Chapter 144

The palace maid did not expect this. She frowned and shook her head when she heard Cheng Yujin's question: "I don't know."

Cheng Yujin felt uneasy. The people around the emperor came to summon him. Who didn't get the news and go immediately? Where would he think about others. Cheng Yujin immediately called the eunuch who was in charge of inquiring about the news and asked, "who's going into the palace today?"

After thinking for a while, the eunuch said, "if you go back to the crown princess, I will rush into the palace at the end of the day. Oh, yes, Shouwang is here, too. "

"Chongxu Sanren, Shouwang..." Cheng Yujin's intuition is not good. Recently, Shouwang and Chongxu Sanren are very close. They often go together to give the emperor some soup. The emperor was addicted to the way of longevity. He was a little confused originally. Now he is controlled by Chongxu Sanren and Shouwang. He is more indifferent to the world, and outsiders can't contact the emperor at all.

According to previous experience, Shouwang and Chongxu Sanren always stay in the palace for several hours after they enter the palace. Today, they entered the palace at a later time. Now, before you time, Shouwang and Chongxu Sanren are mostly still in the palace. Did the emperor really say that Li Chengjing went to Qianqing palace?

Cheng Yujin asked, "what happened when people came into the palace today?"

The eunuch scratched his head, not sure: "it seems to be for Changsheng pill. Ten days ago, Chongxu Sanren got a big reward for refining the elixir for the emperor. Today seems to be the day to offer the elixir. King Shou went with him to the palace, mostly for the sake of entering Dan. "

"Longevity pill?" She had never heard of this pill. Cheng Yujin asked, "where did Changsheng pill come from? Have you ever offered it before?"

The eunuch shook his head: "No. This is the magic of the immortal family that Chongxu scattered people have been instructed by the immortal in their dreams recently. Today is the first time that an individual presents Dan to his majesty. "

After sitting for a long time, Cheng Yujin suddenly stood up and said, "it's not good!"

The people who served around were startled: "princess, what's the matter?"

Cheng Yujin where there is a mind to explain to the servants, she quickly ran out with a skirt, shouting: "prepare sedan chair, go to Qianqing palace."

Cheng Yujin's heart beats fiercely. If she guesses right The emperor should be dead by now.

Alchemy has always been a matter of luck. Taoists throw a pile of materials that they don't know what they are into the furnace. Who can guarantee what they will produce. But one dares to offer and the other dares to eat. There are countless kings who died of erysipelas in history. Most of them were chronic poisonous hair, so the alchemist was safe. But the emperor's food today may have killed him immediately.

That's why Li Chengjing was called to Qianqing palace instead of the smoky Yinghua palace. If Cheng Yujin guessed correctly, Shouwang and Chongxu Sanren poisoned the emperor. They were afraid of being investigated for responsibility, so they sent the emperor to Qianqing palace and summoned Li Chengjing to the audience under the pretext of the emperor's dictation. Li Chengjing was called to the Qianqing palace unprepared. If the emperor died and Li Chengjing was at the scene, wouldn't he be speechless?

Cheng Yujin didn't dare to think about it. She was sitting in the sedan chair, so nervous that her hands were shaking. The sedan chair is faster than herself. It's not long since Li Chengjing left. Maybe she can make it.

At the moment, Li Chengjing has entered the Qianqing palace.

Qianqing palace is quiet now. The grand and solemn imperial palace of the past is surprisingly quiet now, as if it is deliberately suppressing something.

Since the emperor trusted the Taoist, all the people who followed him changed into Taoist. The former servant was stopped by Chongxu scattered people because he could not go in to disturb the emperor's Qingxiu. The emperor spent most of his time in the eyes of Chongxu Sanren. Once upon a time, the emperor and his courtiers, the eunuchs of the Qianqing palace, who were once the most beautiful, lost their power one after another.

It's not a day or two for Chongxu to call the wind and the rain. At the moment, the Qianqing palace is quite desolate.

Li Chengjing is still safe and steady up the stairs. When the eunuch at the gate of the palace sees him, he quickly pushes the gate to Li Chengjing: "Your Highness, long live, you are waiting inside. Just go in."

Li Chengjing smiles at the eunuch and says, "thank you."

Li Chengjing lifted his robe and stepped into the high threshold. The eunuch quietly relaxed. However, before he could restrain his face, the prince suddenly stopped and turned to ask him, "why is the palace so quiet?"

The eunuch didn't expect the prince to turn around suddenly, and his heart nearly jumped out. He tried to suppress his face, bowed his head and said: "long live, after his highness was declared, he suddenly felt sleepy, so he went to the West Hall to have a rest. Long live said that when the prince comes, there's no need to report outside. Just go to see him in xi'nei. "

"I see." Li Chengjing looks at the eunuch with a smile. The eunuch almost thought that the prince had found something, but the next moment, the prince went to the west hall without hesitation.

After the eunuch couldn't see the prince's back, he finally dared to take the rest of his breath out. Fortunately, it was just a false alarm. The prince didn't find it.

Li Chengjing walked all the way to the innermost part of the West Hall, where the emperor slept and lived. The bright yellow dragon bed was particularly conspicuous. At the moment, the bright yellow curtain has been put down. Through the curtain, you can see a person lying on the side of the bed.

Look at the clothes. It's the emperor.This scene is really like the emperor's nap. Li Chengjing drooped his eyes, folded his hands and bowed slowly: "my son, see your majesty."

After Li Chengjing finished, there was no answer for a long time. Li Chengjing's posture was still, and he repeated it in a loud voice. Before it was quiet, he whispered "son Chen offends" and then opened the curtain and went inside.

Li Chengjing went to the Dragon bed and was about to lift the last curtain when a voice came from behind.

"Your Highness!"

Li Chengjing hand meal, looking back, to see people can not help but frown: "how do you come?"

Cheng Yujin couldn't even breathe. She quickly ran to Li Chengjing over the curtains. She held Li Chengjing's hand holding the bed curtain and shook her head: "Your Highness, the emperor is resting. Don't disturb him."

Her eyes were so wide, and the light was so intense that it almost made one suspect that they were going to speak. Li Chengjing covered the back of Cheng Yujin's hand, firmly and forcefully grasped it, but still lifted the curtain with one hand.

The emperor turned his back to them and could not see his face clearly. Cheng Yujin could not help but grasp Li Chengjing's sleeve: "Your Highness..."

"Nothing." Li Chengjing sidestepped to block her eyes and said, "if you are afraid, don't look."

With that, Li Chengjing straightened his hand and slowly turned the emperor over. Cheng Yujin wants to see it, but she doesn't dare to. She hides behind Li Chengjing. After a while, she felt that Li Chengjing had not moved for a long time, and slowly opened her eyes: "Your Highness?"

Li Chengjing took his hand back from under the emperor's nose. Looking carefully, he could feel his fingers shaking.

He did not speak, Cheng Yujin has understood everything. Li Chengjing silently lifted his clothes and knelt down beside the bed. Cheng Yujin also knelt down.

This return journey Yu Jin also saw clearly, the emperor lies flat on the Dragon bed, the chest no longer undulates. His lips were black and his face was very pale. He didn't look like he died of natural causes.

Cheng Yujin vaguely heard Li Chengjing cry: "father." She wants to hear it again, but it's invisible. It seems that it's just Cheng Yujin's illusion.

"I have been away from you for 14 years, and it is unfilial that I can't bear the joys. Even after I come back these two years, I am always busy with Court Affairs and seldom serve you. When I was a child, I was taken care of by you for three years. I asked about food and drink day by day. I had to watch others try my medicine before I let him drink it. This body is given by the parents, this name is made by the parents, but the children's ministers never serve their biological parents. Your majesty, please forgive me for being unfilial. "

Cheng Yujin sighed and gave the emperor the most solemn salute. Even if the father and son are suspicious and the monarch and his ministers kill each other, the emperor, after all, is Li Chengjing's father.

When Li Chengjing paid homage for the second time, there was a loud noise outside. It was obvious that a group of people came in. But Li Chengjing turned a deaf ear and still kowtowed to the emperor for the third time.

Li Chengjun with people to break in, found that Li Chengjing is to the emperor line Jishou ceremony, immediately cried out: "prince, what are you doing!"

Li Chengjun quickly opened the outermost curtain, looked at it from a distance, and immediately showed an unbelievable color: "how dare you kill your king! My father is dead! "

Li Chengjun's words were like a thunderbolt. The old ministers who were followed by him were so shocked that their voices changed: "what, what's the matter with your majesty?"

Li Chengjing did not look at Li Chengjun, but reached out to help Cheng Yujin get up. Li Chengjun was still shouting. At last, he suddenly knelt down and wailed: "father, my son is unfilial. My son is late!"

Now the first assistant, once the second assistant, came forward tremblingly, tried his fingers before the emperor's breath, and fell to his knees: "Your Majesty "Oh, my God

The following several old ministers looked at each other, knelt down on the ground together, and sobbed: "your majesty!"

Compared with Li Chengjun's wailing, Li Chengjing's feelings are very introverted, which makes Li Chengjing out of place. Several old ministers hid their faces and cried for a while. When they looked up again, it didn't affect the brilliance of their eyes at all.

"Prince, King Shou, what's the matter?"

Li Chengjun suddenly stood up, pointed to Li Chengjing and yelled, "it must be him. He killed his father! He had been alone with his father before, and when we entered the temple, we just heard him say that he was unfilial and saluted his father. If it wasn't his hand, who else would it be? "

At the moment, Li Jun's face was not full of tears. Hearing Li Chengjun's words, several senior officials stood up one after another, keeping their distance. Looking back and forth between Li Chengjing and Li Chengjun, they seemed to want to find out some details.

Chongxu Sanren followed at the end, and then slowly walked into Qianqing palace. Seeing the standoff, he pretended to compare several fingerprints, pinched his fingers and calculated for a long time, sighed and shook his head: "Your Majesty has been poisoned by blood, and now his soul is gone, and there is no way back."

Li Chengjun raised his head and asked, "did my father die of poison?"

"That's right. Once the poison enters the mouth, it will break out, and the poison will only take place in an instant. We're late, sire. We've just been poisoned. "

Just poisoned? But Li Chengjing was the only one around the Emperor just now.Everyone's eyes looked at Li Chengjing. Li Chengjing didn't move his eyes, and he didn't move at all.

When Li Chengjun saw his performance, he was even more excited: "father's body is in front of him. Are you not crying or sad? It can be seen that you are numb and rebellious. If someone comes, don't you take down the traitor soon! "

The ministers looked at each other, and the first assistant arched his hand and asked the outstanding people's questions: "Your Highness, why are you here? What the hell is going on? "

Li Chengjing said: "I came at the command of your majesty. When I came in, your majesty had "Oh, my God

"It's you Li Chengjun said excitedly, "my father told you to come. It can be seen that my father was still well at that time. But when I came in with you, my father was dead. You're not the one who's behind the scenes. Who else? You are a traitor. You don't fight yourself. "

Li Chengjun's words sound reasonable. Shoufu looks at Li Chengjing: "Your Highness, how do you explain this?"

Li Chengjing said: "I have no explanation. When I came, your majesty had already gone."

"Oh, you can't justify being caught by us." Li Chengjun was so aggressive that he said angrily, "my father was still in good condition when he gave his oral instructions. He was killed after you came. Before, you were the only one in the hall. When we came in, you knelt down to your father and said you were unfilial. There's a mountain of hard evidence. What else can you say? "

Cheng Yujin frowned. She was so big that she had never suffered from a quarrel. She has always been the only one who framed others. Now the second prince wants to pour dirty water on them?

It depends on whether she agrees or not. Cheng Yujin raised her eyes and said in a soft voice, "King Shou, I really can't understand what you said. His highness said that he was unfilial because he wanted to raise his son and didn't want to be treated by his parents. Before his highness could serve his majesty, the emperor went away. As for kneeling When the emperor died, he should have given a big gift at once. The king of longevity and the adults came in and knelt down to salute

Choked and dazed for a moment, Li Chengjun said, "it's not obvious that something unexpected happened to you after your father's dictation."

"How does King Shou know that it's a holy edict?" Cheng Yujin looked at Li Chengjun and said, "who is not passing the imperial edict

Li Chengjun couldn't answer for a moment. At this time, Chongxu scattered people said: "the Crown Princess and the crown prince are really affectionate. They speak for the crown prince everywhere. However, I can testify that the crown prince has been resenting his majesty for a long time, so that he often targets me and my disciples. Your majesty talked about it with me before I went. I'm very sorry for the prince. "

When it comes to Emperor Chongyu, it's not good to meet people. The suspicion of the monarch and the officials is the fatal wound of the east palace. No matter how it is said, the east palace can't be treated well.

Li Chengjun got the advice from Chongxu, and immediately said firmly: "it turns out that you have a grudge against your father, who banned you and relieved you of your authority. You have a grudge against him, so you kill your father and kill your king, intending to replace him. How can you be a prince like this? Come on, don't take down the traitor quickly

When Li Chengjun's words fell, several Taoists rushed to Li Chengjing and Cheng Yujin. Cheng Yujin can't help but step back and is about to retort. Suddenly, she is held by Li Chengjing's shoulder and sent to her back with absolute protection.

At the moment, before they could get close to Li Chengjing and Cheng Yujin, they were stopped by the eunuch of the East Palace and kicked to the ground. Li Chengjun saw pick eyebrow: "you are crazy, actually in front of the imperial force? If it's really Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows it. Prince, you can't hide your wolf ambition any more. "

With that, Li Chengjun yelled at several cabinet elders and many palace people: "the prince killed his father and killed his king. He wanted to rebel. After he was found, he became angry and took risks. You are not ready to subdue these rebels

For any prince, treason is almost fatal. Li Chengjun had expected that after he finished shouting, Li Chengjing would be beaten by everyone. No matter how bad the situation was, he would fall into a scuffle. However, when he finished speaking for a long time, the echo dissipated, and there was no response from the public.

Li Chengjun couldn't believe it. His eyes swept over the chief assistant, the old man in the cabinet, the eunuch and the bodyguard one by one: "you are tolerant of anti thieves. Do you want to rebel?"

The people Li Chengjun saw either bowed their heads or opened their eyes wrongly, but no one moved except the Daoists who fell to the ground.

Li Chengjing gave a slight smile and walked slowly to Li Chengjun: "second brother, it's difficult to set up such a bureau for you. In order to plant it on me, I also pulled the cabinet over. Unfortunately, you have forgotten a saying that water can carry a boat and also overturn it. Those who win people will win the world, and those who lose people will lose the world. Now, that's what you see

Li Chengjun frowned, very unconvinced, about to say something to refute, but Li Chengjing has lost patience, do not want to listen to his nonsense, suddenly said in a high voice: "come on, take down the demon and Shouwang."

He is careful when he protects Cheng Yujin and calm when he talks with Li Chengjun. Until now, he suddenly sinks his voice and doesn't change much, but the killing spirit around him sweeps the whole room.

As soon as Li Chengjing's voice fell, the Imperial Army, which had just disappeared, clanged in. The general at the head knelt down to Li Chengjing and said, "see your Highness the prince for your humble duty."

"The evil way, Chongxu, and Sanren offer poisonous elixir to the Holy One, which leads to the holy one's poisonous hair. The king of longevity makes trouble for the tiger, and the crime is complicity. Put the two men together in the dungeon and wait for their release. "Li Chengjun was startled and yelled at a crowd of royal guards dressed neatly and with real swords: "ridiculous, how dare you break the law? It is clear that he is the real murderer who killed his father. Do you think the thief is the master and you want to rebel? "

Li Chengjing looked the same and said, "second brother, why do you insist that it's me? When you enter the hall and lift the curtain, you don't even approach. Why dare you assert that your majesty is in heaven? And how do you know that your majesty did not die naturally, but was killed? "

Li Chengjun's voice was too loud to answer. Several old ministers nodded slightly. Yes, after the second prince entered the hall, he just lifted the curtain and began to cry on his knees. But the first assistant braved the great injustice and tried to breathe before he dared to announce the emperor's visit to heaven. Compared with the reaction of the first assistant, the second prince cried too quickly.

"I I was concerned and confused. I lost my opinion in panic. " Li Chengjun argued.

"Still refuse to plead guilty?" Li Chengjun waved his sleeve and said in a loud voice, "present the longevity pill presented by Chongxu Sanren and Shouwang Jin."

On hearing this, Li Chengjun's face turned white. When the elders saw this, they had made a decision in their hearts. It happens that there are two pieces for the emperor. They are also for the twins. Li Chengjun watched as another Changsheng pill, which should have been destroyed, was delivered to Li Chengjing. Li Chengjing scraped a little and fed it to a crane from Yinghua hall. Sure enough, the crane flapped its wings and whined for a while, then died.

Seeing that the crane had lost its movement, Li Chengjing said coldly, "this crane died after taking a little powder. Your majesty took a whole pill of red medicine. You can imagine how painful it is. Your Majesty's accidental death was poisoned by both of you! Chongxu scattered people deceive the world, steal fame, and disturb the court, but now they still poison the emperor. King Shou, as a son of man, is also an accomplice in offering pills to his majesty. Your majesty, Bintian, you are responsible for your death

"I, I..." Li Chengjun was speechless and could not say anything more. When Chongxu scattered people saw the situation, they wanted to sneak out quietly, but they were caught by the guards outside. Li Chengjun's psychological defense line collapsed and retreated. He was still mumbling: "it's not me, it's not me..."

However, no matter what kind of struggle the second prince was making, someone had already knelt down with Li Chengjun on his knees. Shoufu's eyes swept around the imperial guards and went forward respectfully to kowtow to Li Chengjing: "it was a great tragedy for the world that the former Emperor came to heaven. However, the country can not be without a monarch for a day. I sincerely ask his Royal Highness the prince to comply with the people's will and ascend the throne as soon as possible to preside over the overall situation! "

His highness knelt down. Seeing this, Cheng Yujin stepped back and said, "please, your highness, ascend to the throne."

At the moment, Qianqing Palace's clothes are very messy. There are cabinet civil servants embroidered with birds, Imperial military officers with full armor, eunuchs in red, palace maids in green, and Cheng Yujin in flowing light. However, at the moment, these various clothes are respectfully close to the ground. People with different identities and different dignities kneel down at the feet of Li Chengjing and say in unison: "please your Highness the prince ascend the throne."

Everyone knelt down, but Li Chengjing stood alone, which made him more and more graceful and upright. Li Chengjing's eyes swept over many kneeling heads, and finally bent down to help Cheng Yujin up.

Cheng Yujin stands up straight with the help of Li Chengjing. After Cheng Yujin stands up, Li Chengjing holds her in one hand and stands shoulder to shoulder with herself. The other hand slowly lifts up: "no gift, flat body."

But the crowd bowed down: "Congratulations, your majesty. Long live your majesty, long live your majesty. The queen is a thousand years old

"Emperor Ming, the eldest son of emperor Xiaozong, lived in exile and returned to China in the 23rd year of Jianwu. The emperor was granted the crown prince at the age of five. In the same year, he went to Qingxuan temple for rest due to illness. He was the first to assist Yang Fucheng. He was seriously injured and disappeared. Fortunately, he was saved by his wife Xue. The emperor was young and intelligent. Although he fostered the people, he was still quick and eager to learn. He was promoted to senior high school in the 19th year of Jianwu, and made great achievements as an official. The emperor regained the throne of emperor Xiaozong.

All his life, the emperor was diligent, virtuous, open-minded, and created a prosperous era of Yuanxi. The emperor only married the empress. In the grand ceremony of his accession to the throne, the emperor said that Gaozu had ordered a man to take concubines only when he was forty and had no children. I had my eldest son when I was twenty-two, so I would not take concubines in the future, and all the officials would not mention the selection of the imperial concubines. In his whole life, Emperor Zhong never set up a concubine. He raised his eyebrows with his wife. His feelings and beauty are legendary stories. "

The history of the Ming Dynasty, no matter who the chief editor is, has been sparing no effort to suppress a rumor that Qi Ming emperor, who is brilliant and has never been tainted in his life, married his niece. When Emperor Jiadi and empress Yeshi of the Ming Dynasty were called Empresses of boudoirs, there were even places where no one would laugh.

Rumor, it's all rumor.

Later, in the 13th year of Yuanxi, the eldest princess Li Mingyue, who had reached the age of Huaichun, asked her mother how to find her husband. The beautiful empress, who looks like a bright moon, thought about it and said with a smile, "you need to find an uncle first, and then let him help you introduce the young talents around you."

Li Chengjing, a perfect and gracious historian who made all the historians fight for his Majesty's name, has no choice but to look at his queen.

They are so similar that their life paths should be similar and disjoint. If you want to blame it, you can only blame the snow in the early spring of the 22nd year of Jianwu. The snow is charming. Li Chengjing sees a beautiful girl through the snow without hesitation and slaps her ex fiance. Suddenly, she is curious.Who is she?

Then Li Chengjing wondered, he is not the Cheng family, who is the girl, what are the grudges between the young men and women, and what does it have to do with him?

Then, he saw the girl looking back. It seemed that he had made an evaluation, and then Shi ran saluted: "nine uncle Wanfu."

In the end, Li Chengjing knew that she was the first lady of Yichun Marquis's mansion, and she was his niece.

He is also his wife, Cheng Yujin.

The end of the text.

The author has something to say:

"Jiu Shu" is over. He is in a complicated mood, very isolated, and he doesn't even want to write.

"Jiu Shu" was serialized from August to the end of December. It lasted for more than four months and basically became a part of my life. It's sad to say goodbye to them all of a sudden.

Cheng Yujin and Li Chengjing (Cheng Yuanjing) are two characters. I was very worried when they started to do the design of human beings. Cheng Yujin's character is very It's not that great. She is self-conscious, hypocritical, and extremely egoistic. Similarly, she is smart, beautiful, ambitious and unswerving in her goal. She has the qualities that a successful person needs, but she is not a good person in the secular sense.

I hope that like Cheng Yujin, you will always take the initiative and always be firm, instead of being as determined as she is. In order to avoid the end, you should cut off all the beginning.

Li Chengjing is an ideal image of Prince. He has been burdened with this burden for a long time, and even he does not know his original character. Only when he faced Cheng Yujin in the later stage would he show the contrast of the veteran cadres.

In fact, when I first set up the love drama mode of Jiushu and Cheng Yujin, I was bald all the time, and even worried about how these two passive people would fall in love. Later, I wrote that after they got married, I found that it was OK. When two veteran cadres fell in love, on the surface, neither of them was quiet. In fact, in my heart, the old house was on fire.

Because the prince has already written about gongdou, I don't want to write about gongdou after the marriage of Jiushu, so it weakens the palace struggle, and reflects the palace and court struggle with the emotional changes of Cheng Yujin and Li Chengjing. So after marriage, they have a lot of daily life. Although it seems plain, every time they chat, it corresponds to an important event on the time line, which is shown in their conversation.

I have always believed that love is gentle, love is respect, love is equality. When I compared with Huo Changyuan and Cheng Yumo, I especially focused on this point. As for the final account of the remaining roles, I will make it up in fanwai. Because I've been crazy for half a month. When you see the closing chapter of Jiu Shu, I've actually finished writing it for half a month (I'm so proud) (casually mention it) (try to hold it back).

By the time you see this chapter, I'll have opened a new serial. Yes, the shameful name of "I'll be my sister-in-law for the male master" will probably follow the style of "stepmother". The male master's fighting power is strong, and the female master's day and night.

This book has both happiness and hardship, but it is still a little more happy overall. I hope it will bring you more warmth and happiness than others.

In the 25th year of Jianwu, Cheng Yujin gave birth to a dragon and a Phoenix. The emperor died and Li Chengjing ascended the throne. The adventure of Jiu Shu and his niece ended here. The story of Yuanxi was written by them.

Thank you to all the readers who support Jiushu, thank you to all the readers who see it here, thank you to the fairies who cast thunder and infuse nutrient solution for Jiushu and Cheng Yujin, especially to the little angels who subscribe to the legal edition.

I'll see you in the next story.
