"How is it possible?" The emperor couldn't believe it.
When Prince Zhaoren died in battle, the Crown Princess burned herself to death in the East Palace...
Where did the child come from?
Unless, Princess Zhaoren was not dead at all back then, and the charred corpse that was burned to the point of being unrecognizable was not her at all!
Not only did she escape from the palace, she was already pregnant and gave birth to the child outside the palace.
Mrs. Xie and the Crown Princess are from the same clan.
In addition, Xie Pingbei and Prince Zhaoren were brothers, so it was not impossible that they secretly hid the prince's son.
"Ding Guo Gong wholeheartedly supports Xie Lingxi's rise to power. He seems to be at odds with the Xie family, but in fact they are allies."
This is the second half of the sentence on the note.
This spy is a beautiful woman who is the concubine of the eldest son of Li Yi, Duke of Dingguo.
The emperor was wary of the former prince's maternal family.
One of the two most powerful spies from Mingxin Division was specially sent to lurk for many years to keep an eye on the situation in Dingguo Mansion.
The Duke of Dingguo hid this news for many years.
Only a few people know this secret.
Now because the emperor allowed the army of Duke Dingguo to join the Northern King, some juniors in the palace who did not know the inside story were not satisfied with making trouble. After being punished by Duke Dingguo, the eldest son of Duke Dingguo privately warned his favorite son and quietly leaked a few details. sentence.
Only then did the concubine overhear.
"You actually joined forces to deceive me!" The emperor was shocked, angry, and a little panicked.
Xie Lingxi turned out to be the son of the former prince!
Xie Li's family united to support his rise to power, then...
They couldn't tell when the palace change would happen, so he wanted to take the initiative.
"I--" The emperor was about to issue an order when he suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, his eyes blackened, and he fell down.
"Your Majesty!" Chu Shouchen was shocked and quickly shouted to the serving eunuch:
"Send it to the doctor quickly!"
The eunuch hurriedly went to ask for the imperial doctor. Chu Shouchen stretched out his hand to feel his pulse. He did not understand medical skills, but he was a martial arts practitioner and understood the pulse...
Your Majesty's pulse is extremely weak, as if the oil has run out and the lamp has dried up?
Why so suddenly?
Chu Shouchen was puzzled. His Majesty has always been in good health. Even if he was hit, he would never be the first to catch his breath, right?
Chu Shouchen picked up the mailbox on the imperial case.
Naturally, the spy's secret message must be kept away so that it cannot be seen by the concubines who will arrive later.
But the note was open...
Chu Shouchen saw the ink characters on it at a glance...
His expression suddenly became very shocked.
Xie Lingxi is actually... the queen of Prince Zhaoren?
Chu Shouchen was in disbelief and quickly put away the mailbox.
soon.
A group of imperial doctors from Tai Hospital hurried over.
The imperial concubine and concubine Hui also arrived. They were the biological mothers of King Ying and King Duan respectively.
The queen was banned by the emperor because of the Xun family incident.
Nowadays, the imperial concubine is in charge of the harem, with concubine Hui as her assistant.
"What happened to Your Majesty? Tell me quickly!" the imperial concubine urged anxiously.
The hospital judge of the Taiyuan Hospital checked his pulse several times and asked several other senior doctors to check his pulse...
All the imperial doctors were kneeling on the ground, all looking terrified.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." The judge of Taiyuan Hospital said in a trembling voice:
"Your Majesty has been poisoned for many days, and has been stimulated and poisoned. I'm afraid... I'm afraid he won't be able to wake up..."
As he said that, he kowtowed heavily, "The penalty of death for a humble minister——"
All the imperial doctors kowtowed to apologize.
"How could this happen?" The imperial concubine swayed, her eyes full of shock, and asked anxiously, "How could your majesty be poisoned when you are so good?"
Concubine Hui also looked surprised. I thought that the emperor was in his prime and would have to sit on the throne for a long time, but he didn't expect that he was poisoned?
"Your Majesty must have been poisoned half a month ago. This poison is one of the strange poisons in the world. It is difficult to detect and cannot be detected on ordinary days. Once the poison enters the heart, it will deteriorate rapidly..." the court judge said in fear.
"Save your Majesty quickly!" the imperial concubine said urgently.
"The guilty minister is incompetent..." The court judge kowtowed and fell to the ground.
Your Majesty is hopeless?
The imperial concubine burst into tears immediately and was so sad that she couldn't help herself.
Concubine Hui was worried about another question, "Can Your Majesty still wake up?"
"It should be impossible..." the court judge replied.
Concubine Hui pretended to be sad and said, "Your Majesty...how long can your Majesty hold on? You must never give up on saving your Majesty! You must try any method!"
"The guilty minister is incompetent. Your Majesty has already poisoned his heart. It will only take three days..." The court judge kowtowed again to plead guilty.
The imperial concubine cried so hard that she was speechless.
Concubine Hui's heart sank. The emperor is in a coma and will die soon!
He didn't have time to make a will.
After his death, the prince will take over the throne.
Then wouldn’t her son have no chance?
……
soon.
After receiving the news, the princes and ministers rushed into the palace one after another.
Murong Shicheng was very happy in his heart, but on the outside he threw himself beside the emperor's bed and cried loudly, "Father...Father, please wake up...I can't bear to leave you..."
The plan is done!
Although it was a few days earlier than they expected. (There are still a few days before the normal onset of this poison, but it has been brought forward due to stimulation)
But all the hidden personnel of the Xun family have been summoned to Beijing. Everything is ready!
The Fan family will support him as soon as possible.
The throne belongs to him!
Murong Shili also looked sad, but he was very angry in his heart.
It turns out that after this incident happened to the Xun family, the prince's strength was not as good as before, and he was very likely to rise to power...
As a result, the emperor suddenly became cold.
This must be the murderous hand of the prince!
"Master Chu, can you find out who harmed my father?" Murong Shili looked at Chu Shouchen.
Chu Shouchen said in a deep voice, "We are investigating, but it has not been found out yet."
The emperor's diet was tasted, and everything that was used by the emperor would be carefully screened. It was not easy to get started, and the way to get started must also be very secretive, and it would not be possible to find out the clues in a short time.
Murong Shili felt heavy.
The first time he returned to the palace was to summon the new Marquis Yongning.
"Father-in-law, my father was suddenly killed..." Murong Shili no longer bothered to pretend to be reserved. Now, life, death, wealth, and wealth are all decided by this. He looked at Yongning Marquis and said:
"I believe that the prince must have poisoned my father."
Marquis Yongning looked hesitant, "Mingxin Division found no evidence."
"As long as the prince is captured, there will naturally be evidence." Murong Shili's eyes were dark:
"The prince has lost the Xun family and has no military power! He killed his father and came to power, which is not allowed by nature. It is time for the Qing Dynasty to side with the prince and kill the prince!"
This statement clearly has two meanings.
First, no matter whether it was the prince who did it or not, if you catch him, you can create evidence.
Secondly, the prince had no military power and could not stop them at all. Now he is still a prince, not an emperor who can command his courtiers. King Duan arrested him again on the charge of "parricide". The other courtiers did not know the truth and would not wade into troubled waters at all.
Murong Shili finally said solemnly, "Now in the capital, the person that Xiao Wang trusts the most is his father-in-law. You will marry your daughter to me. We are a family. This matter can only be entrusted to you."
Marquis Yongning was moved.
They are all prosperous.
When Murong Shili came to power, his daughter became the queen and his grandson became the next emperor.
Is it to be the leader of the ministers who follow the dragon's merits, or is it to be suppressed after the prince comes to power?
