Help! I just woke up and was stabbed by a big kid

The chief supervisor said, "There is also a letter submitted by Gu Xu from the Duke of Dunxin's mansion. He was supposed to present it to His Majesty when he returned to the capital, but he was delayed and has been kept in the Hidden Dragon Guard Hall."

The chief inspector presented the letter.

The emperor seemed to be uninterested: "I just asked him to do it for show. I already know enough evidence of King Yin's rebellion."

But he still picked up the letter and read it. As he read, the emperor frowned, his eyes passed over the letter and locked on the chief eunuch: "Is there something called black gold paste in the capital that has suddenly spread in the market?"

The chief eunuch was stunned: "It seems that this thing really exists, but it is just a recipe made by a barefoot doctor. I just listened to it casually..."

"Does the pharmacy have this stuff in its warehouse?" the emperor asked. "Check carefully and find out who is selling this inhumane stuff."

"In that letter..." The supervisor realized something.

"Gu Xu is really capable. I underestimated him." The emperor leaned back. "He was investigating the matter of King Yin in Jiangnan Road. In addition to the rumors, he also found this black gold paste. This thing is made of that poisonous grass."

The chief supervisor was horrified: "Then, Your Majesty, could this matter be related to... Lord Su?"

"Almost right." The emperor narrowed his eyes.

Sarhan, who is behind Jiaoyuan, has a close relationship with Wen Qing. It is also confirmed that Wen Qing is employed by Mu You to stir up trouble among several princes.

Mu You was related to the pharmacy, and this time, the two envoys from Xihu provided important information, saying that someone from Xihu secretly sold this medicine to a Beiqin clinic, and the boss behind this clinic was actually the imperial physician Zhou Xinglin.

The emperor just felt a chill.

Could it be that the Mu You incident was actually a trick played by Su Muying?

It was impossible for his Su family to control the prosperous Mu family, and the fifth prince was the best candidate to seize the throne. He manipulated it behind the scenes, not only making the fifth prince lose the qualification to aspire for the throne, but also implicated Qin Zhaoning.

As a result, the court valued civil officials over military officials, and someone was needed to take over the military power under Mu You, leaving a large number of positions vacant.

Are those people reliable?

The emperor picked up his pen and continued to draft his decree.

The Jingjiwei army, which is closest to the capital, was mobilized to protect the imperial city. At the same time, several armies originally under Mu You's command were investigated to find out whether they had any connection with the Su family.

Su Muying...

"Send the most elite troops of the Hidden Dragon Guard to keep a close watch on Su Muying," the emperor said. "Remember, don't alert the enemy."

The chief supervisor said, “Yes!”

The emperor took out the secret seal, stamped it on the paper, and then handed it to Chen Shuo beside him, asking him to quickly deliver the secret decree to Xiao Jingzhi.

He opened the box beside the table, and inside was an imperial edict that had been framed and decorated with golden satin.

The emperor picked up his pen and wanted to add the word "Yue" after the two words "Qin Zhao" at the beginning of the text, but he paused and put the pen down again.

The sound of drums and music could be faintly heard outside, but the fireworks in the city celebrating the prince's wedding had stopped.

The emperor put away the imperial edict and walked to the door of the imperial study.

In the direction of the East Palace, one could vaguely see red silk and candlelight, and the sound of drums and music came from there. It should have been a night of great joy, but the emperor felt a tightness in his chest for no reason, and an indescribable feeling enveloped his heart.

There is no moon tonight, only a thick layer of dark clouds.

……

The wedding banquet finally ended.

Qin Zhaoyue drank a little too much, and his nerves, which had been tense for many days, finally relaxed a little. Although the emperor's awakening was not good news, fortunately he had predicted this and did not rush to remove the emperor's spies before the matter was clear.

Therefore, he is still the filial and humble prince.

It is not so easy for a king to die.

Qin Zhaoyue was drunk, but his steps were still steady. At least he didn't look like a drunk.

He couldn't help but think of Jing Sang who was still waiting for him in the room.

She was very beautiful, very dignified, and had the demeanor of a future queen. She was also of noble birth, and was not comparable to a girl from a small family like Wu Yue.

But there was no emotion in her eyes, only indifference when she looked at him, just like the way his mother looked at his father.

Not as good as my moon.

Qin Zhaoyue thought that when he ascended the throne, he would change Wu Yue's name, grant her a grace, and make her a concubine. He would also arrange a marriage for Wu Ye and give her a promotion, so as to give some explanation for their efforts.

My Leaf...

Qin Zhaoyue frowned slightly. At the banquet for the delegation to Beijing, he seemed a little flustered and did not perform well. But his discovery provided him with important information - the poison that the emperor was poisoned by came from Xihu, and that magic medicine was the key to detoxification.

No problem, no problem.

Qin Zhaoyue thought that he would reveal this news to the emperor, and when he finally found out who was behind it, the two would fight each other, and in the end, he would be left with a clean court.

The eunuch Xiao Xuzi supported him carefully. When he saw a smile on Qin Zhaoyue's lips, he couldn't help but smile too.

Entering the palace to be a eunuch is one of the most miserable things in the world, but fortunately, little Xuzi was lucky and was designated as the future prince at an early age because of his cleverness.

He has accompanied the prince all the way until now and has never had any second thoughts about him. The prince also trusts him very much.

When Your Highness ascends the throne, he will be the chief steward of the palace, just like Eunuch Chen Shuo and Eunuch Hu Guang, and the closest person to the Emperor. By then, he will possess money, power, and even beauty!

Much better than those men who still have weapons!

Xiao Xuzi was smiling, not noticing a panicked eunuch rushing out from the side and bumping into his feet.

"Ouch! Be careful when you walk!" Xiao Xuzi said angrily, "What should I do if I bump into His Highness?"

"Eunuch Xu! Something bad has happened. General Xiaolu is suddenly in a bad condition. Your Highness, please go and check on him as soon as possible!" When the eunuch saw that it was the prince, he knelt on the ground and dared not get up again.

"Tianyun?!" Qin Zhaoyue sobered up a little, "Let's go take a look."

"Your Highness, this... don't waste your good time." Little Xuzi said in embarrassment.

"What good time?!" Qin Zhaoyue looked at him coldly, "Tell this person to take the badge and go find the imperial physician!"

As he spoke, he strode towards the villa where Lu Tianyun was.

Xiao Xuzi hurriedly took off the Eastern Palace badge from his waist, stuffed it into the eunuch's hand, and went after the prince himself.

The eunuch knelt on the ground, and waited until the two of them went away, then slowly raised his head.

He looked in the direction the prince left.

……

The East Palace Courtyard.

Qin Zhaoyue felt something was wrong as soon as he stepped into the courtyard.

Lu Tianyun suddenly felt uneasy. Why hadn't the candles been lit in the courtyard yet? The warm courtyard during the day was now completely dark, with only the vague outlines of the houses visible. The red lanterns at the four corners were left with only dark shadows, swaying slightly in the wind.

Qin Zhaoyue is not a fool.

Not right.

How is Lu Tianyun?

Qin Zhaoyue reached for his waist, but it was empty.

Why would he be wearing a sword on his wedding day?
