Rebirth of the Abandoned Concubine: The Poison Goddess Doctor

Chapter 744 Discuss the reserve, take the lead to dispel doubts

From midnight to dawn in the imperial study room, powerful generals in the court had already been sent to the frontier to support them, and there were no generals available.The King of Qin and the Ninth Prince asked for orders to quell the rebellion. After a final discussion, they decided that the King of Qin would lead the army to attack frontally, while the Ninth Prince would go around to the rear to cut off Yin Yuanlang's retreat and stop the rebels of the Yin family in the western border.

After the matter was agreed upon, there was an old man who said: "Your Majesty, there are internal and external troubles in the court, and the emperor's dragon body is uncomfortable. In order to stabilize the court situation and calm people's hearts, I ask the emperor to appoint a heir to stabilize the country!"

Immediately, several elders and important ministers stood up and echoed: "Shen please the emperor to choose the crown prince, so as to stabilize the country!"

In the past, when it came to the selection of a crown prince, Emperor Hongguang was always displeased, procrastinating and procrastinating, and if he was pressed too hard, he would find someone who took the lead and punish him severely.This time, the elders and important ministers were also considering the overall situation, so they bit the bullet and asked to play, and they were ready to be scolded by the emperor.

However, Emperor Hongguang did not get angry today, and said: "In the past, the princes and grandchildren were still young and lacked sharpening. I'm a little satisfied. In fact, if you don't mention it, I already have plans."

"Your majesty is holy!" All the ministers were overjoyed and shouted excitedly.

"All the loves will present to me the candidates you are optimistic about as the crown prince. I will think carefully before making a decision." Hongguang Emperor said.

A minister couldn't help asking: "I wonder how long the emperor will think about it?" After he finished speaking, he realized that he was too impatient to ask, and he might displease the emperor, so he sneaked a nervous look at Emperor Hongguang's face.

Emperor Hongguang glanced at him, and said calmly: "Within a month, there must be a decision."

All the ministers breathed a sigh of relief, and the sage said that since the promise was made, they can still afford to wait in one month.

Joy flashed in the eyes of the Ninth Prince. The courtiers' opinions were very important when the father chose the crown prince. Now most of the courtiers are his own people. It is almost certain that he will become the crown prince.

After the discussion in the middle of the night, Emperor Hongguang's face was obviously tired. Quan Sanxi announced the end of the meeting with a wink. After the courtiers bowed and retired, they exited the imperial study in an orderly manner.

Not far from the Imperial Study Room, several ministers gathered around the Ninth Prince, congratulating him in advance on his ascension to the crown prince. The Ninth Prince spoke modestly, saying that the matter had not yet been decided, but in his heart he was very grateful.

Qin Wang also surrounded a few people, who were very contemptuous of the flattery of the ministers over there, and said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness, don't listen to those people's flattery, if the emperor wants to make the ninth prince the crown prince, why wait until now, according to my minister, the emperor The crown prince I am most interested in is Your Highness."

"That's right," another person said, "The emperor has always valued His Highness the most, and His Highness is the only heir of the former Crown Prince, so the position of crown prince belongs to His Highness!"

"Your lords, be careful," King Qin said softly, "Who the emperor wants to pass on to, I have my own decision in my heart. No matter how much I speculate, it is useless. If it gets to the ears of the emperor, I am afraid that there will be more trouble. Just wait." As a result, when the time comes...we can discuss it later."

Several ministers understood, all nodded, said something about countering the rebellion loudly, and then dispersed as if nothing had happened.

The Ninth Prince also dismissed everyone after hearing a few good words. Although he was full of confidence, he also understood that before the result was determined, he had to be cautious and keep a low profile so as not to offend his father.

"King Qin stay behind." The Ninth Prince caught up with King Qin from behind.

King Qin stopped and turned around, smiled slightly and said, "What advice does Uncle Nine Emperors have?"

The Ninth Prince said: "In the conquest of Yin's rebels, you are the master and I will assist you. The key is to cooperate. Why don't we find a place to have a good chat."

"It should be done," King Qin said, "Uncle Nine Emperors please."

The two walked side by side. The Ninth Prince said that he was talking about suppressing the rebellion, but he said first: "Baili Wuhen broke into the prison without permission. Does the King of Qin think he is really going to collude with the Third Prince and Prime Minister Yin?"

"Before the results of the interrogation come out, this king doesn't dare to judge rashly," Qin Wang said, "Judging from Uncle Nine Emperor's tone, it seems that you don't believe it?"

"Of course I don't believe it," said the Ninth Prince, "I know the temper of this second cousin best. He is most jealous and outspoken. It is absolutely impossible for him to collude with the enemy. He must be wronged."

Qin Wang smiled lightly: "I also hope that he is wronged, otherwise if something happens to him, Baili's family will be involved, and the emperor's grandmother will also be sad."

The Ninth Prince said: "Baili Wuhen said that he was framed by Gongyi Kejun..."

Before he finished speaking, King Qin's face darkened, and he said decisively: "This is impossible! There is no reason, why did Ke Yun go to the prison, Baili Wuhen has a deep hatred for Ke Yun because of Baili Feifei's death, He is simply framing Ke Yun, and dragging this king into the water by the way!"

The Ninth Prince carefully observed King Qin's expression. It seemed that he really didn't know about Gongyi Keyi's going to the prison, and he had great trust in Gongyi Keyi.

But the Ninth Prince didn't fully believe in King Qin's performance, and tried a few more words, but still didn't see the slightest clue. Turned into hostility towards rivals in love.

"This king suddenly remembered that there is still something to do. Let's discuss the counter-rebellion with Uncle Nine Emperors another day." King Qin dropped this sentence with a sullen face, and walked away.

The Ninth Prince squinted his eyes and looked at his back. In the face of the dispute between the crown princes, the King of Qin could not change his face, but when it came to Gongyi Keyun, Qin Wang couldn't hold back his anger. He really loved Gongyi Keyun. Is it heavy, or is it on purpose?
Then I thought that King Qin would not hesitate to turn against Baili's family for the sake of publicity. If it was a fake, the price he paid would be too high.

He was a little relieved of suspicion, boarded the horse led by his attendants, and went straight to the Gongyi Mansion.When it comes to Baili Wuhen, there is nothing doubtful about his open and honest visit.

Gongyi Keheng seemed to have expected him to come, but the servants at the door did not inform him, and led him directly to the gazebo in the back garden.

"Your Highness is just right, the tea has just boiled." Yingchu brewed the tea with tumbling boiling water, and pushed the teacup in front of the Ninth Prince, "This is the new tea sent by Prince Qin's mansion yesterday. I am not good at tea art, and I don't know how to make it Does the tea suit His Majesty's taste?"

"You are in a good mood, and you still have time to make tea." The Ninth Prince's tone was calm, as if he was just teasing casually.

Yingchu smiled slightly and said: "Knowing that His Highness is coming to Xingshi to inquire about crimes, I heard that His Highness likes good tea, so I can only make a fool of myself, His Highness Yibo smiled."

The Ninth Prince was originally full of annoyance and suspicion, but was miraculously soothed by her light words.He thought to himself that beauty deceives others, and said with a sullen face: "Since you know that I am here to Xingshi to inquire about crimes, you must have prepared an explanation. I will listen to your explanation for now."

Yingchu also suppressed the smile on his face, and said solemnly: "I also want to hear His Highness explain why Baili Wuhen knew about my going to the prison? How did he get in?"

The Ninth Prince frowned: "You doubt me?"

"Shouldn't I be suspicious?" Yingchu said coldly, "I went to the prison, and I took a great risk, but His Highness doesn't trust me. If you send someone to follow me, it's fine. Does Hen hate me to the bone? He jumped out at a critical moment and destroyed my plan, and I was almost murdered by him! According to my temperament, I would definitely let him die without a place to bury him, but he couldn’t It's not for His Highness's face, it's just that he was stunned. Now His Highness has come to ask me to blame him, who should I ask to settle the debt?"

The Ninth Prince was dumbfounded for a moment, obviously he was the one who lost, and being said by Gongyi Keying, it seemed that he owed her.

"I didn't send Baili Wuhen to follow you. As for how he knew, I don't know. I can assure you of this." The Ninth Prince said.

Yingchu looked at him carefully for a moment, and said: "It's not that I don't believe His Highness, maybe he accidentally discovered that I went to the prison, but how could he enter the prison without His Highness's arrangement?"

The Ninth Prince's eyes deepened. Even he didn't know how deeply the Baili family's roots had penetrated. "I will investigate this point, and I will give you an answer when I find out."

"Okay, I'll just trust His Highness for the time being." Yingchu said with a calm expression, "Your Highness, please try the tea I brewed, it will lose its flavor when it cools."

The Ninth Prince took a sip of the tea in front of him, and said with a smile: "Good tea! He also said that you are not good at tea art, even the master who specializes in tea making in my house may not be as good as you."

"Your Highness, don't be joking." Yingchu pursed her lips and smiled, "I don't know how much I am."

The Ninth Prince slowly sipped half a cup of tea, and then asked, "You said you were unconscious for Baili Wuhen, so do you know where the blood book on his body came from?"

"Blood book?" Yingchu asked suspiciously, "What blood book?"

"It was written by the third prince. You can get the token from Concubine Yin by holding the blood book." The Ninth Prince said coldly, "Without this blood book, the matter of Baili Wuhen's intrusion into the prison could have been easily exposed. , but with this blood letter, he has the suspicion of colluding with traitors, and the emperor is very suspicious now, I am afraid that he would rather kill by mistake than let him go."

If he can't clear up Baili Wuhen's suspicion and rescue him, not only will there be a gap between him and his eldest cousin, but he will also be suspected by his father, which will only cause trouble.

Yingchu frowned and said, "Before I left, there was absolutely no such bloody letter, so something must have happened after I left." She paused, doubting, "Baili Wuhen fell outside the cell at that time, Could it be that the Ninth Prince deliberately wrote a blood book and stuffed it on him to frame you, Your Highness?"

If it was changed to Yingchu's explanation before, the Ninth Prince would definitely not believe it, but after Yingchu was the first to question him, the Ninth Prince's suspicion of her had eased a lot, and he hardly doubted her words.

The Ninth Prince said: "The blood book was written by the Third Prince. He must be involved, but I have a hunch that things are not that simple. Maybe there are other people's handwriting, such as the King of Qin."

"You suspect that King Qin colluded with the third prince?" Yingchu shook his head, "It's impossible, how could he do such a stupid thing!"

"If it's just a short-term cooperation to deal with me together, King Qin may not agree." The Ninth Prince said, "If it were me, I would also consider it."

Yingchu showed deep thought, and said: "If Your Highness has any doubts, I will try to test King Qin. But the most important thing now is not to find out who is behind the scenes, but how to rescue Baili Wuhen."
