All the ministers respectfully sent Cang Qiao off and waited for him to go away.
One of the Yuanwailang suddenly sighed: "Chitose Master handles political affairs in a much more orderly manner than His Majesty."
"Shut up, what kind of place is this? You're trying to kill yourself." Another member of the staff lowered his voice.
The Minister of Household Affairs shook his head: "Forget it, these words will not reach His Majesty's ears. The weather has been abnormal in the past few years, especially from the end of last year to now, but Your Majesty doesn't care at all and leaves it all to Master Qiantose."
Fortunately, although Cang Qiao was cruel and a cruel eunuch, he was an extremely capable person and knew everything about the affairs of the court.
Only then did the empire manage to remain in Northern Mongolia and look like a prosperous age after the death of Marshal Xiao.
Even if this dynasty is ruined on the inside, it is still golden on the outside.
The Minister of Hubu is the one who deposed the prince. Now His Majesty has announced that the prince is seriously ill and has died. He knows that King Qin has become the prince and sooner or later he will be liquidated. Now he is a monk for one day and the clock is ticking for one day.
He guessed that after King Qin ascended the throne, Cang Qiao would not end up with a good end, but he would have the same problem as Cang Qiao.
Everyone in the household was silent in response.
Cang Qiao walked out of the door and suddenly asked Lao He: "It's been more than half a month, why did your Majesty suddenly think about it today?"
Lao He smiled slightly: "Your Majesty said that he figured it out during his practice. The governor is right, Zhou Chen should be killed!"
Cang Qiao narrowed her slender eyes slightly, rubbed the jade beads in her hand, and whispered: "Ah, our Majesty is not someone who gives in easily."
"The governor had someone cut off your majesty's elixir. Naturally, your majesty couldn't bear it." Lao He smiled.
Cang Qiao chuckled: "Yes, the elixir was prepared for His Majesty, but he is quite capable, and he was able to wait until the elixir was gone before he gave in."
The elixir contains special "good things" that Silver Fox brought back from overseas in the Western Regions.
It is said that the thing is extremely beautiful when it blooms, but the black paste made from the fruit is more terrifying and addictive than Wu Shi Powder.
It is a "treasure" that no one in the Central Plains knows about and that is not recorded in the classics.
It is most suitable to be used to make elixirs to serve His Majesty.
Hearing this, Lao He sighed: "Your Majesty is indeed a prince who held military power and was famous in the border areas. No wonder the benevolent late emperor could not defeat him."
Cang Qiao smiled sarcastically: "The late emperor's benevolence would not have pushed his beloved concubine and son out to save their lives. He is just a weak, incompetent and hypocritical piece of shit."
Lao He remained silent and did not speak. The late emperor was considered his former master.
Cang Qiao put her hands into her sleeves with a calm expression: "Let's go, let's see what His Majesty wants to say."
Arrive at the palace where Emperor Ming practiced cultivation.
"Master Chitose."
When the young eunuch and doctor at the door saw him coming, they all bowed respectfully.
"Get back on your feet." Cang Qiao raised his hand and asked the doctor with concern: "I wonder how your majesty's practice has been lately?"
The doctor simply whispered a few words into Cang Qiao's ear, and he knew what was going on.
He nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."
Then, the little eunuchs stepped forward and opened the door with a "whoosh", and cold wind instantly poured into the room.
Cang Qiao followed and walked in.
The smell in the inner temple is pretty good, and there are people cleaning the room and even burning incense all the time.
But on the soft couch in the inner hall, there was a hunched figure curled up. His originally black hair was messy, and many messy white hairs had grown out.
The dragon robe he wore was already wrinkled and smelly. If it weren't for the five-clawed golden dragon embroidered on it, he wouldn't look like an emperor.
Rather, he looked like an old beggar casually pulling up a yellow cloth to keep warm in the street.
"I see your Majesty." Upon seeing this, Cang Qiao's eyes flashed with a cold and malicious light, and he bowed slightly and saluted.
Hearing Cang Qiao's voice, the hunched figure on the soft couch immediately trembled and propped up his body.
"Cang Qiao? Cang Qiao...is that you?" Emperor Ming's voice seemed to contain a mouthful of phlegm and was muddy.
Cang Qiao remembered what Yi Zheng had told him. These days Emperor Ming was wrapped in a thin blanket wherever he went, and the wind and cold kept coming and going.
Sometimes I also have a fever and the whole person is miserable.
He casually sat down on the Eight Immortals chair brought by the eunuchs on one side: "This is your Majesty."
Emperor Ming was so overjoyed that he almost staggered and fell off the soft couch, and then he was so embarrassed that he rushed over to grab Cang Qiao's sleeves.
"Aiqing...Aiqing, you are finally here, I...I am looking forward to you!"
But before he touched Cang Qiong's clothes, his arms were already held by two little eunuchs.
"Your Majesty, please calm down." Mr. Qiantose is such a particular person. Your Majesty is dirty and smelly. How can you touch me?
When Emperor Ming was being held up, he shouted hoarsely and instinctively: "You are so outrageous, you dog slaves!"
Cang Qiao smelled the sour smell on Emperor Ming's body, and he casually covered the tip of his nose with a handkerchief——
"I look at His Majesty's appearance. He is becoming more and more majestic. He is about to transform into an immortal."
Emperor Ming froze, a cold light flashed in his hazy eyes, then lowered his head and closed his eyes, his voice hoarse and low.
"My dear, I...I need the elixir...I know that I was old and confused at that time!"
Cang Qiao looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile: "Oh, how can your Majesty be so old and stupid? Your Majesty is the most sober person."
Emperor Ming endured the murderous intention and anger in his heart, looked depressed, and mumbled -
"I understand that my love for you is all for my own good... Zhou Chen, that old man Zhou Chen really deserves to be killed! I will issue an order to kill him when I get out!"
Cang Qiao asked calmly: "When did His Majesty interrupt and on what occasion did he issue the order?"
"My dear, when do you want me to issue an edict?" Emperor Ming asked cautiously.
Cang Qiao thought for a while and then said with a smile: "It will be December 15th in three days, and it will be the Great Court Meeting again. Your Majesty will issue an order to kill Zhou Chen to vent his anger."
Emperor Ming was stunned. Cang Qiao dared to choose him to go to court?
He thought Cang Qiao wanted to put him under house arrest in the harem.
Isn't Cang Qiao afraid that he will expose his true colors as a treasonous and disobedient criminal in front of all the civil and military officials?
Seeing Emperor Ming looking at her blankly, Cang Qiao raised her eyebrows slightly: "Why, isn't His Majesty your favorite minister? Is he unwilling to deal with Zhou Chen in front of all the officials?"
When Emperor Ming met his cold eyes, he suddenly became excited——
"No, no, no, of course not. To deal with Zhou Chen at the great court meeting, we must deal with that old man in front of the civil and military officials of the court and kill him as a warning to others!"
These days, although no one dares to beat or scold him, he suffers from hunger and cold every day.
The first time he tried it, he found out how uncomfortable it was to be hungry, and he almost wanted to eat those potted plants.
He can't take a shower, see anyone, cover himself with a quilt, and even won't give him any pills!
He had never thought that he, a high-ranking emperor, would be tortured in his own palace and reduced to the level of a beggar!
All of this made him almost crazy and unbearable! He didn't want to be locked up in this nightmare hell again!
Cang Qiao looked at Emperor Ming and suddenly smiled: "Your Majesty seems to have really awakened. Sure enough, cultivating immortality is very beneficial to Your Majesty."
Emperor Ming said reluctantly and against his will: "What Aiqing said is right. Now I know that Aiqing is for my own good!"
After saying that, he asked carefully: "Can I go out now?"
