Chapter Seventy-One: Destiny Is Hard to Disobey
Seeing this, Zhu Hao secretly said in his heart: "No wonder this old guy can deceive his father!" Looking at the appearance is really quite bluffing, if I didn't know the historical process, I'm afraid I would be bluffed by this old boy's appearance! ”
Zhu Hao knew that he couldn't stop it, so he glanced at Fang Congzhe fiercely, meaning to remind Fang Congzhe, remember what he said to him, and let him mediate from it, but Fang Congzhe didn't give Zhu Hao any response, which made Zhu Hao's heart suddenly a little colder.
Just when Zhu Hao reminded Fang Congzhe with his eyes, Queen Guo also stared at Zhu Hao fiercely, her eyes were full of warnings.
If Empress Guo's eyes just now were not obvious enough warnings, then the next words of Empress Guo clarified her meaning again, and she said to Cui Wensheng in a cold voice: "Gonggong Cui, you are the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi, and the most trusted person of His Majesty, this palace has asked you to stay here, you have to do your duty, don't let anyone disturb Your Majesty's recuperation!" After finishing speaking, Empress Guo paused slightly, and then continued murderously: "Considering the complexity of the personnel in the palace, this palace is now under your power to cut first and then play!" If anyone comes to make trouble in front of the Qianqing Palace, no matter who it is, they will be killed! ”
After Empress Guo finished speaking, she took Fang Congzhe and Li Kezhuo into the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Hao glanced at Zhu Youxiao, and left the Qianqing Palace in a stupid manner, compared to the feeling of loss when Zhu Youxiao left, Zhu Hao was more of a sense of powerlessness, he tried his best to stop his father, don't take red pills, but in the end he was powerless to change anything, all these reasons, Zhu Hao is due to his own strength is too weak, no strength, no right to speak, this sentence is applicable anytime and anywhere.
Zhu Hao was in a very bad mood, although he was lying on the bed in the dormitory, he didn't feel sleepy at all, he was thinking about what he would do if he didn't have his father's protection in the future.
Just when Zhu Hao was tossing and turning in his bedroom, a thing was about to happen in the Qianqing Palace that shocked the world and moved future generations, Taichang Emperor Zhu Changluo was about to take the immortal medicine that killed him.
Zhu Changluo lay on the dragon couch with a pale face, looking at Fang Congzhe and Li Kezhuo brought in by Queen Guo, and the other party Congzhe who was very dissatisfied said: "Sir, I entrust my life to Mr., why does Mr. care about my life?" I have even made two holy decrees, but Mr. has turned a deaf ear, should Mr. give me an explanation? ”
When Fang Congzhe heard this, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty is angry, this immortal medicine is too ethereal, and the ministers have been discussing the feasibility of this matter with the ministers for a moment, in order to be cautious, and have not delayed for a moment!" Please also Your Majesty to be clear! ”
Zhu Changluo listened to Fang Congzhe's words, and continued to ask with some dissatisfaction: "Mr. has been discussing with the ministers for so long, I don't know what progress there is?" ”
Fang Congzhe listened to Zhu Changluo's words, and hurriedly replied: "Back to Your Majesty, after discussing with the ministers, they all think that the theory of immortal medicine is still not credible, Your Majesty, please think twice, don't be gullible!" ”
Zhu Changluo snorted coldly and looked at Li Kezhuo, who was kneeling behind Fang Congzhe, and asked, "Li Aiqing, this immortal medicine is your offer, and it is also what you obtained, you talk to me, is this immortal medicine credible or not?" ”
When Li Kezhuo heard this, he hurriedly kowtowed respectfully and said: "Your Majesty, this elixir is a gift from an immortal chief when the minister was young when he was collecting medicine in Mount Emei, and the medicinal materials are all collected from the fairyland of the gods, which can cure all diseases!" I guarantee with my life that this elixir is absolutely credible! ”
Empress Guo on the side listened to Li Kezhuo's words, and said with some disbelief: "You take one first, if it's okay, Your Majesty can take it!" ”
Zhu Changluo knew that Empress Guo was also for her own good, so she didn't say anything, Li Kezhuo saw that the emperor and queen all had doubts, so he followed Empress Guo's words and took a pill by himself first.
Zhu Changluo listened to Li Kezhuo's vow, and then looked at Li Kezhuo's appearance of a fairy wind bone, and at the same time, Li Kezhuo personally tested the medicine just now, so he immediately sat up and said, "Okay!" I believe in Li Aiqing's words! I'm terminally ill, what's the harm in trying it, if the sky is too long for me, this elixir will definitely have a miraculous effect! Saying that, Zhu Changluo paused, and then said in a firm tone: "Li Aiqing, take out the immortal medicine and take it with me!" ”
As Zhu Changluo's words came out, no one noticed that Concubine Zheng, who was standing in the distance, had a glint in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth moved slightly.
Li Kezhuo listened to Zhu Changluo's words, took out a very simple brocade box from his body, took out a red "elixir" in the brocade box, and after dissolving it with water, handed it to Zhu Changluo to take.
Zhu Changluo took the utensils handed by Li Kezhuo and drank the dissolved "elixir". After Zhu Changluo took the "elixir", after a while, he opened his eyes, sat up, seemed to be much healthier all of a sudden, a smile appeared on his face, and he praised repeatedly: "Sure enough, it is an immortal medicine, an immortal medicine!" At the same time, he praised: "Li Kezhuo is a great loyal minister!"
Zhu Changluo said, leaned out of the bed and shouted, "Li Kezhuo!"
Li Kezhuo replied softly when he heard this: "Weichen is here!"
Zhu Changluo said with a smile: "I took the elixir really worked, please take another pill tomorrow, and you will probably be cured!"
When Li Kezhuo heard this, he immediately replied: "There is still a pill of elixir in the minister's house, but the immortal chief once instructed that after the first pill is taken, the interval of twelve hours, and then the second pill, and the minister should offer the elixir after tomorrow."
Zhu Changluo was in a good mood when he heard this: "This is very good, when I get better, I will definitely give you an official promotion!"
Zhu Changluo's situation after taking the red pill soon reached Zhu Hao's ears, and he had the impression that his father passed away after taking the red pill, but he didn't expect that there would be signs of improvement, which was really a miracle, and finally Zhu Hao identified this incident as his prayer moved the heavens.
Originally, Zhu Hao wanted to visit his father after noon this day, but he went to the East Palace to find his eldest brother, but was told that his eldest brother had been grounded by the queen and was not allowed to leave the East Palace. Stubbornly blocked back, but Zhu Hao could only return to the dormitory and let Wei Xiaobao closely monitor the Qianqing Palace.
In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Changluo seemed to have been half driven away at once since he ate Li Kezhuo's "elixir". On this day, in addition to often sitting in front of the dragon case to recuperate, he actually walked out of the temple gate twice.
On the other hand, Fang Congzhe was uneasy in the mansion, a few days ago, under the urging of the emperor, he had to lead Li Kezhuo into the palace to offer medicine, although it had an effect at that time, but with his years of experience, and Yingying's original words, he always felt that this seemed to be caused by psychological effects, not necessarily the miraculous effect of medicine.
After returning to the mansion, several confidants came to inquire about the situation, and they all persuaded Fang Congzhe not to lead Li Kezhuo into the palace again. Especially in this group, several of the imperial doctors of the imperial hospital, they almost unanimously denied the role of the "elixir", they said that if the first assistant asked Li Kezhuo to send any "elixir", they would collectively resign, after all, there was something wrong with the emperor's dragon body, and they were the imperial doctors who could not escape the blame.
In fact, Fang Congzhe, who already knew the cause and effect of the matter, was of course unwilling to send any more elixir to the emperor, after all, Zhu Hao had told him before that he didn't want to bear the crime of killing the king!
I didn't want to think that just after noon on this day, Zhu Changluo sent someone to urge Fang Congzhe to urge the immortal medicine, and at the same time issued a holy decree, if the cabinet blocked the medicine, he would be punished for resisting the decree and bullying the king. Fang Congzhe listened to the content of the holy decree, and reluctantly summoned Li Kezhuo to the cabinet, and pulled Han Huoguang to accompany Li Kezhuo into the palace. Han Huoguang was a scholar of the Ministry of Rites and a scholar of Dongge University at the time, and participated in confidential affairs. It was another first and auxiliary minister, in fact, Fang Congzhe was afraid that he would take responsibility, so he pulled Han Huoguang in.
After entering the palace, just after the time of arrival, Li Kezhuo once again operated as a day ago, and after Zhu Changluo took the medicine, he knelt down and pleased: "Your Majesty's dragon body has not healed, please go to bed and rest!" ”
When Zhu Changluo heard this, he smiled heartily, and then waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "No need, I am in good spirits today, Li Aiqing has contributed to the medicine, and I will be rewarded in the future!"
After Zhu Hao heard the news in the room, he had a bad feeling in his heart for some reason, the sky was always dark clouds these days, and there was a faint sound of thunder, all of which seemed to indicate something.
Although Zhu Hao was worried, because he barely closed his eyes for two days, he lay on the bed and fell asleep unconsciously.
I don't know when the sky suddenly remembered a thunderstorm, waking up Zhu Hao, who had just fallen asleep, Zhu Hao turned over and fell asleep, walked down from the bed, through the window, looking at the sky that didn't know when, it was already raining lightly, and there was an inexplicable sadness in his heart.
Looking at the dark sky, Zhu Hao shouted to the waiter who was keeping vigil outside the door, "What time is it?" ”
As Zhu Hao's voice fell, there was a response outside the door: "Return to Your Highness!" It's already five watches! ”
Zhu Hao was shocked when he heard this, and exclaimed: "The fifth watch on September 26 of the first year of Taichang? ”
The night guard outside the door thought that Zhu Hao was talking to him, so he responded: "Your Highness is right, today is September 26!" It's almost the end of the month! ”
……
As soon as the vigil attendant's words were finished, Wei Xiaobao ran in from outside the door, with rain or tears on his face, and cried and said, "Your Highness, Emperor Daxing has returned to heaven!" ”
Zhu Hao listened to Wei Xiaobao's words and didn't say anything, he finally understood why he was restless, his body shook in place, and he almost got it, and said secretly in his heart: "Is the destiny really difficult to disobey?" Is it really irresistible? ”
