Stranger and Chen in the Palace

Inside Yuwang Mansion.

There were two trembling people kneeling on the ground, King Yu stared at them with a gloomy face: "You can't even poison, what's the use of my king keeping you?"

The two hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy: "The poison was indeed blood sealing the throat, and we don't know why the Third Highness is fine, it really has nothing to do with us, my lord, please forgive me, my lord, please forgive me, we will definitely make up for it!"

"Seeing blood seal the throat!" King Yu sneered, and Shi Shiran said: "Drag them down and deal with it."

The faces of the two were as pale as paper in an instant, they had been with King Yu for so long, how could they not know what "handling" meant, they immediately crawled over and howled and begged for mercy, but the guards on both sides hadn't waited for them to climb to the feet of King Yu, He picked them up and dragged them out, and the faces of other people in the hall were also very ugly.A man in black who looked like a scholar stepped forward and asked boldly, "My lord, do we want to poison again?"

King Yu slowly closed his eyes, and shook his head: "Ling Yichen has already noticed the failure of this operation, so let's wait and see." Finally, he said bitterly: "When did the second brother treat me so softly?" Originally, he wanted to wait for Ling Yihao to make a move, but the other party didn't move. If it weren't for this, there wouldn't be a tripartite confrontation today.Now someone under him started to move around, trying to get closer to Ling Yichen, otherwise he wouldn't be in a hurry to get rid of him.One Ling Yihao had already given him enough headaches, so another Ling Yichen came.Unexpectedly, a prince in the cold palace could jump out to fight with him. The more King Yu thought about it, the more he hated him. Why did he miss him in the first place?

The next day, when he came back from the academy, Ling Yichen asked Shunde to find an imperial doctor. Shunde thought that his master was not feeling well, so he hurried to the imperial pharmacy to bring an imperial doctor.

After Ling Yichen shunned everyone, he took out the pill he brought back from Ling Yize: "Take a look at what this is?"

The imperial doctor took it carefully, picked up the pill and sniffed it under his nose, his face suddenly changed color.

"What did you find?" Ling Yichen stared at him.

"His Royal Highness, I'm just guessing at the moment, I don't dare to confirm it, please allow me to throw this medicine in the water, and I'll know after a test." The imperial doctor said with a frown.

Ling Yichen nodded.

After getting permission, the imperial doctor poured out a glass of water from the white jade pot, and then put the pills into the water. After a while, the water turned red until the blood was thick.

"Is there any conclusion?" Ling Yichen asked.

The imperial doctor finally came to his senses, and hurriedly asked: "Your Highness, where did you get this medicine?"

"It seems that I am asking you now." A trace of coldness flashed across Ling Yichen's eyes.

The imperial doctor also realized that he was talking too much, and hurriedly said: "This medicine is called Danni, it is more accurate to say it is a chronic poison than a medicine. It will not kill people immediately, but as the people who take it accumulate over time, The poison will slowly invade the internal organs, limbs and bones. The longer you take it, the greater the damage to the body. Once the poison occurs, you will definitely die, and there is no abnormality in the inspection."

"What are the symptoms of those who take it?"

"When you take it for the first time, you will vomit blood and pass out. After that, you will not have any symptoms for half a year. After half a year, people will feel dizzy from time to time. Taking this medicine every time you feel dizzy can relieve it."

"Can the poison be cured?"

"Although this poison is overbearing, it is still easy to detoxify as long as the person who has taken it has not exceeded half a year. However, once half a year has passed, the poison has spread all over the body, and I am afraid that there is nothing I can do. The only way is to let the poisoned person stop taking the medicine immediately, so as to recover, but Even so, the lifespan of the person who takes it will be greatly reduced, and there is a possibility of death from poisoning at any time..." The imperial doctor's voice became smaller and smaller, because he noticed that Ling Yichen's eyes were getting colder and colder, and he couldn't help but shudder. I shivered.

"What happened today, if a third person knows..." Ling Yichen didn't say any more, just looked at him coldly.

The imperial doctor hurriedly knelt down, panicked and said: "I must keep my mouth shut, and I will never reveal a word."

"Go back!"

"Yes."

In the afternoon, Ling Yichen brought some pastries to see Ling Yize.

Seeing Ling Yichen coming, Ling Yize was very happy. Before him, no one had ever visited him, let alone brought him something.

"Brother Huang, you brought me pastries so soon..." Ling Yize said with a shy expression, "Brother Huang is really bothering you, you should visit Brother Huang."

Looking at the pale and refined young man in front of him, Ling Yichen couldn't help but think of what the imperial doctor said this morning, and felt rather uncomfortable.

As soon as he entered the inner hall, Ling Yichen asked Shunde to close the door and guard the door.

Ling Yize looked at him puzzled, Ling Yichen said directly: "Yesterday I took a pill from you, and this morning I gave it to the imperial doctor for identification."

Ling Yize looked at him in surprise, his face gradually became ugly.

"Why do you still take the medicine when you know there's something wrong with it?" Ling Yichen stared at him.

Judging from Ling Yize's reaction yesterday and his expression now, he already knew that the medicine was poisonous!

Ling Yize lowered his head when he heard the words, pursed his lips tightly, his face became more and more ugly.

"How long have you been taking this medicine?" Ling Yichen asked.

Ling Yize lowered his head and still didn't speak, the Qianju hall was so quiet at the moment that only the sound of their breathing remained.

Since the two got along, it was the first time that Ling Yize was so cold and silent.

Ling Yichen looked at him for a long time, then suddenly raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, closed his eyes and said, "I'm only asking this time, if you don't want me to interfere in your affairs, I won't ask again in the future."

Although Ling Yichen's tone was light, every word he said was like an iron axe, digging hard into Ling Yize's heart. This matter was his biggest secret, and it was related to his life.Ling Yize knew very well that if he refused to answer Ling Yichen today, then this imperial brother would not care about him anymore, he really didn't want to lose the warmth he had so hard to get.

But if he told Ling Yichen, would he really be able to survive in this palace?

To trust or not to trust?Ling Yize was at war in his heart.

Seeing that he was still silent, Ling Yichen sighed slightly in his heart, and was about to get up and leave.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Ling Yize grabbed his sleeve, shook his head and begged, "Brother Huang, don't go—" Finally, he seemed to have made up his mind, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything..."

Ling Yichen watched him hold his hand, and his voice softened a bit: "I won't leave, don't worry."

"Yeah." Ling Yize nodded quickly, let go of his sleeve, and said, "I have been taking this medicine since I was nine years old. I didn't know there was something wrong with the medicine at that time. The eunuch at the imperial pharmacy told me it was for strengthening my body. I believed that I took the medicine, but I vomited blood and fell into a coma at that time. My father sent an imperial doctor to see me. The imperial doctor said that it was caused by too much yang heat in my body, and it was not a serious problem. He only prescribed a few doses for recuperation. At that time, I suspected that there was something wrong with the medicine that the eunuch gave me, but I didn’t dare to say it, because I knew there must be a master messenger behind him. Since then, the eunuch will send me a bottle of medicine every month, and send someone to I took it under surveillance, and did not relax the surveillance until half a year later. Afterwards, I would faint from time to time, and the imperial doctor also saw it many times, saying that it was caused by too weak body, and prescribed some tonic medicine. But those medicines are of no use at all, and only by taking the medicines sent by the eunuch will he get better."

In other words, Ling Yize has been taking the poison for a long time, and he remembered what the imperial doctor said this morning, and asked with a frown, "Who did it?"

Ling Yize subconsciously looked outside the door before whispering, "Brother Emperor!"

"How do you know it's him?" Ling Yichen was a little puzzled, since the man was going to poison him, why did he reveal his identity.

"I also overheard the eunuch telling the person who watched me once." Ling Yize replied.

Ling Yichen still frowned: "You're not a threat to him, why would he do that?" He couldn't figure it out. In Ling Yize's situation, it was impossible to compete with him for the position of ruler, so why did he want to go down? This killer?

Ling Yize laughed miserably: "Brother, you have not been out of the garden for a long time, so you don't know about it. The big brother is cruel. He wants to be the emperor, but he can't rub the sand in his eyes. He won't know anyone who might inherit the throne." Let it go. He has been sending people to assassinate the second emperor brother, but the second emperor brother always has a way, unlike me—" Ling Yize lowered his head slowly as he spoke, and said: "If it wasn't for the emperor brother, you have been living in the Yingyuan, I'm afraid it's also..."

Ling Yize didn't go any further because the conclusion was very obvious.Indeed, he really knew very little about Ling Yihong, apart from meeting each other at court every day, there was no interaction.

"Why didn't you tell Father?" Ling Yichen narrowed his eyes slightly.

Ling Yize shook his head: "It's useless, there are people around me who are sent by the emperor to monitor, I am afraid that the elder brother will have removed everyone's ID before I took the medicine to the father. On the contrary, if the emperor If brother knows that I have reported him, I will definitely die faster. And even if the eunuch is caught, Brother Dahuang can deny it flatly. I am a soft-spoken person, and my father may not believe it."

"I have a way to make you stop taking poison." Ling Yichen's eyes flickered slightly.

Ling Yize was surprised: "How is that possible?" I told him the matter, but I just didn't want to lose the little concern I had, but I never thought of asking Brother Huang to help him solve the problem, and this problem is not easy to solve at all.

Seeing that he didn't believe him, Ling Yichen had no choice but to tell the whole story about his plan, not to mention that this plan also required Ling Yize's cooperation.

After hearing Ling Yichen's plan, Ling Yize was stunned, and it took him a long time to react, and said in shock: "Brother Huang, you can't do this!"

"This may not be the only way, but it's definitely the best way." Ling Yichen smiled.

Seeing his insistence, Ling Yize became impatient: "Brother Huang, since you know the harm this medicine can do to your body, why do you take the risk? Yize, Yize is not worthy of Brother Huang."

Ling Yi comforted him: "Actually, it's not just for you, he also poisoned me yesterday." Seeing his surprise, Ling Yichen added: "It's the poison that seals the throat with blood!"

Ling Yichen finally convinced Ling Yize, and after the two agreed, they immediately acted according to the plan.

In order not to startle the snake, Ling Yize sent someone to the imperial pharmacy to find Xu He, the eunuch who delivered the medicine, and lied that the medicine accidentally fell into the water and asked him to bring another bottle.Xu He didn't know what it was, as soon as he walked into the gate of Qianju Hall, he was restrained by Lian Feng who had been waiting for a long time, and was taken to a secret place and imprisoned.

After receiving the signal that Xu He was arrested, Ling Yichen poured out a pill and was about to take it, but seeing Ling Yize still looked worried, he said helplessly: "It's not good for you to act like this."

"Don't worry, Brother Huang, Yize will definitely remember your instructions." Ling Yize said hurriedly.

Ling Yichen nodded, raised his head and took the pill.Not long after, he felt that his lower abdomen was burning, and a gust of hot air rushed straight to his chest. The blood in his chest immediately flowed backwards. He couldn't help vomiting a mouthful of blood, and passed out immediately.

Ling Yize quickly hugged him, and called out to Shunde outside the door.Ling Yichen's face in his arms was frighteningly pale, and the pool of blood on the ground was even more shockingly red.Ling Yize forced himself to be calm, and ordered Shunde to help the emperor brother to the bed with him, and then immediately reported to the emperor.Shunde didn't know what it was, and thought that His Royal Highness was really in danger of being poisoned, so he cried anxiously.At this moment, Ling Yize was also extremely anxious, he only hoped that the emperor and the imperial doctor would come quickly, but nothing could go wrong...
