Sword God Wine Ancestor

Chapter 545
"Who is it that killed the emperor!" The eldest prince Zhao Zheng's eyes showed a fierce look, which was very different from the previous kindness.

He was also in a hurry. Originally, Zao Wou-ki's poisoning was not his fault, but it did benefit him the most. However, he hadn't been happy for two days, and the situation suddenly took a sharp turn. Not only was it not good for him. , Unfortunately, there is still a lot of harm!
Li Chengji also understood the other party's mood. He thought that the other party had been thinking about how to deal with the government affairs for the past two days, but suddenly turned around, and he couldn't even stand up!

Li Chengji sighed secretly, shook his head slowly and said: "There is still no clue at all. The eunuchs and maids who might have touched that cup of tea before have been tortured and interrogated, but none of them did it at all. Now it is only It can be guessed that it was done by a certain prince, but it is impossible to know who it is."

The eldest prince Zhao Zheng gritted his teeth secretly. The current situation is all thanks to the person who poisoned him. Of course he hates him to the bone!After all, if there were no such incidents, he would still sit firmly in his position as the eldest prince, and he would still be the most likely person to inherit the throne!But now, the development of the situation is out of control.

Both of them were silent for a while, and suddenly a eunuch ran in in a panic, lay down on the ground and said, "Your Highness, Master Li, something is wrong!"

Li Chengji saw at a glance that this person was the little eunuch who went to his house late at night to look for him, and immediately knew that something might have happened to Zhao Wuji's side, and his expression changed: "What happened? Could it be that something happened to His Majesty?"

The little eunuch lay down on the ground and said: "It's about His Majesty's bedroom. Just now, the imperial palace went to His Majesty's bedroom. He insisted on seeing His Majesty, but the steward couldn't be sure to pay attention. That's why I asked the slaves to come and find His Majesty and Lord Li!"

Li Chengji and the eldest prince were temporarily relieved when they heard that Zhao Wuji had no accident. As for why the empress went to the bedroom, Li Chengji also had some guesses. It was nothing more than hearing the rumors and knowing that Zhao Wuji hadn't shown up in the past two days. , I had doubts in my heart, so I went to check.

The eldest prince looked at Li Chengji and said, "Lord Li, what should we do now?"

Li Chengji pondered for a moment, then sighed: "Your Highness, at this moment, the situation of His Majesty cannot be concealed any longer. In this case, it is better to make the matter public directly! In this case, the rumors will be self-defeating!"

The eldest prince nodded slowly, and said: "This is the only way to go now, but... I'm afraid that if we tell you, others won't believe it at all!"

Li Chengji said: "At least the palace must be stabilized first. As for what the outside says, that's up to them! Let the guards pay more attention. If anyone dares to make trouble, they will definitely be punished severely!"

The eldest prince Zhao Zheng had no other choice but to nod, Li Chengji said: "Now let's go to His Majesty's side to have a look."

The two of them didn't sit in the sedan chair, they walked quickly all the way, and soon arrived outside Zhao Wou-ki's bedroom, only to see two groups of people confronting each other.

Liang Xiuxian, the chief executive, stood on the steps outside the main hall, surrounded by guards raising their swords, but the faces of these people were full of fear and horror, and some of them even had trembling hands!

And the one who confronted Liang Xiuxian was a woman, a graceful and luxurious woman in palace attire!There was a phoenix hairpin in her high rolled up hair, facing the sword in front of her, she didn't have a trace of fear, on the contrary she was very disdainful, but those guards seemed to be unable to even hold the weapons in their hands steadily!
This is a well-maintained woman who looks only in her thirties. When she heard the movement, she turned around and looked, revealing a delicate face, but the majesty in her eyes made people dare not look directly at her.This woman is Shangguan Wan'er, the empress of the Wu Dynasty!
After all, Li Chengji was old, and he had never practiced martial arts, so he was out of breath after jogging this distance.

Empress Shangguan saw that it was the First Prince and Li Chengji who had come, and she immediately sneered and said, "So it is the First Prince and Lord Li, why, even you want to prevent me from seeing His Majesty? The queen of a country in my palace, and now I can't even see you." Have you lost your husband's rights?"

Hearing Queen Shangguan's questioning, Li Chengji immediately softened his knees, knelt down in front of the other party, and said, "May the empress make amends! Your Majesty will never dare to stop the empress, it's just that your Majesty's incident happened suddenly before, in order to avoid causing embarrassment." Necessary riots, the officials blocked the news without authorization."

The eldest prince on the side also bowed and saluted, and said: "Your Majesty, I just found out about this matter not too long ago. Mr. Li really did not hide it on purpose. He has already told his minister before that he is going to inform your Majesty."

His eldest son, Zhao Zheng, was not born to the current Empress Shangguan. Before Empress Shangguan, Zhao Wuji once had a queen, but later died of illness. The eldest prince was the son of that empress, after which Zhao Wuji established The current Queen Shangguan.

With the behavior of the two of them like this, Empress Shangguan couldn't say anything more. After all, one of the other party is the eldest prince and the other is the current prime minister. Even if she is the empress, she can't be too persuasive.

Empress Shangguan's expression softened a bit, but she still sneered and said, "Then I ask you, what is your Majesty's situation now? Is it as said outside, has been given by you..."

The eldest prince's complexion changed, and he quickly said: "Why did your mother say such a thing? No matter how beastly Zhao Zheng is, how could he do such a heartless thing! The rumors outside are all nonsense!"

"So His Majesty is all right?" Queen Shangguan asked lightly.

The eldest prince was a little hesitant, but Li Chengji who was on the side said: "Mrs. Hui, Your Majesty is indeed ill now, and he was indeed poisoned two nights ago."

Empress Shangguan's complexion changed: "What! Your Majesty is really poisoned? How is the situation now? Hurry up and let me get out of the way!"

Liang Xiuxian also had an anxious face before, of course he didn't dare to go against the queen, but he really couldn't make up his mind about Zhao Wuji's matter!After all the good words, Empress Shangguan still didn't listen, so he sent someone to invite the First Prince and Li Chengji.

Hearing this now, he naturally knew that he couldn't stop him, and quickly shouted in a shrill voice: "You idiots put away your weapons quickly! If you hurt the empress, you will die!"

As if they were pardoned, the guards hurriedly withdrew to both sides and knelt down on one knee. They wanted to withdraw a long time ago, why didn't you let them withdraw!Of course, they didn't dare to say this to Liang Xiuxian.

Empress Shangguan didn't have time to argue with this group of people at this time. Seeing people get out of the way, she lifted her skirt and ran forward. The maids and eunuchs behind her hurriedly followed. The eldest prince Liang Xiuxian and Li Chengji looked at each other and followed behind later.

When they arrived at the apse, through the screen, Empress Shangguan saw Zhao Wuji on the dragon bed, she finally didn't lose her mind completely, she stopped and shouted behind her: "You all go out first!"

Of course, this was said to the eunuch and maid who came with her, and the group of people quickly retreated out again.

After everyone left, Empress Shangguan threw herself in front of the dragon bed. Seeing Zhao Wuji's darkened face, she burst into tears and shouted tremblingly: "Your Majesty! What's wrong with you? Open your eyes and see Wan'er!"

After crying for a long time, Zhao Wuji on the dragon bed did not respond at all, but Empress Shangguan's emotions stabilized. She tidied up her appearance, stood up, crossed the screen, and went to the outside room. She took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, what the hell is going on now?" What's the situation? Tell me honestly!"

Liang Xiuxian knelt down on the ground with a slap, and cried, "Your Majesty! This matter is all due to the servant's incompetence, which is what caused His Majesty to have an accident!"

He talked about the situation of Zao Wou-ki's poisoning that night, and also told the judgment of Imperial Physician Fang, which can be said to be a complete confession.

Of course Empress Shangguan had never heard of the "Seven Herbs Devouring Heart Pill", but after Liang Xiuxian's description, she also knew that it was an extremely powerful poison. Is there a solution? Has the poisoner ever been caught?"

This time it was Li Chengji who answered, "Mrs. Fang, Imperial Physician Fang has found a way to cure the poison, but it will take time, at least a few months. As for the poisoner...has not been found yet."

Seeing that Empress Shangguan's expression was still ugly, Li Chengji said hastily: "However, Xiaguan has already sent someone to invite Li Nong Li Guzhu from the 'Yiwang Valley'. Maybe Li Guzhu has a better way to detoxify."

Empress Shangguan finally knew what was going on. As for what Li Seungji said, she could only believe it now, but he felt that Li Seungji and Liang Xiuxian would not lie. After all, she also knew that these two people were indeed loyal to Zhao Wouji .

Empress Shangguan's face softened a little, and then asked: "Then what are the rumors outside the palace?"

The eldest prince Zhao Zheng said: "Those are all rumors! Someone deliberately framed my son! And the person who spread the rumors should be the person who poisoned! His intentions are too vicious! That person's plan is probably the Palace of Hope. Here, and the whole world is in chaos!"

The implication is also obvious, that is to say, we can't mess ourselves up first.

Empress Shangguan is also a smart person, of course she also knows that chaos cannot be allowed now, and chaos will not benefit her at all. After all, she only has one son, who is the eleventh prince. It's too young, if the world is really in chaos, it won't do any good to their mother and child.

Empress Shangguan sighed and said: "My palace is also clear about the matter, we must not fulfill the thief's wish! Sir Li, and Your Highness the First Prince, do you have any countermeasures?"

Li Chengji and the eldest prince looked at each other, and Li Chengji said: "Mrs. Hui, things have not become chaotic yet, and the reason why it is chaotic is because everyone is not clear about His Majesty's current situation. Make the situation public! Then the rumors will naturally be self-defeating."
