Although Tang Guifei was not a female Zhuge , she had too much trust in Empress Dowager Zhang before, and after hearing Zhang Xiaowu's explanation, she suddenly realized that there was something strange in it. Her IQ and EQ are not low, she just didn't think about politics and the court situation before, and the current situation forced her to think deeply, Empress Dowager Zhang wants to kill her son, how can she leave Chenghua alone to bear it, how can a seven-year-old child withstand the storm and the intrigues in the palace.

She has also heard a lot about the methods of the Empress Dowager Zhang, since the Empress Dowager Zhang gave birth to the King of Jin, no prince in the palace can live past two years old. Thinking that she might use these moves against her own children, Tang Guifei suddenly shuddered. Thinking of this, she regained her spirits, and her eyes finally revealed firmness, she wanted to live, she wanted to protect Chenghua and become an emperor. Of course, she also doubted Zhang Xiaowu's strength, after all, Zhang Xiaowu was just a guard with a sword in front of the emperor, a prince and a young guard, and a commander of the silver-clothed guard, how could he fight those old foxes and careerists.

Zhang Xiaowu felt that she should have changed her mind, so he said: "Guifei Niangniang, now that the coup has just been quelled, there will definitely be an abnormal storm baptizing the government and the opposition next, I will pick up the butcher's knife and kill all those who have hurt Your Majesty, and I also need your help." ”

Tang Guifei said: "I am a woman, how can I help Lord Shaobao, but if I can help Zhang Shaobao and support my son to be in power, it is to throw my head, and I don't mind." ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Guifei Niangniang, this trip is more dangerous than throwing your head, the winner takes all, the loser is killed by the nine clans, no one can be neutral, and no one can be spared." Either we succeed or the whole clan perishes, it is a matter of imperial struggle, only life and death, not survival. ”

Tang Guifei nodded firmly and said, "Lord Shaobao, but it's okay to talk about it." ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Although the coup was thwarted by us for a while, we only know that Li Canglan participated, Liyang Hou participated, the Qinglong Army participated, and the Zilong Army participated, but who was behind the scenes is not yet known, that is, the real enemy has not yet surfaced." But I'm sure he'll jump out on his own soon. Your Majesty's life and death are uncertain, but the country cannot be without a king for a day, and someone will inevitably ask to preside over the affairs of the country, and even ask for the appointment of a prince to act as the Son of Heaven. Of course, the person behind the scenes may not come forward directly, and he may send his own henchmen or dead men to come forward. Once this person appears, the ministers will wipe him out, no matter what his status is, no matter how important he is to the empire, and he will also ask the concubine Niangniang to give her full support. ”

Tang Guifei didn't know much about court politics, and she didn't know what Zhang Xiaowu wanted to do, she only cared and said, "Can you catch the real murderer?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Yes, but I need the support of the royal family, especially yours, and in addition, if we find out where the Queen Mother is, she must die." ”

Tang Guifei was silent for a while, obviously reluctant to let Empress Dowager Zhang die, after all, Empress Dowager Zhang was the biological mother of Emperor Dade, and she killed the emperor's biological mother, just afraid that the emperor would be angry in the future. However, now that the emperor's life and death are uncertain, and Empress Dowager Zhang is very likely to be used to frame her son, Tang Guifei nodded painfully.

Zhang Xiaowu smiled knowingly, and said: "If Your Majesty can wake up, it is naturally the best, but if Your Majesty can't wake up, you can only supervise the country by King Zhao, and King Zhao is young, Niangniang will definitely help listen to the government." As the so-called main and young country is in turmoil, it will inevitably lead to court disputes, and Niangniang only needs to remember one thing, you and I must stand together. You are the mother of King Zhao, I am his second father, you helped him grow up in the harem, and I helped him seize power in the imperial court. ”

Tang Guifei was surprised: "Father? ”

Zhang Xiaowu told her the entrustment of Emperor Dade before he fell into a coma, and finally said: "The minister promised His Majesty that he would protect his country, please rest assured that the concubine will also believe in the minister." ”

Tang Guifei didn't know whether Zhang Xiaowu's words were true or false, but now she and King Zhao are almost equal to orphans and widows, and can only rely on Zhang Xiaowu, even if this matter is false, Tang Guifei can only treat him as true, so she said formally: "So I entrust the general, my mother and son's lives need to be protected by the general." ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Your Majesty's trust, I don't dare to disobey, I will definitely find out who is behind the scenes." ”

Tang Guifei said: "I want to see the murderer wipe out the Nine Clans, and I want to make them pay." ”

Zhang Xiaowu seems to see a strong woman rising, and a woman full of hatred in her heart, her strength is even far greater than that of men. He finally didn't have to worry about Tang Guifei committing suicide, so he led Tang Guifei to the Tai Hospital, because Tang Guifei's attendants were all executed, Zhang Xiaowu temporarily helped her find some palace maids and eunuchs. These people never thought that they would serve the concubine Niangniang one day, and they were really excited enough, and they looked more serious than the previous attendants.

When she came to the Tai Hospital, after seeing Emperor Dade, Tang Guifei's tense tears finally came out, she sat down beside Emperor Dade and couldn't stop crying, crying and crying and fainting. The female eunuchs of the palace were scared enough, and thought that Tang Guifei was not good, but fortunately, there were many doctors in the hospital, everyone looked at it, and said that the concubine was frightened all night, and now she is tired and hungry, and she fainted under sadness. There are many places to cultivate in the Tai Hospital, and the imperial doctors arrange them in the room next to Emperor Dade, with palace maids waiting for them, and a few female medical officers to take care of them, so it should be fine.

Zhang Xiaowu arranged for people to protect the three layers inside and outside the Tai Hospital, so as to prevent the rebels from mixing in and assassinating the emperor and the concubine, and arranged for Jin Sheng to be responsible for the safety of the emperor and the concubine. Then, he called Dong Zhen, the director of the Tai Hospital, and asked, "Master Dong, tell me the truth, how sure are you that Emperor Dade will wake up?" Don't hide it from me, maybe your concealment will cause Longdu to bleed. At present, the situation is dangerous, and no one except me will be allowed to know the true situation of His Majesty. ”

The folds on Dong Zhen's face revealed anxiety and helplessness, and said in a low voice: "There were three percent before, but now there is only one percent, and the arrow has not been taken out yet, if it is taken out, the blood will flow into the lungs, I am afraid that Your Majesty will not live for a moment." ”

"Huh?" Zhang Xiaowu hurriedly said: "You mean that Emperor Dade may be—"

Dong Zhen sighed and shed tears, the most painful thing as a doctor is to see that the patient is dying but cannot be saved, Emperor Dade is not sick, but injured, and the most serious arrow wound is received. If they are sick, they can prescribe medicine for treatment, not to mention that the medicine will cure the disease, but at least they can let Emperor Dade live for three more years, but in the face of such a serious arrow wound, they can only find a way to let Emperor Dade live a few more days. He said helplessly: "Lord Shaobao, how dare I hide it, Your Majesty is indeed very lucky, the best medicine has been used in the palace, but please also ask Lord Shaobao to prepare more, I am afraid that within ten days, Your Majesty will-alas-"
