As soon as the words fell, nearly a hundred guards flashed out of the hall like ghosts. Originally, these people were ambushed by Emperor Xuanwu for fear that Mu Xuefu would be unfavorable to him, but he didn't want to use it on his son today.

Jing Qian panicked instantly, his cheeks twitched, and he sneered: "Father and Emperor have long expected that there will be today, so I specially invited my son into the urn." ”

"If you had followed the rules and kept your duty, you wouldn't be where you are today." Emperor Xuanwu's voice was very slow and low, as if it was like a gossamer, but it could clearly fall into everyone's ears.

No emperor can tolerate his son forcing the palace. He was heartbroken and saddened. Father, emperor, the two identities are superimposed, like two shackles, firmly locking him and suffocating him.

The secret guards around the emperor were all carefully cultivated, and the people brought by King Huai were subdued after dividing them by two.

Jing Qian was pressed on his shoulders and knelt on the ground, he struggled to break free, and his face was full of anger, "Jiang is still old and spicy, and his son is convinced, and he wants to fight and kill him." ”

Seeing that he was still stubborn, Emperor Xuanwu frowned, "Are you still unconvinced?" ”

His guilt and responsibility add up to capital crimes, but at this time, Emperor Xuanwu couldn't bear it. He is already old, but there are fewer and fewer children around him, Jingzong, Wuwu, Jingxuan, one by one, have left him. He didn't want to lose another son.

Jing Qian knelt on the ground softly, his heart was like ashes, and he smiled bitterly: "Obey, surrender." ”

He was too naïve, thinking that in this way he could drive straight in and force his father to abdicate and make way for Xian. In fact, my father had been prepared for a long time, just waiting for someone to come. Or, in order to support Jingyu to ascend the throne, his father wanted to take the lead in finding the stumbling block and helping him get rid of it, and he also received the news that his father had made Jingyu the crown prince and had issued an edict. This news formed the reason for his desperate decision today, perhaps······ Or maybe this news was sent by the father to the emperor, just to lure him into the bait.

He was so stupid, stupid that he would drill into the trap set by others.

But he doesn't regret it, life is a gamble, but he lost the bet. He's not a gambler who can't afford to lose, he admits it.

Qin Huaiyu swept away the confident appearance before, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy, "The emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life, Weichen will do such a thing because he is blinded by King Huai, the emperor spares his life." ”

He was humble and trembling, like a wretched worm lying on the ground, his forehead was bleeding, and he still prayed like a beggar.

Emperor Xuanwu didn't even look at him, and said coldly: "Qin Huaiyu doesn't admire Jun's grace, he is a courtier in vain, colludes with King Huai to force the palace, and corrects the law on the spot." ”

Under the order, Qin Huaiyu didn't have time to speak again, the cold light flashed, and his head fell to the ground like a rolling ball, which frightened the women present to scream continuously.

The blood that spurted from his neck splattered King Huai's body, and his entire side face was also covered with blood. The blood was still warm and hot, spraying on the face and burning the skin. He wiped it with his hand, and his hand was covered with blood, and there were fine blood blisters.

Emperor Xuanwu stroked his forehead with one hand, pressed his chest with the other, his lips were pale, as if he couldn't breathe, "I really feel sorry for you, and they all come to force me, and they all come to fight against me." ”

He tried to breathe, but his chest hurt more and more, "Just like you just said, you can just accept it." After relieving his breath, he said sadly: "Jing Qian, the fifth son of the emperor, forced the palace to rebel, this crime is unforgivable, but I remember that he was bewitched by the rebel minister Qin Huaiyu to do such a thing that is contrary to human ethics and forgive him for his capital crime." ”

King Huai looked at him suddenly, his eyes wide in disbelief. I only heard him continue: "But the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped, and King Huai will be imprisoned in the Wenyuan Pavilion from now on, without his will, and his eternal life will not be able to come out again." Concubine Li, burdened by her son, took away her title, was demoted to a talented person, and moved to Yushatang after returning to the palace, and she was not allowed to go out without a call. The rest of those who followed King Huai's rebellion were killed without mercy. ”

Emperor Xuanwu was resolute and ruthless to others, but he was extremely generous to the mother and son of the king. Although he imprisoned King Huai, he did not deprive him of the throne, and although he put Concubine Shu under house arrest, he did not enter the cold palace.

Not only King Huai was shocked, but everyone was surprised. It turned out that Emperor Xuanwu, who had always been decisive in killing, would now soften his heart, perhaps, he was really old.

Emperor Xuanwu ignored the obscure gazes of others, waved his hand, and asked people to take King Huai down.

The hall was quiet, just experienced this change, who is still in the mood to eat, drink and have fun, all sit quietly in their seats silently, watching the inner waiter Lisuo quickly clean and decorate the hall.

"Your Majesty, drink a cup of tea to dissipate your anger." Xu Shou stood beside Emperor Xuanwu with low eyebrows, holding him a cup of tea.

Emperor Xuanwu took it and drank it all, "I'm not angry, I'm sad." All of them are my beloved and trusted sons, but they all use me as a stepping stone, and they all want to step on me to ascend to the throne. I-I'm really-ah-I'm so uncomfortable-"

As he spoke, suddenly, Emperor Xuanwu covered his pain, his face was full of pain, and a trace of crystalline blood-red liquid overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

The imperial concubine was closest to him, and when she saw him lying on top of her in pain and convulsions, she was frightened and frightened, and shouted: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you, Your Majesty?" ”

The queen also panicked, and her mind, which had just stabilized, rushed to the top of her head as if she was soaring into the sky, and said in a panic: "Quick, Imperial Doctor!" Quick, Doctor! She took a handkerchief to wipe the corners of Emperor Xuanwu's mouth, trembling, and her forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

The Taiyi's footsteps were fast, and several people rushed up the steps, but they didn't have time to move to the apse, and hurriedly checked the pulse of Emperor Xuanwu.

After taking turns to diagnose the pulse, several people said that it was poisoning.

The queen was already colorless, had no idea, and couldn't say anything for a while. Or the imperial concubine was shrewd, and immediately asked people to check all kinds of things that the emperor ate.

In the end, the imperial physician found the source of the poison in the last tea used by Emperor Xuanwu.

Emperor Xuanwu's heart was like an ant and biting wildly, one at a time, without a break. He leaned on the shoulder of the imperial concubine, his face was iron and pale, and a pair of blood-colored eyes shot at everyone like jackals, and roared angrily: "Who wants to harm me? ”

Zhang Yu, who was specially serving the emperor, pierced the silver needle into Emperor Xuanwu's Hegu acupoint, muttered to the imperial doctors, knelt on the ground and replied: "The emperor's poison is accumulated over time. His gray beard was like a snow-covered branch after snow, as if he was shivering from the freezing weather, "I'm afraid, I'm afraid the emperor—"

He didn't dare to continue, and in the end he just shook his head and said nothing.

Emperor Xuanwu frowned, a sweet smell in his throat arched upward, and a mouthful of blood flowed down his jaw, dripping into his bright yellow embroidered dragon's head placket.

The queen's legs were weak and she almost couldn't stand, and the maids around her hurriedly supported her. Her eyes were split, and she clenched her palms tightly, "Check it out to this palace, who is so bold that he dares to poison the emperor, how can this tea be mixed with poison!" ”

His heart was torn apart one by one, as if a hand was pulling out all the blood vessels involved in the heart, and Emperor Xuanwu looked extremely painful, and the green tendons on his forehead were almost breaking through the thin cortex. At first glance, he looked at Xu Shou with fierce eyes.

What he eats and drinks must pass through Xu Shou's hands, and when he arrives in front of him, he must be checked before he is given a drink.

"Xu Shou, was it you who poisoned you?" Emperor Xuanwu remembered that he had always been distressed recently, although it was only a short time or two, but each time it was longer than the last. Originally, I thought it was caused by the last serious illness that had not healed, and I had not rested well recently, but now that I think about it, it turns out that this poison has been taken by him unknowingly.

His eyes were unusually bright, "It must be you." ”

At this point, everyone was even more confused. Xu Shou is a person who has followed the emperor for many years, and to say something indecent, Xu Shou and the emperor's intimacy are more intimate than that of the emperor and the ladies of the palace.

Besides, Xu Shou is attached to the emperor, and it is unbelievable to say that he poisoned the emperor.

Unexpectedly, Xu Shou suddenly smiled, helpless and desperate, and sneered: "The slave also treats his people in the way of others, didn't the emperor just let the lord of Rongqi feed King Yu to drink this poison?" Now the minions also use the same poison and the same way to give it to the emperor, I wonder what the emperor thinks it tastes like? ”

The county lord of Rongqi is Jing Wanqi's title, and Xu Shou calls her the county lord, not Princess Yu.

When Jing Rong heard this, his face instantly turned black as the bottom of a pot, his heart seemed to be exploded, he gasped, took a few steps forward, and asked Xu Shou, "What you said is true?" His body trembled uncontrollably, as if there were several strands of true qi in his body constantly scurrying around, stirring his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys all out of place.

"He's talking nonsense! I've never done anything to mutilate my siblings! Emperor Xuanwu's eyes were burning with flames, and he nailed Xu Shou's face for a moment, and gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "Don't slander me, and don't want to separate our uncle and nephew." ”

Xu Shou looked at him coldly, his eyes full of mockery, "Don't you have the courage to admit what the emperor has done?" This is what the slave heard with his own ears about you and Lord Rongqi. ”

He looked at Jing Rong, "After King Xuan's death, the county lord Rongqi found the emperor, and I heard the county lord Rongqi tell the ins and outs of the whole thing. ”

He talked eloquently, full of accusations, "At that time, the first emperor wanted to establish King Yu as the crown prince, and the emperor knew about it. He first took advantage of Concubine Li's jealousy of Princess Yu to make Princess Yu die, and then drunk King Yu at the first seven o'clock of Princess Yu, and let Lord Rongqi and King Yu sleep on the same bed, so that everyone thought that King Yu had an intimate relationship with others regardless of his shame and his wife's bones were cold, so as to hit the weight of King Yu in the heart of the former emperor. Unexpectedly, the emperor did not change his mind, and he was still determined to establish King Yu as the crown prince. At this time, the county lord of Rongqi was pregnant, and the emperor made a mistake and asked the county lord of Rongqi to force King Yu to marry her. After the marriage, the lord of Rongqi obeyed his instructions and poisoned King Yu's food. ”

Xu Shou picked up the cup of tea and smiled bitterly, "This poison will not kill people immediately, but over time, the body will not be able to bear it." But it is precisely because of the small dose of poison that no one can find out that King Yu was poisoned to death. However, if this poison wants to be poisonous, it needs a medicine primer, that is, after experiencing great anger and sorrow, it can trigger its potential toxicity in the body. ”

Jing Rong took a few steps back with a shock, his eyes were filled with monstrous anger, grief and hatred were intertwined and entwined all over his body, and endless tears wet his eyes, "I remember that on the night of my father's death, the imperial uncle went to see my father, and it was after the imperial uncle left, my father vomited blood and died. ”
