Chapter 399: Palace, Eye of the Storm!
In the deep palace, Qiluo incense bursts, and between the curtains, a slender figure came to the bed with a pill.
"Your Majesty, it's time to drink medicine."
"I still think the official family is better, which makes me feel closer to the world." Zhao Kuangyin took the medicine cup, smelled the fragrant medicinal soup and frowned slightly, raised his head to look at the woman in front of him.
"Official, Concubine Zhen came and said she wanted to see you, but you were still resting at that time, and the slave didn't dare to disturb you, so she let Concubine Zhen go back first," said the woman who looked like a palace maid.
"Well, you didn't have to stay with me today." Zhao Kuangyin said, sat up from the bed, took the medicine cup and drank it all, and then got out of bed and dressed under the service of the palace maid.
It was originally a burly frame, but at this time, wearing a wide dragon robe actually looked a little uncomfortable, Zhao Kuangyin had lost so much weight in a short period of time.
"Forget it, you go down! I'll come by myself," Zhao Kuangyin said.
The goddess of the "official" palace was terrified, and she had to say something.
"Go down!"
Zhao Kuangyin repeated it coldly, and the palace maid had to tremble and withdraw from the curtain.
Not long after, Zhao Kuangyin appeared in Yue's mansion.
Mrs. Yue was taken aback. After not seeing him for a short time, Zhao Kuangyin was already full of white frost, and his appearance seemed to be haggard and much older.
"Your Majesty, what's the matter? How can you be so emaciated? ”
Zhao Kuangyin sat down and smiled faintly, "Since Xiao Qi left Da Nei, I have changed a batch of minions, and my health is much worse, maybe I was wrong." ”
Mrs. Yue's expression was moved, and she wanted to speak, but was stopped by Zhao Kuangyin with her hand.
Zhao Kuangyin continued, "I have checked, and I have also asked the imperial doctor, my body is indeed a little worried, and the medicine I am drinking now has also been quietly checked, and there is no abnormality."
"The emperor's body has always been strong, how can he be so haggard in a short period of time?" Mrs. Yue still asked puzzled.
"I've tried not to drink medicine, but my temperament will be much more irritable after not drinking medicine, and every time before I drink medicine, the palace maid drinks it in front of me, and my doubts don't seem to have been verified." Zhao Kuangyin said.
"Does the emperor have something to order?" Mrs. Yue asked.
"Although there is no problem at all, I still want to try to find a doctor outside the palace to have a look." Zhao Kuangyin suddenly said in a solemn voice.
Mrs. Yue's heart suddenly shrank, her eyes were full of shock, and she muttered after a while, "The emperor is worried"
"I've been in the palace for too long, and Feiqing won't return. Even Zhao Ke and others have gone to the battlefield, and those who can speak are all heard and seen by the woodmen who chew the words, and what they see may not be as real as that, so I want to come out and take a look. ”
"Okay, I'll ask someone to invite the most famous doctor in the city." Mrs. Yue said with a solemn expression.
"Nope! You don't have to invite the most famous, you just need to have a good reputation," Zhao Kuangyin said casually.
Mrs. Yue's brows furrowed even tighter.
Not long after, a doctor left Yue's Mansion tremblingly, cold sweat soaked through his clothes, and his heart was still full of shock.
In Yue's mansion, today's face was calm, while Mrs. Yue's face was dazed.
"It turns out that I was too far wrong" Zhao Kuangyin smiled faintly, feeling bitter in his heart.
Mrs. Yue moved her lips, but she didn't know how to speak.
"I thought someone was going to deal with Qin Fang, but I didn't expect someone to be calculating me all along." Zhao Kuangyin said.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that if you went out of the palace to find a doctor today, it will soon be known." Mrs. Yue sighed cautiously.
"So what? Who should I kill? Or maybe we will investigate the matter thoroughly? Isn't that announcing to the world that I'm dying? Zhao Kuangyin's tone was bleak.
Mrs. Yue sighed, but she was helpless and didn't know what to do.
"After I die, you leave the capital, go to Feiqing, let him come back, I still have a token to give you!" Zhao Kuangyin said, turned over his hand and took out a piece of iron order, which was the kind that had been given to Song Yi.
Mrs. Yue refused. "Xue'er is still in the palace, let's leave this brand to her, sooner or later, it will be used!"
"I know that it will be too late for me to change to the piano side now, but even if I am incompetent, Xue'er can still protect it, and this token must be used outside the palace!" Zhao Kuangyin said, "You should also know that this matter should not be publicized!" If I don't preach it, at least I can do something, and if I preach it, I'm afraid I won't be able to do anything. ”
"The forbidden army in the capital, the garrison army in various places, are still loyal to the saint." Mrs. Yue said.
"Not to mention the question of whether it will come in time, but that will definitely shake the current stability of the Great Zhao Kingdom, and I am afraid that the world will fall into chaos again. Although Zhao Ze is a little scheming, he hopes that he will be an emperor with some deeds after he gets his wish, as for Qin Fang, he is far away in Jiangnan, so it is best not to come back. Zhao Kuangyin said.
"Your Majesty, do you really think that Zhao Ze can become a good emperor at this moment?" Mrs. Yue asked with a bitter face.
"This is my sorrow, I know that I am wrong, but I am still wrong to the end, because I have no choice, I am afraid that even if Feiqing returns at this time, it will be difficult to turn the tide!" Zhao Kuangyin said.
"Remember the last chess game? You have a black piece to turn over, I'll show you the game now"
"No need, I believe that Song Yi could have become a teacher for future generations, I thought that if Zhao Ze did not become a big weapon, I could let Song Yi get closer to Qin Fang and let him experience in the army, and Qin Fang tried to experience the hardships of the people in Jiangnan If I have more time, maybe it will be too late! It's just that you heard the doctor's words just now, and it's too late for me," Zhao Kuangyin said solemnly.
Mrs. Yue was silent, but her heart was also chaotic, because the storm that should have come was too big, big enough to destroy the entire Great Zhao Dynasty, she was a woman, even if she had ideas, where could she compare with Zhao Kuangyin.
"That's it, fulfill him, I will leave something with you, and only you can believe it now! After I die, you leave the capital, find Feiqing, and when you come back, I will let Qin Fang never enter Beijing in Jiangnan! Zhao Kuangyin said seriously, put down the iron order, and then wrote something in the Yue Mansion, and turned back to the palace city that he had personally supervised.
Mrs. Yue sat in a daze for a long time, and then began to sort out and prepare for the storm.
She already knew that the poison in Zhao Kuangyin was called 'Tomorrow Qiluo Xiang', which was mixed with ingredients that soothe the fetus and soothe the nerves, which was non-toxic. However, it cannot be mixed with the ambergris fragrance in the palace, which will produce a chronic poison, which will be infected.
This is a truth that even a little common sense will understand, but strangely, the imperial doctors in the palace did not mention this.
And Zhao Kuangyin, at this time, was already poisoned and failed
The sunset was like blood, shining on the highest attic of the palace, and Zhao Kuangyin's white hair was like snow.
The little princess Zhao Jingxue held the corner of her father's clothes with a distressed expression and said, "Father, don't be old"
Zhao Kuangyin smiled and said, "I'm not old, I just miss you Seventh Brother, didn't Song Yi tell you that there is a kind of longing in poetry called 'hair like snow'?" ”
"Huh. Father, you've never said such a sensual thing! I told Brother Qin Fang that he would be very happy, right, why don't you send a holy decree to Brother Qin Fang to come back? Zhao Jingxue listened to Zhao Kuangyin's words and said in surprise.
"Can't get him back yet! Your brother Qinfang has to experience the suffering of the people, so that he can understand how to help the world and think of him, I can let you go to Jiangnan to play for a while, but remember not to mess around, Jiangnan is not as good as the palace. Zhao Kuangyin said.
Zhao Jingxue was overjoyed at first, but then frowned slightly and said with some doubts, "But I'm also leaving, won't there be no one in the palace to accompany you, my father?" I'd better stay with you. ”
A warm smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Kuangyin's mouth, and he stroked Zhao Jingxue's hair and said dotingly, "How can I be lonely? I am accompanied by your concubine and aunt, and the two royal sisters you like, I will not be lonely."
Zhao Jingxue wrinkled her nose slightly when she heard this, and snorted jealously, "Father is Huaxin, then I will go to Jiangnan to play with Brother Qinfang for a few days, and then I will tell him what you said today, hehe"
"Go to Jiangnan, I used to like Jiangnan back then," Zhao Kuangyin said, slightly distracted, as if he had fallen into some kind of memory
The palace maid was about to dress Zhao Kuangyin, but suddenly Zhao Kuangyin grabbed her slender hand, and then looked at her with a cold look and asked, "Who is the child in your belly?" ”
The palace maid's face changed greatly, her mouth grew up, she couldn't make any sound, and her eyes were full of fear.
"Say, "Whose is it?" Who told you to stay with me? Zhao Kuangyin asked coldly, but his expression was calm.
The palace maid's face turned pale, and after a long time, she replied sadly, "It was His Royal Highness King Kang and King Kang who let the slaves stay by your side." ”
"Huh. So, you are pregnant with my grandson, but you have come to poison me? Zhao Kuangyin said with a smile.
The palace maid's face changed greatly, and she shook her head with an unknown expression, "The slave maid doesn't dare, the slave maid just heard that you are closer to the emperor and serve you well, and the slave maid's child will be recognized by King Kang!" ”
Zhao Kuangyin smiled coldly, let go of the palace maid's hand and said, "I won't kill you, if you can survive, count your fate and don't need you to serve in the future, you go out of the palace, where do you come from, where do you go back!" ”
"Slaves don't dare, slaves and maids should die!" The palace maid knelt down, tears streaming down her face, and her face was full of fear.
If Song Yi was there, if he saw this palace maid looking up, he would definitely recognize her as Master Ning's maid when he was in Xiaofan Building.
From this day on, the palace of the imperial capital will be the eye of the storm.
