Chapter 32: The Situation
Of course, he didn't succeed in the end.
At night, I was afraid that the young emperor would mature too early and couldn't hold back, so I changed to two little eunuchs to come in and serve.
This only made Zhao Dongting extremely depressed, but he was helpless.
He naturally had no interest in the two little eunuchs, thinking about something in his head, and gradually fell asleep.
Just when he was half-asleep and groggy, he heard two little eunuchs whispering.
"What do you say is going on with the emperor? How could Imperial Physician An's medicine be useless?"
"How do I know? It stands to reason that even if Imperial Physician An's medicine can't make the emperor return to heaven, he must not let the emperor recover?"
"Isn't it Imperial Physician An, who secretly disobeyed Lord Yang's will?"
"Doctor An shouldn't have the guts, right?"
"That ......"
"Shhhh β
"After poisoning the emperor, do the two of us really have to live?"
"I don't know if we will be able to live then, but if we dare to disobey Lord Yang's will, we will die at dawn! Do you want the emperor to die, or die by yourself?"
"I ......"
"Don't say anything, go get the stuff. β
After all, the two little eunuchs were sneaking around in the house, and they didn't know what they were doing.
Zhao Dongting opened his eyes suddenly, and his heart was cold when he heard these words. I said how could Zhao G be infected with the wind and cold and die like this, it turned out that the Imperial Doctor An did something in the medicine, listening to the meaning of these two eunuchs, there is a bastard surnamed Yang behind the scenes who is planning these things.
Internal and external troubles, no wonder the Southern Song Dynasty died so quickly, and it was really unjust.
And at this moment, he heard two little eunuchs walking towards him.
Zhao Dongting hurriedly closed his eyes again.
"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty?"
In just a few seconds, the two little eunuchs whispered to Zhao Dongting beside the bed.
Zhao Dongting slowly opened his eyes, pretending to be sleepy-eyed, and said, "What's the matter?"
The eunuch on the left, who was pale and pure like a little girl, took out his hands from behind his back, "Your Majesty, what do you look at?"
In his hand, he held a roast chicken wrapped only in lotus leaves, yellow, orange, oily, and exuding an attractive fragrance.
Although the roast chicken is not a delicacies from the mountains and seas, the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty has been running around all the year round, and there is a natural shortage of food. But the two little eunuchs obviously couldn't imagine that what was in front of them now was Zhao Dongting, who had crossed over after nearly a thousand years, and Zhao Dongting had heard the conversation between the two of them in a daze.
Knowing that this roast chicken is poisonous, how could Zhao Dongting eat it?
But he still pretended to be surprised, and asked, "How can you two have such a delicious taste?"
The little eunuch holding the roast chicken said with a smile: "This is specially prepared by the slave for the emperor to help the emperor recover the dragon body." β
"Faithful!
Zhao Dongting nodded very affirmatively, looking at the two little eunuchs, his eyes were full of encouragement.
The two little eunuchs laughed in their hearts, thinking that this little emperor was really naΓ―ve and foolish, and it seemed that he was really right to attach himself to Lord Yang.
At this time, Zhao Dongting immediately said: "But I'm not hungry at this time, this roast chicken will be rewarded to the two of you!"
The two little eunuchs were instantly dumbfounded.
The little eunuch on the right had a bitter face and said, "Your Majesty, this is specially prepared for you by the two slaves......
Zhao Dongting chuckled and said, "I have a heart, you eat, you eat!"
"Slaves, slaves aren't hungry......"
The two little eunuchs really didn't know what to say. In the past, this little emperor always shouted hungry at night, why did he suddenly change his personality this time?
"Not hungry?"
Zhao Dongting slowly chewed these two words in his mouth, and his eyes suddenly turned cold, "I gave you a reward, you two dare to refuse?"
In ancient times, the monarch was the greatest, and Zhao Dongting was the president before the crossing, and he had a very heavy majesty, which suddenly became angry, and really frightened the two little eunuchs.
With a pop, the little eunuch holding the roast chicken knelt on the ground, and was about to cry, "Your Majesty, the slave is really not hungry......
The little eunuch on the right also quickly knelt on the ground.
Zhao Dongting wanted to call the guards outside the house, but after thinking about it in his heart, he gave up.
These two little eunuchs obviously know something, so they have to beat them well, so that they can know who is behind the scenes who wants to harm Lao Tzu.
He sat up slowly from the bed, staring at the two little eunuchs with burning eyes. In the candlelight, his eyes were as cold as the Nine Shadows.
"This roast chicken is poisonous, yes or no?"
When these words came out, the little eunuch on the left was so frightened that even the roast chicken he was holding in his hand fell to the ground, and he was about to cry and beg for mercy.
Harming the emperor is a capital crime, which was a concept implanted in people's bones during the Song Dynasty.
The two of them dared to harm Zhao Dongting before, it was a fluke that they were not discovered, but now that Zhao Dongting found out, they were naturally full of fear.
"Silence!"
Zhao Dongting said coldly, his eyes getting colder and colder, "Who told you to wait for me?
The two little eunuchs trembled and knelt on the ground, not daring to speak.
Zhao Dongting said slowly: "Tell me your mastermind and comrades, I ...... Spare you from dying. β
The little eunuch on the left looked up at Zhao Dongting, with hope in his eyes, "Your Majesty ......"
And at the moment when he spoke, the little eunuch on the right slammed into the side of the bed and grabbed Zhao Dongting's neck with both hands.
His eyes were full of madness, and his mouth whispered: "Why don't you come and help! If you say it's death, if you don't say it, you'll die! Kill him! We may still live!"
The dog jumped off the wall in a hurry.
Zhao Dongting really didn't expect this eunuch to dare to have such guts, and he hurriedly stretched out his legs to kick him away. However, his body was only eleven years old, and he was frail and sick all the year round, so he really didn't have much strength, and even a few kicks failed to kick the little eunuch away.
The neck was pinched tightly, and he couldn't shout.
And the little eunuch who was kneeling on the ground came back to his senses, and the desire to survive covered up all his conscience, and he also pounced on Zhao Dongting's body like a madman.
Zhao Dongting's face was swollen and red, and he gradually became a little weak, staring at him, thinking to himself, "Is this how you die?"
Naturally, he was unwilling to die like this.
An extremely strong desire to survive emerged from the depths of his heart, which made him regain his strength and struggle violently.
The dragon bed shook.
Although the two little eunuchs crushed him to death, no one noticed that the stand with the oil lamp next to the bed was also shaking.
"Bang dang!"
Just as Zhao Dongting's eyes gradually darkened, the oil lamp finally fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.
"Bang!"
The door slammed open, and two guards rushed in.
"Bold!"
Seeing the two little eunuchs who were pounced on the dragon bed, they pulled out their bright sabers and ran towards the dragon bed.
The two ran to the side of the dragon bed, and threw the two little eunuchs out with one hand.
"Ahem, ahem!"
Zhao Dongting coughed violently, tears were pinched out, and his eyes were shocked. If it weren't for the quick movements of these two guards, I am afraid that I would have died.
Seeing that the two guards were about to kill the two little eunuchs, he hurriedly shouted, "Slow!"
If these two little eunuchs die, it may be much more troublesome to find out the mastermind behind the scenes.
The two guard knives slashed next to the necks of the two little eunuchs, and hurriedly withdrew their hands, and then moved quickly, flying with both hands, and knocked the two little eunuchs unconscious with the handle of the knife in an instant.
Zhao Dongting was dumbfounded, this ...... This is a fucking martial arts master!
At this time, the few remaining guards outside also rushed in.
At the head of the group was a military general, with a burly figure and big eyes like oxen that quickly swept the situation in the house.
The two guards who knocked out the eunuchs arched their hands and said, "Lord Deputy Capital, these two eunuchs intend to murder the emperor!"
Vice capital head?
Zhao Dongting looked at this general. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, the deputy capital head was still regarded as a middle- and low-level general in the guards and pro-army.
It just so happened that this pair of heads also looked at Zhao Dongting. Seeing Zhao Dongting looking at him, he hurriedly lowered his head again.
Then he walked up to the two fallen eunuchs and asked in a cold voice, "These are the two of them?"
The two guards bowed their heads, "Yes!"
At this moment, the deputy head suddenly drew his saber.
"Be careful!"
Zhao Dongting sensed that something was wrong and shouted.
But late.
Two blades as pale as snow slashed.
The heads of the two guards, who were by no means low-level in martial arts, tumbled to the ground, blood spurted from their necks to the beams of the house, and then sprinkled all over the ground. Then, the body fell to the ground.
The two guards standing at the doorway hurriedly closed the door.
The deputy with a bronze bell in his eyes held a knife at his head, and his eyes were red and slowly walked towards Zhao Dongting.
Zhao Dongting's heart was like falling into an ice cellar again, but he didn't expect that the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty had been in such a mess, and most of the emperor's side were traitors.
Obviously, except for the two guards who just died, the rest of these guards have been bribed.
But he still had to do his death throes.
The countless experiences in the previous life made Zhao Dongting understand that in anything, don't give up lightly until the end.
He said, "You dare to kill me?"
The deputy head was not in a hurry to kill him, and said coldly: "If you don't die, the world will be restless." The world is restless, and our lives are uneasy!"
"Heh......"
Zhao Dongting smiled sadly, "What a restless world! I am only ten years old, and I have to bear such an infamy as making the world restless." β
The deputy head had already walked to the side of the bed and slowly raised the knife: "It's because you're still young that you deserve to die......"
The shiny blade refracted the candlelight in the room, which was inexplicably a little dazzling.
