Chapter 54 Poisoning--

This is a woman, about 30 years old, with several scars on her dirty face, which looks ferocious and out of place. Shen Sirong looked at her. Her eyes were raised and very clear, like the purest springs in the two corners. The cleanliness was too different from her appearance.

Hurry to look at each other, the woman ran away. Shen Sirong did not chase. Looking at the unstoppable thinness under the shabby clothes, his doubts became deeper and deeper.

"Let's go." Slowly walking to the gate of the palace and peeking at Lanxi from time to time, Shen Sirong pulled out a smile and whispered.

Lanxi tiptoed and looked behind Shen Sirong, but it was empty. She couldn't help frowning and asked coquettishly, "Sister-in-law, what about that man? What did you say?

"I want to ask who she is? Unexpectedly, she ran away, and I didn't dare to approach for fear of being hurt. Shen Sirong explained faintly, and there was no vision on his face.

Lanxi thought about it, nodded, and then pulled Shen Sirong's hand with a panic face: "This place is too weird. Let's not come, or tell the royal brother? Let him bring someone to arrest this man."

Before the waved hand fell, Shen Sirong grabbed it: "Shh... whisper, this person doesn't know where he came from, but he hasn't heard anything about what happened in the palace. It's better. Let's not come again. We don't know how to arrange us after being seen it."

Shen Sirong said patiently that this person is still unknown, but she always feels that this person has some secrets. And it is very important.

Lanxi answered. Maybe he felt that Shen Sirong was reasonable and immediately stopped talking about Fengming Palace.

...split...this should be the content of the previous chapter...I haven't finished it before...

Xiao Ze's illness has improved, and the focus of political affairs has shifted to Xiao Yuanqi, but he is idle and wanders around the palace. On this day, on holidays, Xiao Ze was mentioned by Guo Guanghai and became interested in going to the East Palace to play against Xiao Yuanqi. Speaking of the chess skills of the two of them, winning or losing is only halfway.

Not long after Xiao Ze arrived at Feixia Hall, Xiao Yuanqi came in with Shen Sirong. Shen Sirong saluted and sat aside, watching the two of them play chess in front of him.

This is the first time Shen Sirong saw the two play against each other and was fascinated. That chess game seemed to be the layout of the battlefield. She looked carefully, and the two of them were very murderous. Every time a child falls and every step is taken, the murderous intention is above the chessboard. Shen Sirong asked himself that his chess skills were not bad, but looking at the dark soldiers on the chessboard, he also suddenly felt that this was the battle for masters.

"Haha, I won." After an inventory, Xiao Ze defeated Xiao Yuanqi's half son. Xiao Yuanqi smiled calmly: "My father is very skilled, and my son is ashamed."

Xiao Ze smiled and ordered someone to clean up the disk. The two wanted to do it again. Before Xiao Yuanqi fell into his first son, Ruolan's begging voice came from outside the door.

"My concubine, please see the emperor and your highness." Ruolan's Zhaoxun identity can't be called his daughter-in-law, nor can he call Xiao Ze's father.

Xiao Ze was a little unhappy, but still called her in. Shen Sirong felt a look condensed on her body from the sound of her voice, which stimulated her cold hair.

"What are you doing here?" Xiao Yuanqi asked in a calm voice.

"I heard that Your Highness was busy for several days without rest, so I went to pick the morning dew at night. Well, I made a pot of spring tea to relieve His Highness's fatigue."

Ruolan took a transparent jasper pot from the hand of the maid of honor behind her. The pot was transparent, and she could also see the floating tea leaves stretching inside.

Seeing that Xiao Ze and Xiao Yuanqi had no response, Ruolan looked a little nervous.

"It's rare for you to have a heart, but come and give me a taste." Xiao Ze finished speaking coldly and fell the first son.

A trace of joy flowed on Ruolan's face. She put the pot she had just taken from the stove on the side of the chessboard and elegantly poured four cups of tea into the matching jasper cup.

Xiao Ze was about to take it when Guo Guanghai stopped him and said, "Your Majesty, let the slaves taste it first."

As soon as Guo's words came out, the hall suddenly became silent. Shen Sirong crossed Xiao Yuanqi's back and looked at Xiao Ze, and Xiao Ze returned to her with deep meaning.

"Lan Zhaoxun is also a member of my royal family. There is no need to care so much." After saying that, Xiao Ze shook his sleeves embroidered with dark yellow dragon patterns, picked up the teacup and smelled it under his nose, and then tasted it carefully.

"Well, it's really a good tea, and it's fragrant. The prince also tried it.

After Xiao Ze finished speaking, Shen Sirong and Xiao Yuanqi both changed their faces. Xiao Yuanqi took the other cup raised by Xiao Ze and drank it up. Shen Sirong was also ready to take a cup. Xiao Ze raised his hand to straighten his sleeves, but after the sleeves, he gave Shen Sirong an inexplicable look. Shen Sirong dared not move again. Shen Sirong's cup of tea was picked up by Xiao Ze, turned around and put down in his hand.

Ruolan saw Xiao Ze's praise, and her face was full of joy. The moment she lowered her face, the storm turned around.

"Ah..." A fierce roar made people's hair stand on end, and then the "Father" made Shen Sirong feel pain in his heart. The father was shouted by Xiao Yuanqi, and Shen Sirong heard his awkward and painful voice for the first time. She stood up and quickly approached. Xiao Yuanqi had already pushed away Ruolan, who was in the middle, and ran to Xiao Ze. Xiao Ze's eyes were round, and his cheeks trembled. Black and red blood flowed from the corners of his mouth and nose, dripping on the bright yellow dragon robe, which was dazzling and frightening.

After that, Shen Sirong reacted to Guo Guanghai.

"Come on, escort." Before the sharp voice fell, the guards of the imperial army entered the palace in chaos.

"Eunuch Guo, guard the exits of the East Palace and invited the imperial doctor to come over and keep quiet. In addition, no one in this hall is allowed to go out. Shen Sirong tried to calm herself down. She stood in front of Xiao Ze and didn't let the guards see Xiao Ze's situation clearly. Xiao Yuanqi also knew that she could not be chaotic at this time. He shouted a string of orders and held a hand handed out by Shen Sirong from behind.

Soon, the imperial doctor was transmitted to the East Palace on the grounds of the recurrence of the old disease of the emperor, and the guards were also guarding at the door, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

"His Royal Highness, the emperor has been poisoned." The imperial doctor knelt down tremblingly and dared not raise his head on the ground.

"Poisoned?"

Xiao Yuanqi stared at the cups of tea on the table and put Xiao Ze on the soft couch: "Go and check whether the tea is poisonous." When Ruolan heard Xiao Yuanqi's words, she suddenly raised her head and her face was full of grievances, as if she was accusing Xiao Yuanqi of her suspicion. Her eyes were about to drip out of water, and even Shen Sirong's heart trembled. Xiao Yuanqi turned his cold eyes away and just waited for the result.

When the imperial doctor saw Xiao Yuan's inspirational words, his heart was very important and he dared not neglect him at all. He carefully examined the jasper teapot and the tea in four cups. He frowned tightly: "Your Highness, there is no problem with the tea in this pot."

Just as Ruolan was about to turn to laugh, the royal doctor continued, "But the tea on this table is indeed two cups of poisonous and two cups of non-toxic."

"What?" Xiao Yuanqi roared.

"Impossible." Ruolan also opened her mouth to defend herself.

The imperial doctor stepped back a little, and someone immediately came up to catch Ruolan.

"Thus, why are two cups poisonous and two cups non-toxic?" Shen Sirong looked at the tea set on the table and asked puzzledly.

The imperial doctor bowed: "Return to the crown princess, I have carefully checked the tea stains, and the tea the emperor drank is indeed poisonous. And the glass your Highness drank is non-toxic, and the remaining two unmoved cups are poisonous and the other is non-toxic.

"Show me." Shen Sirong's heart was like a kitten, scratching out some faint uneasiness.

Sure enough, as Shen Sirong expected, her cup was poisonous. Fortunately, Xiao Ze's glance made her not drink it. I don't know if it's an illusion, Xiao Yuanqi looked at her with a trace of happiness.

Ruolan was pressed into the dark prison in the palace and waited for review. Xiao Ze was secretly sent back to Shangyang Palace, but there was no impenetrable wall in the world. Soon, after being stopped several times, she didn't know where to find a message.

While Xiao Yuanqi went to the court, Concubine Shu united with the deputy commander of the forbidden army in the palace and broke into Shangyang Palace in the name of escort. The emperor's poisoning was officially put on the table.

In the court, Xiao Yuanqi failed to return to the East Palace, but was blocked by the minister of the Wang family in the Chongzheng Hall.

"Your Highness, I am very concerned about the safety of the emperor. Can I meet the emperor?" Wang Chu asked worriedly, and the inverted eyebrows made the worry more real.

Xiao Yuanqi smiled faintly: "My father is fine, but the disease has not been eradicated, so I just need to rest."

"Recuperation? Can't I see it?" Concubine Shu's voice came from the door of the palace. The ministers were originally from the Wang family, so they were naturally very respectful.

Xiao Yuanqi raised his eyebrows with a smile and looked at Concubine Shu in a royal dress: "Why did Concubine Shu come here?"

Shufei did not hide her hostility to Xiao Yuanqi. She snorted coldly and stood aside. Behind her was the royal doctor who treated Xiao Ze.

Looking at Xiao Yuanqi's pale face, Shufei proudly raised her jaw and said to the courtiers, "I think the emperor's illness is strange. Even if I am sick, can't I visit him? Knowing that the situation was different, the palace was worried about the emperor's dragon body and ordered the imperial army to break into the Yang Palace and find the imperial doctor. The imperial doctor was to see the emperor. Naturally, he could not be wrong. The emperor was obviously poisoned by the thief and poisoned.

"Ah?" The ministers all took a deep breath. What's the matter with the emperor's poisoning? The prince actually hid it.

Seeing that the reaction of the ministers was under control, and Xiao Yuanqi had nothing to tell: "Moreover, when the emperor was poisoned, it was with the prince. They drank the same pot of tea. The prince's cup was non-toxic, but the emperor was poisoned. Prince, prince, you are so cruel that you can also do something to your father. The emperor is no longer there, and you are the king of a country. Can't you even wait for a short time?

Concubine said that the atmosphere between the ministers became strange, and the accusations were depicting a conspiracy to usurp the throne.
