Part 2 The Battle of the Two Heroes Chapter 50 The Troubled Autumn in the Palace
Things did not calm down because of Pi Lizhi's death, and not long after Zhang Qichao and the others left, a strange thing happened.
In the emperor's bedroom, Empress Qian was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. The crown prince Wei Chan, the king of Lu Wei Yong and the king of Wu Wei Li, as well as the two princesses, were waiting outside the emperor's palace.
Not for other reasons, but for the emperor to have an unusual illness. At another feast, he suddenly fell to the ground unconscious. It stands to reason that the love poison has long been unraveled by Mei Yanxin with medicine, and this will not happen.
To make matters worse, the imperial doctors were helpless and could only temporarily control the condition with medication.
"What are you talking about? Your Majesty has little hope of living. Queen Qian's face was ugly, and she scolded: "I think you don't want to die." ”
"Queen Mother, please calm your anger. The imperial doctors fell to their knees, and for a while there was no one standing in the emperor's bedroom except for Empress Qian.
Imperial Doctor Peng plucked up his courage and explained nervously: "Although Your Majesty's love poison has been resolved, Miss Mei emphasized when she left that she should not be close to ...... Get close to women, and Your Majesty doesn't listen, so ......"
There are no kings in the world, and Imperial Doctor Peng's words are very harsh. is clearly accusing the emperor of overindulgence, he really doesn't want to live.
"Someone! Put Imperial Doctor Peng in prison and wait for his fate. "Sure enough, Queen Qian ordered the Ouchi guards and took Imperial Doctor Peng away.
Queen Qian looked back at the imperial doctors who were kneeling on the ground, and said in a fierce voice: "No matter how bad you are at treating Your Majesty's illness, you will wait to be sent to the beheading table one by one." ”
"Yes, the ministers will do everything they can. The imperial doctors replied in unison. Then he got up and surrounded the emperor and pondered his illness again.
Empress Qian saw that they were useless, and came out of the emperor's bedroom impatiently. As soon as they left the palace, the prince and the princess gathered around.
"Queen Mother, how is my father's condition?" the prince was very concerned about this.
Empress Qian didn't want to expose the emperor's illness so quickly, so she covered up: "The condition has stabilized, but Your Majesty can't wake up for a while." ”
"That's good, my father is the Son of Heaven, and he has a hundred gods to take care of him, so we can rest assured. Wei Chan couldn't hide the disappointment in his heart.
Queen Qian saw it, but did not say it, but admonished: "During this time, there is Prince Lao in charge of the country." State affairs are heavy, and the crown prince must also pay attention to his body. ”
"Erchen respectfully obeys the teachings of the queen mother, and there is nothing else to ask Erchen to retire temporarily. Wei Chan saw that it was useless to wait, so it was better to do more. Then he left the emperor's bedroom and went straight to the imperial study to deal with government affairs.
As soon as the crown prince left, the other princes also felt that there was no need to stay, and they retired one after another. Only Wei Rouyun stayed.
"In my opinion, this matter still can't be delayed any longer. Wei Rouyun's heart was as careful as a hair, and she could see that the queen mother's expression was different, "It's better to Zhang Bang in the capital and find a good doctor to treat my father." ”
"But to do so would be tantamount to telling the world about His Majesty's illness. Queen Qian expressed her scruples, "I'm afraid that after the princes know the truth, they will have different thoughts." ”
There were no outsiders around, Wei Rouyun said directly: "I have been thinking about it since I was born, and I can't hide such a big thing for long." Sooner or later, the princes will know, and instead of letting them come to the door to question, it is better to deal with it immediately. ”
Queen Qian felt that what her daughter said made sense, "Okay, I'll go and draft the list text." ”
After the crown prince finished his state affairs, he returned to the East Palace. The prince's teacher, Zhan Shifu Zhan Shi Ma Chong, had been waiting in the study for a long time.
When he saw the prince, he was surprised, "Why did the prince come back?"
Wei Chan replied: "My father's condition has improved greatly, so the palace will come back after handling government affairs." With that, he went to the chair behind the bookcase and sat down.
Ma Chong hurriedly said: "Prince, you can't leave the palace at this time. His Majesty's condition is changing rapidly, in case something goes wrong. The prince is not around, how to make it. ”
"I'm a prince, and I'm afraid of being gossiped about when I stay in the forbidden courtyard of the palace. Wei Chan was very scruptuous, "When my father wakes up and knows that I am staying there, he has to scold me." ”
Ma Chong's expression was serious, and he said solemnly: "My father is sick, and it is reasonable to serve the decoction as a son. The emperor was sick, and he waited by his side as a courtier, which was justified. Isn't the prince afraid that someone will take advantage of the situation?"
Ma Chong reminded Wei Chan of his words, hurriedly got up to change his clothes, and hurried to the emperor's dormitory, waiting at the door.
Queen Qian saw Wei Chan guarding in front of the palace from a distance, and asked her daughter curiously, "Why is the prince back again?"
"Eighty percent listened to other people's words and came to guard. Wei Rouyun said very firmly, "This must be Ma Chong's idea." ”
Queen Qian shook her head helplessly, "No matter, it's okay for the prince to keep it." I only hope that the method of posting the list will be effective, and Your Majesty will get better. ”
Darkness is descending on the palace, and Feng Huaien, the commander of the school guard, is leading people to inspect the palace. When he came to the Treasure Pavilion, a black shadow suddenly flashed in front of him, and Feng Huaien hurriedly chased after him.
The black shadow seemed to be very familiar with the palace, and shuttling through it was like going home, and even Feng Huaien almost let the black shadow escape several times. In the end, he let the black shadow take advantage of the night and escape with a wonderful light skill.
Feng Huaien sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly went back to the Treasure Pavilion to investigate. It was a place of royal treasure and had always been heavily guarded. After Feng Huaien finished inspecting the treasure, he found that there was a missing night pearl that Mu Xiong had sacrificed during the Yungui Festival.
Feng Huaien felt that the matter was very important, and immediately reported the matter to Empress Qian.
"What do you say, the Emperor's favorite Night Pearl has been stolen. Queen Qian sat down on the chair, and it was really a wave of unsettled.
Feng Huaien replied with a look of shame: "The treasure thief is very familiar with the palace, and his light skills are very high, so he took advantage of the night to escape from the old slave's eyes. ”
"I can't blame you for this, the thieves are ready to come. "Empress Qian understands things very well, "I saw that it was an eventful time now, and everyone was focusing on His Majesty." ”
"Queen Mother, please rest assured, the old slave will fight to regain the Night Pearl. "Feng Huaien wanted to go out of the palace to find the whereabouts of the Night Pearl.
Queen Qian disagreed, "The Night Pearl is just a dead thing, and it can be found in the future if it is lost." Now that it is an eventful season, His Majesty is sick in bed, and the prince waits all night and refuses to return to the palace. Their safety is the most important thing. You're gone, who will protect. ”
Feng Huaien said respectfully: "Yes, the old slave understands. ”
In the same dark night, the bustling night market in Jianye City continued. A young man, dressed in a light blue robe embroidered with bamboo leaves, holding a folding fan, walked among them.
When I came to a noodle shop called Hui Kee, I stopped.
"The guest officer is here to eat noodles?" the shopkeeper came out to greet the man.
The young man replied, "Bring me a bowl of Yangchun noodles and a plate of peanuts." ”
"Okay, please take a seat first, and I'll send it later. "The shopkeeper went into the back kitchen to order.
Instead of sitting inside the noodle shop, the young man found a seat outside in the open air. I don't look at the people in the tavern, I look at the pedestrians outside.
The reason why I didn't look at it was because it was full of weirdos. They all held weapons in their hands, their faces were solemn, and the most important thing was that they didn't eat the noodles in front of them, and let the noodles become cold.
"Yangchun noodles are here, please use them slowly. The shopkeeper took a bowl of noodles and a plate of peanuts and placed them on the table in front of the young man.
Speaking of which, the shopkeeper is also very strange, the other guys are all young guys, and this one is middle-aged.
The young man picked up the chopsticks and ate seriously, and the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper looked at them seriously.
The shopkeeper whispered in the shopkeeper's ear: "Seeing him like this, he really came to eat noodles." ”
"Don't underestimate this person, his martial arts are very high. The shopkeeper is pretending to settle accounts, "The steps are light, full of vitality, the master of the masters, let them not act rashly." ”
The shopkeeper asked, "Is the plan still going on?"
The shopkeeper instructed, "Don't worry until she's gone." He was very jealous of the young man, and planned to wait until he was gone.
At this time, another beautiful woman with coiled hair came, and there was a maid by her side.
"Xianggong didn't go home to eat, why did he eat Yangchun noodles here. The woman said to the young man. As he spoke, he sat down across from the man.
The man replied, "Because the noodles here are very special, should you try them too?" ”
"Okay, I'll try it too. The woman agreed. The maid next to her came to the noodle restaurant, and she didn't look at the person next to her, and directly asked Xiao Er to make a bowl of noodles.
The shopkeeper looked at the couple and thought, their origin must be not small, it is clearly for us, should I turn my face?
