Chapter 696 The Wind Rises 12
Chai Rong died.

Not long after his death, Zhao Kuangyin launched the Chenqiao Rebellion and put on the yellow robe.

Liu Ke had anticipated this.

Zhao Kuangyin did not always remain inferior to others.

Before, it was because of Chai Rong's strong ability that Zhao Kuangyin was willing to surrender, but other people did not have Chai Rong's ability.

It was certain that Zhao Kuangyin would ascend to the throne.

Fortunately, after Zhao Kuangyin came to power, he did not do anything to the Chai family. He gave them titles and only allowed them to "live in honor."

Zhao Kuangyin was especially good to Chai Xirang. After all, a son-in-law could not compete for the throne.

In order to show his kindness to the Chai family, Zhao Kuangyin gave Chai Xi the title of king, but he still held the title of King of Cao.

Zhao Kuangyin also wanted to make Liu Ke a king, but was rejected by Liu Ke.

In the end, Zhao Kuangyin conferred the title of Duke on Liu Ke.

Fei Yurui has now become the queen, with the most noble status.

She had her younger brother, who had taken care of her, brought to the capital, and Zhao Kuangyin gave him a title.

As for the other members of the Fei family, neither Zhao Kuangyin nor Fei Yuzhu cared about them.

You wanted to sell Fei Yuzhu to gain benefits in the first place, and now you want to take advantage of it?
They are so beautiful!

The Fei family regretted it deeply.

Liu Shu started traveling alone several years ago.

He went to the Southern Tang Palace and took Chunxue out.

Yinshuang died, she was angry to death.

Li Yu had an affair with her nominal sister Zhou Ying'er when Yinshuang was ill.

Zhou Ying'er entered the palace under the pretext of taking care of her sick sister, but actually went there to seduce her own brother-in-law.

Li Yu took the bait so easily and treated Zhou Ying'er even better than he treated Zhou Ehuang.

Yinshuang couldn't breathe, her condition worsened, and she eventually died.

Before she could kill Haruyuki, who knew the truth, she died first.

After her death, Li Yu immediately appointed Zhou Ying'er as the new queen.

Haruyuki, the old man around the former queen, was marginalized.

Therefore, Yanagi took Haruyuki out of the palace very easily.

Liu Shu hired an escort to send Chunxue to Kaifeng, so that he could return to Zhou Ehuang.

Chunxue didn't want to get married, so she combed her hair and became Zhou Ehuang's housekeeper.

Liu Shu had been wandering outside for two years and was called back by Liu Ke.

It turned out that the ship model he had made before was studied by craftsmen and then made into a real ship.

Liu Shu was overjoyed, he wanted to go out to sea!
Liu Yuyan and Chai Xirang said they wanted to go out to sea together.

Although Chai Xirang was the King of Cao and looked noble, the Zhao family was actually very wary of the Chai family.

Rather than staying in the capital and being secretly watched, it is better to go out to sea and be free.

Liu Ke and Zhou Ehuang were also very excited, but the children were very young and needed their parents' care, so they had to stay this time.

After choosing an auspicious time, the ship took Liu Shu and others out to sea.

Liu Shu took out the nautical chart used by Zheng He during his voyage to the West and sailed along the route that Zheng He had taken.

They were gone for another two years. After two years, the three returned with a full load, bringing back many overseas specialties.

Gems, wood, as well as grains and fruits.

Liu Ke presented all the grain and fruit seeds to Zhao Kuangyin. Zhao Kuangyin was overjoyed and conferred a title on Liu Shu. He also wanted to arrange a marriage for Liu Shu, but Liu Shu politely declined.

Zhao Kuangyin held a celebration banquet, and many court officials attended with their families.

In order to demonstrate his kindness towards those who surrendered, Zhao Kuangyin allowed Li Yu to bring Concubine Xiao Zhou to attend the palace banquet.

Xiao Zhouhou was very beautiful, comparable to Fei Yurui.

This makes her coveted by other men.

Not Zhao Kuangyin.

Zhao Kuangyin had a talented woman like Fei Yurui, so he looked down on other women. It was Zhao Guangyi who looked at Xiao Zhouhou and Li Yu, and he had the idea of ​​killing Li Yu and monopolizing the beauty.

Liu Shu saw this scene.

Although Liu Shu didn't like Li Yu and Zhou Ying'er very much because of his sister-in-law, he disliked Zhao Guangyi even more.

This guy is not a good one.

He has no ability, but his ambition is ridiculous, and he always uses shady means.

Secret means?

Liu Shu suddenly remembered that although history books said that Zhao Kuangyin died of illness, many people doubted this.

After collecting various evidences, some people suspected that Zhao Kuangyin was killed by Zhao Guangyi.

Could it be that this guy really did it?
Liu Shu walked up to Chai Xirang and whispered, "Take a close look at His Majesty's face to see if there's anything wrong with him."

Chai Xirang: “???”

Liu Shu: "See if he's poisoned."

Chai Xirang: “Huh?”

Chai Xirang studied medicine with Liu Yuyan and Zhou Ehuang, but what he learned best was poison.

This guy has been raising poisonous spiders since he was a child and is very talented in poison.

Just by observing a person's complexion and eyes, Chai Xirang could tell whether that person was poisoned.

Because of the relationship between the Chai and Zhao families, Chai Xirang never saw Zhao Kuangyin again after he returned, except for the first day he attended court.

Also, because Zhao Kuangyin was sitting on the dragon throne, Chai Xirang was standing among the ministers below. The distance was quite far, so he could not see Zhao Kuangyin's face clearly.

At this palace banquet, the Liu family's seats were closest to the emperor. As a member of the Liu family, Chai Xirang also sat at this seat so that he could see Zhao Kuangyin's face.

He raised his head and looked carefully at Zhao Kuangyin's expression.

Not finding anything unusual, he looked at Zhao Kuangyin's eyes again, and he noticed something a little wrong.

Chai Xirang whispered to Liu Shu: "The emperor might have been poisoned."

Liu Shu: "Let's talk about it when we get back."

After the palace banquet, the family returned to the Liu family.

Liu Shu and Chai Xirang followed Liu Ke to the study and told Liu Ke what they found.

Liu Ke was shocked.

Zhao Kuangyin was poisoned?
How could an emperor be poisoned?

Even the imperial physician can’t find out?
How can it be?

The most likely possibility is that the imperial physician and the people around Zhao Kuangyin were bribed.

Liu Ke's expression was serious. He said to the two of them, "Keep this a secret for now. I will go to the palace tomorrow and invite His Majesty to come home. Xi Rang will then check His Majesty's pulse to confirm."

"Yes." The two agreed.

The next day, Liu Ke successfully invited Zhao Kuangyin to the Liu family.

Zhao Kuangyin was very good to his brothers who did not threaten his position.

Liu Ke has never had any ambitions and has always supported Zhao Kuangyin. Zhao Kuangyin naturally treats Liu Ke best and is willing to be Liu Ke's brother rather than getting along with Liu Ke as a monarch and his subject.

Normally, Zhao Kuangyin would come to Liu Mansion to find Liu Ke, and no one else would become suspicious.

Liu Ke took Zhao Kuangyin to the study, and there were only three people from the Liu family and Zhao Kuangyin in the room.

Liu Ke said, "Second brother, let Xirang take your pulse."

Zhao Kuangyin realized something and his eyes widened, but he quickly restrained his sharpness and stretched out his left hand to Chai Xirang.

"bring it on."

Chai Xirang stretched out his right hand and placed his fingers on Zhao Kuangyin's pulse.

After a long while, Chai Xirang withdrew his fingers, looking unhappy.

The three of them understood the result.

Zhao Kuangyin said in a deep voice: "Speak boldly, I can bear it."

Chai Xirang took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty has been poisoned by 'San Yue Ning'."
