Chapter 359(1/2)
People have already died, how can they be cured?
The imperial physician on duty today was dragged by Emperor Chengzhen to the bed of Princess Liuzhu, kneeling in fear. He knew that he shouldn't have caused such a fishy body! But not only Emperor Chengzhen didn't believe it, but he actually didn't believe it in his heart! When he came to the Imperial Hospital before, the people in Yuanxi Palace said that His Royal Highness had fainted.
Everyone in this palace knows that His Highness the Princess is unwilling to marry, so he doesn't even want to eat much these days. It's normal to faint now. After being hungry for a long time, who can hold on? Not to mention that he is a princess with a delicate body and a precious body, so how can he stand it?
So when he first heard this news, he actually didn't treat it seriously.
But who knew that he was following the person with the medicine box on his back, but His Highness the Princess was no longer angry!
This is a good thing. If the emperor is angry and really wants to pay his life, what should he do? The more he thinks, the more he is more afraid. He immediately loses his manners and just kneels at the feet of Emperor Chengzhen and cries and kowtows, begging for mercy and keep begging for mercy: "Your Majesty, I am incompetent, I really have no power to turn the world back!"
As he said that even if Hua Tuo and Bian Que came, it was impossible to cure the dead. He really wanted to give a hundred examples immediately to excuse himself, and he wanted Emperor Chengzhen to agree with him immediately.
However, Emperor Chengzhen only stared at Princess Liuzhu's blue-white face at this moment, staring at her slender feather eyelashes that had not trembled for a moment, and was lost.
This daughter, whom he loved in the eyes of everyone, is now really lying there without any anger. She will not call him his father, nor will she cry and make noise in front of him and refuse to agree to the marriage... She is really like she is dead!
Emperor Chengzhen's fingers trembled slightly, and he was about to confirm whether the matter in front of him was true or false.
If he said that he still didn't believe in Princess Liu Zhu's death just now, he now believed in it eighty percent.
But his fingers had almost reached under Princess Liu Zhu's nose. He suddenly withdrew his hand back, and he shrank his hand in his sleeve as if he was afraid to verify. His face was heavy, and water was almost dripping. Emperor Chengzhen squinted his eyes and said suddenly: "Babao, see what the princess is like."
Although this was just to let him see what happened to the princess, everyone present knew that Emperor Chengzhen’s real meaning at this moment was just to make sure that Princess Liu Zhu, who was lying on the bed, was really exhausted, and was it really completely helpless.
At this critical moment, if Princess Liu Zhu dies, the marriage will naturally collapse.
If it was changed, it would be fine if only a princess would be needed to marry her. Just change her name and get on the carriage and go away. But this time is different from the past. The other party asked her to ask her to marry her, so of course she had seen her portrait.
The people of Amobi did not have the rules of Dayue. Things like women who could not be rumored casually on their own are just nonsense. So they all heard that the lustful old Khan of Amobi had already hung the portrait of Princess Liuzhu on the wall, and they were about to fall asleep every night.
Such a thing makes people disgusted when they hear it, and it also makes people understand that it is impossible to exchange for a bad princess Zhu casually. If you want to find someone similar to her, where will you go to? How can things in this world be so simple!
Therefore, Princess Liuzhu must marry Amobi!
It is precisely because of this that Emperor Chengzhen showed such a look at this moment.
Eunuch Cao had known that he would be like this for a long time, and expected that he would ask himself to check whether Princess Liuzhu was alive or dead, so he was ready before hearing Emperor Chengzhen's order.
This is also their first preparation in advance to prevent some accidents from happening.
There is nothing absolute in the world. So even if the fake death medicine is a good thing, it cannot guarantee that it will never make any mistakes. In order to avoid this, we can only rely on Eunuch Cao.
In front of Emperor Chengzhen, if there was a problem with the medicine, he would still have one in his hand. With his ability, he would definitely be able to do something under Emperor Chengzhen's nose.
Eunuch Cao prepared everything, bowed forward, and explored Princess Zhu's breath. No, I felt nothing. Instead, the girl's cheeks that he accidentally touched had changed from the original smoothness to some kind of cold and dryness. He felt relieved and understood that this was the medicine that was working.
He turned around, his eyes were filled with fear, and said to Emperor Chengzhen: "Emperor, Princess, she..."
Halfway through his words, combined with his face and eyes, this is the most convincing thing. Besides, these words came out of his mouth, which would not make Emperor Chengzhen suspicious. After hearing his words, Emperor Chengzhen was stunned on the spot and suddenly laughed.
A group of people who were originally afraid of being laughed at by him, all laughed so hard.
Is the emperor crazy?
His Highness the Princess is dead, how can the Emperor still laugh?
At this moment, even if you really tell Princess Liuzhu's death, no one would believe it. They would only feel that Dayue was not keeping his word and went back on his word, which was an act of provocation! But if they didn't say it, where would they go to find Princess Liuzhu to send her to their marriage?
Emperor Chengzhen smiled and suddenly put away his smile, and ordered coldly, "The affairs in Yuanxi Palace cannot be revealed from today. Once the matter of the princess is leaked, then the entire Yuanxi Palace will be buried with you!"
Everyone knelt down in panic, but they were suspicious in their hearts, not knowing what Emperor Chengzhen intended.
Only Eunuch Cao vaguely guessed the meaning of Emperor Chengzhen's words.
At this time, he couldn't help but think of someone coming.
When the second lady of the Ye family and now the wife of the Ninth Master of the Pei family, Ye Kui, he had heard from him several very likely accidents when he met Pei Changge. Of course, in his opinion, what could be thought of before the incident happened was not a surprise at all. But after hearing those words, even if he thought he was smart, he had to admit that it was extremely amazing that she could think of these things and come up with countermeasures at the same time.
This situation is a possibility that Ye Kui had expected.
Even if Princess Liu Zhu dies, Emperor Chengzhen's idea of marrying her will not be extinguished by herself like a gradual burning fire.
In Ye Kui's opinion, there is probably only one reason. Why did he have to negotiate with Amobi, who had been fighting each other for so many years? He even wanted to marry his beloved daughter to an old man in his seventies? Ye Kui had thought about this issue a long time ago. Such a situation can only prove that the heir that Emperor Chengzhen wanted was a very bad person who was very good at fighting, or that he might not make great achievements in military affairs, and he even had no courage to be an emperor at all. That's why he had to solve everything that could be solved before the man inherited the throne.
Amobby's affairs are naturally one of them.
Therefore, even if Princess Liu Zhu dies, he still won’t plan to give up!
Even if it was a corpse, he would find a way to marry her to Amobie.
At the beginning, even Pei Changge felt it was incredible when he heard such speculation. But Ye Kui dared to be sure that Emperor Chengzhen would do such a thing. As a result, Eunuch Cao looked at the situation in front of him and had to sigh that this time was really incredible.
Emperor Chengzhen did not continue to stay in Yuanxi Palace for a long time. After he personally explored Princess Liuzhu's nasal vein, he just stood quietly and stared at her ugly face for a while, and then became angry.
"Your Highness the Princess refuses to eat. Wouldn't you find a way to let her eat?"
"She is feeling unwell. Why didn't you come to report to me earlier?"
"Everything is all waste, it's time to kill!"
He scolded the group of people so hard that he was trembling with fear, but he did not really give anyone a shot, but instead shook his sleeves and frowned tightly.
Eunuch Cao knew that Emperor Chengzhen must be very unhappy at this moment. Therefore, he had to be more considerate in front of Emperor Chengzhen.
After entering the imperial study room, Emperor Chengzhen suddenly said, "Put the chess for me."
At this moment, he wanted to play chess? Eunuch Cao immediately understood that Emperor Chengzhen was not only unhappy, but he had no confidence at all. After all, if Princess Liu Zhu was really dead, then the corpse would never be delayed for so many days before getting married. Even if the sun was cold and the snow was flying, it would almost freeze the people outside into popsicles, and the corpse would still change after all. Therefore, Emperor Chengzhen could not be unworried.
Eunuch Cao lowered his head and smiled meaningfully in a place that Emperor Chengzhen could not see. Then, he took out the chess box made of green jade and placed the chessboard on it. Then he bowed and retreated to the side to serve.
Emperor Chengzhen bowed his head and started a chess game. He held a black piece in one hand and a white piece in the other, and fought with him. But after a while, he suddenly threw the chess piece "rat" all over the ground, looking at the ground with a mess and sneered: "Go and call Wang Lang!"
Wang Lang is the hospital envoy of the Imperial Hospital today. He is not very old, but he has many methods. He has climbed very fast recently and is now a hospital envoy.
"Yes." Eunuch Cao bowed and responded, but he felt more and more moved. The young Mrs. Pei, who was born in the Ye family, was so meticulous. She really planned every step of the way now. Just as if what happened at this moment had been demonstrated in her palm, there was no mistake at all.
He left the imperial study room, but did not directly summon Wang Lang, but asked his godson Cao Ruyi to quietly go to Yuanxi Palace.
After Wang Lang arrived at the imperial study room, he guarded the door, leaving only Wang Lang and Emperor Chengzhen to talk inside.
He did not want to eavesdrop on the content of their conversation between the thick doors for a long distance, because all this would not take long to be known to them.
Ye Kui had already thought that Wang Lang would have something to do, so they naturally found a way to contact Wang Lang when they were in contact with Eunuch Cao. Compared with Eunuch Cao, it was really easy to control Wang Lang in the palm of his hand.
So now, nothing has exceeded Ye Kui’s prediction.
Everything went very smoothly. But in fact, for Ye Kui, this matter was still not going smoothly. From the beginning, the method chosen by Emperor Chengzhen forced them to start another set of preparations. He wanted to hide the news of Princess Liuzhu's death, so of course they could not let him do what he wanted. So an opportunity was necessary to expose the matter in Yuanxi Palace.
An extreme method should not arouse suspicion, or even make people believe that Princess Liu Zhu really died.
There is only one way.
Ye Kui received news from the palace from time to time in the mansion, and sighed heavily while burning the notes.
If she sighed like this, she was afraid that she would become an old lady in a short time. Although she knew that it was a last resort in the morning, she still couldn't help but feel regretful when things were about to come. In fact, it wasn't that there was no other way, but time was too tight, so they could only do this.
She watched the notes instantly turn into ashes in the flower pot and began to count the days.
There are seven days left before the original marriage date.
But they had to make all preparations within four days, and they would start in seven days.
Life or death, it has been these few days.
She stroked her belly and sighed slightly. She calculated that in another month, she should have a child, "Qin Sang, what will happen to the world after you say things are done?"
Qin Sang didn't know what would happen. After a moment of silence, hesitated and replied: "Don't worry, the boat will naturally straighten when it reaches the bridge, and it will be fine in the end. We have made complete preparations and this matter can be accomplished. What else can't be accomplished in the future?"
"Yes..." Ye Kui said casually.
"It won't take long for the little master to be born. You should really listen to Master Jiu's more on this matter. Master Jiu is supporting the things around you."
"But Qin Sang, have you ever thought that when the thirteenth prince is young, the Pei family can help him to the throne, so naturally he can pull him off from that position."
"What do you mean?" Qin Sang was surprised when he heard this.
Ye Kui looked at the burning brazier thoughtfully and said, "Of course, the Pei family probably doesn't have the intention to ask for that chair. But Concubine Pei must be uneasy. After this, it's really bad that she can still trust the Pei family."
"No way?" Qin Sang was frightened and subconsciously exclaimed.
Ye Kui was a little absent-minded and shook her head and said, "Why can't you..."
She was clearly wrapped in thick clothes, but she still felt cold. Her eyes were fixed on the brazier, but a strong chill slowly surged in her bones. It was as if the burning brazier was not filled with charcoal fire, but ice, which was so cold that it made people feel cold.
Ye Kui said slowly: "Forget it, don't think about it anymore. Just pass the hurdle in front of you first."
When Qin Sang heard this, he finally let go of his heart a little, and naturally said, "You should think about what to eat tonight."
After speaking, the thick curtain at the door was knocked up. Pei Changge rushed in with snow all over his body, frightened Ye Kui and asked, "Why are you coming in now?" Maybe she was scared. After asking, she realized that something was wrong with her words, but for a moment she couldn't remember what to ask.
"It's okay, it's snowing outside, no one will notice it." Pei Changge untied the cloak of the squirrel's skin and threw it to Qin Sang, strode towards Ye Kui, frowned and said, "Autumn Nian has entered Beijing."
Ye Kui waved his hand and signaled him to bow his head.
Pei Changge bowed his head honestly, allowing Ye Kui to reach out and stroke the snow water on his black hair. His slender and white fingers brushed his hair. Ye Kui looked at his eyes that looked more and more like the cold ice floating, nodded and said, "Is it still going well?"
"Unexpectedly, I'm just waiting for the east wind to arrive, and the Pei family army is ready to go." Pei Changge grabbed her hand, squatted in front of her, and said slowly.
Ye Kui breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.
Sometimes she thought about it and felt that it was God who was helping them. Emperor Chengzhen had many secret guards around him, but Pei Changge was also one of them, and even led them for a while. So many things seemed easier.
In a few days, storm waves will arise in the palace.
To be continued...
