As a time traveler, Liu Chan’s journey has actually been quite smooth, whether it was the decisive Battle of Guanzhong or the recently concluded Battle of Jinzhong.
Although there is danger, it is resolved safely in the end.
But at this moment, he felt helpless for the first time.
He was defeated by a small pox.
The dangers of smallpox,
There is no need to explain. In fact, from the moment Zhang Yuan was confirmed to have contracted smallpox, Liu Chan actually had this worry to some extent.
After all, contracting smallpox is tantamount to fighting death.
At this moment, he lost control.
Because in this world, Zhang Yuan is the most important person in his life, and no one can replace him.
Zhang Yuan is gone.
Zhang Yuan is gone.
"Ah!"
The crying emperor suddenly let out an astonishing roar, which shook the entire Jiaofang Palace as if it was about to collapse.
Immediately afterwards, he stood up suddenly, and then stared fiercely at everyone in the room. The first thing that caught his sight were several serving maids.
The emperor has never had such a fierce gaze, which was like a sharp knife, piercing the chests of several palace maids.
"Your Majesty, spare your life!"
"Your Majesty, spare your life!"
The maids were so frightened that they all trembled and knelt on the ground with a thud, kowtowing and begging for mercy. They were very scared.
They are the queen's personal maids and are responsible for taking care of the queen's daily life.
Now the queen died of smallpox.
They naturally knew that the emperor was angry at this time, and if he got angry and threatened their lives, it would be considered an apology.
Just——
Liu Chan ignored their begging for mercy and didn't say a word. Instead, he spotted two more imperial doctors who were also trembling.
To say that the queen was infected with smallpox, the serving maids and eunuchs were the ones who were most guilty and the ones who should be punished the most; but these two imperial doctors,
At this time, they
The fear in my heart is no less than that of several palace ladies.
"You..." Liu Chan suddenly raised his hand and pointed at everyone in the room,
Then he shouted loudly: "You...all die for me!"
"Come here!"
As soon as Liu Chan said these words, the imperial doctors and palace maids in the room were immediately panicked. They immediately kowtowed and begged: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, spare your life."
"Your Majesty, spare your life!"
"Your Majesty, spare your life!"
"..."
Liu Chan has been emperor for more than ten years, and this is the first time he has been so angry. In the past, Liu Chan has never felt sorry for palace maids and eunuchs unless it was a matter of principle.
As the prime minister of the dynasty, Zhuge Liang couldn't accept it and fell to the ground when he learned that the queen had died of illness. However, at this time, he was frightened by Liu Chan and the imperial doctors and palace ladies begging for mercy.
He watched Liu Chan grow up.
Before he came to the throne, Adou was a very obedient and courteous child, and after he came to the throne he was also very kind. Even though he later captured Guanzhong due to a surprise attack, as an emperor, this was such a great achievement.
However, he was not complacent or arrogant.
On the contrary, it was just like before the war started, whether it was for his father-in-law or for the ministers of the court, everything was still the same as before, as if he had not accomplished this miraculous feat.
For a long time, Zhuge Liang felt that it was a blessing for the Han Dynasty to have such a benevolent emperor, and it was his blessing.
But at this moment, although he understood Liu Chan's anger.
But——
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
Zhuge Liang hurriedly dissuaded him and said: "At this time of great epidemic, your Majesty must not mess up your position."
Although he was shocked by Liu Chan's anger, Zhuge Liang believed that Liu Chan would definitely treat his father-in-law a little less favorably.
It's just...Liu Chan disappointed him this time.
No matter how much he tried to persuade him, Liu Chan didn't seem to hear him. Several eunuchs had already rushed in from outside. As soon as they entered the room, Liu Chan roared: "Drag them all out and beat them to death with sticks, beat them to death, beat them all to death."
..."
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
Zhuge Liang was so frightened that he knelt on the ground on the spot. This was the second time he knelt down to Liu Chan. The last time was when Liu Chan ascended the throne.
"Didn't you hear it?"
Liu Chan didn't care about Zhuge Liang at all, and yelled at several eunuchs who rushed in: "Don't you understand what I said?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Chan quickly rushed to the side, grabbed a single stool, and smashed it to the ground with a bang, scaring several eunuchs into hurriedly responding: "No!"
Just——
The emperor was talking about everyone in the room. A group of eunuchs first captured the imperial doctor and maid, but then the remaining two eunuchs panicked.
There is another person in the room.
To catch or not to catch.
The two of them were already standing behind Prime Minister Zhuge Liang. They were really panicked. The emperor said that everyone in the house would be dragged out and beaten to death with sticks.
Everyone, including Prime Minister Zhuge Liang?
"Your Majesty, spare your life!"
"Your Majesty, spare your life!"
"..."
The imperial doctors and palace maids are crying for mercy. After all, the emperor wants you to die, do you still have a chance to survive?
All they can do now is beg for mercy.
Zhuge Liang tried to persuade him several times but to no avail, so he panicked at this time.
Of course, he was not worried that the emperor would kill him as well.
He was worried that the emperor would lose control and that the great situation of the Han Dynasty would be ruined. This was what he was worried about.
"Your Majesty!"
Zhuge Liang called out again, with a hint of regret in his tone.
However, Liu Chan did not stop because of this, but he also saw two eunuchs standing behind Zhuge Liang, which made him furious again: "Get out!"
Although he was very angry, he was not going to kill Zhuge Liang.
Hearing the emperor's roar, the two eunuchs were relieved.
They may not be able to bear it if the imperial doctor and palace maids are beaten to death, but if the emperor insists on killing them, they will obey his orders.
But, if you want them to beat the Prime Minister to death.
They really don’t dare to do this.
The palace maids and palace doctors were dragged out by the eunuchs. Although the palace doctors and palace maids were still crying and begging for mercy, Liu Chan ignored them and was still angry.
He cares about Zhang Yuan very much, and he can't bear to lose Zhang Yuan.
At this time, perhaps only Zhang Yuan can control him.
However, Zhang Yuan remained motionless at this moment.
Seeing that the imperial doctor and the palace maid were about to die, a person suddenly walked in outside the palace. She happened to stop the eunuchs, and then roared: "Let them go!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Hearing this voice, Liu Chan was immediately angry. He just raised his eyes and found that the person who came was none other than the late emperor's queen, Empress Dowager Mu.
The man was very filial, so when the eunuchs saw the Empress Dowager arriving, they naturally stopped where they were. They neither heard the Empress Dowager let them go nor dragged them out according to Liu Chan's order.
"Emperor!"
Empress Dowager Mu shouted loudly: "Are you going crazy?"
"Queen Mother!"
Liu Chan immediately retorted: "My son is not crazy, not crazy."
Then he glared at the imperial doctor and the palace maids fiercely, and angrily said: "If it weren't for the poor care of these humble maids, how could the queen be infected with smallpox?"
"And they..." Liu Chan pointed to the two imperial doctors: "These quack doctors, the queen is sick, and these quack doctors are helpless."
"What do I need them for?"
At this time, although Liu Chan was still angry, his mood had actually stabilized slightly when facing Empress Dowager Mu.
He has always respected the Empress Dowager Mu.
Although she is neither Liu Chan's biological mother nor anyone in Liu Chan's previous life, Liu Chan respects the Queen Mother very much.
Now that the Queen Mother came forward to stop him, he actually explained the reason why he killed these people.
Zhuge Liang on the side suddenly felt at ease.
"Emperor!"
"What do you think?" Empress Dowager Mu had already arrived. She glanced at Zhang Yuan on the bed and felt very uncomfortable, but she still advised Liu Chan and said, "Do you think that if you kill a few of them, the queen can be resurrected?"
Liu Chan said nothing.
"What do you think?"
"You killed them..." Empress Dowager Mu pointed at the imperial physician and the maids, and then asked Liu Chan: "Can the queen's soul be safe in heaven?"
"Is it safe?"
When Liu Chan heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Empress Zhang Yuan was a virtuous and virtuous person. When she was alive, whether she was a palace maid, a eunuch, or a court minister, she was always courteous and considerate.
Especially for the palace maids and eunuchs, she is very kind and kind to them as long as it is not a matter of principle.
If Zhang Yuan were still here, Liu Chan knew very well that she would never agree to him doing this.
Seeing Liu Chan stunned, Empress Dowager Mu knew that it had worked, and immediately turned to the two imperial doctors and said: "The epidemic has not subsided yet, please go and assist Dr. Zhou as soon as possible."
"No!"
"Thank you, Queen Mother, thank you, Your Majesty!"
The two people hurriedly thanked Empress Dowager Mu and Liu Chan, and then hurried outside, saving their lives.
They have more important work. At this time, the smallpox epidemic has not yet been controlled, and they need to vaccinate the people in the palace.
After the imperial doctor left, Empress Dowager Mu ordered the eunuchs and maids: "You all should step aside first. The Ai family has something to say to the emperor."
"No!"
The maids were all paralyzed because they were also rescued.
After the maids and eunuchs left, Empress Dowager Mu helped Zhuge Liang up again and said kindly: "Prime Minister, get up quickly, Prime Minister, get up quickly!"
"Thank you, Queen Mother!" Zhuge Liang stood up slowly.
As for Liu Chan, when Empress Dowager Mu turned around, he had already sat back on the bed and held Zhang Yuan's hand tightly. At this time, Zhang Yuan's body temperature had dropped, and it dropped very quickly.
"Zitong!"
"Zitong!"
"Zitong is not afraid, I am here, and I will always be with Zitong..."
Watching Liu Chan talking to himself, Empress Dowager Mu was actually heartbroken. Although Liu Chan was not born to her, Liu Chan had always regarded her as his biological mother over the years.
Of course she can feel Liu Chan's kindness and filial piety.
Now that Zhang Yuan is gone due to smallpox, she knows that Liu Chan is feeling very painful at the moment. She originally wanted to comfort Liu Chan with a few words, but she doesn't know how to do so at the moment.
"Prime Minister!"
Queen Mother Mu sighed, and then said: "Give them some time."
Zhuge Liang also nodded slightly, and then went to the flower hall next door with Queen Mother Mu.
"Thank you, Queen Mother!"
As soon as he arrived at the flower hall, Zhuge Liang bowed.
"The Prime Minister is serious..." Empress Dowager Mu frowned and said, "The Ai family is only a first-class woman and can't do much. With the current epidemic, we still have to rely on the Prime Minister."
After the queen left, Queen Mother Mu felt that Liu Chan might not be able to recover for a while, but the current smallpox epidemic would not stop raging just because the emperor was sad.
Zhuge Liang said nothing. He was the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and it was his duty to solve problems for the Han Dynasty. Even if the Queen Mother did not say anything, he would shoulder his responsibility.
