Zhao Bairen's sudden onset of illness immediately caused everyone in Shuiyue Palace to panic. Zhao Hanqing was stunned for a moment, then immediately rushed forward, supported Zhao Bairen, felt his pulse and then his heart pulse with his hand. .
Zhao Lie was confused by this sudden change. According to his plan, even if the prince came to stop him in person today, he was absolutely sure that the prince would not be able to take advantage of him!
At least this murderous case will definitely have a great impact on the prince's status and prestige!
But... Zhao Bairen suddenly fell down!
This immediately disrupted Zhao Liexian's plan!
Zhao Liexian reacted immediately and shouted loudly: "Imperial Physician, call the Imperial Physician quickly!!"
The other maids in the palace were also at a loss. Concubine Ming rushed forward and grabbed Zhao Bairen. After looking at his appearance, she screamed: "Come here, come quickly!! Imperial doctor, please call imperial physician!" !!”
As she spoke, she shook Zhao Bairen vigorously and cried loudly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, wake up, don't scare me!"
Zhao Liexian's plan was completely interrupted at this time. He was filled with hatred in his heart. He stepped forward and pulled Concubine Ming away and said angrily: "If it weren't for you, a charming concubine and a beautiful woman, who brought trouble to the harem, how could my father do this? "
Concubine Ming obviously did not expect that Zhao Liexian, who was usually gentle and charming, would suddenly attack her. She was stunned for a moment and looked at Zhao Liexian with her mouth open, speechless for a long time.
Zhao Hanqing immediately turned around and scolded Zhao Liexian: "Fourth brother!! Don't be so presumptuous!! Pay attention to your identity!!"
Obviously, Concubine Ming is the most beloved concubine of Emperor Zhao Bairen. In name, she is their "mother" figure. In any case, Zhao Liexian's actions and words are extremely inappropriate.
Zhao Liexian also reacted quickly. He let go of his hand bitterly and said through gritted teeth: "If my father has any shortcomings, just wait and be buried with him!!"
If Zhao Bairen dies at this time, no matter from which point of view, no matter from which principle, Zhao Hanqing is the most legitimate and reasonable successor. It is a matter of course that he succeeds the throne and ascends the throne as emperor.
If Zhao Liexian objects, it will be tantamount to treason. Unless he raises an army to rebel, then his attempt to seize the throne will end in a complete disastrous defeat.
But if there is a rebellion... Zhao Liexian's own family knows about his family affairs. In addition to the strong support of his spiritual sect, the support from the military is much weaker than that of the prince.
Because one of the two great white jade pillars in the Da Qi military world: Southeast King Long Tenghai, was the prince’s best friend since childhood!
Although the power of the spiritual world is powerful, there is an unwritten unspoken rule in the spiritual world: that is, the spiritual world will not participate in political battles, palace battles, and will not be involved in any rebellion or rebellion, even in the world. In several battles for the inheritance of the divine sect, the prince they chose was obviously at a disadvantage. Even when the inheritance failed, they did not intervene.
Because once you intervene, you will violate the rules and taboos that practitioners are not allowed to interfere with the royal family. The world's spiritual practice community will think that this sect has the ambition to control the royal family and then dominate the world!
Therefore, the spiritual world can help the fourth prince seize the throne, but it is absolutely impossible to help him plot rebellion.
Therefore, the person who absolutely does not want Zhao Bairen to die at this time is not the prince Zhao Hanqing who always measures himself by the saint's standard of loyalty and filial piety, but the fourth prince Ping Wang Zhao Liexian!
Zhao Hanqing first scolded Zhao Lie to step back first, then he bowed to Concubine Ming and said: "Concubine Ming, please don't panic, the imperial doctor will be here soon..."
Concubine Ming came back to her senses at this time, and she suddenly said: "Yes, yes, let the big teapot come, it must be his medicine that harmed your majesty's dragon body!"
These words immediately transferred the hatred and conflicts. As expected, Zhao Liexian and Zhao Hanqing had strong anger in their eyes. Zhao Hanqing said in a deep voice to the eunuch beside him: "Go and summon Zheng Jidai!"
The eunuch immediately accepted the order and ran away.
Not long after, the imperial doctor hurried over with a medicine box. He didn't care that he was sweating profusely. He first felt Zhao Bairen's pulse, and then opened his eyelids to look at him.
Zhao Liexian asked extremely nervously: "Mr. Sun, you are a national player. How is your Majesty's dragon body?"
Imperial Physician Sun said worriedly: "Your Majesty's heart is weak, his nose is red, his hall is black, and there are dark scars on his eyelids... These are symptoms of overdose after long-term use of pills!"
Zhao Liexian immediately cursed: "I knew this monster had bad intentions and was causing harm to the country and the people! It's a medicine that is three parts poison. How can this kind of elixir..."
Before he finished speaking, a voice suddenly came from outside: "My medicine is the best elixir in the world. Your Majesty will never have such symptoms after taking it!"
Everyone turned around and saw Zheng Ze, the big teapot at the altar of the Ministry of Etiquette, stepping in under the escort of his left and right guards.
But even though he was being escorted, the big teapot looked calm and walked in as if there was no one else around. Regardless of whether there was a summons from the prince, he walked straight to the bed to check on Zhao Bairen's condition.
Zhao Lie was so angry that he stretched out his hand to stop him and said angrily: "You monster! Do you still want to confuse the public with your evil words! Come on, take him down!!"
The big teapot glanced sideways at him, smiled slightly, and said: "Does the Fourth Highness want to save His Majesty, or does one want to harm His Majesty?"
This sentence was so powerful that Zhao Liexian immediately paused and glanced at the prince subconsciously. Zhao Hanqing suppressed his anger and said, "Haven't you hurt my father enough?"
The big teapot put his hands behind his back and said: "If you want His Majesty to die, you can put me in prison and cut me into pieces! But if you really want to save Your Majesty, then you must let me take a look!"
Zhao Hanqing hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "If you don't think well, I will kill all nine of your tribes!"
The big teapot laughed loudly and said: "Prince, there is no need to be like this. I am a widower and a lonely person. Not to mention the nine tribes, there is no one!"
Zhao Hanqing sneered and got out of the way, saying: "If you can't cure my father, you will definitely regret coming to this world!"
The big teapot smiled slightly, not taking this threat seriously at all. He walked to the dragon bed with his hands behind his back, first felt the emperor's pulse, then touched his heart, and then took out a silver needle and inserted it into his lower abdomen. One needle was taken from the Dantian and the liver and kidneys on both waists.
The big teapot looked at the slightly blackened tip of the silver needle. He squinted at the imperial doctor and said, "Physician Fang, why don't you dare to tell the truth?"
The imperial doctor was an old doctor, but in front of the big teapot, he lowered his head and did not dare to look up at him. He just kept wiping his cold sweat and mumbled: "I... I have little talent and little knowledge, and I am not as good as Zheng Jitai, a national player..."
Zhao Hanqing on the side couldn't help but asked: "What exactly is going on?"
The big teapot sneered again and again, looked sideways at the two princes, and said: "Your Majesty... this is a sign of poisoning!"
Zhao Liexian immediately clapped his hands and said with an angry smile: "Okay, if there is a road to heaven, you don't take it, and if there is no door to hell, you break in! Since you didn't bring it upon yourself, that's good! Come on, come on, catch this monster." Go to jail! How dare you murder my father! I will definitely cut you into pieces!!"
The big teapot sneered and said: "Fourth Prince, if it was me who poisoned you, or if His Majesty was poisoned by eating my elixir, then am I so stupid that I would say this?"
Zhao Liexian sneered and said: "What's the difference between telling and not telling? My father took your elixir for many days before he had the poisonous attack today! You still want to quibble!"
The big teapot said calmly: "Oh? It just so happens that there is someone who can testify about this!" After saying that, he looked at the chief manager and said: "General manager, you have been watching with your own eyes. Every time I take the medicine, I Is it necessary to divide an identical elixir into two halves, half for His Majesty to take, and half for you to take?"
Although this chief steward was usually very powerful and blazing in the palace, here, he could only answer cautiously with his tail between his legs: "That's exactly it!"
The big teapot asked again: "Does the chief manager feel any physical discomfort?"
The Grand Steward shook his head and said: "On the contrary, since I took the Grand Steward's elixir, my body is healthy and strong, far better than before!"
Zhao Liexian said angrily: "Bullshit! My father took pills and overindulged in sexual desire, which is why it has such evil consequences! You should show me your f*cking indulgence!"
The eunuchs and maids on the side immediately lowered their heads and tried to hold back their laughter. The chief steward, Eunuch Huang, forced a smile and said, "The fourth prince is joking..."
The big teapot curled his lips and said: "The elixir I concocted is absolutely not poisonous. Even if Your Majesty is a little excessive, it will never be like this!"
Zhao Hanqing immediately asked: "Then what do you mean..."
The big teapot glanced at everyone in the palace coldly, and said in a sinister tone: "Hmph... Isn't this simple? There... someone in this palace has been poisoning for a long time and is plotting to kill Your Majesty!!"
This sentence was so shocking that everyone's scalps almost exploded and their hair stood on end!
