Chapter Seventy-Six: The Falling Dragon
On the side of the phoenix couch, a cloth-clothed Lang Zhong was concentrating on feeling the beating of Hu Bizhu's pulse between his fingers, Hu Bizhu on the couch and An Shu, who was standing beside him, were eagerly watching Lang Zhong's facial expression, but he didn't dare to speak out without permission, for fear of disturbing his thoughts.
At the time of a cup of tea, Lang Zhong shrank his hand and said with a happy face: "Congratulations to the queen, the queen is happy!" Caomin wishes the queen a smooth birth of a prince for my Great Wei! ”
Hu Bizhu's face was not happy but worried: "Are you sure?" ”
Lang Zhong played with his long beard, still immersed in the sense of accomplishment of seeing a doctor for the queen and didn't notice Hu Bizhu's strange expression at all: "Although the grass people's medical skills are not as good as the imperial doctors in the palace, there is nothing surprising about this happy pulse, and the grass people will not be wrong!" ”
Hu Bizhu exchanged glances with An Shu: "An Shu, take Mr. Zheng down to receive the reward!" ”
An Shu stepped forward: "Mr. Zheng, please come with the slave." ”
That Zheng Langzhong was flattered and followed An Shu excitedly. "The imperial doctors in the palace are all skilled, I don't know why the queen chose the grass people to treat her?" After all, Zheng Langzhong couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked questions.
An Shu looked like he was ignoring it: "Mr. Hui will naturally know!" ”
"Huh! Huh! Zheng Langzhong nodded again and again, and followed An Shu into a side room.
However, this Zheng Langzhong never dreamed that when he entered the room, he was greeted by a butcher's knife. With a knife to his throat, Mr. Zheng became a corpse, wrapped in a straw mat and carried out of the house by two guards, who did not know which dry well he would be thrown into or buried in which wood. Pity him when he died, he was still smiling, thinking that he had hit a great fortune, and even if he did not have a huge reward, at least he had the capital to brag to his peers.
An Shu returned to Hu Bizhu's side, with an anxious expression: "Queen, what should I do now?" There are many people in the palace, in case it reaches His Majesty's ears...... If you want to get rid of this child, you need to do it as soon as possible......"
Hu Bizhu stroked her lower abdomen, and her face was full of entanglement: "But this is the first child in this palace, and this palace is reluctant to ......"
An Shu: "The slave and maid understand, but the queen is a golden body, and it is impossible to hide so many pairs of eyes from the harem and give birth to a child, unless ......" suddenly had a flash of inspiration in her mind and an idea.
Hu Bizhu heard a glimmer of hope, and hurriedly asked: "Unless what?" ”
An Shu lowered his voice: "Unless Your Majesty thinks that this child is his!" ”
At this moment, above the court, Sun Chaozong presented the head of Yu Chenglie, and the Manchu Dynasty was full of joy and joy, and the mountain shouted long live.
Yuan Yao was also diluted by this good news and the depression caused by Cui Jiaren's death: "Huaihou has eliminated traitors for the country and made such immortal achievements, I am very relieved, and I should be rewarded!" ”
Sun Chaozong hurriedly knelt down to thank the Holy Grace: "The ministers thank Your Majesty for the reward!" He also presented a letter of recital, "This is the name of the meritorious soldiers of this battle played by Huaihou, and please take a look at it, among which General Guo Ru and General Bai Sang have sacrificed their lives for the country, if Your Majesty can posthumously seal it, it will be able to comfort the souls of the two generals in the sky, so as to inspire the front-line soldiers to serve the country even more!" ”
Yuan Yao took the fold from the eunuch's hand, a trace of unhappiness flashed in his eyes, and he flipped through it casually: "Han Yan, Jiang Rusong, Bai Sang, Guo Ru, Sun Wannian, Sun Wei, Sun He, Sun Chaozong...... If I'm not mistaken, it hasn't been long since Sun Wei and Sun He were sealed, right? ”
As soon as the words fell, Hu Shen shouted angrily at Sun Chaozong: "Bold Sun Rong! The mountain village man, lawless, how can someone take the initiative to ask for a reward! ”
Hu Shen opened his mouth first, and Hu Yuan, Yi Hangding, Wang Min and other his henchmen also spoke one after another to accuse Sun Chaozong.
In the end, Zhou Zhengzhi came out to play a round: "Your Majesty, merit must be rewarded, crime must be punished, this is the law that is not easy for eternity, but at this moment, the chaos is still unending, Sima Huaizhong is still in Hengzhou, and the worms in Yanzhou have not been evacuated, it is better to write down the merits for the time being, and wait for the peace of the four seas, and it is not too late to drive away the foreign criminals and then talk about meritorious deeds." ”
Yuan Yao motioned to the ministers to be quiet: "Sun Chaozong, you go back and tell Huaihou, just say that I will not forget the efforts of the front-line soldiers, the generals he played, the living will be rewarded with a thousand taels and a thousand horses of cloth; The deceased was transferred to his family and posthumously awarded the title of Taishou to show the favor of the imperial court! ”
When the Manchu Dynasty reprimanded Sun Chaozong, he was so frightened that he sweated and trembled, and at this moment he heard that Yuan Yaoyi rewarded everyone with a list, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although he only got some gold, silver and cloth, after all, he was given a step, so how dare he ask for anything. just kept scolding Han Yan in his heart: "What kind of military advisor is really nothing, what kind of test did you say to test the court's mind, and almost caused me to throw my life here." ”
After the dispersal of the dynasty, Yuan Yao's heart could not be calm for a long time, Hu Shen and his party still controlled the government, and Sun Rong began to swell again. Originally, I wanted to use him to suppress Hu Shen, but now it seems that if this balance is not grasped well, it is very likely to end up with a wolf at the front door and a tiger at the back door. The emperor's skill of controlling people is far from being as simple as words, and those who have not experienced it have not been able to appreciate it.
In a trance, An Shu hurriedly found Yuan Yao: "Your Majesty, the queen is suddenly sick, can you ask Your Majesty to move to visit?" ”
Yuan Yao was worried: "If she is sick, let her recuperate, but I will affect her rest." ”
An Shu suddenly knelt on his knees and reddened his eyes: "The queen is still talking about Your Majesty in her sickbed, if you can get Your Majesty's mercy, even if you say a few words to her, it will definitely be of great benefit to the queen's condition." ”
Seeing that she said so pitifully, Yuan Yao's heart softened and agreed.
When I came to Lantian Palace, I saw Hu Bizhu lying on the bed, her face haggard, and she didn't even notice Yuan Yao coming in.
"I heard you're sick, right?" Yuan Yao sat down on the edge of her bed.
"Your Majesty!" Hu Bizhu turned her head abruptly, pretending to be surprised, "Why are you here?" Just as they were talking, An Shu had secretly taken out a Sijun incense stick and lit it, turned around and wanted to withdraw.
Unfortunately, Yuan Yao happened to inadvertently see An Shu's action, and he was displeased: "An Shu, the queen is sick, so don't ask for any incense, take it!" ”
An Shu hesitated for a moment: "The slave knows the mistake!" In desperation, he removed the incense.
Anxiously retreated, An Shu was anxious at the door, while Yuan Yao and Hu Bizhu in the room fell into the embarrassment of having nothing to say.
After a while, Yuan Yao held back a sentence: "What kind of illness does the queen have?" ”
Hu Bizhu was also stunned: "I haven't asked the doctor for diagnosis and treatment." ”
Yuan Yao hurriedly got up: "How can this work?" I'm going to call the Imperial Doctor! "Actually, the main purpose is to take the opportunity to leave.
In a hurry, Hu Bizhu grabbed Yuan Yao's sleeve: "Your Majesty, what the concubine has is a heart disease, if Your Majesty can care more for the concubine, the concubine's illness will be cured without medicine." ”
Yuan Yao tried his best to get rid of Hu Bizhu: "Don't make trouble! ”
Hu Bizhu also let go: "The concubine didn't make trouble, since the concubine entered the palace, His Majesty has never pampered the concubine, and the concubine is depressed, so she has this disease." As he spoke, he went to pick up Yuan Yao's dragon robe.
Yuan Yao pushed Hu Bizhu away: "As the mother of a country, what kind of debauchery has it become!" ”
The push was too strong, and Hu Bizhu fell heavily on the bed and couldn't move for a long time. After all, Hu Bizhu was "sick", Yuan Yao was a little unbearable, and leaned over to help her get up: "I will treat today's incident as if it never happened, and I will find a doctor to treat you later, I hope you can recover as soon as possible." With that, he lifted his leg and walked to the door.
One step, two steps, Yuan Yao went farther and farther, Hu Bizhu became more and more panicked in his heart, and when he left here to find the imperial doctor, then he would be completely exposed and would never recover. Suddenly looked down and saw a pair of scissors resting on the edge of the bed, Hu Bizhu didn't have time to think about it, grabbed the scissors and rushed forward, stabbing Yuan Yao's neck fiercely.
Blood spurted, Yuan Yao covered his wounds, his expression distorted, and he was in great pain. He never imagined that Hu Bizhu would suddenly poison him, and looked at her in a daze, his eyes full of doubts. He didn't understand, and wanted to ask why, but at this time, the throat was full of blood, and he couldn't say it clearly, so he could only make some sounds similar to "grunt". Hu Bizhu didn't stop doing anything, and stabbed Yuan Yao's heart again, until Yuan Yao collapsed on the ground and couldn't move anymore.
Throwing down the scissors, Hu Bizhu sat next to Yuan Yao's corpse, shocked. After a long time, he slowly got up and called softly: "Anshu!" ”
No response.
She raised her voice slightly: "Anshu! ”
Still no response.
"Anshu!" The voice was almost shouted.
The door was pushed open, and An Shu, who was still very worried, entered the door and suddenly saw Yuan Yao lying in a pool of blood, and was about to scream, and his mouth was covered by Hu Bizhu. After De'anshu's body trembled less violently, Hu Bizhu whispered in her ear: "I killed Your Majesty......"
