Chapter 239 The Emperor's Temptation

"Saving someone's life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, benefactor, this is my fate with the Prime Minister, and it is also his fate."

The honest monk spoke indifferently, monks have long been used to looking down on everything, and he was happy because he was able to help the Lou family.

Li Jing patted Lou Yiyang on the shoulder, "During this period of time, you have to take care of your home, the capital is going to be very peaceful."

Li Jing was a little skeptical, did people from Haoyue Kingdom really do this?

He always had a feeling that the Crown Prince of Haoyue Kingdom couldn't be that stupid, he came here in person, even if he wanted to get the gold mine, he wouldn't do such a thing at this time.

A look of worry flashed in Li Jing's eyes, he was afraid that someone was kneeling at such a time to create chaos.

At this moment, the butler of Xiangfu came to report.

"Young master, the crown prince of Haoyue Kingdom is here."

Lou Yiyang didn't expect him to come at this time, but the visitor was a guest, so he asked the butler to invite him in.

The crown prince of Haoyue Kingdom and the envoys came, "I heard that the prime minister was poisoned, so I specially brought a millennium plant and Ganoderma lucidum here to replenish the prime minister's body."

Following his words, the envoy handed over the ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum to the housekeeper.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for thinking about my father." Lou Yiyang thanked him gratefully. He wanted to refuse sharply, but after receiving Li Jing's gaze, he suddenly changed his attitude.

The Crown Prince of Haoyue Kingdom did not stay for long, after confirming that Prime Minister Lou was fine, he comforted Lou Yiyang a few words, and then left.

From the beginning to the end, there was no abnormality for half a day, so Li Jing was more sure of the guess in his heart.

Most of the things this time are caused by one's own people.

"Why did you stop me just now?"

Lou Yiyang questioned Li Jing, perhaps because he was worried about Prime Minister Lou, when he spoke to Li Jing, his tone was particularly aggressive.

"The prime minister was poisoned, he did what was missing."

Li Jing spoke out the speculation in his heart, Lou Yiyang couldn't calm down at all, his head was full of angry flames, and he didn't know where to vent it.

Li Jing could understand his mood and looked into his eyes seriously.

"This king will give you a satisfactory explanation."

After Li Jing left a sentence, he turned and left. Lou Yiyang didn't understand what he was going to do, but he believed Li Jing's words, and patiently waited for his answer.

Liu Yanbo and the others also left when they saw the time to go to court.

After the morning court, Li Jing went directly to the Qichen Hall, saw the blue and black eyes covering the emperor's eyes, and asked indifferently.

"Father, you can't sleep all night because of Prime Minister Lou's affairs?"

The emperor sighed helplessly, and signaled Li Jing to follow him to the side hall to talk.

The father and son sat down on the arhat bed, which was a little bit out of the way. The emperor just sat down and asked.

"I heard from the imperial physician that Prime Minister Lou's poison was cured, why did he suddenly become poisoned? Yesterday he left the Qichen Palace and he was fine."

The emperor couldn't understand it, Li Jing asked the attendants next to Prime Minister Lou yesterday, which can prove that the emperor's words are not false.

Prime Minister Lou was poisoned on his way home, and the short-lived poison is very domineering, from being poisoned to onset in just an instant, the red crest of the crane will leave time for people to say their last words when the blood seals their throats, but the short-lived one does not give people a chance at all .

Therefore, it is called such a name.

"How does my son feel about this?"

The emperor asked Li Jing, his eyes were full of tiredness, even if there was no such thing as Prime Minister Lou, his body was already very tired.

I obviously fell asleep at night, but the more I slept, the more tired I became, and my body always felt like it was about to collapse.

Now that I haven't closed my eyes all night, the feeling of fatigue is even stronger.

"The prince of Haoyue Kingdom is much less suspicious than our own people."

Li Jing directly explained that the emperor nodded, and he thought so too.

"What are your plans?"

When the emperor spoke, he was holding on, as if he was about to fall asleep in the next second, but he couldn't recover from sleep, it would only make his body more tired.

"Father, do you feel that you are unwell? Why don't you pass the honest monk to the palace to treat you."

After Li Moqun was stabbed, plus Prime Minister Lou this time, he didn't believe in the imperial doctor's medical skills at all.

On the contrary, the honest monk made him more trustworthy.

The emperor waved his hand, "It's okay, I'm just too tired. I'll leave it to you now. Prime Minister Lou will help me loyally. My son will definitely find out the truth. Don't let the old minister feel cold."

The emperor explained, saying that in the end, his voice became smaller and smaller, and finally he fell asleep while sitting there with his head on one hand.

Li Jing frowned and summoned the chief eunuch. After the two carefully supported the emperor to lie down, Li Jing signaled the chief eunuch to follow him out.

In the main hall, Li Jing looked at the inner hall where the emperor was, with a flash of worry in his eyes, and asked the chief eunuch.

"What kind of troubles have you encountered recently? Why do you look so tired?"

Even if a person is too tired to die, he will not fall asleep after saying this.

The chief eunuch reported truthfully, "Fourth prince, you don't know something. The emperor came in and went to sleep very early. You have to worry about the affairs of the court, so the emperor gave him a lot of heart. The old slave is also very strange about the matter. Why did he suddenly act like that?" tired."

Li Jing noticed the seriousness of the matter, and looked at the chief eunuch with a solemn expression and said.

"Father, you should pay special attention to your diet."

Li Jing checked the Qichen Hall all over, and left after confirming that there were no problems.

Not long after he left, the emperor slowly sat up from the bed and called the chief eunuch in.

The chief eunuch sighed helplessly, "Your Majesty, the fourth prince really cares about your safety, why do you want to test it like this?"

A look of confusion flashed in the emperor's eyes. Li Jing was indeed better than the other princes in all aspects. He was also shaken when he came in. Should he pass the throne to a capable person, or should he still choose the prince.

"His ambitions are clear."

Even though the emperor hesitated, his heart still favored the prince. He was worried that Li Jing would not be able to accommodate the prince if he took the position.

The chief eunuch is not talking anymore, after all, sometimes talking too much will cost you your life.

In this sensitive period, the chief eunuch knows very well that he can't say too much, if the emperor finds out that he is suspected of being partisan, he will be the one who will be unlucky.

The emperor waved his hand, and the chief eunuch went out.

The emperor lay down tired, his mental and physical exhaustion was real, but just now he suddenly wanted to test Li Jing.

To be honest, Li Jing did not disappoint him. After the emperor stopped, he fell asleep almost as soon as his head touched the pillow.

On the other side, Duke Liu's Mansion
When Cui Yuexi woke up in the morning, she received a letter. After she opened it and read it, she couldn't help but smile mockingly.

Some people finally couldn't sit still, since the other party invited, she couldn't refute the other party's face.

She put away the letter and asked Banana and Hongxing to dress her up.

Li Jing didn't come back during breakfast, after the meal, Cui Yuexi left a letter for Li Jing and went out.
