Chapter 114: It's a fool's errand
Qin Jing, Wei Zhan and Ni Feng fought hard, and finally wiped out the assassins.
A few were caught alive, and they were poisoned to death before they were tortured.
It has become a pipe dream to find out the mastermind behind the scenes through the assassins.
Several courtiers were seriously injured, three noblewomen were slightly injured, a county lord also injured his arm, and several Praetorian guards died, but these were insignificant compared to the news that the emperor was supported.
The emperor was carried to the dormitory by Qin Jue, and his whole face was already swollen.
"Your Majesty, how did you become like this?"
"Father, you don't want to be fine."
A few concubines and a few princes cried and pounced, and the emperor's originally buzzing ears were roared by them, and he was almost deaf.
Qin Jue, who was weak-hearted, always paid attention to the emperor, seeing that his originally distorted face was more exaggerated, and persuaded everyone to leave: "My father is injured and needs to recuperate, don't quarrel with him." ”
The emperor looked at Qin Jue with relief, weak: "Ah Jue is still sensible." ”
Wan's face sank: "Check, check for me to die." The Izumi Palace is heavily guarded, how did the assassins get in. Immediately, return to the palace immediately. ”
His eyes were closed, and his neck was tilted to one side.
*
When the emperor woke up, it was already noon on the second day.
Qin Jue was rolling around on his face with a hot egg, and his heart was winged.
Zhongli Youyou was guarding with a bowl of medicine, looking at the black medicinal juice, and told Gonggong Zhang to get some tangerine peel.
Qin Jue rolled as he went: "Father is afraid of hardship, let's take some more candied fruit." ”
Thinking that the emperor was lying here for his own credit, Zhongli Youyou felt more and more guilty.
Turning his head to look at the emperor, he found that his eyes were half-open and half-closed.
"Your Majesty, are you awake?"
Qin Jue broke the emperor's eyelids, found that his eyes moved, and said happily: "Father, you are really awake, do the injuries on your body still hurt?" I'm already helping you reduce the swelling of your face, and you'll be fine after two. ”
The emperor looked at Qin Jue and almost burst into tears, his son was still very filial.
Zhongli took the medicine over diligently: "Emperor, I boiled this medicine with my own hands, and I brought you tangerine peel and candied fruit to ensure that it is not bitter."
Well, the daughter-in-law is also very filial.
The emperor showed the relieved smile of the old father: "Thank you for your hard work." ”
Qin Jue and Zhong Li shook their heads hurriedly: "It's not hard, it should be." ”
Zhongli carefully fed the emperor the medicine, and asked him how he felt, as if he was afraid that it would be too loud to scare him.
Qin Jue took the ointment to help the emperor apply it, and at the end of the day, he blew it gently, like a child.
"Imperial Brother, Imperial Brother."
A figure rushed in and knelt in front of the emperor's bed: "Brother Huang, this assassination was definitely not done by me, I can swear to me, I want to be the emperor Everyone knows, but I will never engage in assassination." Even if I wanted to be emperor, I would use the right means. ”
Zhongli was stunned.
It's a stupid flaw, isn't it? If you want to be the emperor in front of the emperor, you have to do legitimate means, and you are not afraid that the emperor will punish him for the nine clans?
And his brain is also clear, he ran over to deny it, because he was afraid that the emperor would have no excuse to suspect him?
This stupid lack is King Qing, the emperor's younger brother.
He envied and hated his imperial brother for many years, and he had been secretly trying to win over the courtiers to stand on his side, so that he would have the opportunity to rebel and become the emperor.
But he is the emperor's younger brother, and his rank is too low, and the emperor thinks he is a joke and looks down on him.
The emperor tried to open his eyes so that King Qing could see the disgust in his eyes: "It's not that I look down on you, you have the ability to plan such a well-thought-out assassination, you would have been the emperor a long time ago." With your wisdom, no matter whether you use legitimate or improper means in this life, don't want to be an emperor. ”
Zhongli stared at the dog in a daze.
The emperor not only did not blame his younger brother, but also disliked him for being too stupid to steal his throne.
King Qing was unconvinced: "To be a man, you must always have a dream, what if it comes true?" Don't look down on me, there is always one of my dreams that will come true. ”
As long as the imperial brother does not suspect that he is responsible for the assassination, he can continue to plan with peace of mind.
I don't know which Wang An's did it, he assassinated him while he had a fever and couldn't go to the Spring Palace, trying to put the crime on him, so that he now has a fever to prove his innocence.
Seeing that his face was as red as a monkey's buttocks, the emperor looked at him: "You have a fever yet?" ”
King Qing hummed: "It was almost better, but yesterday I planned to drink some wine to fight poison with poison, but the fever did not get better, but worsened." ”
The emperor hated that iron could not become steel: "I still drink alcohol when I have a fever, why don't I drink you to death, go back to recuperate." ”
King Qing glanced at him guiltily: "Then I'll go back first, and you can take care of your body." ”
After he left, the emperor scolded him several times for being stupid.
At this time, Concubine De, Concubine Zhuang, Concubine Rui, Concubine Qing, Concubine Shu, Concubine Li, Qin Heng, Qin Jun, Qin Yan and Qin Wan came in a swarm.
All of them are smiling and grinning, and they feel very happy and happy.
"Your Majesty, you finally woke up, thank you so much."
"The emperor is blessed with a great life, and I will be fine with him."
"Father, I'll be relieved when you wake up."
"I'm happy too, I can finally get a good night's sleep tonight, haha."
He was so heavy, they laughed like this, and the emperor's face darkened.
"I've been beaten like a pig's head, and you're happy? Laughing like this, did you just come over from a celebration banquet? ”
Concubine De and the others looked stunned, why is it so difficult to be a human being.
Before the emperor was injured, their crying would affect his condition, but now laughing is misunderstood, it's too difficult.
Everyone looked at each other, and finally their faces collapsed and they began to cry.
"Your Majesty, you're finally awake, woo-woo-"
"Woo woo woo, it's so good, my father is fine."
Emperor: "......"
It's like he's dead.
It's a real headache.
"You'd better laugh."
Everyone: "......"
Is it to cry or laugh.
After a moment of confusion, they showed a wry smile.
Her father was injured, and Qin Wan felt that this was a good time for her to atone for her sins. As long as her father waits well, her father will not blame her for sneaking away to Quangong, and she can also take the opportunity to intercede for herself without grounding.
She snatched the egg from Qin Jue's hand and squeezed it to the side of the bed.
The emperor glanced at her: "Wanwan, you sneak out of the palace, and ban your feet for another three months." Come on, take Princess Dongyang back and think about it behind closed doors. ”
Qin Wan was dragged away by the palace maid: "Father, you can't be so ruthless." ”
Concubine Li breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her daughter being dragged away: "Your Majesty, I think Wanwan's feet should be banned for six months." She played with herself for half a year, and she couldn't get wild. ”
Concubine De and others, who had been saved by Concubine Li, spoke for Concubine Li one after another, and asked the emperor to ban Qin Wan for half a year.
Taking advantage of no one's attention, Zhongli Youyou called Qin Jue out.
In a corner of the Imperial Garden, Zhongli stretched out his hand to Qin Jue: "I ate twenty-one pigeons yesterday, and you should deal with one hundred and five thousand taels." You only have to give 100,000 taels now, and I will give you the extra pigeon. ”
His father didn't pay him, so where did he get the money for her?
