I Persuade People With Reason

After announcing his retreat from the court, His Royal Highness the Prince hurriedly left the Taiji Palace, looking at his back, the ministers had different thoughts.

The palace is not monolithic, many ministers will buy the little eunuchs, and occasionally understand the emperor's movements. His Royal Highness's actions in the past two weeks have long been known to the palace.

After entering the court every day, His Royal Highness will routinely visit the emperor's bedroom. It is said that even the events that happened in the courtroom that day will be told to the emperor without fail. Even if the emperor is unconscious, he has never been neglected for a day.

The ministers, who were worried that the prince's temperament would change drastically after being poisoned, were completely relieved.

- The prince is still the kind and pure filial prince!

I think if His Majesty wakes up and learns what his son has done, he will be greatly moved by this, right?

The Emperor said: ... No.

...he's really not impressed at all, is he? !

Since he suddenly fell into a coma half a month ago, the emperor is not completely unconscious. Most of the time, his consciousness is awake.

It's just that his whole person is like being locked in a small dark room. He can't find the door to go out. No one responds when he taps inside, but he can hear the voices of others outside the door through the wall. .

And these days, apart from Empress Zhou's constant chatter in his ear, the most diligent ones who didn't come for this prince were the most diligent.

In the eyes of others, this is undoubtedly the performance of filial piety. But for the emperor, this is clearly a provocation!

He just wants the prince to shut up now!

I don't want to hear you chop off a few more heads today!

I also don't want to hear which force has been taken over!

I don't even want to hear those loyal confidants who have their names read out one by one in my ears, and no one will be found from now on!

-Prince, you, enough, enough! !

...just you have a trumpet all the time? !

The grievances of more than half a month have been accumulating in the emperor's heart, almost erupting like a volcano.

From the beginning of rage and madness, wishing to tear the prince into eight pieces, to lying down "calmly", to now incompetent and furious, the emperor can only be crazy in his heart at the tenth level of Zuan...

It has gone through a rough and bumpy mental journey, no one knows.

All he knew was that, if this continued, sooner or later he would be killed by the prince's anger!

- Is this the purpose of the prince?

The emperor was suddenly vigilant.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in his ear.

"Your Highness."

Xiao Zhi, who was in the official robe of the Imperial Physician's Office, walked in from outside the palace with a medicine box. When the palace servants and servants had been dismissed, he tentatively looked at Yuan and did nothing.

Just in time, he saw the Prince's words come to an end, took a sip of water, and picked up a piece of sweet and soft white jade-like pastry on the table.

Ahhh!

Over the past few days, the royal chefs in the palace have become familiar with the taste of His Royal Highness the Prince, and the sweet and moderately sweet pastries served cannot be more delicious. Of course, if Qi Yu was asked to evaluate, he would probably say, "I choose to die."

It wasn't because the tip of his tongue licked the debris on his lips, he spread out on the back of the chair and squinted his eyes contentedly. Then he looked at Xiao Zhi and nodded slightly: "What's the matter?"

This is to indicate that there are no ears on the wall here, and there is something you can say with confidence.

So Xiao Zhi also said: "When His Highness asked for "half-day drunk", did you count the day? "

Yuan Buwei picked up another piece of pastry, his eyes almost glued to it, and he just nodded casually: "That's right."

It seems that, for him, the life and death of the emperor is more important to him than a piece of cake.

The so-called "half-day drunk" is the poison in the emperor's body today.

This is the poison that Xiao Zhi developed alone. That day, he took the initiative to find the original, and he asked him for a special poison. And "half-day drunk", just perfectly meets the requirements of the original.

The toxicity is intense and the effect is very fast, often only within half a day, but it is easy to attack when emotionally stimulated, and the symptoms after the attack are uncontrolled limbs and drowsiness.

Although Xiao Zhi knew that someone behind the scenes was plotting against the prince, and that the prince asked for poison mostly for revenge, he didn't think about the emperor. But now the "half-day drunk" in the emperor's body has already explained the truth.

Guessing this, he couldn't help but have a deeper understanding of the courage and courage of His Royal Highness.

The front foot only got the poison from him, and the rear foot was arranged for the emperor...

It seems that all the shackles bound by the monarchs, ministers, fathers and sons, the three principles and the five constants, and the secular morals and rules have never had any impact on the Crown Prince!

Xiao Zhi asked curiously: "The rules are strict in the palace, especially around Your Majesty. Forgive the rudeness of the minister, and dare to ask how Your Highness brought this half-day drunkenness to His Majesty?"

He was really puzzled. Since the prince had such means, he should have installed secret staff in the palace long ago, so how could he be poisoned by the emperor without any precaution?

In order to solve a piece of cake again, Yuan raised his head and smiled: "What's so difficult about this?"

"Didn't the royal father call me into the palace alone?"

When he said this, Xiao Zhi responded.

He was talking about the day the Prime Minister's Mansion held the wedding banquet!

In this way, that day, the Crown Prince personally brought the half-day drunk into the palace. In the afternoon, he unknowingly poisoned the emperor. In the evening, he ran to the Prime Minister's Mansion to arrest people. When he arrived at the court the next day, he was so angry that the emperor had a seizure on the spot and fell into a coma... From poisoning to poisoning, it was really nothing. It's only half a day.

With such precise time control, could it be that all this is not a coincidence, but that His Royal Highness the Prince had planned it?

The emperor is in a coma, and the prince is logically in charge of the country, and he can take this opportunity to eradicate the emperor's confidants in one fell swoop...

After thinking about it, Xiao Zhi almost broke out in a cold sweat.

Not to mention why the dignified crown prince of a country is so proficient in poisoning, just talking about His Royal Highness's seemingly simple and rude but extremely effective layout made him shudder.

When the script is finished, the emperor must have no way to survive, and he personally participated in it, not only gave poison, but also knew most of the plans of His Royal Highness. What will happen to the people?

Xiao Zhi, who has always cherished his life, was inevitably uneasy.

It seemed that he could see what he was thinking, so he didn't stand up and glanced at him lightly.

"Don't worry, Gu Ke doesn't have the habit of killing his own people."

He glanced at the emperor on the bed, his tone indifferent.

"What's more, what if you just say it?"

Xiao Zhi smiled wryly and sighed, leaning over and bowing: "His Royal Highness forgives his sins, Wei Chen has always been timid and cherished his life, it is difficult to keep calm before life and death, and he lost his mind for a while, which is why he was so rude in front of His Highness. ."

He answered calmly and did not deliberately hide his thoughts.

It was only because of the time spent together that Xiao Zhi could already see that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was an informal character. He doesn't care about his careful thinking at all, but he doesn't like the hypocrisy of his subordinates.

Yuan Buwei didn't pursue it, just nodded slightly, indicating that he should complete today's "diagnosis and treatment" first, while himself, Shi Shiran, left the emperor's palace.

Before leaving, I also took a half plate of cakes by the way.

...the posture is very skilled.

With the half-dish white jade cake that was passed along, he stepped out of the door of the bedroom for no reason. The sun was shining outside the hall.

He raised his face, bathing his entire face in the warm golden light, and smiled.

The little fat girl who was walking towards him just happened to see this genuine smile, and couldn't help being stunned.

"Brother Emperor! Are you going to court?"

He called out and rushed in front of Yuan Buwei with three steps and two steps. His round body seemed to be carrying a small whirlwind, and he looked full of energy.

Yuan Buwei nodded slightly: "Are you here to visit the emperor?"

Qi Yu hurriedly shook his head: "No, I'm here to find the emperor. Is the emperor free now?"

I wasn't a little surprised, so I walked out with this little fat girl. He also picked up a piece of cake and gave it a wave, and the action was very natural.

Before Qi Yu could react, there was an extra piece of cake in his mouth. He blinked in confusion, facing the emperor's rare kindness, neither spitting nor swallowing.

After hesitating for a few breaths, he closed his eyes, chewed a few times with a dying expression, and swallowed it whole.

...died on the spot.

...As expected of the Crown Prince, murder does not require poison, terrifying Orz.

There was an unexpected voice from the side: "How? This is a new cake made by the imperial kitchen after my instructions. These people have some talent."

His final voice rose slightly, as if there was a hint of pride.

Qi Yu showed a difficult smile and forced his support: "Brother Huang, do you still make cakes? Really fierce..."

"No." Yuan Buwei shook his head and said as a matter of course, "But I know what kind of pastries are delicious."

As a gourmet, it only takes a few words and a few words, and those royal chefs will naturally understand. Sure enough, the original unqualified pastries were quickly eliminated, and new desserts with super double the taste were made.

Qi Yu: ...emmm, brother, are you afraid that you have misunderstood the word delicious? !

Seeing that his royal brother was in high spirits and seemed to want to feed another wave, Qi Yu's desire to survive exploded instantly.

Little Fatty closed his eyes, as if after a moment, and then sighed solemnly: "As expected, the emperor has a vision, the level of the imperial kitchen was really not good. After the emperor's advice, it's really reborn!"

…Eating it can literally lift one up on the spot.

"It's a pity that I just ate it in my mother's harem..." As he said, he shook his head regretfully, and glanced at the rest of the pastry reluctantly.

Of course, this little chubby's poor acting skills can't be concealed. He just chuckled lightly, and as Qi Yu wished, he solved the remaining pieces of cake.

Witty escaped death once again, and Qi Yu couldn't help but secretly praised his intelligence and wisdom, and then he started to find the reason why he didn't do it.

Xiao Pangji frowned slightly in distress, quietly approached Yuan Buwei, and said in a low voice, "Brother Huang, I always feel that my mother is a little strange these days..."

The emperor was poisoned and comatose. No matter what the concubines in the palace thought, they all looked sad on the surface, but Queen Zhou's behavior was obviously quite different.

Her grief is real, and her worry is real, but under this worry and grief, there is clearly a little bit of unconcealed fear, anxiety, and surprise.

And Qi Yu, who has always been very sensitive to emotional perception, naturally noticed that something was wrong with her.

He grew up in the harem since childhood and didn't spend much time with the emperor, but the queen's biological mother was very kind to him, and Qi Yu naturally wanted to share her worries.

The intuition in the subconscious made Qi Yu find out what he didn't do. Perhaps in his opinion, this omnipotent prince brother can definitely solve all difficulties, right?

Hearing him count out the various things that were wrong with Empress Zhou, he didn't want to hook his lips: "Don't worry, the Empress is fine, she is just too worried about the Father."

The emperor's attitude towards the prince may have been noticed by the queen, who is a pillow, but she never thought that the father and son had reached the point of life and death. It must be very uncomfortable to suddenly discover this truth now.

Although it is not clear that it was not the poison that was poisoned against the emperor, but now that the emperor is in a coma, the queen must be worried, will the prince take the opportunity to shoot him?

Qi Yu was ignorant about this and just looked at him suspiciously.

Yuan Buwei lowered his eyes and chuckled: "You just need to tell her that Imperial Physician Xiao already has a clue about the poison on Father Father's body, at least three to five days, as many as ten and a half months, Father Father will wake up. ."
