The concubine is poisonous

Chapter 84 Poison Antidote
At night, a dark shadow cooks the imperial palace and goes straight to the prime minister's mansion.Hei Ying seemed to be very familiar with the layout of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so he quietly came outside Ran Hai's bedroom, and tapped on Ran Hai's window three times.When Ran Hai heard the movement, he knew it was someone from the palace, so he quickly opened the window, and the man jumped in from the window.

After the man entered the room, Ran Hai closed the window and cupped his fists to Ran Hai: "See you, Prime Minister."

Although the other party is masked, Ran Hai has already recognized who this person is, because he is very familiar with Renhao. This person was brought into the palace by Ran Hai to Bailai to use as an excuse for Ran Yunmo As a result, it turned out to be the subordinate who the two had a true relationship with.

Ran Hai was still a little displeased with Ran Yunmo showing affection to a subordinate, so he asked in an unfriendly tone: "Is the concubine Yun asking you to come? But what happened in the palace?"

Although the man could hear the displeasure in Ran Hai's tone, he still replied respectfully: "Yes, during the day, Concubine Yun encouraged Zhao Yuning to trouble Gu Xining and almost burned Gu Xining to death, but the emperor suddenly felt that Gu Xining was saved. She also scolded Zhao Yuning and Concubine Yun, and Concubine Yun said that if Gu Xinning was not removed for a day, the emperor's thoughts would not be taken back from Gu Xinning, so she sent his subordinates to invite the prime minister to plan, and the concubine said that no matter what, she must let the prime minister Try to get rid of Gu Xinning."

Ran Hai frowned and asked: "Zhao Yuning went to burn Gu Xinning, and Concubine Yun also participated?"

"Yes, Zhao Yuning needed help, Concubine Yun went with her attendants." The man in black replied.

Ran Hai clicked his tongue, and said with a frown: "The reason I left Zhao Yuning back then was to encourage Concubine Yun's words, and the purpose was only to stimulate Zhao Yuning to deal with Gu Xining. Why didn't Concubine Yun know that she should be alone, alas."

The man in black said: "It's a done deal, and there's nothing wrong with blaming the empress. The prime minister can think of no way to deal with Gu Xinning."

Ran Hai said: "This matter, the old man needs to carefully consider and plan. You go back and tell the empress, and say that the old man will find a way. Before getting my notice, don't act rashly and cause trouble."

The man in black nodded and said, "Yes, this subordinate will leave." After that, he rushed out of the window and disappeared into the night.

After the man in black left, Ran Hai was about to take off his clothes and go to bed when he suddenly heard someone knocking on his door.Subconsciously shouted: "Who is it?"

"Yes, Mo Luotang." The person who knocked on the door replied softly.

"It's so late, why do you come to see the old man." Ran Hai asked cautiously.

"Xiaotang is here to share the prime minister's worries."

"Sharing? What are you worrying about?" Although Ran Hai asked this, he was already muttering in his heart, "Did he hear the conversation just now?" '

"Prime Minister, it's inconvenient to talk outside, can you let Xiaotang come in first." Mo Luotang asked pleadingly.

Ran Hai thought for a moment after hearing the words, then walked slowly to the door and opened the door, let Mo Luotang in, then poked his head out of the door and walked around a lot, then retreated into the room and closed the door.

Just about to ask, Mo Luotang first explained: "Xiaotang originally decided that the secret room was too stuffy, and wanted to come out at night when there were few people, but unexpectedly saw a figure rushing into the prime minister's room, and thought it was an assassin. , worried about the safety of the prime minister, so he followed him, and after listening to the conversation between him and the prime minister, he realized that it was the prime minister who arranged to deliver the news in the palace.

Ran Hai asked with displeasure: "Did you hear everything we said?"

"Yes."

"Is there any way you can relieve the old man's worries?" Ran Hai continued to ask.

Mo Luotang smiled brightly and asked, "If you dare to ask the prime minister, who is the biggest resistance to killing Gu Xinning?"

Ran Hai replied almost without thinking: "It's the emperor."

Mo Luotang smiled and said, "That's right, so as long as the emperor is settled, other things will follow."

Ran Hai was furious when he heard this: "The old man said that now is not the time to deal with the emperor."

Mo Luotang sneered and said, "The Prime Minister thinks when will be a good opportunity? Now that Zhaoxuan Kingdom is facing internal and external troubles, if we don't take advantage of this opportunity to break through Zhaoxuan Kingdom, I'm afraid there will be no such good opportunity in the future."

Ran Hai looked at Mo Luotang coldly and said, "Hmph, since you said that, I'm not afraid of tearing my face apart. I know in my heart that the day the city of Zhaoxuan Kingdom is destroyed is the day when I will be useless. Once there is a day of Zhaoxuan Kingdom, Only the old man has the value of existence."

Mo Luotang didn't expect Ran Hai to be so straightforward, he was stunned for a moment, and quickly apologized and said with a smile: "What the prime minister said at this time, you and I have cooperated for so long, can't the prime minister not feel the sincerity of Ran Hai?"

"Hmph. I really didn't feel much!" Ran Hai said with a sneer.

Seeing that Ran Hai was so straightforward, Mo Luotang knew that Ran Hai had already been prejudiced against his recent behavior, so he couldn't help but smiled awkwardly, then changed the subject and said, "Prime Minister misunderstood what Xiaotang meant, Xiaotang didn't mean to ask for night The fate of Junyan, Xiaotang has a way to make Ye Junyan unconscious. At that time, as long as the empress dowager takes action at the right time, quickly understands Gu Xinninghou, and then wakes up the emperor, then the soul will be dead, and Ye Junyan will be able to recover again. How?"

After hearing Mo Luotang's words, Ran Hai couldn't help thinking, and while stroking his long beard, he paced back and forth in the room.After a while, Ran Hai asked Mo Luotang, "What are you going to do?"

Mo Luotang said: "As long as the prime minister manages to send Xiaotang into the palace, everything will come naturally." Since Mo Luotang broke into the palace at night last time, the guards in the palace have been tightened up, and there are people patrolling back and forth day and night. Moreover, Mo Luotang had lost his map and had limited memory of the topography of the palace. If he went there rashly, it would be easy to be discovered, so if he wanted to enter the palace again, he would need someone's help.

"No!" Ran Hai said almost categorically. Ran Hai knew very well that Mo Luotang was not an obedient partner. If he was really sent to the palace, it might not be to stun Ye Junyan, but to Mr. Shaye said, Ran Hai certainly didn't want to take this risk, so he continued: "You take two copies of the poison and antidote you mentioned, and give them to me, and I will arrange everything."

Mo Luotang knew that Ran Hai didn't believe him, and at the same time, Mo Luotang knew in his heart that with Ran Hai's cunning and cunning, it was impossible to change his mind easily, so he didn't say much, took out two medicine bottles from his arms and handed them to him. Ran Hai said: "The big bottle is poison, and the small bottle is antidote. Both medicines are colorless and tasteless. Only people like me or Gu Xinning who specialize in poisoning can find out. Your Excellency, Prime Minister, you should make good use of them."

Ran Hai took the medicine bottle, opened the stopper and looked at the amount of pills inside, nodded in satisfaction, closed the stopper and said, "Don't worry, the old man has his own measure, if there is nothing else, you can go down."

"Yes, Xiaotang will leave." After Mo Luotang said that, he turned around and left the room lightly.

Seeing that Mo Luotang left, Ran Hai lost all sleepiness. He took the medicine bottle that Mo Luotang gave him and looked at it repeatedly. Together with the old man, the old man needs to find someone to do an experiment, otherwise, if both of them are poisonous, will the old man be doomed? '

Thinking of this, Ran Hai quietly called a servant over, and poured a pill from a larger medicine bottle for the servant to take.

The servant looked at the pill and thought that he was going to poison himself with poison, his face turned pale with fright, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed for mercy, and said: "Master Prime Minister, please forgive me, I have done something wrong there, my love, Prime Minister. Point, the little one is willing to accept any punishment, I just ask the prime minister to spare the villain's life."

Ran Hai shouted lowly: "Shut up, are you yelling so loudly that you want everyone to hear? Who told you that this old man is going to kill you? This is a test of medicine for the emperor, a favor that no one else can think of. Stop talking nonsense and take it!" "

Seeing Ran Hai's firm attitude, the servant said that he was testing the medicine for the emperor, so he didn't dare to shirk, took the medicine tremblingly, stuffed the medicine into his mouth and swallowed it with aggrieved expression.

After a while, the servant who took the medicine fell to the ground in a daze. Ran Hai went to check the breath of the famous servant. Although the breathing was weak, it was very even, so it was not life-threatening.But Ran Hai still can't be completely relieved, the poison is fine, what about the antidote?Ran Hai decided to observe for another night, then give the servant the antidote tomorrow, and then observe again.Thinking of this, Ran Hai undressed and went to bed.

In the early morning of the next day, Ran Hai got up early, looked at the servant, and still had a faint breath.So he took out another medicine from the small bottle, put the water cup on the pot table, and fed the next medicine to the servant.About two quarters of an hour later, after the servant coughed lightly, the servant slowly opened his eyes, Ran Hai watched the servant wake up, nodded slightly with satisfaction and said to the servant: "Very well, you go to the accountant Receive 100 taels of silver as your hard work, remember, this matter is not allowed to be mentioned to anyone, otherwise be careful of your head."

The servant had been worried that he would die, but seeing that he was still alive and had 100 taels of silver left, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed happily: "Thank you, Prime Minister, for your reward. Don't worry, the prime minister. The little one will do what the prime minister ordered. Don’t even dare to speak nonsense.”

Ran Hai nodded in satisfaction, and told his servants to go down.

After the servant left, Ran Hai changed into his official uniform, put on his official hat and went to court.In the court hall, Ran Hai and Du Wangshan reported to Ye Junyan the deployment of troops discussed by the ministers in the past two days. After Ye Junyan read the countermeasures discussed by everyone in detail, he nodded in satisfaction and praised everyone, and then issued an order Deploy according to the results of everyone's discussion.

After retiring from the court, Ran Hai came to Zhongcui Palace, handed two bottles of pills to Ran Yunmo, and told her their respective uses, and said: "You only need to try to make the emperor take the pills in the big bottle, and after that, You should know what to do."

Ran Yunmo nodded and said, "Well, don't worry, Dad, my daughter knows what to do."

Ran Hai still urged uneasy: "Remember that everything is decided by the Queen Mother, don't be self-righteous and cause trouble for the upper body!"

Seeing Ran Hai's serious expression, Ran Yunmo knew that Ran Hai was still angry with her, so she quickly said coquettishly: "Oh, Dad, my daughter knows that she is wrong, so please stop staring at that matter, okay! "

Ran Hai shook his head helplessly and said: "I see you, you still don't know the seriousness at all. Forget it, as long as you don't cause me any trouble, the old minister will resign, and my lady, please stay." Ran Hai turned and left Zhong Cui after speaking. Palace, go outside the palace.
