The emperor's family banquet was only attended by the princes, princesses and royal relatives, which seemed to be happy, but in fact it was only superficially harmonious.

The family banquet was naturally full of delicacies, singing and dancing, the six princes happened to sit beside the three princes, and when the sound of silk and bamboo sounded, Ji Yuan heard the third prince whisper: "Sixth brother, which of us do you think will be the prince?"

Ji Yuan took a sip of wine, half of his mind was floating outside with Luo Tian, and he was a little absent-minded.

"Third brother, what did you say?"

"Sixth brother, you are not an ambitious person, why do you want to be a puppet of the Luo family, do you really think that the Luo family really wants to assist you, they just want to find a person who is easy to control, and when you become the prince, and then ascend the throne, they control the military power in their hands, and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, you are a decoration. ”

At this time, Ji Yuan's attention was retracted, and he shook his head and said: "Third brother, you don't need to provoke the relationship between me and the Luo family, if after I ascend the throne, the Luo family really wants to use me, and I have no ability to fight them, then it is my incompetence, but before that, third brother, I also ask you a question, if you become the emperor, what will happen to me?"

Singing and dancing, at the seemingly peaceful family banquet, these two candidates for the prince confronted each other like ice.

On the other side, Zhuo Gongcheng tried dishes for the emperor in the back, and one after another exquisite dishes were served in front of him, he didn't even glance at them, ate a small bite of each, and then waited for a few minutes to make sure that there was no problem before eating the next one.

At this moment, a young palace man came over and whispered in Zhuo's ear, "Father-in-law, someone is looking for you outside." ”

"Who, didn't you see that I was trying dishes for the emperor?" said Zhuo Gonggong dissatisfied.

"The person who came was a close confidant of the prince, and said that he had something important to discuss with you. ”

"The prince's cronies, which prince?"

Seeing that the young palace people couldn't speak clearly, Gonggong Zhuo waved his hand and shouted: "I can't tell you clearly for a long time, I'll go and see for myself." ”

When he arrived outside the imperial dining room, he saw a person standing in the shadows, this place was the palace, Zhuo Gonggong was naturally not worried, and walked over and shouted: "Which prince's entourage are you, what are you looking for this father-in-law?"

The man in the shadows suddenly made a move, grabbed Zhuo's coat, and then dragged him into the dark alley of the shadows, and then covered Zhuo's mouth.

Father-in-law Zhuo panicked, but he couldn't shout, and his legs trembled in fright.

"Hello Grandpa Zhuo. ”

Luo Tian, who was wearing a human skin mask, appeared in front of Zhuo Gonggong, and the other party did not cultivate, so he couldn't see Luo Tian's true face at all.

"Woo woo......" Zhuo Gonggong shouted in horror.

"I don't want to hurt you, you promise not to yell and I'll let go of your mouth. ”

Seeing that Zhuo's father-in-law nodded, Luo Tian let go of his hand.

At this time, Father-in-law Zhuo gasped and stared at Luo Tiandao: "Who are you and what do you want to do?"

"I'm just asking a few questions for my master, you answer honestly, don't lie, I'll let you go. ”

"What do you want to know?"

"You have always been responsible for the emperor's diet and daily life, have you ever used some kind of poison to poison the emperor?"

Luo Tian asked straight to the point, and the frightened Gonggong Zhuo's body was about to weaken, and he shouted in surprise: "No, how could I poison the emperor!"

"Hehe, Gonggong Zhuo, don't pretend, I know everything, the chronic poison of a foreign country can kill the emperor unknowingly, usually you try the food for the emperor, and then present it to the emperor, so you are the only person who can be poisoned, who else can you be?"

"No, I really didn't poison the emperor, I don't dare to lend me a hundred guts, don't spray people with blood. Grandpa Zhuo hurriedly shook his head and said.

"Then you will be dishonest, and if you are not honest, you will suffer. While speaking, Luo Tian pressed his hand on Zhuo's father-in-law's shoulder, and seemed to pinch it gently, but it made Zhuo's father-in-law tremble in pain, and his mouth was covered by Luo Tian again and couldn't shout.

After a period of severe pain, Gonggong Zhuo's face was pale and his forehead was covered with cold sweat, he completely collapsed to the ground, shook his head and said, "I really didn't poison the emperor, don't blame me." ”

Seeing this, Luo Tian himself also beat a drum in his heart, does it really have nothing to do with Gonggong Zhuo, this old slave has followed the emperor for decades, and he is indeed loyal, is it really his mistake.

Seeing that he couldn't ask him, Luo Tian decided to deceive him again, if he wasn't fooled, the suspicion would be very small.

"Yes, it seems that my master didn't trust you in vain, you did well, my master will be satisfied. ”

Luo Tian said.

Zhuo's father-in-law's eyes changed, and he said, "Who is your master, and what he is talking about, I don't understand." ”

Luo Tian sneered in his heart, and said directly: "Father-in-law is really forgetful, what His Royal Highness the Third Prince entrusted you to do, why did you forget it in a blink of an eye, this time it was the Third Prince who asked the little one to test your father-in-law, and now I can go back and report, you are indeed loyal." ”

"The Three Princes...... Are you sent by the Third Prince to test me?" asked Gonggong Zhuo.

"Otherwise, who do you think I sent me?"

At this time, Gonggong Zhuo's attitude seemed to have changed, he stood up from the ground and leaned against the wall, and said while moving his shoulders: "Your master has tried me many times, does he really not believe me so much? I have expressed my loyalty many times, and his suspicion is too great. ”

Unexpectedly, Luo Tianbing was in danger, and he really cheated the inside story with such a move, the third prince really had something to do with this matter, and Gonggong Zhuo was an accomplice.

At this time, at the family banquet in the main hall, the third prince smiled coldly, drank the wine in the cup, and said: "What do you think, then I will also ask you, if you become the emperor, what will you do to me?"

"I will give you a fief, canonize you as a prince, let you live in peace for the rest of your life in the fief, and the title of the prince will be hereditary, and your descendants will not worry about glory and wealth. The Sixth Prince said without hesitation.

The third prince sneered and said: "Among all the princes, you are the most benevolent and righteous, however, in my opinion, the sixth brother, you are either stupid or hypocritical, then let me tell you, if I were you, I would not give this imperial brother who once threatened his throne and had huge ambitions, and is likely to seize every opportunity to rebel in the future, I will kill this imperial brother, and cut the grass to the roots, kill all his henchmen and cronies, and ensure that his throne is as stable as a rock." ”

"So, third brother, will you definitely kill me?" Ji Yuan asked.

"I don't hate you, on the contrary, as my only opponent now, I still admire you, but nothing can threaten my throne, you can't, no one, I am destined to become the emperor of Yunshan, and I am also destined to become one of the overlords of this continent. ”

In the dark alley, after Gonggong Zhuo knew that the other party was the person sent by the Third Prince to test him, he put away his panicked appearance and said coldly: "You go back and tell His Royal Highness the Third Prince, this kind of temptation is not necessary, we are already in the same boat." ”

"I will convey it to His Royal Highness the Third Prince, and in addition, His Royal Highness the Third Prince would like to ask you if the poison is enough. ”

"Hmm, isn't the poison always kept by Imperial Physician Jiang, and I am only responsible for sending it to the emperor to take, and as for the storage of the poison, I never interfere. ”

Luo Tian got a new clue.

"By the way, this time the three princes sent you not just to let you test me, the last time the third prince said that I would prepare the poisonous wine for the six princes, I have already prepared it, and I just asked people to present it to the six princes, which can be regarded as a great achievement. ”

Hearing this, Luo Tian's heart jumped violently.

At this time, in the main hall, a palace man was walking to the six princes with wine, and then poured a full cup for the six princes.

The old emperor raised his glass at this time and said loudly: "Every family banquet makes my dragon happy, I hope that all the royal family and princes and princesses can unite and be happy." ”

The six princes also raised their wine glasses, and just as they were about to drink it all, a black figure rushed into the hall, and then pierced the arms of the six princes, and the six princes snorted in pain, the wine glasses fell to the ground, and blood was also seen on their hands.

The black shadow was a large black bird that fluttered its wings and flew out of the main hall quickly.

"Quickly pass on to the Imperial Doctor. Seeing that the sixth prince was injured, the old emperor hurriedly shouted.

And outside the main hall, Xiao Hei fluttered his wings and flew away.

Luo Tian watched Xiao Hei in the sky fly away, heard the chaos in the hall, and knew that Xiao Hei had saved the six princes, and his heart settled down.

And Gonggong Zhuo frowned and said: "Strange, how can that black bird and Luo Tian's one imagine it like this, what's wrong in the hall, could it be that the six princes drank poisonous wine?"

Luo Tian was about to speak, but he heard Gonggong Zhuo smile coldly and said, "In this way, as long as you get rid of Luo Tian's evil seed, the three princes will definitely ascend to the throne." ”

When these words reached Luo Tian's ears, how could they feel so wrong......
