Although he was declared into the palace because of Mo Yaqi's poisoning, Ao Bai still had some doubts in his heart, he made some arrangements, and only then entered the palace with a few cronies, after all, the foreign woman congratulated the concubine on her birthday, and it was time to leave the palace, and they entered the palace, just in time to take people out.

When he entered the palace, Ao Bai took out the gilded pocket watch in his heart and looked at it, it was already the beginning of Shen Shichu, it stands to reason that the foreign wives who entered the palace to celebrate their birthdays at this time should have left the palace one after another, but there was no movement at all, so he asked his younger brother Mulima: "In the palace today, what is abnormal?" ”

Mulima is the general of Jingxi, the first-class Ashani Hafan, in charge of the palace guards, heard his brother ask himself, thought for a moment and said: "There is no difference between peace and day, but the emperor said that this is the birthday of the concubine, he didn't care about Buku in the morning, and he felt that he was not energetic, so he went to Yuqing Palace first, please wait for a while after you enter the palace." ”

The emperor has been addicted to playing Buku in the past few years, and the courtiers know that Ao Bai didn't think much about it, and asked Mulima casually: "Didn't you say that Kubilong has returned to Beijing from Wuhu?" Did the emperor announce that he was driving? ”

"It's announced, Grandpa Kupilon won't enter the palace until later."

It sounded like everything was no different from a normal day, and the palace looked very calm, but Ao Bai still had a feeling of fright, that feeling, just like when he was on the battlefield, he suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck, and after turning his head, he found that the enemy general's knife almost cut off his head.

"Is there anything special over there in Yuqing Palace? Are there any additional guards? Ao Bai asked cautiously.

"I only went to check it out for myself a quarter of an hour ago, and it's the same as usual." Mu Lima said, "Except for a few little eunuchs on duty, there are only two guards on duty. I haven't received any requests for more manpower. ”

Hearing Mulima say this, Bambulshan and Asha, who entered the palace with Aobai, felt that he was too careful, and Bambulshan smiled and said: "Lord Zhongtang, this palace has been replaced by our people inside and out, and it will definitely keep the emperor safe, don't worry." ”

The palace is full of their people, of course, not only to protect the emperor, but also to grasp the emperor's movements, but the words must not be so thorough, and they can understand each other a little bit.

Asiha smiled knowingly: "It's just right, with the poisoning of Mo Yaqi, Lord Zhongtang asked the emperor to take a good look at this inner palace and replace all those who are not long-sighted and disobedient." ”

When they arrived at the Qianqing Palace, they waited for two quarters of an hour, but they didn't see the emperor coming, but waited for a small chamberlain, bowed down and respectfully said to Aobai: "The emperor invited Lord Zhongtang to go to Yuqing Palace, saying that it was a matter involving female dependents, and after discussing with you over there, it was convenient to directly interrogate the suspect and vent his anger for Qigege." ”

After speaking, the little eunuch also smiled at Ao Bai flatteringly: "The slave wants to congratulate Lord Zhongtang, the emperor said that Qigege danced well, and he was frightened, and gave a full body of many sons and many blessings jade Ruyi to Qigege, even the queen Zhongtang Lord congratulated the emperor, saying that there are more nobles in this palace......"

Ao Bai was originally a little suspicious, but when he heard this, he felt a little more happy in his heart, and proudly glanced at the little eunuch: "Count you smart, look at the reward." ”

He took out his purse from his sleeve and stuffed it with a gold coin for the little eunuch.

The little eunuch smiled more and more flatteringly, and said obediently: "Being able to say a word to Lord Zhongtang is the blessing of a slave, how dare you ask for another reward!" Lord Xie Zhongtang rewarded him generously. ”

Seeing that Ao Bai was going to Yuqing Palace, Bambulshan and Asiha glanced at each other, and then said: "Lord Zhongtang, how can Qigege enter the palace and suffer such a big crime, can a noble name make up for it?" The emperor must feel sorry for you at this time, you have to talk to the emperor for a while, that Qigege also grew up with us, born as delicate as a flower, suffered this big crime, even his life was almost lost, it is necessary to find out the murderer and appease him well. ”

Ao Bai's brows furrowed slightly: "How can the old man be the one who relies on women to rise to power?" Okay, stay here, I'll go to Yuqing Palace to have a look! ”

Flicking his sleeves, Ao Bai proudly followed the little eunuch to Yuqing Palace.

After the assassination of Bamburshan, Ao Bai wore the golden silk soft armor of Siam tribute everywhere, the soft armor was invulnerable, under the court clothes, there were eight small flying knives with cold light on the special waist, this time into the palace, he also hid two iron ring rulers in his sleeves, so fully armed, and then heard that the palace did not increase the defense, thinking that the inside and outside were his own people, plus his natural divine power, that is, he went to Yuqing Palace alone, and he was not afraid at all.

Even so, Ao Bai still ordered Mu Lima and a dozen of his cronies and guards to accompany him with swords, and it was just in time to take the emperor back to the Qianqing Palace to discuss with Kupilon.

As soon as they entered the hanging flower gate of Yuqing Palace, Mu Lima and the others were blocked: "General Mu, the emperor only summoned Ao Zhongtang, you wait outside first." ”

"Presumptuous, they are guards on duty, and it is their duty to inspect all palaces and halls."

It was the first time that Ao Bai saw Tai Lin, the person who dared to stop him, and glared at the guards of Yuqing Palace.

"Ao Zhongtang, come quickly, the emperor will call you." Sizhen, who was dressed in eunuch clothes, came out of the gate of Yuqing Palace and stood under the verandah to call for worship.

She was wearing the costume of a eunuch, and her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her eyes were like autumn water, and she looked exceptionally bright.

Ao Bai smiled and waved his hand at Sizhen, and then whispered to Mulima: "You are waiting here, if I don't come out in two moments, go to Cining Palace to find the Empress Dowager." ”

Even if the little emperor wanted to do something to him and held the empress dowager hostage, he was not afraid of what the little emperor would be able to stir up.

Mu Lima panicked when he heard this: "Brother, is there something wrong?" ”

Ao Bai frowned and said, "There's nothing wrong, just in case." I guess it's the emperor and those little companions who don't have fun playing Buku, and they want me to play with him, hmph, I'm afraid I haven't fallen enough last two times! ”

Mu Lima was relieved when he heard it, the emperor had also played Buku with his brother before, and those little companions were all up, none of them were his brother's opponents, although the guards of Yuqing Palace were not directly in charge of him, but they didn't dare to disobey his orders, which would stop him, but I was afraid that the emperor was afraid that others would see him fall down.

The wind is calm, the sky is high, there is really nothing to worry about.

As soon as he entered Yuqing Palace, Sizhen sent away all the people who were waiting around him, and let his henchmen guard at the door.

"Ao Zhongtang, please come over, not because the emperor wants to play with any Buku, but because the emperor has also been poisoned, and like Qigege, it is numb bones, and there is also a kind of incense burning in the emperor's palace, which strengthens the effectiveness of that numb bones, and the emperor is no longer awake...... So please Ao Zhongtang enter the palace to get an idea. ”

didn't wait for Ao Bai to feel that the door of the temple was a little strange when it was closed, and Sizhen's straight words suddenly made him look erect.

"Sure enough, something is wrong here...... Who got it? How could even the emperor be poisoned? ”

"I haven't found out yet. According to her, it was because she hugged the child she gave birth to to the eldest princess Kechun, so she wanted to use this birthday banquet to make the eldest princess Kechun suffer some sins and couldn't take care of the child, so she could return it to her...... It's just a matter of wives and concubines competing for favor. ”

Sizhen smiled bitterly and said: "If I hadn't reminded the queen mother to send someone to invite you into the palace to get an idea, I'm afraid that there would be a big mess at this time, Ao Zhongtang, what the empress dowager and the emperor can rely on is your several auxiliary ministers, and Grandpa Kupilon can also enter the palace in a while, you have to think of a foolproof strategy." The emperor has no heirs yet, and if it is known that he is not awake, those princes are afraid that they will be ready to move. ”

Ao Bai was stunned, and when he heard that the Empress Dowager valued him so much, his heart warmed up for two points, and he said in a low voice: "Can you see what clues you have?" ”

Sizhen shook his head, looked at Ao Bai and sighed softly: "I have read the pulse cases and prescriptions of the Tai Hospital, most of the drugs are for the effect of calming the mind and sleeping, saying that it is to let the emperor fall asleep at this time, slow down the poisonous blood into the heart, the Tai Doctor also said that if you don't get the right medicine for two days, I am afraid that you will wake up later, and you will have muscle weakness...... They only know how to treat the numb bone powder, but they don't know what medicine to use to eradicate the hemp bone powder mixed with Mi Luo incense! ”

"It is said that it is the incense lit in the hall, and there seems to be nothing wrong with it in ordinary times, that is, the effect of calming the mind and calming the mind, but when it comes to numbness, it becomes a deadly poison, and I really can't do it, so I asked the empress dowager to let Ao Zhongtang enter the palace to discuss."

Ao Bai looked at Sizhen's expression and asked, "What about the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager?" ”

"I'm afraid of causing panic, I don't dare to let too many people know that the Queen Mother will accompany the Queen Mother in Cining Palace, the Queen Mother and the eldest princess Kechun are comforting the foreign women, so as not to startle the snake. Ao Zhongtang, you have an idea, what should I do about this? Sizhen eagerly grabbed Aobai's sleeve.

Ao Bai Wenyan comforted her and said: "In this case, I immediately arranged for someone to summon a famous doctor outside the palace to show the emperor, and there may be a method in them that the imperial doctor does not know." Then let people take those dog things in the palace and torture them fiercely, and they are not afraid that they will not be able to ask a bright hall. It's really not possible, hold a court meeting again, and ask the royal family to decide! ”

"I'm afraid it's too late—" Sizhen said in a panic when she heard something.

Someone walked over, apparently stopped by the maid at the door.

"Princess Kezhen, Lord Ao Zhongtang ......" The palace maid's words stopped abruptly before she finished speaking.

The sound outside was as if someone was leading the soldiers in fine iron armor, and the armor collided with each other, making a clanging sound.

The sound of neat footsteps came step by step!

Ao Bai and Sizhen glanced at each other and stood up.

One stumbled, and Sizhen sat on the ground.

"Lord Zhongtang, Lord Zhongtang......" Sizhen couldn't stop trembling, she took Ao Bai's hand, and said in a panic: "Ao Zhongtang, we, we...... What should I do? Listening to the voice outside, could it be that someone heard that the emperor was in distress and brought soldiers to force the palace? Perhaps, the emperor's poison was given by that person, and they wanted to cooperate with the outside and rebel! ”
