Chapter 602: The Prince's Hole Cards
Back at home, Mu Jiu was not at ease, so he followed the example of the crown princess and quietly asked Zero to send Li Xiaotao and Qiuqiu out and send them to Sun Zeyun's Zhuangzi.
It was late at night, and there was silence all around, and the occasional dog barking came from the alley, but it seemed miserable.
Mu Hongli had returned, and the siblings were sitting opposite each other, around the fire.
"Sister, you go to sleep first, maybe you won't do it until tomorrow night."
Mu Jiu shook his head, "Brother Ankang's people have also noticed that today is very different, if Xia Qingyu uses poison to deal with the emperor, I am a big obstacle, plus he hates me so much, he will definitely do it to me first." ”
"That's why you should have a good rest, in case he comes, you can also cheer up and deal with it!"
Xiaomi sat in another position, "Master, you can rest assured to go to sleep, I'm here." ”
Mu Xuan was also recalled and sat next to Xiaomi, "Yes, young master, you have to rest first." ”
Mu Jiu picked up the tongs and pulled the charcoal, "Xia Qingyu's people have the fine work of Nanluo Kingdom, maybe they will use poison." ”
Only her nose is the most sensitive, and she can sniff out whether there is poison in the air for the first time.
Hearing this, the others didn't dare to ask Mu Jiu to sleep anymore, but everyone talked to each other together to refresh themselves.
……
In the palace, Emperor Xia looked at Xia Qingyu who suddenly appeared in front of him in disbelief, and his beard trembled with anger, "Yu'er, I have never treated you badly, why do you want to rebel!" ”
The queen was right next to him, covered in blood and dying.
Two quarters of an hour ago, he suddenly came to him, all kinds of nonsense, just not to let Concubine Lan get close, and not even to drink the ginseng soup cooked by Concubine Lan.
He quarreled with the queen, and the queen picked up Concubine Lan's ginseng soup and drank it in one gulp, and it didn't take long for her to be poisoned.
He was furious, and then watched the queen take out the antidote pill given by Mu Jiu and eat it, and regained her vitality.
In the future, when he had time to deal with Concubine Lan, Xia Qingyu attacked.
Everything happened so suddenly, Emperor Xia couldn't even believe it, watching Concubine Lan pull out a dagger and stab at him, it was the queen who blocked a knife for him!
Xia Qingyu took the long sword and pointed at Emperor Xia Yuan, "Father, you said that you have never treated me badly, but compared to the crown prince, what did you give me?" ”
Emperor Xia closed his eyes, and then opened them, his eyes full of pain, "Yu'er, this is the reason for your rebellion?" ”
"Since I was a child, you have taught me to be independent, and I have to fight for what I want, and the throne is also what I want, so I fought for it, father, for the sake of our father and son, you give me the throne, and be an emperor with peace of mind, everything is easy to say." Xia Qingyu was proud, looked around, after tonight, this Heart Nourishing Hall was his!
"What if I don't agree?" Emperor Xia held the queen for a rare time and protected her behind him, "What are you going to do to me?" ”
"Father, don't worry, you are my father, I will not kill my father, but what about the people you killed for the throne before, there is no guarantee that their descendants will not do it."
The last bit of hope in Emperor Xia's eyes was shattered, "Why?" Is the throne more important to you than family affection? ”
"Hahaha......" Xia Qingyu laughed madly as if he was looking at a joke, "Father, you have been an emperor for more than 20 years, don't tell me, you don't know how ruthless the emperor's family is!" ”
"Yu'er, you are wrong, if you didn't have family affection, you would have died in the hands of the prince a long time ago." Emperor Xia seemed to have aged a few years all of a sudden, and he didn't even have the energy to speak, "Put down the sword, and I will treat it as if nothing happened tonight." ”
"Father, do you think it's still possible?" Xia Qingyu's long sword took a step forward, "In order to win the support of the ministers, I have exhausted all my family property, put down the sword, will you let me continue to be my second prince?" I will be like the third brother, I will become a commoner and have nothing! ”
Emperor Xia shook his head, "No, you are still your second prince, living a life of fine clothes and food." ”
"Father, don't lie to me, when I put down my sword, you will arrest me immediately!" He doesn't want to follow in the footsteps of Xia Qingbi, don't be an ordinary person who is obsessed with the world, that is more uncomfortable than death!
"Yu'er, put down the sword, I mean what I say!" Emperor Xia looked at Xia Qingyu with a heartache, and couldn't figure out how his gentle and well-behaved son could become like this.
"Father, do you love me?" Xia Qingyu was also in pain, he found that the throne was within reach, but he couldn't be happy.
"What do you say? Of course I love you. "Emperor Xia used me, not me, he wanted to tell Xia Qingyu that he was just an ordinary father.
Xia Qingyu seemed to suddenly realize that he had been deceived, his emotions were uncontrollable, his long sword stabbed forward, and he roared like crazy, "No, you only love the prince!" You beat him, scolded him, and criticized him, but you never did this to me and my third brother, because you love him, and you pin all your hopes on him!
In your eyes, my third brother and I are just dispensable sons, and the crown prince is your carefully cultivated son, your favorite son! ”
Emperor Xia held the queen and dodged the tip of Xia Qingyu's sword, the pain in his eyes finally turned into disappointment, but he didn't say anything, just quietly watched Xia Qingyu accuse him, and watched the sharp long sword dangling in front of his eyes.
The action of holding the queen and hiding backwards stung Xia Qingyu's eyes even more, "Father, do you have our mother and son in your eyes?" ”
Concubine Lan stood behind Xia Qingyu, her eyes red as blood, "Yu'er, don't talk nonsense with them, kill them, and you will ascend the throne in three days!" ”
"Father, don't blame me, you forced me." Xia Qingyu didn't stab with a sword, and another sword stabbed at Emperor Xia Dong
Emperor Xia was too old to be an opponent, and seeing that the tip of the sword was only a little bit away from him, he closed his eyes.
"Bang-"
Just when Emperor Xia thought that he would not escape, the sound of metal colliding sounded in his ears, and when he opened his eyes again, he saw that a figure only as tall as a child had kicked Xia Qingyu over and guarded him in front of him.
The shadow guard he gave to the crown prince!
A shadow guard who is short in stature but very strong in combat!
"You ......"
"It's too late to save the driver, please punish the emperor!" The shadow immediately knelt down on one knee, and had no intention of chasing Xia Qingyu anymore.
"How did you get back? Why don't you follow the prince? ”
"Back to the emperor, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was worried about your safety before leaving, so he left the humble post behind, and asked the emperor to forgive the sin, in fact, the humble post has been near the palace, the prince has an order, and he must not let the emperor know until he has to do so."
"Why?" Emperor Xia suddenly felt that he had failed a little, his two sons rebelled, and he was a little unable to see through the only orthodox son.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that you sent him to protect him, if you see me, you must think that there is no one around him to protect him, and you will definitely be worried, he doesn't want you to worry!"
Emperor Xia was a little sluggish.
The queen's face changed greatly, "You are here, then who will protect my heaven?" ”
The shadow said, "There are still a few masters around His Highness, and His Highness is working hard to practice martial arts, so self-preservation is not a problem." ”
The queen fainted from blood loss.
Xia Qingyu got up and snorted coldly, "I'm really good at acting!" ”
Concubine Lan helped Xia Qingyu, "It's so hypocritical! ”
The shadow stared at the two defensively, preventing the two of them from suddenly attacking again.
Emperor Xia didn't see the movements of these people, and suddenly shouted, "Someone! Find a doctor! Call Mu Jiu! ”
But he screamed for a while, and did not see the town.
The shadow said, "Your Majesty, many people have been bought, and the outside is controlled by his people, and the lowly position can only protect the emperor here." ”
"You ......"
"But before leaving, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince borrowed a goshawk from Lin Changsheng, and he found out that something was wrong and asked the goshawk to bring the news out, it is estimated that the Sun family's army will arrive soon, and the emperor will hold on for a while."
Everything is explained quite logically.
Concubine Lan said to Xia Qingyu, "Yu'er, order your people to come in, don't let the Sun family's army come!" ”
"Someone!"
Xia Qingyu shouted outside the Heart Cultivation Palace, "A few people!" ”
But he shouted for a while, but no one came in, and there was a dead silence outside, as if everyone had disappeared strangely.
An inexplicable sense of fear crept up on his back, and he yelled frantically, "Someone! Come! ”
But there was still dead silence outside.
I don't know how long I waited before I heard a gentle footstep from far to near.
Xia Qingyu was overjoyed, and the person finally came.
But it was Xiao Chengzi who ran in panting, "Your Majesty, the slave is late, please forgive me!" ”
"I'm curing your sin when I turn around, hurry up and call Mu Jiu, the queen is injured!"
"Slaves can't get out!" Xiao Chengzi cried with a sad face, "Your Majesty, why don't you go and call Imperial Doctor Bai first?" ”
It's okay if the imperial doctor can come, Emperor Xia Dong urged, "Don't hurry up yet!" ”
"Minions, let's go!" Xiao Chengzi ran away again out of breath.
Xia Qingyu wanted to pick up the long sword on the ground and assassinate Emperor Xia Fang again, but he was kicked away by the shadow.
The shadow didn't hit him either, but only took the long sword in his hand and didn't let him have a chance to make contact.
The two sides confronted each other like this.
Not long after, Bai Sheng rushed in with a medical box on his back, "Weichen see the emperor!" ”
"Excuse me, hurry up and show the queen how her injuries are!"
Bai Sheng immediately checked the queen's pulse and prescribed another prescription, "Your Majesty, Niangniang is bleeding too much, this is medicine to stop bleeding, there is a difference between men and women, please ...... the emperor"
Emperor Xia had already snatched the medicine bottle, and poured a whole bottle of medicine on the queen's wound, and the blood on her wound finally stopped.
Bai Sheng wiped the sweat on his forehead, breathed a sigh of relief, and handed Emperor Xia a ball of cotton, "The emperor will cover the wound of the queen mother first, and there will be a chance to find the uncle to clean up the mother, and Weichen will go to the imperial pharmacy to grab the medicine first." ”
Bai Sheng ran away with a medical kit on his back, and Emperor Xia saw Xiao Chengzi running in with a weak heart, as if he had come back from a fight, his whole body was sweating, and he didn't even have the basic rules, and he sat on the ground without any image and gasped.
