This disease cannot be cured, it must be cured

As night fell, the Li Wang Mansion was lit up early, and it was brightly lit.

King Li waited for a day, but there was no news of the prince's return.

If the prince hears the news, he will rush back without stopping.

If you haven't returned today, there is still one way to go: the prince is really dead.

King Li was in a great mood, sitting down and standing up countless times.

Seeing this, Li Yuankun persuaded him, "Father..."

As soon as he said a word, King Li seemed to know what he was going to say, and immediately waved his hand to stop him.

A man in black with a box came in from outside, his robe lifted and he knelt on the ground.

King Li stood up, smiled cruelly and said, "It's done?"

"Congratulations, my lord!" The man in black glanced at the black cloth-covered box placed at his feet from the corner of his eye, with a little complacency in his tone, "It's done!"

King Li nodded.

Seeing that he was in a good mood, the man said: "Only the head is left to look at, and the rest of the mess can't be put together."

As he spoke, he picked up the box on the side and lifted the black cloth to reveal the contents inside.

King Li looked up and frowned disgustedly, "Take it away."

The man in black closed the box, "The general is gone, the escaped Shen Huan is nothing to be afraid of."

"Be careful, don't let the blood drip and stain my floor." Li Wang ignored his words and mocked.

"Yes."

The man in black complimented him a few more times, and described: "The general was also a man who stood up to thousands of troops back then. How can he be so vulnerable? It seems that he is really old."

Li Wang grinned and almost laughed out loud.

Li Yuankun stood up, pursed his lips and said nothing.

King Li glanced at him, and asked again: "This is the end, will you follow me to finish this big business, or continue to stay behind?"

Li Yuankun stared at him without saying a word, and King Li continued: "You are the eldest son of the palace, why are you so timid?"

Li Yuankun: "It's not that you are afraid of your hands and feet. That position is extremely cold. Even if you snatch it, it will be unfair."

"The General's Mansion is empty, and the East Palace is also empty." King Li looked in the direction of the imperial palace outside, and pointed at it excitedly: "A few days ago, the Empress sent the natal family of the Duke's Mansion into the palace, and the emperor's brother fell ill the next day. Now, the guards in the Duke's Mansion are still guarding the gate of the palace to prevent anyone from entering or leaving! What's this called?"

"A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" King Li couldn't help laughing, "We will go to the palace to have a face-to-face meeting tomorrow morning, and by the way, arrest the queen who is trying to rebel against Cholera Chaogang! Everything is justified."

Beijing, the imperial palace.

The tall buildings in the night are like ghostly black shadows, and the people who travel through them are hurrying without saying a word, floating around like ghosts.

A few concubines with names stood outside Hancui Palace, looking inside anxiously.

Cheng Yun came out from the inside and bowed to everyone, "Masters and nobles, please go back. The emperor is not awake yet. There are two imperial physicians inside to take care of him, and the empress is taking care of him. The emperor is very lucky. Maybe he will wake up tomorrow, nobles." Come back tomorrow morning to say hello."

The people outside looked at each other, Qinggui timidly asked: "Don't we need the rest of us to wait on you?"

With a respectful smile on Cheng Yun's face, she replied: "There is Zhao Zhong, the imperial physician Zhao Zhong who has always been used by the emperor, in it. Do you think you are more useful than him?"

Qinggui shrank back angrily at the scolding tone in her words, and took half a step back.

Zhao Zhong has been taking care of the emperor's body, caring for every detail, and all the concubines are relieved.

Cheng Yun blessed her body again and returned to the courtyard of Hancui Palace.

He entered the door without stopping, and told the maid beside the door, "Keep an eye on the door, no one can enter except His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

At the same time, the maid asked hesitantly: "Didn't your Highness go south? Why are you coming back at this moment?"

Cheng Yun stopped and stared at her.

The maid consciously stopped talking, causing him to bow his head in fright, not daring to speak.

Cheng Yun went into the inner room and came up to the queen, "They sent everyone away. Although the concubines were a bit reluctant, they didn't feel suspicious when they heard that Zhao Zhong was inside."

The queen did not comment, but glanced at Zhao Zhong.

Zhao Zhong was held down by two eunuchs on his shoulders, with a cotton cloth stuffed in his mouth, and knelt on the ground profusely with sweat.

When the name was called, he said "woo woo" to the queen twice, as if he had something to say.

The queen raised her hand gracefully.

The eunuch took out the cotton cloth from his mouth, Zhao Zhongxian took a few big breaths and coughed again.

The Empress waited patiently on a log chair at the table.

"Bring water to Imperial Physician Zhao," she said.

Zhao Zhong finally came to his senses, waved his hands quickly to signal that there is no need to bother, and then resigned to his fate dejectedly: "Xiaguan, Xiaguan understand..."

"He who understands the current affairs is a hero, and I understand that you are loyal," the queen asked in a calm tone, "Is there any doubts about Imperial Physician Zhao that I need to explain to you?"

"Don't dare to dare," Zhao Zhong shook his head with his beard dragged on his chin, his voice was long, "Your Majesty must have her own difficulties..."

The queen smiled and waved her hand.

The eunuch let him go immediately.

Zhao Zhong knelt on the ground, nodded with tears in his eyes.

As soon as the figure moved, the queen stood up, and Cheng Yun walked over to support her forearm.

The empress walked to the bed in a graceful manner, and glanced at the sleeping emperor.

Cheng Yun glanced at Zhao and Xu, two imperial physicians, and they entered the compartment consciously.

The queen stood by the bed, watching quietly.

Cheng Yun waited for a while, then quietly retreated.

The person in the hall fell to the ground and smelled the needle for a while, the person on the bed was breathing lightly, if he didn't listen carefully, he could hardly hear the sound of breathing.

After a long time, the queen finally sat by the bed, lowered her head slightly, and smiled.

"The concubine laughs at herself," she sighed slowly, "I have been in the palace for decades, and I always remember the royal dignity and my husband's face, but my husband refuses to give me face."

"Why do you want to recognize that scoundrel in the General's Mansion?" She turned her head and stared at her husband's face and asked.

The person on the bed had his eyes slightly closed and remained motionless.

The queen turned her head, stretched out a few slender fingers, and scratched the delicate embroidery on her head with the gorgeous armor.

Make a little noise.

She listened in a daze for a while, then smiled helplessly: "There are countless concubines in the Sangong and Sixth Courtyards, who is not good for you to favor, but you have to favor one of the concubine's servant daughters, and she is pregnant, making people laugh that the concubine can't give birth to the first baby." Two, I sent the woman to your bed and raised a body jar."

She took off the armor, showing her white and slender fingers that were well maintained, and touched the side of the emperor's face.

"Changed." She sighed.

"You were so brave back then, your side face was colder than your heart, and it felt like a stone to the touch."

"It's softened now."

"emperor……"

Her gentle look disappeared, replaced by gradually cruel eyes, "Why do you keep recruiting new people into the harem? Why do you want other children? On the day Chen'er was born, you told me 'he is enough ', have you forgotten that?"

"Back then you were the prince, and you were on the battlefield all year round. You said that the late emperor had no interest in you, and you felt the same way." She withdrew her hand, and put the armor back one by one, as if wearing copper muscles and iron bones, " On the day you married me, you promised, "I'm not the emperor, I won't raise the Sangong Sixth Court to worry you, and you also take care of the house, don't distract me when I'm fighting, you and I will marry each other for the rest of our lives" , the concubine did it."

"Where's the emperor?" she asked.

The people on the bed were as quiet as ever.

She sighed to herself and said indifferently: "The emperor has forgotten."

"But this concubine still remembers," she raised her head and neck like a swan in this moment of no one, "there is only one way to not be let down..."

"Dead people, when you die, you won't let others down." She said slowly, "What you owe me, just use the few lives you have left to pay back."

She said terrifying words, except for her eyes, her posture was still extremely dignified, "Come here."

Cheng Yun came in with two imperial physicians and waited aside to listen to orders.

The queen got up and asked, "How long can the emperor last?"

Xu Zhuo hurriedly bowed and said, "If you don't intervene, you can survive until tomorrow morning at most, and Yaoshi will ignore it."

The queen was silent for a moment, seeming to be thinking carefully.

There was a knock on the door, several people looked at the door together, and the long-cherished wish outside said: "Madam, the guards who are going to the south to deliver the letter and the housekeeper of the East Palace are asking to see together."

Cheng Yun couldn't help laughing, "The prince is back!"

"Come in." The queen also had some smile lines around her mouth.

The guard who delivered the letter entered the palace in the dark together with Yan Zhen, and entered the Hancui Palace with a dusty body, panting heavily.

"His Highness walked two sticks of incense earlier than his subordinates. The governor and the accompanying imperial physician chased after him. Now the guards are all in order, and all of them have entered the East Palace, but His Highness has not seen anyone yet." The guard said.

The corner of the queen's mouth sank, and her heart sank, as she had been smiling for 800 years, "Didn't you come back? Are there only three of them?"

"There are only three people. It is reasonable to say that the number of people is small, and they should have arrived long ago." The guard replied.

Yan Zhen immediately said: "The slave got the news, the general's mansion is blood red, the general is... gone."

The queen was shocked: "What's going on?"

Yan Zhen shook his head and frowned, "I don't know if the news is true or not. The eyeliner reported that the general came back halfway and wanted to enter the palace with the steward, but he was attacked in the study before leaving!"

"At this moment, all the guards stationed in the General's Mansion have changed. Looking at the appearance, they seem to be from the Li Wang Mansion." He said.

The queen took a deep look at him, Yan Zhen was sweating profusely, and looked at her in disregard of dignity.

Deep in the depths of his eyes, he seemed to see the truth at the same time: the general rushed back after receiving the news that the emperor was seriously ill.

By mistake, the Duke's Mansion was kept in the dark, making the queen think that the planning was perfect.

The general's mansion was destroyed, the general died tragically, and the prince disappeared...

The queen seemed to be thinking about which step she missed, and Cheng Yun said anxiously: "It must be King Li who took advantage of the situation to strike!"

As soon as the queen waved her hand, Cheng Yun immediately stopped talking.

After a while, this always dignified woman finally lost her composure, "Send someone south quickly to meet the prince!"

Yan Zhen and the guards looked at each other, and they both saw the solemnity in their eyes.

"Yes!" The two agreed in unison.

"Add more people to the East Palace at the gate of the palace, and they must cover it tightly." The queen changed her mind and said, "Immediately tell King Li to enter the palace, saying that the emperor is awake and wants to see him!"

"Yes!" The eunuch who was guarding the door complied.

The three of them performed their own duties, Yan Zhen sent someone to meet the prince, the guard went back to the East Palace to mobilize people to go to the palace, and the eunuch took a group of people to Prince Li's mansion.

The eunuch went for a long time and never came back.

Cheng Yun looked around countless times, her nervous heart and eyelids twitched, "What if King Li uses this to seek power and usurp the throne?"

The queen glanced at her and asked, "Who is the guard at the palace gate?"

Cheng Yun replied: "You are still from the Duke's Mansion."

"Where's brother?" the queen asked again.

"It has been guarded at the Imperial Study Room and Qinzheng Hall, and has never left the palace."

As she said so, the queen relaxed and looked at the person on the bed again.

After the silence, he called Xu Zhuo and asked, "If you treat him now, will the emperor still be awake?"

Xu Zhuo was stunned for a moment, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, if the Emperor wakes up, I'm afraid he will know the truth of our conspiracy immediately, and it may be a felony crime of copying the family and exterminating the nine clans!"

"That's much better than being imprisoned by King Li!"

Countless ruthless lights gathered in the queen's eyes, "As long as the emperor is still here, even if King Li invades the palace, it is a crime of rebellion. Even if he insists on seizing the throne, it is not justified. We still have a chance."

Xu Zhuo hesitated and asked: "If the prince does not return..."

"No!" The queen cut off his words loudly, her chest heaving violently, "The prince... the prince will definitely come back!"

Xu Zhuo was deeply aware that he had already stepped into the field of Shura, thinking about life and death.

Originally, the emperor recognized Shen Huan and his son, and the empress, who had endured for many years, finally calmed down and wanted to break up the situation.

Xu Zhuo took advantage of the opportunity to stand in line, taking advantage of the fact that the general was sending Shen Huan north, and there was no one in the house, so he was ordered by the queen to give the emperor a strong dose of medicine.

The emperor was seriously ill, and the government was temporarily suspended. All the privately-raised elite soldiers of the foreign relatives' government were dispatched. While keeping the news from spreading, they were stationed in the palace, waiting for the return of the prince.

When the crown prince returned to Beijing smoothly, the emperor took medicine from the doctor and made it known to the world, and the crown prince succeeded to the throne smoothly.

Everything worked seamlessly.

Unexpectedly, King Li stepped in, first destroyed the general's mansion, cut off Shen Huan's retreat, then blocked the prince's return to Beijing, and cut off the queen's retreat.

If the emperor insists on dying before the crown prince returns to Beijing, the heir approved by Yubi will still have a lot to argue with King Li.

Going deeper, if the crown prince, the heir approved by Yubi, really does not return, then King Li...

Xu Zhuo boldly guessed, if King Li ascended the throne as emperor, who would be the first to be attacked?

Of course, the ex-prince and the ex-prince's party!

Xu Zhuo was shocked, and stared at the queen with wide eyes.

The queen stared at him with determination in her eyes.

Xu Zhuo encouraged: "The next official can only try his best, I don't know if the emperor can wake up..."
