Chapter 634 Come, take down Sidu!
All the results were obtained.
"Your Majesty, there is no poison in this medicine bowl!"
Now, everyone present looked excited.
The Empress looked incredulous. "Little Prince Xiang, the Emperor has been very kind to you. He has always defended you when you and the Crown Prince had disputes. Why did you have to be so cruel?"
Zhou Gong and the others had not expected this result. "Dabao, you said there was poison in the medicine bowl. How did you know that?"
Dabao knew that if he told Erbao that he could see strange visions now and that there was black gas in the bowl that was the same as the black gas on Xuanhuang's body, probably no one would believe him, saying that he was lying and would even implicate Erbao.
He bit his lip tightly and insisted, "Even if the medicine in this bowl is not poisonous, it is extremely harmful to the emperor. The emperor cannot drink it anymore."
Prince Zhan was the first to come to his senses. "I believe what Prince Xiaoxiang said. Medicinal properties are determined by the five elements, not simply by whether they're toxic or not. Your Majesty just drank this medicine, and it only worked for a short while before he became ill again. This means the medicine isn't very effective, and it might even have made the condition worse."
The Empress was unhappy. "Prince Zhan, you previously suspected that there was something wrong with the eldest princess's toast to the Emperor, then suspected that there was something wrong with the tea, and now you're saying that there might be something wrong with this medicine as well. Are you deliberately trying to pick a fight with me today, Prince Zhan?"
As he spoke, his tone became sharp!
"Prince Zhan is so protective of Prince Xiaoxiang. Could it be that he wants to support Prince Xiaoxiang in a rebellion? The Emperor isn't even dead yet, and you, a bunch of traitors, are already trying to disrupt the government! Your tail is out now. Luckily, all the civil and military officials are present today, so everyone can see your true colors!"
These words touched the hearts of some old ministers.
No matter what, the crown prince is now legitimate. No matter how capable Prince Xiaoxiang is, he has no status or position. In this way, he openly overturned the life-saving medicine bowl of Emperor Xuan and shouted that it was poisonous without any evidence. Isn't this deliberately making trouble and trying to murder Emperor Xuan's life?
The old ministers could no longer bear it and spoke out one after another.
"Nonsense! The Emperor isn't even dead yet, and some people are already starting to have evil intentions!"
"If the Emperor has no will, and the Crown Prince is legitimate, I will only recognize the Crown Prince as the Emperor... then those who are devious and have bad intentions should forget about it."
"Everyone, please stop arguing. The emperor hasn't left yet. He will get better. Let's listen to him."
"Look, the Emperor has opened his eyes. He must have heard these words. How chilling must that be!"
…
In this sensitive and special period, no matter how powerful the King of War is, he cannot arouse public outrage. He doesn't care. His reputation is clear and he can go out to fight a few battles and come back. However, Dabao may not be able to withstand the pressure of usurping the throne.
The situation has reached a stalemate.
Suddenly, two clear sounds were heard in the sky!
Melodious and moving.
Dabao and Erbao were both surprised!
This is the sound of riding the wind and the gale!
The War King was also cheered up.
Looking back at Eunuch Si and the others, their expressions were obviously frozen.
Eunuch Si noticed that Dabao and the eldest princess refused to leave Xuanhuang's side no matter what. At this time, Xuanhuang's condition had visibly recovered.
He couldn't figure out why this was happening, but he definitely felt it had something to do with them not leaving.
At this moment, if Emperor Xuan died, they would have the upper hand. Not to mention if Jiang Lianzhu and the others came, even if the gods came, the prince's ascension to the throne would be legitimate. If Prince Xiaoxiang had any objections, he would be charged with treason.
He had estimated Xuan Huang's physical condition and the dosage of the previous bowl of medicine. Under normal circumstances, Xuan Huang should not have survived until now.
Could it be that King Xiaoxiang really discovered something?
If Xuan Huang had not died and had been cured by Jiang Lianzhu, then it would be hard to say what would have happened next.
How did they come back so quickly!
Spies reported that due to the rain, the waterway from Chubei Prefecture to the capital was no longer passable. A large number of ships were anchored in major coastal towns. Princess Fu'an and her fleet were still staying in a small town far away from the capital.
It was raining, lightning, and strong winds, so it was impossible for them to ride the golden eagle back to Beijing.
That's why it rained less today.
Because of the weather, he thought it was God who was helping them succeed, but he didn't expect that they would still be forced to return to Beijing early.
Eunuch Si had a bad feeling, but he forced himself to calm down.
A glimmer of gloom flashed across Eunuch Si's eyes. He was determined to win today! No matter what, he had planned this far and could not give up halfway.
…
Outside, as the whistling sound faded away, two golden eagles appeared in the courtyard outside the banquet hall in the drizzle.
Liao Jiu was the first to get down from the eagle's back.
Then he went to pick up Jiang Lianzhu, who was holding her baby girl.
The two of them walked quickly into the hall from outside the courtyard, and Dabao and Erbao both breathed a sigh of relief.
Liao Jiu and Jiang Lianzhu were wet all over, and Nanbao was wearing a small raincoat. Only she was dry, which meant that they were in a hurry and didn't care about anything else.
These two people were legendary figures of the Da'an Kingdom, and now they were returning in a hurry, so everyone couldn't help but look over.
Eunuch Si took the initiative and sneered, "Little Prince Xiang, your adopted parents have returned. Do they give you more confidence to rebel? Heaven is above, and all the court officials are below. No matter how many people you bring, there is no way you can succeed in your rebellion!"
After hearing this, the old ministers looked at Jiang Lianzhu and her husband with eyes full of vigilance.
Liao Jiu and his wife ignored Eunuch Si's words and went to see King Zhan first.
Then, Liao Jiu said in a deep voice, "We, the Six Gates, have been ordered to find out the true owner of Baihua Tower. It's none other than Si Gong Si Du, the official who serves the Emperor! Come, capture Si Du!"
When these words were spoken, everyone in and out of the hall was stunned.
Those who were close to Eunuch Si couldn't help but take several steps back.
Baihua Tower!
An existence that changes upon hearing the news!
The people from the Six Gates obeyed the order, and led by Xiang Zuo, they came forward and surrounded Eunuch Si.
The Royal Guards controlled the entire hall and did not allow any outsiders to enter or leave.
The people from the Inner Guard House came out together to protect Eunuch Si.
The Six Gates and the Inner Guard House confronted each other.
Eunuch Si shouted, "Liao Jiu, you are slandering me! What's the matter? Is this a new excuse you came up with for rebellion? What a joke! My family has been with the emperor for decades. How could we be from Baihua Tower, and even the owner of Baihua Tower!"
Liao Jiu listed out the evidence he had obtained one by one.
"We've already discovered your origins and hometown. You're from Shamen County. We've shut down your escort agency's liaison station there, and they've confessed to some of their crimes. Your ancestors' graves are still in Kaoshan Village. You specialize in kidnapping and trafficking children in Shamen County, training some of them to become your minions for Baihua Tower..."
