Emperor Ming froze on his stool with a pale face. He was the only one left in the huge palace at this moment!
He looked at the closed door, his heart filled with turmoil.
He never thought that Cang Qiao would treat him like this!
The most terrifying thing is that I am only now shocked to realize——
The lowly servants around him looked respectful, but in fact they no longer listened to his orders.
But Cang Qiao is following the lead!
The anger of being betrayed, the irritation of being threatened, the resentment of being under house arrest and - the fear of being emptied of power!
All this is like a tsunami and an abyss, trying to swallow him up!
Emperor Ming's eyes turned red, and he staggered to stand up and roar.
He was born noble and proud, and he had tried his best throughout his life, but he didn't want to fall into the hands of his confidants and the sharp sword he polished himself!
This made Emperor Ming's head, which was already in severe pain, almost explode.
He stumbled - he fell to the ground with a "thud", his head hit the carved red sandalwood chair inlaid with mother-of-pearl, and he fainted on the ground instantly.
The little eunuch who heard the noise outside the door glanced at the window and walked to his father-in-law: "Master Manager, Your Majesty has fainted."
He and the father-in-law said calmly: "Let the people from Tai Hospital come over."
The imperial hospital, which had been prepared in the side hall, came in with a medical kit, walked to Emperor Ming, and took his pulse.
The court official didn't seem to be surprised at all that the emperor fell to the ground with no one to help him.
He skillfully took out a silver needle to prick the emperor and gave him some medicine.
Afterwards, Yuan Zheng stood up and said: "Your Majesty's life is not in danger, mainly because of the headache caused by the pills he took before, and also some mental and physical exhaustion..."
"As long as you don't die, Your Majesty will concentrate on your cultivation these days, and I have to trouble Yuan Zheng to serve you in the palace."
I waved to my father-in-law.
Taiyuan nodded with a calm expression: "Working for the governor is a subordinate's duty."
Then several people left the inner hall, and no one planned to help the emperor who fell on the ground to bed.
In this way, Emperor Ming was woken up by the cold floor in the middle of the night.
It was already dark, there was only one dim light in the hall, and there was no one in the dark and empty hall.
He slept so hard that his whole body had a headache, and for a moment he was in a trance, thinking that he was in a nightmare.
But the next moment, the cold wind blew by, jolting him and recalling everything that happened during the day.
He reluctantly got up and went to knock on the door: "Come here, come here... you are the following guilty dog slaves..."
he shouted hoarsely and angrily.
The little eunuch's voice came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, are you awake? Your dinner is on the table, and the servants and others will not go in and disturb you."
Emperor Ming turned his head and saw a bowl of gruel and a small plate of pickles on the table by the dim candlelight.
This feeling of almost humiliation made him stagger and gasp as he rushed over and knocked over the food on the table.
He shouted angrily: "Asshole, I won't eat this kind of thing! Go call Lao He, no, call Cang Qiao to come see me!"
Listening to the sound of broken porcelain in the palace, the little eunuch outside the door continued to respectfully say——
"I told my father-in-law that since Your Majesty doesn't like food, he is going to practice fasting and become an immortal. The servants don't dare to disturb His Majesty. When will Your Majesty stop fasting, just tell the servants."
Emperor Ming was stunned and looked outside the door. The two young eunuchs guarding the door retreated.
He shook his body and rushed over, banging the door tremblingly with anger: "You bastards, you bastards who killed the nine tribes, open the door for me... I will execute all of you dog slaves to death!"
But the eunuchs ignored his roar and stood away indifferently.
…
The news spread that Emperor Ming suddenly fell ill and disappeared on the second day of his court.
Suddenly, the whole government and the public were in an uproar.
"Your Majesty, this is simply ridiculous. In order to protect Zhou Chen, that old man came up with this method."
"I can't help it. Zhou Chen is His Majesty's favorite. The other generals have lost all limbs and have retired to their hometowns long ago. How can he still go to court?"
"Hmph, let's see what regulations your Majesty and the guy from Dongchang can come up with..."
The courtiers gathered together in private and couldn't help but sigh.
The Zhou family and Prince Qin's Mansion were relieved when they heard the news.
Madam Zhou, Zhou Tongchen and others calmed down a little and kept contacting the tribe to see if they could secretly find out information from Dali Temple and kill people to eliminate evidence.
King Shangguan Hongye of Qin had mixed feelings. The Xiao family's affairs had finally been exposed. As a general and a prince, he did not agree with the actions of his father and uncle.
But no matter what, he is his uncle.
Although he has been canonized as a prince, the ceremony has not yet been held, and there is no golden seal book of the prince.
If something happens to his uncle who holds military power, it will not only be a stain on him, but it will also affect his future path to the throne of God.
Since his father claimed to be ill and could not go to court, perhaps he should meet with his father to discuss privately how to deal with the matter.
Shangguan Hongye changed his clothes and was about to enter the palace, but suddenly he remembered something and his movements slowed down.
"What's wrong, Your Majesty?" Zhou Xiangyun was squatting down to straighten the jade belt around his waist. Seeing that Shangguan Hongye suddenly didn't move, Zhou Xiangyun raised his head and asked strangely.
Shangguan Hongye lowered his head to look at this gentle and delicate woman, and suddenly chuckled: "A woman should be as gentle and gentle as you to please people, but I always think of another person."
Zhou Xiangyun was stunned, and suddenly said clearly: "Are you worried about Concubine Ming? That's right, she is the only person who has some blood relationship with the Xiao family now."
I don’t know what happened, but Shangguan Hongye, who always likes to visit Ming Concubine’s Mansion, has not been to Ming Concubine’s Mansion for a while.
Shangguan Hongye fell silent and touched Zhou Xiangyun's head: "She shouldn't think so much. When the Xiao family was destroyed and Mrs. Xiao Guanyin passed away, she was still young and her surname was Ming."
But this matter will definitely involve her.
My father had always disliked her being unruly and unruly just because of her good medical skills. After this incident, he was afraid that he would be even more angry with her and wanted to cut her into pieces.
When he promised to give her the position of Crown Princess, he knew he was impulsive.
But now, he has to figure out how to protect her first!
At this point, he is the only point where the interests of the eunuch Cang Qiao coincide.
Zhou Xiangyun stood up, nodded and said gently: "If the prince is willing, you can go and see Concubine Ming."
Shangguan Hongye paused and felt a little stuck in his heart. Last time he had an unhappy breakup at Concubine Ming's Mansion, and this time the situation was unclear.
He... really wanted to see her.
But I don't want to hear her cold words.
"Why, aren't you jealous? Your sister Zhou Changle was not like this back then. If she knew that I went to Concubine Ming's Mansion, she would have been making a fuss for a long time."
Shangguan Hongye suddenly felt something strange about the woman in front of him, and suddenly reached out to lift her chin.
