Chapter 55 Cutting Weeds and Exterminating Roots (1)
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, come here. Your Majesty has fainted. Go and call the imperial doctor." Seeing Gaozong vomiting blood and fainting, Cheng Dali was startled and immediately shouted desperately.
Fortunately, there were guards on duty everywhere outside the palace. When they heard that the emperor fainted in the palace, they hurriedly helped to help the emperor to the couch. At the same time, some people rushed to summon the imperial doctor and inform the queen, prince and others.
A moment later, Empress Wu, the Prince and others all rushed to the palace. Qin Minghe, the doctor at the Fashion Pharmacy, also hurried over after hearing the news. After a simple salute, he immediately started diagnosing and treating Gaozong's condition.
After a while of burning incense, I saw Qin Minghe frowning and remaining silent.
"Doctor Qin, how is His Majesty's condition?" Seeing Qin Minghe's appearance, Empress Wu couldn't help but her heart sank, but she still asked.
Qin Minghe sighed softly and said: "Reporting to the queen, your majesty is so sad that her anger has accumulated in her body, causing her to faint. It is not difficult to do this. As long as you use medicinal bait and rest peacefully, you can recover. It's just that
,only……"
"It's just a question. Just say it, don't hesitate." Empress Wu was impatient when she heard this and said with a cold face.
"No, it's just that this disease originates from the heart. If you want to eradicate it, you need heart medicine to cure it. Now your Majesty is sad and urgently needs a happy event. Only in this way can water and fire be reconciled. Otherwise, once the anger is stagnated,
Internally, the humble minister may cause His Majesty to suffer from a serious illness. At that time, even the Great Luo Jinxian will not be able to restore His Majesty's dragon body."
"Bold!" When Empress Wu saw what the other party said, she couldn't help but get angry. The doctor was so shocked that he quickly kowtowed and confessed. However, Empress Wu also knew that what the doctor said was true, so she didn't blame him. She thought for a while and then said: "
I just don’t know what happy events can be arranged for Your Majesty at this time.”
At this moment, a maid in the Korean lady's palace suddenly reported: "I am going to report to you, the Queen, that I have a happy event to report."
But I heard Empress Wu say angrily: "The master of your family has just died, and you actually look happy and talk about something happy. It's really hateful. If someone comes, drag me down with you and kill you with a stick."
"Ah? My Majesty, please spare my life. This slave is really blessed with good news. Please allow me to finish my sentence. My master has come back to life..."
"Wait a minute." Seeing this, Li Xian on the side quickly stopped the chamberlain who was about to execute him. He hurriedly came to Empress Wu, bowed and said: "Mother, this little slave is lying about the resurrection of my aunt. I don't know whether it is true or not. Why don't we let the child
I'm going to visit him. If it's false, it won't be too late to kill this dog slave with a stick. If it's true, wouldn't it be a happy event? Isn't it a good opportunity for the Holy One to alleviate his condition because of this?"
"Yes, mother, what the sixth brother said is true. If my aunt really comes back to life, wouldn't it be a great joy? I believe that if the Holy Spirit finds out, he will definitely relieve his heartache, and the condition will be greatly alleviated. It is not even known whether she will even fully recover.
I hope mother will allow this slave to live for a while and investigate clearly."
Prince Li Hong naturally didn't want anything to go wrong with the emperor, otherwise it would be difficult for him to compete with Empress Wu with his current strength, so he naturally hoped that what the maid said was true, which would give the emperor a shot in the arm.
As a result, the emperor's condition was relieved and even recovered.
Seeing that both brothers stood up, Li Xian slowly stood up and repeated what the two brothers said.
Although it is also a repetition, it does not mean that Li Xian's concern for Gaozong lags behind that of Li Hong and Li Xian.
In fact, Li Xian was the same beneficiary in this incident as Empress Wu, but the understanding between the two parties was different. Empress Wu believed that she had eliminated He Lan Minyue and the threat to herself, and at the same time eliminated Wu Weiliang and Wu Weiliang.
The two troublemakers Wu Huaiyun also made Gaozong fall ill, and he could use this as an excuse to seize power. It could be said that he killed three birds with one stone.
Li Xian's profit was the mantis catching the cicada but the oriole behind, because he took a longer view and tried to use this as an opportunity to catch all the Wu family's descendants in order to cut off the future wings of Empress Wu, and he had already done it in advance
After careful preparation, I believe that these Wu family disciples in custody this time will definitely be doomed, and it is even possible to eradicate all Wu family children. In addition, he has also successfully obtained an important piece of evidence, which he believes can be used to testify at any time in the future.
Empress Wu murdered Helan Minyue, the wife of Wei State.
This cannot but be blamed on Li Xian for being suspicious and cunning. It is really because he knows Empress Wu very well. If there is no conflict in interests, she can play the role of a good wife and mother. But once her interests are threatened to a certain extent,
They will definitely take action to contain or even strangle them without hesitation.
Mrs. Wei is undoubtedly a typical example. Although there was Li Xian's help, the leader was still Empress Wu, because the poisoner was from Empress Wu, and it was she who stimulated He Lan Minyue to taste the dishes, and these two
Point is the key that led to Helan Minyue being poisoned to death.
Of course, it cannot be said that Li Xian does not have to bear any responsibility. At least without his help, Helan Minyue might not have died so quickly. It is precisely because of this that Li Xian feels guilty in his heart.
Only then did he secretly order his spies in Lady Korea's palace to pay attention to Lady Korea's movements at all times. It was precisely for this reason that Lady Korea was discovered in time after she committed suicide, and was finally pulled back from the hands of death.
The reason why Li Xian did this was actually not only because of guilt, but also for another purpose, which was to give the heartbroken Gaozong a little comfort. He believed that as long as Gaozong cheered up a little, he would not lose his power.
Leave it completely to Empress Wu.
Of course, Empress Wu had no idea about Li Xian's meticulous arrangements. Even when she heard that the Korean lady's slaves in the palace had rescued him, she didn't think much about it. She just thought that the slaves in the palace rescued him on their own, or maybe just
I think Korean ladies are lucky, and I feel a little regretful.
Although she felt regretful, because all her three sons wanted to send people to see if Mrs. Han had really been saved, and because it would be beneficial to Gaozong's condition, they naturally had to agree. At the same time, she also knew that this was the case.
At that time, it was unrealistic to send out his henchmen to deal with the resurrected Korean lady secretly, so she had no choice but to agree to the disciples' request and ordered Li Xian and Li Xian to go together to visit Madam Wei in her palace.
Li Xian is trying his best to hide himself, especially in front of Empress Wu. He does not take the initiative to take on anything. On the surface, he seems to be agreeing with others. He is just making a fortune secretly and quietly making a fortune. This time Empress Wu
Ordering Li Xian to visit the Korean wife with him was in line with his usual style, so he was happy that Li Xian took the lead and he was just an inconspicuous foil.
Following Li Xian's footsteps, Li Xian came to Mrs. Korea's palace. Although Wu Shun was awake, his eyes were dull and his spirit was in a trance. He had no look at his former self. He sighed on the lips and felt guilty in his heart.
"Auntie, what's wrong with you? You have to show your condolences. Xian'er has already lost her sister, and I can't lose you again." Looking at the Korean lady in front of him, Li Xian, who had a deep relationship with her since childhood, couldn't help but shed tears.
With a full face, he murmured.
But I heard Wu Shun murmur: "Why don't you let me die? Why don't you let me accompany Yue'er? I want to see my Yue'er. She is alone. She will definitely be scared under Jiuquan.
I want to go down and accompany her."
"Aunt, aunt, please calm down. I am Xian'er. Although sister Yue'er is gone, you still have a cousin. You still have Xian'er. Although I am just your nephew, I will definitely be like Yue'er in the future.
My sister and my cousin did that to you." Seeing Wu Shun's expression of wanting to die, Li Xian couldn't help but feel heartbroken, and hurriedly swallowed his words.
"Xian'er, I know that you have always been very kind to me, but I can no longer take care of you because I have to go down to take care of Yue'er. You have relatives to take care of you, but Yue'er has only herself..."
When the Korean lady said this, her face was already filled with tears, and she couldn't speak any more.
Seeing the expressions of the two of them, Li Xian also felt quite sad. He sighed softly, then came to Wu Shun's side and persuaded him softly: "Auntie, please forgive me. The deceased is gone.
My sister has passed away, and it is useless for us to feel pain. Instead of hurting the past, it is better to cherish the present and cherish those who are still alive..."
Unexpectedly, before Li Xian finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Xian: "Go away! There is no need for you to be pretentious here. I know that you are sent by the queen to monitor me, but I still regard my aunt as a relative.
What can you do to me? If you have the ability, go and report me, and let them put me to death, so that you can satisfy your mother and son's wishes."
"This, this, I think my brother has misunderstood. I didn't mean this. Humans are not grass and trees, how can we be ruthless? Although my aunt is not my biological mother, she is connected with her by flesh and blood. When I see my aunt so sad, I feel sad in my heart. It's just
Just a few words of enlightenment, nothing else."
"Hey, I don't have any other intentions! How come I don't know that you are such a cunning person? You have been favored by your parents since childhood and have nothing to do with your aunt or sister. Why are you so kind and come to enlighten your aunt? You just saw that your aunt was lost.
My dear daughter, I just came here to watch my aunt’s joke." Li Xian has been less loved by Empress Wu since he was a child, so he has always been full of jealousy towards Li Xian. Fortunately, he has received a good education freely, so he can restrain his heart. But today
Because he was sad for Wu Shun and Helan Minyue, he spoke out in a hurry and yelled at Li Xian loudly.
"Brother, why did you say this? I really didn't mean anything." Li Xian saw that Li Xian was gradually losing his mind and was unwilling to argue with him anymore. He just argued in a low voice and weakly.
"What does it mean to have no other intentions? Your intentions are obvious, and my eyes are as clear as fire. You need to hide it. Get out of here quickly, otherwise I will definitely not be polite."
Li Xian shouted and scolded Li Xian, but he was still angry. He rolled up his sleeves and was about to make a move, but Wu Shun shouted: "Xian'er, stop it."
