Volume Four Chapter 499 Poisoning

In the imperial capital, within the imperial city, groups of attendants were busy and festooned with lanterns, as if something major had happened. But it's not that big, because this movement is only limited to the imperial city, and after the city wall, it becomes deserted and peaceful.

At night, the moon is hanging in the sky, and there are only four figures sitting above the brightly lit reception hall in the imperial city.

Among them, the main seat is naturally the emperor of the current dynasty. On his right side, the prince sat with him. Fatty was sitting on his left, followed by Princess Yongning.

In this way, only the two generations of the Yuwen family gathered here happily, with a valet serving, and no one else!

He raised his head and glanced at his three sons and daughters, the old emperor, with a rare warm expression on his face, chuckled softly: "Today is my birthday, compared to the last big birthday, although it is deserted. Less, but also happy to be quiet. Our family has not been together like this for a long time!"

"Father, the emperor, is in charge of all the time, working hard for the affairs of the country, and rarely has time to spare. Today, I can have fun with my sons and ministers and gossip at home, which is really a blessing for my sons and ministers!" The prince slowly stood up, bowed, and said obeisance.

The fat man also hurriedly followed and bowed down from afar. Only Yong Ning seemed to have anger in his heart, snorted lightly, turned his head, and ignored him!

Unconsciously smiling and shaking his head, the emperor looked at the prince and said, "Prince, I know you follow the rules, but now only our family is here, those pedantic rituals can be avoided!"

"Yes, the child will obey the father's will!" The prince bowed again, still prudent. The fat man drew a tiger and a cat, and bowed down.

When the emperor saw it, he shook his head helplessly and sighed. This is the emperor's authority, but also the emperor's sorrow. Even if his own parents and children faced him, they were still trembling, not daring to take a step beyond the thunderous pool.

In contrast, the girl Yongning is much more forthright, and the emperor can only feel that he is a father in front of her, and has the right to let the child act like a spoiled child.

Therefore, the emperor spoiled this girl so much and offered her as a pearl. Even if this girl was spoiled by him and often contradicted him, it didn't matter...

The corner of his mouth drew a sigh of relief. The emperor looked at Princess Yongning and said with a smile, "Yongning, are you still blaming the emperor, it's been almost half a year, and you're still not out of breath?"

"Hmph, Royal Father, you brought foreign soldiers into the country and mutilated the people of Tianyu, which is detrimental to integrity, isn't it wrong?" Yong Ning pouted and snorted angrily.

The emperor looked at this girl deeply, but he was not angry, he just said lightly: "Yongning, I don't want you to be stained with filth in the world, so I don't want to explain too much about some things. However, I just want you to understand, I This is all for you, for the future of the entire Yuwen family, ahem..."

The emperor kept coughing a few times, Yong Ning felt anxious, turned his head to take a peek, but still gritted his teeth and held on, not deciding to forgive his father.

It seemed that she could see what she was thinking. The emperor understood that this girl still cared about herself the most, so she showed a gratified smile.

Then, he turned to look at the empty courtyard in front of him, and seemed to be pointing out: "Prince, Cong'er, remember the last time when I was on my birthday, how lively it was when the court was full of civil and military pilgrimages? Why is it so cold and quiet today? ?"

The two were stunned for a moment, but they didn't make a sound. Isn't this obvious. After the rounds of wars during this period, the major forces have perished one after another, so where are there so many people?

However, since the emperor asked this question, there must be another deep meaning!

"Father, this is because we are all prisoners of the Quan Rong now!" A confident smile crossed the corner of his mouth, and the crown prince bowed and said, "If we have a big birthday banquet at this time, and hold a banquet for the ministers, wouldn't it be obvious Tell the people of the world, are we with Quanrong? Now we are just a family for a little celebration. Although the father is a little wronged, it is also the result of the father's consideration of the overall situation and thoughtful consideration!"

Hearing this, the emperor pondered for a while, smiled and nodded: "Prince, you are very thoughtful and thoughtful, I am very relieved, rest assured..."

With a slight movement of his brows, the prince's heart sank, and his heart sank.

The emperor's remarks are called praise, but there is no doubt that they are sarcastic. Meticulous, what is the difference between the depth of the city and the city?

Work at ease? Hehe... Only the servants can do things with confidence, the masters are all issuing orders, the father's words are clearly...

Thinking of this, the prince clenched his teeth, and a cold light flashed in his eyes!

"Cong'er, what do you think?" The emperor turned to Fatty and asked.

The fat man pondered a little, his face was solemn, and he clasped his fists and said, "Report to the emperor, my son thinks that the current situation is cold and cold, because the emperor eliminated the rebellion a few days ago! If you want to restore vitality and reproduce prosperity, It is necessary to recruit the world, promote talents, fill vacancies, and benefit the common people, in order to restore the prosperity of the past!"

His eyes lit up, the emperor nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Cong'er, you have a good eye, very good, very good, hehe..."

The emperor chuckled and walked back to his seat slowly.

The prince kept his head down, but his face was terribly gloomy!

His grandmother's, it turns out that the father's intention just now was to test the national policy of the school, not to judge the handling of the situation by the two of us! Alas, miscalculation and miscalculation, this time, the father's heart is even more inclined to the third child!

His eyelids trembled slightly, and the prince suppressed his dissatisfaction and returned to his seat in a muffled voice.

At this time, the emperor ordered the birthday feast to begin, which was like a family dinner. The father and son were enjoying themselves happily. Only Yong Ning kept his head sullen and drank alone, but he didn't pay much attention to the traitorous father and emperor.

The emperor wasn't angry either, just looked at her so gladly, with a burst of peace in his heart!

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Suddenly, a violent cough sounded, and the emperor's face turned pale. When the attendant saw it, he hurriedly called for a bowl of medicinal soup and persuaded, "Your Majesty, it's time for you to drink the medicine!"

Nodding slightly, the emperor drank the potion in one go, as usual. But just when he felt that his body was getting better, his pupils suddenly stared, and he couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of dark blood, and the gurgling black air rushed to his face immediately.

"There is poison in the medicine!" The emperor gritted his teeth and said with difficulty.

The fat man was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to check, Yong Ning was also horrified, and finally he could no longer care about the previous awkwardness, and hurried to the emperor's side, looking at the black blood on the corner of his mouth, tears were already shining: "Father Royal , how are you, why is the medicine poisonous?"

Fatty and Yong Ning looked at the valet angrily, but the valet was also flustered, inexplicably so scared that he almost wet his pants!

Poisoning the emperor, this is the death penalty of the whole family, can he not panic?

However, at this moment, a chuckle suddenly came out: "Father, you are too old, and it is time for you to abdicate. Today, please make a decision!"

The prince stood up leisurely, flicked the dust that did not exist on his body, and showed a smug smile.

"It turned out to be you!" The emperor's eyelids trembled slightly, as if not surprised, he said lightly.

Up to now, the prince did not deny it, looked at his father with a wicked smile, nodded calmly and said, "Yes, it is this prince! It is this palace that let people secretly drink seven products in the soup that you must drink every day. Erysipelas, Baihua kills life. Once poisoned, no one can solve it!"

"Why, big brother, why do you want to poison your father?" Yong Ning cried and scolded him again and again, and the fat man stared at him coldly without saying a word.

With a disdainful laugh, the crown prince said leisurely: "Yongning, your father is right, you are indeed too simple, it's better to know less about these things!"

"No, I want to know! I'd like to hear what reason you have for killing your father like this!" Yong Ning gritted his teeth and cursed angrily.

The crown prince stared at her coldly, but curled his lips in disdain, and sneered: "Okay, if you want to know, I'll tell you. You said I killed the king and killed my father? But I regard him as a father, he Do you think of me as his son? I'm just a pawn in his hands!"

"What are you talking about, how can you say that to the royal father? Even if he did the contemptible thing to bring foreign soldiers into the country for his own country, he doesn't owe you anything!" Yong Ning yelled, his eyes full of inconceivable color.

The prince looked at her disdainfully, but did not speak, but turned his head to point at the emperor who was already poisonous and had a black face, and asked, "Then ask him, has he ever done such a thing?"

Yong Ning was stunned, turned his head to look at the emperor, but he didn't make a sound, just showed a disdainful face, stared at the prince closely, said in a weak voice, "Oh? That prince, what did I do? , make you so angry?"

"Do you want me to say it myself, or to test my depth again?"

Unconsciously raising his brows, the prince couldn't help sneering: "But it doesn't matter, I'll explain it myself. In fact, you set me as the prince to supervise the country, but you never thought of handing this country into my hands. I'm just a shield for the third child!"

The prince flicked his hand and pointed at the fat man, and shouted angrily. The fat man couldn't help but be startled.

The emperor's face was calm, and he did not deny it, but said lightly: "Continue!"

"Father, the crown prince, as we all know, is the position of envy. You passed the crown prince position to me so early, but you just wanted to turn everyone's attention to me, so that this dead fat man can get it smoothly. Practice!"

The prince narrowed his eyes and said loudly: "As the king of a country, the emperor naturally has to understand the affairs of Tianyu, big and small. In the past few decades, only this fat man has been running around the world. You don't seem to like it. He is looking for hard work for him, but he loves him the most. You alienate him to protect him; everything you ask him to do is tempering him and laying a solid foundation for him to rise to the top. And I, the dignified prince , but he is like a target, he is hostile to everyone, the second child also regards me as a thorn in his side, and he will be kicked away by you in the end!"

When the prince said the end, his eyes were already red, both hated and unwilling, but the other two were already stunned, and they all looked in the direction of the emperor.

However, the emperor never said a word, just looked at the prince so calmly, motionless...
