Chapter Seventy-Eight: Complexity
Emperor! An old man with a white beard burst into the door, shouted, fell to his knees, and kowtowed heavily.
Calmly got up and stepped aside, standing with his hands down.
Emperor Xiao turned his head slightly, looked at him, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Jiang Zhangyuan, please get up quickly, I am already fine, there is no need to do this." β
Jiang Feng knelt and moved to the couch, kowtowed again, and burst into tears: "Your Majesty! β
"How are you doing? Why is all the hair white? I haven't seen you, and it's only been a few months. Emperor Xiao said softly.
"Your Majesty, Ming'er is no longer with the old man, you must take care of the dragon's body." Jiang Feng stretched out his sleeves to wipe his tears and said tremblingly.
"I forgot, Jiang Ming is no longer there." Emperor Xiao spoke slowly, showing an embarrassed smile.
"Your Majesty, let Lao Chen ask you for a pulse." Jiang Feng said.
Emperor Xiao stretched out his hand.
Jiang Feng knelt in front of the bed and checked his pulse, and the room was silent for a while.
Calmly and quietly withdrew.
As soon as he got out of the house, he collided with the Empress Dowager Liu who was standing outside the door.
Empress Dowager Liu slapped her in the face, and her calm was caught suddenly, and she was hit by this blow heavily, stumbling, and fell to the ground.
"Little slut! Hurt my emperor, although she couldn't understand the hatred in her heart, someone came, dragged her out of the noon gate, and beat her to death with a stick! Empress Dowager Liu roared angrily.
"Queen Mother, no, if it weren't for her, the child would really not be able to wake up and serve your old man." Emperor Xiao's soft voice came from inside the house.
Empress Dowager Liu's body was shocked, and she staggered into the house, and then there was a cry of joy.
Calmly covering his hot and sore cheeks and walking out of the palace, Sima Nan was standing at the foot of the steps, looking at her.
Calmly walking down, he tugged at her sleeve.
"Your Majesty, he's awake." Said calmly and hoarsely.
"He, will he die?" Sima Nan asked.
Calm silence.
"If you don't answer, it's that he will die, and you can't cure him at all, can you?" Every word Sima Nan said was difficult, and it took a lot of work to squeeze it out of his throat.
Calmly told him about Emperor Xiao's current situation.
In short, although the poison on his body has been resolved, the needle remains in his head, and he can't judge anything according to his current situation, but now the needle should be pierced in a less important position.
But with the emperor's activities, the blood flow does not know where to take this needle, so he will be in danger at any time, and he may lose his life at any time. β
Speaking calmly and slowly, Sima Nan was already clutching his chest, and slipped and fell to the ground along the pillar with a painful face.
Calmly squatted down, took out the medicine bottle from his arms, poured a few pills and put them in his mouth.
"General, although you don't understand the affairs of the previous dynasty, this change of dynasty is always a troublesome thing, and the general should prepare early."
A calm and cold voice said that she wanted to leave, but Sima Nan grabbed her skirt from behind: "Then tell me, what is the matter with the poisonous needle in the jewelry box!" β
Shaking his head calmly, he held out his hands towards him.
Sima Nan looked at her puzzled.
"General, you can keep me in prison and interrogate me until we find out the truth." Said calmly and coldly.
Sima Nan stood up with his support for the pillar, straightened his waist, and took a deep breath: "You go back first, I will find out about this matter." β
"I guess the person who set up the mechanism is targeting the concubine Niangniang, the emperor is just unlucky, and he has no intention of opening the box first." Calm did not leave, and said lightly.
"I will investigate the merits, you go back first, the emperor's illness can only be cured by you, and when the queen mother's anger is extinguished, I will pardon you." Sima Nandao.
Calmly raised his feet and wanted to leave, only to see a female historian of the division of the division under the leadership of the guards, quickly coming this way.
"General, this sister sister has found evidence of the sinner's murder." The guards came to Sima Nan and knelt down to reply.
"What kind of evidence, take me to see it." Sima Nan said urgently.
The female history knelt on the ground and presented an ancient book with both hands: "Back to the general, the pattern of the jewelry box containing the organ is from this book, and the slave maid was found when she was just packing up her tools." β
Sima Nan took the book and flipped through it.
"Back to the general, pages 163 to 172 are all harmful jewelry box patterns." Nushi said again.
Sima Nan held the book in his hand and asked her, "Who is this book?" β
The female historian glanced at the calm man standing on the side, lowered her head, and her voice became hesitant: "General, the slave doesn't dare to say it." β
"Mu Jiao, but it's okay to say it, what don't you dare to say, this book was found in the utility room." Calm and cold.
Sima Nan's eyes contracted, he bit his lip, stared at Mu Jiao who was kneeling on the ground, cleared his throat heavily, and said in a gloomy voice: "Listen, if you slander innocent people, you will be punished." β
Mu Jiao kowtowed, dragged his cry and said in a trembling voice: "The slave doesn't dare, what the slave said is the truth, Leng Si has been reading this book today, and the female histories of the Si Shi can testify." β
"Then which of you can testify that the jewelry box was made by Leng Si alone?" Sima Nan asked.
Mu Jiao was silent and did not answer.
"You slave, what do you say, don't be afraid of his obscenity, there is a mourning family here, see who dares to favor favoritism!" Empress Dowager Liu walked out of the hall and shouted angrily.
"The old ancestor of the Queen Mother, be the master of the slave and maid, this book is set up by Leng Si, and the female history of the Si Si can testify, and we haven't read it.
If you say that the jewelry box given to the concubine Niangniang, it was only made by Leng Si and her alone, and none of us interfered. β
Mu Jiao knelt and climbed a few steps forward, kowtowed to the Empress Dowager Liu on the steps, and cried loudly.
"Good calm down! is so cruel and stubborn, the mourning family takes you as a talent, and wants to cultivate you well! Empress Dowager Liu roared angrily.
"The Queen Mother is angry, the specific facts of this matter are not clear, please let the Queen Mother calm down, the poison on the emperor's body needs to be calmed down." Sima Nan bowed his hand and begged.
Empress Dowager Liu squinted her eyes and snorted coldly: "Calm down, you say, did you do this on purpose, poison first, and then detoxify, and want to use this method to gain the trust of the mourning family and entrust you with a heavy responsibility?" β
"The slave maid has no such intention, the Queen Mother is clear." Calmly knelt down and said calmly.
Empress Dowager Liu was about to speak, but she saw Jiang Feng hurrying out of it and said urgently: "The Empress Dowager is angry, the emperor is a little dizzy, if you want a cold girl, you can go in and take a look." β
When Empress Dowager Liu heard this, she burst into tears, stretched out her finger and shouted calmly: "What are you doing kneeling there like a log!" Why don't you go in and take a look. β
Calmly got up and walked into the hall quickly, Empress Dowager Liu wanted to follow up, but was stopped by Jiang Feng.
Emperor Xiao leaned on the quilt behind him, watched her walk in, still with a wicked smile, and said softly: "Isn't it so noisy by my mother?" If I hadn't called him in, I might have been slapped, wouldn't I? β
Calmly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and snorted: "Your Majesty, this kind of joke can't be made, do you know how to bluff the dead?" β
Emperor Xiao stretched out his hand and pressed the door of his head, and sighed lightly: "Calm down, where do you say that needle is in my brain now?" Will it kill me at any moment? β
Spread your hands calmly: "Your Majesty, how do you feel now?" β
Emperor Xiao flashed his eyes, nodded, and smiled evilly: "I feel that the palm of my right hand is a little numb, and my stomach is a little hungry, I don't know if that needle is doing Chongha?" β
Calmly sat down in the chair, sucked his nose, and spoke: "Is there anything the emperor particularly wants to do, but has never done?" In fact, life is short, the longest is only 20,000 or 30,000 days and nights, it is better to do whatever you want and live happily. β
Emperor Xiao's eyes drooped, and his eyes melted into some sadness and desolation, but he still said with a smile: "I seem to have done everything I want to do."
In the first half of his life, in order to compete for the throne, he has been in a state of panic, he has suffered all kinds of hardships, and he has experienced all kinds of dangers
After the reign, I completely gave up on self-motivation, played all kinds of tricks, drank all kinds of wine, and now, there is nothing that must be done. β
"There must be, if the emperor thinks about it carefully, he will definitely think of it, such as who he wants to sing with, such as who he wants to fly with wings, and where he wants to take a look, but he hasn't γγγγγbeen there."
Calm and somewhat incoherent persuasion.
She had seen many patients who were dying, but no matter how dying, at least she would know about when death would come.
Unlike Emperor Xiao, who has been threatened with death, he can't imagine when it will come.
"Calm down, I asked the imperial dining room to make the egg drop soup I like to drink, you accompany me to drink it all the time, don't go out tonight, and then go to see her when the queen mother is angry."
The queen mother is a sensible person, but it is because of her son's injury that she will lose her mind and make such a reckless move, can you understand it? β
Emperor Xiao said seriously.
Calm and speechless.
She rarely saw Emperor Xiao so serious.
When she saw him, it seemed that there was always an evil smile floating on the corner of his mouth, and he seemed to be forever laughing impermanently, which made people feel a chill of annoyance.
He was suddenly so serious, which made her a little at a loss.
"Calm down, you said, is the person who put the poison needle in your jewelry box trying to harm me or Zheng Le'er?" Emperor Xiao changed the subject and asked.
"Your Majesty, they all think that the poison needle was put in by the slave maid, and the slave maid doesn't know whether he wants to harm you or the concubine." Calmly sighed heavily.
Emperor Xiao laughed and shook his head: "You don't have to say angry words, I have already said it, the queen mother is just lost her mind because she is distressed, how can you put a poison needle in the jewelry box, you are really crazy,
If you want to harm Zheng Le'er, you have to poison her jewelry or diet to make sense. β
"The emperor is really the emperor." Calmly praised him.
Emperor Xiao's eyebrows showed joy and pride: "What kind of brains do you need to spend on such a simple question?" The queen mother has always thought too much, in fact, the truth of the matter is as simple as I imagined, someone wants to harm Concubine Zheng and pass on the blame to you, but unfortunately I made me a substitute for the ghost. β
Calm choked in his throat and twisted his head to the side.
"Calm down, you can't expect Sima Nan to investigate this matter, he cares about it, the authorities are confused, and you have to investigate it yourself." Emperor Xiao said again, his voice suddenly trembled, and he reached out to pinch his forehead, letting out a painful moan.
