The crying in Shuiyue Palace was disturbing, but no one dared to speak. All the maids, eunuchs and guards were watching, bowing their heads and pretending to be dead.
Only the big teapot looked sideways at Concubine Ming, and said with a half-smile: "Oh, Concubine Ming's words are too much. How can anyone bully you here? If you say it, I will be the first to let him go!"
Concubine Ming was crying, but she just grabbed Zhao Bairen's sleeves and wouldn't let go. When everyone was secretly upset, a loud shout suddenly came from the side: "That's enough!"
Concubine Ming was so frightened that she stopped crying. Everyone turned around and saw that Zhao Liexian's eyes were bloodshot. He clenched his fists, his face flushed, and his eyes were fixed on the red pill in the big teapot's hand.
Zhao Lie took two steps forward, stared at the big teapot, and said through gritted teeth: "Zheng Jidai! Can you guarantee that your medicine will be effective?"
The big teapot smiled slightly and asked: "Will Prince Ping make fun of his own head?"
The two people looked at each other, one with eyes like a knife and breath like an ox, the other with eyes like lightning and a calm smile. After a while, Zhao Lie turned to look at the prince Zhao Hanqing. He sneered and said: "Third brother, I’m going to take this gamble, what do you think?”
Zhao Hanqing's back was dripping with sweat. He felt that he had experienced so many storms and waves in his life. Even when he was attacked by two demons, he had never felt so embarrassed and struggled!
The current situation is that if he agrees, then the blame will fall on him! When problems arise, Zhao Liexian can use this matter to directly question the legitimacy of the crown prince's succession, thereby causing waves and launching public attacks and sieges against the crown prince. Once the waves are stirred up, what awaits Daqi is a civil war that divides Daqi. !
But if he doesn't agree, then he will be even more in danger!
What if by chance, the emperor comes back to life
If the emperor really comes back to life, it means that the medicine in the big teapot is useful! And what would Zhao Bairen think when he learned that his prince had prevented him from using medicine to treat him
Does your prince wish that I would die quickly so that I could inherit this position
Is this the wise prince who is famous for his loyalty and filial piety, and who is famous for his sage
What era is this? This is the era when filial piety comes first! Although a person is evil, if he is filial, he will be good even though he is evil; although a person is good, if he is unfilial, he will be evil even though he is good!
If the prince is unfilial, no matter how virtuous and wise he is, he is not qualified to succeed to the throne!
All scholars in the world will rise up against him!
Therefore, for the prince, the best situation at the moment is: this emperor had better die immediately!
However, this seriously conflicts with the prince's benevolent and filial character!
For a moment, there was a battle between heaven and man in the prince's mind, and a demon seemed to come out, trying desperately to confuse him: This is a foolish king! If he were in power, the situation in Daqi would be even worse! If we delay this for a few more years, it will be difficult for Daqi to recover from its shortcomings, so all bets are off!
But there are some things that everyone can understand instantly without the prince actually saying it, because the prince hesitated at this moment!
Even a blind man could see his struggle!
Zhao Liexian immediately sneered and said, "That's right. After all, third brother is waiting for my father to die so that you can ascend the throne!"
This sentence is too heart-breaking and too cruel! So much so that the eunuchs, maids and guards in the hall all looked horrified and wished they could disappear immediately.
But... without an adult's order, who would dare to move at all
At this time, all of them lowered their heads and did not dare to take a breath. They wished that there was a crack in the ground that they could get through!
It is said that practicing fighting skills is the most dangerous and unpredictable!
But how many people in the world know that the struggle between people's hearts and power in the palace is even more dangerous and terrifying!
A few light words can make people live or die!
When Zhao Hanqing heard this, he immediately shouted sharply: "Prince Ping! What do you mean by this! If my father can wake up safely, I will be willing to eat fast and worship God for the rest of my life, even if I don't need the position of prince! In these critical moments, are you there? What’s the purpose of sowing discord and making irresponsible remarks here!”
Zhao Lie first stared at Zhao Hanqing. He was like a gambler who entered the game suddenly rich but lost instantly, holding the last chip in his hand. He gritted his teeth and sneered: "Prince, what are you thinking? I know best! I will make the decision for my father to take this medicine today! If you want to stop me, then you have to do whatever you want! But don’t forget, our Daqi is based on filial piety!!"
Zhao Hanqing's face was ashen and he said: "Prince Ping, you have also thought about it. If you take this medicine, it will save your majesty. It will be good, but if you cannot save your majesty, you will be a sinner of Daqi. You will extirpate yourself from the royal family and annihilate yourself." In the world!"
Zhao Liexian gritted his teeth and said with a grim smile: "Then it depends on who among us is to secede from the royal family and secede from the world!"
After saying that, Zhao Lie turned around and fed the red pill to Emperor Zhao Bairen's mouth, then stuffed the pill inside.
At this time, everyone watched with their eyes straight as the pill was stuffed in. The palace maid immediately brought water. After Zhao Lie fed the water first, everyone waited with bated breath for Zhao Bairen's reaction.
On the other hand, the big teapot was confident, but he looked at everyone here with scrutiny and suspicion: Who is the person who poisoned His Majesty
There are basically only a few people who can get close to His Majesty, but those who have the opportunity to poison themselves at close range for a long time and... without making a sound... can be counted on one hand!
And the people with major suspicions...are basically all here!
The prince is the most suspicious, because as soon as the emperor dies, he will immediately be the biggest beneficiary! Could it be him? Are his filial piety, etiquette, sageness and virtue a disguise
The fourth prince seems to be a suspect too. Although the suspicion is the least, he cannot be completely ruled out! Because although this matter is not legal for him and puts him at an absolute legal disadvantage, it is precisely because of this absolute legal weakness that he is eliminated from suspicion and puts him at an absolute emotional advantage!
The crown prince who is the biggest profiteer is the biggest suspect, and when the prince of an empire is surrounded by foreign enemies and is the biggest suspect of regicide, can he really ascend to the throne as he wishes
Imperial Physician Fang, the head physician, the head of all the imperial physicians, has some real talents and practical knowledge, but his character is too cowardly and timid, and he can't beat him with three sticks on weekdays. Moreover, his family has a large population, and he has recently married a new man named Nuan Hua Nian Hua. His concubine was the most favored at the time. He had three sons and two daughters. Among them, the wife regarded her as the apple of his eye and loved her as much as her life. It was impossible for such a person... to commit such a major case of confiscating the family and exterminating the family.
Then, his eyes moved to the chief eunuch, Huang Yougong, an old man in the palace. He has been with His Majesty for nearly forty years. It can be said that he is the most trusted person of Emperor Zhao Bairen. If he has the intention of regicide, , Zhao Bairen could not survive now. When he was sleeping soundly, Huang Yougong could kill the emperor with a knife, so why wait until now
Finally... it's Concubine Ming.
The big teapot's eyes looked at this woman who was famous all over the world for her beauty. This woman had been with the emperor for more than ten years... Could she be the murderer? If she is the murderer, then why? What is she planning? Concubine Ming was an orphan. She was fostered in a relative's home since she was a child. Later, because her uncle coveted her beauty, her aunt sent her to the palace in order to drive her away. By chance, she was seen by the emperor Zhao Bairen. After receiving the favor, Zhao Bairen became the emperor. It just got out of hand.
This woman is the same as Eunuch Huang, the chief eunuch. Their lives and fortunes are closely tied to Zhao Bairen. They both prosper and suffer.
If Zhao Bairen is dead, they will either be left in the palace or die. Prince Zhao Hanqing may seem gentle and wise, but he is also famous for his firmness and ferocity in dealing with traitors. If Zhao Hanqing ascends the throne, they will definitely die without a burial place!
But if it wasn’t Concubine Ming, then who would it be
Ah, by the way, there is also myself, who seems to be the most suspicious person.
But my family knows about my family affairs. Don’t I know whether I have been poisoned? He is the one who needs Zhao Bairen alive the most!
So, who is the murderer? This man was able to poison the emperor under his own nose, which shows that his scheming is extremely deep and his methods are very good!
Who is this person...? Will it be the Crown Prince... or Prince Ping
The big teapot's eyes finally fell on Zhao Hanqing and Zhao Liexian, glancing back and forth.
At this moment, a low groan came from the side. Although the sound was slight, it sounded like spring thunder to everyone!
This is Zhao Bairen's voice, he's awake!

I had a busy day outside yesterday, sorry...
