Wishful Things

Guesses and suspicions emerged one after another, the emperor with a pale face closed his eyes, and clenched his teeth tightly.

no……

He couldn't just wait for Xu Qiwei to return to Beijing!

"It is said that Xia Tingzhen came to see me in the palace..." The emperor's voice trembled slightly with anger.

He must quickly come up with a countermeasure!

Li Ji hurriedly responded, quickly stepped back outside the hall, and confessed the matter to an inner prisoner.

"Go invite Xia Shoufu into the palace at this time?" The eunuch was a little surprised.

At such a time, the palace gates are locked.

Li Ji glared at him: "Why don't you go next year?"

If Xia Shoufu doesn't come again, the emperor himself might go crazy!

The inner eunuch shrank his neck and hurriedly said: "The villain will go now."

Li Ji took out his waist card and threw it to him: "Hurry up!"

The inner supervisor responded "yes" and hurried to go.

Seeing Li Ji returning to the palace, Xiao Chenzi, who was guarding outside, moved his eyes.

Xia Tingzhen quickly rushed to the palace.

"Xu Qiwei is not dead..." Emperor Qingming had already put on his robes, and was sitting in a chair with a comb back in the inner hall, with one hand resting on the tea table by his elbow, five fingers clenched tightly, and the back of his hand It can be seen that the veins are bulging.

Hearing this, Xia Tingzhen, who has always been calm, was shocked.

"Your Majesty, why did such a change occur? Is the news true? Has someone seen Xu Qiwei with their own eyes? Could it be that the Xu family deliberately released false news—"

"The news can't be faked...because not only did he not die, he even ordered Yue Pei to be taken into custody." Emperor Qingming squeezed a sneer from between his lips and teeth: "I also want to know the reason—a person who should have died so thoroughly , why did he 'resurrect from the dead'! He captured Yue Pei, and he made it clear that he was about to rebel!"

Xia Tingzhen frowned slightly: "Your Majesty, please be patient... Please ask Rong Chen carefully about what happened before making a conclusion."

Then he looked at the man in black kneeling on the ground: "Duke Zhen Guo arrested Yue Pei?"

"Exactly..." The man in black's face and lips were already pale, as if he had tried his best not to pass out, and he explained the whole process of the assassination at the posthouse that night.

After hearing this, Xia Tingzhen thought about it and said, "According to the old minister, since Duke Zhen didn't kill Yuepei, there can be no talk of rebellion—and now that he still has family members in Beijing, he would definitely not dare to act rashly."

Emperor Qingming pressed his ashen lips tightly.

Xia Tingzhen continued, "Yue Pei committed an assassination, and Lord Zhen has no conclusive evidence, so there is still room for elucidation of the matter. Even if Lord Zhen wants to ask for an explanation, one Yue Pei is enough— —This layer of window paper, Xu Qiwei would not dare to pierce it easily."

No matter what, Yue Pei dared not admit that he was instructed by someone.

It's just a pity that such an easy-to-use chess piece was folded on this matter before it was really useful.

"According to the teacher's wishes, I still want to appease him and whitewash the peace with him!" Emperor Qingming said angrily.

Xia Tingzhen lowered her eyes: "The poisoning has not been completed, and the assassination has failed. At this time, it is impossible to attack him on the way back to Beijing. Now that we have reached this point, we can only find a way to stabilize him first, and then do it again." Other plans—"

"Steady?" Emperor Qingming's eyes were full of coldness, what he wanted was for Xu Qiwei to die!

"If you don't stabilize it in time, according to Xu Qiwei's temperament, it is possible to die and break the net. And the current situation, it is really not suitable for such turmoil, otherwise even if Xu Qiwei is taken down, the court will definitely be defeated." The vitality is seriously injured, so this matter can only be taken out of your wits." Xia Tingzhen said: "I also hope that Your Majesty must put the overall situation first, and endure the momentary anger."

"..." Emperor Qingming clenched his fists tightly, and his uneven breathing due to the rage in his heart could be clearly heard in the silent hall.

After such a long silence, he just spoke.

"The teacher said, what should I do now—"

He would never fully trust anyone, but at this moment, even if he was dazzled by anger, he could still distinguish between the pros and cons of what Xia Tingzhen said.

"Although we still don't know what Xu Qiwei's attitude is, Your Majesty should have taken precautions early." Xia Tingzhen said firmly, "You can control his weakness first, and then use both soft and hard methods—"

"Weakness?"

Emperor Qingming's eyes moved slightly, and a figure flashed in his mind.

That's right...

How could he forget this?

Needless to say, it will be possible to stabilize Xu Qiwei by then, and it may even be possible to take back the soldier talisman...

The conversation in the hall was low, and Xiao Chenzi, who was guarding outside the hall, never heard a word.

Not long after, the man in black who had gone in was carried out, and he seemed to have lost his breath.

"The emperor's method is feasible, and it can be called a long-term solution." In the inner hall, Xia Tingzhen nodded in approval.

The countermeasures have been roughly determined, Emperor Qingming calmed down, and his heart was also settled.

"I suddenly thought of something suspicious—" Xia Tingzhen went on to say: "I remember that there should be no cure for the poison in Zhen Guogong's hands. How could Yuanna and other remote places get rid of the poison so smoothly?"

"I also think he is a little too lucky... Could it be that the teacher suspects that the poison Qiao Bingying made is something else?"

But how dare he?

And why would a useless person who has been imprisoned in such a dark place all year round choose to tamper with poison?

"I'm not suspicious of Qiao Bing. Judging from the secret letter sent back earlier, Duke Zhen has indeed been poisoned, and his life is in danger several times." Xia Tingzhen said: "After thinking about it, there is indeed an expert who took action to solve it." This poison, but I believe that the appearance of this expert must not be accidental—"

"Teacher, what do you mean...someone knew about my plan, so they responded earlier?" Emperor Qingming's eyes were filled with coldness.

"That's right, and the minister just thought of a suspicious thing, I don't know if it has anything to do with it—"

"Also ask the teacher to speak frankly."

"I still remember that some time ago, the Japanese national teacher used alchemy as an excuse to ask His Majesty for a medicinal material called Ganoderma lucidum."

Emperor Qingming nodded: "There is such a thing."

He has been taking that elixir, and the effect is quite good.

"And after that, according to my accidental knowledge, this Ganoderma lucidum is not only a tonic, but also has the effect of detoxifying strange poisons—"

"Can it cure the strange poison?" Emperor Qingming's eyes changed slightly.

Xia Tingzhen said: "At first, I didn't pay much attention to it, but now that I think about it, I feel that there are a lot of strange things. For example, this medicine is very rare, but the national teacher came to look for it, and it happened to be in the palace. Does your majesty think this is too coincidental?" gone?"

"..." Emperor Qingming frowned in thought.

Xia Tingzhen continued: "On the same day when the national teacher came to ask for medicine, I also encountered a slightly unusual thing after leaving the Hall of Mental Cultivation, which was related to Yukun Palace—"

Yukun Palace?

Queen?

Emperor Qingming's eyes were slightly cold, and he said slowly: "Teacher, there is no need to hide anything. If you notice something suspicious, just speak up..."
