Bastard's Counterattack [Rebirth]

King Qing's questioning immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"What?" King Rui, who was leading his two nephews, hurriedly turned back, took a closer look, frowned, and turned to ask his followers, "What's the matter with Min Yu's eyes?"

"Don't just play around with your hands and rub your eyes with dirty things?" Ninth Prince Zhao Ze'an guessed.

The prince and prince were present, and all the eunuchs and maids naturally leaned back. When they were asked suddenly, they were shocked. The leading lady hurriedly replied:

"The slaves replied to the words of the three highnesses: the emperor's grandson was listening to an opera in the banquet hall. About two quarters of an hour ago, His Royal Highness distributed a lantern to each of the emperor's grandchildren, and his majesty allowed them to visit the garden to enjoy the lanterns. Come on, don’t dare to hide it.”

As soon as the palace maid finished speaking, Zhao Minyu felt his eyes getting weirder and more itchy. He raised his sleeves to rub them, but he flattened his mouth and couldn't help crying:

"Oops, my eyes are itchy, my eyes!"

"Don't move! The more you rub carefully, the more it will become red and swollen." King Qing's eyes were quick, and he grabbed his nephew tightly. He was concentrating on thinking, and quickly looked at King Rui, both confused and frightened, and counting silently at the same time:

Min Yu, Min Heng, Min Feng... There are six nephews in total, they are the sons of the Second Prince, Fifth Prince and Sixth Prince.

King Qing was full of doubts and thought to himself: the nieces are quiet and delicate, and should be taken care of by their mothers in the banquet hall; among the nephews, apart from the half-year-old baby of the second brother's family, only the eldest brother's legitimate son is missing.

Seriously, the only thing missing is Min Kun, the elder brother's legitimate son.

In a blink of an eye, King Qing glanced at Song Shen, who was on the outskirts of the circle of people by instinct!Then, examine the six delicate and delicate lanterns that are shining brightly.

"His Royal Highness King Qing is right, the emperor's grandson cannot rub his eyes." Song Shen agreed.When he was quietly guessing about the lantern, he was suddenly grabbed, his scalp exploded, and instantly went numb, and he yelled secretly: Oops!Should I not be dragged into it?

Zhao Ze'an's interest in admiring the lanterns was gone, he was stunned for a moment, then walked quickly, and checked the rest of his nephews together with his attendants, he was shocked to find that several pairs of eyes were slightly or heavily abnormal, he took a deep breath, and quickly Inform: "Third brother and fourth brother, my nephews have something wrong, their eyes are red and swollen, what should we do?"

The eunuchs and court ladies were panic-stricken, and surrounded their young masters one after another, shouting in fear:

"What do you think?"

"My eyes are sore~"

"My God! What to do?"

"You have to report it to His Highness and the princess right away?"

"Oh, where's mother? Where's father? My eyes are itchy."

……

The situation took a turn for the worse, the joyful laughter disappeared completely, and the child burst into tears, twisting and kicking his legs in the arms of the palace lady.

Suddenly, crying and shouting suddenly broke out in the middle of the imperial garden, and there was a lot of noise.

Watching his nephew's eyes become red and swollen at a frightening speed, the eyeballs were bloodshot, and seemed to be oozing blood, the accident happened suddenly, and in an emergency, King Qing made a decisive decision and severely stopped:

"Hold their hands and keep them out of their eyes!" he ordered again:

"Come here, report to His Majesty immediately, and take away the lanterns of the emperors and grandchildren, and hand them over to the imperial army for strict supervision! Quickly pass on the imperial physician, and move with me to the nearest Xiaying Pavilion."

"Yes!"

"Your servant obeys." The eunuchs and maids were sweating coldly, they couldn't imagine the anger of Emperor Chengtian when he knew about it, and lamented that their lives were in danger.

King Qing hugged his nephew who was struggling and crying, and led the crowd to Xiaying Pavilion, striding forward, passing by Song Shen, he whispered a reminder: "Follow quietly, you can't avoid it."

Song Shen nodded helplessly, followed silently, and thought to himself: Tsk, I'm so happy to visit the garden and enjoy the lanterns, and I've got something to do again!He glanced around habitually, approached King Rui intimately, and comforted in a low voice: "Don't worry, walk slowly."

"You—" King Rui frowned, looked around quietly, and told with concern: "Be quiet, don't talk too much."

Song Shen muttered, "Got it, King Qing told me to shut up, and you told me to shut up too. I'll act dumb tonight."

not long

The Xiaoqiaoxiaying Pavilion, which was used for resting during the garden tour, was crowded with people, and the imperial doctors rushed to it, overwhelmed, and they were diagnosing and treating the sickness while comforting the crying children.

Prince Qing is the eldest and the most respected, and he is duty-bound to direct the overall situation. He ordered loudly: "The nannies of the emperor's grandchildren choose a court lady to assist the imperial doctor, and the rest of the idlers will all go down and wait."

In a blink of an eye, the room became much more spacious.

When the royal grandchildren reported their illnesses, except for a few people left on duty at the Imperial Hospital, the rest were on standby with their medicine boxes on their backs, and had nowhere to intervene. They gathered around the low couch, chattering and anxiously participating in the discussion of their illnesses.

King Qing pondered for a moment, and called out, "Come some free imperial doctors!"

The envoy of the Taiyuan Hospital hurriedly raised his head, and the elderly man ran all the way, with gray hair shining, and asked respectfully, "What is your Highness's order?"

"The clothes, shoes, socks and belongings that the emperor's grandchildren have changed are all stored in the side room of the side hall. The child was injured suddenly, and you have a heavy burden on your shoulders. Why don't you send two people to check in the side room. If you can rule out the same thing, find out as soon as possible. root cause, so as to prescribe the right medicine." King Qing Zhengse ordered.

The court envoy's eyes were fixed, and after thinking about it, he bowed down and said gratefully: "Thank you for your consideration, Your Highness, I will arrange a manpower to investigate immediately!"

King Qing reminded in a low voice: "The injury to the six grandsons is no small matter. You must act quickly, and His Majesty will definitely ask questions later."

He has been treating nobles in the palace for many years, and the envoy of the hospital has rich experience. He looked down and said, "I will obey your Highness's order." After speaking, he personally selected four reliable imperial doctors and urged them to be responsible for checking the clothes of the emperor and grandson. thing.

This is no accident!

It's just that I don't know who has the guts to attack the emperor's grandson.

King Qing was full of doubts, cautious and cautious, and ordered the audience in an orderly manner. After the imperial doctors performed their duties, he walked towards King Rui, who was comforting his nephew, and gave him a look. Cover your heart.

"Fourth brother, are you okay? Don't worry, sit down and take your time, the imperial doctor is trying to find a way." King Qing supported his younger brother, turned sideways, and gave Song Shen another look.

Song Shen was even more keen and quick-witted. He understood and exclaimed: "His Royal Highness Rui, are you unwell? Alas, you ran too fast just now, and you were bumpy and tired. You should rest at this time." As soon as the words fell, The voice of Emperor Chengtian floated into the hall:

"What happened to Chen'er?"

"My son and minister are fine, see father."

Shocked to hear that the emperor's grandson had an accident, Emperor Chengtian rushed over quickly, sweating slightly on his forehead and panting, his left elbow was supported by the eldest son, and his right elbow was in the hands of the second son, he led a mighty group of people.

Upon hearing the news, King Qing and others turned around and saluted as usual:

"My son kowtowed to my father."

"Weichen see Your Majesty."

A group of people kneeled inside and out, Emperor Chengtian didn't look sideways, his face sank like water, he didn't pay attention to the eunuchs and maids outside the palace, he knelt directly as punishment, walked quickly to the threshold and said:

"Stay flat, why kneel at a time like this? No courtesy!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone stood up.

"Father, please take care of the dragon's body. The imperial doctor is treating you." Prince Qing could only be so relieved for the time being.

"Yong'er, what's going on here?" Emperor Chengtian stood firm and scanned the palace: the nanny, the maid and the imperial doctor were holding down the crying and struggling emperor and grandson, and King Qing was supporting the pale-faced King Rui. Guards guarded the entrance and exit.

Messy and frightening.

King Qing pondered for a while, and carefully answered his words: "Return to Father Emperor: My son, my fourth younger brother, and Xiao Jiu were just visiting the garden to enjoy the lanterns. When I ran into nephews playing with jacquard lanterns, I suddenly found that the eyes of a few children were red and swollen, which was very inappropriate, so I went to see them. Immediately report it to you and pass it on to the imperial physician, the specific reason is not clear."

"How many children? Third brother, how many children have the accident? Where is Minheng Minyu?" The second prince asked anxiously.Although he admits that he has unavoidable difficulties, but the poison of a tiger does not eat its young, so the worries he expressed are really coincidental, and there is no need to pretend.

"Second brother, calm down." Prince Qing was impatient, because he didn't know the ins and outs, so he took a sympathetic attitude and comforted him: "The nephews who visited the garden and watched the lanterns all said that their eyes were itchy, and the imperial doctor is trying to treat—"

"Has the imperial doctor figured out a way?" The second prince interrupted hastily, and said with a pale face, "I only have three sons in total, and they entered the palace happily. Why did something happen suddenly?"

King Rui's face was pale, and he persuaded softly: "Second brother, my nephew is not feeling well. The third brother Xiaojiu and I were terrified and rushed to seek medical treatment with the child, but we really don't know the specific reason, and we are also very puzzled."

Oops, this Lantern Festival banquet was organized by the concubine mother alone!The eldest prince was surprised and anxious, his heart sank continuously, he tried his best to calm down, and hurriedly asked: "Doctor, are the emperor's grandchildren alright?"

"This……"

The envoy of the Imperial Hospital braced himself, shook his gray beard, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I will do my best to treat you, but the situation is unclear, and I beg you to avoid it." The implication is:

It is not surprising that one emperor's grandson suddenly suffered from a strange illness, but six emperor's grandchildren fell together, which has to be suspicious.

Could it be...poisoned?

Emperor Chengtian's face was ashen, and he opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything, because what the other party said was reasonable.

King Qing made a decisive decision and persuaded: "Father, leave this place to the imperial doctor. Please move to the side hall and sit down."

"Third brother is right, father's dragon body is so important, it's better to avoid it." King Rui said bluntly.

Ugh!

Emperor Chengtian was full of doubts, his face was expressionless, after a long while, he chose to draw out his left hand, and said in greeting: "Jiu'er, come, let me have a look."

The hand was pushed away by his father, and the eldest prince's back was covered with cold sweat, and he gritted his teeth nervously.

"Father, don't worry, I'm fine." The Ninth Prince listened to the order and approached, and Emperor Chengtian naturally hugged the youngest son, and said coldly: "The safety of the emperor's grandson is left to the imperial physicians, and you must make him recover. I am disappointed!" After finishing speaking, he turned his head and told King Qing: "Yong'er, you arrange someone to watch, and take the time to find out the reason."

After finishing speaking, the emperor turned around, got up and drove to the side hall next door.

By the way?

King Qing lowered his eyes in confusion, and said in a low voice, "Yes."

Song Shen succeeded King Qing, and silently supported King Rui without saying a word.

The second prince seemed anxious, and called his two sons tremblingly: "Min Heng? Min Yu?"

"Daddy? Daddy, my eyes hurt!"

"Father, where's mother? I want to go home~"

His eyes were itchy and he couldn't move. When the injured heard his father arrive, he burst into tears, screaming hoarsely, calling his parents desperately, which made Emperor Chengtian very uncomfortable:

Older people tend to pay more attention to the beauty of a thriving family, especially the old emperor who lost his eldest daughter.

Due to the narrowness of the hall, the concubines were blocked outside. Hearing her son's mournful cry, the second prince's concubine felt like a knife was piercing her heart, she couldn't bear it, and couldn't care about anything. Ringed with pearls and emeralds, she rushed to the low couch to visit her son:

The eyes of his eldest son, Min Heng, were reddish, but the pupils and the whites of his eyes could still be distinguished; the second son, Min Yu, was very frightening:

Zhao Minyu's eyeballs were red and protruding, the whites of the eyes were unrecognizable, the pupils were cloudy and edematous, his throat was hoarse from crying, and his tears were bloodshot.

"what--"

"Minyu? Minyu? What's the matter with you?" The second concubine's eyes were wide open, and she screamed sharply, her voice split.

The imperial doctor is equivalent to holding his head to diagnose and treat the disease, and he is also desperate, and hastily comforted: "Please take care of your body, and allow me to treat the emperor's grandson."

"Empress, don't you hurry up and ask someone to take her away? Don't cry!" Emperor Chengtian, who was walking outside the threshold, ordered with a headache.

"Yes, Your Majesty, appease your anger." Empress Yang was beating her heart like a drum, and ordered the maid to forcibly pull her daughter-in-law away.

The second concubine struggled wildly, rolling and crawling, and threw herself on her knees in front of the empress and her husband, tears pouring down her face, her makeup messed up, and she cried: "Father, mother, Your Highness, go and see the child!" God, why don't you blind me, blind me, you won't see the child suffer, blind me!"

Witnessing her son's tragic situation with her own eyes, she was afraid that the child might lose her eyesight or even die. As a mother, how could the second princess be calm?She was terrified, trembling, her face was distorted, and her rational demeanor was completely devoid of reason, which made the onlookers feel pity.

"Hey, what are you talking nonsense about? Don't make any more trouble." The second prince picked up his wife, avoiding the other person's eyes without showing any traces - in order to be realistic and smooth, he didn't reveal a word of his plan to his wife.

King Qing frowned, focused his attention on the words and deeds of everyone in the hall, and stopped the five or six sisters-in-law who were trying to squeeze into the hall with the second prince and concubine. Save. Fifth and sixth brothers, let them wait in the side hall."

"En." The fifth prince nodded, barely maintaining his composure.

"Come on! Take my wife to the side hall, so as not to cause more trouble." The sixth prince ordered in confusion. He became a father at the age of 17. It can be said that he grew up with the child, and the father and son have a deep family relationship. It can be said that he rushed into the hall to visit in a panic.

King Qing stretched out his arm to stop him, and persuaded: "Don't go in, the imperial doctor is too busy to be distracted."

The eldest prince collected himself, and also began to persuade: "This hall is narrow and cannot accommodate many people, so it will not affect the treatment."

"Fifth and Sixth, come here. I am also in a hurry, but the imperial doctor must do his best to rescue him, and no one should disturb him." Emperor Chengtian ordered without turning his head.

The fifth prince had no choice but to follow his father side by side with a dark face.

However, at the moment when Emperor Chengtian was about to step into the threshold of the side hall, several imperial physicians rushed out of the ear room, each of them seemed to be facing a formidable enemy, and one of them ran into the emperor head-on with a small silver plate covered with a white cloth, and stopped immediately Kneel down and face each other with colleagues.

"Why are you running? What are you panicking?" Emperor Chengtian asked displeasedly, "What's on the plate?"

This is a big matter, and the imperial doctors fell into a short-term chaos. You look at me and I look at you, and no one dares to report.

"Say!" Emperor Chengtian stopped drinking.

King Qing stepped forward steadily, and explained frankly: "Father, the emperor calmed down. My son just asked the imperial doctor to check the clothes, shoes, socks and belongings that the nephews have changed as usual. We must find out the root cause before we can prescribe the right medicine."

Emperor Chengtian didn't move at all, his face was ugly.

Concubine Han's mother and son felt as if they had been hit by a sap, and they were stunned. They racked their brains to prevent other aspects, but they never expected that their opponent would dare to harm the emperor's grandson!

"Then, what did you find out?" Cheng Tiandi asked slowly, taking two steps closer.

The imperial doctor who was kneeling and holding the silver plate hurriedly backed away, speaking in a hurry, and loudly warned: "This candle is poisonous, Your Majesty, please do not come near it!"

Hey!

poisonous?

Everyone in the bystanders unanimously raised their feet in unison, subconsciously retreating three feet away!

"Protect Your Majesty!"

"Father, be careful."

……

King Qing yelled: "Silence!" He directed the imperial doctor to retreat to the open space under the steps, and reminded: "You should make it clear and report the truth."

Emperor Chengtian was really taken aback. When he came back to his senses, he was furious and asked sharply, "Where did you hide the poison? What kind of poison?"

The imperial doctor's tone was trembling, and he did not dare to hide anything. He lifted the white cloth covering the silver plate and reported carefully: "Your Majesty: These candles come from the lanterns of the emperor's grandsons. It is preliminarily determined that they will produce colorless, odorless, poisonous It irritates the eyes, but the specific toxicity needs to be determined by the minister and the seniors together."

"Since that's the case, why don't you hurry? What are you doing in a daze? If you delay saving people, I want your head!" Emperor Chengtian was furious, with chest tightness and shortness of breath.

"I obey the order." The imperial doctors were respectful and quickly ran into the main hall, for fear of being angered by the emperor.

Emperor Chengtian was full of rage, and glanced away from the corner of his eye, only then did he see Song Shen who was helping King Rui, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly urged: "Doctor Song is here too? Great! You also go in and see if you can heal the emperor's grandson, I have a lot of rewards!"

"Grass people obey the order." Song Shen had been prepared for a long time, lightly opened King Rui's hand, and acted according to the order.He is a private doctor, and he can't practice medicine without authorization.

dead silence all around

"Hidden poison in the lantern?" Cheng Tiandi gritted his teeth, turned his head and stared at the eldest son, and asked word by word:

"It seems that the lanterns of the emperor's grandchildren were distributed by you?"

The eldest prince plopped down on his knees, his face turned blue from holding back, and he expressed nervously: "Father, the ministers have indeed prepared a few unique lanterns for the emperor and grandchildren. The original intention is to let the children celebrate the Lantern Festival, and Min Kun has it too! Please enlighten me!" .”

"Where's Minkun?" Emperor Chengtian asked taking advantage of the situation, scanning the black mass of heads, looking for the eldest grandson of the emperor.

The eldest prince glanced at his wife, who replied tremblingly: "Return to father: Minkun got up at Maoshi today, played in the mansion all day, and didn't even take a nap. He was sleepy just after the banquet, and fell into a deep sleep after the banquet." , the daughter-in-law couldn't do it, so she had to carry her to the concubine's palace for a nap."

"Oh." Emperor Chengtian spoke in a flat tone, suppressing his anger and asked his eldest son, "Where did those lanterns come from?"

Except for the eunuchs and maids waiting for crimes in the corridor, only the eldest prince knelt down in embarrassment. He hadn't answered yet. His biological mother Han Guifei was eager to love her son and couldn't help explaining on her behalf: "Your Majesty, the lanterns were paid by the first brown kingdoms overseas. Inventory, check again when entering the warehouse, it is impossible to make mistakes—”

"Then why are the emperor's grandchildren poisoned?" Cheng Tiandi interrupted coldly, and rarely spoke harshly to his favorite concubine. The emperor's heirs are always the most important thing for the emperor, especially the emperor's grandson who has grown into a boy. Besides, there are six grandchildren in a row tonight. Something went wrong!He has restrained his emotions.

"Concubine, concubine..." Concubine Han was at a loss for words, fearing that she would lose words if she said too much.She recently replaced the ailing queen as the harem. She was proud of her spring, radiant and graceful, but her heavy makeup and gorgeous palace attire were out of place at the moment.

"I implore father and emperor to allow my sons and ministers to investigate the inside story and find out who is so mad that he dares to murder the emperor's grandson!" The eldest prince took a few steps on his knees and resolutely asked for an order. .

The second prince followed closely behind, choked with sobs and mournfully said: "Father, the children are hurt like that, especially Min Yu, my son's heart hurts like a knife, I ask Father to be the master for the children!"

"Father, Brother Xu has always been sensible and filial. He is only six years old, what does he know? I beg Father to allow you to participate in the investigation, and vow to find out the vicious murderer!" The sixth prince was furious, and his tone was firm.

"Brother, calm down, my father has his own judgment." The grounded Zhao Zewu was ordered to attend the Lantern Festival reunion dinner, and whispered to comfort his agitated and out-of-control elder brother.

"Don't be impatient, please calm down." Emperor Chengtian raised his hand to hold down his son, his face changed again and again, and finally called: "Empress?"

"The concubine is here." Empress Yang bent her knees and bowed her head, holding her breath, her palms were sticky with cold sweat.

"I know you need to rest, but right now..." Emperor Chengtian paused wearily, and gave a clear order: "You are still in charge of the harem, you must take good care of the emperor and grandson!"

"Cough, cough, cough." Empress Yang was ecstatic, but she pretended to be weak and coughed, her body swayed, and the veins on the back of her thin hands were protruding. My own energy is weak, and I have failed your trust, and I hope that the younger sister of the imperial concubine will help me more."

"No need."

Emperor Chengtian refused straight away, and said indifferently: "Concubine Han Gui has worked so hard these days, let her rest for a while. Concubine Zhuang?"

"Eh? The concubine is here." Concubine Zhuang was called out suddenly and frowned.

Emperor Chengtian gave a majestic order: "You try to share as much as you can for the queen, and don't shirk."

"The concubine obeys the order." Concubine Zhuang obeyed respectfully and could not refuse.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Concubine Han bit her lip, forbearance with difficulty, aggrieved and furious.

King Qing accompanied the imperial physician into the palace just now to make a tour, then strode out, not having time to take care of others, and solemnly suggested: "Father, the side hall is very close. To ensure safety, please get up and drive back to the palace."

"Yong'er," the furious Emperor Chengtian came back to his senses, worried, and solemnly ordered: "Since the toxicity is unknown, you should also avoid it, and it is forbidden to enter or leave the main hall! Wait for the imperial doctor to hear from you."

"Yes." King Qing first agreed, and then comforted him: "Father, the court envoy said that due to the timely treatment, the emperor's grandchildren are not in danger of their lives. Now we just need to detoxify after the toxicity is clear, and take care of them carefully. They should recover as before. "

"May the gods and ancestors bless me and my grandson Dacheng." Emperor Chengtian clasped his hands together and prayed deeply, his face changed immediately, and he shouted:

"First brown country, right? Cao Liqun, you immediately lead the imperial army to arrest the barbarian envoys and interrogate them overnight. Zexiang, Yong'er and the fifth and sixth are in charge of supervision. No matter what, I will see the confession tomorrow morning!"
