"Lu Tao?" Emperor Tianqing looked at everyone.

An Guogong said: "He is a member of the literary world, and he is quite talented. ”

Shen Zhengyu still didn't know what was wrong with the ink, so he only whispered: "Mr. Lu praised Changrong a few words, and Weichen read that this ink was a gift from him, maybe he could touch his temperament, so he gave it to Changrong and Changrui, Changrong kept it for himself, and Changrui gave him the ink because of his friendship with Changyuan." ”

"You said that your son is also using this ink?" Emperor Tianqing said.

Shen Zhengyu hurriedly looked at Shen Changrong.

Shen Changrong knelt on the ground and whispered: "Back to Your Majesty, this ink is clear and has a strange fragrance, and I have always carried it with me to take it with me." ”

He has always regarded being valued by Lu Tao as the most proud thing, and he can't wait for everyone to know that he is no worse than his eldest brother Shen Qi.

He was called back directly from the patriarchal school by Old Madam Shen before, and the unused ink strip before leaving was also subconsciously stuffed into the purse on his waist.

Seeing Emperor Tianqing asking at this time, he hurriedly untied the purse and took out the ink strip wrapped in paper.

An Guogong stepped forward to take a look, and then said: "It's true that he's used it a lot, and he still has some ink on his hands." ”

Emperor Tianqing glanced at the side: "Imperial Doctor Xu." ”

That Imperial Physician Xu was originally left in the palace by Feng Yuan to make sure everything, who would have thought that things would become like this.

Seeing that things were not as good as Feng Yuan had explained before, he could only step forward, first inspected the ink strips, and then checked Shen Changrong's pulse for a while, and even after sniffing the ink stained on his hands, he couldn't help but look at Feng Yuan.

Feng Yuan's face was the same, and he didn't look at him at all.

Imperial Physician Xu could only whisper: "The ink and ink strips on Shen Ergongzi's hands are exactly the same as those found by His Majesty's side, but maybe he has ground this ink strip, or maybe he has seen water, and the toxicity is a little lighter." ”

"He's poisonous?" Emperor Tianqing asked.

Imperial Physician Xu shook his head: "Your Majesty forgives me, and the old minister is also the first time to see the poison of this nine golden flower, If it weren't for the Ning Yuan judgment to remind the old minister, it would be difficult to distinguish it, but the Ning Yuan judgment said that the toxicity in this ink strip is not serious, If you want to mess with people's minds and make people crazy, you have to use a few of them, and they can only work over time." ”

"Second Prince Shen only got this thing more than a month ago, even if it is poisonous in the body, the toxicity must not be deep, if you want to judge this, I am afraid that you will have to let the Ning Court judge it."

Messing up people's minds and making people crazy?!

Shen Changrong and Shen Zhengyu were both startled, and then looked at the ink strip with horror on their faces.

Emperor Tianqing couldn't help but squint slightly.

The Queen Mother was unwell, and Ning Jingshui was called to Ci'an Palace early in the morning.

However, with Imperial Physician Xu's words, and the frightened attitude of Shen Changrong's father and son, even if Shen Changrong could not diagnose toxicity in his body, Emperor Tianqing would no longer suspect anything at this time.

Shen Zhongkang directly stepped forward and pleaded guilty: "It was the old minister who was not strict in controlling the people in the mansion, and he actually let them bring such harmful things into the mansion, and they were even sent to His Majesty by the prince by mistake. ”

The prince's face was full of remorse: "It's all to blame on Erchen, Erchen saw that Arnold was using a rare good ink that day, so he thought about giving it to his father, but he carelessly forgot to let the imperial doctor check it, and asked his father to punish him." ”

Emperor Tianqing is indeed unreasonable sometimes, but sometimes he is extremely shrewd.

When it doesn't hurt his interests, he is both a benevolent monarch and a loving father, and seeing that the prince and Shen Zhongkang both have a guilty face, he doesn't mean to blame the two.

The poison in this ink is already exquisite, if it weren't for the accident in the hunting ground this time, the Inner Court Division searched the things around him, I'm afraid no one would have thought that someone would poison this ink to use it to murder others.

The second child of the Shen family and Shen Changrong's kid looked at the way of people, and the person who harmed people was afraid that when he started it, he didn't expect that the things would be brought into the palace after the prince took a fancy to them.

If the prince hadn't taken it, and the thing was left in Shen Ke's hands, no one would have found out that there was something wrong with the ink strip.

By the time the Shen family used it for a year and a half, several young people in the house were sick and crazy, maybe outsiders would think that the Shen family had collided with some evil things before they had accidents one after another, who would have thought that the ink strips that had been used up a long time ago?

Emperor Tianqing stroked his arm that was still tied with the wound: "This matter has nothing to do with you. ”

After calling the two of them to get up, Emperor Tianqing said: "It's just that who did your Shen family offend, and you actually asked people to go to great lengths to send this kind of poisonous thing to your grandsons?" ”

Shen Zhongkang frowned: "The old minister really doesn't know who he offended to be targeted like this." ”

An Guogong stood aside and said: "Since this ink was sent to the Shen family through the hands of Lu Tao, I am afraid that this matter has nothing to do with him. ”

Emperor Tianqing was about to speak when he heard this, but he saw Xue Nuo, who was originally hiding behind Shen Ke, his eyebrows furrowed, and his face showed hesitation as if he remembered something, and then he pulled Shen Ke's sleeve and whispered something, he spoke: "Xue boy, what do you say secretly, say something loudly!" ”

Xue Nuo was startled, and seeing that everyone around her was looking at her, she hesitated and said: "I just suddenly remembered that Aunt Shen had told the people in the mansion earlier, saying that Jiang Shizi was going to introduce Lu Tao for them, and that Mr. Lu had already heard of the reputation of the second son, and he had plans to take him as an apprentice......

"Wechen has also heard about this."

A courtier next to him glanced at Shen Changrong and suddenly spoke: "A few days ago, when I was in the hunting ground, many people discussed this matter, saying that the second son of the Shen family had Lu Tao's blue eyes. ”

"Many literati in Beijing respect that Mr. Lu, the day before yesterday on the hunting ground, Shen Ergongzi also held a small literary meeting with someone, I heard that he also promised to choose the poems of the sons of two courtiers, saying that when Lu Tao returned to collect the apprentices, let him help palm his eyes, so that my kid is envious."

Shen Changrong's face suddenly turned pale.

Lu Tao's gift of ink made him feel for the first time that he was not losing to Shen Ke, and when he was in the hunting ground, everyone complimented him, and even those who looked down on him in the past were close to him in every way, and he was praised when he invited him to drink.

The good attitude of those people made him a little carried away, so he gasped and held a small literary meeting.

Seeing Shen Zhongkang looking at him calmly, Shen Changrong suddenly hurriedly defended: "I, I'm just joking with them, Jiang Shizi only said to pull the strings for me, but I haven't seen Lu Tao yet......"

Shen Zhengyu also hurriedly said: "Changrong didn't lie, Jiang Shizi said that Lu Tao was his uncle, and he also gave him an essay, but Changrong has never seen Lu Tao, the ink I brought back to the house, he really doesn't know anything, if he really knows that there is a problem with the ink, how dare he stay by his side and use it." ”

Shen Zhongkang glared at the two fiercely.

An Guogong asked beside him: "......What is the Jiang Shizi in your mouth?"

"Jiang Yuzhu, the prince of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion."
