Chapter 41: Hidden Dragon Robe
On the other side, the Five Princes' Mansion also took action.
Huo Quan carefully stroked the dragon robe offered by his hand with his hand, and exclaimed again and again: "This adult is sensible, you see this dragon robe, it is all sewn with gold thread, and there are some jewels on it, it is a waste of thought at first glance, and when I ascend the throne, I will definitely reward him and give him a big prime minister!" ”
"Your Highness... Now that Your Majesty has not died, you are too ostentatious. Qu Ping persuaded uneasily, trying to make the man relent.
Huo Quan's eyes glared and scolded: "What do you know about the woman, my father has promised my mother, the position of the prince must be mine, I have asked the imperial doctor, my father only has half a month to live, if I don't prepare earlier, when my father dies, the palace is not in a hurry, I am also kind, when I ascend the throne, I will definitely give my father a grand funeral." ”
"But Your Highness, the matter has not yet been decided, if it is known by others, this is a great crime of rebellion." Qu Ping saw that Huo Quan was already completely immersed in the joy of being about to succeed to the throne, and his heart was even more uneasy.
Huo Quan's good mood was ruined by her, although he was angry, but thinking that after he succeeded to the throne, there were still many places where the Qu family needed help, so he swallowed his anger for the time being, stepped forward and took Qu Ping into his arms, and said softly: "Ping'er don't worry, everything is ready, and when I ascend the throne, I will make you the queen." ”
Qu Ping didn't like Huo Quan, he was dull and fat, compared to Yue Xun, it was really the difference between sand and gold, but at that time, when Yue Xun was crippled, she still chose imperial power and wealth, and now when she heard him say this, she was really moved, and leaned on Huo Quan's arms and asked, "What about the concubine?" ”
Huo Quan's concubine is a distant niece of Empress Xue, not to mention that she looks mediocre, the key is that she is weak, if it weren't for Xue Houzi, she would have stopped taking medicine and understood, Huo Quan is lustful, so he naturally doesn't want to see this concubine.
"That stupid woman, when I ascend the throne, I will give her poisoned wine and finish her off." Huo Quan raised Qu Ping's face and smiled obscenely: "How can she be so beautiful, generous, intelligent and charming as our Ping'er." ”
Qu Ping's eyes were like silk, don't look over, Huo Quan's Adam's apple moved slightly, and he was about to kiss him, and the door was pushed open by someone.
"Okay, you Huo Quan, you, you..." Xue Zhengfei trembled her hands and pointed at the two people in the room, even if she was not favored on weekdays, she was still insulted by the two of them now.
Huo Quan looked at the puncture and wanted to appease, Xue Zhengfei saw the dragon robe with sharp eyes, pushed him away and tore off the dragon robe on the shelf, and smiled coldly: "Okay, before my father died, you have this kind of thought, and you still want to understand me, so you don't take the Xue family in your eyes, and when I die, the next step is to attack my aunt!" ”
"What are you talking about?" Huo Quan snatched the dragon robe and probed around, but the people in the courtyard were all separated by him early.
"You dare to say no!" Concubine Xue Zheng was angry and vomited a mouthful of blood on the dragon robe, she grabbed the dragon robe tightly, and pulled out: "Go, you will enter the palace with me now to see your father, aunt, and queen mother!" You're going to give me an explanation anyway. ”
Huo Quan flipped her to the ground, looked at the soiled dragon robe and was furious: "You slut." Then he slapped her a few times: "You tattered body should have died a long time ago!" If I hadn't thought of my mother and took care of you, you might not have lived a long time ago. ”
Xue Zhengfei covered her face and cried bitterly and scolded Huo Quan's wolf's heart, then got up with the door panel, and threatened to enter the palace to ask for an explanation, Huo Quanqi grabbed her hard, but she didn't think that she didn't stand firmly, her forehead slammed on the pillar, blood splashed everywhere, Qu Ping trembled and stepped forward to check, collapsed, Xue Zhengfei was already lifeless.
"Your Highness, the concubine is dead." Qu Ping bit his handkerchief and stared wide, very frightened.
Huo Quan looked at the blood splashed on his hands, wiped it vigorously but there were still traces, he was also afraid in his heart, trembling all over, he was afraid that his father would treat him with a big crime of rebellion, and he was afraid that he would lose the support of his mother, so he was in a hurry and killed someone by mistake.
"How, what." Huo Quan squatted down with his head in his hands, trying his best to still have an empty head, he stepped forward and grabbed Qu Ping, and was weak and about to shed tears: "Ping'er, Ping'er, you are smart, you want to think of a way, you want to think of a way!" ”
Qu Ping was also anxious, if the truth was known, not only her, but even the entire Qu family would not be able to escape, she gritted her teeth and stabilized Huo Quan: "Concubine Zheng's health is not good, she has worked too hard for the affairs of the house, and her old illness has recurred, what does Your Highness think?" ”
Huo Quan's eyes lit up, and he nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, the concubine's old illness has relapsed, quickly find someone to help the concubine clean up, report to the palace, and bury the concubine." ”
"Yes." Qu Ping got up by the door panel, and when he saw the tragic situation of the concubine on the side, he felt furious in his heart, and hurriedly took a big step and walked out.
Huo Quan also saw Xue Zhengfei's glaring, quickly picked up the tablecloth and covered her, and when he saw the dirty dragon robe in his hand, he felt sorry for a while, and took it under the box to hide it, planning to send someone to clean it in a few days, but he didn't expect that such a move would make him miss the position of the prince.
As instructed, the imperial physician increased the dose of tonic and applied injections, and Emperor Qi slowly woke up.
The Empress Dowager took Empress Xue, Concubine Wen and the three princes in the palace early, Emperor Qi looked at everyone, and roughly guessed that his time was almost up, and now it was up to him to explain what was going on.
"Your Majesty, you are awake, the concubine is so worried." Empress Xue rushed forward and grabbed Emperor Qi's hand, crying heartbreakingly.
Emperor Qi looked at Empress Xue's withered yellow face with two lines of tears, it was not beautiful at all, and he just wanted to open his mouth to reprimand, but thinking that there were historians standing around, his words and deeds were going to be recorded in history, and he coughed lightly and his voice was extremely hoarse: "What is the queen doing?" Hurry up. ”
"Your Majesty, Quan'er is also worried about you, and takes care of you day and night." Empress Xue pulled Huo Quan beside her to kneel, and Huo Quan cried with tears in his eyes.
Emperor Qi just woke up and was messed up by the mother and son, frowning, this is clearly an invitation, the queen is reminding him not to forget the agreement between them, Emperor Qi fixed his eyes and saw that Huo Quan was more fat than before, where did he seem to be doing his best, and then look at the third and sixth children, that is really thin, the two of them look tired, and they are overworked at a glance.
The Empress Dowager couldn't stand it at first, Huo Quan couldn't find anyone all day and was embarrassed to say that she took care of him day and night, but she didn't embarrass him on the spot, but angrily reprimanded: "The emperor is not dead yet, what is crying and crying!" ”
Xue Hou closed his mouth when he heard this, and Huo Quan also hung his head and wiped away his snot and tears. The corners of Emperor Qi's mouth twitched, and this grandmother scolded him, what does it mean that the emperor is not dead, what he said is really not good at all.
"Your Majesty, the mourning family brought you over today, and there is no need to say what the purpose is." The Empress Dowager looked at Emperor Qi on the bed and sighed, even her grandson couldn't survive her.
Emperor Qi looked at Dou's old but energetic appearance, and then looked at his current situation of being powerless, even if he could only recognize the reality no matter how he could, he nodded: "My limit is approaching, and it's time to explain the future." ”
The historians on both sides hurried forward, picked up their pens and listened attentively, for fear of missing an important sentence.
Emperor Qi struggled to get up, but his whole body was weak, and Empress Xue wanted to step forward to help him when he saw this, but was preempted by Concubine Wen.
"Your Majesty." Concubine Wen's pear blossoms brought rain, and I felt pity when I saw it, and Emperor Qi's heart instantly softened.
Empress Xue glared at her, hating her so much that she couldn't bear it.
"After I die, the funeral will be simple, and don't waste more people's effort." Emperor Qi pretended to be a Ming Jun, but everyone present knew in their hearts that he had already placed countless gold, silver and jewels in his imperial tomb.
"Also, Duan Shu wants to go to the Xiongnu as soon as possible, and I want to see my most beloved daughter get married before I die." Emperor Qi hypocritically squeezed out a few tears.
Empress Xue raised her head and looked at Emperor Qi suspiciously, obviously saying that she would delay the peace and affinity, but now what kind of calculation is this, it doesn't matter if the harmony is sooner or later, but the position of the prince...
"Your Majesty, what about the position of the prince?" Empress Xue was not afraid of offending him, and said angrily: "The prince is undecided, Li Guo is uneasy, please make plans early!" ”
Emperor Qi glared at her angrily, even if he promised it, it would definitely be done, why rush to force him, he glanced at Huo Quan, and saw that he was full of pride, as if he had ascended the throne, no matter how unwilling he was, he could only accept his fate.
"The position of the prince is from five..."Before Emperor Qi finished speaking, a guard came from outside the door to report, and Lord Zhang had an urgent matter to see.
"Let him wait! Don't you see that Your Majesty is explaining the big things! Xue Hou was extremely angry, scolding like a shrew, she obviously heard the beginning of the five words, and she was almost that little.
Although the guards were afraid, they still stiffened their necks, presented the token and shouted: "Lord Zhang has an urgent order to see the emperor, the empress dowager." ”
The so-called emergency order refers to the token issued by the emperor to allow the senior officials of the court and the central government to report important matters in an emergency, all the way to the inner court of the palace without hindrance.
"Let him in." The Empress Dowager glared at Empress Xue with a narrowed look in her eyes: "Empress, you don't have to rush the matter of the prince, you say, right?" ”
Empress Xue was pressed by Dou's aura, and then realized that Fang Cai had behaved inappropriately, and lowered his head and said yes.
Dressed in official uniforms, Master Zhang stepped into the inner hall and saw everyone kneeling: "Emperor Weichen, the Empress Dowager, the Empress and all the princes." ”
"Zhang Aiqing is so anxious and broke in with an urgent order, but what's the matter?" The Empress Dowager knocked on her crutches and asked sternly.
Emperor Qi raised his heavy eyelids, since someone spoke for him, then he still saved some effort and kept it for later.
"Back to the Empress Dowager, there is a big event! Weichen handled the affairs of the imperial tomb for the emperor, and found that His Majesty's dragon robe in the imperial tomb was stolen. Master Zhang knocked his head on the ground, very panicked.
Huo Quan on the side trembled, Lord Zhang obviously dedicated the dragon robe to himself, congratulating himself on his upcoming enthronement and becoming emperor, how could this become a dragon robe and be stolen. Huo Quan forced himself to calm down, no matter how stupid he was, he thought that he had been tricked. Now the dragon robe is still hidden under the box by him, if it is discovered, this is a great crime of rebellion!
