The sick prince is not easy to mess with

Chapter 53 A Glass of Poisonous Wine

Su Yunjin's face was extremely gloomy. After returning to the mansion, she remained silent for several days. Ming Daming was like walking on ice, and she hardly dared to breathe in front of him. Even the crown prince was stopped outside the door when he visited.

Su Yunjin had already told the prince that Mofeng was the secret agent of the python clan, and the prince came here to discuss with him how to deal with the python clan. Mofeng disappeared without a trace after that night, and the prince sent people to investigate everywhere his whereabouts.

When Mo Xuan'er was questioned, she was shocked, she made a poisonous oath that she didn't know Mo Feng's real identity, the prince finally believed her, but there was still a suspicion in her heart, and now she almost never stepped into her room .

Mo Xuan'er really didn't know that Mo Feng was a member of the python clan. This man worked as a driver in the Mo Mansion more than ten years ago. He watched her grow up these years and treated her better than her biological father. Now that he is a secret agent, she Even more unacceptable than the prince, lying on the bed and crying all night!
Mo Feng was indeed worried about Mo Xuan'er, fearing that the prince would take his anger on her, so he sneaked back to the prince's mansion to see her after her injury recovered, but was almost caught by the prince's net, and managed to escape with a broken leg.

On the next day, after a long secret talk with the prince, the emperor finally breathed his last breath.

On that day, the dull death knell rang in the palace, and the news of the emperor's death quickly spread throughout Xizhao. The courtiers mourned unceasingly, and the cries of the women in the harem continued for a long time.

Three days later, the crown prince Xie Yan officially ascended the throne, and on that day, following the old emperor's last words, secretly bestowed a cup of poisoned wine on Dingguo Gong Huazheng.

When the eunuch delivering the decree delivered the poisoned wine to Hua Zheng, his heart that had been hanging for a long time unexpectedly calmed down strangely, as if he had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and this scene had been played out countless times in his heart.

Drinking this glass of wine is also a relief.

It's just that it's a pity that Hua Xiyue, in his life, he deserves nothing to be ashamed of the world, the king, and the only one who is ashamed...is this daughter.

He only hoped that Hua Xiyue would never return to the capital again, and that from now on, the sky would be high and the sea wide, joyful and peaceful.

The guards of Duke Ding watched helplessly as he drank the poisoned wine, his seven orifices bled and fell to the ground, his eyes were red and he wanted to draw his sword to rush out, but they tried their best to hold back. They had promised Duke Ding that if this day really came , must not act rashly, otherwise it will only implicate more people.

It's only because Ding Guogong didn't know how to hide his clumsiness in his early years, he showed his sharpness, his disciples were everywhere, he had a high prestige, and he knew the secrets of the old emperor when he was in power. Although he has restrained himself and kept a low profile these years, the old emperor is still worried. He is dying. You have to take him with you!
When Hua Jinci was released by his servants and arrived after hearing the news, he saw the scene that made his eyes tear open. He rushed over and hugged Ding Guogong who had died and howled earth-shatteringly.

The eunuch who passed the decree twitched his eyelids, ignored the murderous eyes of the guards and servants, walked up to Duke Ding with his chin up, pushed Hua Jinci, and said in a high-pitched voice, "Get up!"

Hua Jinci burst into tears, and said viciously, "You dead eunuch, what else do you want, if you dare to touch my father again, I will kill you!"

The eunuch knew his virtues, snorted coldly and didn't bother to argue with him, poured a bright white pill from the porcelain bottle in his sleeve, pinched Duke Ding's chin and stuffed it into his mouth with lightning speed.

The pill melted in his mouth, and when Hua Jinci reacted and put his hand into his father's mouth to take it out, the pill had turned into milky white juice and left down his throat. Hua Jinci was so angry that he got up and wrestled with the eunuch, hands and feet If you can't beat them, you can chew them with your mouth. For a while, the room is in chaos, and the sound of crying, beating and scolding can't stop.

"...cough cough!"

Suddenly, a hoarse cough sounded, and all the sounds stopped abruptly. Everyone stopped their movements and stared at the person who was bleeding from all the orifices and should have died, all with expressions like hell.

Hua Jinci was the first to react, rushed to hug Duke Dingguo and howled, "Father, are you still alive?" After listening to his heartbeat, he said with a sigh of relief, "I was scared to death, you obviously didn't die just now. You're out of breath, are you bluffing a corpse to scare people?"

Hua Zheng rolled his eyes weakly, looking very disgusted and didn't want to see Hua Jinci, and looked at the eunuch with a complicated expression, as if waiting for him to explain.

The eunuch covered the wound on his face that was scratched by Hua Jinci, glared at Hua Jinci, turned his face straight and looked at Hua Zheng, pointing out, "This poisonous wine was given by the late emperor, the emperor himself It is necessary to obey, but the emperor thought of the friendship with Ling Ai Hua Xiyue, and couldn't bear it, so he specially gave a detoxification pill, although it can't completely remove the poison, but it can save life, and Ding Guogong will stay at home from now on Take care of yourself, don't worry about it any more!"

The detoxification pill is extremely precious, it is refined from several kinds of rare medicinal materials, and there are only a few in the palace.

With Hua Jinci's support, Hua Zheng stood up and knelt down to thank him, feeling really mixed.

It was because of Hua Xiyue that he escaped the catastrophe and regained his life.

Duke Ding, who had always been cold-hearted, calm and reserved, was in tears at the moment he leaned over.

Since then, Ding Guogong has withdrawn from the court. Although he retained his title, he no longer has real power.

It has been seven days since Hua Xiaoli heard about this incident. At that time, she was going south with Bai Fu, stopping and going, traveling around mountains and rivers, and fighting for justice at the same time.

Whether Ding Guogong is dead or alive, she hasn't caused any splashes in her heart, but thinking that he is alive, her cheap brother still has someone to rely on, and she feels relieved.

It's late autumn, and the maple leaf grove at the foot of Yannan Mountain is as red as fire, which complements the fiery red clouds in the sky. The scenery is as beautiful as a picture scroll.

Hua Xiaoli lay on his back on the grass covered with maple leaves, looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him leisurely, feeling extremely at ease.

Not far away, Bai Fu stood under the maple tree in a frosty white robe, holding a jade flute and playing a song hummed by Hua Xiaoli, which seemed to be a wonder in the picture scroll.

Er Mao was grazing beside the two of them, wiggling his ears happily from time to time, and let out a coquettish donkey bray.

Hua Xiaoli was excited when he heard it, and took out a pack of snacks from the Ermao bag, and just after eating a few, he saw a small fluffy head popping out of Bai Fu's arms, it was actually a little sparrow.

The little sparrow paired the bright eyes of the little raccoon on the flower, and immediately retracted its head in fright.

Bai Fu put away the jade flute, touched the bird's head, and smiled helplessly at the little raccoon, "Little raccoon, this can't be eaten, it's still a baby bird, it doesn't have much meat..."

Hua Xiaoli snorted, touched his flat stomach and muttered, "I haven't eaten meat for many days, and you won't let me eat wild game. No matter how much money I save, I'm going to run out of money. What should I do next?"
