Tianhuang nobleman

Chapter 107

Qi Xiao has an order, and the clan's family dare not neglect, but after a stick of kung fu, the Ming County King hastily brought people here, and the Ming County King greeted Qi Xiao first when he entered the palace, Qi Xiao waved his hand and said, "There is no need to be rigid about etiquette." , when the second prince was eating just now, the second prince suddenly became poisoned, he thought he had eaten something he shouldn’t eat, the prince’s life is related to Guozuo, so I must trouble the county king.”

The king of Mingjun said he didn't dare, and said in a low voice: "Excuse me, Your Highness, all the meals that the second prince used just now are here..."

"Wait a minute!" Empress Feng supported the nanny to stand up, shaking her voice, "This is the palace's garden, so it's possible that the palace will harm its own children? Just now... it wasn't some kind of poisonous hair It's just that Hua'er choked and coughed too hard, so she coughed up blood, and... nothing serious."

King Ming Jun saw Empress Feng at this moment, and he was busy apologizing to Empress Feng while saying hello to Empress Feng. Empress Feng had a big heart on her mind, so how could she pay attention to him? Faintly agreed, and slowly said: "It's so, then... Forget it, Jiang Deqing, tell me, don't let the imperial physician come, just choking, it's okay to cough it up, please ask some imperial physician."

"How dare you!" Empress Feng became anxious in an instant, and sternly said, "If you miss Qi Hua's life, I will ask you to be buried with me!!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the hall was dumbfounded, let Qi Xiao be buried with Qi Hua?Having said all this, is Empress Feng really crazy?

Qi Xiao has a very good temper at the moment, and he said with a leisurely smile, "What's the matter, Empress? He also said that Qi Hua was just choking, and that Qi Hua's life would be missed if the imperial doctor didn't come,... King Ming ,do you understand?"

The king of Mingjun was in a cold sweat. He had been in charge of the clan mansion for many years, so he didn't know about the bad things that happened to the emperor and queen back then. The position of crown prince was just changed to Qi Xiao's adoptive name. The king of Ming County knew that there would be a big chaos in the future. The root of this disaster has been buried for a long time. The king of the county only hoped that he would be wise enough to protect himself and escape this chaos alive. Seeing that Qi Xiao asked him that his head was covered in cold sweat, he hesitated for a while and said vaguely: "Your Highness, forgive me, I... I am stupid, but... since I came out After this matter, then..."

King Ming Jun glanced at Empress Feng from Yu Guang, gritted his teeth and said, "It's better to investigate thoroughly, otherwise, when the emperor wakes up, I won't be able to explain to the emperor."

"You!" Empress Feng was furious, and when she was about to say something, Concubine Xue Gui who was standing beside her suddenly let out a chuckle, lightly stroked the coral Huasheng on her temples and said slowly: "Forget it, you can't do anything for Empress Dowager , if it is according to the meaning of the palace, it is better to make big things into small things. The empress said before that the emperor is not in good health now, and the imperial doctors have to take good care of the emperor. These minor illnesses and pains will pass away , don’t work as an imperial physician... now, the second prince is just choking, let alone mobilize the crowd, according to what I said, everyone should leave..."

Concubine Xue smiled happily. Before Qi Qi was poisoned, a dose of medicine could save his life, but Empress Feng refused to let the imperial doctor, so her son's illness was delayed, and Qi Qi was still weak now, and the feng shui took turns Oh, God, open your eyes, and let this poisonous woman taste what it's like to have her son's life hanging by a thread, but she can't save it!

Empress Feng almost exploded her lungs by letting these people talk to each other, and she didn't care about decency, pointing at the crowd and sneering: "Okay... okay, haha... It really is the wall that fell and everyone pushed! Okay Check it out! Immediately ask the imperial doctor to check Hua'er's pulse, and if something goes wrong, I will let the entire imperial hospital be buried with Hua'er!"

"No rush." ​​Qi Xiao curled his lips into a smile, turned to look at Jiang Deqing, "Have you already gone to invite my prince?"

Jiang Deqing bowed: "Returning to Your Highness, I have already sent people to invite you, but the residence of the princes is far away from here, and the princes have a long life, so there may be some delay."

Mingjun Wang was dumbfounded: "Please... what are you asking the princes to do?"

Qi Xiao said indifferently: "The murder of the emperor's heir is such a big matter, if it is really found out, can Zong Ling, a small county king, really handle it?"

King Ming Jun swallowed, shook his head embarrassingly, and Qi Xiao smiled lightly: "So... the emperor is unconscious, so I want to invite a few clansmen who can be suppressed and dealt with, the lonely king is not filial , I have to work for a few old princes."

King Mingjun secretly pressed his sweaty forehead with his cuff, nodded and stopped talking.

Empress Feng lost another three points when she heard the words, she turned her head and leaned weakly on the bed of Arhat. Concubine Xue secretly admired in her heart. In fact, she hesitated for a while when she first found out that Empress Feng was going to poison. She wanted her son to be the emperor, and she couldn't get rid of it for a while. At that time, she secretly speculated that if she let it go, she would let Empress Feng poison Qi Xiao to death, and then she would expose Empress Feng herself, and wait for the emperor to wake up. After dealing with the poison, at that time, regardless of whether the second prince Qi Hua really participated in this matter, he would not be able to be the crown prince with such a mother queen, wouldn't the throne become his son's?

However, this thought only lingered in Concubine Xue Gui's mind for a moment before she suppressed it, not to mention that she could not wait for the emperor to wake up, just who is Qi Xiao?Can he not find out the news that he can find out?If he knew afterwards that he did not report what he knew, the crime would be even greater.

Concubine Xue Gui only thought that Qi Xiao would not go to the banquet, or would expose Empress Feng on the spot, but she never thought that Qi Xiao had already lined up troops and waited for Empress Feng to join her, so she dealt with Qi Xiao without any trace. Hua, and completely pulled Empress Feng off the horse, killing two birds with one stone, the most rare thing is that from the beginning to the end, he was completely out of the way, investigating the case for the family to investigate, and testifying for the old princes of the family to testify, just waiting for the emperor Woke up, no one can blame Qi Xiao.

Concubine Xue Gui glanced at Qi Xiao and felt scared. Fortunately, she was not confused at the time, such a character... was never something she could mess with.

The imperial doctors were treating Qi Hua in the side hall, and everyone was sitting in the warm hall. After half an hour, several princes came, and Qi Xiao got up to greet the several princes. It was great, and I didn't care about anything else. After I greeted Empress Feng, I hurriedly said: "What's the matter? Is the second prince okay?"

Empress Feng frightened Qi Xiao so much that she almost lost her soul, and her face was pale. When she saw the old princes coming, she suddenly surged with strength, and she fell down on the Arhat bed with a wailing sound and cried loudly: "The uncles are finally here!" Here it comes... If you don't come, your grandson Hua'er will die..."

Concubine Xue Gui smiled sarcastically, how capable is the battle of trapped beasts?

The old princes were very confused, Qi Xiao looked at King Ming, who had offended Empress Feng just now, so he didn't care anymore, so he had to walk all the way to the dark, stepping forward to separate Empress Feng from the other princes , bowed and briefly talked about the matter just now, and finally said: "The empress said that the second prince is choking, but my nephew is thinking privately... The matter of the prince's life is very important, so don't be careless. I think it should be thoroughly investigated. After a while, my nephew is the patriarchal decree, but... such a big matter still requires all the uncles to discuss and make a decision, so I discussed it with His Royal Highness, and I have labored for all the uncles."

Old Prince Shou nodded and said: "Very, very... Your Majesty is still in a coma. If the prince makes a mistake, it is not your fault. You should be careful, Prince..."

Everyone looked at Qi Xiao, and Qi Xiao said indifferently: "Since the incident happened, not a single plant or tree in this palace has been touched, what happened just now, what happened now, everyone sitting here can prove it, everyone is here now, The order can be checked."

Empress Feng wanted to say something, but she opened her mouth, and the people looking at this hall couldn't say anything.

There were all witnesses and material evidence, and the case was simple, so it was clear after a while that it was Qi Hua's bowl of round-grained rice that had gone wrong. King Ming tried it with the silver needle he brought, stepped forward and said: "The japonica rice is non-toxic. The poison was smeared on the bottom of the bowl. I don't know... I don't know why it wasn't detected before."

After checking here, the following is convenient. From the silver chopsticks used by everyone to the craftsman who made the chopsticks, they pulled out all the rattan. Everyone confessed that it was Empress Feng who did it.

The old princes looked at each other, they never expected that it was Empress Feng who did it, and Empress Feng screamed for grievances: "All uncles are watching, am I crazy? I want to kill my son?! It's obviously Qi Xiao who A poisonous snake, it's him!!"

Qi Xiao smiled lightly: "That's right, but that's not what those craftsmen outside said, and... the poison was also dug out from your queen's bedroom, what does it have to do with me?"

Empress Feng was speechless for a moment, and Concubine Xue Gui sneered at the right time: "Of course the empress is not crazy, and it is not the second prince who the empress wants to harm. Who is she trying to harm... We all know it well, but it's a pity that Bai Mi is one Shu, accidentally hitting and hurting my own child, haha...it's really interesting."

"Bitch shut up!" Empress Feng turned her head to look at Concubine Xue Gui, and scolded in a sharp voice, "In any case, I am still the empress, when will it be your turn to dictate?!"

Concubine Xue's eyes were red, and when she was about to refute, Qi Xiao said in a deep voice: "The empress is right, no matter what, the empress is the empress, and the dignity of the royal family must not be lost. All the lords have seen what happened today, everyone should be a witness , When the emperor wakes up in the future...I hope everyone will tell the truth, how to deal with it...it's up to the emperor."

Empress Feng collapsed on the Arhat couch and looked at Qi Xiao anxiously. Concubine Xue frowned and looked at Qi Xiao in puzzlement. Qi Xiao looked as usual and said slowly: "Before that, put the empress under house arrest first. In Fenghua Palace, what do you guys think?"

Everyone was afraid of offending Qi Xiao, and also afraid that the emperor would not be able to explain when he woke up. Qi Xiao's reasonableness hit their hearts, and they all nodded and said: "Very, very, this is the best."

Qi Xiao rubbed the life talisman on his waist lightly, and said lightly: "Then let's go." After saying that, he ignored everyone and walked away first.

Jiang Deqing was perplexed, but he didn't dare to say anything in front of these people, so he had to go out with him. After leaving Fenghua Palace, he couldn't help but said: "Your Highness! Why is this?! It's hard to catch Feng Hua. The queen's fault, why not..."

"Why not?" Qi Xiao turned to look at Jiang Deqing, "Kill her directly? I am the prince and she is the queen, did I kill her?"

Jiang Deqing was dumbfounded, and said again: "Then you can also force the princes to make decisions, and let the people in the clan decide whether to clean up the house or not!"

"No, I don't want it." Qi Xiao smiled cruelly, slamming every word, "I want her bitch to die by my own hands."

"Eunuch, don't worry, His Highness already has a plan in mind."

In the middle of the night, Bai Ren was dressed in ordinary clothes, sitting cross-legged on the couch quietly, slowly marking the documents sent by Lingnan, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness has always been a person with ideas, and I am the one who cannot be persuaded by others. ...some things don't work either."

Jiang Deqing was extremely anxious: "If the prince's words are useless, then...then no one can persuade you. The great opportunity is in front of you, and His Highness wants to let it go like this. This servant is going crazy!"

Bai Ren smiled and put down the jade pen, turned to look at Jiang Deqing and comforted him: "Eunuch, just rest assured, I have never seen His Highness miss any opportunity."

Jiang Deqing said "Hi", shook his head and said, "My lord, I don't know, Your Highness has been acting abnormally these past two days! When you are naturally nice, but behind people's backs...he often loses himself in a daze! Today is even more strange, You asked me to come back to serve the prince first, but His Highness stayed in the palace himself, it's so late, this... isn't this worrying?!"

A strange look flashed in Bai Ren's eyes, and he slowly said: "Eunuch, don't worry, if I'm not wrong...the matter of Empress Feng will come to an end tonight, father-in-law don't need to think too much, this matter...you must follow His Highness Come to the meaning."

In Fenghua Palace, Qi Xiao waited for Empress Feng after sitting in the main hall for a long time, but she hadn't seen her for two days, Empress Feng's complexion was completely lost, her face was unkempt, her eyes were sunken like an old woman's, all the palace servants in Fenghua Palace were imprisoned , no one was waiting, Qi Xiao just poured himself a cup of tea and said casually: "The empress is a thousand years old."

Empress Feng shook her shoulders and sneered, and hissed, "What's wrong with my son?! Have you been healed with all your heart?"

Qi Xiao looked at Empress Feng with a smile, and said for a while, "What do you think?"

"Bastard!" Empress Feng yelled angrily, "Do you still have half the humanity!! He is your uncle and brother no matter what! He is blood relative to you, so you treat him like this!!"

Qi Xiao couldn't help laughing: "This is interesting, my brother...haha...", the smile on Qi Xiao's face gradually faded, and he said coldly: "The emperor and my father are not more Are you brothers? Qi Hua and I are uncle brothers, but they are brothers from the same father, hehe... When we seized my throne and slaughtered my grandfather's family, did the emperor think that they are his brother's blood relatives?!"

Empress Feng was so frightened by Qi Xiao's utterance that she fell down on the chair, and tremblingly said for a while, "You really...know everything..."

Qi Xiao sneered: "Thanks to you, Qi Xiao never dares to forget what happened back then!"

Empress Feng slumped on the chair and said weakly: "I know you hate in your heart, but at the beginning I couldn't do anything about it, Your Majesty... Your Majesty wants to succeed to the throne, can I stop you? I thought about protecting your mother and your natal family life, but..."

"But you still sent a piece of white silk to my mother." Qi Xiao smiled sarcastically, "Then you told my mother...all the relatives think it is inappropriate for the queen to listen to the government behind the curtain. Misfortune, in order to avoid future disasters, I have to cut the mess quickly and make a quick end. If the queen wants to live, then please send the prince to the road. On the road to Huangquan, there is a prince. If you want to come to Daxing, the emperor will not be alone. If the queen loves the prince more , then ask the empress to sacrifice her life, and when the prince ascends the throne in the future, he will adopt the prince to his knees, and he will still be named the prince, and the throne will be passed on to him in the future."

Empress Feng opened her eyes wide and was speechless in horror, she said dumbly, "You...you..."

Under the palace lantern, Qi Xiao smiled piercingly: "Exactly word for word, right? My mother told me in a dream, do you believe it?"

Qi Xiao got up and walked towards Empress Feng. Empress Feng was so frightened that she fell to the ground and ran to the corner. Qi Xiao walked in slowly and forced Empress Feng to the corner. Empress Feng held her head and couldn't help crying: " Don't kill me, don't kill me..."

Qi Xiao smiled softly: "Don't be afraid, empress, I won't kill you." Upon hearing this, Empress Feng was stunned for a moment, looked up at Qi Xiao in a daze, and said in a trembling voice: "You...you won't kill me? "

Qi Xiao took out a white silk from his bosom, the white silk was fluttering, very beautiful, Empress Feng looked at Qi Xiao in puzzlement, Qi Xiao smiled lightly: "Go on your own, I will let the imperial doctor give it to Qi Hua If you treat him well, he will surely save his life, if you are afraid of death... that's fine."

Qi Xiao smiled treacherously: "But...Qi Hua's life is probably gone."

Empress Feng was stunned for a moment, and screamed in a piercing voice: "You actually used my son..."

With a "snap", Qi Xiao slapped Empress Feng's face with a slap, and said with a sneer, "Now do you know that I am inhuman?"

Qi Xiao slapped his backhand again, and roared sharply: "20 years ago!! How did you force my queen mother!! Ah?!!"

Qi Xiao threw the white silk to Empress Feng's face, and roared: "She was just 20 years old at that time! She just lost her husband!! How did you treat her?! How did you treat her?! How did you treat her? Waiting for her?!"

Qi Xiao seemed to be an Asura in the world, his eyes were full of murderous intent, Empress Feng made Qi Xiao unable to say a word with such a fierce aura, she tremblingly said for a long time: "You...you..."

It is rare for Qi Xiao to lose his composure like this, he took a short breath before recovering, closed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "I'll give you one night, you can think about it for yourself...if I haven't got you to commit suicide in fear of crime tomorrow morning... information……"

Qi Xiao smiled cruelly: "Then you will get the news that your son Yao Shi is not effective."

Empress Feng burst into tears and couldn't help shaking her head. Qi Xiao didn't want to say anything more to her, so she turned around and walked out. Unexpectedly, Empress Feng, who crawled over, grabbed the trousers before taking two steps, and Empress Feng lost her posture completely. , begging for mercy with trembling voice: "Don't kill us, I know what you want, I... I will help you, the emperor is already useless, I will kill him for you, then, then..."

Empress Feng swallowed her saliva, fearing that Qi Xiao would not listen to him, she hastily repeated the old master Feng's words: "Then I will arrange for you to succeed me, I... I am the empress, I can make you safe and sound. Your succession, okay? This will save you a lot of trouble, okay? Okay?"

Qi Xiao bowed｜came forward, fixedly looked at Empress Feng's trembling eyes, and smiled softly: "Who told you that I want to succeed smoothly?"

Empress Feng blinked suspiciously, and tremblingly said: "You...you...you want to usurp the throne?!"

Qi Xiao curled his lips into a smile, kicked Empress Feng away and walked out, Empress Feng cried twice and said sharply: "Wait a minute!!"

Qi Xiao turned his head: "What else do you want?"

Empress Feng knelt on the ground, her face was full of tears, she choked with sobs and said, "I...after my death...will you treat my son well?"

Qi Xiao sneered: "After my mother left, did you treat me well?"

Empress Feng was at a loss for words, and Qi Xiao smiled softly: "But if you don't die, I will definitely not spare him. Empress, do you have a choice? Don't worry, there is still one night, my mother's hardships... You taste it slowly."

Empress Feng gave up completely, she sat down on the ground slumped, and after a long silence, she hoarsely shouted: "Fate!!!"

Outside the main hall, Qi Xiao heard Empress Feng's roar and sarcastically smiled, and strode out of Fenghua Palace.

It was already midnight, Qi Xiao rubbed the center of his brows tiredly, helped the coachman who had been waiting outside the palace gate to get into the carriage, and ordered in a low voice: "Go..."

"Tai Temple." Bai Ren in the carriage raised his eyes and smiled gently at Qi Xiao, "Let Fuzi go ahead to clear the way, and don't let the people who check the curfew disturb His Highness."

Qi Xiao laughed: "How do you know I'm going to Taimiao? You...how did you come out?"

Bai Ren put down his hood, took a deep breath and slipped into Qi Xiao's arms, and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm worried."

Qi Xiao's eyes turned red in an instant, and after a while, he lowered his head and kissed Bai Ren's forehead, and said in a low voice, "Blame me, and make you worry again..."

Bai Ren shook his head, gently rubbed against Qi Xiao's arms, and whispered: "I want to go with you to burn incense sticks for Empress Xiaoxian."

Qi Xiao nodded: "Okay."
