Chapter 125: Danger Comes (Third Watch)
"See the king!" Wentu saw that the king was already waiting in the book hall, and his face was slightly red, which should be dyed with wine. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
The king raised his hand and pointed to the seat next to him, and immediately opened his eyes, which were indeed full of desolation and melancholy.
Wentu guessed a few points in his heart when he saw it, the two brothers had just broken up the feast, if the prince fought to reduce the military power of the kings on the basis of reason, the king should be angry at the moment, so it seems that the two kings should have compromised, but it caused the king to be uneasy, it was precisely the change of the eternal queen.
"Sir, what do you say is the most important thing in this world?" the king's eyes wandered, but he didn't look at Wentu.
Wentu once again confirmed his thoughts, and calmly replied: "The love of family and friendship in the mortal world is equally precious, and there is no difference, but when there is a dispute between them, it is also to avoid the important and light, and try to reduce the harm as much as possible." β
"But no matter how you choose, you can't avoid destroying a feeling, what should you do?" the king closed his eyes, as if he did not dare to accept the reality.
Yes, the pain of the deceased wife gathers all kinds of love on the side of the king for a while, and if it moves, it may touch the love of husband and wife, the love of son-in-law, and the love of brothers.
"The king, I know the Great Southern Dynasty in my heart," Wentu simply picked out this matter, "The death of the eternal queen naturally involves a wide range, and even touches the foundation of the southern kingdom, but there is another kind of affection that must not be ignored, that is, the love of father and son!"
"The love of father and son?!" the king suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Wentu motionlessly, "What is Nan'er doing at this time?"
Wentu replied thoughtfully: "No matter how time passes, the truth of history will eventually come out. Today, I heard what King Su said, when the queen of Yongshi used medicine, most of the medicinal juice was personally explored by the second prince, which did not conform to the regulations; during the illness of the first queen, all the infected letters leading to the northern soil were seized for no reason, and many people knew that sooner or later the news would spread, once the northern soil found out that something had changed, the eternal queen would always be the second princess of the northern soil, and she could accuse the southern country of the southern kingdom at any time on trumped-up charges, and go south, if this happened a hundred years after the king, the prince would be innocently harmed, and time has passed, there is no way to find out the truth, and all the blame will be imposed on the son's head, which is not a bad violation of the relationship between father and sonοΌβ
The king was shocked, opened his eyes sharply and raised his hand and said, "Go on." β
"But I think that this is not just the love of father and son, but related to the people of the southern country, the king as the king of the southern kingdom, should put aside all kinds of feelings, take the world as a calculation, solidify the shield, and guard against the spear of others," Wentu exhausted the wisdom of countless novels, and began to persuade the king, "Before the northern soil knows the details, take the lead in finding out how to deal with the northern king of the self-ketong meeting, I think it has been more than ten years at this time, and the northern soil thinks of the king affectionately, maybe it will be light." β
"Reasonable!" the king stood up slowly, "Mr. is true in his words, untie the seal of this king's heart, check, must check, no matter who it is, this king will not be partial." It's just that I don't know where to start right now, sir, do you have a recipe?"
Wentu was also hesitant in his heart, the king of the north could go around by himself, and deal with this matter lightly, but after all, it touched the second prince, so he said: "It is inconvenient for the king to inquire about this matter in person, but there is a way, I implore the king to allow permission to investigate, but once the second king is involved, I hope to think of the brotherhood, let him be allowed a little time, and then make a decision when the north soil has a decision......"
"Of course it's good, of course it's good!" the king agreed.
A few days later, the investigation into the poisoning of the Queen of Eternity ten years ago began.
The palace at night is unusually quiet, the cold wind of the winter moon is entwined in the air, the moon is still slightly full, the silent ancient buildings are sprinkled with a white light, lined with the snow on the ground to cover the whole palace brightly, the candle lights in several palaces are extinguished one by one, only the movement is a team of patrolmen walking cautiously, and the sound of creaking snow is still visible under their feet.
Wentu couldn't sleep for a long time, and the scenes since he shuttled into the Southern Dynasty were presented in front of him, right or wrong could not be judged by himself, and future generations would not judge; there was no hustle and bustle of the city in his ears, and there was no sound at all, this kind of tranquility can be called terrible for modern people, because there has never been anything in Dragon City, even if it is the roar of the train in the early morning, the sound of the whistle, the TV and mobile phone and even the snoring of teammates, the eardrum has been in a state of vibration. This kind of breathlessness quickly turned into loneliness, and Wentu really wanted to rush to Fu Rou, even if it was to listen to her sweet and even breathing!
A few days later, another night, Wen Tu quietly jumped closer to a secret courtyard of King Chen, he was sure that the Taoist master was inside, this was King Chen's killer weapon to hold the two kings hostage, and he would not give up easily.
For many years, the guards had been lax and asleep, but tonight they never woke up!
At dawn, when another group of guards arrived, they suddenly found that there were only two corpses left, and a note was placed on the desk: borrow the Taoist master to keep King Chen safe. This is Wentu's words of delay, no matter how King Chen ponders, the more bizarre the better.
In his own small courtyard, Wentu has always ignored the Taoist.
The Taoist master is nearly sixty years old, his hair and beard are gray, his face is dark, he has been imprisoned for ten years, he has long been depressed, and he finally met a person who saved him, but he didn't bother to pay attention to himself, and he didn't know where to start, and he didn't know whether this person was friend or foe.
Until the next day, the Taoist master couldn't bear it anymore, so he took the initiative to go to the Wentu department to see what he was going to do.
"I have only one purpose to save you," Wentu didn't go to see the Taoist master, because he would definitely feel heartache when he heard his words, and even took a day to stabilize his mentality, "The queen of eternity has poison in medicine, you know how much to say, you are only allowed to say it once, if you lie, I will kill you immediately!"
The Taoist master has wanted to say these words for many years, since he is a hero who rescued himself, how can he have a trace of concealment, and immediately opened his mouth to state: "One day many years ago, someone in the palace approached me to the harem, and later learned that the person who diagnosed me was the queen at that time. I asked the queen, and examined it carefully, and the queen often had a burning pain in her throat, and her nails had turned black, and the whole body symptom must be like poisoning, and the old man thought that it was arsenic powder into the body, and the person who poisoned it was extremely cunning, dissolved the arsenic powder into water, and only took a small amount of it and mixed it into the medicine, and in the long run, the poisoned person would die. The old man immediately suggested that the queen should not continue to drink, although there were sequelae of the disease, but after recuperation, it would not harm her life, but the queen dealt with it calmly, and did not instruct the old man to expel the poison, and then he was imprisoned until now, and he did not know what happened. β
The Taoist master finished talking about the situation in one breath, and when he saw Wentu, he was deeply puzzled, thinking that he did not trust himself, and immediately added: "If the queen is alive and there is no healing, the joints will be black, and if she is sick, the bones will be ......."
"Shut up!" Wentu shouted fiercely, "You are so born here to cultivate, I will not imprison you, you can come and go freely, but you must know that when you get out of this hut, maybe someone will kill you, and after a while, you will be fine, and you can leave." β
Wentu knew that the eternal queen was poisoned, but he still couldn't help but verify it, but his heart was like a knife.
If there is a disaster in the Southern Kingdom, as far as the current situation is concerned, the poisoning of the eternal queen is a matter, is this his real task?
Now that the north and south are pacified, King Chen and the second king have no military power, it's time to make a move!
Wentu immediately returned to the palace and sent someone to call Fu Rou.
"Fu Rou, you said that you remember the events of your childhood clearly, can you still remember them now?" Wentu asked.
How can you not remember, Fu Rou was instantly shy when she heard it, and she remembered it vividly on her back and in her arms, and she never forgot it at all, so she nodded deeply.
"Let me ask you, when you were seven years old, I took you to this harem to meet your sister Wang, remember that you didn't allow the queen to take medicine at that time, do you still have any memory?"
Fu Rou immediately replied: "Yes, there were other flavors in that medicinal juice at that time, besides herbs!"
"Do you know what it smells like now?"
Fu Rou recalled carefully, as if she had returned to Sister Wang's side, it was the tenth day of the seventh month of the ninth year of the Great King's calendar, and the medicine girl brought in a bowl of medicinal juice, "The Queen, it's time to use medicine." "It's delicious!" he suddenly shouted, grabbing Sister Wang's hand, as if he was afraid that she would drink the medicine. The queen whispered, "It's the smell of medicine." "Bad smell!" Fu Rou didn't give up.
"That medicine is poisonous!" Fu Rou came back to her senses, and finally smelled the smell of the medicine again under Wentu's prompting, and then tears flowed down, staring at Wentu extremely aggrieved, "Brother Wentu, I sniffed out, Sister Wang's medicine has the smell of arsenic!"
It's arsenic!
Wentu hurriedly stepped forward to comfort Fu Rou, patted her soft shoulder and said, "Don't be sad, Brother Wentu is in charge of you!"
Fu Rou nodded fiercely, and the fact that she had never dared to think about it woke up under Wentu's point that it was definitely not a medicinal chongke, but mixed with arsenic powder!
Wentu was furious, and secretly rushed to the second prince's palace with Su Shi and Su Shi overnight, and a contest began.
The two of them saw the two kings, and the two kings neither gave up their seats nor expelled them, they sat down and looked at Wentu and Su Shi coldly and asked, "Coming to the prince's mansion so late, there must be something important, let's say it." β
The two sat down stupidly, glanced at each other, Wentu saw that Su Shi had palpitations, and he spoke: "The king ordered me to thoroughly investigate the cause of the death of the eternal queen eleven years ago, because he died of illness, naturally I want to ask the prince for some details......"
"Even if he dies of illness, what else is the cause of death?" The second king was expressionless, not shocked at all.
"I don't think so," Wentu's attitude is resolute, and it is almost irrefutable, "Xiaomin thinks that the eternal queen is poisoned......"
"Do you have proof?" began to tremble with the hands of the two kings on their laps.
Wentu shook his head and said calmly, "No." β
Su Shi was stunned for a moment, obviously there was a Taoist master and a medicine girl to testify, why did he say that there was no evidence?
The prince was also stunned, and he had no evidence to reproach himself, and he became even more afraid: "What is the reason for you to question this king without evidence?"
Wentu replied with a faint smile: "Because the prince will tell the evidence himself!"
"Bold!" This was a tease, and he suddenly drew his sword and attacked Ventu, but he didn't dare to hurt the other party, it was the king's tenant, and he just wanted to sword Wentu to show his anger.
At this time, Wentu was no longer the "guard" of the year, and he raised his hand a little to play the sword skill, and lightly applied the palm technique, the prince's long sword fell to the ground, and he involuntarily fell to the chair.
The guards outside the door suddenly heard that there was something wrong and immediately rushed into the door, seeing Wentu staring at each other, the prince stumbled, and the king of Dingfei Palace Chengsu made a move, hula rushed to Wentu, and it was naturally not against the king's law to take down this little person.
Su Shi was shocked, the head of the room attacked the prince, this is to be condemned!
"Stop, get out!" cried the Prince, who was aware of the danger coming!
