Chapter 92: The Edict
Xu was because she finally compromised, which made Song Yuanmin feel very good, and ordered the palace maids to come in and dress up for them, change into clean clothes, and then led them out of the side hall.
Xia Taozhi insisted on taking Begonia with her, she was really afraid, afraid that once they separated, something terrible would happen.
The guards of the East Pole Hall have only increased compared to the previous few days, and the atmosphere has become more tense.
The strange thing is that Song Yuanmin did not order anyone to escort them away, and everything seems to be the same as before. The palace maids and attendants still saluted when they saw Xia Taozhi, and there was nothing abnormal. When she stepped into the main hall, she happened to see Emperor Chu's meals delivered from the imperial dining room, rich and varied, full of color, flavor, and flavor. But how can a person who is already too sick to move eat these foods? But looking at the expressions of the palace maids in the imperial dining room, they didn't seem to know anything about Emperor Chu's serious illness.
She had a strange feeling that the people outside didn't know what was going on in the East Pole Temple. Could it be that Song Yuanmin deliberately blocked the news? Whether Emperor Chu is critically ill or her charge of killing the king, it is all kept secret. Just like what the master said last night, Song Yuanmin made it clear that he wanted to kill the king and seize the throne, but he hadn't killed Emperor Chu yet, so he must be jealous.
What was he afraid of? What are you waiting for?
When I entered the dormitory, the strong smell of medicine came to my nose. Emperor Chu was still lying motionless on the dragon bed with his eyes closed, his face looked even more ugly than a few days ago, pale and blue, and his lips were not bloody at all. There were only two imperial doctors and a few palace maids waiting beside the bed, all of them with solemn expressions, and they all seemed to be Song Yuanmin's people.
Song Yuanmin waved them to retreat, and said to Xia Taozhi: "Brother and sister, this king will give you a stick of incense, you have something to say quickly, and after that, let's go and get down to business." However, this king's ugly words are in the past, you had better be honest, if you play any tricks, don't blame this king for turning his face and being ruthless! ”
She said, "Don't worry, I'll just say a few words, and I'll leave after that." Now that the lives of our master and servant are in your hands, even if I want to do something, I have nothing to do. Besides, I just want to live. ”
Song Yuanmin glanced at her, "This king doesn't dare to forgive you." ”
She ignored Song Yuanmin, walked to the bed in a few steps, and knelt down. I had already said that the smell of medicine in the hall was too strong, and the smoke made people's noses sour, and she called out her mouth: "Father, ......" Tears immediately poured out.
"Father, can you hear me......
"Father, wake up, Father......"
"Father...... The concubine was wronged...... The concubine did not poison you...... You wake up, open your eyes, and look at ......"
She really felt wronged, crying and crying, the more she cried, the more she cried, the more she pounced, and burst into tears: "Father...... The concubine didn't poison you...... Concubines were wronged...... Father, wake up, Father, ......"
That's the phrase that comes and goes.
She could feel Song Yuanmin's gaze staring at her for a moment, like a thorn hanging behind her, so that she didn't dare to act rashly.
She couldn't help but be secretly anxious in her heart, she only had time for a stick of incense, what should she do?
At this moment, someone outside the hall suddenly reported, saying that Xiao Hu, the Marquis of Ningguo, asked to see him, and Song Yuanmin walked out of the dormitory. She took the opportunity to quickly stuff a pill into Emperor Chu's mouth.
Master said that Emperor Chu was not really seriously ill, but was poisoned, needless to say that it must have been poisoned by Concubine Shu and Song Yuanmin. Although this poison is ferocious, it is not difficult to solve, as long as you eat the antidote, after twelve hours, you will wake up. Therefore, she pretended to come to visit Emperor Chu, but in fact, she wanted to take the opportunity to feed Emperor Chu to eat the antidote, as long as Emperor Chu woke up, Song Yuanmin would naturally stop cooking!
Before she could congratulate herself on her success, she heard Song Yuanmin outside the hall shouting: "Really?!" There was a thick ecstasy in his voice, and there was a feeling of madness.
What is the news that makes Song Yuanmin so happy?! Xia Taozhi's heart was a little uneasy, the news that made him happy must not be good news.
The next moment, Song Yuanmin strode directly into the dormitory, followed by Xiao Hu. The look on Song Yuanmin's face was ecstatic that Xia Taozhi had never seen before, she was so surprised that she even forgot to pretend to cry, and just looked at Song Yuanmin walking up to her in a daze.
"Brother and sister, this king has news, do you want to hear it......"
"I don't want to hear it." Xia Taozhi subconsciously refused, and her heart tightened.
Song Yuanmin said: "This king thinks that it is better for my younger brothers and sisters to listen to it, this is an urgent report from Gyeongju." ”
Gyeongju ...... Tsundere Prince......
“…… What's wrong with my husband?! Xia Taozhi stood up nervously, her legs were a little weak, and she fell backwards, but fortunately, Haitang helped her. Begonia's hands were also trembling, frighteningly cold.
Song Yuanmin looked at her, with a look of pity on his face, but his eyes were full of cruel pleasure: "The third emperor's brother was unfortunately infected with the plague as soon as he arrived in Gyeongju, and he wanted to return to Beijing but encountered a riot of the people, and unfortunately died, and he has already died. Brother and sister, mourn ......"
Thundered......
It was as if there was a heavenly thunderbolt that struck Xia Taozhi's heavenly spirit cover, splitting her to the ground, her eyes were black, and she fell directly to the ground.
No way......
Even the tsundere prince is dead?!
How could he die?! Impossible, she didn't believe it! How could the Xuanjia God of War die?!
In a trance, she had an extremely unreal feeling, as if she was in a nightmare, everything was so unreal that she couldn't believe it at all.
"...... Niangniang...... "Begonia called her twice urgently, squatted down to help her.
She sat motionless, her expression glazed and her eyes hollow.
Begonia is also injured, although last night's Qingyin Taoist medicine temporarily protected her heart, but her skin injuries are also very serious, this squatting and pulling, some wounds are cracked again, blood seeps out.
Her heart was also full of grief, unable to accept this sudden bad news, her trembling body was weak and weak, she didn't help herself up, and she fell to the ground.
This is probably the most satisfying time in Song Yuanmin's life.
What His Royal Highness the Prince? What Eastern Chu Martial God? From childhood to adulthood, he was the only one who was nothing, caught between his shining eldest brother and third emperor brother, struggling to survive in the cracks. No matter how hard he tried, his father would not look at him more, let alone the position of the prince, for him, it was like looking at the moon in the fog, out of reach. finally waited for the prince to fall off the horse, he thought that God was on his side after all this time, but what he didn't expect was that the prince who was favored by his father would be the most undesirable wild seed disease seedling in the past! It made him unbearable any longer!
Aunt Huang is right, some things may hang above your head, if you don't stretch out your hand, you will never have a chance with you, if you stretch out your hand, maybe it's yours!
Now his two brothers, one in exile and the other dead, only he has the last laugh! To him, the high-ranking Ninety-Five Supreme is like a thing in his pocket, and he can get it at his fingertips!
At this time, there was another rumor, and the lady lady arrived!
Concubine Shu's face was full of red light and spring breeze, and she had obviously received the news. She was followed by Xue Cheng, and Xue Cheng was holding something in his hand and walked cautiously.
"My son, the edict has been drafted, as long as the jade seal is stamped, you will be a righteous prince."
She glanced at Xue Cheng, Xue Cheng presented the thing in her hand, Song Yuanmin took it and looked at it a few times, and the smile on her face was even worse.
"This edict is very well drafted, the handwriting is really the same as my father and the emperor, Ah Cheng is reliable, this king can rest assured."
The expression on Xue Cheng's face was faint, his head hung lower, and he looked very humble, and Song Yuanmin was even more satisfied. He ascended the throne as the new emperor one day, and it was indispensable to reward him vigorously, although Xue Cheng was young but very powerful, and there was a family behind him to support him. I want to come to Xue Cheng to join him, so it is also his family, so it is good, people with ambition and desire are best controlled.
Concubine Shu urged: "Quickly take out the jade seal and cover it." ”
Song Yuanmin nodded, handed the edict back to Xue Cheng, reached into his wide sleeve, and carefully took out a brocade box. The brocade box was opened, and inside was the jade seal of Da Chu. This jade seal, which only the Son of Heaven can own and use, has already fallen into the hands of Song Yuanmin.
When the group came to the table, Xue Cheng put the edict on the table, stretched out his hand to press it firmly, and Song Yuanmin solemnly left the imperial seal in the blank space.
"It's done!"
Concubine Shu couldn't help but applaud, and her well-maintained face smiled like a girl.
Xiao Hu, the old fox, had been standing aside and didn't speak just now, but at this time he knelt down directly, bowed solemnly to Song Yuanmin, and said respectfully: "The old minister knocks on His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
Xue Cheng had no choice but to kneel down and bow to Song Yuanmin with a gourd painting scoop.
Song Yuanmin helped Xiao Hu with a hand, waved Xue Cheng up, and then said, "...... It's too early for the two to worship this king, and now this king is not the crown prince, and it is ...... to complete the great gift and announce it to the world."
Xiao Hu said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is too modest, you should not give up the position of the prince, the old minister has long recognized that you are the former Ming Jun of my Great Chu." From now on, the old minister will definitely swear allegiance to His Royal Highness the Prince, and there will be no two hearts! ”
Xue Cheng was so annoyed in his heart! And the end?! But he couldn't show it, and he quickly followed to show his loyalty.
"Old Marquis Xiao, you are the elder of the Three Dynasties, and this ceremony of establishing the prince will bother you to be in charge."
Xiao Hu responded: "Thank you His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for his trust in the old minister, the old minister will definitely live up to his mission." With that, he glanced at Xue Cheng with disdain from the corner of his eye. As early as the beginning, he was very dissatisfied with this Xue Cheng, and when his elder Xue Huaiyuan was still there, he was still able to fight with him. He Xue Cheng is something, the yellow-haired boy has not dried up, even if he has made a few contributions, in the heart of His Royal Highness the Prince, he still can't be compared with him, the old ministers of the three dynasties.
Xue Cheng ignored him and hung his head silently.
