Liu Xin will not fight with the queen for the sake of Chu Tiankuo and offend the queen. But for the sake of the emperor, he was willing to sacrifice himself. Although, he is sometimes quite timid, often scolding his eunuchs and palace maids, and he is a little greedy for life and afraid of death. However, he has a sincere heart that is loyal to the monarch and patriotic, which does not contradict his character.

So, in order to go in to see the emperor, Liu Xin was not afraid of offending the queen: "Let the chief manager go in, if the queen is to blame, the chief manager will bear it." ”

"This ......" The guards looked embarrassed and begged bitterly: "Manager Liu, please don't embarrass us." ”

Liu Xin turned his heart sideways, with a black face, looking like a piece of charcoal, and said angrily: "What? The emperor is sick, and the chief manager can't go in and take a look? You even have U coins in your eyes? ”

Those guards hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed to let Liu Xin enter the Heavenly Dragon Hall to meet the emperor. They are afraid of the queen, the emperor, and Liu Xin. Since Liu Xin said that he was willing to bear the queen's blame, they had to reluctantly let him in.

They withdrew their weapons such as swords, guns, swords, halberds, and made way for Liu Xin to swagger in.

When Liu Xin walked into the dormitory, he saw several eunuchs and palace maids in the inner room, guarding the dragon bed.

The eunuchs and palace maids guarding the bed were surprised to see Liu Xin, and hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Manager Liu." ”

Liu Xin put his index finger to his mouth and made a 'shhh' motion. He walked lightly to the dragon bed where the emperor was lying and looked at the sleeping emperor.

I saw the emperor lying quietly on the bed, motionless, only frowning from time to time, as if he had some unpleasant dream, and as if he had been frightened in a dream. In that way, it looked like it was asleep, not like it was unconscious at all.

Liu Xin called a palace maid aside, and whispered to her with a straight face: "During this time, has the emperor ever woken up?" Be honest! ”

The palace maid was frightened by Liu Xin's fierce look. She thought about it carefully, shook her head, and then nodded again. She said ambiguously: "The emperor has been asleep." However, I saw the emperor move with my own eyes, and we all thought that the emperor was about to wake up. As a result, he rolled over and fell asleep again. ”

Liu Xin was surprised, surprised and delighted: "You mean, the emperor is just asleep?" This realization made him extremely excited. If that's the case, that's great. He also thought that the emperor was really sick, and he was worried.

Who knows, the palace maid hurriedly denied it again: "Manager Liu, in fact, I don't know." I don't know if it's my hallucination, or you can ask the others. ”

Then, Liu Xin asked a few palace maids, and they all said the same. The emperor was not unconscious, but asleep. Now, he somewhat understood why the empress didn't let outsiders contact the emperor.

In fact, the emperor was not seriously ill, but simply asleep. So, did the empress deliberately announce that the emperor was seriously ill in order to lure Chu Tiankuo to come?

It's a well-planned bureau.

However, the emperor was simply asleep, why didn't he wake up for so long? Why? Under normal circumstances, a person will wake up automatically after a certain amount of sleep.

Unless...... Taken a tranquilizer?

When thinking like this, Liu Xin's thinking gradually became clearer, and he asked: "Who handled the medicine that the emperor usually drinks?" ”

"Back to Manager Liu, the medicine that the emperor drank was prescribed by Imperial Doctor Hao, and it was boiled by the queen's people himself, without going through our hands."

Liu Xin already knew it in his heart.

At this time, a palace maid added: "At this time in the past, the medicine should have been delivered." ”

Liu Xin thought of it at once, and on the way here, he bumped into him around the corner and smashed the medicine bowl. He couldn't help but rejoice that this bowl of medicine fell very skillfully. Fortunately, the emperor didn't drink the medicine.

He suddenly thought of a question and asked casually: "I heard that King Yong'an is here, where is he now?" ”

The palace maids were sincerely frightened, and honestly explained: "King Yong'an is indeed here to accompany the emperor. A few moments ago, people from Tianfeng Hall came to report that the queen was not feeling well and asked King Yong'an to take a look. ”

These palace maids seem to be much more dull than the others in the palace, and they don't beat around the bush.

Liu Xin nodded suddenly in understanding, and his face was clear about everything. Obviously, in front of the Bright Moon Palace, the queen ordered someone to take down Chu Tiankuo, and also issued a beheading order in public. Why is she uncomfortable now? Looking at the way she dealt with Chu Tiankuo, she was full of energy and fighting spirit.

Could it be that the queen expected that he would come back to King Yong'an for help, so she took King Yong'an away in advance?

In this way, it is very likely that the queen will sue the wicked first, and whitewash Chu Tiankuo's matter in advance and inform King Yong'an. The worst thing is that the queen left King Yong'an in the Tianfeng Palace, and it is impossible for him to meet King Yong'an.

What can I do? Fortunately, there is no endless road, and now there is still a glimmer of hope to save Chu Tiankuo. That is to hope that the emperor will wake up miraculously.

Half an hour later, a palace maid came in with medicine, Liu Xin identified it, and recognized this palace maid as the one who dropped the medicine bowl.

He handed over the medicine bowl from the palace maid's hand, and said coldly: "Come on, control her!" ”

Immediately, two eunuchs were ordered to take the palace maid hostage. One of them clasped the maid's arm with both hands, and she struggled.

The palace maid was shocked and screamed, "Manager Liu, what do you mean by this? ”

Obviously, when the bowl was broken at that time, Liu Xin didn't pursue it, why did he go back on his word in the blink of an eye? This is clearly a reckoning after the fall.

Liu Xin stepped forward with a medicine bowl and shouted at the palace maid: "Open your mouth and pour the medicine down." ”

The palace maid understood his intentions at once. Drink it, it's all right when you're done. She opened her mouth automatically and drank the medicine. She thinks that she has not done anything and has a clear conscience. Just drink it, it's not a big deal. If she doesn't drink it, Liu Xin has a way to force her to drink.

An hour passed, and the palace maid who had drunk the medicine did not fall asleep. This was a bit unexpected by Liu Xin.

It's weird, it stands to reason that this medicine should have a hypnotic effect. Why is she okay after drinking?

After some interrogation, he learned that this medicine was not boiled by the queen's hands, but re-prescribed by Imperial Physician Li.

He slapped the back of his head, frustrated. Why is he so confused that he doesn't even ask beforehand? It's really more and more chaotic.

As soon as he startled the snake like this, the queen knew that she would definitely stop if she showed her feet. In this way, wouldn't it be impossible to catch her?

Liu Xin secretly blamed himself for being too impulsive.

This night, Liu Xin guarded the emperor inch by inch, did not let the emperor eat anything again, let alone let the emperor drink medicine again, and no one even let him get a drop. He was afraid that someone would drug again, so that the emperor would not wake up for a long time.

Fortunately, the queen and King Yong'an were in the Tianfeng Palace, and they didn't come to disturb him, so his protection plan could be carried out.
