Conan's physique? The Crown Princess is involved in a murder case again
Chapter 252 Poison Scheme
Xu Xingyin was so worried about this that he couldn't eat or sleep. In fact, there were many people who were worried about the same thing as Xu Xingyin.
In a wing room somewhere in the imperial city.
The man was hidden in a large black cloak, his face completely covered in shadows, revealing only a pair of gloomy and cunning eyes.
He looked at the thin piece of paper on the table. The contents on the paper made him frown, and his fingers tapped on the table unconsciously.
"Jing Zhichen's move of retreating in order to advance not only completely cleared the couple from the guilt of that idiot Xu Xiuzhu, but also won over a group of court officials. This is really abominable!"
Another sharp voice soothed him softly, "Don't panic. Jing Zhichen is only proud for a moment. Your Majesty is still upset about the last incident. He is just suffering from a lack of weaknesses to find. If he had, how could Jing Zhichen keep his position as the crown prince?"
The cloaked man took a deep breath, crumpled the note into a ball, and threw it hard to the ground, with a sinister light flashing in his eyes.
"You still want to count on the man on the throne? You are dreaming! No matter how angry or annoyed he is, Jing Zhichen is still the most important son in his heart! Unless Jing Zhichen dies, no one can surpass him!"
The other voice was silent, with a hint of melancholy in its tone.
"That being said, it is not easy to take Jing Zhichen's life. He is the crown prince. He is surrounded by many guards and the Black Tiger Cavalry left by the previous emperor. He is also supported by many ministers headed by the Grand Tutor. It is not easy to act quietly."
The cloaked man snorted coldly and gritted his teeth.
"How difficult is this? Not only do I want Jing Zhichen to die, I also want him to die in disgrace!"
Another voice was startled and asked hurriedly.
"How to do it?"
The cloaked man reached into his sleeve and pulled out a small medicine bottle, then gently placed it on the table.
"Don't people in the world praise Jing Zhichen as a gentleman like jade? I want to drag him into the hell of hell. I want to let the world see that a gentleman like him can also take human lives lightly and ignore the safety of the people for his own selfish interests. In this way, I want to see if a man like him can still make the civil and military officials follow him willingly and make the people love him."
"this?"
"For so many years, Jing Zhichen's poison has not been cured, but he has survived thanks to Du Huaigu's medical skills. If this continues, the poison may be cured by Du Huaigu. In this case, we might as well go all out and give him the drink again this time."
After hearing this, the other person did not refute but nodded in agreement.
"What you said does make some sense. After all, this poison has not been there overnight. Even if it suddenly gets worse, I don't think anyone will notice anything. When Jing Zhichen goes crazy in front of everyone, people who don't know the truth will see the hypocritical face of this crown prince. Even those who know the truth will just think it's a relapse of an old illness, so we can get away with it."
The cloaked man nodded. "That's right. Moreover, this new poison is so powerful and the old poison is recurring. Adding the two together, even if Du Huaigu's medical skills are superb, Jing Zhichen can only wait for death."
The other man laughed triumphantly, then patted the cloaked man on the shoulder and said.
"Don't worry, I will definitely take care of this for you."
……
The Ceremony of Silkworm Breeding is an important ceremony of the imperial court. Every spring, the emperor personally leads the dukes, ministers, princes and officials to perform the Ceremony of Silkworm Breeding to show his importance to agriculture and encourage the cultivation of mulberry trees.
On this day, the sky was clear and the wind was gentle.
At daybreak, the imperial city was already bustling with traffic. Civil and military officials, all in court robes, rushed to the Silkworm Temple with their families.
Jing Zhichen, dressed in the black court robes of the crown prince, stood at the head of all the officials, with an upright posture and an imposing aura.
Not far from the officials' camp were the female relatives headed by Empress Lu and the Crown Princess. Jing Zhichen looked over occasionally, and his eyes met with Xu Xingyin's tacitly in the air, then they looked away.
Then a faint smile appeared on that handsome face, and he looked like a gentleman, gentle and dignified.
The crown prince is so outstanding that all the officials praise him highly.
"The case that His Royal Highness handled a few days ago was truly brilliant and breathtaking!"
"Yes, His Royal Highness is so virtuous, it is a blessing for our dynasty!"
Above the Temple of Heaven, Emperor Yanning sat majestically on the dragon throne, listening to the discussions of his ministers. His eyes swept across Jing Zhichen's expression obscurely, then silently retracted their gaze.
Jing Zhichen followed the etiquette, bowed to Emperor Yanning from a distance, and then sat down on the side.
What followed was the normal process of the Silkworm Ceremony. Jing Zhichen, as usual, first worshipped the Silkworm God with Emperor Yanning, and then picked mulberry leaves and fed the silkworms with the female relatives.
After completing a lengthy process, I didn't realize it was already noon.
According to the rules of previous years, the next ceremony will be presided over by Empress Xiao Lu, and everyone will feed the silkworms with the mulberry leaves they picked by hand as a way of praying.
However, the process of feeding the silkworms had just begun when an unexpected event occurred.
Jing Zhichen, who was originally sitting on one side, suddenly shook, and then fell straight forward.
"His Royal Highness!"
With a cry of surprise, the nearest Minister of Rites reached out to help.
At this time, Jing Zhichen seemed to have completely lost his mind. He roared like a beast and raised his hand to push the Minister of Rites who wanted to support him to the ground.
Emperor Yanning was also shocked by this sudden change and stood up, shouting "Prince".
Then he waved his hand again, "Quick, stop His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
As soon as Emperor Yanning finished speaking, several palace guards rushed forward and tried to subdue Jing Zhichen.
However, Jing Zhichen had completely lost his mind, his eyes were red, and the power bursting out of his body made it difficult for several guards to resist, and the scene was once in chaos.
For a moment, the originally solemn and dignified Temple of Heaven became a mess.
Although the palace guards were very skilled, they were powerless when facing the irrational Jing Zhichen.
After all, the person in front of them is the crown prince of the current dynasty and cannot be hurt.
It was precisely because of the guards' fear that Jing Zhichen successfully broke through the encirclement. He suddenly let out a shrill roar and rushed towards the altar like an arrow.
"Oh no! The prince is going to destroy the altar!"
Someone in the crowd exclaimed.
The altar is an important place in the country. If it is destroyed, it would be a great disrespect.
Moreover, it happened in full view of everyone!
However, Jing Zhichen had completely lost his mind at this time. He didn't care at all and just rushed towards the altar.
Just as he was about to crash into the altar, at this moment, a figure suddenly flew out from the crowd and hugged Jing Zhichen.
"Your Highness! Wake up!"
Xu Xingyin rushed forward regardless of everything and hugged Jing Zhichen tightly.
