Chapter 160: Poisoning

Zeguo, after He Xuzhuo was dismissed, he kept his door closed until the night when Lixia gave birth to the prince, He Xuzhuo would see a person, Chen Jidao, the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital.

The two are not only friends, but also in-laws, He Xuzhuo's second son He Yingsheng, married Chen Qiaoshu, the eldest daughter of Chen Jidao.

He Xuzhuo saw that Chen Jidao had only one purpose, to poison Li Xia.

He Xuzhuo said: "And the way, the demon queen is in charge, the relatives are autocratic, and the emperor is not guaranteed, now that the demon queen has given birth to the prince, it is time to get rid of her." ”

Chen Jidao was shocked: "Brother He, this is a big crime to destroy the door!" ”

He Xuzhuo said: "I have been a country for 300 years, how can there ever be such a thing? The demon queen and her unclear brother joined forces inside and outside to coerce the emperor and control the military power and government, haven't you seen it clearly? They are trying to usurp the throne! ”

Chen Jidao frowned, and He Xuzhuo said: "It's just that they want to usurp the crown prince, as long as the prince grows up, the demon queen will inevitably kill the emperor, and Gu Du will support the prince to ascend the throne, so this Zeguo is their Zeguo, and old ministers like you and me will be excluded one by one, or even killed!" ”

He Xuzhuo sighed and said: "When the two of them first came to Zeguo, they said that they would never give up, life and death together, but now one has become a queen and the other has married the county lord, so the layout is already obvious. ”

Chen Jidao frowned and was silent, and He Xuzhuo said again: "As long as the demon queen dies, Gu Du will break an arm, and there is a prince, I don't expect him to rebel, maybe that child is not the emperor's blood at all, the two of them have always eaten and lived together, I'm afraid there has been adultery a long time ago!" ”

Chen Jidao gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, get rid of the demon queen to repay the emperor's kindness!" ”

The next day, the palace maid brought medicine to Lixia, Lixia was just about to reach out to take it, the child suddenly cried loudly, and cried extremely fiercely, Lixia didn't know why, and hurriedly hugged and coaxed, but the child was crying breathlessly, and the palace maid could only put the medicine bowl on the case first.

After coaxing for a while, the child stopped crying, the palace maid picked up the medicine bowl again, her hand shook, the medicine shook out, and sprinkled it on her hand, the palace maid didn't think much about it, licked the medicine juice on her hand, and then handed the medicine bowl to Lixia.

Li Xia stretched out her hand to take the medicine bowl, and as soon as her fingers touched the medicine bowl, the palace maid suddenly let go of her hand, and the medicine bowl fell to the ground, and the palace maid knelt down holding her stomach, and then her mouth and nose bled and fell to the ground.

In the Tiger Roaring Mountain camp, Gu Du was meditating, Feng Jiu walked in and called softly, "Master." ”

Gu Du didn't open his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Feng Jiu said: "Six hundred miles urgent." ”

Gu Duwei frowned, opened his eyes, Feng Jiu handed the bamboo tube to Gu Du, Gu Du opened the seal, poured out the paperwork, after reading it, the sword eyebrows were upside down, folded the paperwork into his arms, and said: "Hold on to the camp, I want to go back to China." ”

Leaving the camp, Gu Du hugged Dongfang Xia Lan tightly and said to Mo Xuan: "Mo Xuan, you run faster, someone poisoned Li Xia." ”

"What?" Dongfang Xia Lan turned her face to look at Gu Du in amazement, and Mo Xuan ran wildly.

In the palace of Zeguo, Emperor Ze was furious, glared at Lixia and shouted, "Why can't I deal with it?" Why do you have to come back to deal with it? I am the Emperor! It's your husband too! Can't I call the shots for you? ”

Li Xia looked at him and didn't speak, and Zedi shouted again: "You don't always suspect that I let people poison you, right?" ”

Lixia still looked at him and didn't speak, and Zedi frowned.

After a pause, Rexia asked, "Is that enough?" ”

Emperor Ze pursed his lips and sighed, and Lixia said, "Come and sit down." ”

Zedi walked over to the edge of the bed and sat down, looking at her.

Li Xia said in a low voice: "You are the Holy Lord of Renjun, the wicked should let our brothers and sisters do it, besides, since you dare to poison me, he is not afraid that you will deal with him, and even he will say, this is for Zeguo, for the emperor You, as long as you can get rid of me, the demon queen, the country of Baoze, he will die without regrets." ”

"But if he dies in your hands, others will not be afraid, they will only say that you were coerced by my brother and sister and had to kill loyal ministers, and someone will poison me in the future."

"Let my brother come back to deal with it, although some people will think that you were coerced, but after all, you didn't do it yourself, so you won't lose people's hearts, and my brother is much more brutal than you, he will deal with it, so as to set an example."

Zedi sighed, frowned and said, "How can this be, why don't they understand?" ”

Lixia held his hand, turned his face over, looked into his eyes and said: "My brother and sister are always outsiders, I occupy you, my brother is in charge of the army, they are afraid, afraid that my brother and sister will kill you, support the emperor, and usurp the throne and seize the country." ”

Emperor Ze sighed, turned around, hugged Lixia in his arms, quietly wept, choked up and said, "It's all useless for me." ”

Li Xia pillowed on his neck and said: "You are not useless, the Holy Lord of Renjun has always looked easy to deceive, but as long as there are strong ministers to protect the country, you will definitely return to the heart of the world, and you will eventually become a generation of Ming Monarch Holy Lord, leaving a name in history and being praised for eternity." ”

Emperor Ze hugged her tightly and said angrily: "But they wronged you, they still want to kill you, I panicked in my heart." ”

Lixia stroked his chest and said, "People are alive, they will always be angry, just open it yourself, you can choose a concubine." ”

Zedi was stunned for a moment and reprimanded: "What nonsense? I never thought of choosing a concubine. ”

Lixia smiled and said: "I didn't say you want to, but you have to do it, only by choosing a concubine can you eliminate my notoriety of dominating you, and can you ease the courtiers' hatred of me, this is no way, who made you the emperor." ”

Emperor Ze shook his head and said, "Uncle Guo will not agree." ”

Lixia said: "Listen to what you said, you are the emperor, he is the uncle, the choice of concubines is a matter of the palace, he is a foreign minister, it is his turn to agree or not?" Could it be that in your heart, is he a traitor who supports the army and blackmails the master? ”

Zedi frowned and said, "That's not what I meant. ”

Li Xia stroked his face and said with a smile: "I know, but my brother is not a reckless man, he will not persuade you to choose a concubine, because he is my brother, so I naturally hope that you can stay with me for a long time." But if you really want to choose a concubine, he will not object, because you are the emperor and he is a subordinate. ”

Zedi was silent for a moment and said, "But I don't want to choose a concubine." ”

Li Xia said angrily: "You must choose, I will choose when my brother finishes dealing with the poisoning, this matter is decided!" ”

Gu Du returned to the imperial city and went directly to the palace to meet the driver, Dongfang Xia Lan asked him softly: "Don't you need to transfer troops?" ”

Gu Du replied: "See the emperor, I'm not here to admonish the soldiers, I'm here to talk to the emperor about the power to dispose of." ”

Wei Qing, the chamberlain, walked over quickly and saluted Gu Du, "Uncle Guo, the emperor summoned you to meet in the inner hall." ”
