Chapter 743: Toxic (three shifts)

Xingqing Palace.
It was dark, but the candles were not lit.
At this moment, Emperor Wen De does not need light.
He wanted to hide in the dark, mourning alone.
Only Chang En was by his side.
Sitting on the steps, Emperor Wen De described embarrassed.
He took the hip flask and poured it into his mouth.
Some words can only be said while drinking.
"From now on, I will have no mother. I am an orphan!"
"Your Majesty, take care of your body!"
Emperor Wende said sadly: "I have lost my mother, but my brothers, they still have a mother. They did not get the throne, but they have been prosperous and prosperous all their lives, with children and grandchildren around their knees. Sometimes I also wonder if it is wrong to fight for the throne. Up."
"If your Majesty does not fight for the throne, I am afraid that he will not survive today. The abolition of King Zhao will not be your Majesty."
"You are right. Concubine Xue and Mother Zhao have always wanted to take my head. If I don't fight, the grass on the grave will have grown one after another."
"The ground is cold, your majesty should get up!"
Emperor Wen De shook his head.
"Only at this moment can I let go of the emperor's dignity and mourn my mother like a child. You have to persuade me."
"The old slave is worried about your majesty's body!"
"I'm fine! From now on, I am an orphan, without the father and the mother. I am so pitiful!"
Emperor Wen De poured wine into his mouth. The wine spilled and soaked the clothes.
Emperor Wen De didn't care.
"My woman, my children and grandchildren, how many are sincere? Only the queen in the world treats me best, but she left me early and left. I am the poorest person in the world."
Chang En was afraid that Emperor Wende would catch a cold, so he found a blanket and put it on Emperor Wende.
Emperor Wende opened his mouth, "I said that I was fine. I just want to mourn my mother alone, why do you have to oppose me."
"The death of an old slave!"
"Get up! You are an old man by my side, and I am always very tolerant to you."
"Old slave, thank you! The old slave will be by your side in this life, the next life, and the next life."
"It's so good! I'm also used to you serving by my side, don't let me down. I don't want to one day, I must kill you."
Chang En trembled all over, "The old slave dare not disappoint Your Majesty."
Emperor Wen De was half drunk, and said what was in his heart, his heart opened up a lot.
He clutched his heart, "This breath has been pressing on my heart, so that I can't sleep all night and all night. But tonight, I can sleep peacefully."
He staggered to his feet.
Chang En quickly stretched out his hand to support him, "Your Majesty, be careful!"
"I'm okay! I just want to see the mountains and rivers of the Great Zhou. Go and get the map. I want to walk the rivers and mountains of the Great Zhou again."
"Your Majesty, be careful, the old slave will go to get the map."
The map is in Xingqing Palace.
Chang En took the map without spending much time.
Spread out directly in the hall.
The huge map seemed to occupy the entire hall.
Emperor Wen De remembered to take off his shoes and step on the map in cotton socks.
"This is the capital, this is the south of the Yangtze River, this is outside the Great Wall, and this is... hiccup... I have been to these places. I have traveled all over the mountains and rivers of the Great Zhou in my footsteps. I have won the throne and my name is right. Who dares to say My position is not right, and I will punish his nine families. Where's the Yuxi? Go get the Yuxi."
"Your Majesty wants Yuxi?"
"Yes! I want to pass on the jade seal of the country, you go get it."
Chang En had a big head, so he obediently got the Chuanguo Yuxi.
Emperor Wen De was half drunk, his mind sober, but his movements were very slow.
He picked up the jade seal with both hands and staggered on the map. Look down, point to somewhere in the southwest, and laugh.
Snapped!
The jade seal fell, leaving a red seal on the map.
"Who said that my position was not right? Who said that the ruling of the jade seal of the country was false? Go, kill Liu Ling!"
Chang En was shocked.
"Your Majesty didn't mean to keep him, he wanted him to see the death under his belly and his family one by one, and put their heads in front of him."
Emperor Wende was stunned, "I have said such things?"
"It's true, the old slave dare not deceive your Majesty."
"That's it! I have changed my mind now, you take someone to kill him."
Chang En embarrassed.
Is he decree or not?
What if Emperor Wende wakes up and regrets it?
"Your Majesty is going to kill Liu Ling now? It's dark, can you kill him again tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow will do too! Keep him wasting food and kill a hundred."
"Old slave abides by the order! I'll deal with it tomorrow."
Emperor Wende laughed, and finally hugged the Jade Seal of the Chuanguo, took a trip to the map, and fell asleep.
This exhausted Chang En.
No one can believe it.
Only a few godsons could be called, and the power of a great deal was abolished before the Emperor Wen De was brought back to the bed.
...
Ren Qiu is also drinking.
After Lu Shizhong was tired for a day, he was very envious and hated watching him sitting leisurely on the corridor drinking.
"You didn't enter the palace today?"
"I went to the palace. I wanted to calculate the time for the Queen Mother to be buried, so I came back early."
At this time, Qin Tianjian was a little more relaxed, and there was no need to enter the palace to cry for spirits every day.
"Have you calculated the time and direction?"
Ren Qiu was a little unhappy, "The calculation is done, and tomorrow will be reported to your majesty in the palace. This matter should be referred to a special yin and yang house. Although I dabble in yin and yang, I really don't like to do this."
"For your majesty to share the worries, how can you be picky."
Ren Qiu rolled his eyes.
After taking a sip of wine, while he was drinking, he said to Lu Shizhong: "I entered the palace today, I took a peek at the body of the Queen Mother and found a small problem."
"what is the problem?"
"The queen mother's nails are pink!"
Lu Shizhong was stunned for an instant.
After he came back to his senses, he looked around, thankfully no one.
He grabbed Renqiu's people, "You come here."
He pulled him into the study and snapped the door shut.
His face was grim, "Are you sure?"
Ren Qiu played with his hip flask, and said lightly: "Looking at it at will, it is indeed pink. You also thought of it! After death, the nails were pink. I only saw it in southern Xinjiang. This reminds me of the spread A poison in southern Xinjiang.
People who are infected with this kind of poison usually suffer from leg pain, heart disease, headaches and other problems. The specific symptoms depend on the physical condition of the poisoned person, and the symptoms of poisoning are inconsistent. And even a peerless doctor can't find out the problem, only after death will the signs of poisoning be found. "
Lu Shizhong's face was solemn, "Have you ever told a third person about this?"
Ren Qiu shook his head, "I know how to behave. How can I tell people casually about this kind of thing. I just remind you that the death of the Queen Mother is deeply involved, so don't get involved."
"It's late! If you don't tell me, of course I won't be involved in this matter. But now that I know, I can't just sit back and watch."
"Then what do you want to do? Tell your majesty that the queen mother died of poisoning? From top to bottom in the palace, another group of people will be killed?" Ren Qiu asked Lu Shizhong.
Lu Shizhong's face was pale, "I have my own opinion on this matter. You should take care of your mouth and eyes. Don't talk nonsense or look at it."
Ren Qiu raised his hands and surrendered, "I promise to be tight-lipped and I won't aim at random from now on. But you must also promise me not to tell your Majesty that I was the first to find the Queen Mother was poisoned and died."
Lu Shizhong said sternly, "You shouldn't have let you come to the capital."
"Let me just say, I should have resigned and returned to the mountain long ago. You wouldn't let me. Now I can't leave if I want to. I also accepted an emperor's grandson as an apprentice. Apprentice. What do you think I should be the Pope's grandson?"
"Four Books and Five Classics as you please teach."
"The emperor admires me as a teacher, making it clear that he wants to learn something other than the Four Books and Five Classics. How about I teach him poison?"
"Don't mess around! If something goes wrong, you can't afford the consequences."
Lu Shizhong was very tired and reminded Ren Qiu repeatedly, like a long-winded old woman.
Ren Qiu was so annoyed by him that he vowed that he would never mess around, and Lu Shizhong let him go.
...
One night, Lu Shizhong tossed and couldn't sleep.
His eyes are closed, but his mind is terribly clear.
When I opened my eyes, the sky was almost bright.
Lu Shizhong quickly got up, washed and dressed, ready to enter the palace.
At this time, Ren Qiu was still asleep. He is the superintendent of the Qintian Supervisor, and he is responsible for counting Yin and Yang for the Queen Mother, so he doesn't need to enter the palace early.
Lu Shizhong did not wake up Ren Qiu, and entered the palace alone.
Mourning hall.
The body of the queen mother was lying in the coffin.
Twelve hours a day, there are guards.
Lu Shizhong gave a light cough, "The queen mother is not thin to the official, and the official wants to give the queen mother a stick of incense."
"Master Lu, please!"
Lu Shizhong lit the joss stick, bowed, and finally put the joss stick in the incense burner.
"This officer wants to see the last side of the Queen Mother."
The waiter hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.
"Master Lu don't need to get too close."
"The officer knows the rules."
Lu Shizhong came to the coffin and looked at the hand of the queen mother two steps away. The nails were pink as Ren Qiu said.
He knew that people who had been poisoned by this kind of poison would show signs of poisoning in the first three days after death.
Three days later, all signs of poisoning disappeared and nothing was found.
This is the most toxic poison in southern Xinjiang in rumors.
The reason why it is said to be the most poisonous is not because of the blood sealing the throat, but because it is sufficiently secret.
When the poisoned person was alive, no matter what kind of famous doctor or method, he could not find any signs of poisoning. Only when the body is sick.
The most serious part is that the physical condition of the poisoned person is different, and the symptoms presented are also different.
The Empress Dowager Xiao always suffers from heartache.
After being poisoned, a heart attack occurred.
No one would suspect that this is poisoning.
They all thought that the empress dowager Xiao’s heart disease would get worse and her condition would recur.
Lu Shizhong turned pale and his eyes were dull.
He took a deep breath, said goodbye to his servant, and left the hall.
He was eager to see Emperor Wen De.
He could not hide the poisoning of the queen mother.
Emperor Wen De woke up from a hangover, not in good spirits.
He remembered all the things he said and did last night.
He remembered that he ordered Liu Ling to be killed.
He hurriedly asked Chang En, "Is Liu Ling dead?"
"Your Majesty, your Majesty said to deal with Liu Ling today. Liu Ling is still alive."
Emperor Wen De said immediately: "I will save his life temporarily, I am not in a hurry to kill him."
Chang En secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately he was witty.
The servant reported, "Master Lu asked to see him and said there was an urgent matter to report."
"Let him in!"
