Chapter 395
"Concubine De has a heart," the emperor saw Concubine De's invitation to pet, but recalled some sweet old times.
"Then the emperor will taste it?" Concubine De used the bowls and chopsticks she brought to grab a piece of medicinal rice cake and sent it to the emperor's mouth.
"Concubine De's kindness, how can I live up to it?" The emperor smiled, and was about to eat the medicinal cake in Concubine De's chopsticks.
"Your Majesty, let the old slave serve you!" Father-in-law Gao held a silver needle in his hand, ready to test the poison of the ointment.
"Your Majesty, do you distrust your concubines?" Concubine De Niangniang looked aggrieved, she turned her hand, and the piece of medicinal food cake was immediately sent into her mouth, and then said pitifully, "Your Majesty, the concubines themselves dare to eat it~"
"Thanks to Gao Gong's meticulous care when he was fair, I have the life to live to this day, don't worry about him." The emperor patted Concubine De's hand and comforted her as before, "I don't doubt your meaning, you can feed me another piece!" "If Concubine De hadn't eaten it herself, even if the emperor trusted Concubine De again, he wouldn't have been so relieved of Concubine De at this juncture.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Concubine De showed a sweet smile on her face, just like the little shyness unique to Cardamom in her prime, and she saw that the emperor seemed to have returned to when she was young and vigorous.
The emperor took a bite of the medicinal food cake sent by Concubine De, the medicinal food cake was very small, and it melted in the mouth, and the emperor only felt a fishy sweet taste, and there was nothing in his mouth.
"Your Majesty!" Gonggong Gao watched the emperor's mouth full of blood spurting out, and suddenly exclaimed. "Hurry up and announce the Imperial Doctor! Concubine De, what did you eat for the emperor? Is it possible that you want to rebel! ”
The emperor also stared at Concubine De in shock, but now he didn't even have the strength to speak, so he could only stare at Concubine De. And his eyes lost a little power because of his pale face.
"Imperial Doctor!" When Gonggong Gao heard the footsteps, he turned his head and wanted to welcome him to the emperor's side, but saw that the inner hall of the Qianqing Palace had been trapped by dense guards. "Concubine De, what are you doing here? Could it be that you want to rebel? Gao Gonggong hurriedly stood in front of the bed and protected the emperor with his body.
"Rebellion? Gao Gonggong, rebellion is a major crime to exterminate the nine clans, and this crime can't be chaotic! Concubine De put away her previous posture as a little woman, and became domineering again, "Otherwise, the emperor is also among the nine clans in this palace, so he will be destroyed too!" ”
"Strong... The emperor opened his mouth, but he couldn't understand what he was saying.
"Concubine De, what do you want to do!" Gao Gonggong was very worried in his heart, "This is the Qianqing Palace, and you can't bring troops into it without the emperor's order." ”
Gonggong Gao was just a slave and had no right to let the soldiers leave, so he could only move out of the palace rules and try to restrain Concubine De's behavior and let her order all the soldiers crowded in the Qianqing Palace to go out.
"Do what?" Concubine De Niangniang found a stool and sat down, "The emperor suddenly vomited blood, it seems that the condition is already very serious, if I don't let these people come in and surround the Qianqing Palace, if the news of the emperor's serious illness spreads, wouldn't it give those wolf-hearted courtiers in the court a chance to take advantage of?" ”
Gonggong Gao swallowed all kinds of concerns in his heart, as well as many words that he wanted to question and refute Concubine De, "Concubine De, the emperor's current situation is not very good, can you please order someone to send the imperial doctor to come over and take a look at the emperor?" ”
"I've just gone to pass the word, I guess the imperial doctor is on his way here!" Concubine De said unhurriedly, she even picked up the medicinal food cake for the emperor and ate it.
Gonggong Gao was waiting for the emperor while peeking at Concubine De's every move, obviously Concubine De was fine after eating the medicinal food cake, why did the emperor vomit blood?
Gonggong Gao waited for a long time and didn't see the imperial doctor coming, and the emperor had already passed out. "Concubine De, why hasn't the imperial doctor come over yet? Can you send someone to urge me? "Gonggong Gao is very anxious, but now that the emperor can't do without him, even he can't get out of the Qianqing Palace.
"The emperor's serious illness is a big deal, and the palace will personally go to see why the imperial doctor has not come yet." Concubine De seemed to be a little tired from staying in the Qianqing Palace, so she got up and left.
"Mother, how's it going?" Long Jingyan waited outside the Qianqing Palace with his soldiers, beware of accidents.
"Your father has fainted, but no one has shown up to save him..."Concubine De looked at the forbidden army behind Long Jingyan, "Have they submitted to you?" ”
"Sort of!" Long Jingyan nodded.
"Is there any fraud in there this time?" Because the forbidden army pretended to obey Prince Rui before, Concubine De was afraid that this time the forbidden army would repeat the old tricks, so she would first gain their trust, and then take advantage of their unpreparedness to make moves behind their backs.
"Don't worry, mother!" Long Jingyan said, "Erchen has already imprisoned those generals who disobeyed the king. Those who stay around now are trustworthy. ”
"That's good!" Concubine De breathed a sigh of relief, "What should we do next?" ”
"Wait!" Long Jingyan looked at the gate of the Qianqing Palace, and in a short time, this should be his own territory.
Wu Yaoli followed Long Jingyan's instructions to let the army be stationed in the capital for twenty miles, and he rushed back to Beijing with all the men.
"Lord Wang, what do you say is that there are still a group of people behind my father?" The description on the letter pinched the head and the tail, which made Wu Yaoli look a little confused.
"Behind my father, there is a group of mysterious people called Dragon Knights." Long Jingyan looked at Wu Yaoli, who was in the dust, "General Wu, do you know where they come from?" "The emperor has been in a coma for the past two days, and although the palace is no different from usual on the surface, in fact, Long Jingyan has secretly controlled the entire palace with Concubine De. But in such a situation, Long Jingyan's people still didn't find any clues about the dragon knight in the palace, which made Long Jingyan very uneasy.
"Dragon Knight?" General Wu also felt very unfamiliar when he heard this word, "Back to the words of the prince, Weichen is not clear." ”
"Alas!" Long Jingyan sighed, "Listening to the ministers who were besieged by the eldest emperor's brother last time, those people who were called dragon knights by their father and emperor have high martial arts, and one person can reach a thousand troops, which is really a trouble for this king!" ”
"Don't worry, since Weichen has returned to Beijing, he will do his best to help you share your worries......" As soon as General Wu's words fell, the people in the study were heard.
"Lord Wang, the side concubine heard that General Wu was coming to the house, so she must come in and talk to General Wu..."
"Lord Wang forgives the sin, Wanqing is really too ignorant......" General Wu's face turned red when he heard it, why did the late Qing Dynasty understand the rules so much!
"It's okay, Concubine Wu may not have seen you for a long time," Long Jingyan said to the door with a relaxed expression, "Let Concubine Wu come in!" ”
