Chapter 186 I have a few questions for her
"Father!"
Prince Kang felt that he had never been so passive before, not even that day in Haitang Palace, as he was today.
This woman was obviously well prepared, and her arguments were well-reasoned and impeccable.
But these are not true!
"Father, it is true that she is my counselor, and it is also true that I have served her for three years, but I did not do the incident in Haitang Palace, and I did not abduct her here. I..."
Before Prince Kang could finish his words, he was interrupted by Emperor Zhaoqing in a deep voice.
"Is it true that Taoist Qiu is refining the elixir of immortality for you? Is it true that he is my alchemist?"
King Kang was speechless for a moment.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that what his father cared about most and what he could not forgive the most was that he had secretly taken his person away.
Just because of this, he is finished with his father.
This is also the most ruthless part of Ning Miao's plan this time.
She was willing to risk her life to lure his father here, just to let his father see Taoist Qiu.
He just wanted his father to see that the person he had spent all his manpower and resources to find was secretly abducted by his son and hidden in this place for his own use.
What about the advisers and spies, what about the Haitang Palace incident, in the eyes of his father, maybe the truth is not that important, because it did not harm his personal interests.
And kidnapping Taoist Priest Qiu would be like provoking someone to do something unfavorable to him.
Just this one thing was enough to drag Ning Miao into the abyss.
Then, the woman also mentioned her identity as his adviser, so that he could show his real name and real face in the future.
He also helped Yan Mobai clear the suspicion of killing Anyang.
He also took the opportunity to frame him with his own secret escape passage, making his father think that he had dug the secret passage to the palace to do something bad.
This woman is so scary.
He had always known that she was clever and resourceful.
He just didn't expect that she would be so cruel.
In order to save him from eternal damnation, he was willing to sacrifice his own child.
Doesn’t she want the antidote for three years?
No, she is in cahoots with Yan Mobai now.
The three years were spent by Yan Mobai.
There must be another antidote.
Yes, there is an antidote, so the child can be sacrificed.
Sacrificing an unborn fetus in exchange for its eternal damnation and no chance of recovery, in exchange for being able to walk freely and honestly in this world for the rest of your life.
King Kang didn't know what to say. It seemed that nothing he said could change the current situation.
But he can't give up.
"Father, I asked Taoist Qiu to make the elixir of immortality because I wanted to present it to you."
"I know that what I did was inappropriate and I shouldn't have touched my father's people, but I am also eager to make a contribution. I think that if I can refine this medicine and present it to my father, I will be able to please him and win his favor."
"Otherwise, why would I be so eager to refine this medicine when I am still young? I want to present it to my father, so that he can live forever and prosper for thousands of years."
King Kang spoke earnestly.
Emperor Zhaoqing was totally unmoved and sneered.
"You've been eyeing the throne of the Eastern Palace all day, and you still hope that I'll live forever. Tell me, do you believe it?"
"Also, I won't let my people refine it myself? Do I need you to do this for me?"
King Kang's face froze, and he immediately said, "Every word I say is from the bottom of my heart, and my filial piety is evident to all the world!"
Emperor Zhaoqing frowned, looking impatient: "It's already this time, don't talk to me about these nonsense anymore."
After saying that, he turned his head and instructed Zhan Zhan.
"Take King Kang back and put him in prison to await his fate."
"All his men outside were also taken into custody."
"Take the women in the cell back to the palace first. I'll let the imperial physician take a look at them first."
"Ning..." Emperor Zhaoqing looked at Ning Miao and said, "Follow me back to the palace first. I will investigate the things you said and then make a decision."
Ning Miao knelt down and kowtowed: "I will follow the emperor's orders. Thank you for making the decision for me!"
Emperor Zhaoqing glanced at Taoist Qiu and said, "You can come too."
Taoist Priest Qiu bowed respectfully: "Yes!"
Zhan Zhan ordered the guards to carry out Emperor Zhaoqing's orders.
Ning Miao and Taoist Qiu stood up from the ground.
Yan Mobai gave Chi Feng a look, and Chi Feng understood and hurried forward to support Ning Miao.
Zhan Zhan drew the long sword from his waist and cut off the iron shackles on Ning Miao's feet with one sword.
Two guards came over to restrain King Kang, and King An then reached out to release the acupoints on King Kang's body.
"Father, I am innocent, Father..."
Emperor Zhaoqing ignored him.
King Kang had no choice but to give up.
He knew that as long as he was not wronged in the kidnapping of Taoist Qiu, his father would not pay any attention to him no matter how much he cried out in injustice for other matters.
Yan Mobai bowed respectfully to Emperor Zhaoqing.
"Your Majesty, can I have a few words with my eldest sister-in-law alone? She is the wife of His Royal Highness Prince Kang, and she has been pregnant for three years. She is even pregnant with my child. I am very shocked by all this. I have a few questions to ask her."
Emperor Zhaoqing looked at him.
"To avoid suspicion, you should stay away for the time being. After all, it involves your offspring and Anyang. If you have any questions, it won't be too late to ask again after this matter is settled. Don't worry, I will release him after I have investigated it thoroughly."
Yan Mobai could only reply: "Yes."
The group left the cave.
When Ning Miao was taken to the carriage by the guards, he glanced at Yan Mobai who was standing not far away.
The two looked at each other, Ning Miao quickly gave him a reassuring look, and got into the carriage.
After entering the palace, Ning Miao, several pregnant women, and Taoist Qiu were taken to the Fushi Hall.
This hall was where the emperor received foreign historians or common people who came to the palace to see him for business.
Emperor Zhaoqing ordered several groups of people to go out.
A group of people went to the Cold Palace and Changjiao Palace to check the secret passage.
A group of people went to find King Kang's other advisers according to the specific address given by Ning Miao.
A group of people went to Haitang Palace to find the former palace servants to investigate and understand the situation.
He also sent someone to the Imperial Medical Bureau to summon the imperial physician.
At the same time, Master Qiu was asked to talk about his experience during the year he was missing.
Taoist Priest Qiu then recounted the whole story of how his family was held hostage by King Kang and how King Kang forced him to submit.
Including the alchemy work done in the cave this year.
It was at this time that Ning Miao realized that what was needed for alchemy was the placenta, a placenta that had been soaked in special medicine for more than six months.
No wonder pregnant women need to be less than three months pregnant.
"Will this potion have any effect on the child?"
Ning Miao and several pregnant women are most concerned about this.
With the emperor in front of him, Taoist Qiu had no choice but to tell the truth.
"Yes, medicine is poisonous to some extent, let alone this special potion, which is even more toxic. In addition, if you soak it for a long time, generally... the fetus born will either be a deformed monster or stillborn."
Several women were shocked when they heard this.
Emperor Zhaoqing was furious: "Look at what you have done. In order to prolong your own life, do you disregard the lives of others?"
Taoist Priest Qiu knelt on the ground, trembling: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I have told His Royal Highness Prince Kang about these situations, but His Royal Highness Prince Kang insisted on doing this. He threatened me and my family's lives, so I had to obey."
