It is said that I was cannon fodder

Chengqian Palace.

Concubine Lan's eyes were full of tears, and she looked worriedly at the imperial physician taking the emperor's pulse. After the imperial physician stopped, Fang asked: "Emperor Li, how is your majesty?"

"Your Majesty was overworked some time ago, and the dragon's body was damaged, and today he is suffering from a strange poison. I can only detoxify His Majesty with all my life, but what the result will be, I...I can't say for sure."

"Ah!" Concubine Lan exclaimed, the champagne in her hand fell to the ground, and then she half threw herself on the emperor, calling out sadly: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please don't leave your concubine alone!"

All the attendants on the side also looked sad, only Gu Jinyu sneered, and said, "Father is still saved, but Concubine Lan is crying so sadly, is she cursing Father?"

As soon as his voice fell, the crying on the other side stopped, Gu Jinyu ignored her, and scolded Li Taiyi: "What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you go and prescribe a prescription! Saving people is like putting out a fire, so you should wait a little longer, Father Just a little more dangerous!"

"Yes, yes!" Imperial Physician Li wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and hurriedly wrote.

Seeing the different expressions on everyone's faces, Gu Mingyou excused Concubine Lan and said, "Concubine Mother was just too worried about Emperor Father, and lost her senses for a while, she..."

"Second Brother, please keep silent." Gu Jinyu interrupted him, "If you interfere with Imperial Physician Li and cause the imperial doctor to write a wrong prescription, can Second Emperor bear the responsibility?"

As soon as this remark came out, Gu Mingyou could not refute it, and it would not be refuted if he did not refute it, his face turned red from holding back.

Concubine Lan, who originally wanted to agree, also closed her mouth. Doctor Li blinked quickly, feeling cold sweat, and writing faster.

After finishing writing the prescription, Fang Chang let out a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat off his head.

The decocted medicine was delivered quickly, and after taking it to the emperor, although the emperor was not awake, his face looked a little better, and he was temporarily out of danger.

At this time, Concubine Lan finally remembered the business. She organized this palace banquet, and now the emperor saved his life. When he wakes up and thinks about this incident, he might blame her.

Moreover, after inspection, the third prince of the Kingdom of Jin was poisoned with the same poison as the emperor. The matter of Princess Yuexi had not been completely resolved before, and today's matter is even worse, so she needs to find the murderer as soon as possible.

The person who was in charge of the meal and the person who had been in contact with the spiked wine was taken down for interrogation. The person who gave the drug didn't resist, and soon did all the tricks, but the result was astonishing.

According to what he said, he was originally a dark child inserted by someone else. He didn't know who his master was, and he just stayed in the palace obediently, waiting for orders from above.

Before the palace banquet started, someone came to see him suddenly, and gave him a paper medicine bag, which contained the poison that the emperor and the prince of the Kingdom of Jin had been poisoned by today.

The man asked him to pour poison into the wine of the Prince of Jin, but he didn't dare to disobey, because before the man left, he vaguely saw the token hidden in his bosom, and that thing belonged to King Jing'an.

But he didn't know why the emperor was also poisoned.

Gu Mingyou was not happy when he heard this, he ordered someone to go down and inspect the medicine bag that this person had not had time to destroy, while he walked towards the eunuch, and said in a deep voice, "Do you know what will happen if you slander King Jing'an?"

"Slave... I dare not, but everything I say is true!"

"But although you keep saying that you are working for King Jing'an, but there is no evidence other than the token you saw, how can you make His Highness believe you?"

The eunuch panicked and said: "If I see that person again, I will definitely recognize him! That person... that person has a very peculiar fragrance. I have smelled it on Princess Jing'an tonight!"

Gu Mingyou's eyes narrowed slightly, "Princess Jing'an?"

"That's right! It's Princess Jing'an! When King Jing'an and Princess Wang entered the palace tonight, the servant was not far away, and I smelled that fragrance all at once. The servant will never admit it!"

Gu Ming was worried and doubtful, so he asked the eunuch to watch over him, while he went to tell Concubine Lan about it.

"I don't think the eunuch is lying. Although the poison on the emperor's father was not done by him, it is most likely done by the group who gave him the order. If the person behind it is really King Jing'an, then he must have big plans This matter seems to have something to do with Ninghua, but I don't know if Ninghua is in collusion with her, or just an abandoned child who was thrown out."

Concubine Lan said: "No matter what role Ninghua plays in it, as long as you get the evidence, you can take down King Jing'an in an open and aboveboard manner. You have repeatedly shown your favor before, but he never responded. The best way is to destroy him directly."

Gu Mingyou was a little hesitant. It wasn't that he didn't want to get rid of King Jing'an. In fact, because of the uncertain factor of Ninghua, he had already thought about getting rid of King Jing'an.

It's just that King Jing'an's reputation among the people is too high, so if he rashly takes action against him, he may involve himself.Now there is a good opportunity, but he is worried that King Jing'an will be turned against him, and his people will not be able to resist.

He spoke out the worries in his heart, and Concubine Lan frowned, "Then what should I do?"

The mother and son were thinking hard when suddenly someone reported that Li Fuquan, the eunuch next to the emperor, begged to see him.The two were startled, thinking that something had happened to the emperor, they hurriedly asked people to come in.

Li Fuquan came in to take a look, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty has something important to explain, please move the Second Highness."

……

In the plum forest not far from Changle Hall, Gu Jinyu and Chu Yechen were standing opposite each other. Suddenly, the latter stretched out his hand, caught a small piece of falling snow, and pulled the person in front of him closer.

"Be careful of being hit by snow, it's not good to get snow in your clothes."

Gu Jinyu didn't resist his actions, but said with a half-smile: "If there is no caring person, this snow should stay on the tree."

Chu Yechen coughed lightly. There was no embarrassment on his face, but his ears turned red slightly. He changed the subject and said, "Princess asked me to come, what do you want me to do?"

"Can't I find you if I have nothing to do?"

"Princess is not a person who likes to suffer." Chu Yechen pointed out that he was just giving flowers that day, but he was ordered to do something, and it doesn't look like he can get away easily today.

Gu Jinyu smiled slightly, "Please, Prime Minister, stand here with me for a while."

Chu Yechen didn't understand what kind of medicine he bought in this gourd, but he didn't take the initiative to ask, and really stood here with him.

He looked down at Gu Jinyu's nose and face that were red from the cold wind, and adjusted his position silently to block the cold wind.

It wasn't until the sound of weapons colliding from Changle Hall that he heard Gu Jinyu say: "Okay, it's time for the prime minister to go back."

Chu Yechen subconsciously nodded, took two steps, and found that Gu Jinyu hadn't moved, so he turned his head and cast a questioning look.

Gu Jinyu said: "I have my own destination, the Prime Minister had better not come with me."

After finishing speaking, he walked into the night, the snow-colored cloak seemed to blend with the surrounding ice and snow, gradually becoming invisible.

Chu Yechen stood there for a while, then suddenly laughed at himself, and chose to enter the Changle Hall.

When he went in, he happened to see the Imperial Forest Army surrounding King Jing'an, and two people next to him detained a man who looked like a guard, and further away, there was a terrified eunuch kneeling.

Because he came in from the main hall, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"What's the matter?" he asked.

"Prime Minister, this eunuch accused King Jing'an of poisoning His Majesty and the third prince of the Kingdom of Jin, and found the same poison from the servants around the prince. The evidence is convincing."

Chu Yechen was surprised, not because of King Jing'an's poisoning, but because of the guard, he had seen it beside Gu Jinyu, and as far as he knew, the master of this guard was Gu Jinyu, not King Jing'an.

His first reaction was that Gu Jinyu was going to poison the emperor to death, but then he felt that Gu Jinyu would be so unwise.

Let's not think about what he is planning, but what does this matter have to do with him, why do you have to drag him to wait outside?

Perhaps his surprised and puzzled expression was too obvious. Gu Mingyou explained: "The old King Jing'an died at the hands of the Kingdom of Jin. For his own selfishness, the King of Jing'an had submitted many times earlier to send troops to the Kingdom of Jin. But The royal father cared about the common people, and couldn't bear to see the people on the border fall into war again, so Fang asked King Jing'an to negotiate a peace with the Kingdom of Jin. Who would have thought that King Jing'an would be resentful because of this, not only wanted to poison the prince of the Kingdom of Jin, provoke wars, but also be angry with his father. Murder is an unforgivable crime!"

When Chu Yechen heard the words, his eyes fell on Qi Ran, but he saw that his expression was indifferent, as if the sword around him never existed.

He narrowed his eyes slightly. He had expected that the emperor would attack Qi Ran, otherwise he would not have sent Qi Ran to negotiate peace with the Kingdom of Jin.

However, he thought that Qi Ran was prepared for this. If the emperor procrastinated, he also procrastinated.

So what is he procrastinating about?

Before Chu Yechen could come up with a reason, he heard a commotion outside, and everyone looked intently, but it was Princess Shou'an who brought the unconscious third prince of the Kingdom of Jin here.

Seeing Gu Mingyou and Concubine Lan, Princess Shouan ran up a few steps and said excitedly: "Brother Emperor, Concubine Mother, I have caught the murderer who poisoned Emperor Father!"

"Shou'an!" Gu Mingyou suddenly felt something was wrong, and was about to stop him, but he heard King Jing'an, who had been silent until now, speak.

"Why is the second prince so excited? Is it because you are afraid that Princess Shou'an will take your 'credit'?"

The ironic words silenced Gu Mingyou, and Shou'an's words had already been spoken, if he stopped it, it would appear that he had ulterior motives.

At this time, Shouan also realized that the situation was wrong. She looked at King Jing'an who was trapped by the Imperial Forest Army for some reason, then at the others, and finally landed on Concubine Lan.

"Mother..."

"Princess Shou'an, who is the murderer you caught?"

Shouan who was interrupted was a little annoyed, but when she realized that it was Qi Ran who spoke, her momentum immediately subsided and she didn't dare to attack.

"Why doesn't Princess Shou'an speak a word? Could it be that she is playing tricks on us?"

"Of course not!" Shou An, who was being questioned, was a little annoyed. She raised her slender hand, pointed at Guan Boyuan who was detained, and said, "The murderer is him! The third prince of the Kingdom of Jin!"

As she said that, she thought she had secretly glanced at Chu Yechen, straightened her chest and said: "This princess found that he was poisoned with the same poison as the father, but the degree of poison was lighter than the father, so she was suspicious, so she personally Going to investigate, I happened to bump into him wanting to destroy the evidence!"

She took out the packet of poisonous powder from her cuff, raised her eyebrows and said, "This is the evidence. Today is the ambition of a wolf in the Kingdom of Jin. He intends to murder my father, and he is worried that he will be suspected, so he intentionally poisoned his wine glass. After all, he spared his life, knowing that the wine was poisonous, he only drank a little, and this princess discovered the clue."

As soon as she finished speaking, she waited triumphantly for the compliment, but she didn't hear the expectant voice. She looked around with some doubts, but saw that everyone looked strange, while her second brother and concubine mother's faces were ashen.
