Moon Maze Ferry
Chapter 12
But before midnight, the door of Ye Mansion was kicked open.In a daze, Lu Zhanting was dragged from the bed by a group of black armored cavalry.
Ye Huiming wanted to stop him, but the black armored cavalry sneered, "This is the queen's order. If General Ye didn't want to resist the order, he quickly got out of the way."
Lu Zhanting was dragged into the palace in such disheveled clothes, he was dragged all the way into the Palace of Compassion and Tranquility, and was thrown into the main hall.He stood up reluctantly in a daze, and saw Zhuang Zhidie sitting by the side sobbing softly, while the princes of the Eighth Clan were furious.
"What's wrong?"
The eighth prince suddenly drew out his sword, touched Lu Zhanting's neck, and shouted, "Tell me, did Yiren tell you to do this?"
Seeing the shining sword, Lu Zhanting was taken aback for a moment, then smiled lightly and said, "My lord, tell me clearly, what did he ask me to do?"
The princes of the eight sects couldn't stop their anger, and said: "Lu Zhanting, don't think that you are just playing tricks in front of this king just because of your poor reputation!"
"Queen, she hanged herself tonight!" Zhuang Zhidie cried.
Lu Zhanting was taken aback, and blurted out, "How is this possible!"
Prince Bazong yelled: "If it wasn't for the ghost under your needle, why would the Empress Dowager not be clear about her mind, and suddenly hang herself in the middle of the night."
Lu Zhanting regained his composure and said, "The empress dowager suffers from hysteria. I gave her an injection, which should have a calming effect, but there is no guarantee that her condition will suddenly worsen. You should ask why you didn't take good care of her. .”
The Prince of the Eighth Clan was trembling with anger, holding a sword in his hand as if he wanted to chop Lu Zhanting immediately.
"After you gave the needle, the Empress Dowager was indeed quieter. The maid who served her said that the Empress Dowager thought she was disturbing her peace by tossing and turning in the outer room, so she ordered her to sleep outside. Who knew she was in the house... ..." Zhuang Zhidie said sobbing.
Lu Zhanting was full of astonishment, and asked, "Did the imperial physician give any improper medicine?"
Zhuang Zhidie glanced at him complainingly, and said, "We didn't use any of the medicine he gave to the empress dowager. If we used a little, maybe..." She sobbed again as she spoke.
"Are you recruiting or not?"
Lu Zhanting was surprised and upset, and the princes of the eight sects yelled again. He was angry and snorted coldly: "What do you want me to recruit? Haven't you already convicted me?"
Seeing that he dared to talk back, the princes of the eight sects laughed angrily, and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay!" With a swing of his sword, he slashed at Lu Zhanting shamelessly.
Lu Zhanting couldn't help closing his eyes, a gust of sword wind came over, but he didn't cut himself, he was startled when he raised his head, seeing Yiren holding the tip of the sword, he said with a smile: "The princes of the eight sects should at least give me a chance to reply, To convict people like this is unavoidably hasty.”
When Lu Zhanting and the princes of the eight sects saw Yiren's blood sliding down the shiny sword, they couldn't help but feel their hearts jump.
Prince Bazong snorted coldly and withdrew his sword, and said: "Before the empress dowager died, only this kid was given needles, and he died for no apparent reason in the middle of the night. How dare you say it has nothing to do with this kid."
Yiren smiled lightly and said, "I will thoroughly investigate the death of the Empress Dowager. It's just that Lu Zhanting is no longer an imperial physician at the imperial hospital. It is against the rules to ask him to treat the empress dowager."
"Secondly, I came in to see this place just now. There are three floors inside and three floors outside. The Palace of Compassion and Ning is surrounded by eight princes' palaces. I think all the uncles here are well aware that this empress dowager How could it collapse like this without knowing it?"
The face of the eight princes turned red and white, he suffered from being dumb this time, and it was not a small loss. The empress dowager was under his protection, even under his nose, this crime is no small matter.Now Yiren grabbed his painful foot, there was something in his words, he was impatient for a while, but he didn't know how to refute.
Seeing that the blood on Yiren's hand was still dripping down, Lu Zhanting felt a pain in his heart for no reason, and only heard Yiren say indifferently: "Come on, take Lu Zhanting back, I want to interrogate him carefully; also, from today onwards , all people in and out of the Compassionate Palace are not allowed to move around until the cause of the Empress Dowager's death is found out."
In a few words, he not only removed the military power of the eight princes, but also put him under house arrest.
The eight princes were so angry that they were trembling all over, and they almost didn't hold back their anger. They watched Yiren's men unarm his soldiers, and they locked him in the room of the Compassion Ning Palace.
Yi Ren stepped out of the Palace of Compassion and Ning with a smile, Shen Haiyuan said in a low voice: "My lord, don't you want to send them to heaven?"
Yiren said indifferently: "They love to guard the Palace of Compassion and Ning so much, so what's the point of letting them guard it forever."
Shen Haiyuan laughed lightly after hearing this, and said, "Yes."
Lu Zhanting was thrown into the dungeon instead, he looked at the small cubicle and gave a wry smile, thinking that he had some fate with this dungeon.He lay on the haystack, thinking about his stitches, but couldn't figure out why, and finally he simply ignored it, and fell asleep with the hay under his pillow.
Halfway through my sleep, I felt that someone was groping under my clothes, and my neck was being bitten by someone.
He was taken aback, opened his eyes suddenly, half propped up his body, saw Yiren looking at him with a smile, he stammered: "You, what are you doing?"
"Prisoner interrogation." Yiren caressed Lu Zhanting's cool body.
"Then what do you want to ask!" Lu Zhanting frowned.
Yiren blinked and said, "I...want to ask you..." He lowered his head and lightly bit Lu Zhanting's earlobe and said, "I want to ask you, what do you like about me eating you?"
Lu Zhanting looked at him for a while, before saying, "Foot."
Yiren turned his head and smiled, "Are you not happy today?"
Lu Zhanting sighed and fell back into the haystack.
Yi Ren lay beside him and said with a smile: "Unfortunately, I thought you would be more interested if you changed the place."
Yiren twisted his hair and said: "If there is no accident, this month is Kunyue (Note [-]), and the tenth day is the dragon's head. I plan to formally ascend the throne on that day."
Lu Zhanting was taken aback for a moment, then sighed, and said, "Congratulations, you have fulfilled your wish. Didn't you originally want to sit on the throne and be an all-powerful emperor."
Yiren turned sideways and said, "You're wrong!" He kissed Lu Zhanting's face and said calmly, "Before sitting in the mountains and rivers, what I want most is... to occupy Lu Zhanting!"
Lu Zhanting frowned slightly, and Yiren buried his head in his neck and smiled lightly: "What I want most is Lu Zhanting's feelings." He hugged Lu Zhanting tightly, curled up beside him, the bandage he had bandaged Put your hands on Lu Zhanting's chest.
Lu Zhanting looked at Yiren's slightly slender wrist bones and slender fingers, and suddenly his heart moved. He grabbed Yiren's hand, used his own hand to pretend to take two handfuls from his bosom, and then put it on Yiren's hand, saying: " Here, Lu Zhanting's feelings!"
Yiren looked at his palm, he turned his head slowly, and said with a smile: "Remember, you can't promise others lightly what you gave me."
Lu Zhanting was lying there looking up at him, the misty moonlight came in from the small window of the cell, Yiren smiled gently, he seemed to be looking at Lu Zhanting very gently, in the hazy moonlight, his handsome appearance was impressive revel.
No matter what, Lu Zhanting couldn't think of a reason to refuse his kiss, not to mention that he has never been a person who doesn't know how to refuse.
Yiren is a person who distinguishes between public and private, so after some lingering, even though he slept with Lu Zhanting in the cell for one night, he left early the next morning, and Lu Zhanting still stayed in the cell.
At noon, a prisoner brought over rice, some authentic Zhejiang cuisine, West Lake vinegar fish, Dongpo meat, Longjing shrimp, spring bamboo shoots braised in oil, a large bowl of special vegetable soup, and a pot of lukewarm Huadiao.The cell boss also smiled and gave him some books, and changed him into a new quilt.
Lu Zhanting smiled, and read a book all afternoon, and ate two bites of vegetables when he was hungry.
When it was time to light up the lamps at night, the cell boss came to take him out, saying that Dali Temple Minister Li Tong and Master Li were arraigned.Lu Zhanting lost his book and went out with him.
Lu Zhanting saw that Li Tong was sitting at the table in casual clothes, and there were some small dishes on the table, so he couldn't help being taken aback.
"Come, come..." Li Tong smiled and said, "Lord Lu, please."
Although Lu Zhanting was suspicious in his heart, he just smiled and sat beside Li Tong, and the two of them drank wine and ate vegetables one by one, like old friends getting together.If Li Tong didn't mention it, Lu Zhanting also decided not to ask.
After drinking for three rounds, Li Tong sighed and said: "Today I will get together with Mr. Lu, tomorrow I want to get drunk with him again, I don't know what year it will be."
Lu Zhanting put down the cup in his hand, and said lazily: "My lord, if you want to find someone to drink, as long as the head on Zhan Ting's neck is still there, I will definitely accompany you."
Li Tong smiled wryly and said, "Lord Lu, you don't know something. I'm afraid that Li's head will be lost. This next meal of wine will have to wait for the next life."
Lu Zhanting fell silent, he filled the wine for himself, took a couple of sips, and then ate heartily.
Seeing him gobbling up suddenly, Li Tong couldn't help asking: "Lu, Mr. Lu, why are you eating so fast, don't you want to chat more?"
Lu Zhanting filled up the wine for himself again, and said, "I like to eat free meals in this life. My lord's next meal will have to wait for the next life, so I have to eat two more bites in this life."
Li Tong couldn't help but smile bitterly, he knew that Lu Zhanting was a perverse person, now that he had something to ask for from him, he had no choice but to lower his figure, and said, "If Zhanting is willing to help my brother, this next meal won't have to wait until the next life Shall we go?"
Lu Zhanting shook his head again and again, and said with a bitter face: "Brother Li is a first-rank official. He has been the minister of Dali Temple for six years. He is known as the four winds of the four seasons, and he is the number one tumbler in the dynasty. Brother Li can't even secure the position of a small imperial doctor. How can I help my brother."
Li Tong sneered twice, and said: "The world misleads people, and everyone's mouth makes money." He said with a long sigh, and said: "Thinking that I, Li Tong, appointed Tanhua hand-picked by the sage, and was promoted from the seventh-rank county magistrate to the official. The first-rank Dali Temple Minister relies on my dedication to serve the country, I think I am working hard day and night, I am afraid that if I don’t think carefully, I will fail the grace of God.”
Lu Zhanting saw that he sang and composed well, and secretly laughed in his heart.
Unexpectedly, Li Tong approached him and said, "Lord Lu, the empress dowager's death is not only about you and me, but also the empress and the princes of the eight sects. If we don't handle it properly, we will all be punished."
Lu Zhanting drank by himself. Li Tong waited for a long time without hearing from him. He looked around and said in a low voice, "When I was interrogating the maid, I accidentally learned... Queen, she hasn't had her period for two months."
This time Lu Zhanting couldn't help shaking his hands, he put the wine glass on the table, and after a while, he turned his head and looked into Li Tong's eyes and asked, "Are you serious?"
Li Tong smiled wryly, "I lied to you, what are you doing?"
Lu Zhanting was silent for a long time before he asked lightly, "Why did you tell me that I am not a suspect who murdered the Empress Dowager?"
"Because you are Lu Zhanting." Li Tong said with a smile, "If Lu Zhanting knew how to ignore his conscience and follow others, he wouldn't have brought a whip to the Hall of Mental Cultivation alone, whipped the crown prince Yiyu, and saved the tenth prince Yiren."
The corner of Lu Zhanting's mouth twitched, and he said, "You don't need to put a high hat on me, I won't get involved in disputes in the palace."
"But you've already been involved." Li Tong gently lifted the jug to fill up the wine for Lu Zhanting, and said with a smile, "Think about it, all this happened because of you."
"If it weren't for your two whips back then, there would be no King Fulu. He should have been imprisoned by Emperor Shengwu long ago. If there was no King Fulu now, what happened to Emperor Deren would not have happened today. The Empress Dowager is afraid that at this moment I'm still listening to the music for fun, and the queen doesn't have to hide the fact that she is pregnant with a dragon fetus from outsiders."
Lu Zhanting sneered, turned his head and said, "Lord Li really deserves to be the wind of the four seasons, turning round everywhere."
Li Tong sighed, "It's convenient for me to turn around everywhere." He leaned closer to Lu Zhanting, lowered his voice, and said, "Brother Zhanting really believes that there is nothing wrong with the death of the Empress Dowager? Others can't trust Zhanting's medical skills, so I still Believable. Do you think the queen will end up like this?"
He took out a copy from his pocket and put it gently on the table, said: "This is the record of what the queen and the eight princes said, please take a look."
Lu Zhanting took it and flipped it over, his face suddenly changed. Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Li Tong laughed and persuaded him to drink again.
Lu Zhanting drank a lot of wine, but it was difficult to fall asleep while lying on the haystack at night. He tossed and turned until the middle of the night before falling asleep in a daze.
In the dream, it was as if he heard someone crying, only the sound of the wind blowing bamboo leaves in his ears, and the moonlight was shining brightly. He looked for the sound and left, but Zhuang Zhidie was crying with something in his arms.
He knelt down to comfort him, but Zhuang Zhidie suddenly threw the thing in his arms to him, screaming loudly, with disheveled hair like a ghost, but when he lowered his head, he found a bloody dead baby in his arms.Shocked in his heart, he cried out, opened his eyes suddenly, but saw Yiren looking down at him.
"Why did you have a nightmare?" Yi Ren said softly, his hand touched Lu Zhanting's back, the warmth of his palm seemed to dispel the coldness from the bottom of Lu Zhanting's heart.
Lu Zhanting suddenly stretched out his arms to wrap around Yiren, and rolled down with him in the haystack.He pressed down on Yiren fiercely, intersected with him, and eagerly took off his and Yiren's clothes with both hands, as if he was eager to face Yiren naked. The two rolled over in the haystack. Stretching and trying to get closer to each other.
Lu Zhanting's enthusiasm was unprecedented, and he was lingering overnight.Yiren was about to leave before dawn, Lu Zhanting seemed so tired that he didn't respond to Yiren's gentle goodbye in his ear.
Although Yiren hadn't slept all night, he looked energetic, Zong Buguo was waiting outside the court hall, and when he saw Yiren coming over, he hurriedly saluted.
"My lord, I already have a good idea of what you asked me to do, would you like to hear it?" Zong Buguo said with a smile.
Yiren pursed his lips and smiled, without giving any answer, and walked briskly past him, leaving Zong Buguo standing there in a daze.
He approved a few memorials, and suddenly saw Shen Haiyuan coming in with a solemn expression, so he put down his unapproved, and asked with a smile: "Haiyuan, what's the matter?"
Shen Haiyuan pondered for a while, and said: "My lord, Dali Temple News, the case of the Empress Dowager has been clarified."
"Oh?" Yiren said lightly, "What is the conclusion?"
Shen Haiyuan's expression was a little weird: "Lu Zhanting admitted that he used the needle improperly, which caused the empress dowager to go insane and hang herself to death."
As soon as he said this, he saw Yiren's shocked and flustered expression for the only time in his life, and he asked in disbelief, "What did you say?"
Shen Haiyuan cleared his throat, lowered his head, and said, "He did it voluntarily, and Li Tong didn't torture him." He didn't wait for Yiren's response for a long time, so he couldn't help but look up and see that Yiren actually gave Zhu the memorial with his usual expression .
Shen Haiyuan has been with Yiren for nearly ten years, and he knows his temperament well, so he remains silent under the case.
After Yiren finished approving the memorial, got up and went out, he followed Yiren and followed him.
Yiren went directly to the prison as usual, but instead of approaching Lu Zhanting as usual, he stood outside the cell.Shen Haiyuan went in and patted the sleeping Lu Zhanting awake, Lu Zhanting rubbed his sleepy eyes, yawned and turned around.
Yiren looked at him, smiled and said: "Zhanting, I heard that you made a joke with Dali Siqing."
Lu Zhanting smiled, sat cross-legged against the cell wall, and said, "There is such a thing."
"I don't think this is a good joke, do you want to clarify with Dali Siqing?" Yiren sat on the chair brought by Shen Haiyuan and said slowly.
Lu Zhanting yawned, took a piece of grass in his mouth, looked sideways at Yiren, and said indifferently: "This joke is certainly not good, do you want me to joke that you sent someone to kill the empress dowager?"
Yiren smiled and said, "I think this joke is better than yours! It's more like a joke."
Lu Zhanting pulled out the grass root in his mouth, turned his head, looked at him for a long time, and said, "Didn't you kill the Empress Dowager?"
"How do you know that I killed her? Isn't the Compassionate Palace guarded by eight princes and surrounded by three hundred royal guards?" Yiren smiled slightly.
"It's a pity that the leaves in Pusheng's pond are so far away, but if you want to go to the poor and fall to the underworld, you will not see the two places. Whether you see or not, it is all in the heart of the empress dowager." Lu Zhanting said word by word. repeated.
Yiren smiled lightly, and said: "Isn't this a word of comfort, life and death is a kind of regret, but seeing the deceased every night, isn't it what you want in your heart?"
Lu Zhanting looked at Yiren for a long time, saw that his expression was still normal, bit his lips, and said: "Pu Sheng in my pond, the leaf He Lili is made by the empress of Wei. Bai Ling bestowed death on him. The one who went up to Qiongbi and fell to Huangquan, and the two places are invisible is Tang Minghuang Yang Guifei, and this noble concubine was also bestowed to death by Bai Ling."
"You knew that the Empress Dowager likes to read "Yuefu Topics" and you are familiar with the lyrics of these two Yuefu songs, so you deliberately let Wang Shouren seduce her. Not only did you kill her, but you also acted in front of the queen and the princes of the eight sects." , killed her in front of three hundred royal guards!"
Yiren lowered his eyes slightly, remained silent for a long time, then raised his eyes for a while, looked at Lu Zhanting and said softly: "You think too much, but don't worry, I will take care of this matter and nothing will change!" He finished speaking Without waiting for Lu Zhanting to express his opinion, he got up and walked out.
Yiren and Shen Haiyuan didn't go far, they bumped into Dali Temple Minister Li Tong, Yiren smiled and said: "Master Li, I was just looking for you!"
Li Tong hurriedly bowed to Yiren with a smile all over his face, and said, "My lord, I'm about to report to you too!" He leaned forward and said, "Lu Zhanting just confessed his crime, and there is a lot of fuss with the eight princes. Great, some princes also said that since the culprit has been caught, the queen and the eight princes can no longer be imprisoned, do you see?"
Yiren smiled and said, "Then let's go and have a look?"
"Okay, okay!" Li Tong was overjoyed, and followed Yiren to the Compassion Palace.
The armored soldiers stood outside the Compassionate Ning Palace, Li Tong looked at those shiny spearheads, his heart trembled, and he bravely passed through the separated spearheads.
As soon as he stepped into the Palace of Compassion and Peace, a cup-shaped object flew towards him. Li Tong quickly bent down to dodge it. He dodged the flying object, and suddenly remembered that Yiren was standing behind him. He was startled and wanted to stand up to block it. It was already too late.
Yiren just took the flying object lightly, and saw that the Prince of Eighth Clan was losing his temper in the hall, he shouted: "You have no law of the king, dare to imprison this prince for no reason!"
Yiren took the flying teacup, walked in with a smile, and said, "Uncle Huang, Yiren is here to see you!"
Seeing him, the eight princes snorted coldly, sat down on the red sandalwood Eight Immortals chair, closed their eyes and regained their composure.
Yiren smiled and put the teacup on the table and said: "Yiren came this time to accompany the emperor's uncle, and the matter has already begun to take shape, and the emperor's uncle has been wronged here."
After hearing this, Prince Bazong sneered and said, "Don't dare, King Fulu is not what he used to be, he can do whatever he wants, how dare others criticize him."
Yi Ren chuckled a few times, made a long bow in front of him, and said: "It's my nephew, isn't it, my nephew is here to accompany you to the emperor."
Prince Bazong didn't have any bad feelings towards Yiren at first, on the contrary, he had some appreciation for this prince, seeing that he relaxed his posture to accompany him, he felt happy, so he stretched his waist and said: "Oh, I have been sleeping in the past two days. The Compassionate Ning Palace, together with these pigs and sheep, is covered in a stench."
He stood up and saw the court lady helping Zhuang Zhidie come out, and said, "The queen has been wronged for the past two days, you can go back and have a good rest."
Unexpectedly, Yiren said indifferently: "The queen can't leave yet!"
The eight princes turned their heads in a daze, and said, "Why is this?"
Yi Ren said: "Although Lu Zhanting claims to be inexperienced in medicine, there is something strange about it, he is no longer a member of the Tai Hospital, yet he was invited into the palace to be treated by the Supreme Empress Dowager.
"If the Imperial Hospital can't do anything about it, it's fine. No one in the Imperial Hospital consulted the Empress Dowager, and the Empress sent someone to call Lu Zhanting to treat her. Afterwards, she completely ignored the prescription given by the Imperial Physician Wang of the Imperial Hospital. It's puzzling."
"Nonsense, could it be that the empress intends to kill the empress dowager! It is obvious that Lu Zhanting is not good at medical skills, so what does this have to do with the empress?" Prince Bazong said angrily.
Yiren smiled slightly, and said: "Yes or no, let's wait for the new investigation of Dali Temple. It is better to be fair, so that the royal family can not be criticized, otherwise there are so many things that cannot be explained clearly, how will the government and the public think about it?" "
After listening to it for a long time, Li Tong realized that the problem suddenly came back to him. He secretly groaned in his heart, and his back was covered in cold sweat after another.
The eight princes glanced outside, snorted heavily, and walked away.
Li Tong had just swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but Yi Ren had already turned to look at him, saying: "The Queen's reputation is of great importance, Master Li should investigate earlier!"
"Yes, yes!" Li Tong muttered, gave a salute in a panic, and hurried out of the hall.
Yiren looked at Zhuang Zhidie indifferently, neither speaking nor making any movements.
Zhuang Zhidie ordered the maid to step back first, and saw that Yiren was already sitting on a chair, and poured him a cup of tea.
In the past, in Zhuang Zhidie's impression, Yiren was just a beautiful man in the dynasty. When he was brilliant, Zhuang Zhidie was just a young child, so when she became an adult, she didn't have any strong memories of Yiren. a sum.
She pays more and more attention to him, just because the empress dowager and Yiyu pay more and more attention to him and guard against him beyond common sense.
Even so, what impressed her the most was the poisoning incident that happened on Yiyu's birthday eight years ago.
Yiyu ate the glutinous rice dumpling with green fruit presented by the Tenth Prince and suddenly couldn't swallow it. Although the imperial doctor did not know what was going on, Yiyu's condition became more and more serious, and he seemed to be dying.
Although Zhuang Zhidie didn't understand the inside story, it seemed that both the government and the public believed that Yiren had poisoned Prince Yiyu with an unknown poison.
Emperor Shengwu was furious and wanted to imprison Yiren in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and Yiyu was pleading for Yiren, when the queen was crying softly.The courtiers in the court talked to each other, nothing more than to let Yiren rein in the precipice as soon as possible and name the antidote.
Zhuang Zhidie, as the daughter of the queen's favorite relative at that time, was called into the palace to accompany the sad Empress Shengwu.
She stood behind the queen at that time, and secretly looked at Yiren who was kneeling in the center of the court hall. Seeing his expressionless face, it seemed that everything in the chaotic place had nothing to do with her. Upward, even smiling.
If there was no Lu Zhanting that day, I believe Yiren would have left a deep impression on Zhuang Zhidie.
But soon Lu Zhanting appeared, and he revealed the imperial list, claiming that he could cure the prince's illness.
When Lu Zhanting, who was wearing a blue cloth and a black velvet hair cap, appeared in front of everyone, Zhuang Zhidie instinctively felt that Yiren had changed at that time, his eyes suddenly became agile, and Yiyu's eyes also seemed to have changed , became sharper.
Lu Zhanting seemed to ignore any gazes on him, whether they were surprised, suspicious, fierce or pity.
He lifted the red tray he brought, and showed Emperor Shengwu his new healing tool, a green and green vine covered with barbs.
He claimed that this kind of barbed rattan can not only stimulate acupuncture points on the patient's body, but also have medicinal properties that can relax the meridians and unblock the blood.He is willing to guarantee with the head of the item that this whip will definitely cure the prince's strange disease.
Facing Yiyu's vicious stare at him, Lu Zhanting also chose to smile. A mole on his left brow and light-colored lips made his smile reveal an indescribably lazy and indifferent taste.
This smile deepened Zhuang Zhidie's impression because of the next two whips, Yiyu's flying clothes, and the clear whip marks on the exposed skin. At that time, the court suddenly became silent, and no one thought that Lu Zhanting was really whipped Today's prince.
Everyone's facial expressions became extremely weird, only Lu Zhanting was still standing in the hall with a smile.These two lashes really cured Yiyu's hunger strike, so the subsequent commotion was like a farce.
Zhuang Zhidie thought that Yiren and Lu Zhanting must be close friends, which made Lu Zhanting risk his life to save each other, but later learned that Lu Zhanting and Yiren were not even close friends.
What Yiren is closely connected with in Zhuang Zhidie's memory is the scene of Lu Zhanting beating Yiyu, and the others are vague and vague.But now she was asked to face Yi Ren alone, she was a little at a loss.
"Do you know where the Compassion Palace is?" Yiren suddenly broke the silence and asked with a smile.
"Of course it's the empress dowager's bedroom." Zhuang Zhidie straightened up, no matter what, she couldn't lose to Yiren in terms of momentum.
"wrong."
Yiren smiled slightly, turned his face to Zhuang Zhidie, and said: "It's just a place surrounded by high walls, it can be defined as the supreme empress dowager's bedroom, or it can be used as the clan mansion. "
He looked at Zhuang Zhidie, who suddenly changed color, and smiled: "Any dead thing will not have supreme power, such as this Palace of Compassion, in my hands, it may be a palace of the empress dowager, in yours In his hand, it can only be a part of the clan mansion." He put down his teacup and left with a smile.
Zhuang Zhidie only felt dizzy for a while, and her hands and feet were weak. She stretched out her hand to hold the side door beside her, and endured it like this until Yiren's back walked out of the palace door before she collapsed on the ground.
Note [-]: China used to use the "Xia Calendar", and the Kun month refers to the time of September, which is our October to November.
Ye Huiming wanted to stop him, but the black armored cavalry sneered, "This is the queen's order. If General Ye didn't want to resist the order, he quickly got out of the way."
Lu Zhanting was dragged into the palace in such disheveled clothes, he was dragged all the way into the Palace of Compassion and Tranquility, and was thrown into the main hall.He stood up reluctantly in a daze, and saw Zhuang Zhidie sitting by the side sobbing softly, while the princes of the Eighth Clan were furious.
"What's wrong?"
The eighth prince suddenly drew out his sword, touched Lu Zhanting's neck, and shouted, "Tell me, did Yiren tell you to do this?"
Seeing the shining sword, Lu Zhanting was taken aback for a moment, then smiled lightly and said, "My lord, tell me clearly, what did he ask me to do?"
The princes of the eight sects couldn't stop their anger, and said: "Lu Zhanting, don't think that you are just playing tricks in front of this king just because of your poor reputation!"
"Queen, she hanged herself tonight!" Zhuang Zhidie cried.
Lu Zhanting was taken aback, and blurted out, "How is this possible!"
Prince Bazong yelled: "If it wasn't for the ghost under your needle, why would the Empress Dowager not be clear about her mind, and suddenly hang herself in the middle of the night."
Lu Zhanting regained his composure and said, "The empress dowager suffers from hysteria. I gave her an injection, which should have a calming effect, but there is no guarantee that her condition will suddenly worsen. You should ask why you didn't take good care of her. .”
The Prince of the Eighth Clan was trembling with anger, holding a sword in his hand as if he wanted to chop Lu Zhanting immediately.
"After you gave the needle, the Empress Dowager was indeed quieter. The maid who served her said that the Empress Dowager thought she was disturbing her peace by tossing and turning in the outer room, so she ordered her to sleep outside. Who knew she was in the house... ..." Zhuang Zhidie said sobbing.
Lu Zhanting was full of astonishment, and asked, "Did the imperial physician give any improper medicine?"
Zhuang Zhidie glanced at him complainingly, and said, "We didn't use any of the medicine he gave to the empress dowager. If we used a little, maybe..." She sobbed again as she spoke.
"Are you recruiting or not?"
Lu Zhanting was surprised and upset, and the princes of the eight sects yelled again. He was angry and snorted coldly: "What do you want me to recruit? Haven't you already convicted me?"
Seeing that he dared to talk back, the princes of the eight sects laughed angrily, and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay!" With a swing of his sword, he slashed at Lu Zhanting shamelessly.
Lu Zhanting couldn't help closing his eyes, a gust of sword wind came over, but he didn't cut himself, he was startled when he raised his head, seeing Yiren holding the tip of the sword, he said with a smile: "The princes of the eight sects should at least give me a chance to reply, To convict people like this is unavoidably hasty.”
When Lu Zhanting and the princes of the eight sects saw Yiren's blood sliding down the shiny sword, they couldn't help but feel their hearts jump.
Prince Bazong snorted coldly and withdrew his sword, and said: "Before the empress dowager died, only this kid was given needles, and he died for no apparent reason in the middle of the night. How dare you say it has nothing to do with this kid."
Yiren smiled lightly and said, "I will thoroughly investigate the death of the Empress Dowager. It's just that Lu Zhanting is no longer an imperial physician at the imperial hospital. It is against the rules to ask him to treat the empress dowager."
"Secondly, I came in to see this place just now. There are three floors inside and three floors outside. The Palace of Compassion and Ning is surrounded by eight princes' palaces. I think all the uncles here are well aware that this empress dowager How could it collapse like this without knowing it?"
The face of the eight princes turned red and white, he suffered from being dumb this time, and it was not a small loss. The empress dowager was under his protection, even under his nose, this crime is no small matter.Now Yiren grabbed his painful foot, there was something in his words, he was impatient for a while, but he didn't know how to refute.
Seeing that the blood on Yiren's hand was still dripping down, Lu Zhanting felt a pain in his heart for no reason, and only heard Yiren say indifferently: "Come on, take Lu Zhanting back, I want to interrogate him carefully; also, from today onwards , all people in and out of the Compassionate Palace are not allowed to move around until the cause of the Empress Dowager's death is found out."
In a few words, he not only removed the military power of the eight princes, but also put him under house arrest.
The eight princes were so angry that they were trembling all over, and they almost didn't hold back their anger. They watched Yiren's men unarm his soldiers, and they locked him in the room of the Compassion Ning Palace.
Yi Ren stepped out of the Palace of Compassion and Ning with a smile, Shen Haiyuan said in a low voice: "My lord, don't you want to send them to heaven?"
Yiren said indifferently: "They love to guard the Palace of Compassion and Ning so much, so what's the point of letting them guard it forever."
Shen Haiyuan laughed lightly after hearing this, and said, "Yes."
Lu Zhanting was thrown into the dungeon instead, he looked at the small cubicle and gave a wry smile, thinking that he had some fate with this dungeon.He lay on the haystack, thinking about his stitches, but couldn't figure out why, and finally he simply ignored it, and fell asleep with the hay under his pillow.
Halfway through my sleep, I felt that someone was groping under my clothes, and my neck was being bitten by someone.
He was taken aback, opened his eyes suddenly, half propped up his body, saw Yiren looking at him with a smile, he stammered: "You, what are you doing?"
"Prisoner interrogation." Yiren caressed Lu Zhanting's cool body.
"Then what do you want to ask!" Lu Zhanting frowned.
Yiren blinked and said, "I...want to ask you..." He lowered his head and lightly bit Lu Zhanting's earlobe and said, "I want to ask you, what do you like about me eating you?"
Lu Zhanting looked at him for a while, before saying, "Foot."
Yiren turned his head and smiled, "Are you not happy today?"
Lu Zhanting sighed and fell back into the haystack.
Yi Ren lay beside him and said with a smile: "Unfortunately, I thought you would be more interested if you changed the place."
Yiren twisted his hair and said: "If there is no accident, this month is Kunyue (Note [-]), and the tenth day is the dragon's head. I plan to formally ascend the throne on that day."
Lu Zhanting was taken aback for a moment, then sighed, and said, "Congratulations, you have fulfilled your wish. Didn't you originally want to sit on the throne and be an all-powerful emperor."
Yiren turned sideways and said, "You're wrong!" He kissed Lu Zhanting's face and said calmly, "Before sitting in the mountains and rivers, what I want most is... to occupy Lu Zhanting!"
Lu Zhanting frowned slightly, and Yiren buried his head in his neck and smiled lightly: "What I want most is Lu Zhanting's feelings." He hugged Lu Zhanting tightly, curled up beside him, the bandage he had bandaged Put your hands on Lu Zhanting's chest.
Lu Zhanting looked at Yiren's slightly slender wrist bones and slender fingers, and suddenly his heart moved. He grabbed Yiren's hand, used his own hand to pretend to take two handfuls from his bosom, and then put it on Yiren's hand, saying: " Here, Lu Zhanting's feelings!"
Yiren looked at his palm, he turned his head slowly, and said with a smile: "Remember, you can't promise others lightly what you gave me."
Lu Zhanting was lying there looking up at him, the misty moonlight came in from the small window of the cell, Yiren smiled gently, he seemed to be looking at Lu Zhanting very gently, in the hazy moonlight, his handsome appearance was impressive revel.
No matter what, Lu Zhanting couldn't think of a reason to refuse his kiss, not to mention that he has never been a person who doesn't know how to refuse.
Yiren is a person who distinguishes between public and private, so after some lingering, even though he slept with Lu Zhanting in the cell for one night, he left early the next morning, and Lu Zhanting still stayed in the cell.
At noon, a prisoner brought over rice, some authentic Zhejiang cuisine, West Lake vinegar fish, Dongpo meat, Longjing shrimp, spring bamboo shoots braised in oil, a large bowl of special vegetable soup, and a pot of lukewarm Huadiao.The cell boss also smiled and gave him some books, and changed him into a new quilt.
Lu Zhanting smiled, and read a book all afternoon, and ate two bites of vegetables when he was hungry.
When it was time to light up the lamps at night, the cell boss came to take him out, saying that Dali Temple Minister Li Tong and Master Li were arraigned.Lu Zhanting lost his book and went out with him.
Lu Zhanting saw that Li Tong was sitting at the table in casual clothes, and there were some small dishes on the table, so he couldn't help being taken aback.
"Come, come..." Li Tong smiled and said, "Lord Lu, please."
Although Lu Zhanting was suspicious in his heart, he just smiled and sat beside Li Tong, and the two of them drank wine and ate vegetables one by one, like old friends getting together.If Li Tong didn't mention it, Lu Zhanting also decided not to ask.
After drinking for three rounds, Li Tong sighed and said: "Today I will get together with Mr. Lu, tomorrow I want to get drunk with him again, I don't know what year it will be."
Lu Zhanting put down the cup in his hand, and said lazily: "My lord, if you want to find someone to drink, as long as the head on Zhan Ting's neck is still there, I will definitely accompany you."
Li Tong smiled wryly and said, "Lord Lu, you don't know something. I'm afraid that Li's head will be lost. This next meal of wine will have to wait for the next life."
Lu Zhanting fell silent, he filled the wine for himself, took a couple of sips, and then ate heartily.
Seeing him gobbling up suddenly, Li Tong couldn't help asking: "Lu, Mr. Lu, why are you eating so fast, don't you want to chat more?"
Lu Zhanting filled up the wine for himself again, and said, "I like to eat free meals in this life. My lord's next meal will have to wait for the next life, so I have to eat two more bites in this life."
Li Tong couldn't help but smile bitterly, he knew that Lu Zhanting was a perverse person, now that he had something to ask for from him, he had no choice but to lower his figure, and said, "If Zhanting is willing to help my brother, this next meal won't have to wait until the next life Shall we go?"
Lu Zhanting shook his head again and again, and said with a bitter face: "Brother Li is a first-rank official. He has been the minister of Dali Temple for six years. He is known as the four winds of the four seasons, and he is the number one tumbler in the dynasty. Brother Li can't even secure the position of a small imperial doctor. How can I help my brother."
Li Tong sneered twice, and said: "The world misleads people, and everyone's mouth makes money." He said with a long sigh, and said: "Thinking that I, Li Tong, appointed Tanhua hand-picked by the sage, and was promoted from the seventh-rank county magistrate to the official. The first-rank Dali Temple Minister relies on my dedication to serve the country, I think I am working hard day and night, I am afraid that if I don’t think carefully, I will fail the grace of God.”
Lu Zhanting saw that he sang and composed well, and secretly laughed in his heart.
Unexpectedly, Li Tong approached him and said, "Lord Lu, the empress dowager's death is not only about you and me, but also the empress and the princes of the eight sects. If we don't handle it properly, we will all be punished."
Lu Zhanting drank by himself. Li Tong waited for a long time without hearing from him. He looked around and said in a low voice, "When I was interrogating the maid, I accidentally learned... Queen, she hasn't had her period for two months."
This time Lu Zhanting couldn't help shaking his hands, he put the wine glass on the table, and after a while, he turned his head and looked into Li Tong's eyes and asked, "Are you serious?"
Li Tong smiled wryly, "I lied to you, what are you doing?"
Lu Zhanting was silent for a long time before he asked lightly, "Why did you tell me that I am not a suspect who murdered the Empress Dowager?"
"Because you are Lu Zhanting." Li Tong said with a smile, "If Lu Zhanting knew how to ignore his conscience and follow others, he wouldn't have brought a whip to the Hall of Mental Cultivation alone, whipped the crown prince Yiyu, and saved the tenth prince Yiren."
The corner of Lu Zhanting's mouth twitched, and he said, "You don't need to put a high hat on me, I won't get involved in disputes in the palace."
"But you've already been involved." Li Tong gently lifted the jug to fill up the wine for Lu Zhanting, and said with a smile, "Think about it, all this happened because of you."
"If it weren't for your two whips back then, there would be no King Fulu. He should have been imprisoned by Emperor Shengwu long ago. If there was no King Fulu now, what happened to Emperor Deren would not have happened today. The Empress Dowager is afraid that at this moment I'm still listening to the music for fun, and the queen doesn't have to hide the fact that she is pregnant with a dragon fetus from outsiders."
Lu Zhanting sneered, turned his head and said, "Lord Li really deserves to be the wind of the four seasons, turning round everywhere."
Li Tong sighed, "It's convenient for me to turn around everywhere." He leaned closer to Lu Zhanting, lowered his voice, and said, "Brother Zhanting really believes that there is nothing wrong with the death of the Empress Dowager? Others can't trust Zhanting's medical skills, so I still Believable. Do you think the queen will end up like this?"
He took out a copy from his pocket and put it gently on the table, said: "This is the record of what the queen and the eight princes said, please take a look."
Lu Zhanting took it and flipped it over, his face suddenly changed. Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Li Tong laughed and persuaded him to drink again.
Lu Zhanting drank a lot of wine, but it was difficult to fall asleep while lying on the haystack at night. He tossed and turned until the middle of the night before falling asleep in a daze.
In the dream, it was as if he heard someone crying, only the sound of the wind blowing bamboo leaves in his ears, and the moonlight was shining brightly. He looked for the sound and left, but Zhuang Zhidie was crying with something in his arms.
He knelt down to comfort him, but Zhuang Zhidie suddenly threw the thing in his arms to him, screaming loudly, with disheveled hair like a ghost, but when he lowered his head, he found a bloody dead baby in his arms.Shocked in his heart, he cried out, opened his eyes suddenly, but saw Yiren looking down at him.
"Why did you have a nightmare?" Yi Ren said softly, his hand touched Lu Zhanting's back, the warmth of his palm seemed to dispel the coldness from the bottom of Lu Zhanting's heart.
Lu Zhanting suddenly stretched out his arms to wrap around Yiren, and rolled down with him in the haystack.He pressed down on Yiren fiercely, intersected with him, and eagerly took off his and Yiren's clothes with both hands, as if he was eager to face Yiren naked. The two rolled over in the haystack. Stretching and trying to get closer to each other.
Lu Zhanting's enthusiasm was unprecedented, and he was lingering overnight.Yiren was about to leave before dawn, Lu Zhanting seemed so tired that he didn't respond to Yiren's gentle goodbye in his ear.
Although Yiren hadn't slept all night, he looked energetic, Zong Buguo was waiting outside the court hall, and when he saw Yiren coming over, he hurriedly saluted.
"My lord, I already have a good idea of what you asked me to do, would you like to hear it?" Zong Buguo said with a smile.
Yiren pursed his lips and smiled, without giving any answer, and walked briskly past him, leaving Zong Buguo standing there in a daze.
He approved a few memorials, and suddenly saw Shen Haiyuan coming in with a solemn expression, so he put down his unapproved, and asked with a smile: "Haiyuan, what's the matter?"
Shen Haiyuan pondered for a while, and said: "My lord, Dali Temple News, the case of the Empress Dowager has been clarified."
"Oh?" Yiren said lightly, "What is the conclusion?"
Shen Haiyuan's expression was a little weird: "Lu Zhanting admitted that he used the needle improperly, which caused the empress dowager to go insane and hang herself to death."
As soon as he said this, he saw Yiren's shocked and flustered expression for the only time in his life, and he asked in disbelief, "What did you say?"
Shen Haiyuan cleared his throat, lowered his head, and said, "He did it voluntarily, and Li Tong didn't torture him." He didn't wait for Yiren's response for a long time, so he couldn't help but look up and see that Yiren actually gave Zhu the memorial with his usual expression .
Shen Haiyuan has been with Yiren for nearly ten years, and he knows his temperament well, so he remains silent under the case.
After Yiren finished approving the memorial, got up and went out, he followed Yiren and followed him.
Yiren went directly to the prison as usual, but instead of approaching Lu Zhanting as usual, he stood outside the cell.Shen Haiyuan went in and patted the sleeping Lu Zhanting awake, Lu Zhanting rubbed his sleepy eyes, yawned and turned around.
Yiren looked at him, smiled and said: "Zhanting, I heard that you made a joke with Dali Siqing."
Lu Zhanting smiled, sat cross-legged against the cell wall, and said, "There is such a thing."
"I don't think this is a good joke, do you want to clarify with Dali Siqing?" Yiren sat on the chair brought by Shen Haiyuan and said slowly.
Lu Zhanting yawned, took a piece of grass in his mouth, looked sideways at Yiren, and said indifferently: "This joke is certainly not good, do you want me to joke that you sent someone to kill the empress dowager?"
Yiren smiled and said, "I think this joke is better than yours! It's more like a joke."
Lu Zhanting pulled out the grass root in his mouth, turned his head, looked at him for a long time, and said, "Didn't you kill the Empress Dowager?"
"How do you know that I killed her? Isn't the Compassionate Palace guarded by eight princes and surrounded by three hundred royal guards?" Yiren smiled slightly.
"It's a pity that the leaves in Pusheng's pond are so far away, but if you want to go to the poor and fall to the underworld, you will not see the two places. Whether you see or not, it is all in the heart of the empress dowager." Lu Zhanting said word by word. repeated.
Yiren smiled lightly, and said: "Isn't this a word of comfort, life and death is a kind of regret, but seeing the deceased every night, isn't it what you want in your heart?"
Lu Zhanting looked at Yiren for a long time, saw that his expression was still normal, bit his lips, and said: "Pu Sheng in my pond, the leaf He Lili is made by the empress of Wei. Bai Ling bestowed death on him. The one who went up to Qiongbi and fell to Huangquan, and the two places are invisible is Tang Minghuang Yang Guifei, and this noble concubine was also bestowed to death by Bai Ling."
"You knew that the Empress Dowager likes to read "Yuefu Topics" and you are familiar with the lyrics of these two Yuefu songs, so you deliberately let Wang Shouren seduce her. Not only did you kill her, but you also acted in front of the queen and the princes of the eight sects." , killed her in front of three hundred royal guards!"
Yiren lowered his eyes slightly, remained silent for a long time, then raised his eyes for a while, looked at Lu Zhanting and said softly: "You think too much, but don't worry, I will take care of this matter and nothing will change!" He finished speaking Without waiting for Lu Zhanting to express his opinion, he got up and walked out.
Yiren and Shen Haiyuan didn't go far, they bumped into Dali Temple Minister Li Tong, Yiren smiled and said: "Master Li, I was just looking for you!"
Li Tong hurriedly bowed to Yiren with a smile all over his face, and said, "My lord, I'm about to report to you too!" He leaned forward and said, "Lu Zhanting just confessed his crime, and there is a lot of fuss with the eight princes. Great, some princes also said that since the culprit has been caught, the queen and the eight princes can no longer be imprisoned, do you see?"
Yiren smiled and said, "Then let's go and have a look?"
"Okay, okay!" Li Tong was overjoyed, and followed Yiren to the Compassion Palace.
The armored soldiers stood outside the Compassionate Ning Palace, Li Tong looked at those shiny spearheads, his heart trembled, and he bravely passed through the separated spearheads.
As soon as he stepped into the Palace of Compassion and Peace, a cup-shaped object flew towards him. Li Tong quickly bent down to dodge it. He dodged the flying object, and suddenly remembered that Yiren was standing behind him. He was startled and wanted to stand up to block it. It was already too late.
Yiren just took the flying object lightly, and saw that the Prince of Eighth Clan was losing his temper in the hall, he shouted: "You have no law of the king, dare to imprison this prince for no reason!"
Yiren took the flying teacup, walked in with a smile, and said, "Uncle Huang, Yiren is here to see you!"
Seeing him, the eight princes snorted coldly, sat down on the red sandalwood Eight Immortals chair, closed their eyes and regained their composure.
Yiren smiled and put the teacup on the table and said: "Yiren came this time to accompany the emperor's uncle, and the matter has already begun to take shape, and the emperor's uncle has been wronged here."
After hearing this, Prince Bazong sneered and said, "Don't dare, King Fulu is not what he used to be, he can do whatever he wants, how dare others criticize him."
Yi Ren chuckled a few times, made a long bow in front of him, and said: "It's my nephew, isn't it, my nephew is here to accompany you to the emperor."
Prince Bazong didn't have any bad feelings towards Yiren at first, on the contrary, he had some appreciation for this prince, seeing that he relaxed his posture to accompany him, he felt happy, so he stretched his waist and said: "Oh, I have been sleeping in the past two days. The Compassionate Ning Palace, together with these pigs and sheep, is covered in a stench."
He stood up and saw the court lady helping Zhuang Zhidie come out, and said, "The queen has been wronged for the past two days, you can go back and have a good rest."
Unexpectedly, Yiren said indifferently: "The queen can't leave yet!"
The eight princes turned their heads in a daze, and said, "Why is this?"
Yi Ren said: "Although Lu Zhanting claims to be inexperienced in medicine, there is something strange about it, he is no longer a member of the Tai Hospital, yet he was invited into the palace to be treated by the Supreme Empress Dowager.
"If the Imperial Hospital can't do anything about it, it's fine. No one in the Imperial Hospital consulted the Empress Dowager, and the Empress sent someone to call Lu Zhanting to treat her. Afterwards, she completely ignored the prescription given by the Imperial Physician Wang of the Imperial Hospital. It's puzzling."
"Nonsense, could it be that the empress intends to kill the empress dowager! It is obvious that Lu Zhanting is not good at medical skills, so what does this have to do with the empress?" Prince Bazong said angrily.
Yiren smiled slightly, and said: "Yes or no, let's wait for the new investigation of Dali Temple. It is better to be fair, so that the royal family can not be criticized, otherwise there are so many things that cannot be explained clearly, how will the government and the public think about it?" "
After listening to it for a long time, Li Tong realized that the problem suddenly came back to him. He secretly groaned in his heart, and his back was covered in cold sweat after another.
The eight princes glanced outside, snorted heavily, and walked away.
Li Tong had just swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but Yi Ren had already turned to look at him, saying: "The Queen's reputation is of great importance, Master Li should investigate earlier!"
"Yes, yes!" Li Tong muttered, gave a salute in a panic, and hurried out of the hall.
Yiren looked at Zhuang Zhidie indifferently, neither speaking nor making any movements.
Zhuang Zhidie ordered the maid to step back first, and saw that Yiren was already sitting on a chair, and poured him a cup of tea.
In the past, in Zhuang Zhidie's impression, Yiren was just a beautiful man in the dynasty. When he was brilliant, Zhuang Zhidie was just a young child, so when she became an adult, she didn't have any strong memories of Yiren. a sum.
She pays more and more attention to him, just because the empress dowager and Yiyu pay more and more attention to him and guard against him beyond common sense.
Even so, what impressed her the most was the poisoning incident that happened on Yiyu's birthday eight years ago.
Yiyu ate the glutinous rice dumpling with green fruit presented by the Tenth Prince and suddenly couldn't swallow it. Although the imperial doctor did not know what was going on, Yiyu's condition became more and more serious, and he seemed to be dying.
Although Zhuang Zhidie didn't understand the inside story, it seemed that both the government and the public believed that Yiren had poisoned Prince Yiyu with an unknown poison.
Emperor Shengwu was furious and wanted to imprison Yiren in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and Yiyu was pleading for Yiren, when the queen was crying softly.The courtiers in the court talked to each other, nothing more than to let Yiren rein in the precipice as soon as possible and name the antidote.
Zhuang Zhidie, as the daughter of the queen's favorite relative at that time, was called into the palace to accompany the sad Empress Shengwu.
She stood behind the queen at that time, and secretly looked at Yiren who was kneeling in the center of the court hall. Seeing his expressionless face, it seemed that everything in the chaotic place had nothing to do with her. Upward, even smiling.
If there was no Lu Zhanting that day, I believe Yiren would have left a deep impression on Zhuang Zhidie.
But soon Lu Zhanting appeared, and he revealed the imperial list, claiming that he could cure the prince's illness.
When Lu Zhanting, who was wearing a blue cloth and a black velvet hair cap, appeared in front of everyone, Zhuang Zhidie instinctively felt that Yiren had changed at that time, his eyes suddenly became agile, and Yiyu's eyes also seemed to have changed , became sharper.
Lu Zhanting seemed to ignore any gazes on him, whether they were surprised, suspicious, fierce or pity.
He lifted the red tray he brought, and showed Emperor Shengwu his new healing tool, a green and green vine covered with barbs.
He claimed that this kind of barbed rattan can not only stimulate acupuncture points on the patient's body, but also have medicinal properties that can relax the meridians and unblock the blood.He is willing to guarantee with the head of the item that this whip will definitely cure the prince's strange disease.
Facing Yiyu's vicious stare at him, Lu Zhanting also chose to smile. A mole on his left brow and light-colored lips made his smile reveal an indescribably lazy and indifferent taste.
This smile deepened Zhuang Zhidie's impression because of the next two whips, Yiyu's flying clothes, and the clear whip marks on the exposed skin. At that time, the court suddenly became silent, and no one thought that Lu Zhanting was really whipped Today's prince.
Everyone's facial expressions became extremely weird, only Lu Zhanting was still standing in the hall with a smile.These two lashes really cured Yiyu's hunger strike, so the subsequent commotion was like a farce.
Zhuang Zhidie thought that Yiren and Lu Zhanting must be close friends, which made Lu Zhanting risk his life to save each other, but later learned that Lu Zhanting and Yiren were not even close friends.
What Yiren is closely connected with in Zhuang Zhidie's memory is the scene of Lu Zhanting beating Yiyu, and the others are vague and vague.But now she was asked to face Yi Ren alone, she was a little at a loss.
"Do you know where the Compassion Palace is?" Yiren suddenly broke the silence and asked with a smile.
"Of course it's the empress dowager's bedroom." Zhuang Zhidie straightened up, no matter what, she couldn't lose to Yiren in terms of momentum.
"wrong."
Yiren smiled slightly, turned his face to Zhuang Zhidie, and said: "It's just a place surrounded by high walls, it can be defined as the supreme empress dowager's bedroom, or it can be used as the clan mansion. "
He looked at Zhuang Zhidie, who suddenly changed color, and smiled: "Any dead thing will not have supreme power, such as this Palace of Compassion, in my hands, it may be a palace of the empress dowager, in yours In his hand, it can only be a part of the clan mansion." He put down his teacup and left with a smile.
Zhuang Zhidie only felt dizzy for a while, and her hands and feet were weak. She stretched out her hand to hold the side door beside her, and endured it like this until Yiren's back walked out of the palace door before she collapsed on the ground.
Note [-]: China used to use the "Xia Calendar", and the Kun month refers to the time of September, which is our October to November.
