Chapter 40: Dagger

As long as the mother concubine does not die, when she ascends the throne as the emperor, the mother concubine will be the queen mother of the world! As long as the mother doesn't die! That's enough.

"Are you going or not going?" Concubine Xian was a little annoyed by Yun Xuan's hesitation. Those who achieve great things must have enough courage, as a man, hesitate in front of big things, and miss the opportunity in an instant. How can a son who has been carefully educated since he was a child, be so courageless!

"Go...... The sons listened to their mothers. Yun Xuan nodded repeatedly.

When Yun Xuan came out of Yilan Palace, his eyes were red and swollen. In order to show authenticity, Concubine Xian even slapped him hard. Then he stared at a pair of red and swollen eyes and cheeks with red handprints and went to Zichen Palace.

Although the emperor can't say everything about what happened in Yilan Palace, Concubine Xian still can't hide the fact that she beat her son. So when Yun Xuan knelt in front of the emperor like this, the emperor was only surprised when Concubine Xian could be so ruthless and beat her son, who had been precious for so many years, like this.

"Father...... Son's capital offense! As soon as Yun Xuan saw the emperor, he cried again.

"Speak well!" The emperor frowned, and a trace of displeasure flashed on his face: "You are a man, crying and crying like a girl, what do you look like!" ”

"Yes......" Yun Xuan wiped a handful of tears with his sleeve, straightened up and glanced at the emperor secretly, and was swept away by the emperor's majestic eyes, he couldn't help but be short again, and choked up: "The son is not filial, he can't share his father's worries for his father, he can't persuade his mother to be right, and he can't cultivate self-discipline to correct himself." The son has only one death, and he asks his father to fulfill ......"

The emperor immediately grasped the key words, frowned and asked, "Can't persuade your mother to return to justice?" What do you mean by that? What is the reason for this slap on your face? ”

Yun Xuan burst into tears before he could speak, choking up and saying that he went to Yilan Palace today to ask his mother for peace, and overheard his mother and the palace maid talking about how to quietly kill Zhongde, who had just been taken away by the Criminal Division, and then secretly did things about his mother because she wanted to take revenge on the queen and use the queen to seek the throne for the fifth prince of the eldest prince, so that her plan was exposed, and he took advantage of the matter of clearing obstacles for his future road and telling the story.

Except for the words that their mother and son hugged and cried in the quiet room today, Yun Xuan basically did not lie. So these things are interlocked, and it's a good ploy.

At first, the emperor leaned on the couch and listened casually, thinking to see what tricks the fourth child could come up with. When he heard half of it, the emperor was shocked and slowly sat up straight.

When Yun Xuan said again that Concubine Xian wanted to kill Zhongde with poison while he was being tortured, the emperor was finally furious! He reached out and picked up a teacup on the small kang table and smashed it towards Yun Xuan's head, and scolded angrily: "Bastard thing! It's crazy! ”

Yun Xuan had already thought that no matter what the emperor did, he couldn't dodge it, and he had to suffer this hard. It's just an old man who is dying, how much strength can he have? Can you still kill yourself all at once? So he knelt there upright and let the hot tea fall on his head.

The thin porcelain tea cup broke the skin at the corner of his forehead, and the hot tea mixed with blood poured over his face, and the pain in his heart was incomparable. At that moment, he even wanted to look up to the sky and smile - the mother concubine had to help herself succeed if she died, what was this little injury and pain?

"The emperor is angry!" Huaien and the two palace maids in the hall knelt on the ground in a panic.

"Message! The virtuous concubine Chen is feminine, treacherous and vicious, murdering and dividing the prince. Such wicked women will not be able to atone for their sins, even if they die! Take away the title first and enter the cold palace! Then order the Criminal Division to strictly interrogate and eliminate the adultery! Order the Criminal Division to wipe out all his fellow parties in order to clear the filth and evil of the harem! ”

"Yes." Huai En hurriedly kowtowed, got up and went to Yilan Palace to deliver the decree.

The emperor looked down at Yun Xu, who was kneeling in front of him with a bloodstained face, and scolded again: "You are not a good thing!" Your mother is not trying to do all the bad things for you? You came to me to complain? Eighty percent felt that the ugly things of your mother and son couldn't be hidden, so you came to me in advance to expose yourself, so as to invite credit, and wanted me to let you go, right?! ”

"Father Emperor Mingjian! Erchen has no such intention. Erchen is now in Yilan Palace to persuade his mother to no avail, so he came to confess to his father, Erchen only wants to die for his mother, and only asks his father to spare his mother's life. Yun Xuan said, and slowly bowed and kowtowed, his forehead slammed on the carpet, touched a piece of broken porcelain, and blurred a blood stain.

In the end, it is his own flesh and blood, the emperor looked down at his son's appearance, and naturally felt bad in his heart. I thought of my twilight years, although I had six sons, but the eldest and the fifth were conspiring against the line, the second died early, and the third was an unpredictable character. The seventh child is still young, and everything is still in ignorance. Only the fourth and sixth children have always been sensible.

Now Concubine Xian has a dirty heart, but she is involved in the appearance of the fourth child, which is really embarrassing for him.

When the emperor thought of this, he sighed helplessly, and scolded again: "You rebel don't get out of the gang, do you want to make me angry to death?!" ”

"Father......" Yun Lu walked forward with two steps on his knees, wanting to intercede for Concubine Xian again.

"Get out!" The emperor angrily raised his foot and kicked the person away.

Yun Xuan slowly closed his eyes, thinking that the play was enough. Seeing the appearance of his father, his heart has softened, and if he continues to entangle, he can only annoy him, and it will no longer be beneficial to major events. So he knelt up straight again, kowtowed respectfully, and couldn't cry: "Erchen...... Retirement. ”

The emperor panted and leaned on the couch, not looking at Yun Xuan who was slowly walking out.

In the middle of the night, Huai En went to Yilan Palace to deliver the decree and came back, and found the emperor leaning on the couch with a pale face, his eyes were red, and his fingers were tightly pinching a string of tourmaline Buddha beads, as if he wanted to crush the heirloom treasure.

"Your Majesty?" Huai En knew that he would definitely be blamed for disturbing the emperor's train of thought at this time, but he still had to ask stubbornly: "The judgment of the Yao Yuan is here, and the time has come for the emperor to diagnose the pulse." ”

"Get out! I'm not sick! With a flick of the emperor's arm, the string of tourmaline Buddha beads slammed into Huai'en's body and then fell to the ground, scattering in every corner of the inner hall.

"The emperor is angry, and the slave should die." Wynne hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Ask for the mercy of the Lord Long Live." ”

"Get out of the way!" The emperor shouted angrily.

"Yes." Wynne didn't dare to say a word, kowtowed and hurried out.

In the side hall, Yao Yanyu was waiting there with Xiangzhi and Wumei. Since Huguang came back, she has been in and out of Zichen Hall every day, and she gets along well with Huai En and Huai En's descendants, so as soon as she sat down, someone quietly revealed to her about Concubine Xian and Yun Xuan.

So Huai En's face hung down after entering the door, and Yao Yanyu was not surprised at all. The emperor tasted and tasted the taste of being calculated by his son and wife, which is simply worse, and it is strange that he can be happy.

"Lord Yao." Huai'en's face was more bitter than that of Coptis chinensis, and he arched his hand towards Yao Yanyu, "The emperor refuses to diagnose the pulse...... Ay! ”

Yao Yanyu hurriedly comforted: "Father-in-law, don't worry. I'll wait a little longer, and the emperor's anger will be dissipated after a while. ”

"Hey! What do you mean by this? The emperor's body is just getting better......" Wynn said, and began to wipe his tears. Eunuchs like them, only the emperor is good, they follow the majesty, if the emperor has any mistakes, they are the first to be unlucky.

"That's what my father-in-law said." Yao Yanyu sighed helplessly, thinking that things had developed to this point, and it seemed that Concubine Xian was going to carry everything. It's just that I don't know if Lu Dao, He Yong and the people from the Criminal Department can find out the cause of the master's death.

"My lord is here first, and the slave has to go to serve by the Lord Banzai." Wynne sighed as he wiped away his tears.

Yao Yanyu hurriedly said: "Father-in-law, please." Father-in-law don't worry, just wait for the anger of the Long Live Lord to disappear. ”

"yes!" Wynne naturally couldn't say more, sighed again and turned to leave.

Yao Yanyu waited slowly while drinking tea in the side hall. Today, the emperor is very angry, and her physical condition will definitely be very poor, so she can't just leave.

But it was said that Yun Yu came out of the Zichen Palace, and slowly walked outside the palace with blood stains on his head and face, and when he reached the Huiji Gate, he saw a team of people from the Punishment Division running in front of him, as if he didn't see him, and went inside.

He knew that these people were going to Yilan Palace, and in less than a quarter of an hour, his mother and concubine would be taken to the palace prison by these people, and they would be interrogated by the people of the Criminal Department and the Suppression Department at the same time.

Is it really worth it?! Yun Xuan looked up at the gloomy sky, opened his mouth, but only felt a sharp pain in his throat, and could not make a sound.

A flash of lightning slipped through the gloomy sky, illuminating the entire palace in a miserable white. Then there was a rolling thunderbolt that slid overhead, and the wind rose in all directions, rolling up countless dust and leaves and rushing into the sky.

"Hahaha......" Yun Qi finally laughed, but the voice was like a crow crossing the border, hoarse than crying, "Come on!" Raging thunder! Lightning! Come on...... Smash it all to pieces...... No one wants to live, no one wants to live well......"

Yun Xuan roared and rushed out of the Huiji Gate while laughing wildly, and the attendants he brought out of the palace in the early years hurriedly took the oil coat and put it on his head, and persuaded: "Your Highness is injured, don't get rain and wind again, you will get tetanus!" ”

"No problem! It's better to be dead......" Yun Lu's hideous smile was flashed by another force, and it was even more terrifying than the evil ghost.

His attendant didn't dare to say more, so he took another oil coat and wrapped the man, bent his waist, picked him up, and hurried away.

The attendant put Yun Qi out of the palace and put him in the carriage, and the ink-colored oil-walled carriage galloped in the rain like crazy, heading straight for the Four Princes' Mansion.

The fourth prince, Yun Xuan, got married at the age of nineteen, and left the palace to live alone. At the beginning, he married the eldest daughter of Liu Ji, the governor of river affairs, and now has a son and a daughter. The eldest son is two years old, and the youngest daughter is only three months old.

After entering the mansion, everyone did not dare to send the four highnesses to the inner house, so they only ordered people to find the imperial doctor.

The imperial doctor who has been in and out of the Four Princes' Mansion these days is a very young guy in the Tai Hospital, surnamed Hua and named Xixuan.

Yes, this little Hua Tuo has grown against the sky after entering the Tai Hospital after passing the exam of the Tai Yi Order, but after only two months of hard work, he is already a five-grade master book.

He was able to rise so quickly, firstly, by virtue of superb medical skills, and naturally there were people behind him.

Speaking of the person who fueled the trouble, it was naturally not Yao Yanyu. Hua Xixuan is like an enemy in the Tai Hospital, so there are those people with ulterior motives to help him soar.

The people from the Four Princes' Mansion went to the Tai Hospital to find the Tai Doctor, and it happened that Hua Xilu was on duty, so he didn't say a word and came to the Four Princes' Mansion with the medicine box on his back.

The sky was as black as ink, lightning rolled over the clouds like a silver snake, thunder roared and shook the earth, and torrential rain poured down on the layers of the four princes' mansions.

At this time, Yun Yu had fallen into a high-fever coma, and his head was smashed and fell second, mainly because the wound was blown and rained before it was treated, coupled with the incomparable torment in his heart. is so coerced internally and externally, it looks like he is half-dead now.

Hua Xixuan's medical skills are naturally not blown. He first treated Yun Xu's wounds, and then used a silver needle to remove the dampness and evil qi for him. After that, another dose of divergent decoction was prescribed. After pouring a bowl of soup and medicine, Yun Xuan sweated all over his body after a while, and gradually woke up.

As a imperial doctor, Hua Xixuan, who was very responsible, waited for Yun Xuan to diagnose his pulse after he woke up, administered an injection again, and adjusted the prescription, telling the people who served him when to give medicine to His Highness again, what matters should be paid attention to, etc.

After explaining one by one, the heavy rain outside also stopped. Hua Xixuan got up with the medicine box on his back to say goodbye, and the housekeeper in the house politely sent the person out.

Walking to the second gate, Hua Xiyan saw an orange lantern swaying, illuminating the three-foot land next to the bamboo on the side. A carriage stopped there, and a handsome young man in front of the carriage lifted the curtain, and a handsome young man got out of the car. The housekeeper who sent him out was stunned for a moment, and then urged Hua Xixuan: "There is Master Lao, please go slowly." ”

Hua Xixuan also said goodbye casually, and strode away with the medicine box on his back.

But he said that over there in the Fourth Prince's Mansion, the housekeeper sent Hua Xifang away and hurriedly greeted him, bowed to the young man, lowered his voice and asked, "Why did the prince come in person?" ”

The person who came was none other than Yun Shen, the son of the king.

King Jin is the fifth son of the first emperor, the current emperor is the third, and the prince is seven. The first emperor had eight sons and eleven daughters, but not many survived. And after the emperor succeeded to the throne, he also carried out a thorough investigation or purge of those brothers, and now there are only three old brothers: the emperor, King Jin, and King Cheng.

Yun Shen's two handsome eyebrows were twisted, and he said anxiously and irritably: "I'll take a look at the fourth child, is that person the imperial doctor just now?" How is the fourth child now?! ”

"Your Highness is all right." The housekeeper didn't dare to say much, but it could be seen from his expression that he was very disapproving of the visit of King Jin Shizi in person.

Obviously, Yun Shen didn't have time to pay attention to him, and strode directly into the door to see Yun Shen.

In the inner room of the front study, all the servants were dismissed, and the two brothers, Yun Xuan and Yun Shen, sat and lay down, relatively speechless for a long time.

In the end, Yun Shen spoke first, and asked in a dissatisfied low voice, "Fourth, what's going on?" How could Concubine Xian Niangniang be taken away by the people of the Criminal Division? This is completely inconsistent with our plans! ”

Yun Xuan smiled mockingly, looked up at the carved beams on the roof, and sighed helplessly: "The mother concubine made this decision for our big business...... I hate my dignified seven-foot man, but I can't even protect my mother, even if I can get a big treasure in the future, what kind of face will I have to face the world? ”

Yun Shen was stunned for a moment, then slowly came to his senses, stretched out his hand to hold Yun Shen's hand, and persuaded in a low voice: "Niangniang is righteous and awe-inspiring, and she is willing to go to the soup for the great cause." This is a strange woman who is rarely seen in the ages. Besides, the Criminal Division also has our people, and we will find a way to keep the mother in the future. ”

"That's all there is to it!" Yun Xuan burst into tears, and slowly got up and arched his hand towards Yun Shen: "My heart is like being crumbled, and I don't have an idea at all." The affairs of the past few days are all up to my uncle and brother! ”

Yun Shen stretched out his hand to hold Yun Shen's hand and persuaded, "Don't worry." We have long made a vow to work together! It's not suitable for you to go out these days, so keep it at home. The affairs of the palace are the affairs of my father, the king. ”

"Just ask my uncle to worry about it."

……

In Zichen Palace, Yao Yanyu waited in the side hall for two hours, and saw that a rainstorm had stopped, and the emperor did not announce that she went in to diagnose her pulse. Seeing that it was getting late, and the palace gate would be closed if he didn't leave, Yao Yanyu frowned and instructed Xiangzhi: "It seems that the emperor is fine, clean up, let's prepare to go back." ”

As soon as Xiang Zhi agreed, he heard a chaotic footsteps outside, and then Sanshun anxiously broke in: "Lord Yao! Fast! The emperor fainted! ”

"Quick!" Yao Yanyu's expression was dazed, and he instructed Xiangzhi: "Take the good things and come with me." ”

None of the people dared to slack off, and hurriedly followed Sanshun into the Zichen Palace.

The emperor was in a hurry at first, relying on a wave of anger and not falling, and then struggled to lie there in the heavy rain, but recalled the past events over the years one by one. After that, the anger was a little gone, and suddenly someone sent a message, saying that the prince of the prince was in a hurry to visit the four princes.

As soon as he heard the news, the emperor was instantly furious, and when he wanted to get up, he suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood and fainted.

Yao Yanyu naturally tried his best to rescue, and the Taiyi Divine Needle was used without reservation, and the powerful and long internal breath was continuously injected into the emperor's body. However, with a stick of incense, the emperor woke up slowly, and at the same time spit out a mouthful of blood, which scared Huaien and others half to death.

At this time, the concubine, who was six months pregnant, had already heard the news and rushed over, and when she saw the emperor's gray face, she couldn't help but cry quietly.

The emperor opened his eyes and saw Su Concubine with a stomach, and his mood was very complicated for a while, and he slowly stretched out his hand towards Su Concubine before he could speak. Su Concubine knelt in front of the couch crying, held the emperor's hand and choked up: "Your Majesty! You can scare the concubine to death......"

The emperor's withered fingers rubbed gently on Su Concubine's delicate cheeks, and he sighed faintly for a while, shaking his head slightly.

Yao Yanyu asked Sanshun to bring a glass of warm boiled water, then took out a pill from his medicine box, divided it into two, and handed it to Huai'en. Huaien first put half of it in his mouth, chewed it slowly and swallowed it, and waited for another quarter of an hour before feeding the other half of the pill to the emperor.

After Yao Yanyu's acupuncture and heart-saving pills, coupled with the advice of the pregnant concubine, the emperor's mood calmed down a lot and his condition was controlled.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, Yao Yan looked at the emperor's situation, and did not dare to say the words of the palace, so Huai En discussed with Su Concubine to clean up a bed in the small ear room on the side of the side of the Zichen Palace, and Su Concubine asked someone to bring new bedding and other bedding from her palace, and asked Yao Yuan to temporarily settle down in the palace.

The palace is upside down, and the news must be uncontrollable.

The first to get the news was the Cheng Wangfu, Jin Linwei was responsible for the protection of the palace, and the things around the emperor naturally couldn't hide from their father and son. At that time, Yun Kun persuaded Prince Cheng to hurry into the palace to visit the emperor.

Prince Cheng shook his head and refused, in the eyes of Prince Cheng, this matter is a matter between the emperor and the concubine, and it is not good for him to be a brother. Besides, entering the palace without obeying the edict at such a time is obviously suspected of watching the palace.

Prince Cheng is loyal to the emperor, but he has not forgotten that his dear third brother is the Ninety-Five. If he only treats him as an ordinary brother, then death is not far away.

In addition, Wei Zhang, who was always paying attention to the movements in the palace because of Yao Yanyu, also got the news later, and when Yao Yanyu was treating the emperor, he also got another piece of news - the prince went to visit the four princes.

Of course, it is very normal for the children of the royal family to have contacts with each other, Yun Shen and Yun Xuan are cousins, and there is nothing to find fault with the two of them when they get along with each other on weekdays. But today, Concubine Xian was abolished, imprisoned in the palace prison, Yun Xuan was smashed on the head by the emperor with a tea cup, and when she was in a coma with high fever, Yun Shen quietly came to visit in civilian clothes, and the reason is really thought-provoking.

Wei Zhang had not yet reached a conclusion on this matter, and Shen Jiang, who followed Yao Yanyu into the palace, hurriedly sent the news back: "Back to the general, because the emperor's illness cannot be underestimated, the lady does not dare to leave the Zichen Palace, and the concubine has arranged for the lady to stay in the palace." ”

Hearing this, Wei Zhang's fists couldn't help but clench, and he frowned and asked, "Do you know where Mrs. Lu Dao is?" ”

Shen Jiang hurriedly said: "The slave did not enter the palace gate, only waited in the carriage outside, and the person who sent the message inside was the concubine Niangniang, and did not say where the lady was staying." ”

When Wei Zhang heard this, he sighed in frustration, and his fist couldn't help but hit the table.

Seeing this, He Xi, who had been sitting next to him without speaking because he had come to discuss military affairs, hurriedly asked, "The general is worried about the instability in the palace?" ”

"At such a time, how can it be stable?" Wei Zhang's brows were tightly locked, and anyone with a clear eye knew that it was time for the fish to die and the net was broken, and Yao Yanyu was in danger of the emperor's safety, and for some people, it was a thorn in the flesh.

He Xi hurriedly suggested: "General, it's better to ask Prince Cheng for a favor." ”

Wei Zhang sneered: "It's true that Jin Linwei is in charge of the protection of the palace, but don't forget that people have been operating in the palace for twenty years. It's not easy to buy a few people? ”

"The general has a point." He Xi sighed silently, and there was nothing he could do for a while.

------Off topic------

Dear drops, it's really hot, it's hot!

Da Zhuzhu is trapped in the furnace code words, saying that sweating like rain is nothing more than ah!

In other words, I'm like this, can my monthly pass be generous?
