Chapter 143: King Zhen dies
Wei Qianlan returned to the imperial city with the dying King Zhen and the seriously injured Mo Yang.
When the emperor got the news, he immediately summoned all the imperial doctors in the palace to enter the Qinzheng Hall for treatment.
In less than half an hour, the entire hall was filled with the emperor's angry voice.
"If you can't save King Zhen, I want you to be buried with you."
Wei Qianlan and the other princes and concubines were waiting outside, and when they heard the roar coming from inside, everyone retreated and did not dare to approach.
"Do you think our eldest prince can live?" The fourth prince Wei Yifan whispered in the ear of the fifth prince Wei Luofeng.
The fifth prince, Wei Luofeng, made a shushing gesture at the four princes beside him, "Fourth Emperor Brother, don't talk yet." ”
Wei Qianlan was next to them, and naturally when he heard the words of the fourth prince, he was in a hurry and wanted to go back to the house at the moment, so he glanced at them coldly, "What do you say, be careful that the emperor hears it." ”
The fourth prince and the fifth prince immediately closed their mouths after being taught a lesson by Emperor Lan in a low voice.
The fifth prince hesitated, bent down slightly, approached King Lan and said, "Uncle Lanhuang, where did you find the eldest imperial brother?" ”
Wei Qianlan looked at the princes, concubines, and ministers with a calm face, they all wanted to know like the five princes, but now he answered everyone's curious eyes with silence.
He sneered in his heart, his eyes had already observed everyone, whose eyes were full of joy, whose eyes were full of curiosity, all fell into his eyes.
"Uncle Lanhuang, why don't you speak?" Seeing that Uncle Lan was silent and did not speak, the fourth prince continued to ask again.
Wei Qianlan was also silent in the face of the fourth prince's further questioning.
Immediately afterwards, the emperor's sad roar came out again from inside, "King Zhen! ”
"Husband!"
Wen Xia stepped into the hall with the child in her arms, and when she heard the emperor's sad voice, she almost fell, but fortunately, the palace maid next to her hugged her and the child in time.
"Sister-in-law, do you hold on?" The fifth prince took the child from Wen Xia's hand and comforted her.
Wen Xia rushed into the inner hall desperately, "Husband." ”
From inside, there was the heart-rending cry of Princess Zhen, and then, all of them saw Feng Junyu leading the imperial doctors out one after another, bowing their heads one by one, and kneeling side by side outside the main hall.
Then, the emperor walked out with the support of Chang Gonggong, the whole person was old, and the hair on his sideburns turned a lot gray.
Wei Qianlan greeted him, "Your Majesty." ”
The emperor waved his hand, and King Chonglan said, "King Lan, I want to know the specific situation, and I want to find the murderer to avenge King Zhen." ”
"Okay, Your Majesty."
"Father, you have to take care of your health."
As soon as Wei Qianlan's words spoke, the four princes rushed up and grabbed Chang
With the support of his father-in-law, his eyes noticed the tiger talisman clenched in the palm of the emperor's hand.
Seeing this, the fifth prince could only temporarily push King Lan aside and comfort the emperor, "Father, the fourth emperor brother is right, you take care of your health." ”
The emperor glanced at the concubines and princes who came around, and said humbly, "You all stand down, I have something to say to King Lan." ”
Wei Qianlan glanced at Feng Junyu and the others who were kneeling outside, and reminded the emperor, "Your Majesty, you better let them all step down, it's not their fault." ”
Hearing King Lan's words, the emperor turned around with a calm face, "Feng Junyu, go back with all your people." ”
"Thank the emperor for not killing him." Feng Junyu led the crowd to bow to the emperor's grace of not killing.
Wei Qianlan squinted slightly at Shangfeng Junyu's calm gaze, and there was a trace of suspicion in his heart.
"Get out of here, I want to be clean for a while." The emperor's roar came from the inner hall on the other side.
Everyone got up and hurriedly exited the main hall.
Wei Qianlan followed the emperor's footsteps into the inner hall.
The emperor motioned to Chang Gonggong to wait outside, and only when he saw the door closed, did he speak: "Who did it?" ”
Wei Qianlan faced the emperor's questioning, and he didn't intend to hide it, and said bluntly, "Qin Zixu and King Qing." ”
Crash!
The emperor's arm swept down the tea and folds on the table.
"I knew it was him, Wei Tingtang, this brute, did he really dare to do it? Queen, Situ Jiazhen will not let go of any of them. The emperor clenched his fists on the table, and his old face became much more hideous.
Wei Qianlan continued, "Your Majesty, the minister is not in the court, but I still want to say a word that cares about the court. ”
The emperor didn't mind, "When is King Lan now, you can say it." ”
With the emperor's words, Wei Qianlan put his mind at ease and said, "Your Majesty, judging from the cooperation between Qin Zixu and King Qing, war is inevitable. Now that King Zhen has passed away, the courtiers who support King Qing will become more and more rampant, you see if you can take measures as soon as possible. ”
"That's right." The emperor agreed with King Lan's suggestion. "King Lan, I'll tell you the truth, now I don't believe anyone, only you, the imperial brother."
"Thank you for your trust." Wei Qianlan said that Emperor Xie trusted him, but he knew in his heart that the emperor didn't believe anyone.
The emperor thought for a moment and remembered, "How is your subordinate Mo Yang?" ”
"His injuries are not light, and the minister has ordered someone to send him back to the palace for treatment." It was hard for Wei Qianlan to imagine that if he was late for a stick of incense, Mo Yang would definitely come back with no life, who would be too ruthless.
"When he is healed, I will reward him."
"The minister will tell him that if the emperor doesn't ask anything else, the minister will return to the house, and you may also know that Ning Yan has not been good lately." When Wei Qianlan took King Zhen into the palace, he had already seen the palace at the palace gate
's housekeeper learned the news of Ning Yan's return to Qiu's house.
The emperor was in no mood to continue to ask at the moment, so he could only agree first, "Okay, I've worked hard for you, let's go back first." ”
"The minister retired."
Wei Qianlan went directly to Qiu's house.
When I arrived at Qiu's house, I realized that my princess had been in the secret room for a day and a night.
Granny Qiuyue saw that it was King Lan who came, so she let her go and opened the secret room.
Entering the secret room, Wei Qianlan saw the sleeping princess lying on the Hanyu bed, and he hurriedly rushed over to pick up the person on the Hanyu bed.
"Ning Yan, are you okay?"
Gu Ningyan woke up in a drowsiness, opened his eyes and saw Wei Qianlan, stretched out his hand and slowly attached to the face in front of him, "Back?" How's it going? ”
Wei Qianlan shook Gu Ningyan's hand and smiled back, "I'm fine, don't worry, does the cold jade bed have an effect on you?" ”
"It can alleviate the delay of the black prison poison in my body."
"You lie down and rest, I'll go find the Holy Underworld right away." Wei Qianlan put down Gu Ningyan and was about to go to the Holy Immortal to get the antidote.
It was Gu Ningyan who quickly grabbed his arm, "Don't worry, listen to me, Granny Qiuyue found a record about the black prison in the Qiu family's classics, and she is waiting for you to come back and find your sleeping phoenix to collect blood." ”
After listening to the words of his own princess, Wei Qianlan's heart finally relaxed, "You mean that phoenix blood can save you?" ”
"Specifically, I have to ask Granny Qiuyue, I was too tired to hear clearly." Gu Ningyan pushed Wei Qianlan out to ask Qiuyue's mother-in-law.
With the good news, Wei Qianlan was naturally happy, and after appeasing Gu Ningyan, she hurriedly went out to find Qiuyue's mother-in-law to ask for clarification.
The news that King Zhen was attacked and killed on the way back also spread throughout the streets and alleys of the imperial city.
The people of the Imperial City regretted the loss of a guard in the Imperial City, some regretted, but some were excited.
At this time, in the Qingwang Mansion, Wei Tingtang was drinking celebratory wine with the four princes and the other two ministers.
"Brother Qinghuang, we did a really beautiful job this time, but I'm sorry for King Zhen." The fourth prince took the wine and said to King Qing with a smile and the other two ministers.
King Qing slapped his palms and slapped the table excitedly, "Happy, oops, it's really happy." ”
"Brother Qinghuang, you are right, our current mood can only be explained by the word happy." The fourth prince picked up King Qing's words.
King Qing saluted the wine of the person in front of him again, and said disappointedly, "It's a pity that I accompanied my mother to Ciguang Temple today, otherwise I would have been able to see such a happy scene." ”
The fourth prince suddenly had an idea and remembered something, "Brother Qinghuang, there is one more thing, I saw Uncle Lan Huang who was holding the tiger talisman in his father's father's arms. ”
For the Tiger Fu Qingwang, he immediately became interested, "Are you sure you saw it?" ”
"King Qing, the minister also noticed that the emperor was holding a tiger talisman in his hand."
"Lord Zuo is right." Another minister followed suit.
Wei Tingtang thought for a moment, and then asked, "Then did you see Uncle Lan Huang holding a tiger talisman when he came out?" ”
The three of them shook their heads one after another, indicating no.
"Father must be in a hurry to find the murderer to avenge the eldest brother, and we must find a scapegoat as soon as possible." Wei Tingtang was very worried that the emperor would find out something at the moment, and he had to find a scaperogate as soon as possible to divert the emperor's attention.
The fourth prince Wei Yifan assured very confidently, "Brother Qingwang, don't you have Qin Zixu of Southern Qin, these are not things we worry about." ”
Wei Tingtang personally picked up the wine jug and poured wine for the three of them.
Flattered, the three got up and took their drinks.
"Fourth Emperor Brother, now that we have encountered obstacles, Gu Ningyan has run away, Qin Zixu is furious, and he is not willing to cooperate at all."
Wei Tingtang suddenly scolded, "Damn, do you say that this Gu Ningyan is too fateful, so that she can escape." ”
Wei Tingtang was not worried about this, but had to laugh insidiously, "Don't worry, Gu Ningyan is afraid that this time he will be more than lucky." ”
The fourth prince raised his eyebrows happily, "That's good, Brother Qinghuang, you can relax, now the biggest obstacle has been removed, let's wait for the good news." ”
"The fourth prince is right, but the ministers think it is still necessary to send it
People are staring at Princess Lan, we all know her skills. ”
"Lord Luo is right." Lord Zuo nodded again and again, agreeing with Lord Luo's suggestion.
Wei Tingtang beckoned, and Liu Zi, a subordinate outside, immediately rushed in. He whispered a few words in his men's ears. "Go as the king commands."
Liu Zi received the order and left in a hurry.
The four princes and the two ministers glanced at each other and didn't ask again. "What is the result of the queen mother and Concubine Su going to Ciguang Temple today?"
It's okay not to mention it, this time King Tiqing was angry again, "The queen mother suspected Concubine Su, and took someone to observe it for a day, and there was nothing strange at all, is it wrong to suspect it?" ”
"Excessive perfection is flawed."
Lord Zuo slipped down, and the eyes of the three people present fell on him one after another.
Wei Tingtang patted Lord Zuo on the shoulder, "Lord Zuo, you are worthy of being a scholar, this head is faster than this king." ”
