Chapter 295: Gift (2)
The county lord of Yuanyang was stunned by this shout, but the lid of the box had been lifted by her, and several rays of light flew out in all directions!
Ji Erlan was so keen, she had already reacted the moment she heard the sound of the machine, but she only had time to use the brocade cushion kneeling under her to block the hidden weapon for Princess Hongyang.
And the county lord of Yuanyang, who was facing the box, didn't even understand what was going on, she had already been stabbed in the chest by several silver needles as thin as hair, she let out a frightened inhalation, her eyes were scattered to the side, the wooden box carved with gold lacquer in her hand fell to the ground, and a slightly rough but exquisitely constructed thing rolled out.
The people in the main hall looked over this way when they heard the voice, but they saw that the county lord of Yuanyang and the female palace people sitting around him fell down.
The uproar resounded, and the emperor and others on the throne all got up and looked over one after another. Ji Erlan squatted down to probe the snort of the county lord of Yuanyang, and he didn't smell it. Princess Hongyang asked in a trembling voice, "Is she still alive?" ”
"Alive, but ...... The situation is not optimistic, and this thin needle is highly poisonous. As soon as Ji Erlan's words fell, the eldest princess of Tao An had already pounced from there and shouted, "Xin'er?!" What's going on? What happened to Xin'er? ”
Ji Erlan grabbed the eldest princess Tao'an and said, "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, the secret weapon is poisonous, don't approach it yet." ”
"What did you say?" The eldest princess of Tao An turned pale and couldn't believe it. "Where's the secret weapon? How can there be a hidden weapon? ”
At this time, the emperor and the queen mother had already walked over, looking at a group of female dependents who had fallen on the ground in surprise. And Empress Xiao stood beside the Queen Mother, her eyes fell on Ji Erlan, who was holding the eldest princess of Tao An, and her face flashed with speculation.
Seeing the unconscious Lord of Yuanyang, Nagari couldn't help but step forward, his eyes showing pain and surprise. Obviously, no matter who the culprit is, he should show such a look, because it is part of the plan itself. But Ji Erlan felt that a lot of the emotions flowing in his eyes seemed to be sincere.
She looked away and met Yang Zheng's inquiring eyes, Ji Erlan nodded lightly, indicating that she was fine.
Several female dependents who were affected around them, their families and slaves, were all crying and crying, and the emperor opened his mouth and scolded: "Shut up!" Where is the Imperial Doctor, why don't you hurry over and treat the Lord of Yuanyang County?! Do you want me to invite you myself!? ”
A few imperial doctors who were still speculating and stunned over there suddenly woke up, and strode over with the medicine boxes that never left them, and walked towards the five or six people who fell to the ground.
Ji Erlan retreated from the eldest princess of Tao An to the eldest princess of Hongyang, and the eldest princess of Hongyang reacted and said: "Yuanyang came to send something to the palace, but as soon as the box was opened, countless hidden weapons flew out in all directions. Her voice was faintly remorseful, and everyone followed her gaze to look at the box on the ground, and the thing that rolled down next to it came into view, causing an uproar!
There are only a few people who know that it is the old thing of the eldest princess of Hongyang, so let's not mention it for the time being. First of all, this item was a gift brought by the Yasukuni envoy this time.
And now, this gift went wrong and hurt the county lord of Yuanyang, who was about to reconcile with Baimeng.
The atmosphere dropped to freezing point for a while, and everyone watched with bated breath as the imperial doctor who treated the wounded and waited for the results. The poisonous needle on the county lord of Yuanyang has been carefully removed, but her heart pulse is getting weaker and weaker. The imperial physician ordered Sun Jingfu to tell everyone: "There is a sudden poison on the fine needle, and the county lord of Yuanyang bears the brunt, with the most poisonous needles on his body, and most of them are pierced in the heart, and the toxin quickly penetrates into the heart...... Others, it's okay to say......"
Ji Erlan and the eldest princess of Hongyang glanced at each other, and a thought came to their hearts, the queen mother really counted everything! The box was opened, although the hidden weapon was indiscriminately shot in all directions, but this poison could be solved, and one or two poisonous needles in the body did not worry about their lives, and the two people who suffered were the two closest people, the eldest princess of Hongyang and the county lord of Yuanyang!
These two people, one is a threat that the Queen Mother can't wait to get rid of. One, is a more advantageous bargaining chip to die than to live!
The eldest princess of Tao An obviously did not think deeply, and like most people's thoughts, she thought that Yasukuni was the most suspicious. She stared at her daughter's gaze and slowly moved to the Yasukuni envoy, and the resentment was almost undisguised. However, she is a princess of a country after all, and it is impossible for her to rush forward and fight the enemy like a woman in the market. She suddenly turned her face like the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, what should be done about this matter?!" ”
Although the emperor's face was solemn, Ji Erlan didn't feel that he was much angry. On the contrary, when this incident happened, Da'an was freed from passivity, and as the lord of a country, he naturally had to breathe a sigh of relief. Of course, the Queen Mother also saw this, so she let go of the arrangement. But now, the emperor needs to show his attitude, he looked at the Yasukuni envoy sharply, and said, "Zhao Zheng, how do you explain to me?!" ”
Zhao Zheng is a principal envoy sent by Yasukuni, and there are two other deputy envoys. The three of them glanced at each other, and their faces were very ugly. Before coming, they naturally expected that the Hundred Alliances would produce moths, so they kept an eye on Nagari and the others early in the morning, ensuring that they would reach their ears as soon as there was any disturbance. But now, something is still going on right under their noses, and so quickly, so suddenly, without warning.
Zhao Zheng stepped forward to pick up the box on the ground, looked at the traces left by the touch, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, when the gifts brought to Da'an from Yasukuni this time were transported to the palace, they were all inspected by the palace attendants. There are no problems. ”
The eldest princess of Hongyang sneered and said, "Don't you know that there are many strange people in this world. You can make a gradual mechanism into a bracket, and you can't touch the mechanism when you open it once, and you need to open it multiple times to see it before it can be triggered? ”
Zhao Zheng didn't expect a woman to have such insight, but he was not an envoy or an incompetent person, so he immediately said: "But these gifts are directly stored in the palace, and the minister has not had any contact with the county lord of Yuanyang." How would you know that the palace would give this thing to the county lord of Yuanyang? ”
Everyone couldn't find a sentence to refute for a while, and the Queen Mother said in a timely manner: "This thing was given to Yuanyang by the mourning family." She personally leaned over to pick up the thing, with a look of remembrance on her face, and said, "Because the mourning family recognizes this thing as an old thing from Hongyang...... wants to return things to their original owners, but they are afraid that Hongyang will be unhappy. I had to borrow Yuan Yang's hand......"
Everyone's eyes turned to the eldest princess of Hongyang for a while. Hongyang's temples suddenly jumped twice, and she secretly scolded the Queen Mother for being despicable and shameless, but she could still put this kind of words on the table without hesitation. In this way, it seems that she was being used without knowing it.
"Didn't the Queen Mother know that there was something in my hand that was not good for you, and she wanted to exchange it for a favor? Hmph, if that's the case, you're in the wrong place. Princess Hongyang spoke unceremoniously and did not give the Queen Mother face at all. The Queen Mother can shamelessly turn conspiracy into a conspiracy, and she is naturally not afraid!
The people around him didn't even dare to gasp when they heard this, and they pressed the shock in their throats. Everyone has a big enmity between the eldest princess of Hongyang and the queen mother, and it is speculated that the eldest princess of Hongyang came back this time to take revenge, however, this is all a matter behind the scenes, who would have thought that the princess of Hongyang would spread out so unabashedly?
The Queen Mother is nominally her queen mother no matter what!
The emperor sank his face and said, "Sister Huang, don't talk nonsense." Let's find a way to save Yuanyang first! ”
The Queen Mother put on a benevolent face, looking like a child is disobedient, and the mother has to defend it. The eldest princess of Hongyang was angry to death, but she had to take care of the safety of the county lord of Yuanyang first, and did not say anything more.
Seeing this situation, Zhao Zheng knew that there were other inside stories in this, and Da'an would not push him too hard. After all, Emperor Da'an knew his own situation, and he had to be relaxed to fight for interests. So he said: "Your Majesty, this matter is still to be investigated, and please give the minister a few days to find out the truth." ”
The eldest princess of Tao An said: "Hmph, others can wait, but how can my daughter's life wait?!" ”
"Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, the gift brought by Yasukuni this time has the effect of renewing life and returning yang! Presumably, it can buy a few days for the county lord of Yuanyang. ”
"Really?" The eldest princess of Tao An immediately came to her senses, and after receiving Zhao Zheng's affirmative reply, she turned her head to look at the emperor. pleaded: "Your Majesty, Yuanyang is your niece, you must save her." ”
The emperor's eyes flickered, the soul rejuvenation pill is actually very precious in Yasukuni, and this time only one was offered, and his body is suffering from frequent illnesses today, so he wants to keep it for emergencies. However, now that everyone is watching, it is the Yasukuni envoy who has brought it up, and he cannot refuse it in any way that is reasonable or reasonable. "Come on, go get the medicine!"
Ji Erlan almost saw that the emperor's heart was dripping blood, which showed that his illness was really not optimistic.
After the lord of Yuanyang County took the Life Continuation Pill, his pulse was really much calmer, and the eldest princess of Tao An breathed a sigh of relief and left with her daughter. Carrying away the poisoned group in the hall, and the banquet could not go on, Nagari first said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, the matter of the death of my Baimeng envoys in your country for no reason has not yet come to fruition, and the county lord of Yuanyang, who is about to make peace with my Baimeng, has suffered an accident and is dying. So, in any case, we will participate in the investigation of this matter. ”
The Emperor muttered, "As it should be. ”
In addition to the Baimeng, Yasukuni is also a party concerned, so naturally it will also participate. But they are outsiders and can only assist in the investigation, and Da'an naturally still has to take the initiative. The emperor's gaze swept over King Du, King Yi, and the ministers one by one, and he frowned slightly. Ji Chenglin stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, it's better to invite Lord Duan." ”
The emperor had a lot of trust in King Duan, and his eyes lit up when he heard the words, how could he forget the emperor's uncle. immediately ordered: "Li Zhonghan, quickly order someone to invite the imperial uncle to the palace." ”
Ji Erlan raised his eyes and glanced at Ji Chenglin, and said in his heart: It was really leading the wolf into the room without knowing it.
