Chapter 884: It's impossible for a fox to fake a tiger
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
Behind the bead curtain, there was a coughing sound, which was quite worrying to hear.
Uncle Cai Guo glared at the bamboo curtain dissatisfiedly, this stinky boy coughed at a really bad time, he was still patient and waited for the coughing to finally stop, and continued: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu ......"
"The mother died suddenly, and our hearts as children are full of grief, and we want to hold a decent funeral for our mother and bury it well, do you say?" The prince's weak voice sounded, and he once again rudely interrupted Uncle Cai's words, "King Chu? ”
Puyang Xuan said, "Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Uncle Cai Guo glared at the bead curtain even more dissatisfied, the prince once regained power, his wings were stiff, dare not listen to him?
According to the original plan, it was to frame the king of Chu with the accusation of weaving and related to the "assassination" last night, and put him to death to never be troubled.
However, the crown prince not only left the life of the dog emperor, but also does not convict the king of Chu now?
The crown prince said that if the dog emperor died, it would inevitably cause too much shock, maybe the king of Chu would rebel directly, and the courtiers would have a lot of suspicions, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, first stabilize the situation and people's hearts, the dog emperor must still be alive.
Anyway, he was in a coma because of poisoning, and his life was short, so he was not in a hurry at this time, and the biggest use of the dog emperor was important.
Uncle Cai believes this reason for the time being, but why let Pu Yangxuan go?
Pu Yangxuan is a disaster, maybe one day he will snatch away everything they have endured humiliation and worked so hard to gain!
The prince sat behind the bead curtain, as if he didn't notice his uncle's eyes at all, "The king of Chu is the eldest son, so the mother's funeral will be handled by you, and the yamen will be at the disposal of the king of Chu." ”
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince." Pu Yangxuan received the order and did not say much.
The courtiers had different faces, some were angry, some were unfair, and some were confused, and after giving each other a look, they looked at the calm King of Chu and didn't say anything.
The crown prince coughed twice, "Before my father recovered, the government relied on your ministers. If there is anything wrong with me, please correct me, and I will thank you first. ”
The courtiers looked at each other and answered.
The prince said: "The assassination of my father has been handed over to the Janissary, Dali Temple, and Jingzhao Mansion for joint investigation, and there is a royal doctor around to take care of it, so there is no worry about his life for the time being." I'm also sick and frail at the moment, so if there's nothing important, let your servants go back first. ”
After the courtiers cared about the body of the emperor and the prince, they withdrew from the main hall, and Uncle Cai Guo snorted coldly at them a few times, and quickly followed the prince's shoulder and came to the East Palace.
"Why didn't you cure Pu Yangxuan's sin?!" As soon as he arrived in the study, Uncle Cai Guo asked with a scolding face.
The prince covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed, his face was still pale, and his eyes did not have the burning look of the past.
"Ask you, don't pretend to cough!" Uncle Cai Guo was very impatient when he thought of last night's thrilling, and he picked up the book on the desk and was about to smash it at the prince.
"Uncle Guo, you are calm!" The chamberlain hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Uncle Cai.
"Hmph." Uncle Cai Guo smashed the book back on the table, shaking the brush and falling to the ground.
The crown prince's shoulders shrunk, "Uncle, Pu Yangxuan now has an unusual status in the eyes of the courtiers......
"You know that too, don't you?" Uncle Cai Guo snatched the conversation, "Shouldn't it be better to kill him earlier?" ”
The prince said: "However, asking Pu Yangxuan at first glance will definitely arouse the doubts of the courtiers, which is not good for us!" It's like we need my father alive now......"
Halfway through his words, he had to stop and catch a few breaths, as if he was going to faint at any moment because of the difficulty of breathing.
"Hehe, is that really the case?" Uncle Cai Guo was skeptical.
The prince said: "So, first send him to take care of his mother's funeral, and then he, as the eldest son, has to keep filial piety on behalf of all his children, right?" If you dare to leave without permission, it will be disloyal and unfilial, and the courtiers will not scold him to death? ”
Uncle Cai frowned, "What you said also makes sense...... However, what if Puyang Xuan is unwilling to guard the mausoleum? He would not fail to understand what consequences Shouling would have on him, and he would definitely refuse. ”
"Whoever calls his mother his mother-in-law, even if he doesn't want to, he has to go." The prince spoke confidently, "Otherwise, the good reputation he has been working so hard to maintain will also be ruined." ”
Uncle Cai Guo looked at the prince suspiciously.
The prince grabbed the armrest of the chair and forced himself to look at Uncle Cai Guo, "Uncle, our usual methods have not succeeded, so now we must come up with some new tricks, do you understand?" ”
Uncle Cai Guo pouted, "Okay, let's take a look first, if Pu Yangxuan is a little wrong, I will be the first to rush over and kill him!" ”
"Okay." The prince nodded.
Uncle Cai Guo saw that the prince's face was getting worse and worse, thinking that he had been tossing for so long and tired, as his own uncle, he was distressed, and he didn't want him to die at a young age, then their Cai family would have no future.
"The prince has a good rest, I'll go back first."
"Uncle walks slowly."
The prince looked straight at Uncle Cai Guo and went out, until he couldn't see his figure, he gasped a few times, then grabbed the clothes of the attendant next to him, and asked in a panic: "What about the medicine, where is the medicine I want to take?!" Give it to me, give it to me! ”
He tugged at the chamberlain's clothes and looked at him wistfully, even looking a little humble in his pleading attitude.
The chamberlain took out a small medicine bottle from his bosom and shook it in front of the prince.
The prince was overjoyed, and he reached out to take it.
The chamberlain raised his hand swiftly, causing the prince to pounce.
The prince pleaded, "Please, I have done as you say, give me the medicine......
The chamberlain said quietly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, you must always remember the words of the emperor." ”
The prince nodded violently, "I remember everything, I remember everything!" ”
He looked up at the vial, reaching out urgently, his tongue licking his chapped lips, his throat chattering with the act of swallowing.
The chamberlain took out a pill from the small medicine bottle and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really obedient, this is the emperor's reward for you." ”
He placed the pill in the palm of the prince's hand.
If the prince got the treasure, he couldn't wait to stuff the pill into his mouth, and without even chewing it, he swallowed it directly.
After the pill was lowered, the prince's face improved slightly, and the slight trembling of his body stopped, and he slumped into his chair, closed his eyes, and showed a strange smile on his face.
The chamberlain stroked the prince's hair and whispered in his ear: "As long as His Royal Highness the prince is obedient, you can eat the pill, so that you can be comfortable, and you will never feel pain, you know?" ”
"Yes, I know ......," the prince agreed obediently, as if he had seen something beautiful, and smiled stupidly.
