Chapter 438: Wounded

Chen Cao walked out of the palace gate and was supported by Shang Gong to go to the inner palace, Chen Cao lost too much blood and soon fainted.

When he opened his eyes again, Chen Cao was lying on the bed in the inner hall of the Qianqing Palace, Li Xiang was sitting on the edge of the bed, and when he saw Chen Cao wake up, he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly asked the imperial doctor to come and see.

Chen Cao looked at his abdomen, which had already been wrapped with gauze, and Li Xiang said: "Your Majesty's military doctor personally went out and gave twelve stitches in the abdomen, Chen Cao, do you want to die?" ”

Since becoming married, Li Xiang called Chen Cao's name for the first time, which also made Chen Cao stunned for a moment, and then sat up with Li Xiang's support, and the wound hurt so much that he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Don't be reckless, what did you do in the past, I never asked, but now you are the emperor, the co-master of the world, your safety is not a joke, if you really like it, I will let the Ministry of Rites select show girls from all over the world to enter Beijing for you to choose from, I don't believe that I can't choose the same as Zhou's, I think there must be more stronger than her;"

The more Li Xiang said, the more angry he became: "I don't know what kind of virtue you have in this life, you always like other people's women, let me ask you, I was born in a good family, and I have never been married, are you sincere in marrying me?" ”

Chen Cao coughed, the gauze directly saw blood, Li Xiang hurriedly stopped saying anything when he saw this, and immediately patted Chen Cao's chest gently: "Okay, I'm talking about anger, don't worry." ”

Chen Cao slowly calmed down, and then squeezed Li Xiang's hand: "Xiang'er is angry, isn't it that I personally stipulated that the emperor's concubines should not exceed thirty-six, my body will not be able to do it in the future, now, I can still move, hehe..."

"You're embarrassed to joke, Zhou's slut's knife almost killed you, and the military doctor said that at most an inch would hurt your internal organs, and at that time, even the Daluo Immortals couldn't save it."

After saying that, Li Xiang actually began to cry, and Chen Cao hurriedly spoke: "I, Chen Cao, have married Xiang'er in this life, as long as I don't end my life, I'm afraid it will be difficult to die, and I can't die if you die." ”

Li Xiang lightly hammered Chen Cao's chest: "You don't keep the door on your mouth..."

After the hammer, he stopped crying and began to laugh, and after the atmosphere eased, Li Xiang said with a straight face: "I have asked the grandmother of the Shen Criminal Division to lock up the Zhou family, and the crime of assassinating the emperor is unforgivable, so I will let the Shen Criminal Division stick her to death, so as not to leave any trouble." ”

"Wait..."

Li Xiang turned around, looked at Chen Cao, and said mockingly: "What, the emperor likes her taste?" This woman is really harboring evil intentions, and she chooses to act at your last moment, leaving you defenseless. ”

Li Xiang was a little embarrassed after speaking, Chen Cao also knew, just when he finished venting, Zhou deliberately raised his voice to distract himself, and then took out a dagger from under the pillow to move, otherwise, relying on Zhou's thin body, it was really impossible to assassinate Chen Cao.

Li Xiang looked at Chen Cao with disdain: "That slut has the emperor's essence in her body, and the emperor is in good health, if she is allowed to conceive a dragon seed like the Zhang family, I will see how the emperor will end up." ”

Chen Cao sat up desperately and said coldly: "Xiang'er, I'll deal with this matter, you go and appease the harem." ”

Li Xiang stomped his feet angrily: "You are really hopeless, I don't care..."

Li Wan'er didn't go to Chen Cao after hearing about this, he knew what kind of character Chen Cao was, so he went straight to the Shen Criminal Department of the Internal Affairs Office and saw Zhou who was detained in a special room.

Zhou's expression was silent, his face was resolute, and when Li Wan'er walked into the house, she didn't even raise her head.

"I've seen the imperial concubine..."

The crowd outside the Shen Criminal Division saluted Li Wan'er one after another, Li Wan'er looked coldly at Zhou who was sitting in the haystack, and then said: "Drag her out and call the Minister of Internal Affairs to come over, the palace will do it yourself today." ”

Zhou didn't react at all, and let the eunuchs and palace maids drag her out of the room like a dead dog and lay down on the bench in the courtyard.

Since Chen Cao ascended the throne, the eunuch is slowly about to fade out of the historical stage, according to the regulations, the future Minister of Internal Affairs is to fill the civil office, of course, the Minister of Internal Affairs who can serve as the Minister of Internal Affairs are the emperor's cronies, this session of the Minister of Internal Affairs is Wei Zhongxian, but because he is located in Hangzhou, it is the affairs of the Internal Affairs Office by the Associate Minister to take care of it, the assistant minister is the original Nanjing Internal Affairs Office Zhishi, the old guy is more than seventy, every day on the Yamen is also a formality, just today happened such a big thing.

When he walked into the compound of the Shen Penal Division, he found that the person who pressed him on the bench was actually Queen Zhou of Chongzhen, and he was immediately shocked, and asked the civil official instinctively: "I have seen the imperial concubine Niangniang, the minister has the courage to ask what happened to Queen Zhou?" ”

Li Wan'er had killed people on the battlefield, and at this moment, her face was pale, she stared at the old man, and said coldly: "Chongzhen Empress Zhou Yufeng premeditated to assassinate the emperor in the deep palace, and the palace will execute according to the law, and kill the Zhou family with a cane..."

The old man was shocked, he stumbled and almost fell to the ground, Li Wan'er said to the eunuch beside him: "You are optimistic about Master Zhang, he is old, and Wei Zhongxian has not come back, but there is no mistake." ”

After speaking, he stared at a few eunuchs with big shoulders and round waists and said, "By order, kill the Zhou family with a cane, and do it immediately." ”

The four eunuchs stepped forward together, one pressed his upper body, one pressed his feet, and the other turned his head and asked, "Niangniang, do you want to take off your clothes?" ”

Li Wan'er sneered: "It's all people who are going to die, and you don't need to humiliate her, where did you get so much nonsense, do it." ”

The eunuch was frightened by Li Wan'er, and immediately gave the accomplice opposite a look, and the two rolled up their sleeves, and were about to kill for a moment, when they heard a shout outside the door: "Stop..."

Zhao Xin walked into the Shen Criminal Division quickly, and hugged his fist towards Li Wan'er: "Weichen has seen the imperial concubine..."

"Zhao Xin, what do you want to do?"

Zhao Xin's face was serious: "Niangniang, the emperor is here." ”

Li Wan'er didn't know how serious Chen Cao's injuries were, and when she heard the news, she immediately came to the Shen Criminal Division, and before she had time to visit, she saw that Chen Cao was carried into the Shen Criminal Division by a group of Han generals, and the people in the courtyard stepped forward to salute when they saw this.

"Your Majesty..."

Li Wan'er hurriedly stepped forward, and immediately saw the injury in his abdomen, and a burst of fire broke out: "This slut, do it, kill her." ”

"Bastard..."

Chen Cao scolded a few eunuchs, then looked at Li Wan'er and said with a smile: "Wan'er, you are all a mother, your temper must be changed, and you can't be hot." ”

"Your Majesty, you see that you are so badly injured." Li Wan'er said, her eyes welled up with tears.

Chen Cao smiled: "It's not heavy, it's not heavy at all compared to the sword you stabbed me back then." ”

"You are still in the mood to joke at this time, Zhou stabbed you, if you don't punish it, it will give a good excuse to someone with a heart. Moreover, you are the emperor, and you must focus on the overall situation. ”

Chen Cao laughed, endured the pain and looked at the Zhou family who had already looked at him and said: "It's all dispersed, the Zhou family's affairs will be dealt with later, and I am intact, and I don't need anyone to accompany me to the funeral, Li Shanggong, you take someone to send the Zhou family to Cining Palace, and hand it over to Empress Zhang to take care of, and her affairs will be taken care of later." ”

"Yes..."

Chen Cao prevented Li Wan'er from continuing to go crazy, so he pretended to be in pain and said: "Wan'er, accompany me to your palace, I know you have a good gold sore medicine, hurry up and have one." ”

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to the Imperial Concubine..."

Zhang Yan was still a little unclear when she saw Zhou, but as soon as Li Shanggong told Chen Cao about the assassination of Chen Cao, Zhang Yan suddenly lost her soul, and it wasn't until Li Shanggong left, that she looked at Zhou with an indifferent face, and said with a wry smile: "Sister, what's the matter?" ”

Zhou raised his head, looked at Zhang Yan, and then sneered: "Zhang Yan, do you completely ignore the future of the Zhu family?" ”

Zhang Yan was surprised that the Zhou family directly called her name, but now she didn't care about this, so she said: "Sister, the Zhu family's vassal kings are gone, do you think you can really revive the Zhu family with the support of the Tartars?" The situation caused by the two brothers of Emperor Xizong, no one can change it, and only Chen Cao can control it, otherwise... This Ming will not be a Ming Dynasty in the future. ”

"Zhang Yan, are you pregnant with Chen Cao's seed?"

Only then did Zhou find that Zhang Yan's stomach was bulging, and his face was sad and indignant: "You... You... You're... Are you worthy of the Zhu family? ”

Zhang Yan smiled bitterly and shook her head, not wanting to worry about this issue with the Zhou family, so she looked at her grandmother and said, "Take her down to rest and serve her well." ”

Chen Cao naturally didn't know about the affairs of Cining Palace, and at this moment he dragged his sick body to sit on the throne of Qianqing Palace to meet important people.

These people more or less know about his injury, but it is related to the royal secrets, and some words dare not be spread nonsense, Gao Chong took the lead in clenching his fists: "Emperor, the news from my secret agent in Dongchang in Shandong has some actions. ”

Chen Cao took the official document from Zhao Xin's hand, then examined it carefully, and then said: "Zhao Xin, immediately call Huang Chunyao and all of them, as well as the people from the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies." ”

"Emperor, your body?"

Chen Cao straightened up: "Military affairs are important, go immediately." ”

Not long after, more than a dozen people all arrived in the Qianqing Palace, Chen Cao asked people to bring stools for them to sit down, and then said: "The news from the secret agent of the former Beijing Chengdong Factory that the East Factory is stored in the East Factory, Huang Taiji intends to fight to the death with our army in Beijing, but there is another one, the Qing army is moving the Eight Banners that entered Beijing back to Liaodong. ”

Zou Weilian arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the Tartars are going to give up the north." ”

Huang Chunyao also gave his hand: "The minister seconded the proposal, Your Majesty, the action to contact the Chahar Department must be fast, and the Tartars must not be allowed to leave a chance to go to the desert." ”

Chen Yan also said: "Your Majesty, the minister previously obtained the map of Nuer Gandusi from the Ministry of Rites, and after the north is the territory of Tsarist Russia. ”

Chen Cao tried not to let them see that he was injured, so he said: "Huang Taiji will not go to Tsarist Russia, because after crossing the Heilongjiang River, it is the territory of their sworn enemies Cossacks, Wan Qing told me that he fought with the Cossacks several times when Nurhachi was alive, so they fled north to the Heilongjiang River at most..."
