Zhu Xuan's gloomy sneer was discounted: "Do you know why I trust the people on board?"
"Why?"
"Because of them, they knew about it and told me—"
Before he finished speaking, his voice suddenly stopped, his throat was blocked, as if someone had strangled his throat, and his eyes straightened suddenly, almost staring out of their sockets.
"Ah-ah-"
A painful sound came from the throat.
Seeing him like this, Zhu Feng suddenly rushed forward: "What's wrong with you?"
Zhu Xuan was completely speechless. For a moment, his eyes were bloodshot and red, as if blood was about to spurt out of his eyes. He stared at Zhu Feng, clutching his neck with both hands desperately, struggling in pain.
Zhu Feng said loudly: "Come on!"
At this moment, Eunuch Yu also panicked and ran out in a hurry, and even tripped over the threshold when he was going out.
"Come on, come on!"
In the night sky, his frightened shout sounded, which suddenly woke up the people around him.
He Yi and Xu Miaoyin rushed in, and as soon as they entered the door, they were also stunned when they saw this scene.
Zhu Xuan was sitting in the chair, his eyes, nose and mouth began to bleed, and his clothes, even the clothes of Zhu Feng who was close to him, were stained red in an instant. He covered his neck with his hands, and his legs were on the ground He kicked vigorously, but no sound came out.
Zhu Feng's eyes were red with anxiety, and he grabbed Zhu Xuan's shoulder: "Who are they? What else do you know!?"
But at this time, Zhu Xuan couldn't say anything.
The light in his red eyes gradually faded.
In the end, he collapsed in the chair, looked at Zhu Feng, and a sneering smile appeared on the corner of his blood-stained mouth, as if he had just walked in.
There was pity in those eyes.
Pitiful…
Pity you as an emperor, rich and supreme.
But he doesn't even know his own life experience.
You do not know whose son you are, nor who bore you.
You will be struggling in this quagmire all your life, and you will never be able to escape.
Poor, poor...
When the last ray of light disappeared suddenly like a candle in the wind, he let out a chuckle.
It also ended his life.
Zhu Feng stood in front of him, even holding his shoulders with both hands, but felt that his body was slowly sinking.
With some of his secrets, he was forever plunged into darkness.
The silence, amidst the messy wind breaking through the door at this moment, seemed even more abrupt, even stinging.
He Yi and Xu Miaoyin stood at the door, and they were completely stunned when they saw this scene.
After a while, Xu Miaoyin took a step forward: "Your Majesty, what did he say?"
"..."
Zhu Feng said nothing.
At this time, there was a rush of footsteps outside, and it was Eunuch Yu who ran in anxiously with two imperial doctors. When they saw this scene, they were also terrified.
"Huh? This, this is—"
"Don't say this and that, go up and have a look!"
"yes."
The two imperial doctors hurried forward, but when they got to the chair, they found Zhu Feng standing there, holding onto Zhu Xuan's shoulder with both hands, refusing to let go.
He was tall, with such a block, the two imperial doctors couldn't treat him at all.
Immediately hesitated.
But looking at his face, he didn't dare to speak.
He Yi took a step forward, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, it's better to let go of King Ning first, and let the imperial doctor see what's going on."
"..."
"The emperor..."
After a long time, Zhu Feng finally let go of his hand.
He turned around and walked back behind the table, sat down again, but closed his eyes, as if he didn't see everything in front of him.
Two imperial doctors hurried to treat King Ning.
But only sniffed and felt the pulse again, the two turned their heads pale and said softly: "Your Majesty, His Highness King Ning, he has-"
Neither He Yi nor Xu Miaoyin spoke.
And Zhu Feng closed his eyes, as if he didn't care at all.
Of course he had felt it long ago.
Just now, when King Ning was bleeding from seven holes in front of him and slowly stopped struggling, he knew very well that he had swallowed his last breath and was hopeless.
It's just that I didn't expect that it would be in front of me.
"what's going on?"
"Looking at King Ning's condition, it seems to be poisoned."
Poisoned? !
He Yi frowned, stepped forward hastily, and looked at the candle on the imperial case that was so weak that it seemed to be extinguished at any time, only to see that the blood from the corners of Zhu Xuan's eyes, mouth and nose had turned into up green.
It is poisoning.
Someone actually poisoned it!
At this time, Eunuch Yu subconsciously looked at the tea he poured for King Ning just now, and picked it up tremblingly, but the imperial doctor took it, smelled it, tested it with the silver needle in the medicine box, and said: " The tea is all right."
This is also natural.
The tea and water, as well as the cups in which the tea was poured, were all used by Zhu Feng. If the tea was really poisonous, then Zhu Feng would have been poisoned long ago!
Besides, the Imperial Study Room is not accessible to ordinary people, and no one can poison this place.
Eunuch Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
But He Yi on the other side frowned even tighter.
He knew very well that after King Ning was taken out of the cell in Dali Temple, he was escorted directly to the Imperial Study Room, and no one provided him with food and water, that is to say, he only drank this cup of tea.
If there is no problem with the tea, there is only one possibility—
The person who poisoned him was someone from Dali Temple, or someone poisoned him along the way.
However, all the people he came into contact with were people from the imperial court.
Could it be that-
Thinking of this, He Yi's face became heavy.
Someone in the court poisoned him!
Who dared to poison King Ning? Moreover, he died of poisoning when the emperor interrogated King Ning. The poisoning at such an accurate time was obviously to kill him!
Who is it
At this time, Zhu Feng said in a deep voice, "Go and investigate."
He Yi raised his head and said to him, "Your Majesty."
"If you can't find out, I only ask you."
"yes."
Of course, this matter needs to be investigated. King Ning was poisoned, so it is impossible to just let it go.
only-
He hesitated for a moment, then said: "Your Majesty, what happened after King Ning—"
Zhu Feng was silent for a while, eyes still closed, expressionless on his face, but there was already a bit of indescribable weariness in his brows.
"The order continues. King Ning conspired against him and committed a heinous crime. He committed suicide in fear of crime during the trial. However, I still retain his title in consideration of brotherhood. After the truth is clarified, he can be sent back to his hometown for burial."
"yes."
After saying these words, Zhu Feng opened his eyes again.
His eyes were dark and dull, as if the sky outside at this moment was covered with an indelible shadow.
But, not just in the eyes.
He could feel even more that there was a deeper shadow extending from his past to the present, covering him and the entire imperial city.
