Chapter 223 He is indeed not my son
About half an hour later, King Qi and Prince Ming finished discussing things, and Prince Ming left first.
When the King of Qi walked out of Fan Tower, it was already three quarters past the hour of You and it was completely dark.
He came out of Fanlou, got on a carriage, and headed straight towards the Prince of Qi's Palace.
In the carriage, the King of Qi asked, "Has Liu Jinshu's body been moved?"
The personal guard said, "They've already moved them. Prince Ming even led people to dig up the grave yesterday, but they came up empty-handed."
"Your Highness, didn't Concubine Liu embarrass you at the envoy's banquet? Yet, you gave her a lavish funeral."
"Why exactly?"
The King of Qi leaned on the edge of the carriage and thought about the dream he had had.
It feels very weird.
However, his dream was just a few fragments.
In the dream, he and Liu Jinshu were indeed very affectionate, and Liu Jinshu was his only queen.
Liu Jinshu gave birth to his children, and they grew old together.
In the dream, Su Yanqiu did not die, but was appointed as prime minister, and everything was developing in a good direction.
But the reality is different, everyone who deserves to die is dead.
"Nothing much. Have all the people from the Thirteen Counties arrived yet?"
The guard said, "Some have arrived, and some are still on the way."
"That's good.
The King of Qi said quietly, "It is time for the Great Yan Kingdom to be destroyed."
After the King of Qi finished speaking, he closed his eyes and leaned back in the carriage to rest.
In the dark night, the sound of horse hooves rang in my ears.
The King of Qi suddenly opened his eyes and heard a sharp sound suddenly coming from the night.
A long arrow came like a gust of wind and pierced his arm directly.
"There's an assassin!"
The coachman cried out in surprise, the carriage stopped abruptly, and the King of Qi lifted the curtain.
There was nothing outside.
"Hurry... hurry back home!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
The guard whipped his horse hard and headed towards the Prince of Qi's mansion.
After arriving at the Prince of Qi's mansion, the Prince of Qi felt a strange pain in his arm.
"Go and get the doctor."
"Yes, Your Highness."
The guards helped him walk into the side rooms of the mansion. After entering the side rooms, the pain in the King of Qi's arm became more obvious.
He panted and said, "In the entire city of Yanjing, besides Huo Xingzhi, only Prince Rui can offer such exquisite archery skills."
"The two of them, it must be the two of them!"
"You only want me dead!"
"Your Highness, the doctor is here." The voice of the guard came from outside.
The King of Qi raised his eyes and saw a young doctor in white clothes and a mustache coming in from outside.
The King of Qi glanced at the man and looked at him with his eyes slightly narrowed.
"Why has this king never seen you before?"
Qi Lingzhou, carrying his medicine box, cautiously approached the King of Qi and said respectfully, "Doctor Zhou in the palace has an urgent matter at home, so I've been asked to take care of him for a few days."
"I started studying medicine at the age of eight, and it's been ten years now. I can treat most illnesses."
The King of Qi looked at the butler coldly.
"Did Doctor Zhou really call him here?"
The butler said, "Your Highness, that is indeed the case."
The King of Qi said, "In that case, you will pull out the arrow for me."
"Yes, Your Highness." After Qi Lingzhou said this, he took the Ma Fei San and gave it to King Qi.
Qi Lingzhou took out the scissors that had pierced his flesh and blood, and stopped the bleeding.
Then he placed his fingers on the King of Qi's pulse and took his pulse.
As soon as he felt the King of Qi's pulse, the King of Qi looked at him intently.
Noticing the King of Qi's gaze, Qi Lingzhou remained calm.
This is not the first time, so he will naturally not lose his composure.
If it were someone else, they might reveal their flaws.
Qi Lingzhou bowed and said, "Your Highness, the arrow was poisoned and has now entered your body."
The King of Qi asked anxiously, "What kind of poison was it?"
Qi Lingzhou said: "Your Highness, this poisoned person is called Kuilin."
"Is there any way to detoxify?" asked the King of Qi.
Qi Lingzhou nodded: "Bleeding can detoxify the poison. Drain the black blood from His Highness' body and the poison will be cured."
"In that case, I'll have to trouble you, Doctor."
Qi Lingzhou nodded: "It is what common people should do."
After a while, the maids and servants prepared the dagger and the basin.
Qi Lingzhou took the dagger and cut the King of Qi's wrist. The dark red blood dripped down the handle and into the basin.
The King of Qi gently closed his eyes, with murderous intent towards Huo Xingzhi in his eyes.
Since Prince Rui and Huo Xingzhi wanted to force him to do so, he had no intention of keeping the women and children of the Shen family.
After curing the King of Qi of the poison, Qi Lingzhou left the room.
In the dark night, Qi Lingzhou opened the side door of Prince Qi's Mansion and saw Wang Dequan waiting there.
Qi Lingzhou threw a black bottle in his hand to Wang Dequan.
"This is what His Majesty wants."
Wang Dequan put the black bottle away as if it were a treasure, got on a carriage and went straight to the Hall of Mental Cultivation in the imperial palace.
In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Emperor Showa was still lying on the couch pretending to be sick.
After Wang Dequan entered the bedroom, he asked all the palace maids to leave.
Only then did Emperor Showa get up from the bed.
"I got it."
Wang Dequan said: "Yes, Your Majesty."
"Bring me the water and the dagger."
Wang Dequan nodded and handed the warm water and dagger prepared in advance to Emperor Showa.
The sharp dagger cut the finger, and two drops of blood fell into the water but did not mix.
Emperor Showa's face instantly turned pale, and he slammed his hand on the armchair beside him.
"Jing Che, you are indeed not my son!"
He had held out a little hope, but that last bit of hope was gone.
If the King of Qi was his son, he would have thought of sparing his life.
But now the facts are before us.
The King of Qi is not his son.
Just as the rumors spread, the King of Qi was the son of Duke Gao.
"Your Majesty, please calm down." Seeing Emperor Showa so angry, Wang Dequan immediately knelt down.
Emperor Showa said coldly: "Get up."
Wang Dequan stood up immediately.
Then Emperor Showa continued, "Draft an edict."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the dim candlelight flickered slightly.
Emperor Showa wrote an edict on the imperial edict and handed it to Wang Dequan.
"Go to Prince Li's mansion and announce the decree."
Wang Dequan took a look at the imperial edict and a smile appeared on his face.
"Yes, I will go to Prince Li's mansion to announce the decree."
Prince Li's Mansion.
The lights went out.
Only in the inner courtyard, in the main wing, the candlelight was flickering slightly.
Under the dim candlelight, two entangled figures were reflected on the window.
Huo Xingzhi lowered his lips and kissed Su Yuheng's eyebrows, his voice hoarse.
"Heng'er, are you going to the Zhao family?"
"What will happen to your husband if you leave?"
Su Yuheng curled her lips and said, "I'm going with my mother, it's not like I won't be back."
Huo Xingzhi bit her ear and said, "We've been together so little, and I'm afraid your visit to the Zhao family will delay you for a long time."
"Yanjing is volatile these days. Who knows, there might be an enemy at the gates one day."
Su Yuheng said: "Then I will bring the Zhao cavalry."
"My mother suffered so much humiliation in the Zhao family back then, and she deserves justice. I'll take Ah Zhou with me."
The two were talking in the room when they suddenly heard footsteps outside the door.
"Your Majesty, the person from the palace has arrived to announce the decree."
