Chapter 244

The dumb maid looked back at her as if she could not believe it, but she didn't know how to do it. Jiang Ruan Rou asked, "are you going to ask for a doctor?"

Dumb maidservant nodded.

"The doctor doesn't have to." Jiang Ruan sneered: "I can't trust the doctors here. Go out and be careful when cooking in the future." Naturally, we can't let the doctor come here, otherwise we will have a happy pulse and things will get out of hand. The dumb maidservant didn't look very brave, and I don't know if he was pretending. Jiang Ruan had to cheat this man first.

The dumb maid opened her mouth and seemed to be at a loss. Jiang Ruan frowned and said, "don't go out yet!" The dumb maid quickly backed out. After the dumb maid left, Jiang Ruan just rubbed his forehead and heart. This is not the way to go on. But now she didn't know what was going on outside. These days she stayed in the house, although she couldn't go out, but when she stood in front of the window or walked in the yard every day, she still saw some clues.

It's a quiet place with few people. The food is usually very light. If it wasn't for Jiang Ruan's asking the dumb maid to cook some big fish and meat for the dog every day, I'm afraid there would be no meat in the food. It was no accident that Jiang Ruan could even hear the faint bell at dusk. She probably guessed that this place might be a temple, maybe in the mountains, or maybe in the wilderness. There are few people and there is not much incense. It's really bold to hide yourself here, but on second thought, no wonder others can't find it.

Jiang Ruan did not know how far it was from the capital, but it was impossible to escape now. It's wishful thinking to rush under heavy checks. What's more, it's not a good way to leave before things are finished. When will Xuanli take action? Only when Xuanli takes that step can the rest go smoothly. Jiang Ruan reached out to pick up a small file on one side and gently scratched the head of the bed, where many paths had been scratched. It was the day she came here. Now it's been several decades. I think Xuanli should start to do it.

……

This night, the fine weather in the past few days suddenly turned to the sky. In the evening, there was a strong wind, and the dark clouds came down. But in a moment, the big raindrops came down from the sky. Pedestrians in a hurry to shelter from the rain, as if even days of spring are suddenly back. At night, it was even more miserable and cold.

The main hall of the palace is lonely and tight, and the burning sandalwood slowly brings out the smoke. People in the palace seem to be used to such a dull atmosphere, and they sit quietly. In the emperor's bedroom, on the huge dragon creation, the man lay on the bed. No matter how beautiful the clothes were, they could not hide the color of death on the decoration.

One hand timely picked up one side of the handkerchief, carefully wipe the sweat on the emperor's forehead. The hands were thin and white, and the nails were painted with bright Cardan. It was wonderful and young. It reminds people of the delicate spring flowers, which are almost dripping water. What is different from it is that the emperor's face, which is already gray, seems to be only skin and flesh pasted on the skeleton, is very old and haggard. Beauty and ugliness, youth and aging are in sharp contrast at this moment. It seems that there is a kind of unspeakable beauty.

The woman's face is like peach blossom. She pinches the handkerchief back to her hand with her little finger up. She observes the person on the bed with great interest. She looks serious, as if she is looking at something interesting. After a while, the woman just tilted her head and "puffed" with a smile and said slowly: "Your Majesty, it's really embarrassing."

It's Dong Ying'er. The palace guards have retreated to one side, leaving only little Chen Zi. No, it should be Mr. Chen now. Hearing Dong Yinger's words, Mr. Chen didn't show any special expression. He just stood quietly in the room, as if he were a nonexistent person.

Dong Ying'er holds her cheek in one hand and carefully looks at the emperor on the Dragon bed. This man is the master of the world. A word can dominate people's life and death. At the beginning, because of this man, she had seen this man's imposing and irresistible appearance when she entered the palace. But what about the real dragon? Up to now, it's not like a dead dog lying in bed, unable to move and being slaughtered. Even she can easily kill the master of the world.

"One day, my husband and wife have a hundred days of kindness. Now I want to come. I'm really reluctant to do it." Dong Ying'er said with a smile.

"Empress, hurry up," said father-in-law Chen with no expression. "I'm waiting to go back and explain to my master."

Hearing the words, Dong Ying'er just flashed a trace of disgust in her eyes. She suddenly laughed again and said, "Mr. Chen is anxious. Don't worry. You won't come here in vain." After she finished, she took out a small bottle from her sleeve, pulled out the cork, put it under the emperor's nose and swept it gently -

the emperor's body moved and slowly opened his eyes after a long time.

"Your Majesty is awake?" Dong Ying'er asked softly.

The emperor was stunned for a moment. His expression suddenly became a little ferocious. He looked at Dong Ying'er and said, "do you harm me?" Although he tried his best to express his anger, there was something in his throat. He could only make a hoarse voice. If he didn't listen carefully, he couldn't hear what he was saying.

With a smile, Dong Ying'er leaned over to the emperor and seemed to be listening carefully to the emperor's words. Hearing the words, she said, "Your Majesty has wronged me. It's not my concubine who wants to harm you. It's your good son."She deliberately did not say which son it was, then saw a trace of anger floating on the emperor's face, but the anger for a dying patient would only appear more weak and powerless. Seeing this, Dong Ying'er seemed more happy, and even said, "if your majesty doesn't guess, which son is it?"

The emperor was waiting for her. He made a whoosh sound in his throat. He was broken and could not make a sentence. He just called out reluctantly: "come on...". Come on

"What else will your majesty call?" Dong Ying'er said with a smile: "Your Majesty has been in bed for such a long time. I'm afraid I don't know what's going on now. Your majesty is always taken care of by my concubines. No one can fake his hand. My concubine takes good care of your majesty every day, but your majesty has to call someone else. I really want my concubine to be very sad. "

"Witch. The witch The emperor can only utter simple words.

"I'm a witch? That's right, but your majesty looks worse than me. " Dong Ying'er put her hands on the emperor's cheek: "Your Majesty's eyes seem to be thinking about who is going to help, who is it? Is it Mr. Li? I'm afraid your majesty doesn't know. A few days after your majesty fell ill, Mr. Li worried too much and killed himself. Tut Tut, he threw himself into the dry well. When he was fished out, he was out of shape. "

Dong Yinger's voice was light, and the emperor's eyes suddenly widened. Looking at her shaking, she said: "it's you..."

"It's not me," Dong Ying'er complained. "How can I have such great ability? Naturally, only your Majesty's good son can have such great ability in this world. Does your majesty know which son it is? "

The emperor did not speak, but glared at Dong Yinger. His eyes were too terrible. If he were not sick in bed and weak at the moment, he would almost swallow Dong Yinger alive. It's like a dying goldfish whose eyes almost fall out of its orbit.

"Your Majesty doesn't want to hear it, so I won't say it. I hate understanding." Dong Ying'er giggled, and then said to Mr. Chen on this side, "go and take the medicine. Your majesty, this last bowl of medicine, I have to serve him personally."

When the emperor heard the speech, the muscles on his face beat quickly, and then he said hoarsely, "dry...". What... "

"Naturally, it's time to feed your Majesty the medicine," Dong Ying'er pretended to be surprised. "My concubine is thinking about the little love between husband and wife with your majesty. That's why I want to make your majesty sober for a while. When I drink the medicine later, your majesty will be free. Master huijue said well that there are many sufferings, love and hate disputes in the world. Only by breaking away from the world can we achieve a great realm. My concubines all want to think for your majesty. Does your majesty want to reward your concubines for something

What she said was very interesting, as if she was coying with her lover. But the words are not to hide the murder, regicide. The emperor tried hard to struggle to sit up and roared, "be presumptuous. Somebody... " But his voice is low and can't get out at all, and his body can't move. There's no other way. It's just that I'm a butcher and I'm a fish. I have to be slaughtered.

"Don't cry, your majesty. Be careful. It's not pretty. The Empress Dowager has already rested. It's getting late now. Your Majesty's side has always been taken care of by her concubines. Today, since our fate is almost over, I will make it clear, so as not to let your majesty worry about it. " She looked into the emperor's eyes and said, "Your Highness has already obtained your Majesty's edict. Naturally, it has been destroyed, so I'm afraid your Majesty's mind can't be completed. But his highness also asked his majesty to rest assured that he would sit in that position and govern the great Jin Dynasty well. Your majesty is at ease. "

When the emperor heard the word "imperial edict" in Dong Yinger's words, his face was suddenly surprised, and then he said angrily: "son of a bitch. The devil... "

"That's what it's like to be in the royal family, and your majesty doesn't have to worry." Dong Ying'er seemed to have a light and relaxed tone: "then your majesty, you don't have to say anything else. It's better for your majesty to have a rest earlier." With that, he nodded to the other side, and Mr. Chen met the medicine bowl at the right time.

Dong Ying'er took the medicine bowl from Mr. Chen's hand, carefully scooped it with a spoon, put it to his mouth to cool it, and then fed it to the emperor's mouth. Where the emperor would drink it, he only looked at the medicine bowl, and his eyes were full of anger and despair. People's survival * has always been very strong. The emperor tried his best to turn his head, and the soup in the spoon spilled a pillow. Dong Ying'er sighed softly, as if she had a headache and sighed: "Your Majesty is like a child. How can you take a medicine so noisy?" Say to play then smile to see to Chen Gonggong: "still invite Gonggong to help."

The emperor had seen this strange manager for a long time. Mr. Li had been with him for many years, and there was friendship between his master and servant. Now that this strange man can take the place of Mr. Li, he had a part in his work. So at the moment, inside and outside of this bedroom, all of them are changed people, all of them are not their own people! He looks at Dong Ying'er. This woman is used to be docile. He doesn't know this woman's careful thinking, but he doesn't expect that she is so bold that she can even kill a monarch. It's stupid. Does she think she can get away from it after killing herself?Mr. Chen "covered" and went to the emperor. He was very strong, but the emperor was weak at the moment. He almost put the emperor up without any effort. The emperor couldn't move. Dong Yinger, smiling, once again fed the soup to the emperor.

Unable to move, his whole body was covered with chopsticks. The emperor tasted it for the first time. He closed his eyes. He knew more about his body than anyone else. Without this bowl of medicine, he couldn't support it for long. This bowl of medicine just made that day come earlier, and he couldn't avoid it. Fortunately Fortunately, things haven't come to the worst yet. The road he paved earlier has finally come to use now, that is, death, at least not in vain.

Dong Ying'er looked at the emperor and closed her eyes. She didn't seem to be bothered. Her voice was beautiful: "Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about loneliness after drinking this medicine. My concubine knows that your majesty loves Mu Zhaoyi most, so she will send Mu Zhaoyi to accompany your majesty soon."

The emperor suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Dong Yinger. He didn't say anything, but his eyes were like the last anger and gloom of a dying man. Dong Yinger was also guilty, but she was brave and suddenly laughed: "Mu Zhaoyi will be very happy, too." With these words, she fed the medicine to the emperor's mouth faster, that is, the emperor's mouth began to flow out of the medicine juice, and her action became more fierce, with a hint of revenge.

Soup spoonful of a spoonful of fed to the emperor's mouth, is a deadly soup, life is also in the passage of a trace. In fact, at the end of the feeding, the Emperor didn't know when he had lost his breath, but Dong Ying'er was still serious, little by little, feeding the last spoonful to the emperor's mouth. Then he took out his handkerchief, carefully wiped the corners of the emperor's mouth, and took him to his original position to lie down and cover him with a quilt. It's like a most virtuous wife serving her husband.

After doing all this, Dong Yinger just said to Chen Gong, "go back to your master."

Mr. Chen nodded, turned and walked out of the bedroom. Dong Ying'er is sitting by the bed alone. The person on the bed is already a corpse, and has no vitality in normal life any more. The Lord of the world who calls the wind and calls the rain, under one person and above ten thousand people, is just a withered corpse, and no longer has any deterrent power. But the expression on Dong Yinger's face is not as calm as before, and her hand is still shaking slightly.

But just for a moment, the confusion in those eyes has disappeared, replaced by a deep ruthlessness. She looked at the person on the bed and said in a low voice, "what about the Lord of the world? It's just the same sad name. In that case, let's go to hell together." She sat by the bed like a statue for a long time, until the oil lamp was about to burn out, and there was a little eunuch's voice outside. Dong Ying'er then slowly raised her eyes, looking at the hourglass that was placed on the high shelf, and there was a strange smile on her face.

The next moment, her face changed, and a flustered voice came out of her mouth: "no! His majesty has an accident - "

the emperor's condition suddenly worsened, and the imperial doctors of the imperial hospital could not recover this situation. When the imperial doctors arrived, the people on the bed had lost all their life.

In fact, this is what every doctor has expected. At the beginning, Xia Qing, the master of Jinling, made a diagnosis and treatment in person. After that, he said that the stone had no effect. Since it's a medicine stone with no effect, but it's also a life hanging in vain. There will always be a day when the oil will run out and the lamp will dry up. I just don't want this day to come so fast. All the doctors gathered in one place, there was a kind of crisis.

At night, the emperor's bedroom was brightly lit. At dawn in the East, the first ray of sunlight broke through many palace walls and shone into the gloomy and dark palace. The eunuch with group pattern dragged a long voice and said in a sharp voice: "Your Majesty - death --"

the sound of mourning shook the sky and raised the court to mourn.

Hearing the news, the eighth prince, standing in front of the emperor's bed with a sad face, could not help but shed tears. His appearance seems to be very sad, and this sad also bear a bit, can't lose his manners, in other people's eyes, it is indeed a filial son's appearance. Mr. Chen stood behind him with his head hooked, looking sad.

Xuanli looked at the emperor's face, but what he remembered was what Duke Chen said to him. The emperor's tentative words about Dong Ying'er before his death are no different from what several people expected. It seems that the emperor really set up another imperial edict, which is now in his own hands, naturally there is no worry. In the future, only after the storm has passed, can we find Qiman and tear up the imperial edict completely. In this world, he is the only one with the right name.

Xuanli thinks like this, but he feels that his eyes are falling on him for a while. He follows his eyes and finds that xuanpei is looking at him coldly. Xuan Pei's face didn't look sad. Instead, he was very calm. And he looked at Xuanli with a kind of clarity, as if he had already known how all this happened.

Xuanli himself didn't know that xuanpei was just a teenager. How could he have such a terrible look in his eyes? It was as if he could see people's heart at that glance. All his thoughts could not be concealed from these eyes. He was stunned for a moment. Then he did not open his eyes. He pulled his lips slightly. No matter how terrible it was, in the end, he had fallen behind in this game, and his life would be over here. Now that the emperor has died, it's his turn.Among the miserable people in the room, in addition to Xuan Pei, there is another one who is also very indifferent. This person is mu Xirou. Her pretty face was as cold as ice, and she didn't have any special look for it. However, mu Xirou had always been so cold, and people didn't find it strange to see her. Just standing with mu Xirou, Dong Yinger looks very pitiful.

Dong Ying'er's eyes were red, her hair was a little messy, and her face was haggard, as if she didn't care what she looked like now. Everyone in the palace knows that Dong Yinger is a man of great friendship. After the emperor fell ill, she was always taken care of by Dong Yinger. She never felt bored and did better than anyone else. Now that the emperor is dead, she looks very sad. Compared with mu Xirou, who has no expression on one side, she is also full of sigh in her heart.

The Empress Dowager Yide sits in the same place with a heavy face. People around her come and go, but she never loosens a bit. She always knew better than anyone why she had come to this stage. But occasionally, my eyes will still scratch a trace of sadness.

At the moment, Xia Qing, who was the last one to check the body of the emperor, came out with a medicine box on his back. He looked dignified. Although there were many important ministers in the court at the moment, he was always straight and straight, so he didn't think of any taboos. Instead, he said straightforwardly: "tell the empress dowager, your majesty is not running out of oil and the lamp is dry, there is something strange inside."

On hearing this, empress Yide immediately said, "Xia Qing, do you know what you said in front of the mourning family?"

"The grass people dare not deceive the Empress Dowager. When they examine your Majesty's body, they find that your majesty is poisoned. This poison is not rare. It's just mixed with your Majesty's illness and it's not easy to be found. If you look at it carefully, you can see the clue. "

All the doctors looked at each other. They didn't check the emperor's body. How could everyone touch the dead dragon. What's more, before Xia Qing, everyone knows that the emperor's body is not good. The imperial doctors are always conservative. It's most important to be wise and protect themselves. How can they think of this. The Empress Dowager Yide moved slightly, then touched the ruby armor on her finger and said harshly, "check!"

Several doctors immediately followed their orders, and in a short time, the remaining doctors came out of the bedroom. Their faces were also very ugly, and some sweat even came out of their forehead. Looking at empress Yide, she trembled and said: "tell the Empress Dowager back, doctor Xia is right. Your majesty is really poisoned. And the toxicity is still new. It should be that it has just been swallowed, but the toxicity is too strong, so... "

Everyone was shocked by this remark! Eyes involuntarily fell on Dong Ying'er, who was responsible for looking after the emperor's daily life. When something went wrong, Dong Ying'er was naturally the first to attract people's eyes. Dong Ying'er was also startled and said, "No. It's not me. The medicine I give your majesty is fried in the medicine room. " It's really impossible for her to look panic stricken, but there are always many people who are used to acting in the palace. Who knows if it's true?

"Grandmother, look..." Xuanli stepped forward with a look of sadness and a trace of just right anger on his face: "my father has been poisoned. This man has committed a terrible crime. We must find him out and never tolerate him!"

The Empress Dowager Yide did not speak, but her eyes stopped slightly on xuanpei. Xuanpei's expression was very calm. The Empress Dowager Yide slowly took back her hand that stroked the armor and said faintly: "check, check the whole palace thoroughly!"

……

At the dawn of the eastern sky, Xiao Shao stood in front of the window with a negative hand. He didn't know what he was thinking. Housekeeper Lin quietly put on a robe for him and said in a low voice, "master, it's time for you to enter the palace."

The news of the emperor's death almost immediately spread to King Jinying's residence, but Xiao Shao didn't immediately get up and go to the palace. How many officials all over the capital are naturally in their own homes. Because of this sudden news, they begin to worry about what may happen in the future. There is no carriage at the door of Jinying palace, and there are no guests in the house. Jinying palace is very quiet, and their master has been working in the study all night.

Even though housekeeper Lin has taken care of Xiao Shao for so many years, sometimes he can't see through what Xiao Shao is thinking. For example, is there a trace of sadness in Xiao Shao's heart at the moment? He doesn't know. There are some, after all, relatives who are related by blood. That man has been trying to compensate Xiao Shao for so many years. Even if Xiao Shao does something extraordinary, he just turns a blind eye.

Xiao Shao didn't know what was in housekeeper Lin's mind. At the moment when the emperor died, there was no big wave in his heart. All this had been expected for a long time. The emperor was just a stranger to him. Xiao Shao has never met the former Prince Hongxi and Xiang Xiaoyuan, but for the old jinyingwang couple, Xiao Shao was brought up by them and naturally has family ties. All this was destroyed by the emperor. To say that, we should hate him.

But Xiao Shao didn't even have the feeling of "hate". For Southern Xinjiang, he wanted to kill them all. Because that's what he can do. In his life, he seems to have no purpose, and he doesn't know the meaning of walking alone. Perhaps accepting the royal guards, avenging Prince Hongxi and Xiaoyuan are the meaning of his life. So he did, regardless of his life and death, indifferent to his life, lonely life, until he met Jiang Ruan.That may be another meaning of his life. That woman is fresh and different from others. I don't know when she caught his eyes. And finally it was confirmed that they had seen it in their previous lives, and the fate of heaven was always there. Maybe it's a pity that they missed it in their previous life, so they gave Jiang Ruan a chance to come back. He didn't want to let Jiang Ruan make the same mistake, so he wanted to protect this woman with his whole life.

Now, what Jiang Ruan has done is only based on what he expected to happen today. Xiao Shao was very calm in his heart, his eyes didn't even fluctuate, and there was no temperature on his face.

"Xuanli is going to do it." Xiao Shao said suddenly. The mindless words startled housekeeper Lin, and he looked at his master in a puzzled way. Xiao Shao is cold, but what does it mean to say something that has nothing to do with the death of the emperor.

"Soon." Soon, we can get Jiang Ruan. Xiao Shao didn't go on any more. He walked out of the door slowly, wearing the clothes that housekeeper Lin sent. Steward tuliulin stood alone.

Although there is no sunlight in the morning, it also reflects steward Lin's face clearly. If you look more carefully, you can find that the marks on the ravine face are much lighter now, and people's faces can be changed. However, when it is confirmed that the white hair of the years is turning black quietly, and the wrinkles are fading away, youth makes the whole face look like a different face Individuals.

Housekeeper Lin, with a strange face, was stunned. He also shook his head with a smile. Then he sighed again and said, "it's my turn to be a handsome veteran

……

The news of the emperor's death spread all over the capital, and the people were in a state of panic. In this spring season, the real dragon emperor of the Jin Dynasty went back, leaving the candidates who had not yet been appointed as the crown prince. The civil and military officials had their own plans, and they had to bet all their money on an unknown future.

Zhao Jin looked at her second elder brother anxiously and said, "second elder brother, your majesty, what's the situation in the court now?" The future of the crown prince is always an open question. The sudden death of the emperor makes people feel more surprised. Before that, the emperor did not show which one he wanted to appoint as the crown prince. Before the emperor fell ill, the crown prince had already been abolished, so he should have set up early. But the Emperor didn't make any action, as if he was waiting for something. After all, the eighth Prince Xuanli is excellent, but she has a laggard mother Princess Chen Guifei. The rising star of the thirteenth Prince has shown her intelligence, but she is not supported by her strong mother's family. Both of them are good at governing the world, but it's hard to pick one out.

But the emperor looked on, but he didn't expect to fall ill so soon. And after he fell ill, he didn't wake up any more, until he died, he didn't have the chance to choose the crown prince again. Seizing the right is something that everyone knows is bound to happen, but without the imperial edict, it will only make things more chaotic and the fight more fierce.

"Your Majesty's mind is something you and I can guess at will." Zhao Er Ge interrupts his younger sister's words: "don't say these words outside. The province brings trouble. Recently, the capital is in chaos."

"Yes," elder brother Zhao Wen Yan also came over and nodded Zhao Jin's head: "you are a straightforward, don't know the strange. I see that it's better to stay in the government these days, so as not to cause trouble. "

Zhao Jin pushed aside his hand: "I'm also worried about my father. My father seems anxious these days. I don't know what I can do. Your Majesty's death is too sudden. What will happen in the future in Beijing? Who can say? " Zhao Jin, who has always been optimistic, also feels a little worried at the moment. Will the imperial court without the emperor really be ok? Empress Yide is old after all. Even if I come out to preside over the overall situation at this moment, I'm afraid I can't press it down. It's still worrying.
