Chapter One Hundred and Seventy-fifth: The Prince Is Unruly

The atmosphere in the East Palace is very different.

In other words, everyone was in a bad mood, which was fine. Now everyone had their own ulterior motives. In addition, Yingtian Mansion brought people to investigate. As for Chen Tianping's life and death, no one knew. Therefore, the people who stayed here had their own ulterior motives. Since they could not get out, they refused to walk around, so as not to cause any suspicion.

Then, the people from the Jinyiwei, the Ministry of Justice, and Dali Temple also arrived one after another.

Ji Gang personally negotiated something with the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture, and seemed to have a quarrel, and finally left in anger.

The people from all sides did not dare to disturb the East Palace. They all selected capable personnel. Under the guidance of the eunuch of the East Palace, they investigated everywhere. As for the people who handled the poisoned wine, they were the targets of taking care of them. It is said that they have begun to investigate in detail.

Zhu Di arrived in one hour.

At the gate of the Eastern Palace, the eunuchs knelt all over the ground. Someone wanted to go in and report, asking the prince, the king of Han to come and welcome him. Zhu Di went down from the chariot directly, but there was a whistle and a loud sound, "Don't ask, I'll go by myself!"

He quickly stepped in, and everyone fell to the ground wherever he passed, and ignored him.

I have been in Chongwen Pavilion.

"The father and the son are in trouble to welcome him..."

When the prince Zhu Gaochi heard the movement, he dragged his inconvenient body and rushed over and fell to the ground.

Zhu Di stopped and said, "Where is the second child?"

"Second brother has rested."

Zhu Di said: "Take me to see Prince Annan."

Zhu Gaochi didn't dare to talk too much, so he led Zhu Di to a certain bedroom. The smell of medicine was everywhere in the bedroom. A eunuch opened the tent and saw several imperial doctors whispering to each other. When he saw Zhu Di, he would salute him obediently.

Chen Tianping on the couch obviously was not very good. He looked pale and his breath seemed to be silent. He lay flat and did not move.

Zhu Di stepped forward, his tiger's eyes opened rapidly, looked up and down, and said, "How, is there any help?"

An imperial physician stepped forward: "What the assassin uses is poison. In theory, he will definitely die, but... but..."

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows: "You said that."

The imperial doctor said: "But when Weichen arrived, there was not much poison left in his body. He took pills to remove the poison and performed some diagnosis and treatment. Finally, he was rescued."

Another imperial doctor put together: "It seems that Hao Fenglou, a thousand households, poured water on the prince in time, but the minister was stupid and didn't know. It turned out that drinking water could detoxify."

"Hao Fenglou..." Zhu Di could not have imagined that at this critical moment, the name of Hao Fenglou could be heard. When did this guy change his career as a doctor?

Zhu Di finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Chen Tianping was fine.

He glanced at Zhu Gaochi: "What happened? If the matter is now, if there is no explanation, I will not be able to explain it."

Zhu Gaochi was so energetic: "In terms of wine and food, because everyone has eaten it, it should be non-toxic. However, only one Prince Annan was poisoned. Therefore, several experienced practitioners of Zhengming believed that those who poisoned should start with the wine glass."

"Are you talking about the Golden Cup?" Zhu Di's face obviously didn't look very good: "According to this, the person who poisoned this person may have contacted the Golden Cup in advance? If so, neither the palace nor the eunuch in the East Palace will be free from the relationship."

Zhu Gaochi shook his head: "This is just a first break, and the matter is far from that simple, because the assassin's target is Prince Annan. Even if he poisoned the golden cup in advance, the golden cup would be on the wine table. I don't know how many people would pass. Who can guarantee that the prince's golden cup would definitely be delivered to Prince Annan? If this is the case, then three or four people must be bribed, including the eunuch in the kitchen of the East Palace, and the eunuch who conveyed dishes. In addition, there are eunuchs serving dishes. Although the son minister is not worthy, one or two cunning people have appeared in the East Palace. The son minister cannot guarantee it, but to say that everyone is an assassin, the son minister thinks that this is absolutely impossible. The son minister is willing to guarantee it with his head."

Zhu Gaochi said again: "Some people suspect that the poisoned people were fighting during the banquet. At that time, there were many people at the banquet, which was quite chaotic. Many people got up to talk to others, and some people were drunk and it was understandable that they had taken the wrong cup. Therefore, some people said that if someone had poisoned them secretly in their cup first, then mixed their cups and replaced them with Prince Chen's cup when people were not paying attention. Everyone was a little drunk at that time and didn't care about this."

Zhu Di narrowed his eyes: "You mean, so people who use gold cups are suspicious. I remember that there are only seven pairs of gold cups I gave you."

Zhu Gaochi Khan: "This is just a suspicion. Those who use the Golden Cup are all relatives of the royal family, or ministers and envoys of the state. In addition to the sons and the King of Han, there are only princes of Ning, ministers of the Ministry of Rites, Li Zhigang, prince Annan, envoys of Chameng, and princess Wang Ning. Among these seven people, they are all nobles. How could they do such despicable things? Perhaps the assassins used other means. Since these assassins could get poison, they were definitely not ordinary rats."

Poison is different from arsenic. It is generally very rare among the people. Those who can use this kind of thing to kill people are by no means ordinary thieves.

Zhu Di narrowed his eyes and nodded: "I understand." He ordered several imperial doctors: "I'm good at taking care of him, I want him to live."

The imperial doctors said they followed the order.

Hao Fenglou lives in a guest room, and the eunuch who arranged for him to stay was obviously not friendly to him. No matter how you look at this house, it was not high-end. It was really not easy to find such a place in the East Palace.

Fortunately, Hao Fenglou was more casual and didn't care. He was a little drunk and then he became dizzy after taking a nap.

Immediately afterwards, someone came to visit, and the first one was the King of Han.

At the beginning, the King of Han was gloating, but now he is frowning.

When Hao Fenglou saw the ceremony, Zhu Gaoxu said depressedly: "Do you know that the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple and Yingtian Mansion found a eunuch. The eunuch claimed that he had exchanged my wine cup with Prince Annan's wine cup. Humph, as expected, my emperor brother is too despicable. Naturally, relying on this alone will not kill me. However, such a sinister intention is inevitable to let my father beware of me. As long as I can't find the real murderer in one day, I will never be able to escape. I originally thought that if something happened to Prince Annan in the emperor's brother, it would cause my father's dissatisfaction with the emperor... Alas..."

Hao Fenglou pursed his lips: "Your Highness the King of Han doesn't have to worry too much, things will always come to light."

"What's the matter!" Zhu Gaoxu sneered: "What's wrong with this? Everyone who investigates and deals with them has ulterior motives. They may not necessarily expect to find out the real murderer. They just hope to take this opportunity to throw dirty water on people everywhere. However, Ji Gang had a little flaw. He found out that Prince Ning had not eaten much wine from the beginning of the banquet and had a strange expression. Could this person be Prince Ning? Prince Ning had always wanted to take advantage of the situation and was dissatisfied with his father. If Prince Annan died here at this time, he would have a father who would have a good look."

Hao Fenglou refused to comment: "How can such a thing be explained clearly in a short while? Without ironclad evidence, everything you say is empty talk now."

Zhu Gaoxu sighed: "Then do you doubt this king?"

Hao Fenglou shook his head: "Your Highness is definitely not a murderer."

Zhu Gaoxu's eyes lit up: "How can I see it?"

Hao Fenglou smiled: "If Your Highness wants to kill someone, he would have been holding a knife long ago. How could he use the trick of poisoning?"

Zhu Gaoxu's mood suddenly improved a lot and laughed: "Yes, they look down on me too much. I'm not the kind of despicable person." His face turned dim: "If you know me, you can't explain what my father thinks. These sinister villains, hum!"

"But wait and see, I will definitely not let them do what they want. If I really want to kill them, I am not afraid of him. After all, my father still favors me a little, and I don't think I will trust these evil villains easily."

He complained a few times, but when he saw that he couldn't come up with anything, he simply wanted to leave.

Hao Fenglou sent him out, his eyes flashed. Seeing a person flashing quickly from a pavilion, Zhu Gaoxu also saw it clearly and couldn't help but say, "Was that person here to follow him?"

Hao Fenglou said: "Either stare at Your Highness or stare at the humble one. Does Your Highness have any impression of this person?"

Zhu Gaoxu narrowed his eyes: "It's like the guard brought by Prince Ning. I can't guarantee it. In short, be careful. Your Majesty is also in the Eastern Palace. At night, Your Majesty will definitely summon him. Then, let's see what everyone says, but I think it's not good. Let's not talk about these things. If you leave, you don't have to send them away."

Hao Fenglou nodded and watched Zhu Gaoxu leave. When Zhu Gaoxu walked away, Hao Fenglou still stared at the direction of the pavilion, with his hands behind his back motion.

He murmured, "The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop. Zhu Panyi, what are you thinking?"

However... Hao Fenglou smiled and said, "If you have to play, then I can accompany you for a while."

Hao Fenglou smiled strangely and happened to see Li Zhigang, the Minister of Rites, and he hurried to Chongwen Pavilion with a few followers. Hao Fenglou was thinking. Did Your Majesty summon Li Zhigang at this time? This Minister of Rites, when he saw his words and deeds today, he looked like an old fox.

Then, Hao Fenglou smiled and said, "He is the Minister of Rites, but he is just a small Jinyiwei Qianjia, so he cannot be anxious. Is he an old fox? What does it have to do with me?" Since the accident today, I am still too worried.

He shook his head and went back to his room.
