Zhao Xiu, Li Shanwen, and the princess of Fenyang were waiting in the small garden behind the main hall of Cining Palace, bored.

The winter in the capital is very cold, and this year's wind and snow are particularly severe, seeing that the dark clouds in the sky are beginning to accumulate again, the sky is about to be cloudy, and it may rain and snow at any time, but they still have to stand in the open air. If the emperor didn't speak, they couldn't leave, but they were a little worried in their hearts.

Zhao Xiu glanced at the east room not far away, and thought to himself that if there was really rain and snow for a while, it shouldn't matter if he took shelter under the corridor over there, right? The emperor just told them to stay for a while, and didn't say that they had to stay where they were, as long as they were not far away, so that the emperor could see them as soon as they came out, and they could come as soon as they wanted.

Zhao Xiu thought so in his heart, and went to look at the few emperor's attendants who stayed outside the hall, but they were all fresh faces, and he didn't know which one to greet him. Li Shanwen's little girl is thin-skinned, and this kind of thing is not good for her to come out. The princess of Fenyang Wang is the emperor's serious niece and daughter-in-law, and it is not difficult to ask her to come forward to help. Looking at the way she is now pale from the wind, you know that she is also looking forward to a little shelter from the wind and rain.

Zhao Xiu leaned closer and whispered: "Princess, it's windy here, the sky is cloudy again, and it may rain in a while." We continue to stand here, and it would be indecent for people to see it if it rained so wet. Can you talk to the father-in-law or sisters who are waiting around the emperor, and let us take refuge under the porch next to us? ”

When the princess of Fenyang heard this, she smiled with a smile on her face: "My sister is thoughtful, it is really not good to lose her honor in front of the palace." Then he really stepped forward, looked for a costume, and looked like the highest grade among the people present, and the palace maid whispered a few words. The other party was a little hesitant, hesitating and not daring to make the decision.

However, the inner supervisor on the side was very calm: "It's okay, the princess and the two girls just go over and avoid it." The emperor finished talking to the Queen Mother for a while. I don't think I'll ever come out of this little door. When the minions are ordered to wait, the three of them just come together. He even came up with an idea: "The palace concubines living in the west room are all the palace concubines of the first emperor, and now they are all in Qing Xiu, so outsiders are not good to disturb at will." Behind this main hall is the big Buddha hall of the Queen Mother's usual worship Buddha, but it is quiet, and the place under the eaves is big. The princess and the girls might as well go over there to avoid the rain and snow. When the emperor is leaving, our side will move. The three of you can see it at a glance, wouldn't it be easy? ”

This is a really good idea, especially the princess of Fenyang. I had been to the Big Buddha Hall several times before, and the palace maids who were waiting there were all familiar with her, so she smiled and turned around to summon Zhao Xiu and Li Shanwen over. He said, "Let's go up to the Great Buddha Hall." You can sit under the porch over there. ”

Li Shanwen hesitated: "That's fine." "She is also the younger generation of the Queen Mother's family. I have lived in the palace for a long time, and I know the topography of Cining Palace. It is true that the place under the front porch of the Big Buddha Hall is spacious, and the palace people are also very familiar, but the most important thing is ...... From there, you can vaguely see the situation in the main hall, and you only need to pass through the short corridor in the courtyard to enter the back door of the main hall, and then go around two bends to the front hall and the bright room. The Queen Mother, the Emperor and the Empress were in the palace, and they didn't know how the dispute was. Li Shanwen knew that he would definitely marry the emperor's eldest son. I was always worried that the queen didn't know what trouble would happen. Even if she knew it was wrong, she still wanted to take a sneak peek.

Zhao Xiu saw that both of her agreed. Naturally, he would not object, so he smiled and followed them back again, crossing the courtyard and walking towards the big Buddha hall.

The palace maid asked the inner supervisor in a low voice: "Does it really matter?" How dare you make your own claims? Beware of the Supervisor's Guilt! ”

The inner supervisor glanced at her: "The eldest sister is so unconscious." That's not an ordinary edict and daughter, it's the queen mother's niece's nephew and daughter-in-law, who can't be the most loved on weekdays, can you still watch them blow the wind and break it? They are all weak and can't help the wind, and it is about to snow, if it is really cold, the emperor will blame us for neglecting the nobles. ”

The palace maid was not very relieved, and was about to say a few more words, when she suddenly heard a commotion in the main hall, and the howl of the emperor, both of them were startled. The palace attendants looked at each other, and they were all a little helpless. The inner prison was the most clever, and after only a while, he reacted and rushed towards the back door at the west end.

Zhao Xiu and the others had just walked to the front of the big Buddha hall, and before they could say hello to the palace people waiting in the hall, they heard a commotion from the direction of the main hall. All three were stunned, not knowing what had happened.

Li Shanwen listened carefully and hesitated: "...... just now It seems that the palace maid next to the Queen Mother is screaming......" The princess of Fenyang also kept nodding: "Yes, I heard it too." Zhao Xiu frowned and said, "Is the emperor calling now?" Why does it seem so miserable? Suddenly, she heard the emperor shout "My eyes", and she was stunned for a moment, and immediately rushed down the steps with a great change in her face.

Li Shanwen also ran behind her towards the main hall with a blue face, and after three or two steps, he overtook her and rushed into the hall first. Zhao Xiu simply followed her, saving herself from finding her way again. The princess of Fenyang followed at the end with a pale face. After the three of them entered the door, they turned around the hall twice, only to see a light in front of them, and the tragic situation in the bright room suddenly stunned them.

The empress was suppressed to the ground by several palace maids from Cining Palace and the attendants who followed the emperor, and the emperor covered his right eye with one hand, and howled with blood on his face. The queen was pale, crying and desperately hugging the emperor: "Your Majesty, show me, show the queen mother your injuries!" The Emperor only shook his head desperately, but he couldn't stop screaming in pain, but the blood on his hands was getting bigger and bigger.

Zhao Xiu quickly realized what had just happened, and looked at the queen in amazement, unable to believe how she could be so stupid! All the emperor's sons who have been born have come out of her womb, and the will of the emperor's eldest son has been promulgated, and he will marry a wife in the next year, he is not stupid, and he has the ability, and the emperor attaches great importance to it. The queen doesn't have to do anything, her son can become the prince, and now that she has given the emperor this, she may be deposed at any time, can her son's throne still be kept? Has she forgotten that her husband will have another son? Concubine Duan is now pregnant with a child in her belly!

Why on earth would the queen do such a thing? Just because no one believes that she was wronged? But she is obviously not wronged!

At the moment when Zhao Xiu and the others were stunned, the Queen Mother had already calmed down the emperor a little with half coaxing and half persuasion. Removing the hand that covered his right eye, he saw a deep bloody wound on his head. When the hairpin was thrown, it was too forceful. The emperor couldn't avoid it, in addition to the damage from the tip of the silver hairpin, even the hairpin body poked the eyelids around it, so that the eyes looked almost a blur of flesh and blood, which was miserable. The Queen Mother only felt that her eyes were black, as if she had once again experienced the despair of the moment when her eldest son was declared blind by the imperial doctor, and her body couldn't help but fall backwards.

At this time, almost all the maids around the queen mother were sent to suppress the queen. The remaining one was still standing beside the emperor and gasping for air. The Queen Mother had no one around to support her, and she was about to fall. Zhao Xiu saw it, and hurriedly rushed up to support her. Li Shanwen cried and held her other arm. kept calling her: "Queen Mother, are you okay?" Wake up! ”

The princess of Fenyang has already weakened her feet.

Zhao Xiu took her thumb to pinch the queen mother's middle man, and pinched her until she woke up quietly. Zhao Xiu saw that her eyes were straight, and he knew that she was awake. But consciousness is still faint. hurriedly said in her ear: "Queen Mother, you can't faint now, the emperor's injury needs to be treated as soon as possible, you have to send the imperial doctor quickly!" ”

"Imperial Doctor......" The Queen Mother's eyes slowly became clear, "Yes, Imperial Doctor!" She gasped and ordered, "Quick! Pass on the Imperial Doctor! Call all the doctors! ”

"No way!" The emperor unexpectedly stopped her, "You can't pass on the imperial doctor!" He used his remaining eyes to look at the people around him, and then at Zhao Xiu and Li Shanwen. and the princess of Fenyang, who had just calmed down a little and walked behind the Queen Mother. There was a jealous look in his eyes: "I can't let people outside the palace know that I am injured!" "Especially injuries that can be disabling! He has not forgotten how his brother King Guangping lost the position of prince in the first place.

The Queen Mother couldn't accept his decision: "The emperor is confused? You are so seriously injured, how can you be cured if you don't call yourself a doctor?! ”

The emperor hesitated, the sharp pain in his right eye made it impossible for him to think calmly, and he couldn't help but cry out again.

Under the suppression of the palace people, the queen let out a low laugh: "He didn't dare to call the imperial doctor, for fear that people would let him abdicate if they knew that he was blind." With so many people staring at his seat, how could he rest assured? Isn't there a princess of Guangping Wang here? ”

Zhao Xiu glared at the queen fiercely, it was her business to die, and she had to pull innocent people into the water, which made people unbearable!

She said to the emperor bluntly: "Your Majesty, it is important to treat your injuries, you are still bleeding, you must first stop the bleeding and stop the pain, and then you can talk about anything else." If anyone dares to plot evil, will you not be on guard? Why joke with your own life? "If you don't call him a doctor, is he going to bleed until he dies? Or do you think that if you leave this wound alone, it will heal by self-study?

The emperor finally sobered up a little and understood that what Zhao Xiu said was right, he gritted his teeth and gave an order: "Let the embassy of the Tai Hospital judge it, and only bring two imperial doctors who are good at trauma, and the rest of the people don't have to come." Just say...... said that the queen went crazy and made the queen mother dizzy. ”

The clever inner eunuch quickly took the order, and the others, seeing that the emperor was bleeding, sought clean white cloth to cover his wounds. The queen mother's henchmen also remembered that there was an emergency gold medicine in the palace, no matter whether it was useful or not, they first found it to stop the bleeding for the emperor. Otherwise, when the imperial doctors arrived, half of the emperor's blood would be gone.

The Queen Mother's face turned white, and she held the hands of Zhao Xiu and Li Shanwen and stood up again. She took a deep breath and whispered to her henchmen palace: "You go and order to go down, immediately close all the gates of Cining Palace, and no one is allowed to enter or leave unless ordered!" All the idle people in Cining Palace are not allowed to move around without permission, and they will stay in the palace until the mourning family orders the lifting of the ban! ”

The palace people took the order with a white face, and the queen mother looked at the queen on the ground again, and her eyes burst out with strong hatred.

But the queen still didn't know whether she was alive or dead, and still said crazy things: "This is retribution!" that you may have wronged me...... It's a pity that God has no eyes, and he only injured one eye, so why didn't he ask for your life? If you die, Dalang will be the emperor, and our mother and son will have nothing to fear from now on......"

The palace people next to him all showed shocked expressions, the queen mother was so angry that she was about to faint again, Li Shanwen saw this, so he took over his seat from the princess of Fenyang, threw himself to the queen's side, and whispered in her ear: "Queen Mother, you don't have to say a word." The eldest son of the emperor, who is innocent? The second son of the emperor, He Gu? Her Royal Highness the Princess? If you hurt the emperor, don't you want to think about what will happen to your children? You are their mother! Please, don't make it any harder! ”

The queen was stunned, looked at Li Shanwen in a daze, her face was blank, and after a while, she suddenly trembled, lost consciousness and fainted on the ground.

Li Shanwen touched her pulse, breathed a sigh of relief, got up, and glanced back at Zhao Xiu, with indescribable sadness and confusion in his eyes.

Zhao Xiu can understand her feelings, when she meets such a pit son's mother, the eldest son of the emperor is really pitiful, but the queen is his own mother and has a kindness to him. Li Shanwen is the younger generation of the queen mother's family, but she was assigned to marry the eldest son of the emperor, and she was involved with such a mother-in-law, and her future is uncertain, and she is more innocent than the eldest son of the emperor. But she has no other choice. If it's her, I'll feel at a loss.

Zhao Xiu, Li Shanwen, and the princess of Fenyang worked together to move the queen mother to the kang in Xinuan Pavilion. The emperor waited for the arrival of the imperial doctor in the western room. The golden medicine prepared in Cining Palace was quite useful, his blood had basically stopped, and the pain had been relieved slightly, but the wound still looked very terrifying. The emperor was terrified and very irritable. The palace man stepped forward to wipe the blood stains for him, but because the force was a little heavier, he kicked it away vigorously.

Everyone's mood was heavy, just waiting for the arrival of the imperial doctor to announce how serious the emperor's injuries were.

Will he go blind?

Just in everyone's expectation, the envoy of the Tai Hospital finally arrived with someone. He thought that the queen mother was so angry that the queen fainted, and after entering the palace, he went to see the queen mother first, thinking that he was used to seeing the queen mother, and he should know it in his heart, but he didn't expect the inner supervisor to lead him directly to the emperor. As soon as he looked up and saw the emperor's appearance, his legs went limp: "Your Majesty! ”

The emperor said impatiently, "Which of you is good at treating external injuries?" Come and see for me! ”

The doctors immediately surrounded him.

Two quarters of an hour later, the imperial physicians re-cleaned the wound for the emperor, bandaged it with medicine, and immediately came to the conclusion that the emperor's right eye had been greatly damaged, but it was not completely blind at present, and careful treatment may not have any hope of healing. But if you want to be cured, the emperor must be careful everywhere, not to let the injury of his right eye deepen, and if he can not move it, try not to touch it, otherwise a slight delay may cause irreparable results. And now the doctor who is best at treating eye injuries in the world is undoubtedly Dr. Ye, who once restored the sight of King Guangping. If he were to be the emperor's chief doctor, he would probably have a greater chance of the emperor's recovery.

The emperor gritted his teeth and asked, "Is there no one else besides him?!" "Doctor Ye is the person of King Guangping, so how can he be trusted?

The imperial physicians carefully exchanged glances, and said in unison, "Doctor Ye is the best!" "Anyway, he is stronger than them, and the king of Guangping, who they can't cure, has been cured by him. The emperor's injuries should naturally be taken care of by him.

The Queen Mother was in the Xinuan Pavilion, and her face was already dark. (To be continued......)
