Chapter 138 Poisoning
Chapter 138 Poisoning
Jiang Yunxi suddenly stood up, raised his glass with a smile, and turned to Queen Meng Jingshu, "Yunxi wishes the Queen..."
She stopped talking suddenly, which seemed a bit abrupt.
Everyone in the hall looked towards Jiang Yunxi.
A trickle of blood slowly flowed from the corner of Jiang Yunxi's mouth.
Jiang Yunxi spat out a bloody mist with a "puff" sound.
Jiang Yunxi fell straight down.
Zhen Zhen and Nan Nan rushed to catch Jiang Yunxi, "Princess, Princess, what's wrong with you? Someone, call the imperial physician!"
Meng Jingshu and Crown Prince Zhao Zheqi, who were sitting in the seats of honor, frowned at the same time and put down the cups in their hands at the same time.
Eunuch Liu glanced at Zhao Changta and immediately shouted, "Call the imperial physician..."
Eunuch Liu's voice continued to echo in the silent hall.
Suddenly, not only Jiang Yunxi, but also the ministers sitting below began to spit blood.
In the hall, cries of pain "Ouch, ouch" could be heard one after another.
Black blood slowly flowed from the corners of the mouths of Queen Meng Jingshu and Crown Prince Zhao Zheqi. Meng Jingshu subconsciously looked in the direction of Zhao Changta.
Zhao Changta was also looking at her at this time.
His eyes were so cold that it made Meng Jingshu break out in a cold sweat.
Meng Jingshu's fingers were tightly gripping the edge of the table, her tone somewhat weak and flustered, "Come... someone... call the imperial physician!"
Meng Jingshu didn't make it in the end. Her upper body was lying on the table, her eyes fixed in the direction of Zhao Changta.
The light in her eyes gradually dimmed... until it disappeared.
A sneer appeared on Zhao Changta's face.
But his sneer was suddenly interrupted.
Suddenly, large mouthfuls of blood gushed out of Zhao Changta's mouth.
Zhao Changta immediately realized something was wrong and looked in the direction of Jiang Yunxi.
Jiang Yunxi had fallen to the ground, lying in Nan Nan's arms.
His hands were gesticulating aimlessly and he accidentally grabbed Eunuch Liu's arm.
Eunuch Liu hurriedly asked with concern, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
He immediately turned around and shouted, "Imperial Doctor Xuan! What are you guys still doing standing there? Imperial Doctor Xuan!"
Zhao Changta wanted to speak, but as soon as he opened his mouth, a large amount of blood gushed out again.
Zhao Changta lay in front of the table, holding Liu Nei Shi's arm tightly, his eyes full of unwillingness.
At this time, Zhao Zheyong, the only person in the hall who was not poisoned, was surprised and looked around at the people who had fallen down in the hall.
When Zhao Zheyong saw Zhao Changta lying down, he immediately ran to Zhao Changta to express his loyalty, "Father, what's wrong with you?"
Zhao Changta looked at the son who had plotted against the virtuous concubine Wei Yanyan, and saw how lively and energetic he was now. His not-so-clear mind immediately made a judgment.
"Rebellious son!" Zhao Changta slapped Zhao Zheyong in the face with his backhand.
Perhaps it was a last burst of energy, Zhao Changta's hands gained a lot of strength, and Zhao Zheyong was immediately knocked to the side.
Liu, who was used to reading Zhao Changta's expression, raised his head and shouted, "Someone, someone! The Third Prince is trying to assassinate His Majesty!"
Zhao Zheyong immediately raised his head and looked at Liu Nei Shi with doubtful eyes, "What assassination? Father..."
Zhao Zheyong immediately reached for Zhao Changta's hand.
Zhao Changta fiercely brushed his hand away and stood up with difficulty.
However, after standing still for three seconds, Zhao Changta immediately fell straight down.
Combined with what Liu the eunuch had just said, everyone immediately knew that Zhao Zheyong's assassination of the emperor was true.
They couldn't help but think: "Could it be that the Third Prince also put the poison in the wine? No wonder he was the only one who was not poisoned! He actually wanted to get rid of the Emperor and all the ministers who didn't support him in one fell swoop. It shows that this person is deep-minded and has a vicious heart."
