"I want something to drink." Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "Can you please help me scoop a bowl for you, Queen?"
Empress Cao gave Zhao Zhen a bowl. The official took a spoonful and tasted it. He praised it and said: "It smells so good. It's the queen's wish. I want to eat a few more bowls." Then he drank three times in a row.
Bowl, and chatted with Queen Cao until late at night before leaving Kunning Hall.
In fact, in the Kunning Hall, Zhao Zhen felt hot all over. When he came out to let the night breeze blow, he felt a little better and said to Hu Yandui: "I won't sit in the sedan anymore. Let's walk."
"It's about time..." The nonsense turned out to be true.
"Wandering at night to get rid of your anger, you don't understand." Zhao Zhen, wearing a black cloak, said, "Just leave."
"Okay then." Hu Yandui agreed. The small yellow gate led the way with a lantern, while he supported Zhao Zhen and walked along the corridor at night in the inner palace.
Looking at the dark corners of the palace walls, Zhao Zhen sighed: "I have lived in this palace for fifty-three years. These fifty-three years have been so unremarkable and bizarre..." As he walked,
, while recalling everything that happened in this deep palace from childhood to adulthood.
Hu Yandui accompanied Zhao Zhen day and night, and could not notice the abnormality of the official family. He carefully persuaded Zhao Zhen to go back to the palace to sleep. However, the official family ignored him and continued to talk about himself:
"That year, I was sixteen years old and fell in love with Zhang Mei's great-granddaughter. However, the eldest lady was firmly opposed to it. She forced the granddaughter of Guo Chong's family to become my queen. Empress Guo was also a silly child. She wholeheartedly monitored the widow for my eldest lady. What do you think?
Why doesn't she want to think about how she will still have a good life once the eldest lady is gone?"
"Actually, I am just as stupid. I always thought that I was angry and wanted to abolish the queen. Only when I looked back did I realize that I was tricked by Lu Yijian's gang." Zhao Zhen kept chattering with a sad face: "Later I wanted to
She took her back, but she wanted me to reinstate her as queen. As a result, she was killed before she could get the golden book for reinstatement..."
When Hu Yandui saw that this was not going to work, he winked, and Xiaohuangmen brought a waistcoat, and then he and Li Xian, one on each side, talked and pulled, and finally persuaded the emperor to sit down, and quickly carried him back to Fu.
Ning Palace.
After finally getting the emperor to lie down on the bed, he called the imperial doctor to come over and take a look. He said it was okay and it might be caused by tonic, so he prescribed a dose of Qingliang powder and gave it to Zhao Zhen.
After taking the medicine, the emperor finally became calmer. Hu Yandui and Li Xian massaged him one by one. After a while, Zhao Zhen fell asleep. Hearing that the emperor's breathing became even, the two of them lit incense and covered the lamp with red gauze.
Candle, retreat outside.
The two of them figured out that if the officials had to get up in the middle of the night, someone would have to keep watch, so they agreed that one would stay up until midnight and the other would stay up until midnight. So Hu Yandui went to sleep in the side hall, while Li Xian kept watch outside.
It was quiet inside and outside the hall, and time passed by. In the blink of an eye, it was midnight. Li Xian was stunned when he suddenly heard a commotion on the dragon bed. He quickly went in to take a look and found that the official had suddenly sat up. He quickly got on
When I stepped forward to hold him up, I saw that Zhao Zhen was pale, breathing rapidly, and his saliva and nose were dripping.
"Come quickly, imperial physician, imperial physician!" Li Xian shouted quickly.
The imperial doctor arrived immediately and gave the emperor an injection. Zhao Zhen finally recovered, but he could no longer speak.
"Hurry and invite the queen!" Hu Yandui also came over and asked the imperial doctor: "How is the situation in the official family?"
The imperial doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead, shook his head and said, "I'll do my best..."
When Li Xian heard these words, he trembled, grabbed the imperial doctor's collar, and said sternly: "What does it mean to do your best?!"
"This is a disease of the official family," the imperial physician replied as if sifting through chaff, "I'm afraid it's something that cannot be cured by manpower..."
"Ah..." As soon as Li Xian let go, the imperial doctor almost collapsed.
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and treat the official!" Hu Yandui was shocked and angry, and urged the imperial doctor to rush to rescue him.
Li Xian stood aside, thought for a moment, then walked out of the palace, whispered a few instructions to his personal attendant, and the young eunuch ran out. After a while, he heard a whooshing sound and a red firework.
It blooms in the night sky and is so dazzling.
After hearing the news, Queen Cao was leaving the Kunning Hall in a hurry. When she saw the fireworks in the sky, her eyes immediately narrowed and she said coldly: "Go and see who set off the fireworks, arrest him, and then pass on the order. There is no decree from this palace."
, no one is allowed to open the palace door even a bit!"
At that moment, she finally showed her strong and resolute side, took a deep breath, walked quickly into the palace, and came to the imperial court. She saw that Zhao Zhen was already so angry that he opened his eyes for a while and closed them for a while.
Queen Cao rushed to his bed, cried in tears: "Sir, please wake up!"
At the Queen's call, Zhao Zhen opened his eyes again. This time he felt that his eyes were particularly bright. He opened his eyes wide and looked around. Queen Cao, the chamberlain and the imperial doctor did not understand. Only he knew in his heart that he was there.
My heart was calling anxiously, Zhao Shu
Woolen cloth?
Only then did he remember that Zhao Shu had been sent hundreds of miles away. How could Sijun not be present at this time? Zhao Zhen was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, but he could not say a word.
It is leaking more and more, beating everyone's heart. It is already ugly.
Empress Cao came close to Zhao Zhen's face and called eagerly: "Sir, sir, do you have anything else to say?"
Zhao Zhen wanted to speak, but he couldn't make a sound. He couldn't even move a finger... His whole body was like a piece of wood.
The imperial doctor rushed forward to rescue him, but when he tested the official's pulse, he couldn't help but said in shock: "Mother, the official can't hold on anymore..."
"Can you make him speak?" Empress Cao suppressed her panic and grief and asked in a deep voice.
The imperial doctor shook his head sadly.
"Ah..." Empress Cao suddenly felt a heavy weight in her heart. The officials have not yet told who the heir to the empire will be!
"Your Majesty, this is an important moment. Please order to open the palace gate and summon all the ministers to discuss important matters together!" Li Xian said, and several eunuchs behind him also moved. As long as Queen Cao nodded,
You should hurry up and prepare the Ink Fish Talisman.
However, it took Queen Cao a while before she turned around, looked at Li Xian coldly and said, "Do you want to imitate Wang Jien?"
Although the Shiquan eunuch was his idol, it would be heartbreaking for the queen to compare this person to herself. Li Xian was not a vegetarian, and sneered: "Mother, the official drank some of your longevity soup to be able to
You will get sick suddenly!"
"That's nonsense!" Queen Cao's heart was beating fast. This was what worried her the most... On the way here, she thought clearly. There was no basis for this matter. She must deny it, otherwise she would be doomed. "Who's here?"
, take down this barking thing!”
After all, she was the head of the harem. If the official family was unlucky, she would be promoted to the queen mother, the most powerful person in the Song Dynasty. So the eunuchs in the palace hesitated a little and took Li Xian down.
"According to my order, no one is allowed to leave Funing Palace without my handwriting. Anyone who violates this rule will be killed!" Empress Cao ordered in a cold voice, and the eunuchs and maids in the palace remained silent.
The imperial doctors continued to rescue her with all their strength, while Empress Cao stood aside, her thoughts racing... The official was like this. It would be false for her to say she was not grieving, but it would be too false to say she was in pain. Zhao Zhen had never liked her for decades.
A beautiful woman, in front of her there is Concubine Zhang, Beauty Wang, and countless Xiaojiabiyu.
Yes, Zhao Zhen just likes Xiaojiabiyu, but he has no good impressions of a lady like her. Without the love of the official family, her youth and most of her life were buried within this deep palace wall.
Why should she make her miserable for the official family?
Because she has more important things. She is a smart person, how could she not realize that it was most likely her bowl of thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum longevity soup that caused the official family to be like this. This recipe was dedicated to her by Gao Taotao,
He said he got it from a certain miracle doctor.
I have great trust in this adopted daughter and niece, but now it seems that she may have been used as a weapon!
But reason quickly extinguished her anger, and she realized that she had boarded her pirate ship. If she pushed the couple out, they would definitely pull her along!
If nothing is done, Zhao Shu will inevitably investigate the matter in the future when he ascends to power. Although no one can prove that he killed the official, Zhao Shu can discredit himself and lose his face based on this groundless accusation.
Stand in the world again!
For now, the only way is to control your destiny in your own hands!
Thinking of this, Empress Cao took a deep breath, and she finally realized that she was about to become the most powerful person in the Song Dynasty.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That red firework can be seen clearly outside the palace.
In Chen's mansion, there were guards who were at high places, staring in the direction of the palace day and night. When they saw the fireworks, they immediately reported it to Chen Ke.
Chen Ke had trouble sleeping tonight, so he jumped out of bed after hearing the news. According to the agreement, Li Xian would only set off fireworks in the most critical situation. The red ones meant that the emperor was about to collapse...
After waking up a little, Chen Ke couldn't help but feel frightened. He had underestimated them after all! They had done it after all!
Su Xiaomei dressed for him and said softly: "Husband, the more critical the moment, the more calm you must be."
Chen Ke nodded, gently hugged his wife's waist, and whispered: "Ask Yue'e to fetch all the people from the old house, including your brother and father-in-law, and hide them all in Wuyou Cave.
I'm afraid that if the situation becomes serious, it will affect you."
"Is this really possible?" Su Xiaomei's beautiful eyes widened. People who were born in the peaceful era had never seen blood and blood, and they could not imagine that it would happen to them.
"..." Chen Ke took a deep breath and said, "Be careful and you won't make a big mistake..." After saying that, he kissed his wife and walked out of the bedroom quickly.
