Twenty-one, usurpation

Hearing Jian Huaizhen's reminder, Zeroo said, "Wait a minute, princess, Zero, go out now and ask how the little eunuch is." ”

After scattering out, he hurriedly found the little eunuch and asked, "How are the medicinal herbs I asked you to buy yesterday?" ”

The little eunuch looked around, saw that there was no one around, and whispered: "Aunt Lingluo asked me to buy the medicinal materials yesterday, and I have already asked someone to buy them." You also know that I'm just a little eunuch, and it's usually inconvenient to go out of the palace, so I asked a guard from the Shenwu Sect to buy it. I believe that it won't be long before the guards of the Shenwu Sect can buy the medicine. ”

As the two of them were talking, they saw a man in a guard uniform come over and shout loudly from a distance: "Grandpa Yao." ”

The little eunuch turned his head to look, his face was full of smiles, and he said repeatedly: "Coincidentally, I was talking about Cao Cao, and Cao Cao has arrived." I asked this Li guard to buy the medicine, and we were discussing him when he came. Li Guard, how did you buy the medicine I asked you to buy yesterday? ”

When Guard Li heard the eunuch ask, he hurriedly smiled and said, "When did I not give Grandpa Yao the things entrusted to me?" Of course, I've already bought you the medicine, you see. As he spoke, he put the medicine forward.

He glanced at the scattered glances, and seemed to feel a little angry, so he asked, "Who is this?" ”

"Who is this, and what does it matter to you? You don't want to be so nosy, okay? The less you know about this harem, the better, and if you know more, it won't do you any good. That father-in-law Yao glared at the little guard and said to him.

The guard was just a small third-class guard, naturally he didn't dare to make a mistake in front of the eunuchs in the inner palace, and when he heard this eunuch say this, he nodded and said, "I'm just asking more, why is my father-in-law so nervous?" Alright, alright, father-in-law, it's twenty taels of silver. ”

As he spoke, the father-in-law took twenty taels of silver to the guard, thinking that he had given him one hundred taels of silver for the medicine he bought with the little father-in-law, and as a result, he could send the guard away for twenty taels of silver, and the things in the harem were really unclear.

But now that she knew that it was not time to care about the money, she took the medicine and hurried back to the palace.

When he saw Jian Huaizhen, he said to her: "The eldest princess, I will tell you a good news, the medicine has been obtained, and I will go and fry it for you in person now." ”

Jian Huaizhen nodded, and Scatter hurriedly went to decoct the medicine to Jian Huaizhen, Scatter didn't dare to fake this matter to others, for fear that something would go wrong with the fake hand, so she went to decoct the medicine for Jian Huaizhen in person, and Jian Huaizhen was waiting.

About an hour later, Scatter fried the medicine, brought it in, and when she saw Jian Huaizhen, she said in a loud voice: "The eldest princess, the medicine has been decocted, you hurry up, eat the medicine quickly." In this way, I believe that your illness will be cured soon. ”

Jian Huaizhen nodded, and Scatter personally served her to take the medicine, and Scatter saw Jian Huaizhen take the medicine, and then felt a lot more comfortable, and said in a loud voice: "Princess, it's okay now, no matter what, you don't have to be so painful." Otherwise, the slave and maid will feel distressed when they look at it. ”

Jian Huaizhen smiled slightly and said, "In short, all this is thanks to the fact that you have made a fortune for this palace." ”

"Why do you say that, the eldest princess is scattered, and she treats scattered, just like relatives, and her life is also the eldest princess's. The emperor wants to be scattered, and scattering should be to go to the soup and fire, not to mention just helping the princess to do some small things within his ability? With a relieved smile on her face, she said to Jian Huaizhen.

As the two of them were talking, Jian Huaizhen's face suddenly became ugly, the look on her face was originally pale, but now it turned blue-gray, and it became more and more blue-gray, and the whole person looked very terrifying.

Suddenly, her face was a little distorted, and suddenly with a pop, a large pool of blood spit out of her mouth and spit on the ground. Are you okay? What's going on? She had a scared look on her face.

After Jian Huaizhen spit out a few mouthfuls of blood, the whole person looked slightly better, she glanced at the scattered ones, and said with a long sigh: "We have been tricked." ”

"Tricked? What's going on? Scatter still didn't understand, she looked at Jian Huaizhen with wide eyes.

Jian Huaizhen reluctantly said, "The medicine we just took is poisonous. ”

"What? Poisonous in medicine? How so? Princess, why is this happening? You know that I have always been loyal to the eldest princess, so how could I poison you in the medicine? Princess, are you mistaken? ”

Jian Huaizhen shook his head and said, "How could I be mistaken? You can also see my reaction just now, someone must have done something deliberate. ”

"What? Someone did something on purpose? I don't understand, no one knows that we went out to buy medicine, princess, you mean Gonggong Yao? ”

"Who is Grandpa Yao?" Jian Huaizhen asked.

Scattered nodded and said: "Father-in-law Yao is a eunuch in the Jingshi room, and on weekdays, the slave maid often asks him to buy some things from outside the palace, and he often helps the slave and maid to buy it. The slave felt that he should be a more trustworthy person, so she entrusted this matter to him, but she didn't expect him to do such a thing, which was really despicable. I'm going to ask him now why he did it. ”

After hearing him say this, Jian Huaizhen shook his head and said, "No need, you don't have to go to that Father-in-law Yao, since he has the intention to hide, how can he tell the truth of the matter?" You say, don't you? ”

"But are we being deceived by him like that?"

"Absolutely not, it's just." Jian Huaizhen shook his head and said, "I think it's very strange, even if King Jing has great ability, he can even buy the eunuch in the worship room, and the most important thing is that the eunuch has had a relationship with you before, which is really incomprehensible." By the way, I wanted to ask you. ”

"If there is anything you want to ask, the eldest princess, please just tell me." Ling Luo said very anxiously.

Zero Luo is very worried now, she looked at Jian Huaizhen, seeing Jian Huaizhen's appearance, her heart was full of uneasiness, she knew that if it wasn't for her disadvantage, things would not have developed to this point, in short, this matter has something to do with her, so she felt even more sorry for Jian Huaizhen.

Jian Huaizhen said: "Are you sure that this matter is only handled by Father-in-law Yao?" ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen ask, Ling Luo remembered something, and said: "Another point, I entrusted Father-in-law Yao to help me buy medicine, but Father-in-law Yao was a guard entrusted to the Shenwu Sect. I just met him and found out. ”

"Entrust the guards of the Shenwu Sect? Who is the guard? ”

"I don't know, princess, is it the guard's reason that something went wrong?"

Jian Huaizhen heard Ling Luo's question, nodded, and said, "I can't rule out that this is the reason, if it is, if I guess it is right, most likely so." Do you think, since Grandpa Yao often helps you on weekdays, how could he suddenly do such a thing? Besides, he is just a little eunuch in the Jingshi Room, and I believe that he doesn't have such great ability, so think about it, most of this matter was done by that guard. ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen's words, Ling Luo seemed to remember something, and suddenly said: "When the princess said this, the slave and maid also remembered. The slave and maid remembered clearly, just now it was indeed in front of the slave and maid, the guard handed over the medicine to Grandpa Yao, if it was to do the hands and feet, it could not be the hands and feet of Grandpa Yao, because he just handed over the medicine to me casually, but in this way, this matter is mostly related to the guard. It's just that I still can't understand what that guard has to do with this. What kind of hatred does he have with the princess, why did he poison your medicine, the eldest princess? And how did he know that the eldest princess was going out to buy medicine? ”

"Isn't that easy?" After hearing her ask, Jian Huaizhen sneered and said, "Have you forgotten something?" ”

"What's the matter?" Ling Luo asked a little incomprehensibly.

Jian Huaizhen nodded and said, "You should remember clearly, who gave me the poison, so this guard is naturally sent by whom." It's just that I didn't expect that his power in the palace has reached such a big point that even the guards can buy him, and the palace looks down on him. ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen say this, Ling Luo almost understood what was going on, then this matter was very simple, obviously King Jing Zhu Jianchen expected that Jian Huaizhen might send someone out of the palace to buy medicine, so he had already arranged for someone to monitor Zero Luo, and when Ling Luo contacted Yao's father-in-law, he immediately sent his people to contact Yao's father-in-law, so that he could buy some other medicine for Jian Huaizhen to take.

In short, King Jing meant that Jian Huaizhen must be paralyzed in bed, unable to take care of state affairs, and no longer able to take care of other affairs, so that he could quickly control the emperor.

Zero Luo couldn't help but gasp, she pounced on Jian Huaizhen and knelt down, and said in a loud voice: "The eldest princess, it's Zero's mistake, Zero's sorry for you, it's Scatter that lured the wolf into the room, causing the eldest princess, your condition is getting worse and worse." What should we do now? What can I do? ”

She was a little anxious, and after thinking for a long time, she hurriedly said to Jian Huaizhen: "Eldest Princess, things have come to this point, we definitely can't wait any longer." I'll go to the Imperial Pharmacy right now, and get you the medicine that the eldest princess needs, no matter what, you can't wait like this, or else. At this, she couldn't help but sobbed and cried.

When Jian Huaizhen saw her appearance, he was obviously very worried about himself, and he was also very moved in his heart, although it was true that this matter was not handled well, so it led to this result, but to put it simply, he couldn't just blame one person, and he had to bear some responsibilities more or less, in fact, he underestimated King Jing's ability and influence, as well as his scheming.

This King Jing is so powerful that he can come up with these tricks, it can be seen that this person's city is extremely deep, and his scheming is deep, how much power does he still have in this harem, and how much power does he have in the court? This is something that no one could have predicted.

Jian Huaizhen sighed and said to Zero: "It's okay, you don't have to go to the palace to get medicine, you go out first, the palace will heal." I believe that it won't be long before it gets better. ”

Seeing Jian Huaizhen's appearance, she naturally knew that what Jian Huaizhen said was just to comfort herself, because she had been by Jian Huaizhen's side for more than 20 years, and she had seen Jian Huaizhen in danger countless times, but there was no time when her face became so ugly, and when she looked at her, she knew that she had been seriously poisoned.

Scattering said to Jian Huaizhen half-pleading, half-mourning: "Eldest Princess, no matter what you think today, Scatter must be selfish once, and you must also make your own assertions." I can't see you now, maybe in your heart, the most important thing is the country, but in the scattered heart, the most important thing is you, the eldest princess, I definitely can't let the eldest princess you have any danger. So I also beg the eldest princess, don't do this to yourself again, allow me to get the medicine for you, otherwise, I really don't know what the consequences will become. At this, her tears flowed hotly.

Jian Huaizhen shook his head slightly, and said to her: "You go out, you listen to the words of this palace, the life of a person in this palace is related to the safety of the country, do you let this palace choose your own life, or choose the country?" If Zhu Jianchen knew that Bengong was so sick that he couldn't get up from bed now, he would definitely step up his usurpation now, and he would soon oust the emperor from power......"

Before she finished speaking, she had already snatched up the white and said: "He drove the emperor down, so what?" Anyway, the emperor has always been bad to the eldest princess, and the eldest princess always does her best to protect the emperor, and the eldest princess can be regarded as benevolent and righteous. Besides, King Jing is also a child of the royal family anyway, so what if he is the emperor? Imperial Princess, I beg you, put your body first, and don't think about it so much. ”

"Of course it's different." Jian Huaizhen's face showed a miserable smile: "If it was in the past, this palace thinks that it is not impossible to let King Jing be the emperor, at least he believes in Buddhism, and he practices the ideas of Buddhism, and he will definitely have the idea of benevolence and love for the people of the world, and he will definitely do his best to let the people live a good life." But now it's different, and now you can see that he has always harbored evil intentions, so you can know how deep this person's scheming is. And in order to usurp the throne, he did not hesitate to sacrifice his body, nor did he hesitate to come to ask for the life of the palace, how could such a person have a benevolent heart? If a rebellious minister and thief like him is allowed to ascend to the throne, it will be the people of the world who will suffer at that time. Yes, there are indeed many things that the emperor has done wrong, but compared to King Jing, the emperor is still much more merciful and loyal. And the emperor is now determined to reform himself, no matter what, the palace will definitely not let this matter develop worse and worse. ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen say this, she sighed and stopped making a sound, because she understood Jian Huaizhen's temper and knew that it was useless for her to say anything now, since she had made up her mind, then she could only do what she wanted, otherwise, even if she went to the pharmacy to get the medicine herself, she would not eat it, but it would make her feel uncomfortable.

And listening to Jian Huaizhen's meaning, I'm afraid that there are already a lot of people in King Jing in this harem, whether it is Jian Huaizhen or scattered, they never dreamed that the person who lurked in this harem the deepest hidden was not someone else, but King Jing Zhu Jianchen.

King Jing Zhu Jianchen is really a very scheming person, he has been hiding in the harem for so long, no one has found him, and now he is smoothly approaching the emperor's side, which shows that he was not unable to approach the emperor before, and he was afraid of Jian Huaizhen, so he didn't dare to do this.

Now he saw that there was a rift between Jian Huaizhen and the emperor, so he deliberately did something to make the gap between them bigger and bigger, so that he could take advantage of the situation and become a person around the emperor, and at the same time, he also thought of a way to contain Jian Huaizhen, so that Jian Huaizhen would have no way to help the emperor, and he could take the opportunity to implement his plan to plot the dynasty and usurp the throne.

His plans can be said to be all precise and secret, and this person's scheming is indeed obvious.

Jian Huaizhen and Scatter were both overturned in their hearts, and they didn't speak, Scatter saluted Jian Huaizhen and walked out.

After going out, Jian Huaizhen sat there alone, she used the power in her body to heal her injuries, fortunately, she had deep internal strength, and she had some standing pills by her side, after taking these pills, and then using the exercises to heal her injuries, she quickly forced the poison to one of her arms, so that she could protect her heart.

It's just that she must find the antidote as soon as possible, or prepare the antidote as soon as possible, otherwise, her arm will not be protected, if there is still no way to find the antidote within ten days, then she will only have a broken arm to protect herself.

Originally, as long as she prescribed those medicines according to her prescription, and then decocted these medicines, she could protect herself, but Zhu Jianchen, the king of Jing, harbored evil intentions, and let people give her the rest of the poison, she did not suspect fraud, she only regarded it as medicine, after taking these poisons, the toxins in her body were aggravated, so that Jian Huaizhen had no way to detoxify herself without medicinal materials.

She originally thought that King Jing Zhu Jianchen was a little merciful to herself, so she did this, but she didn't expect that he had laid out two moves, his two-move move was very simple, the first move was to poison Jian Huaizhen first, if Jian Huaizhen was poisoned, she immediately took medicine from the imperial pharmacy in the palace to heal herself, then she would have a few months at most, or even a little longer to recover slowly, during this time, she would have to lie in bed for some days, and then slowly her body would get better.

If she deliberately hid her illness and didn't take the medicine from the imperial pharmacy, she would have entered King Jing's second step trick, King Jing's second step was to poison Jian Huaizhen again, so that she was poisoned twice in her body, and it would not be so easy to detoxify it again.

Jian Huaizhen sighed, thinking, never dreamed that King Jing turned out to be such a scheming person, unscrupulous in order to achieve the goal.

It's just that, I believe that after so many years, King Jing doesn't know how deep her Jian Huaizhen's skills are, and he doesn't know how capable Jian Huaizhen is, if Jian Huaizhen pretends not to be poisoned, I believe that King Jing may not believe it completely, so he will not be so unscrupulous to seize the throne, thinking of this, Jian Huaizhen is a little comforted in his heart.

She thought about it, she rested for a long time, ate some more, and felt much better, but the arm of her left hand was completely blue-gray, and it looked terrifying, as if it had a layer of rust on it.

After being seen by Zero, Zeroo couldn't help but scream, and said in a loud voice: "Princess, your arm, what should I do?" ”

Jian Huaizhen smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "Don't worry, this palace is fine, this palace is just forcing all the poison in the body to the left arm." If the palace can find the antidote within ten days, I believe that the poison in the body will be lifted soon, so don't worry. ”

Scattered and worried, he said to Jian Huaizhen: "Eldest Princess, what should I do?" ”

Jian Huaizhen smiled slightly and said, "Didn't Bengong tell you?" As long as the antidote can be found in the main palace within ten days, there will be nothing at all in the main palace. If you can't find the antidote within ten days, it's a big deal that the palace doesn't need this arm, so what does it matter? Besides, Bengong is also an elderly person, even if there is something long, two short, it is not in vain. ”

After hearing her say this, scattered tears flowed down again, and scattered didn't know what to do, but she knew that no matter what she said now, she couldn't make Jian Huaizhen change her mind, so she had to let her go.

Jian Huaizhen glanced at Scattered with a smile and said, "Okay, now wipe away your tears and don't make sad expressions, otherwise, others will think that something is really wrong with me." I believe that since King Jing dares to do so many things and set off so many storms, he must be full of spies in the harem, and our every move will fall into his eyes at any time. Alright, we'll go see King Jing right now. ”

"To see King Jing? What do you do when you go to see King Jing? Ling Luo shook his head and said, "Princess, you can't go anywhere now, you need to rest now, what are you going to do to see King Jing now?" ”

"Of course Bengong is going to see King Jing, King Jing has done so many things with all his heart, it is nothing more than to poison Bengong, Bengong is going to see him now, just to tell him that Bengong is not poisoned. In this way, Bengong believes that he doesn't know how much strength Bengong has, let alone act rashly. ”

After hearing her say this, Ling Luo hurriedly shook his head and said, "Imperial Princess, but your current body is really not suitable for working anymore. If you have to go, let Zero visit him on your behalf, and say that the eldest princess greets him, what does the eldest princess think? ”

Jian Huaizhen shook his head and said, "No, this palace must go in person, King Jing is a treacherous man, so that he can rest assured." ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen say this, she was nervous and anxious for a while, but she was helpless, she didn't know what to do, she just looked at Jian Huaizhen, stomped her feet in a hurry, and said, "Princess, why do you just think about others, but you don't want to think about your own body?" What if you have something that makes you long? ”

"Scattered, don't worry, Bengong's body Bengong knows it, and Bengong also knows what kind of situation it is now. Now that King Jing is already there, if this palace doesn't take the opportunity to make a decision, it will be terrible if things continue to develop arbitrarily. In short, everything is handled by the main palace, you don't have to think so much. Okay, you now immediately help the palace to see King Jing, and after seeing King Jing later, you must be less restless, and don't, don't show the slightest eagerness. You also know that King Jing is a suspicious and cunning person, and if he accidentally sees through it, then he will act rashly next. ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen say this, Ling Luo had no choice but to nod reluctantly, so Ling Luo helped Jian Huaizhen and went to see King Jing together.

Soon, they came to King Jing's outside, and the little eunuch who was guarding outside saw Jian Huaizhen coming, knelt down with a plop, and said in a loud voice: "The eldest princess is coming, and the slave will go to tell King Jing." ”

Jian Huaizhen shook his head and said, "No need, just go in and see him by yourself." After speaking, she walked in again with scattered support, and the little eunuch had no choice but to let Jian Huaizhen go.

After Jian Huaizhen walked in, she was very nervous, she put one hand on Jian Huaizhen's arm, and raised her head to look at Jian Huaizhen quietly.

Jian Huaizhen whispered quietly: "Zero, have you forgotten what Bengong said?" ”

After hearing her say this, Zero Luo hurriedly nodded and said, "Eldest Princess, don't worry, Zero Luo knows what to do." So she lowered her head.

Jian Huaizhen saw that Ling Luo had understood what he meant, so he didn't say more, so the two of them walked in together, and when they walked inside, she saw King Jing lying on the bed, his eyes shining, as if he was thinking about something, and he was very distracted.

He was startled when he suddenly saw Jian Huaizhen, and hurriedly asked, "Eldest Princess, why are you here?" After speaking, he was about to struggle to stand up, as if he didn't expect Jian Huaizhen to come suddenly.

Jian Huaizhen said with a smile: "You are the grandson of this palace, and this palace is naturally worried about your injury, so I came to see you, are you better?" ”

"Emperor Qiqi, I am already much better, I believe that it will not be long before I can recover. The grandson thanked the eldest princess for her concern. As he spoke, he looked Jian Huaizhen up and down.

Seeing that Jian Huaizhen had a shallow outfit on his face, his face looked a little ruddy, and his whole person was also in good spirits, and he also had a new bun, and he walked quickly and powerfully, not at all like he had been poisoned, he couldn't help but be puzzled and strange.
