Tianhuang nobleman

Qi Xiao raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Deqing wiped the sweat from his forehead and said in a low voice, "It was about lunch just now..."

"Because the emperor's health is not good, now the imperial meals are placed in the Chengqian Palace. If the empresses of the palaces have any wishes, they will be sent to the Chengqian Palace. The Linzhi Palace of the Yonghua Palace and the Yongshou Palace were all served during lunch." Sent some food over there." Jiang Deqing paused, and said in a low voice, "Who knows that something went wrong with these meals."

Bai Ren was overjoyed: "The emperor ate it?!"

Qi Xiao couldn't help laughing, hugged Bai Ren from behind, lowered his head and kissed him on the cheek with a light smile and said, "It's so easy, you can't think he is stupid."

In front of outsiders, Bai Ren couldn't take it anymore, so he quickly hid aside, but Qi Xiao didn't let him go, hugged him and said with a smile: "Eunuch, continue."

Jiang Deqing also laughed, lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "Returning to the prince, there is no... Today in the Chengqian Palace are the Empress, Concubine Xue, and His Highness the Third Prince who are accompanying the Emperor for dinner. His Highness is very filial, knowing The emperor has a sore throat and cannot eat hot food or rice. He tastes every dish first, and only when he thinks it is warm, he asks the palace servants to present it to the emperor. It is usually like this, but today something went wrong, half of the lunch was eaten At that time, the third prince suddenly had a nosebleed, his eyes were dizzy, he vomited continuously, and then passed out. Everyone in the hall was frightened to death, especially Concubine Xue, who almost fainted, and the old lady still slapped him hard. Concubine Xue was rescued after pinching people. After waking up, Concubine Xue Guifei had no demeanor, her hair was loose and her make-up was messed up. She hugged the third prince and cried loudly. Not long after, the imperial doctor came. After the diagnosis, she said that she had eaten it by mistake. Things to eat."

Qi Xiao curled his lips into a smile, which was interesting, it wasn't poisoning, but "accidental ingestion".

Bai Ren frowned: "What does this mean?"

"The imperial physician did say that at first, but Concubine Xue didn't listen and said that someone must have poisoned her, so she immediately asked the imperial physician to test the poison. Empress Feng was impatient and sneered a few words, meaning that Concubine Xue was too motivating to mobilize the crowd. Naturally, it depends on what the emperor wants." Jiang Deqing said with a faint smile, "After the emperor calmed down, he asked someone to take the third prince down for treatment, and then ordered someone to announce his most reassuring two words, which were very tight-lipped. An imperial physician came, and then asked all the idlers in the palace to retreat, leaving only Empress Feng Xue Guifei and Fu Hailu three people. Several people watched the two imperial physicians carefully investigate. The two imperial physicians were very careful and spent almost half of the time. It was diagnosed in an hour, and it was a bowl of white fungus soup that went wrong."

"Because the arsenic and other poisons were not used, the silver chopsticks were not tested. The imperial doctor had to taste it repeatedly before confirming that the white fungus in the white fungus soup was real, but the soup was made of old ginseng soup, mixed with more than a dozen It is stewed with hot medicinal materials, not to mention that many of them are mutually exclusive, just the thick bowl of old ginseng soup, people who are not nourished will not be able to stand it after drinking it, the third prince just tasted it. After tasting it, there was such a scene, it can be seen that it is powerful, and the most important thing is... If this soup is really drunk by the emperor who is suffering from fever, then..."

Bai Ren shook his head regretfully: "Even if you don't die, you have to lose half your life..."

Qi Xiao felt a little regretful in his heart, but he couldn't help but laughed again: "Listen to your father-in-law, why are you always teasing me?!"

Bai Ren frowned, and distinguished in a low voice: "Where did I tease Your Highness..."

Jiang Deqing couldn't help laughing, and continued with a smile: "This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is... This bowl of white fungus soup and lotus seed soup was originally made by Concubine Xue."

Bai Ren was taken aback, Qi Xiao raised his eyebrows: "And then?"

"Then Concubine Xue naturally didn't believe it, but the evidence was convincing. She couldn't help crying out for injustice. Empress Feng immediately ordered someone to take Concubine Xue down. Naturally, Concubine Xue didn't do it, and shouted for injustice, saying that if she did it herself, why did she have to do it herself? And she clearly knew that the third prince wanted to taste it for the emperor first, no matter what she did, she would not hurt her son, but Empress Feng insisted on killing her and said yes, and there was a commotion in the hall The dog jumped, and Fu Hailu looked back at the emperor, only to see that the emperor was sitting on the couch, and suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood after a while, and lay down straight."

Bai Renfu became happy again: "Then what? Can I still be rescued?"

Qi Xiao's stomach ached from a smile, Jiang Deqing smiled and nodded: "There are two imperial physicians guarding them, so they can be rescued naturally. After being rescued, the emperor turned pale and shook his voice, and ordered everyone in the hall to seal their mouths. King Mingjun came, the case was simple, but it was solved within half an hour... It was indeed not the medicine given by Concubine Xue Gui, there was still some tremella and lotus seed soup left in the small kitchen of Yonghua Palace, it was all good, King Mingjun He took the girl from Concubine Xue Gui’s kitchen, and recruited her before he could torture her to extract a confession.”

"The girl said that she took money from the second prince. This matter was originally ordered by the second prince. After the king of Ming County asked for an order, he searched the Zhaoyang Palace of the second prince. When he checked the things in the warehouse, he found that there were indeed few A hundred-year-old body that has been formed, asked the second prince where the ginseng went, the second prince didn't say anything, and then asked the second prince if he knew the girl, the second prince was vague, and asked the second prince if it was the medicine he gave, The second prince was furious immediately, yelling that he was wronged, as if he had just found out, the King of Ming County ordered someone to bring the girl up to confront the second prince, but he didn't want the girl to kowtow to the second prince after she came up, then turned around and hit her head on the ground. On the pillar... it's gone."

Qi Xiao turned his head to look at Bai Ren, and the two exchanged eyes, understanding everything.

Bai Ren whispered: "What did the emperor say? Has the second prince been convicted?"

Qi Xiao sneered: "How is that possible."

Jiang Deqing bowed and said: "Your Highness clearly sees that the emperor did not attack the second prince, he just put him under house arrest in his own palace, and ordered everyone to keep their mouths shut, and then Concubine Xue made a big fuss, asking the emperor to give his son justice , who knows...the emperor just took a deep look at Concubine Xue Gui and didn't say anything."

Qi Xiao smiled faintly: "What about now? Is Qi Qi okay?"

Jiang Deqing nodded: "After boiling the mung bean soup, I poured it in turn, poured it, spit it, poured it, although I'm not human anymore, but it's okay."

Qi Xiao nodded: "That's fine, let them keep an eye on it, and come back to me immediately if there is anything else, go."

Jiang Deqing bowed and stepped back.

Bai Ren frowned, and said for a while: "It's already at this time, the emperor is not confused."

Qi Xiao chuckled: "It's his body that's bad, not his brain. Although the medicine can make people irritable, it won't make people stupid. He's got the kind of mind he should have. After all, it's Concubine Xue Gui this time. Too much haste... Seeing that the emperor reprimanded Qi Hua again, she thought she had seized the opportunity, and hurriedly prescribed medicine to make Qi Hua look like she wanted revenge. Unfortunately, she was in a hurry. Many places were too deliberate, and the emperor was not stupid. Yes, it's natural to see something tricky."

Bai Ren pursed his lips: "However, he may not necessarily believe that this is Concubine Xue's bitter trick. After all, there is no evidence, and Concubine Xue has been favored for so many years, so she must be scheming. How could she honestly confess her guilt? It's also uncertain, so I don't attack it for the time being, Your Highness...do you want to add fuel to the flames?"

Qi Xiao shook his head: "No need, Feng family and Xue family, whoever is too popular is not good for me, why don't we just let them fight like this, make them unhappy, and make the people on both sides more nervous, that's fine. Just sit back and watch what happens."

Bai Ren was still not reconciled: "The great opportunity, let the emperor lightly reveal it like this?"

"How could it be?" Qi Xiao lowered his head and kissed Bai Ren's lips indulgently, and said in a low voice, "My own son has made such a fuss for the throne, even a heartless person will be angry, and he I'm still not sure which son did it, he was shocked at first, and then became angry, and then he couldn't rest in his heart, and his illness is like adding insult to injury, so..."

Bai Renfu went to his heart and laughed softly: "So at this time, we can increase the dose of the medicine. He only thought that his illness from being angry had worsened, so he couldn't be suspicious of anything else."

Qi Xiao smiled: "My lord is wise."

Bai Ren shook his head and smiled, and said slowly in a low voice: "If this kind of thing happens one after another in the imperial court, everyone will be discouraged by the emperor, and feel that it is best for you to succeed. It is also what everyone expects. The emperor himself should think about it clearly. If he insists on changing the crown prince before he dies, it will definitely cause turmoil in the government and the public. He should understand what the materials of his sons are. It is difficult for him to be someone he cannot fight. Do you want to expect your son to inherit his father's will after succeeding to the throne, and get rid of you for him?"

The more Bai Ren thought about it, the more he felt that the future was bright, and he couldn't help but shrink into Qi Xiao's arms and whispered: "In the end, if the emperor is not stupid, in order to protect his son and save the imperial city from disaster, he will definitely pass on the throne obediently. your."

Qi Xiao's heart skipped a beat, he hesitated for a while and didn't speak.

If it wasn't for Bai Ren's worry, Qi Xiao actually wanted to tell him that from the beginning to the end, he didn't want to wait until the emperor died before succeeding to the throne.

At the beginning, the emperor snatched the throne from him, but now he has to wait for him to die before letting him return it to him?No, Qi Xiao would not be so useless, even if the emperor's death was planned by him alone.

The purest blood of the Qi royal family will never be reconciled. Like Taizu and Emperor Wu, Qi Xiao is born with plunder in his bones. What he likes and wants is always robbed by himself. Given, are not the best.

It doesn't matter whether he is trying to save his breath or comforting the spirit of Empress Xiaoxian, Emperor Wu, Qi Xiao has made up his mind since he started administering the medicine, and at the last moment, he wants to make the emperor feel resentful and resentful, Cursing to hand over the throne to himself, let him clearly understand the pain of handing over power to others, let him watch himself wearing a uniform and wearing a crown on the dragon throne, let him watch himself travel across Kyushu Order the world to enjoy the support of hundreds of officials and all people, so that it can be regarded as true revenge.

Qi Xiao suppressed the vicious thoughts that kept churning in his heart, lowered his head and kissed Bai Ren tenderly. From then on, the imperial city will definitely become more and more chaotic, and the court will definitely become more and more tense. Send him back to Lingnan, and pick him up in person after the big event is completed.

Qi Xiao looked down at Bai Ren's gentle eyes and smiled in his heart, Bai Ren would be considerate of himself and listen to his own words.
