forty-four

On this day, Ning Hao, who was just about to go out, walked to the courtyard of Chongwu Palace, a black shadow appeared in front of him, and the black shadow knelt down on one knee and said: "Your Highness, you have made the excellence that your subordinates are staring at irreverent, but fortunately, before he betrayed His Highness, his subordinates have solved him." ”

After Ning Hao heard this, he was very satisfied. Nodding his head, "Very good!" It's just that you know too much! ”

After hearing this, the black shadow exerted force in his hand, slapped himself hard, and finally fell to the ground and died.

Ning Hao instructed the people behind him: "Find a place to bury it!" ”

The two people behind him saluted: "Yes!" ”

Ning Hao stepped past his corpse.

In the Anning Palace, Ning Yihan carried a food box again and went to deliver medicine to Ning Yue. These days, although Ning Yihan has been giving him medicine every day, Ning Yue's body has not improved. Not only did it not get better, but it became more and more sick. After all, Ning Yihan is Ning Yue's favorite prince, Ning Yihan came to deliver the medicine with filial piety, even if Ning Yue didn't like it anymore, he would drink all the medicine every time.

Today, as soon as Ning Yue took the medicine, a person who looked exactly like Ning Yihan outside the Anning Palace broke in directly. Ning Yue looked at the two Ning Yihan, and his heart couldn't help but tighten, and the Ning Yihan who fed Ning Yue the medicine saw the real Ning Yihan, so he directly bit his tongue and committed suicide in front of the palace.

Ning Yihan saw it and quickly ran over, he walked to the couch and said with concern: "Father! ”

Ning Yue's heart was already nervous, after drinking the medicine for so many days, he didn't know who sent it, Ning Yue was so scared that his thick eyebrows tightened, but he had to put on the majesty of the king of a country and forcibly calm down. And Ning Yihan's first reaction on the side was to shout, "Pass the Imperial Doctor!" Pass on the Imperial Doctor! ”

Xiao Lizi on the side also hurriedly ran to Xuan Taiyi, and the Anning Palace suddenly became a mess, outside the Anning Palace, the palace maid and eunuch knelt tremblingly, and the Imperial Forest Army surrounded the entire Anning Palace. The leader of the Imperial Forest Army walked in, knelt down on one knee and saluted: "Minister Zhang Xin, it's too late to save the driver, please punish the emperor!" ”

"Get up!"

"Emperor Xie!" As soon as Zhang Xin stood up, the imperial doctor hurried over. The imperial physician knelt down and said: "The minister should be, knock on the emperor, long live the emperor!" ”

Ning Yihan interrupted: "Hurry up, give the emperor treatment first." ”

"Yes!" After hearing this, Fang Ying didn't even care about the number of courtesies, so he stepped forward to treat Ning Yue. Just when Zhang Xin was about to take the person who committed suicide and pretended to be Ning Yihan down, Ning Yihan stopped him and said: "Wait! ”

After hearing this, Zhang Xin stood aside. Ning Yihan stepped forward and stretched out his hand to examine this person carefully. Found nothing suspicious. So, he checked the food box sent by this person again, and found that there was nothing suspicious, Ning Yihan turned around and asked Xiao Li Zi seriously, "Gonggong Li, this person is pretending to be me, when he first came, did he have any abnormal behavior?" ”

After hearing this, Xiao Lizi was frightened, he thought about it carefully, and then replied cautiously: "This person, when this person sent the decoction before, a sinuous python was engraved at the bottom of the food box. ”

After Ning Yihan heard this, he said angrily: "Since you saw it, why didn't you report it?" ”

After hearing this, Xiao Lizi's frightened legs weakened, and he knelt on the ground, and his heart was even more panicked, and he trembled and explained: "Your Royal Highness is angry! The old slave, the old slave is also because, after seeing the emperor see the pretending person, he was rarely happy once, and the old slave didn't want to disturb the emperor's Yaxing, so he concealed it and didn't report it! ”

After Fang Ying finished checking his pulse, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground suddenly, and after kowtowing his head heavily, he didn't dare to get up again.

When Ning Yihan saw it, his heart trembled, and he secretly said in his heart: Look at this, it's not good!

Ning Yihan eased his emotions and ordered: "Zhang Xin! ”

Zhang Xin saluted, "The minister is here!" ”

"You send someone to take the corpse down to guard it strictly, don't let anyone destroy the corpse, and also, quickly send troops to Chongwu Palace, surround Chongwu Palace, remember, don't let go of a fly."

Zhang Xin glanced at Ning Yue, Ning Yue nodded, and after Zhang Xin sent someone to bring the body down, he immediately left the palace and headed towards Chongwu Palace.

After Zhang Xin left, Ning Yihan instructed again: "Gonggong Li, bring all the eunuchs and palace maids down." ”

Xiao Lizi glanced at Ning Yue, Ning Yue nodded, and Xiao Lizi quickly took everyone outside the Anning Palace down. When there were only Ning Yue, Ning Yihan and Fang Ying in the Anning Palace, Ning Yihan asked, "Say, what kind of poison did the emperor have?" ”

Fang Ying raised his head and said tremblingly: "The old minister is incompetent, can't find out what kind of poison it is?" However, this poison is dangerous and abnormal, after boarding the human body, with the blood circulation, it spreads very fast, if this poison is not detected in time and the antidote is found, the old minister estimates that it ......"

When Fang Ying said this, he wanted to stop talking, and he didn't dare to say any further. Ning Yi's voice was cold, "Say!" ”

Fang Ying continued in fear: "The old minister estimates, the emperor, I can't hold on, three days!" ”

After Fang Ying finished speaking, his whole body was already in a cold sweat.

As soon as these words came out, Ning Yue's heart had fallen into despair, and Ning Yihan's heart was even more cold, Ning Yihan couldn't believe Fang Ying's words, his mind was hot, and he immediately commanded loudly: "Come, come, invite all the imperial doctors in the palace!" ”

Fang Ying saw Ning Yihan's reaction, and he could only slam his head on the ground, his whole body was tense, and he didn't dare to get up.

Ning Yue calmed down, and he stopped: "Yihan, forget it, don't call the imperial doctor." Now that the people in the court are unstable, the less people know about my poisoning, the better! ”

Hearing Ning Yue stop him, Ning Yihan felt that his whole body was weak, his center of gravity was unstable, he staggered, and sat down on the ground, Ning Yihan's eyes sank, and layers of tears appeared in his eyes.

Although Ning Yihan is dissatisfied with Ning Yue, the two are biological father and son after all, and no matter how much resentment Ning Yihan has, it can't withstand the family affection between the two whose blood is thicker than water.

Ning Yue commanded, "Imperial Doctor Fang, you go down first!" ”

Fang Ying just stood up, Ning Yihan stood up, walked over to stop him, his face was extremely cold, and warned: "Take care of your mouth, if there is a fourth person who knows......"

Fang Ying immediately nodded and agreed: "Your Highness, rest assured, the minister will be tight-lipped, and no fourth person will know." ”

"If only you had a good idea!"

After Ning Yihan finished speaking, he gave him a way, and Fang Ying immediately slipped away, and after a while, he ran away and disappeared.

Ning Yue sighed lightly, smiled calmly and said, "Han'er, come here!" ”

Ning Yihan walked to the dragon couch and knelt down on his knees. blamed himself: "Father, the son is not filial!" ”

Ning Yue raised his hand to touch Ning Yihan's face, and still smiled: "Good boy, it's none of your business!" ”

Ning Yue said, and helped Ning Yihan to sit on the bed, "Han'er, you have grown up, and you have just dealt with the affairs of assassins, which has also impressed me. Han'er, I will pass on the throne to you, and I can rest assured. ”

"Father, the son doesn't want the throne, and he has no intention of taking the throne, he just wants his father to be healthy."

After Ning Yue heard this, he smiled even more, "My son is so filial, it really wins my heart!" It's just that, Han'er, people will eventually die, and the father is just a little early. Han'er, you must remember that if you are three points today, Yongchun and the Northern Lion are eyeing each other, so after I die, the funeral will be simple, but you must not let Yongchun and the Northern Lion know. Do you understand? ”

Chun Yihan shook his head and choked up: "Erchen doesn't understand!" ”

Looking at Ning Yihan's indecisive appearance, Ning Yue suddenly became ruthless, he slapped Ning Yihan directly in the face, Ning Yihan was slapped until his cheeks were red, Ning Yihan only felt a hot and spicy pain, and with a slap, Ning Yihan suddenly felt that people seemed to be much more sober, no longer in a trance like Fang Cai, and they were confused.

Ning Yue scolded sharply: "Ning Yihan, I have reigned for thirty years, and during the thirty years, I have preserved the rivers and mountains recovered by my ancestors to this day, and also protected the peace of the people of Ning Ao for thirty years. ”

After Ning Yihan heard this, his heart was full of grief, and he also had a stomach full of grievances, he smiled bitterly: "Give birth to me? Scold! Father, if you are born but not raised, why should you be born? Father, do you think that the eldest brother is talented and unvirtuous, and the second brother you don't like him, so you want to find a reliable person to clean up the mess you left before you are about to die? ”

"What do you mean by that?" Ning Yue said angrily

Ning Yihan smiled lightly, with helplessness and a hint of sadness in his smile, "Father, I don't want this throne." Give it to whomever you want! ”

Ning Yue's anger was like thunder, and he scolded: "Rebel son ......" Ning Yue was angry and coughed a few times, Ning Yihan turned a deaf ear and left without looking back

Ning Yihan walked outside the Anning Palace, saw Hou Xiao Lizi outside the palace, and instructed: "Take care of the emperor, if there are any problems, summon the imperial doctor Fang Yingfang." ”

Xiao Lizi saluted, "Yes!" ”

Xiao Li Zi was just about to turn around and go in, but Ning Yihan instructed again: "Father-in-law Li, remember, you can only pass on the imperial doctor!" ”

Xiao Lizi saluted again, "Your Highness, rest assured, the old slave understands!" ”

tone, then led the palace maid and the eunuch to go in and serve without looking back.

Outside Chongwu Palace, Zhang Xin led people to surround the entire Chongwu Palace.

A eunuch walked to the door and scolded Zhang Xin: "Bold, this is Chongwu Palace, the residence of His Royal Highness, and it is also surrounded by your slaves?" ”

Zhang Xin bowed and shouted loudly in the palace: "Your Highness, forgive your sins, this is the emperor's order, and please don't embarrass the ministers." ”

Ning Hao slowly walked out of the room, and said with a calm face: "Since it is my father's order, then good, I will no longer be embarrassed." ”

Ning Hao said, and asked everyone in the mansion to retreat.

When Ning Hao was just about to return to the dormitory, a voice came from outside the door, "On the orders of the emperor, escort His Royal Highness to the Anning Palace, and the emperor will personally interrogate him!" As for the Chongwu Palace, heavy troops were sent to guard everyone in the Chongwu Palace, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. ”

After Zhang Xin heard the voice, he turned his head and saw Ning Yihan coming over.

Ning Yihan looked at Zhang Xin and ordered, "Don't do it yet?" ”

Zhang Xin saluted, "Yes!" ”

Zhang Xin walked into Chongwu Palace as he spoke, made a gesture of invitation, and said respectfully: "The eldest prince moves!" ”

Ning Hao walked out of Chongwu Palace with Zhang Xin's instructions, he walked in front of Ning Yihan, the two stood facing each other, Ning Hao stared at Ning Yihan's eyes, there was a killing intent in his eyes, and his expression was fierce and abnormal. And Ning Yihan didn't look at him, his eyes were still calm like a puddle of clear spring.

At the urging of Zhang Xin, Ning Hao left.
