Chapter 62 The Time Traveler Who Was Cannon Fodder (15)

Faced with this situation, the emperor almost lost his breath, his eyes widened with fear as he pointed at Yu Zheng and asked, "Who are you?"

The people in the room looked at the place where the emperor's finger was pointing. Wasn't that the top of Concubine Zhang's head? Where was the other person?

Yu Zheng was also very puzzled. Could it be that the emperor could see him?

"Someone come! Someone come quickly! Capture this monster for me quickly!" After being brought back to his senses by the man's soul, the emperor shouted frantically outside the palace.

The emperor was really frightened. He didn't expect that the beauty he had doted on for several years was actually a man. Even if it was a man, he would have accepted it. But it turned out to be an ugly man who was short, fat and had pimples all over his face. When the emperor thought about himself and this ugly man making love in bed and not knowing what was going on, he felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach.

Lu Changqing felt that it was enough. She did this not only to disgust the emperor, but also to break Yu Zheng's fantasy of being a goddess in his heart. This dog emperor loved to act affectionate. Who knew if he killed Yu Zheng directly, would the emperor treat the dead Yu Zheng as his white moonlight, just like he did with Xie Yuanshuang in his previous life?

After this incident, Lu Changqing felt that the emperor would probably suffer from PTSD towards beautiful women for a short period of time. Even if he saw a beautiful woman, he would probably wonder if the soul of a man was hidden in her.

If there is a love affair between a man and a woman, he may accept it well, but it would be difficult for the emperor, who is a straight man, to accept it.

A gust of wind blew up again in the house with Yu Zheng as the center. Lu Changqing asked Xie Yuanshuang to protect the emperor and retreat. Seeing this, several palace servants in the house surrounded them in fear and blocked Xie Yuanshuang and the emperor at the back.

"Ming'e." Xie Yuanshuang called Lu Changqing with some concern. She knew that Lu Changqing was capable, but after all, he was facing such an evil monster. She was afraid that Lu Changqing would not be his opponent.

They began to attack the wild system in Yu Zheng's soul. Everyone saw that the beautiful Concubine Zhang's body was flashing with golden electric light, which scared them so much that they dared not move forward.

Yu Zheng felt as if something was tearing at his soul. He screamed and rolled on the ground holding his head. His voice was sharp and painful.

"System, what's going on? Why is my body in so much pain?"

The emperor heard the male voice again, and this time he was sure that it came from the male soul of his beloved Concubine Zhang.

The emperor looked at the man who was holding his head with a look of pain on his face. He already looked ugly, and now with his distorted face, he looked even uglier.

The emperor stroked his chest and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He was now somewhat thankful that he was the only one around who could see that soul. If the other people in the room knew that the woman he had favored for several years was actually a man, and an ugly man at that, where would his dignity and face be?

The palace maids can be killed at will, but the queen cannot be killed at will as well.

The wild system cursed, "I seem to have encountered other systems."

The wild system glanced at everyone in the room. Everyone had a look of fear on their face. It didn't know who the person possessed by the system was.

"Then what should we do? I'm almost dying of pain!" Yu Zheng couldn't bear it anymore and started swearing.

The wild system was a little conflicted about whether to devour Yu Zheng's soul and run away now, but it was also a little unwilling. It brought Yu Zheng into this world, but except for sucking a little bit of dragon energy from the old emperor, it got nothing. This business was really a loss.

Just as the wild system was struggling over whether to run away, the child's voice sounded again, "Found you!"

The wild system had a bad intuition, and without hesitation, it devoured Yu Zheng's soul and prepared to run away. However, to the wild system's surprise, the next moment after it devoured Yu Zheng, it found itself deep in a white space.

The wild system transformed into a blue ball of light and bumped around in Lu Changqing's sea of ​​consciousness, asking in horror: "Where is this? Who are you?"

Lu Changqing sincerely thanked the wild system in his sea of ​​consciousness, "Thank you for helping me kill him. To thank you, I will let my system send you off right now."

As soon as the words fell, the blue ball of light disappeared.

The system disappeared, the strong wind in the house stopped, and Yun Zheng's body fell to the ground motionless.

The emperor was terrified. In his eyes, he only saw the ugly man suddenly disappear from Yun Zheng's body, and Yun Zheng twitched in pain for a few times and then stopped moving.

Lu Changqing brought several palace maids forward to check, and at this moment a magical scene happened. Yun Zheng's originally cold and attractive face quickly turned yellow and shriveled like a vegetable leaf that had lost its moisture, scaring the palace maids so much that they screamed and retreated.

Xie Yuanshuang and the emperor who were standing behind also saw this scene. Xie Yuanshuang was fine, after all, she had already determined in her heart that Yun Zheng was a monster, and she had already made sufficient preparations.

But the emperor could not cope with it. The sudden transformation of a person from a stunning beauty into the mummy appearance she is today was such a huge shock that the emperor's little heart could not bear it for a moment. His eyes rolled back, his head tilted, and he fainted.

The room was in chaos. Lu Changqing took advantage of the confusion to pull the quilt from the bed and cover the corpse on the ground. Then he withdrew his mental strength. The palace servants guarding outside the hall finally heard the shouting from inside the hall.

Concubine Zhang died suddenly, and under Xie Yuanshuang's suppression, this incident did not cause much stir in the harem.

Lu Changqing personally dragged Yun Zheng's body out of the palace and dealt with it. He wrapped it in a quilt and burned it directly, and then asked someone to find a place to bury it.

As for the palace maids in the room that day, Xie Yuanshuang silenced them all. It was a serious crime punishable by beheading the entire family, so no one dared to talk about it.

After the emperor woke up, he felt even worse. He remembered that the male ghost had drugged him for three years, so he quickly asked the imperial doctors to treat him.

The imperial doctors could not tell whether the emperor was poisoned or not. They only found that his pulse was weak, so they prescribed a lot of medicine and tactfully advised him to cultivate his body and mind.

It was not known whether it was because he had lost Yu Zheng's aphrodisiac and was afraid of exposing the fact that he was an instant ejaculator in front of his concubines, or if he was really scared by Yu Zheng, he remained celibate for several months. However, his headaches became more serious and his temper became sensitive, suspicious, irritable and unpredictable.

In the past, he could take Yu Zheng’s pills to relieve his stress, but now he could only lie on the bed with his head in his arms to rest. Not to mention handling state affairs, he almost never even went to the morning court.

How could the emperor not attend the court? For now, either the crown prince should be made regent, or the queen should be made ruler.

The emperor got angry when he heard this. The prince was still so young. What was the difference between letting the prince govern the country and letting the queen rule the country?

The emperor, who lay in bed all day, thought a lot. When he thought of Yu Zheng, he tried hard to ignore that ugly face. He really couldn't understand why Yu Zheng poisoned him. What benefit would his death bring to the other party?

The emperor began to think along the lines of "benefits". After much thought, he realized that the one who had benefited the most was his queen. He felt that Yun Zheng might be the queen's person, and the queen wanted to use Yun Zheng to kill him so as to help the prince ascend to the throne and take over power and control the government while the prince was still young.

The calls for the empress to take charge of government were growing louder and louder in the court. The emperor felt that he could not wait any longer. Even if he could not depose the empress, he had to weaken the power of the Xie family in the court.

The emperor asked the eunuch Zhang Guangxi who had been serving him to summon his confidant, but the person who came was not his confidant, but the queen and the maid who had been serving the queen.

Lu Changqing dragged a chair over for Xie Yuanshuang to sit on, and she stood at the head of the emperor's bed ready to take action at any time.

The emperor endured the headache and asked: "Why is the queen here now?"

After Xie Yuanshuang raised his hand to let all the palace servants in the hall leave, he straightened the cuffs of his uniform and asked expressionlessly, "I heard from Zhang Guangxi that His Majesty is going to summon Minister Wang of the Ministry of War. Is there something urgent?"

The emperor's head was already hurting, and Xie Yuanshuang's interrogation attitude angered him, "What do you mean, Queen? Do I need your consent to summon the court officials now?"

Xie Yuanshuang pulled the corner of his mouth, "I dare not, I am just curious."

"It's not a big deal. If the Queen has nothing to do, please go back to the palace. I have a severe headache now and want to rest." The emperor felt a little uneasy and started to send people away.

Xie Yuanshuang nodded, stood up from the chair and walked to the emperor's bed, bent down and stroked the pale and thin face of the person under him.

A cold and slippery hand was placed on his cheek, and the emperor subconsciously dodged.

Xie Yuanshuang looked at his hands hanging in the air and sneered.

"The Queen also has——"

Before the emperor could finish his words, something white smeared on his face.

Lu Changqing held the emperor's head with one hand and the drugged handkerchief that was covered on the emperor's face with the other.

Xie Yuanshuang knelt on the bed and tried hard to hold down the emperor's feet, which were kicking and struggling. After a few breaths, the person on the bed dropped his hands and stopped moving.

After the two men laid the man on the bed, Lu Changqing touched the emperor's nose and found that he was not dead, but just unconscious.

Xie Yuanshuang straightened his messy collar, raised his foot and kicked the emperor's leg in the face, angrily cursing: "Do you really think that I have approved those memorials for you in the past few years for nothing? I wanted to keep you for a few days, but you can't wait to make a move on my Xie family. If you want to lie in bed with your father so much, then I will grant your wish."

Lu Changqing took out silver needles and stabbed them into the emperor's head one by one. When it came to the last needle, she used her Qi to break the silver needle in the middle, leaving half of the needle in the emperor's head.

After the effect of the drug wore off, the emperor was awakened by the pain. He opened his mouth to tell the palace maids who were serving him that the queen wanted to kill him and usurp the throne. However, as soon as he opened his mouth, he foamed at the mouth and convulsed all over. The palace maids were so scared that they crawled to call the imperial physician.

Almost five years have passed since the retired emperor suffered a stroke. The emperor has also suffered a stroke and is now unable to get out of bed. His eyes are crooked, his mouth is slanting and saliva is dripping. Someone needs to serve him when he eats, drinks, defecates and urinates.

Some people suspected that the emperor's stroke was too strange and pointed the finger at the current queen, Xie Yuanshuang.

Of course Xie Yuanshuang would not admit that he did it, and put all the blame on Yu Zheng, who had been dead for a long time. He first drugged the emperor to make him impotent, and then poisoned the aphrodisiac pill, which caused the emperor to have a headache and then a stroke.

The emperor's confidants did not believe Xie Yuanshuang's words at first. Later, the eunuch Zhang Guangxi, who had been serving the emperor, came out to testify that what the queen said was all true and that those were said by Concubine Zhang herself before her death. Only then did everyone dispel their doubts about Xie Yuanshuang.

In fact, in Xie Yuanshuang's view, it doesn't matter whether these people doubt her or not. The emperor has become like that, and her son is still so young. In addition, she has been helping to handle state affairs in recent years. Who else can be qualified for the position of regent empress dowager except her?

Xie Yuanshuang held the little emperor's hand and walked step by step towards the chair at the top of the hall amid the people's worship.

The dragon throne was wide enough to accommodate two people. Xie Yuanshuang looked at the court officials kneeling in the hall. She remembered that the coronation ceremony of the retired emperor was also like this, with a huge group of people crawling at her feet.

Back then she benefited from her husband's help, and now she benefited from her son's help.

Xie Yuanshuang was not in a hurry to eliminate the confidants of the retired emperor left in the court. The retired emperor was already completely hopeless. A new emperor has new ministers. These people might be able to be used by her if they stayed.

Even if these people are loyal to the emperor, it doesn't matter. Her son is less than nine years old and he is still several years away from adulthood. The court is treacherous and the rise and fall of officials is inevitable. There are plenty of ways to deal with those who have ulterior motives.

This year's winter was particularly cold. The northern barbarians marched southward in large numbers to harass the border. By the time the court received urgent reports from the border, four cities had already been lost.

The empress dowager was furious. She selected 40,000 soldiers and appointed Lu Changqing as General Zhongwu and ordered her to lead the troops to war three days later.

As soon as the imperial decree came out, the court was also furious. Who was this Fang Ming'e? Was there no one in the court? Why did they need a woman to lead the army?

There was an uproar in the court, and some people even wanted to commit suicide by banging their heads against the pillars. Xie Yuanshuang did not let anyone stop them. It was not like there had never been female generals and queens in the previous dynasty. She just wanted a woman to lead the troops, not to usurp the throne. She really didn't believe that someone would give up his wealth and glory and seek death for this matter.

Lu Changqing fought this battle for more than half a year, from late winter to early autumn of the following year, from the border of Qi all the way to the capital of Beirong. In the end, he won back more than 3,000 war horses and an annual tribute of 200,000 for Qi, and made all the literati in the court shut up.

Lu Changqing brought the envoys from Beirong back to the capital. Both sides of the street were filled with people watching the fun. They cheered and jumped for joy, loudly congratulating the general who brought them victory.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Changqing stayed in the court. Xie Yuanshuang originally wanted to arrange her to work in the Ministry of War, but was rejected by Lu Changqing.

"The capital doesn't need me anymore. Let me go to Yanyun to help you guard the border."

This time, Lu Changqing took Xiao Yunkai, who was already nine years old, with him. When leaving the imperial city, Lu Changqing turned around and looked back, and saw the blue figure on the palace wall still standing there quietly, until the team walked away and completely disappeared from sight.

Seven years later, Xiao Yunkai, who was already sixteen years old, carried a coffin back to Beijing. In the dark coffin lay Fang Ming'e, the General Yunhui who had always raised her, but she was more accustomed to calling her aunt.

Even though it is winter now and the body is kept in ice every day, the person has been dead for nearly a month and some rotten odor can still be smelled when the coffin lid is opened.

Xie Yuanshuang glanced at the corpse covered with frost. The man looked much darker than when he left Beijing.

Xie Yuanshuang suddenly covered her eyes and burst into tears. Every time this man wrote to her, he would tell her that everything was fine and not to worry, and he would only tell her about the good news and not the bad news. It was obvious that he had suffered so much, but he just refused to tell her.

How could such a great person pass away just because of a minor cold!
