Mingyue quietly listened to Meng Qi's words, and then, she pulled out a light smile coldly, and said calmly: "Why do you think that this princess will cooperate with you?" ”

Meng Qi replied without thinking: "Because the concubine knows that the princess is an ambitious and ambitious person, and the princess has ambitions, she will never willingly become an ordinary sister of the Son of Heaven, and only the eldest princess of the regent is worthy of your status and honorable status." ”

"You seem to have some truth in what you said, then, this princess will promise you, after the matter is completed, you will be allowed to serve as a royal attendant, and stay by the emperor's side to be a second-class female official, what do you think?

Since you can't get the love and appreciation of Prince Wen's palace, it is better to have a place in the harem, men in this world are unreliable, only power and status are the most reliable things. ”

Meng Qi bowed gratefully and said: "Thank you, princess, concubine, I believe that in the near future, we will definitely work together to win the power that belongs to us." ”

Mingyue's eyes flowed, and there was an incomprehensible emotion hidden in the depths of her eyes, she bent her ruddy thin lips and said: "Mengqi is a smart woman, Zi Chen, you go and arrange a guest room for her, let her rest in the Mingyue Palace for a while, and send someone to send her back to Prince Wen's mansion tomorrow." ”

Immediately afterwards, Mingyue's scheming eyes looked at Meng Qi and said with a smile: "It's getting late, the palace gate is closed, you will stay in Mingyue Hall for one night, and let Zichen personally send you back tomorrow, on the princess's side, just say that this princess has already punished you, how about it?" ”

Meng Qi respectfully blessed her body: "Okay, the concubine will obey the will of the princess." ”

……

Following.

Throne room.

The emperor's body is getting worse and worse, and he often falls asleep, and occasionally sleeps until three poles in the morning, and he can barely stand up in spirit.

The civil and military officials of the previous dynasty and the concubines and concubines of the harem were all dissatisfied and worried, thinking that the emperor could be killed at any time, and everyone had a small abacus in their hearts, considering how to stand in the right team.

If someone who chooses the second prince and eventually ascends the throne as the king is the eldest prince, then the person who awaits the wrong choice will be doomed.

When it comes to life and death, no one knows whether the future is bright or the abyss, the future is confused, and if one step is wrong, every step will be wrong.

Tang Zhentian's speed of doing things was very fast, and in just a few days, he swept away all the people in the urban and rural areas.

All the people who had anything to do with the prime minister were basically relegated to the fiefdom on the border by Tang Zhentian, and the rest of the family members and servants were sent to other places to do things.

The queen's strength was even greater, and she first went to Yihong Courtyard to beat Jing Guiren's personal maid to death, killing chickens and monkeys.

Then, he made a rule and said sharply: "This palace does not punish you, but for the sake of you who need to take care of the little prince and Princess Qing'er!"

Aunt Jin, you will be the head of Yihong Courtyard in the future, if the little prince and Princess Qing'er have any mistakes, it is your fault.

The palace beat Jing Guiren's personal maid to death with a stick today, which was to repay her hatred for betraying the palace.

If any of you dare to disobey the decree of this palace and secretly do something unseemly, this palace will not know, if it is known by this palace, then the death of this cheap maid will be your fate. ”

"Yes, the slave obeys the queen's will!" The palace people all over the courtyard knelt down one after another, and even kowtowed, they didn't dare to breathe, for fear that one would accidentally anger the queen.

The people in Yihong Courtyard knew that the Jing nobles had taken away the emperor, and the queen was heartbroken for several days, so she also moved to Fengyi Palace, and left the Jiaofang Palace idle to punish traitors.

Now that Jing Guiren has died violently, it can be said that the queen mother raised her eyebrows and breathed a sigh of relief, and the resentment that had been stuck in her heart for many years can be regarded as letting go of the burden and ending the grievances.

When the queen left Yihong Courtyard, Aunt Jin hugged the corpse lying in a pool of blood and cried, if she could, she would rather die for this maid.

The little prince and Qing'er cried together, they didn't understand why the queen hated their mother so much, even though she had died, she still took revenge unrelentingly, poking at their sad things one after another.

The courtiers of the Jinluan Palace are patiently waiting for when the emperor will get up before they can go to court.

waited until it was almost noon, and the emperor dragged his tired body up the royal steps, and sat on the dragon couch trembling with the support of the eunuch Gaoli.

The Manchu Dynasty civil and military knelt down and said, "See the emperor!" Long live the emperor, long live, long live! ”

Li Cheng said weakly: "All Aiqing are flat, I am late today, don't blame me, cough ......"

Naturally, the courtiers didn't dare to say a word, and reported the things that each performed his duties one by one.

The emperor and the courtiers briefly said a few words, drafted a few holy decrees, and began to cough and cough non-stop.

"Your Majesty! The minister has something to say! ”

Murong Aoyun, the Admiral of the Nine Gates, suddenly stood in the middle of the main hall and said loudly, his voice was loud, like a thunderous bell ringing in the sky above the hall.

Li Cheng waved his hand slightly, motioning for him to continue: "Admiral Jiumen, please have something to say." ”

Murong Aoyun arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen searched all over the rivers and lakes, searched around among the martial arts people, and finally got a secret recipe that can cure the emperor's illness. ”

Li Cheng's eyes, which had faded from their luster, immediately flashed with dazzling and brilliant light, as if he saw the only ray of light in the darkness, he immediately sat up straight, and said in a loud voice: "Aiqing!" He is worthy of being my Admiral of the Nine Gates, and he is really different!

I have said that no matter who I am, as long as I can restore my dragon body, the position of prime minister above ten thousand people under one person is in his pocket. The rescue is meritorious to benefit the people and the Li family. ”

Murong Aoyun took out a small box from his cuff, and there were seven black pills inside, the color of jet black and shiny, like a rare stone, revealing mystery.

"Your Majesty, this is the treasure that the minister has searched all over the people in the martial arts, and finally obtained, this is the antidote taken from the Tianshan Snow Lotus, ginseng, and deer antler, which were mixed in the alchemy furnace for seven seven and forty-nine days, and finally refined.

This medicine has the effect of detoxification and stasis, only seven days, eat seven pills, you can gradually dissolve the backlog of poison in the emperor's body. "Chase the book

Li Cheng immediately made a color towards Gao Li, Gao Li willingly went down the imperial steps, walked to Murong Aoyun, held the box in the palm of his hand like a treasure, and then walked in front of the emperor step by step, placed the box on the table, and presented it to Li Cheng.

"Your Majesty!" Tang Zhentian suddenly roared angrily, walked quickly to the middle of the main hall in a few steps, and arched his hand, "Your Majesty!" Don't eat it lightly!

This kind of thing of unknown origin, you must ask the imperial doctor in the palace to verify this matter personally, in case it is poisonous, or there are other accidents, wouldn't it be worth the loss!?

The dragon is healthy! Emperor! Don't let anyone hurt you! As a veteran of the Three Dynasties, the minister strongly requested that Imperial Physician Zhao come over to verify the credibility of this medicine! ”

Without waiting for Li Cheng to speak, Murong Aoyun's face was angry, and he refuted without hesitation: "What do you mean by a general?!" What do you mean by your words, does it mean that the ministers have the intention of framing the emperor?!

You are loyal to the emperor, but the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty know that you are also loyal to the great prince!

I dare to ask, General! Are you thinking that you are looking forward to the emperor's early death, and then the eldest prince will return to his hometown and inherit the throne!? Otherwise, how could you be so eager to stop the emperor from taking the antidote? ”

Tang Zhentian looked righteous and righteous, his weather-beaten face was full of anger, and he said sharply: "The Admiral of the Nine Gates is simply a bunch of nonsense!" I have laid a foundation for the emperor, fought on the battlefield, and made great contributions to the emperor, how dare you slander me like this! ”

Immediately afterwards, he turned his head and knelt down to Li Cheng, kowtowed, and said, "Your Majesty!" Lao Chen is really thinking about your dragon body, thinking about your good country! It's definitely not because of the Great Prince! Please believe in the old minister's fierce loyalty! ”

Li Cheng fell into a trace of hesitation, how he wanted to judge the reliability of this medicine.

Murong Aoyun was full of confidence and said briskly: "Your Majesty! Lao Chen is willing to guarantee with his life, this medicine is really found all over the world, and people in the martial arts ask around, so he got this medicine! Please believe in the loyalty of the minister!

As far as the old minister is concerned, he is only loyal to the emperor's master! As far as General Tang Zhentian is concerned, his master is not only the emperor, but also the great prince!

According to the report of the old minister's spies, the king of the northwest had already set off, and on the second day of the fall of the prime minister, the king of the northwest got the news that the emperor was unwell and terminally ill!

The king of the northwest will be able to arrive at the imperial city tomorrow, and the old minister remembers that the emperor's holy decree was that the king of the northwest must not step into the imperial city half a step unless the emperor personally decreed!

Dare to ask, who in the harem of the former dynasty can withstand the risk of violating the will of resistance and notify the king of the northwest to return to the imperial city quickly!? Only our famous General Tang!

When the king of the northwest was still the eldest prince, in order to protect you, he chose to leave the imperial city and go to the northwest fiefdom! Now, in order to assist him, you do not hesitate to prevent the emperor from taking medicine, hoping that the emperor will die violently as soon as possible.

Chen dared to ask, Tang Zhentian, what are your intentions? How dare you treat the emperor like this! Are you worthy of the emperor's trust in you over the years? Is it worthy of the glory and wealth you have?

Do you dare to pat your chest and promise that you didn't report to the king of the northwest? You swear by the honor of your Tang family, and swear by the ancestors of your Tang family, didn't you assist the king of the northwest?! ”

Tang Zhentian was speechless for a while, he didn't know what to say to refute!

The King of the Northwest was indeed informed by him, and the words he swore were simply ridiculous, but he didn't expect that this matter would make Inspector Jiumenti aware of it.

Originally, I thought that after getting rid of the prime minister and others, the Tang family would have no enemies, but I never imagined that the Admiral of Jiumen was also operating in secret, secretly observing the General's Mansion.

Li Cheng's sharp gaze like an eagle stared at the prime minister fiercely, and then he looked at Murong Aoyun tentatively, he already had the answer in his heart.

"General Tang! Why don't I know about the return of the king of the northwest? When will you be able to decide for me? I did allow you to dispose of the Prime Minister and others, however, I did not give you the power to make a decision for me to inform the King of the Northwest to return to the Imperial City!

I don't care what your intentions are?! No matter what your purpose is? It doesn't matter if you're faithful to me or not! As far as I'm concerned, you're no longer my trusted courtier!

I thought that you had done a good job in getting rid of the prime minister, and today I have spared you from punishment. In the future, you will stay in the General's Mansion and think about it for seven days behind closed doors, and as for the return of the King of the Northwest, I have my own arrangements!

Spread my will, no one in the Tang family's mansion is allowed to leave the general's mansion, and the Imperial Forest Army sent people to surround the general's mansion layer by layer, and those who dare to come out and approach the king of the northwest will be killed! ”

Tang Zhentian kowtowed again, his old face was a little annoyed, and the grievances in his heart had nowhere to vent, and he was filled with righteous indignation: "Your Majesty! The loyalty of the old minister can be learned!

The old minister let the king of the northwest come back, really for the sake of the good country, not to be disloyal to the emperor! I implore the emperor to believe in the old minister! No matter what happens, the old minister will always be a loyal minister of the emperor, and the general's mansion will always be loyal to the world of the Li family! ”

"The world of the Li family!? It's not my Li Cheng's world! It's his Li Mu's world! ”

Li Cheng roared hysterically, held the box on the table that was regarded as a treasure in his hand, and coldly reprimanded: "My mind has been decided, the people of the Tang family immediately returned to the General's Mansion to think about it behind closed doors, and no one is allowed to intercede!"

Whoever dares to intercede is regarded as an equal sin! I'm tired and tired, and you're all retreating! Murong Aoyun, you came to my cabinet, and I have something to ask you separately. ”

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" The civil and military officials bowed their heads and worshipped, and watched Li Cheng leave the Jinluan Hall with an angry face.

Tang Zhentian knelt on the ground and kowtowed over and over again, and said bitterly: "Your Majesty! Emperor! Lao Chen is really brave and loyal! Heaven and earth can be learned! Please believe in the emperor! Believe in the General's Mansion! Emperor! The King of the Northwest has no two hearts, and the King of the Northwest is just as loyal to you! The king of the northwest is just worried about the emperor's dragon body, your majesty! ”

It's a pity that with his heart-rending roar, Li Cheng is like he can't hear it, ignoring his situation.

A courtier really couldn't bear to look at it, so he helped Tang Zhentian's stumbling body and said with relief: "General, why are you so troubled!" You know the emperor's temperament, no matter what you say, once the emperor doesn't trust you, only if your Tang family obediently thinks about it behind closed doors, can you get away with it.

If you have been pleading like this and interceding for the king of the northwest, I am afraid that not only will you harm your Tang family, but even the king of the northwest who has come back will be implicated. ”

Tang Zhentian was supported by him, slowly moving his steps, and walked out little by little.

If he is punished, what will the king of the northwest do? lost the protection and protection of the General's Mansion, and the previous dynasty was all the people of the second prince and the little prince.

In addition, now that the second prince has been promoted to the king of honor, his status and identity are unusual, the king of the northwest is far away at the border, what is the intrigue with the king of honor?

The courtiers saw Tang Zhentian's concern, quietly approached his ear, and said in a low voice: "The general doesn't need to be worried, the general's mansion is grounded, and the daughters who marry out do not belong to the general's mansion, as long as they are still in the husband's house, they will naturally not ignore the situation of the Tang family."

One is the princess of Prince Wen's mansion, and the queen of the Northwest King, are you still afraid that the general's mansion will never have a chance to turn over?

With these two daughters here, no one can shake the General's Mansion and the King of the Northwest, you can go back to operate with peace of mind! ”
