The eldest prince sighed, "Fifth brother, the elder brother wants to go to Xingyue to suffer in your place, but the emperor is incompetent..."

"The Fifth Prince said that because he was sure that His Royal Highness can't go to Xingyue!"

"His Majesty the Fifth Prince took heart and soul out of his heart, and the Fifth Prince became aggressive instead."

"..."

The officials' discussions were not whispered, and they all fell into Ji Lingxiu's ears.

A cold air spread from the soles of his feet to his back, and Ji Lingxiu felt chills all over his body, while the anger accumulated in his chest grew stronger and stronger.

Why do they say that about him? !

They are all a bunch of flattering villains!
Ji Lingxiu couldn't bear it anymore, just when he was about to open his mouth, he suddenly let out a cry.

"The Empress has fainted!"

Empress!

Ji Lingxiu looked up at his mother's position, and there was already a mess there.

The palace maids surrounded the queen with a flustered expression, while the Emperor Liuyun beside him had an extremely ugly expression on his face.

Ji Lingxiu heard the word "bad luck" from his mouth, and waved his sleeves away in the blink of an eye.

Only his mother was left unconscious on it.

"Your Highness Fifth!"

"Your Highness Fifth! What should we do now?!"

The maid beside the queen mother couldn't find anyone to help, so she had to drag Ji Lingxiu up.

Ji Lingxiu finally came back to his senses when his eyes fell on the pale and colorless face of his mother.

"Call the doctor!"

After asking for help everywhere, he finally found an imperial doctor who was willing to treat his mother. Ji Lingxiu led the people towards his mother's palace without stopping.

Seeing, hearing, asking, and taking four steps down, the imperial doctor's face was extremely serious.

Ji Lingxiu had an ominous premonition.

"Fifth prince, the queen is poisoned!" Without any foreshadowing, the imperial doctor directly gave the result.

Ji Lingxiu couldn't believe his ears, he looked at the imperial physician and repeated, "Poisoned?"

"Just judging from the symptoms, it's true that it's poisoning." The imperial doctor used silver needles to force out a little toxin, but the symptoms were not cured. "If the fifth prince can find the source of the toxin, I can prepare the antidote."

"As soon as possible, the empress's body..."

Ji Lingxiu understood the imperial physician's words.

The mother's health has always been poor, and the toxins have destroyed her. Over time, even if the poison is detoxified, it will be difficult to nurse her back.

But the source of the toxin, where would he come from...

Wait!
Ji Lingxiu suddenly remembered something.

The celebration banquet was presided over by the eldest prince, and the food was also organized by the other party. Only the eldest prince had the opportunity to poison.

At the banquet, Ji Lingxiu saw his mother eating a piece of pastry...

This is the first prince's warning to him.

After sending away the imperial doctor, Ji Lingxiu placed a small bed in his mother's harem and took care of his mother without clothes every day.

But as the imperial doctor said, there is no antidote, even if the silver needle is pricked many times, it will not be complete.

"Mother, do you blame me?" Ji Lingxiu felt extremely sad.

He was lying beside his mother's bed, and he was a whole lot thinner than when he was Xingyue.

But the light called hatred in his eyes is getting brighter and brighter.

Ji Lingxiu went to find the eldest prince.

His shoulders were no longer straight, and his voice was dull, "I beg the eldest brother to let my mother go."

"What will the fifth brother say?" The eldest prince pretended to be surprised, and the smile on his face increased instead of diminishing, "What does your mother's accident have anything to do with me? Does the fifth brother want to rely on me?"

"Brother Emperor, please, give me the antidote." Ji Lingxiu clenched his back teeth.

Seeing him like this, the eldest prince smiled sarcastically.

"A dog that crawls back from the stars and moon has no education at all."

The clan prince who was passing by heard this and glanced at the eldest prince with a frown.

The eldest prince scoffed at him, "Why, do you want to speak for this dog?"

"If you don't, hurry up and get out, don't get in the way here!"

The clan son did not expect the eldest prince to be so irritable, so he shook his head and left.

The eldest prince turned his head and said with contempt in his tone, "See, Ji Lingxiu, with me around, no one will speak for you."

some.

Zhao Zhao will stand by his side.

Ji Lingxiu thought in his heart, now only Gu Zhaozhao can support him from falling.

Seeing that he still couldn't be defeated, the eldest prince narrowed his eyes and suddenly thought of a good idea.

He flexed his fingers, like barking a dog.

"Ji Lingxiu, I'll give you a chance." The eldest prince pointed between his legs, "Get under my crotch and I'll consider what you said."

Ji Lingxiu closed his eyes.

He told himself that there was nothing else he could do.

The sense of humiliation increased with the sound of clothes rubbing against the ground, and Ji Lingxiu bit his lower lip.

Just as he knelt down and was about to climb, the First Prince suddenly stopped him.

"I regret it."

"Ji Lingxiu, you really are shameless."

To the current Ji Lingxiu, face is not as precious as a detoxification pill.

But the eldest prince was very unhappy. He knelt down and patted Ji Lingxiu's face, saying with unclear meaning: "Ji Lingxiu, are you so obedient? Do you agree to whatever I ask you to do?"

"As long as Brother Dahuang gives me the antidote."

With a "tsk", the eldest prince stood up and looked down at Ji Lingxiu.

"In that case, just do something for me. If you do it well, I'll be in a good mood, and maybe I'll give you what you want."

midnight.

In the cold palace, everything is silent.

It's kind of scary to be quiet.

Ji Lingxiu climbed over a high wall, and after a while, he came to a dry well.

The cold wind blew by, making a whining sound.

Ji Lingxiu forced himself to calm down, clenched his hands, and resolutely sat down in the bucket of water.

Half an hour later, he climbed up from the well holding a withered skeleton.

……

Star and Moon Palace.

With Gu Zhaozhao around, Concubine Li couldn't find time to spend alone with the emperor.

When a group of concubines greeted the Queen Mother, Concubine Li suddenly pointed to Gu Zhaozhao and said, "Queen Mother, does this Zhaozhao have a predestined relationship with the Buddha?"

Everyone present didn't know why Concubine Li suddenly said such a thing.

"What does Empress Li Concubine mean by saying this?"

Li Fei was determined to remove obstacles for herself. She covered her mouth and smiled when she heard this, "Don't you know, sister? Zhao Zhao once offered incense to the Buddha, and the smoke from the incense actually turned into a lotus!"

"Really?!" The concubine was also surprised when she heard that.

Concubine Li didn't expect the other party to agree with her so much, she quickly nodded, turned to the Empress Dowager and said, "Zhao Zhao was so loved by the Buddha at such a young age, the Empress Dowager might as well keep her by her side to worship the Buddha, and get closer to the Buddha."

When Concubine Li said this, several other low-status concubines were pulling Gu Zhaozhao to play with the flower rope, and they didn't hear what Concubine Li was saying.

She didn't react until Concubine Li was about to pull Gu Zhaozhao away.

"Empress Li Fei, Zhaozhao is too young, how can he understand that?"

Gu Zhaozhao knew that he could not even eat meat to worship Buddha, so he was unwilling to go.

Concubine Li reprimanded loudly, "Zhao Zhao is obedient."

"Zhao Zhao doesn't want to go, Zhao Zhao wants to eat meat!"

While the two were tugging, Li Fei tugged Gu Zhaozhao's arm in a hurry, and then pushed her.

And this scene was being seen by Gu Rongzhan and several princes who came here.
