The one with the ugliest face was Zhuang Zheng. He had done everything before him, but he never imagined that those people would suddenly riot and put himself in danger.
Zhou Minghua calmed down and said to the palace attendants who were thin and sallow due to the epidemic: "You say we are here to harm you, but think about it carefully. If we want to harm you, we will directly cut off water and food, or we will
It's enough to poison the food, so why do we have to come here in person? Moreover, you have seen with your own eyes that the condition has improved after taking the medicine. If you give us a little more time, the medicine will be fully effective and the cure will be achieved.
Every one of you."
"I will never believe your sweet words again." The palace man who spoke was originally a eunuch from the Chonghua Palace, named Ning Fu. He had always been relied upon by the Huang family, and he was also the first to suffer from the epidemic, but his condition progressed slowly.
, there is no fear of life yet.
"But it's useless for you to trap us here. On the contrary, you will miss your own medical treatment." The one who spoke was Zhuang Zheng. As he spoke, his eyes dodge a little. Facing these people who were harmed by him,
I feel uneasy after all.
Ning Fu said excitedly: "I don't care, if you can't heal us, you will die too!"
Zhou Minghua said: "You are all people in the palace, and you should know the rules in the palace. If you are acting like this now, you are already committing a crime. If it reaches the ears of the emperor, you will all be punished. By then, it will be considered a crime.
Even if you take medicine, you will still die, so why bother?"
A flash of flinching flashed in Ning Fu's eyes, but he quickly said in a cold voice: "Since both the left and right are going to die, let's die together. None of you can even think of escaping."
Zhou Minghua advised: "Listen to me, it's too late for you to stop now. I can pretend that nothing happened and won't report it to the emperor, but if I continue, there will really be no turning back."
His words made Ning Fu and others hesitate. Seeing that they were wavering, Zhou Minghua quickly persuaded them: "I believe that you have no intention of causing trouble and are just trying to survive, so I will not embarrass you. I will treat you right."
Is that right?"
Doctor Fang nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, I and the Vice-President can assure you that they will not report it to the Emperor and will do their best to save your lives."
After their persuasion, Ning Fu and others finally began to retreat, and the situation eased. At this moment, several Ouchi guards who heard the noise rushed in, holding swords and saying sternly: "What are you doing? Retreat immediately."
Get down, otherwise you will be shot without mercy!"
The appearance of the Ouchi guards and the phrase "shoot to kill" made Ning Fu and others tense up again, and they said excitedly: "Don't come over, otherwise we will kill these imperial doctors!"
While he was speaking, a dozen palace people had already swarmed up and once again surrounded Imperial Physician Fang and others. Some of them even grabbed their arms to prevent them from escaping!
The riot of the palace people made the Ouchi guard tensed up, and he pulled out the sword from his waist. The bright blade was extremely dazzling in the sun, making people afraid to look directly at it. He said: "I'm warning you again, stand down immediately and let go of the imperial doctor.
Otherwise, there is no chance of survival!"
A palace official screamed: "Kill if you can. We won't live long, but these imperial doctors will also die!"
Under such a stalemate, one of the guards withdrew. Not long after, Liu Hu brought someone over. Now he is over fifty years old, with a frosty white color on his temples, but his skills are still very good, coupled with experience
Old man, many young guards are no match for him.
Liu Hu frowned and said, "Why did it happen suddenly?"
The guard lowered his head and said: "My subordinates heard the noise and came over to take a look. I found that they were agitated and held the imperial doctors hostage. My lord, what should I do?" Although Hongli ordered that if anyone in the palace wants to leave Zhongcui Palace or
If it was a riot, they would be killed without mercy, but now it was about the death of many imperial doctors, and they really did not dare to act rashly.
Not to mention these guards, even Liu Hu found it extremely difficult. The epidemic in the palace has not yet been resolved. If these imperial doctors have any shortcomings, the epidemic will really become a disaster, and the imperial concubine's life will also be in danger.
Liu Hu took a step forward, stared at Ning Fu and others and said: "If you don't want to die, let go of the imperial doctors immediately."
Ning Fu and others were originally in fear and madness because of the epidemic. Now they saw the knives in Liu Hu and others' hands. Their emotions rose to the extreme, and they loudly said: "We have to leave."
Here, let us go!"
"You are suffering from a current epidemic. The Emperor has decreed that you should be treated by the imperial physician here. You must not..." Before Liu Hu finished speaking, someone from the palace said excitedly: "What kind of treatment? It just wants us to die. We don't want it."
Die, live, live!"
Liu Hu comforted him: "I understand how you feel. The imperial doctors are already thinking of a solution. As long as you let go of the imperial doctors and stay here for a long time, everything will be fine soon!"
"You lied to us!" All the palace officials were extremely excited. Liu Hu could not calm them down with just a few words. Some people even picked up the broken porcelain pieces left by smashing the medicine bowl and placed them on the necks of the imperial doctors.
Go up, and then move forward, making the guards nervous and pointing their swords at each other. Once they cross the gate of Zhongcui Palace, even if they hurt the imperial doctor, they must be killed, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.
Seeing that the situation was getting more and more tense, Liu Hu was afraid that there would really be a conflict, so he quickly said: "You want to leave, right? Well, I will ask the emperor for permission to let you leave!"
Ning Fu signaled everyone to stop, and then said: "We not only have to leave Zhongcui Palace, but also leave the Forbidden City!" He knew in his heart that they could not control the imperial doctors for a lifetime. As long as they let these people go, they in the Forbidden City would be like a group of captives.
A duck in a cage is bound to die. Only by leaving the Forbidden City can he survive.
In fact, as long as the epidemic is not cured, they will still die, but at this moment, they can no longer think about this and just want to survive.
Liu Hu agreed: "Okay, you stay here, I will report to the emperor right away!" After that, he lowered his voice and said to the guards: "Watch carefully, don't let them come out, but remember not to
If you want to stimulate it again, wait until I go to see the emperor."
After the guards agreed, he hurried to Yanxi Palace. Since the imperial concubine fell ill, Hongli spent the rest of his time in Yanxi Palace except for going to court. He even reviewed the papers there.
When they got there, the Huang family and the Hu family happened to be there. After Liu Hu saluted respectively, he recounted what happened in Zhongcui Palace, and then said: "Your Majesty, those palace officials asked my subordinates to let them leave the Forbidden City, otherwise they will not
Let all the imperial doctors go."
Huang said eagerly: "Your Majesty, all the imperial doctors must be careful, otherwise no one will be able to cure this epidemic."
