Chapter 278 Taking banned drugs
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Ning seemed to hear the sound of a pin dropping.
The emperor didn't make a sound, but it felt like the calm before the storm. Her heart was inexplicably clenched, and she didn't even dare to breathe hard.
After a few breaths, a loud noise broke out in the Xuanzheng Hall.
The emperor threw his own tea cup at the sixth prince, beating him to a **** head.
Concubine De was so stunned by the bright red that she lost her mind. She knelt and crawled forward like crazy, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Those are your own flesh and blood! Even if the Sixth Prince did something wrong, you couldn't beat him like this. ! He is still a child and has been pampered since he was a child. How can he bear it? Wuwuwu."
The angry emperor kicked Concubine De over, "You still said! It's because of you, the sixth child, that a loving mother is a loser! I haven't even asked you to settle the score, but you are already feeling distressed!"
Concubine De was crying in pain. She had long lost the exquisiteness she had when Jiang Ning saw her for the first time, and was left with only embarrassment and embarrassment. However, she couldn't care less and continued to throw herself at the emperor's feet, crying loudly, "Your Majesty, you have forgotten How happy were you when the sixth prince was born?
You are such a little child, and it will be quiet only when you hold it. You said that this child likes his father, and you will definitely love him and teach him well.
He was babbling, and the first word he shouted was "Father, Your Majesty!" This child only cares about you! Even if there is something wrong with him, it must be excusable. Please be aware of it! "
It's okay that Concubine De didn't mention it. The more she talked about it, the more angrily the emperor became, "You mean that I taught you such a thing after teaching with all your heart?"
Concubine De was startled, so confused that she even forgot to cry.
The emperor sneered twice and walked slowly to the sixth prince, "Raise your head and look into my eyes."
The sixth prince obeyed and raised his head. He just met the emperor's eyes and swallowed with guilt. He subconsciously glanced at Concubine De and then at the Bai family. In short, those eyes were so erratic that he did not dare to stay with the emperor for a long time. Looking at each other.
Let alone the emperor, even an outsider like Jiang Ning couldn't help but shake his head.
The emperor became more and more angry and kicked the sixth prince over, "If you don't tell the truth, I don't mind demoting you to a commoner, so that you will never be able to set foot in the capital for the rest of your life!"
"Boom!" Concubine De's mind exploded. She looked at the emperor in disbelief and shouted miserably, "Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
The sixth prince was so frightened that he trembled all over and his eyes went straight, "My son, I know I was wrong!"
“Where did you go wrong?” Veins popped up on the emperor’s neck, and spittle flew everywhere.
The sixth prince became even more panicked, "Son, I should not let people put things in the wine to harm others."
Concubine De closed her eyes in despair and her whole body went limp.
When Bai Zhendong heard this, he was as paralyzed as a deflated ball.
The emperor was extremely disappointed, "I only ask you now, why did you do this? Why did you target the old lady?"
The sixth prince looked at Concubine De again, hesitating. Seeing that the emperor changed his face again, he became afraid and cried: "Concubine Mother said that Mrs. Shen praised the first emperor brother, the second emperor brother, the fifth emperor brother, and the eighth emperor at the palace banquet. Brother, I missed Erchen. He clearly looked down on Erchen, and even said that the old lady gave him eye drops on purpose.
The son was angry and happened to see the Dong family delivering wine to the Bai family, so he ordered someone to pour something into the wine. "
“What did you ask people to add?” The emperor’s eyes were red with anger and his eyebrows stood up.
The medicine administered determines the seriousness of the matter. If it is just a small amount of croton, it can be classified as a prank, and it is not too serious, so he can take it lightly. If it is poison that can kill people, the situation is different. He has to give it Duke Dingguo made an explanation with the victim. The sixth prince shrank for a moment and did not dare to continue speaking.
The emperor's heart instantly sank to the bottom. He was obviously furious, but he felt an inexplicable coldness slowly rising from the bottom of his heart.
He didn't say anything, so the emperor looked at Xie Lianyuan, "You were responsible for this case at the beginning, but do you know what kind of poison those people were poisoned with?"
Xie Lianyuan looked ashamed, "Weichen asked the imperial doctor to have a look at it, but the imperial doctor could not find out the reason. He only said that it was not poison, but everyone who drank alcohol had vomiting and diarrhea, and the symptoms were the same."
There are poisons in this world that even his imperial doctor cannot identify. Where did Lao Liu get it? If he uses this medicine against him in the future
The emperor felt cold all over. He couldn't believe that his eldest son could do such a thing!
“Since you don’t say anything, I’ll have people search it! I want to see what surprises I can find in your territory!”
As soon as the emperor gave the order, the commander of the Royal Forest Army immediately led the people down.
Concubine De became even more desperate and fell to the ground in tears.
After the Yulin Army left, the emperor was not idle. He asked Jiang Ning to explain the Dong family's affairs carefully, especially the Dong Feng case. After many years, some of the subordinate officials who served in Yunze Mansion must have passed away. Even if they are still alive, they will be in official positions. Yes, it is not easy to pursue the case, but it is not impossible.
Jiang Ning did not dare to say anything in front of the furious emperor. She almost answered whatever the emperor asked. Before the two of them could talk for two quarters of an hour, the imperial guards came back.
Jiang Ning stepped back wisely.
The emperor saw what the imperial guard was holding at a glance, "What is it?"
Wei Guangxian, the commander of the Royal Forest Army, hurriedly presented the thing, frowned, and said: "Your Majesty, I suspect that this thing does not belong to Qi State. I guess I have to wait for the imperial doctor to identify what it is."
The emperor had no choice but to ask all the doctors from the imperial hospital to come over. As a result, a group of people gathered around and discussed for a long time without coming to a conclusion.
The emperor looked at the sixth prince with increasingly cold eyes, "I give you two choices. One, explain what this thing is, where it comes from, and what it does; two, I will kill you now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the emperor suddenly pulled out the dragon sword, and the sharp sword flashed with a dazzling cold light.
Jiang Ning was so scared that she subconsciously covered her mouth.
Concubine De was about to faint. She looked at the Sixth Prince pleadingly, "Speak quickly! What on earth is that?"
The sixth prince was frightened and cried loudly, "I don't know anything. That thing was given to me by Bai You, and it was also used by Bai You to teach me!"
“What?” Concubine De was dumbfounded and confused.
The emperor roared angrily, "Bring Bai You up to me!"
"Your Majesty!" Xie Lianyuan, with cold sweat on his forehead, stepped forward and replied: "When Bai You was caught by the Yamen, he was suspected of taking poison similar to Wu Shi Powder, and I didn't have time to hand it over to the imperial doctor for review. "
"Then what are you waiting for? Bring it here and let the imperial doctor examine it now!" The emperor's eyes were spitting fire, as if he was ready to eat people at any time.
Concubine De's face turned pale with fright. She first begged for her son because she wanted him to avoid punishment. She begged again because she didn't want her son to be demoted to a commoner. Now she wants to beg again because she hopes the emperor can spare the life of the sixth prince. But what could she plead for? The incident started because of her mother's family, so the emperor probably had his heart set on destroying the Bai family!
