The naughty and cowardly little crybaby sold himself out

The emperor did not say anything when the search warrant came from the third prince, but the sixth prince could not stop it, so the guards went forward to search.

Not long after, a small bottle of medicine was found on the Seventh Prince and was immediately handed to Dean He. Dean He took it with a frown and studied it for a while. Wow, it really was the antidote.

Dean He looked up at the emperor, who understood his meaning immediately and raised his hand to tell him to give the medicine to the fifth prince immediately.

"What a good Xiaoqi!" The emperor slapped the table, "Xiaoliu! Tell me, do you know something?!"

The Sixth Prince was dumbfounded and quickly knelt down, "Father, I don't know. I don't know anything! I don't know where this thing on my Seventh Brother came from."

"Where did you come from? Isn't it obvious that they are colluding with Nanbang?!" The third prince shouted, "Xiao Liu, Princess Zhan's whereabouts are still unknown. If you know anything, please confess it!"

"I don't know! My seventh brother has rarely left the house and hasn't seen anyone. I saw him once in Liu's house after the New Year, and then this trip. I don't know what he is doing."

The Sixth Prince really didn't know what the Seventh Prince was doing. The Crown Prince had clearly told them during the New Year not to act rashly, especially to avoid conflicts with Prince Zhan's Palace.

"Prince! You say!" For the first time, the emperor pulled the prince out in front of everyone.

The prince knelt on the ground.

"Father, I don't know. I saw my seventh brother in Liu's house. I wanted to talk to him during this trip, but I couldn't find him. My seventh brother is always quiet and doesn't talk much. My sixth brother and I just take care of him. And we can't conclude that my seventh brother is the murderer of my fifth brother based on just one bottle of antidote. After all, the injuries on my fifth brother were all left by the Nanbang spy."

"Did you know that Chu Jian fell into the water in Liu Mansion on the ninth day of the first lunar month? She was thrown into the water by Xiao Qi!" The emperor was furious.

"How could that be?" The prince looked up in surprise.

"How could that be? I still want to ask you! Hasn't Xiao Qi always been your follower? Do you really have no idea what he did?"

"Father, please calm down! I really don't know..."

“Your Highness! Your Highness…” The Empress, the Imperial Consorts, and the other princesses in the harem also received the news and rushed over. Princess Seven cried loudly in the yard, “Your Highness, you were fine this morning, how did you become like this? What should Xiang’er and I do!”

The Seventh Prince Jingxiang, who was not even one year old, was held by his wet nurse and kneeled beside him. Hearing his mother crying so sadly, he also struggled to crawl over there.

"Mu Hao, Mu Hao!" Concubine Ming and Princess Wu ran into the house crying in panic, "Your Majesty, where is Xiao Wu? How is he?"

The emperor looked towards the inner room with a sullen face. Dean He had already given the fifth prince the antidote, but there was no reaction yet.

"Xiao Wu, Mu Hao! My son, my son..."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law stumbled to the bed in a panic, looking at the Fifth Prince who was bandaged in several places. They didn't even dare to touch him.

"Headmaster He, how is my prince doing?"

"Empress Ming, Princess Five, the Fifth Prince has just taken the antidote and will wake up soon."

After hearing what Dean He said, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law felt a little relieved. They sat by the bed and waited, wiping away tears from time to time.

The Seventh Princess outside fainted from crying, but no one dared to help her. The nurse shook her and called her to beg the emperor, while Jingxiang burst into tears.

The emperor had a headache and was very angry, but Xiao Qi was also his son, so he was also very sad. The emperor waved his hand to signal Eunuch Liu to have someone take the mother and son away first. The matter was not yet clear, so why did Xiao Qi do this?

"Xiao Si, I leave this matter to you. Lead the Ministry of Justice to investigate this matter with all our strength!"

The emperor put his hands behind his back and prepared to leave the room, but when he saw Concubine Yun sitting at the table, shaking all over but watching everything with red eyes without saying a word, he turned back and sat down.

"Xiao Ba, take some people to help Xiao Jiu find Chu Jian. If he's alive, we have to find him. If he's dead, we have to find his body!"

"Yes!"

The Crown Prince and the Sixth Prince stood up and stepped aside. The Fourth Prince went to the yard to re-examine the bodies on the ground, while the Eighth Prince led his men down the mountain.

*

Dean He said it wouldn't take long, but after waiting for nearly an hour, the Fifth Prince still hadn't woken up. The Fourth Prince even went to the back mountain to the scene and came back.

"Father, according to the investigation conducted by Lord Li and I, from the scene and the knife marks, we have concluded that my seventh brother and his guards were killed by the Nanbang people. The Nanbang people were also seriously injured. Later, they encountered the fifth prince, and the two fought, resulting in one death and one injury."

"You mean Xiaowu was poisoned by the Nanbang people? How do you explain that Xiaoqi happened to have the antidote?"

"Father, I suspect that my seventh brother is in collusion with Nanbang. The people of Nanbang are good at using poison. The poison that was thrown to my seventh brother last time was probably made by the people of Nanbang. So it makes sense that my seventh brother has the antidote."

"It doesn't make sense! If they were colluding, why would they be fighting each other with swords?"

"This is something I haven't figured out yet, but the wounds and poison on my fifth brother were indeed inflicted by the Nanbang people. From the distance between him and my fifth brother, and the traces of poison powder and blood on the ground, it can be seen that it was the Nanbang people's last struggle before they died."

"Father! My seventh brother will never collude with the people of Nanbang." The Sixth Prince tried to defend the Seventh Prince, but was glared at by the Emperor again.

"Xiao Liu! Do you know something?!"

The Sixth Prince knelt on the ground again with tears in his eyes.

"I don't know. It's just that after the autumn hunt, my seventh brother told me that those people might be coming for my ninth brother. He said he wanted to check it out, and he has been sending people to keep an eye on Prince Zhan's mansion since then. But he never told me anything except that he was suspicious at first sight. Every time I asked him, he always said that the matter was too big and he didn't want me to get involved."

"How does he know it's aimed at Xiaojiu?"

"Xiao Jiu led the army to attack Nanbang and killed their general. Whether they wanted to avenge the general or attack Lingyin, their first target must be Xiao Jiu. Xiao Qi also suspected that the Nanbang people were the ones who poisoned Xiao Jiu. He was originally investigating Nanbang's spies, so how could he be in the same group with them?"

The emperor squinted his eyes and looked at him. He had asked him questions before, but he hadn't opened his mouth yet. Now he was pouring out the truth.

"What else do you know? You'd better tell me all at once!"

“When the plague broke out last year, Chu Jian was the first to discover and control it. Xiao Qi thought it was such a coincidence.

And as far as we know, the identity of the miracle doctor in the Zhan Prince's Mansion is suspicious. We have never seen anyone except the Zhan Prince's Mansion, and she has long left the capital. The time she was taught was not long at all. How did she learn so quickly and so well? !

On the tenth day, Xiao Qi told me that Chu Jian might have had contact with Nan Bang, otherwise how could she carry the Tianshui Poison with her! He said he must find out the truth. "

Although the emperor also doubted Chu Jian's identity, he still knew the origin of the Tianshui poison in her body. It was prepared by Dean He in order to verify whether there was any Tianshui poison left in the golden cup of the East Palace. She showed great interest at that time and learned it.

However, the reason Xiaoliu gave is also valid. Chu Jian knows more than just the Tianshui poison. She also knows Wuxingsan, Tianxiang, Goushen, Fenghouxue... There are so many kinds that the emperor alone knows.

At that time I just thought she was playful, but now I think Xiaoliu was right. The miracle doctor was not around, so where did she get so much time to learn medicine and poisons from, and how did she learn them so well?

unless……

Unless she knew it before!
