Chapter 358 The incident happened! (5)
"You have been poisoned by a chronic poison from the Western Regions. Fortunately, Mrs. Ninghou discovered it in time and gave you needles to get rid of the poison in your body." Yun Shuo hugged her, his voice trembling, "I'm sorry, Qianqian." Yes Brother Emperor did not protect you well.

"Am I going to be poisoned?" Han Qian didn't believe this statement at all.

"Yes. The poison was put in the incense. I have already asked someone to investigate, don't worry, the murderer must be found out and his body cut into pieces." Yun Shuo put the person in his arms back on the bed, and then He took off the cloak on his shoulders and squeezed onto the bed.

"I put it in the incense." Han Qian also felt scared, and sighed repeatedly: "I won't use incense in the future. I didn't like these at first."

"Blame me." Yun Shuo was filled with remorse, as soon as he heard Mrs. Ninghou say that the poison was mixed in the spices, he immediately remembered that Mu Yao had poisoned the incense to warn him when he was in Xijiang.It's just that I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen in Fengzhang Palace.

Thinking about it now, if those people want to harm people, they will definitely do everything possible. Putting poison in the aromatherapy is not a strange trick.I just hate myself for not being careful and cautious enough.

"It's not your fault." Han Qian squeezed into Yunshuo's arms, and said in a low voice, "Those people are too bad."

Yun Shuo hugged the person in his arms, bowed his head and kissed her forehead: "Don't be afraid, I will kill all those bad guys."

"Well, don't worry, Brother Emperor, I'm not afraid." Han Qian nodded slightly.

I am not afraid.

This is the best comfort for Yunshuo.

The palace is dangerous, she will stay by his side without fear.

The incident in Fengzhang Palace aroused the emperor's fury, and the whole palace was turned upside down by Wu Miao.

The imperial pharmacy, the imperial dining room, the tea room, the washing bureau, the internal construction bureau, lamps and candles, ice charcoal, food materials, fabrics, etc., were all searched by Wu Miao one by one, and they didn't even release the mouse hole. Pass.

After more than ten days of tossing, Wu Miao collected more than 130 kinds of prohibited items, and imprisoned [-] related court ladies and eunuchs.However, the spices from the Western Regions mentioned by Mrs. Ninghou were not found.

In the Zichen Hall, His Majesty the Emperor sat behind the dragon case, flipping through the brochure Wu Miao handed over with a cold face.Wu Miao, the eunuchs in charge and the eunuchs in charge of the palace supervision office knelt on the ground and waited quietly for the emperor to ask questions.

After a long while, Yun Shuo closed the folded booklet with a 'snap'.

Wu Miao, who was kneeling at the front, couldn't help shivering, and secretly looked up. Seeing the emperor sitting there with a sullen face, Fang tentatively asked, "Your Majesty, it is true that Yao Yuanling was not found in this palace. The kind of spices. How about—this servant will take someone to check the tributes sent by the foreign envoys a while ago?"

"Why, those tributes were not inspected?" Yun Shuo narrowed his eyes, with a dangerous sharpness in his eyes.

"Yes, because the tributes are all stored in the inner treasury, and the key is with the Empress, the servant did not dare to disturb the Empress' rest." Wu Miao replied with her head bowed.

The emperor didn't lose his temper after hearing this, and ordered in a deep voice: "Go to Xu Jianghui next to the empress, and let her take you to open the inner warehouse to investigate! Be sure to find out the source of this thing!"

"Yes." Wu Miao kowtowed in agreement, and retreated with a group of supervisors.

Yun Shuo leaned on the dragon chair and played with the booklet in his hand, frowning.

Wu Sibao who was next to him came forward with a cup of tea, and while offering fragrant tea, he replied: "Your Majesty, Elder Xiao Ge and Minister of War He are here. They said they have something important to tell Your Majesty face to face."

"He Xi?" Yun Shuo frowned and asked.

"Return to Your Majesty, it's Lord He Xihe." Wu Sibao responded with a bow.

Yun Shuo threw the booklet in his hand onto the desk with a snap, and said lightly, "Bring it on."

Wu Sibao responded and hurried out, after a while Xiao Lin and He Xi came in one after another, kneeling and saluting to Yun Shuo.

"Stay flat." Yun Shuo leaned on the dragon chair and looked at the two of them, "Is there something important to come to see me at this time? Could it be that someone in the frontier is going to start a war again?"

"Your Majesty is wise." Xiao Lin and He Xi bowed together.

Xiao Lin sighed, and then replied: "On the way back to the king of Northern Mongolia, the chief guard beside him was killed on the spot by a man in black with a sword. The king of Northern Mongolia left five guards and returned to the imperial capital to ask us to Thoroughly investigate this matter. The ministers are investigating, but the king of Northern Mongolia seems to have received some news that the guards who killed his personal guards were the guards in my palace and people around the emperor. So Beimeng used this as an excuse to report to me Send troops to the border."

"Hmph." Yun Shuo sneered, "I want to make trouble, want to start a war, what excuses can't I find?"

Xiao Lin was afraid of this, so he hurriedly stepped forward, bowed his waist and persuaded: "Your Majesty, we just experienced a flood last year. Now, in order to manage the Jinhe River, the imperial court allocates more than 600 million taels of silver every year, and A lot of food...we can't go to war now!"

"Your Majesty, what you fight for is not troops and generals, but grain and money." He Xi also took two steps forward, persuading, "Especially in Northern Mongolia, where they straddle snow ridges and grasslands, and the terrain is very complicated. Once a war starts, the two sides will inevitably glue together... If the food and grass cannot keep up, it will be difficult for us to win the battle. Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

Yun Shuo frowned and said: "Then what do you mean? Which of the guards around me should be sent to defend the Northern Mongolian King's personal guard?"

He Xi was speechless for a moment.

The people around the emperor, no matter which guards they are, although their official positions are not high, they are all close ministers of the emperor, and each of them is more favored than his ministers.

"He Xi, if I want you to find one of your brothers and give them to Bei Meng to take their lives, would you be willing?"

"Chen, I'd rather go by myself than hurt my brother." He Xi bowed his head and said.

"So, do you think I will send out those brothers who sacrificed their lives to protect me?" Yun Shuo asked in a deep voice.

"I'm guilty." He Xi immediately knelt down.

"That's all! You are also thinking of the court. I don't blame you." Yun Shuo waved his hand.

Xiao Lin gave He Xi a helpless look, and was speechless at He Xi's uprightness in his heart, so he braced himself and bowed and asked, "Does Your Majesty want you to wait to prepare for the battle?"

"Prepare for battle." Yun Shuo gritted his teeth.

"But, Your Majesty..."

"Preparing for war is not starting a war." Yun Shuo waved his hand to stop Xiao Lin's words, "What I mean is that if you want to spread the word about preparing for war, you must first build up your morale. As for when the war will start... If Northern Mongolia If our troops dare to step across the border, we must give them a hard blow."

Xiao Lin immediately clasped his hands and said, "I understand."

"Go down." A booklet in Yun Shuo's hand knocked on the dragon's case.
