After a while, Xiao Min was finally reluctant to let go of the person in his arms. He used his slender fingers to trace Ah Rui, who seemed to be clearer again, and muttered to himself, "Ah Rui, shouldn't Lone be involved in these storms?" ”

Sensing his abnormality, Ah Rui held his hand on his cheek and said seriously and affirmatively, "Qingyan, it was not you who dragged me into the wind and rain from beginning to end. It's all of my own choosing.

Qingyan, in fact, I have always been very glad that I am the daughter of the Fanyang Lu family, and I can choose my husband instead of being forced to take a path without choice under the pressure of the family. I never feel that this road is hard, I just feel that the road without choice is the hardest to walk. ”

Xiao Min looked at the girl in his arms in a daze, as if he didn't expect her to say such an amazing thing. However, Xiao Min was soon relieved that his A Rui was not an ordinary girl, and it was common to say something unexpected.

The two spent a night of rare silence and warmth since His Majesty fell into a coma. On the second day, Xiao Min got up and went to the previous court as usual. These days, most of the emergency government affairs have been handled by Xiao Min and his ministers.

The Yuwang Party has the intention of getting in the way. However, it is a matter of course that His Majesty is sick and the crown prince is in charge of the country. They had no choice but to give up.

Coincidentally, His Majesty woke up from a coma on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15. When His Majesty woke up, it was Empress Wen who was waiting by his bedside.

When Empress Wen saw His Majesty wake up, she was first surprised and then delighted, but Her Majesty's words broke the joy on her face.

"Where's Awa?" Ah Wan is Gu Concubine's nickname, when she and His Majesty were in love in the past. Empress Wen had heard His Majesty affectionately call Concubine Gu by this nickname countless times.

Hearing this long-lost title, Queen Wen's expression became dignified and cold again. She said calmly and straightforwardly with the grace of a queen, "Your Majesty may wish to listen to the words of the head of the Imperial Hospital, so that you can know a thing or two about the effect of the elixir offered by Concubine Gu." ”

Speaking of the word efficacy, Queen Wen's tone carried obvious sarcasm. "What does the queen mean by this?" Queen Wen didn't want to say anything more, but just waved her hand to signal the others to come in and serve.

Soon, the news of His Majesty's awakening reached the ears of the Queen Mother. The Empress Dowager hurriedly came in a chariot, she looked happy and happy, "The emperor can be regarded as waking up, Gu Concubine and other things that are not on the table, she actually dares to use the elixir of Nalaoshzi to kill His Majesty's royal body, it is really not enough to let her die ten thousand times." ”

While the Empress Dowager was talking, a large number of people poured in. There are imperial doctors who come to diagnose and treat, there are crying concubines, and there are also anxious courtiers. Their mouths all shouted Your Majesty, Your Majesty.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only felt that the scene was chaotic, and he frowned and asked the crying concubines and anxious courtiers to retreat first, preparing to let the head of the Imperial Hospital first diagnose His Majesty's physical condition.

"Your Majesty, your body is slightly slower than before, but your pulse is rapid and strong, your tongue is reddish and less lichen, accompanied by palpitations and shortness of breath, and it is suspected that your heart and lungs are out of balance. Your Majesty should reconcile your heart and lungs, balance your qi and blood, and cultivate calmly for a while. ”

Hearing the imperial doctor's words of dropping the bookbag, the Empress Dowager asked anxiously, "Head of the hospital, you don't want to go around in circles with the mourning family, and directly say what is the cause of Your Majesty's illness, and how to regulate and cultivate." ”

Facing the gaze of the most powerful family in the world, the head of the Tai Hospital did not dare to fool around at will, so he could only consider his words, "This, this, this, Wei Chen speculated that His Majesty may have taken some tonic tiger and wolf medicine recently, which has hollowed out his body in a short period of time." If you want to recuperate, you must first cut off the medicine of the tiger and wolf, and then rest in bed calmly, supplemented by decoction and medicine. ”

Empress Wen did not allow the head of the Tai Hospital to be so vague, "Head of the hospital, you might as well say bluntly, what kind of tiger and wolf medicine hollowed out His Majesty's body?" ”

"It is the elixir offered by Gu Concubine Niangniang, which has a large amount of cinnabar, which can refresh people in a short time, but after a long time, it will hollow out people's bodies."

As soon as these words came out, one stone stirred up a thousand waves.

"Your Majesty, don't listen to his nonsense. Chen's sister will be sent to Yutai Hospital for verification before offering the elixir. Without the verification of the Tai Hospital, Gu Concubine Niangniang would never dare to offer it without authorization. Gu Concubine's brother Gu Daren was convincing, but he didn't swear to the sky.

Some people also laughed at Lord Gu's rebuttal, "Lord Gu's words are wrong, the first test of the Tai Hospital is the elixir that Gu Concubine Niangniang gave to His Majesty, but His Majesty has not had time to take yet." This thing is definitely from the hands of Gu Concubine Niangniang, what else does Master Gu want to quibble?

Besides, there are many palace maids in Changchun Palace who have heard that Concubine Gu resents His Majesty and once cursed His Majesty in the middle of the night. Perhaps, Concubine Gu is harboring evil intentions and wants to harm Your Majesty? ”

Both of these factions were echoed, and for a moment, the hall became noisy again.

His Majesty, who was lying weakly on the hospital bed, finally said out loud, "Enough, since there is such a suspicion, first confine Concubine Gu and King Yu to Zongzheng Temple, and no one is allowed to visit." Come on, go to the Changchun Palace to search for prohibited things, and then do it when the matter is clear. ”

When it comes to his own dragon body, it is impossible for His Majesty to blindly listen to and believe in Gu Concubine and King Yu. And as the lord of the world, how could he allow Gu Concubine to secretly resent him.

"Yes, Your Majesty." No one who served in front of the emperor would remind His Majesty at this time that Concubine Gu and His Royal Highness King Yu had already been imprisoned in Zongzheng Temple by Queen Wen, and the Empress Dowager had always acquiesced to this happening.

Unexpectedly, Lord Gu's heart was like lightning, and he knew that if His Majesty's will, which was tantamount to grounding Concubine Gu Niangniang and His Royal Highness King Yu, came out, His Royal Highness King Yu would never be able to inherit the unification under the current situation. He reacted very quickly and cried and threw himself in front of His Majesty's bed, "Your Majesty thinks twice, Your Majesty, you are the only support of Concubine Gu and His Royal Highness King Yu, how can they harm you?" ”

"Ahem", His Majesty didn't bother to listen to his explanation, and a violent cough hit. The queen mother, who always appears in a gentle and indisputable manner, is rarely strong. "That's enough, the evidence that Gu Concubine killed the dragon body is already conclusive, Lord Gu doesn't need to say anything more, don't you see that Your Majesty needs to stay in bed to recuperate right now?"

Seeing that there was no room for turnaround, Master Gu could only step forward and kowtow to thank him.

And as soon as these words came out, the rest of the palace could only retreat. Empress Wen was also about to go back to the palace first, and the Empress Dowager saw that she was once again hurt by Her Majesty, and said with relief, "Queen, you are always the queen after all, and Your Majesty always has you in his heart." He was just being confused by Gu Concubine for a while. ”

Queen Wen smiled reluctantly, and she didn't know if she believed it or not, but just said, "Thank you, Queen Mother." After that, Queen Wen helped Xiuxin and left, but as soon as she stepped on the chariot, her face changed completely.

Empress Wen on the top of the chariot did not have the slightest grievance and reluctant dignity on her face, but only cold hatred and unspeakable pleasure. "This palace has been boiling for so many years, that's it, let's play with him in the end. Let everyone know how infatuated this palace is and how crazy Gu Concubine is. ”

In the main hall, only Xiao Min was left waiting for his father's fate. "The son did not get the permission of his father, and handled state affairs without authorization, and asked his father to forgive him."

But the Son of Heaven on the sickbed did not move for half a day. Xiao Min only thought that His Majesty was still as usual this time, pressuring himself indifferently, and observing his every move with a pair of eyes that were indistinguishable from anger.

After a long time, Xiao Min finally sensed that something was wrong, and looked up at the sickbed, only to find that His Majesty had just fallen into a deep sleep. It turned out that I don't know when the male lion entrenched on the throne had turned into a sick lion. Your Majesty, he can no longer show his power to those around him to kill and kill, nor can he demonstrate to the prince who is about to succeed him.

Xiao Min only felt that all this came both absurdly and naturally, he had been fighting for power with His Majesty for decades, and finally won in this way. Xiao Min got up silently and withdrew from the main hall, summoning the officials and staff of the East Palace to discuss.

Wen Cheng was also the one who was on top of the main hall at the right time, and he said in a low voice, "Your Highness, the minister is looking at Lord Gu's strange gestures, I'm afraid that he has already passed the news to the other people who are also members of the Yu Wang Party, but I am afraid that they have bad intentions." ”

"It's okay, I'm not afraid of them making a move. However, if the Yuwang Party is calm and does not move, it will not hurt. Xiao Min's tone was full of certainty that everything was under control.

Indeed, as Wen Cheng replied, the rest of the Yu Wang Party had already sensed his intentions in Lord Gu's subtle movements. The news quickly spread to the hands of Gu Concubine and King Yu in Zongzheng Temple.

"Mother, we can't sit still, my uncle sent us a message to let us fight for the last ray of life." But Gu Concubine has never seen any wind and rain, she has relatives, and she is always worried about the consequences. "Qilang, if this matter fails, it will be the big mouth of the Jiu clan."

King Yu sneered and asked rhetorically, "Mother, you don't think that we will share in An'an, and when the crown prince ascends the throne, he will be able to leave us a way to live." This matter is also death, and retreat is also death, mother, we might as well fight a bloody way for ourselves. ”

Remembering that she had been fighting with Queen Wen's mother and son for many years, and when the crown prince ascended the throne, she would definitely have no good end, Gu Concubine gritted her teeth, "Okay, Qilang, the mother concubine will listen to you." ”

That night, a fire broke out at the Soshoji Temple in the southwest corner of the palace, and everyone's attention was focused on it. His Majesty has not yet convicted Concubine Gu Niangniang and His Royal Highness King Yu, so they are still masters. The palace guards, palace maids, and eunuchs all hurried here to put out the fire.

And Gu Concubine Niangniang and His Royal Highness King Yu have already moved to other places unconsciously with the help of the power of King Yu's party.
