When the emperor was assassinated in Cui's mansion, Cai Xinghai was in charge of the perimeter guard of the day, and had nothing to do with the assassins who had already infiltrated the palace, even so, he still underwent some interrogation before gaining the trust of the Empress Dowager Cining, and the official was reinstated, and the first thing he did was to select five guards from the camp to be sent to Cining Palace. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

These five people have all practiced internal skills, nominally to protect the queen mother, but the real task is to heal the emperor.

The three imperial doctors were finally temporarily relieved, but they were still not pardoned and were reprimanded by the Empress Dowager Cining.

"Your Majesty's symptoms have been appearing for many days, why didn't you explain the situation earlier?"

The three imperial doctors kowtowed to the guilt, and the first imperial doctor was the most responsible, so he had to explain, "I, I am not an expert in treating this or this kind of internal injury, and, and I really can't think of it...... Your Majesty...... I have practiced internal skills. ”

The Empress Dowager Cining didn't expect it, but she still put the blame on the imperial doctor, "Aren't you known as a miracle doctor who cures all diseases?" Can't even think of such a thing? If your majesty is fine, you will escape, but if the diagnosis is wrong, even if there is a slight problem, you will not escape the death penalty. ”

The imperial doctor can only kowtow and dare not defend.

Five guards arrived one after another, each of them had to go through three body searches, and met the queen mother alone, and they were all surprised when they heard that the emperor was going to treat his internal injuries.

After reading it, the five people had different attitudes, either affirmative, cautious, or hesitant, but the conclusions were almost the same, consistent with the judgment of the imperial doctor: the emperor was indeed in chaos.

The Queen Mother finally believed.

The three royal physicians were called in and gathered with the five guards to discuss the safest and most effective way to heal the wounds.

Shortly after noon, the healing began, and two guards gently lifted the emperor, one of the guards massaged the acupuncture points around the emperor's body to help him restore his internal breath, and two guards were on standby, taking turns to replace their companions.

The treatment of internal injuries is like sorting out a mess, the most taboo is impatient, upset, can only be carried out little by little, they expect to see the first effect after a whole day, at least three days to have obvious results.

The three imperial doctors prescribed medicine to nourish the body and cooperate with the healing, and they also had an important duty, to explain the healing process to the Empress Dowager Cining, so that she should not worry, especially let her not be suspicious.

"During the healing period, or when there is danger, don't worry about the Queen Mother, the eight of us work together to ......"

Empress Dowager Cining said coldly: "I only look at the final result. ”

With this sentence, the imperial doctor and the guards were satisfied.

The Empress Dowager Cining personally supervised for a while, and a resting guard cautiously reminded: "The Empress Dowager is like a rainbow, I'm afraid it is not conducive to healing." ”

Empress Dowager Cining snorted, even if she didn't understand martial arts, she knew that this was nonsense, and it was true that the guards were too nervous with her present.

She sent two eunuchs and a palace maid from her cronies to stay, left by herself, rested for a while, and decided to summon Meng E.

Meng E's hands were tied, and she was brought in by four female guards, and after bowing to the Empress Dowager Cining, she was allowed to get up.

Seeing the real person, the Empress Dowager Cining was a little surprised, and a little disappointed, it turned out that this Meng E was not a beautiful woman, she was only ordinary in terms of appearance, and she was obviously older than the emperor, although she kowtowed according to the rules and asked for peace, but her face was arrogant, and she was not humble and cautious at all.

The emperor would actually favor such a woman, the Empress Dowager Cining really couldn't think of a reason, looked Meng E up and down a few times, and asked directly: "Your Majesty has been fortunate to you?" ”

Ordinary women usually blush when they are asked about this kind of thing, but Meng E's face did not change and shook her head: "No." ”

"If I find out you're not a virgin......"

Meng E's face finally showed a hint of shyness, "Willing to be punished by death." ”

The Empress Dowager Cining would not do this, but she became more and more curious, "Who taught the emperor internal strength?" ”

"Me."

"Why did you do that?"

Meng E was silent for a while, "When Your Majesty first entered the palace to claim the title of emperor, he had nothing, and I hope he can have a skill." ”

"Insider?"

"Even if you can't save yourself, you won't be powerless to fight back."

Empress Dowager Cining finally understood a little reason, she could imagine how lonely and frightened her son was when she was a puppet in the palace, this woman took advantage of the situation, and a needle given to the emperor at that time can now be worth a thousand gold.

She trusted Meng E a little more, waved her hand, and motioned for the palace maid to untie the rope.

Meng E rubbed her wrist, no thanks.

"Without internal strength, there will be no internal chaos, and your internal strength has harmed Your Majesty." Empress Dowager Cining felt that everyone was responsible for the emperor's condition.

"Yun Mengze's assassin martial arts are very strong, if Your Majesty hadn't practiced internal skills, he would have been killed at that time."

Empress Dowager Cining snorted in her heart, this woman is not small, and the so-called observance of the rules is only superficial.

"In what capacity are you staying with Your Majesty now?"

"Ordinary palace maids."

The Empress Dowager Cining asked the female official standing on the side, "Is there her name in the palace register?" ”

The female official had already investigated Meng E, and immediately replied: "Meng E used to belong to the Jian Qianying Battalion, but she was removed from the list a few months ago, and she searched the palace books, but she had no name. ”

"Your Majesty is really careless, and he actually forgot to give the palace maid next to him a name." Empress Dowager Cining said.

Meng E didn't think it was a problem, so she didn't answer.

"Since none of you have anything to do with the Assassins, who is helping the Assassins?"

"Han Chou." Meng E did not have Jing Yao's secrets.

"There are a lot of people who say bad things about him, but they can't come up with evidence, do you have evidence?"

"If evidence is needed, why did the Queen Mother detain the people of the two provinces?"

The Empress Dowager Cining was furious, she was no longer the little girl ring in the past, nor was she the Wang Meiren who was hiding, she was the biological mother of the current Queen Mother and the emperor, this woman who was not even named in the palace register, dared to question her decision.

"What good is assassinating the emperor for Han Chou? He's been pleasing me for so long, is it just to cover up the stabbing driver? ”

Meng E shook her head, "Han Chou really wanted to please the Queen Mother at the beginning, hoping to please the emperor and stay in Luoyang forever. The Queen Mother was fooled, but His Majesty did not, and secretly arranged it to punish Han Chou. For Yun Mengze's aspirants, Han Chou was dissatisfied, this was a ready-made 'follow the trend', so he came to the door, and the two sides hit it off. ”

Empress Dowager Cining became more and more annoyed in her heart, and forcibly held back, "But Han Chou handed over the Qi Seeker called the Holy Army Master. ”

"That's because the whereabouts of the Holy Army Master have been exposed, Han Chou has to do this, the Holy Army Master sacrificed voluntarily, but even in prison, he is helping Han Chou get rid of suspicion."

"That's all your guess."

"The Holy Army Master is a Jianghu man, and so am I, I have seen him, I know him as a person, and His Majesty will believe in me."

The Empress Dowager Cining couldn't bear it anymore, "Take it down." ”

Meng E was escorted back to her place with no ropes tied to her hands.

Empress Dowager Cining didn't like Meng E at all, but after getting angry, she still thought carefully about Meng E's words.

Every once in a while, the eunuch who was in the emperor's room came to report the situation, and at dusk he brought good news, the emperor's face was not so red, and he closed his eyes, and really slept for a while, and the five guards were resting.

Empress Dowager Cining was a little relieved, and gradually calmed down, and began to reflect on her behavior in the past few days, if it weren't for her reaction being too fierce and pressing too all sides, Meng E would have healed the emperor a long time ago, and even the imperial doctor would not have guessed but didn't dare to say it.

As for Han Chou, it is still difficult for the Empress Dowager Cining to accept the conclusion that he is a traitor, Han Chou must be very corrupt and bribed, otherwise he would not be able to give so many expensive gifts to the Wang family, but he is stupid and cowardly, no matter how he looks at it, he doesn't look like someone who dares to participate in the assassination.

After nightfall, the Empress Dowager Cining could not feel at ease and sent someone to summon Jing Yao.

Jing Yao was locked in a prison in the palace, and he was soon escorted, and he has had a lot of ups and downs in the past few days, even a person like him who has seen the wind and rain feels dizzy and weak, and he slumps on the ground as soon as he enters the house.

"Tell me everything you know about Han Chou." Empress Dowager Cining ordered.

Jing Yao didn't know why, but he didn't dare to hide it anymore, and told all the information he had found out, these things still couldn't prove that Han Chou was directly related to the assassination, but everything he did, asking the merchant to destroy the IOU, hand over the Holy Army Division, etc., was reducing the emperor's vigilance.

The Empress Dowager Cining was silent, and at such a time, she had to admit that Han Chou was indeed very suspicious, and everyone else looked at her, only she was confused.

She didn't want to admit her mistake in front of the eunuch, so she ordered someone to take Jing Yao away, still locked up in prison, called the female official, and drafted a decree, summoning Han Chou tomorrow morning, she wanted to ask her face to face.

It was late, and it was inconvenient to leave the palace, so Yi Zhi stayed on the table and waited for it to be sent out early tomorrow morning.

For Han Chou, it was a sleepless night, during the day, when the interrogation of Meng E ended without a hitch, he had a premonition that the wind direction was changing, so he used all the connections in the palace to find out every move of the Empress Dowager Cining.

The five guards, Meng E, and Jing Yao were summoned to Cining Palace one after another, and Han Chou all got the news, and what made him most shocking was that it was rumored that the emperor might wake up.

All his plans were based on the idea that the Emperor would never wake up again, and once the Emperor was able to speak, the first thing he would do was probably to capture him.

Han Chou thought about it, and felt that he couldn't just sit still, so he immediately left the house, and went to meet the prime minister Shen Mingzhi first.

He went to the merchants again, and the merchants were very willing to see him, and when they opened their mouths to ask when they would be able to compensate for the damages, they had to burn the IOUs on a conditional basis, and when they talked about other things, they were all in a hurry.

Han Chou made an excuse to leave the hall and wanted to inquire about the movements in the palace again, but he couldn't find anyone to pass the message, and those people either closed the door or claimed that they couldn't enter the palace too late.

Han Chou finally understood that he was cornered, he had to leave the capital, return to Luoyang, and return to his own territory, where there was his family, his forces all over him, and a chance to fight back.

The next morning, the emperor finally woke up, still weak, but able to speak, the first person to look for was not the Empress Dowager Cining, not the traitor Han Chou, not the empress, not many cronies.

"Call Cui Teng."
