Chapter 68: Poisoning

||->->

Shangguan Xiu Zhengse said: "The villain does not dare to deceive His Majesty, the villain does not participate in the rally very much, and he is far from knowing the situation of the rally well, but the villain can guarantee that His Royal Highness King Yu has nothing to do with the assassins." Every time Yuwang attended the assembly, he did not come into contact with anyone, and he was usually the latest to arrive and leave the first for fear of attracting the attention of the students. The assassin now confesses that he was appointed by His Royal Highness King Yu, and he has ulterior motives at all, and he wants to blame His Royal Highness King Yu, and I hope His Majesty will see it!"

"I see!" Tang Peng muttered.

Tang Yu glanced at Shangguan Xiu gratefully, he stepped forward at this time, it can be said that he helped himself clear his suspicion and did himself a great favor.

He answered: "The son of the emperor should know best, how can the son of the emperor hide evil intentions for the father and do such a thing as killing the father and doing such a thing that is contrary to human ethics and rebellion......" Speaking of this, his eyes were red, and tears flowed out.

Tang Ling, who was sitting on the side, narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly, and looked at Shangguan Xiu, the light in his eyes flickering.

Yu'er got up. Seeing Tang Yu's face full of tears and kowtowing to the ground, Tang Peng's heart also tingled.

In fact, if you think about it quietly, Shangguan Xiu desperately rescued herself under the sword of the assassin, and Shangguan Xiu was the person recommended by Yu'er to herself, doesn't this just show that Yu'er has no evil intentions and has nothing to do with the assassin?

"Yu'er's character, the father knows best, the assassin has evil intentions, and wants to provoke the family relationship between me and the prince, which is an additional crime, and the crime is unforgivable!" As he spoke, Tang Peng turned his eyes, looked at Shangguan Xiu, and said, "Shangguan Aiqing, are you willing to interrogate the assassin for me and find out the culprit behind the scenes?"

Shangguan Xiu's body was shocked, and he hurriedly left the table, walked to the center of the main hall, kowtowed, and said, "The villain is willing to serve His Majesty!"

"Hmm!" Tang Peng nodded with satisfaction, and said in a shocking voice: "Shangguan Xiu listens to the seal!"

Shangguan Xiu bowed forward again.

"Shangguan Xiu performed well in this Capture the Flag Competition, and I thought that Shangguan Xiu could be called a model for students, so I gave Shangguan Xiu the title of baron of the first class!"

"Villain, thank you, Your Majesty!" Shangguan Xiu stepped forward and kowtowed.

"Shangguan Xiu saved me from danger and saved me, so I gave Shangguan Xiu the title of one step higher!"

Tang Peng is talking about advancing to the first level, not the next level, so Shangguan Xiu's title is not a third-class viscount, but a first-class viscount.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Shangguan Xiu lurked in the rebel party assembly, and he had the merit of setting things right to King Yu, so I specially awarded you the position of deputy commander of the Tianyan Division of the Duwei Mansion, hoping that you can do your best to serve me and the court in the future. ”

"Weichen, thank you for your kindness!"

Shangguan Xiu's voice trembled when he bowed to Xie En. The words of the Son of Heaven made him from a first-class viscount in Buyi, and let him jump from a nominal spy in the Duwei Mansion to the deputy commander of the Tianyan Division of the Duwei Mansion, on the same level as Cheng Qi, this is simply a step to the sky.

Such a reward surprised the ministers present, and people could see that His Majesty really liked this Shangguan Xiu, who was a sensation and had the merit of saving the driver in the Capture the Flag Race.

Shangguan Xiu was rewarded so much, Tang Yu was naturally overjoyed, and Luo Ren and the others who were sitting in the back row were even more excited and about to jump up. Brother Xiu has become the deputy commander of the Duwei Mansion, is it far from entering the Duwei Mansion by himself?

The Duwei Mansion is an institution above 10,000 people under one person, and entering the Duwei Mansion as an errand is not known how many times stronger than serving as a low-level military leader in the army.

Now Shangguan Xiu is only eighteen years old, and it is nothing to become a first-class viscount, but becoming the deputy commander of the Duwei Mansion is simply a precedent for the Wind Country.

"You all have a flat face!" Tang Peng's gloomy face finally had a smile, he waved his hand to the people kneeling below, and said with a smile: "Although there have been many changes and unpleasant things in today's Capture the Flag Race, I must say that this is the most wonderful Capture the Flag Tournament I have seen in recent years! The battle between Shangguan Aiqing and Qi Aiqing is wonderful, I haven't seen enough!" As he spoke, he picked up his wine glass and said, "I salute the two Aiqing!"

"Your Majesty Xie!" Shangguan Xiu and Qi Fei hurriedly picked up their wine glasses, glanced at each other at the same time, and then raised their glasses to Tang Peng and drank all the wine in the glass.

Tang Peng said to the maid on the side: "Serve!"

Soon, two rows of maids walked in outside the main hall, each with a tray in his hand, on which were wine and food.

Taking advantage of the maid's time to serve the food, Cao Lei, who was sitting behind Shangguan Xiu, lowered his voice and said, "Brother Xiu, this time we can soar." ”

Without waiting for Shangguan Xiu to speak, Luo Ren next to him poked him with his elbow and motioned for him to shut up quickly. This is the palace, not at home, if you are not careful, there is a possibility of moving your head, and the words "accompanying the king like a tiger" are not for fun.

The wine and food were all together, and Tang Peng, who was in a high mood, pushed the glass and changed the cup with everyone, and it didn't take long for him to drink a pot of wine, and his face became red.

Tang Ling, who was sitting on his right hand, persuaded in a low voice: "Father Emperor has been in poor health recently, so it is better to drink less." ”

"Haha!" Tang Peng smiled on his back and said, "It's rare that I'm happy today, so Ling Er shouldn't persuade me." ”

When talking to Tang Yu, Tang Peng would call himself his father, and when talking to Tang Ling, he would call himself I, and through such small details, it can also be seen that Tang Peng was close to the two of them.

Tang Ling sighed helplessly, and Tang Yu raised his glass and said, "Father, sons and daughters salute their father!" As soon as Tang Ling persuaded Tang Peng to drink less, Tang Yu came to toast, in fact, he was somewhat dissatisfied with Tang Ling in his heart.

At the beginning, Sister Xiang wanted to go to the rally by herself, and she wanted to hear about the students' dissatisfaction with the nobles in the imperial court recently, but when the assassin framed herself, Sister Xiang didn't say a word, as if this matter had nothing to do with her at all.

Seeing Tang Yu toasting to himself, Tang Peng smiled, picked up the wine jug, and poured it into the wine glass, only to find that the wine jug was empty.

Seeing this, Tang Yu glanced at the maid beside him, and the maid understood, walked to the side of the dragon book, and poured a full glass of wine for Tang Peng.

Tang Peng picked up the cup with a smile, saluted Tang Yu for a while, and then drank all the wine in the cup.

Tang Ling frowned, and said again: "Father really can't drink anymore......"

"Hey, Ling Er Xiu is going to be verbose. Tang Peng waved his hand disappreciatively, and then looked at Shangguan Xiu and Qi Fei below, and said with a happy smile: "I am very relieved to see that I am full of talents......

Before he finished speaking, he picked up the cup in his hand and suddenly fell, and with a bang, the wine glass fell on the table, causing everyone below to raise their heads and look at Tang Peng.

I saw that Tang Peng's originally red face instantly turned pale, he covered his stomach with his hands, his eyes were big and round, and suddenly, he opened his mouth, and with a whoop, a bloody arrow spurted out of his mouth.

"Ahh

Seeing this scene, everyone in the hall was shocked, and subconsciously stood up in unison, and said in unison: "Your Majesty!"

Tang Peng didn't say a word, his body sitting on the dragon chair shook twice, and then he fell on the dragon book case.

"Your Majestyβ€”"

"Escort! There are assassins!"

In an instant, the hall was in chaos, Tang Ling and Tang Yu both rushed to Tang Peng's approach, looked down again, Tang Peng's eyes were closed tightly on the table, his breath was like a gossamer, and black-brown blood slowly flowed out from the corners of his mouth.

Tang Ling didn't say a word, set up Tang Peng, and retreated towards the inner end of the main hall, and at the same time, countless Praetorian Guard warriors poured in from the outside, surrounding everyone in the main hall.

This change came too suddenly, who would have thought that the Son of Heaven, who was drinking with everyone, would suddenly vomit blood and fall into a coma, at this moment, whether it was Shangguan Xiu or the ministers present, they were dumbfounded.

Tang Ling, Tang Yu and a guard with a knife escorted Tang Peng to the dormitory, and when they arrived at the dormitory, when the imperial doctor heard the news, Tang Peng was already out of breath.

Looking at the symptoms of Tang Peng's death, his whole body was blue and his nails turned black, which was obviously a reaction to the poison in his body.

The imperial doctor took out the silver needle, first stabbed the corpse's throat, the silver needle instantly turned black, and then, the imperial doctor changed the silver needle and stabbed Tang Peng's arm again, just like just now, the silver needle also turned black. The imperial doctor's face changed suddenly, and he said in a trembling voice to Tang Ling, Tang Yu, the queen, and the concubines who were kneeling beside the bed: "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty was poisoned and died......"

As soon as these words came out, the people present all changed color, the Son of Heaven was not sick, but poisoned, this is someone who assassinated, someone killed the king!

Tang Lingteng stood up suddenly, with tears on his little face, grabbed the imperial doctor's clothes, and asked sharply, "Are you sure?"

The imperial doctor was so frightened that he fell to his knees and said tremblingly: "Weichen will never dare to say anything!"

"All the imperial doctors in the palace will go to the Jinluan Palace!" Tang Ling gritted his teeth and strode out of the palace.

Tang Yu knelt in front of the bed, crying loudly, in pain.

Tang Ling took a group of imperial doctors back to the Jinluan Palace and inspected the meals Tang Peng had just eaten one by one.

There was no problem with the meals, the imperial doctors checked them one by one, and they didn't find the poisoned meals, and when the imperial doctors tested Tang Peng's wine glass with the silver needle, the silver needle instantly turned black.

The imperial doctor's face changed, and he exclaimed, "Your Majesty's wine is highly poisonous!"

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of everyone present fell on the palace maid who poured wine for Tang Peng at the end.

The palace maid's face was pale, her body shook and retreated, Tang Ling turned to glare at her, raised her hand and pointed, and shouted, "Take her down!"

Before the Praetorian Guard warrior stepped forward, the palace maid bit her teeth hard, chewed the wax pill in her mouth beforehand, and she shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, the concubine is one step ahead......

Before she could finish her sentence, the man fell straight to the ground, his limbs twitching and bleeding.

When the imperial doctors rushed forward, they didn't even have a chance to help, and the palace maid was already dead.

It didn't matter if she died, but the words she shouted before she died were too crucial.

At that time, she went over to toast Tang Peng at the behest of Tang Yu, and she was poisoned in the wine, and before that, Tang Peng was assassinated by assassins, and Tang Yu was inextricably linked to these assassins.

It can be said that all kinds of spearheads of Tang Peng's poisoning and murder are pointed at one person, that is, Tang Yu.
