Hearing Yun Yun's gurgling cries, Zhao Dezhu suddenly became happy and said to himself that the 'young master' that Concubine Yun called was definitely the emperor. Although Concubine Yun was not poisoned this time, it would not be a bad thing to poison the emperor indirectly.
What's more, this is what the regent has always dreamed of. The little emperor has no children. As long as he dies, the regent can naturally inherit the throne. When the time comes, hehe, then I will no longer be a great hero beside the emperor.
The more this guy thought about it, the more proud he became. He immediately turned around and walked towards Yunyun's room with five of his men.
"Squeak", the door was pushed open, Zhao Dezhu and others stopped and saw Shao Yan lying motionless on the bed from a distance, his eyes closed, his face sallow, his hands spread out on the bed in a big letter shape, his expression looked very painful.
As if he had just experienced a death struggle
Seeing that the person dying on the bed was the emperor, Zhao Dezhu felt very proud, thinking that now he could go to the Prince Regent to claim credit.
At this moment, Yun Yun was lying on Shao Yan and crying vigorously. Suddenly he heard that Zhao Dezhu had come behind him. He wiped away two lines of hot tears and sobbed: "Young Master, I shouldn't have let you drink that cup of tea. It was Yun Yun who caused this."
You, Yunyun deserves death. You are waiting for Yunyun on the road to hell. Yunyun will come over and accompany you." After saying that, she quickly pulled out the sword and put it on her neck, pretending to die for love.
"Dead people cannot be resurrected. Madam Yun Yun, please express your condolences." Zhao Dezhu ran over and pulled away Yun Yun's sword-holding hand. This guy was not very smart, but he was not stupid either. In his opinion, the death of the emperor was certainly a good thing.
, but if Concubine Yun also dies, others will definitely quickly suspect her.
Yunyun turned around, pretending to be surprised and said: "Commander Zhao? Why are you here?"
"This -" Zhao Dezhu frowned, unable to answer. He quickly moved his eyes to Shao Yan on the bed, suddenly knelt down beside the bed, and said with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, my subordinates' rescue was late.
The subordinates are the culprits..." After crying for a while, he added: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely bring the murderer who poisoned you to justice to comfort your soul in heaven."
Damn, this guy is really good at pretending. Damn, he is so good at acting. It would be a pity not to become an actor. Shao Yan felt happy in his heart. When it comes to acting, it seems that Yun Yun's acting skills are even better. It doesn't look like him at all.
Just pretending, hee hee, this girl performed well today. After defeating Guo Wei, I will definitely reward her. This boy is a born bad boy, and he will always only have one kind of 'reward' for women.
Seeing that Zhao Dezhu couldn't say a few words and started to cry loudly by the bed, Yun Yun was upset and said hurriedly: "Commander Zhao, you don't have to blame yourself too much. The accident that happened to the emperor is really the anger of both humans and gods, but this matter is of great importance.
Before returning to the palace, we are not allowed to mention this matter to anyone, including the Prince Regent, so as not to worry him, do you understand?"
Zhao Dezhu wiped away his tears, nodded and said: "I sincerely obey your Majesty's decree, but there is something I don't know about. I don't know whether I should ask or not?"
"Commander Zhao, please tell me if you have anything to say."
"Half a month ago, the emperor contracted smallpox and had been recuperating in the palace, but why did he come to the public? The old queen mother was worried about the emperor's dragon body, and repeatedly emphasized that the emperor was not allowed to leave the palace until he recovered. Concubine Yun, you
——" Zhao Dezhu bowed respectfully and said: "Please forgive me for being bold. If the old queen mother takes the blame this time, it will be difficult for Concubine Yun to escape the relationship. Think about it, the emperor has been with you before the accident, and now the emperor has passed away.
, how do you let others view this matter, they will definitely think that it is you, Concubine Yun——"
Yun Yun raised his eyebrows, wondering if this guy wanted to put all the blame on me? As he said, in this way, this guy can not only claim credit from the uncle, but also don't have to worry about being raped by Concubine Shu.
Punishment, this trick of killing two birds with one stone is indeed vicious, so he said angrily: "Then according to Commander Zhao's intention, it was me who poisoned the emperor?"
Zhao Dezhu quickly shook his head and said: "I don't dare. I absolutely believe in the innocence of Concubine Yun. I am just worried about the Queen Mother -" He deliberately stopped mid-sentence.
"You don't need to worry about this. I would like to thank the Commander in Chief for your kindness. After I enter the palace, I will go to the Queen Mother to explain that the top priority is to send the emperor back to the palace. As the saying goes, a country cannot live without a king for a day, Your Majesty.
He left too hastily and did not establish a crown prince. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty could only choose a suitable person to inherit the throne."
Zhao Dezhu secretly rejoiced that most of the civil and military officials in the dynasty belonged to the prince. Hehe, the prince must have caught crabs in the cracks of the rocks this time - it was a certainty.
Seeing this guy lowering his head and snickering, Yun Yun felt happy and said, "Without further delay, I would like to trouble Commander Zhao to find a sedan chair. I will bring the emperor into the palace right now."
"I obey the order." Zhao Dezhu and others walked out in a polite manner and immediately closed the door.
Shao Yan suddenly sat up from the bed, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, took a breath and said: "I didn't expect that pretending to be dead would be so uncomfortable. Alas, it's better to be alive." Then he moved his shoulders.
, looked at Yunyun curiously and said: "By the way, Yunyun, how did you know that the tea is poisonous?"
"It's a coincidence that you just had a secret conversation with Mr. Deng in the room. You accidentally saw a waiter looking furtively at our room outside. After a closer look, you found out that it was the waiter who brought us tea.
At that time, Yunyun also felt very strange, until later the shopkeeper asked him to deliver tea to the guests. Yunyun noticed some changes in the man's face, so Yunyun boldly guessed that there must be something wrong with the tea."
"So that's it. No wonder this guy looks so familiar." Shao Yan admired Yun Yun's carefulness from the bottom of his heart and said with a smile: "My wife is simply the reincarnation of Sun Wukong, with a pair of fiery eyes."
Yunyun had heard him tell allusions from "Journey to the West", so she was no stranger to Sun Wukong. When she heard Shao Yan compare herself to such a powerful person, the girl couldn't help but cover her lips and smile, "Your Majesty has given me a reward, how can Yun Yun be like this?"
Monkey King? Fortunately, Zhao Dezhu did not become suspicious this time, otherwise we would have to adopt the second plan you mentioned."
Modest girls are always popular. When she wasn't paying attention, Shao Yan took her into his arms, kissed her hard on her lips, and said happily: "My wife is so good at acting, they
What can you doubt?"
Yunyun was immediately ashamed, her pretty face felt like it was on fire, red and hot. The feeling was uncomfortable but very wonderful. She gently broke away from Shao Yan's arm and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty
You have acted badly again, we still have a lot of business to do."
A woman's reserve is also a kind of beautiful expression. Seeing that the girl was shy when speaking, more charming than before, Shao Yan pursed his lips and smiled, "Of course I know, I have a good wife by my side, what else do I have to be afraid of?"
"Come here, husband, give me a hug." After saying that, he went to hug her. At this moment, he heard someone knocking on the door. Shao Yan quickly lay down and continued to pretend to be dead. He lowered his voice and shouted: "Who is it?"
?”
"Concubine Yun, it's us"
When Yunyun heard the voices of Zhang Er and Wang Wu, he immediately went to open the door. Shao Yan got up from the bed. According to the two reports, the situation in the palace was relatively stable. At least no one knew that the emperor was not in the palace yet.
The news no longer meant much to Shao Yan. After the two of them finished speaking, he told them his plan. After hearing this, they both said it was wonderful.
Not long after, Zhao Dezhu came over with the imperial army. He ordered Zhang Er and Wang Wu to carry Shao Yan into the sedan chair, and then everyone rushed towards the palace together.
After returning to the palace, Yunyun followed Shao Yan's instructions and sent him back to the palace to lie down, and asked Zhao Dezhu to announce to the public that the emperor had relapsed and was unable to go to court. Zhao Dezhu secretly concealed the news of the emperor's death in the palace while sneaking out.
The palace told the regent Guo Wei the news. Guo Wei was surprised and happy after hearing it, and began to make preparations to inherit the throne.
When the old queen heard that the emperor's old illness had relapsed, she hurried from Cining Palace to visit her. It was only a hundred steps from Cining Palace to the emperor's palace. Because of her deep love for her son, the old queen walked in a hurry along the way and almost fell down several times.
Fortunately, there were a lot of maids waiting behind her. When she walked around several palace gates and arrived at the entrance of the palace, she heard the sound of a woman crying from inside. It turned out that before that, the three sisters of the Xiao family had learned that the emperor
They were seriously ill and they all ran to the emperor's bedside and cried bitterly. When Yunyun told them the news of the emperor's death, the three sisters cried even harder. Concubine Xiao Shu almost fainted from crying.
"Your Majesty, please wake up. Are you so heartless to leave me alone? If you leave like this, you will leave me alone in the world. It would be better for me to die." Xiao Yingying cried while holding a handkerchief.
Wiping away her tears, she could only see that the corners of her mouth were slightly red, her brows were full of wrinkles, and she looked heartbroken, but it didn't look like she was pretending.
"The Queen Mother has arrived"
Following a long shout, Queen Mother Guo walked in from the outside with tears in her eyes. Yun Yun, the three sisters of the Xiao family, Zhang Er, Wang Wu and others hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed. Queen Mother Guo waved weakly, and then stepped forward
She walked slowly towards the emperor's bed with arduous steps. She had just heard the news of her son's death at the door, and she felt like a thunderbolt, and her whole body couldn't help but take several steps back.
Looking at her son's peaceful face, Queen Mother Guo's eyes sparkled with crystal tears, and her kind face had a touch of sadness. She did not hold her son and cry bitterly, but sat quietly by the bed, stroking her heart.
The hair on his forehead and the clothes on his body
"Long'er, open your eyes and look at the queen. The queen did not take good care of you. The queen failed your father's trust. The queen is guilty." As she spoke, tears burst out of Queen Mother Guo's eyes, and a few drops fell on Shao Yan's lips.
, tastes astringent, salty
Queen Mother Guo wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and lovingly reached out to touch Shao Yan's forehead. Shao Yan broke into a cold sweat. Although he pretended to look like him, the biggest difference between the living and the dead was body temperature. As long as Queen Mother Guo touched it, he could
Realizing that he was pretending to be dead, Yun Yun on the side quickly shouted: "Queen Mother, no"
Queen Mother Guo's expression changed greatly, and she immediately took her hand back, frowning and saying, "Why are you making such a fuss, girl?"
