。 First, although it was broad daylight, the emperor's bedroom was closed and surrounded by a thick curtain, but it was no different from night, and it had to be lit by those smokeless and fragrant dragon and phoenix candles. Under the faintly beating candlelight, Chen Hong's face was even more sinister and terrifying, and under his poisonous snake-like gaze, Cui Yan was sweating like a pulp, obviously in chaos.

Chen Hong didn't feel anything wrong. He knew that for this poor imperial doctor, no matter how he answered, he would face great psychological pressure, and if he admitted that the emperor still had hope, then if it collapsed, it would be all the doctor's responsibility, waiting for the burial; But it can't be said that there is no hope, so if the emperor recovers in the future, even if he wears the hat of a quack, it is not the same as a dead end?

The hall was as quiet as death, Chen Hong finally lost his patience, and said in a dark voice: "You are talking." ”

"It's not easy to say," Cui Yan wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve and said, "I need to observe for two more days before I can give my father-in-law an accurate big case." ”

"Then let's observe for two more days," Chen Hong lowered his eyelids and said, "I've been bothering Imperial Doctor Cui to live here for the past few days." As he spoke, he instructed left and right: "Let's take Imperial Doctor Cui down to rest first." ”

Two eunuchs flashed out of the darkness, came to Cui Yan and said, "Imperial Doctor Cui, please." Cui Yan sighed and had to be at his mercy.

After Cui Yan was escorted down, Chen Hong's eyes turned to the sick emperor, his expression was very complicated, sometimes distressed, sometimes afraid, sometimes hesitant, sometimes entangled, but when he touched the scar on his face, he thought of his lame leg. and those days and nights locked in the dog hole, Chen Hong's heart was occupied by snake-like resentment, and only resentment and madness remained in his eyes.

"Very well, this is what it looks like to become a big thing," a ghostly voice sounded behind him, and a man in a wide robe, big sleeves, and loose hair came out of the darkness.

Chen Hong didn't look back, he knew that it was Xiong Xian, the emperor's most favored monk, and also Yan Shifan's spokesperson, he didn't like this arrogant guy very much, because after a series of setbacks, Chen Hong already understood. A barking dog never bites, a person who can play conspiracy, and never ostentatious, so from the bottom of his heart, he looks down on this person.

Compare. , Chanwan

Xiong Xian felt good about himself. floated in front of Chen Hong, stared at him playfully, and said: "After all, he has been serving the master for decades, seeing his current appearance, is it a little distressed and unbearable?" ”

Chen Hong snorted. Don't look around and say, "Isn't that what we wanted?" ”

"That's right" Xiong Xian turned around and walked to Jiajing's dragon bed, picked up the emperor's clothes lightly, and said with a smile: "I was still thinking about how to get you seamlessly." I didn't expect you to cooperate so much, and I fell ill first, it seems that I am really exhausted."

"It's not that you hurt 7, Chen Hongxin said that the emperor's health was already very bad, but he was picked up by this Xiong Xian to tour the south. There is a way that it is difficult to go out for a thousand days at home, even if it is an emperor, it will be very tiring and hard to travel thousands of miles; In addition, it happened to be a hot and humid summer in the south, and it was rare for the emperor's body to not fall ill.

At this time, Jiajing's brows suddenly frowned slightly, and a muffled snort came out of his mouth, which frightened the bear to retract his hand and hide far away.

Glancing at him contemptuously, Chen Hong stepped forward. took off the wet wipes that were already hot on the emperor's head, opened a large copper box next to the bed, took out a white wet towel from the air-conditioned box, and carefully rested it on Jiajing's forehead, the emperor's expression was not so painful. The corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and he fell into a slumber again.

With a basin of changed towels, Chen Hong walked out of the emperor's bedroom, Xiong Xian quickly followed, and whispered: "What do you care about him?" If you return to the west one day earlier, King Jing will be able to become the emperor one day earlier, and we won't have to bother so much! ”

"Stupid," Chen Hong put down the copper basin. wiped his hands and said: "Xiong Ziqi, you have been in the mountains and forests all your life, and your style of behavior is a superior style in the eyes of the emperor, but in my opinion, it is a lantern in the pit." ”

"You're looking for death." Xiong Xian was dissatisfied: "Do you still want to carry out the original plan?" ”

"Of course." Chen Hong snorted and said, "Xiao Ge Lao didn't say no. "That's when you blocked the message." Xiong Xian said: "I said Gonggong Chen, there is such a big change now. But you didn't inform Xiao Ge Lao or Jing Wangye, I said you wouldn't have other ideas, right? ”

"I'm a eunuch, what can I think?" Chen Hong said: "Do you think this is going from house to house? The emperor died and the throne was inherited, and there could be no leakage in the middle; If you make a point, it is a big sin to lose your head and punish the nine clans! He said: "It's okay if the emperor dies naturally, and it's okay to be cured to death by quacks, but it must not be us, otherwise even if King Jing is on the throne, you and I will wait to be scapegoats!" ”

Xiong Xian's eyes widened and said, "It's impossible, we are heroes."

"The most useless of these is the hero." Chen Hong sneered: "What the nobles need is a lackey who works for them," the cunning rabbit dies, and the lackey cooks; The birds are all gone, and the good bow is hidden"! You've heard of that, right? ”

Xiong Xian said: "What do you want to say, can you order directly?" ”

"Until now." Chen Hong poked his chest and said: "All the things that lose his head are all dramas, and this person and the ring are all out of the way: if he just makes his old foundation innocent and not dusty, he will achieve his goal, and all the basins can only be served by us." Saying that, he shook his head and said: "This is absolutely not good, even if no one investigates the cause of the emperor's death in the future, they will kill people."

When he said this, Xiong Xian was really scared, and swallowed hard and spat out: "That." So what to do?.

Chen Hong was silent for a while, and then said quietly: "Act according to the original plan and hide this matter."

Can you hide it? Xiong Xian said: "Those two imperial doctors are easy to say, don't Yuan Wei also know?" ”

"Don't worry about Sister Yuan Chen Hongdao: "He also thinks." It's better not to leak the news. ”

"Why?" Xiong Xiandao.

Ignorant Chen Hong snorted lightly and said, "As long as the emperor is in the sky, King Jing has to be honest for a day." When that day comes, it's never too late to act. ”

"Then we will return to Beijing tomorrow as planned. Xiong Xian asked.

Well, Chen Hong nodded, slowly closed his eyes and said, "Ziqi, we are ants on a rope." So I won't hide it from you, as long as the emperor. No one can stir up the storm; So we'll have to wait and see, this problem can be solved by itself. Even if we have to, we can't do it.

Xiong Xian looked coldly at the unfathomable Gonggong Chen, and there was only one thought in his heart, this is the real master, "Actually, he really thinks highly of Chen Hong, this old eunuch is indecisive, hovering between doing it and not doing it." It's just that the word "killing kings" is too terrible, and if you want to take that step, you have to carry out more psychological construction.

Several flowers bloomed, one on each table, and said that Imperial Doctor Cui was escorted down by the eunuchs and locked up in an empty palace room, although there was no bedding, no covering, no food or drink, but there was an old acquaintance, Imperial Doctor Jin, who was detained three days ago.

Imperial Doctor Jin was in good spirits and did not suffer any torture, but he did not take a bath and change his clothes for three days in the summer, and the whole person was already rancid. As soon as he saw Cui Yan coming in, he hurriedly stepped forward and said enthusiastically, "You are here too."

Cui Yan pinched his nose and motioned for him to stand farther away. The urn said: "Lao Jin, when did the emperor fall ill?" ”

Imperial Physician Jin was quite shocked, shrunk his neck and said, "It was like that before I entered the palace," so the two compared the symptoms they had diagnosed, and found that the emperor's condition had deteriorated.

After reaching a conclusion, Imperial Doctor Jin said in disbelief: "No, if you follow my prescription." Even if it doesn't get better. But it shouldn't get worse. ”。 So to speak". Cui Yan sat cross-legged and said: "In the past three days, the emperor has not received the treatment he deserves, and he has only maintained it with ice to reduce fever," as soon as these words came out, the two of them were all stunned, judging from the experience of doctors, the current situation is very weird, if no one is making trouble behind, then it is really called hell.

Cui Yan touched his chest, and the strip of cloth was still tied there. It seems that Lord Shen is right, there are indeed people who want to risk the world's condemnation, but they have just been stared at, how can they have the opportunity to come up with this secret performance? Besides, the emperor is in a coma, even if he takes it out, what's the use?

Cui Yan is not only worried, but also doesn't know what to do.

There is also a flower to watch, that is Yuan Ge Lao, and it is said that he lost his soul and left the palace, so he was blocked by Gao Gong and others. Everyone asked him, how is the emperor's holy bow? Yuan Shiqiang smiled: "Of course, the holy bow is safe, you don't have to worry about it." ”

It's good to have nothing to do, the good old man Yan Ne smiled and said: "Let's all go back, if there is anything to ask to see the emperor tomorrow, everyone will say yes, even Gao Gong can't say anything else." When he was about to disperse, he heard Sister Yuan say again: "The emperor has an order." Tomorrow morning, the farewell ceremony with the villagers of Anlu will not be attended by the saint in person, and the official and Yan Butang will be the representatives. Then the team set off on time for lunch

Gao Gong, Chen Yiqin and others, who had no idea before, suddenly became suspicious again, but Sister Yuan was pulling the banner of the edict, and they couldn't question it, so they had to disperse depressedly.

After passing the test easily, Sister Yuan, but there was no trace of happiness, he knew very well that the difficult days were still to come" Looking back at the palace wall of Sensen, his heart couldn't help but be full of thoughts, he knew that this was a God-given opportunity, and it was the last chance to reinvigorate King Jing's salted fish, so he had to grasp it no matter what, but he also knew that this was even more of a fire in the fire, and if he didn't get it right, he would never recover, so he must be cautious, cautious, and cautious,

, hearty

Taking a deep breath and taking heavy steps, Yuan Shi got into the sedan chair and left, and a pair of eyes that were watching him in the dark also disappeared into the streets and alleys of Anlu City, reporting to their respective masters.

One of the spies, after walking around the city a few times, became a vendor carrying a load of vegetables, and then went to the bowl area where the rich families lived in the east of the city.

At the end of the street, he knocked on the back door of a house, there was a slight movement inside, and after a while, the door opened. A skewed face poked out, and seeing that there was no one following him, he let him in and examined the alley again. before closing the door.

As soon as the man entered the courtyard. He threw away his burden and walked briskly inside, and from time to time there were hidden stakes poking their heads out of the flowers and canopies along the way, but after seeing his appearance clearly, they all shrank back again.

When he came to the courtyard in the center of the house, he stopped, took a deep breath, and knocked on the courtyard door gently.

"Who's a little feminine

"Mr. Xiaohua, it's me." The man spoke, his voice hoarse.

"Come in, the people inside are lazy. The agent pushed the door open and went in with his head bowed.

I saw that in the yard and under the grape trellises, there were bamboo recliners, a small wooden table, the table was full of fresh melons and fruits, one bamboo chair was empty, and the other was lying a big fat man with a red strip and a body full of meat. It's just that his face is just blocked by the seedlings, and he can't see his appearance clearly.

Seeing the situation in the courtyard, the spy knelt down in front of the grape trellis, and at this time one was wearing a snow-white robe embroidered with plum blossoms. The man, with a woman's face, came out of the back room and said to the secret agent, "What news can you hear?" It was Fang Cai's feminine voice.

The agent will find out what he hears. For example, martial law in the palace, the imperial doctor can only enter but not leave, the ministers ask for the face of the saint but can't, Chen Hong hurriedly asked Sister Yuan to save the scene, Yuan Shi came out and persuaded everyone to go back, announcing that the emperor would not show up tomorrow, but set off as usual, etc., 1510 Dao. But his tentacles couldn't reach into the palace, so he didn't know what was going on inside.

The man who was called Mr. Xiaohua slowly walked to the middle of the courtyard and asked the secret agent, "Have you got in touch with Xiong Xian?" ”

"Nope." The secret agent shook his head and said, "Xiong Ziqi hasn't come out for a few days, and we can't enter the palace again."

"Anything else?" Mr. Xiaohua asked again.

"That's all for now." The agent said softly, "The lowly will continue to work hard." ”

Mr. Xiao Hua nodded and nodded, "Go down."

"Yes." The agent stepped back and closed the courtyard door again.

The corpse is correct

When the courtyard door was closed, Mr. Xiaohua walked to the grape trellis and said softly: "Donglou Gong, your speculation is good, there is indeed a situation." ”

"Hmph, someone wants to play tricks with me" A mouth, it turned out to be a very familiar arrogant voice, and as he spoke, the man sat up. finally revealed the true face of Lushan, it was Yan Shifan who should have been exiled to Leizhou and lived in Nanchang as a result! I didn't expect him to appear in this Anlu City. It's so unthinkable!

That Mr. Xiaohua is naturally Yan Shifan's henchman Luo Longwen, this person's character does have some problems, which boss he mixes with, which boss will get moldy, and I don't know why Yan Shifan still trusts him so much.

"Not bad!" Yan Shifan nodded and said: "Depending on the situation, the emperor has walked out of the problem." As he spoke, he picked up a peach and nibbled on it...... Is it? Luo Longwen gloated and said: "I don't know if it's because of the practice." It's still poisoned by indiscriminate use of pills. ”

"Who knows" Yan Shifan ate the juice and said, "Chen Hong, this rabbit cub, doesn't want us to know."

"What kind of psychology is he?. Luo Longwen asked softly, "Why do you do this?" ”

"Because everything without eggs is a coward!" Yan Shifan sneered, and after speaking, he felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly explained to Luo Longwen: Xiaohua. I'm not talking about you, you're better than an egg. ”

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Luo Longwen's face. Qiang smiled: "How can you talk about me, let's talk about Chen Hong, if he wants to hide it from hundreds of officials." It's reasonable, but why are you hiding it from us? ”

"Because he still wants to go as planned." Yan Shifan threw the peach pit casually, wiped his hands with a rag and said: "Then he bears the least responsibility, even if something happens, there is a way to explain it." "If we change our plans, he will probably have to take all the risks, and he obviously doesn't want to accept it." ”

"Yes." Luo Longwen said: "Then what should we do?" ”

"Fulfilled his wish, the original plan Rong" remains unchanged. Yan Shifan rubbed his fat chin and said, "How should I sing this play, how can I sing it!" ”

"Why bother to raise teachers and mobilize the people?" Luo Longwen said strangely: "Since the emperor is sick, find a way to take advantage of his illness and ask for his life!" And then King Jing is not logically on the next one? ”

"Phew". Yan Shifan snorted fiercely and said, "Why does Lao Tzu think about King Jing? If he is allowed to succeed to the throne smoothly in Anlu City, what does it have to do with Lao Tzu? And King Jing's kid is the most ungrateful, if he doesn't hold his handle in his hand, he will let him eat it sooner or later! ”

"Oh". Luo Longwen suddenly said: "I understand, in order to maximize our interests, this play has to be sung and said with a smile: "And in the state of the emperor, our success has increased greatly, what reason is there to change Ji Rong?" ”

"Hehe, smart, this is so that people don't destroy the heavens and the earth for themselves, and the world is not allowed for others, Yan Shifan stretched out his hand and said: "Come, let the master hug." "I hate Luo Longwen like a water lotus, and he is too shy, and he flashed into the house.

"Sample, dare to run." Yan Shifan got up with a ** face and chased after him tremblingly.

Yes, I'm talking about two shifts today. and it will be sent before the mouth.
