Chapter 3 The Palace Maiden Who Hides the Murderous Intention!

"Lord Regent, spare your life!"

The guards dragged the imperial physician and the eunuch Wei Zhong and were about to go out, when Yuwen Shihong suddenly raised his hand to stop him.

"Wait!"

Yu Wenhao looked at Yu Wen Shihong suspiciously.

"Hong'er, what's the matter?"

Yuwen Shihong said with a smile.

"Uncle Huang, Wei Zhong and Imperial Physician Chen are both old slaves who are easy to use for their nephews, I am afraid that today's incident is a momentary mistake, and it is understandable, please ask Uncle Huang to spare their lives."

Yuwen Hao paused, glanced at Yuwen Shihong a few times, and then smiled.

"Since Hong'er said so, what are you minions still doing in a daze? Quickly release Imperial Physician Chen and Manager Wei. ”

Imperial Physician Chen and Wei Zhong broke free from the restraints and hurriedly buckled their heads to thank them.

"Thank you for sparing your life!"

The matter passed, and no one in the harem dared to mention it.

Yuwen Shihong still remembered the Northern Zhou War in his heart, and asked again.

"Ministers, does anyone know what is going on with our army's front line and Northern Qi?"

He secretly knew himself in his heart that he knew the other side, and he would not be defeated in a hundred battles.

The most important thing now is to figure out what the situation is.

When several ministers heard Yuwen Shihong ask this, they couldn't help but turn their eyes to Yuwen Hao on the side.

The emperor was young, and the regent Yu Wenhao was in charge of the court, and now almost all the power was in his hands.

Compared to the emperor, the regent was more like the uncrowned king of the Northern Zhou court.

Yu Wenhao's expression paused slightly when he heard this, and he looked at Yuwen Shihong lightly, his tone was gentle but unquestionable.

"Hong'er, you are still young, the affairs of the court are still handed over to the imperial uncle to worry about you for the time being, what you have to do is to take care of your body."

Yuwen Shihong sighed in his heart when he heard this, and his heart tightened.

He didn't know if what he said just now made Yu Wenhao suspicious, but it was very obvious that Yu Wenhao didn't want to let himself ask too much about the affairs of the court.

Yuwen Shihong was a little unwilling, and tried again.

"Uncle Huang, although my nephew has just recovered from a serious illness, he has been closed for a while, and his mind is a lot clearer, as the emperor, his nephew should take responsibility and learn more about family and country affairs, so as not to let Uncle Huang be so tired."

"You ......"

Yuwen Hao looked at Yuwen Shihong deeply, and the warmth in his eyes slowly dissipated.

He said lightly: "Hong'er, don't be willful, don't you even refuse to listen to Uncle Huang's words now?" ”

Yuwen Shihong's heart sank slightly, and he looked at those ministers.

I didn't think that the ministers were lowering their heads one by one, as if they hadn't heard the conversation between the two of them.

It seems that it is not so easy to reclaim power.

Yuwen Shihong raised a smile and said, "Uncle Huang is too worried, of course my nephew listens to Uncle Huang's words." ”

He pressed the corner of his forehead, showing a slight tiredness.

"That's it, I'm also a little sleepy, let's go down first."

Yu Wenhao looked strange, didn't say anything more, and left silently with a group of ministers.

In the blink of an eye, the room was empty again.

Yuwen Shihong looked at Yuwen Hao's back as they left, and his expression was slightly heavy.

I didn't expect my current situation to be more difficult than I imagined.

The external threat has not been eradicated, and the internal court and the regent are eyeing and refusing to let go of power.

He couldn't help but think in his heart, how to protect himself?

Should we find a way to sacrifice our lives to seize power with the regent now?

But if he didn't seize power, and the army of the Northern Qi outside pressed to the imperial capital, he would still be killed.

Just as he was thinking about it, Yang Qian Xue bowed softly.

"Your Majesty, if there is nothing to do, the concubines will go back to the palace first."

Yuwen Shihong came back to his senses and couldn't help but hold Yang Qianxue's little hand, "Xue'er, can you stay and accompany me?" ”

Yang Qianxue's face was embarrassed and a little embarrassed.

"Your Majesty, the concubine Kwai Shui has not dispersed, and the cloth must be changed once in a few hours, and you must return to the palace......"

Naturally, Yuwen Shihong had no choice but to let go.

He also knew that the woman Kwai Shui, and there were no sanitary napkins in ancient times, so it was naturally more troublesome.

When night fell, Yuwen Shihong ordered two beautiful palace maids to warm the bed.

Maybe he was too tired during the day, so he didn't think much of it, and fell asleep on the bed.

In the middle of the night, Yuwen Shihong woke up in a trance and heard two palace maids whispering outside the bed tent.

"What did Imperial Doctor Chen say about that during the day? Why didn't the emperor die? ”

"I didn't dare to contact Imperial Physician Chen, but it stands to reason that Imperial Physician Chen's medicine is full, not to mention the emperor, ten cows have also been poisoned!"

"As a result, the emperor not only did not die, but also recovered!"

"Could it be that Imperial Physician Chen violated the yin and yang and did not give the poison given to him by Lord Zhang to the emperor?"

"Shhh If Master Zhang knew about this, Imperial Doctor Chen would be dead. ”

"This ......"

"Forget it, this matter is not something that our two little palace maids can manage, Master Zhang ordered us to do the task, let's do it well!"

"You say...... Are we really going to poison the emperor? ”

"It's too late to regret it now, go get something over!"

"Don't be stupid, if you don't want our old father and mother to die, you have to do it even if you lose your head!"

Then, the two little palace maids crept to the outer hall, not knowing what they were holding.

Yuwen Shihong's pajamas disappeared in his mind, and he opened his eyes covered in cold sweat.

Sure enough, there was someone behind the emperor's death, I said why was the emperor so unlucky, he died the day after marrying the queen.

Listening to the meaning of these two palace maids, there is a guy surnamed Zhang behind him who is planning this matter, and he has a plan if he can't make a plan, and he is very bold!

In the second half of the night, Yuwen Shihong didn't feel sleepy at all, for fear that as soon as he closed his eyes, he would never be able to open them again.

Early in the morning, the palace maids came to serve Yuwen Shihong to dress and wash.

Yuwen Shihong made an unguarded appearance, but in fact, he secretly observed these palace maids.

He had only heard a voice last night but had not seen a face, so he was not sure who it was.

At this time, a palace maid with a fair and delicate face took out a sachet and wanted to wear it on Yuwen Shihong's waist.

Yuwen Shihong pressed her hand and asked as if he had no intention of doing so.

"What is this?"

The palace maid trembled, her face was pale and speechless.

Seeing this, another mean-looking palace maid on the side immediately rushed forward and slapped her in the face, speaking fiercely.

"What did the emperor ask you? What are you shaking, it's really a newcomer, and you can't get on the stage! ”

After speaking, the big palace maid turned around and knelt down towards Yuwen Shihong and saluted, her face full of guilt.

"Your Majesty, this girl is a little palace maid who was just mentioned, she doesn't understand the rules, please don't blame the emperor!"

Yuwen Shihong sneered in his heart, and almost instantly concluded from his voice that it was the two palace maids in front of him.

He pretended to be kind and curious on his face, and asked, "It's okay, I'm just a little curious, what is in this sachet?" ”

The palace maid took the sachet and smiled respectfully.

"Your Majesty, this sachet is filled with ambergris, which is something sent by the envoys of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and it can strengthen the body."
