Cheng Tieqiao left Bauhinia Villa in despair, and when he returned to his pharmacy, it was already a unitary hour, and he didn't know that he had been watched.

Turning to the inner hall, I saw that there were four-color side dishes on the table, and the aroma came to my nose, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl dressed in a coarse cloth dress, and walked out of the kitchen with a bowl of hot soup. ”

This girl has bright eyes and good eyes, and she is quite beautiful, and she is Cheng Lingxiu, the granddaughter of Cheng Tieqiao. Cheng Lingxiu's parents died when he was a child, and he relied on his grandfather since he was a child.

Cheng Tieqiao didn't sit down, went straight to the desk next to the hall and put down the baggage, took out the pot of wine and handed it over, "Look at what's in it?" ”

Cheng Lingxiu didn't know why, but after smelling the wine jug, Xiu Mei frowned slightly and said: "There are soul rejuvenating herbs and several tonic herbs in it, and the soul rejuvenating herb is cold, and it is appropriate to use it to dissipate heat at the end of autumn, and it will not hurt the body so much if you use it, what's wrong?" ”

Cheng Tieqiao said: "What if you use ylang-ylang first?" ”

Cheng Lingxiu's face changed slightly: "The mixing of the two will speed up the blood veins, and when the amount is large, it may damage the heart veins, but the appearance looks like a wind." ”

Cheng Tieqiao hummed and said: "I saw a patient today who is this symptom, and it is estimated that the patient is not a real stroke, but someone deliberately drugged him." ”

Cheng Lingxiu's face changed slightly: "Grandpa, what should we do then?" Do you want to report to the police? ”

Cheng Tieqiao shook his head and said: "If you can't be born into the official family, you can't go to hell if you die, your grandfather doesn't want to get into trouble with the official, and the family also gave a few thousand taels of silver." As he spoke, he took out a few large silver tickets from his bosom and raised them.

Cheng Lingxiu frowned and said, "Grandpa, I said it a long time ago." This money is enough, and if you make too much money, it will damage your yin morality. ”

Cheng Tieqiao said slightly angrily: "You girl, do you talk to your grandfather like this?" I know that you have always blamed me in my heart for delaying my return home in order to save Chen Yuanwai, so that your parents died at the hands of quacks, and you are still blaming your grandfather after so many years! ”

Cheng Lingxiu lowered his head and was silent, Cheng Tieqiao blew his beard and stared for a long time, and then said angrily: "Seal this wine jug and bury it in the backyard." ”

Cheng Lingxiuqi said: "Since grandpa, you don't want to report to the official, what are you doing with this wine jug?" ”

Cheng Tieqiao smiled and said: "That family will be a few thousand taels of silver as soon as they make a move, and we will have to change places in this pharmacy after a while." If there is a shortage of silver, they will come to the door and ask for some, and it is expected that the family will not refuse to give it, and this wine jug is proof of this. ”

Cheng Lingxiu frowned and said, "Grandpa, how can we afford to provoke a big family?" Besides, they have already given so much silver. We can't afford to be insatiable. ”

Cheng Tieqiao saw Cheng Lingxiu's repeated disobedience, and scolded: "What do you know about the stinky girl? Didn't I do it to find you a good family? If you don't have a dowry to accompany you. In the future, the old man will kick my feet. Who do you rely on to go to your in-laws' house? ”

Although he was scolded by Cheng Tieqiao, Cheng Lingxiu's heart was still warm, and he didn't say much at the moment, turned around to the backyard, sealed the wine jug with beeswax, and then buried it in the wine jar in the backyard. Sealing with beeswax can preserve the medicinal effect for a long time, and Cheng Lingxiu often makes some pills, which are also sealed with beeswax and made into wax pills to carry around.

After that's done. Cheng Lingxiu heard a miserable cry inside as soon as he came to the back door of the inner hall, Cheng Lingxiu was startled, looked in from the window, and saw two men standing in the house with blood blades in their hands, and Cheng Tieqiao had fallen in a pool of blood.

Cheng Lingxiu covered his mouth in fright, and after the two big men inspected the house, one of them said, "I heard that this old guy has a granddaughter, but I don't know if he is at home." The other said: "The old guy has just arrived home, maybe his granddaughter doesn't know what happened, and it would be better to kill less if she can kill less." ”

The first one said angrily: "The benevolence of the woman, you must know that the grass must be cut to the roots, and if the things that Su Zhongtang personally explained are not good, be careful of our heads!" Then he said: "Go to the backyard and take a look, and when you see people, you will see the result, and then you will set fire here, and the government will close the case according to the fire!" ”

Cheng Lingxiu held his mouth to prevent himself from crying, seeing the man coming to the backyard with a knife, Cheng Lingxiu hurriedly opened the back of the backyard and ran out, only to hear the exclamation behind him: "That little lady is in the backyard, she ran away!" "Chase it out, if you let her run away, you will suffer!"

Cheng Lingxiu only ran a few steps, and a gust of wind flew behind him, only to feel a pain in his shoulder, but when he looked back, his shoulder was scratched by the tip of the knife that caught up, and he stumbled and fell to the ground. When I turned around, I saw the man with a hideous face coming forward with a knife, and he slashed at his head.

Cheng Lingxiu was terrified, just when he closed his eyes and was waiting to die, he only heard a miserable scream, and when he opened his eyes, the man was already straight, and there was a bright flying knife in his chest. One person rushed to his side and said eagerly: "Miss Cheng, are you okay?" ”

Cheng Lingxiu saw that it was Li Ding and Brother Li who he had saved, and his heart was wide and fell into Li Ding's arms. In a daze, Cheng Lingxiu only heard the sound of fighting in his ears from time to time, and one person exclaimed: "They are the Qing Demon Eagle Claws in Shangyu's spare place, Brother Chen, Brother Yang, let's retreat quickly, and talk about ...... to the next meeting point" Then Cheng Lingxiu fainted.

……

But said that Su Shun, Zaiyuan, Duanhua and others hurriedly rushed back with a warm sedan chair, and before leaving, Su Shun did not forget to explain to his subordinates to return to Bauhinia Villa to deal with the aftermath, and all the people in the house must be eliminated, and the doctor is also going to be killed.

Back in Chengde, Xianfeng gradually came to his senses, although he still couldn't walk on his own, but he spoke quite clearly. Zaiyuan, Duanhua, Su Shun and others secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and finally didn't let the emperor die outside.

After returning to the Yanbo Zhishuang Palace, Xianfeng lay back on the imperial couch, and the imperial doctor who was there had already been notified by Su Shun and hurried over, which alarmed the imperial doctor and naturally alarmed the Jinghuang Guifei, the Empress Niu Colu and Yi Guifei and others, and the accompanying ministers also got the news, and they came to the Yanbo Zhishuang Hall in a hurry, and after a while, the courtyard outside was full of people.

Xingzhen took a nap in the afternoon, but she didn't expect to get up and hear the news that the emperor was sick, and listened to the news brought by Huang Jingci. This time the illness was very serious. Xingzhen hurriedly changed her clothes and rushed over, and when she came, she saw that the inside and outside of the Yanbo Zhishuang Hall had been tightly guarded by the imperial guards.

Niu Co Lu took Zai Chun to stand under the corridor, looked at the Minister of the Guard, Zai Yuan, with an angry face, and shouted: "Zai Yuan, why don't you let the palace go in to visit?" ”

Zaiyuan bowed slightly and said: "The imperial doctor is treating the emperor, no one is allowed to disturb, wait for the emperor to wake up, please wait for the queen to wait." ”

Although Niu Co Lu is weak, but now that the matter is urgent, her tenacious side has exploded, and she angrily pulls Jae Chun to break in. said angrily: "This palace is the queen, without the emperor's edict, it will not be your turn to block the driver!" Get out of the way of Hongu! ”

There was a loud sound in the two compartments, and the child was so frightened that he cried, and Xingzhen hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the child. Standing beside Niu Co Lu, they glared at Zaiyuan together, and said, "Prince Yi." Are you blocking the queen's driving and intentions? If the emperor doesn't have an edict, you dare to stop people?! ”

Zaigaki's complexion was as usual. But there is also a drum in his heart, and he is worried that the doctor in the house will find out that he is ugly, he and Su Shun are grasshoppers on the same rope, and they will both suffer, I just hope that the emperor can sober up for a while, and Su Shun will wipe the matter over first.

The big eunuch Peng Youyi came out in time and said loudly: "The emperor speaks." Empress Xuan, Concubine Yi, and Big Brother are here! ”

Zai Yuan glanced at Peng Youyi, Peng Youyi bowed his head slightly, and Zai Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and turned sideways to get out of the way. The guards behind him also stepped aside. Niu Colu glared at Zaiyuan hatefully, and walked inside. Xingzhen hugged Jae-chun, who was sobbing freely, and followed, and when she walked to Jae-won's side, Xingzhen said softly: "Lord Wang, do you really think you can cover the sky with one hand?" People are doing it, and the sky is watching! With that, Xingzhen ignored Jaegaku's angry eyes and quickly followed.

When I got to the house, I saw Su Shun, Duanhua and others kneeling on the imperial couch, and several imperial doctors were discussing with sad faces outside, Xingzhen looked at Huang Jingci, only to see him shaking his head slightly to himself, Xingzhen's heart sank, knowing that people can't do it.

Xianfeng was lying on the bed, and when he saw two women coming in with their children, his spirits lifted slightly, and he straightened up slightly, and there were already eunuchs helping him to lean on the mat. Niu Colu's big tears fell, sobbing and kneeling on the edge of the couch and said, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" ”

Xianfeng patted the back of Niu Colu's hand with relief, and saw Xingzhen pulling Zaichun to kneel aside, so he smiled and said weakly: "I have run out of oil and the lamp has dried up, and I fainted when I went out a little bit today, it seems that the time limit has come, no wonder." ”

Niu Co Lu cried loudly, Xingzhen's heart was lost, although her eyes were also red, and her chest was a little panicked, but she didn't cry, but the child Zaichun saw the queen crying, so he also cried.

Xianfeng looked at Peng Youli, who hurriedly took over a plate with two imperial seals placed on it. Xianfeng looked at Xingzhen and said: "I don't have much time, after I go, Zaichun can succeed to the throne as the emperor, but Zaichun is young, and I ordered Zaiyuan, Duanhua, Jingshou, Sushun, Mu Yin, Kuang Yuan, Du Han, and Jiao Youying to assist Zaichun as ministers of Gu Ming." These two imperial seals are the things I used in the past, and they are specially sealed by the queen and the concubine Yi by the same daotang, and the will of the eight ministers will be drawn up in the future, and the imperial seals of the two palaces need to be stamped before they can take effect. ”

Niu Co Lu just cried on the side after thanking him, Xingzhen knelt on the side of the couch, and didn't know what to say, it seems that history has changed, Xianfeng died in advance, and there are still eight ministers who take care of their lives, but Xingzhen knows that this is also Xianfeng's helpless move, and now there are Zaiyuan and Sushun party inside and outside, if there is no figure in the center, this is called a strange thing.

After Xianfeng explained some more things, he smiled slightly and said, "Everyone go out first, I have something to say to Concubine Yi alone." Everyone retired together, and Su Shun came to the door and glanced at Xingzhen resentfully.

After everyone left, Xianfeng gently stroked Xingzhen's jade hand and said, "Lan'er, I know that you are not an ordinary woman, with you by Zaichun's side, I can go at ease." It's just that the queen is weak, so you should respect her well. ”

Xingzhen said softly: "Lan'er knows that she will always be a queen and a sister. ”

Xianfeng coughed a few times, and then said: "Su Shun and the others are too powerful, and the sixth is in the capital, I have no choice but to count on the queen and you, if they have any disobedient actions, you can take this secret edict and take them down together with the sixth child." After that, the dry hand trembled and took out a yellow silk holy decree from his bosom and handed it to Xingzhen, and then said: "It is extremely risky to do it in Chengde, and you have to be patient every time. ”

Xingzhen couldn't help but tears finally fell, nodded and touched Xianfeng's hand, Xianfeng reluctantly smiled and said, "You are finally willing to cry for me." Xingzhen said softly in Xianfeng's ear: "If I can choose, I am willing to retire with you......"

Xianfeng smiled bitterly: "I'm glad that you can say this, I know that your heart has not completely belonged to me, and this sentence is enough." Then he said softly: "You go out, let the queen in, I still have to tell her." ”

Xingzhen walked out of the house in a daze, and after passing Xianfeng's message, she was standing aside, still recalling Xianfeng's words in her mind, she just stood like this, and she didn't see Xianfeng again until Xianfeng died, and those few words were the last few words.
