After I broke up with the emperor

Chapter 29 The New Emperor's Death

"Yaochuan is good at drinking." After Li Yunye finished speaking, he raised his head and drank his own cup.

Until now, Lu Jitang was a little scared. He was afraid that the poisoned wine was not a serious poisoned wine, and what would happen to his own death would be too ugly.

"Yaochuan, when I was still a prince, I thought about it more than once. In the future, when I become the emperor, you will be my prime minister, and Jiaoyu will be my general. I have both civil and military arms. Why can't I govern well?" The country, governing my people?"

Maybe it was because Lu Jitang was about to die, but Li Yunye actually started to say some heartfelt words.

"But now that there are internal and external troubles, the Li family is not only breaking up from within, but even my blood brother is going to resist my order," Li Yunye poured another glass of wine for Lu Jitang and asked in a low voice, "Yaochuan, what are you doing?" Don't blame me, right?"

Lu Jitang's throat trembled slightly, but he was unable to speak.

"Yaochuan, don't be afraid, I take pity on you and will not treat you badly."

After you die, I will definitely bury you with honor.

"Yao Chuan offers a cup to the emperor."

With the idea of ​​early death and early rebirth, Lu Jitang raised his glass again and drank it in one gulp. He was very anxious, whether the poisonous wine would hurt or be unbearable if it broke out in a while.

Lu Jitang didn't wait for the poisoned alcohol to take hold, but he waited for a mouthful of blood from Li Yunye on the opposite side.

Li Yunye was choking his throat tightly, unable to utter a word, he could only stare at Lu Jitang.

"Ho, ho..." This was the only sound Li Yunye could make, but when he opened his mouth, a big mouthful of blood gushed out again.

He wanted to call for help, but he couldn't speak, no one here could save him.

He stretched out his hand to Lu Jitang, he didn't know whether he wanted to beg him to save him, or to take him away before he died, but Lu Jitang seemed to be frightened and remained motionless.

In the end, Li Yunye's body slowly slid to the ground without moving.

Lu Jitang's whole body felt as if he had fallen into a cellar of ice. The poison struck so fast that Li Yunye vomited blood until he died, and it took only a few seconds for him to react.

"Remote River!"

Someone called him, Lu Jitang was shocked, and saw Zhou Baoyong standing behind him.

"Sir..." Lu Jitang finally came to his senses, and explained with red eyes: "Sir, it wasn't me, I didn't do it, I don't know, I don't know why..."

I don't know why the poisonous wine that was supposed to be drunk by him got into Li Yunye's stomach.

"Yaochuan, I will keep the secret for you, you don't have to be afraid, come with me now, no one knows we have been here."

Zhou Baoyong dragged the stunned Lu Jitang back to the secret road, and returned to the Emperor's Mansion along the way he came.

"Yaochuan, take a good rest. I'll pretend I didn't see what happened today. I raised you, so I'm naturally on your side."

Seeing that Zhou Baoyong didn't believe him, Lu Jitang tightly grabbed his sleeve, begging bitterly: "Sir, you believe me, it's really not me! I didn't, I didn't want to kill His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

He was too scared, and called back the emperor's previous title.

"I believe you, Yaochuan, sleep well, nothing happened tonight."

As Zhou Baoyong said, he lit a tranquilizing incense for him.

Lu Jitang's eyes gradually lost their light, and the hand that was tugging on Zhou Baoyong's sleeve was unable to slip off.

Sir he doesn't believe in himself.

Will he tell Li Yunjian?

Lu Jitang shivered all over, where are Li Yunjian and Li Yunjian?

Will he know that he killed his own brother?

Did he kill it?

Lu Jitang also couldn't tell who killed Li Yunye, how could the glass of poisoned wine escape from his own hand to Li Yunye's, did Li Yunye make a mistake?

He curled up beside the bed, not daring to light a candle, he was afraid that people would know what happened tonight, he was afraid of seeing Li Yunye's body lying on the ground, afraid of seeing Li Yunjian looking at him full of anger.

"Not me, not me..."

The moment before the tranquilizing incense was extinguished, Lu Jitang finally closed his eyes.

That night, the news of the new emperor's death reached the palace of Zhou Baoyong and other ministers. Several ministers rushed into the palace, and under Zhou Baoyong's suggestion, they concealed the news of the new emperor's death and kept it secret.

Han Zhi rushed to the northwest schoolyard overnight, and secretly called Li Yunjian and Chu Jiaoyu back.

At dawn, Li Yunjian saw Li Yunye who had lost his breath in Lenggong.

"His Royal Highness King Li."

The civil and military ministers who knew about this incident knelt on the ground one after another. Zhou Baoyong grabbed the ground with his head with tears in his eyes.

"The old minister is incompetent, so he can only conceal the news of the emperor's death. If a traitor finds out that the emperor is dead, Meicheng may take advantage of this to launch an attack. His Royal Highness Li Wang must make a decision!"

What Zhou Baoyong said is correct, Li Yunye is fashionable and can frighten Li Yundai who is far away in Meicheng, if Li Yundai knows that Li Yunye is dead, a hundred thousand troops will definitely go north to attack Jianyuan immediately.

Li Yunjian didn't listen to a word. Li Yunye's death was not good-looking, his eyes were wide open, his mouth was also open, his chest was full of blood, as if he had experienced great pain before his death.

"Who did it?"

Hearing Li Yun's remonstrance question, Zhou Baoyong raised his eyes.

"Who did it!" Li Yunjian roared suddenly.

Eunuch Li, who had been by the emperor's side all the time, knelt on the ground crying bitterly, stammering about what happened last night.

"The emperor ordered the servant to hold a banquet in the cold palace, and called the servant to prepare good wine. He only said that he wanted to get together with old people, but the servant waited outside. After waiting for two hours, the emperor did not come out, so he had to go into the palace to check. I saw, I saw that the emperor has already..."

After speaking, he walked to Li Yunye's side, and kowtowed vigorously while shouting "Damn the slave", until the person who kowtowed passed out.

Han Zhi also knelt on the ground, followed by Eunuch Li's words.

"I was on duty in the palace yesterday, and when I was patrolling around the cold palace, Eunuch Li cried and called me to go in and have a look. After a brief inspection, the emperor should have died of poisoning, but there was no call for help at that time, and the doors and windows in the palace were intact. It is not known how the murderer got away."

Suddenly Li Yunye's death became an unsolved case.

Leaving aside how the murderer left after the murder, just mentioning that Li Yunye suddenly held a banquet in the cold palace, it is worth pondering.

After Li Yunjian listened, he closed his eyes tightly, feeling as if his chest was blocked by a stone wall, making it hard to breathe.

In just two months, he experienced the loss of his father and brother, but the cruel thing was that the murderer who killed his father was still at ease in Meicheng, and he didn't know who the murderer of his brother was.

Lu Jitang woke up from the bed and had been waiting for a letter from the palace, but he hadn't waited for the news of the emperor's death, so he probably guessed in his heart that the palace would suppress this matter.

He is now afraid of seeing Li Yunjian, as long as Li Yunjian questions him, he will recruit them all.

Just as he was thinking, Li Yunjian came back, and as soon as he entered the house, he first pulled Lu Jitang into his arms and hugged him tightly, as if holding a piece of driftwood in the water.

Lu Jitang raised his hand and patted him on the back.

"Yunan, what's wrong?"

If Li Yunjian asked, he would tell him all about yesterday, and there should be no concealment between them.

But Li Yunjian didn't say anything, he buried his head on Lu Jitang's shoulder and took a deep breath.

"It's nothing, it's just that something happened suddenly in the palace, so I rushed back today," Li Yunjian let go of Lu Jitang after finishing speaking, "I'll come back to see you, I'll go back to the palace now, you should study hard, you're due in half a month Exam."

After speaking, Li Yunjian rode his horse into the palace again. He didn't dare to tell Lu Jitang that Lu Jitang was going to take the imperial examination, he was afraid of disturbing Lu Jitang's mind.

He's just too scared. When people are scared, they will find a place that they think is safe. Lu Jitang is the only safe place in his heart.
