Chapter 366 Xiao Chenyan was poisoned again
He really wanted to know whether Shen Ruzhou, who was wearing the queen's dress in the dream, was saved by the imperial doctor, but now that he woke up from the dream, he had no way of knowing.
Concubine De lay anxiously beside Xiao Chenyan's mouth before she heard his words clearly. Although she was dissatisfied with Shen Ruzhou, she hated her for not finding a quiet place to her death.
But for the sake of Xiao Chenyan's health, Concubine De still said warmly: "Chen Yan, don't worry, we have sent someone to look for you, and there should be news soon. You have to cherish your body and don't dare to get angry again. .”
Concubine De didn't care about Shen Ruzhou's life or death at all. Anyway, Xiao Chenyan's poison was almost cured, and it didn't matter whether Shen Ruzhou was there or not.
Xiao Chenyan was still worried, so he pushed himself up and wanted to find Shen Ruzhou in person.
That dream was too real, even the heartache in the dream was extremely real. Shen Ruzhou could not die, no matter in the dream or in reality.
At this time, Emperor Yong'an sent a eunuch to convey a message, "King Wu Cheng, the regent has found out your poisoning case, and the emperor has summoned you to the minister's study room to listen together."
Emperor Yong'an summoned him, so Xiao Chenyan had no choice but to suppress the anxiety in his heart and went to the study room.
King Yu also received the same summons. He did not expect Beixiu Yan to find out the results so quickly, but he had already made complete preparations, so he did not panic at all.As soon as he entered the study room, King Yu pretended to be concerned about Xiao Chenyan's health and showed deep brotherly love in front of Emperor Yong'an.
"How is your third brother's health? I heard that you were poisoned, but I worry about you day and night."
King Yu spoke with words of concern, and looked at Xiao Chenyan's haggard look, but he was secretly happy in his heart.
"Brother, I'm worried about you. I'm fine." Xiao Chenyan replied politely. Although they were already at odds with each other, they still had to act the way they should in front of Emperor Yong'an.
Xiao Chenyan looked around the study room, but did not see Bei Xiuyan. He asked doubtfully: "Why didn't the regent come?"
Qin Ming stepped forward to report: "Today, after Ms. Shen completed her diagnosis for the Prince Regent, she left in a carriage. Later, the Prince Regent was about to enter the palace to report on the investigation of the case, but on the way to the palace, he noticed something was wrong with Miss Shen's carriage and chased him. After we got there, we discovered that an assassin wanted to kill Miss Shen. In order to save Miss Shen, the regent accidentally fell off a cliff during the fight."
After hearing the whole story, Xiao Chenyan speculated in his heart that since Shen Ruzhou was a woman and she was not involved in the struggle for power in the court, no one would want to kill her.He must be Beixiu Yan's enemy. If Shen Ruzhou had not gone to treat Beixiu Yan, he would not have suffered such a disaster.
It’s all the fault of Beixiu Banquet.
Xiao Chenyan begged Emperor Yong'an to send someone to track down the whereabouts of Beixiu Yan and Shen Ruzhou. Emperor Yong'an nodded in agreement, "I have sent the royal guards to look for you. Your body has not recovered yet. After you find out the murderer, go back to the side hall to rest and don't interfere." It’s about rescuing people.”
After arrangements were made for rescuing people, everyone got down to business.
Qin Ming took out the evidence and reported everything he found out. "Your Majesty, the regent has verified that the wine glass used by King Wu Cheng was poisonous and was smeared on the rim by the dead man in advance. The dead man committed suicide in fear of his crime, but it can be seen from the tattoos on his body that this man came from the southwest and was related to The poison comes from the same source, and the courtyard where he lives is recorded in Shangguan Yu's name. Shangguan Yu has always been a guest of King Yu, so the person who poisoned King Wu Cheng in an attempt to kill King Wu is King Yu."
Faced with the accusation, King Yu sneered and said, "What nonsense? Just based on these rumors, you can accuse me of poisoning? That dead man was a fellow villager of Shangguan Yu, and he was just staying temporarily. How come he was sent by Shangguan Yu?" Besides, I appreciate Shangguan Yu's talent and often invite him to his house to play chess and talk poetry. If this becomes evidence, then Shangguan Yu has also been to Liu Taifu's house and has a very good relationship with the Fifth Emperor's brother. Then Can we also say that they want to poison King Wu Cheng?"
King Yu had already prepared his words and refuted them one by one.
Emperor Yong'an looked solemn, but his turbid eyes were full of light. He did not rush to express his attitude. Instead, he looked at Xiao Chenyan, "What does King Wu Cheng have to say about this matter?"
Xiao Chenyan glanced at King Yu sideways and replied respectfully: "Father, after my son was poisoned, he also sent people to investigate and found some evidence."
Seeing Xiao Chenyan presenting the evidence, King Yu felt inexplicably flustered.He didn't expect that Xiao Chenyan would still have the energy to investigate after being poisoned, so he had only sent people to keep an eye on Beixiu Yan.
Seeing that King Yu was guilty, Xiao Chenyan raised his lips and smiled, pointing to the evidence on the table and saying: "These letters are enough to prove that the dead man was secretly trained by Shangguan Yu, and everything he did was obeyed by Shangguan Yu. The imperial doctor also confirmed that I was pregnant. The poison was brought back by Shangguan Yu when he traveled in the southwest last year, and it is still preserved in his home. So the person who poisoned it is Shangguan Yu."
After hearing this, King Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the so-called evidence pointed to Shangguan Yu. It seemed that Xiao Chenyan didn't have much ability. After searching and searching, he just found the scapegoat he had prepared.
Idiot, such a person is not worthy of competing with him for the throne after all.
Although the disdain flashed across Prince Yu's eyes, Xiao Chenyan still caught it.In fact, he had already obtained the death certificate of King Yu who mutilated his siblings, but he did not intend to take it out now. He needed to find a more suitable opportunity, an opportunity that could completely defeat King Yu, and then he would be able to bring him all these years. Bring out all the evidence collected to completely defeat King Yu, leaving him with no possibility of turning over.
The murderer was eventually identified as Shangguan Yu.King Yu happily returned to his house and told Mu Wanqing everything about the Shang Shufang. His face was full of pride, "Xiao Chenyan is nothing more than that. I really looked up to him in the past."
Seeing that King Yu was in a good mood, Mu Wanqing smiled and agreed, "The prince is resourceful and resourceful, and King Wucheng cannot compare to him."
She stretched out her slender wrist to pour the wine for Prince Yu herself. Prince Yu leaned lazily on the couch without stretching his hand, just waiting for Mu Wanqing to feed him.
Mu Wanqing twisted her waist and sat next to King Yu, serving King Yu's banquet tenderly. After a few drinks, King Yu's face turned red and his eyes gradually became blurred.
Mu Wanqing took the opportunity to encourage, "Since King Wu Cheng is no match for the prince, why not give him the antidote."
"Oh?" King Yu didn't know why, so he put his arm around Mu Wanqing's waist and pulled her into his arms, wanting to know the reason.
Mu Wanqing docilely leaned on King Yu's chest, her voice was sweet and sultry, "The poison is so powerful, even if King Wu Cheng is given the antidote, his body will definitely not be as good as before, and his sickly body will never be able to survive in the future." Secondly, the prince can say that he found the antidote in Shangguan Yu and specially presented it to King Wu Cheng. He can also win the favor of the emperor and lift the ban early, so why not do it."
What Mu Wanqing said was reasonable and well-founded, and it suited King Yu's wishes. "It makes sense. Go into the palace and deliver the antidote to Xiao Chenyan."
King Yu couldn't help but feel proud when he thought that Xiao Chenyan had to be grateful to him as the murderer after taking the antidote.
In the side hall, Concubine De looked at Mu Wanqing and thanked her for the antidote.
Xiao Chenyan was also very grateful and thanked Mu Wanqing. After taking the antidote, he immediately felt much better and his body was not as weak as before.
After calling Jun Wu to prepare his horse, Xiao Chenyan put on his outer robe and was about to go out to look for Shen Ruzhou. Concubine De anxiously intercepted her, but Xiao Chenyan didn't even reach the door of the side hall, he bent over in severe pain and his body was unstable. Then it started shaking.
Xiao Chenyan's face turned pale, he broke into a cold sweat, and black beads of blood gushed out from the corners of his mouth. The scene in front of him began to become blurry, and then suddenly blackened, and he fell unconscious.
