I can see the hidden conditions of martial arts

Chapter 119 The second prince directed and acted

Inside the Library Pavilion.

Ling Feng flipped through [Biographies of Nations] with great interest.

This [Biography of Nations] is a series with a total of twenty-seven volumes, recording the various countries, landforms, customs, customs, etc. that Taoist Youxian has traveled to in his life. The full text is up to [-] million words.

Ling Feng spent a few days reading it carefully.

After finishing reading the last volume [Biography of the Nations], he still had some unfinished thoughts.

This could be said to be the most valuable and immersive book he had ever seen in the library. He put it away carefully.

I plan to come back and read it again when I have time.

Not far away, scribes were sorting out various classics.

As the library of the Great Zhou Palace, the collection of books here can always be maintained, thanks to the efforts of this group of scribes. They organize the classics, maintain the classics, and even collect books from time to time to contribute to the growth of the library.

Ling Feng suddenly noticed that one of the scribes was holding a brand new book and was putting it into the library.

The name of that book is... [Book of Thunder Emperor]

Ling Feng smiled slightly.

He did not forget the promise he made to Lei Yun on Lei Island. After he came back, he found someone to compile and print the "Book of Thunder Emperor" so that the book could be spread throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty.

It even attracted the attention of the palace library.

This book can be regarded as a name in the annals of history.

"Have you heard? Something happened to the eldest prince recently."

"You mean, the corruption at Tongtiantai?"

"Yes, I heard that the eldest prince has made a big mistake this time. He is guarding himself and stealing. I'm afraid that His Majesty will no longer favor him..."

Several scribes were whispering.

However, to Ling Feng's ears, their whispers were no different from loud conspiracies. Listening to their words, Ling Feng was thoughtful.

In recent days, the partisanship between the eldest prince and the second prince has become increasingly fierce.

However, the eldest prince was caught by the second prince, who read a book about him from Emperor Zhou, saying that he had not only allowed his officials to take advantage of the Tongtiantai incident to extort money, but he had also embezzled a lot of money himself.

There was a big fuss about this.

It is said that His Majesty was extremely angry when he summoned the eldest prince.

He even kicked him hard.

The matters of punishing the eldest prince to confinement in the prince's palace and building the Tongtian Tower were all handed over to the Ministry of Industry, and an anti-corruption team was also set up.

Specially responsible for supervising the establishment of Tongtian Tower.

Once someone is found to be corrupt or negligent, he will be severely punished immediately.

Even if he is a high-ranking official, he will show no mercy.

…………

Return to Tianxin Palace.

When Ling Feng passed by Tianyi Palace, his spiritual consciousness spread out and he observed Taoist Tongtian and found that he was having a tryst with someone at this moment.

And the person who had the tryst was none other than the queen.

Ling Feng had a strange look on his face.

From the [Conong Dragon Skill], he guessed that Taoist Tongtian was having an affair with someone from the royal family, but he didn't expect that it was actually the queen.

The other party is the queen of a country whose mother is in the world.

This Taoist Tongtian is really quite capable.

Ling Feng couldn't help but pity Emperor Zhou.

Even my queen couldn't stand it, this hat was too green.

Observing the Tianyi Palace with his spiritual sense, Taoist Tongtian seemed to have something. He frowned slightly, then stood up and walked towards the window and took a glance.

Seeing Ling Feng walking away, his pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly.

"It's him……"

"Has he already discovered the affair between me and the queen?"

He suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart.

The queen next to her also walked up, glanced out the window, then turned pale with fright, and then said: "He should be just passing by."

"Well, I hope so."

Taoist Tongtian nodded slightly.

And what if the other party really finds out? Without any evidence, even if he complained to Emperor Zhou, there would be nothing he could do.

"Master, it's been so long, why haven't you taken action to deal with this person?" The queen looked at the direction Ling Feng left and said with some dissatisfaction.

"As I said, this person is not a trivial matter. Taking action rashly will only be counterproductive. Moreover, I think he should already know something, but he has not taken any action. It is really unwise to touch him at this time."

Tongtian Taoist was thoughtful.

"Master is saying that he already knows your identity?"

"Well, it's very possible that he has been to Tianlong Island, and the Deadpool I trained also died in his hands." Taoist Tongtian's eyes showed a hint of gloom.

It took him a lot of effort to train Deadpool, even more carefully than before to train Liu Yuan, and he was his true right-hand man.

Contacting the overseas islands or collecting various martial arts from Da Zhou were all done secretly for him by this deadpool.

But now, the other party died in Ling Feng's hands, which made it extremely inconvenient for him to do many things, and he had to do many things himself.

"If he knew the master's identity, why didn't he tell His Majesty? Since he returned to the palace, he has not made any moves."

"It's unclear. Maybe it's because he has no evidence, or maybe he has some other purpose, but in short, this person can't move for the time being."

"Well, if the second prince really has this person to help him, my prince will be in danger. In addition, he has not been favored by your majesty recently, and he is getting further and further away from that position."

The queen said worriedly.

Taoist Tongtian put his arm around her waist and said calmly: "Don't worry, I will be with you in everything. I will let our son ascend the throne!"

…………

"Haha, the eldest prince is so greedy that he even dared to embezzle the money needed to build Tongtiantai. Now, his position in His Majesty's heart has been greatly reduced. After this incident, the second prince is one step closer to the throne!"

Liu Yuan came to Tianxin Palace in Lingfeng.

While drinking with him, he couldn't help but laugh and was in a great mood.

Ling Feng also smiled slightly when he heard this, "The eldest prince made a mistake and seems to have lost the qualification to compete with the second prince."

"Oh, the eldest prince has spent a lot of money on party struggles over the years. He has spent money on winning over officials and smoothing relationships. And building the Tongtian Tower requires a lot of financial resources. With his nature, he can't resist the temptation and line his own pockets. It's reasonable. In short, he was confused, which saved us a lot of trouble." Liu Yuan chuckled and was very optimistic about the future.

"It's better not to be careless. Let the second prince restrain himself a little. Don't chase the eldest prince fiercely. After all, he is your majesty's prince. Now that he has made such a big mistake, your majesty will deal with it personally. If the second prince is here If we continue to add insult to injury, His Majesty will be dissatisfied."

Ling Feng said lightly.

"Well, don't worry, the Second Prince naturally knows what's going on."

After sending Liu Yuan away, Ling Feng sat in the courtyard, thoughtful.

I feel like this is all going too smoothly.

Taoist Tongtian has not really taken action yet.

After thinking about it for a while, he stopped thinking about it. The second prince, Liu Yuan, would naturally have to worry about the party disputes, so he didn't have to pay too much attention to it.

In short, if Taoist Tongtian takes action, he can take action again.

With his strength, he had already ignored a Tongtian Taoist.

As long as he wanted to, he could even personally take the second prince to the main hall and use absolute force to force Emperor Zhou to abdicate.

It's just that this will be charged with treason.

The records in future history books will not be so pretty.

time flies.

Another month has passed.

Because the second prince had participated in the first prince's work, the people of the first prince's lineage could no longer get involved in the construction of Tongtian Tower. In addition, the anti-corruption team established by Emperor Zhou to supervise the corruption of officials and excessive extortion had greatly increased. The construction progress of Tongtian Tower has also been accelerated a lot.

Relatively speaking, without corruption, the pressure on the people would be great.

This is also the intention of the second prince.

Since the construction of Tongtiantai cannot be stopped, it is best to reduce the resistance to the greatest extent and reduce the pressure on the people.

Because of this incident, the second prince's prestige among the people has increased again.

The reputation of virtue spread throughout the capital.

In the past, Emperor Zhou would have definitely criticized the second prince.

But in recent days, for some reason, Emperor Zhou's favor towards the second prince has become more and more intense. Seeing the second prince's reputation and prestige rising, he was not afraid and even praised him more.

A picture of a loving father and filial son.

On the contrary, the eldest prince, whom Emperor Zhou had previously supported, became increasingly indifferent to him.

This left all the civil and military officials a little confused.

It can only be said that the emperor's heart is unpredictable.

But when the second prince was at the height of his power, he suddenly fell ill.

This disease came suddenly.

The day before he fell ill, he was seen training soldiers in the martial arts field, but the next day, he was bedridden.

Emperor Zhou sent an imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

Got a shocking result...

The second prince is poisoned.

Emperor Zhou was furious and furious in the main hall, "Poisoned? In this royal capital, someone dares to poison a prince!!"

"Who is so bold!! Let the Criminal Department investigate thoroughly for me!"

"There is also Taiyuan Hospital. No matter what method you use, I must rescue the second prince! Otherwise, you will be questioned!"

Emperor Zhou was furious and issued several orders in succession.

Naturally, the imperial doctors did not dare to neglect and went to the Second Prince's Mansion one after another.

After everyone is gone.

Emperor Zhou calmed down a little and said to the eunuch beside him: "Ask the secret guards to investigate the poisoning of the second prince! See if it is related to the eldest prince!"

His eyes were extremely cold. When he mentioned the eldest prince, his eyes became colder.

It is completely different from how he favored the eldest prince before. It can even be said that how much he favored the eldest prince before, he is now so indifferent.

As a loyal eunuch who has always been with Emperor Zhou, he naturally knew the reason, but he did not dare to say anything.

After saying yes, he went down to do some work.

Ling Feng had also heard about the poisoning of the second prince. When he found out about it, he was reading in the library as usual.

It was a big deal.

The scribes near him couldn't help but whisper.

"Have you actually been poisoned?"

Taoist Tongtian, the First Prince, the Dragon Slaying Society...

Suspects passed through his mind one by one.

In less than a day, the news of the second prince's poisoning spread among the powerful circles of the royal capital, and some people were talking about it privately.

Many people suspected that the eldest prince was responsible.

After all, the second prince is now at the height of his power. On the other hand, the eldest prince, although he still has some followers, is no longer as strong as before.

In the party struggle with the second prince, he was at a disadvantage.

If the second prince dies, the one who will benefit the most will naturally be the eldest prince.

Therefore, he was also regarded as the first suspect.

"I heard that the second prince visited the eldest prince's mansion the day before he was poisoned. He said he was visiting his brother."

"Tsk, but who would have thought that I would be poisoned the next day."

"So, is it really the eldest prince who poisoned you?"

"It's very likely."

Similar voices circulated among the upper echelons of the royal capital.

And in the eldest prince's palace.

The eldest prince Zhou Yu broke a vase and said angrily: "Even if I want to poison you, I won't do it so stupidly, right?"

"This is clearly framed by others!"

"Damn it, who did it? Did you do it on your own?"

Zhou Yu looked at the few cronies beside him.

Several people quickly knelt on the ground and denied it.

Zhou Yu gritted his teeth, "Damn it! Who killed the second child?!"

"Your Highness, no matter who did it, if the second prince is really dead, it will be more beneficial than harmful to us." A close aide said.

"Yes, Your Highness, we didn't do this anyway, and even if we come to the Ministry of Punishment, we can't find any evidence, but if the second prince is dead, it will be a great thing for us." Another confidant also agreed.

Zhou Yu thought for a while and felt that this was indeed the case.

"So, I have to thank the poisoner."

the other side.

In the second prince's palace, more than a dozen imperial doctors were running around anxiously. Looking at the bedridden second prince, there was nothing they could do.

"This poison is really difficult to cure."

"I have searched through medical books and found no similar symptoms of this poison. There is no way to deal with it. If this continues, how can we explain it to His Majesty?"

The imperial doctors were helpless against Zhou Yu's poison.

And inside the palace.

After hearing the news, Emperor Zhou was so angry that he cursed him as a waste.

After thinking for a while, he came to Tianxin Palace and found Ling Feng.

In his opinion, Ling Feng was proficient in the art of alchemy and had extraordinary methods. The imperial doctors had no way, but maybe he had a way.

At the invitation of Emperor Zhou, Ling Feng could also visit the Second Prince's Mansion openly and openly. When he arrived, his consciousness moved and he scanned the entire mansion.

Then he came to the second prince's room. He was lying on the bed, his face was as pale as paper, his eyes were red, and there was cold sweat on his forehead. He looked very weak.

Liu Yuan next to him was anxious.

After seeing Ling Feng coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Ling Feng, you are finally here. You must save the second prince."

"Well, let me diagnose and treat him first."

Ling Feng walked up to Liu Yuan and felt his pulse.

Inputting a ray of true energy, it wandered inside the opponent's body. With a movement of consciousness and golden eyes, he carefully observed the physical condition of the second prince.

But gradually, something strange appeared on his face.

The opponent's poison is indeed tricky. It is extremely complicated when combined with insect poison and flower poison. It's no wonder that the imperial doctors were at a loss what to do.

But this poison is tough, but not fatal!

Who poisoned the second prince but spared his life?

Moreover, the second prince looked weak and dying on the surface, but in fact, it was not a problem for him to get up and run a few laps at this moment.

The other party is pretending.

Thinking of this, Ling Feng roughly guessed something.

This poisoning incident was probably just directed and acted by the second prince!

The reason is to step on the eldest prince who has already fallen into a trough, so that there is really no way for him to make a comeback!

But it's not possible to act openly.

Emperor Zhou would be dissatisfied.

So he poisoned himself, and if he died, the biggest beneficiary would be the eldest prince, and everyone would point the finger at him.

Even if no substantive evidence can be found, the fact that the eldest prince is a suspected poisoner will definitely be implanted in the hearts of the Zhou emperor, officials and people.

In addition, the person who poisoned the poison has not been found for a long time. At this point, even if the eldest prince really jumped into the Yellow River, he would not be able to clean himself.

"It's really cruel to actually poison yourself."

Ling Feng clicked his tongue in surprise.

Then he said calmly: "Don't worry, I can cure this poison."

After saying that, he injected a large amount of Qi from the [Green Fire Art] into the second prince's body, and at the same time slashed the other prince's wrist.

The black poisonous blood was forced out, and Liu Yuan quickly found a basin to catch it.

After a while, the black blood gradually turned into normal red.

Ling Feng took out another bottle and filled some.

After seeing everyone's puzzled looks, he said calmly: "This poison is quite special. I will pack some blood and take it back to study."

No one asked any more questions.

On the bed, the second prince's pale face gradually improved.

He glanced at Ling Feng in surprise, but he also knew that his goal had been achieved and there was no need to pretend anymore.

It's better to give Ling Feng some credit.

So he said: "Thank you Ling for your support, I'm much better."

The doctors nearby came forward to diagnose and treat him, and they couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief when they found that the poison in the other party's body had been completely forced out.

"Ling Gongfeng is really clever. The poison in the second prince's body has been completely forced out. All he needs to do next is to take good care of himself."

"I will prescribe some prescriptions for the second prince's recovery later."

The doctors looked at Ling Feng with deep gratitude in their eyes.

You must know that Ling Feng not only saved the second prince, but also saved them.

If the second prince's poison remains unresolved, or something happens to him, they, the imperial doctors, will be the ones to blame.

Emperor Zhou was furious. They were no longer worried about whether they could keep their black gauze hats on their heads, but they had to worry about whether their heads could be saved.

soon.

The imperial doctors prescribed prescriptions for the second prince and then returned one by one to revive him.

Ling Feng glanced at the other party, but did not expose the other party's tricks, and said calmly: "Swordsmanship is eccentric, although it has miraculous effects, but it is not the right way. Although the poison on your body has been cured, it will still hurt your body. You cannot use force for a short time." ”

"You should have a good rest, I'll take my leave first."

He got up to leave.

Zhou Lin was slightly shocked when he heard what he said.

Taking the wrong path...

The other party saw it!

"Ling worships, wait a moment."

Zhou Lin stopped him and said helplessly: "Of course I know that taking the wrong path is not the right way to go, but I have worked hard for more than ten years to get to where we are today. Now we are just one step away. I can't give the other side any more chances."

His counterpart, of course, refers to the eldest prince.

He has been fighting with the eldest prince for so long.

Now I finally seize the opportunity and can completely trample the opponent!

Of course he won't let it go.

Even if you take the risk, it's worth it.

Ling Feng nodded slightly, "I understand, Your Highness should have an antidote in his hand, right? Then there is no need to take the antidote. This poison requires the method of fighting poison with poison. The antidote in your hand is also poisonous. Although it is not fatal, it is not a good medicine. .”

"I see."

Zhou Lin nodded.

After talking, Ling Feng left and returned to Tianxin Palace. After receiving the news, Emperor Zhou came to visit and rewarded Ling Feng.

It's nothing more than some gold and silver jewelry, palace maids, mansions and the like.

Ling Feng didn't care much about this.

time flies.

The second prince Zhou Lin is recovering day by day, while the eldest prince Zhou Yu's prestige has been ruined. Just as Ling Feng expected, the poisoner has not been found for a long time. As the first suspect, Zhou Yu is naturally suspected by everyone.

A man who poisoned his own brothers.

If such a person becomes the emperor, what will happen in the court?

Thinking of this, everyone became more and more disappointed with Zhou Yu.

It can be said that the eldest prince Zhou Yu will never stand up again.
