Chapter 693
Imperial physician Wu watched from inside, while Lu Xiaoning and Concubine Xian went to the outer hall.Eunuch Gao has already listed all the food used by the emperor for the past two days, and all the people who have handled it have gathered to accept questions at any time.

Lu Xiaoning looked at the list and asked, "Who made this wild pheasant? Stewed wild pheasant with velvet antler, angelica and cordyceps? Didn't I say that the emperor can't eat hot food when he's sick? Wild pheasant is enough. Antlers?"

Lu Xiaoning was very speechless, how could there be such a mistake?She said that the sudden onset of the emperor's illness must have been induced.The emperor, with his frail body at this age, still eats deer antlers, which is simply unbearable.

Concubine Xian said guiltily: "Didn't you hunt a lot of wild game last night? The imperial chef brought up the menu. The emperor saw the wild pheasant, so he ordered the wild pheasant. I also reminded you, but the emperor said that eating less is the best way to eat." I haven't tasted the wild pheasant for many years. I thought it wouldn't matter to eat less, so I didn't stop it. The emperor really only drank a bowl of soup and tasted two or three pieces of wild pheasant. Chicken meat, however, it seems that deer antler was not mentioned on the previous menu.”

Eunuch Gao recalled for a while and said: "The old slave took the menu and took a look at it. I really didn't find deer antler written on it."

The three looked at each other.If this is the case, it means that someone deliberately murdered the emperor, and this can never be negligence.

Concubine Xian said with a serious expression: "What about the imperial doctor? Also, find out who made this dish."

Eunuch Gao said: "This old servant will go and investigate."

Lu Xiaoning sighed, "I'm afraid it's too late."

Eunuch Gao mobilized the crowd to gather all the people who handled the food, and that person must have committed suicide in fear of crime at this moment.It was all her fault, and Eunuch Gao should be reminded to conduct a secret investigation.

At that time, I was in a hurry and didn't think so much.

Sure enough, after a while, Eunuch Gao came back with a livid face and said that the imperial chef who made this dish had committed suicide by taking poison.

Concubine Xian said angrily: "If you commit suicide, you have to investigate. Find out who this person has been with these days, whether there are other people in the family, and what is the situation at home."

This is the only clue, and digging three feet into the ground has to dig out some useful information.

Lu Xiaoning didn't hold out much hope, everyone was dead, and the clues were almost broken, and the person behind it had already wiped out the tail.

Concubine Xian calmed down and said, "Eunuch Gao, first go and tell the ministers outside that the emperor has woken up, so that everyone will not worry about it, and then let His Royal Highness go to investigate."

Eunuch Gao took the order and was about to go out to deliver a message, when Lu Xiaoning said, "Wait a minute."

Concubine Xian looked at Lu Xiaoning suspiciously: "Does the emperor have any questions?"

Lu Xiaoning said: "I just thought of one thing, since we have confirmed that someone wants to murder the emperor, if the emperor is fine, then it is impossible for us to dig him out, but what if the emperor is in trouble?"

Concubine Xian's eyes froze: "What do you mean?"

"Follow the plan." Lu Xiaoning paused word by word.

Follow the plan and lead the snake out of the hole.

This person just wants something to happen to the emperor, so let him do what he wants, this person will definitely have a plan.

Concubine Xian pondered for a long time, and said: "This is a big matter, I'm afraid the emperor will have to decide it himself."

Dare to risk the greatness of the sky and murder the emperor, this person's plan must be for the interests of the sky.Who else could it be?The answer is already coming out, so the Emperor must be asked for his consent on this matter.

Lu Xiaoning said: "Of course."

It depends on whether the emperor can make up his mind, and this matter also needs a detailed plan, or else when the opponent tries to show up, but he has no power to resist, then the loss outweighs the gain.

So, let the people outside continue to wait.

The emperor fell asleep right now, and he didn't know when he would wake up.

The people outside are standing in the cold wind, their hearts are anxious like frying fire, but their bodies are shaking from the cold, and they have not eaten their lunch, they are hungry, stomping their feet one by one secretly, gasping for breath, miserable Word.

Seeing that more than half an hour had passed since the original scheduled time to return to the city, and the Qingfeng Temple was still closed, and no news was revealed.Some people lose patience.

"Why has there been no news for so long, will Lu Xiaoning be cured? Do we have to wait like this forever?" Huangfu Shaofeng asked anxiously.

"His Royal Highness, you'd better go in and ask, no matter what the situation is, so that everyone can know what's going on," said Mr. Liu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites.

"That's right, His Royal Highness King Yan went in and asked." Everyone echoed.

Huangfu Shaoye also wanted to go in and have a look, but it was just that he couldn't easily go in in the current critical period, so as not to lose people's tongues, but now everyone asked him to go in, it was different.

"Alright, just wait for me to ask." Huangfu Shaoye followed suit like a friend.

"It's not right for His Highness King Yan to go in alone. If you want to go in, it's reasonable for me and Prince Zhao's son to go in together on behalf of Prince Qin's Mansion and Prince Zhao's Mansion." Huangfu Shaofeng objected.

Whoever can enter the palace at this time may have the chance to win. Therefore, Huangfu Shaoye must not be allowed to enter alone.

Huangfu Shaoxuan said: "It should be so."

Huangfu Shaoye glanced at them indifferently, walked to the front of the main hall, and said loudly: "My minister, Huangfu Shaoye, begs to see you."

Huangfu Shaoxuan and Huangfu Shaofeng also rushed forward to speak.

"Sir, Huangfu Shaoxuan is asking to see you."

"Grandson, Huangfu Shaofeng is asking to see you."

Silence answered them.

Just when Huangfu Shaoye was about to return to his original position, the door of the main hall opened, and Eunuch Gao came out, his eyes full of worry, and said: "The emperor invites His Royal Highness King Yan to enter the hall."

"Eunuch Gao, the emperor is awake?" Huangfu Shaofeng asked anxiously.

"Gao Gonggong, please report to the Emperor, I am very worried about the Emperor's condition, please allow me to go in and visit." Huangfu Shaoxuan also begged.

Eunuch Gao said: "The two of you should wait a moment, the emperor is not in a good condition now, so I only announced His Royal Highness King Yan."

As soon as they heard that the emperor's condition was not very good, the ministers were even more worried.But Huangfu Shaoxuan and Huangfu Shaofeng watched Huangfu Shaoye and Eunuch Gao go in, not to mention feeling very depressed.

The emperor only proclaimed Huangfu Shaoye, is he about to pass on the throne?

In fact, from the emperor's increasing reliance on Huangfu Shaoye this year, it can be seen that the emperor already intends for Huangfu Shaoye to inherit the great rule. It is not until the last moment, Zhao Wangfu and Qin Wangfu are unwilling to give up.

Always feel that there is still hope to fight again.

But who would have thought that the emperor would fall at this time?And there was only one Huangfu Shaoye by his side, King Zhao and King Qin were not there.

Not to mention that the emperor intends to pass on the throne, it is easy for Huangfu Shaoye to do some small tricks.

Maybe, Huangfu Shaoye will come out later holding the imperial decree, then they are still jumping around, everything will be too late.
