Empress Wei and discuss a perfect countermeasure.

In Fengqi Palace~, Wei Shilan had a headache, and just sent a group of old ministers, they are all the core of the Wei family's forces, and they are also senior moths.

Qiu Tong is a killer that the Wei family has worked so hard to cultivate, is it really dead? There are a lot of doubts in my mind.

Wei Chuyan saw that the queen had a heart in the past two days, so she made some tea that calmed her nerves and nourished her heart, "Don't worry about the queen mother, Sister Qiutong is very clever and will be fine." ”

"The main palace is worried that the head of the four families will not be able to keep the secret of the account book." This is exactly what the old ministers are worried about.

Wei Chu Yan couldn't help with these things, she just came out of the emperor's bedroom, "Queen Mother, Yan'er just went to her father's place, Concubine Yun Guifei was waiting beside her, and when she saw Yan'er going, she stopped talking." Yan'er was worried that Concubine Yun had other plans, in case she told the violent death of the courtiers, and such an important event happened during the prince's imprisonment, she was afraid that the emperor would change his mind. ”

Wei Shilan is not without vigilance in this matter, it is not a day or two that Queen An's mother and son have bad intentions, "This palace has warned her, the power of the Yun family has been suppressed by the Wei family, and now Xiao Yichen and Jing Xuan have just gotten married, Xiao Yichen must rely on the Wei family if he wants to have a future, and this palace has already prepared a way back for Jing Xuan to Xiao Yichen." ”

"That's fine."

Wei Shilan held Wei Chuyan's hand, "It's you who make the palace worry, you have been married to the prince for two years, when will you be able to give birth to a concubine for the prince, and the palace has also taken care of a matter." ”

Every time she mentioned this matter, Wei Chuyan was a little embarrassed, and the queen mother was relieved that Yan'er would do her best. ”

Outside the hall, Mama Su said: "The prince has arrived!" ”

Wei Shilan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "I just talked about the prince, and now it's here." ”

Xuanyuan Haotian had not changed his court clothes, and he stepped into the hall in a hurry, and looked around, only the crown princess was there.

"Queen Mother, Qiu Tong and Pei Zhen both died in Jiangnan, and King Yu has already obtained the account book."

Wei Shilan sat up in shock, and what those old ministers were worried about finally happened. He didn't like Pei Zhen in the first place, and if he died, he would die. If her daughter Jingruo is still young, the princess can also marry someone else, but I am afraid that there will be a lot of trouble. It is sad that it is Qiu Tong.

"It's better to completely eradicate King Yu this time, King Yu is on the way back to Yuzhou, and Erchen has sent someone to ambush him, but it's not easy for his father to explain."

Wei Shilan knew what the prince was worried about? The emperor seemed to be ruthless, and he expelled King Yu from the capital, but he was actually protecting that son.

The relationship between husband and wife for more than 20 years is not as good as a dead person, and if Wen Xinci hadn't stolen her piano music back then, she would not have won favor.

Today, it is her son's turn to seize the throne with the crown prince, and he must cut the grass and eradicate the roots, which means that the relationship between husband and wife for more than 20 years is over.

"There's nothing to worry about, just do what the prince wants to do, just leave it to the palace from the emperor."

After the crown prince left, Wei Shilan announced that Lu Liancheng was coming, the youngest imperial doctor in the imperial hospital, and ordered him to poison the emperor's decoction, so as not to be discovered by the emperor, and it was best to be able to make the emperor drowsy.

Husband and wife, originally didn't want to use this way, in order to keep their son's country and the power of the Wei family, they tried to find a way to get the jade seal and tiger talisman of the country, and they would never let Yun Baoyue get it.

After more than ten days and nights of hurrying, and three more days to reach the territory of Yuzhou, in order to ensure safety, Cui Hu has returned to Yuzhou in advance to mobilize forces along the way to protect. The prince's men will definitely ambush them on their way back to Yuzhou.

The night is falling, and the sky is getting darker.

Mu Bangshang opened the curtain of the carriage and saw the wide street, people coming and going is very lively, and there is still a strong festive atmosphere here, and the streets and alleys are hung with festive lanterns.

Suddenly, today is the Shangyuan Festival, and I have been in a hurry day and night along the way, and I haven't gotten out of the car for a long time.

Looking at the men, women, young and old on the side of the road, they were happy, and their eyes became warm.

Xuanyuan saw the warmth flashing in Mu Bangsheng's eyes, they had just entered the city and were already being targeted.

"Tonight, let's stay and rest for the night, and then we will go tomorrow."

Mu Bangshang was a little puzzled, "Lord Wang, it's important for us to hurry." ”

"Shang, we have been targeted, the prince wants to take our golden cicada out of the shell, so get off the carriage in a while, no matter what happens, don't panic, just follow Yanjiu."

Since leaving Zeng Cheng, they have been ready to flee, and it seems that King Yu and Li Ge are ready to get out. How do we do that? ”

The carriage stopped in the middle of the city, several people walked around, and stopped in front of the stall where they bought lanterns, Yan Jiu paid the silver, bought two lanterns, and handed them to Mu Bangsheng's hand.

Mu Wanshang was very happy to get the lantern, "I'm a little hungry, I haven't had a good meal for a long time, why don't we find a restaurant and sit down." ”

Li Ge's warm eyes glanced at Mu Bangshang, and then looked at King Yu, "That's right, I will return to Yuzhou in a few days, and I should be fine." ”

Xuanyuan just snorted lightly, agreeing to the proposal of the two, and the group found a nearby restaurant and walked in, and went directly to the second floor to ask for a private room.

Closing the door, the expressions of several people became a little nervous, and Xuanyuan frowned coldly, "Ye Zheng, how many people are there." ”

"I don't know, there are at least two dozen people."

Yan Jiu had already pushed the window on the second floor, and drew the lantern in his hand three times with his left hand and his right hand in front of the window, passing the code to the people in the dark.

After a while, I heard a cooing sound from downstairs, "Lord Wang, it's all right." ”

Xuanyuan looked at Mu Bangsheng and asked Yan Jiu to leave with you first, and we will meet outside the city.

Hearing that the two of them were going to stay, her heart was full of worry, knowing that her martial arts were not good, and staying would only drag the two of them down.

The words that wanted to be said stopped and stopped, "Take care! Then he followed Yan Jiu and jumped down from the window on the second floor.

There was already a carriage waiting for them downstairs, "Miss Mu, get on the carriage quickly." ”

In the dark night, Mu Bangshang couldn't see the man's face clearly, but he heard the man's voice, it was Cui Hu.

Yan Jiu sent Mu Bangshang to the carriage, Cui Hu is Li Ge's guard is very loyal, and it is still relieved to hand over Mu Bangsheng to him Yan Jiu.

Yan Jiu advised: "Ye Zheng is still here, I don't worry, he will escort you out of the city when you leave with Cui Hu." ”

"Sister Yan!" The door of the carriage had been closed, and Yan Jiu had already flown up to the second floor.

Cui Hu said: "Miss Mu, don't worry, King Yu has always been considered to have made no mistakes, and he has already thought of a way out." ”

Mu Bangsheng got into Cui Hu's carriage and ran out of the city, they all knew martial arts, and she would only drag them down if she stayed.

The gate of Wancheng City is crowded with people, many of them come to see the lantern show, and there is the day of the annual Changchun Building selection of Oiran on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month every year.

With the help of the flow of people, the carriage finally mixed out of the city and turned with the team waiting outside the city.

Mu Wanshang was anxious, and the more time passed, the more uneasy she became.

Lift the curtain and look outside, the night fog is clear, I don't know what the situation is in the city?

I couldn't feel at ease in the carriage, so I opened the door and jumped out of the carriage directly, "Cui Guard, aren't you worried about Your Royal Highness?" ”

"With King Yu here, naturally don't worry."

Since Cui Hu is not worried, she should believe in King Yu, look up at the city, even if there are all kinds of worries, she can only wait patiently.

There was a roar in the city, like fireworks, and the firelight mixed with thick smoke rose to the sky, and the sky-high fire could still be seen in the vast night.

"It must be King Yu that something happened to them, Cui Hu, let's go back and have a look."

"No need, the prince and they are already back."
