Chapter 1160 Poison!
Zhu Xuan sneered darkly, "Do you know why I trusted the people on the boat?"
"Why?"
"Because they knew about this, and they told me—"
Before he could finish his words, his voice suddenly cut off, his throat was choked, as if someone was strangling him, and his eyes suddenly widened, almost popping out of their sockets.
“Ah—ah—”
A painful sound came from his throat.
Seeing him like this, Zhu Feng suddenly rushed forward and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Zhu Xuan was completely speechless. In an instant, his eyes turned bloodshot and it seemed as if blood was about to spurt out of his eyes. He stared at Zhu Feng intently, covering his neck with both hands and struggling in pain.
Zhu Feng shouted, "Someone come!"
At this moment, Eunuch Yu also panicked and ran out in a hurry. He even tripped over the threshold on his way out.
"Someone, someone, come!"
His panicked shouts rang out in the night sky, suddenly waking up the people around him.
He Yi and Xu Miaoyin rushed in, and were stunned when they saw this scene as soon as they entered the door.
Zhu Xuan sat in a chair, his eyes, nose and mouth began to bleed, and in an instant his clothes and even the clothes of Zhu Feng who was close to him were dyed red. He covered his neck with his hands and kicked hard on the ground with his legs, but no sound came out.
Zhu Feng's eyes turned red with anxiety. He grabbed Zhu Xuan's shoulders and said, "Who are they? What else do you know?"
But at this time, Zhu Xuan could no longer say anything.
The light in his red eyes gradually faded.
Finally, he collapsed in the chair, looking at Zhu Feng, with a sarcastic smile on the corner of his bloody mouth, just like when he just walked in.
There was pity in those eyes.
Pitiful……
It’s a pity that you are an emperor, rich and supreme.
But he doesn't even know his own life experience.
You don’t know whose son you are, or who gave birth to you.
You will struggle in this quagmire all your life and will never be able to escape.
Poor thing, poor thing...
When the last bit of light suddenly disappeared like a candle in the wind, he chuckled.
It also ended his life.
Zhu Feng stood in front of him, even holding his shoulders with both hands, but he felt the body slowly getting heavier.
Carrying some of his secrets, he fell into darkness forever.
The silence seemed even more abrupt and even painful amidst the chaotic sound of wind that broke through the door.
He Yi and Xu Miaoyin were standing at the door and were completely stunned when they saw this scene.
After a while, Xu Miaoyin took a step forward: "Your Majesty, he, what did he say?"
“…”
Zhu Feng said nothing.
At this time, hurried footsteps were heard outside. Eunuch Yu ran in anxiously with two imperial doctors. They were also frightened when they saw this scene.
"Ah? This, this is——"
"Stop talking about this and that, go up and take a look!"
"yes."
The two imperial doctors hurried forward, but when they reached the chair, they found Zhu Feng standing there, holding Zhu Xuan's shoulders with both hands, refusing to let go.
He was so tall that the two imperial doctors had no way of treating him.
Suddenly I hesitated.
But looking at his expression, she didn't dare to speak.
He Yi stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, please release Prince Ning first and let the imperial physician see what's going on."
“…”
"emperor……"
After a long time, Zhu Feng finally let go of his hand.
He turned around and walked back behind the desk, then sat down again, but closed his eyes, as if he didn't want to see what was happening in front of him.
Two imperial doctors hurried to examine Prince Ning.
But after only checking his breath and taking his pulse, the two men turned around with pale faces and said softly, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Ning, he has already—"
He Yi and Xu Miaoyin didn't say anything.
Zhu Feng closed his eyes, as if he didn't care at all.
Of course he had sensed it a long time ago.
Just now, when Prince Ning was bleeding from all his orifices in front of him and slowly stopped struggling, he knew very well that he had taken his last breath and there was no way to save him.
I just didn't expect that it would happen right in front of me.
"What's going on?"
"Looking at Prince Ning's condition, it seems he's been poisoned."
Poisoned?!
He Yi frowned and hurriedly stepped forward. With the help of the candlelight on the imperial desk, which was so dim that it seemed like it would go out at any moment, he saw that the blood flowing from Zhu Xuan's eyes, mouth and nose had turned green.
It's poisoning.
Someone actually poisoned me!
At this moment, Eunuch Yu subconsciously looked at the tea he had just poured for Prince Ning and tremblingly picked it up. The imperial physician took it, smelled it, and then tested it with the silver needle in the medicine box and said, "The tea is fine."
This is also natural.
This tea, water, and the cup used to pour the tea were all used by Zhu Feng. If the tea was really poisonous, Zhu Feng would have been poisoned long ago!
Besides, the imperial study is not accessible to ordinary people, and no one can poison people in this place.
Eunuch Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
But He Yi on the other side frowned even more tightly.
He knew very well that after Prince Ning was taken out of the Dali Temple cell, he was directly escorted to the Imperial Study. No one provided him with food or water during the period. In other words, he only drank this cup of tea.
If the tea is fine, then there is only one possibility -
The person who poisoned him was someone from the Dali Temple, or someone poisoned him along the way.
However, the people he came into contact with were all from the imperial court.
Could it be that—
When he thought of this, He Yi's face became heavy.
Someone in the court poisoned him!
Who was that person who dared to poison Prince Ning? Moreover, he died of poisoning when the emperor was interrogating Prince Ning. Poisoning him at such a precise time was obviously to silence him!
Who is it?
At this time, Zhu Feng said in a deep voice: "Go check."
He Yi raised his head and said to him, "Your Majesty."
"If I can't find out, I'll only ask you."
"yes."
Of course this matter needs to be investigated. Prince Ning was poisoned, and this matter cannot be let go like this.
only--
He hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, Prince Ning's affairs after his death—"
Zhu Feng was silent for a while, still with his eyes closed. There was no expression on his face, but an indescribable deep weariness could be seen between his brows.
"Pass the order on. Prince Ning committed treason, a heinous crime. He committed suicide during his trial out of fear of punishment. However, out of consideration for our brotherly love, I will retain his title. Once the truth is clarified, he can be returned to his homeland for burial."
"yes."
After saying these words, Zhu Feng opened his eyes again.
His eyes were dark and lifeless, as if the sky outside was covered with an indelible shadow at this moment.
But it's not just in the eyes.
He could also feel that there was a deeper shadow extending from his past to the present, which had enveloped him and the entire imperial city.
