History of Yongwu

Chapter 273 Poisoning

In front of the gate of the palace, the guards kept breathing into their hands. Suddenly there was the sound of horseshoes at the end of the royal road. The guards were stunned for a moment, and looked hurriedly. King Jin came riding alone.

Qin Yu rode on the horse without looking at anyone, the palace door was open, he raised his whip, and the horse's hooves knocked on the white marble floor tiles with a clear and crisp sound.

The "School Captain" guard hesitated and said, "horse horses are not allowed in the palace."

"Shut up," the captain glared.That's the King of Jin, what a galloping horse.

In the Hall of Changxin, Qin Yu stood under the imperial steps, looking up, the twilight was shining obliquely on it, as if faintly hinting at him, he moved his footsteps, and then backed away in fear.

Taking a deep breath, Qin Yu shook off the snowflakes on his body, lifted the corner of his robe, and slowly climbed up the stairs.In the hall, the prince and a group of imperial physicians gathered together, whispering something.

"What's going on?" Qin Yu stood still.

Wang Gonggong was talking to an imperial physician, and when he heard King Jin's voice, he shuddered and turned around quickly, "See you, my lord"

"Why is the queen mother sick?" Qin Yu stood in front of him with a cold expression.

"Return to the prince" the prince was sweating coldly, he raised his sleeve and couldn't help wiping it, and said, "The imperial doctors have made a diagnosis, the queen mother...it seems...it seems"

"Say!"

"It seems to be poisoned"

Boom, Eunuch Wang was kicked out suddenly, Qin Yu looked at him with his hands behind his back, "The forbidden area of ​​the palace can be poisoned, what are you all doing?"

"My lord calm down!" The prince immediately knelt down.

"Shut up" Qin Yu kicked him again, without even looking at him, he walked directly to the inner hall. "Imperial Doctors" A large group of imperial doctors followed King Jin fearfully and entered the inner hall step by step.

The sky was getting dark, the palace lights were turned on in the hall, and Qin Yu looked at the bed curtains. Nangong Yuliang was lying on the bed, with the thin gauze curtain blocking the outside, but Qin Yu still saw that his cheeks were pale and bloodless.

"What poison?" Qin Yu asked calmly while looking at the bed curtain.

The imperial physicians standing beside them looked at each other, and the leading imperial physician Liu stepped forward and said, "Go back to the prince, I don't know the poison I have suffered."

King Jin turned his head, his eyes were sharp, Doctor Liu took a step back, and hurriedly said, "Although the poison is violent, Weichen and others have already treated it, and there is no life-threatening situation at present. The minister and others are urgently discussing it, and they will surely be rescued as soon as possible." Queen Mother"

"It is said that all the imperial physicians of Jin Palace entered the palace and discussed with the imperial physicians to save the queen mother."

"Yes" Wang Gonggong promised to pass the order quickly.

The imperial doctor retreated to the outside to discuss in a low voice, Qin Yu glanced around the hall, and saw the palace attendant standing beside him, beckoning.

"My lord," the maid timidly agreed.

"What did the Queen Mother eat before she was poisoned?" Qin Yu looked at her.

"After lunch, the Empress Dowager was fine and stayed with Her Majesty for a while. Later, King Jianning and King Nanding entered the palace to greet him as usual. The Empress Dowager asked the prince to take Her Majesty away. The Empress Dowager and the two Highnesses had tea and talked for a while. After saying that, the two Highnesses will leave, and the Queen Mother will suddenly pass out after a quarter of an hour," the maid replied with her head bowed.

Your Highness, with tea...

Qin Yu clenched his palms tightly, saw the prince who came in, and ordered, "The Imperial City Imperial Army immediately surrounded Jianning Palace, Nanding Palace, and the nine gates were closed. Anyone who dares to leave the city will be arrested by this king, and Li Han will lead them personally." To guard the palace, the capital is under martial law from now on, no one is allowed to see you without this king's order."

The prince's eyes changed slightly, but he lowered his head in time and walked out of the hall quickly. If the queen mother really made a mistake, the palace would change hands in an instant, and it would be meaningless to argue with King Jin now.

"Quickly tell the Prime Minister and Grand Master" outside the Changxin Hall, the prince whispered to a little eunuch, who saluted, looked around and left quickly.

It was getting dark, and scattered stars were hanging in the sky. The little maid lit the palace lanterns outside, quietly entered the door and stood beside the prince.

"Father-in-law" the maid lowered her voice, glanced at King Jin in the room, "The gate of the palace should be locked, King Jin..."

Eunuch Wang raised his hand to interrupt, frowned, and silently shook his head to signal her to back down.The little maid retreated, and the prince glanced inside. King Jin was sitting on the soft couch, looking down at the scroll in his hand.

The cold winter wind lingered around the pillars outside the hall, and the voice hummed. Qin Yu read the sentences in the book word by word, trying to calm himself down.

dong dong

The sudden sound made Qin Yu's heart tremble violently, and the scroll in his hand fell off. Looking up, the little maid was so frightened by his eyes that her knees gave way.

"what's up?"

"My lord, Your Majesty... Your Majesty is crying"

"Then what are you still doing here?" Qin Yu scolded.

The little palace maid knocked her head on the ground and replied, "At this hour of the day, His Majesty has to be hugged by the Empress Dowager so that His Majesty can fall asleep."

Looking sideways at the person on the bed, Qin Yu suppressed his increasingly irritable guilt, picked up the scroll and said to her, "Bring Your Majesty here"

After a while, Eunuch Wang came in holding the young Young Emperor. Young Emperor was crying, his round face was covered with tears. Qin Yu stood in front of him, looked at him for a while, and suddenly stretched out his hands.

Um?Wang Gonggong looked at King Jin, hesitated for a moment, and slowly put the young emperor into King Jin's arms.

"Father" Young Emperor stretched out his two fleshy little hands towards the direction of the bed curtain.

Qin Yu hugged him and looked carefully. The young emperor's small nose and shallow eyebrows were very similar to Yuliang. He smiled subconsciously, then turned away, looked sideways at the bed curtain, and walked slowly over.

Eunuch Wang's eyes widened suddenly, his mouth half-opened as if he wanted to say something, King Jin seemed to have a premonition that he was going to speak out, and spoke first.

"You two, stand aside"

In front of the bed tent, Qin Yu lifted the gauze curtain, and finally saw Nangong Yuliang, more haggard than before.

He hesitated for a moment, instead of sitting beside him, he knelt beside the bed, placed the young emperor beside Nangong Yuliang, and patted him gently.

Wang Gonggong stood by the door and looked at the two people over there, and suddenly felt that the light in the hall dimmed, making him a little unclear.

'This is the new tile of Pinnacle Palace, show it to the prince'

Wang Gonggong remembered that day, King Jin's blood spurted very high. That day was the victory of Emperor Xuan, the victory of the court, and the great shame of King Jin!

"Go down, I'll be fine here." He lowered his voice and whispered to the maid next to him.The maid retreated, the prince glanced at the bed curtain, and turned slightly sideways.

"Daddy...Daddy..." The young emperor was still crying, hugging Nangong Yuliang's arm, as if he was about to climb onto Nangong Yuliang's body.

"Shhhhhhh" Qin Yu hugged him down, put his finger on his lips, and whispered, "Daddy is asleep, your majesty should sleep too."

"Daddy... wants..."

The young emperor struggled and wanted to climb onto Nangong Yuliang, Qin Yu held him down, patted him lightly, and comforted him softly, after a long, long time, the young emperor finally fell asleep, hugging Nangong Yuliang's arm.

With a sigh of relief, Qin Yu picked up the young emperor, and the little guy left Nangong Yuliang's arm, hugged his arm tightly, and stuck it to his chest.

Looking down at the little guy's peaceful appearance, Qin Yu smiled at him, glanced at the prince who was standing sideways, lowered his head slightly, and kissed the young emperor on the forehead.

Yuliang, you must wake up, otherwise what will happen to His Majesty, or what will happen to your great enemy.

"Your Majesty is asleep, please take care of me." Qin Yu recovered his expression and stood in front of the prince.

"Yes" Wang Gonggong quickly took the young emperor and left quickly.

In Jianning Palace, Princess Jianning held the child, looked in the direction of the study worriedly, and walked over.

"Your Highness"

"Why are you here?" Qin Yi stood up and looked down at the child in her arms, "You still have Zhang'er"

"Your Highness, nothing will happen, this has nothing to do with you." Princess Jianning looked at him and said comfortingly.

How could anyone in the imperial city really have nothing to do with it? Qin Yi shook his head and said with a smile, "I see, you can go back."

"temple··"

"Let's go back!"

Princess Jianning left helplessly, Qin Yi watched her go, stood at the window, pushed open the sash, and the cold wind blew in, relaxing his oppressed heart a bit.

He doesn't know who the murderer is, but it must be to put himself to death. Now he can only hope for the messenger he sent, otherwise...

Qin Yi has been standing by the window, he can't fall asleep, and he will never fall asleep until there is a result.

On the official road of Yiyang City, a man rode a horse and entered the city as if fleeing for his life. Xu Xiuhe looked at the letter in his hand, and his brows trembled.

"Is this true?" He pressed the table and looked at the person kneeling on the ground.

"Back to the general, after His Highness entered the palace, the Empress Dowager suddenly fell ill, and then King Jin came back. I'm afraid that the capital has already been sealed off, and every move will put His Highness to death."

Xu Xiu and his throat moved with difficulty, and subconsciously touched the jade pendant on his chest.

"Come and reorganize the army, return to Beijing." He stood up abruptly, and ordered solemnly.

The news of the blockade of the capital spread to all places in an instant. In the Jiaozhou barracks, the sergeants were busy and preparing to leave.

Outside the camp gate, a person came suddenly, his figure was hidden under a thick cloak, he whispered a few words to the guard at the gate, and the guard turned and left.

"Master Hou, someone from outside the camp asked to see him and said he came from the capital."

Yan Shijun raised his head, "Please come in"

The guard led the man into the door, and the man took off his cloak as soon as he entered the door, and knelt down to Yan Shijun, "Lord Hou"

"You are Ji'an?" Yan Shijun recognized him. Ji'an is the eunuch next to Nangong Yuliang.

"It's a villain"

Yan Shijun stood up all of a sudden, repelled the guards, stepped forward to help him up and asked, "Ji'an, what's going on in the capital, and how is the Queen Mother?"

"Lord Hou, the queen mother fell ill, King Jin sealed off the nine gates and took over the palace"

"audacious in the extreme!"

Yan Shijun was about to leave, but Ji An grabbed him and said, "Master Hou, don't panic, this is the queen mother's plan."

Trick?Yan Shijun looked at him, and suddenly felt very uncomfortable in his heart. Ji An didn't notice his expression, and whispered a few words in his ear.

"Where is the token?"

While taking out the token, Ji An said in a low voice, "The Empress Dowager ordered that Lord Hou must not lead his army back to Beijing, otherwise King Jin will use this as an excuse to kill Lord Hou."

Yan Shijun held the token tightly, and said in a deep voice, "I know." Ji An left and left, and Yan Shijun stood for a long time holding the blood-stained brocade book.

Capital

Hundreds of officials gathered outside the gate of the imperial city, and Li Han led Jin Wangjun firmly in front of the door. The gathered officials became more and more angry, and suddenly the sound of horseshoes came from the corner of the street, and Xu Han and Wang Qian came together.

"See the prime minister, see the grand master." Li Han cupped his hands.

"General Li" Xu Han stepped forward, "The queen mother is ill, we naturally have to enter the palace to ask her well, why are you stopping here?"

"Returning to the prime minister, the final general will lead the 'King of Jin' to stay here, and I don't know the rest."

Xu Han's complexion changed, Wang Qianhe stepped forward to interrupt him, looked at Li Han and said, "General Li, the nine gates are closed, the capital is under martial law, and all officials are panic-stricken. If things go on like this, sooner or later there will be troubles. King Jin's move seems to be inappropriate." , or ask King Jin to come out and explain to everyone."

Li Han bowed, raised his eyebrows to look at him, and said hesitantly, "Ladies and gentlemen, later." Li Han turned and entered the palace gate.

Xu Han, Wang Qianhe looked at each other with complicated expressions. After a while, King Jin came out slowly.

"See the prince" Wang Qian saluted.

Qin Yu stood in front of the people, glanced at him, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"My lord, why did the queen mother fall ill, where is your majesty, why are the nine gates closed, King Jianning..."

"Master" Qin Yu interrupted Xu Han's words, "The empress dowager's illness is being searched by the imperial physicians. Your Majesty is safe and sound in the palace. As for the closure of the nine gates, it is to prevent Xiaoxiao from making trouble. The purpose of surrounding the Jianning Palace and Nanding Palace is to protect the two. Your Highness"

Wang Qianhe frowned, remembering the news sent by the palace yesterday, pondered for a moment and said, "Since the empress dowager is only seriously ill in the capital city, there is no need for martial law, otherwise people will speculate on it."

"Teacher" Qin Yu suddenly approached and whispered, "You understand that the Empress Dowager is not just seriously ill."

Wang Qianhe's face changed slightly, Xu Han frowned and said, "In this case, His Majesty should be moved to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, so as not to disturb the Queen Mother."

"The Son of Heaven is young and cannot be separated from the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager is seriously ill, but the Prime Minister asked His Majesty to separate his father from his son. What is your intention?"

"Prince Jin!" Xu Han finally couldn't bear it anymore, "You besieged the imperial city and trapped the emperor and queen mother in the forbidden palace. You are rebellious!"

"This king wants to clean up the imperial court"

"nonsense"

Just as Wang Qianhe was about to dissuade them, there was the sound of horseshoes on the stone road behind him. Yue Hong jumped off the horse, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, General Xu Xiuhe of the left will lead his troops back to Beijing."

Everyone's face changed, especially Xu Han.

"There is no need for martial law? This king is disobedient?" Qin Yu glanced at the two of them, and sneered, "Come here, take all the adults to the tower, and let's see what General Xu is going to do?"
