Chapter 631: Guilt
The only person who can say that killing the emperor is so easy is Bai Ling.
But who let Bai Ling have space in his hands, and it is really easy to harm someone.
Fortunately, Bai Ling is not a vicious person, otherwise he would want to get the world by relying on space to make trouble.
After the two finished the barbecue, they went straight to the palace.
Because he couldn't come forward to inquire, he could only start looking for it from the Qianqing Palace, and after finding it in the middle of the night, he finally found it in a concubine who Bai Ling didn't know the title.
Don't look at the emperor's age, he is in a good mood, and he is in turmoil with his concubines, completely ignoring the rules of the royal family.
"Don't look, it hurts your eyes." Shangguan Yu hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover Bai Ling's eyes.
"It's rare for the old emperor to be so interested, it's better to let him be happy again. There is no way to die a slow death more unbearable than for a man to be hollowed out. ”
Bai Ling was quite excited, and pulled away Shangguan Yu's hand, and he didn't know when there was an extra pack of medicine in his hand.
"That's it, the emperor will be excited for a few days, and then his body will deteriorate, and even the imperial doctor can't find out."
Shangguan Yu's face was dark, he didn't want Bai Ling to get involved in this matter, but Bai Ling was so excited, it was impossible for him to take it away.
Shangguan Yu hadn't tried to knock Bai Ling out in the space, and he didn't know what the consequences were, so he didn't dare to try it at all.
"After sprinkling the medicine, withdraw immediately." Shangguan Yu grinded his teeth.
Not noticing Shangguan Yu's expression at all, Bai Ling nodded vigorously, and with a wave of his little hand, he spilled the medicine.
It is colorless and odorless, and unless you are extremely sensitive to drugs, you can't find it at all.
And after an hour or two, the smell of medicine has long disappeared, and the imperial doctor can't find any traces when he comes.
"Shangguan, why don't we go outside and wait for a while, and we will enjoy the moonlight. Waiting to see if the old emperor will be able to wait for a while, pass on the imperial doctor's embarrassment? Bai Ling said with great interest.
"Ling'er ......" Facing Bai Ling's coquettish appearance, Shangguan Yu's position immediately became firm, "An old man, at most, he is angry, and this matter can't be known to outsiders, so it's not a big trouble." ”
"But he's the emperor! I haven't experienced the excitement of watching the emperor, but it's interesting to think about. Bai Ling thought to himself: If you have a mobile phone, you have to take a photo and post it to Moments.
However, Bai Ling couldn't say this, otherwise Shangguan Yu would have to take the opportunity to change the topic and make her forget to watch the lively things.
"Then listen outside, and don't come in." Shangguan Yu looked away and didn't look at Bai Ling's expectant eyes, afraid that he would agree.
If it weren't for the fact that only Bai Ling could call the shots in the space, Shangguan Yu was afraid that Bai Ling would throw him out of the palace, and then turn back to watch the excitement alone, Shangguan Yu would definitely not regress in this matter.
"I know you're the best, I'll invite you to drink." As soon as Bai Lingsu stretched out his hand, he took two pots of fruit wine in his hand, "Let's go, the moonlight is good tonight, I will feel cold for a while, let's come in again." The thought of being able to sit on the palace and drink and wait to see the emperor's jokes made me feel better. ”
Infected by Bai Ling's pleasure, Shangguan Yu suddenly felt that the old emperor also had something to offer.
As for this excitement, it is a bit unsuitable for women to watch......
Well, Shangguan Yu admits that Bai Ling, as a healer, cannot avoid this kind of thing.
When I was studying medicine, I didn't distinguish between men and women.
Thinking that Bai Ling would come into contact with many male patients in the future, and even some needed to see each other's bodies, Shangguan Yu's mood that had just been a little better dissipated without a trace.
"Shangguan, I suddenly remembered something very important." Bai Ling suddenly turned around, took Shangguan Yu's hand and asked, "The old emperor has an accident with the concubines, will it affect the concubines?" ”
"Yes." Shangguan Yu nodded affirmatively.
"What then? Why don't I go and give some antidote? As much as I want to avenge you, I don't want to harm innocent people. If the old emperor starts a fire and destroys all the nine clans of the concubines, will I be guilty of too much? Bai Ling asked nervously.
"No, it won't." Shangguan Yu shook his head, pinched the tip of Bai Ling's nose, and asked with a smile: "When you are impulsive when you do things, how can you not think about the consequences?" ”
"That would be a good opportunity, an idea." Bai Ling pouted, shook Shangguan Yu's sleeves again, and asked coquettishly, "Is there any story here?" Tell me about it. ”
"The concubine inside is a princess paid tribute by a vassal country, can the emperor easily destroy a tribe?" Shangguan Yu sneered, "Although the emperor has the ambition to dominate the world, he doesn't have that kind of courage. If the country's tax revenue is used for military purposes, and the selection of military generals is not only concerned with tightening the military power, the country of the Eastern Han Dynasty should not be limited to this. ”
"That can be regarded as benefiting the people in disguise, there is no war spreading, there is no large tax, and finally a few years of stable life." Bai Ling felt that there were pros and cons to things.
For ordinary people, it doesn't matter how big the territory is, they want to live a stable life with plenty of food and clothing.
Shangguan Yu nodded, agreeing with Bai Ling's point of view.
"In some ways, you're absolutely right. However, the treasury should have been very abundant, but the emperor was happy to enjoy it, and often in order to show the strength of the Eastern Han State, he lavishly rewarded the states, and the amount of gold and silver spent was far greater than the amount of tribute.
Especially like the concubines inside, as long as the beauties sent by the subject countries can get the emperor's favor, they will be exempted from the other party's tribute for several years at any time, and a large amount of rewards will be given every year.
As a result, the gold and silver accumulated by generations of kings have been spent, and the treasury is becoming empty. If this continued, the Eastern Han Dynasty would have to rely on a large amount of forced taxes from the people to maintain the emperor's expenses. Because of this, the people of the Eastern Han Kingdom will not be able to make a living in the next few decades. ”
Shangguan Yu said with a bit of anger.
Bai Ling didn't know this, and he couldn't help but be angry when he heard this.
"When I first came, I thought I had met Mingjun, and the people's lives were okay. Later, after meeting you, I only thought it was an imperial power technique, and I just wanted to master the military power. Now I know that the old emperor is a person who is greedy for pleasure!
Fortunately, I decided to get rid of him, which can be regarded as a good deed for the people of the world, so that I don't feel guilty at all. Bai Ling was quick to speak for a while and told the truth.
"Silly girl." Hugging Bai Ling to his chest, Shangguan Yu kissed her hairline and said softly: "Don't do anything for me that makes you reluctant, I just want you to be safe and happy." ”
"I'm willing to do all this for you." Bai Ling raised his face and said seriously: "Shangguan, I am not guilty of killing. Killing people pays for life, even the emperor is not more precious than the life of ordinary people, and he can't kill the emperor just because he has to. And I feel guilty because I don't want to affect the innocent. ”
But if you kill the emperor, how can you not involve the innocent?
Bai Ling knew this in her heart, so she felt guilty in her heart.
