Chapter 669: Get rid of cronies
The emperor was furious, but unfortunately he couldn't open his mouth to personally punish Ji Yanning.
The more angry he became, the more painful his body became, and he tossed until midnight, and the tranquilizer he drank slowly quieted him down.
When he woke up the next day, he was still weak.
The palace maid walked into the emperor's bedroom with the medicine, and bowed carefully to the emperor's bed.
The eunuch looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, it's time to drink the medicine." ”
As he spoke, he slowly helped the emperor up, and then helped him lean on his waist with a pillow to make him sit up half-sitting, and then took the bowl of medicine from the palace maid on the plate.
Seeing the black potion, the emperor frowned and resisted.
The eunuch gently scooped it up with a spoon and was about to feed the emperor, but the emperor refused to speak.
"Your Majesty, the medicine is bitter, in order to get better as soon as possible, the emperor should drink the medicine. The eunuch said.
The emperor now has an instinctive resistance to taking medicine, because what Ying Caiwei is best at is poisoning.
He is not stupid, he knows that he has become what he is now, it must be Ji Yanning who has done something in secret.
Seeing that the emperor refused to take the medicine, the eunuch had no choice, but looked at the palace maid who sent the medicine with some anger.
The palace maid was kicked by the emperor's personal eunuch, and her heart was extremely flustered, and she said: "This is a medicinal herb prepared according to the prescription written by the county lord of Congxi, and Imperial Doctor Li and Imperial Doctor Lin have also seen it. ”
Hearing that it was Ji Yanning's prescription, the emperor, who was originally calm, suddenly struggled and knocked out the medicine in the eunuch's hand.
The eunuch was shocked, and before he could grasp it for a while, the black potion was sprinkled on the quilt on the bed, and it looked like a mess.
"Your Majesty forgives the sin, the slave didn't mean it. As he spoke, the eunuch began to pack up the quilt in a panic, and called in a few palace maids, and finally cleaned it up.
The Emperor glared angrily, but his throat began to ache as soon as he thought about speaking, and he was powerless to reprimand these useless minions.
The eunuch knew that the emperor didn't like Ji Yanning, so he hurriedly reprimanded the palace maid and sent the person to the Shen Penal Division.
The palace maid didn't know what she had done wrong, and cried and begged for mercy, but unfortunately the eunuch refused to let her go.
There was a lot of movement here, and suddenly there was a singing voice outside the dormitory: "The queen mother has arrived." ”
Hearing the queen coming, the emperor opened his eyes, but there was a little cold in his eyes.
He and Queen Zhuang have always been cold, when they first got married before, he didn't treat her well, but she didn't get into the oil and salt, she always looked faint, no matter whether she cared about her or not, she was the same.
Later, with Rong Qi, all his body and mind fell on Rong Qi's body.
The emperor is also a high-minded and arrogant person, although he is not used to seeing Queen Zhuang like this, but because of the power of the Zhuang family and Queen Zhuang's ability to control the six palaces, he just let her be a person with the title of queen.
Thinking that Empress Zhuang and Ji Yanning had a very affectionate handkerchief relationship, the emperor's heart ignited anger again.
If Ji Yanning was really Ying Caiwei, would Queen Zhuang have known about this a long time ago?
If Empress Zhuang knew, would she be secretly helping Ji Yanning?
The emperor thought that the relationship between Ji Yanning and Rong Che might be her means to win the trust of Empress Zhuang, if this was really the case, these people would have been calculating themselves a long time ago.
After all, after the defeat of Concubine Su, in this harem, Empress Zhuang is in sole power, and Rong Qi is gradually in power in the court, all of this is already calculated by them?
Thinking that his queen and crown prince actually stood with Ji Yanning to deal with him, the emperor was about to be angry.
But no matter how angry he was, he couldn't speak now, and the harem was ruled by Queen Zhuang, and he felt that his threat was a little heavier.
He shouldn't have had so many scruples in the first place, if only he could kill Ji Yanning without taking into account Yan Guo's threat.
Thinking of this, his heart hurt so much that he couldn't breathe.
The queen walked to the hospital bed, saw the emperor in such pain, and the palace maid who was being held by the forbidden army and struggling, and frowned: "What's going on?"
When the eunuch heard the queen's question, he hurriedly said: "The emperor doesn't like the decoction that this maid prepared for the emperor, and the decoction was sprinkled just now, and the emperor was angry, so the servant punished her." ”
"It's not like that. The palace maid looked at the queen with a struggle, she knew that if she really entered the Shen Penal Division, then she would have no life, and now the only hope was in the queen's body, she was not willing to bear such a slander, she said, "Obviously he sprinkled the decoction on His Majesty's bed, and the others also saw it just now!"
The eunuch didn't expect this palace maid to bite him, and a coldness appeared between his eyebrows.
But the queen was here, so he naturally didn't dare to be too presumptuous, but said: "The slave has been serving the emperor for many years, and the emperor has always been very satisfied with what the slave does.
The queen's eyes were calm, and she walked to the hospital bed, which had been cleaned up at this time, but the emperor looked at her with anger in his eyes.
is so hostile to her, Empress Zhuang can naturally feel it.
She didn't pay attention to it, and there was still a faint look on her face.
"The people in the house just now all told the matter again, and if they dared to lie to the palace, they could only be sent to the Shen Criminal Division. The queen spoke.
All the people in the room fell to their knees, terrified.
Although I heard that the queen has always been gentle, no matter how gentle she treats them as palace people, life and death are just a matter of words.
The people in the room obviously had a group of eunuchs who helped the emperor's personal eunuchs speak, while the palace maid only had someone from the other catering department to help her speak.
But lying is lying, and those who wanted to blame the palace maid for everything soon fell into a flaw and were caught by the queen.
"Take them down and send them all to the Penal Division. The queen's tone was light, "I collided with the emperor, but it's a big deal!"
The queen is in charge of the harem, and it is very easy for her to deal with a few palace people, although there are personal eunuchs around the emperor, but the emperor is now on the hospital bed, and it is a problem to even speak, let alone oppose it.
So the forbidden army took the eunuch who was waiting for him and the people who helped him speak, and threw them into the Punishment Division.
Seeing the eunuch who had served him for many years suddenly being taken away, the emperor was even more angry, but when he became more and more angry, the pain in his chest became more and more exaggerated.
The queen looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, don't be angry, the concubines helped you deal with these disrespectful palace people, and sent some more dedicated servants to come and serve you." ”
The emperor was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
She has disposed of all her henchmen, and she has to place her own people in her dormitory, is this already treating him as a waste!
The emperor didn't respond, and the queen didn't expect him to give her any response, so she turned her head to look at the palace maid who was kneeling on the ground for the rest of her life, and said, "What are you still doing in a daze? ”
The little palace maids of the catering department trembled, hurriedly responded, and then retreated.
The emperor lay on the bed with some despair.
He was so conceited before, and he thought that he could suppress Ji Yanning, but he didn't expect that he was already embattled.
The henchmen are slowly being eradicated, and before they know it, the power in their hands is slowly draining.
Is this Ji Yanning's revenge?
At the beginning, he stepped on the blood of the Ying family and the Lou family, and he had to pay it back after all.
It's just that he was really unwilling to let them go like this.
The queen told the palace people who were waiting in the dormitory, so she no longer stayed in the dormitory, and left directly, as if she didn't want to stay here for a moment at all.
The emperor understands his current situation and is speechless, Ji Yanning will definitely not let go of himself easily, and now he still has a breath, because what he said at the beginning is that if he dies, Ji Yanning and her family will be buried together.
Thinking that a minister would come to see him tomorrow, the emperor thought that he could only take advantage of that opportunity.
He tried to calm himself down, after all, his body couldn't stand it at all.
After more than two hours of delay, he felt the pain in his chest gradually pressed, and he wanted to go to the desk, but his body was too weak, and he wanted to hint at the eunuchs and palace maids who were waiting, but no one could understand what he meant.
He reached out and pointed to the desk tremblingly.
"Does the emperor want to read excerpts or write?"
The Emperor breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.
The eunuch brought the desk to the bed and gave him ink.
The emperor thought that although he could not speak, he could still write, and as long as he could write, he would be able to express his meaning.
In any case, he didn't want to let Ji Yanning, a monster, live any longer to find his own trouble.
But although he thought well, he couldn't do it.
Because of his weak hand, the pen was already very reluctant, and he couldn't write a complete word at all.
Looking at the crooked marks on the rice paper, the emperor was stunned.
Yes, Ying Caiwei is so smart, how could she not have thought of such a thing? With such preparations, she was not afraid to deal with him herself.
After all, he can't speak or write with his hands now, just like a wasted man.
He thought of Su Ningxue, who also died like this at the beginning.
The pen in his hand slipped all at once, and the eunuch withdrew everything.
The emperor slumped on the bed a little dejectedly, looked up at the top of the bed, his heart was surging uneasy, and he suddenly vomited blood.
"Your Majesty!" the eunuch next to him became nervous and hurriedly went to ask for a doctor.
Ji Yanning looked at the news coming out of the palace, a sneer curled up at the corner of his lips, and his eyes were full of anger.
Even if he hired the imperial doctors, those imperial doctors could only find out that it was his unstable mind that caused his anger.
And the emperor has been refusing to take medicine today, so it will definitely not be counted on his own head.
