Chapter 178
Queen Shi was silent for a moment and said, "I can't let my father-in-law love my grandson. My father-in-law come with me." He led Mr. Shi to the prince's residence.
The little prince was playing in the house with several maids. When he saw his mother coming, he jumped up, stretched out his hands, and giggled and jumped towards Queen Shi while hiding. Seeing the lively and cute prince, Queen Shi finally smiled on her face. She squatted down to the front several times and hugged the prince who threw herself into her arms, and kissed the prince's pink and tender face a few times. Then she stood up, took the prince's hand, pointed at the father-in-law Shi and said, "Hong'er, your grandfather came to the palace to see you today."
When the little prince saw Mr. Shi, he pouted his mouth and hid behind Queen Shi and refused to come out. Mr. Shi often went to and from the palace. The little prince had seen him several times, and Mr. Shi also brought him small toys.
However, Mr. Shi was not satisfied with Empress Shi, and he had no good feelings for Empress Shi's son. In addition, there would be a dragon son born to other daughters of the Shi family in the palace. Mr. Shi had other thoughts in his mind. When he saw the young prince, he couldn't help but be perfunctory. Although he saw compliments, he lacked the kindness of the elders.
Children are the most sensitive, but anyone who is really good to him or who is bad to him can feel it. Therefore, every time I see Mr. Shi, I am not very happy.
Shi Guozhang smiled awkwardly and said, "I have come too few times. The prince is still a little unfamiliar with me. I often visit the prince in the future." But he cursed in his heart: The ungrateful little boy is just like your mother.
Mr. Shi took a wooden box in his hand from the eunuch, opened the lid, exposed a few toys inside, and said to the little prince: "Your Highness, these are some toys I have given you."
The little prince was a childish character. When he saw a toy, he immediately became happy, ran out from behind Queen Shi, stretched his neck to look into the box. There were shaking horses in the box, Huarong Road, Nine Rings, and a large deer made of crystal mud.
Huarong Dao and Jiulianhuan were not new things, so the little prince picked up the little mud deer directly.
Seeing the little prince playing happily, the corners of Shi Guogong's mouth slightly raised.
The mother Gu was sealed in the crystal mud, and the child would inevitably rub his hands when he was playing. He found out clearly. Queen Shi paid attention to the prince's filial piety and etiquette. Therefore, the prince had to pay tribute to the emperor twice a day.
Although the emperor's bedroom is now under supervision, the prince is very free to enter and exit. After the mother Gu is dehydrated, he can survive for three hours. As long as the prince's hand is stained with the mother Gu, Liu U will definitely die after approaching Liu U!
Queen Shi slowly picked up a cup of tea and said to the prince: "Go, give your grandfather a cup of tea. He hasn't eaten the tea you worship yet!"
When the little prince heard this, he obediently picked up the teacup and brought it to his grandfather.
When Shi Yikuan heard this, he didn't even dare to take it.
Queen Shi smiled and said, "Although there is a difference between the king and the minister, you are his grandfather after all. Even if he becomes the emperor in the future, he will respect you this cup of tea. As a child, you must know how to be filial and righteous to your parents and elders..."
After Shi Yikuan withdrew, his eyeliner in the palace looked at the prince's movements. In another half an hour, it was time for the prince to greet him.
Usually at this time, Liu U has to take medicine again, and the feeding of medicine is usually done by the Shi Emperor, so every time Queen Shi would lead the prince with him.
When he heard that the prince had followed the queen into the palace, Shi Yikuan breathed a little relieved and waited nervously for the news that he had died of a stroke.
As long as the emperor dies, his daughter who has become a widow has no choice but to rely on the power of her parents' family to support her young eldest son to the throne.
At that time, even if Cui Xingzhou proves it is hard to do anything to him.
Thinking of this, Shi Yikuan began to wait for the news from the bad news in the palace with peace of mind.
But when I waited around, no one came to knock on the gate of the stone mansion.
Even if the emperor dies and Queen Shi decides not to send a funeral secretly, some old ministers will have to discuss the idea! How could it be so quiet?
Shi Yikuan couldn't sit still anymore, so he took someone to inquire about the news from the palace, but the sent people didn't come back until dark, and he really couldn't see anyone living or corpses dead!
Shi Yikuan couldn't sit still anymore, so he could only send someone to find Cui Xingdi. After a long time, Cui Xingdi wrote to him and asked Mr. Shi to go to the Changting Pavilion outside the city to talk.
If it were on weekdays, Shi Yikuan would never take risks and go to unfamiliar places to go to such a secret date.
But now, he is planning to murder now, but he doesn't know the consequences. For a moment, the glory and wealth of the whole family will be lost, so he must find someone who is capable to discuss it.
So, Shi Yikuan was not sure that there were too many things to weigh, so he hurriedly got on the carriage and rushed to the Changting Pavilion where the secret meeting was held.
When the carriage left the capital and stepped on a wooden bridge in the suburbs in the darkness, the carriage walked to the center of the bridge and heard a crackling sound, and the bridge deck collapsed into two sections. In the midst of a loud shout, Shi Guozhang and the carriage fell into the deep river...
On the next day, when someone passed by and found this tragic incident, five or six corpses were floating on the water, and the scene was terrible...
When Shi Guobashi traveled at night and accidentally encountered a broken bridge and fell into the water and died in the court and the country, the ministers changed their fear and privately discussed that there was something else behind the accident.
Empress Shi was deeply saddened by the loss of her father. Long Live also issued an imperial edict, entrusting the local county officials to check the safety of bridges and wood in the county, which led to such a tragic disaster. In addition, the grandfather-in-law was buried with a grandson and posthumously enfeoffed the territory and widow to show Long Live's memory of his father-in-law.
However, Cui Xingdi, who was in a mansion in the outskirts of Beijing, couldn't relax.
To be honest, he really didn't want to see the news that his second plan was also failed. However, when the people sent by Mr. Shi were captured at the gate of the palace, he guessed that Mr. Shi had been exposed.
Therefore, he immediately formulated a plan to kill people and silence Shi Yikuan died in an accident, which could be regarded as a clue to the investigation of the mother and son Gu. The news that his spy sent to W State was that Cui Xingzhou had already taken Liu Miantang to Beijing. After all, even if they were rushing day and night, they would have to arrive in the capital in ten days.
With these ten days of effort, he is enough to destroy the evidence of his crime and clean up the mess.
But in this way, he lacked the capable personnel to deal with Cui Xingzhou. However, he was not anxious. The civil and military officials in the court were impetuous and the struggle for power would never stop. Even if King Sui and Shi Yikuan were first-class, it would not change anything.
After all, he could always find the right candidate to use. After all, he had endured it for so many years, and it didn't matter if he had lasted for ten years.
"Master! Long live to summon you into the palace!" At this moment, his subordinates suddenly came to pass the message.
Cui Xingdi's face was dull, and the emperor...was really awake.
The Yinlong Guard entered the palace and walked not by the palace gate, but by the secret dedicated passage, which went directly to the emperor's study. Every time, he came to see him secretly in this way.
When Cui Xingdi came to the study in a wheelchair, Liu U was sitting behind the Dragon Case to correct the memorial. For a person who was in a coma for more than a month, long live his complexion was really good, and there was no feeling of weakness in the person who suddenly woke up in bed.
When Cui Xingdi came in, Liu U slowly raised his head and looked up and down, saying, "The whole family of Cui's family has been afraid of by the royal family. I didn't expect to choose a helpless disabled person like you, who was a Hidden Dragon Guard, but he was all unfaithful and unfaithful..."
Cui Xingdi felt a slump in his heart and said slowly: "What did you do wrong? Please ask Your Majesty to blame him. But I really don't understand what Your Majesty said..."
At this moment, a person came around behind the bookshelf next to the study: "Fifth brother, what do you don't understand? I need to explain it to you?"
Cui Xingdi looked closely and saw that Cui Xingzhou, who should have been in W State, appeared in the capital.
He looked at Cui Xingzhou silently and laughed slowly, "Long live, I received the priesthood, it was originally a secret form. Why did I reveal my identity to the King of Huaiyang?"
Liu U said with a gloomy face: "You still know that you have received the priesthood? Since that's the case, why do you have ulterior motives? Not only did you reveal the artillery pictures to the Japanese, but you also used the Miaojiang evil Gu to harm your mother and me one after another?"
Cui Xingdi said without changing his face: "What are you talking about, I don't understand."
Cui Xingzhou stared at the half-brother who had been secretly in Chen Cang for many years and said in a deep voice: "Fifth brother, don't make any arguments. You think you killed someone cleanly and neatly without leaving any traces, but in fact you left the biggest flaw."
Cui Xingdi raised his eyebrows and asked, "Although I don't know what you are talking about, it sounds very interesting, let's talk about it."
Cui Xingzhou also saw that he didn't cry without seeing the coffin, so he said straight: "You got a pair of mother-child Gu from Miaojiang, but you needed to cultivate and develop multiple pairs. You did not use these secret things to others, but did it yourself. It's a pity that you learned how to raise Gu and use Gu, but you didn't know that this Gu has the power to backlash. If you have been raising Gu for too long, your hand armor will show blood spots with blood stasis, like black spots. If I guess correctly, your wife will also help you to raise those
Gu? That day she went to my house to ask for advice. When Miantang greeted her, she accidentally saw some invisible black spots on her fingernails, and then she suspected that they had reached the heads of you and your wife. When your wife asked me about whereabouts, I was actually halfway to the capital. Finally, I was in front of you and Shi Yikuan, and removed the poison of Your Majesty's Gu. Let your evil plan be exposed! You claim that you are innocent, dare to extend your hand and check your nails."
Of course, Cui Xingdi knew that there were a few invisible spots on his nails. He didn't care at first, and he didn't have the heart to take a closer look at the changes in his wife Lian Lulan's fingernails.
But he never expected that the strange man that Zhennan Hou had made friends in Beihai was a real powerful man in raising Gu. He gave Zhao Jiayu, who was a life-saving grace to treat him.
Therefore, although Zhennan Hou never raised a gu to harm others, he was very familiar with the principles of gu art, so he told the prince and the princess in detail how to discover the secret gu gu gu gu .
Miantang was very stunning. She could have discovered the universe in the eyes of the insects in the painting, and naturally she also discovered the clues of Lian Lan’s fingers with sharp eyes.
So Cui Xingdi carefully planned for many years and was exposed to the small mistake of his fingernails.
When Miantang told Cui Xingzhou that he had discovered Feige's letter, Cui Xingzhou was completely shocked.
But after thinking about it carefully, the descendants of Cui's family were in conflict, and in addition to his layout, I think this fifth brother, who looked weak, should have also made a lot of efforts.
Following this vine, it became very simple to find Cui Xingdi's big melon.
When he asked Zhao Quan to remove the poison for Wansui, he also told the story that the Japanese had obtained the artillery drawings of the Military Equipment Department. Liu U, who knew the identity of the Yinlong Guard, contacted him again, naturally suspected that Cui Xingdi was on the head.
Cui Xingzhou also learned from Long Live's mouth another identity of the fifth brother Cui Xingdi.
After thinking about it carefully, Cui Xingdi still has the unique pride of the Cui family men in his bones. He has been invisible for half of his life, and the pseudonym used to make paintings is the word "wei".
Wei is the ghost of the Cui family. This may be Cui Xingdi's secret mockery of his identity.
At this point, Cui Xingdi probably knew that he had been exposed, but he no longer refuted. His face and eyes were sarcastic, and he suddenly burst into laughter.
But just when Long Live called for someone to tie him up, he suddenly pulled out his double edges from a wheelchair, exerted force with both legs, burst out from the wheelchair, jumped straight up onto the beam, pierced the roof, and escaped from the hole in the roof.
He planned for many years and naturally made various unexpected preparations. He installed a jumping spring under the wheelchair and a blade, which was really hard to defend against.
The guards outside the door rushed up and called for people to move the ladder to chase Cui Xingdi.
But when Cui Xingzhou turned to look at Liu U, he found that he was calm and without any unexpected panic.
Cui Xingzhou thought for a while and immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, my family is unfortunate. This traitor and slander. I would like to ask Your Majesty to blame the humble minister for not being strict in managing his family."
Liu U stood up and personally helped Cui Xingzhou up: "What crime did Cui Aiqing have? You have been rushing to the capital day and night to send me antidotes. His loyalty can be seen by the sun and the moon. Moreover, this time you pacify the Beihai is another merit, so why did you have any crime?"
Cui Xingzhou then asked, "Do you want to block the capital and capture this thief?"
Liu U shook his head: "The Hidden Dragon Guard is a secret servant established by the late emperor. We must be loyal to the royal family. Then the Saint knows that the hearts of the people are unpredictable, so naturally they have installed valves... These Hidden Dragon Guards were selected when they were young, and dark poison was buried in their bodies. If they were loyal for the rest of their lives, they would naturally live a safe life. But if they had a two-hearted heart and were disrespectful to the royal family, then his death was also extremely painful and miserable..."
When he said this, the young emperor's face showed a frosty indifference.
Cui Xingzhou didn't say anything, but just stood respectfully, but recalled what Zhao Quan said when he came back from the palace to detoxify: "Long live, there is no poison at all. Why did he pretend to be poisoned and lie in the bed for more than a month?"
When the King of Huaiyang heard the news, he asked Zhao Quan if he had ever pointed it out. Zhao Quan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "You really think I am a fool! Don't say that Long Live pretended to be poisoned, even if Long Live said that he had diarrhea, I had to pretend to smell the smell of shit. Of course, it was not pointed out, and only followed the procedure to give it to the emperor... Lao Jiu, did you say Long Live... Will you kill me to silence me?"
By the end, Zhao Quan was already crying.
At that time, Cui Xingzhou couldn't say good about Brother Zhao's life and death. But when he went back this time, he could make Zhao Quan relax.
Long live their young man, after going through the palace change, and then he relied on various forces and kept showing weakness and goodwill, and then he took up the throne all the way.
Unfortunately, after taking the throne, he was constrained by all parties and could not relax his ambitions. In fact, the ability to endure the long live long life with nepotism should be deeper than his fifth brother who escaped.
But those who can tolerate it have a lot of suspicion. If Cui Xingzhou was not wrong, Long Aoi should have discovered Cui Xingdi's behavior early on, but he kept hiding it and even cooperated with "infected with the poison".
The emperor was testing the Shi family, perhaps the queen, and even testing him Cui Xingzhou.
If he came to Beijing too late this time, or if he was deducting the antidote and did not present it, he would have never passed the emperor's palace examination.
The consequences of failing the palace examination are like Shi Guohou and Cui Xingdi, and there will never be a day to turn things around.
As an emperor, suspicion should be considered an advantage. If the emperor of Dayan is strong, he should be able to sit down steadily.
Ten days later, Miantang finally arrived in the capital. When she was in W State, she chose someone with a figure similar to Cui Xingzhou. Although he did not often leave the cabin with a hat, Miantang showed his face from time to time, blinding Cui Xingdi's eyeliner.
But she didn't expect that there would be a tremendous change in the capital along the way.
When she entered the capital, Queen Shi, who was immersed in the pain of losing her father, summoned Miantang into the palace to see her.
