Chapter 68: The Old Emperor's Struggle

The queen dug a glance at Concubine Shao, Concubine Shao was naturally unconvinced, and just wanted to speak, the emperor on the bed slowly opened his eyes, he looked at the strange imperial doctor in front of him in a daze, and then turned his head to look at the familiar queen and Concubine Shao, the corners of his mouth were about to show a smile, and he saw the prince in the long jade robe behind the imperial doctor, the emperor trembled and stretched out his hand to point at Zhu Youzhu and trembled: "You...... Why are you still here...... I...... Didn't I send you to southern Yunnan...... Daring...... Bold Rebel ...... , dare to ...... privately Privately...... Ahem......"

Imperial Physician Chen slowly pulled out the silver needle and said, "The emperor has just woken up, don't be angry." Then he packed up the medicine box and retreated behind Zhu Youji, hanging his head to reduce his sense of existence.

There are many imperial doctors in the palace, and there are many who the emperor has never seen, and he doesn't pay attention to this much-talking imperial doctor, and the emperor still stares straight at Zhu Youji, waiting for Zhu Youji's answer.

The queen covered her handkerchief and shed tears, and said sadly: "Your Majesty, you just woke up, and you can talk about other things to recuperate, the words of the imperial doctor...... I always have to listen to it......"

"Rebel son! Rebel son! cough cough ......" The emperor only has this prince in his heart, why did the prince who should have been in southern Yunnan appear next to his bed? He looked at Zhu Youzhi's gaze as if he had been quenched with poison, "You didn't go, why didn't you go, you should have set off a long time ago, rebel son, wait for me...... Waiting for me...... , you are delusional!"

Zhu Youji's calm eyes also stared at the emperor, not sad or happy: "My father is unwell, my son should be filial piety in front of me, my father should not worry, my son has sent his fourth brother to southern Yunnan, the fourth brother has always been bold and careful, brave and fearless, and his father is happy, and this trip will not disappoint his father." Isn't it, Concubine Shao?"

Concubine Shao, who was named, was stunned for a moment, and then her face turned pale, and she just squeezed out a little smile and nodded slowly.

The emperor's pale face turned hideous, his hands clutched the bright yellow sheets under him, his eyes widened, and he said after a while: "You brute! I'm not dead yet, you one by one...... Huai'en, Huai'en......" The emperor called a few times, and the great eunuch Huai'en was nowhere to be seen, "If the concubine ...... If the concubine ......, "The emperor called a few more times, but still no one answered him."

Zhu Youzhu said: "Father's top priority, it is better to take care of your body, the imperial doctor has also said, if there is a next time, Da Luo Immortal...... I can't save you. ”

"Where did you get Huai En and them, hurry up and send them back to me! You rebel!" The emperor coughed a few more times, stretched his neck and glared at Zhu Youzhi fiercely.

"It's not just Grandpa Wynne...... , and those Taoist priests who pretend to be ghosts, the sons and retainers have already arranged for their father, and the father doesn't have to worry about it......" As expected, Zhu Youzhu saw a hateful and fierce expression on the emperor's face after saying these few words, and his father, who was lingering on the sickbed, still did not reduce the domineering spirit of killing all sides back then. Zhu Youzhu still just greeted him calmly, looked at his father's pale face and said, "...... Those bloody pills they gave to their father, when my father ate them, did he feel at ease?"

"Bastard, come on, come on!" the emperor shouted hoarsely, and then saw that his queen, his concubine, and his son were all looking at him indifferently, and he finally realized that something was wrong, "You guys...... What do you want to do to me? Queen, Concubine Shao, I am the emperor, and I am not dead yet!"

The queen's hand holding the handkerchief slowly drooped down, and when she raised her head to look at the emperor, there were no more tears in her eyes, "The concubine knows that the emperor is still alive, and the concubine sometimes thinks about it, how heroic and fearless you were when you were young, your emperor, your courage back then, the concubine is happy when she thinks about it now...... , yes, Sister Shao. ”

Concubine Shao stiffened and did not answer, and only said after a while: "...... At that time, the emperor treated his concubines very well, and the concubines ...... Concubine ......"

"Yes, the emperor treats you very well, you can have princes and princesses, what is not satisfied. But the emperor, what about the concubine, the concubine has been pressed on the head by Wan Zhen'er's slut for more than 20 years, have you ever thought about how the concubine feels?" The queen has wanted to say these words for a long time, and she has suppressed it for so long that she thinks she doesn't care anymore. When she saw the emperor lying sick on the bed, she was sad at first, and then she was unwilling, why, if the emperor died like this, who would she say to her grievances for so many years?

"The concubine is the queen, but what does the concubine have? The concubine has nothing! Wan Zhen'er can be buried in the imperial mausoleum, why should she! What about the concubine, the concubine is not as good as her when she dies?" The queen probably didn't know that the expectation on her face at this time was so obvious......

The emperor listened to the queen's accusation, his face was unmoved, he looked at the queen, then at the prince, turned his head and asked Concubine Shao: "Min'er, for so many years, I have been very good to you, and I have never wronged you, do you want to harm me with them?"

Concubine Shao took two steps forward and knelt in front of the bed, "Your Majesty, the concubines don't dare, the concubines don't dare to ......"

"I'm afraid my father doesn't know, the fourth brother wanted the life of his son a few days ago, and his son is now in a big disaster...... sent him to southern Yunnan to have a look...... , as for Concubine Shao, she always wants a living son, and ...... Concubine Shao's children are not only the fourth brother......" Zhu Youzhu continued without emotion: "Father thinks ...... Is there anyone else who can help you now, Erchen has also thought about it for his father, about Wan Shangshu is willing to do his best for you, after all, the ninth brother is the heir of the imperial concubine, isn't it?"

The emperor's gloomy eyes looked at the people in front of him, and he struggled to sit up with some difficulty, the queen wanted to help him, but the emperor opened it in disgust, "Don't come to pretend, do it to whom." The queen took two steps back and did not speak, but put her hand into her wide sleeve and trembled.

The emperor finally sat down and said fiercely: "I have never regretted pampering Zhen'er all my life, which of these women in the palace can compare to her?

Zhu Youzhu finally smiled and said: "In the past 20 years, what touches me the most is my father's affectionate single-mindedness, for a Wan Zhen'er, he has become the appearance of this person who is not a ghost or a ghost, his father is so affectionate, I don't know if Wan Zhen'er is capable, or if the Southern Yunnan Gu poison is better." Presumably no one has told my father that Wan Zhen'er put a Gu in your body more than 20 years ago, and now it has become a life talisman. Oh-probably no one dared to mention Concubine Wan's point in front of his father, right, the person who said these rebellious things must have died a long time ago. ”

The emperor couldn't stop coughing again, and said: "You bastard! The poison in southern Yunnan was brought into the palace by your mother who died early! If you want to poison it, your mother did it......! Did you kill my body?!"

“...... Originally, I didn't expect my father to wake up, but now it seems that my father will not wake up for about a lifetime, and it is useless to say more. A touch of coldness in Zhu Youji's eyes was fleeting, and then he regained his calm. He said to the imperial doctor: "Divine doctor, you tell your father, how long can he last with this body?"

Li Shaoxi cleared his throat and took two steps forward and said: "The emperor's body has been persecuted by Gu poison for more than 20 years, and the amount of lead in the elixir of life consumed is too large to cause poisoning. Over the years, the emperor's body has long been in deficit, and now it seems that it is ...... , no more than a month ......"

The emperor's face finally showed a panicked and frightened look, he didn't care whether the one in front of him was a doctor or a miracle doctor, and said hurriedly: "I have woken up now, my body feels much better, do you have a way to save me? The prince will give you as much as you want!

Li Shaoxi shook his head and sighed with his beard repeatedly: "...... Even if Hua Tuo is reincarnated, there is nothing he can do. ”

"Bastard! You are all colluding to kill me! What about other imperial doctors, Huai'en! Prince, I will abolish you! Abolish you!" The emperor's face was flushed, and before Li Shaoxi could persuade him not to get excited, the emperor had already fallen asleep with white eyes, Li Shaoxi hurriedly stepped forward to check his pulse, shook his head and said: "If it goes on like this, it will not be ...... in half a month."

"The miracle doctor has worked hard, ...... again Let's heal. Zhu Youzhu said to the queen: "Queen Mother, do you have anything to say today?"

“...... What can I say, the palace is fighting back and forth, and in the end I don't know who to give the things I got in my hands, this palace only hopes to be as peaceful as Sister Wu......" The queen stepped forward and took the emperor's hand, rubbing it and continued: "Even if he is not, this palace still hopes that he can live one more day...... The kingdom cannot be left without an owner for a day, the prince ...... You go get busy. ”

"Naturally, the sons also hope that their father will be healthy and live a long life, but now, ...... But there is no way. After Zhu Youzhu finished speaking, he went out without looking at the comatose emperor again.

Li Shaoxi continued to administer needles to the emperor, and Concubine Shao looked at the emperor on the bed and asked the queen, "What can we do now?"

The queen glanced at her and replied: "There are no children and no daughters in this palace, what does this palace want to do with the throne, but you are Concubine Shao, you have to think about it." ”

"But the concubine's ......"

"How did the four princes compete with the crown prince, the name is not right, and it doesn't affect the palace. This palace also persuaded her sister that her heart was too big, and she also wanted to see if she had the life to enjoy. When the emperor woke up, he saw us, do you think we have another way to go?" The queen was unexpectedly bland, looked at the emperor's pale and old face and smiled, and said with satisfaction: "Most of the life of this palace has been spent on Wan Zhen'er, so it is easy for Wan Zhen'er to die, and it won't be long before this palace can be a comfortable queen mother, and this palace is old, and it can't stand the toss." ”

“...... The concubines envy the queen and can think about it. The concubines still have a few princes, I just hope that the prince can treat them well......" Concubine Shao is a little unwilling, and a little hesitant, her mother is strong, and it is not impossible to compete, but her four princes and eight princes are ambitious, what should she do as a concubine......

"Zun'er...... , don't think about it, this palace won't help him. In the end, this palace just needs to be a queen mother. You also have two princes and princesses, think about them. ”

I don't know what Concubine Shao thinks, the queen still looks at the emperor's old face with pity, when she first saw him, he was handsome and chic, shrewd and wise. Time passed in a flash, and he was dying on the sickbed. Once a son of heaven and a courtier, she was just a woman in the palace, and she was angry with Wan Zhen'er earlier, Wan Zhen'er died, and she was confused......

Women are weak, but mothers are strong. Concubine Shao slowly turned her head away, forget it, neither she nor the entire Shao family wanted to be a victim in this battle......
