Tang Dynasty Never Night

Li Hong spent a lot of effort on the banquet in the Prince's New Palace of Jiucheng Palace. Most of the officials above the fifth rank came, and Li Zhi personally gave the order, and the various foods for the banquet were also carefully determined.

There was a lot of seafood at the banquet, and I have to say that it was not easy. If I wanted to deliver fresh seafood this day, the difficulty was about the same as that of Concubine Yang Guifei who knew how to deliver lychees.

Although it is not very hot in autumn and July, if there is no ice along the way, those sea crabs and shrimps will probably stink.Li Xian had no other problems during the two years in Yangzhou, but he started to like to eat seafood, and he ate a lot that night.

Everyone at the dinner that day could be said to have had a great time. At that time, Li Xian didn't think there was anything wrong. He even walked away talking and laughing with Zheng Qi.On the way back, Zheng Qi rode a horse, while Li Xian rode a chariot.Zheng Qi only remembered that at one moment Li Xian was smiling and wanted to hand him oranges, but at the next moment Li Xian suddenly held onto the car window with a pained look on his face.

Zheng Qi's reaction could not be described as unpleasant, almost instantly he knew that Li Xian was not feeling well, so he immediately jumped off the horse and got into the carriage, because he was involved in everything, Zheng Qi's medical skills were probably better than the Mongolian doctor, but When he jumped into the carriage, Li Xian had curled up and collapsed in the carriage, so painful that he couldn't even make a sound.

When Zheng Qi picked him up, under the background of the night pearl in the car, he happened to see thin blood lines overflowing from Li Xian's nose and mouth. Following the nose and mouth were the eyes and ears. Zheng Qi's pupils contracted almost instantly. Li Xian is poisoned.

Because it was not far from Shouwang’s other courtyard, Zheng Qi immediately decided to use physical means to induce vomiting, and at the same time sent people to Shouwang’s mansion to tell him to prepare rice soup, and then sent people to report to the palace. He also sent someone to the prince’s place, and then He hugged Li Xian and ran all the way back to the other courtyard.

Probably Zheng Qi did a good job in inducing vomiting. Although Li Xian's bleeding from the seven orifices looked terrifying, his body still had vital signs. When Zheng Qi saw the blood stains, his first reaction was that Li Xian had been poisoned.

Rice soup can absorb toxins. After arriving at Shouwang Bieyuan, Zheng Qi took the prepared rice soup and poured it down to Li Xian. After all, it was Li Xian who supported Feng Yu to come.

After Feng Yu came over and checked it, his legs were weak for a moment, and he said tremblingly: "Arsenic poisoning."

At that moment, Zheng Qi felt that his whole body was stiff, as if his whole body was frozen, he couldn't believe it at all, he couldn't imagine how could Li Xian be poisoned by arsenic in just such a short while?Arsenic poisoning at this time...basically means no cure, who?Who poisoned Li Xian?Is it the orange from before?

For a moment, Zheng Qi's heart was filled with violence, he wished he could rush to the East Palace to kill the prince!Even if he didn't realize it before, Zheng Qi now understands how important Li Xian's position in his heart is, it's so important that it surpasses his future, it's so important that he can ignore his superiority, it's so important...that he doesn't care about his own life at all.

Fortunately, Feng Yu's next sentence saved Zheng Qi who was about to run away. Feng Yu breathed a sigh of relief after a detailed inspection and said: "The arsenic is not eaten too much, and there is still help!"

"Then... trouble Fengyu." Zheng Qi knew that it was inappropriate for him to be here, but he was worried and didn't want to leave. Anyway, the lady of the saint knew his relationship with Li Xian, so he didn't want to go no matter what others said. Never mind, now he just wants to stay by Li Xian's side.

After going through a series of detoxification measures, Feng Yu prescribed a prescription and gave Li Xian the medicine himself. Zheng Qi wanted to intervene, but Feng Yu's aura was so strong that he suppressed him .

Of course, Feng Yu will be stronger, and this is related to his job and life. Last time, Shou Wang was only infected with a cold, so he went to Yangzhou to treat Shou Wang. Now Shou Wang is poisoned, although the reason for the poisoning is unknown. Find out, but if something really happens to King Shou... Feng Yu thinks that he probably won't be able to get out of this other courtyard of King Shou—is he going to eat people if he doesn't see General Zheng's eyes? !

In this way, Fengyu took root in Shouwang Bieyuan by the way, and Zheng Qi really wanted to stay. After all, although Li Xian's condition seems to have stabilized now, this detoxification method is too painful, and he will have to feed medicine after a while , and didn't know what the ingredients in that medicine were, Li Xian almost threw up once after taking it.

Even if Zheng Qi knew that this was detoxification for Li Xian, he still felt very distressed, but he had no reason to stay, Li Xian's situation stabilized, Zheng Qi's identity was a little sensitive, and at this time Empress Wu personally coming.

His son was poisoned and his life was dying. As parents, they naturally wanted to come and see, but Li Zhi also fell down when he learned about it. There was nothing serious about it, just a relapse of his old illness. It was impossible to see Li Xian. It can only be Empress Wu.

When Zheng Qi saw Empress Wu with a gloomy face, even though he was always calm, he couldn't help but retreated to the side and didn't dare to raise his edge—the aura of Empress Wu was extremely terrifying now.

After Empress Wu arrived, naturally she would not cry like an ordinary mother. Instead, she asked about Feng Yu's situation. After learning that Li Xian was fine, she felt relieved, and then said: "I don't care what methods you use. I have to cure Qilang for all the medicines! If you need anything, go directly to the internal warehouse to get it, and just leave a record, and you don’t need to report.”

Empress Wu was about to leave after speaking, Li Zhi was still ill, she should go back even if she was worried about Li Xian, but she took Zheng Qi with her when she went back.

"Were you by Qilang's side when he was poisoned?"

Zheng Qi immediately saluted and replied: "Yes."

What he sent over was his own attendant, and the insurer and the raccoon slave were already in a panic at that time, so they were not suitable for this kind of thing.

Empress Wu didn't say anything but nodded, "Follow me."

What Empress Wu said was concise, and Zheng Qi followed Empress Wu without any nonsense and left.After returning to Jiucheng Palace, Empress Wu directly took Zheng Qi to the Central Palace. Li Zhi's headache seemed to have passed. At this time, he was half sitting and half leaning on the throne with his eyes closed, and the prince and princess were also standing on their faces With unconcealable panic, Li Hong was always hesitant to speak, and after seeing Zheng Qi, the expression on his face became a little complicated.

Li Zhi opened his eyes when he saw Empress Wu approaching and asked, "How is Qilang?"

Empress Wu sighed: "I've saved my life for the time being, but the next... depends on luck."

Zheng Qi stood aside and lowered his eyebrows, as if he hadn't heard that Empress Wu deliberately made Li Xian's situation serious. In fact, Li Xian didn't have much poison in his body, and the next step was to detoxify and heal his wounds. After all, he still hurt his vitality.

"What poison?" Li Zhi asked with a frown.

"Arsenic."

After hearing this, Li Zhi's expression was also very bad. He didn't even look at Li Hong, and instead asked Zheng Qi: "What happened at that time?"

Zheng Qi stood there and stated the situation at that time with the eyes of all parties. When he heard that Li Xian was bleeding from all seven orifices, even Li Zhi and Empress Wu couldn't help being very nervous after going through the storm.

After listening to Zheng Qi's narration, almost everyone felt that the orange should be the problem.But Zheng Qi said: "That orange... I also ate it at that time, there is nothing unusual."

At that time, Li Xian was teasing Zheng Qi with oranges, and the two of them ate the oranges one by one, but Li Xian had something wrong, while Zheng Qi was fine!

This is enough to prove that the problem is not caused by the oranges, but no matter whether it is caused by the oranges, the Crown Prince will probably have to find out about this matter, because the oranges were also brought out by Li Xian from the banquet.

Li Zhi turned his head to look at Li Hong, his tone was not very severe, it still sounded the same as usual, he asked very flatly: "Goro, what do you say?"

However, with just such a sentence, Li Hong knelt down at that time, and His Royal Highness, who was kneeling there, was pale, and his body was precariously looking even more fragile than Li Zhi.

"Daddy, daddy, son... I don't know how Qilang got poisoned..."

Zheng Qi looked at the prince covering his face and weeping, and suddenly said: "I don't think the prince did it."

Li Zhi looked up at Zheng Qi: "Oh?"

Li Hong also looked at Zheng Qi in surprise, the tears on his face hadn't been wiped away yet.

Zheng Qi said calmly: "Your Highness has always loved brothers and sisters. Back then, he even asked for the burial of the common man Li Zhong's bones. How could His Highness be so benevolent and plan to poison His Highness King Shou?"

Li Hong didn't say anything after hearing this, but still looked at Li Zhi with an aggrieved expression.He couldn't say that no matter how stupid I am, I wouldn't kill my brother at my own banquet.

To be honest, Zheng Qi’s reasons are quite ridiculous. Yes, Li Hong did ask to collect Li Zhong’s body at the beginning, but the situation was different from now. No matter how great the ability is, it can't turn the sky, let alone die?Using a dead person to show his benevolence and righteousness, both courtiers and Li Zhi will praise him.

Can Li Xian's current situation be the same?Of course, some people may think that the crown prince's biggest opponent should be Li De, the king of Yong. If he wants to poison him, he must poison Li De to death. However, since everyone knows that Li De and Li Hong are not on good terms, how could Li De be defenseless? It seems that only the King of Shou, who has worked so hard and won the favor of the saint's wife recently, is the best way to go, isn't it?

What's more, compared to Li De, Li Xian is probably more threatening in various aspects. After all, Li Xian was really in charge of a state's government and military affairs before.

Zheng Qi's purpose was not to intercede with Li Hong, of course it appeared to be so on the surface, but in fact he was arousing Empress Wu's anger from another aspect.At the beginning, Li Zhong's dead Empress Wu was the main force. For the eldest son of the emperor, Empress Wu definitely couldn't tolerate it at that time. Li Hong's actions at that time could not be regarded as embarrassing to Empress Wu, but it was true that Empress Wu was unhappy.

At that time, this point of unhappiness should not be a big deal, but the quantitative change caused the qualitative change. Now, when Wu later recalled this incident, his anger value would probably rise by several points.

Zheng Qi is adding fuel to the flames, but he also knows that even if this matter is really done by the prince, it will probably not be announced. Li Zhi will probably use various methods to cover it up, not to mention that there is no definite truth now. Evidence proves that the prince did it.

Li Xian's crime this time is probably in vain. Of course, he will reveal a murderer, but that murderer is definitely not the real murderer.

Zheng Qi knew in his heart that this was the best way, and Li Xian had better not force the other party to jump over the wall just now that he was out of danger.But reason belongs to reason, emotion belongs to emotion, even Zheng Qi sometimes wants to completely abandon reason.

Fortunately, he has not completely abandoned his rationality now, so he did not kill the prince, but only planted a hidden danger for him. Empress Wu will not make it easier for Li Hong.

After hearing Zheng Qi's words, Li Zhi took a deep look at him and sighed, "Continue to investigate until the murderer is found."

Zheng Qi calmly saluted and resigned. This matter has nothing to do with him. Even if he went to investigate, it should be handed over to Dali Temple. All Zheng Qi can do is to record a statement or something.

It's just that Zheng Qi always felt that things were a little strange. Before he had time to think carefully after returning home, he turned around and saw Yang waiting for him with red eyes. Even Zheng Linjiang looked worried.

Because the poison was sent halfway, even if he wanted to block the news, he couldn't do it. What's more, Zheng Qi didn't have the energy to block the news at the time. On the surface, he was very calm and decisive at the time, but in fact he knew it himself. Seeing that Li Xian's hands were shaking, no, not only his hands, but his whole body was shaking. At that moment, he even knew what panic was.

Zheng Qi comforted Yang Shi carefully, Yang Shi still had a good impression of Li Xian, a young boy who was white and tender, looked cute and cute, and would not put on airs in front of them, a very friendly person, such a person It is easy to gain the favor of mothers.

When Yang Shi heard Zheng Qi say that the water here is too deep and the murderer is not easy to find, she couldn't help but said in distress: "His Royal Highness Shou Wang is such a good boy, what does the saint lady say?"

Zheng Qi sighed: "The sage was stimulated by the news of King Shou's poisoning and fell ill. Now I can only ask Dali Temple to investigate, but everyone at the banquet is fine, and I have no problem eating that orange, so now there is no problem at all." Easy to check."

Zheng Linjiang muttered: "Could it be that the prince really did it?"

Zheng Qi hurriedly said: "Father, don't make wild guesses. Your Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness Shou Wang have always been brothers and sisters, so how could they poison His Highness Shou Wang? This matter... Let's do it first. I want to come to Dali Temple It will definitely be found out.”

Yang Shi and Zheng Linjiang were soothed by Zheng Qi's coaxing and deceit, and they went to sleep worriedly. In fact, the two of them were still worried. Since the person who poisoned even dared to move His Royal Highness Shou Wang, would he also be hurt? To Zheng Qi?It's just that Mrs. Yang didn't dare to say this sentence, so she could only worry herself half to death.

How could Zheng Qi not know what Yang was worried about?It's just that he can't take the initiative to tell Yang that he wants to draw a line with Li Xian. Not only does he not want to draw a line, he even wants to find out who is behind the poison.

At this moment, Li Xian was a little drowsy. He felt as if he was asleep but not asleep. The feeling that his whole body was floating was very strange, as if he had left his body. , One scene after another passed in front of his eyes. There were campuses, dormitories, and work units he was familiar with. Li Xian looked at these places with nostalgia. As soon as he walked forward, he heard someone calling him from behind.

The man called him: "A Shi!"

Li Xian was in a daze for a moment before he remembered that Zheng Qi was the only one who would call him that.

Zheng Qi, Li Xian felt a little reluctant when he thought of him, and when he turned his head, he saw Zheng Qi standing at the gate of Shouwang Mansion and looking at him quietly. On the left was the modern life that Li Xian had missed for a long time, and on the right were his two I found such a lover in my life.

Li Xian glanced at the place where he used to live and work with some reluctance, then turned his head and walked towards Zheng Qi step by step. With a bright smile, even Li Xian, who already felt that he had become resistant to Zheng Qi's beautiful face, couldn't help but be blushed by the other party's smile at this moment.

Li Xian looked at Zheng Qi stretching out his hand to him, and subconsciously reached out and put his hand on it. After putting it on, he only felt a white light flash in front of his eyes, and then his whole body was falling rapidly. The falling process was very uncomfortable. There is a kind of pain in the six internal organs, the most uncomfortable thing is his nausea, and he can't help but want to vomit.

In fact...he really vomited it out, but there seemed to be nothing in his stomach, and what he vomited out was acid water and black potion.

After Li Xian vomited, he opened his eyes in a trance, and then saw Zheng Qi sitting beside him helping him straighten his hair. After realizing that Li Xian had opened his eyes, Zheng Qi was obviously relieved and said quickly: "Fengyu, the king wakes up!" gone."

Feng Yu, who was watching the medicine, ran over quickly, and after stretching out his hand to feel his pulse, Feng Yu let out a sigh of relief: "It's good to wake up, it's good to wake up."

Li Xian was very weak. He seemed to have no strength to speak while lying on the bed. It took him a long time to open his mouth and ask hoarsely, "I... what's wrong with me?"

Although Zheng Qi is still beautiful, there is an unconcealable exhaustion in his expression.Facing Li Xian's question, he hesitated for a while and said, "You...you were poisoned before, but now you're cured. The poison in your body has been almost eliminated. You just need to rest well."

"Poisoned?" Li Xian looked at Zheng Qi in a daze, then remembered the sudden pain that night, his eyes widened for a moment, looked at Zheng Qi and asked with difficulty: "Who is... who is it? "

Zheng Qi shook his head: "It hasn't been found yet, don't worry about it so much, take care of your health first, and leave the rest to me. Dali Temple is also investigating the case."

Many thoughts flashed through Li Xian's mind, but he didn't utter a single one. This time, he was seriously injured by the poisoning, and it was not suitable for him to think too much. After saying these two words, Li Xian fell into a deep sleep again.

Zheng Qi reached out and touched his forehead, and found that there was no fever, then turned to look at Feng Yu: "Is Your Majesty out of danger?"

Feng Yu nodded with fear on his face. It was obvious that he had almost eliminated the poison with medicine before, but Li Xian still almost failed to save him. He didn't wake up for three days in a row. Later, he even had weak breathing, let alone Feng Yu at that time. , everyone in Shouwang Mansion is afraid.

Zheng Qi nodded after knowing it: "I'm sorry to trouble Fengyu, I will take my leave first."

He still has work to do, he can't keep guarding Li Xian like this every day, there is no way, who made the sage not be able to act now.

Because of Li Xian's incident, the sage seemed to be overly stimulated, and immediately fell ill, to the point where he could not even listen to the government. The reason is that after the attack on Empress Wu's family, the state affairs are basically the crown prince's words.

The hearts of the prince's family gradually stabilized. They all knew that the matter of King Shou probably did not affect the prince, and the prince was also a little excited and wanted to behave well. I came to visit Li Xian in person, but it's a pity that Li Xian's condition is really bad, the few times he came, Li Xian was in a coma.

But Li Xian who was in a coma let him breathe a sigh of relief, otherwise he didn't know how to explain it to Li Xian. He really didn't do this thing, and he still hasn't figured out how it happened. Well, Li Xian has checked everything imported by Li Xian, and there is no arsenic in it, but it is true that Li Xian was poisoned.

Li Hong would not think that Li Xian did this to frame him. After all, it was Arsenic who died accidentally. From Li Xian's point of view, there is probably not much conflict of interest with him now, so it is not appropriate to do so. .

And at this moment, Feng Yu suddenly brought up a possibility that Li Xian's poisoning was probably not caused by direct poisoning, but by food!Feng Yu dared to say this is the conclusion he came to after thinking for a long time.

The problem lies in the oranges and seafood. Zheng Qi asked someone to combine all the food that Li Xian ate at that time and tested it with cats and dogs. After eating the dishes at the prince's banquet, the cats and dogs did not respond. , After giving them oranges, they all died suddenly. After inspection, they were also poisoned by arsenic.And the reason why Zheng Qi was not poisoned is also very simple, he doesn't like to eat seafood, he didn't touch any seafood at the banquet!

There is no murderer, it is all due to accidental ingestion, and this incredible poisoning incident seems to have just disappeared.

It’s just that many people are still doubting the prince—where did King Shou’s oranges come from?Why only he ate it and others didn't?Did the man who gave him the orange know that oranges should not be eaten with those seafood?

There are still mysteries, but they did not continue to investigate, which is also what the saint lady meant.

After Li Hong waited in fear for such a result, he was really relieved, and knew that Li Zhi was defending him.

It's just that after this result came out, many major events happened in the court.In the past two years, I don't know whether it was because Li Xian's sacrifice was effective or the year was good. Anyway, there were no disasters anywhere in the country.

However, after Li Hong came to power, God suddenly didn't give face. In Xinsi, there was a heavy rain in Wuzhou, and the water overflowed, drowning six hundred residents. In Guiwei, the heavy rain in Yingzhou lasted for three days. Oreki.

Li Hong was very busy all of a sudden, and the household department was also very busy. At the same time, there were faint rumors in both the folk and the upper class that the Shouwang was poisoned, and God was angry. Nothing happened, so many things happened to Prince Jian Guo now, probably because he was the murderer.

These rumors make Li Hong very angry, but he can't do anything. In the face of everyone's doubts, the only thing he can do is to pretend that he doesn't know. It has nothing to do with him.

Zheng Qi sneered at Li Hongqiang's braced appearance, the rumors were his handiwork, he knew that even if the crown prince didn't do it, the crown prince was still guarding against Li Xian, he couldn't do anything to the crown prince, and he couldn't make the crown prince feel better?

It's just that what happened next, no matter how strong the prince's mentality was, he almost collapsed.

In August Jiyou, a strong wind destroyed the Taimiao.
