Chapter 776: The Second Prince Was Poisoned
Li Wei raised his head and suddenly saw that Xia Qing's expression was wrong, and then he realized that what he had just said was a little inappropriate.
He knows Xia Qing, Xia Qing shouldn't suspect that he has colluded with King Jing, right?
He hurriedly said what he thought in his heart, otherwise the two had a misunderstanding, and I am afraid that it would be difficult to become one heart in the future.
Li Wei stayed in Xia Qing's mansion for two hours, and only hurried back to the mansion before the curfew was about to fall.
He thought that he had dispelled Xia Qing's suspicions, so he went back with confidence.
"Mr. Ho! You're right! Levi has gone to the Lord. Xia Qing sighed and sighed to He Zhongkuan.
He Zhongkuan walked out of the inner room and saluted. Under the cover of the robe, the corners of his lips couldn't stop rising.
The study room of King Jing's mansion was as bright as day, and several lamps were lit in the room.
Suddenly, Xiao Chengzi entered the study.
"Lord Wang! There is news of spies. He handed a small bamboo tube to King Jing, who pulled out the paper in the bamboo tube and glanced at it quickly.
Immediately, he laughed and was in a good mood.
"Very well, the fish has been hooked, and there is more than one."
The next day, news suddenly came out of the second prince's mansion, saying that the second prince had been poisoned and was in danger.
This incident caused an uproar in the DPRK, and even Gu Chengyu was surprised, which seemed to be too anxious.
"Senior brother, do you say this news is true?" Gu Chengyu dispersed, and went straight to the senior brother's mansion, and met the second senior brother Wu An, who also came.
"I don't know! At this juncture, will the second prince really be poisoned? ”
Yin Kun frowned and shook his head, there are still three days before the establishment of the prince's ceremony, but the second prince was poisoned. No matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with several princes.
"There are still three days, if the second prince can't wake up in these days, how can the ceremony be held?"
Wu An walked back and forth in the study, obviously worried.
Gu Chengyu thought about it and felt that this matter was a little strange.
"Since the emperor has appointed the second prince as the crown prince, there should be a lot of guards around him, and he should be a lot more careful than in the past. It stands to reason that it shouldn't be so easy to be tricked, how could the second prince be so careless? Senior brother, do you know how it was poisoned? ”
"It is said that I thought that the more favored concubine had done it, and the person had been caught, but he still refused to confess the mastermind behind the scenes."
Yin Kun's news is naturally better than them, but I don't know if this news is true or false.
"How is the second prince now? What is the emperor's attitude? Will the ceremony be held as scheduled? ”
Gu Chengyu immediately thought of the key point, and only after knowing the emperor's attitude could he figure out the truth of this matter.
"The emperor was furious at the court meeting and was about to find out the murderer and let him be punished by the five horses. The murder of the crown prince is a heinous and unforgivable crime. As for the ceremony, the emperor did not respond, although the Ministry of Rites proposed, but the emperor did not express his position, then they could only continue to prepare. ”
"The imperial doctor has already diagnosed and treated, and said that it was Hedinghong. But the second prince estimated that he didn't eat much, otherwise he would have ...... He is still in a coma. ”
Yin Kun looked at Gu Chengyu, who was sitting on the side, and found that after the other party pondered, his expression relaxed.
Wu An also stroked his beard and sighed: "The second prince is unconscious, and I don't know if the ceremony can be held as scheduled." The emperor's attitude is also a little strange and intriguing. ”
This time, Gu Chengyu agreed with Wu An's point of view, "The second senior brother is right, the emperor has not canceled the ceremony, so it is impossible to say that the second prince will be cured by that day." What the hell is said about this matter, we will see in about two days, we just have to wait for the result. ”
Needless to say, this must be done by other princes, maybe there is more than one, it depends on who will take the blame in the end.
Of course, it is not ruled out that the second prince is a bitter man. But at this juncture, it is not very likely that this kind of scheme will be used.
The most important thing now is the ceremony of establishing the prince, the second prince is already the crown prince, as long as he guarantees that there will be no accidents before the ceremony, then he has to burn high incense.
Where else can I take this opportunity to plot against other princes? Isn't he afraid that the crown prince's position will fly away? Besides, it's not easy to hide from the emperor.
So if you want to clean up these brothers, then there will be opportunities in the future, what should you do in a hurry?
"Which prince do you think did this?" There were no outsiders here, so Yin Kun simply asked Gu Chengyu directly.
Gu Chengyu shook his head, "It's hard to say, I think it's possible for any of them, maybe they're all involved!" After all, some people like to hide in the dark, step on the opportunity to step on it, and get out unharmed afterwards. ”
The person Gu Chengyu was referring to was not just King Jing, he found that these princes were worthy of being brothers, and these conspiracies and tricks made it perfect.
Wu An was thoughtful, "I think it's very likely to be the eldest prince, the emperor valued him so much before, but in the end he chose the second prince, can the eldest prince be willing?" Remove the second prince, and the eldest prince has the greatest chance of becoming the crown prince. ”
Regarding Wu An's statement, although Gu Chengyu felt that it made sense, this matter was by no means so simple.
"The second prince was poisoned, and the first person everyone suspected was the eldest prince. Under such circumstances, is it still possible for the eldest prince to do this? This is unknown. But I don't think the eldest prince is so stupid, even if he does it, he will definitely not let people find out anything. ”
"So, don't you think it's the eldest prince?" Yin Kun asked suspiciously.
"Nope! I didn't say it wasn't him, I meant it was very unlikely that it would be him. Of course, this is just my speculation, and I think it is more likely that it is the third prince. ”
Gu Chengyu had carefully analyzed the temperament of the three princes in his heart just now, and the first thing to exclude was King Jing.
It's not that King Jing can't meddle in this matter, but because King Jing is good at borrowing strength, he won't do it himself.
And even if there is no second prince, there will be the eldest prince and the third prince! It was never his turn to become the crown prince.
Therefore, why should he do such a thankless task, it is completely unnecessary.
However, it is one that can eradicate one, so King Jing may have made a push behind his back.
Back to the third prince, this person is impulsive and irritable, although he is a little clever and likes to calculate behind his back, but self-righteousness is also his shortcoming.
The second prince is about to become the crown prince, how can the third prince not be in a hurry? I can't say that he has already made a move, and he has calculated which prince he is, and he is complacent at the moment!
But who is a fool from the government and the opposition? Judging from the battles between the princes in the past, the strategy of the three princes is still worse than that of the eldest prince.
In addition, the emperor still has some affection for the eldest prince, and he will always prefer a little bit in his heart.
So in the end, he came to the conclusion that the third prince was more likely to be pushed out of the top tank.
