Chapter 180: Fake Death Pill
Usually it doesn't attract attention at all.
If it weren't for the instructor who trained the army to get drunk and hurt people in the wine shop in the capital, he happened to be caught by Dali Temple, and Chen Yin happened to be in Dali Temple that day, and he heard the instructor say a few drunken words and paid attention, but I was afraid that only when the prime minister used these soldiers to fight at the foot of the imperial city, they would find out that the prime minister was hiding soldiers.
Wang Shouming's fingers tapped the tabletop, his brows furrowed deeply.
Originally, the prime minister had gathered so many civil ministers was terrifying enough, and if he had private soldiers, it would be even more difficult for him to deal with.
And at this time, there are no troops in the capital that can fight against it, which undoubtedly makes the emperor seem to have a knife hanging on his head every day.
Wang Shouming thought about it, and his eyes swept to see Yancheng in the west of the capital.
What he said to the prime minister yesterday that Yancheng Iron Cavalry is powerful is not a lie, if it can really make this Yan King willing to act for the emperor, he can solve today's predicament.
It's just that this King Yan doesn't know why, he has not been in contact with the court for so many years, and he is a fief in Yancheng, and he is stable, as if he doesn't care about how the world is.
Wang Shouming was pondering when he suddenly heard a knock on the door outside.
Wang Shouming put the drawings in his hand in the secret compartment of the bookshelf and hid them before opening his mouth to let people outside.
The person who came in was his personal guard, "Lord Wang, this is the emperor's reply to you." ”
As soon as he returned from the prime minister's mansion yesterday, he wrote a letter of trustee and sent it to the emperor.
Wang Shouming took the letter from the guard, read it carefully, and burned it in the candle flame on the side.
After the guards retreated, Wang Shouming rubbed his brows and went back to the room to rest.
Xu was too thrilling and tired in the past two days, and Wang Shouming fell asleep as soon as he touched his pillow.
The emperor in the palace also relaxed a little because of Wang Shouming's return.
Concubine Zhen finally had a good night's sleep last night, and people looked much better than yesterday.
The emperor leaned on the soft couch, and Concubine Zhen was seriously pinching her shoulders on the side.
"Now that Lord Wang is back, Your Majesty can also relax a little." Concubine Zhen said.
The emperor said, "Yes, he sent me a letter yesterday, saying that the prime minister will not march to the imperial city for the time being. ”
A smile appeared on Concubine Zhen's face, "That's great." ”
The emperor sighed, "Even so, it's just that now it's still a man-made sword, and I'm a fish and meat." ”
Concubine Zhen hurriedly comforted, "The emperor is the true son of heaven, so naturally he can turn the danger into a disaster at any time." ”
The emperor smiled bitterly, "Any true son of heaven is bluffing." If I had asked Lao Liu to be the emperor back then, I don't know if this emperor would have been better than me with his character. ”
Concubine Zhen said, "The emperor must not think like this, but he has to be energetic to deal with those who have bad intentions." ”
The emperor said, "I also know, but in the past two days, when I dreamed back at midnight, I always saw you and the fetus in your womb falling into the hands of the prime minister, which made me feel more painful than Ling Chi Zhen." The emperor closed his eyes.
Concubine Zhen hurriedly covered the emperor's mouth, "What stupid thing does the emperor say, the concubines and the prince will accompany the emperor safely and smoothly." ”
At this time, a little orange chubby cat on the ground next to him ran after his tail, and finally fell to the ground, looking cute.
The emperor happened to see this scene, and a smile appeared on his face, "When did you raise such a small animal in the palace, it can relieve fatigue." ”
Concubine Zhen smiled when she saw the emperor, and said with a smile, "When I passed by the imperial garden yesterday, I happened to see it and thought it was very smart and cute, so I brought it over and raised it." ”
The kitten seemed to hear Concubine Zhen talking about it, so she jumped on Concubine Zhen's lap and obediently lay on Concubine Zhen's lap.
The emperor touched its short hair a few times, teased it, and felt a little better.
After a while, the palace man next to him came over with a bowl of fetal medicine.
The emperor saw it, "Okay, you should drink the fetal pill quickly." ”
Concubine Zhen took the medicine in her hand and said coquettishly, "This medicine is bitter to death, and I don't know if the imperial doctor put a few catties of Coptis chinensis in it." “
The emperor said, "Good medicine is good for disease, you are depressed these days, the imperial doctor said that your fetal image is a little unstable, if you don't raise your body quickly, what can you do if the little prince born in the future is unhealthy." “
The emperor wanted to take the bowl of fetal medicine and feed Concubine Zhen in person.
At this time, the kitten approached and sniffed the good night fetal pill, and suddenly its whole body exploded, jumped to the ground and hunched its waist, and kept screaming fiercely at the good night fetal pill.
The emperor and Concubine Zhen looked at each other, and the emperor wondered, "What's wrong with it." ”
Concubine Zhen's face also flashed with surprise, and she put the fetal pill on the table next to her and wanted to hug the cat.
Who knew that the cat avoided Concubine Zhen, and still kept calling at the fetal pills.
Only then did Concubine Zhen feel the strangeness of the bowl of fetal medicine, took off the silver hairpin on her head, and put it in the bowl of tocolytic medicine.
After a while, he took out the silver hairpin and looked at it, and saw that the place where the silver hairpin touched the bowl of fetal pills had turned completely black.
Concubine Zhen covered her mouth, her eyes full of horror.
The emperor also walked over, glanced at the silver hairpin, and his expression changed greatly, "They are even thinking about doing something to you now!" ”
Concubine Zhen was already frightened and slumped into her chair, "If it weren't for this kitten today, I'm afraid I would have been poisoned to death by now."
The emperor's hands were clenched into fists, and the look in his eyes was uncertain, and he suddenly called the palace maid outside to come in and asked who boiled the medicine today.
The palace maid saw that the emperor's color was not good, and she trembled and said, "Back to the emperor, this medicine is like red today." ”
The emperor and Concubine Zhen glanced at each other, and instantly remembered who it was like red before.
The palace maid knelt on the ground, seeing that the emperor had not spoken for a long time, she was a little scared in her heart, but she heard the emperor's angry voice, "Let Ruhong go to the palace maid to receive the punishment, a bowl of medicine is so bitter, do you want to die bitterly!" ”
The palace maid breathed a sigh of relief, and hurried out after answering.
Concubine Zhen understood what the emperor meant, "Your Majesty is right, in this situation, it is not suitable to startle the grass and snakes, and you can't have a green attack." ”
The emperor's eyes were full of gloom, and he pondered for a moment, and finally said as if he had decided something, "Now this palace is already very dangerous, it seems that I want to send you out of the palace, and I will take you back when everything is settled." ”
Concubine Zhen said, "Your Majesty, the concubine wants to face the hardships with you. ”
The emperor said, "I know your intentions, but if you are in this palace now, the prime minister will not attack me for the time being, but not necessarily for you." If you were to be assassinated by a traitor, I would be a hundred times more painful than if you were in danger. ”
Concubine Zhen's eyes flashed with tears, "The concubine is willing to obey His Majesty's arrangement." It's just that now how can the concubines leave the palace? ”
Darkness flashed in the emperor's eyes, he picked up the bowl of fetal medicine and poured it into the soil of the bonsai on the side, "Concubine Zhen drank this bowl of fetal medicine today and has died." Tonight, you will secretly change into the eunuch's clothes and follow my personal eunuch out of the palace. I will let Wang Shouming wait for you there. ”
Concubine Zhen's eyes were full of reluctance, but she still said, "The concubine listens to Your Majesty for everything." “
The emperor nodded, immediately sat down at the table, and quickly wrote a letter for the secret guard to deliver to Wang Shouming.
With that, he slashed his sword at his arm, and the wound overflowed in an instant.
The emperor wiped those thanks on Concubine Zhen's collar and chin, pretending that she was "vomiting blood".
Then he let her lie down on the couch and close her eyes.
Finally, he took out a delicate small box from a very deep hidden compartment in the desk next to him, and a black pill came out of it, and said to Concubine Zhen, "This is a fake death pill that I accidentally obtained in my early years, if you eat this, you will sleep like a dead man, but you will wake up after a day." ”
Concubine Zhen took a deep look at the emperor, and then ate the pill without hesitation.
The emperor took the pill next to him, threw it on the ground, and shouted with anger, "Imperial Doctor Xuan." ”
After a while, the room was in a lot of noise.
In the side hall on the other side, he seemed to be lying comfortably on the soft couch, and when he heard the noisy movement from the main hall next to him, a fine light crossed his eyes.
At this moment, a cowering figure walked in from the door, and it was like red.
Ruhong came in, and Ruecui didn't raise her eyes to look at her, but asked, "Everything is done?" ”
Ruhong bit her lower lip and replied, "Hui Niangniang, Concubine Zhen Niangniang drank the drugged fetal pill and fainted from poisoning, and the emperor was calling the imperial doctor at this time." ”
Rucui's face was full of pride, "Good! I see how this concubine is still proud in front of me. ”
A moment later, a small guard rushed in at the door.
Seeing his hurried appearance, she guessed what was going on with him, but she still asked casually, "What's wrong?" Ran in so anxiously. ”
The guard replied, "Niangniang, Concubine Zhen was poisoned after drinking a bowl of fetal medicine and died, and the emperor is investigating this matter thoroughly." It is said that everyone in this Fuzhen Palace went to the main hall, and the emperor wanted to question. ”
A different color flashed in Rucui's eyes, "Got it, you go down." ”
The little guard went down, and the corners of her mouth hooked up with a vicious smile, "She actually died like this, but it was cheap for her." ”
Ruhong was a little scared, "Niangniang, what should we do if the emperor finds out that we did this?" ”
Hearing this, she suddenly got off the soft couch and slowly walked to her side, the smile on the corner of her mouth was frightening.
Raised his head tremblingly, "Niangniang......"
Emerald lifted her chin, "We? How about us? Aren't you alone in this? ”
It seems that the red heart is horrified, and the eyes are full of incredulity, "It's obviously ......"
Rucui continued to say slowly, "It was you who were dizzy for a while, and accidentally put that poison into Concubine Zhen's fetal pills, which has nothing to do with this palace." “
Looking at the frightened and resentful expression on Yihong's face, she suddenly let go of her hand, and she almost fell to the ground.
