Chapter 51: The Sin of Desire
In an uproar, the queen stumbled over.
looked at the platform that vomited blood and fell into a coma, and almost fainted.
The emperor was furious and immediately summoned the imperial doctor to treat the prince.
He saw that the blood vomited by the prince was a little black, and a thought suddenly came to him.
At the same time, his eyes swept over the hundreds of officials and family members who were kneeling on the ground, and angrily reprimanded: "Someone dares to poison the prince under my nose!" ”
"Everyone, no one is allowed to leave the palace without my permission! Violators will be killed! ”
And they all fell on their knees.
In order to kneel and prostrate, Chen could only temporarily put Qiao Wanshu on the ground.
The cold air of marble came through her clothes, and she couldn't help but shiver, and complained in her heart: [What poisoning! It was obviously the crown prince who was assassinated on the way back, and he rushed back with all his strength before he recovered. 】
[The injury recurred, hurting the lungs, so I vomited black blood.] 】
Qiao Jingyang turned his head slightly in surprise and looked at Qiao Wanshu who was lying on the ground, playing with his fingers boringly.
How so? When was the crown prince assassinated?
He has been with the prince all the way, how could he not know that he had been assassinated?
A cold gaze swept over and pierced Qiao Wanshu's body, with a slight tingling sensation.
She followed that gaze, only to find that Princess Minglai was withdrawing her gaze, a sinister smile on her lips.
[It's going to be bad! 】
Before Qiao Wanshu could finish a single thought, she heard Princess Minglai say loudly: "Father, Erchen thinks that the prince's brother is not like being poisoned, but like he has been caught in witchcraft. ”
"Nonsense! Minglai, it's about the prince, and I can't allow you to talk nonsense here. ”
The emperor naturally didn't believe it.
He firmly believed that the prince was poisoned, and even more suspicious that someone wanted to poison him, but the prince inadvertently suffered it on his behalf.
"Father, Minglai is not talking nonsense!"
Princess Minglai turned her head to look at the Qiao family, and said excitedly: "Erchen heard that not long ago, Qiao Xiang's mansion invited a lot of goddesses and gods, as well as Taoist priests and the like. ”
"It's a practice again, and it's a dancing god. The house is full of charms, not to mention, and there is a miasma of smoke everywhere. It must be a witchcraft. ”
"Qiao Xiang's fourth son, Qiao Jingyang, is the companion of the prince's elder brother, and he never leaves an inch every day."
"At this time, the prince's brother had an accident, why was it so coincidental?"
After saying this, the faces of everyone in the Qiao family changed drastically, and Qiao Jinghan was even more remorseful.
He hated himself for being so impulsive at the time, and went to the street to pull those charlatans back to his house without asking.
Now it has affected the Qiao family in the end.
In case the emperor condemns the Qiao family because of this, then won't he become the eternal sinner of the Qiao family!
When Qiao Wanshu saw him like this, she became very weak when she wanted to complain.
[Look.] That Princess Minglai just wants to take revenge! 】
[Third brother, you can't avoid this turmoil, even if it's not today, it will be tomorrow. 】
[That incident is a hidden danger, and it will erupt sooner or later. 】
Qiao Jinghan gritted his teeth, glanced at Princess Minglai's smug appearance again, and suddenly got up and arched his hand to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is caused by the minister, please explain to Rong Chen!" ”
"Okay, I'll give you a chance to explain."
The emperor returned to the top and sat down, staring at Qiao Jinghan with dim eyes.
"Your Majesty, the courtier's personality is special, not only to punish his wife, but also to attract evil spirits."
"I'm afraid that if I say it, it will make my father and mother worry, so when my father and mother ask, they only say that it is nothing."
"That day, the minister woke up in the middle of the night with a convulsion, and he was in a state of flux. I had no choice but to send someone out of the house early in the morning and invite someone to calm down for Weichen, but I didn't expect that those were all charlatans and liars. ”
"It's not a small battle, but it's not effective. It was my grandmother who asked the minister not to believe those liars and went to Xiangguo Temple for two days. Copying scriptures and reciting Buddha, meditating and recuperating the mind, this is how the minister can regain peace. ”
"It's definitely not a witch trick and a curse on the prince! Your Majesty, please check it out! ”
The emperor simply waved his hand and asked the chief attendant who had gone to check Qiao Zhongtian's study before to run away again.
This time, they came back quite quickly, and the result of returning to the emperor was the same as Qiao Jinghan's.
Qiao Wanshu thought lazily: [It's still grandmother who thinks about it thoroughly! At that time, this joke was made, and the third brother was immediately sent to Xiangguo Temple. He also knocked the whole family up. 】
[Sure enough! It came in handy! 】
"Your Majesty, these are all the words of Qiao's mansion, and the testimony is also a subordinate in his mansion, so you can say whatever you want."
Liu Zhan immediately stood up against it.
"Yes, Your Majesty, you can't just listen to Qiao Xiangfu's self-proof, those goddesses and gods must also be found out, and ask for clarification."
The queen actually followed Liu Zhan's statement.
This surprised Qiao's family as well.
Qiao's family is powerful, but he has never offended the queen in anything.
Could it be that based on just a vain guess, the queen wants to convict the Qiao family?
"Father, my son believes that the Qiao Xiangjia will not curse the imperial brother with witchcraft."
The Nine Emperor Princes also stepped forward.
It's just that what he chose was to speak for the Qiao family.
"The third prince of Qiao also saved the prince's brother, but the father forgot?"
The Nine Emperors mentioned this point, and the emperor remembered it.
At that time, the prince traveled with him and was targeted by assassins.
It just so happened that Qiao Jinghan was playing around and catching up, blocking a knife and an arrow for the prince, and was seriously injured and bedridden for three months before he could barely get up.
The emperor nodded.
Let the prince owe this life-saving grace, but it is more beneficial to the Qiao family than to curse him to death.
He glanced at Qiao Jinghan and said meaningfully: "The witchcraft is a trick to deceive those folk village husbands, how can you be deceived by this kind of deception?" ”
"So much so that this kind of incident almost affected your whole family."
Qiao Jinghan shouted "the minister is stupid" in his mouth, and it seemed that this matter was about to turn the page.
But the queen said anxiously: "Your Majesty, is the matter of the prince so unclear?" ”
"Why, the queen is a little restless."
The emperor soothed: "Qiao Aiqing's family will stay in the palace first, and wait for the prince to wake up and ask clearly, and then make a difference." ”
When he said this, the queen couldn't find fault anymore.
Qiao Wanshu stared at Princess Minglai, and prayed in her heart: [Dog Emperor, quickly send this-stirring stick to kiss, so as not to stay here and continue to plague my family. 】
At this point, the birthday feast could not continue.
The Queen Mother excused herself for lack of words, and returned to Ci'an Palace first.
Qiao's family was all waiting outside the prince's east palace, but Qiao Wanshu was placed in the side hall and temporarily taken care of by the female officials in the palace.
She also had a tense nerves for a day and soon became drowsy.
The female officer saw that she was well-behaved and did not make trouble, and seemed to be asleep, so she quietly withdrew, ready to come back with some honey water.
Qiao Wanshu was half asleep and half awake, and suddenly saw a familiar figure creeping into the house and walking briskly towards the bed.
[Fang Yan'er! 】
Qiao Wanshu's heart sank, and she was suddenly so frightened that she fell asleep.
And Fang Yan'er had already arrived at the bedside, reaching out to her neck,
