Struggle History of the Reborn Son

Chapter 16 Sudden Poisoning

Although the candidate for the accompanying reading campaign was announced after the Spring Festival, Xiao Shiyuan was the prince, and he had more frequent contacts with the emperor than ordinary people, and his actions were very fast.

After worshiping the ancestors on New Year's Eve, and after the family dinner at night, he deliberately stayed to play chess with the emperor to watch the year, and it seemed that he had mentioned it inadvertently.

"Father, I heard that Mr. Xu's chess skills are also good."

The emperor Xiao Mingyi didn't seem to hear it, he was just thinking about how to play chess.

Seeing that things were not as simple as he thought, the prince gave up and just played chess with the emperor.Unexpectedly, after a while, the emperor lost, dropped the chess piece, stood up and stood with his hands behind his back.

"He is indeed a good boy. It is reasonable for you to consider Ji'er, but..." Ji'er was talking about Xiao Shiyuan's eldest son, Xiao Ziji.

Xiao Shiyuan stood up, did not dare to make a sound, and waited respectfully, maybe there was something hidden in it.

After contemplating for a long time, Xiao Mingyi sat down again, and said to the prince: "Yuan Er, you are already a prince, and you are always in charge of this world. There are some things that you should know..."

"You know, that child of the Xu family is not the current Mrs. Xu's own." Xiao Mingyi said.

Xiao Shiyuan thought for a while and replied: "I seem to have heard a little bit that people outside say that Mr. Xu is very lucky. He first married the jewel in the palm of Uncle Shouning's family, and he was also favored by the loyal Marquis."

"Then Yuan'er still knows Mrs. Shou Ningbo?"

"Mrs. Shou Ningbo is from Duke Zhong..." Xiao Shiyuan suddenly silenced, and said cautiously: "Father's meaning, could it be..."

Xiao Mingyi nodded, suddenly looked at Xiao Shiyuan solemnly, and said solemnly: "The late emperor, that is, your emperor's grandfather, once passed on to me a word of Taizong Wudi's legacy, saying that loyalty to the government of the country should not be reused within three generations."

"But, the Zhongguo Duke's Mansion is already in the hands of Emperor Taizong, isn't it gone?" Xiao Shiyuan wondered.

Xiao Mingyi shook his head and said: "The Duke of Zhongguo's mansion has indeed disappeared and returned to dust. Although Xu Jingxuan's surname is Xu, he can be regarded as the only closest bloodline of the Duke of Zhongguo's mansion."

At this point, Xiao Shiyuan no longer insisted, but he had already mentioned Duke Zhong, Xiao Shiyuan couldn't help but want to take the opportunity to know more things, and tentatively said: "The Duke Zhong's mansion is also considered a meritorious service for the founding of the country. It's a pity that there are no descendants."

Xiao Mingyi naturally understood his son's words, and stopped categorically: "Yuaner, Duke Zhong's mansion is a taboo of the royal family, even the emperor knows very little about it, so it must not be mentioned again in the future."

Xiao Shiyuan was shocked, although he knew that there must be something hidden, he didn't dare to ask any more, he hastily pleaded guilty and withdrew.

Generally speaking, people can't be stupid to be the first bird, and the first bird is easy to be missed by others. Xu Jingxuan is a living example.

Let's say that when Xu Jingxuan woke up on New Year's Eve, Xu Renwei sent someone to pass it on immediately.

As soon as Xu Jingxuan entered the door, he bowed to his father like a dog, and said: "Xuan'er has seen my father, did you eat well yesterday? My son is dull, and he went back to the palace last night. The food and wine in the palace are better than those at home. Too much, my son was greedy for a while, drank two more, and felt as if he was in a fairyland, but there were so many boys in that fairyland, all of them were eloquent, and my son seemed to be bullied a lot last night, but when he woke up, he didn’t remember how he was bullied. People bullied..."

Hearing Xu Jingxuan's nonsense, Xu Renwei's complexion became darker and darker. What a boy, before he asked, he preempted his mouth and beat the snake with the stick, saying that he was too drunk and didn't remember.Still being bullied?How did you argue with the ministers last night, even the Minister of Rites dared to go back!

Really... poor parents in the world!

The son is not good enough, and the father hates iron but not steel; he is too talented, and he must guard against the sky's jealousy!

Seeing that he couldn't find anything to ask, Xu Renwei gave up, and turned to care about his son's health: "I was hungover last night, but I'm fine."

Seeing that his father didn't want to pursue it, Xu Jingxuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It's just a headache, everything is fine." At the end, he asked tentatively, "Father, did the child cause any trouble for you?"

Seeing that the child is teachable, Xu Renwei looked a little better, and said, "It's okay, don't force yourself next time."

Xu Jingxuan nodded, to be taught.

Next, Xu Renwei took another exam on Xu Jingxuan's essay, and seeing that his son's answer was acceptable, Xu Renwei felt that maybe he should take a good look at his eldest son.

So, I stayed for lunch again.

It was around one o'clock in the afternoon when Xu Jingxuan left his father's Haohan Pavilion and hurried back to Cuizhuyuan. Xu Jingxuan told Second Aunt Cui what happened in the palace last night.

Second Aunt Cui also looked at Xu Jingxuan in surprise, and said after a long time: "Next time, don't be reckless, you are still young, you should keep a low profile."

Xu Jingxuan comforted Second Aunt Cui carefully, expressing that he didn't dare anymore, after sitting for a while, he said goodbye, saying that he would go to the secret room to practice martial arts with Master Tian.

Second Aunt Cui told him to be careful not to be noticed, and allowed him to leave.

After Xu Jingxuan left, Second Aunt Cui frowned. What happened last night might have left a lump in the heart of the man in the palace.

Xu Jingxuan escaped the eyes and ears of others and came to the secret room, Tian Jingyu was already waiting for him.

"The young master is hardworking, and it is the blessing of his subordinates."

"Where, let Master Tian wait for a long time."

After speaking, without delay, he directly entered the topic and sat up in meditation.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already nighttime, and it was New Year's Eve. Xu Jingxuan didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly said goodbye, saying: "Master Tian, ​​there are a lot of things to do during the new year, I'm afraid I won't be able to come every day, you also go home for a while." It's been a good year, after the seventh and eighth day, come and test my internal strength again."

Tian Jingyu's family is in the outskirts of the city, and he naturally hopes to have a happy New Year with his family, the young master is so considerate of his subordinates, he naturally obeys.

It's just that I didn't expect that when we met again on the eighth night of the eighth day of the lunar new year, Xu Jingxuan seemed to be in a bad complexion and coughed a little.

"Young Master, if you are not in good health, let's forget about it today." Tian Jingyu was very worried, ten years had passed, and it was not going to be day and night, the young master's health was still the most important thing.

Xu Jingxuan raised his hand to signal: "It's okay, I might have caught a cold."

Tian Jingyu still has doubts in his heart, the young master has already started to practice the inner strength method, and he has 20 years of inner strength cultivation to protect the body, how can he easily catch the cold?Immediately, he called Xu Jingxuan's pulse.

"Young master, you didn't catch a cold, you were poisoned!" Tian Jingyu said in surprise.

Poisoned?How can it be?

Xu Jingxuan had an unbelievable expression on his face, since his mother's lineage was dead, and most of his father's relatives were not in the capital, he hadn't been out in the past few days, and he ate and lived in Cuizhuyuan, how could he be poisoned?

"Master Tian, ​​did you make a mistake?" He just coughed a few times. It's normal to have a cold and cough in winter. Colds are easy to get better, but coughs are hard to cure. He always thought so.

Tian Jingyu stomped his feet anxiously, and hurriedly said: "It's absolutely true, it's about the young master, how dare the subordinates speak nonsense, the young master may have just been infected with the poison, so the symptoms are relatively mild, just a cough, if it takes a long time That's it, my voice will be ruined!"

Became dumb!so serious.

Thinking that he might become a "dumb", Xu Jingxuan frightened himself enough. In his previous life, he relied on his brain and mouth for food, and he had the potential to be a chatterbox. In this life, he has become a mute and does not speak. Wouldn't he want to suffocate to death!

"Then will I die?" Xu Jingxuan was more concerned about his own life and death than being dumb, after all, he had already died once.

Tian Jingyu shook his head; "That's not true. The person who wanted to poison him didn't want the young master's life." Otherwise, Xu Jingxuan would be dead now, thinking about Tian Jingyu, he felt afraid.

"I'll go back and check it out." Xu Jingxuan coughed a few more times as he spoke.

Tian Jingyu nodded, he wanted to investigate, but the most urgent thing is to help the young master remove the toxins from his body first.Immediately, Tian Jingyu found a piece of paper, ink, brush and inkstone in the secret room, picked up a pen and wrote urgently, and said: "Tian is a young man who has studied medicine for several years when he was walking in the rivers and lakes, and he also knows a little about poison. After the young master goes out, he must Immediately follow this prescription to buy decoction and drink it, three times a day, drink plenty of water, the throat will be more comfortable, remember to find out the source of the poisoning, otherwise detoxification alone will not help." After finishing speaking, the prescription has been handed over to the Xu Jingxuan.

Xu Jingxuan nodded cautiously, it was about his throat, he must be careful!He wanted to see who in the Xu family wanted to harm him.

With a firm mind, Xu Jingxuan immediately left the secret room and went straight to the Green Bamboo Courtyard.

Seeing Second Aunt Cui, Xu Jingxuan shunned everyone, and then told about his poisoning and Tian Jingyu's discovery of the prescription.

Second Aunt Cui's complexion turned pale immediately, she was furious, but she suppressed the anger in her heart immediately, and said in a flat voice: "Xuan'er told Auntie about this for the first time, because she must have regarded Auntie as a trustworthy person, this happened in Cuizhuyuan , Auntie must investigate and find out the truth, and give you an explanation!"

Xu Jingxuan said: "Don't worry, Auntie, Xuan'er naturally believes you, Xuan'er only told Auntie, because she didn't want to startle the enemy, and if someone wants to harm us, Xuan'er will naturally let them out and make them pay the price."

Second Aunt Cui nodded and said, "Xuan'er is right."

With the backbone, Second Aunt Cui was not so nervous, and arranged things one by one in an orderly manner.

Since it was related to Xu Jingxuan's safety, and the incident happened in Cuizhuyuan, the second aunt Cui did not dare to use anyone in Cuizhuyuan. She first invited the doctor in the mansion, saying that Xu Jingxuan was caught in the wind and cold, and asked the doctor to prescribe some medicine to dispel the cold. For the prescription for coughing, let the servants in the courtyard decoct the medicine.Then he sent other cronies to grab the antidote for Xu Jingxuan first, and then fried it himself for Xu Jingxuan to drink.

At the same time, Second Aunt Cui secretly checked all the people who entered and left the Cuizhu Courtyard in the past few days, and then checked all the things that Xu Jingxuan had used, touched and touched recently, without missing a single one.

That night, the source of the poison was discovered.

To the surprise of Aunt Cui and Xu Jingxuan, the poison was found in the hand warmer that Xu Ruoshui gave to Xu Jingxuan. To be precise, the poison was soaked in the silver ash charcoal of the hand warmer.

Colorless and odorless, it is hard to detect.
