The system forced me to be emperor

But then, there will be no time to watch the play, because the position of the left servant of the Ministry of punishment will be vacant.

Therefore, various forces began to speak out and compete for this fragrant bun.

Faced with all this, Xiao Rui stayed out of the matter, as if he had nothing to do with him. He was about to leave the capital, and even the princes relaxed their attention to him.

There are only ten days left before the Chunwei Examination, and what follows is the highlight.

There should be some minor problems with the empress's body.

.......

On this day, Xiao Yiheng went to pay respects to the queen, and suddenly found that the queen Zhou Xiangyun's face was pale, her breathing was not smooth, she was dizzy, nauseous and retching.If it wasn't for his pale face, Xiao Yiheng would have thought that his father was powerful and his mother was happy, and he was giving him a competitor.

"Mother, how do you feel? Have you seen the imperial physician?" Xiao Yiheng asked with concern.

Zhou Xiangyun said weakly: "I looked for it, after the imperial doctor gave the pulse, it was said that the stomach fire was too full, which affected the appetite. These days, I have lost my appetite, I have no appetite, and I don't have a good rest, so my energy is also very weak."

Zhou Xiangyun lay lazily on the soft bed, pointed to the seat next to him and said, "You suddenly fell into a coma these few days, but I was so anxious for my mother. Now that you finally woke up, your uncle suddenly resigned, why is that? ah?"

Xiao Yiheng's face was embarrassing, and he said: "Mother, my father has banned this matter, so you better stop asking."

"Your Majesty!" Zhou Xiangyun immediately shut up, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, she deeply knew the taboo, so she thought it was her second brother who offended His Majesty, so she didn't dare to ask more questions.

Seeing Zhou Xiangyun's tired expression, Xiao Yiheng didn't bother him much, and left the palace after paying his respects.

Xiao Rui returned to the mansion and called Guo Jia and Jia Xu.

"Mr. Wenhe, Feng Xiao, I entered the palace to pay my respects these two days, and asked Yan Xiaoxiao to help me investigate the queen's condition. The toxins accumulated in her body have begun to take effect, and according to the time calculation, it is time to act tonight It is." Xiao Rui laughed.

Guo Jia nodded, and said: "That's right, the residual poison of the elixir is not a poison, and the toxins accumulated in the body after long-term use can't be diagnosed by the imperial physician, but this time, in order to make the queen sick in advance, we have added a small amount of toxin to the elixir. Poisons, although they are all strange poisons, but for fear of long nights and dreams, it is time to implement the plan."

"That's exactly what I mean too." Jia Xu said with a smile, brushing his beard.

Xiao Rui immediately made a final decision, and said: "Okay! Then let Li Yuanfang, Wu Zhanfa and Wei Guang act according to the plan today. Wu Zhanfa and Wei Guang rescued Ge Hong. Then they set fire to the alchemy room of Prince Ke's mansion to create the illusion of a fire. , to create time so that King Ke could not detect the truth of Ge Hong's disappearance. And Li Yuanfang will visit the Chu Palace tonight and send a secret letter to Chu King."

Speaking of this, Xiao Rui couldn't help but said: "Mr. Wenhe, Fengxiao, you see, we have really broken our hearts. We sent information to Xiao Lie to deal with King Chu, and now we are sending secret letters to King Chu to deal with King Ke." .”

"Haha... His Highness is laughing at himself." Guo Jia laughed.

Jia Xu sighed: "The dispute between the princes is an intrigue. In the past, they planned to deal with His Highness. They wished to drive His Highness out as soon as possible. Now it's time for them to taste the pain of being schemed by others."

"I never hold grudges, because revenge will be over soon." Xiao Rui narrowed his eyes, this time, King Ke, please get out!

at night.

Follow the plan.

Wu Zhanfa and Wei Guang went to King Ke's mansion with ease, assassinated the guards, rescued Ge Hong, and set fire to the alchemy room of King Ke's mansion with the oil they carried.The fire lit up the south of the city, and after the servants of King Ke's Mansion extinguished the fire, more than a dozen alchemy rooms were reduced to ruins.

King Ke was also awakened, and roared furiously: "It's so good, why is there a fire!"

The steward knelt down tremblingly, and said: "Your Highness, it should be dry in winter, and there are flammable things in the alchemy room. It must be that the flames of the alchemy furnace burst out, causing a big fire, and then touching flammable objects, exacerbated the fire. The flames condensed into this fire."

"Are there any casualties?" Ke Wang Xiaoming took a deep breath and asked.

The steward said: "It was late at night, and the alchemists went to rest, but... the alchemist who was guarded alone seemed to be burned to death, and two guards were burned to death at the same time, probably trying to save the alchemist, so They were also trapped in the fire and did not wait to come out."

"He's dead?" Xiao Ming frowned. This person is of great use, and he needs to keep him to refine the elixir. Hearing from his mother and concubine, the queen suddenly became ill. He expected the time to be much earlier, but Xiao Ming didn't think too much about it, he really thought it was because the queen was weak, so she had an attack early.

"It's good to be dead." Xiao Ming said casually, since he will soon be no longer needed, it just so happens that he doesn't need to kill someone to silence him.

"Extinguish the flames, I'll be cleaning the ruins tomorrow, don't disturb the king's rest." After Xiao Ming scolded, he went back and fell asleep with his concubine in his arms.

At the same time, the Chu Palace.

Li Yuanfang sneaked into Chu Palace quietly. In the evening, Xiao Rui secretly contacted Li Xiu'er and knew the house where Xiao Yiheng might rest tonight, so he found Xiao Yiheng without any effort.

However, the outside of the house was closely guarded by guards and imperial troops, and Li Yuanfang couldn't get close at all. Fortunately, he was only here to deliver a secret letter.

He took out the two stone bows on his back and drew the bow like a full moon. The secret letter was tied to the arrow, and then shot out with a whoosh sound. The arrow feathers were directly drawn into the room and nailed to the calligraphy and painting on the wall in the hall.

Afterwards, Li Yuanfang turned around and left. The guards and imperial guards searched everywhere, but naturally they couldn't find anyone.

Xiao Yiheng got up, opened the door to inquire one or two, and learned that the assassin was missing, his anger came up again.What kind of place has become of his palace, where assassins can come and leave whenever they want?

At this time, his attention was on the arrow feathers on the wall, and he ordered someone to pull out the arrow feathers, and got the letter.

After opening the letter, when he saw the contents of the letter, Xiao Yiheng's face suddenly turned grim, and he shouted: "Xiao Ming! You are courting death!"

........

In the morning of the next day, Xiao Rui looked at Xiao Yiheng's face. It seemed that he hadn't had a good rest. Although his face was expressionless, his eyes were red, and he looked full of anger and resentment.

When his eyes glanced at Xiao Ming, he must have been on fire in his heart.

Xiao Rui smiled secretly in his heart, he was not in a hurry, and continued to watch the show.

After the morning court, Xiao Yiheng hurriedly went to pay his respects to the queen. As for what he had verified and how to do it, he was smarter than Xiao Lie, so he didn't need to teach, just a reminder, and he would naturally understand.

Xiao Rui has been sending people to keep an eye on the palace, why did he choose to rescue Ge Hong last night, because according to the speed at which King Ke sent pills into the palace, he sent them every five days, and yesterday happened to be the fourth day, and today is the fifth day .

Although Ge Hong was "burned to death" last night, he had given the pill to Xiao Ming during the day yesterday, so Xiao Ming will go to his mother and concubine today to pay his respects.

Just as Xiao Rui and the others calculated, after the morning court, Xiao Ming really went to pay his respects.

After noon, the female officer next to the queen left Changchun Palace, walked carefully through the harem, came to a remote corner, and met Concubine Yun's confidant female officer.

Concubine Yun's confidant female officer took out several bottles of pills from her sleeve and handed them to the queen's personal female officer. The two seemed to be familiar with the road, neither said a word, after taking the things, they made eye contact, and then prepared to leave separately.

Unexpectedly, when they walked out of the corner, they suddenly found that Eunuch Lu of the Inner Court Department was waiting outside with the imperial guards. The two women were so frightened that they trembled all over and could not speak a word.

Eunuch Lu stepped forward, patted the face of the female officer next to the queen, and snatched the elixir from her sleeve.Afterwards, he poured out the elixir from the bottle and smelled it, and sure enough, he found that the smell of the elixir was somewhat different from that of the tribute elixir.

"Very good, very good! You really have a big guts!"

With a wave of his hand, Eunuch Lu, the forbidden army subdued the two girls like hungry wolves.

"Eunuch, please forgive me, please forgive me..."

...

Eunuch Lu came to Changchun Palace and begged to see Queen Zhou Xiangyun, but Xiao Yiheng didn't even leave!

"Empress, those two female officials have summoned everything. It is indeed Concubine Yun's instigation. The servant has already asked the imperial doctor to test the elixir from Changchun Palace and the elixirs found from the two of them. There are many erysipelas, which will damage the body for a long time. , and... and there is a strange poison mixed in it. It is the reason why the empress's body weakens rapidly!" Eunuch Lu knelt on the ground and said respectfully.

Zhou Xiangyun was so angry that he coughed violently, his phoenix eyes widened, and he said angrily: "Cough cough cough... Concubine Yun, you have such a vicious heart, such a vicious heart!"

Xiao Yiheng hurriedly went to support the queen, and said anxiously: "Mother, please bear with me, this matter must not be lightly spared by Concubine Yun! Fortunately, we found out in time that your body still has room for treatment. If the poison breaks out, it may be difficult to treat. .”
