old friends return

"Didn't expect that?" Liu Qingyan straightened her sleeves, "No wonder, after all, you haven't seen me a few times. Sending me to the prince was just to make him more noticed by outsiders, and let him The situation is even more difficult.”

"Do you know what happened to Liu Shangshu's death back then? Three generations of loyal ministers of my Liu family, if I wanted to be greedy, I should have been rich and powerful, and Yan Qi would not have found it out so easily."

"The reason why Yan Qi targeted my father was because he was in the way. You still don't care about it. You have been in this position for so many years and you can't tell the difference between a loyal minister and a villain."

"At that time, my grandmother in the Liu family had not yet had a great funeral, and she was trying to get into trouble. In the final analysis, who should I blame for these things? Why is there no reason to blame him? After Yan Qi's death, my father will be charged with other crimes. There was no room for reversal of the case.”

"If the prince hadn't saved me back then, Huang Quan's grieving ghost would have added me."

"Heh, heh..." Liu Qingyan's mood seemed to be no longer as calm as before.

He has suppressed the anger and resentment for too long, and has always dealt with everything with a calm and even indifferent attitude, but he is really uncomfortable now. If it weren't for the accident three years ago, he should have As an official in the court, he can discuss state affairs with Cheng Muzhi openly and aboveboard, and if there is something wrong, he can also ask his father, why go to this point?

The position of Shangshu should belong to his father.

Why come to this point?

Liu Qingyan said coldly: "Do you know why I burned my grandmother's body back then? Yan Qi guessed that I was a dutiful son, and my parents had no bones left, so I would definitely come back because of my grandmother. Oh, he really thinks that the Liu family is a son What he can control? Even if it is completely destroyed, it is not his turn to dictate."

But it should have been happy, but in the end it couldn't make up for the turmoil of personnel.

"Emperor Hengde? Hehehehahahahahahaha! Are you worthy? If you don't have a benevolent government, don't care about the people, listen to the words of villains and ignore the advice of loyal ministers, you really want to cut off the foundation of the Great Zhou for hundreds of years in your hands." ? You are not even worthy to write an edict of guilt!"

"It's a joy to think about your end today. You don't have any close relatives around you. Those you don't cherish or care about will eventually go away with you. Those you love and love will eventually betray you and even murder you!"

Ever since Emperor Hengde heard what he said later, he no longer made any struggles, but he didn't feel sad in his heart, he just felt afraid that he hadn't sat enough of the position above [-] people, and it was going to end like this?

He still can't let go of this glory and wealth!

He reached out to Liu Qingyan, wanting to write in the palm of his hand, but Liu Qingyan swung it away, "Does your chest hurt?" He pulled out the silver needle that was originally inserted in the Yuzhen acupoint, and Emperor Hengde's whole body shuddered. curled up.

From his belly to his chest, it was as if thousands of poisonous insects were gnawing on him. His originally sallow complexion instantly turned pale with pain, but he couldn't make any sound. He could only roll around on the bed and scratch his stomach uncontrollably.

Liu Qingyan calmed down, and when he raised his head again, his eyes were full of panic. He called out loudly to the people outside, "Eunuch Su! Eunuch Su, come here quickly! Your Majesty is suddenly ill, please send someone to invite the imperial physician!"

He supported Emperor Hengde to sleep well, with a smile on his face, "The imperial doctor couldn't find out what happened to me, and even if they found out, you would have died. Naturally, I have someone to protect me, not to mention the crown prince, Cheng Muze will be in a hurry to help I get out of here."

"What's more, I still have to save my life to seek revenge from Yan Qi."

When Su Wenquan heard what he said, he rushed in immediately, grabbed a little eunuch next to him with trembling hands and asked him to ask for a doctor, and trotted to Emperor Hengde by himself.

Liu Qingyan wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Grandpa Su, what's wrong with the emperor? I had already laid down to rest after taking the medicine, but suddenly..."

Su Wenquan didn't care about him, he helped Emperor Hengde put his whole body on his ear, "What's wrong with you, Your Majesty? Do you have something to say? What's wrong with you?"

He wanted to ask many things, but Emperor Hengde couldn't open his mouth until his death. His eyes moved to look at Liu Qingyan's position, and finally spit out a mouthful of black and purple blood, and he died completely.

The imperial physician had just arrived outside the palace at this time.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he asked Emperor Hengde to take his pulse in front of the other two people with different faces, and finally knelt down with a "plop" and said in a heavy tone: "The emperor became sick from overwork and passed away!"

There was a clatter of kneeling outside, followed by low sobs.

Liu Qingyan turned around, looked at Su Wenquan at the same level, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and was about to leave, but was stopped by Su Wenquan, "Yan Shangshu, you can't leave yet. Forgive me for taking the offense, there were only you and the emperor in the inner palace before." , the matter of the emperor's death, I'm afraid it has nothing to do with you."

Liu Qingyan raised her eyebrows: "Grandpa Su is worrying too much."

"I'm afraid there are more important matters to be dealt with right now. The imperial decree and last edict of the emperor should have been drafted and placed on your side, right?"

"What does this have to do with Yan Shangshu?" Su Wenquan stared at him closely, and said sternly, "Come here! Take Yan Shangshu down, so I can take care of him!"

"Stop!" It was Cheng Muzhi who came in with the voice.

Behind him was Cheng Muxing, who was wearing a soft armor.Su Wen turned cold all over, is this a posture to force the palace?

"Eunuch Su," Cheng Muzhi calmly protected Liu Qingyan behind him, "Now is the time, let's ring the death knell first, after all, it's Guoshang."

Seeing that the two of them didn't look sad at all, Su Wenquan suddenly smiled, "They say that I, Su Wenquan, is the most trustworthy person of Emperor Hengde, yes, after all, I could do it for his eunuch, how could he not trust me?" ?”

The expression on his face was a little out of control, Cheng Muzhi was shocked when he heard his words, just when he thought Su Wenquan would explode, Su Wenquan miraculously calmed down.

"Pang——Pang——" three dull and far-reaching bells sounded, and Emperor Hengde, who had reigned for 21 years, passed away, and the Shunqing reign ended in the 22nd year of Shunqing.

Under the Xuanwu Gate, courtiers and officials in white clothes knelt down together.

In the harem, there is only one concubine Li with the highest rank, not even a concubine.

Kneeling in the first row were Prince Cheng Muzhi, First Prince Cheng Muze, Second Prince Cheng Muxing, and the other young princes and princesses.

Liu Qingyan was in the side hall.

In his life, it is impossible for him to kneel down to anyone other than his parents.

Su Wenquan also changed into plain clothes, holding two imperial decrees in his hands, and walked slowly in front of the crowd. He lowered his eyes to look at the group of kneeling people, and said slowly, "Prince Cheng Muzhi, accept the decree."

Cheng Muzhi replied: "My son accepts the order."
