Thunder struck a corner of the hall, causing the tiles to buzz.
Not only that, but several thunderbolts struck the palace in succession.
Click——Boom——
The thunder was rolling, shaking the earth, and the thunder fire ignited a corner of the purple curtain.
"Quickly put out the fire——"
There were countless screams all around, and the serving eunuchs rushed forward, only to see the emperor motionless on the royal couch. Looking closer, he saw a ferocious expression and an ashen complexion.
"His Majesty!"
The accompanying eunuch Zhao Bingzhong immediately scolded him categorically.
"Why are you panicking? Stand still!"
"Silence!" Zhao Bingzhong scolded the eunuchs, and skillfully helped the emperor up. When he saw the emperor clenching his teeth, he immediately knew what was going on.
"Your Majesty is suffering from an old habit!"
"Look at how decent you are with your yelling!"
"Bring the soup quickly!"
His calm look quickly restored order in the palace.
Several young eunuchs were holding medicine boxes. Zhao Bingzhong looked at them for a few times and picked out a porcelain bottle.
It says "raw dew drink" on it.
When you open the beeswax seal, a fresh aroma suddenly fills the air.
Smell it gently, and the breath will flow along the mouth, nose and lower belly, permeating the chest and abdomen, gently wiping the internal organs, bringing a faint sense of vitality.
It is indeed the Taoist secret medicine.
After the emperor drank a full bottle, his pale complexion actually returned to a bit of rosiness, but he still didn't wake up.
Symptoms get worse!
Zhao Bingzhong's heart pounded, and his hands and feet broke into a cold sweat.
Aren't you going to die?
King Qi, he is still outside the palace city!
If the emperor dies, King Qi will ascend the throne. There will be no leaks. When the time comes, he will find out that he has colluded with the grandson, fearing that the nine clans will be implicated immediately.
At this time, the emperor cannot die.
"Xiao Dezi, Xiaozhu, go to the Imperial Medical Office quickly and ask for Imperial Doctor Zhao! Remember to bring the Heavenly Immortal Drink!"
The two eunuchs rushed out immediately!
"Also, you three, go inform the Queen!"
"yes!"
This treatment is still appropriate.
In the Forbidden Palace, if the emperor suddenly becomes unable to handle matters, he must notify the queen.
Otherwise, who should be notified?
Should Concubine Wu be notified?
It’s true that Concubine Wu is favored, but she is only a princess! She usually just pays back, so how could it be her turn now?
The other concubines? The same goes for them. Most of them don’t have adult princes, so they are useless at this time!
As for the adult princes, the King of Qi rebelled, the King of Shu was banned, and the mother-in-law of Ninghe County Prince "died violently"!
Only the Empress, who is the legitimate master of the harem, and with His Highness the Grandson here, can best stabilize the chaos.
"But, has the Queen rested?"
While hesitating, the emperor opened his eyes and looked pale.
"Feng Bao, where is Feng Bao?"
"Your Majesty, Feng Daban has already left." Zhao Bingzhong bowed deeply and responded respectfully, but felt a chill in his heart.
Not many people remember the name Feng Bao now, but Zhao Bingzhong knows it.
This man participated in the death of the prince and was sentenced to death not long after. After his death, a treasure chest of 700 taels of silver was found.
"Yeah?"
The palace was magnificent and the lamps were shining brightly. Looking at the palace, the emperor suddenly woke up, but his heart felt a little empty. A figure suddenly appeared clearly in his heart.
His heart trembled.
Weird, why did you dream of the prince again?
The emotions are agitated and difficult to calm down, and the filial piety of father and son in the past is always lingering.
"Hey, I don't know how he is doing now..." The emperor murmured, and Zhao Bingzhong, who was close by, listened, but did not dare to make any reply.
How about the prince...don't you know this very well?
Zhao Bingzhong sighed in his heart.
However, the thunder just now was too fierce, and it almost overturned the whole hall.
How ominous!
"wrong!"
Just as he was thinking about it, the emperor suddenly stood up, pushed Zhao Bingzhong away, put on his shoes with trembling legs and walked a few steps to the entrance of the palace!
Looking around, I saw the rain falling from the sky, the palace near and far was in chaos, and further away, the sound of fighting was still faintly heard.
"Your Majesty, there is wind and rain at the palace gate, and the dragon body..."
The emperor seemed unaware, waved his hand to stop it, and asked sternly: "How is the situation?"
His voice was fierce. Zhao Bingzhong didn't know why, but he was panicked. He knelt down quickly and said, "Your Majesty, you only took a nap. In less than a moment, King Qi is still attacking the palace gate!"
"But Hu Huaian resisted desperately and his supervision was effective, so there is no danger. However, King Qin's army has gathered together and is fighting for Yunlong Gate!"
"Your Majesty, don't worry!"
This sounds indeed true. As soon as the emperor made a mental calculation, he immediately knew that King Qi's defeat was certain, and the Shen Ce army was also a turtle in the urn.
"You can eliminate all the troubles in your heart at once!"
However, even if he thought like this, everything was under control and there was no doubt, the emperor was still uneasy. He walked a few steps with red eyes and stared into the distance.
Zhao Bingzhong bravely looked around and saw that the emperor looked dazed, but his face was slightly flushed: "Your Majesty, maybe you are frightened... It's late at night, and you have to deal with big things tomorrow, so you'd better rest!"
"No, there must be something wrong!" The emperor suddenly turned around and his voice became urgent and even sharp without realizing it.
"Go immediately to supervise and see where King Qin's guards are now."
"Also, where is the Imperial City Siti Cavalry? Are you moving?" At this point, the emperor's face suddenly became very gloomy and terrifying.
"I remembered that the King of Qi rebelled. Why didn't Ma Shunde report it?"
"Everyone else is here, why isn't he?"
The more he thought about it, the more wrong he became. The emperor paced back and forth hurriedly, his face flushed, and his voice shook the hall.
This is the emperor. You don't trust him, so you didn't inform him.
Zhao Bingzhong thought to himself and was secretly surprised that despite this, the major event of King Qi's rebellion had happened. Ma Shunde should have known about it even without notifying him.
Why not enter the palace?
Immediately he kowtowed: "It may be a rainy night, I don't know. I will inform you immediately."
But the emperor had already waved his hand: "It's too late, he is so slow, how can he serve as the Imperial City Department? You follow my order and take over the Imperial City Department immediately!"
"Also, take this slave to prison and hold him accountable!"
"yes!"
In an instant, Zhao Bingzhong knew that Ma Shunde was completely finished.
The emperor had a decree, and the eunuchs who were waiting on him immediately worked silently. The eunuch who wrote the decree was known for his quick writing and quick work. When the emperor said it, he was already writing the manuscript. At this moment, he could only count a few words with one stroke, and in an instant That's it.
The emperor took a quick look, sealed the seal, and said impatiently: "Go quickly!"
"Yes!" Zhao Bingzhong knelt down to accept the decree, and went out of the palace. When he reached the corridor, he was already greeted by eunuchs. They all looked happy and saluted together: "Meet the Governor!"
Zhao Bingzhong glanced around and saw that most of these were actually his old subordinates.
He has been in charge of the Imperial City Division for 10 years, and his authority is actually deeply rooted. There is no need to mobilize at this time, so he directly ordered: "Huang Su, your Majesty has an order to lock Ma Shunde, you go immediately!"
"Jizongbu, take the token and take over the imperial city Sitiqi immediately!"
"Also, Deng Huan, you are inspecting all the palace gates, so please cooperate!" When he mentioned the word cooperation, Zhao Bingzhong took a slightly heavier tone.
"Yes!" Those whose names were called, especially Deng Huan, nodded emphatically.
