Chapter Seventy-One: The Death of the Emperor (Part II)
Chang Gui ran frantically, getting rid of all the little eunuchs who followed him, and when he ran to the gate of Zhengyang Palace, he happened to meet the lotus flower who came out of the palace to find her.
"Lotus!"
Chang Gui took a candle and couldn't find the direction of the lotus flower with tears on his face,
"Lotus, what's going on, what's going on with the emperor."
Chang Gui shook Lotus's shoulders violently, Lotus was already frightened by the emperor's sudden deterioration of her condition, Chang Gui questioned her like this, and she cried even more.
"Lotus, Lotus, don't cry, now is not the time to cry, tell me what happened!"
Chang Gui no longer had the mood and time to worry about Lotus's feelings, and roared loudly at Lotus to wake her up.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty. It was fine, but after drinking the medicine, he suddenly began to foam at the mouth, his face turned blue, his lips turned purple, and now, he has begun to vomit blood. What to do, how to work as a father, the emperor is dying, he is dying. ”
After Lotus finished speaking, she covered her face and squatted down and cried loudly.
"After the medicine?"
Chang Gui let go of his hands, but there were many, many things that got into his brain in one go, and it was messy.
"Could it be that Yan Lan did it? That's why Meng Zhangshi's son was sent to the Tai Hospital as a hostage!? ”
Chang Gui accidentally said what he thought in his heart, and only after glancing at the left and right to make sure that there was no one else did he start thinking again.
"Lotus, why are you here? Why don't you serve inside? ”
It stands to reason that Lotus, as the little palace maid in front of the emperor, must not leave the emperor's side at this time, and even said that she will be accused as a poisoner.
"It was Meng Zhangshi who asked us all to come out, and after I came out, Lord Yanlan asked me to find you."
If that's the case, you can be sure that it's exactly what you guessed. Now, in order to restore the appearance of the emperor to the appearance of a normal disease, the lotus flower is divided, leaving no witnesses.
Chang Gui didn't do anything superfluous, and went directly to Zhengyang Palace.
And how many doctors are there, it seems that the doctors are still 'waiting for news on the way back to the hospital'. There are not many palace people, and even if there are, they are all kneeling far away, only General Yanlan and a few servants of the Yanlan family are standing outside the emperor's bedroom. Chang Gui walked over to salute General Yanlan, but the other party didn't look at him squarely.
"I heard that my sister has trusted her father-in-law very much recently, and she has to hand over her father-in-law to accompany her in big and small affairs. Could it be that because of this, the father-in-law neglected the emperor's illness and aggravated! Expensive! You are convicted. ”
"The slave is guilty."
Chang Gui hurriedly knelt down and admitted his mistake, but he was calm.
"Hmph."
After General Yanlan scolded Chang Gui like this, he stopped paying attention to him, and let Chang Gui kneel like this without saying anything. In his heart, he was disgusted with this eunuch who was loved by the Queen of the Stretching Hand, but because his current task was not to let anyone go to the dormitory, he would talk to Chang Gui.
Chang Gui was not in a hurry, just kneeling like that. He knew that Yan Lan was planning to make him a scapegoat, but he didn't panic, he would definitely be fine when the queen came.
When the queen arrived, what she saw was Chang Gui kneeling at the feet of her beast brother, and he walked forward quickly and slapped him.
Everyone including General Yan Lan was stunned by the queen's move, except for Chang Gui. Chang Gui knew that the queen had endured a lot, if it weren't for the emperor's sake, the queen would definitely kill General Yanlan directly with a knife.
After the queen finished this slap, she completely ignored General Yanlan's surprised face and pulled up from the ground, Chang Gui pushed open the door and entered the emperor's bedroom. I don't know how many people think that the queen is angry for Chang Gui, and even General Yanlan thinks so. After scolding, he gave Xiao Lizi who came from behind the queen a slap, and Xiao Lizi didn't dare to say anything, and he didn't even dare to touch his face, so he wanted Chang Gui to kneel like that just now.
The queen pulled Chang Gui and rushed to the innermost emperor's bed, but stopped and did not step forward. Chang Gui saw Meng Zhangshi panicked and hid the blood-stained silk silk in his clothes, and Lord Yanlan stepped forward to block him.
"Ying'er, what are you doing here?"
"Don't call me that."
Lord Yanlan was frightened by the queen's sudden move, and really didn't dare to speak anymore.
The queen slowly walked to the emperor's bed, and the emperor seemed to notice it in a daze, and opened his eyes with great effort. Seeing the person in front of him, he actually smiled and called in a slurred voice,
"Yan Lan Ying'er."
The queen actually cried out in an instant, and now Lord Yanlan was even more puzzled, approaching the queen,
"What's wrong with you?"
The queen did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically,
"He's going to die in a while."
Lord Yanlan was stunned by the question, but still nodded,
"Hmm."
When Chang Gui heard this, he couldn't wait to go up and beat him, his fists clenched tighter and tighter in his sleeves, and his nails had already pierced into the flesh.
"Then you all go out and say a few words as a husband and wife."
Lord Yan Lan didn't know what to say when she heard this, so she gave Meng Zhangshi a look and prepared to go out.
"Chang Gui, you stay."
Chang Gui stepped aside to make way for Yan Lan and Meng Zhangshi, and both of them gave him a strange look.
When Chang Gui closed the door and came back, the queen was already crying and thinking of a tearful person. The queen knelt in front of the emperor's bed, lowered her head, and kept crying, and the emperor said something in a weak voice.
"Ying'er...... I...... I'm sorry...... You...... There is no ...... Take care of our ...... Child. ”
"I ...... promised...... You...... Want...... The Great Prince...... Prince's. ”
"But...... Ying'er ...... True...... No harm...... He...... Not really. ”
"Your Majesty, the concubines know, Your Majesty, it was Ying'er who was wrong, it was Ying'er who did wrong, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, forgive Ying'er, Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
The queen listened to what the emperor said, and she couldn't cry even more, thinking of what she had done for so many years, she felt sorry for the emperor in her heart, and pounced on the emperor and repented deeply. Chang Gui watched from the side, and also knelt down, crying.
"Ying'er...... My most regretful ...... Yes no...... You misunderstood...... Untie...... No...... At...... You have a baby...... Remain...... I can inherit ...... Throne...... Person. ”
The emperor is really no longer good, his speech is becoming more and more unclear, and his eyes are even more sloppy.
"Your Majesty, it's all Ying'er's fault, it's all Ying'er's fault, Your Majesty. It's Ying'er's fault. ”
"Ying'er...... I...... Please...... Keep the Northern Qi ...... Succession to the Great Unification ...... Right...... Not ......"
After the emperor said this, he swallowed his last breath, and his pupils were completely dilated, but he really didn't blink his eyes.
"Your Majesty! Emperor! ”
The queen let out the loudest hoarse cry, but the emperor would not wake up again.
Everyone outside heard the queen's voice and knew that the emperor was gone, so they knelt down and began to wail and cry. Lord Yan Lan and General Yan Lan also knelt down and pretended to cry.
"It's time to get rid of those people in Gongzhu completely."
"Yes, father."
But the crying was not the sound of such a scheme.
"But father, is my sister's love for that Chang Gui too much, do you want to do it?"
Lord Yanlan frowned and thought for a moment,
"No, it doesn't hurt, besides, your sister can't do without him in her current state."
General Yan Lan twisted his head unconvinced, but he still had such a vicious look.
Before the emperor's sickbed, the queen said what Chang Gui had always wanted to hear,
"The emperor can rest assured, the concubines will not let go of those who hurt our children.
It must also be that Northern Qi will inherit the throne. ”
