Chapter 501: The Defeated King of Nanhuai
Zi'an watched Eunuch Bao kowtow, but the emperor's expression remained unchanged, and she said: "I told Eunuch Bao and Eunuch Lu in private, saying that the emperor's condition should not be bothered now, so let them help."
Eunuch Bao was taken aback for a moment, then looked up at Zi'an.
The emperor glanced at it, knowing what was in his mind, and said to Zi'an: "Princess, please show the old lady's wound behind the screen first, and give her medicine immediately if it is urgent."
"Yes!" Zian stepped forward to help the old matriarch, and the old matriarch stood up and bowed, "Thank you, princess."
Zi'an laughed from the bottom of his heart, this old fox, how could he have been so polite in the past, most of the time he yelled at her.
"You're welcome!"
The old matriarch's wound was indeed red and pus-filled. Her wound was treated by Zi'an himself, so it was impossible for her wound to turn red and pus-filled, unless she did something wrong.
Zi'an was deeply moved, and gave her a reproachful look, "I'm too old to pay attention to my body."
"What can I do? I can't let someone take a bath for my old body. I am old and have rough hands and feet, so it is inevitable that I will be stained with raw water." If the wound was not really inflamed, this time, she would be considered as a special visitor to the palace. The emperor said those words, although the emperor was not wary of her, but it was too obvious and deliberate, which is not good.
"Wait a minute, I have to clean the wound again when I go out to get the medicine box, otherwise if the inflammation is severe, the whole arm will be useless." Zian frowned.
The emperor heard that the situation was so serious outside, so he sent someone to ask the imperial doctor to come and have a look.
There is an imperial doctor waiting outside in this hall, so it is not troublesome to ask the imperial doctor, as long as you go out and pass the word, you will be there.
Seeing the old matriarch's injury, the imperial doctor couldn't help gasping, "The old matriarch's wound must be treated carefully, so don't get any more inflammation."
The old matriarch said: "It's okay, it's okay, has the old man suffered few injuries in his life? There are no less than dozens of sword wounds, sword wounds, and arrow wounds on this body. It's not a problem."
When the emperor heard this sentence outside, he felt emotional and sullen in his heart. Whether it was a harem dispute or a battle for the throne, the old lady should not be dragged into the water.
He re-evaluated what the old matriarch had just said, and summoned Lu Gonggong in while the imperial doctor and Zi'an were treating the old matriarch's wound.
He issued an order to investigate this matter strictly. All the forbidden troops in the palace will cooperate with the Night King's purge operation, and they will dare to resist the order and beheaded!
If this decree goes on, it will be equivalent to believing half of Zian.
Zi'an glanced at the old matriarch, and the old matriarch also looked at her, his eyes were burning, and Zi'an was speechless grateful.
After treating the wound, the old matriarch patted Zian's hand, "Don't worry, I'm fine, you can just take care of the emperor here, and I'll wait for the emperor to recover from illness."
She wanted Zi'an to rest assured that although she was temporarily trapped here, people outside would try their best to return her innocence.
Zi'an is not worried about this now, but is only concerned about whether the people of King Ye have succeeded in assassinating King Nanhuai.
Sending Chen Taijun away, Zi'an returned to the palace, Eunuch Bao was still kneeling on the ground, trembling, and Eunuch Lu was beside him, trying to persuade him, but he didn't dare.
Zi'an has been in and out of Xiwei Palace for many days. In fact, he knows the temperament of the two father-in-laws. Eunuch Bao is not saying that he betrayed the emperor, but that he really loves the emperor and hopes that everything can be resolved in the simplest and quickest way. Just don't bother the emperor.
Of course, it doesn't rule out the idea of which side he leans towards, because everyone knows the emperor's illness, and it's normal for Eunuch Bao to look for a new master if he can't survive for a long time.
After Bao Gonggong knelt down all night, the emperor sent him out, and then continued to use him, but he never said anything about it.
Let's say that King Nanhuai set off from Qiaozhen and arrived at Sujiang Mansion at night without incident. He lived in the post house of Sujiang Mansion.
He had been waiting for the news from Beijing, waiting for the news of the imperial concubine's death, so his pace slowed down.
He knew that poisoning took time, and it was already the morning of the fifth day since he left Beijing. He reckoned that there would be a flying pigeon to send a letter tomorrow.
There were no officials living in the post house, and when he stayed there, he drove everyone out.
This is his temporary base camp, where he wants to direct everything in Beijing.
When he was leaving Beijing, he sent someone out and told that if the concubine did not poison Chen Taijun, she had seen through his plan and asked someone to assassinate him directly, so no matter which way the concubine did Death, his purpose has been achieved.
That night, the news did come that the imperial concubine had not been poisoned, the assassins were assassinated, all seven assassins died in Ci'an Palace, Chen Taijun was slightly injured, the imperial concubine was safe and sound, and Sun Fang'er was seriously injured and passed out.
Hearing this news, King Nanhuai knew in his heart that the plan had failed, and his mother and concubine knew about his actions.
Because it is impossible for his people to attack Sun Fang'er, at least not yet.
Now that Sun Fang'er is seriously injured and unconscious, it is difficult to survive in that palace.
"My concubine has always attached great importance to Sun Fang'er. Even if she knows what the king is thinking, she can keep Sun Fang'er by her side, advise her and even contribute poison, but why should she kill her?" King Nanhuai discussed with Shangqiu, his adviser.
However, he soon knew why.
When he was suffering from abdominal pain, a doctor was called to check his pulse, and he was poisoned.
He remembered the wine that the imperial concubine gave him before leaving. At that time, she said that it was originally prepared for Murong Jie, but she gave it to him first.
He laughed wildly angrily, "Concubine Mu, how many people have you put by my side? You know every move of this king like the back of your hand."
She must have seen through that he was going to poison her, so she counterattacked.
"My lord, I have your letter from Feige!" The guard came in, holding a small bamboo tube in his hand.
"Present it!" King Nanhuai gritted his teeth. At this time, Feige was the only one who passed on the letter.
The guard drew a note from the small bamboo tube and handed it to King Nanhuai.
After he read it, he threw it into the charcoal stove, and the green smoke instantly lit up.
Adviser Shangqiu asked: "My lord, is this the noble concubine?"
"It's her!" King Nanhuai's face was gloomy. "This king was poisoned. Sun Fanger developed the poison. Only Sun Fanger has the antidote. Therefore, she wants to kill Sun Fanger."
"It seems that the imperial concubine has known your thoughts for a long time." Shangqiu mused.
"She knows, so what she administered is a chronic poison, and the antidote must be taken once a month, otherwise, this king will have his intestines pierced and die."
"She didn't kill her directly, which proves that she still wants to use the prince!"
"That's right, she wants the king to stand by and wait for her orders." King Nanhuai stood up, walked to the window, and stood with his hands behind his back, his face uncertain.
"My lord, then you should choose to settle the feud with the Concubine Gui. Presumably, the Concubine Gui will act as if nothing happened. After all, everyone takes what they need." Shangqiu suggested.
King Nanhuai's tone was cold, "Shangqiu, think about it carefully, what does it mean that she wants to kill Sun Fang'er?"
Shangqiu thought for a while, then suddenly took a breath, "She killed Sun Fang'er, which proves that she is not a mother gu."
"She's not a mother gu, so who is?" King Nanhuai suddenly turned his head, his eyes were ruthless.
Shangqiu looked at King Nanhuai and said with difficulty: "My lord, we have been teased by the noble concubine all the time."
"Before, Sun Fang'er said that this king is a mother gu, but later this king investigated and spied on the mother concubine, and finally decided that the mother concubine is the mother gu, we were misled by her."
