The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Chapter 240 : Xiao Yan’s weirdness

Where did Xiao Yan die? He didn’t even participate in the early dynasty!

Xiao Rui was puzzled in his heart, but at this time he could no longer take care of him. His Majesty had gone to the Prince of Chu Mansion. As a prince, he would naturally follow him to show his respect and love for his brothers.

When they came to the Chu Palace, the princes followed his majesty to Xiao Yiheng’s bedroom. When they saw his majesty coming, the doctor in the room hurriedly knelt down. Xiao Yiheng was lying on the bed unconscious, his lips pale, and his face was bloodless.

Emperor Xia sat on the bed with distress, and asked, “How is King Chu’s injury? What is the poison in his body? Is it detoxification?”

Chief Physician Zhang of the Supreme Hospital respectfully said: “Return to your Majesty. His Royal Highness Chu only suffered a stab wound on his arm. It does not matter. He has already been treated with golden sore medicine to stop the bleeding and bandaged. The Weichen has also taken herbal medicine for the King of Chu. , But this poison is rather strange, and the hospital has never heard of it. Now His Royal Highness Chu has no harm to his life, but the poison has not been eliminated, so His Royal Highness has not awakened. The minister is only ignorant of learning, and I beg your Majesty to punish! The minister is willing to apologize with death! ”

All the imperial physicians knelt on the ground, panic inside.

Xia Huang said: “Since this poison is weird, why don’t you go and research it quickly?”

“Yes, we will go now.” The doctor Zhang was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked the emperor and stepped back.

A group of imperial doctors left, leaving only Emperor Xia and the six standing princes in the house.

Xiao Lie stepped forward and said, “Emperor father, the second brother has his own natural state, don’t worry, there will be nothing wrong. Just now, the doctor said that his life is fine, but because the poison has not been eliminated, he has not awakened. I believe that the imperial physician will get rid of the toxicity as soon as possible, and the second brother will wake up.

“Yes, Father.” Xiao Ze also said.

The other princes nodded one after another, even Xiao Rui was able to respond, it didn’t matter if he couldn’t act.

Emperor Xia nodded and said: “You care about King Chu. I am very pleased. This is the end of the matter. You have to take precautions. I haven’t found out the details of the assassin. I don’t know if it is aimed solely at King Chu or all the princes. To protect yourself, I will let the patrol camp guard your palace, and don’t run around if nothing happens. Huh? Where’s King Tang?”

The Emperor Xia realized that, where did the Ninth Prince Tang Wang go?

The other princes also looked around and shook their heads.

Xiao Rui said: “Father, King Tang may have been absent from the early dynasty for some reason. Later, the ministers will go to the Tang Palace to see King Tang in person, and ask him to stay at home honestly and not make trouble for his father.”

Emperor Xia hummed, and said, “King Tang has a tempered temper. When you see him, you just say it was my order, let him not run around.”

“Yes!” Xiao Rui replied.

Then, Emperor Xia got up and asked the people of the Chu Mansion to take good care of King Chu, and he drove back to the palace.

After sending off his majesty, several princes also patted their butts and left. Xiao Rui didn’t rush to leave. He looked at Xiao Yiheng’s side concubine Du Xueqin, who was indeed a stunner, and asked, “Sister-in-law Du, the princess is in the house?”

Du Xueqin respectfully said: “Sister, she went back to the Li mansion to take care of Mrs. Li. She was not in the mansion last night. I have ordered someone to inform my sister that she should be coming soon.”

Xiao Rui nodded, and bowed his hands in return: “Sister-in-law, please go in and take care of King Chu. You don’t have to give it away.”

After finishing speaking, Xiao Rui got on the carriage and left the Chu Palace.

didn’t go very far, and just ran into a carriage from Li’s mansion at the entrance of the street.

Xiao Rui opened the curtain and looked at him, just facing Li Xiu’er who opened the curtain at the same time.

The two looked at each other, Xiao Rui raised her mouth slightly, showing her a smile. Who knows, Li Xiu’er pursed her mouth, nodded lightly, and put the curtain down.

The carriage missed, and each drove in the opposite direction.

Xiao Rui was sitting in the carriage, thinking of Li Xiu’er’s attitude, puzzled.

Why did Li Xiu Er suddenly become like this?

is like suddenly becoming two people, is it possible to have multiple personalities? Schizophrenia?

Xiao Rui went back and found that Li Xiu’er’s sudden change was still related to the thing on the cruise ship in Rijingyuan! She was slapped by Xiao Yiheng, hiding in the corner and crying, to comfort her by herself, but she let herself go.

On that day, what happened to Li Xiu’er that caused her to move away from the Chu Palace, send Zhang Yizhi to Du Xueqin, and even ignored Xiao Rui, full of a sense of distance?

Xiao Rui had already arrived at Tang Palace when he was full of doubts.

Li Yuanfang called to open the door, Xiao Rui went in and asked the housekeeper: “Where is your Royal Highness?”

The manager respectfully said: “His Royal Highness was in the kitchen, and suddenly on a whim, he said that he would make porridge.”

“Porridge?” Xiao Rui stopped, with a strange expression on her face. Did this guy take the wrong medicine? It was so funny that I was going to make porridge.

So under the guidance of the steward, Xiao Rui came to the kitchen, but saw that the kitchen door was closed. The steward pointed to the inside and whispered: “The prince is alone in it.”

Xiao Rui stepped forward and knocked on the door.

“Don’t come to disturb this king, who is going to disturb this king, this king interrupts his dog legs!” Xiao Yan’s angry voice came from inside.

Xiao Rui cursed directly: “Xiao Yan, open the door for me, or I will kick it open!”

Immediately, there was a crackling sound, broken porcelain, and the sound of a wooden basin falling to the ground.

crunch… The wooden door was pulled open, Xiao Yan’s head was exposed.

“It’s Brother Seven, why are you here?” Xiao Yan said with a smile.

Xiao Rui asked: “What are you doing? Why didn’t you go to the early court? Did you know that the king of Chu was assassinated? Father was furious!”

“Oh, I overslept, anyway, sooner or later, so I didn’t go. I also heard about the second brother’s assassination. He didn’t die, it’s okay, what a trivial matter, it is worthy of the father’s anger and making a fuss. “Xiao Yan said.

Xiao Rui noticed something wrong with him, pointed to the kitchen, and asked, “What are you doing in it?”

“Cook porridge? Make a bowl of porridge for my mother and concubine to express filial piety, can’t it?” Xiao Yanyi said righteously.

Xiao Rui stepped forward to push the door, but Xiao Yan actually stopped it.

“Brother Seven, this is my house. I haven’t made the porridge well, no one can enter.” Xiao Yan stubbornly said.

Xiao Rui was taken aback. It was the first time he saw Xiao Yan being so tough. He retracted his hand, nodded, and said, “Yes, this is your palace. Since you want to make porridge, let’s make it. I’ll do it. It’s just to convey the order from the emperor to you. You have nothing to go out these few days, stay at home honestly, and you can’t let the assassins have a chance.”

“Brother Seven, don’t worry, I won’t go anywhere and just stay at home.” Xiao Yan nodded like garlic, not knowing whether it was perfunctory or clever.

Xiao Rui nodded, then turned and left the Tang Palace.

On the way back to the house, Xiao Rui knew that something must be done with Xiao Yan.

“Yuanfang, find an opportunity to explore Tang Dynasty Palace and see what happened that made Xiao Yan such a big change.” Xiao Rui said.

Li Yuanfang replied: “Your Highness, don’t worry, I understand.”

Xiao Yan is someone who can cook porridge? I would rather believe in the promises of men and the broken mouths of women than that Xiao Yan would do the serious things of making porridge.

At the same time, the patrol battalion, Dongchang, and Jin Yiwei quickly investigated the capital, and at the cost of turning the capital upright, they had to find the murderer.

Xiao Rui was also curious about the origin of the assassin, and first asked Li Yuanfang to find Tian Ergeng, and then went to the Tang Palace afterwards.

Now Wei Zhongxian sits firmly in the head of the team, so he knows especially about the control of the capital. Although the investigation of the assassin is under the responsibility of the third division, it also needs the cooperation of the dark web of the first division.

Tian Ergeng got the latest situation.

Last night’s assassin was a female, martial arts at the fourth rank, and he used the sword well. Although he stabbed Xiao Yiheng with a sword, he was also injured by Liu Feixue, the guard next to Xiao Yiheng. When the assassin escaped, he was flew by Liu Feixue. The knife hit the back.

According to the blood stains, the patrol camp has locked the escape route of the deceased on Tianxing Street in the southern area of ​​the city. With Tianxing Street as the center within a five-mile radius, there may be places where the assassins are hiding.

But…

The southern part of the city is the residence of dignitaries and dignitaries. Within a five-mile radius from Tianxing Street, there are many dignitaries, such as the scholars of Shang and Jin Dynasty, the mansion of the Tang Dynasty, the minister of Zhou Mingwen of the Ministry of rites, and the mansion of Xiguo.

Although your Majesty has ordered a strict search, ordinary people do not dare to search these powerful residences. Therefore, Zhang Jinfu, the loyal and yonglord, was the only one who led the way and asked if there were any traces of assassins in the mansions in the area.

In addition, the East Factory also secretly controlled all drug stores in the capital. The assassins lost too much blood and suffered serious injuries. The ordinary golden sore medicine is difficult to heal and must be treated internally and externally. Therefore, all drug stores are tightly controlled. Once someone buys the relevant herbs, they can Follow the vine to catch the assassin.

After reading the situation, Xiao Rui also had to admire the East Factory’s methods. There are so many drugstores in the capital.

“How many people are there in Dongchang’s spies in the capital? Do you know?” Xiao Rui asked.

Tian Ergeng shook his head and said, “Only Wei Zhongxian holds the roster of the dark web. Although the villain is his son, he doesn’t fully trust him and did not inform him. But in the opinion of the villain, tens of thousands of people should have it. .”

Xiao Rui smacked his mouth tens of thousands of people. It sounds like a lot. The country has a population of one million, which is not too much. However, Dongchang can deploy such a detailed dark web in such a short period of time, Xiao Rui highly suspected that His Majesty had secretly set up the East Factory long ago, but he did not push it to the table.

After sighing, Xiao Rui warned Tian Ergeng: “Don’t ask if you shouldn’t ask, follow Wei Zhongxian well, remember this king’s words, without my order, you will listen to Wei Zhongxian, don’t let him doubt your loyalty!”

“The villain understands, your highness can rest assured!” Tian Ergeng said respectfully.

Xiao Rui waved his hand and said, “Go down, oh yes, if you have any new clues, just contact Yuanfang in time.”

“Yes!” Tian Ergeng replied, and then he left the Palace of Xian Dynasty through the secret road.

After that, Li Yuanfang also left. He was going to go to Tang Wang to find out what happened to Xiao Yan.

Approaching the evening, Li Yuanfang came back, but unfortunately he sneaked into the Tang Palace and did not find any useful value. It seems that Xiao Yan’s porridge is just making porridge on a whim.

On the other side of the Chu Palace, Xiao Yiheng has not woken up yet.

The search of the Patrol Camp, Dongchang, and Jin Yiwei was still fruitless. Although Zhongyong Hou Zhang Jinfu personally visited all the residences where the assassins might be hidden, they could not be searched, and nothing was found.

The assassin mysteriously disappeared. Is the investigation in the wrong direction? The assassin did not hide in a certain mansion, but hid in a certain carriage and left the south of the city? Even out of town?

Or was he seriously injured and died somewhere?

That’s it, it’s time for the next day.
