The Possession of My Beloved (Hidden Charm) - Chapter 178
Queen Shi was silent for a moment, then said: “This palace saves the king’s love for his grandson. The king will come with this palace.”
The little prince was playing with several maids in the house. When he saw his mother coming, he jumped up and stretched his hands, giggling and jumping to Queen Shi . Seeing the lively and lovely prince, Queen Shi finally showed a smile on her face. She squatted forward a few times and hugged the prince who was thrown into her arms, and even kissed the prince’s pink and tender face a few times. Then he stood up, took the prince’s hand, pointed at Shi Guozhang and said, “Hong’er, your grandfather came to the palace to see you today.”
When the little prince saw Shi Guozhang, he pouted and hid behind Queen Shi, unwilling to come out. Shi Guozhang often goes in and out of the palace, and the little prince has met several times, and Shi Guozhang also brought him small toys.
It’s just that Shi Guozhang is not satisfied with Queen Shi, and he doesn’t even have a good impression of Queen Shi’s son. In addition, there will soon be dragon sons born to other daughters of the Shi family in the palace. Shi Guozhang had other thoughts in his heart. When he saw the little prince, he couldn’t help being a little perfunctory. Although he saw flattery, he lacked the kindness of the elder.
Children are the most sensitive, but whoever really treats him well and whoever treats him badly can feel it, so every time I see Shi Guozhang, I am not very happy.
Shi Guozhang smiled embarrassedly twice, and said: “The number of times the minister comes here is too small, the prince is still a little strange to the minister, and he will often visit the prince in the future.” But he cursed in his heart: I don’t know After all, the little brat is just like your mother.
Shi Guozhang took a wooden box in the hand of the maid next to him, opened the lid to reveal a few toys inside, and said to the little prince: “His Royal Highness, these are some toys given to you by the minister. “
There is a rocking wooden horse in the box, Huarong Road, Jiulianhuan, and a small deer made of a large piece of crystal mud.
That Huarong Road and Jiulianhuan are nothing new, so the little prince directly picked up the little mud deer.
Seeing the little prince playing happily, the corner of Shi Guozhang’s mouth was slightly raised.
The mother gu is sealed in the crystal mud, and children will inevitably rub against their hands when they are pinching and playing. He has heard clearly. Queen Shi pays attention to the filial piety etiquette of the prince. Therefore, the crown prince must greet the emperor twice every day.
Although the emperor’s bedroom is now under supervision, the prince is free to come and go. After the mother Gu is dehydrated, it can still survive for three hours. As long as the crown prince has the mother Gu on his hands and gets close to Liu Hao, Liu Hao will surely die!
Queen Shi slowly picked up a cup of tea and said to the prince: “Go, give your grandfather a cup of tea, he has not eaten the tea you worship!”
When the little prince heard this, he obediently picked up the teacup and gave it to his grandfather.
Shi Yikuan didn’t even dare to say it.
Empress Shi smiled slightly and said: “Although there are differences between monarchs and ministers, you are his grandfather after all, even if he becomes emperor in the future, he will still respect you this cup of tea. Parents and elders, after all, must know how to be filial and righteous…”
Usually at this time, Liu Hao has to refill the medicine again, and the medicine feeding is usually done by Queen Shi, so every time Queen Shi will lead the prince with him.
After hearing that the prince had followed the queen into the palace, Shi Yikuan breathed a sigh of relief and nervously waited for the news that Long Live had died of a stroke.
As long as the emperor dies, his widowed daughter has no choice but to rely on the strength of her family to support her young eldest son on the throne.
When the time comes, Cui Xingzhou will not be able to help him even if the evidence is like a mountain.
Shi Yikuan thought of this, but he began to wait for the news of the bad news in the palace with peace of mind.
But waiting left and right, but no one has come to knock on the door of Shifu.
How could it be so quiet.
Shi Yikuan couldn’t sit still, so he sent people to inquire about the news in the palace, but the people sent out did not come back until it was dark.
Shi Yikuan couldn’t sit still anymore, so he could only send someone to find Cui Xingdi.
On weekdays, Shi Yikuan would never take risks and go to such a secret date in an unfamiliar place.
But now, he has murdered Jin Wanzai but he doesn’t know the good or bad outcome. The prosperity and wealth of the whole family will soon be in danger, so he must find a competent person to discuss.
So weighing the right and left, Shi Yikuan could not estimate too much for a while, so he hurriedly got on the carriage and rushed to the long pavilion of the secret meeting.
In a burst of people screaming and neighing, Shi Guozhang and the carriage fell into the deep river…
Empress Shi lost her father and was deeply grieved. Long live also issued an imperial decree, slamming the local county officials for checking the safety of the bridges and trees in the county, which led to such tragic disasters. , to posthumously seal the territory and the widow to show the long live memory of the husband-in-law.
But Cui Xingdi, who was in a mansion on the outskirts of Beijing, couldn’t relax.
To tell the truth, he really didn’t want to see the news that his second plan also failed. But when the people sent by Shi Guozhang were captured at the gate of the palace, he guessed that Shi Guozhang had already been exposed.
So, he immediately devised a plan to kill and kill Shi Yikuan in an accident, which could be regarded as breaking the clues to track down the mother-in-law. His undercover agent sent news from Zhenzhou that Cui Xingzhou had already taken Liu Miantang on board the ship and entered the capital. After all, even if they traveled day and night, they would not be able to reach the capital until ten days later.
With these ten days of work, it is enough for him to annihilate the evidence and clean up the mess.
Only in this way, he will have fewer capable people to deal with Cui Xingzhou. However, he is not in a hurry. The civil and military affairs of the whole dynasty are impetuous, and the struggle for power will never stop. Even if the king of Sui and Shi Yikuan are missing, it will not change anything.
After all, he can always find a suitable person who can be used. After all, he has endured it for so many years, and it doesn’t matter for more than ten years.
“Totong! Long live to call you into the palace!” At this moment, a subordinate suddenly came to pass the word.
Cui Xingdi’s complexion darkened, the emperor… really woke up.
Yinlongwei did not enter the palace through the palace gate, but a secret dedicated passage leading directly to the emperor’s study. Every time, he came to see Long Live in secret like this.
When Cui Xingdi came to the study in a wheelchair, Liu Hao was sitting after the dragon case to correct the memorials. For a person who had been in a coma for more than a month, Wanzai’s complexion was really good, and there was no sudden awakening from bed. man’s weakness.
When Cui Xingdi came in, Liu Hao slowly raised his head, looked him up and down, and said, “The Cui family is full of loyalty, but has always been jealous of the royal family, I didn’t expect to choose you such a helpless person Disabled as a hidden dragon guard, but raised with all five poisons, infidelity and injustice…”
Cui Xingdi’s heart sank, and he said slowly: “Where did the minister make a mistake, I ask Your Majesty to take responsibility, but the words of Your Majesty, the minister really does not understand…”
At this moment, a person came out from behind the bookshelf beside the study: “Fifth brother, what do you don’t understand, I have to explain it to you?”
Cui Xingdi took a closer look, and Cui Xingzhou, who should have been in Zhenzhou, actually appeared in the capital.
He looked at Cui Xingzhou silently, and smiled slowly: “Long live, the minister received the priesthood, it should be a secret form, why did Long live the minister’s identity leaked to the King of Huaiyang?”
Liu Hao said with a gloomy face: “You still know that you have received the priesthood? In that case, why do you have ulterior motives, not only leaking the artillery map to the Japanese, but also using the Miao Jiang evil to scourge your mother-in-law. with me?”
Cui Xingdi’s expression did not change: “What Long Live said, I don’t understand.”
Cui Xingzhou stared at this half-brother who had been in the dark for many years, and said solemnly: “Fifth brother, don’t quibble. You think that you kill people without leaving any traces, but you actually left behind. the biggest flaw.”
Cui Xingdi raised his eyebrows and asked, “Although I don’t know what you are talking about, it sounds very interesting, so let’s hear it.”
Cui Xingzhou also saw that he did not shed tears without seeing the coffin, so he went straight: “You personally brought a pair of child and mother Gu from Miaojiang, but you need to cultivate many pairs, these hidden You didn’t fake it, but did it yourself. It’s a pity that you learned how to raise and use gu, but you didn’t know that this gu has the power to backlash. If you keep gu for too long, your hand armor will show bruised blood spots. , like a black spot. If I’m not mistaken, your wife also kept those Gus for you, right? That day she went to my house to say hello, and when Miantang greeted her, she accidentally saw her fingernails There are some invisible black spots on the top, and then the suspicion came to your husband and wife. When your wife asked me where I was, I was actually halfway to the capital with Zhao Quan. It was finally in front of you and Shi Yikuan, Your Majesty’s poison has been solved. Let your tricks be exposed! You claim your innocence, but dare to stretch out your hand and examine your nails.”
Cui Xingdi of course knew that there were several invisible petechiae on his nails. He didn’t care at first, let alone take a closer look at the changes in his wife Lian Lilan’s fingernails.
However, I never imagined that the alien who Zhennan Hou had made friends with in Beihai was a real gu-cultivator, and he was even more devoted to Zhao Jiayu, who had saved his life by diagnosing him. Capsule grants.
So although Zhennanhou has never raised a gu to harm others, he is very familiar with the meaning of the gu technique, so he told the prince and princess in detail how to find out the secret gu-cultivator people.
Miantang has amazing eyesight. She was able to find the world in the eyes of the insects in the painting, and naturally she also found the clues of Lian Lilan’s fingers.
So the conspiracy that Cui Xingdi had planned for many years was revealed in the small flaw of fingernails.
And when Miantang informed Cui Xingzhou of the biography of the flying pigeons he found, Cui Xingzhou was taken aback.
But thinking about it carefully, in addition to his layout, the fifth brother who looked weak should also contribute a lot.
Follow this vine and find Cui Xingdi’s big melon, and it becomes extremely simple.
When he asked Zhao Quan to detoxify the poison for Wansui, he said that the Japanese had obtained the artillery blueprint from the Armament Division. Liu Hao, who knew the identity of Yinlongwei, contacted the two sides again, and naturally he suspected Cui Xingdi’s head.
And Cui Xingzhou also knew another identity of fifth brother Cui Xingdi from Wan Sui’s mouth.
Wei, the ghost of the Cui family. This may be Cui Xingdi’s secret mockery of his identity.
The matter has come to this point, Cui Xingdi probably knew that he had been exposed, but he no longer refuted it. His face similar to Cui Xingzhou showed sarcasm, and suddenly laughed desolately.
But when Wan Sui called someone to tie him up, he suddenly pulled out his double-edged blade from a wheelchair, and with a force of his legs, he jumped up from the wheelchair, jumped straight onto the beam, and pierced it. The roof, escaped from the hole in the roof.
He has been planning for many years, and naturally he has made various preparations for the unexpected. The bow spring for jumping and the blade are installed under the wheelchair, which is really hard to prevent.
The guards outside the door rushed up and called for people to move the ladder to chase Cui Xingdi.
But when Cui Xingzhou turned to look at Liu Hao, he found that his face was calm and there was no unexpected panic.
Cui Xingzhou thought for a while, then immediately knelt down and said: “Your Majesty, the family is unfortunate, and this thief, Ning Chen, also asks Your Majesty to take responsibility for the crime of lax family governance.”
Liu Hao stood up and personally helped Cui Xingzhou: “What’s the fault of Cui Aiqing? You travelled to the capital day and night to deliver the antidote for me, its loyalty can be seen from the sun and the moon, and you have calmed down this time. Beihai, another merit, what is the sin?”
Cui Xingzhou then asked, “Do you want to block the capital and capture this thief?”
Liu Hao shook his head: “The Hidden Dragon Guard is the secret department set up by the late emperor, to ensure that everyone is loyal to the royal family. Then the Sacred Heart knows the unpredictability of people’s hearts first, and naturally a valve is also installed… These hidden dragon guards were selected when they were young, and their bodies were buried with dark poison. If they were loyal all their lives, they would naturally die in peace, but if they were two-hearted and disrespectful to the royal family, then his death It was very painful and miserable…”
When he said this, the face of the young emperor showed a frosty indifference.
Cui Xingzhou didn’t speak, just stood there respectfully, but in his mind he recalled what Zhao Quan said when he returned from detoxification in the palace: “Long live there is no poisoning at all. Why do you pretend to be poisoned? It looks like you’ve been lying in bed for more than a month?”
When the King of Huaiyang heard the news, he asked Zhao Quan if he had broken it. Zhao Quan wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said, “You really think I’m a fool! Not to mention that Wan Sui pretended to be poisoned, even Wan Sui said that he had diarrhea, and I had to pretend to smell shit. Naturally, it was not broken. , just follow the procedure to dispense the antidote and give it to the emperor… Old Nine, you say long live… will you kill me?”
When it came to the end, Zhao Quan was already crying.
At that time, Cui Xingzhou couldn’t say anything about Brother Zhao’s life or death. But this time back, he can make Zhao Quan relax.
Long live theirs, who went through palace changes at a young age, and then relied on various forces, constantly showing weakness and showing goodness, and then took the throne all the way.
Unfortunately, after sitting on the throne, he was constrained by all parties, and it was difficult to stretch his ambitions. In fact, Long Live’s endurance skills, who have always been nepotistic, should be deeper than his fifth brother who escaped.
He is just a person who can bear it, and he is also suspicious. If Cui Xingzhou guessed correctly, Long live should have discovered Cui Xingdi’s activities early in the morning, but he has been hidden and even cooperated with “intoxication”.
The emperor is testing, testing the Shi family, maybe testing the queen, and even testing him Cui Xingzhou.
The fate of failing the palace test, like Shi Guozhang and Cui Xingdi, will never turn over.
As a king, being suspicious should be an advantage. The emperor of Dayan, if his body is strong, should be able to sit down safely.
After ten days, Miantang finally arrived in the capital. When she was in Zhenzhou, she chose a person who was similar in stature to Cui Xingzhou. Although he wore a hat and did not often leave the cabin, Miantang showed his face from time to time, blinding Cui Xingdi’s eyes.
But she did not expect that along the way, the great changes in the capital.
When she entered Beijing, Queen Shi, who was immersed in the pain of losing her father, called Miantang into the palace to see her.
