readx; Daming Palace leans on the Phoenix Palace, eunuchs and palace maids go in and out, extremely busy, looking quite nervous, several imperial doctors hurriedly walked out of the inner hall with medicine boxes, and faintly heard Empress Dowager Shen anxiously asking, "Imperial Doctor Zhang, how is my emperor?" ”

"It's not a lot of problems, it's good to have a few more days of rest if you suffer from the wind and cold. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Tang Dynasty young emperor Li Shi fell ill, yesterday was March 3 on the festival, is the Tang Dynasty on the traditional festival of spring flowers, Li Shi young surname, can not bear the temptation of bright spring, then in the Daming Palace Dragon Pond boat play, but when the leg was weak when going ashore, he fell into the lake, everyone rescued him, and sent him to change clothes, I thought it would be good to wipe the body, but at night it was a high fever, the whole body was hot, the situation was very critical, more than a dozen doctors tossed all night, and finally stabilized Li Shi's condition.

The inner hall was very quiet, filled with a strong medicinal fragrance, Li Shi fell asleep on the bed, the curtain hung down, and more than a dozen personal eunuchs stood aside, they kept watch all night, all tired.

The Queen Mother Shen Pearl sat in front of the bed, her son's condition had improved, and she was relieved, only then did she feel that she was tired and unbearable, and it was difficult to support it.

Shen Pearl stood up and said to the eunuchs and palace maids: "It's okay to leave only two people, and everyone else should go and rest!" ”

The two eunuchs stayed, and the rest of them all retreated, each going back to their own rooms to rest, among these eunuchs, there was one of the youngest eunuchs, named Chen Hongzhi, who had accompanied Li Shi on the boat since yesterday afternoon, and had been busy until now, and was really tired and unsupportable, and when he heard the queen mother let them go, he was the first to walk out of the inner hall and hurriedly walked to his room.

Daming Palace originally had tens of thousands of Li Longji's concubines, and after Li Yu ascended the throne, most of them were released from the palace, and many eunuchs and palace maids were also released, making the originally somewhat crowded Daming Palace empty, and many eunuchs and palace maids with slightly higher status had their own rooms to live in.

Chen Hongzhi is only seventeen years old this year, and it has been seven years since he entered the palace, it stands to reason that he is no longer a newcomer, but because he is young, according to the success of the Daming Palace, if he wants to get ahead, he will have to stay up for at least another ten years.

Because Chen Hongzhi is smart and clever, especially empathetic, and he is similar in age to Li Shi, he was favored by Li Shi and became his playmate.

Chen Hongzhi's residence is not far from Yifeng Palace, it is a relatively secluded courtyard, there are seven or eight eunuchs living in the courtyard, because it is still early, no one else has come back, the courtyard seems very quiet, Chen Hongzhi is exhausted, he staggered back to his house, took out the key and was about to open the door, but suddenly found that the door was not locked, could it be that he forgot it yesterday?

He suddenly became nervous in his heart, if he didn't return last night, would someone steal his money and belongings, he pushed the door open, but suddenly a hand stretched out from the house and pulled him in.

Chen Hongzhi was so frightened that his soul flew away, and the drowsiness disappeared without a trace, followed by a sharp pain in his back, his back hit the wall hard, and he was dizzy in front of him, at this time, the person who grabbed him let go of him, Chen Hongzhi slowly regained his senses, only to find that there were three people in his room, two eunuchs with big shoulders and round waists, one left and one right, standing on the side with forked hands and looking at him coldly, and directly opposite was a middle-aged eunuch in his forties, Chen Hongzhi knew, this person was Li Fuguo, the personal eunuch next to the emperor.

Chen Hongzhi's scalp was numb, what were they looking for themselves? Especially this Li Fuguo, who was ruthless and vicious, and legend has it that there were no less than ten eunuchs in the East Palace who died at his hands that year.

"You... Can I help you? ”

Li Fuguo smiled, his smile was very kind, he slowly stepped forward to look at Chen Hongzhi carefully, and praised him: "Sure enough, you are a very capable and shrewd descendant, no wonder the Holy Lord values you so much!" Not bad, not bad! ”

The other party's soft voice made Chen Hongzhi's heart drop slightly, and he asked again: "Gonggong Li, do you have any advice for the juniors?" ”

"Advice? No, no, we just came to ask about the situation of the saint, I heard that the saint is sick, and we are very concerned. ”

"Back to the seniors, the saint was very sick last night, but after a night of diagnosis and treatment by the imperial doctor, the fever has subsided a lot, and he is now in a coma."

"Oh! I see. ”

Li Fuguo nodded and smiled: "Then you must have worked very hard, wait by the side all night!" ”

"Yes, I haven't slept all night, and I'm too tired to do it."

Chen Hongzhi's tone already showed a hint of dissatisfaction, he hoped that they would leave quickly and give himself a little time to rest, but Li Fuguo had no intention of leaving, sat down on his bed, bowed his head and pondered.

"Senior, is there anything else?"

Although Li Fuguo's qualifications are extremely old, he is a person by the emperor's side after all, not a master, and moreover, Chen Hongzhi is very favored by Li Shi's side, so he has a trace of arrogance in his heart, and his tone towards Li Fuguo is not too polite.

Li Fuguo slowly raised his head, looked at it with some surprise, and asked, "Little Father-in-law Chen, are you driving me away?" ”

"I didn't mean that, it's just that I'm tired and want to rest...."

Before he finished speaking, Li Fuguo gave a look to a eunuch next to him, and the eunuch grabbed him by the collar and hit him heavily on his lower abdomen with his knee.

The eunuch punched him on the left waist again, knocking him to the ground, and then the two eunuchs punched and kicked, beating Chen Hongzhi to death, begging for mercy.

"Grandpa spare me! Spare me! ”

Li Fuguo watched him being beaten coldly, he knew in his heart, to deal with this kind of little eunuch who didn't know the height of the sky, fists were the best lesson, didn't he come over like this back then?

"Be careful, don't punch him in the face."

He reminded the eunuchs from time to time that when the fight was almost over, he made a gesture, and the two eunuchs stepped aside, Li Fuguo's legs were cocked, and he smiled gloomily: "Little Father-in-law Chen, do you still want to drive me away?" ”

"No..... The younger generation didn't dare. Chen Hongzhi groaned, slurring his words.

"Forgive me for not daring, let's change your clothes! Come with me to see the Emperor. ”

．．．．．．．． The news of Li Shi's illness in the water, Li Heng actually knew it at the first time, he had someone in the Daming Palace, and he could get the latest information at any time, but he needed a henchman by Li Shi's side, he had been observing for a long time, this Chen Hongzhi was the most suitable person, and there was a detailed information about Chen Hongzhi on his desk. This Chen Hongzhi is a native of Xinfeng County, his mother died early, his father and brother were idle, and when he was ten years old, he was sent to the palace as a small eunuch, this Chen Hongzhi hated his father and brother to the core, and never visited them after entering the palace.

This makes it a little difficult for Li Heng, who has always liked to use his family as a handle, but Li Heng also discovered this Chen Hongzhi's weakness, he was a bit of a petty thief, in his room, he found a lot of things for Emperor Li Shi, including a superb jasper Pixiu paperweight and a few gold and jade ornaments on the paperweight on the desk, of course, this was not given to him by Li Shi, when the jasper Pixiu was lost, many palace people were tortured, who would have thought that it was stolen by this Chen Hongzhi.

Li Heng smiled coldly, isn't it easy to clean up a little eunuch?

At this time, Li Fuguo walked in and said, "Your Highness, he is here." ”

"Bring him in!"

Chen Hongzhi was brought in, his face was not injured, he walked with a limp, his face turned pale from fear, this was not the Zichen Hall of Daming Palace, but the home of Li Heng of Yongwang Mansion.

Tremblingly knelt down, kowtowed, and said, "The slave knocks to see the emperor." ”

Li Fuguo made a gesture to Li Heng behind him, which meant that he had already cleaned up this Chen Hongzhi, so Li Heng nodded and said, "Do you know why I called you here?" ”

"The slave doesn't know."

"Humph! You don't know, where did the jasper Pixiu in your room come from? ”

Li Heng's words made Chen Hongzhi step on the air, and his heart fell into the abyss, the jasper Pixiu and other gold and jade ornaments He hid in an iron box, and dug a one-foot-deep pit under the bed and buried it, he didn't know how to be found by them, his body was weak, he fell to the ground, trembling all over, if this matter was known by the jealous Empress Dowager Shen, he would definitely die.

"The Emperor spares his life!"

"Do you want me to spare your life?"

Li Heng leaned down and stared at him, and said slowly: "You must know that it is as easy for me to kill you as it is to kill one, if you want to live, you have to obediently do things for me." ”

At this time, Chen Hongzhi had already understood that the Emperor Taishang was beating himself with this matter, he had another purpose, Chen Hongzhi lowered his head and didn't say a word, he knew that what the Emperor wanted him to do must be extremely difficult, and he began to have another fear in his heart.

Li Heng smiled and comforted him: "You don't have to worry, I won't let you do anything terrible, and I won't embarrass you." ”

"The Emperor... Want me... Do what? ”

"Quite simply, I don't want my grandson's illness to get better too quickly, I want him to be sick for a few more days."

"That's it.... One thing? Chen Hongzhi asked with a trembling voice.

"Yes, just this one thing, as long as you do it well, I won't trouble you anymore, I will treat me as if I don't know anything, you continue to live your little life, what about me! Won't bother you anymore. ”

"Really?"

"Of course it's true, I'm the dignified Emperor, although it's not a golden mouth, but it's also a word, you can rest assured!"

Chen Hongzhi was helpless, so he gritted his teeth and agreed: "Okay! I have a way to make him sick for a few more days, and I just ask the Emperor to keep his promise. ”

Li Heng's slender eyes narrowed, and he smiled faintly: "Of course, I will keep my promise!" ”
