Chapter 2: Night Conspiracy
After changing his clothes, Ji Ping forcibly beat Huo Xiaoyu to rest, and he got up again and stood in front of the window, looking at the darkness outside.
The sound of the rain was ticking, but it was difficult to calm his mind.
In the middle of the night, what did Wen Luo go out for?
Could the black hand behind the scenes be the Ten Permanent Servants? If it weren't for the Ten Standing Attendants, then there were other forces in the palace?
As a laid-back librarian, he never imagined that he would one day fall into these conspiracies.
After a long time, he sighed. The poisoning thing has to be put aside first, anyway, it can't poison him, and Liu Wei in history was not poisoned.
At present, the number one thing is to try his best to escape from the palace, the mortal enemy Dong Zhuo has not yet come, and there are black hands in the palace who want to murder him, and this place really can't stay.
Estimating that it was close to the third watch, he put on another piece of clothing and gently pushed open the door of the dormitory.
Before going out, he didn't know what he thought, so he took the sword that was resting in the temple and hung it on his waist.
Perhaps, this sword can give him a sense of security.
When he came to the corridor outside the hall, the cold night rain was floating on his face, and a cool breeze hit, although it was a June day, he still couldn't help but shiver.
There are three Yellow Gate redundant servants guarding the door, one of which is the leader of the Yellow Gate redundant servant, and the servant shoots Geng Zhong.
The Yellow Gate is the honor guard and personal guard of the Son of Heaven, and is responsible for the guards in the palace ban on weekdays, and the Son of Heaven rides to guard the left and right, although they are all served by eunuchs, but they also have some combat effectiveness.
Geng Zhong was loyal to Emperor Ling before, and after Emperor Ling's death, he was loyal to him, the Son of Heaven.
Ji Ping waved his hand to stop Geng Zhong, who was about to follow, and walked around the corridor alone.
The night sky was overcast, the rain was pouring down, thunder was blowing overhead, and the ground was muddy with water.
Looking up, there were tall palace shadows everywhere, as if behemoths were surrounding him in the darkness and staring indifferently.
Ji Ping couldn't help but shiver again, he took a big breath of damp cold air, and his brain calmed down a little.
He didn't know why he came out, and after wandering for a long time, he had no clue or a way in his heart, so he turned around and went back.
At this moment, a familiar sound of footsteps came, Ji Ping was startled, and hurriedly dodged behind a pillar.
A familiar figure hurried over.
Zhang Zhou?!
A lightning bolt flashed, illuminating the man's face clearly, with thin eyebrows and slanted eyes, delicate and beardless, it was Zhang Zhou, the eunuch next to him!
Ji Ping's body trembled, he immediately held his breath, and moved behind the pillar again, and after Zhang Zhou passed by, he came out quietly and looked at his back.
Where is Zhang Zhou going in the middle of the night? He subconsciously clenched the long sword at his waist, took a deep breath, and cautiously followed under the cover of the rain.
What he didn't notice was that there was a person quietly following him not far behind him.
After walking for a while, turning a corner, he saw Zhang Zhou enter a side hall.
Before entering the door, Zhang Zhou seemed to notice something, and looked around, Ji Ping hurriedly flashed behind a pillar.
Hearing the sound of the door closing, he came out from behind the pillar, Zhang Zhou had disappeared, and he should have entered the side hall.
What is that place?
He glanced at the side hall, the door was guarded by guards, gritted his teeth, and regardless of the majesty of the Son of Heaven, he stepped over the railing, passed diagonally through the rain, and quietly squatted in the shadow under the window on the side of the side hall, and put his ear against the window.
There was a faint sound of talking in the side hall.
"Father, the child handed over the medicine to Wen Luo, Wen Luo had something to do, and gave Huo Xiaoyu the little maid, the child has already tested Huo Xiaoyu and made sure that His Majesty has taken the medicine."
This is Zhang Zhou's voice.
"Hey!" A feminine voice sighed: "I am helpless to wait for this move, I hope the first emperor will not blame, it is He Jin and those scholars who forced me to wait too much!" β
Ji Ping's heart was beating violently, this voice was very familiar to him, it was Zhang Rang of the Ten Constant Servants!
Ten Constant Attendants! Sure enough, it's the Ten Constant Attendants!
He couldn't help but clench his palms, although he had expected it, but when he really learned the truth, his heart still sank.
The power of the ten permanent servants in the palace is too great, especially the leading Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, who served the Son of Heaven of the Three Dynasties, and Emperor Ling once openly said that Zhang Rang is my father and Zhao Zhong is my mother, which shows that he is favored by Cheng DΓΉ.
Their ears, eyes and cronies are all over the palace, and even the queen does not dare to act rashly, and now the ten permanent servants want to murder him, and he can't help but feel cold.
There were more than 2,000 eunuchs in the palace, and he only felt that he was trapped in the wolves at this time, and he didn't know who else to trust.
"Not bad." Another voice said: "The He Jin brothers and sisters were originally attached to us, and I waited to see their humble backgrounds before helping them to ascend to the throne, but I didn't expect that now they are uniting with those scholars to deal with us and others, so don't blame us for being ruthless!" β
This is Zhao Zhong, another leader of the Ten Standing Servants, who has served in three dynasties like Zhang Rang.
"Father, rest assured, the poison and medicine prepared by the child is a secret recipe, and it only takes a month to poison Liu Wei unknowingly, not to mention that with the help of God, Liu Bian's illness this time is really a good opportunity, taking advantage of this poisoning, it is not surprising that his body is getting more and more, and those imperial doctors dare not say anything."
This is Zhang Feng, another godson of Zhang Rang, who is in charge of the two hundred and ninety-three imperial doctors in the palace.
"Hey! As long as half a month, Liu Wei is terminally ill, and we will let He Ling's slut summon He into the palace, and when the time comes, bury the knife and axe hand to chop this villain into meat paste, and then kill He Ling, and Xu Xiang and Fan Lingli should cooperate with the outside to help Dong Hou succeed to the throne, which is another great achievement, not to mention that Dong Hou is young, so he is naturally attached to us, and our power will inevitably be greater. β
Zhang Gongsen, one of the ten permanent attendants, spoke.
"Yes, He Ling killed Dong Hou's biological mother Wang Meiren back then, and forced to death with He Jin the Empress Dowager Dong who raised Dong Hou, Dong Hou must have hated He Jin's brothers and sisters in his heart, and killed these two people, Dong Hou will not only not blame, maybe he will trust me even more."
This is Duan Qi among the ten permanent servants.
"This ...... The Queen Mother is not bad to me on weekdays, she can spare her life, and she can only move to Yong'an Palace to live. "This is Guo Sheng in the Ten Standing Servants, a fellow villager of He Jin's brothers and sisters, and has always been close to He Hou.
"In fact, as long as the general He Jin is removed, there is no need to hurt His Majesty and the Queen Mother. Perhaps, we can beg the general, he is not a person who does not miss the old love. "This is Bi Lan among the ten permanent attendants.
"Humph! The kindness of a woman, cutting the grass without removing the roots, the disaster is endless! However, in case those scholars and He Jin are eager to make a move, we still have to beg He Ling in a low voice first, and then send some money to the greedy Wuyang Jun and the ambitious He Miao, and let them help to say yes, delay He Jin's time to do it, once the time comes, you can do thunderous things, and enjoy the wealth and glory of another day. "Another humane.
"There is also Geng Zhong's cheap slave, now in the palace, only he is loyal to Liu Wei, and he must be eliminated first......"
This voice Ji Ping is most familiar with, and it is Gao Wang, the former most trusted servant of Liu Bian, who also serves as the drug supervisor, supervising the harmony and worship of the imperial medicine.
Liu Wei learned the art of using poison and medicine with Shi Daoren, so he was naturally closer to Gao Wang.
Ironically, when Liu Wei was originally the prince, he went to ask Gai Xun, a famous minister who was trusted by Emperor Shouling at that time, for the sake of filial piety for the son of high hope, but was refused. Now that Zhang Feng is making poison and medicine, if Gao Wang didn't contribute, he wouldn't believe it if he killed Ji Ping.
Outside the window, his heart was pounding, He Jin planned to kill the Ten Standing Servants, he naturally knew that it was recorded in both the official history and the Romance, and the ending was that He Jin was killed by the Ten Standing Servants.
At that time, he remembered, it was August 25 of the sixth year of Zhongping, and there were still more than two months before now.
The reason why he remembered this day was because his best friend He Jin in his previous life would shout every year on August 25: Woo hoo lament, today is the sacrifice day of the great general.
It's just that I didn't expect that the Ten Standing Servants would plan a counterattack so early, and they wanted to poison him, the Son of Heaven, the Queen Mother and the General, and then set up his younger brother Donghou Liu Xie as the Son of Heaven.
But think about it, since He Jin wants to do something to the ten permanent servants, how can the ten permanent servants be good, how can they be restrained!
"Father, this Wen Luo...... There seems to be a problem too......" Zhang Zhou's voice faintly came from the hall again.
Something wrong with Venro? Ji Ping, who was eavesdropping outside, was stunned.
But I heard Zhang Rang snort coldly: "A cheap maid, don't care what she does!" Zhang Zhou, let's go and see how His Majesty is doing after taking the medicine? β
Ji Ping was shocked, and before he could think about it, he hurriedly got up and stepped back, straddled the railing, and left quietly.
Zhang Zhou wanted to check on his situation, and he had to hurry back to disguise himself, but he didn't know if it was too late.
He had just walked a dozen steps, and turned the corner in the corridor, when the sound of the temple door opening came from behind him, and he hurriedly quickened his pace, hoping that Zhang Zhou could not see him in front of him in the dark.
But at this moment, a lightning bolt crossed the sky, and there was a dark blue hall on all sides, so that Ji Ping's shadow flashed clearly on the ground, and his heart suddenly sank.
Sure enough, Zhang Zhou's screaming voice came from behind him: "Who is it?!" β
This was followed by the sound of hurried footsteps.
Seeing that there was no way to hide, Ji Ping secretly sighed, slowed down, turned around and frowned: "Zhang Zhou, what are you yelling in the middle of the night!" β
Zhang Zhou was startled when he saw that it was the Son of Heaven in front of him, and he was already a ghost in his heart, and his voice changed: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... ιxiΓ ! β
Ji Ping said indifferently: "It's so late, you don't rest, what are you doing here?" β
Zhang Zhou was overwhelmed by Ji Ping's momentum, and said sneeringly: "Slave... Slaves... The slave is watching the rain! It's really raining! β
Ji Ping nodded, ignored him, turned around and left, Zhang Zhou hurriedly followed respectfully.
Being in a forbidden palace, accompanied by such a vicious villain, always thinking about murdering himself, Ji Ping couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, he couldn't help but say lightly: "The medicine you boiled is good, I feel a lot better." β
As soon as the words came out, he regretted it, and he wanted to slap himself in the mouth, Zhang Zhou seemed to notice that someone was following him before he entered the door just now, didn't he remind him?
Sure enough, when Zhang Zhou heard this, he jumped up again, pointed at Ji Ping, and said as if crying: "Your Majesty... Majesty, just now you stalked... You know it all! β
Ji Ping sighed secretly, after all, he still couldn't cultivate his state of mind, and he couldn't calmly face a villain who wanted to kill him.
He turned his head, just as a lightning bolt flashed, and saw Zhang Zhou fall to the ground, his face was pale, his eyes were full of horror, and he retreated while muttering to himself: "What should I do?" I will go and report to my father, and I must report to my father. β
"Wait!" Ji Ping sighed.
Unexpectedly, his drink scared Zhang Zhou like a frightened rabbit, got up and turned around and ran towards the main hall where the ten permanent servants were.
