Tianhuang nobleman

Chapter 109

No matter what the chaos outside, everything in the prince's mansion is as usual. When Qi Xiao sent Bairen back to the mansion, Jiang Deqing was waiting at the foot of the door of Waiyi. When he saw the two came back, he hurriedly greeted them. The old man had already heard that Empress Feng had hanged herself I was overjoyed by the news, and cried a lot after being overjoyed. At this moment, my cloudy old eyes were still red. Seeing Qi Xiao came back from the outside, I understood most of it, and said in a hoarse voice: "Your Highness... have you gone to the Taimiao?"

Qi Xiao smiled faintly, and Jiang Deqing wept: "When these things are settled, the old slave will also go to the Taimiao to kowtow a few times, finally, finally..."

No matter what, Qi Xiao has not yet succeeded to the throne, and Jiang Deqing dare not say some things, so he can only talk about business: "Several groups of people have come to the palace, and they are in a hurry to find His Highness, saying that there is no one in charge now. It's very chaotic, please Your Highness go and have a look quickly... Empress Feng is not leaving well, she always has to negotiate an explanation to give everyone an explanation, and the second prince is still unconscious, and no one can take care of it for a while He's dead, and everyone in the clan is very flustered, I beg Your Highness to go to the palace quickly to make a decision."

Qi Xiao nodded, and told Jiang Deqing to stay with Bai Ren, and transferred two more teams of his own guards to guard the mansion. After making arrangements, he brought people into the palace.

When Qi Xiao arrived, all the royal family and relatives had already arrived. Fenghua Palace was covered with black veils everywhere, and all the red candles on the candlesticks were replaced with white candles, because Fenghua, the palace servant of Empress Feng, was going to be thoroughly investigated. There were not many people left in the palace, and these white cloths and black gauzes made it even more miserable. Old Wang Chun couldn't get out of bed anymore, so naturally he still didn't come. Among the old princes, the old prince Hui is the one with the highest seniority and the most honorable status. , Everyone asked about everything, Old Master Hui, poor Old Master Hui, who has protected himself all his life, and refused to speak easily about everything, for fear of causing trouble. Seeing Qi Xiao approaching when he was at a loss, Old Prince Hui hurriedly greeted him as if he saw a savior: "The prince is finally here, have you heard about it? The queen..."

Qi Xiao nodded slightly as a salute, and said in a low voice: "I just heard about it, but I don't know the details, it's really...or is there something else hidden?"

Old Prince Hui's heart shuddered, is there another hidden secret?Everyone knows that Qi Xiao left the palace very late last night, and after hearing about it, he even went to the Taimiao. If there is a hidden secret, only Qi Xiao knows it best. Of course, Old Prince Hui is not stupid. I can only think to myself, Empress Feng has indeed hanged herself, even if someone forces her to strangle her, where will she go to find evidence?Even if there is evidence... Old Prince Hui wiped his sweaty brow. Now that the emperor is unconscious, Qi Xiao's ascension to the throne is imperative. What.

As soon as something happened, the palace sent someone to Feng's house to deliver a letter. I heard that old master Feng passed away immediately. Uncle Feng was very sad and anxious, and he was in a hurry to seek medical treatment. How could he go to the palace to ask , the old prince Hui felt sad, I'm afraid it's not that he can't find the time to come, because Queen Feng committed a catastrophe before leaving. The body is fake, and it is true to use this excuse to avoid disaster. The old prince Hui carefully glanced at Qi Xiao and looked at Qi Ran in his heart. If the Feng family really came into the palace, with this fierce god, I am afraid that they will never return. .

As the clan, Old Prince Hui really wants to uphold justice, but he wants to protect his family even more. Now the Feng family doesn't care about their own daughter, so why worry about it?And... Old Prince Hui looked at Qi Xiao's eyes that resembled Emperor Wu and sighed in his heart. Being in the royal family, how can there be any justice?Didn't Empress Feng have a good death? Didn't she have hidden feelings when Empress Xiaoxian left?

Everyone in the clan was looking at Old Prince Hui, who gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Zongling has already read it... nothing else, presumably...he committed suicide in fear of crime."

Qi Xiao agreed lightly, and said unhurriedly: "Now the emperor is still in a coma, it is inconvenient to arrange funerals, and everyone knows that the court is not safe now, why don't you... don't have a funeral, no The emperor's will, posthumous title, etc. can't be determined, how?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone looked at each other in dismay, and Qi Xiao lowered his eyes: "Otherwise... how about following the wishes of all the uncles and elders?"

Old Prince Hui didn't know what Qi Xiao was planning, but he had just said what he said, so he had no choice but to walk all the way to Hei, nodded hesitantly, Qi Xiao hummed, turned to the palace and said: "The princes have been tossing all night. I'm tired, arrange for everyone to go to my palace to rest, and let the imperial dining room prepare refreshments and serve them well, understand?"

Several county kings hurriedly thanked each other, but the hearts of the old princes tugged... What does Qi Xiao mean by this?Is it because he is afraid that someone will go to Chengqian Palace to report secretly, or... Or are they not allowed to leave the palace?

Qi Xiao understood what everyone was thinking, and said softly again: "The road is not easy to walk at night, the elders are all old, it may be inconvenient to go back now, if you are tired, just take a rest and wait until dawn... ...If there is nothing wrong, go back to the mansion."

Old Prince Hui breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "That's very good."

Qi Xiao laughed mockingly in his heart, he left everyone here just to be a witness, as for what to witness... Qi Xiao turned his head and asked Fuzi: "Is the imperial physician serving the second prince still there?"

Fuzi heard the words and quickly called a palace man to ask, but the palace man hesitated for a while and couldn't explain clearly. Fuzi raised his hand and gave him a slap, and the palace man plopped down on his knees and cried: "Go back to your highness... after nightfall Concubine Xue said that she had a headache and asked to call the imperial physician. In the middle of the night, the empress returned, and... where did she invite the imperial physician? Concubine Xue called the two imperial physicians who were serving the second prince, and only now has one of them been released. This, this place is very messy..."

Qi Xiao frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "Forget it, lead the way, I'll go to Zhaoyang Hall to have a look."

Before leaving, Qi Xiao called Xi Xiang, the chief of the House of Internal Affairs. Although Xi Xiang belonged to Qi Xiao, it was the first time for the two of them to talk in such broad daylight. Said: "Now that there is no mourning, then what should be done everywhere, the sky has not fallen yet, if anyone takes advantage of the opportunity to gain camp, or takes advantage of the chaos to make a difference, he will be re-issued immediately! To serve as a warning to others."

Xixiang bowed and agreed, Qi Xiao paused and said softly: "At this moment... it would be great if the emperor could wake up, so many things can only be handled with the emperor's order."

Xixiang's eyes flashed brightly, and he raised his head to look at Qi Xiao, Qi Xiao fixedly looked at Xixiang, and repeated as if he just sighed inadvertently: "It would be great if the emperor could wake up."

Xixiang understood in his heart, nodded and said: "His Royal Highness is purely filial. God knows, and will definitely let the emperor's dragon body return to normal."

It is convenient to talk to smart people, Qi Xiao smiled lightly and led everyone to Zhaoyang Hall.

Outside the Zhaoyang Hall, a big court lady was squatting on the ground guarding the medicine hanger and fanning the wind unceasingly. Everyone could smell the pungent smell of medicine from a distance. Fuzi frowned and scolded: "Damn thing! Where is it?" You can’t boil a bowl of medicine anymore, you have to stay on the vent! How many heads do you have to pay for choking His Highness the Crown Prince?!”

This maid is from Qihua Palace, and she is used to bullying other little palace maids and eunuchs. Even Fuzi and other little eunuchs have eaten her first place before. Where has she heard this before? After seeing Qi Xiao, he couldn't speak immediately, knelt down and kowtowed: "Damn you, damn you, it's too dark... There are not many lights, I really don't know that His Highness is coming, I really don't know... "

Qi Xiao had no intention of getting into trouble with the woman, he frowned and said in a low voice: "When the medicine is ready, bring it in..." After finishing speaking, he ignored her and went straight into Qi Hua's bedroom.

Qi Hua was the only one lying on the couch in the big dormitory, Qi Xiao walked in and took a look and sneered, his face was ashen... he was no different from a ghost.

I don't know if he heard the yelling outside or felt that someone was coming beside him, Qi Hua woke up not long after, Qi Xiao sat on the imperial concubine's couch beside him and said casually: "Are you awake?"

Qi Hua saw clearly that it was Qi Xiao who came and screamed in fright. Qi Xiao was impatient to hear him yelling, frowning and waving his hands, "Tell him to shut up..."

Fuzi was waiting for this sound, and immediately took out a handkerchief from his bosom, stepped forward and stuffed Qi Hua's mouth tightly, Qi Xiao looked at Qi Hua indifferently, sneered for a while, shook his head and said: " I really have nothing to say to you..."

Qi Hua looked at Qi Xiao in horror, Qi Xiao mocked lightly, "Forget it, since I'm here... I'll tell you a few words to make you understand..."

Qi Xiao's slender fingers lightly tapped the sour branch armrest on the imperial concubine's bed, and slowly said: "I won't mention what happened back then, you know it well, I know it has nothing to do with you..."

Qi Hua nodded hurriedly when he heard the words, and almost wagged his tail to beg for mercy. Qi Xiao sneered: "After all, it is mother and son, and at the last moment, they always have a face... Yes, it has nothing to do with you, so what? As Qi Jing's son, only This one is enough for me to kill you a hundred times."

Qi Xiao spoke softly, but Qi Hua was covered in cold sweat when he heard it. He was already poisoned and his body was extremely weak. Now seeing Qi Xiao was even weaker, as if he was going to die soon, Qi Xiao ignored him and continued to slow down. Slowly said: "But this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is..."

Qi Xiao looked at Qi Hua, Qi Hua opened his bloodshot eyes and looked at Qi Xiao nervously, Qi Xiao sneered: "The most important thing is... the year Bai Ren first came to the imperial city, because you were jealous of your aunt, you The Lord of Lingnan County gave it to me, so he blocked Bairen in the side hall of Chengqian Palace and insulted him wantonly, and finally hurt him!"

Qi Hua looked at Qi Xiao in disbelief, because Qi Xiao had let Bai Ren go before, and he had heard some rumors about Qi Xiao and Bai Ren, but it was just catching wind and shadows, after all, no one would believe that Qi Xiao would fall in love with someone just because he liked someone. Just bear this heinous crime, and now it looks...it's true!

Qi Hua couldn't help shaking his head, and there was a whining sound in his throat. Qi Xiao knew that he was begging for mercy, so he didn't even bother to listen, and continued: "I don't need to go into details about other things, you and I have done the same before. Don't pretend to be innocent if you have harmed anyone, it's just a winner and a loser, I came to you today just to tell you something..."

Qi Xiao approached and smiled at Qi Hua, and said softly, "I went to find your mother when it was night... and told her that if she kills herself obediently, I will spare your life, and if she doesn't come before dawn, Do it, and I will finish you off."

Qi Hua was stunned for a moment, and immediately struggled vigorously, his throat kept whining, Qi Xiao smiled cruelly: "Guess... is she obedient?"

Qi Hua's eyes were shattered, and he looked at Qi Xiao fiercely, as if he wanted to pounce on him, Qi Xiao shook his head and smiled: "You guessed it, or did you hear the movement outside just now? Empress Feng is dead. "

Qi Hua howled in pain, Fuzi could hardly restrain him, but Qi Xiao smiled more and more comfortably: "Don't worry, I know you don't want to part with Queen Feng...I'll send you on your way right away."

Hearing this, Qi Hua seemed to be locked in place by someone, and stopped moving all of a sudden, Qi Xiao mocked lightly: "Let his mouth go..."

Fuzi did as he did, and as soon as the veil was removed, Qi Hua yelled heart-piercingly: "Bastard!! My mother died as you said, and you still don't let me go! My mother has a spirit in heaven!" ,certainly……"

Qi Xiao interrupted Qi Hua with a slap, and said with a sneer, "What is it? I'm afraid of her?! I'm afraid it's her who is afraid now."

Qi Xiao's eyes were terrifying: "After seeing my father and queen mother on the road to the Yellow Springs, how should she explain?"

Qi Hua made Qi Xiao gasp in fright, shaking his body and hiding back, Qi Xiao took a step back with a sneer, and said in a serious tone: "The medicine outside should be ready, go and bring it... to send the second prince on the road."

Fuzi was stunned for a moment, but he still poured out the medicine from the medicine slinger outside and brought it in as he said. Several palace people who followed Qi Xiao also followed in. Qi Xiao said lightly: "The second prince just heard that the queen died. I'm so saddened by the news, and I refuse to take the medicine properly, you guys...know what to do, don't you?"

Everyone agreed, no matter how much Qi Hua screamed and fought, he stepped forward to subdue him and poured medicine. After Qi Xiao gave the order, he went out of the bedroom and waited quietly outside. After a while, the inside became quiet, and he followed Fuzi out. Complex complexion: "Your Highness... the second prince is dead..."

Qi Xiao said "um", and Fuzi was full of confusion: "The medicine was obviously prescribed by the imperial doctor, why..."

"He was scared to death by himself." Qi Xiao looked indifferently at the burning stove outside the hall, "I was already poisoned by the poison, but after hearing the news of Empress Feng's death, I thought Gu was really going to give him Poisoning... Hehe, if he was really drugged, and everyone came to investigate later, wouldn't Gu be unable to explain clearly?"

Fuzi understood instantly, shook his head and said with a smile, "Your Highness is planning!"

Qi Xiao quietly looked at the whitening sky and smiled faintly, Qi Hua also left, the next one was the emperor.
