Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 225 Step On Another Foot

"No..." Xia Qin shook his head, facing Ming Shengdi's skeptical and steadfast eyes on him, he felt that he couldn't argue with it.But he didn't expect such a situation to happen today, and he didn't prepare at all. In the eyes of Ming Shengdi, he seemed to be even more cover-up.

"Nothing? You are looking at the fact that I sit on the throne too firmly, and you want to shake it, don't you?"

I have always been very lenient to my sons, especially Xia Qin. As a prince, although I have always been strict with him, I have always taught and measured him by the standards of a prince. do such things.

The so-called auspiciousness from heaven, and the so-called Phoenix-tailed Qilan blooming against the season, were all carefully planned by him?

Otherwise, how could Xia Shengqing and the other palace man be both poisoned, and only Xia Qin had nothing to do with it, presumably he had already made complete preparations before entering the palace, and he must have taken the antidote in advance.

Once Ming Shengdi thought that if he was the one who went to pick up the potted flowers just now, then he was also the one who was poisoned and unconscious now, and he felt very cold in his heart.

After the imperial doctor stabilized the situation of the poisoned two, he carefully put on the protective gear and took a leaf of the phoenix-tailed Qilan to study carefully.

A moment later, the imperial physician knelt down in front of Emperor Ming and exclaimed, "Your Majesty! This flower is indeed poisonous!"

Ming Shengdi narrowed his eyes, turned to look at Xia Qin's pale face when he heard the imperial doctor's words, and said in a deep voice, "Go on, what kind of poison is that?"

The imperial doctor replied and reported: "This poisonous official has never seen it before, but it can be judged that its toxicity is very fierce. It is a stubborn toxin that can penetrate into the internal organs of a person. Once it invades the heart and spleen, it becomes a medicine stone. Soulless."

"Originally, this kind of poison would not have occurred so quickly. It was just that there were some flowers and plants in the hall that could counteract it, which prompted its rapid release of poison. At the moment of contact, Director Xia and another The famous palace people are poisoned."

"If this poison is not stimulated, it will only be a chronic poison, and it will gradually lose people who come into contact with him. But within a month, it will have the potential to destroy the ancients. It is really an extremely overbearing poison. "

Every word and every sentence he said shocked Emperor Ming.

He really raised a good son and used such vicious poison to deal with himself!

If this thing hadn't been exposed in advance because of the conflict with another plant today, he himself respected the oracle of the sky, and if he touched that Qilan every day, wouldn't he be deeply hurt by it!

Ming Shengdi just stared at Xia Qin like that, wishing he could tear him apart!

Although the person in front of him is his own son, but in the face of imperial power and status, there is no brotherhood or father-son relationship.

"Prince, I treat you well"

Ming Shengdi gave a low laugh, with the coldest eyes in the coldest winter day, wanting to shoot directly into his heart.

A trace of desolation gradually spread in Ming Shengdi's heart at this time, he suddenly recalled that rainy night many years ago, the former Jinlai King fell bloody under his sword, begging him not to ruin his hand established dynasty.

Is everything today, or everything in these years, the evil result of the usurpation of the dynasty that he planned back then?

Ming Shengdi didn't dare to think about it and didn't want to think about it. He could only try his best to stabilize his mood at this time, making himself look as majestic as usual, and didn't want anyone to notice the trembling and fear under his cold eyes.

"Father, listen to my son! This matter really has nothing to do with my son!" Xia Qin knelt down, gradually moved his knees to Ming Shengdi's feet, tugged at the hem of his clothes and kowtowed repeatedly, "I understand that father The emperor's kindness to his subjects is profound, and he understands that the emperor's father is not only a father but also a king to his subjects! As a son of man and a subject, how can the subject act rebelliously and unscrupulously? Woolen cloth!"

Xia Qin showed a look of horror, he understood how important the image in Ming Shengdi's heart was.Today's reversal of disasters came one after another and he was caught off guard. If Ming Shengdi thought that he had the heart of regicide, once this impression was deeply impressed in Ming Shengdi's heart, no matter what he did in the future, it would be difficult to change it. In Ming Shengdi's heart, he already has the disadvantage.

Ming Shengdi is such a fine and sharp person, he understands that he is greedy for imperial power and others will also be greedy for imperial power, this world is rightfully in his hands for him, but if he does not die for a day, even if Xia Tian works hard Because the crown prince is the number one successor to the throne, he can't surpass him to take charge of Dalai.

Sitting on the throne for a long time will get boring, right? I also want to taste the power of life and death in my hands, and the taste of the world, and I also want to try what it is like to sit on the throne of the Dragon Throne in the Golden Palace, right?
Just like he was tired of being a great general at the beginning, the status of being under one person and above ten thousand people is not as smooth as the feeling of being the only one!

At this time, Ming Shengdi turned a deaf ear to Xia Qin's self-justification, and he only had one thought in his mind, that is, the prince is not very peaceful now, and he must beat him hard, otherwise once Xia Qin thinks that he is old If he did, he would do what he did back then and take advantage of the situation to force the palace. That's really a scholar.

The imperial doctor said at this time: "Fortunately, Director Xia and the people from the other palace have not been in contact with this poison for a long time. It's just that the poison was released too violently at once, which caused the two of them to vomit blood and pass out. I just need to adjust their breathing for a while. Second, you will be able to wake up after a while."

Ming Shengdi nodded, feeling a little tired at this moment.

He sighed deeply, took two steps back and sat slumped on the dragon chair, his gray hair tied high in the gold inlaid jade crown, he lowered a pair of feeble hands to support his knees, looking at Xia Tian He hesitated to speak.

"Father..."

What Xiaqin can do at this time is to try his best to prove his sincerity and innocence. He knelt and moved in front of Emperor Ming, trembling, raised his head and showed what he thought was the most sincere eyes, and said sincerely, Father: "You Just trust me, I really don't know how to do those things, think about it, which one of the thousands of eyes in the palace is not watching the movement inside and outside the palace, if I really have some conspiracy You know, father would have already listened to people telling me."

"Besides, since the imperial doctor said that the poison is a violent thing, how dare the son hold the flower all the way? Director Xia and the two of them only touched it for a while and they both fell into a coma, but the son touched it all the way, but he was safe! Yes! Seeing that the flower was originally non-poisonous, but it suddenly became poisonous in the palace, someone must have deliberately planted a frame to frame this minister, and wanted to discredit this minister in front of the emperor!"

In Ming Sheng's eyes, his every-word justification seemed to be sophistry, and Xia Qin's impression in Ming Sheng Emperor's heart was always scheming. , it is not unreasonable.

Suspicious as Ming Shengdi, as early as the first moment of this incident, Xia Qin was sentenced.

"Up to now, you are still arguing in front of me." Ming Shengdi sneered a few times, with deep disappointment and determination on his face.

This trick of secretly hurting people had been seen and played through as early as when he was General Jin Lai.

Xia Qin is his son, father and son have similar temperaments, they are both unyielding and unyielding masters.It is not impossible for Xia Qin to replace him with the same means when he is old.

Ming Shengdi sneered three more times, raised his hand, and called people to come forward, about to order Xia Qin to deal with him.

At this time, Xia Shengqing and another palace servant woke up one after another. The imperial doctor hurriedly checked aside, and after confirming that the toxins in the two people's bodies were stable, he was also relieved, and then reported to Ming Shengdi.

Ming Shengdi paused for a moment in dealing with Xia Qin, and then planned to let it go for a while, and explore the situation on Xia Shengqing's side before making any plans.

Although Xia Shengqing had woken up, the blood on her face was still weak. With the support of the imperial physician and several guards, she barely stood up straight and bowed to the Ming emperor.There was a dark look of pain on that handsome face, obviously tortured by the toxin.

"How do you feel?" Ming Shengdi looked at him intently, and asked urgently, "When you were holding that Qilan plant just now, why did you feel unwell? How do you feel now?"

Ming Shengdi was very afraid that Xia Shengqing would say something serious. The more Xia Shengqing felt physically uncomfortable, it proved that the harder Xia Qin dealt with him, the more disappointed and cold he felt.

At this time, Xia Qin was also waiting for Xia Shengqing's answer, and secretly shook his head at Xia Shengqing with the last glimmer of hope, signaling him not to talk nonsense, so as not to hurt him.

But to Xia Qin's disappointment, instead of speaking for him, Xia Shengqing knelt down to Ming Shengdi with a look of horror on his face.

"I can't say much about this servant, I just feel that after I hugged the strange orchid flower from His Royal Highness, I felt itchy in my throat and tightness in my chest within two or three steps. I don't know why His Royal Highness would treat this poisonous flower. There is no reaction at all, but it is strange to say that His Royal Highness seems to have a faint fruity fragrance."

Xia Qin was startled, he had indeed scented his clothes with luoguo fragrance when he went out today, but luoguo is a common spice that people in the royal family love to use, so it is not a big deal to use it on him.

However, the imperial physician exclaimed again after hearing this, and glanced at Xia Qin with his rounded eyes, and then told Ming Shengdi: "Your Majesty, that Luo fruit has the effect of dredging stasis and detoxifying, although it is different from others The effect is not very obvious when the poisons of the orchids are mixed, but if you add some specific spices to the clothes, it can form a natural air barrier to isolate the toxins on the orchids!"

Xia Tianqin's heart skipped a beat, he deeply felt that this game of chess was bound to be lost, and he was powerless to recover.
