The moon falling to the ground

Chapter 261 You are pretending

General Rong was also confused, but then he realized: "The emperor is not sick?"

Emperor Jingzhen looked at General Rong, not disguising his disgust: "If I really get the disease, wouldn't it be an easy opportunity for you traitors and villains?"

The prince also laughed and said, "We are not pretending to be sick, so why are you so impatient to show your fox tail?"

"So you were pretending too!" The second prince was shocked and angry, staring at the prince resentfully.

It would be great if he had been poisoned to death earlier. If he had died earlier, he would not have been forced to do such a rebellious thing, nor would he have fallen into such a desperate situation.

Rong Taiwei was only panicked for a moment, then laughed and said, "Even if the emperor doesn't have the disease, what can he do? The imperial guards outside the palace, the secret guards inside the palace, and the palace servants have all contracted the disease. The emperor has no one to use now!"

Emperor Jingzhen sneered: "I have no one to use, do you have anyone to use?"

Hearing this, General Rong smiled smugly: "I brought a small number of people, only 30,000. The emperor should be aware of the current situation. Rather than making a mess, it would be better for the emperor to give up the throne to the second prince and become the emperor to enjoy a peaceful life. Wouldn't that make everyone happy?"

Emperor Jingzhen was so angry that he laughed: "I never knew that the Rong family's ambition was so great that it could swallow the sky. Come, take down all these traitors."

General Rong laughed loudly: "Your Majesty may not know that we came here without any obstacles."

Emperor Jingzhen looked puzzled: "Is that so?" As he finished speaking, more than a dozen palace masters appeared from nowhere.

The Second Prince and General Rong were startled and were about to order their men to fight quickly and decisively when they suddenly heard a "thump thump" sound behind them.

The two men turned around suddenly, only to see that the soldiers they brought in had all fallen to the ground for some unknown reason.

The Second Prince and General Rong were shocked. Before they could react to what was happening, they just felt dizzy and their whole bodies were sore and weak.

Emperor Jingzhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his tense nerves finally relaxed.

Although Jian Yue and Doctor Mao repeatedly assured him that everything was safe, he still felt uneasy. After all, the other party still had two ghost poison doctors in their hands!

Eunuch Fu led the palace guards to clear out all the rebels. Because Ghost Gate Poison Doctor and Yan Xinning were missing, Doctor Mao did not dare to leave Emperor Jingzhen's side. Jian Yue followed the guard leader to help.

Outside the palace, people were lying on the ground in a black mass. Even the commander of the North City Camp, Kaohsiung, fell to the ground, his eyes filled with despair and regret.

All the soldiers he brought with him were poisoned by something similar to the muscle softener, and now they were lying on the ground, unable to get up, and at the mercy of others. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure out why this happened.

What part went wrong?

Ji Yunzhong came over with a sword in hand, smiling, and said in an exaggerated tone that deserved a beating: "Oh! I thought I had a chance to show off my skills, but in the end, without a single soldier, all the rebels fell. They are such useless people, and they still want to rebel? I wonder who gave them the courage?"

Ji Yunzhong's carefree and boastful look made Kaohsiung roll his eyes in anger. He couldn't help but yell: "How did you do it? Even if I die, I should die knowingly, right?"

Ji Yunzhong's face suddenly darkened, and he said gloomily: "You are a traitor and deserve to die. You are not qualified to know."

Kaohsiung's heart stagnated, as if all the strength in his body was drained away at once, and he hung his head with a pale face.

This plan started when Jian Yue and Ji Yunzhong went to the prison to see Ye Wudi.

Ji Yunzhong and Jian Yue secretly interrogated Ye Wudi in the prison. Jian Yue gave Ye Wudi two poisons, "Like Dream and Illusion" and "Mantra Pill", and used both methods to make Ye Wudi confess all the plans of the Second Prince and General Rong. Not only that, Jian Yue also asked about the Ghost Gate, and Ye Wudi confessed everything honestly.

After coming out of the prison, the two of them went home on the surface. But they secretly came out from the back door, quickly entered the palace, and handed Ye Wudi's confession to Emperor Jingzhen.

Emperor Jingzhen read the confession and found that the Second Prince and General Rong had planned to have Ye Wudi and his brother poison the people in the government offices, so as to paralyze the government offices and make them unable to operate normally. Because officials had to attend court every day, if one of them was infected, the others would be unable to escape. When all the court officials were poisoned, the Second Prince and General Rong would lead troops to force the emperor to abdicate.

After reading Ye Wudi's confession, Emperor Jingzhen was so angry that his whole body was shaking.

When the prince was poisoned, there was no hope of detoxification. He really considered the second son. At that time, the second son also behaved very filially. Unexpectedly, under his filial appearance, he hid a wolfish ambition. In order to achieve his goal, he even did not hesitate to create an epidemic.

Emperor Jingzhen didn't even dare to imagine what kind of country he would become if such a person inherited the throne.

The more Emperor Jingzhen thought about it, the angrier he became, and finally he said: "Okay, since he wants to do this, I will do as they wish." Then, Emperor Jingzhen asked Jian Yue if there was a medicine that could create the illusion that the entire population was suffering from an epidemic, but would not harm the people in the city.

Of course Jian Yue had it, but she couldn't act like such medicine was too easy to get. So she said, "Your Majesty, I have to go back and discuss this with Master. We have to strike a balance and not harm the people. Such medicine is not easy to prepare. However, after I go back, I will prepare the medicine as soon as possible, even if I don't eat or drink."

The actual situation is that Jian Yue originally wanted to use this method to expose the true colors of the Second Prince and his party. If the Second Prince and General Rong are not brought down, the grievances of my grandfather's family cannot be resolved. Besides, having powerful enemies like the Second Prince and General Rong is like having a knife hanging over your head at all times, and they might stab you one day. If you want to rest easy, the best way is to solve this major hidden danger.

Now the emperor wanted to fight back, which was exactly what Jian Yue wanted. Of course, she had to actively cooperate.

Emperor Jingzhen summoned the crown prince again and put him in charge of the planning.

After listening to his father's instructions, the prince was both happy and excited. He was happy that his father had finally made up his mind to punish the second son. He was excited that his father had given him such a big task, which was a test of his ability. If he did a good job in this matter, his father would completely recognize him as the prince.

After the three of them left the palace, they went to the East Palace to repeatedly discuss and deploy the plan. The three of them divided the work, and Ji Yunzhong went to the North City Camp to make trouble, trying to put Jian Yue's exclusive muscle softening powder in the meals of the North City Camp before the Second Prince and Rong Taiwei took action.

Jian Yue's tendon softening powder is different from other tendon softening powders on the market. It will not take effect immediately after consumption, but will take effect with the amount of exercise. The greater the amount of exercise, the faster the effect. For example, if you just walk, the medicinal properties will not take effect.

Jian Yue went back to make medicine.

The prince is in control of the overall situation, especially the palace.

And the most important point is...
