? The afterglow of the evening reflected Fang Congzhe's face, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the red pill, Fang Congzhe looked at the red pill, and the red pill seemed to be glowing with a faint red light that made him tremble.

"Lord Fang, Lord Fang, Ouch, my Lord Fang, why are you still here. The emperor is in a hurry. ”

Fang Congzhe, who was pondering, was interrupted by this voice, and when he raised his head, it turned out to be the close eunuch beside the emperor.

The eunuch ran to Fang Congzhe's side and said anxiously: "I said Lord Fang, what are you still doing here, the emperor is in a hurry, you better hurry up and go to Lord Li to get the elixir." ”

"Hmm!" Fang Congcao replied, and suddenly reacted, the red pill was already in his hand.

He added, "The red pill has already been sent by Lord Li just now. ”

Only then did the eunuch notice that he had a red pill in his hand, and said anxiously, "Then what are you waiting for?"

As he spoke, the eunuch dragged Fang Congzhela towards the Qianqing Palace.

Fang Congzhe had just arrived at the Qianqing Palace, and before he could react, the eunuch offered the red pill in his hand to the Mingguang Sect.

Mingguangzong got the red pill, his eyes lit up, and after taking the red pill like a wolf, the fluttering feeling returned. He waved his hand and said, "I'm tired, go down first!"

Fang Congzhe watched Mingguangzong lie down and fall asleep, the eunuchs and palace maids all retreated, he slowly retreated, guarding the courtyard of the Qianqing Palace, he always had a feeling of uneasiness in his heart. It was a long time before he turned to leave.

I don't know when, the moon has already hidden in the dark thick clouds, and there is not a single star in the endless sky.

In autumn, the night is exceptionally cold. A gust of wind suddenly blew open the window of Fang Congzhe's room, and another gust of wind blew, blowing out the oil lamp on the table in the room, and blowing directly to Fang Congzhe's bedside, waking him up.

Fang Congzhe sat up, his eyelids kept jumping, he got out of bed and wanted to close the window, but suddenly he felt something was wrong nAd1 (picked up the clothes next to the bed and put them on, he didn't seem to have slept much this night, and he always remembered the safety of Mingguang Sect in his heart.

He didn't dare to go home, so he lived in the side hall of the Qianqing Palace.

He had just opened the door and was about to prepare for the Mingguang Sect, when he heard a miserable voice shouting: "Something happened to the emperor!

Fang Congzhe didn't say a word, his coat was not passed on, and he hurriedly ran towards the Qianqing Palace.

Fang Congzhe had just stepped into the Qianqing Palace, only to see Mingguangzong lying on the bed with his eyes open and his expression sluggish.

The eunuchs and palace ladies stood by the bed, bowing their heads and weeping quietly.

Fang Congzhe suddenly felt that his hands and feet seemed to be unable to move. He walked step by step, and although the distance was less than ten meters, it seemed to be tens of thousands of miles apart.

He walked to the side of Mingguangzong's bed, his hand kept trembling, stretched out under Mingguangzong's nose, and tried it, "Ah!" He immediately retracted his hand, his body subconsciously retreated, he didn't stand firmly, sat on the ground, and said tremblingly: "Quick, call the imperial doctor!"

Before the words fell, the chief physician of the Mingguang Sect hurriedly rushed from outside.

Mingguang Sect's body was so weak that the imperial doctors didn't dare to go far.

In the afternoon of the same day, when everyone saw Mingguangzong walking in the courtyard of the Qianqing Palace, the imperial doctors had a premonition that this was a return to the light. However, even if everyone sees such a thing, it is just tacit.

Fang Congzhe saw the imperial doctor running in and running to Mingguangzong's bedside, the fire of hope in his heart seemed to have been ignited, and he looked forward to seeing the imperial doctor.

The imperial medicine took a breath under Mingguangzong's nose, looked at the whites of his eyes carefully, gently crossed his eyelids with his hand, and said sadly: "Your Majesty! The emperor has died!"

When Fang Congzhe heard the news, he sat down completely on the ground, and the flame of hope in his heart was completely extinguished nAd2 (

He hesitated for a few seconds, then immediately reacted again, and said, "Quick! Quickly inform the six departments and nine kings, the emperor, the emperor has died." ”

Fang Congzhe's words were just to hide the fear in his heart, and while everyone was panicking, he hurriedly walked out.

Although the two medicines were sent by Wei Zhongxian, Li Kezhuo also said that after taking this medicine, it would take three days before taking the second pill, and Wei Zhongxian was in such a hurry to send the medicine.

The medicine was already in his hands, and it was impossible for him not to know this

Before, the emperor was in a hurry to take out the medicine, but he refused to take out the medicine, saying that he would wait for the granddaughter of the old lady Yang to cure the emperor's illness, and then he would take out the medicine for the emperor.

After the emperor took it, he knew that the emperor couldn't take the second pill, but he sent the medicine early. Could it be that he had premeditated this matter?

The more Fang Congzhe thought about it, the more wrong it became, no, I had to hurry up and ask him for clarification.

As soon as he took a few steps, he stopped and thought: No! If he deliberately asked me to offer medicine to the emperor and wanted to frame me, wouldn't I go to him again and not return?

Fang Congzhe thought about it, and suddenly found something wrong, and he thought in his heart: Even if he didn't deliberately frame me. Li Kezhuo was recommended by me, and the last red pill was also handed to the emperor by me.

No matter what, I can't escape my responsibility. As soon as the news of the emperor's death spreads, countless impeachment scripts will fly in tomorrow morning, and if you don't get it, you may be labeled as a "murderer".

Fang Congzhe thought about it and sighed again, I'd better hurry up and think about how to deal with it. He thought about it, and his mind turned back to it. No, I still have to trouble Wei Zhongxian, after all, he gave me this medicine.

He thought about it, and ran towards the Wei MansionnAd3(

Wei Zhongxian was not in the Wei Mansion at this time, he was hanging out with the Hakka clan in the place where they often had trysts.

The candlelight flickered, and Wei Zhongxian was lying on the bed with Hakka in his arms.

Ke Shi lay on Wei Zhongxian's chest and asked delicately, "Why are you so happy tonight?"

"Is there one?" said Wei Zhongxian, putting his hand on Hak's back.

Ke pointed his finger at his face and said charmingly, "It's all written on his face." ”

"Haha!" Wei Zhongxian smiled proudly, and picked up Hakka's chin with a smile, "Then let Ye be cool again!"

"Huh?" Hakka shouted in a long voice.

Wei Zhongxian said and pressed the Hakka down again.

As soon as he pressed her under him, he heard a shout: "The emperor is dead! The emperor is dead!"

Wei Zhongxian jumped up from the bed happily, smirked proudly, and hurriedly grabbed the clothes beside the bed.

Before the Ke clan could react, she looked at Wei Zhongxian in a daze, and asked with some confusion, "What are they shouting?"

"The emperor is dead! The emperor is dead!" Wei Zhongxian said excitedly.

"Hurry, you get up quickly, go to Li Xuanshi, and ask her to take the prince to the funeral quickly. He said that he hurriedly got dressed and walked in the direction of Qianqing Palace.

He was still worried, Fang Congzhe didn't know if he would give this medicine to the emperor. If he didn't present this medicine to the emperor, then his plan would have to be postponed for a few days.

However, then again, even if Fang Cong gave Mingguangzong a few days late, Mingguangzong still couldn't escape from his palm.

And he deduced that even if Fang Congzhe didn't give it to Mingguang Sect, Mingguang Sect would clamo Fang Congzhe to get the medicine back.

The more he thought about it, the more smug he became, and he couldn't help but laugh a few more times. Everything is under his control. It was as if he had seen that his dream was about to come true.

The palace is said to be big and big, and small is also small.

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly walked towards the palace, and Fang Congzhe also hurriedly walked outside the palace.

"Ouch! It's that bastard, he doesn't have eyes. Wei Zhongxian suddenly bumped into someone.

"It's that unruly minion who walks in a panic. Fang Congzhe also stroked his chest, he was hurt by Wei Zhongxian just now.

Both of them suddenly felt that the voice was very familiar, it was only five watches at this time, the sky was not yet light, and the light was very dim.

Fang Congzhe's eyes widened, exploring the other party's appearance in the dark night.

Wei Zhongxian also opened his eyes, trying to see who it was.

"I was looking for you!" Fang Congzhe saw clearly that it was Wei Zhongxian, and hurriedly grabbed his collar.

Wei Zhongxian also recognized that it was Fang Congzhe, he held Fang Congzhe's hand and grabbed his collar and said, "Lord Fang, don't get excited, don't get excited." ”

"You guy, do you know if the emperor has died. When Fang Congzhe saw Wei Zhongxian, the anger in his heart suddenly burned.

Wei Zhongxian's eyes rolled and pleaded: "Lord Fang, this is not the place to speak, borrow a step to speak, borrow a step to speak." ”

Wei Zhongxian pulled Fang Congzhe aside. Before he could speak, he heard Fang Congzhe scold: "You give me the medicine, and after I give it to the emperor, the emperor actually died suddenly tonight." What kind of heart do you have?"

Wei Zhongxian tidied up his collar, sneered and said, "Lord Fang, think about it clearly, this medicine was given to the emperor by you, not by me." It has nothing to do with me!"

When Fang Congzhe heard this, he "chuckled" in his heart, and his eyes squinted at Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Zhongxian looked at Fang Congzhe with a smile and said, "Anyway, the emperor has died now, even if you have great ability, you can't go back to the sky, let's think about how to protect yourself first." ”

"This medicine is clearly what you gave. "Fang Congzhe is not Wei Zhongxian's opponent no matter how he is playing tricks.

"Lord Fang, this is a mistake, the first time was sent by Master Li who you introduced, and the second time was sent by you personally, what does it have to do with me?" Wei Zhongxian smiled and said proudly.

"You're crossing the river and tearing down the bridge. Fang Congzhe said very angrily.

"Haha! I haven't crossed the river, how can I tear down the bridge?" Wei Zhongxian scoffed.

As he spoke, he shook Fang Congzhe's hand and said, "Lord Fang, if I am not wrong, there will be a lot of twists and turns to impeach you early tomorrow morning, you still have to think about what to do!"

Wei Zhongxian said and looked closer to Fang Congzhe and said, "Master Fang, you have to learn to use your position. Hurry back and draft the emperor's edict. As for that medicine, I didn't give it, and I didn't give it, but the emperor himself wanted to take it!"

Wei Zhongxian said, turning to leave. A voice came from the dark night: "Lord Fang, go back early!"

Fang Congzhe knew very well that according to the practice of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor died, and the edict needed to be drafted by the head of the cabinet. That's what Wei Zhongxian's words meant.

After thinking about it, he felt that only by taking the opportunity of the proposed edict to state that taking the red pill was the emperor's own opinion, and that it was the best policy to put the responsibility on the Qing emperor.

Fang Congzhe looked at Wei Zhongxian, who had disappeared in front, and moved his feet unnaturally, walking dazedly and slowly.

At this time, the coffin of Emperor Wanli had not yet been buried, and Zhu Changluo of Mingguangzong had only been emperor for one month.
