Concubine Xian didn't know Jiu Qingzi's identity, but she felt extremely uneasy when she heard him calling him "brother."
Tao Yaoyao was surprised. She didn't expect that this carefree and unruly old man was actually a prince. There must be a story for such a person to stay away from the hustle and bustle and live in seclusion in the mountains and forests.
Xie Lan was still worried that she would be frightened by today's battle, but he didn't expect that she would still be thinking about gossip at this time. With a look of helplessness, he stepped forward and took the dagger in her hand, and then put it on himself.
"That's my dagger."
"I will keep it safe for you first."
Seeing this, the emperor frowned again and reminded, "King Dingbei, I have said that she is not someone you should worry about."
"What if I just want to miss you?" Saying these meaningless words to this king here.”
"You..." The emperor was angry.
After the Queen Mother came back to her senses, she looked at Jiu Qingzi in disbelief, "Did you poison the third prince?"
"So what?" Jiu Qingzi said casually, "For a person like him who has committed such a heinous crime, death by poisoning is already the best outcome."
"What are you talking about? The third prince has done nothing..." Concubine Xian argued.
Jiu Qingzi said disdainfully, "Do you believe this?"
The wise concubine choked on her words. The Queen Mother also stopped speaking.
At this time, the maid serving in the back room ran out and said, "It's not good, the third prince is vomiting blood."
The third prince had already vomited blood once before Tao Yaoyao came. The imperial doctor said that his medicine could only last until the third prince vomited blood three times, which meant that the third prince vomited blood again would be the day he died...
Thinking of this, Concubine Xian looked at Jiu Qingzi anxiously. She didn't dare to beg him, so she threatened Tao Yaoyao with the Tao family, "If you don't let Jiu Qingzi hand over the antidote, I will have Tao Shian killed. "
Tao Yaoyao laughed at Concubine Xian's shamelessness, "After my mother passed away, Tao Shi'an allowed my concubines to humiliate me. The servants in the house can make things difficult for my master. For such a father, whether he is dead or alive, you Think I'll care?
In fact, if Concubine Xian could kill these people for me today, I would still like to thank you. "
When Tao Yaoyao talked about the exciting part, her eyes were full of excitement, "Let's do this. If Concubine Xian helps me kill Tao Shi'an, I can intercede for you once. If you can kill all of them, I will let you Senior Jiu Qingzi hands over the antidote."
Concubine Xian's mind was now occupied with saving the third prince. When she heard this, she knew that the proposal was absurd, but she couldn't help but ask, "Will he really give it to you?"
"Senior Jiu Qingzi hates injustice the most. If he knew what the Tao family did, he would definitely feel sympathy for me. It's just a packet of antidote, he will give it to me."
After Tao Yaoyao finished speaking, she was afraid that he wouldn't believe it, so she deliberately asked Jiu Qingzi.
Jiu Qingzi actually nodded cooperatively.
Seeing this, Concubine Xian really wanted to go and kill someone. Seeing this, the Emperor immediately asked someone to stop him, "Master Tao is an official of the imperial court..."
"But my son is going to die soon..."
Tao Yaoyao looked at this scene and felt it was extremely ironic, so she said to Xie Lan, "Look, this person can't feel the pain unless the knife falls on him. Now that the knife fell on him, all his body is covered with pain." I feel pain up and down.
But the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers at the border are not lives? Why didn't they feel pain for them at that time? "
"If they had this awareness, they wouldn't have brought the matter to the level it is now." Xie Lan sneered, "Don't worry, I will find someone to tell everything about today's matter, so that the Chu family can still be around." The soldiers who died in that battle deserved justice."
He has been waiting for this day for too long.
"You can't leave like this." Concubine Xian stopped her, "This is a family scandal. If people find out, His Majesty's face will be disgraced..."
"In Concubine Xian's opinion, the emperor's face is more important than the people of the world?" Xie Lan looked at the emperor meaningfully.
Although the emperor did not agree with his proposal, he did not dare to agree with Xian Fei's words. He was sure that once he nodded, the traitor would have countless sarcasm waiting for him.
The room fell silent for a moment. When the palace maid came out again and said that the third prince was getting worse and worse, the queen mother said, "You should detoxify the third prince first. If you have anything to do, it won't be too late to talk about it later."
"If I really detoxify him, it will be difficult to poison him again." Jiu Qingzi disagreed.
If the Queen Mother wanted to say anything else, he continued, "I came here today to tell you that the third prince's poison was caused by me and had nothing to do with this girl.
Now that I have finished speaking, I have changed my mind and left. "
When Jiu Qingzi left, he glanced at Tao Yaoyao and said, "Aren't you leaving?"
"Let's go." Tao Yaoyao wanted to leave here quickly. She subconsciously pulled Xie Lan over. Xie Lan was stunned for a moment, and then left the dormitory with her.
Concubine Xian became anxious when she saw this, "You can't leave."
If Jiu Qingzi left, the third prince would really be dead.
She only has this son, and she and her family are counting on this son. Once something happens to him, she will definitely not end well.
Therefore, even though she knew that Jiu Qingzi was deliberately making things difficult, she could only follow his wishes.
"As long as you are willing to save him, I can agree to any conditions."
Tao Yaoyao looked at Xie Lan. Xie Lan said nothing, but Jiu Qingzi stopped but did not look back.
"It's not impossible. After all, the third prince died so quietly, and some things cannot be explained clearly. If you pour dirty water on King Bei, won't he have to take the blame for others again?"
His thoughts were exposed, and a flash of dissatisfaction flashed in the emperor's eyes.
Jiu Qingzi looked back at Concubine Xian, "Let Your Majesty issue an edict to ensure that when the third prince wakes up, he will go to the Wenlou in Kyoto City to tell the truth about the battle six months ago, and I will save him. Otherwise..."
Jiu Qingzi's attitude was very clear. If Concubine Xian did not do what he said, he would not save the third prince.
Concubine Xian is unwilling. From now on, even if the third prince wakes up, his future will be gone.
This is not the result he wants.
Jiu Qingzi sneered after seeing through his thoughts, "It's ridiculous that you are still thinking about that position at this time. Don't you think that everyone in this world is a fool?"
Even so, don’t you believe in karma? Your son is carrying so many lives, don't you think everything today is his retribution? "
When he said this, Jiu Qingzi looked at the emperor.
"Just like back then, Brother Huang thought he got everything, but in fact..."
"That's enough." The emperor was afraid that he was saying something he shouldn't have said, so he quickly interrupted him, then turned to look at Concubine Xian, "Look at the good son you raised."
"Your Majesty." Concubine Xian felt wronged and the third prince became like this. Isn't it because of His Majesty's connivance? If it weren't for his connivance and cover-up time and time again, how could he be so bold?
But he and she shouldn't say these words.
"Yes, it's all my fault. Your Majesty, I only have one son. Can you..."
"You think I don't want to save him? But you have also seen that the person who wants him dead is himself." The emperor doesn't care what these princes have done in private. They only need to hide their tails and tell what they have done. If things are handled cleanly and out of sight, he can turn a blind eye.
Once the matter is exposed, he can only deal with business matters.
