After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 952 Poisoning
Since the big guys at the top have already made the decision, the little guys below don't have to worry about it and can just accept the reality.

Haitang looked at her brother Haijiao sighing and couldn't help laughing. "Brother, what are you still worried about? Anyway, the incident has passed. The new emperor has firmly established himself on the throne. You have also made contributions and successfully deceived those who came to test you. You don't need to worry about being silenced. From now on, you will have a smooth road ahead. Unless one day you do something stupid or have bad luck and commit an unforgivable crime, your future will only get better and better. What else do you have to worry about? Just now you said that you should pretend that you didn't hear or see anything. So why are you still thinking about it?"

Haijiao smiled bitterly, "I have been feeling very uncomfortable in the palace these days. I dare not show any abnormality. Even when I return home, I am afraid that my family will notice it. Now I can finally relax a little and speak freely in front of you, little sister. Don't you want me to sigh a little more? Thinking about my experience in those few days, I have lived two lifetimes without seeing those days as exciting. What's wrong with me thinking about it for a while?!"

Haitang smiled and said, "Okay, okay, just let your imagination run wild. But I still have a lot of questions for you. Answer my questions first, and then continue to let your imagination run wild. After you've asked, I can leave and won't bother you anymore."

Haijiao sneered: "What else do you want to ask? Of course it's Xiao Jin."

Haitang blushed slightly, knowing that her brother would definitely answer her. And from what her brother had just said, Jin Jiashu was safe and sound in the assassination. She didn't need to worry, so she forced herself to cover up and said, "No! I want to ask... who was hurt by the assassin that day? Is Lord Tao okay? Although I heard from my cousin that he is fine, I don't know the details and I am always a little worried." Lord Tao's safety is related to the future of their entire family and cannot be taken lightly!

Hai Jiao said, "Lord Tao is fine. He spoke harshly at the time, and two assassins couldn't stand it. One kicked him, and the other hit him with the back of a knife. But Yingchuan Hou stepped forward to stop him, and he was not hit in the vitals, so he only suffered some flesh wounds. He will be fine after taking medicine and rest. When I was in the palace, I could see him every day. I also remember that he was exhausted to death in his previous life. I was a little worried that he was not feeling well, but he kept it a secret and insisted on handling government affairs. I also asked about him privately. He assured me that he was fine, and he did not refuse the imperial physician sent by the new emperor and Queen Mother Xu. He is indeed fine."

As for the other injured people, most of them were not seriously injured, but those with serious injuries basically did not survive. After all, at that time, the guards outside came to rescue the emperor after receiving the news from the sea reef. It had been a long time, and those with deep wounds almost bled to death, and there was no time to treat them. Therefore, the injured who can survive to this day are basically lightly injured. Except for some people who were injured in the waist, abdomen, legs and feet and had difficulty in moving, and had to stay in the local area to recuperate, the others followed the new emperor back to Beijing.

There are not enough resources near the imperial mausoleum, and medicine is limited. In fact, those who can hold on should return to Beijing for treatment. It will take many days to wait for the news from Beijing and send doctors with medicine to the local area to save people.

For example, the seventh prince was not seriously injured at the time. He just had a few shallow cuts on his neck, and the blood flowed more. However, he was weak, and this little blood loss had already seriously damaged his vitality. He was also quite frightened, and he had a high fever the next day. The Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Xu hesitated for a long time about whether he should return to the capital for treatment or stay in the palace near the imperial mausoleum to recuperate. Finally, the Empress Dowager made the decision to let him return to the capital with the emperor. He lay in the carriage all the way, and Empress Dowager Xu personally took people to take care of him. After returning to the capital, he was treated by the imperial physician, and he really recovered quickly, but he was still a little weak. Therefore, the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Xu were unwilling to let him leave the palace and move into their new palace.

Haijiao smiled and said, "The Seventh Prince also told me that when he moved into the palace and could make his own decisions, he would send me a generous gift to thank me for saving his life. In fact, it was really a coincidence at that time. He was weaker than others, ran slower, and had a noble status, so he was captured by the assassins and taken hostage. Yingchuan Marquis and General Tu both prioritized protecting the new monarch and did not have time to save him. After I reported the news and returned, I kept looking for a hole outside the tent to sneak in. That hole happened to be behind him. At that time, the assassins' attention was attracted by Elder Tao. Only one person held a knife to the Seventh Prince's neck, and also turned his head to look at Elder Tao, without paying attention to the movement behind him. I acted quickly enough, kicked him away, and saved the Seventh Prince. If it was someone else standing there at the time, I would also save him, and I didn't go specifically for the Seventh Prince."

Haijiao told the Seventh Prince the truth, but the Seventh Prince was still very grateful to him. The newly promoted King Kang was a very clear-headed person. He would not feel resentful just because others gave priority to protecting his brother and missed him; nor would he be less grateful to his savior just because others did not come specifically for him.

Hai Jiao said: "I only heard other people's descriptions before, but now that I have really talked with the Seventh Prince face to face, I understand why the new emperor trusts and is so close to this brother, and never doubts his intentions. Because the Seventh Prince is really a wise man. He knows his identity and situation very well, and he knows what he should and should not do. It's a pity that if the Sun family hadn't harmed Queen Wu and the Third Prince, forcing him to hide in the Cining Palace and leaving him with such a congenitally deficient body, he would have been a very smart and sensible heir to the throne." There is no need to say more about these meaningless words. The Seventh Prince chose the path he wanted to take, and he himself didn't feel it was a pity, so why should others worry about him?

Haitang asked again: "Is anyone else injured? Is the Grand Empress Dowager okay? Is Empress Dowager Xu okay too?"

Haijiao glanced at Xiaomei and said, "I know who you really want to ask. Why don't you just ask me if Xiaojin is hurt?"

Haitang laughed dryly and reached out to poke her brother's side twice: "Brother, you already know it, why bother to say more? Tell me quickly, it's just a matter of one sentence!"

Haijiao told her: "Don't worry, Xiao Jin was not in the tent at all. He was recuperating in another tent!"

Haitang was stunned: "Why? Did something happen to him?"

"Because he was poisoned." Haijiao sighed, "The assassins wanted to attack the new emperor, and they didn't want to alert too many people at first. They also thought about hiding themselves well afterwards, and rewarding them after someone else sat on the throne! They also had people in front of the emperor, and the Empress Dowager, the Queen Mother and the new emperor didn't suspect anything, so they planned to use poison first, so as to eliminate the new emperor and his brothers without anyone noticing."

Jin Jiashu had been following the new emperor, often replacing the young eunuch in the task of tasting poison. When the new emperor had dinner that day, Jin Jiashu tasted two mouthfuls of soup first, and he felt something was not right. The new emperor immediately knew that something was wrong with the people around him. He asked his confidant to secretly send Jin Jiashu to another account to recuperate, and sent someone to invite the Empress Dowager, the Queen Mother, important cabinet ministers, and two key generals to tell them the truth. He also sent the young eunuch to invite Hai Jiao, intending to secretly investigate the people around him. He had heard Jin Jiashu talk a lot about Hai Jiao, and knew that the latter must be reliable and smart enough.

Unexpectedly, the new king's actions alarmed the assassins. They immediately thought they were exposed and their poisoning failed, so they simply broke off relations and took advantage of everyone gathered in the tent to capture them all in one fell swoop.

Haitang was terrified when she heard this: "How is Brother Jin now? Has the poison been cured?"
