Cannon Fodder's Struggle History

Chapter 19 Returning the Pearl 19

Wu Shulai was frightened out of his wits, he stepped forward to support Qianlong tremblingly, and shouted sharply: "Hurry up and announce the imperial doctor!!!"

Qianlong was still a little sane, and his heart sank, he stretched out his hand and squeezed his throat, with a "wow", he spit out a lot of black blood mixed with the tea he drank earlier, he couldn't die, at least, he didn't die like this.

The empress only watched Qianlong's movements with cold eyes, and carefully wiped off the blood stains on her face with the handkerchief in her hand, looking at the blood-stained handkerchief with some pity, and casually discarded it at her feet.

He won't survive tonight, and she has already treated the whole Kunning Palace like an iron bucket, those people can't get out at all!

To the queen's surprise, the imperial doctor arrived. The queen was taken aback, and the expression on her face was slightly cracked.

When the imperial doctor saw the situation in the room, his legs almost went limp.No matter how much he dared to delay, he immediately checked Qianlong's pulse, and when he put his hand on it, cold sweat immediately fell down. This is clearly poisoned, and it is a poison that has no cure.

Pricking the acupoints with golden needles, although some poison was forced out, but the poison had already entered the internal organs, and the body was clearly exhausted.

Qianlong woke up leisurely, the imperial doctor immediately knelt down on the ground, pleading guilty again and again, they knew that this time, the whole imperial hospital might be buried with him.

Paying no attention to the imperial doctor kneeling on the ground, Qianlong only glanced at the dazed queen, and his heart ached even more.

My own thoughts would be noticed by the queen. So, it has reached the point where it is difficult to hide?

What lingers in his mind is the young man smiling at him. It's really strange that Qianlong has a feeling of loosening up after he has already stepped into the gate of hell.

Falling in love with his own child, this cognition weighed heavily on Qianlong's heart, like a heavy shackle on his shoulders, his nerves were tense, and he knew it himself, and he really expressed this love with his mouth, Then this unethical love will destroy the eternal love that he regards as a treasure.

It looks like this...

Qianlong let out a sigh of relief, and asked feebly, "How many days do I have left?"

"Going back to the Long Live Lord... There is still half a month." Several imperial doctors were almost crying, and the leading one said stumblingly.

"Half a month..." With a sigh, Qianlong's eyes were obscured, and his eyes fell on the empress, wanting to execute the empress immediately.

Did she know that such a way of killing the emperor, and her mother-in-law murdered her Ama, how would Yongxi deal with herself?

Closing his eyes, Qianlong ordered weakly: "Wu Shulai, block the news. If there is any leak, I only ask you. The empress speaks rudely and collides with me. I will be banned for half a year."

Wu Shulai was stunned for a moment, he couldn't believe his ears, and then he realized it, and immediately arranged to make arrangements to keep this news firmly under wraps.

Shock flashed in the Queen's eyes, she pursed her lips, straightened her back, followed the little eunuch leading the way out of the palace gate, and returned to her dormitory.The sleeping hall has been surrounded all around, and it is difficult for even a fly to fly in.

"Come here, draw up the decree..." Qianlong said with difficulty, and in the end, that was all he could do for Yongzheng.

The sky turned white, and Yongzheng picked out a robe with a dark blue auspicious pattern. After being washed by a court lady, he was thinking of going to pay his respects to the queen, but Wu Shulai hurried over, saying that he was summoned by Qianlong.

Yongzhen was a little puzzled, and followed Wu Shulai into the Hall of Mental Cultivation. When he saw Qianlong, his heart skipped a beat, and he hadn't seen him for a day. Qianlong seemed to have lost his vitality, his cheeks were swollen badly, but with It is a gray color, there are some red marks in the corners of the eyes, and it turns out to be blood if you look closely, and your lips have a disturbing purple color.

He almost forgot to greet Qianlong, and ran to Qianlong in a big stride, full of panic: "Huang Ama, what's wrong with you?"

Qianlong was served by a court lady and slowly drank the soup. Hearing Yongzhen's eager voice, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, coughed twice, and said with difficulty: "It's nothing, I have a little illness."

"Huang Ama, you will get better." Yongzhen couldn't help but trembled, tears fell on the bed, and fainted a small circle of water.

Feeling pain in Qianlong's heart, he raised his hand and wiped Yongzheng's eyes. The wet water droplets stained his fingers, and the eyes moistened by tears became more and more clear. His whole body was imprinted in it, and he couldn't help comforting: Don't cry, follow Huang Ama to court later."

"Yes, Huang Ama." Yongzhen carefully supported Qianlong, feeling that most of Qianlong's body was leaning on him, and he was very anxious. What happened?

Outside the Qianqing Palace, officials at all levels stood on the stone slabs, waiting for the start of the Great Court Assembly.The ministers who were acquainted with each other said a few words from time to time, and there was a sharp edge hidden in the words.

Although Fu Heng looked normal, he felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart. After running the business for so long, he naturally had his own source of information, not to mention that Empress Xiaoxian was his sister, and the power hidden in the palace was also very important.There was a change in the palace yesterday, but the news I got was not very clear. It only said that the queen was grounded.

At this time, the head steward, who was dressed as an eunuch, walked out of the hall with his whip. After three whistles, the officials immediately quieted down, stood respectfully, and filed into the hall.

A moment later, the bright yellow figure of Emperor Qianlong came in with a young man, and everyone hurriedly saluted. After they were flattened, their hearts moved. This is the twelfth elder brother. What does it mean that the emperor personally led the twelve elder brothers to court?Could it be that he wants to arrange an errand for Brother Twelve.

From this it can be seen that Elder Brother Twelve has an extraordinary position in the heart of the emperor.

Fu Heng had already seen Qianlong's expression in his eyes, and felt cold all over his body.The originally rosy and healthy face turned pale, and what surprised him the most was the light purple color on Qianlong's lips, which was clearly a symptom of poisoning.

Could it be that the emperor is dying?

Thinking of this, Fu Heng shivered violently.

Qianlong didn't know what these ministers were thinking. He gasped for breath, and breathed air into his lungs. He actually felt the pain in his lungs like a needle prick. He reluctantly raised his hand and said in a hoarse voice: "Wu Shulai, declare the edict .”

After finishing speaking, he leaned back on the dragon chair uncomfortably, his time was running out, for the sake of Yongzheng, he had to finish the remaining tasks as quickly as possible, and send Yongzheng to this supreme position.

Yongzhen, who was standing aside, immediately supported Qianlong, a look of worry flashed in his eyes.Something must have happened to Kunning Palace last night, but he couldn't find out, and Qianlong was poisoned. Although the imperial physician tried his best to rescue him, he still had half a month to live at most.

Yongzhen suppressed the thoughts in his heart and paid attention to Qianlong all the time, feeling a little depressed and uncomfortable in his heart.

The entire court was quiet, only Wu Shulai's voice was reading the edict unhurriedly, and those ministers were already dumbfounded.

This, this turned out to be an imperial edict from the Twelve Elder Brothers in the Zen position!

These officials couldn't believe their ears, the emperor was an upright man, how could he have any plans to abdicate, and besides, he was still the twelfth elder brother!

After Wu Shulai read the last sentence, he sighed inwardly.I didn't expect Long Live Lord to really fall into it.For the sake of Elder Brother Twelve, even the Empress was saved.

"Five days later, the ceremony for the Zen position will be held!" Qianlong left such a sentence and ordered people to retreat. His body could no longer allow him to deal with political affairs, but he felt very tired after sitting for such a short time.

Such a news, like a thunderbolt, shocked all the ministers to the point of being speechless.

Not only the ministers, but even Yongzheng were stunned.

"Huang Ama..." Yongzhen supported Qianlong's arm, and after Qianlong lay down, he pulled up the quilt again, looked at Qianlong's dark face, and swallowed what he wanted to say.

He took the medicine juice brought by Wu Shulai and carefully fed it to Qianlong. After Qianlong finished drinking the medicine, he carefully wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief.The whole process was meticulous and gentle, with a lot of patience.

"Yongzhen, I imprisoned the queen for half a year, do you complain or not?" Qianlong finally had some strength, and he took Yongzhen's hand with great effort, his eyes fell on Yongzhen, and he didn't even say anything.

Yong Xin was startled when he heard this, his whole brain went blank, and a sluggish expression appeared on his handsome face.Subconsciously, he immediately connected Qianlong's poisoning with the empress.

"It's... the empress's mother?" His mouth moved, and Yong Xin's voice was light and ethereal, almost shattering in the air.But if the Queen's Lady was poisoned, how could Qianlong avoid the Queen's Lady's life?I was puzzled in my heart.

"..." Qianlong didn't say a word, he was afraid that after he said it, Yongzhen would ask the bottom line and find out what was going on in his mind.In Yong Xin's view, this silence is tacit consent.

"Huang Ama, if Erniang has done something wrong, I am willing to resist my life, and beg Huang Erniang to let her go." Yongzhen bent his knees and knelt in front of Qianlong.When he came here and opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was the queen, like a chick seeing it for the first time, which made the queen have an extraordinary position in his heart.What's more, the queen loves him to the bottom of his heart, so he is naturally very grateful to the queen, especially, he still occupies the body of the queen's son, which makes him feel guilty towards the queen in his heart.

Although Qianlong was very kind to him later, for Yongzhen, it was more because of Qianlong's status as emperor that he had to carefully please Qianlong. In his heart, he was much worse than the queen.

After hearing what Yongzhen said, Qianlong suddenly laughed, his bright eyes quickly dimmed, and his laughter was full of self-deprecating and inexplicable pain.

It turns out that from the beginning to the end, in Yongzhen's mind, he was nothing more than that, not even the slightest bit compared to the queen. For the queen, are you so desperate?As long as the Zen ceremony is completed, you will be in the Qing Dynasty. Even the emperor's position is not as important as the queen's life?

Qianlong was a little sad, and suddenly felt, why did he die at the moment when the queen poisoned him?It's almost winter, no wonder it's so cold, it's so cold that I feel like my bones are frozen.

"Wu Shu is here, take Elder Brother Twelve back." Qianlong said the words calmly, and waved his hands weakly.

Even so, he still wanted to see Yong Xin wearing the five-clawed dragon robe and sitting on the supreme seat.

Looking at such a depressed and lonely Qianlong, Yongzheng opened his mouth, but no sound came out of it, it was extremely dry.

He knew that he had broken Qianlong's heart.

Quietly glanced at Qianlong who was lying on the bed, Yongxin saluted and left.

Sitting blankly on the huanghuali chair, the light has changed from bright to dim, with an orange color, the whole bedroom is quiet, and Yong Xin can even hear his own heartbeat clearly.

He didn't know why things turned out like this, obviously everything was fine, the emperor and empress were in harmony, and he gradually became Qianlong's favorite child.

It's just that now, he also has a feeling of not knowing what to do. He can't see the queen's face, and he is worried in his heart. He begs to see Qianlong, but he is also blocked by the guards.

Myself, this must be under confinement.With a wry smile, Yongzhen was worried about the safety of the empress and Qianlong's body. This complicated mind actually made him sleepless.

Sighed, that's all, the big deal is death.

The Zen throne ceremony and enthronement ceremony were held together, and Qianlong only gave five days. The Ministry of Rituals was so busy that they could not wait for one person to split it into two people. The same is true for the House of Internal Affairs. Hats, court beads, accessories...

The people in the palace were also busy, and the forgotten fifth elder brother was also a little fussy at this time. When he was awake, he just learned that Qianlong wanted to give the twelfth elder brother the seat of Zen, and that he had become a lame man. To go crazy and make a scene.

The guards reported the incident to Qianlong. Qianlong was in a depressed mood, so he didn't care about the fifth elder brother. He only ordered the fifth elder brother to be imprisoned in Jingyang Palace to recuperate. he comes out.

Resisting the urge to see Yong Xing, the day of the Zen ceremony soon came.God is very good at face, the sky is clear without a trace of cloud, as if it has been washed, the blue is transparent, the golden sun hangs high in the sky, the bells and drums on the Meridian Gate are beeping, and the great music of Danbi is playing.

And Yongzheng finally saw Qianlong again, and Qianlong was getting worse at this time, his whole body was very thin, and the dragon robe looked empty on his body, but his eyes were amazingly bright.

The whole ceremony was carried out meticulously according to the rules, and finally Qianlong took out the jade seal with great effort, exerted all his strength, controlled his arms not to tremble so much, and handed the jade seal to Yongzheng's hand tremblingly.

Yongzhen's nose was sore, and for some reason, his eyes were red. When he took the jade seal, he grabbed Qianlong's wrist and called out softly: "Huang Ama..."

"Yongzhen, be a good emperor." Qianlong tugged at the corner of his mouth, revealing a gratified smile.

The child in front of him is actually so tall. Wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, he is as tall and straight as a bamboo, and his every move has a noble and coquettish demeanor. His child, when he is not paying attention, has He has the tolerance that a superior should have.

"I will, Huang Ama." Yongzheng felt extremely guilty towards Qianlong in his heart, his voice choked with sobs.

"Go, Huang Ama is going to rest." Qianlong patted Yongzheng's hand with a smile, a bloody smell surged up from his chest, his Adam's apple slipped, and he swallowed fiercely.This is the time for Yongxin to ascend the throne, he must not fall like this.

"My son is with you." Yongzheng was very blocked in his heart.

"After your enthronement ceremony is over, come to accompany Huang Ama. Huang Ama is tired, so let's take care of your spirit first." Qianlong comforted Yongxi.

Yong Xing went to Qianqing Palace step by step, where he would continue his enthronement ceremony.

Qianlong closed his eyes wearily, as if he heard the voice of the minister shouting long live, it must be Yongzheng who was accepting the worship of the ministers.

Imagining Yongzheng wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and sitting on a dragon chair, Qianlong smiled slightly, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, which was shocking.

Wu Shulai put his finger on Qianlong's nose tremblingly, without breath.

"The Supreme Emperor is dead!"
