Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 14 The Golden Elixir Is Poisonous

Looking at the dead parrot on the ground, everyone in the room fell into a daze.

Gao Ming was the first to react. He squatted down, then picked up the parrot by its feet, shook it twice in mid-air, and then nodded.

"Well, it is indeed dead!"

After finishing speaking, Gao Ming threw the dead parrot on the table and shook his head.

"This so-called golden elixir contains several heavy metal components such as lead, mercury, and copper. The toxicity is enough to cause an adult parrot to die of acute poisoning within a stick of incense. If people take it, they will be chronically poisoned. expected."

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Zhi suddenly exclaimed.

"Ah! Brother Huang, what do you mean... this golden elixir is poisonous?"

Seeing Li Zhi's unbelievable expression, Gao Ming snorted coldly.

"If the golden elixir is not poisonous, could it be that I strangled this parrot to death?"

As soon as Gao Ming's voice fell, Li Lizhi followed suit.

"Just now everyone was watching. The parrot died after eating the golden pill. It seems that what Brother Huang said is indeed correct."

At this time, Li Mingda, who was held in Gao Ming's arms, suddenly trembled all over, his big eyes were full of fear.

"Sizi doesn't want to die, Sizi is so scared, woo woo woo..."

As she spoke, tears flowed out in big drops. Gao Ming felt distressed for a while, and immediately hugged her even tighter.

"Sister, don't be afraid. Big Brother is here. Big Brother won't let you die. You have to trust Big Brother!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Mingda immediately hugged his neck tightly, crying even more sadly.

"Brother, woo woo woo woo..."

Li Mingda's crying seemed to bring out everyone's fear. Although Li Zhi who was standing aside tried his best to keep calm, his slightly trembling hands still exposed his inner fear.

Li Lizhi was also very scared. At this time, her face was a little pale. She pursed her lips and tightly grasped the quilt with both hands, trying her best to control her emotions.

At this time, Su Wan'er spoke.

"My lord, how do you know this?"

"Uh……"

As soon as Su Wan'er finished speaking, Gao Ming was stunned, because he couldn't possibly say that he was time-traveled, right?

At this time, Li Lizhi and Li Zhi also cast their gazes over, even the little girl Li Mingda who was crying sadly just now raised her head and looked at Gao Ming curiously.

Looking at everyone's puzzled eyes, Gao Ming suddenly had an idea, and a reason suddenly popped up in his mind.

"Actually, the reason why I know about this is mainly because of Qin Ying!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Su Wan'er frowned immediately.

"Qin Ying? Is that the Taoist priest who made alchemy for Lord Lang and was beheaded by the emperor later?"

As soon as Su Wan'er finished speaking, Gao Ming immediately nodded.

"That's right, it's that guy, but it's a pity that he was killed by the emperor before I found out the reason, alas..."

Speaking of this, Gao Ming directly changed the topic in order not to let them continue to entangle on this topic.

"Okay, let's not mention the irrelevant things in advance. The most important thing now is the Jindan matter that needs to be dealt with quickly."

As soon as Gao Ming finished speaking, Li Zhi immediately nodded indignantly.

"Brother Huang is right. These alchemists are so bold that they dare to plot evil. I'm going to report to my father and let him deal with these evil thieves severely!"

Having said that, Li Zhi bowed to Gao Ming and saluted.

"Brother Huang, the pheasant slave is one step ahead!"

Seeing his angry look, Gao Ming nodded with a smile.

"Well, go get it."

Looking at Li Zhi who hurried out, Gao Ming was secretly proud at this moment.

"Li Zhi is in the rebellious period right now, maybe he will make a big fuss about it. If he makes such a fuss, maybe Lao Li won't have time to deal with me!"

In fact, Gao Ming really thought too much, because Li Shimin didn't have time to pay attention to him at all.

At this time Li Shimin was sitting in the imperial study with a serious face, and three ministers stood below him, namely Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and Kong Yingda.

Seeing that the three of them were all here, Li Shimin nodded immediately, then took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Zhangsun Wuji.

"Auxiliary machine, this is an article written by the prince, take a look."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Changsun Wuji agreed, and took the rice paper from Li Shimin's hand, but he just took a look at it for the first time, and laughed out loud.

However, his reaction was also extremely fast, and he quickly covered it up with a cough.

"Cough cough cough...Your Majesty, my minister's eyes are swollen and painful today, brother Xuanling should read this article!"

After speaking, Changsun Wuji handed the rice paper to Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling went in without knowing it, so he nodded and took the rice paper, but his reaction was similar to Changsun Wuji's, he just took a look and then started coughing.

"Pfft...cough cough cough cough, Your Majesty, Master Kong is the Imperial Academy offering wine, and he is also the one who teaches His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I think it would be better for the Prince's articles to be read by Master Kong."

After speaking, Fang Xuanling handed the rice paper to Kong Yingda.

At this time, Kong Yingda also noticed that something was wrong between the two, but he also felt that what Fang Xuanling said was right, so he took the rice paper happily and read it out.

"My father's name is Li Shimin, and he is His Majesty the current emperor. He has a Chinese character face and a pair of protruding ears..."

When Kong Yingda read this, Li Shimin, who was sitting above, coughed vigorously.

"Cough cough cough..."

While coughing, he waved his hand at Kong Yingda.

"Kong Aiqing, what I want you to read is not the article itself, but the symbols on it!"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Kong Yingda was taken aback for a moment, and his face immediately became serious.

"Well, according to His Majesty, the old minister has also discovered that the dots of symbols on it seem to be used to break sentences."

As soon as Kong Yingda finished speaking, Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling immediately moved their heads together, and then the three of them started to discuss enthusiastically as if they had discovered a new continent.

"Tsk tsk...Brother Xuanling, look at this little dot with a tail, it should mean that the words are not finished, and this small circle, in my opinion, should mean that the words are over, it's really interesting!"

"That's right, for example, here, it is said that His Majesty's face is like a steamed bun that has been wiped with pot ashes. This should be the end of this sentence, not bad!"

"Extremely extreme, and here, it is said that His Majesty is like a pregnant tiger..."

Hearing these three ministers discussing fiercely, Li Shimin's face became darker and darker. At this moment, he regretted showing them this article.

However, if he took the article back at this time, he seemed to be suspected of covering it up. For a while, Li Shimin's face was full of embarrassment.

At this time, the eunuch's report suddenly sounded at the door.

"Report to Your Majesty, the King of Jin is begging to see you!"

Hearing this report, Li Shimin was immediately happy.

"This kid came just in time!"

Immediately, Li Shimin waved his hand.

"Let him in."

"Yes!"

When Changsun Wuji and the others heard Li Zhi coming, they also stopped discussing, and then stood aside. Seeing this scene, Li Shimin was secretly proud, and took a sip from his teacup.

But before Li Shimin put down the teacup, Li Zhi had already walked in quickly, and then knelt down on the ground with a "plop".

"Father, the golden elixir is poisonous!"

As soon as Li Zhi's words fell, the teacup in Li Shimin's hand fell to the ground with a "slap", showing shock on his face.

"What did you say?"
