Gao Bingyan was about to leave as he spoke, Xiao Rongshen grabbed him and pulled Gao Bingyan back: "Gao Xiang, don't be so anxious, listen to this king...... Listen to me finish. ”

Gao Bingyan stared at Xiao Rongshen: "What does Your Majesty mean?"

"I mean," Xiao Rongshen paused and said resolutely, "Raid the house." ”

Gao Bingyan felt a thrill in his heart, although he had already hated this Wei family to the core, but he always felt a little wrong when he raided the Wei family at this time. The Wei family is the nominal maiden family of the crown princess, and the emperor has just taken over, and the new emperor is going to raid the former princess's maiden family, which is somewhat suspected of being a thief. It is not justified to ascend the throne with the prince, and if some horses are shown at this time, those ministers who have opposing opinions will have something to say.

Seeing that Gao Bingyan was not moving, Xiao Rongshen asked, "What's wrong, could it be that Gao Xiang thinks it's inappropriate?"

"The old minister dared to ask, did His Majesty raid the Wei Mansion take revenge on Wei Yuanxi, or did he take a fancy to the Wei family's private property?"

Gao Bingyan's question stopped Xiao Rongshen, if it is the reason, all factors account for it, but whether it is revenge or greed for money, it is not very good to say.

Xiao Rongshen's face turned pale for a while, and he didn't answer and asked, "What does Gao Xiang mean by this?"

Gao Bingyan smiled: "Your Majesty, the old minister doesn't mean anything else, the old minister just feels it, and now it's a bit too hasty to raid the Wei Mansion, right? Besides, the Wei family is also Aunt Wei's maiden family, so Wei Dongshu has no blood relationship with Wei Yuanxi, but he is a real father and daughter with your Aunt Wei." He's your father-in-law, do you want to ask Aunt Wei about this?"

In the past, Xiao Rongshen would never have considered Yuan Jia's thoughts, but now, for hundreds of days and nights, the two of them have sympathized with each other and depended on each other, which has made them feel a kind of mutual affection.

Xiao Rongshen thought of Yuan Jia, and his heart as solid as a rock suddenly softened.

"What Gao Xiang said is a problem, since this is the case, let's surround the Wei Mansion first, and then make a decision after I discuss it with Yuan Jia. ”

Gao Bingyan arched his hand: "The old minister will do it immediately." ”

Gao Bingyan left, and in the empty dormitory, except for the emperor's corpse, there were only two people missing, Xiao Rongshen and the housekeeper. The housekeeper looked at the emperor's corpse, with a look of compassion in his eyes, speaking of which, the emperor and him are also blood relatives, and they are considered to be one of his elders.

"Shaosheng, what are you looking at?" Xiao Rongshen shouted.

The butler raised his head: "Your Majesty, do you have any orders?"

Xiao Rongshen was very satisfied with the new title of "Your Majesty", with a smile on his face, and said, "Shaosheng, I have something to tell you to do." ”

Xiao Rong stared at him for a while: "The old woman in the middle palace is very disgusted, and several times she has relied on her identity as the queen to suppress my mother. Why don't you go and give her a hundred. Xiao Rongshen said, put his hand under his neck, ripped off the jade Guanyin who was hiding the poison, and handed it to the housekeeper.

The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, Xiao Rongshen had already used this poison to kill his biological father, and now he still used this poison to poison his mother-in-law?

"Your Majesty, the first emperor has just died, if the queen mother also goes with her, how many times will it be doubtful, it is better to leave her first, and it is not too late to kill her after the rumors. ”

"What do you know, that old woman's heart is very poisonous, if you don't strike first, you will definitely be calculated by her. Xiao Rongshen said yes, and forcibly stuffed Jade Guanyin into the hands of the housekeeper.

The housekeeper held the jade Guanyin with both hands, and felt a dilemma in his heart.

"This ......"

"What's the matter, Shaosheng, you shouldn't have compassion for that old woman, right?"

"The concubine thinks that the housekeeper's move is very long-term!"

Xiao Rongshen was facing the housekeeper when he suddenly heard a clear female voice ringing in his ears. As soon as Xiao Rongshen raised his head, he came from the entrance of the hall wearing a green shirt. When she stood still, she took off the tulle on her face, and it turned out to be Zhao Kezhen.

Zhao Kezhen didn't have any skills, Xiao Rongshen had already known this, and he didn't have much respect for her, so he was a little arrogant when he spoke: "Isn't this Concubine Zhao of the Prince's Mansion?" The prince conspired with the eunuch to usurp power, and I was about to send someone to bring him to justice, so Concubine Zhao sent him to the door, and she was really scrambling. ”

In the face of Xiao Rongshen's sarcasm, Zhao Kezhen only smiled faintly. The word "I" in Xiao Rongshen's mouth, Zhao Kezhen heard it clearly. She changed her words quickly, and she was not surprised at all: "Your Majesty's words, the concubines don't understand much." The huge capital has just finished reading the jokes of my Zhao family, and the prince can't wait to break off with me, so why should I live and die with him?"

Xiao Rong looked at her with deep interest, although this woman was not as tough as Wei Yuanxi's wrists, she was not too stupid.

"If you don't come to live and die together, what is Concubine Zhao here for?"

"The concubine knows that there is a problem in front of His Majesty that cannot be solved, so she has come to offer a plan. Zhao Kezhen bowed down and knelt at Xiao Rongshen's feet.

"Oh? Xiao Rongshen turned around and sat on the red sandalwood chair where the emperor drank tea.

Zhao Kezhen said with a smile: "The imperial examination died, and His Majesty's succession to the throne is because His Majesty is kind-hearted, and the people dare not obey ......."

"Okay, okay," Xiao Rongshen frowned impatiently: "There is no need to talk about these flattering nonsense, you can talk about my problem." ”

Zhao Kezhen lowered her head slightly: "Your Majesty's so-called difficult thing is nothing more than the queen of the middle palace." His Majesty has his own biological mother, Liu Guifei, and now that the imperial examination has died, the queen of the middle palace and His Majesty's biological mother are both queen mothers, but the prestige of the queen of the middle palace is very high, and His Majesty is worried that she will interfere in the government in the future, so he is troubled. If you want to get rid of this person, you feel that it is too eye-catching, and if you don't get rid of her, you will leave yourself with a stumbling block. The concubine didn't say anything wrong, right?"

Xiao Rongshen snorted softly, which was considered a default.

Zhao Kezhen smiled slightly: "Your Majesty knows the story of Dayu's water control, Dayu's father just came to cover the water, and in the end not only did not block the flood, but also flooded." However, Dayu is used to dredge and guide according to the situation, which solves the flood disaster. Now, the phoenix seal of the queen of the middle palace is a flood, why doesn't Your Majesty learn from Dayu?"

Xiao Rongshen stared at this Zhao Kezhen, and spit out three words without feeling: "Go on." ”

"Your Majesty, please think about it, your majesty ascends the throne, and you need a respectable person to sit in the middle palace behind you, although your majesty's biological mother is kind-hearted, but she definitely does not have the authority of the queen of the middle palace, why don't your majesty make use of it?"

The housekeeper interjected: "Concubine Zhao thinks very well, but the queen of the middle palace is the biological mother of the prince, and she is the master of protecting the calves, and the court is now about to arrest the prince, how can she cooperate with you and me? ”

Zhao Kezhen shook her head: "Your Majesty, there is a way for the concubine." The queen's favorite is the crown prince, as long as His Majesty controls the prince and wants the queen to do anything, she will not refuse. Even if His Majesty wanted her to kill the Donglin Sect Master with her own hands, the queen would never say a word. ”

Xiao Rongshen laughed loudly and killed the Donglin Sect Master with his own hands? This is the real purpose of Zhao Kezhen's coming here. The housekeeper glanced at Zhao Kezhen sideways, and sneered: "I'm afraid that Concubine Zhao didn't come today to give advice to His Majesty, but to avenge herself." ”

Zhao Kezhen said: "Your Majesty, this method kills two birds with one stone, it can not only end Your Majesty's troubles, but also avenge the concubine's personal vendetta, the concubine body does not think that this law will harm Your Majesty, since this is the case, then why not do it?"

Xiao Rongshen was silent for a moment, then stretched out his hand and nodded at Zhao Kezhen: "You want Wei Yuanxi's life." ”

Zhao Kezhen pursed her lips, remembering the humiliation and torture she had suffered in the Prince's Mansion, and said resolutely: "Yes, the concubine can't wait to skin her and file her bones, and her soul will be relegated to the Nine Secluded Lands." Zhao Kezhen raised her face and asked bluntly, "Doesn't Your Majesty hate?"

Xiao Rongshen knew that what she said was Wei Yuanxi turning himself into a eunuch, and he couldn't hold it for a while, and the muscles on his face twitched violently. He scolded in a low voice: "Presumptuous." ”

Zhao Kezhen bowed and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, as long as Your Majesty adopts the opinion of the concubine, the concubine is willing to follow the work of dogs and horses." ”

"How do you say that?" Xiao Rongshen was a little curious.

Zhao Kezhen took out a small green jade gourd bottle from her purse and put her hands in front of Xiao Rongshen. Xiao Rongshen was a little suspicious, but he didn't reach out to take it, so he gave the housekeeper a look. The butler took the gourd bottle, uncorked it, and leaned it to his nose.

"Don't smell it!" Zhao Kezhen exclaimed.

"This poison is called 'sorrowful haunting', and it is a strange poison from the Western Regions. ”

"Really, how can your Zhao family always get the treasures of the Western Regions?" Xiao Rongshen pointed to the green jade gourd bottle: "Is there anything special about this poison?"

Zhao Kezhen smiled, like a few treasures: "Back to Your Majesty, this poison is colorless and has a light fragrance." As long as a person takes this small bottle, whether he is a general with outstanding martial arts or a monk who has attained enlightenment outside the world, he can not endure the torture of sorrow, this poison attacks once every seven days, and when it occurs, it will be chilled all over the body, like falling into an ice cellar, and then it will be like throwing into a furnace, and the burning pain is unbearable. The antidote should be taken every seven days, and the antidote cannot remove the root of the disease, but can only delay the toxicity. With this strange poison in hand, whoever His Majesty wants to be obedient will be obedient. ”

As soon as Xiao Rongshen stretched out his hand, the housekeeper brought the vial to Xiao Rongshen's hand.

"Is this medicine really so miraculous? What if you don't take the antidote after seven days?"

Zhao Kezhen smiled treacherously: "If you don't take the antidote, people won't die." But on the first day, his whole body was as cold as snow for twelve hours. On the second day he burned all over his body like fire for twelve hours. Cycle. After seven days of going back and forth like this, the whole body will be tingling and numb, like thousands of ants crawling over the body. Poisoned people are afraid of itching until they scratch their skin and tear their intestines until they die. ”

Xiao Rongshen listened, glanced at the housekeeper, and shivered all around. Stretched out his hand and handed the medicine bottle to Zhao Kezhen, he had to avoid such a terrible thing, in case he got a little bit of it, wouldn't he suffer a lot?

Seeing that Xiao Rongshen was a little bit of a hit, Zhao Kezhen happily accepted the gourd bottle: "If Your Majesty can promise your concubine one thing, the concubine is willing to use this poison to remove the queen's stumbling block for Your Majesty." ”

"You say. Xiao Rongshen raised his eyebrows slightly.
