Three Kingdoms: Ten Times Speed, Diao Chan Says I'm Too Fast

The next morning.

Changqiu Palace.

In the early morning, He Lingsi, dressed in a white silk dress, rose from her phoenix bed. With the help of her maid, Lvliu, she wrapped her slightly protruding belly with a ribbon, and then put on a black phoenix robe that was both slimming and dignified.

"Later, take my token and leave the palace, then bring the medicine back. Remember, you must not let anyone notice."

He Lingsi said to the maid, Green Willow.

Green Willow, who had served He Lingsi closely and for many years, nodded cautiously.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, this servant understands."

Abortion pills would naturally not be available in the palace.

Of course, it was impossible for them to be allocated by the Imperial Medical Academy, so they could only be brought in from outside the palace.

The previous three days were New Year's Day, making it inconvenient to leave the palace.

The three days of New Year's Day have now passed.

The son of this household cannot stay any longer, otherwise he will eventually attract attention.

After everything was ready, Green Willow went out of the palace to fetch the medicine.

He Lingsi waited quietly inside Changqiu Palace.

He Lingsi, leaning against the window of her bedchamber, gazed at the rising sun outside.

There are mixed feelings in my heart.

Gently stroking her lower abdomen.

Just as He Lingsi was staring blankly out the window, Green Willow's anxious voice suddenly came from the direction of the palace gate.

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! Your Majesty, something terrible has occurred! The palace gates are sealed off!"

He Lingsi, who was in a daze, suddenly woke up and looked in the direction of the palace gate.

Green Willow rushed in and immediately knelt on the ground.

Surprised, He Lingsi stood up from the window, her brows furrowed, and asked, "What's wrong? Is the palace gate closed?"

Green Willow, kneeling on the ground, nodded in a panic: "Your Majesty, I was trying to leave through Jiade Gate, but before I could even get out, a large number of Imperial Guards had already sealed off the palace gates."

Forbidden army!

Lock down the palace gates?

He Lingsi's face was filled with shock.

Unless something major happens in the palace, it would be absolutely impossible to easily send the Imperial Guards to seal off the palace gates.

And it was during the day.

Jiade Gate was the main gate leading to the inner palace, where the emperor lived daily.

Even during the Yellow Turban Rebellion last year, at most the Sima Gate was sealed off to prevent anyone from entering or leaving, but the Jiade Gate was not sealed off.

unless.......

Unless something happened at the Jiade Hall.

Emperor.

He Lingsi immediately thought of the emperor.

"Green Willow, go to Jiade Hall immediately to find out what happened, find Zhang Rang and ask him what exactly happened."

"Hurry, go quickly, go quickly!"

He Lingsi looked at Green Willow kneeling on the ground and urged her on.

............

Jiade Hall.

Just after dawn, accompanied by exclamations from inside the Jiade Hall, a large number of imperial guards poured in through the Jiade Gate outside the hall, completely surrounding it.

Jian Shuo, the Imperial Attendant-in-Chief who commanded the palace guards, was wearing armor and had a sword at his waist.

Accompanied by several imperial guards, he walked briskly toward the gate of the Jiade Hall.

Outside the palace gate, a dozen or so eunuchs knelt on the ground, trembling with fear. Their heads were bowed, and their bodies were shaking like leaves.

The same was true as they walked into the palace, where the palace maids were all kneeling on the ground.

In front of the Jiade Palace's sleeping quarters.

Several imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital who remained on duty in the palace knelt in Liu Hong's bedroom.

Meanwhile, Liu Hong, sitting on the dragon bed, had a face as pale as gold paper.

She was barely breathing.

Besides Liu Hong, an elderly woman with gray hair, wearing a black dress, sat next to Liu Hong's dragon bed.

When Jian Shuo walked in, he immediately bowed to the old woman.

"This humble general, Jian Shuo, greets the Empress Dowager."

With tears welling in her eyes, Empress Dowager Dong glanced at Jian Shuo.

However, Liu Hong, lying on the dragon bed, showed no reaction whatsoever.

Confused, Jian Shuo looked at the imperial physician inside the room.

"What's wrong? What's wrong with Your Majesty?"

Upon hearing this, the imperial physician quickly offered an explanation.

"His Majesty felt unwell after waking up this morning, and then sent someone to the Imperial Hospital to inform us."

"We were on our way to take His Majesty's pulse when a eunuch told us that His Majesty had suddenly started vomiting blood and was also suffering from persistent diarrhea."

Jian Shuo turned his head and looked around, seeing the mess in the bedroom.

"Why is that?" Jian Shuo asked.

The imperial physicians exchanged glances.

Then he whispered, "We heard from the palace maids and eunuchs who serve His Majesty that His Majesty felt unwell yesterday, and the Imperial Physician Zhang Feng has already come to examine him."

"It is said that..."

"It seems like..."

"It seems that His Majesty took the jade pill presented by Dong Zhuo, the Commandant of the Capital Region, which caused this."

"And when we examined His Majesty's pulse, it was indeed the case. That jade pill was a potent medicine. His Majesty's body was already weak, and such a potent medicine entering his body caused his qi and blood to collapse, which is why he vomited blood continuously."

Jian Shuo looked at Liu Hong, whose face was as pale as paper, as if he had already breathed his last.

Liu Hong was happy, and he enjoyed the wine.

Over the past ten years, my body has been completely drained, and I need to take some potent drugs every day to satisfy myself.

But after taking it for so long, there have been no problems.

Tamamaru.

Jian Shuo's brows were furrowed.

It must be the problem with that jade pill.

"When will His Majesty be able to wake up?" Jian Shuo asked again.

Upon hearing this, all the imperial physicians lowered their heads and remained silent.

No one dares to answer this question casually.

Given Liu Hong's current condition, it's uncertain when he'll wake up, or even if he'll be able to wake up at all.

At this moment, Empress Dowager Dong, who was sitting next to Liu Hong and had been wiping away tears while wearing a long black dress, spoke.

"It must be that treacherous minister who poisoned His Majesty! Jian Shuo, send men to arrest him immediately!"

"This treacherous minister presented poison to plot against Your Majesty; he deserves to be executed!" Empress Dowager Dong shouted sternly.

Upon hearing Empress Dowager Dong's words, Jian Shuo was taken aback.

He then immediately knelt down to accept the order.

Now that the emperor is in a coma and the harem is without a mistress, the empress dowager should be the most powerful.

Naturally, one must obey the Empress Dowager's orders.

"This humble general will obey the Empress Dowager's instructions."

Jian Shuo, with one hand on the hilt of his sword at his waist, stood up and strode out of the palace.

.............

Changqiu Palace.

Shortly after Green Willow turned back, she returned from outside the Jiade Hall.

And they also brought back news that shocked He Lingsi.

Liu Hong fell seriously ill and was unconscious; all the palace gates were closed.

Empress Dowager Dong personally went to Jiade Hall.

"What did you say? His Majesty vomited blood and fell into a coma after taking the jade pill presented by Dong Zhuo, and Empress Dowager Dong issued an order to arrest Dong Zhuo?" He Lingsi stared wide-eyed at Green Willow kneeling on the ground.

Green Willow nodded hurriedly: "Your Majesty, this information was obtained from Jiade Palace. The Empress Dowager has indeed arrived at Jiade Palace, and His Majesty is still unconscious."

He Lingsi, who was standing still, staggered back two steps and then fell directly onto the soft couch by the window behind her.

The emperor was seriously ill and remained unconscious.

Empress Dowager Dong arrived at Jiade Hall.

this......

She and Empress Dowager Dong had never gotten along.

The main reason was Prince Liu Xie.

Liu Xie's mother was Consort Wang.

After Consort Wang was poisoned by her, Liu Xie was raised by Empress Dowager Dong.

in case.

If, however, it is a hypothetical situation.

If the emperor is truly failing, then if Empress Dowager Dong were to preside over the Jiade Hall...

It goes without saying which new ruler they will support.

How to do!

How to do!

At this moment, He Lingsi's thoughts were in complete disarray.

"Green Willow, go find the eunuch Zuo Feng immediately and tell him that I have something important to discuss with him. Tell him to come to Changqiu Palace right away. Also, do everything you can to send the news from the palace out to my brother."
