Chapter 221: The Battle of the Court

The venue of the competition is in the school field, the emperor took the delicate back to the imperial study, and the father-in-law on the road saw the sunshine and handed over the folding fan prepared by An Mingchen in advance, "Your Majesty, Lord An is really hearted, not only will today's competition be wonderful, but also specially prepared a folding fan for the emperor. ”

The emperor was in a good mood today, took the folding fan and looked at it carefully, and found that this folding fan was indeed different, and nodded with satisfaction, "It's good to pass away, Lord An really bothered this time." With a snap, he opened the folding fan and fanned it twice, "Wait for me to be rewarded for meritorious deeds, and Lord An's share of me is indispensable to him." ”

In fact, even if the father-in-law doesn't say it, the emperor's attitude towards An Mingchen will definitely reward something. The father-in-law said this just to show his face in front of the emperor and please the emperor.

The emperor is now full of things about the draft just now, and he didn't notice his father-in-law's thoughts, and suddenly felt a little dizzy, and subconsciously held Jiao ......

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" The father-in-law found that something was wrong, and shouted, "Hurry up and pass the imperial doctor, hurry up and wear the imperial doctor...... Everyone panicked, and after a while, in the Qianqing Palace, the imperial doctor gave the emperor a pulse, and then prescribed medicine and stood up, "The emperor's illness is not heat stroke, but poisoning." ”

"What? Poisoning. "My father-in-law thought that the emperor was just suffering from heat stroke, but he never expected it to be poisoning," "Imperial Doctor Liu, how is the emperor now?" Can this poison be cured? The father-in-law looked worried, and when he turned his head to look, the emperor had already woken up. Immediately stepped forward happily, "Your Majesty, it's great that you're okay, next time you'll be a minion." ”

The emperor also heard what he said just now, so he ignored his father-in-law and looked directly at Imperial Doctor Liu, "How did I get poisoned?" "Imperial Doctor Liu is just an imperial doctor, how do you know how the emperor was poisoned, seeing that the emperor's face was wrong, I had to go to see my father-in-law, who carefully recalled what happened just now, turned his head and tried a look at the palace maid, and after a while, the palace maid walked in with a folding fan.

"Imperial Physician Liu, look at this folding fan, it was when the emperor used this folding fan that he suddenly became unwell." The father-in-law handed the fan to Imperial Physician Liu, staring at him with straight eyes, and his heart was mixed, this fan was given to him by Lord An, and Lord An's sincerity to the emperor should not be done to the emperor, I hope he thinks too much.

Imperial Physician Liu took the folding fan and sniffed it, and his face changed almost instantly, "Back to the emperor, the poison on this folding fan is the same as the poison in the emperor, so Wei Chen can conclude that the reason why the emperor is poisoned is because of this folding fan." ”

The emperor only suspected that when he held a meeting, he could never have imagined that his most trusted courtier would poison him one day, but now he tried it in front of him, so he couldn't believe it. The emperor's face was very ugly, and Imperial Physician Liu and his father-in-law both lowered their heads, for fear that the emperor would spill his anger on them.

"Can the Imperial Doctor have a cure for this poison?" The emperor looked at the fallen leaves outside the window and spoke coldly. How long has it been, he finally believed in someone, but in the end, was he really disappointed? Is it true that the royal family has no feelings? Sitting in this position, is it doomed that everyone will be his enemy? The emperor's eyes were full of loneliness and disappointment.

"Back to the emperor, Weichen has just detoxified the emperor. The emperor will be cured by drinking two more patches of medicine. ”

"Alright, you all go down." The emperor waved his hand, Imperial Physician Liu and his father-in-law glanced at each other, got up and left the Qianqing Palace. Outside the palace, Imperial Physician Liu stepped forward suspiciously, "Father-in-law, what's going on, who gave this folding fan, this person is really bold." ”

"Okay, don't ask about things you shouldn't ask, you think your life is too long, right?" My father-in-law is very confused in his mind now, so he sent Imperial Doctor Liu to serve in the Qianqing Palace. The emperor was still standing in front of the window, and his father-in-law was worried that his body was just catching a cold, so he stepped forward carefully, "Your Majesty, although the weather is good today, it is also winter, and the emperor is weak, so the old slave will help the emperor go back to bed and lie down for a while." ”

"No, I'd like to stay here a little longer." The emperor still looked at the scenery in the distance, and said expressionlessly, "I want to be quiet today, and I will push me no matter what." The father-in-law nodded, thinking of those show girls today, "Your Majesty, you have to flop tonight......"

"No need." After the emperor finished speaking, he stopped talking. The father-in-law nodded and retreated. When the news of the emperor's ill health spread throughout the harem, Hua Tingting's face was full of disappointment. originally thought that there were still some opportunities tonight, after all, she felt that she performed the best today, and the reason why the emperor gave her the title was just because of her bad family background. didn't expect the emperor to be sick at a critical moment. It's really unlucky.

It doesn't matter if the other palaces are left, and the emperors don't like to come to the harem very much on weekdays, they have long been used to it. Concubine Zheng Guifei heard that the emperor was very worried, so she immediately ordered someone to go to the imperial dining room to prepare a meal, and came to the Qianqing Palace at ten o'clock in the evening.

"Father-in-law, this concubine heard that the emperor is not feeling well, is she better now?" Concubine Zheng Guifei hadn't come over for a while, turned her head and glanced at the palace maid, the palace maid hurriedly took a few silver tickets and stuffed them to her father-in-law, who glanced at the silver tickets and replied with a smile, "The emperor has taken medicine and fallen asleep." The imperial doctor said that it would be okay to rest for the night. If Niangniang is looking for the emperor, she will have to wait for tomorrow. ”

Concubine Zheng didn't want to go back like this, but she also knew that what her father-in-law said was that the emperor had given an order, and it was not easy to embarrass him, so she handed over the things to him and left the Qianqing Palace with the palace maid. The father-in-law saw that Zheng Guifei was so easy to talk today, he was first surprised, and then smiled, this is the palace, a place where people eat people and don't spit out bones, if Zheng Guifei is still as arrogant as before, relying on the emperor's grace, she will inevitably be replaced by these new show girls, she, this is the time to judge the situation. That's fine. With the love between the emperor and Zheng Guifei for many years, as long as Zheng Guifei keeps to herself, the emperor will still leave her a decent one.

There are no secrets in the palace, the news of the emperor's poisoning spread to the outside of the palace in the evening, King Hong heard the news and was expected to be calm, but An Mingchen, surprised and quickly sent someone to investigate the matter, the folding fan was given to the emperor by him, and now the emperor has an accident, I am afraid that the first one will suspect himself. He wants to find out the reason as soon as possible and return his innocence.

On the morning of the second day, someone from the court came out to talk about this matter, or someone from the New Party's side, who was aggressive towards An Mingchen from the beginning, and seemed to be willing to ask the emperor to condemn him, "Your Majesty, this matter is the most suspicious, and murdering today's son is a serious crime, this kind of dangerous person, I would rather kill by mistake than let it go, and ask the emperor to decide." There is a second person who stands up, An Mingchen looked at his colleagues who had been with him and suddenly felt very cold.

The courtiers headed by King Hong saw the opportunity to suppress An Mingchen together, "Your Majesty, what Lord Wang said is extremely true, Lord An is pampered and arrogant, and he has long complained, and now he is so arrogant that he attacks the emperor, which is really a great crime, and I ask the emperor to make a decision as soon as possible." ”

An Mingchen saw that the more they talked about it, the more they didn't defend themselves, today he was afraid that he would not be able to get out of this palace gate, and he would even be beaten into a trick. "Weichen's heart for the emperor can be seen from heaven and earth, and the sun and moon can be expressed. Please also ask the emperor to take a clear look. Seeing that the emperor was silent, An Mingchen sighed in his heart, he didn't want to explain, but after thinking about it, he spoke again, "Please think about it, and please think about it, if Weichen really wants to attack the emperor, why use such a stupid method, in yesterday's draft competition, if Weichen really wants to do it to the emperor, Weichen can think of one more than this one is better than now, isn't it?" ”

"That's where the genius of Lord Ann lies. If you are high-profile, even if you are suspected, you can immediately explain your suspicions. The Liu Department can be described as An Mingchen's sworn enemy, and when he saw him in trouble, he did not hesitate to suppress him. When the people of the old party heard this, they followed suit. The emperor sat on the top of the main hall and remained silent from beginning to end. Seeing this, An Mingchen raised some of his hanging hearts. Does the emperor also doubt himself?

"It's ridiculous, why did this official do this, and what good did it do to this official. Lord Liu, you know the official's mind so well, could it be that you planted the blame for the official? Otherwise, why do you know the ins and outs of the matter better than the official, and you can even guess what the official thinks in his heart. An Mingchen originally thought that as long as the emperor believed him, he would not care about the words of these people, but now it seems that he is too naΓ―ve.

"Lord An, Xia Guan doesn't have the ambition of a wolf like you......" The more Liu said it, the more serious it became, as if An Mingchen had really done something rebellious. In the main hall, there was a sudden silence, and An Mingchen stared at Liu Department and sneered twice. The emperor glanced at them impatiently, "Okay, I have a conclusion on this matter." ”

Because of the emperor's words, although the matter was temporarily suppressed, An Mingchen could see that the emperor was still worried about this matter, and after the next dynasty, An Mingchen did not go to Dali Temple, and went back to Huangfu's house directly. On the other side, in the imperial study, the emperor was in a bad mood, holding the fold, and couldn't read a word for a long time. The father-in-law stood aside, having the heart to say something but worried about angering the emperor.

"I never believe that An Mingchen will attack me......" The emperor said without a beginning or an end. The father-in-law hurriedly echoed, "Did the emperor pay any attention?" The miscellaneous family will send someone to do it. The emperor did already have an idea, looked up at the gate, turned his head and beckoned to his father-in-law, the father-in-law stepped forward, the emperor muttered in front of the father-in-law for a while, and after a while, the father-in-law left the imperial study with a smile.

In the study, An Mingchen was thinking carefully about today's events, and suddenly heard someone talking about something at the door, and looked up. I only heard the people outside muttering, "I heard that the owner of Huixiang Restaurant is Bai Gongzi, Bai Gongzi also came to our house as a guest before, how can he start fighting with our house now." ”

"Who knows, maybe people approached the second miss at the beginning for today. Pity the second lady, how could you believe Bai Gongzi in the first place......"

"What nonsense are you talking about, it was obviously the eldest lady who brought Bai Gongzi to the house, what does it have to do with the second lady."
