The old emperor's face was gloomy.

It seemed as if everywhere he could see was telling him that time was running out.

But he felt that his life had just begun.

The old emperor's face was gloomy and terrifying, and he suddenly slammed the teacup in his hand to the ground, and the teacup instantly shattered into several pieces and splashed everywhere.

Jiang Chenning knelt on the ground, and a porcelain shard scraped his cheek, marking a bloody mark, and the wound gradually oozed blood, dripping down his jaw and onto the ground.

There was a hot pain in his cheeks, but Jiang Chenning didn't dare to move, and Gonggong Liu stood aside, not daring to move, holding his breath, and quietly watching the old emperor's every move from the corner of his eyes.

Since the old emperor was seriously ill, his temperament has changed a lot, and he is still the well-known Ming Jun on the surface, but when he turns around, he can execute all the palace people in front of him.

The corpses that were moved out of the west hall gate were so large that they could no longer be hidden, and the people in the palace were panicked, and no one dared to wander in the place where the old emperor traveled.

No one can guarantee when the old emperor's mood will deteriorate.

"Your Majesty." Gonggong Li from the respectful room walked in with a tow plate, buried his head very low, and knelt with Jiang Chenning, "It's time to turn over the card." ”

The old emperor recently went to the palace more diligently, and everyone was speculating that the old emperor did not give up and wanted to train another person to inherit the crown prince, after all, the prince was ill, and whether he could survive this year was a big problem.

When the old emperor was young, he was preoccupied with national affairs, and he basically didn't go to the harem much, so he had no heirs except for the prince and a few princesses, and when he looked back and thought about these things, it was when he was dying.

The previous monarch of Nanshu died early, leaving a mess for him to solve, and over the years, he has also done his best, painstakingly and laboriously, and finally turned the tide to save Nanshu from the dire situation.

At that time, he didn't think much about it, everything was so beautiful!

The old emperor's eyes became more and more gloomy, Jiang Chenning, who was kneeling on the ground, was sweating on his cheeks, and Gonggong Li, who was kneeling beside him, was even more trembling like a sieve, and his hand holding the plate trembled like a cramp, but he didn't dare to relax in the slightest.

The more scared he became, the more murderous the old emperor became, as long as he did his own thing, his head would be saved.

The old emperor took a deep breath and said, "Let's agree to sleep today." ”

This is the promise of a new promotion, in recent days quite popular with the old emperor, Liu Gonggong heard that she was the child of a noble family, the whole family seems to be killed, only she survived, so she was taken to Nanshu to meet the old emperor, the old emperor was confused by its beauty, so he included people in the palace.

When Gonggong Li heard this, his face was pale and pale, his body trembled faintly, he couldn't care about wiping the sweat on his forehead, gritted his teeth, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Lord, today, the little master's body is not very convenient, otherwise, you choose the concubine!" ”

The room was strangely quiet, and Gonggong Liu hung his head for a long time, only to hear the old emperor's voice slowly falling from above: "These days, the people who are always here seem to be sick on the same day." ”

The old emperor looked at Gonggong Liu, who was standing next to him, "This year, there is a new maple tree, I heard that the leaves are extremely beautiful and magnificent when they turn red, I know that you have been very busy these days, and you have taken care of them flawlessly, I will allow you to call those who promised to come over and water those beautiful flowers for me." ”

Father-in-law Liu's face remained unchanged, and he retreated, he glanced at Gonggong Li, but saw that Gonggong Li's face was white with fright, and his body couldn't stop trembling.

Gonggong Liu sighed helplessly, feeling sad for them inexplicably.

"Let's go down." The old emperor changed a cup of tea again, took a sip, and narrowed his eyes with satisfaction, "I want to talk to the most loyal Jiang Taifu in Nanshu." ”

Gonggong Li was stunned, then smiled, kowtowed to the old emperor a few times, then stood up and retreated towards the door, but before he could take a step out, a few men dressed in black suddenly appeared behind him, and grabbing Gonggong Li was a lock throat, Gonggong Li's hand shook, and the tray in his hand fell, he hoped that someone could take a look at this side, so as to save his life.

The man in black was quick with his eyes, grabbed the tray steadily, and dragged the person into the darkness under the terrified gaze of Gonggong Li.

"Huh," the old emperor sneered, put the tea on the table heavily, and stared at Jiang Chenning who was kneeling on the ground with a smile: "Mrs. Jiang has admired the maple leaves like flames?" ”

"The minister is frightened," Jiang Chenning arched his hand, hung his head, his tone was neither humble nor arrogant, and he couldn't hear a trace of abnormality, "This kind of dragon qi blessing can only be seen by the emperor, how can we and other ordinary people have such a blessing?" It's like the emperor levies a land tax, the whole world belongs to the emperor, as long as the emperor gives an order, don't these people have to obediently give up the land deed? What is a little land tax compared to surrendering a title deed? ”

"You," the old emperor laughed, obviously in a good mood, and stretched out his hand to point at him, "Over the years, I haven't seen how much of your other skills have risen, but you have practiced a lot." ”

Jiang Chenning kept a stiff smile on his face and didn't speak, the old emperor was too lazy to entangle with him anymore when he had been a veteran for so many years, and said: "I heard that the little girl of the Dou family has medical skills, but is it true?" ”

The matter of Dou Qingshuang's healing of the people at the border has spread all over the streets and alleys of Nanshu, and it is naturally not difficult to reach the ears of the emperor.

The emperor has been looking for more doctors over the years than the imperial doctors in the imperial medical hall, and this palace is all gone and never returned, many noses are sensitive, naturally hiding from the old emperor of Nanshu everywhere, and some people even spend a lot of money to stay away from Nanshu and the old emperor.

This is also why he has been sick for so long and his condition has not improved, and those wastes in the hospital only seem to know how to give him the medicine to die all day long, and saying a few more words is different from asking for their lives.

If it weren't for their role, the old emperor would have given them the death penalty and thrown them into mass graves. But his life still depends on these people to save it, so let them be spared for the time being.

"Back to the emperor, it's just a rumor in the market, it can't be true," Jiang Chenning arched his hand, half of his injured cheek was numb and unconscious, and he could only smell a disgusting smell of blood, "When my niece helped a little on the way back, it made the good people remember it and magnify it infinitely." In fact, she doesn't have much credit, it's just that the people feel about themselves. ”

The old emperor put down the teacup in his hand and stared at Jiang Chenning, Jiang Chenning's hair, coughed lightly, and said slowly: "The minister has a plan, but you can know whether the medical skills of the Dou family girl are true or false." ”
