Quick Wear: My love-brained childhood sweetheart always asks me for a kiss
Chapter 327: The Gloomy Regent vs. the Fake Gold Spy (24)
Even the taciturn Perrin said that obsession is a terrible thing.
Song Shiyan always felt that these words were full of hints. Could it be that the three of them, the master and the servant, wanted to use this incident to warn him?
But to be honest, before Chi Tingwan married into the Regent's Palace, he was only grateful to her.
So, none of the obsessions or things that cannot be obtained can be attributed to him.
But he didn't mean to defend himself. No matter how much he said, it would not be as good as taking action. After a while, she would understand.
On the first night after planting the Wuxiang Gu in Empress Dowager Li, something happened to Chi Mingyu.
Seeing that everything was settled, it was time to set off for Beijing. But Chi Mingyu couldn't bear to leave these local beauties. Even if he liked them, he couldn't take them all back, because that would be too obvious.
He planned to take the two he liked best back first, and as for the others, he would take his time.
Seeing that he was about to return to Beijing, he wanted to indulge himself on the eve of the trip, so he called all the beauties into the house.
In order to have fun, he took three times the dose.
But he happened to be assassinated that night.
Chi Mingyu's body had already been drained by the drugs, and now he was seriously injured and frightened, so he could not be saved.
When Gu Jingxuan heard the news, he was shocked. "What did you say? Assassination?"
"The person is gone..."
Although he knew that Chi Mingyu would get into trouble sooner or later if he continued to indulge himself, Gu Jingxuan felt that it would be at least after he returned to Beijing. This incident happened too suddenly, and he was not mentally prepared at all.
Now we can only report this matter to the Regent and the Emperor at an urgent speed of eight hundred miles.
20-li Express: "In ancient times, document transmission relied on post stations, which were usually located every 300 li. Once the document to be delivered was marked with the words "immediate delivery", it had to be delivered at a speed of 400 li per day. In case of emergency, the transmission speed could reach 600 li, 800 li, and even li per day.
When delivering urgent documents, each post station used fast horses. In this way, although they were not thousand-mile horses, each horse could run a thousand miles a day if it ran as fast as possible. "Eight hundred miles express" was used to express information delivery in emergency situations. It was much faster than pigeons, but according to the current calculation method, even if the eight hundred miles express was as fast as it could be, it would still take at least two days. "
The news that Chi Mingyu was assassinated and seriously injured and died while having fun with a group of beauties quickly spread throughout Hezhou.
The people were surprised but not regretful.
Some people couldn't help but worry about Gu Jingxuan.
After all, Chi Mingyu was the highest-ranking official in this Hezhou trip. If he was suddenly killed before returning to Beijing to report, the emperor would be furious. They were all worried that Gu Jingxuan would be punished for this.
*
Upon learning that the matter had been settled, Empress Dowager Li felt extremely relieved.
With such a big incident, Hezhou would definitely report the incident to the capital in an urgent manner. In just two or three days, the incident would be reported back to the capital.
She just didn't believe that Chi Tingwan would be indifferent to this matter.
This investigation would lead to Song Shiyan. She wanted to see if these two really had no grudges against each other.
With something to look forward to, Empress Dowager Li felt that her life was more hopeful than before. The first thing she asked every day when she opened her eyes was whether there was any news from Hezhou.
Unfortunately, I didn’t receive the expedited letter that traveled eight hundred miles, but I did experience severe pain in the early morning of one day.
On this day, Empress Dowager Li was awakened by pain. She felt as if something was biting her whole body, and every inch of her body was in extreme pain. She curled up in pain and rolled around uncontrollably.
The little palace maid who heard the noise rushed in and said, "Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, what's wrong with you?"
At this time, Empress Dowager Li was lying on the ground with dishevelled hair and a dirty face, screaming, "Quick, find Mo Ning for me! Quick!"
The moment she saw Empress Dowager Li's face clearly, the little maid couldn't help but scream, "Empress Dowager, you...your face!"
At first, Queen Mother Li was kicking the chair and pounding the bed, but now she had no strength left. Seeing the little palace maid's ghostly look, she was even more furious, "What are you screaming about? Hurry up and find Mo Ning for me!" She shouted this sentence with her last breath.
The young maid hurried to the palace where Mo Ning lived. Mo Ning was the only maid who had the right to live alone besides Aunt Zhang. The Queen Mother had recently relied on her even more than Aunt Zhang.
The only person who had enjoyed this treatment before was Nanny Sun.
Looking at the Queen Mother's appearance, it was clear that she was almost mad. Now it seemed that only Mo Ning could calm her down. The little palace girl was afraid that she would be in trouble, so she ran away in a hurry.
"Aunt Mo! Aunt Mo! The Queen Mother is anxious to see you!" The little palace maid knocked on Mo Ning's door anxiously.
But the people inside remained silent.
The little palace maid gritted her teeth and pushed the door open. Looking at the empty room, she was stunned.
The bed was still messy. Could it be that he had gone to the toilet? Thinking of this, the little palace maid hurried to the toilet.
After searching for a while, she still couldn't find the person. The young palace maid quickly called on everyone in Ci'an Palace to help look for him.
But half an hour passed and no one was found.
The little maid went back tremblingly to report, "Empress Dowager...Aunt Mo Ning is missing. We have searched everywhere we should have looked...but still can't find her."
The pain was much less now. Recalling what Mo Ning said and the reaction of the little palace maid, Empress Dowager Li felt very uneasy. She tentatively picked up the bronze mirror on the table.
Looking at the wrinkled face, her tears suddenly welled up.
Only two words came to her mind: It's over.
The little palace maid knelt on the ground and trembled.
I don't know if it's an illusion. I feel like the Queen Mother's face is scarier than before...
Empress Dowager Li said in a hoarse voice and with a dull look in her eyes, "No need to look for him... Where is the emperor now? Let him come to see me."
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty seems to have not left the court yet..."
"Go and guard the back door of the Jinluan Palace. Make sure he comes to Ci'an Palace as soon as he leaves the court." Seeing that the little palace maid was still motionless, Empress Dowager Li's anger surged again, "Why don't you go quickly!"
"Empress Dowager, please calm down. I'll go right away!" The little palace maid crawled out of Ci'an Palace.
After the court session, Song Shiyan was not in a hurry to leave the palace. He took the initiative to find Song Xuanchu and said, "Your Majesty, did you have questions for me before? I happen to have time today. Please ask whatever you want to ask."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, uncle. Let's go to the imperial study and chat slowly."
The little maid knelt boldly in front of the two men and said, "Your Majesty, your ...
Seeing Song Xuanchu's expression change, the eunuch beside him quickly scolded him, "How dare you, servant! How dare you block the way of the emperor and the prince? How many heads do you have?"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Prince Regent, please forgive me! It was the Empress Dowager who asked me to come here! The Empress Dowager said she had something urgent to discuss with Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please move to Ci'an Palace!"
Song Xuanchu couldn't help but frown, "If my mother has something urgent, why don't you come to me directly?"
It’s not even the morning hour yet, and my mother has gotten up so early?
Mao time: equivalent to 5:7 to : in the morning now.
Song Shiyan understood. It seemed that the poison had taken effect.
"Since the Queen Mother has urgent business, the Emperor should go quickly."
"Then I will go to Ci'an Palace first and discuss this with my uncle another day." Song Xuanchu was very upset after getting on the dragon chariot. What was the Queen Mother doing so early in the morning?
When Song Xuan first entered Ci'an Palace, he was stunned. His mother, who always cared about her image, was sitting on the ground with her head covered and her face dirty.
"You came."
When he saw the other side of Empress Dowager Li's face clearly, Song Xuanchu couldn't help but gasp.
After getting the test result, Song Shiyan went straight back to the palace.
Sure enough, "Mourning" has returned.
"See you, Your Majesty."
"You have done a good job this time. Remember to go find Qin Che to claim your reward. Also, it's your turn to look after the people in the water prison."
"I obey my orders."
He fell into the study and processed all the memorials as quickly as possible. When the emperor's brother was still alive, the old men in the court would always write nonsense on the memorials. The emperor's brother was always annoyed and always complained to him. Once he even classified those memorials together for him to read.
The content is truly speechless.
He made a point of emphasizing this issue after he came to power, so he never saw that nonsense again.
This can save a lot of time.
After all, there were no markings on the pages of nonsense. Who knew which was important and which was waste paper?
You still have to look at them one by one.
The imperial doctors were all summoned to Ci'an Palace, and they all looked troubled after taking the patient's pulse.
"This... the Queen Mother seems to have been poisoned by someone. And there is more than one kind."
Queen Mother Li clenched her fists. Of course she knew more than one.
Her current symptoms and appearance are exactly the same as what Morning had described.
Golden silkworm Gu and formless Gu.
These were all the things she had wanted to tell Chi Tingwan.
Now it's all coming back to her.
She knew that the best way to get rid of the poison as soon as possible was to find the person who had poisoned her.
But Mourning is missing now.
No. To be precise, it was Mo Ning who betrayed her.
The time when she was cursed should be the afternoon when she slept for two hours for no apparent reason.
She was feeling very uneasy that day, and she even called Mo Ning over to ask about the situation.
What kind of calming incense is that? It's obviously a drug that will make her fall into a deep sleep.
She knew that the incubation periods of the Golden Silkworm Gu and the Formless Gu were different. These two kinds of Gu must have been given to her separately.
If the Wuxiang Gu had really been planted that day, her face would have reacted long ago.
Even the date was controlled so accurately. She couldn't think of any other scenario except Mo Ning's betrayal.
Empress Dowager Li left behind an imperial physician who could accurately name the two poisons.
After everyone else was sent away, she finally took off the veil from her face.
Although the imperial physician had prepared himself mentally, he was still shocked when he saw the wrinkled face of Empress Dowager Li.
But after all, he has been a doctor for so many years and has seen many difficult and complicated cases. So he quickly adjusted his mood and said, "It is indeed a Wuxiang Gu. But I have no way to fire you. The best plan now is to find the person who put the Gu in your body as soon as possible."
"But it's not that easy to find the person who put the poison on me. Do you have any way to alleviate the problem?"
The imperial physician hesitated, "This... I'm afraid the Empress Dowager will suffer."
Empress Dowager Li gritted her teeth and said, "Do we need to cut open the wound and take out the poisonous insect?"
The imperial physician was somewhat surprised, "Your Majesty, that is a good idea."
"Are you sure you can get all of them?"
"This... I can only try my best."
The imperial physician made a small incision on Empress Dowager Li's face. Fortunately, the discovery and treatment were timely, and the poisonous insects had not yet multiplied widely.
But when the imperial physician was picking out the poisonous insect, Song Xuanchu still felt a little nauseous.
"I will not disturb the imperial physician from treating my mother. I will go out and wait first." If he stayed any longer, he would definitely vomit.
Looking at his fleeing back, Empress Dowager Li was filled with sadness.
This is her good son.
One, five, ten...
Seeing that the insects were finally caught, the imperial physician heaved a sigh of relief. "There aren't too many grown-up insects yet. But there are some eggs..."
Queen Mother Li closed her eyes and said, "Do your best to clear it."
After roughly "cleaning" the face, the imperial physician spoke hesitantly.
"Your Highness, this Wu Xiang Gu can not only eat the sebum on the face, but can you allow me to see if your arms are affected?"
Mrs. Li decisively lifted up her sleeves.
"The upper part of the Queen Mother's right arm seems to be..."
Before the imperial physician finished speaking, Empress Dowager Li took off her outer garments, and then her underwear.
She finally stopped when she was left with only a bellyband on her upper body.
The imperial physician lowered his eyes and did not dare to look at her.
Empress Dowager Li made up her mind and said, "Take out the one on the arm as well."
After everything was removed, the imperial physician quickly stepped back and said, "We have removed everything visible to the naked eye. However, these poisonous insects have a very strong reproductive capacity, and some of the eggs cannot be removed completely, so..."
"In that case, you will stay in Ai's Ci'an Palace."
The imperial physician showed fear on his face: "I dare not!"
"This is my imperial decree. You cannot refuse it." Empress Dowager Li sneered, "If you are really worried about offending me, then I can also ask the emperor to order you to be sent here after you are dealt with."
It is obvious that this is to make him a eunuch.
The imperial physician trembled all over, "Her Majesty the Queen Mother, please have mercy!"
"As long as you treat me well, I will not kill you. But if you fail to do your job well..." Empress Dowager Li said threateningly.
"I will do my best!"
"In that case, you will stay in Ci'an Palace from now on. I will announce to the public that you have been dealt with."
The imperial physician's eyes turned red. He was not even forty years old, but he was being laughed at for being a eunuch.
But he knew in his heart that if he disobeyed, he would really be punished.
Queen Mother Li smiled and lifted his chin, "Don't worry, as long as you serve me well, I will not treat you unfairly."
The imperial physician, who understood the meaning in the empress dowager's eyes, became even more panicked.
Although the poisonous insects on her face had been almost completely removed, the wrinkles on Empress Dowager Li's face remained unchanged. She thought she smiled charmingly, but she didn't know that in the eyes of the imperial physician, she was more terrifying than a ghost.
"What's your name?"
The imperial physician stammered, "Your humble servant... Yang Shichuan."
"Smile for me."
Yang Shichuan trembled and revealed a smile that was uglier than crying.
Empress Dowager Li slapped him immediately, "Your smile is too ugly!" She was surprised to find that this person's smile was somewhat like the young emperor. This realization made her ecstatic.
