Volume 4 The Clash of Light and Darkness One hundred and twenty-seven, reversal

Seeing that Jada didn't answer, Lawler's face was a little displeased: "What? This is the fruit wine that the Queen Mother's maiden territory has just paid tribute, and the Queen Mother knows that Her Majesty can't drink spirits, so she specially asked me to send it, don't you like it? ”

Jada paused, took the flask, and felt a little resentful that there was no tribute to the wine, and Lawler's attitude was too arrogant, right? He was going to go back and pour the wine he had prepared for the king, and as for the pot of gold and gems in his hand... Hum! Jada pulled the corners of her mouth coldly and turned to leave, but was pulled by Laurer, "Good brother, are you angry?" Don't be like this, the guests at the bottom are not ordinary people, Ai, no matter what conflicts there are between us, they are all internal matters of the Wang family, don't let outsiders see the jokes, don't you say? ”

Jada glanced at everyone, and saw that almost all of them were attracted by the Queen Mother's speech, probably because of the irony in her words, which made some people's faces sink and everyone else looked lively Even so, there were still people who noticed the situation in their corner, and his heart sank when he looked at it frequently, and he knew that Lawler's words also made sense, so he put away the sneer on his face

The Queen Mother ended her speech at this time, and asked the king to raise a glass to all the guests with her, and Lawlor pushed Jada, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty's wine glasses are empty, pour a glass for Your Majesty."

Jada appeared in full view of the jug with the jug, and it was not good to turn back and change the jug in front of everyone, thinking that Lawler had just poured a glass for the Queen Mother with the jug of wine, and it would not be bad for the grandmother who had always loved him and sheltered him, right? Thinking of this, Jada looked at Minter, who was standing not far away, and calmed his heart, poured wine for Gale II, and whispered to Lawler that the wine had been sent by the latter, before stepping aside and standing still

Gale II's eyes flashed, he didn't move, smiled and helped his mother forward, raised his glass to the visitor, and deliberately shook it when he drank it in his mouth, and the wine splashed on his shirt, and only half a cup was down

At the end of the song, the guests left, the major lords and nobles all returned to the city, and the royal family members from other places lived in a few small buildings in a corner of the palace, only a few young sons of Prince Mario, who did not care to accompany the old grandmother, and went back to their own homes, they were busy investigating the background and residence of the noble lady they fancied, and then the marriage of the marriage, coercively coerced, seduced the queen mother a little unhappy, but was soon coaxed by Lawler to keep him in the palace for one night

Minter frowned as he watched the gentlemen leave from afar, he noticed that Prince Mario had disappeared as early as the Queen Mother's speech, and some guests privately commented that he was unhappy to see the regained King being revered, and left early, but Minter felt that things were not so simple, thinking back to what he had just overheard, could Prince Mario be transferred troops?

He was always a little unsteady in his heart, so he turned around to find Jada, just met him head-on, and before he could speak, he was grabbed by the other party and dragged into the corner, avoiding the attendants who came and went, and whispered: "Your Majesty drank half a glass of wine just now, it was given by Prince Lawler, I always feel a little uneasy, can you help me take a look?" ”

Minter followed him to Gale II's room, only to see Gale II just changed into civilian clothes, sat on a chair and drank tea, and smiled when he saw them come in: "I knew that Jada must have been looking for you, I'm fine, but I drank too much wine and was a little dizzy, Lawler shouldn't be so bold"

Minter looked closely at his face and lips, and when he couldn't see anything, he said, "Are there any leftovers?" I'm not a doctor, so how can I tell? ”

"There should be wine left, I remember that the jug was taken by the attendant, and now I look for it, it shouldn't have been washed yet, right?" Jada said and immediately stood up: "I'll go find someone to ask!" ”

Gale II stopped him: "I'm really fine, now I have more important things to do, don't be busy!" He gestured to a stack of papers on the table

Minter glanced at what seemed to be a list on the top, paused and coughed lightly, and when Gael and Jada both looked at him, he smiled and said, "Two big people, please do big things, go and leave these errands to me," he walked over to Gale II and carefully examined the other's nails, skin, and lips, "I don't see any signs of poisoning, but I'm going to look for the flask just to be on the safe side," and as he walked away, he glanced at the stack of papers on the table next to him, remembering the names on the list

When he walked outside the room, he immediately recalled the names, and it seemed that they were all pro-Mario princes, ministers and generals, could it be that Gale II was going to do it?

When he came to the banquet hall, the attendants were still coming and going to pack up their things, so he walked to the place where the precious utensils were placed and checked by himself, remembering that the wine jug seemed to be Jindi, so it should not be put together with ordinary wine utensils, right?

But he couldn't find the pot no matter how he looked for it, but he found the cup used by Gale II and the Queen Mother to drink, but unfortunately it had been washed, he turned to the attendant and asked, but he heard a few waitresses whispering: "Tonight's ball on the ground is really luxurious, the ancestor has never held such a grand ball when he was alive, you see how beautiful these crystal wine cups and silver carved wine jugs from the origin of the Ini origin, I heard that they are treasured by His Majesty the King."

"It's Ai who is really beautiful... But I think the most beautiful and precious thing is the gin jug, with so many red and green gems on it! It's a pity that it's Prince Lawler's land, and he has already taken it with him... I'd love to take a few more looks..."

"Are you talking about the flask that Prince Lawler and Duke Jada used to pour wine at the end of the ball?"

"That's right, that's it, I'm standing next to the podium, I can see it clearly, it's really beautiful"

"It would be a shame if that's what you're talking about, I just saw Prince Lawler take it to the back promenade and throw it into the valley!"

Minter's eyes widened suddenly, and he stopped, and the conversation between the maids continued: "What? Did you mean he dropped that flask down the mountain? Why?! ”

"I don't know, but the pot he brought from his house, has been placed in the small room next to it, no one is allowed to approach it, he specially sent someone to guard, and let his lover come to check on the way, I thought it was a very precious thing, but I didn't expect him to drop it down the mountain"

"Huh? The lover you're talking about, isn't it the dancing one? I heard it's a Weisha? ”

"It's her, it's her, have you seen it? The princess's face is really ugly..."

Minter was not in the mood to listen to their gossip and immediately went up to him and asked, "You said that Prince Lawler dropped the jug down the mountain, where did he throw it?!" ”

The maids were startled, and when they saw that he was dressed as an attendant, they hurriedly saluted, and only then did the eldest one reply, "At the end of the eastern corridor, fifty or sixty meters to the north from the arch of the painted bowl, facing the valley."

Minter immediately turned to the place where she spoke, but the night breeze was blowing on the corridor, and by the light of the room, he could see the dark valley outside the corridor, and the gin jug was long gone, but the railing was still stained with the freshly dried wine, and exuded a faint smell of fruit wine

Mint wondered if Lawler had lost the jug, was there something wrong with the wine? But didn't he pour wine for the Queen Mother in the same pot? Unless... There's something wrong with that pot!

He immediately turned around and returned to the king's temporary bedchamber, which was still twenty or thirty meters away from the palace gate, and saw a large group of people surrounded by black crows, except for some of the guards who were originally in charge of guarding the land, everyone else was somewhat familiar, as if they had come to see the minister of Gale II

Did something happen?

Without saying a word, Mint ignored the shouts of others, and quickly passed through the crowd into the palace, and immediately heard the voice of Prince Lawler: "What else do you have to say?!" When something happened to Your Majesty, you were the only one around, who else did it not you?! ”

Minter was shocked, and hurriedly squeezed into the room, only to see Prince Lawler standing in it with a group of ministers, Gale II half-lying on the bench, his face was blue, he was breathing heavily, his eyes were foggy, and he was obviously delirious, Jada hugged him tightly and glared at Lawler, his eyes were almost spewing fire, and when he saw Minter enter the door, he hurriedly said: "Come and see Your Majesty!" He seems to have been poisoned! ”

Minter rushed over, looked at it a few times, then took out a bottle of magic from the ring, and poured it directly into the mouth of Gale II Laul and said busily: "He wants to poison the king!" Stop him! Immediately, several soldiers stepped forward with weapons, and Jada raised his foot and kicked the leader away: "Who dares to come up?!" ”

Hearing the screams of his companions, the soldiers hesitated and did not dare to come forward, Mint took the opportunity to fill Gale II and drank it, seeing that his face gradually turned pale, and his mind began to sober up and checked it carefully, before he breathed a sigh of relief, and turned back to Jada and said: "It's okay, Your Majesty has drunk that Leaf, but the effect is to be reduced, the reason is that you also know that this time the poison is a little powerful, Your Majesty is just a little affected, and your body will be weak for a while, and there is no big problem"

Jada put his mind at ease, and he was more confident when facing Lawler: "If I want to be unfavorable to Your Majesty, I won't use this stupid method of poisoning, I know that Your Majesty has drunk magic leaves, and ordinary poison can't hurt him, instead of poisoning, it's better to use other ways If you think you can defile me with this, it's a dream!" ”

Lawler's face was a little ugly, and he sneered when he heard this: "Then tell me, who else would it be if it wasn't you?" Is that him? He pointed at Mint and then at the court governor, "Or is it him?" Hmph, who knows what he gave His Majesty to drink? Maybe it's not a solution at all, it's just fooling us! ”

As if to refute his words, Gale II suddenly foamed at the mouth, coughed a few times, gasped for breath, drank another glass of water handed by Mint, and said soberly: "I'm fine, but my heart hurts a little..."

Seeing this, several of the surrounding ministers immediately came up to him crying and shouting at him, including the three people who were trapped in the king's bedroom during the last turmoil, and some of them were not seen by Minter

Lawler's face darkened, and he glanced at the guards, and said sharply to Jada: "Even if Your Majesty is fine, you can't get rid of suspicion!" Until the real murderer is found, I will take you into custody! After a pause, he pulled out a cruel smile: "Don't worry, you are also a child of the royal family no matter what, I will give you a fair trial, as for Your Majesty, I will send more reliable people to take care of it!" With a wave of his hand, the soldiers pressed forward with their knives, and Jada gritted his teeth and slowly touched the bracer of his left hand with his right hand

Minter spoke at this time: "If Duke Jada is suspicious, then His Royal Highness Prince Lawler is also suspicious, right?" At the end of the ball, you handed the Duke a flask and asked him to pour wine for His Majesty, but I have just heard from the ladies that you left the flask down the mountain, and if it is all right, is it not strange that you did so? ”

As soon as he said this, the ministers who had been staring at Jada with suspicion all looked at Prince Lawler, and the three old ministers looked at each other, and one of them whispered: "His Excellency the Duke should be innocent, if he wants to hurt His Majesty the King, there are countless opportunities to do it."

"Isn't it?" Minter interjected coldly, "As long as you use the kind of incense that you lit in the front palace last time to make Your Majesty unconscious, then a pillow will be able to solve it, and the doctor's examination will only say that Your Majesty is suffocated in sleep, isn't it more clever than poisoning?" ”

Everyone shuddered, and the gazes that looked at Minter became strange, and Jada glanced at him even more reproachfully, and one of the old ministers coughed lightly, and raised his voice slightly: "We also feel that His Excellency the Duke will not be unfavorable to His Majesty, His Royal Highness should go to track down the real murderer, and the Duke can also help."

They have always been at odds with Jada, so they were called by Prince LawrΓ¨, but they didn't expect to stand on Jada's side instead, Lawler's face was full of displeasure, and the suspicious eyes of everyone falling on him made him even more angry, and said angrily: "Anyway, he is suspicious!" You guys help him speak, aren't you his accomplices?! Come on, Ai, hurry up and arrest these guys! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a large group of soldiers rushed into the room to surround everyone, and there were also bursts of exclamations and weapons clashing outside the window, and everyone in the room was shocked, and soon a person came in and reported: "Your Highness, it has been controlled"

Lawler showed a satisfied smile: "Very good" He turned his head to look at Jada: "Don't think that you can escape, all your lackeys are controlled by my people, you should surrender obediently" and then glanced at Minter and everyone: "As for your accomplices, I won't let it go easily!" ”

The ministers didn't dare to speak anymore, but the doubts in their hearts became deeper and deeper, and Jeffa sneered: "You just said that you just happened to bring everyone to see Your Majesty to discuss government affairs tomorrow morning, not to mention that it is late at night, the dance has just ended, everyone is very tired, your action itself is very strange, besides, even if you really came to discuss government affairs, why would you bring troops?" And the king's palace guards were armed? Lawler, are you not recruiting yourself? ”

Lawler sneered: "It's useless for you to say anything, now, you are an ant in my hand, I said that you are a murderer, do some people say that you are not?" He glanced at the ministers viciously, and everyone immediately flinched, Prince Mario held a large army, and Prince Lawler was the heart of the Queen Mother, and more than half of the ministers were on their side, and even if the rest were dissatisfied, how could they dare to speak out?

Seeing that the scene was on Prince Lawler's side, Minter frowned, and was about to say something, but heard Jada sneer: "Do you think that after the last turmoil, I will not be prepared for anything, and let you invade here?" ”

"What do you mean?" Lawler squinted his eyes and was about to ask, but he heard someone rushing outside the door to report: "Your Highness! Your Highness! Something happened to the Queen Mother! The Queen Mother was poisoned! Hurry up! ”

"What?!" Lawlor was shocked, as if he had come to his senses, glared at Jada fiercely, and sped out, leaving a group of soldiers looking at each other, not knowing what to do

Minter looked at Jada with wide eyes, only to find that he was also surprised

(Guess how many people are doing here?) οΌ‰
