Strange love across time and space

Su Qing immediately sat up straight

"Then what should we do? Go and tell the emperor directly? I just don't know if the emperor will believe what I say."

Phantom shook his head,

"This kind of poison cannot be discovered by humans. Even if the emperor believed you and asked the Imperial Hospital to test the elixir, nothing would be found."

"Then...Phantom, do you have any other plans?"

"Yeah! I can follow this elixir to find Maozhu and stop him from helping the Taoist priest refine the elixir."

"Will there be any danger?"

"I know Maozhu's spiritual power, and he can't beat me. However, I'm not sure whether the Taoist priest will use evil magic to bless Maozhu. If so, I'm not sure. But , I can go take a look first."

Su Qing held Phantom's hand worriedly

"If you feel there is danger, don't show off, remember?"

Phantom smiled fondly, held Su Qing in her arms, and nodded.

"Our Qingqing loves me the most. I will remember it. Don't worry."

In the court hall, Prince Zhao Linye sat on a dragon chair made of red gold. He looked at the civil and military officials below and felt very proud. No wonder they all want to be emperor. It turns out that this feeling of overlooking everything is so good!

The ministers reported to the prince one after another on the matters under their jurisdiction. The prince also had two skills, and all gave plans based on their own experience and insights.

King Jin stood in front, staring at the prince's every move, not knowing what he was thinking. After all the ministers had finished reporting, King Rui Zhao Lin'an stood up and looked at the prince sitting on the dragon chair with a sneer.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so majestic. I wonder if this power was given to you by your father? Or by your mother? Or,..., you are using the emperor to command the princes?"

As soon as these words came out, all the civil and military officials looked at each other and started talking about it. The prince stood up from the dragon chair and shouted harshly

"Prince Rui! What do you mean by what you just said? If you don't explain clearly, I can punish you with a false accusation!"

"Hmph! Framed? Does the prince really think that everyone is a fool? Why did the father fall ill? Many people in the imperial study have seen it! Prince, don't say it has nothing to do with you! You just made the father angry When he vomits blood, he takes over his father's place in handling government affairs. What a coincidence! So I suspect that the prince tampered with his father's diet, which caused his father to vomit blood so easily. The purpose was to prevent him from vomiting blood while he was ill. Take control of the government, and if anything happens to your father, you can successfully succeed to the throne!"

"Zhao Lin'an! You are slanderous! You said that I poisoned my father? Do you have any evidence? If not, then I can have you arrested now!"

"If there was no evidence, would the king say these things in the court?" After speaking, King Rui clapped his hands, and two guards and a man dressed as a Taoist priest appeared at the door. When the prince saw the Taoist priest's appearance, his heart immediately clenched and he clenched his hands unconsciously. Isn't this Taoist Yishin? Why did he enter the palace? Moreover, he seems to know King Rui? The prince suddenly had a bad premonition, so he winked at the crony beside him, who immediately slipped out. All this was seen by King Jin, who had been staring at the prince. King Jin also immediately walked toward the door. Qianfeng glanced at him. Qianfeng understood and immediately disappeared.

Taoist priest Yixin walked to King Rui and saluted the prince.

"Pindao Yixin has met His Highness the Crown Prince."

Tai Zixu helped him and asked

"Taoist Master Yixin? Why are you here in the palace?"

Without waiting for Taoist priest Yixin to reply, King Rui spoke.

"It seems that the prince and Taoist priest Yixin know each other. I heard that the elixir my father took recently was refined by the prince and queen through Taoist priest Yixin. Is this true?"

Taoist priest Yi Xin nodded.

"Exactly, some time ago, His Highness the Prince sent someone to find Pindao. He said that the Emperor's dragon body was easily tired due to his busy schedule of state affairs. He wanted Pindao to refine a pill that could make people energetic. Pindao was moved by the Prince's filial piety. , and agreed."

When the prince saw that Taoist Yixin was not talking nonsense, he felt a little at ease and nodded with a smile.

"Ever since my father took Taoist Priest Yishin's elixir, his body has become much better than before. I haven't thanked Taoist Priest in person yet, but Taoist Priest just came into the palace. After the morning court, I and my mother will be happy to entertain Taoist Priest. , Taoist Master, please don’t refuse.”

King Rui snorted coldly.

"Prince, please don't be too happy. Since my father is getting better, why does he vomit blood so easily because of your opposition? I suspect that the prince and queen tampered with the elixir!"

The prince narrowed his eyes and suppressed the anger in his heart.

"Prince Rui, that elixir was refined by Taoist Priest Yixin himself. How could I and the queen mother tamper with it?"

"That's not necessarily the case. The prince has many capable people. Maybe he can poison him without letting anyone find out! It's easy to find out if there is anything wrong with the elixir. All you need to do is bring the elixir that my father usually takes. Taoist Master Yixin will know after checking it!"

The prince looked at Taoist Yixin and saw that his expression was expressionless. He thought to himself that since he refined the elixir, he couldn't say that his elixir was poisonous. So he nodded,

"That's what King Yi Rui said. It's just that Eunuch Xi, who usually serves my father the most, is not in the hall now."

The prince turned his head to Eunuch Fu.

"Eunuch Fu is working as an errand under Eunuch Xi. Does he know where my father's elixirs are kept?"

Eunuch Fu hurriedly stepped forward to salute

"Returning to the prince, I have seen Eunuch Xi bring elixirs to the emperor several times, so I know where the elixirs are placed."

"Well, then I'll bother Eunuch Fu and make a trip."

Eunuch Fu left quickly and came back quickly. After a while, he came back holding an exquisite little box. The prince took the box and opened it. Seeing that there was nothing unusual about the elixir, he asked someone to check it with Taoist Yixin. Taoist priest Yixin took the box, took out an elixir, put it to his nose and smelled it, then picked it off a little with his fingernail, put it in his mouth and tasted it, and his face immediately changed.

"Your Royal Highness, Your Highness Prince Rui, there is something wrong with this elixir. The elixir seems normal, but someone has applied a thin layer of arrow bamboo juice on the surface. This juice is extracted from the leaves of a kind of arrow bamboo. It is colorless. The taste is so weak that ordinary doctors can’t detect it at all! Taking this poison for a long time will cause people’s internal organs to fail and die!”

After Taoist Master Yixin finished speaking, the expressions of everyone in the palace changed drastically. They all looked at the prince with complicated eyes. Only then did the prince realize that he had been plotted. He pointed at Taoist Master Yixin and Prince Rui with trembling fingers.

"Third brother! You actually joined forces with this stinky Taoist priest to plot against me!"

"Hmph! Your Highness, don't call me a thief. It's because my concubine has been feeling unwell during this period that I approached Taoist Priest Yixin and asked him to refine some elixirs for my concubine to strengthen her body. I and Taoist Yixin just How can we plot against the prince after we have known him for a few days?"
