Chapter 229 Taming the Ming Dynasty

In the palace of Liangyi Hall, the pale-faced Gaozong lay on the wooden couch, covered with a thick brocade blanket on a hot day, but even so, he still cried out from time to time to feel cold, and his not strong body shivered.

Like chaff, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat as big as soybeans. His painful appearance was obviously a relapse of his old illness. All the servants in the room were frightened, but no one dared to come forward to help him, just because of the admonishment of a Taoist robe.

Ming Chongyan, the court official, stood beside the couch with a solemn expression, mumbling something to himself, as if he was preparing for some extremely mysterious ceremony. No one dared to talk nonsense at this time, they could only stare eagerly.

Looking at Gaozong who was groaning.

"Ah!"

After brewing for a long time, Ming Chongyan suddenly gave a soft drink. He raised his right hand and pointed it like a sword. In a flash, dozens of finger shadows were transformed. In just a moment, dozens of Gaozong's acupuncture points were touched.

Starting from the tail vertebrae on the back, all the way to the Baihui point, I heard Gaozong let out an extremely comfortable moan[]

Yin, the whole person shrank first, and then relaxed again. After letting out a long breath of air, he actually fell asleep peacefully.

"call……"

Ming Chongyan exhaled heavily, and as soon as he breathed out, the sweat all over his body burst out in an instant. In just a moment, his clothes were soaked with sweat, and his handsome and enchanting face showed extreme exhaustion.

With a look on his face, he didn't even bother to wipe off his sweat, so he called a chamberlain to his side and gave some instructions in a low voice. Then he flicked his sleeves and walked out of the palace. His image of a master made all the chamberlains stand by him.

Everyone was heartbroken, but no one dared to say a word - Whenever Emperor Gaozong became ill, his temper would become violent, and he would punish everyone around him severely. Many people died because of it, but Ming Chongyan could cure it.

It is no exaggeration to say that Emperor Gaozong was a great benefactor to all his attendants, and no one dared not to respect him.

"Ming Ai, is your Majesty well?"

As soon as Ming Chongyan and his party left the palace, Empress Wu, who had already led a group of palace maids waiting outside, immediately came to greet him. Without waiting for Ming Chongyan to salute, he immediately asked a question.

"As soon as I get back to the Queen, Your Majesty is already asleep and will not do it again in a few months."

Ming Chongyan could act like a master in front of his attendants, but he did not dare to be rude in front of Empress Wu. He hurriedly bowed and answered with great respect.

"Oh, that's good. Thank you for your help." Upon hearing that Gaozong was asleep, Empress Wu was obviously relieved. She pondered for a moment, waved her hand, and signaled the palace ladies following her to step back, and then looked at Ming Ming.

Chongyan glanced at him and said, "I love you, please come with me."

"Yes, I obey the order."

Ming Chongyan didn't understand what Empress Wu's intention was, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He could only respond respectfully and followed Empress Wu neatly into the study not far away.

"Chongyan, can your Majesty's disease be cured?"

Empress Wu walked straight to the back of the desk and sat down, looking at Ming Chongyan solemnly for a while, and then asked softly.

"If you want to reply to your mother-in-law, I can only do my best."

Upon hearing Empress Wu calling him by his name, Ming Chongyan couldn't help but tremble slightly. He didn't dare to raise his head to look at Empress Wu's face. He lowered his head and answered with a slight stutter.

"I know this, well, then I can only worry about it, Lao Chongyan."

Empress Wu didn't seem to care about Ming Chongyan's panic. She sighed and said nothing.

"Wei Chen will do his best!"

Ming Chongyan is well aware of his own affairs - whether it is this time or the previous two treatments, those nagging rituals are actually just mysteries. To be honest, they are of no use at all. What really works is to use internal force to forcibly unblock Gaozong's congested brain meridians are just a symptom, not the root cause. What's more, because Gaozong's meridians have been sluggish all year round, if he tries to force himself to get rid of them, he may end up drinking poison to quench his thirst. Gaozong's health would only get worse and worse, and he might even become a crazy person. Ming Chongyan knew this in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.

"Well, Chongyan has always been honest, and I can trust this." Empress Wu seemed to be very satisfied with Ming Chongyan's statement, and nodded kindly and praised him.

"This humble minister is so talented that I really don't dare to take credit for it."

Ming Chongyan was obviously not used to Empress Wu calling him by his first name, but he did not dare to show any dissatisfaction and could only respond humbly.

"Is it a duty? Since ancient times, duty has been the most rare. It is indeed our duty to share the worries of the Holy One. So, yesterday, the divination that Ai Qing made for the King of England yesterday is also our duty?" Empress Wu said with profound meaning. He glanced at Ming Chongyan, changed the topic suddenly, and asked quietly.

"Empress, Weichen, Weichen..."

As soon as Empress Wu said this, Ming Chongyan's body suddenly froze, and he wanted to defend himself. However, when he saw Empress Wu's penetrating eyes, Ming Chongyan immediately lost the courage to lie, and his face turned "shua". He turned pale, shivered a few times, and slowly knelt down on the ground. For a moment, his mind was so blank that he didn't know what he was talking about.

"Have you been stunned by the girl from the Zhao family, huh? You are so brave, you dare to lie to your Majesty, are you really not afraid of death?" Empress Wu stared at Ming Chongyan with cold eyes, and scolded her in a conspiratorial manner. road.

"Weichen deserves death, Weichen deserves death!"

Ming Chongyan knew that his thoughts were completely under the control of Empress Wu. At this moment, he did not dare to forcefully defend himself, but could only kowtow and beg for mercy.

"Hmph, for the sake of a mere yellow-haired girl, you dare to go so far and ask me to tell you what you are good at. Is that girl from the Zhao family really so charming, huh?" Empress Wu did not save any face for Ming Chongyan and asked relentlessly. Yes, but these words sounded like the words of a jealous lover scolding Ai Lang.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I was confused for a moment and let down all your hard work. I won't dare to do it again. Please forgive me."

Although Ming Chongyan has always been aloof and self-respecting, because of his appearance, he has always been surrounded by admirers, and his knowledge in love affairs is not bad. This time that Empress Tingwu asked such a question, she couldn't help but be shocked. Startled, he secretly glanced at Empress Wu's face, and saw that it was just as he thought. His heartstrings trembled involuntarily, and he didn't dare to look again. He lowered his head in a hurry and hissed. Sin comes.

"That's it, I'm fine. I don't bother to argue with you. Well, next time, let's see how I deal with you!"

Looking at Ming Chongyan's unparalleledly handsome face, Empress Wu couldn't help but blush slightly, but soon returned to normal, and scolded her in a covert manner, which was regarded as revealing the matter. Typical Gao Gao Lift it up and put it down gently.

"I don't dare, but I must remember your empress's words."

As long as he could escape the catastrophe, Ming Chongyan didn't care whether he was noble or not. After kowtowing, he quickly stood up and stood aside with his hands down in a humble manner.

"I heard that the Ministry of Rites has selected a candidate. It is said that Pei Lingling, the daughter of Zuo Jinwu Guard General Pei Judao, is very noble. She is very compatible with the prince. She is a match made in heaven. What does Chongyan think about this?" Empress Wu seems to have already decided. No longer caring about Ming Chongyan's deception of the emperor, the conversation changed again to the prince's marriage.

"This..., please forgive me for speaking frankly, I'm afraid there is something fishy about this." Ming Chongyan was uneasy and didn't want to cause more trouble, but when he saw Wu Hou Xu's eyes, he changed his mind. After pondering for a moment, he came up with a somewhat horrifying inference.

"Oh? How do you say this?" Empress Wu did not comment on Ming Chongyan's inference, but smiled encouragingly, and then asked.

"My Majesty is aware that I think the efficiency of the Ministry of Rites is too high this time. I have never seen those dirty officials working so hard in the past. Furthermore, General Pei has always been close to your Majesty and does not seem to get along well with the Crown Prince. The Ministry of Rites The other person actually proposed that his daughter should be the crown princess. If there is no ulterior motive, I'm afraid it's hard to explain." Now that he had grown up, Ming Chongyan simply expressed his thoughts and concerns.

"Well, in your opinion, who did this and what was his intention?" Empress Wu nodded calmly, and then asked another question.

"I don't dare to judge who is the mastermind. However, the intention is just four words - killing people with a borrowed knife!" Ming Chongyan originally wanted to say that Li Xian was the mastermind of this matter, but when the words came to his lips, he hesitated again. After all, His previous plot to plot against Zhao Qiong was already a mortal enemy of Li Xian. Now that he directly mentioned Li Xian's name, there was no guarantee that Empress Wu would not regard it as a threat to retaliate. The intention was very clear, and he vaguely pointed the finger at Li Xian.

"Killing someone with a borrowed knife? Haha, Chongyan was only half right. It would be more appropriate to say 'Bianzhuang stabbed the tiger'." Empress Wu obviously had a far deeper view than Ming Chongyan, and she shook her head lightly, looking casual. He said something to correct him.

"Ah, this..."

Ming Chongyan seemed to be highly valued by Empress Wu. He was an unusual person. After thinking about it for a moment, he suddenly broke out in sweat. He hesitated and didn't know what to say.

"In your opinion, how should I respond?"

Seeing that Ming Chongyan could understand the seriousness of the situation so quickly, the admiration in Empress Wu's eyes suddenly became stronger. She smiled slightly, stood up, and walked slowly to Ming Chongyan's body. He asked with a faint smile.

This question was obviously not easy to answer. Even though Ming Chongyan was extremely smart, he did not dare to give an answer easily for a while. He frowned involuntarily. After thinking silently for a long time, he became extremely cautious. He replied: "This is a serious matter, and I don't dare to speak nonsense. Maybe it is a good idea to make a plan."

"Well, the one who knows my heart is Chongyan, I..." Empress Wu obviously admired Ming Chongyan's strategy very much. She smiled and raised her hand to give a high-five to show her praise. However, perhaps accidentally, she raised her hand. At that moment, he caught the water sleeve, and his body instantly lost his balance. With a cry of surprise, he fell onto Ming Chongyan.

"Mother, empress, weichen, weichen..."

With Ming Chongyan's skill, it was easy to avoid Empress Wu's "thrown into her arms". Even if he had to hold Empress Wu's arm, it would not be difficult. However, Ming Chongyan did not move and let Empress Wu do it.

As soon as he fell, he fell into his arms. Feeling the amazing elasticity from Empress Wu's body, Ming Chongyan's body froze instantly and he stammered, not knowing what he was saying. However, Empress Wu seemed not to hear Ming Chongyan.

The muttering sound was just softly nestled on Ming Chongyan's chest. For a moment, silence was better than sound...
