The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort

Chapter 534 Death (4)

When Queen Mother Yide heard this, she immediately reprimanded: "Xia Qing, do you know what you said in front of Ai's family!"

"Cao Min dare not lie to the Empress Dowager. When Cao Min checked the dragon's body for His Majesty, he found that His Majesty had been poisoned. This poison is not uncommon, but it is mixed with His Majesty's original illness, so it is not easy to be discovered. If all the imperial physicians are serious Check it out, you will be able to see the clue."

All the imperial physicians looked at each other, they really did not check the emperor's body, how could everyone touch the dead dragon body.What's more, with what Xia Qing said before, everyone knew that the emperor's body was already failing. The imperial physicians were always conservative in their work, and the most important thing was to be wise and protect one's life. How could he think of this.Empress Dowager Yide's expression moved slightly, and then she touched the ruby ​​armor on her finger, and said sharply: "Check!"

Several imperial physicians immediately obeyed the order, and after a while, the remaining imperial physicians came out from the sleeping hall, their faces were also very ugly, and some sweat even appeared on their foreheads.Seeing Empress Dowager Yide, she tremblingly said: "Reporting to Empress Dowager, Doctor Xia is right, Your Majesty has indeed been poisoned. And the poison is still new, it should have been swallowed not long ago, but the poison is too strong, so... "

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked!The eyes fell on Dong Ying'er involuntarily. Dong Ying'er was responsible for taking care of the emperor's daily life. If something went wrong, he was naturally the first to attract everyone's attention.Dong Ying'er was also taken aback, and said: "No...it's not me, the medicine I gave His Majesty was cooked in the medicinal kitchen." She looked panic-stricken, and it seemed impossible, just because the palace is used to it. There are always a lot of people who can act, who knows if it is true?

"Grandmother, look..." Ye Li took a step forward, with just the right amount of anger on his sad face: "Father, the emperor was murdered like this. This person has committed a heinous crime. We must find it out and never let it go!"

Empress Dowager Yide didn't speak, her eyes stopped for a while on Ye Pei, Ye Pei's expression was very calm.Empress Dowager Yide slowly withdrew her hand touching the armor, and said lightly: "Check, check the whole palace thoroughly!"

……

At the moment when Dongfang Tian dawned, Xiao Shao stood with his hands behind his back, standing in front of the window, looking into the distance and wondering what he was thinking.Butler Lin silently put on a robe for him, and said in a low voice: "My lord, it's time for you to enter the palace." "

The news of the emperor's death spread to Prince Jinying's mansion almost immediately, but Xiao Shao didn't get up and go to the palace immediately.Naturally, all the officials in the capital began to worry about what might happen in the future because of this sudden news.There were no carriages stopping at the gate of Prince Jinying's mansion, and there were no guests in the house. Prince Jinying's mansion was very quiet, and their master sat in the study all night.

Even though Butler Lin has taken care of Xiao Shao for so many years, sometimes, Butler Lin can't see what Xiao Shao is thinking.For example, at this moment, is there a trace of sadness in Xiao Shao's heart?He doesn't know either.Probably there are still some, after all, they are their relatives who are related by blood.That person has been trying to compensate Xiao Shao for so many years, even if Xiao Shao did something out of line, he just turned a blind eye to it.

Xiao Shao didn't know what was going on in Butler Lin's mind, but he knew that the moment the emperor died, there was no big disturbance in his heart.All this had been expected long ago, the emperor was just a stranger to him.For the former Prince Hongxi and Xiang Xiaoyuan, Xiao Shao has never met, but for the old King Jinying and his wife, Xiao Shao was raised by them since they were young, and naturally has a deep affection.All of this was ruined by the emperor. Speaking of which, he should be hated.

It's just that Xiao Shao doesn't even have the emotion of "hate". For Dongyi country, he wants to drive them all to death.Because it's something he can do.In his life, he seemed to have no purpose, and he didn't know the meaning of walking alone.Perhaps taking over Jinyiwei, avenging Prince Hongxi and Xiang Xiaoyuan is the meaning of his life.So he did exactly that, disregarding his own life and death, treating his own life indifferently, and lived alone until he met Jiang Ruan.

That may be another meaning of his life, that woman is fresh and different from others, she did not know when she caught his attention.In the end, it was also confirmed that they had met each other in the previous life, and the fate of God had always been there.Maybe it's a pity that they missed it in their previous life, so they gave Jiang Ruan a chance to start over.He didn't want Jiang Ruan to repeat the same mistakes, so he wanted to protect this woman with his whole life.

But now, everything Jiang Ruan did was based on anticipating what happened today.Xiao Shao's heart was very calm, his eyes didn't even fluctuate, and there was no warmth on his face.

"Ye Li is about to make a move." Xiao Shao said suddenly.Butler Lin was taken aback by this nonsensical sentence, and looked at his master in confusion.Although Xiao Shao is indifferent, what does it mean to say something that has nothing to do with the death of the emperor.

"It will be done soon." Soon, Jiang Ruan will be available.Xiao Shao didn't continue talking, and walked out the door slowly wearing the robe given by Lin Butler.Steward Tuliu Lin stood there alone.

Although there was no sunlight in the morning, butler Lin's face was reflected very clearly. If you look carefully, you can find that the traces on that ravine face have faded a lot at this moment. A person's appearance can change, but When the white hair that proves the years has quietly turned black, and the wrinkles have gradually faded, youth makes the whole face look like another person.

Butler Lin, who had a strange face on his face, was stunned for a moment, and shook his head with a smile, then sighed again, and said: "The old general will go out, the old general will go out, and it's my turn to be a suave veteran."

……

The news of the emperor's death spread like flying all over the capital, and the people were panic-stricken. In this spring season, the real dragon emperor of the Dajin Dynasty returned here, leaving behind an undecided candidate for the heir. With all his plans, he has to bet on an unknown future with all his wealth.

Zhao Jin looked at his second brother worriedly, and said, "Second brother, your Majesty is like this, what is the current situation in the court?" The future crown prince is always an unresolved issue, and the sudden death of the emperor makes people feel even more worried. Surprisingly, before this, the emperor had never expressed any intention of making a prince.Before the emperor fell ill, the crown prince had already been abolished, and he should have been established earlier, but the emperor did not make any action for a long time, as if he was watching something.This is understandable, after all, the eighth prince Ye Li has always been excellent, but he has a concubine Chen Guifei who is holding him back, and the thirteenth prince, a rising star, has already shown his cleverness, but suffers from the lack of strong support from his mother's family.These two people's talents and skills in governing the world are not bad, but it is a bit embarrassing to really pick one out.

It's just that the emperor waited and watched, but he probably didn't expect that he would fall ill so quickly.And after falling ill, he never regained consciousness, and until he passed away, he had no chance to be a candidate for the crown prince again.Seizing the heir apparent was something that everyone knew would happen, but without an imperial decree, it would only make things more chaotic and the fight more intense.
