Chapter 387 Secret Passage
"Someone drugged the emperor? I don't know." Li De's face was full of shock and disbelief. He had been taking care of the emperor.
Everything he used was checked by him personally, but he never found anything unusual. Food and drink were also carefully tested for poison.
"Did someone drug me?" The retired emperor was also shocked, and then his face was filled with anger. He was the retired emperor now and did not interfere in the affairs of the court.
He actually drugged him!
Is the other party tired of living?
"Have you been feeling something is wrong with you lately?" Nan Jiao asked.
"Indeed, I think it's because I didn't sleep well and was worried about Yoyo. I've been a little dazed these past few days, and I've even had hallucinations occasionally."
The retired emperor said in a deep voice with a tense face, he was extremely angry, it turned out that he had been drugged.
If Nan Jiao hadn't discovered it, would he have continued to be drugged?
What a mess!
"Your condition is more serious, Grandfather. Father has also been drugged." Nan Jiao said solemnly. At this moment, she had already determined what the Queen was going to do.
She wants to seize the throne!
"He was also drugged?" The retired emperor's expression changed and became increasingly solemn. They, father and son, were the former emperor and the new emperor of the Qin State.
Drug them.
It's all for the throne.
Ye Yuan and Bei Heng have never competed for the throne, but the Queen definitely has her own ideas.
"Father's symptoms are not as serious as yours." Nan Jiao said. It seems that the queen kidnapped Youyou Baoer in order to divert attention. Her real goal is the throne.
so it is.
Now that their attention is on the two children, she can take advantage of the situation.
When my grandfather and father become seriously ill in the future, they will probably lose their minds and become mentally confused. Then the Empress may not even need to send troops.
Then he could trick his father into writing an edict of succession.
Has she forgotten that she is the Medical Saint?
Or she felt that since she had not been poisoned, no one would find out. And since they were all worried about the child, no one would suspect that she had been drugged.
She is quite calculating!
If she guessed correctly, the next person the Queen would deal with would be her!
After all, she is a medical saint.
In order to avoid any accidents, she would not let her alive stand in her way.
"Do you know who it is?" The emperor asked Nan Jiao.
"It's the queen. She kidnapped Youyou Baoer to divert attention. Her real purpose is to make you lose your mind for the throne." Nan Jiao did not hide it.
My royal grandfather is someone you can trust.
The emperor was furious and said angrily, "How dare she do such a thing!"
He knew she would definitely want to fight.
In the Royal.
Some people don't want that position, while others try their best to get it.
Nan Jiao pursed her red lips.
She hadn't expected the queen to be so heartbroken. She didn't say anything, but when she did, it was shocking. She must have been making a desperate move.
If I win.
She is the Queen Mother.
Her son is the new emperor.
Is power really that important?
"Now we have to find out how you were drugged, and then we can take advantage of the situation." Nan Jiao said her plan, so they couldn't scare anyone.
They just waited quietly for the queen to commit suicide.
She kidnapped Yoyo Baoer and she will definitely not hurt them now. If she fails in the end, she probably wants to take them as hostages.
"Okay, I will cooperate." The Supreme Emperor said without hesitation. If the Queen dared to do this, she must have other preparations. He wanted to see what else she would do.
Afterwards, Nan Jiao checked the clothes that the emperor had worn recently, the things in the room, and the plants, but found nothing unusual.
lunch.
Nan Jiao stayed in Deshou Middle School. The food was prepared by the kitchen. After she checked carefully, she found that it was fine.
That's strange.
There is nothing wrong.
But my grandfather and my father did seem to have been drugged.
Just as the two were getting ready to eat, Zhan Beiheng came over, his handsome face showing no emotion.
The emperor looked at him and asked, "Have you and your son finished your conversation?"
Nan Jiao told him.
He has already told her father about this matter. He believes that he will take care of it. When he was given the throne, it was naturally because he was considered capable.
So many years.
He governed the Qin State in an orderly manner, with peace and prosperity for the people. The power of the ministers in the court and in various places was balanced, and there were no major problems that could not be handled.
Overall, he was a qualified emperor.
"Well, father told grandfather not to worry, he will handle it well and will never let the queen stir up trouble and disrupt the Qin State." Zhan Beiheng conveyed the message.
The Emperor said solemnly, "You should be careful. The Empress can easily deal with the Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion, but the Empress's uncle, the Zhenbei Marquis, holds the military power."
The northern part of Qin was guarded by the Xiao family.
The Xiao family is the maiden family of the old lady of Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion.
Nan Jiao pursed her lips. No wonder the Queen dared to act so boldly. It turned out that she had a backer.
"Don't worry, Grandfather. I will never allow them to start a war in Qin!" Zhan Beiheng said grimly with a tense face, his whole body chilling enough to freeze people.
In the past, he often went to war to protect the territory of Qin, so as to avoid war and not want the people to be displaced.
There is no external chaos now.
If someone wants to stir up internal turmoil, this is touching his reverse scale!
The retired emperor looked at him with admiration in his eyes, "We need to investigate the Xiao family thoroughly. Judging from the Empress's expression, they must have been plotting rebellion for a long time."
He underestimated the Queen.
I thought she was just a woman and she didn't show anything normally. Although I knew she wanted to support King Rui openly or secretly, it seemed like just a small thing.
He just turned a blind eye.
I didn't expect that she is a person who does great things quietly.
"The prince should be keeping an eye on him." Zhan Beiheng said thoughtfully. He had always been in charge of military affairs on the battlefield and never participated in the affairs of the court ministers.
Although my eldest brother has been staying in the East Palace all these years, I believe he will keep an eye on the people and things that should be paid attention to.
"You go to the East Palace later." said the retired emperor. He was particularly relieved about them brothers and knew that they would not kill each other for the throne.
"Okay." Zhan Beiheng nodded.
After lunch.
Nan Jiao and Zhan Beiheng left Deshou Palace. On the way, she told him about the wood carving.
"It seems that Yoyo Baoer has indeed entered the palace, but you can't sense the presence of the insects. Was she sent out of the palace?" Zhan Beiheng looked puzzled.
If they were sent out of the palace, the queen would not have to take the risk of bringing them into the palace.
Nan Jiao's eyes were filled with danger as she spoke her guess, "She wasn't sent out of the palace, but she might have been sent out of the capital."
"Send him out of the capital!" There was a cold light in Zhan Beiheng's eyes.
"The city gates are blocked and strictly guarded. It is difficult to transport the two children out. I suspect there may be a secret passage out of the city in the Queen's palace." Nan Jiao said coldly.
That's why Yoyobaoer appeared in her palace, giving them the opportunity to leave their marks.
Baoer also dropped the wood carving on purpose.
I just don’t know where Xiaobai picked it up. Although they can’t find Yoyobaoer now, if there really is a secret passage, they have to find it.
"Secret passage!" Zhan Beiheng's face was filled with shock, his brows tightly knitted. He simply couldn't imagine that there would be a secret passage out of the city in the harem.
This is very dangerous for the palace!
If someone wanted to commit treason, couldn't they enter the palace through the secret passage?
Nan Jiao looked at him and said, "These are just my guesses now. We need to find out the details. I don't know where she will send Yoyo Baoer."
