King Chen felt a little horrified, and hurriedly put the small bottle back to its place, and asked Lu Baichuan: "What are these?"

Lu Baichuan replied: "These are some poisons prepared by my wife. I think Your Highness can use it."

King Chen raised his eyebrows and asked: "Are you talking about poisoning Daoping?"

Lu Baichuan shook his head: "It was to Your Majesty. "

King Chen's face instantly darkened, and Lu Baichuan knelt directly on the ground.

“Do you know what you are talking about?”

King Chen’s tone was heavy, with a hint of getting angry.

Lu Baichuan said: "I dare you, Your Highness, to give it a try! There is a kind of poison that only makes the body ill but does not harm life. You can use this feature to make the emperor think it belongs to Daoping Zhenren. There is something wrong with the elixir, so we no longer trust Daoping. This can also give us an opportunity."

King Chen's face softened slightly after listening to his explanation. He thought Lu Baichuan's It means directly poisoning the emperor to death, which would be extremely unfilial.

Although the emperor didn't like him, he was his father after all, and he couldn't have such unfilial thoughts no matter what.

"Is it really not harmful to the body?"

"My wife has very good medical skills. The things she prepares can be used with confidence. I can guarantee it with my life."

Before coming, he discussed this matter with He Jiu Niang, just to ask He Jiu Niang if he had such a poison, so that King Chen would not be under too much psychological pressure when using it.

He Jiuniang’s answer at that time was: “No, I can give it to you for the time being.”

Then she gave it to him the next morning, and explained the usage and dosage. .

King Chen stretched out his hand to stop him: "No, I believe in you. It's just that this matter is somewhat risky, so let's wait until I go to persuade my father first before talking about it."

Lu Baichuan naturally nodded in agreement. No matter what, he had to give King Chen time to think about it.

King Chen trusted He Jiuniang’s medical skills in his heart, otherwise Lin Yiping would not be so afraid, and Mrs. Lu was good at cooking, designing clothes, and knew how to do business as well as medicine. No, it is really for capable people.

Lu Baichuan was his, and his wife naturally wanted to be with him. He had such an advantage, and it would be a pity not to take advantage of it.

However, drugging the emperor was too dangerous. He could not afford to be accused of treason if he was not careful.

Lu Baichuan left temporarily, and King Chen asked Cheng Meng to take Lu Baichuan to get to know his brothers.It is also convenient when you need to use it later.

King Chen took advantage of this moment and hurried into the palace to meet the Holy Emperor.

The old emperor is addicted to Taoism. Recently, he has been practicing seclusion. He does not go to court and does not see people. He has a whole set of steps for cultivating immortals. It is useless for all the officials in the court to force each other to death. King Chen is the most important one. I am somewhat unsure of myself.

But if he didn’t try it himself, how could he be so cruel as to poison his father?

Standing at the entrance of the Emperor's Palace, King Chen took a deep breath, already prepared to be scolded.

"Go and tell your father that I have found out important matters related to Daoping Zhenren and ask to see your father!"

The eunuch at the door responded respectfully and went in. Report, as to whether to see him or not, it depends on the emperor's mood.

The eunuch first said that King Chen wanted to see him, but the old emperor refused without saying anything. Then he said that he had found out about Daoping Zhenren, and the old emperor subconsciously felt that King Chen was here to cause trouble. , let alone see him.

"No. Let him go out of the palace as soon as he is fine. He should care about the people's livelihood and don't stare at me all the time. It's annoying."

The old emperor waved his hand impatiently. The eunuch responded and turned around and walked out. Just as he hurried to the door, the old emperor said again: "Forget it, let him come in."

Since it was about Daoping Zhenren, the old emperor was worried about himself If he really doesn't care, King Chen will take matters into his own hands to solve the problem. Daoping Zhenren has two brushes, and he must protect them.

The eunuch agreed respectfully and went to ask King Chen to come in.

The palace outside was brightly lit, but the old emperor only lit one candlestick in this place. The space was so large that the light from the candlestick seemed insignificant. It was dark everywhere, giving people a sense of A spooky feeling.

"My son, I am here to see my father."

King Chen knelt down to salute, but the old emperor did not let him get up. The meaning was very clear, he knelt down to say something.

"Old San, you should know that I don't care what I care about. On weekdays, whatever you do, as long as it is beneficial to the people, I can ignore it, but don't think that I really care about it. I hand over all the power to you."

The emperor's voice sounded in the empty palace, which seemed a bit empty, and his tone was calm, but it was vaguely threatening and intimidating.

King Chen lowered his head and said: "What my father said is that I don't dare to make my own decisions."

"You don't dare?"

The old emperor's tone became more serious: "You have already started to investigate Daoping, what else are you afraid of? I want to live longer, in your eyes, is it so ridiculous?"

　The old emperor's anger had reached its peak, and his eyes were quenched with poison as he stared at King Chen, as if the person kneeling in front of him was not his son, but his lifelong enemy.

"Father, I have never thought of it this way! It was not that I took the initiative to investigate Daoping, but when I was investigating other cases, I found Daoping. Now I have mastered it. We have enough evidence, and there are no witnesses or evidence!”

King Chen knew that the old emperor was angry, but he still chose to go on.

He brought all the evidence handed over by Lu Baichuan, hoping that in the face of the evidence, the old emperor could rein in his horse.

"What case? What evidence? Third brother, third brother, you are really getting better and better!"

The old emperor was so angry that his beard was trembling, feeling that this It's just nonsense.

"Master Daoping is just a Taoist priest. In this life, he is just pursuing immortality like me. How can he be involved in any case?"

The old emperor made it clear that he wanted to protect With Daoping, he has a tough attitude. If it were anyone else, he wouldn't dare to say any more.

King Chen was also a little hesitant, but he thought that it would be useless to just go back after he came here, so he still said with a pinched neck: "A case of missing children occurred in Jingzhou. They were three or five-year-old children, and their son was found in a Taoist temple outside the city.

The Taoist priest in the Taoist temple personally confessed that the purpose of capturing those children was to use their heart blood to refine elixirs, and Erchen's men intercepted the letter sent from Taoist Temple to the capital, which was obviously in contact with Daoping.

Not only children, but also some young girls from good families were killed. They were captured to collect blood. Wither and die, even if they are lucky enough to survive, they will be sent to various brothels to live out their lives. This is a huge blood chain, and it is the plot of the Dongting people to invade our country. Please be clear to me, father!"
< br />" He finished speaking in one breath, and took out a series of evidence from his arms and handed it over. The emperor did not accept it, but slapped his hand on the table.

"Absurd! Third child, do you know what you are talking about? How could this happen to our country, Beiyan, where the people are at peace? In order to deal with Daoping, you went too far in this drama. !"

The old emperor pointed at King Chen, his eyes blood red.

King Chen looked at him neither humble nor arrogant, gritted his teeth and asked: "Does my father really not believe it, or is he trying to cover it up? My father takes the elixir every day. Didn't he find that in the elixir, Is there a strong smell of blood?"
