King Chen felt a little frightened, hurriedly put the small bottle back in its place, and asked Lu Baichuan, "What are these things?" ”

Lu Baichuan replied: "This is some poison prepared by the insider, and the minister thinks that His Highness can use it." ”

King Chen raised his eyebrows and asked, "You mean poisoning Daoping?" ”

Lu Baichuan shook his head: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

King Chen's face sank instantly, and Lu Baichuan knelt directly on the ground.

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

King Chen's tone was heavy, and there was a faint intention to get angry.

Lu Baichuan said: "Dare to fight, please give it a try!" There is a kind of poison, but it will make the body poor, and it will not hurt life, and this characteristic can be used to make the emperor feel that there is something wrong with Daoping's elixir, so that he no longer trusts Daoping. This can also give us an opportunity to take advantage of. ”

King Chen listened to his explanation, his face softened slightly, and he thought that Lu Baichuan meant to poison the emperor directly, which was a great unfilial piety.

Although the emperor didn't like him, he was his father after all, and he couldn't have such a big unfilial idea no matter what.

"Is it really harmless to the body?"

"The insider's medical skills are very good, and the things she dispenses can be used with confidence, and the minister can use his life as a guarantee."

Before he came, he discussed this matter with He Jiuniang, just to ask He Jiuniang if there was such a poison, so that King Chen would not have too much psychological pressure to use it.

At that time, He Jiuniang's answer was: "No, I can match you for the time being." ”

Then I gave it to him the next morning, and I also explained the usage and dosage.

King Chen stretched out his hand to stop him: "No need, this king believes you." It's just that this matter is somewhat risky, so let's wait for this king to persuade my father first. ”

Lu Baichuan naturally nodded yes, no matter what, he had to give King Chen a time to think about it.

King Chen trusts He Jiuniang's medical skills in his heart, otherwise Lin Yiping would not be so jealous, and that Mrs. Lu can do food, design clothes, understand medical skills and business, almost omnipotent, she is indeed a capable person.

Lu Baichuan is his person, and his wife naturally wants to be him, he has such an advantage, and it is a pity not to take advantage of it.

However, the fact that the emperor was drugged was too dangerous, and he really couldn't afford to be charged with rebellion if he wasn't careful.

Lu Baichuan left temporarily, and King Chen asked Cheng Meng to take Lu Baichuan to get to know the brothers below, and it would be convenient to call him later.

And King Chen took advantage of this time to hurriedly enter the palace and meet the saint.

The old emperor is obsessed with cultivation, and has been playing retreat or something recently, and he doesn't go to the court or see anyone, a whole set of steps to cultivate immortals, and it is useless for hundreds of officials in the court to force each other to death, and King Chen himself is somewhat unconfident in this trip.

But if he didn't try it himself, how could he be ruthless in poisoning his father?

Standing at the gate of the Emperor's Palace, King Chen took a deep breath and was ready to be scolded.

"Go and tell my father that this king has found something important related to Daoping Zhenren and asks to see his father!"

The eunuch at the door respectfully responded and went in to report, as for whether he saw it or not, it depended on the emperor's mood.

The eunuch first said that King Chen asked to see him, but the old emperor refused without saying a word, and then said that he had found out about Daoping Zhenren, and the old emperor subconsciously felt that King Chen was looking for trouble, and he didn't want to see him.

"Nope. Let him go out of the palace if he is fine, care about the people's livelihood and suffering, don't keep staring at me, it's annoying. ”

The old emperor waved his hand impatiently, and the eunuch turned around and walked out, and when he hurried to the door, the old emperor said again: "Forget it, let him in." ”

Since it is a matter of Daoping Zhenren, the old emperor is worried that if he really doesn't care, King Chen will take matters into his own hands to solve it, and Daoping Zhenren has two brushes, and he must protect them.

The eunuch respectfully replied and went to call King Chen in.

The palace outside was brightly lit, but the place where the old emperor was only lit was a candlestick, and the space was large, and the light of the candlestick seemed insignificant, and it was dark everywhere, giving people a gloomy feeling.

"Son-in-law, see father."

King Chen knelt down and saluted, but the old emperor didn't let him get up, the meaning was very clear, there was something kneeling to say.

"Third child, you should know that I don't care about anything. On weekdays, I can do whatever you do, as long as it is beneficial to the people, I can do it, but don't think that I have really handed over all the power to you. ”

The emperor's voice sounded in the empty palace, it seemed a little empty, and his tone was flat, but it was faintly threatening and shocking.

King Chen bowed his head and said, "What my father said is that his sons dare not make assertions. ”

"Don't you dare?"

The old emperor's tone was a little heavier: "You have begun to check the Dao Pingzhen, what else is there that you don't dare?" I want to live longer, is it so ridiculous in your eyes? ”

The old emperor's anger had reached its peak, and his eyes were staring at King Chen tightly as if he was kneeling in front of him not his own son, but the enemy of this life.

"Father, my sons have never thought of it like this! It was not Erchen who took the initiative to investigate Daoping Zhenren, but when he was investigating other cases, he found Daoping Zhenren, and now he has enough evidence, and there are all the witnesses! ”

King Chen knew that the old emperor was angry, but he still chose to go hard.

He brought all the evidence handed over by Lu Baichuan, hoping that in the face of the evidence, the old emperor would be able to restrain himself from the precipice.

"What case? What evidence? The third, the third, you are really getting better and better! ”

The old emperor was so angry that his beard was trembling, and he felt that this was simply nonsense.

"Daoping Zhenren is just a Taoist priest, and in this life, he is just pursuing immortality like me, so how can he be involved in any case?"

The old emperor made it clear that he wanted to protect Daoping and had a tough attitude, and if he was replaced by someone else, he wouldn't dare to say it anymore.

King Chen was also a little hesitant, but he thought that he had come here, and it would be too useless to go back like this, so he still stiffened his neck and said: "There was a case of missing children in Jingzhou, all of them were three or five-year-old children, and the people of the sons were found in a Taoist temple outside the city.

The Taoist priest in the Taoist temple personally explained that the purpose of arresting those children was to take their hearts and blood to refine the elixir, and Erchen's subordinates stopped the letter sent by the Taoist temple to the capital, which was obviously in contact with Daoping.

Not only children, but also some girls from good families were killed, they were arrested to take blood, blood withered and died, even if they survived, they were all sent to the Qinglou to survive, this is a huge blood chain, it is a conspiracy of the Dongting people to invade our country, and please ask the father to see it! ”

He finished his words in one breath, and took out a series of evidence from his arms and handed them over, but the emperor didn't answer it, but slapped it on the table.

"Ridiculous! Third, do you know what you're talking about? I, Beiyan Guotai Min'an, how could this happen? In order to deal with Daoping, you have acted too much in this play! ”

The old emperor stretched out his hand and pointed at King Chen, his eyes were blood-red.

King Chen looked at him neither humbly nor arrogantly, gritted his teeth and asked, "Does my father really not believe it, or does he intend to cover it up?" Father took the pill every day, didn't he find that there was a strong smell of blood in the pill? ”
