Chapter 1257: Extra: Ming Palace Sunset (4)
This compartment is in the side hall of the imperial palace Ciqing Palace.
Coaxed the crown prince Zhu Youxiao, who was doing carpentry work, and pulled Wei Zhongxian to the inner hall, Ke Yinyue said with a disgusted face: "You, what are you busy with all day, so I can't see anyone for a long time." ”
"Do you think that the emperor and the crown prince, the eldest and the youngest, are easy to serve," Wei Zhongxian sighed lightly, "If I don't mess with them all well, can our good life last long?" ”
"That's-" Ke Yinyue was silent for a moment, nodded in agreement, thought of something, and said a little funny, "Hey, I see this emperor, he is looking through the book "Mandarin Duck Secret Book" you presented every day, and he is fascinated. ”
"The first emperor is rich, and our emperor is lustful," Wei Zhongxian said with a narrowing of his eyes, "However, this is not enough to just read books and draw gourds, so we have to give him a strong medicine." ”
"What do you mean?" Ke Yinyue looked puzzled.
Wei Zhongxian tugged at the corners of his lips, raised his hand and took out a small white porcelain bottle with a red stopper from his arms and held it to her: "What do you see this?" ”
"......" eyes fell on the small bottle, Ke Yinyue only felt a shock in her heart, and said a little uneasily, "With the emperor's physique, can he withstand this thing?" ”
"If you can't bear it, it's not necessarily a bad thing for us," Wei Zhongxian glanced sideways at Zhu Youxiao, who was concentrating on setting up the room model outside, and the ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, "If our Royal Highness can ascend to the big treasure, you and I will have whatever I want." ”
"Heh, ha-" Ke Yinyue lowered her eyes and couldn't help laughing, and her face showed a look of eagerness to try at the same time.
Jiang Shu and Zhu Changxun rushed to the capital with Hua'er, and just after entering the city gate, they heard the news that Zhu Changluo, who was the emperor, had died in the first night of September yesterday.
At this time, it was only a month before he held the enthronement ceremony in the Imperial Palace.
And about the reason for this death, it is said that on a night more than ten days ago, eight maids were summoned at the same time, resulting in the body being hollowed out, a sickness, continuous treatment for several days without improvement, sick and rushed to the doctor, so that the master of ceremonies who knows medical skills Bingbi eunuch and the head of the imperial pharmacy Cui Wensheng prescribed a prescription, did not want to use it after the diarrhea, went to the toilet thirty or forty times overnight, resulting in collapse and coma, after the Honglu Temple Cheng Li Kezhuo into the red pill that is said to be the elixir, took one, the spirit is very good, three days later, that is, yesterday, took another one, I didn't want to die suddenly in the middle of the night.
At the time of the enthronement ceremony, the new emperor was still high-spirited and hard-working, and in just one month, he was gone, becoming the emperor who reigned for the shortest time since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.
Because Cui Wensheng was a close attendant of Concubine Zheng in the past and now Concubine Zheng, the celebrant Bingbi and the head of the imperial pharmacy who were promoted not long ago, she became the first person to be suspected.
Although there are different opinions outside, Jiang Shu and Zhu Changxun don't believe this. Even if there are some festivals between her and Zhu Changluo because of the past dispute over the throne and the fact that she was not named the queen mother in accordance with the will of the emperor, she and Zhu Changluo will not be so careless about killing the monarch.
Wanting to know how things were going, the two didn't stay outside for long, so they hurried to the palace in the inner city with Hua'er.
