Chapter 160: Poison

In Zeguo, after He Xuzhuo was dismissed from office, he kept his door to thank the guests. It was not until the night Lixia gave birth to the prince that He Xuzhuo met someone, Chen Jidao, an imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital.

The two are not only good friends, but also in-laws. He Xuzhuo's second son He Yingsheng married Chen Jidao's eldest daughter Chen Qiaoshu.

He Xuzhuo saw that Chen Jidao had only one purpose, and wanted to poison Lixia.

He Xuzhuo said: "When the demon queen is in power, the foreign relatives are tyrannical, and the emperor is not guaranteed. Now the demon queen has given birth to a prince, so it is time to get rid of her."

Chen Jidao said in surprise: "Brother He, this is a serious crime to destroy the family!"

He Xuzhuo said: "I have been in the country for three hundred years. How could such a thing happen? The demon queen and her uncle joined forces with her unclear brother inside and outside to coerce the emperor to control the military power and government. Haven't you understood it yet? They are trying to usurp the throne!"

Chen Jidao frowned, and He Xuzhuo said, "But they wanted to usurp the prince. As long as the prince grows up, the demon queen will definitely kill the emperor. Gu Du will help the prince to ascend the throne. In this way, this country of ​​the country of ​​the country of ​​the country of ​​the country of ​​the country of ​​the country of ​​the country of ​​the country of ​​the country of ​​the country of ​​the country of ​​the country of ​​the country of ​​the country of ​​the country of ​​the country of ​​the country of ​​the country of ​​the country of ​​the country of ​​the country of ​​the country of ​​the country of ​​the country of ​​the country of ​​the country of ​​the country of ​​the country of ​​the country of ​​the country of ​​the country of ​

He Xuzhuo sighed and said, "When they first came to Zeguo, they said they would never leave each other and follow each other in life and death. But now one has become the queen and the other has married the princess. This layout is obvious. We will be grateful to the emperor for the world. Do you have to watch them kill the king and seize the country?"

Chen Jidao frowned and was silent. He Xuzhuo said again: "As long as the demon queen dies, Gu Du will break his arm. Besides, with the prince here, I don't think he will rebel. Maybe he will not rebel. That child is not the emperor's blood at all. He has always been eating and living in the same place, and I'm afraid he will have a relationship long ago!"

Chen Jidao gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, get rid of the demon queen and repay the emperor's kindness!"

The next day, the palace maid brought medicine to Lixia. Lixia was about to reach out to pick it up, but the child suddenly burst into tears and cried extremely tragic. Lixia was not sure about it, so she hurriedly picked it up and coaxed it, but the child was so angry that she cried so hard that the palace maid could only put the medicine bowl on the table first.

After coaxing for a while, the child stopped crying. The palace maid picked up the medicine bowl again, shook his hand, and shook the medicine and sprinkled it on his hands. The palace maid didn't think much about it, licked the medicine juice on his hand, and then handed it to Lixia with the medicine bowl.

Li Xia reached out to take the medicine bowl. As soon as his finger touched the medicine bowl, the palace maid suddenly loosened his hand and the medicine bowl fell to the ground. The palace maid knelt down while covering her stomach, then bleeding from her mouth and nose, and fell to the ground.

In the Hu Xiaoshan Camp, Gu Du was reclining. Feng Jiu walked in and called softly: "Master."

Gu Du didn't open his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"

Feng Jiu said: "Six hundred miles are expedited."

Gu Du frowned slightly, opened his eyes, Feng Jiu handed the bamboo tube to Gu Du, Gu Du opened the seal, poured out the document, and after reading it, his eyebrows were raised, folded the document and put it in his arms, and said, "Stay close to the camp, I want to go back to China."

After leaving the camp, Gu Du hugged Dongfang Xia Lan tightly and said to Mo Xuan: "Mo Xuan, thank you for your hard work, you can run faster, someone poisoned Li Xia."

"What?" Dongfang Xia Lan turned her face to look at Gu Du in shock, and Mo Xuan ran wildly.

At the Zeguo Palace, Ze Emperor was furious and glared at Li Xia and shouted: "Why can't I deal with it? Why must Gu Du come back to deal with it? I am the emperor! I am your husband too! Can't I make the decision for you?"

Li Xia saw him not talking, and Zedi shouted again: "You don't suspect that I was poisoning you, right?"

Li Xia still looked at him and Zedi frowned.

After pausing for a while, Li Xia asked, "Are you shouting enough?"

Zedi sighed pursed his lips, and Li Xia said, "Come and sit down."

Zedi walked to the bed and sat down, looking at her.

Li Xia whispered: "You are the lord and holy lord, so let us brothers and sisters do it. Besides, since you dare to poison me, he is not afraid of you dealing with him. He will even say that this is for the sake of Zeguo and for the sake of the emperor, as long as you can get rid of me, the demon queen, and protect the country of Zeguo, he will die without regrets."

"But he died at your hands, others will not be afraid. They will only say that you were coerced by my brother and sister and had to kill loyal ministers, and someone will poison me in the future."

"When my brother comes back to deal with it, some people will think that you are being coerced, but after all, you have not done it yourself, so you will not lose people's hearts. My brother is much crueler than you. He can deal with it to serve as a warning."

Zedi sighed and frowned and said, "How come this happens? Why don't they understand?"

Li Xia held his hand, turned his face over, looked into his eyes and said, "My brother and sister are always outsiders. I occupy you. My brother takes over military power. They are afraid that my brother and sister will kill you, support the emperor, usurp the throne and seize the country."

Emperor Ze sighed, turned around, hugged Lixia in his arms, quietly burst into tears, and choked and said, "It's all for me."

Li Xia pillowed on his neck and said, "You are not useless. The benevolent lord and holy lord have always seemed easy to deceive, but as long as you have strong ministers to protect the country, you will definitely return the world to your heart. You will eventually become a wise lord and holy lord, leaving your name in history and spread throughout the ages."

Zedi hugged her tightly and said angrily: "But they don't count on you, they want to kill you, and I feel so upset."

Li Xia stroked his chest and said, "When people live, they will always be angry. Just be happy. You can choose a concubine."

Emperor Ze was stunned and scolded: "What are you talking about? I never thought of choosing a concubine."

Li Xia smiled and said, "I didn't say you want, but you must do this. Only by choosing a concubine can I eliminate my reputation for dominating you and ease the hatred of the court officials towards me. This is impossible. Who made you the emperor?"

Zedi shook his head and said, "The uncle will not agree."

Li Xia said, "Listen to what you said, you are the emperor, he is the uncle, and choosing a concubine is a matter of the palace. He is a foreign minister, and it is his turn to agree or not? Could it be that in your heart, he is a treacherous hero who holds troops and holds the master?"

Zedi frowned and said, "That's not what I mean."

Li Xia stroked his face and said with a smile: "I know, but my brother is not a reckless man. He will not advise you to choose a concubine, because he is my brother, so naturally I hope you can stay with me forever. But if you really want to choose a concubine, he will not object, because you are the emperor and he is the subject."

Emperor Ze was silent for a moment and said, "But I don't want to choose a concubine."

Li Xiachen said: "You must choose. I will choose it after my brother has dealt with the poisoning matter. This matter will be decided!"

Gu Du returned to the imperial city and went directly to the palace to meet him. Dongfang Xia Lan asked him softly: "Don't you need to mobilize troops?"

Gu Du replied: "See the Emperor first, I am not here to advise the army, I am here to deal with the Emperor with the right to deal with it."

The eunuch Wei Qing walked over quickly and saluted Gu Du and said, "Uncle, the emperor calls you to meet in the inner palace."
