Chapter 165: Emperors will also make mistakes

"There's Aunt Lao Xuemei!"

Liu Rumo saw the Qingdi and was about to salute, when a figure flashed in front of him, subconsciously took a step back, and saw clearly that the person in front of him was Qingyuan.

The surprise in his eyes when he saw Liu Rumo was so strong that the Qing Emperor sitting on the throne couldn't stand it, and couldn't help coughing lightly: "Xuemei, take the third prince down!" ”

Aunt Xuemei took the order, stepped forward and separated Liu Rumo and Qingyuan, raised her head to meet Qingyuan's attention, "Third prince, please come with the slave!" He stretched out his hand to lead Qingyuan away.

The fire in Qingyuan's eyes was extinguished in an instant, and he felt the gaze from his father behind him, knowing that his reaction was overdone, so he had to nod and look away and follow Aunt Xuemei out.

The Qing Emperor and Liu Rumo were left in the main hall again, and the silent atmosphere did not last long, and the Qing Emperor went straight to the point and said: "How are the preparations for the heaven sacrifice ceremony?" ”

He would ask this, that is, he planned to put the matter of Lichu on the table.

"Your Majesty, the costumes and ceremonial guards for the worship ceremony have been arranged, and the Zongmiao still needs you to order the dark guard battalion to allocate some manpower to prepare, and there is no problem on the minister's side!"

Liu Rumo reported the progress of the preparations, and had a lot of thoughts in his heart, in fact, this moment is not suitable for the establishment of the reserve, not to mention that the timing is not right, the Su family was suppressed, and the Qing Emperor wants to support Qingyuan to ascend to the throne at this time, and the situation may cause unnecessary chaos.

Thinking like this, Liu Rumo also truthfully stated his opinion, but the Qing Emperor was determined to hurry up and set up a reserve, and he couldn't dissuade him, so Liu Rumo didn't say it anymore.

"National Teacher, do you know why I have to rush to sacrifice to the heavens?"

There was a bit of fatigue in the words of the Qing Emperor, and the blue and black eye sockets were deeply sunken. He looked a little tired and old.

Seeing that Liu Rumo just looked at him and didn't answer his question, Emperor Qing still rolled up his sleeves, revealing half of his arm on the armrest of the throne. "Come here and ask me for a pulse!"

"Yes!" Liu Rumo bowed and walked to the throne to stand still. Reaching out and pressing his fingers against his wrist, the weak pulses passed along the fingertips to Liu Rumo's mind, causing her eyes to widen in disbelief for a moment.

"Your Majesty, please move your other hand too!"

The Qing Emperor turned his body according to his words, and put a different hand on the armrest, Liu Rumo pressed his fingertips on his wrist again, this time waiting for a while, and finally slowly withdrew his hand.

"The emperor's heart is exhausted. Weakness and shortness of breath are signs of poisoning. ”

She said word by word, speaking extremely slowly, as the voice came out, the expression on her face became more and more heavy, more than half a month ago when the Qingdi asked her to diagnose his pulse, he also used the internal force to change the pulse to test her, at that time the Qingdi was powerful, his eyes were engraved, although he claimed that he was sick with a dragon body. The doctors were all cooperating, but at least she was sure that there was nothing wrong with him.

However, this time is different

The pulse of the Blue Emperor was beating unusually. Sometimes sluggish, sometimes short, his eye sockets are sunken extraordinarily obviously, she stands close, just look closely to be able to distinguish clearly, this time the blue and black under the eyes of the Blue Emperor is not deliberate, but really physical signs.

"Your Majesty, forgive the ministers, for the time being, I can't be sure what kind of poison it is!"

The Blue Emperor withdrew his arm. Shake off the sleeves and take a deep breath. Panting and saying, "No need! ”

The Blue Emperor said these three words very slowly, and Liu Rumo knew what they meant. Silently lowered his long eyelashes, waiting for the Qing Emperor to continue.

"Su is dead."

The queen is dead?

Liu Rumo listened quietly to Emperor Qing's words, the moment the Su family fell, I am afraid that most of the heart is already dead, the emperor she once loved, gave her love to another woman, and now she gave the crown prince position that should have been given to her son to that woman's son, in just over ten days, she has changed from the most noble woman in the harem to an abandoned woman in the cold palace, her son is not angry, her brother is about to confess his guilt, and her last backer has collapsed, and living for her may be just another torture.

"She put a poisonous Gu in my body, when she is alive, the poisonous Gu will not have any effect, but as long as she dies, the poisonous Gu will attack, the funny thing is that this poisonous Gu was given to her by me back then, and now it can be regarded as self-inflicted, right?"

The secret of the emperor once again let Liu Rumo know at this moment that the horror of the deep palace lies in the hearts of the people, and the Su family should love the Qing Emperor, otherwise he would not have been so ruined that he and the Qing Emperor would have been poisoned by Gu, which would have involved the lives of two people.

Her approach Liu Rumo knew when she thought about it, one of them was that when her life was threatened, she could save her life through the connection of the poisonous Gu and then make plans, and the second was her dedication to the Qingdi, even if this man had no feelings for her for a long time, she still wanted to use the poisonous Gu to realize her wish to live and die together.

"Emperor" Liu Rumo inexplicably felt the pathos emanating from the Qingdi, Su Shi died, he was very sad? It seems that in the unknown place in the heart of the Qing Emperor, there is still a space for the Su family, but when the Su family was alive, he never realized it.

"I have never cared about women's thoughts, I only believe in myself in this life, but in the end I find out that I am wrong!" Where to start with this, Liu Rumo was very puzzled.

Emperor Qing's headache was splitting, and his mind was full of what Su looked like before he died, like Concubine Ning died back then, with large patches of bright and dazzling red flowers on the ground, and clusters blooming on his clothes, just closing his eyes seemed to be able to smell the bloody breath on the tip of his nose.

"Her poisonous Gu has always been there, but she has never explained a word to me over the years, allowing me to resent, hate, and hate her"

The poisonous Gu was taken over by Emperor Qing from the first emperor back then, a total of two, a double Gu, after the two of them took it, the twins died twice, he kept one for himself, and gave her one when he married the Su family, that was the promise he gave to the concubine Su as the crown prince at the beginning, and he will never live up to it in this life.

God always likes to joke, as the first emperor gets old, the suspicion becomes more and more serious, and the court and harem are thus caught in an atmosphere of tension and anxiety and fear, his one is ordered by the first emperor to obey, she has always thought that her one is good to keep, but Concubine Ning's appearance when she died, it was clearly the same as the attack of poison Gu, he was suspicious at that time, on the one hand, he lost the love in his heart, he was sad, and he was really tired of continuing to pursue the facts that made him sad, On the other hand, she couldn't bear to see Su Shi kill two lives with that Gu for herself.

To this day, his poisonous Gu attacked, and the pain was like an ant eroding his muscles, bones, skin, and every nerve, while he experienced the taste of poisonous Gu, he also understood that Su's poisonous Gu had always been there, and Concubine Ning was not harmed by Su's family.

After he took the poisonous Gu back then, the Su clan snatched another Gu to accompany him to take it, showing his determination to accompany him to life and death, the two of them have been safe for many years, and the poisonous Gu is also sleeping quietly, and he doesn't notice any unusual discomfort at all.

Until the news came from the cold palace that Su Shi died, he suppressed his blood pressure in his chest, and the whole person was in unbearable pain, and a brocade box sent by Qinglin aggravated his discomfort. In the brocade box are some of Su's things, the bottom layer, the sleek wax pill wrapped in Jinpa is presented to him intact, it is Su's poisonous Gu that has not been activated, she gave him her life, but he designed step by step to take all of her, including life.

"Your Majesty, please mourn!" In addition, Liu Rumo really didn't know what to say to comfort the sad emperor in front of him.

Was it the same for Ning Yuan back then, after wrongly ordering her to die for Liu Ruxue, with a heart full of repentance, he killed all the people who could or were involved, and finally died silently where they met.

Are men like this, they can't give all the love and trust when they have it, and when they find out that they are wrong, they will repent but can't make up for anything

"Your Majesty, do you still plan to make the third prince the prince?"

Looking at his appearance, he is not without feelings for the Su family, since these past have become misunderstandings now, will the Qing Emperor insist on letting Qingyuan inherit the unification. She needed to check with him again.

"I'm tired, you go and prepare, it's still the third prince Qingyuan who sacrifices to the sky with me!" This sentence is final.

Back in Mingshao Pavilion, Liu Rumo calculated the days, and the sacrifice was arranged five days later, that is, the time she roughly estimated at the beginning.

Emperor Qing has been staying in his own palace since then, Concubine Rou was sent back, the imperial doctors repeatedly ran between the Longao Palace and the Tai Hospital, Liu Rumo also took the courtiers' twists and turns into his own hands, and the physical condition of the Qing Emperor deteriorated every day, becoming more and more difficult to control.

In addition to the missing concubine and baby, the rest of the Su family were sentenced to beheading because of the guilt of the uncle, and the whole door was beheaded, and no one was left, and the Qing Emperor declared to the outside world that General Shen He had overturned the case and made an explanation.

By the day before the ceremony, Emperor Qing was already too sick to get out of bed, according to Emperor Qingdi's meaning, the news of his serious illness was not announced to the public, Qingyuan was recalled to the palace to serve on the side, and Concubine Rou changed the day and night of the past, and was left aside by Emperor Qing.

Xu is Su family overturned too quickly, and the courtiers were shocked by the scene on the Qinzheng Palace that day, and they were all exceptionally peaceful and self-conscious during this time, and under such calm, the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens was held as scheduled.

Liu Rumo went to the Zongmiao early in the morning, she made the pill required by the Qing Emperor overnight the night before, and the Qing Emperor could recover his strength in a short time, but once the effect of the medicine passed, he would still restore the original state, in order to hold the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky, the Qing Emperor took the pill without hesitation, and according to the etiquette of the clan, he and Qing Yuan took a sedan chair out of the palace gate.
