Chapter 67: The Emperor is in a coma
The Taoist priest and the eunuch all withdrew from the hall, and Zhao Yunniang fed the Yanshou Pill to the emperor, picked up the chrysanthemum tea at hand, and watched him drink it with his own eyes.
"Does the emperor feel more comfortable?" She smiled like a flower on her face, and raised her hand to wipe the water stains from his shirt with a handkerchief.
"Hmm." The Emperor nodded, panting heavily in his chest.
In a blink of an eye, I saw that she was dressed beautifully and movingly at the moment, and I reached out to touch her face.
Zhao Yunniang turned her head, deliberately avoided his hand, stood up and stared at him: "Since this is the case, the concubine still wants to accompany the child, then let the jade beauties serve the emperor tonight."
She walked out after speaking, leaving no time for the emperor to think.
But she didn't leave directly outside the hall, and watched the jade beauty come over dressed up extremely beautifully, so she went back with the child in her arms.
It's just the beginning, and no one can stop her from doing what she has to do.
This so-called longevity pill is just made of cinnabar mixed with some traditional Chinese medicine in the hospital.
Taking it a little bit is nothing, it will make people feel energetic, and the effect is really visible.
However, if the dose is too large, it will be life-threatening, and the toxins will accumulate over time, and there will be no way to save them.
In addition, the emperor didn't know how to control himself at all when he was having fun with those women, and his physical strength was already insufficient, so he secretly and frequently took aphrodisiacs to maintain the dignity of men.
If it continues like this, it won't take long for the bottom of the body to be hollowed out.
She knows that, too.
As long as the emperor dies, she can retire with success.
Everything he is doing now is to be able to leave a way out for himself and his children in the future.
"The concubine congratulates the four princes, and now their wish has finally come true. All the plans are in progress, and the four princes are invited to wait with peace of mind. Zhao Yunniang handed over the child to the nurse and went to Concubine Li's palace alone.
Yesterday evening, she had already received a letter from Concubine Li's palace, and this was the time to deliberately come out, blinding the emperor's sight, so that he would not be suspicious.
Tuoba Yuan glanced at her, there was not too much expression on his face, and he nodded rather coldly: "Don't worry, I promised you that I haven't forgotten."
"The concubine thanked the four princes first." After Zhao Yunniang got an accurate answer, she turned around and left.
Her bright red lips curled into a sympathetic smile.
How things will develop depends on the situation and the development of the situation.
Tuoba Yuan had already been murderous to her, and she didn't see this.
It's just that his strength is too weak now, and there is no way to directly confront him, so he can only take some detours and pretend to cooperate to seek survival.
People don't die for themselves, and there is no way to regret choosing this path, but the road is stepped on by people, no matter what, you still have to fight to know whether it will work or not.
A few days later, at night, the sky was overcast, not even the moon.
Zhao Yunniang had just put the child to sleep when she heard a rustling sound.
She got up lightly, walked outside the hall, and asked, "What's the matter, why is it so noisy outside?" ”
"Niangniang, the emperor is going to die." The palace maid whispered.
"What's wrong? The emperor is young and strong, and his body has always been very healthy, so don't talk if you can't speak. Zhao Yunniang frowned and scolded sharply.
I'm afraid those pills worked, and she still had to check it out just to be on the safe side.
There are not many people who know about this matter, and there are not many palace people who keep vigil outside the Palace of Cultivating Hearts, and they all go to do what they have to do.
Some of them were spies she had planted.
Before many people noticed her whereabouts, she quietly called someone to go to the small garden next to her to talk.
"The emperor's body has always been very good, why is it suddenly not working now?"
Hearing her question, the man pondered for a moment and said, "Just in the evening, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent a letter to the emperor. After reading it, the emperor's whole face changed greatly, and he called the four princes to scold him, and he was not good at night. ”
In this case, the letter is very problematic.
"Do you know what is written in that letter?" Zhao Yunniang frowned and asked with a deep face.
The man fumbled around his cuffs for a long time, and handed her a roll of paper, "Just now, when no one noticed me, I went to the study to find these. ”
Zhao Yunniang carefully unfolded the paper, and her eyes swiped up and down on the paper.
She made no secret of her contempt for the crown prince.
Although he is now locked up in a prison, this careful thinking is still inevitable.
He asked people to find out the truth about the death of the former prince, and used his connections to write the letter and ask them to send it to the emperor.
It is equivalent to directly exposing his strength, and it also lets the emperor know that he has a lot of ambitions, even if he is in prison, he can still do so many things.
As for calling Tuoba Yuan......
"Where is the Fourth Prince now?" Zhao Yunniang restored the paper to its original state and handed it to him.
There was no expression on the man's calm face, "Since he was reprimanded by the emperor in the afternoon, he has been kneeling in the Buddha hall, and he must not come out without an order." Presumably, this should still be in the Buddha Hall, but the emperor is unconscious now, so he can only stay there forever. ”
This probably shows that no one should be looking for trouble with her in a short period of time, and she can take advantage of this time to do whatever she wants to do.
Zhao Yunniang fell into her own thoughts, and didn't notice the faint curvature that suddenly appeared at the corner of the person's mouth next to her.
The moonlight outside was bright and bright, but the whole house was brightly lit.
She pushed open the door of the hall and walked in, looked at the man on the couch with cold eyes, and walked over.
"Your Majesty, the concubine has come to visit you." There was no hint of anxiety in her tone, and she said it lightly.
"You're finally here," the emperor coughed a little excitedly, the toxin had entered the internal organs, he was now in a state of psychedelia, and now he mistook her for Tuoba Truss's biological mother, "The slaughter of the palace back then, I hope you don't blame me, I really ...... you"
He tried to pull her hand, but Zhao Yunniang didn't let him touch him, shook his head and chuckled: "The emperor is really not lightly ill, but do you still have to take longevity pills?"
The emperor did not answer her words, and gradually even the wheezing sound became faint, and the hand that wanted to be raised finally drooped.
After the all-night rescue of the imperial doctors in the Tai Hospital, the emperor finally persevered.
Probably all the emperors' desire to survive is stronger than ordinary people, in the case of stopping the pill and using various thousand-year-old ginseng to continue life, although the body is not as good as before, but fortunately, it can handle government affairs normally.
During the few days he was unconscious, all the twists and turns were piled up like a small mountain, and it took him two whole days to deal with them.
The concubines in the harem fell into an unprecedented state of peace, and no one went to disturb the emperor, let alone the-for-tat in the past.
Everyone is thinking about their own future, and who has the heart to think about others.
Funing Hall came to two uninvited guests today.
"Niangniang, the second prince and the princess are here." A sudden voice scared Zhao Yunniang into a thrill, and when she looked back, it was the big girl Jade beside her.
She nodded, motioning for Jade to welcome someone in.
Tuoba Truss didn't see it at all, pushed Li Changge to the table, and drank tea by himself.
"This child's eyebrows and eyes are very similar to yours, and he will definitely be a handsome boy in the future." Li Changge glanced at him and smiled politely and detachedly at Zhao Yunniang.
Zhao Yunniang quietly put down the things in her hand and protected the little prince behind her.
If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, these two people must have something very important to do, otherwise they wouldn't have come at this juncture with such fanfare.
She stepped forward and asked politely, "The distinguished guests are here, and the Yunniang Palace is naturally full of flowers." I don't know if I came here today, what important things do I want Yun Niang to discuss? ”
Tuoba Truss looked at her, shook the teacup in his hand, and couldn't help but chuckle, "Do you know why among so many women in the Drunken Immortal Building, I wanted to pick you into this harem?" ”
"Naturally, it's because I'm beautiful and have good skills." Zhao Yunniang replied without thinking.
Tuoba Truss took a deep breath, "The reason why I chose you is because you are smart and know how to judge the situation. But now it seems that you have failed me in raising you. ”
As he said, Zhao Yunniang's face changed greatly, and she immediately felt that something was wrong, "It's Yunniang who has failed you, please point it out clearly." ”
The atmosphere in the room instantly subdued, and no one spoke.
Li Changge's eyes swept around, and he turned his wheelchair to the little prince's side, and gently picked him up.
In any case, this is nominally the younger brother of Tuoba Truss.
Zhao Yunniang's heart tightened, but she didn't want to say anything.
"Don't be so nervous, I won't do anything to such a young child." Li Changge smiled dumbly, and only heard her say in the next second, "But others are not necessarily." ”
Zhao Yunniang trembled as if she had been struck by a thunderbolt, "You mean ......"
"Whoever wants to put you to death so much, I don't need to say more." She gently shook the child in her hand, pinched his fingers lightly on his face, and carefully put him back in his original place.
Zhao Yunniang pushed her to the desk according to her thoughts, took out the paper from the pile of books on the side and handed it to her.
Li Changge was not polite, Long Feifeng wrote a line of words, and put the note on the table with a smile.
Zhao Yunniang walked over step by step, only feeling that every step weighed a thousand pounds.
She took the note, her face became heavier and heavier, and she lit it in front of the oil lamp, and watched it turn to ashes little by little, floating in the air.
"I've already said everything you need to say, and the people around you need to clean up. You don't need me to teach you how to do it, after all, the show will start soon. ”
Li Changge took out a porcelain vase from his arms and put it down, beckoning Tuoba Truss to leave the Funing Hall together.
Come without a trace, go without a trace.
Zhao Yunniang's eyes were fixed on the direction he left, and her mind was full of recalls of the contents of the note just now.
After some time, a terrible cry sounded from beside her, pulling her thoughts back to reality.
