Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 790 Crazy
Looking at the bowl of ginseng soup, Yan Mu just wanted to laugh for some reason.

He'll just watch him drink the soup and it'll be over.His father's revenge was avenged, he was freed, and the damned man finally died.

"Yang He made the entire Yanzhou a mess. After Li Huai took office, he found that the local officials were all suspected of corruption, and they were covering each other. Even the account of the tax money handed over to the court was wrong." The emperor said with a frown. Then, seeing the end, he was so angry that he slapped the memorial on the table, "The year before last, the imperial court sent troops to suppress the riots in Nanzhou. The grain harvest was poor, and not only could not afford the money, but he had to ask the court for relief. Li Huai found out that the grain harvest in Yanzhou was abundant, and the people paid enough grain taxes, but the tax money was embezzled by Yang He and the officials below. !"

The emperor said angrily, Yan Mu was the only one in the room, so naturally he was speaking for him.It's just that Yan Mu is also a suspect in Yang He's corruption case, so it might be inappropriate to discuss it with him.

After the emperor finished speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Yan Mu.

"what do you say?"

"My son is inconvenient to say anything."

The emperor took a deep breath, "Speak, I want to hear what you have to say."

Yan Mu changed his mind and said, "Yanzhou is like a room that is airtight everywhere. It seems that there are many secrets hidden in it, but outsiders can't see one or two, including Li Huai. You may not have entered this room."

"It seems that someone has to go to Yanzhou to knock on this door."

"Yes."

"Who can I send?"

Yan Mu lowered his eyes and stopped talking. There was serious factionalism in the imperial court. As long as someone who was not his was sent, he would only be hammered to death for the crime.Although the emperor is stupid, but his eyes are not blind, he can see, let's see if he can protect him or not.

"There are still a few books that refer to you, saying that your Zhenbei Army has been frequently mobilized recently, with [-] troops guarding Youzhou, but such a large military mobilization has not been reported to the court." The emperor said coldly.

"Suppressing the northern army is normally mobilized, some people make a fuss over a molehill." Yan Mu said.

"Oh?"

"If there is any change, General Xiao Mengxiao, the governor of Youzhou, will be the first to play Shen Erchen."

Hearing this, the emperor withdrew his gaze and did not pursue further.

"Father, the ginseng soup sent by the empress is almost cold." Yan Mu said with a cold light in his eyes.

The emperor stretched his waist, pushed aside the pile of memorials in front of him, and then passed the bowl of ginseng soup.

Yan Mu watched him pick it up, watched him put it to his mouth, watched him take a breath, and was about to drink it... His heart was beating, and a surge of excitement went from bottom to top, straight to his forehead.

drink drink drink drink...

Then the next moment, the emperor looked up at him.

"You should drink too."

Yan Mu lowered his head, restraining the restlessness in his heart, and picked up a bowl of ginseng soup in front of him.At this moment, he suddenly hesitated, could this bowl of ginseng soup be poisonous...

If it was him, since he had taken this step, he might as well be more straightforward.

"Drink!" The emperor urged.

Yan Mu raised his head to look at the emperor. At this moment, his face was distorted and became terrifying. He urged him to drink this bowl of soup over and over again, like a spell.

Take a gamble, it's not death.

Thinking of this, he was a little excited, as if some kind of madness that had been suppressed was breaking out of the cage.And the bowl of ginseng soup in front of him, he seemed to smell the breath of death, it was so alluring.

His mind was empty, his heart was full of only this bowl of soup, and his whole body was in a illusory state, as if as long as he drank this bowl of soup, he would be able to escape from his mortal body and ascend to the ascension.

Just as he was about to drink, someone rushed in and knocked the bowl out of his hand.

With a snap, he suddenly woke up from his madness.He looked up at the person who came, it was Shangguan Xu, he stared at him with wide eyes, his face was full of anger.

"Shangguan Xu, what are you doing!" the emperor shouted.

Shangguan Xu took a deep breath, then turned to look at the emperor, "Your Majesty, this soup is not drinkable, it is poisonous!"

"Poisonous?" The emperor hurriedly put down the bowl in his hand, and even pushed the stool back a little in fear, "This soup was sent by the empress, so don't talk nonsense."

"Yes, the ginseng soup sent by the empress is for the father and my highness to nourish their bodies." Yan Mu said, leaning against the back of the chair behind him, his face was calm, but no one saw his two hands under the table. His legs were trembling, and his hands hidden under the sleeves were as cold as ice.

He knew that if Shangguan Xu hadn't come in time, he would have already drank that bowl of soup.

At that moment, he was actually crazy.

Seeing Yan Mu's appearance, Shangguan Xu knew that he had returned to normal, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Even if you give me 1 courage, I won't dare to talk nonsense."

It turned out that he saw a maidservant sneaking around in the yard just now, and he felt suspicious, so he let the guards arrest her.The maid was very panicked, and quickly confessed the truth under pressure.

"The slave didn't dare to delay, and rushed in as soon as he heard this. Fortunately, the emperor and His Highness haven't had a drink yet."

Hearing this, the emperor looked at the bowl of ginseng soup on the table, narrowed his eyes, "You can't declare this matter, you should go to the imperial hospital to find someone, find a few more imperial physicians, and let them examine it."

"Yes."

Shangguan Xu hurriedly went out to make arrangements, Yan Mu got up after a while, poured a cup of tea, and brought it to the emperor.

"Father, maybe it's a misunderstanding. The Empress loves and respects Father. How could she poison you? She is also very kind to my son and minister, and she will definitely not poison my son." Yan Mu said.

The emperor took the cup of tea and took a few sips to suppress his shock.

"Whether there is poison or not, you will know if you test it."

Yan Mu smiled and said: "If the Lord Supervisor hadn't come in, the minister would have already drank that bowl of soup, whether it is poisonous or not, we will know now."

"Nonsense, thank goodness you didn't drink."

Yan Mu lowered his eyes and smiled, it was indeed because he didn't drink.If this bowl of soup was poisonous, he would have died right now. If this bowl of soup was not poisonous, he would not be able to tell if the emperor's bowl was found to be poisonous later. After all, the empress should hate him more than the emperor.

He had also thought of this and thought of countermeasures, but at that moment he lost his mind.

Soon Shangguan Xu brought several imperial physicians, including Zhou Lihuai.He glanced at Yan Mu and felt relieved to see that he was doing well.

The bowl of ginseng soup on the ground was spilled clean, and it was impossible to verify whether it was poisonous. The emperor's bowl had not been touched, and several people took turns to check it, and finally came to the same result.

"Your Majesty, this bowl of ginseng soup is indeed poisonous, and it is extremely poisonous."

The emperor's eyes widened, his pupils were trembling, his face turned ashen when he heard the imperial doctor say this, and then he asked someone to feed this bowl of ginseng soup to the dog.Not long after, the guard came to report that the dog died of poison after feeding the ginseng soup to the dog.

The emperor sat down on the chair with an extremely cold expression. He slapped the table, "I love her so much, she wants to poison me! Someone, tie her up and send her to the criminal justice department. Interrogate her!"
