Chapter 144: The Prosperous Era of Zhaoxuan (Nine)

"Sister come to pay homage to the general."

Zhu Shang was waiting outside the General's Mansion.

He is the Yeting Huwei, a small official with a total of 200 stones. He has been a Yeting Huwei for many years and has never been promoted.

Now I am almost old, and I think it will be too late to get promoted again, so I came to pay tribute to the most powerful general Huo Guang, who is now, and wanted to hold Huo Guang's thigh.

But how could Huo Guang see him a small official of two hundred stones? So a small official in the General's Mansion directly stopped him and said to him: "The General is not here, please come back."

"Uh..." Zhu Shang was a little helpless. He saw the general return home with his own eyes, so he came to pay a visit at this time. The answer from the minor official clearly was that the general was not interested in paying attention to him.

When he returned home, he saw his wife Chunyu Yan collecting medicinal materials. So Zhu Shang asked curiously: "What's wrong?"

"The queen has been pregnant for more than nine months, and now she is at the most critical moment. I bring some medicinal herbs in to take care of the queen." His wife Chunyu Yan answered truthfully.

Chunyu Yan was a female doctor in the palace and was previously under the control of Wang Ling, the chief medicine chief of the central palace.

But her boss Wang Ling was promoted to the Minister of the Central Palace, but she was still a female doctor in the palace.

"What are you doing with dejectedness? Have you seen the general?" Seeing her husband's decadent appearance, Chunyu Yan couldn't help asking.

"The general has no time to pay attention to me, a little man." Zhu Shang shook his head, as if he had accepted his fate.

"I'm going to the palace." Chunyu Yan said.

"Go early and go back early." Zhu Shang looked out the window in a daze.

...

Huo Family

"What female doctors are there for treating the queen?" Mrs. Huo asked the slave.

"There are four, namely Li Yue, Wei Yao, Dongfang Lan, and Chunyu Yan." The slave replied.

"Have you found out the situation of these four people clearly?" Mrs. Huo asked again.

"I've found out clearly." The slave replied, and then reported the information of the four female doctors.

In the slave's report, every female doctor has some places to use, but relatively speaking, Chunyu Yan's best use, because Chunyu Yan's husband just went to the General's Mansion this morning, which shows that he had something to ask for the Huo family.

This is a point worth taking advantage of.

So the Huo family's wife Xian ordered to the slave: "Find an opportunity to make an appointment with Chunyu Yan."

"No." The slave said respectfully.

...

Four days later

Chunyu Yan collected some medicinal materials again and prepared to go to the palace to take care of the queen.

Several of them worked in two shifts, taking turns to take care of Queen Xu Pingjun.

But as soon as she went out, she found the Huo slaves blocking the door.

"Female doctor Chun Yu Yan, can you speak with one step?" said the slave of the Huo family.

"???" Chun Yu Yan was a little confused, but he still followed the Huo family's servants to a secret place.

I saw that the Huo family had been waiting for a long time.

"Chun Yu Yan has met his wife." Chun Yu Yan knew that the other party was the wife of the Huo family and had a noble status, so he quickly bowed.

"Your husband is called Zhu Shang?" Mrs. Huo went straight to the topic.

"Yes." Chunyu Yan replied truthfully.

"He wants to be promoted?" The Huo family's wife smiled slightly.

"Yes." Chunyu Yan didn't understand what Mrs. Huo asked about these things.

"I can give him this opportunity." Mrs. Huo said temptingly.

"Uh?" Chunyu Yan was very confused and asked, "Madam, what do you mean?"

"I mean..."

Afterwards, Mrs. Huo revealed her plans.

"No, poison the queen, Your Majesty will pursue it, and I will die." After hearing the plan of the Huo family, Chunyu Yan was very scared.

"Chronic poisons don't die after drinking them. They have to die after drinking them after drinking them. So many female doctors have come into contact with the queen, and many palace maids have come into contact with the queen. Who can know that it was the poison you gave?" The wife of the Huo family laughed cunningly.

After hesitating for a long time, Chunyu Yan agreed.

If you don't agree, you may be killed by the Huo family's servants. Even if you report it to the emperor, the emperor will not be able to punish the Huo family. After all, everyone knows that the emperor is just a puppet. At that time, the Huo family's wife will definitely kill her to vent her anger.

Faced with the coercion and inducement of the Huo family, Chunyu Yan had no choice.

If you poison it, you will die for one lifetime. If you don’t poison it, you will die for ten deaths. It is relatively better to poison it.

Pepper Room Hall

"Ahem~"

Queen Xu Pingjun kept coughing. She had just given birth and was very weak.

"Queen, it's time to take medicine."

Female doctor Chun Yu Yan personally fed the medicine to Queen Xu Pingjun.

Before feeding the medicine, as usual, Chunyu Yan took a sip on himself and indicated that there was no problem.

Then, he changed another spoon to feed the queen medicine so that his saliva would not make the queen disgusted.

However, the moment he changed the spoon, Chunyu Yan had secretly sprinkled the poison powder on the spoon, and then stirred the medicine soup with this spoon.

Queen Xu Pingjun did not notice the small movements Chunyu Yan had just made. She was too weak and had been in a semi-coma.

Scream~

"Ahem!"

After Xu Pingjun took the medicine soup, his cough became more serious.

...

at night

"Ahem!"

The queen's cough continued to worsen, and she coughed up blood and phlegm after mouthful of blood.

The female doctor and the palace maids were panicked and didn't know what to do.

Chunyu Yan looked at the queen who was getting worse and worse, and felt very nervous. The queen was too weak.

Most people drink those poisons and it will take two days to die, but the queen feels that she may die tonight.

If this is the case, Chunyu Yan's suspicion is too great.

"I've been sick-"

At the last moment of life, Empress Xu Pingjun shouted the emperor's name.

"Queen!"

The female doctors were extremely frightened. If the queen died, how could they break off their relationship?

In the end, Queen Xu Pingjun died of breath while breathing rapidly.

Seeing the queen die on the spot, the palace was silent and no one dared to speak.

Finally, a palace maid ran out to report the matter to the emperor.

Soon after, the sound of rapid footsteps sounded outside the palace.

Dada dada--

"Pingjun!"

Before the person arrives, the sound arrives first, which shows how anxious the person is.

Emperor Liu Bingyi came to the Jiaofang Hall and walked to Xu Pingjun, feeling anxious: "Pingjun, wake up!"

However, the queen did not react at all.

"Pingjun!!!"

After confirming that Empress Xu Pingjun was indeed dead, Emperor Liu Bingyi could no longer suppress his anger and glared at the many palace maids and female doctors present: "What the hell is going on?!"

Everyone dared not speak, and they were trembling all over.

The person involved, Chunyu Yan, swallowed his saliva, was particularly scared.
