189. [189] Tongue War

Three days in a row.

Although there were some gossips in the palace, they were all suppressed by Duanmu Qi in time.

And Duanmuqi presided over the overall situation at a critical moment and stabilized the court.

Because the queen mother's bedroom was engulfed in the fire, perhaps the fire was too prosperous, and perhaps the palace people did not dare to stay in the ruins for too long, and the last body was not found.

As a last resort, Duanmuqi had to order to build a mound for the queen mother and bury the queen mother beside the emperor.

And the clothes in this mound are also newly purchased.

After all, the whole palace was in ruins, and no human bones could be found, let alone other ornaments. Even if there were, no one dared to touch it, for fear of bringing disaster upon itself.

For three days, Duanmu Kaoru's high fever did not subside, and the silver pupils and night fire did not find much valuable news. Bluegrass has also made no progress.

The only thing to be thankful for is that Ziyi has always been by Duanmu Kaoru's side, except for being a lot haggard, there is no discomfort.

During this period, Ziyi once tried to put his aura into Duanmu Kaoru's body, but he could obviously feel the rejection of another force in Duanmu Kaoru's body.

That force was so strong that it almost injured her, and as a last resort, Ziyi had to give up and pray silently.

There is another thing I don't know if I should be happy or not, that is, after three days, Duanmu Kaoru did not have skin ulcers like others, except for a high fever and did not wake up, and did not have any other bad symptoms.

Although everyone tried their best to hide, on the fourth day, the news of the emperor's illness still spread.

For a while, the Heart Cultivation Hall was surrounded by those ministers and concubines.

It's just that these people are just around, but there is no further movement, looking at the heavy guards outside the Heart Cultivation Palace, they all get together in three or two to discuss.

"Yo, what's wrong with Hongu Dao? Ministers don't bother with state affairs, why are they here? When Xue Xue heard the news and rushed over, she couldn't help frowning when she saw this scene.

Unexpectedly, her father was also in this group.

"Cher." Seeing her father beckoning to her, Xue Xue only frowned and did not move.

Now, she is the queen, one person is above 10,000 people, if she does something unruly in front of so many courtiers and concubines, I am afraid that it will affect the entire court, and even the entire Luodu Dynasty.

Gritting his teeth, Xue Xue didn't understand how his father could be as confused as these old guys.

Seeing that Xue Xue didn't move, Xue Xue's father couldn't hold his face.

He had already lost a daughter, and now, he could not afford to lose this again.

The country, although the country is important, but he has dedicated most of his life to the country of the Luodu Dynasty, at this time, he only wants to be reunited as a family, and there is no more life and death.

He confessed that he was an unfaithful and unrighteous man.

But it wasn't until the moment he faced his daughter's tragic death that he understood that he was not great, that he was just a father, and that he was nothing but that. He can't be righteous.

"Heh, the emperor is just a little unwell, the ministers are already like this, are the courtiers in my Luodui Dynasty so useless?" Xue Xue's gaze couldn't help but become sharp, she glared at everyone angrily, and the little hands under her sleeves were clenched to death. "Or do you have people here who are talking about it? Vainly trying to curse the emperor? Curse me the Twilight Dynasty? ”

Xue Xue swept her gaze to the concubines behind these ministers.

The noble concubine Nazha was standing in the crowd at this time, her eyes staring straight at the closed door of the Heart Cultivation Palace, as if thinking about something.

"Queen Mother," the crowd was quiet for a while, and then an old man walked out, saluted Xue Xue, and said, "The old minister didn't dare to curse the saint, but the old minister heard that the saint was seriously ill, but he refused to declare the imperial doctor." Now it has been four full days without seeing anyone, and there are heavy soldiers guarding outside this heart palace, and the old minister is brave, for the sake of the Luodu Dynasty's rivers and mountains, it is really a last resort, so he gathered here with everyone. ”

Xue Xue, the old minister who came out, recognized it as the official secretary who was good friends with her father.

"This palace doesn't quite understand what Lord Zhang means." Xue Xue narrowed her eyes slightly, with hidden anger on her face.

This old thing, obviously wants to confirm whether the emperor has the plague, if so, for the sake of the country, does this group of old things want to burn this heart palace too?

"Niangniang, now that so many of us are here, we just want to meet the emperor and make sure that the emperor is safe."

"I think you all want the emperor to die early!" Behind Xue Xue, there was a purple-clothed voice.

Ziyi had long known that there was a group of people gathered outside the door, but he didn't bother to pay attention to it. It's just that she didn't expect that more and more people outside this Heart Cultivation Hall would gather, gritting her teeth, she pushed open the door, with a sneer on the corner of her mouth, and said, "The emperor is infected with the wind and cold, and he is resting at this time." In addition, I was thinking about how to deal with the plague day and night, and now that the Queen Mother has passed away, the emperor can't bear the blow, so he has been sick for several days! You old things are good, you don't think about how to deal with the plague, don't think about how to save the people of Li, but run to this heart palace to make trouble! All right—go in, let me in!" Take a good look at your emperor's appearance at this time! Look at how much he has paid for this world! In the end, I can't change your sincerity! You! You! You! Speaking of anger, Ziyi strode forward, pointed his finger at the tip of the nose of Lord Zhang who had just spoken, and the few people behind Lord Zhang, and said: "You old things, you only know how to interfere with the emperor's harem, who should be accepted as a concubine, and who should be named as a queen?" What did you do for the court? And how many? If you individuals are really for the sake of the country, you shouldn't be standing here at this time, saying what to see the emperor! You should think about it, what kind of hard work should be made to relieve some of the burden on the emperor's shoulders, at least so that the emperor can live for a few more years! You don't have to go to Hades so early! ”

As soon as Ziyi's words fell, I saw all the courtiers kneeling, and everyone's faces were filled with fear and resentment.

Xue Xue looked at the purple clothes with a flat gaze, and then at the person kneeling on the ground, but she just looked at it and didn't speak.

Although she didn't know about Duanmu Kaoru's situation, just looking at Ziyi's furious appearance at this time, she knew that this situation must be bad. Although she doesn't have much affection for Duanmu Kaoru, after all, she is also her husband, and she is a good emperor, and she is a little more worried in her heart.

"Hmph, don't you just want to come and meet the emperor? Let's go! Let's go inside! I'll really tell you, the emperor is suffering from the plague, come, who will go in with me? You? You? Or are you? Let's go, don't be afraid, you can't die! Isn't it a plague? You see, I've been with the emperor for three days and three nights, and it's okay! If anything, none of you here will survive! ”

Ziyi finally vented the anger in his heart, looked coldly at the kneeling people on the ground, and wanted to slap everyone here to death.

"I think Concubine Ling's words are already very clear, if you are still so obsessed, this palace will immediately invite the Seventh Prince to come and take a trip, so that he can take a good look at his courtiers for the emperor." Xue Xue saw everyone kneeling on the ground with a panicked and dissatisfied look, and spoke at the right time.

After all, Ziyi is just a concubine, and she is the queen.

And at this time, she even involved the Seventh Prince, who was acting for the government, and these old ministers were no matter how stubborn they were, they should retreat at this time.

"I think it's time for the Luo Dusk Dynasty to change the dynasty. You old things who only take money and don't do practical things, if you still have feelings for this falling dynasty, get out of the palace quickly! Handle your own affairs well, control the disaster situation in Beijing, and appease the people. ”

Ziyi simply didn't want to see these people for a second longer.

Duanmu Xun's life and death are uncertain now, and she can't care about any palace etiquette.

Whatever manners, whatever positions, go to death!

"Hehe, Sister Concubine Ling is really sharp-toothed, scolding these loyal ministers who are dedicated to the country is worthless, I really don't know if the emperor will be furious if he knows!"

The old ministers didn't dare to refute, but Nazha wasn't afraid.

She walked out of the crowd at this time, with a smug smile on her face, and said, "Nazha really wants to know, what Sister Ling just said, but the emperor asked Sister to convey it?" ”

Ziyi frowned, she didn't want to pay attention to this woman who had nothing to do at this time, and as soon as she turned around, she wanted to go back to the palace.

"Yo, sister, what's wrong? Escaped? Scared? Don't dare to face it anymore? What about my sister's courage just now? The people kneeling outside this hall, who has not contributed to this Luo Dui Dynasty! Which one is not a loyal minister? Everyone is just worried about the emperor's dragon body, but now she is scolded by her sister for being so incompetent, Nazha really doesn't know, what is her sister's intentions? ”

Nazha's words made everyone kneeling on the ground can't help but look at this woman with appreciation, and they greatly agree with it in their hearts.

"Here, it's not the turn of an alien dog who doesn't belong here to interject." Ziyi was really angry, so angry that he couldn't choose to speak. Xue Xue was closest to the purple clothes, she gently tugged the sleeves of the purple clothes, and her brows were slightly locked.

Although Ziyi's words just now are not popular with these ministers of the DPRK and China, there is also a trace of truth, so these ministers can't refute it, but now, this Nazha obviously wants to come out and be a good person.

If Ziyi fights with this Nazha at this time, I am afraid that these ministers will fall one-sidedly, and it will obviously be unfavorable to Ziyi at that time.

"You-hehe, so this is the so-called etiquette of the Luodui Dynasty! Although I am a barbarian, since I married into this palace, I am the emperor's concubine, and there is no other identity! If Sister Concubine Ling insisted on hurting people like this, it would be inconvenient for Nazha to say more! I'm sorry! ”

Nazha really seized the opportunity at this moment, and as soon as she showed weakness, the courtiers stood up again.

"Concubine Ling, the old minister dares to ask Concubine Ling, when Niangniang was scolding us, did you think about what Niangniang had done for my Luodui Dynasty? As far as the old minister knows, Niangniang is the most favored concubine in this palace, and the emperor can even use all kinds of means for Niangniang. But Niangniang has been in the palace for so long, but she still has no heirs, Niangniang has not even done the most basic duties of a woman, how dare she insult us old ministers who are dedicated to the country! ”

The old man just now seemed to have morale again, with a sneer on his face.

"Huh—huh?" Ziyi sneered and said softly: "Dare to ask this Lord Zhang, what is the duty of being a courtier?" ”

"Naturally, it is to serve the court, be loyal, and solve problems for the emperor!"

"Then Ziyi asked Lord Zhang again, what should be the duty of being a concubine?"

"Hmph, have children, and spread the branches for the royal family." The grown-up snorted disdainfully through his nose.

"What about loyalty?" Ziyi raised her eyebrows, looked at this adult and asked: "If a woman can give birth to children for the emperor, but she has always planned how to occupy the entire Luodu Dynasty, Ziyi wants to ask, has this woman done her duty?" If, as Lord Zhang said, this woman did it, she really did it for the royal family, should she be praised? ”

"Such a woman! Nature can't be kept! Master Zhang hesitated for a moment, and then said.

"That one has foreign blood, and the foreign race has been looking at our Luodui Dynasty when this piece of fat meat, married their princess to this harem, I want to ask the adult, the adult really believes what this princess said, married is my Luodui Dynasty people, from now on there is no second heart! If so, why did this barbarian rebel rise up again today? If this princess is really dedicated to my court, shouldn't she also solve problems for the emperor at this time? ”

"This-" Master Zhang was speechless for a moment by Ziyi's question, and squinted at Nazha who was standing aside.

Although this Nazha did say all the good things for them just now, but after all, she was the princess of the barbarians, and if she didn't have two hearts, he would never believe it!

"If my sister says so, no matter what Nazha does in this palace, I'm afraid she will have to bear the title of 'Barbarian Princess', and she won't be able to turn over for the rest of her life?" Nazha's gaze swept coldly towards Ziyi, and she wanted to tear Ziyi apart.

"That's right. No matter what you do, you will always be the princess of the enemy country. Besides, didn't the princess say it just now, it's inconvenient to say more, Ziyi doesn't know, what is the princess arguing about here at this time? ”

"You!" Nazha's little face was flushed by the purple clothes, she gritted her teeth and looked at the purple clothes, but she couldn't say anything to refute them. "If that's the case, wouldn't it be better for me to take a letter of resignation immediately, and let my father and emperor immediately raise an army and swallow the entire Luodui Dynasty into the mouths of my barbarians!"

"Come on, take this woman down for me! Locked up in a dungeon and no one is allowed to come into contact with her! "What Ziyi is waiting for is Naza's words! She wants to see who else dares to oppose these old ministers! "Such a scheming woman, how can my Luo Dui Dynasty tolerate you at this moment!"
