The rain had stopped and the sky was clear. Only the drops of rainwater under the eaves on the ground reminded me that there had really been a storm just now.
The emperor's palace was much more lively than the side hall where Prince Ping was.
Not all of the courtiers who were discussing affairs in the Qinzheng Palace could enter the emperor's bedroom in the harem, but they all flocked here at this moment.
What happened just now was so shocking that they still can't believe it until now.
The low cries of women and children could be heard in the hall.
Seeing Chen Shao come in, everyone rushed over.
"His Royal Highness Prince Ping..." the leading official asked.
Chen Shao answered with a livid face.
"...We can't just leave it there..." the official immediately changed his subject and said.
This is the first time that he died so miserably, as if he were an abandoned prince.
"Let's wait for Your Majesty to make a decision." Chen Shao said, looking inside, "How is Your Majesty?"
"Empress, Madam Cheng is here."
Accompanied by this voice, the queen who lowered her head to wipe her tears raised her head, and the prince of Jin'an County who was standing beside her also looked over.
"Pass." the queen said.
The curtain was opened, and a woman walked in with her head lowered.
"I've seen..." She knelt down to salute.
"Forget the greetings for now, come and see how your majesty is doing?" the queen interrupted her.
Cheng Jiaoniang raised her head in response, and her eyes met the queen who was looking over.
This is Mrs. Cheng.
The queen said in her heart.
He is truly worthy of being a disciple of the Immortal.
Cheng Jiaoniang immediately looked away, bowed her head and stepped forward, and the several imperial doctors who were standing beside the emperor's bed moved aside.
The concubines and little princesses all stopped crying and looked at Cheng Jiaoniang with some nervousness.
Cheng Jiaoniang looked at the emperor's face and stretched out her hand to feel for his pulse.
Doctor Li stood nearest and watched Cheng Jiaoniang's movements.
Others in the hall were unfamiliar with Cheng Jiaoniang, but he was not unfamiliar with her. He thought he was the one who saw this woman when she first came to Beijing for her first medical consultation.
This woman was not like this at that time. At that time, she was indifferent and casual towards Old Mrs. Chen, without even giving him an expression.
But now she is looking very seriously and the expression on her face is very rich.
Can she really be cured?
Sure enough, it was Fengji.
Historical records record that Zhongzong suffered a sudden stroke during the court meeting and was bedridden for a year before he died.
It’s really interesting, with changes and changes.
Cheng Jiaoniang looked at the sleeping emperor, lowered her head and reached out to put her hand on his wrist.
Beating pulses, warm and soft skin, living people.
Illness, death after a new year, four cold words.
The sadness, panic, and worry brought about by this word "ji" are all gone. What future generations see and feel are only those four words, but not the feeling of being in them.
A ruthless and helpless fact.
The fact that the Cheng family was exterminated would definitely be recorded in the book. It was probably because the Cheng family had conspired to rebel and the family was wiped out...
Cheng Jiaoniang raised her hand and twitched her fingers.
It is not easy to leave six words in history books.
Just six words, simple, deserted.
There was a heavy coughing sound in her ears. Cheng Jiaoniang looked up and Doctor Li glared at her.
"Ms. Cheng, how are you?" he asked.
"It's Fengji." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
"Can you cure it?" Dr. Li asked hurriedly.
Cheng Jiaoniang shook her head.
"I can't," she said.
This is a simple answer.
"Ms. Cheng, if Your Majesty can't wake up from the wind disease, it will be fatal. Why can't you cure it?" A concubine couldn't help shouting.
"Because my master never taught me how to treat wind diseases." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
I thought she would tell me some medical theory or explain the rules, but I didn't expect that the reason she told me was this.
Everyone present was a little stunned.
People won’t….
Then there is nothing you can do.
As for whether it is true or false...
Crying sounded again in the palace, and the cries caused Chen Shao and other ministers outside to rush in regardless of etiquette.
When I heard that it was because Mrs. Cheng couldn't be cured, she was crying, not the emperor...
Everyone's expressions became slightly calmer, but looking at the still sleeping emperor, everyone looked heavy again.
The sooner Feng Ji wakes up, the more hope he has. If he stays asleep...
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly changed again.
A country cannot live without a king for a day.
But now that the emperor is in a coma, and Prince Ping, the prince who was originally able to take charge, has been chopped into a piece of coke by lightning, who will take charge?
No, who will take charge is still a small matter. The big thing is the successor.
"It's not good, it's not good!"
A shout suddenly came from outside, breaking the silence in the room.
A waiter ran in in a panic.
"Master Gao broke into the palace."
Mr. Gao!
Chen Shao and others' expressions changed drastically, and they immediately turned around and ran out.
"Father, father."
The hoarse shouts echoed in his ears, and Gao Xiaoguan rolled and crawled and grabbed the corner of Gao Lingbo's clothes.
"Father, father, His Highness Prince Ping... His Highness Prince Ping..."
He was crying and shouting, his voice was hoarse, and his body was even more miserable.
His Royal Highness Prince Ping...
His Royal Highness Prince Ping….
Gao Lingbo walked closer to the side hall step by step and looked at the lonely young man lying on the couch.
His body was trembling and his outstretched hands were trembling.
"Master, Master, your mother is pregnant with a dragon fetus."
The sound of joy echoed in my ears.
"This is really good news. Your Majesty is finally pregnant with a dragon fetus."
Yes, it's good news. The imperial concubine has given birth to a dragon fetus and will be your majesty's first son.
From the Queen Mother to the Imperial Concubine, they were the closest relatives of the two emperors.
What happened to the maternal relatives? What happened to the maternal relatives who were ridiculed and then women became powerful?
Relatives can also achieve success, honor their ancestors, and make contributions.
Gao Lingbo has great talents and great ambitions, and he has great ambitions to serve the country and the people. Is it possible that he has to be restricted just because of his status as a foreign relative? Every step he takes will make him laugh at others, and he has to give up his ambitions and settle down to just eat and drink.
Relative?
There are many kinds of relatives, and what Gao Lingbo wants to do is what his former relatives could not do.
To have power, you also need to be famous.
He did it, ups and downs for decades, and remained consistent.
Those who wanted to harm him and blocked his way fell one by one.
Those who clamored to expel him, a traitor, became stepping stones under his feet one by one.
Step by step, the top of the tall tower is only one step away.
"...Master, Master, it's not good, His Royal Highness Prince Ping is dead..."
Nonsense! Nonsense!
How could His Highness Prince Ping die?
His Highness Prince Ping will never die!
Gao Lingbo stretched out his hand and grabbed the shoulder of King Ping in front of him.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, get up quickly." He shouted, while shaking, his voice became louder and more urgent, "Get up quickly, get up quickly!"
There were chaotic footsteps outside the door.
"Gao Lingbo, what are you doing?" Chen Shao's voice sounded outside.
Before Gao Lingbo could answer, another female voice screamed outside the door.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
Chen Shao's voice suddenly became urgent, as if he wanted to dissuade someone.
As soon as he finished speaking, someone rushed in.
"Fourth brother! Fourth brother!"
When the imperial concubine saw this, she screamed and cried loudly and rushed over.
"Fourth Brother, Fourth Brother, what's wrong with you?" She knelt on the ground, hugged Prince Ping tightly, stretched out her hand to caress the face that had long lost its original appearance, and pressed it against him without hesitation, "Get up, hurry up.
Get up, don’t scare me, don’t scare me.”
The crazy imperial concubine calmed Gao Lingbo down. He raised his head and looked at Chen Shao and other ministers who were standing at the door.
"I'm here to cry for my nephew, can't I?" he said slowly.
Chen Shao had a complicated expression, looking at the unconscious concubine, and finally said nothing.
The hall was filled with shrill cries. It was obviously more lively than the previous one, but it made those standing here feel even more chilly.
"How could this happen? How could this happen?" The imperial concubine murmured, looking at Prince Ping, and then pushed away violently, "No, no, this is not the fourth brother, this is not the fourth brother."
She began to retreat hurriedly again, her face frightened, and she looked around in panic.
"Go away, go away." She waved and shouted, as if to drive away something.
This action made the maids in the palace tremble with fear.
"He is Brother Six! He is Brother Six! Brother Six is here to cause trouble!" the imperial concubine shouted.
As soon as these words came out, Chen Shao and others frowned slightly, when Gao Lingbo raised his hand and hit the imperial concubine hard on the back of her neck.
Chen Shao and others could not help but cry out loudly, watching the imperial concubine fall softly to the ground.
"Your Majesty, if you can't bear the stimulation, send her back to the palace and let the imperial doctor watch her." Gao Lingbo said, his voice was dull, not at all like Shicai's gaffe.
The chamberlains and maids did not dare to hesitate, and hurriedly stepped forward to help the imperial concubine and the empress out.
Gao Lingbo also stood up and walked out without looking at King Ping again.
If there is no meaning, you should put aside the meaningless things and do the meaningful things.
"Master Gao, you can go back..." Chen Shao turned around and said. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Gao Lingbo running away from the side of the hall and back.
Chen Shao and others were stunned.
What a bastard!
Everyone rushed to catch up.
"Stop him, stop him."
The Forbidden Army squads surged up from all sides, but Gao Lingbo raised his hands and actually took out a jade belt.
"My minister, Gao Lingbo, has been entrusted by the late emperor to serve your majesty loyally. I am the nephew of the queen mother. I heard that your majesty, the queen mother, has come to visit you on pretense. Who dares to stop you!" he shouted with raised eyebrows.
He sent it out with a loud voice, which really made the surrounding imperial soldiers stand still.
"That is the belt given to him by the late emperor." Chen Shao said, sighed and shook his head.
This is not something to be hidden. Sooner or later, it will be announced to the world. Sooner or later, Chen Shao sneered in his heart, fearing that it would have spread like a storm in Beijing.
In the emperor's palace, the doctors continued to administer acupuncture and medicine, while the queen and the concubines and princesses retreated a little further.
Although Cheng Jiaoniang said she couldn't cure it, because of Gao Lingbo's incident, Chen Shao and others left, and the queen lowered her head to wipe her tears, her heart was with the emperor, and no one arranged her stay, so now she is still standing
In the temple.
Someone approached her.
"Are you afraid?"
Prince Jin'an asked in a low voice.
Cheng Jiaoniang turned to look at him. Prince Jin'an's hair and clothes were still wet, and no one wanted to let him change his clothes in such a big event.
I don't know if it's because of his wet hair, but his face looks more angular and his eyes are deep.
"What are you afraid of?" Cheng Jiaoniang said.
Before he finished speaking, noisy footsteps were heard outside the door, and the curtain was suddenly opened.
"His Majesty!"
Gao Lingbo shouted, fell to his knees on the ground, knelt forward, shouted in his mouth, and shed tears in his eyes.
"His Majesty!"
When the queen heard the sound, she hurriedly came over and was about to speak, but Gao Lingbo's eyes fell on Cheng Jiaoniang.
"Master Chen!" he shouted with raised eyebrows, turned to look at Chen Shao and others who were following them, and pointed at Cheng Jiaoniang, "You said foreign ministers are not allowed to enter, so how did she get here?"
"Your Majesty was originally at a court meeting and summoned Mrs. Cheng to ask questions." Chen Shao said with a solemn face.
"What do you want to ask, Your Majesty?" Gao Lingbo immediately asked loudly.
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the officials present changed slightly.
They couldn't help but subconsciously recall what His Majesty wanted to ask...
"This is not what Master Gao needs to know." Chen Shao shouted in a deep voice, "Is Master Gao here to ask this or to visit His Majesty?"
Gao Lingbo finished his sentence and did not ask any more questions, but changed the subject.
"Then since Your Majesty is like this, why is she still in the palace? Did you let her in? But you want to stop me!" He shouted angrily.
It sounds like a child throwing a tantrum and acting up.
Isn't this Gao Lingbo going crazy like a noble concubine?
"Master Gao, Mrs. Cheng was invited by this palace to diagnose and treat the emperor," the queen said.
Gao Lingbo looked at the queen and said oh.
"That's right." He said slowly, narrowing his eyes with a dangerous light, "The queen invited this lady Cheng, who knows when there is thunder and how to draw it, and dares to swear an oath to your majesty to lose, and she will cause the thunder to strike her down."
Diagnosis and treatment.”
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone present changed drastically, and their eyes suddenly focused on Cheng Jiaoniang.
"If my sworn brothers in the Northwest Inspection Service are well-paid and deserved to die, and there is no injustice, then since the daughter of the people invites all the people to listen to me, she will definitely want all the people to listen to me."
"How to sue?"
"The daughter of the people punishes herself and is destroyed by the thunder of heaven."
With these words echoing in the ears of the officials present, they looked at the woman standing in the corner, their expressions became strange, and some subconsciously took a step back, as if they wanted to stand further away from the woman.
Heavenly thunder extinguishes….
The thunder from the sky is extinguishing.
