All of a sudden, a dozen or twenty imperial physicians were escorted to the hall, obedient and obedient like a flock of ducks being driven away.
"Dear physicians, please explain the cause of father's death carefully in front of Manchu Wenwu and General Gu."
Everyone in the Tai Hospital looked at me and I looked at you. In the end, the chief judge stood up. He was an old imperial doctor who had been loyal to Emperor Kun all his life.
"Your Majesty died of poisoning. This is a chronic poison. It is so slow that you can hardly notice the pulse at ordinary times. If we hadn't noticed the difference in time after His Majesty died, I'm afraid we wouldn't even know why Your Majesty died. The Seventh Prince has a little You are right, Your Majesty has been poisoned for four or five years, it did not happen suddenly."
In other words, it doesn't matter who was by Kundi's side when he died, what matters is who poisoned him for four or five years.
Someone immediately thought, "The Seventh Prince is studying poison in Immortal Valley, but the Crown Prince doesn't have one. Naturally, the Seventh Prince is more suspected!"
Kun Wushang sneered, "This prince was sent to Immortal Valley since he was a child, and he only came back two years ago. How can he poison his father for four or five years? To be able to do this, naturally, he has been under his father's care. A person who is deeply trusted by the emperor."
There is indeed no one else besides Kun Junyue who has been by Kundi's side and is deeply trusted.
If Emperor Kun didn't trust him, he wouldn't have allowed him to form a party in the middle of the court for personal gain as a prince. In the end, it was almost impossible to clean up the situation, so he supported Kun Wushang to restrain him.
Thinking about it this way, Kun Junyue's suspicion is indeed more serious than Kunwu's.
Kun Wu hurt and said again: "I know that many ministers in the court have their hearts towards the prince and are unwilling to accept this fact. Dear friends, think about it, who will benefit the most from the death of the father? Is it me, a prince whose power is not stable, or the prince? A legitimate prince? If I killed my father, at least I would make a fake will to ascend the throne before killing him, right? My lords, have you ever seen such a will?"
When the ministers heard this, the balance in their hearts became more and more inclined to him, and his words were not without reason.
Thinking of Kun Junyue staying away from Xikun and going to Beili to congratulate Beili, isn't it just to create a proof of his absence so that he can pour dirty water on Kun Wushang who was in the court at that time
Only the murderer who actually poisoned him will know when the chronic poison that has been lurking in Kundi's body for a long time will take effect.
Although everyone has figured out the reason for the incident, there are still those who support Kun Junyue who are determined to pour dirty water on Kun Wu's injury, "But His Majesty noticed that he was poisoned before he died. You prince! How does the Seventh Prince explain this?"
"Heh, if Father's suspicion is correct, will he still die?"
Kun Wu spread his hands apart, "Father has searched my Seventh Prince's mansion countless times. If there is any poison and antidote, he would have found it long ago. Father has always been partial to the prince, even though I have been explaining and trying to convince him of the truth. , but he refuses to believe it anyway. I'm afraid you adults are more aware of who the father's mind is leaning towards than this prince."
He looked at the few ministers standing on the left side of the lower head, they were all the confidantes of Emperor Kun, including the prime minister of the Xikun Dynasty, they naturally understood what Emperor Kun was thinking—
From the very beginning, Emperor Kun just wanted to support Kun Wushang to check and balance Kun Junyue, and never moved his heart.
It's no wonder that after discovering that he was poisoned, he subconsciously suspected Kun Wu's injury, and even intended to detain him in the mansion.
Several ministers nodded, and the silent answers made the courtiers understand a lot.
Kun Wushang sneered and looked down: "My lords don't need to believe the words of this prince, but you should believe the words of these imperial physicians and the prime minister, right? This prince is just suspected by his father. I didn't expect that there would be people after his death." I went to the Seventh Prince’s Mansion intending to assassinate this prince. This prince had no choice but to change his disguise and hide, until General Gu came to dare to show his face.”
He denied everything, and finally admitted that Gu Shubai was attracted by him.
This Xikun was ruined by him.
All the ministers looked at him angrily. They also guessed this before, but they didn't want Kun Wushang to be so thick-skinned that he dared to admit this in front of the civil and military officials of the court.
Kun Wu shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, and walked down, "My lords, if you didn't want to take my prince's life, I wouldn't have turned to Bei Li. This is your own fault. Now it's all right, one is to kill my father." The prince who killed the king and was trapped in Beili, and the other is the seventh prince who betrayed Xikun in order to save his life."
He laughed loudly, "Which one do you choose to serve allegiance to, please let me know!"
After saying that, he strode out of the golden hall with big strides, and the laughter still echoed in the hall for a long time.
"Shameless, really shameless!"
The courtiers were still angry.
After listening to the whole story, Gu Shubai was noncommittal, and slowly walked down the steps.
"My lords, you don't have to put all the responsibility on the Seventh Prince. This general came here so fast for his life that he didn't dare to delay. But even without him, this general can break through Xixian City. Do you believe it?"
All the ministers thought of the artillery that exploded in front of the hall, and thought of the earth-shattering sound, so they dared not say a word.
…
"You're back, the tea is ready."
Gu Shubai's army took over the Imperial Forest Army in the palace, and now the entire palace city is under control, so he is temporarily placed in Emperor Kun's original palace to facilitate the exchange of news.
Unexpectedly, Kun Wushang was already sitting there, eating snacks by himself.
Gu Shubai sat down beside him, "You are not polite at all."
"Naturally, it was my lifelong dream to not be able to stay in Father's palace like a guest."
He swallowed the mouthful of pastry, looked at Gu Shubai, "But now, this dream is given to you, and this palace is yours."
Gu Shubai picked up the teacup without changing his face, "It's Yufu's, I'm just taking over temporarily."
Kun Wushang sneered, and patted the crumbs of the pastry in his hand, "Don't fool me, you brought 100,000 troops with you when you set off from Weizhou City, but you have 200,000 troops in Xixian City. The extra Could it be that the 100,000 troops are also from Yufu?"
Gu Shubai frowned, "What do you mean?"
"It's nothing interesting. It's just that those soldiers who were originally refugees from Dongling only recognized you and the name Gu Jiajun in their eyes. There are also soldiers from Xikun who have actually admired Gu Jiajun for a long time..."
Gu Shubai suddenly put the teacup on the table, the tea in the cup was shaken and splashed onto Kunwu's injured face.
He was stunned for a while, wiped the water from his face, and laughed uncontrollably: "I haven't seen you for a year, and your martial arts have improved again."
"Since you know it, don't say those words that sow discord in front of me. Do you think anyone will believe you?"
Gu Shubai's voice became cold, he didn't save Kunwu's injury to listen to these nonsense.
Kunwu let go of his injury as soon as he recovered, "I just need to relax for my life. I just said a few more words. You are so angry that it seems to be true. Okay, thank you for saving your life." Well, I won't talk about it."
Gu Shubai's face softened a bit, "What exactly happened, now there are no outsiders, you can tell."
Kun Wu's hand holding the tea froze for a moment, then he picked up the cup as if nothing had happened, "What's the matter? I've already said what I need to say in court, and I have nothing to hide."
"You can fool those courtiers, but you can't fool me. Yu Fu once said that the poison on Emperor Kun's body will not take effect for at least three to five years. How could it be that Kun Junyue deliberately calculated the time to frame you? Do you still want to lie to me? "
Now that it has been seen through, Kunwu simply does not hide his injury.
He sighed, "As you expected, I concealed some things. But these things are not harmful to Bei Li or you, they are just my selfishness. Now that you can see it, it's okay for me to tell you .”
He recalled what happened two months ago, and still has lingering fears in his heart, "I saw very early on that Kun Junyue had given the emperor a chronic poison, but he never exposed it. One is because he knew that the emperor believed him even more. Father may not believe it, but he will doubt me because of my identity as a disciple of Immortal Valley. What I didn't expect was that Kun Junyue used this to set me up instead."
He couldn't help sneering, "He was worried that during the days when he left Xikun and went to Beili, I would seize power in the court. So he asked me to share some news with the imperial hospital, so that they could see that the emperor's father I was poisoned. As he expected, the first thing my father suspected after he found out that he was poisoned was me. Kun Junyue made some moves to let my father find out my so-called "criminal evidence". It's ridiculous that he thought he was a hero for a lifetime, but he was still an enemy But the love between father and son is blind."
Kun Wu hurts the so-called father-son relationship, which is the father-son relationship between Emperor Kun and Kun Junyue, and has nothing to do with him.
"You find yourself confused. If you don't kill the father, the father will kill you. So you increased the dose of that poison in his diet, didn't you?"
Kun Yuyang walked in from outside the hall, dressed in silver and white military uniform, Kun Wushang was stunned for a moment.
He knew that his younger sister, like himself, didn't have much friendship for Kundi's opponents, but more hatred.
So he admitted frankly: "Yes, I killed him with a heavier dose of medicine. He and Kun Junyue are not the only ones in the imperial hospital. I have worked hard for many years. If I die in Kun Junyue's hands in vain, call me How can you be willing?"
Kun Yuyang said indifferently: "But if you kill him, you can't escape yourself."
Kun Wu looked at Gu Shubai with a sad smile, "At that time, I only wanted to protect myself. Only by killing him can I survive and have a moment to breathe. I know that this alone is not enough to keep my life alive. , I remembered the kit you gave me last year. You said you would open it at the most critical moment. I believe that with your ability, you would never give me a piece of waste paper, right? I just didn’t expect that the kit was actually... "
"What is it?"
Kun Yuyang looked at them curiously, a kit that Gu Shubai hurt Kun Wu last year actually played such a big role at this moment, could it be that Gu Shubai could predict or not
The two looked at each other and smiled tacitly.
Kun Yuyang became more and more impatient, "What the hell is it, can't we say it now?"
Kun Wushang played up his elder brother's demeanor, and said slowly: "Actually, the note is not a life-saving prescription, there is only one sentence. He said that Yufu is destined to unify the Kyushu. If he lives and dies, Zidang chose to rely on Yufu. I believed his words, so I sold myself."
Kun Yuyang was a little puzzled. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly realized, "I understand. Your power in the court is far inferior to Kun Junyue. Even if the father dies, the courtiers will not abandon him and choose you. Bei Li, let Yufu control Kun Junyue, and then send troops to support you, only then will you have a chance of survival."
Even so, he almost couldn't survive.
If Gu Shubai hadn't led the army to arrive in time, he might not be able to hide for too long, and he would be discovered by the people in the court, and he would be killed directly on the charge of murdering Emperor Kun.
Now that I think about it, I still feel that it is very dangerous, and my tone is quite proud of escaping from death.
"Otherwise, do you think that those old imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital would not be able to see that the chronic poison on the emperor's body was suddenly increased? They just saw our General Gu controlling Miyagi, and they only wanted to save their lives and dare not talk nonsense. That's all."
Kun Wushang smiled lightly, "These imperial physicians who have served in the palace for a long time are used to seeing the battles in the three palaces and six courtyards of the father's and queen's palace, and also the battles between dozens of princes and princesses like us. Ministers are more sensible and know what to say and what not to say."
Hearing this, Gu Shubai couldn't help laughing and said: "It's really sensible. If I hadn't heard Yufu mention the poisonous characteristics of Emperor Kun, I'm afraid I would have been deceived by them, let alone those ministers in the court."
Kun Wushang then looked at him, "You already knew it in the hall, why didn't you expose me?"
"Why should I expose you?"
Gu Shubai looked at him with a smile, "Do you think they are all like you? You don't even have to blink your eyes when you come up with a despicable scheme. Since Yufu promised to save your life, I will naturally fulfill her promise for her."
Kun Yuyang hurriedly said: "Brother Seven, the General really wanted to save you. If we hadn't rushed to Xixian City to save you as soon as possible, we wouldn't have used artillery."
She originally thought that Kun Wushang would be grateful for saying this, but she didn't want him to be more proud, "I knew that General Gu was reluctant to let me die, but I saved your life anyway, didn't I?"
Kun Yuyang was taken aback for a moment, somewhat unable to understand the two of them.
Were they not mortal enemies on the battlefield in the past, or rivals in love? No matter how you look at the atmosphere between the two of them, it doesn't look like they are hostile.
Gu Shubai snorted softly, "Seventh Prince, don't be too sentimental. I will never admit your life-saving grace. If you hadn't colluded with Yin Shuo back then, how could I have been seriously injured and almost died? Today, I will fulfill you in the courtroom." The lie is just to save your face, so that you can smoothly control the overall situation of Xikun and belong to Beili."
"If he dies, the person in power in Xikun should naturally be the prince Kun Junyue. And Kun Junyue is in the capital, which is better for us to control."
When Kun Yuyang said this without changing his expression, Kun Wushang immediately changed his expression and looked at her.
Only then did she realize that she had said something she shouldn't have said, what if Gu Shubai heard her words and thought it was reasonable, and changed his mind to hurt Kun Wu's life
She was regretting her slip of the tongue and wanted to say something to make amends when she saw Gu Shubai stand up, "Okay, the defense in the palace has just been taken over, and it's not stable yet. I'll go and have a look, you brothers and sisters reunited after a long absence, Let’s catch up on the old days here.”
As he spoke, he strode towards the outside of the hall, seemingly not paying attention to Kun Yuyang's words just now.
Kun Yuyang breathed a sigh of relief.
She may not care about Kundi's death or what happened to Kun Junyue, but she is not a ruthless person that her six relatives do not recognize. She did not hurt her in Xikun Kunwushang back then.
"Brother Seven, I made a slip of the tongue just now, don't you mind..."
Kun Wu smiled sadly, "Don't worry, I know you didn't mean it. What's more, Gu Shubai won't kill me just because of your words. The so-called gentlemen like them are as good as their promises, and they say no." If you kill me, you won't kill me."
Kun Yuyang nodded, "Yes, whatever His Majesty asks, he will definitely not refuse. I saw it when I was in Dongling. On the surface, the two of them seemed to be the little sister Yufu who obeyed the elder sister. Brother, in fact..."
She couldn't help laughing, "Actually, Guhou's mansion has been accommodating Yufu all of a sudden, she does what she says, and now it's the same in Beili."
Kunwu said sadly: "That's natural, now that she is the queen of Beili, does Gu Shubai dare to disobey her will?"
"How can a subject's obedience to the monarch be the same as the relationship between a husband and wife? He treats Yufu like a brother takes care of his sister, and a husband loves his wife. It is by no means limited by the status of a monarch and a minister."
"Is it?"
Kun Wushang smiled faintly, looking at the direction where Gu Shubai was going outside the hall, his eyes gradually drifted away, and he didn't know what he was thinking...
