Chapter 366: A plan within a plan
Later, the two of them discussed many strategies to make this plan perfectly implemented.
After the discussion, Mo Yufei left, and asked Mo Jingli to wait for news here.
At this time, the emperor in the palace suddenly became seriously ill and asked Imperial Doctor Mu to come and check.
"Imperial Doctor Mu, what's wrong with me, why is it getting more and more serious. Look at what's in this medicine. Mo Cheng said suspiciously.
Hearing this, Imperial Physician Mu stepped forward to check and found that there was indeed something different in the soup. Tempting with a silver needle, asking about the smell. I knew that it was a poppy.
Thinking of this, he glanced at Mo Cheng in horror, and said tremblingly: "Back to the emperor, Weichen checked, there are poppies in this decoction, which can make people addicted." ”
When Mo Cheng heard this, he was immediately afraid. Who the hell is secretly drugged. So, he called someone to check, but after careful investigation, no result was found in this matter.
However, Imperial Physician Wang didn't know what was wrong, he looked at Imperial Physician Mu with a trace of doubt in his heart.
"Imperial Physician Mu, it's been a long time since you saw the emperor like this. You treated the emperor the most before, what is the situation of our emperor. Imperial Physician Wang pretended not to be distracted and asked.
Hearing this, Imperial Physician Mu didn't want to deal with him. It's better not to speak at this time, otherwise if you talk too much, you will be more wrong.
Seeing that he didn't care about himself, Imperial Physician Wang felt more and more that he must know something, so he asked him to quietly knock him out and take him to Qi Meiren's house.
He was then woken up by splashing him with water and began to torture him. But no matter how you ask, scare, and torture. This Imperial Physician Mu just didn't say a word.
In desperation, I couldn't find out. I had to kill him. It's better that this kind of thing doesn't leave a bane.
Subsequently, Mo Cheng quietly issued a holy decree that the goods entering and leaving the palace must be inspected, otherwise they cannot enter or exit.
Looking at the formation at the gate of the palace, Qi Meiren was a little confused, and she didn't know what was going on.
So, she stepped forward and stopped one of the guards, and said, "You see you are working so hard, and you are still on duty here on this hot day." But why are there so many of you today? ”
"Hui beauty, this is the emperor's will, and we can't reveal it." I saw this guard clutching his head, a little at a loss.
"Look at you, I will tease you, I know the emperor's will. I'm just going to see if you can keep your mouth shut. Kimi pretended to know the truth and jokingly said.
Hearing this, the guard was even more embarrassed. "Yes, yes, you are the emperor's favorite concubine, how can you not know that there is a mistake in your humble position, please forgive me."
"Oh, it's okay, get up." With that, Kimi pulled the guard up. "I'm a good talker. It's okay. ”
Hearing this, the guard said respectfully, "Thank you, Qi Meiren." ”
"It's okay, it's just that it's hard for you to check here." Qi Mei said tentatively.
Her words, instead of arousing the suspicion of the guards, made the guards think that she knew the decree.
So, he said unabashedly: "It's okay, it's an honor for the minister to do his duty for the emperor." It's just that there are more goods in and out today, and it's a little troublesome to check. It's okay, in a few days, find out the source of the opium poppy, and we won't have to look at the import and export goods. As he spoke, he smiled at Qi Meiren.
In just a few words, the Qimei people knew that the emperor was investigating the source of the poppy.
After she returned, she hurriedly wrote to Mo Yufei and informed him that Mo Cheng was looking for the source of the poppy.
On the other hand, Imperial Physician Wang made a false report that Imperial Physician Mu had something to do.
As the emperor's illness worsened, Mo Yufei was not idle. He quietly came to Qimei and ordered something.
"Master, why did you come in person. Something. Seeing Mo Yufei, Qi Meiren was a little panicked. He came in person, and there must have been something important.
"Yes." Mo Yufei first sighed, then looked around, and only after making sure that there was no one did he continue to speak. "This king came this time to let you increase the amount of poppy in your father's decoction."
"What, enlarge." The sudden command surprised Qi Meiren a lot.
Looking at how frightened Qi Meiren was, Mo Yufei sneered: "Why, don't dare." ”
"However, the emperor is already looking for the source of the opium poppy." Qimei asked, puzzled.
"It's okay, increase the dose. In this way, we can force my father to abdicate earlier, and we don't have to take risks. I saw that Mo Yufei's eyes were fierce, and his body exuded a cold aura.
Listening, Qimei nodded, and said yes.
However, they didn't expect that just when they didn't notice it, Tian Xiao came over, and she was outside the window, hearing their plan clearly.
Thinking that Mo Yufei laughed at his face at the beginning, Tian Xiao was very unhappy in his heart. Now is a good opportunity for revenge, and I will not miss it.
She glanced inside coldly and walked out quietly. Thinking about this, she could only tell Concubine Wan, and only Concubine Wan could help herself.
No, she came to Wenhuan Palace in a hurry. "Niangniang, the concubine has something I want to tell."
"What's the matter that makes you so in such a hurry? Now the subordinates have also gone out. Go ahead. Concubine Wan looked at Tian Xiao with a blank face, a little curious.
"Niangniang, just now the concubine overheard that His Royal Highness the King of Sui asked Qi Meiren to secretly increase the amount of poppy in the decoction for the emperor. They wanted to force the emperor to abdicate. Tian Xiao said cautiously.
Looking at Tian Xiao's appearance, Concubine Wan felt that it was not fake, but she couldn't tell the reason why Tian Xiao betrayed Mo Yufei.
"Tian Xiao, this matter is a capital crime of killing the head, just one sentence of yours makes me believe, it is a little unrealistic." After staying in the palace for a long time, Concubine Wan was also a little worried. In this world, you can only believe in yourself.
I saw that Tian Xiaogang wanted to explain, but Concubine Wan interrupted her again.
"Besides, you are the princess of the King of Sui, and now come and tell me that he is going to rebel, do you think I may believe it?" Concubine Wan looked at Tian Xiao directly like this, which made her a little uncomfortable.
Actually, what Concubine Wan said is right, how can she prove it with just one sentence.
"Niangniang, concubines have long been rare for this princess. How I lived in the palace, I believe the informant had already told Niangniang. Besides, you are my relative, so there is a saying that if you don't help your relatives, you will become an outsider. Tian Xiao said lightly about his situation at this time, as well as his inner thoughts.
Concubine Wan listened and did not reply. Think quietly in your heart. That's right, Tian Xiao's situation, her informant has already returned, I'm afraid that she is willing to cooperate with her, because she wants to take revenge.
"You want revenge?" A short but very meaningful sentence, just like that.
Looking at Concubine Wan, Tian Xiao nodded, and said indignantly: "Yes, take revenge." I'm going to make him apologize at my feet. ”
Such a Tian Xiao had never been seen by Concubine Wan, and she surprised Concubine Wan. But soon Concubine Wan accepted it.
The two of them hurriedly told Mo Cheng that Tian Xiao repeated the plan he had just heard. It's just that Mo Yufei is omitted. She wanted Mo Cheng to find out for herself.
In addition, Concubine Wan added oil and vinegar to the side, and soon Mo Cheng believed it. For Qi Meiren, Mo Cheng was originally quite relieved, but now he has endless disgust and hatred.
Since ancient times, almost every emperor has stepped on the blood of his relatives to ascend to this supreme position.
"Hmph, slut. Since you want to poison me, don't blame me for being ruthless. As he spoke, he saw that Mo Cheng's eyes were fierce, which made people tremble.
Later, they discussed the defense plan, and Mo Cheng wanted to give Mo Yufei a plan, so that not only would there be evidence, but also the prototype.
In the afternoon, Qi Meiren walked to Mo Cheng's dormitory. The servant standing at the door smiled and saluted: "Beauty, you are here." The emperor has been waiting for you for a long time. ”
Listening to the words of the next person, Qi Meiren's heart blossomed, and she thought that Mo Cheng missed herself. This is all the more indicative of the role of opium poppy medicine.
"Hongu knows, let's go in." As he spoke, he went in with the maid on the side.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Mo Cheng sitting on a chair and looking at her, how cold and cold his eyes were. But this Qi Mei didn't see it, thinking that Mo Cheng was waiting for her here.
"The concubines see the emperor, and the emperor is safe." The delicate voice makes people feel numb all over the body.
"Flat body love concubine." Mo Cheng smiled and asked her to get up, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes.
"Your Majesty, the concubine misses you." As he spoke, he bumped into Mo Cheng's arms, but Mo Cheng pretended to be inadvertent, and then dodged. looked at the lunch box held by the maid behind him.
"What a good thing my concubine brought me." He asked, pointing to the lunch box.
"Back to the emperor, this is the decoction prepared for you by the concubine." As he spoke, he asked the maid to bring it out. Mo Cheng took a closer look, and sure enough, it was the one he usually drank.
"Someone." The sudden order left Kimi a little blindsided. At this time, a group of guards suddenly surrounded and snatched the medicine in their hands.
"Your Majesty, what's the matter?" Qimi asked, pretending not to know.
Mo Cheng snorted coldly and did not speak, and then sat back in his chair. asked Qi Mei who was behind the scenes, but Qi Mei didn't say anything anyway.
"Hmph, don't you say it. I'll see if you can stand up to this flowing torture instrument. As he spoke, he let people torture Qimei.
However, Qimei just swore to the death and refused to say a word. But the torture instrument also caused great damage to her, and she was in pain and wanted to bite her tongue and kill herself. Suddenly, a guard found out the clue and stepped forward to organize her.
In this way, Qimei committed suicide without success.
And Luan Meiren, who is often with Qi Meiren, waited for a long time, and did not see Qi Meiren, and she was a little panicked. She was worried, so she wanted to go to Mo Cheng's dormitory to find her.
She asked the guard standing outside the door if she had seen Kimi, and the guard looked at her thoughtfully. Then under the pretext of asking her to wait, she went to report to Mo Cheng.
It's a pity that when the guards came out, they brought a bunch of people with them. In this way, Luan Meiren was also arrested.
The guards sent Luan Meiren into the dungeon, and the moment she entered, she saw Qi Meiren, whom she was worried about.
At this time, Qimeiren also looked at her, and when she came in, Qimeiren knew that she had been exposed. At this time, there was no hope in her heart.
And the guards on the side came up to catch Qi Meiren, and they were about to do it.
