Chapter 20: The Beginning of War

Seeing that everyone was obedient, the queen finally faded away from the evil aura in her body, showed a deep look of pain, stroked her forehead and trembled: "Two Aiqing, the illness in this palace still needs to be diagnosed and treated with all your might." ”

The two court judges glanced at each other, and then said slowly: "Yes, Niangniang, the ministers do their best, do their best." ”

"Die!!" The queen suddenly shouted, her eyes full of fierce and vicious: "This palace doesn't want you to do your best!" This palace wants you to cure the disease of this palace! ”

"Hongu can't die! Don't die! Hongu is still so young and so noble, how can Hongu die?! Everyone in the world is dead, and this palace can't die! The queen erupted in rage, smashing things as she spoke.

Just listen to the "whoop"! The jade Ruyi she often played with had also been smashed by her, and the loud sound of the jade shattering was terrifying.

The forehead of one of the court judges was even scratched by the splashed debris, and bright red blood flowed. The court judge covered his head in panic, and immediately replied, but his tone was hesitant and unconfident: "Niangniang is angry, begging Niangniang to calm her anger." Wechen ...... Wechen must ...... Govern...... Heal the mother's illness ......"

The queen stared at him fiercely for a long time, and then she let go, and then collapsed on the beauty couch, and then waved her hand in despair, and the two court judges saw this, and fled in a panic.

"Get out of here, too! Twilight remains. The queen scolded the palace lady who was waiting in the palace again.

So only Yao Duran was left in the palace. After completely calming down, the queen, who had always been arrogant and cold, cried bitterly.

"Oh my God...... How could such a thing happen to Hongu...... How could Hongu be infected with such a disease......"

"Damn, damn it, God really damn it, you treat this palace like this...... This must not be true...... Twilight...... Hongu isn't having a nightmare, is he? Quick, wake up Hongu......"

Yao Duran listened silently, and her heart was full of happiness. God has just opened his eyes, the cruel and desolate queen is infected with a dirty disease, which is simply reasonable and deserved!

"Mother, don't be so sad. You are the reincarnation of the phoenix, noble, and extraordinary, and your illness will surely be cured. Yao Duran persuaded while pouring her a cup of fragrant tea.

The queen's eyes were full of sorrow, and she waved her hand lazily.

At this time, Qiao Fengzhi came in.

"Mother, something happened." Qiao Fengzhi said this after standing still.

The queen immediately looked at him with a pair of teary eyes: "What's the matter?" ”

"Niangniang, Xiao Gongzi is dead."

"What?" The queen was so frightened that she forgot to cry.

Qiao Fengzhi slowly explained: "Xiao Gongzi is dead, he has lived in the post house for a long time, and he is impermanent, if he hadn't sent someone to find him today, I don't know that he has died in the room, and he has been dead for about two days." ”

The queen was full of surprise and was stunned for a long time before she asked urgently, "How did he die?" ”

"Hui Niangniang, he committed suicide by seppuku, because when he was found, his palm was still holding the hilt of the knife in his abdomen. Also, he still has the letter on his desk. With that, Qiao Fengzhi presented the letter.

The queen took it and looked at it, and for a while, her face changed in a thousand ways, as if there was compassion and resentment......

"It's him! Sure enough, it was him! Hongu's illness was contracted from him! He said in this letter that he knew that he was sick and felt that he had harmed the palace, so he committed suicide and apologized! Xiao Yue! He made this palace miserable! ”

Qiao Fengzhi said again: "Niangniang, the post house has already reported to the official, and the waiter we sent to deliver the message intercepted the letter before anyone from the official mansion came." The government has already taken away Xiao Gongzi's body, and when he finds out what happened, he will still hit Niangniang in the face, so Niangniang hurriedly ordered to return Xiao Gongzi's body from the government. ”

The queen was shocked and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, Fengzhi, quickly send someone to the official mansion and pass on the palace message, Xiao Yue committed suicide, no need to investigate, if you want to go back to the corpse, you will set it on fire." ”

"Yes." Qiao Fengzhi went out for a while, and then entered the hall after giving instructions.

The queen looked at him with tears in her eyes, and cried again: "Fengzhi...... What should Hongu do? ”

Qiao Fengzhi took the tea cup in Yao Duran's hand and handed it to the queen, while persuading: "Don't be sad, the soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it." For today's plan, the blockade news is the first to bear the brunt, so it is announced that Niangniang is suffering from malaria, so that the Tai Hospital will send medicine to Fengyi Palace, which is also reasonable, and it will not make people speculate. ”

"Also, Niangniang's other male pets should also be killed, lest their illness be exposed and implicate Niangniang."

"Yes, yes. Hongu is so good.,It's really thanks to you.。 Then send someone to assassinate them, and it is better to cause all kinds of accidents, so as not to arouse suspicion. The queen said, taking the teacup.

Qiao Fengzhi responded.

The queen was relieved again: "Fengzhi, plan well for the palace, if he is blessed by heaven and escapes this catastrophe, the palace will marry you and Twilight, and then give you a place to live in the capital, so that you can live out of the palace." ”

"Thank you, mother. Don't be sad, go to bed and rest, the hospital will send medicine later, and the mother wakes up and drinks the medicine. ”

The queen sighed and nodded, handed the teacup in her hand to Yao Duran, and reached out to help Qiao Fengzhi and walked towards the inner hall.

Yao Duran Marquis was outside, watching the queen's gorgeous phoenix dress flash, and said in her heart that she could escape this catastrophe It was a fool's dream.

……

An hour later, the two judges from the Tai Hospital personally prepared all kinds of medicines and sent them over, some were fried and drunk, and some were sprinkled into the bathtub for medicinal baths......

Next, the medicinal taste of Fengyi Palace was never broken.

Under the queen's obscenity, everyone in the know really kept silent, clinging to the queen's scandal, for fear that there would be a little gossip in the palace, and those words that could be blurted out without much effort would cost many lives. As a result, the people in the palace only knew that the queen was really suffering from malaria, and there was no hidden feeling.

The medicinal smell of Fengyi Palace seemed to spread all over the palace, and within two days, Xiahou Bo actually came to visit after many days. The palace people in the palace retreated, and the two of them got along alone after leaving the emperor.

The queen looked at Xiahou Bo, who was sitting on the edge of the bed and asked for warmth, and had no intention of welcoming him, and said coldly and detachedly: "Your Majesty, is you worried about the illness of your concubine or your own future?" ”

"Queen, what are you talking about? Naturally, I'm also worried about your illness, you can't have any three long and two short. ”

"Yes, the concubine naturally has to live well, and let His Majesty sit on the dragon chair for a few more days. Well, when the concubine is tired, she won't send it to Your Majesty. ”

Seeing this, Xiahou Bo had no choice but to say: "That's it, your illness center is not going well, I won't annoy you, you can take care of your illness, I am gone." ”

In this way, Xiahou Bo left Fengyi Palace without sitting for a while.

The queen watched his figure leave, and disgust crossed her eyes.

On the second day, Du Yan visited the palace again. He inquired about the queen's condition, and when he saw that everyone said that there was no major problem, he left with peace of mind, and ordered someone to send a lot of precious medicinal materials.

Yao Duran originally thought that the queen could recuperate in peace, but as the saying goes, blessing and misfortune do not go alone, and within a few days, a shocking news suddenly came out of the previous dynasty.

This news is not trivial, no one dares to hide it, and it can't hide it, so it naturally spread to Fengyi Palace.

"What? Bongzhi, you say it again? The queen's eyes widened in disbelief when she heard the news.

Qiao Fengzhi reported again: "Niangniang, it's true, Nangan sent 100,000 troops to attack my North Vietnam." ”

"Bastard, bastard! How so? After the queen was surprised, Feng Yan was furious.

The exchange of troops between the two countries is not a trivial matter! There are princes divided inside, and Du Yan suppresses them, and they can't make big waves. But if other countries want to raise troops to conscript, their strength should not be underestimated!

Yao Duran, who was on the side, was also shocked by the news, and looked at Qiao Fengzhi in a daze.

Qiao Fengzhi glanced at her, and lowered his eyes and said: "Niangniang, it is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Nanqian who is leading the army to recruit this time, and I heard that there is also a great wise man Yun Ce by his side. ”

"Yun Ce? Is it my North Vietnam's worldly master, the wise man Yun Ce? The queen asked.

Qiao Fengzhi nodded: "Not bad." The wise man Yun Ce was extremely prestigious and respected in my North Vietnam, but he was pretentious and did not want to assist the emperor, but went to Nanqian, ranked in the Xiangguo, and was loyal to Emperor Qian. Now he has come with the prince of Nanqian to conquer his homeland. ”

When Yao Duran heard this, he suddenly realized in his heart. Sure enough, he is worthy of being a great wise man, different customs, and awe-inspiring righteousness. is unwilling to assist the faint monarch, to end the tyranny of North Vietnam and save the lives of the people.

Such a person is born only to belong to the world, and has only righteousness in his heart and no home and country.

Well, what a wise man!

When Yao Duran was pondering, he was relieved to hear Qiao Fengzhi.

Yao Duran looked at the queen on the bed, that person was no longer calm and relaxed before, and now he was sick, and today he has heart disease, and his eyes are full of worries.

What is this? It is said that if you are born as a human being, you will have heavenly retribution, and now it seems that her retribution has just begun.

……

The end of the first month came to an end in a hurry. As we enter February, the temperature has not yet warmed up, and it is still cold, and it seems that this year's spring will come later.

At this time, the two countries have officially exchanged troops. Smoke broke out at the border, and under the spread of the raging war, people abandoned their homes and fled, and they were displaced. Only the palace is still comfortable. Gradually, she was pleased to find that even with the careful conditioning and treatment of the Tai Hospital, the queen's condition still tended to deteriorate, her spirit was declining, and she was also emaciated and weak. The treatment of Tai Hospital just made the onset of her illness slower, and it could not cure the root cause at all.

After Yao Duran fed her the medicine, she covered her with a quilt, and the queen looked so sad that she couldn't get up or sleep, and her gloomy eyes were in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.

After a while, Qiao Fengzhi came in, and when he learned that the queen had not yet slept, he lifted the curtain and walked in, and said softly: "Niangniang, Concubine Ning sent you a letter from Yingqing Temple. ”

As he spoke, he presented a snow-white letter to the queen.

"Concubine Ning? Hongu is going to forget about her. The queen said, lazily took the letter, and after reading it, she said: "She wants to go back to the palace to serve the sick, even if she has a heart, it is difficult for her, and the New Year is spent in the temple." ”

"Mother, that ...... Let her come back? Qiao Fengzhi asked.
