As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 262
Just when the imperial physician was leaving the house, his footsteps and breathing were erratic and complex, and most of the guards in Yuzhao Pavilion were also paying attention to the imperial physician. Xie Zhaozhao entered the inner room through the half-open window.

Now all three people in this house have been arrested.

King Zhou is indeed very wise, but he also has a shortcoming, that is, he is too sick and weak to practice martial arts.

He is the only one among all the children of Emperor Xuanwu who cannot lift his shoulders or lift his hands.

In his previous life, he almost became the biggest winner.

Xie Zhaozhao lowered his eyes and glanced twice, then bent down and took Zhou Wang's pulse. Under this inspection, Xie Zhaozhao's eyes suddenly narrowed.

poisoned!
Her medical skills were limited and she could not detect what kind of poison it was, but she was certain that it was poisoning, and the poison was very violent and tricky, as if it was necessary to kill the king of Zhou.

According to the current pulse condition, the poison has been suppressed.

King Zhou now has no sense of presence in the capital.

Who in this capital would use this method to deal with the current King of Zhou?
Is it King Liang or someone else?
But the King of Liang was in prison, his palace was confiscated, and almost all the people who had anything to do with him were imprisoned and arrested. Who else would take the risk to deal with the King of Zhou?

Xie Zhaozhao's mind was filled with endless thoughts as he looked at King Zhou's pale, bloodless face.

He was gentle and helpless in front of others, but Xie Zhaozhao had clearly thought about it during this period. In his previous life, the country had changed, and the Xie family had met such a dismal end. Although it was the King of Liang who killed the Xie family, the King of Zhou was definitely the key driving force behind it.

He colluded with Chu Nanxuan behind the scenes and used Chu Nanxuan's identity to win over the former ministers.

He also coaxed the powerful and powerful King of Liang to take the throne first, and then asked the King of Liang to eliminate dissidents for him, causing chaos.

He will come out and clean up the mess himself.

The depth of this man's city is simply chilling.

Now he was in front of him, too weak to fight back.

At this moment, Xie Zhaozhao had murderous intent.

This would cost him his life and would definitely save him a lot of trouble in the future.

However, at this moment, a series of footsteps suddenly sounded outside.

The footsteps were extremely light, and the breathing was almost inaudible.

If Xie Zhaozhao hadn't been concentrating his inner strength to spy on his surroundings without slacking off, he might have missed this sound.

Is a master!
Xie Zhaozhao immediately gathered all his breath and hid between the tents behind the screen, and then hit the two maids' acupuncture points with force through the air.

Just as the two maids came to their senses, there was a light knock on the door.

One of them walked over and opened the door, "Mr. Pei is here."

"Yes." A tall, thin man in green clothes came in from the door, "Is the imperial doctor gone?"

"Yes."

The maid replied in a low voice: "He said that His Highness's condition has stabilized, and he also explained how to nurse him back to health. Manager Li personally sent the imperial doctor out."

"I got it." Mr. Pei waved his hand: "You two, please step back."

After the two maids retreated, Mr. Pei walked to King Zhou's bed and sat down. He took out a small white porcelain jar, poured a pill from it and fed King Zhou to take it. Then he looked at King Zhou with a frown for a while. , then got up and left.

After he left, the two maids came back to wait on him.

Xie Zhaozhao kept holding his breath.

At that moment when Mr. Pei left, he didn't dare to delay anymore and left Yuzhao Pavilion.

It's just that tonight everything was really weird, and he got nothing. Xie Zhaozhao was unwilling. After pondering for a while, Xie Zhaozhao grabbed a maid and asked where Mr. Pei lived. Then he knocked the maid unconscious and found her.

The courtyard where Mr. Pei lives is very simple.

At this time, he went to look for Manager Li. There was no one guarding inside or outside the courtyard.

The more this happened, the more cautious Xie Zhaozhao became.

As soon as she entered the courtyard and stepped on a bluestone floor tile, she suddenly stopped and looked at the distribution of stone tables and benches in the courtyard, and her mind immediately became as clear as a mirror.

No wonder there is no one to guard it, it turns out there is a mechanism set up in the courtyard.And when she stepped up, the mechanism had already been triggered. Once she lifted her foot and stepped forward, the mechanism would be activated - not to mention what hidden weapons and poisons this mechanism would emit, and I'm afraid it would also immediately attract guards.

Fortunately.

Xie Zhaozhao learned a lot from her old ghost master, and ordinary Qimen formations couldn't do anything to her.

After carefully observing the furnishings in the lower courtyard, Xie Zhaozhao picked up a stone and threw it over, knocking the slightly displaced stone bench back to its original place.

At the same time, she flew past with a tap of her toes and landed firmly on the front porch of the house.

After entering the house, she became more cautious. After dodging several traps, Xie Zhaozhao found a hidden compartment on the bed.

There were many bottles and jars placed in the secret compartment. The medicine in one of the jars, judging from the smell, was actually the culprit that caused King Zhou's current pulse.

Combined with the fact that Mr. Pei, whom King Zhou trusted most, had just given King Zhou medicine, and his overly calm expression——

He is King Zhou's most loyal subordinate and he is not worried about King Zhou's condition?

Suddenly an idea flashed in Xie Zhaozhao's mind.

The poisoning was probably not directed and performed by King Zhou himself!
Xie Zhaozhao pulled his lips, took out a pill of poison and kept it in his arms. He also took out some poison powder that he brought with him, sprinkled it all over Mr. Pei's bed, wardrobe, etc., and quickly left Prince Zhou's Mansion.

The atmosphere in the royal study room in the palace was very solemn at this time.

Emperor Xuanwu was sitting on the dragon chair, listening to the imperial physician's report on King Zhou's condition, but Yun Qi, who was usually very proud in front of him and offered him a seat as soon as he came, was standing to one side with his eyebrows slightly twisted.

"Has the poison in King Zhou been controlled?" Emperor Xuanwu asked and breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good...how long will it take for him to wake up?"

"Prince Zhou is weak, and the poison is really overbearing. Although he was discovered in time, it will take three to five days to fully wake up."

Emperor Xuanwu's breath tightened again, and he explained: "Take good care of King Zhou's body. There is no need to save on medicinal materials. You can just go to the palace to get them."

The imperial doctor responded "yes" and stepped back.

Yun Qi pursed his lips for a long time and argued: "It's not me."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became colder.

Emperor Xuanwu's cloudy eyes were calm and calm, and he said calmly: "Although the evidence points to you, I didn't say it was you, so you don't need to worry."

"Yes." Yun Qi looked calm, but he already knew in his heart that Emperor Xuanwu was doubting him.

In the afternoon, King Zhou suddenly fainted.

After the steward of the palace asked the imperial doctor to come and see him, he said he was poisoned. The murderer pointed at Yun Qi in the shadow of his eyes, and someone secretly reported that the incident involving Prince Liang in the prison was also related to Yun Qi.

unambiguous evidence.

As the founder of the Qin Dynasty, Emperor Xuanwu certainly knew that evidence could sometimes be created. The more complete the evidence was, the more doubtful it was.

But these things happened so strangely and were piled together.

True and false are hard to tell.

Emperor Xuanwu was wise, but also suspicious.

After all, he still suspected Yun Qi and felt that Yun Qi wanted to crush King Zhou and King Liang to death at once.

As for the evidence pointing to Yun Qi, it was just directed and acted by Yun Qi, who wanted to make him completely hate the King of Zhou and the King of Liang.

He even had doubts about various previous events in Beijing.

At this time, the grandfather and grandson each knew it well, but they pretended to be peaceful on the surface.

Emperor Xuanwu said calmly: "It's getting late, you should go back and rest, and pay more attention to your father's health."

"Yes."

Yun Qi bowed his hands and bowed back.

As soon as he left, the calmness on Emperor Xuanwu's face disappeared, and a trace of sadness appeared in his eyes, "Prince Liang - what did he look like when he left?"
