Dressed as a tyrant and kissing the little queen

Chapter 281 Secret 2
"Otherwise what? Kill me? There is no antidote here in this palace. If I really want to kill the emperor, what you see now should be the emperor's corpse."

Empress Dowager Deng said coldly: "Wei Zhong, you also know that the emperor is a child of this palace. I don't need to explain to you what I have done and what I have done. Only the emperor can understand what I did wrong. Condemnation, when will it be your turn to make irresponsible remarks?"

In a word, Master Wei's face turned green and pale.

The old man was born in the battlefield, and he was not good at words. He was quite ashamed to be criticized by the queen mother, and felt that he had indeed overstepped.

Only the emperor can deal with the empress dowager's crime, and it is indeed not his turn.

The old man saluted, then retreated silently, and only ordered people to guard the Palace of Mercy, and not allow anyone to enter or leave at will.

Inside Qianyuan Hall.

Ling Junxing was still in a coma, and Xue Yuheng was concentrating on detoxifying his minister with acupuncture and moxibustion.

These few days Xue Yuheng was imprisoned in the palace. Although he was brought to Lord Ling for pulse diagnosis every day as a routine, the guards did not let him stay for a long time, but ordered him to prescribe medicine.

But Xue Yuheng didn't know whether the prescribed medicine was decocted for the emperor to drink.

"This poison is a kind of poison from the Northland, and it has the same origin as the poison of the nine-leaf dripping lotus."

Since Xue Yuheng knew that Mr. Ji was poisoned by the poison of the nine-leaf drip lotus, he has studied the poisonous plants and symptoms in the Northland in depth.

Not long ago, when Ling Junxing and Qin Luoyu went south to Ancheng, he went north alone for a stroll around the Northland, so now he knows the source of the poison in the Northland like the palm of his hand.

He originally wanted to assist Miracle Doctor Ge in compiling the Pharmacopoeia, but at this time it came in handy and rescued Ling Junxing by mistake.

Even if the Empress Dowager did not give the antidote, Xue Yuheng could cure the poison if Lord Ling practiced it.

"It's just that the poisoning time is too long, and it needs medicine and acupuncture treatment. After seven or eight days, it will definitely wake up."

Xue Yuheng took the silver needle, and his usual smile returned to his face, and he looked at Qin Luoyu jokingly: "Wuji and I will go out first, and you and the emperor will be alone for a while? So that you can see enough."

Qin Luoyu came in, his gaze kept on the unconscious Ling Junxing's face.

Hearing what Xue Yuheng said at this moment, she looked away and smiled, "I think you still have questions to ask me, so let me answer your questions first."

Wei Wuji and Xue Yuheng did have many questions to ask Qin Luoyu.

For example, what happened to Mr. Ji's jade pendant.

For example, what role did Pei Yuandao and Deng Huai play in it, and whether Deng Huai's death was accidental or murdered.

For example, why did Xiao Guangzhi plead guilty, and what is the relationship between him and the Queen Mother.

For another example, why did the barbarians from the north bring Xiao Shangyan to the north of Lingguo and so on.

There are so many things they want to know, Qin Luoyu thought for a while, "Let's start with Taichang Qing Deng Huai."

"The death of Taichangqing Deng Huai was not an accident, nor was he murdered, but suicide. It is not difficult to find echinacea in the Daishan hunting ground. He took the poison of echinacea himself, fell off his horse and died after taking the poison."

Wei Wuji and Xue Yuheng looked at each other, "Why did he commit suicide?"

"Let's put it this way, he has never forgotten his love for the Queen Mother, and he has secretly helped to cover what the Queen Mother did. The Emperor began to investigate this matter. He didn't want the Queen Mother to be implicated, so he chose to commit suicide. That's the end of the matter."

According to the queen mother's instructions, Deng Huai gave the nine-petal lotus to Prime Minister Pei in order to attract Miss Zhong's attention.

Later, the nine-petal lotus withered, Miss Zhong heard what Prime Minister Pei said, and asked Deng Huai how to carve the root into what she wanted. Deng Huai asked her to go to the night market to find a man from Beidi who was selling nine-petal lotus. He was the Great Wizard of the Great Yan Kingdom.

This person told Ms. Zhong that the rhizome of the nine-petal lotus was carved into a jade pendant. If it is given to a sweetheart, it can be used forever.

Miss Zhong Zhong didn't know that the nine-petal lotus was the nine-leaf dripping lotus, nor that it was highly poisonous and would corrode the nerves, so she gave the jade pendant to Chengji, the former prince's mausoleum.

At that time, the Empress Dowager had already moved to kill Ling Chengji.

In the Empress Dowager's plan, it is absolutely impossible for Ling Chengji to inherit the throne, otherwise her plan would not be realized.

Her move is to clear the obstacles for Ling Junxing, and also for herself to ascend to the position of empress dowager in the future.

"As for why Xiao Guangzhi pleaded guilty, because Xiao Guangzhi is also an ex-official of the Dayan Kingdom. After the Dayan Kingdom was broken, he fled to the Great Qin Kingdom with the orphan of the Dayan royal family. Get in touch later."

Princess Xiuyue has an order, and Xiao Guangzhi has to obey.

Because of the changes in Luocheng ten years ago, he helped to install Mrs. Wen in the mansion of the eldest son of the Great Qin Emperor, breaking the alliance of the four countries.

Wen Mei is a chess piece arranged by the Queen Mother.

This is also the reason why Xiao Guangzhi pleaded guilty when Miss Wen was arrested. He was punished for someone else, and the replacement was naturally Princess Xiuyue.

The Beidi old servant who kept the black-feathered hawk in Pei Yuandao's mansion was also a chess piece that the Queen Mother had already placed.

The purpose is that one day, once Wen Lai's poisoning is exposed, at least the culprit can be found.

"The last question you asked, why did Xiao Shangyan appear in Beidi?"

Qin Luoyu said slowly, "Because he is the orphan of the royal family of the Great Yan Kingdom."

The queen mother is Xiao Shangyan's direct aunt.

The expressions on Xue Yuheng's and Wei Wuji's faces can hardly be described in terms of shock.

Being struck by the billowing thunder, it may not be enough to describe the mood of the two of them at the moment.

Xue Yuheng suddenly thought of something, "No wonder the Empress Dowager fell into a coma and fell ill that day. The Emperor told me that the Empress Dowager was only emotional because she thought of the late Emperor. Looking at it now, she may not be for the late Emperor at all, but for Xiao Shangyan." .”

After Xiao Guangzhi committed suicide, his body was whipped and ashes were beaten by the emperor of the Great Qin Kingdom. Xiao Shangyan's life and death were unpredictable. He was not only the blood relative of the Empress Dowager, but also the hope of the restoration of the Great Yan Kingdom. How could the Empress Dowager not be worried.

It's a pity that the emperor stayed by the empress dowager's side day and night to take care of her, but after all, his filial piety was in vain.

"That's why the queen mother took the risk to poison the emperor, the purpose is really to create opportunities for the northern barbarians to restore the Dayan Kingdom."

Wei Wuji frowned, "It's true that she is the princess of Dayan Kingdom, but now she is the queen mother of Ling Kingdom, the emperor's mother, how can she be so careless."

The Empress Dowager's thinking is really incomparable to others, it is simply unimaginable.

Is this going to use his own son and the entire Ling Kingdom as a wedding dress for the long-destroyed Dayan Kingdom?

Even if she had such an attempt, she still had to ask whether the courtiers of the Ling Kingdom agreed.

Qin Luoyu thought to himself, he didn't regard Ling Junxing as his son at all, so why should he be scruples.

"I have one last question."

Xue Yuheng stared at Qin Luoyu with burning eyes, "Brother Luo, how do you know these secrets?"
