Chapter 538
On the way back to Lu's mansion, Su Bai's mind was still a little confused. What happened tonight was far beyond his expectations. Before coming here, Old Man Lu had told him that passing this sentence would bring him closer to the Fifth Prince Zhao. Yan Yan, but Su Bai never imagined that he would now be sworn brothers with the Fifth Prince Zhao Yan!

It's not that he regretted it, but that he was completely unprepared, and just sworn sworn vows with a prince!Moreover, he will be involved in the battle of the royal family in the future, and he can no longer imagine what the future will be like. Su Bai suddenly feels that his life is starting to develop in an unpredictable direction!
After returning to the Lu Mansion, Su Bai thought that Mr. Lu should rest at this time, and planned to report to the other party tomorrow, but he didn't want the housekeeper to wait in the concierge. When he saw him coming back, he smiled and said, "Master Su, the master has been waiting for you for a long time. , let you go see him as soon as you come back."

Su Bai's face changed. He told the fifth prince Zhao Yan to come back to meet Mr. Lu, but it was just an excuse. Now Mr. Lu is really waiting for him!It seems that this matter is also very important to Mr. Lu, he attaches great importance to the attitude of the fifth prince Zhao Yan!

Su Bai nodded directly and said, "Lead the way ahead."

In the same small courtyard, old man Lu was lying on the recliner, covered with a tiger skin blanket, as if he had fallen asleep, Su Bai did not hide the sound of his footsteps, and followed the butler into the small courtyard one after another.

The housekeeper respectfully said: "Master, Mr. Su is back."

"Well, I see, you go down." Mr. Lu waved his hand, picked up the teacup on the small table and took a sip, then opened his eyes to look at Su Bai, and said with a smile: "Boy Su, there is some tea tonight. What harvest?"

Su Bai was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I just pass on a message for the old man, what can I gain?"

Mr. Lu smiled noncommittally, did not continue to ask, and said with a serious face: "Then let's talk about it, what is the attitude of His Highness the Fifth Prince?"

Su Bai didn't hide anything, and said with a serious face: "The fifth prince made it clear that he will be honest during this period of time and will not do anything out of the ordinary. Please rest assured, old man!"

When Old Master Lu heard this, he smiled and said, "Well, His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince is still sensible, that's enough, you did a good job on this matter, Mr. Su! It's so late, go to rest early."

Su Baigong said: "The old man also needs to pay attention to his health, staying up late is not good for his health."

Mr. Lu smiled wryly and said, "I'm born to be busy! I'm going to court in a few hours. I'm afraid I won't be able to rest well today. I need to report the results to His Majesty as soon as possible."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, signaling Su Bai to step down. Su Bai still instinctively didn't want to know more about the affairs of the officialdom and the court, so he didn't say anything more. He bowed and went back to his yard to rest.

In the next few days, the bustling and bustling city of Shangjing remains unchanged from before, but those who are interested will find that there are still some changes in the city.

The children of the royal family have been much quieter during this period of time, and each of them has become a lady of the big family!There is nothing that will not go out easily!Even some sons of officials and eunuchs, well-known dandies in the capital, have restrained themselves during this period of time, and they dare not act recklessly like before, as if there is a lion waking up from a deep sleep above everyone's head. At this time, the only thing waiting for him is death!
As for the battle in the south, it has been going on for nearly two months now. Since General Ji suffered a big loss last time, he has become more and more cautious, so the attack has not improved much, and the two sides have become stalemate!But this contradicted Emperor Zhao Wuji's idea of ​​quickly suppressing the rebellion, so Zhao Wuji ordered General Ji to attack several times, and the second prince was wiped out as soon as possible!
The general is not accepted by the emperor's order. Old General Ji always respectfully sends a message back, expressing that he will try to win the second prince, but the army has not moved for a long time. It is not because he deliberately disobeyed the emperor's order, but because of the situation in the south. Wuji doesn't know at all!
Although there are millions of troops, there are only less than 80 left. The strength of the army seems to be far superior to that of the second prince, but the strength of the second prince is not weak. If you really fight hard, even if you can fight Winning is a tragic victory. These soldiers are all the elite troops of General Ji. How could he allow such a fearless sacrifice!
As a result, Emperor Zhao Wuji's mood became even worse. These days, there were already two eunuchs and maids who were executed for making a small mistake!The entire palace became trembling, for fear that he would make a mistake and be beheaded!
The emperor was not happy, and the ministers couldn't even think about it. Every day, there seemed to be a dark cloud covering the court hall, so that everyone didn't even dare to breathe, and they only hoped that they would go to court as soon as possible.

In the middle of the night, in the palace, the south study room was brightly lit, the eyes of the eunuchs and maids stared like copper bells, as long as the emperor coughed, someone had to come and serve him!
In front of the sandalwood table, there was a tall man wearing a bright yellow dragon robe. This man had a big arm and a round waist, and his back was straight. He stood there like a mountain, making people dare not look directly at him. The eyes are deep, the facial features are three-dimensional, without a trace of wrinkles, if the eyes are not a bit vicissitudes, I would think that this is a young man in his 30s and [-]s!

This man is the Lord of the World, Emperor Zhao Wuji of the Wu Dynasty!Zao Wou-ki is nearly 60 years old this year, the reason why he looks like this has a lot to do with his breakthrough to the innate realm besides the good maintenance.

At this moment, he is staring at a map of mountains and rivers. This map has vast mountains and rivers and beautiful scenery. It is a geographical map of the Wu Dynasty. He has stood in front of this map for a long time, and he doesn't know what he is looking at. With such a picture, can you still see the flowers?
"Your Majesty, it's late at night, it's time for you to rest."

Suddenly a shrill voice sounded behind Zhao Wuji. This is an old white-haired eunuch. The old eunuch was dressed in the costume of a supervisor, bowing his head respectfully. crow's feet.

This is Liang Xiuxian, the chief eunuch of the palace, he is the only one in the palace who can talk to Zhao Wuji like this.

Zhao Wuji turned around, glanced over the faces of the eunuchs and maids outside, and said with a cold snort, "They are all acting here! Who are you doing it for? Are you doing it for me!"

When the eunuch and maid heard this, her face turned pale with fright, and she knelt down on the ground in unison, her body trembling like chaff.

Chief Manager Liang Xiuxian accompanied him with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, why do you have to be as knowledgeable as these slaves."

"Humph!"

Zhao Wou-ki snorted coldly, picked up the tea that was brought before, and took a sip, the tea was already cold, he didn't care about it, he put it on the table after drinking, and said: "Okay, go back and rest, I'm tired too."

As he spoke, he raised his feet and walked towards the South Study Room, but before reaching the door, Zhao Wou-ki's face suddenly changed, his footsteps staggered, and he almost fell to the ground, one hand tightly covering his heart, and his body slowly fell to the ground.

Liang Xiuxian's expression changed drastically behind him, he quickly supported Zhao Wuji, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Don't scare the servant!"

In a short while, Zhao Wuji's face was covered with a layer of black, his lips were slightly purple, Liang Xiuxian was startled, he was poisoned!

"poisonous!"

Zhao Wuji gritted his teeth fiercely, sat cross-legged with the help of Liang Xiuxian, and used his kung fu to fight against the poison in his body. Liang Xiuxian suddenly raised his head and said, "Quickly go to the imperial physician! Do you want to die!"

A eunuch kneeling on the ground was very clever. Hearing this, he quickly got up and ran outside.

Liang Xiuxian was sweating on his forehead in a hurry. He watched Zhao Wuji who was fighting against the poison, but he couldn't help him at all. After all, Zhao Wuji's inner strength and mind method were very special. It caused bad consequences, and looking at Zhao Wuji's appearance now, the poison is very violent. Zhao Wuji can become a congenital master, his body has been baptized with vitality, and his quality is much stronger than ordinary people. Suppress this poison.

Liang Xiuxian's face was gloomy, his eyes swept away, and he saw the teacup on the table, he had a good memory, Zao Wou-ki was fine before, he just took a sip of tea, and within a minute he was poisoned, obviously the problem lies in In this tea!
He walked to the table, carefully picked up the teacup, put it under his nostrils and sniffed it lightly, he could smell a faint fragrance, how could the tea for the emperor be ordinary!
But apart from the fragrance of tea, there is no other smell. Although Liang Xiuxian knew it before, even Zao Wou-ki didn't notice it before. Obviously, this poison is a colorless, odorless and highly poisonous, but he still doesn't give up. .

Liang Xiuxian carefully put down the teacup, and it will still be useful for later inspections. What he can't figure out now is, how did the poison get in?You must know that he personally brought this cup of tea, and he also watched the process of making tea with his own eyes. There was no problem at all. Who was it, and when did it poison it?

Of course, it is impossible for him to poison. Although he is the most suspected right now, Liang Xiuxian is not too worried. After all, he has been with Zhao Wou-ki for decades, and his relationship is not normal. Zhao Wou-ki suspects that no one will doubt it. his.

Here Liang Xiuxian is still thinking about who injected the poison, while Zao Wou-ki, who was fighting against the poison, suddenly trembled, opened his mouth, spewed out a mouthful of blood, and fell straight to one side.

"His Majesty!"

Liang Xiuxian's complexion changed, and he quickly embraced Zao Wou-ki in his arms, only to see that Zhao Wou-ki hadn't improved at all, anyway, his face was getting darker and darker, and looking at the blood on the ground, it was also bright red and exuded a stench, which was obvious It's not like forcing the poison out.

"How are you, Your Majesty? Don't scare the servants! The imperial doctor! Where is the imperial doctor!"

Liang Xiuxian yelled anxiously.

Zhao Wou-ki held Liang Xiuxian's arm tightly, and seemed to want to say something, but he couldn't speak.
