Chapter 316: Two Birds with One Stone (Two in One)
Yun Chong didn't expect that from beginning to end, Shen Lingxi Zuo only said a few words, and then suddenly reversed the situation.
What's even more hateful is that obviously what he arranged was to let Zhao Yu sprinkle the powder of the "Burning Sun" on the tassels.
But she disobeyed the yang and the yin, and made the jujube wood indiscriminately filled.
Falling short.
What a failure!
Yun Chong knelt on the ground and begged the emperor for mercy: "The emperor is angry, and the sinner doesn't know, there is jujube wood in this tassel, the crown princess said, the sinner's medicine powder is real, and the sinner is also kind-hearted, and he wants to save His Royal Highness Shi! The emperor is angry, the emperor is clear! β
"Brother Huang." King Rui spoke at the right time on the side: "It's important to save Shiro's life first." β
The emperor originally planned to directly order someone to drag Yun Chong out and cut him down, but as soon as he heard King Rui's words, he instantly calmed down.
Yes.
At present, it is only found out that this tassel is contaminated with medicinal powder.
Besides, Yun Chong is a foreign man, so he must not be able to predict the events in this palace.
Troublemakers, I'm afraid there are other people.
The Emperor snorted coldly, "I'll give you another chance." β
As he spoke, he looked at Shen Lingxi, "Crown Princess, I will give you an explanation for today's events." β
Shen Lingxi blessed his body, glanced at Yun Chong again, and retreated to Chu Yan's side.
Chu Yan looked at her with concern.
Shen Lingxi shook his head at him invisibly, signaling that he was fine.
The exchange between the two eyebrows fell in the emperor's eyes, causing the emperor to frown again.
Yun Chong was already so startled that a cold sweat broke out, and he took out another porcelain bottle from his sleeve and presented it: "This is the antidote that the criminal minister brought out from the Yunjiang Medicine Palace back then, it can neutralize the medicinal properties of the scorching sun, just feed it to His Highness Ten, and within a quarter of an hour, it will definitely make His Highness's facial sores subside." β
The emperor's eyes gestured to Zhu Lianxi.
Zhu Lianxi took the porcelain vase and was about to serve the medicine to the ten princes-
"Wait." Shen Lingxi suddenly spoke, "Your Majesty, the concubines think that for the sake of prudence, this antidote should not be directly used on the Ten Princes, but it is most appropriate to find someone to try it." β
When Yun Chong heard this, it was about his life, and he was really a little anxious.
"Crown Princess, what do you mean by this, will I harm His Royal Highness the Tenth? If something happens to His Highness the Tenth, what good will it do me? I don't want to die? β
"If you want to die, this palace doesn't know." Shen Lingxi said mockingly, "This palace only knows that the life of Young Master Yun can not be compared to that of the Ten Princes. β
Yun Chong's face sank.
thinks that back then, he was also the prince of a country under one person and above ten thousand people, but now he is not even as good as a baby.
Shen Lingxi no longer looked at him, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, 'Be careful to sail the boat for ten thousand years', this Yun Gongzi is the first prince of Yun Kingdom, I heard that Emperor Yun has always been fond of Yun Gongzi during his lifetime, and now he is so down, he risked his life to fulfill Emperor Yun's last wish, and it is not impossible to do so." β
As soon as these words came out, everyone, including the emperor, was still weighing the pros and cons of Shen Lingxi's words.
But Zhao Guifei was the first to change her face.
She held the hand of the Ten Princes, and couldn't help but tighten, and looked at Yun Chong with a pair of beautiful eyes, with a little hesitation.
Yun Chong scolded secretly, making a ridiculous look on his face.
"The crown princess has repeatedly prevented Yun from healing His Royal Highness, what is her intention?" Yun Chongyi said rhetorically: "Since the crown princess knows so much about the secret medicine of the medicine palace, she should know that this medicine is extremely cold, and it can only solve the medicinal properties of the scorching sun. The crown princess used this to block Yun's healing, didn't she want His Royal Highness Ten to recover? This disease is extremely dangerous, if it drags on any longer......"
"Your Majesty, the concubines believe in Yun Gongzi!" Zhao Guifei said decisively: "Compared with the ill-intentioned crown princess, the concubine is willing to believe Yun Gongzi, Yun Gongzi has treated King Rui's leg disease for many years, and he will definitely not harm Shilang." β
Shen Lingxi frowned, "If something really happens, don't regret it." β
"This palace will regret it if you believe what you say!" Zhao Guifei didn't want to go back.
She turned her head and looked at the emperor earnestly, "Your Majesty, the concubine guarantees her life, and Gongzi Yun will definitely be able to heal Shilang." β
Her life is really not that important to the emperor now.
The emperor looked at King Rui, "Ah Xun, what do you say?" β
"The minister has worked hard for Yun Gongzi over the years, treating his leg disease for the minister, and the minister believes that Yun Gongzi is a righteous man with a pure heart, and he will definitely be able to save Shilang." Rui Wang said softly.
The emperor's eyebrows were slightly relaxed, and he waved his hand at Zhu Lianxi with his trust in King Rui.
Zhu Lianxi mixed the medicinal powder in the porcelain bottle with water and fed it to the Ten Princes in person.
Everyone's eyes were on the Ten Princes.
At first, the Ten Princes were still just lying on Zhao Guifei's shoulders sickly, but after about a cup of tea, he suddenly straightened up irritably and cried again.
The facial sores on his face became more and more red because of the crying, and there were even some red sores that had already raised, and a little pus was visible to the naked eye.
In a quarter of an hour, the sores on the face of the Ten Princes did not dissipate as Yun Chong said.
Look, it's getting worse!
"Yes." Seeing this, Shen Lingxi hurriedly said: "This medicine is definitely not the antidote to the scorching sun, he poisoned Shilang!" β
It's like responding to Shen Lingxi's words-
The cry of the Ten Princes suddenly rose a few points, but soon, he breathed rapidly, and his face had turned from red to a little purple.
"This ...... It's impossible......"
Yun Chong took a few steps back and muttered incredulously.
He reached into his sleeve pocket and touched it, and today he only brought these two porcelain vases with him, both of which were of different colors, and he would never take them wrong.
Yun Chong suddenly thought of something, and suddenly looked at Shen Lingxi: "Is it a ghost that you and the prince are doing?" β
"From the beginning to the end, the palace didn't even raise his hand, how can he do it?" Shen Lingxi said in a deep voice: "It seems that you really have ill intentions, and you pretend to heal Shilang on your face, but in fact, you are trying to kill Shilang, not to mention, but also want to blame His Royal Highness the Prince, Yun Chong, you are really the Yun family, what a good calculation!" Don't hand over the antidote! β
Her voice was sonorous and powerful.
In addition, as her words fell, the ten princes rolled their eyes up, and they actually fainted in Zhao Guifei's arms!
Zhao Guifei immediately panicked.
"Juro? Juro? She anxiously patted the Ten Princes on the back, trying to wake him up.
But the Ten Princes' eyes were closed, but they didn't react.
"Juro, what's wrong with him!" In a hurry, Zhao Guifei hugged the Ten Princes, rushed to Yun Chong, and asked eagerly: "What about the antidote?" You said that Shiro will only suffer a little and will not worry about his life, is it possible that he is all deceiving this palace? Don't hurry up and get the antidote! β
Yun Chong's pupils shrank.
Before he could react-
Zhao Guifei didn't get his reply, turned her head to look at King Rui, and cried urgently: "Your Royal Highness King Rui, you ask Yun Chong to hand over the antidote quickly!" Juro, he can't hold it anymore! β
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
But anyone with a normal brain can hear the mystery in Zhao Guifei's words.
She may have been in contact with Yun Chong, and even with King Rui.
The poisoning of the Ten Princes is also a killing game laid out in advance!
The Emperor was shocked.
He never imagined that Zhao Guifei, a soft and weak little white flower who had always been powerless, would be ruthless to attack their children.
Is she crazy?
How dare she!
"Zhao, Shilang's poison, you ordered it?" The Emperor asked angrily.
It wasn't until this moment that Zhao Guifei realized that she had said something she shouldn't have said.
She was anxious, frightened and weak-hearted, and knelt on the ground with a "plop", "Your Majesty, concubine...... Concubinage is a last resort...... It was they who forced the concubines ......"
The word "they" in her mouth made the emperor's angry gaze turn to King Rui, "Ah Xun, you also have a part in this matter?" β
King Rui's face showed a blank look.
"Minister...... The minister really didn't know what the concubine meant by this. β
As he spoke, almost without any pause, he turned his head to look at Yun Chong, reached out and grabbed his wrist, "Young Master Yun, please hand over the real antidote, don't play with us anymore, if you have any requirements, just mention it, as long as you can save Shilang, this king is willing to guarantee you with his life." β
The word "play" is used very cleverly.
Yun Chong, who was in his mouth, was still a "pure and honest gentleman".
At this moment, he has become an adulterer who will use swaddling babies to blackmail and play tricks on others.
Shen Lingxi looked at King Rui lightly.
He couldn't hold his breath so quickly, and he wanted to part with Yun Chong?
Could it be that she actually looked down on His Royal Highness King Rui?
However, just as Shen Lingxi was groaning-
Yun Chong, who was not far away, suddenly burst out, snatched the ten princes from Zhao Guifei's hand, and choked King Rui's throat with one hand.
"Don't even come here." Yun Chong assumed a posture of vigilance.
His hand around King Rui's neck was extremely forceful, and in just an instant, King Rui's face was flushed, and he was almost out of breath.
"You're so daring!" The emperor said coldly, "Come on, take this thief down to me!" β
As the words fell, the guards poured in from outside the tent.
"Don't come here!" Yun Chong said sharply: "Let me go, otherwise, one is your only son, and the other is your brother, I will let this big and small all be buried with me." β
As he spoke, he grabbed King Rui by the neck and dragged his wooden wheelchair back out of the tent.
Rui Wang's hands were bruised, and his complexion was so red that he began to blush.
The guards surrounded them, but they did not dare to step forward easily.
The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the ten princes whose life and death were unknown in Yun Chong's arms, and his face was already filled with murderous intent.
"I hate being threatened the most in my life." The Emperor said in a deep voice, "Bring a bow and arrows!" β
As soon as the words fell, there was an internal guard who presented the bow and arrow.
The emperor drew a long bow, and the sharp arrows were aimed at Yun Chong's eyebrows.
Completely ignoring Yun Chong's hands, the struggling King Rui, and the Ten Princes whose fate is unknown.
"Your Majesty, don't do it! That's our only son, Your Majesty! β
Zhao Guifei sobbed and pleaded.
The Emperor looked at her with a heavy gaze, "You still know that he is my only son. He has a stupid birth mother like you, and it is better to die than to be tortured like this, but rather to be relieved. β
Shen Ling's eyes were slightly dark.
She originally thought that the emperor would compromise to the end for the sake of the ten princes.
And the reaction now is completely unexpected for her.
Things got tricky.
"Your Majesty, please think twice." Shen Lingxi stepped forward and said, "The Ten Princes are still saved. β
Seeing this, Chu Yan also bowed to the emperor, "Your Majesty, please think twice, Yun Chong's life is not worth exchanging for Shilang's life." β
The Emperor pursed his lips in displeasure and glanced at the two of them, but he didn't shoot the long arrow in his hand.
Seeing this, Zhao Guifei turned her head to the ten princes in Yun Chong's arms and called softly: "Shilang...... Juro...... Juro, wake up......"
I don't know if it was Zhao Guifei's call that played a role.
Or maybe the Ten Princes were thrown around by him in Yun Chong's arms and were frightened.
The Tenth Prince, whose face was still red and purple a moment ago, suddenly cried out loud with a "wow" again.
This cry is loud and powerful, and it is like two people when Fang Cai is dying.
Yun Chong looked down at the face of the Ten Princes, only to see that a little pustule red sore had just appeared on his face, and it had already begun to dry up.
That was the sign that the medicine he had given to the Ten Princes before was working!
He fell for Shen Lingxi's plan!
Realizing this, Yun Chong stopped and raised his eyes sharply to look at Shen Lingxi.
His eyes were almost dripping with hatred.
"Dead girl, you dare to deceive me!" Yun Chong said hatefully.
As soon as these words came out, everyone present looked at Shen Lingxi's face.
Even the emperor turned his eyes to look at Shen Lingxi, his eyes were dark and dull, which made people unable to distinguish between joy and anger.
Shen Lingxi clasped his hands in his sleeves and walked towards Yun Chong in a leisurely stroll.
"Soldiers don't get tired of cheating. If you are innocent, I will deceive you, and I will not deceive anything. If you only blame yourself, you will be a thief if you are indiscriminate and ill-intentioned. Shen Lingxi deliberately brought a few hints of provocation.
This tone made Yun Chong hate even more in his heart.
From the beginning of his entry into Beijing to the present, it is clear that he has calculated every step seamlessly.
But every time she was sideways, she lost everything.
If it weren't for her, he wouldn't have ended up like this.
Yun Chong was extremely angry and hateful, and the ten princes in his arms were crying and struggling, which made him even more annoyed.
He looked at Shen Lingxi who was walking towards him, and his heart moved slightly.
"I've changed my mind." Yun Chong said to the emperor, "Prepare me a fast horse and promise to let me go, so I will retreat and exchange the crown princess for the ten princes as hostages, how about it?" β
"Yes, I promise you." The Emperor lowered his bow-drawn arm and agreed without thinking about it.
Chu Yan's face sank, and he was about to speak-
I saw Shen Lingxi turn around in shock and look at him deeply.
Based on Chu Yan's understanding of her, this look was a "warning" that he didn't want to speak.
Chu Yan said "not allowed" to his mouth, and swallowed it raw.
Yun Chong held the Ten Princes in one hand and dragged King Rui in the other, and retreated to the outside of the tent.
In the hands of the guards outside the tent, there were countless arrows aimed at him.
It's almost impossible to escape.
When the internal guards brought the fast horse requested by Yun Chong in accordance with the emperor's instructions, Yun Chong's tense nerves finally relaxed a little.
He let go of the hand that was holding King Rui's neck.
"Ahem, ahem......" King Rui leaned down and coughed violently.
Yun Chong pointed to the inner guard closest to Shen Lingxi, "You, go and tie Shen Lingxi's hand to me!" β
The internal guard was stunned, glanced at the emperor in the tent, and saw the emperor nodding, so he took a rope and walked to Shen Lingxi.
"Crown princess, offended."
Shen Lingxi smiled at him, and the hands folded in his sleeves were not let go, so he stretched out in front of the soldier and let him tie up.
When the soldier is tiedβ
"Dead girl, aren't you quite capable?" Yun Chong hooked his hand towards Shen Lingxi, "Come here!" β
Shen Lingxi walked in front of Yun Chong with an expressionless face.
Yun Chong approached her ear and gritted his teeth and said, "From now on, I will definitely let you know that life is better than death......
After saying this, he quickly stuffed the Ten Princes into King Rui's arms, and then went to strangle Shen Lingxi's neck.
And at this moment, Shen Ling's hand in his sleeve was raised suddenly, and he raised it towards him, and immediately white powder came out of her palm.
Yun Chong's face changed slightly, and he reached out to cover his mouth and nose-
At this moment, he only felt that his sleeves were tight, and the whole person was pulled violently!
Caught off guard, Yun Chong fell into the wooden wheelchair where King Rui was.
At the same time, he only felt a cold light flash in front of him, and a sharp dagger was pulled out of King Rui's sleeve and pierced straight into his heart!
