Chapter 86: Confusing the Emperor
"Queen Mother, the old slave has been serving by His Majesty's side for a long time, and I discovered some visions earlier." Xu Tingfu licked his dry lips and continued to whisper: "Your Majesty seems to have a stubborn disease, and every time he has an attack, he will be flustered and short of breath, with beads of sweat and bloodless face. And every time the old slave went to call the imperial doctor, and turned his face, His Majesty returned to normal, as if he had taken an elixir. After a few times, His Majesty no longer let the old slave go to the Imperial Doctor, but instead separated everyone, and no one was allowed to come closer. ”
"Is that so?" Empress Xiao tried to recall the time when she was with the emperor and see if she could think of some clues. It's just that there are not as many opportunities to meet as these minions, and they didn't even notice it at all, and Yang Guang's body seems to have been very good, and he was still fierce last night.
Uh, thinking of last night's incident again, Queen Xiao's pretty face blushed slightly, leading to the topic: "Since you know that something is wrong, why didn't you come to the palace earlier?" ”
Although the old slave is suspicious, he has been suffering from no evidence. I also asked the imperial doctor in private, but everyone said that His Majesty's Holy Communion was safe, and there was nothing wrong with it, and after several times, the old slave also thought that he was too careful, so he neglected the matter. And this time I went to Yanmen, at the critical moment, the old slave found some clues, and since then I have been worried, day and night. Xu Tingfu said exaggeratedly.
"Let's talk about it together!"
"Yes!" Xu Tingfu nodded resignedly, and said: "On the day of the arrival of Yanmen, Your Majesty came to be interested, even if he inspected Yanmen, he was tired unconsciously, and seemed to be a little unwell, but it was just a blink of an eye, Yuan Ziyan came over, and His Majesty immediately came alive, and walked for an hour or two with great interest before returning to the official residence to rest, and he didn't see any sickness. ”
Oh? Empress Xiao's brows furrowed, Xu Tingfu would never dare to deceive himself at this juncture, give him a hundred guts, and he would not dare to make a fuss about the Holy Communion Antai. But then again, if Your Majesty is really sick, why don't you say it and don't seek treatment from the imperial doctor? By the way, the imperial doctor asks His Majesty for peace every day, hasn't he noticed anything unusual?
"Go on!"
Later, Daizhou was in a hurry, His Majesty suddenly fainted, and the ministers were all in a mess, and the imperial doctors and local famous doctors brought by the palace were all present. And when Yuan Ziyan arrived, and between the lightning and flint, His Majesty woke up and turned around, no different from before! Xu Tingfu looked a little excited, bowed down and said: "The old slave is half a hundred years old, that Yuan Ziyan is a woman in the flower season, it stands to reason that the old slave should not have too much to do with her, and should take care of it more. ”
"You've said so much, but there is conclusive evidence?" Empress Xiao asked coldly.
"Only this veil, the old slave saw it really at that time, and it was His Majesty who sniffed this veil a few times, and immediately recovered his spirits. The old slave took advantage of the chaos and risked death to collect it, just to inform the mother and protect the saint! Xu Tingfu took out the half-old handkerchief from his arms very sensationally, although he cherished it on weekdays, but it was bumpy all the way, and he didn't dare to wash it, so the handkerchief was inevitably dirty.
It was Yuan Ziyan who sprinkled the veil of medicinal powder at that time, which was used for emergency relief. At that time, the incident happened suddenly, and Yuan Ziyan had no choice but to use the cover of his body to hurriedly hand it under Yang Guang's nose, not wanting to be looked at by the attentive Xu Tingfu.
After that, Yuan Ziyan searched for the handkerchief, but there was no trace, and asked all the people present, saying that they had never seen it, and they forgot about it over time, but they didn't want to be grabbed by Xu Tingfu, and it was already presented to the queen at this time.
Xu Tingfu put the veil on a plate first, and then brought it to Queen Xiao. Empress Xiao came closer, and a strong sour smell came, which made her want to vomit, but it was not difficult to smell the smell of ambergris, which was a spice that no one was qualified to use except His Majesty.
And then there's a very peculiar aroma, much like, musk? Empress Xiao didn't care about the pungent smell, put the handkerchief on her hand, looked closer, and clearly saw that there was still some white powder on it, picked off a little with her fingernails, and looked at it carefully for a long time, although she didn't know what it was, she could already conclude that this was definitely not an ordinary thing.
Empress Xiao was taken aback, and called Xinlian again and asked her to put the veil away. Empress Xiao was moved by Xu Tingfu's so-called loyalty, and immediately declared that he was innocent and could return to His Majesty on an errand, and she would explain the reason to His Majesty.
Xu Tingfu was grateful to Dade, wiped his tears and cried out, and as soon as he walked out of the gate of Yong'an Palace, his waist immediately straightened again. The palace people passing by, including ministers with low official positions, saw that Xu Tingfu was emaciated and embarrassed, but looking at his expression, they knew that he had been reinstated, and they all bowed their hands to him with interest, and they were extremely flattering.
Oh, it's better to be powerful and powerful, just experience life in prison, this is the life of a person. Hmph, Yuan Ziyan, these things you let the old man experience, I will definitely let you taste it tenfold and hundredfold in the future!
Xu Tingfu thought hatefully, and then went to bathe and change clothes, intending to appear in front of His Majesty with a temporary new attitude, as well as Yuan Ziyan.
Besides, Empress Xiao, since Xu Tingfu left, she has been uneasy, this Yuan Ziyan's bottom line, she also sent someone to investigate, it is nothing more than the daughter of the great master Yuan Tiangang, and has no other background.
The father and daughter didn't have much to do with His Majesty before entering the palace, why did a series of things happen after entering the palace? Or is it that Yuan Ziyan also learned some witchcraft and magic techniques from his father to confuse the emperor?
Empress Xiao only felt frightened for a while, and felt more and more that Yuan Ziyan was too terrifying, so she immediately kicked a pair of shoes on her feet far away, lest she be cursed and persecuted.
Xinlian, who happened to come in, didn't know what was going on, and saw that Empress Xiao was sulking, and the pair of shoes that she liked very much were also thrown on the ground, so she knew that Yuan Ziyan must have stabbed the basket again and was sued by Xu Tingfu.
Xinlian felt a little relieved, and now she didn't have to worry that Yuan Ziyan would take away her position in the queen's heart, so she pretended to bend down carelessly and picked it up, and asked, "Niangniang, but the shoes don't fit?" ”
"Burn it, burn it immediately!" Empress Xiao was so disgusted that she gave an order, but Xinlian didn't dare to disobey it, so she hurriedly complied and threw the shoes that created the history of the Sui Dynasty into the furnace, and soon turned into ashes.
After that, Empress Xiao called a few imperial doctors, and under coercion and temptation, several people in charge of the emperor's holy body said roughly the same, Your Majesty is in good health, and the reason why there is occasional fainting is also because of too much nervousness and fatigue, or it is related to age, as long as you take more care, you can be safe and worry-free.
Empress Xiao nodded reassuringly, and asked again, when the Daizhou Mansion was in the mansion, His Majesty fainted, and the group of doctors were helpless, but after Yuan Ziyan arrived, His Majesty quickly came to his senses?
Several imperial doctors looked at each other, and two of them were also present at the time, indicating that it was indeed the case. But this doesn't mean anything, people's physiques are different, the awakening process is fast and slow, Your Majesty is in the prime of life, and it is normal to wake up faster.
Seeing that several imperial doctors looked calm, Empress Xiao forgave them and didn't lie, so she asked them to step down. Now that he learned that His Majesty was in good health, Yuan Ziyan became more and more suspicious.
If there is turmoil today, and all kinds of rebels are ready to move, if Yuan Tiangang is bewitched by anyone, and then sends his daughter to the palace and tries to kill the king and seize the throne, then ......
Empress Xiao didn't dare to think about it anymore, so she left a confidant imperial doctor and handed him the square handkerchief, asking him to study what the white powder on it was. The imperial doctor was ordered to retreat, but Empress Xiao was restless, looking forward to His Majesty still coming to her Yong'an Palace at night.
In fact, Empress Xiao is still a woman after all, she is too emotional when she encounters things, and she likes to connect around her fantasies, which makes the relationship with Yuan Ziyan who has just begun to ease tension again, until it is out of control.
At this time, Yuan Ziyan kept sneezing, couldn't help rubbing his nose, and frowned: "Which one with a long tongue is muttering about me behind my back?" ”
Just thinking about it, suddenly a familiar figure walked towards him, Yuan Ziyan thought that he had seen it wrong, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and found that it was an old acquaintance, an old opponent, Xu Tingfu!
Hey, wasn't he locked up? Why, after a night's work, it was released? And Xu Tingfu is glamorous, he should be back on duty again, and he is really creative and can come out of death row.
Yuan Ziyan inevitably wanted to be crooked, because Yang Guang and the queen were together yesterday, and only Empress Xiao had the ability to release Xu Tingfu, a murder suspect.
Cut, it's really incomprehensible, I don't know if Queen Xiao is really big-minded and brainless, and she doesn't think about her husband's safety at all, so she easily let out this old thing that causes trouble everywhere.
"Yo, Purple Smoke Girl, I haven't seen you for many days, and it adds to your style, is it possible that you have been blessed by Your Majesty?" Xu Tingfu did not leave the bank in three sentences, and Yuan Ziyan felt disgusted.
"What's the matter, the grievances have been redressed? I have to congratulate you, Grandpa Xu. Yuan Ziyan said lazily.
"How can you say that you are wronged? I am innocent, and God has its own justice. Xu Tingfu changed his cold face and said almost cursed: "And those who kill people will be punished by heaven, and they will not die well!" ”
Yuan Ziyan only felt a chill in his back, Xu Tingfu's face looked really hideous at this time, as if he hated the person who killed the princess, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "Xu Tingfu, do you dare to say that you didn't kill the princess?" ”
"I dare to swear to heaven that if the princess is harmed by me, I will not die a good death!" Xu Tingfu swore and raised three fingers aloft and said.
This oath sounds quite true, but Xu Tingfu is not a good death, and it is recorded in the wild history, so is this oath still credible? Yuan Ziyan was really confused, if it wasn't killed by Xu Tingfu, then who did the princess die at?
