A burst of laughter came from the emperor's palace, but it was quickly covered up. The servants standing outside the door remained motionless, as if they had not heard anything.
"Your Majesty, it's true, you didn't see what the Queen Mother looked like at that time."
An Fei stretched out her hand to cover her mouth. Although her laughter was muffled, the smile in her eyes was still overflowing.
The queen looked at her.
"It's as if you saw it with your own eyes," she said.
Concubine An was talked about in a sarcastic way.
"You can imagine it," she said, and looked at the queen with a bit of nervousness. "Perhaps, this time, I will become the Queen Mother..."
The queen smiled.
That's great, but nothing in this world is that easy.
Prince Ping is dead, the imperial concubine is crazy, His Majesty is sick, and the Queen Mother is not frightened to death. How can a few servants who were beaten until they screamed frighten her to death?
"The Queen Mother has woken up." She said, the smile on her face not dissipating, "But I don't care what happens to her. I am happy that Prince Jin'an's illness is really cured."
That's fine. Can this still be fake?
Concubine An frowned in confusion.
"Yes, yes, and with Mrs. Cheng here, Your Highness will definitely not get sick again in the future." She said with a smile.
The queen nodded.
"Yes, I feel relieved that Mrs. Cheng is by his side." She said, "I can wait with peace of mind."
"What are you waiting for?" Concubine An asked.
The queen looked at her.
"Waiting to die," she said.
………………………………
The news that King Jin'an has recovered from his illness has spread throughout the capital.
"...If you worship in person, it will naturally be better."
"...If a divine disciple like Mrs. Cheng is celebrating, the Lord of Hell will also have to retreat..."
The chatter and laughter downstairs was noisy and lively. The people in the box reached out to close the window and suddenly it became quiet.
"So, when the Queen Mother came to the Prince's Mansion of Jin'an County, it was indeed the Prince of Jin'an County who couldn't do it?"
A person in the hall asked.
There were four or five people scattered in the box, all in plain clothes, but their demeanor and behavior showed their status as officials.
"Yes, you have to put on your clothes." Another person nodded and said.
The clothes are, of course, shrouds.
"Having been dead for so long, can Mrs. Cheng be saved?"
"How is this possible!"
"Must be pretending to be dead..."
"There are many clan members who pretend to be crazy or stupid in order to avoid suspicion. Pretending to be dead is nothing unusual."
There was lively chatter and laughter in the room, and someone coughed slightly.
"It's not unusual to be rescued after being dead for an hour."
Isn’t it unusual to be rescued after being dead for an hour? Everyone looked over.
"Ms. Cheng once rescued someone who had been dead for half a day." Han Yuanchao said with a slight smile.
Half a day!
Everyone was in an uproar and looked a little surprised when they saw Han Yuanchao.
"So, have you seen the Yuan Dynasty?" someone asked.
Han Yuanchao nodded with a smile.
"It's my little aunt," he said. "My aunt was about to be buried five years ago, but she was rescued by Mrs. Cheng."
Everyone here had never heard of this before, and they were all a little stunned for a while.
It turns out that such a thing really exists.
"...The crown prince of Guo Kingdom died for half a day and was rescued by the miracle doctor Bian Que." Someone nodded and smiled.
That's true, there are all kinds of strange diseases in the world, and there are endless magical ways to treat them.
"...but the crown prince of Guo State was suffering from cadaver syndrome, and the prince of Jin'an County was poisoned."
"So what, the disease can be cured, but the poison cannot?"
There was a noisy argument in the hall. Han Yuanchao listened with a smile, and while drinking, someone came over from the side.
"Brother Yuan Chao." He said with a bit of curiosity, "So you and Mrs. Cheng met five years ago?"
Han Yuanchao shook his head.
"No, I didn't recognize her at that time." He smiled.
The man nodded, suddenly startled, and reached out to grab Han Yuanchao's arm.
"You didn't recognize her at that time?" He repeated, his eyes bright, "That means you did get to know her later?"
later…
Han Yuanchao paused for a moment while holding the wine bowl, then smiled and lowered his head.
"Of course I recognize it." He raised his head, "The Cheng family is famous all over the world, who doesn't recognize it?"
While they were talking here, the door was opened, and someone came in hurriedly. They looked at the people in the hall and greeted them one after another.
"You're too late, hurry up, hurry up, I'll punish myself with three drinks."
The man waved his hand.
"Stop drinking, something big has happened." He said hurriedly, "The king of Jin'an County killed more than a dozen servants with a stick and threw them in front of the doors of many officials."
Kill with a stick!
It is a crime to kill servants indiscriminately!
And he killed a dozen of them at once!
There was an uproar in the hall.
Han Yuanchao shook the wine bowl in his hand and frowned.
Kill people...
……………………………………………
"absurd!"
Chen Shao threw the tea bowl on the table and made a loud noise, causing the maids in the room to bow their heads and retreat. The maids and maids in the corridor also hurriedly retreated.
"What kind of behavior is this?"
Chen Shaoyu couldn't get rid of his anger, so he stretched out his hand to pat the cases and shouted.
"He was harmed, no wonder he was so angry." Mrs. Chen said, "I also said that he was forced to drink the poisoned wine, but I didn't expect that he was actually poisoned..."
Having said this, I couldn't help but raise my hands to wipe away my tears.
"No one can bear it."
"There are things you should do and things you shouldn't do." Chen Shao said with a stern face, "There are laws on how to punish people. What's the difference between him killing those people with sticks and those who harmed him? He was tyrannical, ignored the national law, and dared to do so.
Send a man who was beaten half to death into the palace to scare the Queen Mother! What does he want to do?"
"Prince Jin'an is not a tyrannical person." Mrs. Chen said, "He has always been respectful and courteous, and he is kind and kind to others. Who among the ministers in the dynasty doesn't know this? He has been a lovable child since he was a child. This matter
It's definitely not what he meant..."
As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Shao stood up suddenly.
Not what he meant?
That…..
Yes, it really doesn’t look like the behavior of Prince Jin’an. The behavior of such a tyrannical person who would kill anyone who stands in my way is clearly...
Is it her again?
Old Mrs. Chen couldn't help but turn his head and glance at the screen.
If Prince Jin'an was poisoned by someone, some things need to be reconsidered, such as Cheng Silang's death.
Old Mrs. Chen stretched out his hand to caress several cases.
What happened on the same day, it is not unusual for people to die, but what is strange is Cheng Jiaoniang’s family...
It seems that is indeed the case.
The person who suffered the poisoning of Jin'an County Prince was not only himself, but also Cheng Silang who was innocently implicated.
Cheng Silang, that was a person, someone she was willing to spend a lot of money on just to get a smile.
Old Mrs. Chen sighed softly.
"This has just begun." He said slowly, looking outside the door, "Don't forget that there is a monument without words outside the East City Gate."
In late summer, heat waves hit the capital one after another.
This time the focus of the topic is no longer Mrs. Cheng alone, but the Prince of Jin'an County.
First was their marriage, and then came the resurrection of King Jin'an from the dead and his return to normal. These two things had not spread widely. King Jin'an was poisoned because he was framed, and then he killed more than a dozen servants with sticks and threw them.
In front of many people's homes.
"...I don't know who harmed me, so I simply killed them all. Anyway, they deserve death for not serving me well..."
It is said that this is what the King of Jin'an County said.
He would rather kill someone by mistake than let anyone go. He just killed him and dealt with him at home behind his back. He even threw the person in front of someone else's house. Such cruel and arrogant behavior was shocking.
At that time, several old ministers went to the palace to kneel and cry to His Majesty.
The court was in an uproar, the capital was boiling, and within a day a snowstorm of impeachment memorials were flying to the Queen Mother's desk.
Gao Lingbo stood up to get out of bed. Mrs. Qi Guo and her beautiful concubines and maids in front of the bed suddenly started crying.
"Master, please lie down quickly."
Gao Lingbo pushed them away impatiently.
"I'm fine." He said.
The women in the room cried louder.
Across the curtain, the staff outside also had to dissuade him.
"The Queen Mother is anxious to see you, and she also wants to ask the King of Jin'an County for his countermeasures. You might as well just give instructions to your chamberlains," said an aide.
Gao Lingbo raised his eyebrows.
Is this something that can be done just by sending someone a message?
That is the Queen Mother, not the previous noble concubine.
The imperial concubine was headstrong and arrogant but still had a clear mind. The empress dowager had lived a happy life since she was a child. She was protected by the late emperor, respected by the emperor, and cared for by the Gao family outside. She never encountered the current predicament.
It's not something that can be appeased by just a few words.
"I'm fine." Gao Lingbo said, "Didn't the imperial doctor also say that? I'm so anxious that I'll be fine if I spit out this mouthful of blood."
Mrs. Qi cried loudly.
"How can you trust the words of the imperial doctor? That's Mrs. Cheng." She said, "Sir, the 14th Master can't even get out of bed now!"
Gao Lingbo was so angry that he almost spit out another mouthful of blood.
They had always laughed at the woman, Bona, because her reputation as a disciple of the Immortal God would sooner or later lead to a stab in the head, so instead of controlling it, she only added fuel to the flames. However, they did not expect that the woman's reputation would not lead to a stab in the head, but they themselves would be stabbed by the reputation first.
"Nothing's wrong with him at Fourteen. So many doctors and pharmacists have said that he's fine at all, and he's still pretending to be dead!"
Gao Lingbo could no longer hold back his anger and shouted.
"Throw him out of the house and I'll see if he can't survive!"
While pushing away these crying women.
"Someone prepare a car and enter the palace!"
Compared to the hustle and bustle of the outside world, the Prince's Mansion of Jin'an County, where all this happened, was quiet as usual.
The laughter of Prince Jin'an could be heard in the room. Su Xin, who was standing on the corridor talking to the maid, couldn't help but look back, and the smile on her lips became a little thicker.
"Since having the princess, Your Highness has not only gotten better, but also smiled more." A lady in charge said.
"Yes, the princess makes people laugh the most." Su Xin said with a smile.
Really? This princess who looks cold and rarely speaks, and is either wielding a sword or wielding a gun or writing and reading a book, can actually make people laugh the most?
The ladies in charge smiled a little strangely.
I wonder how she makes people laugh?
While talking, I saw Eunuch Jing walking in in a hurry.
Su Xin hurriedly made a call and watched Eunuch Jing go in.
Not long after, the laughter of Prince Jin'an came from inside again, accompanied by the voice of Eunuch Jing.
"Your Royal Highness, you are so amazing."
The ladies in charge looked at each other, and as Su Xin finished speaking, they all bowed and left.
Su Xin lifted the curtain and walked into the house, where she saw Prince Jin'an and Cheng Jiaoniang sitting opposite each other in the east room, while Mr. Jing was talking happily.
"Sure enough, as you said, we sent people to look around. There was nothing unusual in the other houses. Only the Gao Mansion, although they acted covertly, still found out that the number of buried corpses they carried out yesterday were many more than what we sent.
Yesterday and today, we invited many imperial doctors, as well as some outside doctors, to treat Mrs. Gao, but it is said that Gao Xiaoguan and Gao Daren are also in poor health..."
Speaking of this, Eunuch Jing's face was filled with smiles.
"Master Gao and Xiaoguan Gao are really filial. When they heard that the old lady was sick, they fell ill with worry. This is a beautiful story."
Doctor Li, who had not yet left after the pulse diagnosis, looked at Cheng Jiaoniang.
Compared to the beaming Eunuch Jing and the smiling Prince Jin'an, Cheng Jiaoniang, who was slowly eating a bowl of tea, looked as calm as ever.
Although she was not smiling at this time, the description of the charming lady with a faint smile appeared in front of Dr. Li's eyes.
"Dark loss? This is not called dark loss."
Yes, His Highness was not killed by them, so it should not be considered that they suffered a hidden loss.
