Chapter 268 - I'll Deal with You Later!
“Clang!” The shattering sound continued for the time it took to make a cup of tea. When the gate was opened, the court lady and eunuch who were kneeling outside the hall saw the messy ground.
The Chief Minister Qu led the servants in, urging them to quickly clean up the wreckage. He smiled as he gathered in front of the angry Emperor, and braced himself to say: “Your Majesty, please calm your anger. The dragon body is important.
The emperor loves the Fourth Prince the most. He would probably be happier if he heard this.
The emperor raised his head and glanced at him, then suddenly extended a bloody hand to grab Chief Minister Qu by the neck, “You guys... They were all traitors! All of you have betrayed me! I will kill you all! “
“Cough, cough ...” Huang ... Your Majesty, this servant did not ... “Your majesty, you're injured. This servant will go get an imperial physician ...”
“Anyone who dares to betray us must die!”
“Yes, yes ...” This servant swears to the heavens that I will never dare to betray the Emperor! “
The Emperor's eyes were bloodshot and his sword-shaped eyebrows slanted to the side. He looked extremely fierce as he let go and laughed loudly. “All of you want me to die!” They all want to seize my throne, dream! You're dreaming! I will kill you all! “
Chief Minister Qu sat on the ground as his fat body trembled. He knelt on the ground and hugged the emperor's leg as he cried, “Your Majesty, please don't be angry.
The palace maids and eunuchs in the great hall were all frightened like birds that had been frightened out of their wits. The Emperor's current temperament was ever-changing. One moment he could reward you heavily and the next moment he could take your life.
Moreover, from the looks of his current state, he seemed to have gone insane. It was truly frightening.
“Cough, cough ...” You ants, how dare you dream about my mountains ... I will kill you all! ” The Emperor kicked Chief Minister Qu away and wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve. A trace of blood stained the sleeves of his dragon robe.
The emperor stared at the bloodstain for a while before suddenly shouting in fear, “I've been poisoned ...” I must have been poisoned! Someone ... The imperial physician! “Investigate for me!”
Chief Minister Qu crawled over while clutching his aching chest. When he saw the bloodstain, he was so frightened that his soul left his body. He hurriedly ran out, “Your servant will go right now!”
The eunuchs and maids within the great hall didn't even dare to breathe loudly. If the Emperor was really poisoned, then they would all die. The fear of death engulfed the great hall, causing them to feel uneasy.
Imperial Physician Li arrived soon after. He first gave a large gift before going forward to take a look at the emperor's pulse.
“Has Zhen been poisoned again?” Isn't it? “Those bastards all want me to die, they all want me to die early ...”
Imperial Physician Li checked his pulse obediently, pretending he hadn't heard these words. After a long while, he finally let go of the emperor's wrist and hesitantly said, “Your majesty, you weren't poisoned, it's just that the side effects of the medicine from last time are still present. This humble subject told you that you shouldn't get too excited right now.”
“He wasn't poisoned?” The emperor obviously didn't believe him. “If he wasn't poisoned, why would he cough blood? You can't find it out! Someone, call everyone in the hospital over! “
Huo Yiloong was furious, “They haven't even been appraised, why did they bring them in? “What if it's a fake, how do you expect others to see it?”
“Fifth master, this man is muttering loudly at the door. All the passersby are watching him, it's such an ugly scene.” In any case, he had made it clear outside the door that if it was really the fifth young master's child, then Huo Family would definitely be responsible. If it wasn't, then he could just send someone to the yamen to report the case.
Huo Yiloong ran into the Flower Hall, followed by a group of people.
When he entered the door, he discovered that Mrs. Huo was already there. He lowered his head and looked at the child, as if he was trying to figure out if the child was her grandson.
“Lord Fifth ...” A coquettish voice woke everyone up. Huo Yiloong looked towards the direction of the voice and saw an enchanting beauty looking at him with tears in her eyes.
Huo Yiloong frowned and thought, then remembered who the woman was.
Once he heard that a woman of the best quality came to the flowerbed, and was urged to go to see it by a few good brothers. Then he thought that this woman was not bad looking, with a sweet voice, a graceful figure, and a good guqin, so he kept her for a while.
However, there was no shortage of concubines in his family, and he didn't go there often either. Even if he did go there, he would make her play the zither and stay the night even less.
After that, he had a new person, so he naturally forgot about this woman. When the people from the Flower Hall came to ask for money, he even sent people out to beat her up. After that, he never saw this woman again.
Mrs. Huo had finished appraising and handed the child over to Huo Yiloong, “That's right, it's very similar to when you were young. Let someone carry the child away.
Huo Yiloong took the child in panic, he stared at the child for a while, but he could not see how it looked like his own, but since the Mrs. Huo had spoken, he was too lazy to bother with it.
She looked at Fifth Master Huo with tears shining on her face, “I definitely don't remember, I was forced to come here because I couldn't continue to live. My child has grown up, and I've lived a difficult life, so I'm afraid I can't support him.”
“Oh.” Huo Yiloong nodded indifferently and instructed the butler, “Go and give her the five hundred silver, treat it as the reward for giving birth to her child.”
The woman was delighted at first, but then she said with tears streaming down her face, “This humble servant's status is low. I don't dare to dream of being your wife or concubine. I only hope that I can stay by your side and serve you.”
Huo Yiloong stared at her in puzzlement, “Do you really think that with your status, you aren't even qualified to be a slave?
Seeing that the other party was about to cry again, Huo Yiloong drove him away impatiently, “Enough, take the money and scram. Who knows why you wanted to give birth to my child in the first place? Now that the child has been acknowledged, you can go wherever you want to go! “
The lady rushed over and knelt at Huo Yiloong's feet, “Lord Fifth, please take me in, I have nowhere else to go.”
“Woman, you're really strange. I'll give you five hundred taels of silver. You can go anywhere you want. What do you mean you have nowhere to go?” Although he could not buy a large house in the capital with this amount of money, it was enough for him to live for half a lifetime in a small place.
Mrs. Huo looked at this, then looked at that, and said: “Butler, put the person in the servant room first, we can talk about this later.”
“Mother, why did you ...” Huo Yiloong looked at Mrs. Huo in disbelief. How come he didn't know that his mother was so caring?
Mrs. Huo glared at him, leaving behind a sentence, “I'll deal with you later!” Then he left with the child in his arms.
