"Your Majesty, it's time for you to take medicine!"
Liu Che was awakened by the light voice in a trance, and the tiredness in his body could not go away. He didn't like this feeling. Since his illness the year before last, Liu Che's body has been deteriorating. This is the result of time.
Whether you are the all-powerful emperor or a mediocre passerby, everything is like a floating cloud in the face of time.
Mrs. Gou Yi was holding a golden bowl, which was very beautiful in terms of workmanship and style. It was said that it was specially made for His Majesty by the alchemy master of Mount Emei. Eating and drinking with this bowl can prolong life. Liu Che felt this,
Whenever he ate from this bowl, he did feel better. Of course, Liu Che was not confused. He asked Liu Ruyi to find someone to look at it, but he found no clues.
Taking the golden bowl from Mrs. Gou Yi's hand, the temperature of the concoction inside was just right. He drank it all in one breath. Liu Che closed his eyes again. The warm feeling came over him again, and his energy was much better. He was so tired.
It's fading little by little.
"Your Majesty!" Mrs. Gou Yi took out a shiny pill from somewhere in her hand and held it in front of Liu Che with a smile: "This is the Nine-turn Ruyi Pill that the master has just practiced. The master said that this pill can
It promotes vitality. Taking more of it will be of great benefit to Your Majesty's dragon body."
Liu Che didn't like taking elixirs. Not to mention the taste, although the effect was obvious, he always felt uncomfortable in his heart. Ever since Su Ren performed a mercury murder in front of him, Liu Che had a deep appreciation for this kind of lustrous elixir.
There was an inexplicable repulsion. He waved his hand and did not take the elixir in Mrs. Gou Yi's hand. He rolled his eyelids and glanced at this beautiful woman: "I just finished practicing and I want to find someone to give it a try. I will try it again in ten days."
Take.”
There was no embarrassment or surprise on Mrs. Gou Yi's face. She still nodded with a smile and put the elixir away: "Your Majesty's splitting headaches in the past few days have made me very scared. Otherwise, I'd better ask Mr. Chunyu to do it for me."
Your Majesty, please check your pulse! Master can help Your Majesty communicate with heaven and humans, but it cannot solve this minor illness."
"Yes!" Liu Che nodded: "Mr. Chunyu is a miracle doctor in this world. He should be a hundred years old this year, right? Mr. Trouble must not be careless in his actions. It is said that Liu Qumao and Jiang Chong."
There was not much time, and Liu Qumao and Jiang Chong came in a hurry. Before they could speak, Liu Che asked: "Can we find out who wants to harm me?"
Liu Qumao hurriedly knelt on the ground and cried: "Your Majesty, help me! I already had some clues, but a few days ago, General Hussar suddenly led his men to smash up the Tingwei Mansion and kidnapped some prisoners. In the past few days, even more so.
Lead people to surround Tingwei's Mansion, Tingwei's Mansion has been..."
Liu Che looked at Jiang Chong with a sneer: "What do you have to say?"
Jiang Chong, unlike Liu Qumao, bowed respectfully: "I'm currently investigating, and I already have some clues."
Liu Che nodded: "Say it! Who is disrespectful to me?"
Jiang Chong was silent for a long time, and Liu Che laughed loudly: "It can't be Su Ren. Although this guy is domineering, he will never harm me. If he wants to take action, no one in the world can stop him. Even I can't escape. His
The cruelty has not been used yet."
Liu Qumao was already dripping with cold sweat. He had already heard a problem from the emperor's words, and it was a big problem. Jiang Chong was unmoved: "Your Majesty said, I understand that this matter is not the intention of General Hussar."
Because, it comes from the palace."
"In the palace!" Liu Che was a little surprised by this answer.
"Exactly! Gongsun Jingsheng, the son of former Prime Minister Gongsun He, has been found guilty of witchcraft!" Jiang Chong said unhurriedly: "There is new news in the past few days. Gongsun Jingsheng was very close to Princess Yangshi. He often comes in and out of the princess's residence. Princess Yangshi's consort, Captain Wei Xinfeng, is the queen's distant nephew. He worked as an errand in the general's residence in the past few years, and His Highness the Crown Prince used to be very close to this person."
Liu Che's eyebrows were already knitted, and his chest was heaving: "What do you want to say?"
Jiang Chong kowtowed: "I request your Majesty to order a thorough investigation into this matter!"
After a long time, Liu Che sat in his seat without making a sound. According to Jiang Chong, it was not just Su Ren who opposed him as the emperor. Of course, the emperor still had confidence in Su Ren. , must not have colluded with these people. Jiang Chong's words also prove this. Jiang Chong never mentioned Su Ren from beginning to end. But those people are all his relatives! Gongsun Jingsheng is his nephew, Princess Yangshi. , that is his sister, Wei Xinfeng can also be regarded as his nephew, queen, his wife, and prince! Especially this prince, he is his favorite son.
"How dare you dare to murder Your Majesty!" Mrs. Gou Yi on the side suddenly interjected. This was the first time in history. Even Liu Ruyi turned her head and glanced unconsciously.
Liu Che came back to his senses, glared at Mrs. Gou Yi, and said to Jiang Chong: "Repay me in one month!"
"promise!"
Looking at the backs of Liu Qumao and Jiang Chong going out, Liu Che felt that all the strength in his body had suddenly given out. His eyes were spinning, and he slid down the chair to the ground. His eyes were wide open and his mouth was open for a long time, and he was speechless. Liu Ruyi was speechless for a long time. He rushed to Liu Che's side, turned around and threw Mrs. Gou Yi, who was about to pounce, a long way away. He almost yelled in a roaring voice: "Your Majesty, you are not allowed to approach within ten steps. Anyone who intrudes will be killed without mercy!"
I don't know when, a dozen black figures suddenly emerged from the dark corners and stopped exactly ten steps away from Liu Che's body. They raised their knives and struck out those in the inner circle who had not yet had time to leave. All the people and maids were hacked to death. The smell of blood filled the entire hall.
"You are so brave!" Madam Gou Yi finally got up from the ground, pointed at Liu Ruyi and said angrily: "Your Majesty is sick, what do you want, an old servant? How dare I, Madam, stop me? Come on, take this Get the old dog out of here!"
Liu Ruyi glared at the guards who were trying to rush over, and shouted loudly: "Where is Li Guangli?"
A tall and burly man came in from outside the door and cupped his fists and raised his hands: "I'm here!"
"Do you remember His Majesty's instructions?"
"Remember!"
"Very good!" Liu Ruyi grabbed a golden token on the desk: "The Quan Tai Palace will be closed from now on. If any news comes out, I will ask you!"
"promise!"
After receiving the token, Li Guangli turned around and went out. Soon there was the sound of soldiers gathering to change defenses and even taking action. Mrs. Gou Yi finally understood that the man who was unconscious on the couch had never believed in her. She was here. Not even as good as that old monster who was sleepy all day long. A trace of worry suddenly arose in Mrs. Gou Yi's heart, and then turned into fear.
Princess Yangshi is Liu Che's youngest sister, but she is already in her fifties this year. This princess is a very quiet person, like a transparent person among other members of the royal family. She rarely interacts with people and does not miss luxury. Princess Yangshi The Princess Mansion is built on the bank of Feng River. It is low-key and elegant. It is close to the mountains and rivers. It is like a paradise, far away from the hustle and bustle of Chang'an.
Wei Xinfeng followed Wei Qing into Yulinlang. This person who did not even leave his name in the history books has many memorable brilliance. In the Battle of Mayi, the army led by Wei Qing fought fiercely with the Huns. , almost to the point of annihilation of the entire army. At the most tragic time, Wei Qing had only a hundred cavalry behind him, and Wei Xinfeng was one of them. Precisely because this man was calm and courageous, Wei Qing had always taken good care of him, and step by step he became the leader of Lang Guan. He became a captain and a lieutenant, and later he was appreciated by Liu Che and married his sister to Wei Xinfeng.
From then on, Princess Yangshi and Wei Xinfeng treated each other with respect and love, and they never asked about worldly affairs in the princess's mansion by the Feng River. However, neither the royal family nor the military would turn a blind eye to these two people, precisely because of their It was his indifference that won the admiration of many people. Even Su Ren would come here to sit and speak highly of these two people.
Looking at the closed door of the Princess Mansion, Jiang Chong stopped Liu Qumao from sending people to rush in. He came to the door and lightly knocked the door knocker. The door opened from the inside, and an elderly man came out.
Jiang Chong quickly saluted: "I've seen the consort!"
Wei Xinfeng was not handsome, but his so many years of almost seclusion gave him a feeling of being otherworldly. He looked at the soldiers at the foot of the steps and said lightly: "Is there any order from His Majesty?"
Jiang Chong shook his head. Wei Xinfeng hummed: "What does Lord Tingwei have to say?"
Jiang Chong said: "Gongsun Jingsheng's practice of witchcraft has been found out. I heard that Gongsun Jingsheng often comes to the Prince Consort's Mansion. I want to know the purpose of this person's visit."
Wei Xinfeng said: "Gongsun Jingsheng can be considered my cousin. It is normal for him to come to my house. As for the theory of witchcraft and poison, I don't know. I heard that the prince and Gongsun Jingsheng said something. I am old. My hearing is not good and I couldn’t hear clearly.”
Jiang Chong frowned. Wei Xinfeng took the initiative to mention the prince, which surprised him. Logically speaking, even if there was a relationship, he would try his best to protect him. The prince was the support of the Wei family in the future, so it was a bit confusing to sell the prince with just one mouthful. .
Wei Xinfeng smiled slightly: "Why don't Tingwei go to the Prince's Mansion and ask directly about Gongsun Jingsheng? I and the princess are unfamiliar with the world, so I'm afraid I won't be able to help Lord Tingwei."
Jiang Chong thought for a while and then said: "Since the consort has said something about Gongsun Jingsheng and the prince, may I ask if the consort is willing to bear witness?"
Wei Xinfeng nodded: "This is natural. I will always keep my word in my life. Since I have said it, I dare to admit it."
"Thank you so much, Prince Consort!" Jiang Chong said goodbye, while Wei Xinfeng just stood on the steps, his robe blown up by the wind, with a touch of sadness on his face.
Princess Yangshi turned out from behind the door and stood at the door with Wei Xinfeng. The two old people looked at each other. Princess Yangshi said: "This royal family is indeed not a good place as Su Ren said. I hope this time Get through it safely.”
Wei Xinfeng sighed: "If you escape this time or the next time, sooner or later you will be buried together with yourself."
"Then change it!" Princess Yangshi laughed: "What do you think of Su Ren's idea? The royal family just wants to save face."
Wei Xinfeng shook his head: "Everyone has selfish motives, it's just a matter of more or less! Why did your Majesty do this? Isn't it for his son?"
