During the emperor's semi-coma in the palace, a person in Cui's mansion was also like a lost soul, although the whole family was sad and frightened, but no one's grief was as deep as his, and whose fright was not as strong as his.

In the blink of an eye, Cui Teng lost everything, first the emperor was assassinated in front of him, and before he could come back to his senses, he got the news that Zhang Qinyan was dead, and ran to his father's room, only to see his sister Cui Xiaojun crying silently, and his father Cui Hong spit out a mouthful of old blood, and the injury became more serious just a few minutes......

This assassination destroyed the Cui family, and even the Southern Army, which supported Cui Hong the most, remained silent, did not send anyone to visit the general's injuries, and there was no abnormal movement.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of Su guards surrounded Cui's mansion, and they were not allowed to go out, and the people in the mansion were not allowed to move around at will, which was no different from imprisonment, Cui Teng could only stay in his room, and felt that the sky was falling for a while, and for a while he felt that there was still hope.

Time passed little by little, he finally accepted his fate, and found that what he missed the most was Zhang Qinyan, he was in the stage of extreme infatuation, and was suddenly forcibly cut off, and this infatuation fell into his heart and it was difficult to give up.

So he drank, he cried, he recited poetry, and if he couldn't chant his own poems, he would chant other people's poems, and if he couldn't chant himself, he would let the servants chant for him, and he only felt that every one of them was telling the story of him and Zhang Qinyan.

His sentimentality did not last long, and on the third day of the siege of Cui's Mansion, the real hostess of Cui's Mansion, Lao Jun, who was over seventy years old, unfortunately passed away.

Lao Jun is very old and in good health, but looking at her strength to scold everyone every day, everyone thinks that she can live a long life, at least to eighty.

Lao Jun is in charge of the Cui family with a spirit that does not admit defeat, and he is also very angry because of this heart, and the assassination hit her particularly hard.

The emperor's visit in person should have been a symbol of the Cui family's ascension to the top again, but as a result, the Cui family fell into the abyss.

Lao Jun was not convinced, because this assassination was not planned by the Cui family at all, it was completely a bolt from the blue, and when the news first came, she didn't believe it at all, and she didn't accept the fact until she saw the assassin who was killed and the emperor who was unconscious.

But she could not accept such an outcome.

Cui Teng missed Zhang Qinyan, Cui Xiaojun remembered the emperor, and Cui Hong tried his best to inquire about the news, only Lao Jun did not make trouble, summoned all the servants around Cui Teng one by one, left his great-grandson Cui Ge by his side, and asked about the situation of the day little by little.

The master of Cui's house could not move around at will, and the servants were relatively free, and Cui Ge was frightened, and under the comfort of his great-grandmother, he slowly improved, and was finally able to tell the details of the situation at that time, although the language was not smooth enough, the meaning was still very clear.

The Cui family was used, and it was used by a group of robbers, after Lao Jun understood, he was angry, and cursed for a whole day, scolding the robbers for being insidious and shameless, scolding women for being a disaster, scolding Cui Teng for not having long eyes, scolding his daughter-in-law for not taking care of Cui Teng, scolding his son Cui Hong for not being strong enough, scolding Xiaojun for not having the ability, not being able to give birth to a prince, and not being able to win the emperor's heart......

She began to scold her husband who had been dead for many years, scolded the underworld, scolded the gods in the sky, and in the last half an hour, she even secretly scolded the queen mother and the emperor in the palace.

The people around him had already been scolded and ran, only two maids were guarding outside, and suddenly found that their ears were quiet, and they thought they were deaf, and waited for a while before they entered the house with fear, and saw Lao Jun falling to the ground, pushing and not moving, and then probing his nose, he was already out of breath.

The Cui family couldn't even mourn, but fortunately, the thing was ready a few years ago, put Lao Junsheng into the funeral, parked in the hall, and waited for news from the palace.

Cui Teng was summoned in the palace, and everyone in the palace sighed in their hearts, if it was the queen who was summoned, it meant that the emperor was likely to wake up, but the person who was called now was Cui Teng, and it was likely that he would continue to interrogate the assassination, which was definitely not a good sign.

Cui Teng could only throw away the poetry collection and say goodbye to his family one by one, "I caused the disaster, I bear it alone, mother, please take good care of my father and sister, please take care of my body, as long as I can come back alive, I will definitely ask you about Your Majesty's situation." ”

Mother and sister just cried, Cui Teng didn't dare to see his father, and left with the eunuch sent by the palace.

Wanting to inquire about the news in the palace is wishful thinking, except for the necessary instructions, no one dares to talk to Cui Teng at all, and the former acquaintances are all cold at this time, as if they don't know him as a person.

Cui Teng was sent to a room, and he waited for more than half a day, no one delivered food, and there was only half a pot of herbal tea on the table, and it didn't take long for him to transfer it to the night pot under the bed.

The longer he waited, the more scared Cui Teng became, and this fear even overwhelmed the nostalgia for Zhang Qinyan, "I'll just say that I was deceived, Zhang Qinyan was given to me by the emperor, what's the matter with me?" Yes, yes, I was deceived, the Cui family was deceived, but first of all, the emperor was deceived......"

Cui Teng muttered alone, and in the evening, another eunuch finally arrived, and as soon as he entered the house, he frowned and covered his nose, as if he smelled something.

"You didn't let me go out, what can I do? I can't hold it back. Cui Teng argued.

The eunuch didn't shake his head, "Come with me." ”

"Where are you going?"

The eunuch did not answer, turned around and walked out, urging at the door: "What are you waiting for? Since you have entered the palace, you have to abide by the rules of the palace. ”

Cui Teng almost wanted to cry and beg for mercy, but then he was ruthless, raised his head and followed, and said loudly: "I'm not afraid!" ”

Cui Teng had only been to the periphery of the palace before, and had never entered the inner palace, walking around, and soon got lost, unable to distinguish between the southeast and the northwest, and only felt that the more he walked, the fewer people he saw, and the fear in his heart gradually rose, and he even wanted to escape, but the two eunuchs in front led the way, and the four guards behind him followed, and he didn't dare to deviate half a step.

Finally came to the door of a large courtyard, the plaque on it was written in big characters, and before he could recognize it, the guards behind him pushed it, and Cui Teng staggered across the threshold and entered the courtyard.

He waited another hour in the courtyard, and the cold wind blew his face, so cold that his teeth trembled, his snot flowed, and his pride disappeared cleanly, and then if anyone came out to ask him to confess anything, he would nod his head, and ask only for a thicker cotton coat, preferably to enter a warm house with a charcoal basin.

Even if Zhang Qinyan is still alive, Cui Teng is willing to exchange it for warmth.

A eunuch came out and beckoned to Cui Teng, signaling that he could enter the house.

Cui Teng turned around and nodded to the four guards who had been standing behind, admiring that they were more resistant to freezing than himself.

The room was warm, and Cui Teng felt that he was melting from head to toe.

A large group of people looked at him coldly, including eunuchs and palace maids, and some outsiders, Cui Tengchong nodded with a smile at everyone, hoping to please everyone and let him stay in the house for a while.

The eunuch pointed to the door of the inner room, "Go in." ”

"Yes, yes, okay." Cui Teng trembled inside.

There was a strong smell of medicine in the room, and there was only one eunuch and two people who looked like guards.

Cui Teng still smiled and nodded, until his eyes turned to the bed, and immediately put away his smile, suddenly understanding how stupid he was, how could he laugh when the emperor was assassinated and his life and death were unknown? It should be painful.

Before he could brew a sad look, a weak voice came from the bed, "Cui Teng? ”

"It's me, yes, it's Your Majesty?" Cui Teng was taken aback, and then ecstatic, the emperor was not dead, and the Cui family was saved.

Cui Teng stepped forward and wanted to pounce, but was stopped by a guard who stretched out his hand, the guard did not speak, but the meaning was very clear, Cui Teng could only stay at the door, not allowed to approach the bed.

Cui Teng knelt on the spot, "Your Majesty, I am Cui Teng, I am Cui Teng, **** night and night, I think about Your Majesty all the time, tossing and turning, sleeping...... I really can't sleep. ”

There was no sound on the bed, Cui Teng waited for a while, looked at the eunuch and the guards in confusion, and got no response, he could only kneel there and continue to wait.

"Cui Teng?" Voices came from the bed again.

Cui Teng was stunned for a moment, and replied blankly: "It's me, Your Majesty." ”

The eunuch stepped forward and waved Cui Teng to get up and approach the bed.

Cui Teng slowly stood up, slowly walked to the bedside, and finally saw the emperor by the dim candlelight.

The emperor was also looking at him, but his eyes were glazed, as if he did not recognize him.

"Your Majesty...... I'm Cui Teng. ”

The emperor did not react, and after a while, he closed his eyes, as if asleep.

No one told Cui Teng what was going on and what to do, he had to stand there and look at the emperor, and suddenly sadness came from it, this time he was really sad for the emperor, and it had nothing to do with Zhang Qinyan and the tragic situation at home.

The emperor opened his eyes again, and said the same sentence, "Cui Teng? ”

Cui Teng nodded, tears welling up, "Your Majesty, I'm Cui Teng, the queen is still at home, she thinks about it day and night, her eyes are about to cry, Your Majesty, get better quickly." ”

The emperor still did not react.

The eunuch took Cui Teng's wrist, pulled him aside, and whispered, "Your Majesty has been saying your name all day long." ”

Cui Teng recognized the eunuch and asked, "Rong Gong, I have already come, why is Your Majesty ......?"

Rong Huamin motioned for Cui Teng to follow him outside to speak.

The four guards also entered the house, and Cui Teng was brought to the four again, and he felt bad.

Rong Huamin raised his voice slightly, "The imperial doctor thinks that although His Majesty is showing signs of improvement, he is too frightened, and he is afraid that his mind is a little confused." ”

"Impossible." Cui Teng said categorically, "Your Majesty is very courageous, what scene have you never seen?" How can it be 'overly frightened'? ”

Rong Huamin sighed, and then said, "Your Majesty remembers your name, so he must be puzzled by something." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Why did you collude with the Assassins?"

Cui Teng was shocked, and his voice suddenly raised, "I didn't!" You framed! Your Majesty never meant that! ”

"That's the only explanation." Rong Huamin said coldly, and with a wave of his hand, two guards stepped forward and pressed Cui Teng's shoulder.

"It's not true, I'm a liar." Cui Teng cried and said, there was no resistance.

It's still so cold outside, but Cui Teng can't feel it anymore, he is both aggrieved and scared, and he really feels that the sky is falling.

Instead of being sent back to his original room, he came to a cell, which was the place where the palace people were imprisoned, and the conditions were much better than the real cell outside, but for the current Cui Teng, it was tantamount to hell.

He lay on the bed and cried for a while, and then defended himself, and once wanted to commit suicide, but there were no tables and chairs in the house, and there was no way out.

In a daze, he still fell asleep, wrapped the thin quilt as tightly as possible, and his dreams were full of the prosperity of the past.

The moment he woke up, he was frightened and blurted out, "Don't kill me." ”

"Your Majesty asked me to give you a message."

Cui Teng sat up suddenly, and listened to the voice of a woman, as if she was familiar with it, "Miss Meng?" ”

"The emperor said that he needs you to suffer a little, bear with it, it won't be long."

Cui Teng was stunned.
