Survival countdown
Chapter 89
There was silence in the hall, and Zhao Baiyu's reflection was only fleeting. After speaking, he became unconscious, his face was like gold paper, his lips were pale, and he was dying.
Huo Jingtang touched Zhao Baiyu's hand cautiously, and said hoarsely, "Save him..."
Huo Jingtang raised his eyes, his eyes were red, filled with unobstructed pain, and his emotions were tense to the extreme. Those who looked at him had no doubt that he would collapse soon.
"At all costs, I beg you to save Xiao Lang!"
The imperial doctor opened his mouth, opened and closed a few times, but failed to make a sound. He raised his head and glanced at Emperor Yuanshou, Huo Jingtang, and the civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty who surrounded him. The shock, anxiety and remorse that came from unknown reasons appeared on their faces. color is particularly pronounced.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, this little Master Zhao's words touched the hearts of all civil and military officials in the court, even the imperial censor who had different political opinions and often sternly denounced Zhao Baiyu in temples and gatherings expressed his concern for killing three hundred officials without orders. Not to mention the rest.
Ouchi has been walking for 30 years, and this scene is really unprecedented. Even the political opponents who criticized Mr. Zhao were overwhelmed by his character.
The problem is that Mr. Zhao obviously has no desire to survive now, and he doesn't know what happened to him. Could it be that he feels guilty after beheading three hundred officials?
The imperial doctor had mixed thoughts, and was soon overwhelmed by a series of medical methods on how to treat Zhao Baiyu. He asked someone to cook a bowl of century-old wild ginseng soup to hang Zhao Baiyu's breath, and then looked at his abdomen, holding the yuan The hunting emperor's menacing gaze, the murderous aura exuding from Huo Jingtang's body, and the scorching gaze of all court officials behind him, kept wiping the cold sweat from the palms of his hands.
"We can't delay for too long. There is no heavy bleeding right now, so it may not be possible to pull out the knife once. So when pulling out the knife, you must be fast and steady, and then quickly sprinkle the medicine to stop bleeding. Device, if the hemostatic effect of the medicine is not as fast as the bleeding speed, I'm afraid..."
"Stop talking!" Emperor Yuan Shou scolded angrily, and looked at the eunuch again: "Go and bring all the best hemostatic powder in the palace and the medicinal materials for lifting life!"
The eunuch nodded again and again: "Old slave, let someone take it!" After saying that, he quickly withdrew.
Zhao Changfeng recommended himself: "I know by heart that running will be faster."
The eunuch was also very anxious, and Zhao Changfeng carried the medicine on his back without much hesitation, which was much faster than trotting by him.
As for this head, according to the imperial physician's instructions, Emperor Yuan Shou laid Zhao Baiyu flat on the ground, and when the imperial physician wiped his hands and was about to hold the handle of the knife, Huo Jingtang said, "I'll draw the knife."
The imperial doctor was stunned for a moment, no one in the palace held the knife more steadily than Xiaojun Wang, but can he do it?
Healers don't heal themselves, and the king of the small county who kills people with a knife is like cutting vegetables and melons. He personally draws the knife for his little man, won't his heart tremble?If something happened, wouldn't he blame himself for Mr. Zhao's death afterwards?
Even though he was thinking about it, the imperial physician still stepped aside. After all, he really wasn't sure enough to hold the knife firmly, and no matter how unstable Huo Jingtang's mood was, the muscle memory in his arm could support him to hold the knife handle firmly.
Huo Jingtang glanced at Zhao Baiyu, suddenly moved his hand, and there was a muffled sound, the knife fell away from the skin and fell to the ground, and his hand shaking uncontrollably.
The imperial doctor poured Zhixue powder quickly, and the powder was washed down by the gurgling blood, and he had to pour bottle after bottle until the powder covered the blood and the ugly wound, and the amount of bleeding gradually decreased until it stopped, and the ground had already scattered seven to eight medicine bottle.
"Go back to your majesty, go back to your majesty, and wait for an hour to pour some ginseng soup to hang your breath. After the blood flow is completely stable, do sutures. Now put Mr. Zhao in a safe place with few people, for fear of high fever next time." Don't retreat, so someone must keep an eye on Mr. Zhao, wipe the body with wine to cool down, and pay attention to the wound inflammation." The imperial physician cupped his hands.
Emperor Yuanshou: "Clean up the Nuan Pavilion, arrange for Zhao Qing to live in it, and order the court ladies, eunuchs, and imperial physicians to guard day and night. Whoever dares to delay Zhao Qing's life will be killed on the spot!"
The Nuan Pavilion is just behind the Zichen Hall, the closest, suitable for Zhao Baiyu who is inconvenient to move around.The eunuch and Zhao Changfeng also rushed back at this time, and fed Zhao Baiyu the more effective Qi Buqi pills, and the imperial doctor took the opportunity to suture his wound, so that Zhao Baiyu would not open the wound again during the jolt.
Zhao Baiyu was sent to the Nuan Pavilion, and passed through this life-and-death tribulation in a coma, Huo Jingtang accompanied him day and night, went out to find Zhao Boyong during the period, talked to him on the palace road, and then returned to the Nuan Pavilion. They don't care about things outside the palace.
***
Tables and chairs in the Zichen Palace were broken, cups and plates collapsed, making a mess. The dead and injured eunuchs, maids of honor, courtiers and wives were all taken down. Chang Ping groaned in pain as he clutched his severed hand, which was sprinkled with hemostatic powder by the imperial doctor, and the queen was kicked. , Injured internal organs, the blood around his mouth has dried up, but his hair is disheveled and he looks crazy.
As for the crown prince, standing alone in the center of the hall, his face was filled with indelible sorrow, his shoulders and back slumped deeply, and he no longer had the pride and vigor of the prince of the Eastern Palace.
Zhang Shuoling was dumbfounded, and when he saw Emperor Yuanshou approaching, he knelt down and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I was confused for a while, please forgive me for the sake of serving the two dynasties. I would like to resign and return to my hometown." I would like to offer all my family wealth—that’s right, I am willing to point out Princess Changping’s many evil deeds such as bribing officials and perverting the law for personal gain. The cultural relics and houses I collected are all here! There are no flowers! I am willing to make up for the merits—”
Before he finished speaking, Emperor Yuanshou took the Huan Shou Dao from the guard, chopped off Zhang Shuoling's head, and threw the knife at the guard behind him, came to the prince, and slapped him suddenly Fan him to the ground.
The prince's head was buzzing, he subconsciously covered his cheeks, wiped the blood from the broken skin, and looked at Emperor Yuanshou in fear: "Father..."
"Idiot! It's as useless as your biological mother!" Emperor Yuan Shou looked at the prince contemptuously, without concealing his anger and disgust: "I am indeed partial, but making you the crown prince, how can I not train you according to the standards of the crown prince? Lu Zhiyuan's daughter hired you and invited the current imperial tutor to teach you, but you coveted Zhao Jiashiro, who obeyed and violated, and learned to be gracious and unrighteous, but if you have the guts to marry him Zhao Baiyu came to marry Zhao Jiasilang, but if you show respect and love for your wife to others, you can be sincere, and you won't be looked down upon. I give you the Ministry of punishment, and I also know that the fifth child respects and loves you, so I hand over the Ministry of household to him , and gave the Huainan Cao Si envoy to Sima Jiao—speaking of it, how did you not give you the wealth and power of civil servants and generals? But do you want to look back and see what you have done?"
"Give it to the Ministry of Households, the capital water transport and the northern water transport merchants are corrupt and accept bribes, defrauding the public and ignoring the law, and acting like a boss!"
The fifth prince was stunned, so the father knew all about it?
"Give it to Huainan, and eagerly send the money into the treasury of An Huaide's mansion to help Prince Jing raise private soldiers!"
Panic flashed across the prince's face, didn't he deceive his father with the excuse back then?
"Give it to the Ministry of Punishments. You often use it to deal with some disobedient courtiers. When they are in distress, you will torture them severely. When you get the evidence, you will turn around and go into the court to criticize the enemy's political party. You have the right to mobilize the guards. You turn your head and use it to force the palace to rebel—" Emperor Yuanshou kicked the prince in the heart when he was furious. "You said that you have committed this pile of crimes, is it enough for me to abolish you as the crown prince?"
"Every sentence reprimands me for planning to abolish your crown prince? Do I still need to think about it? It is true that I love my house and Wu, and I prefer Zi'an, but Zi'an has guarded the frontier and made untold military exploits. Have you ever seen him proud of his military power? Just hand it over, and do whatever I ask him to do. He does every job well, but I don’t give credit to him, and I often scold him. Have you ever seen him feel dissatisfied? He has a bad temper, but never Never cross the bottom line, let alone criticize and harm political opponents, never take bribes, and never oppress the people... You are dissatisfied, you feel that Zi'an is no match for you, but you should talk about it carefully, how can you compare with Zi'e?"
"You said I was biased, and I also gave you a fair chance to compete for the throne, and gave the queen the respect and rights she deserves in the palace, but what did you do? What did she do again!" Emperor Yuanshou raised his voice and snapped : "She was in charge of the Central Committee, but she wantonly killed court ladies and eunuchs, harmed concubines and royal heirs, and even attacked Zi'an many times. Zi'an returned the military power two years ago and retreated to the county palace. Ten spies sneaked into the county prince's mansion, and after being killed, they spread Zi'an's cruelty to the outside world to ruin his reputation! When Zi'an got married, he still wanted to put people in his backyard! Let's see what he can do?"
The fifth prince was terrified and couldn't believe it, but he didn't know these things at all. In his heart, the queen should be gentle and generous, especially kind. She treated him, a prince who had no mother and no strong family backing, like her own son. Will be loyal to the East Palace.
The prince sat slumped on the ground, only smiling coldly, "Is it really as selfless as what you said in your heart? You said you gave your subjects a fair chance to compete, so why are you still trying your best to pave the way for Huo Jingtang? Huo Jingtang's body was poisoned by Gu, and the medicine stone was ineffective, why did you train the sixth younger brother after losing the qualification to be the crown prince?" There was hatred in his eyes and words, "You obviously never cared about my son from the bottom of your heart! You I never thought of having me as the crown prince!!”
Now that he has been crowned the crown prince, why do you want to cultivate others?
"Selfishness, there is no cure." Emperor Yuanshou was very disappointed, it's not that he didn't devote himself to the prince. "The crown prince has no filial piety, no righteousness, no integrity, no shame, relying on kindness and pride, deposes the position of the crown prince, and bans the Zongzheng Temple! The queen has no talent and no virtue, forms a party for selfishness, controls the harem, intends to ruin the previous court, loses the virtue of a woman, and is difficult to be in the middle palace. Get rid of it." All titles will be abolished as ordinary people and relegated to the cold palace!"
Turning his back and standing with his hands behind his back, Emperor Yuanshou didn't want to see the prince and queen again: "Pull it down!"
The prince sneered again and again, stepped back step by step, suddenly laughed wildly, and suddenly asked Lu Wan who remained silent in the hall: "I thought you loved me, why did you betray me? Why can you talk sweetly while watching me jump into a trap?" Can you help me?"
Lu Wan looked down at the floor tiles, "I have been taught to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic since I was a child, and I will never do wrong things that go against the sky, the king, and my ancestors."
"What a righteous speech." The prince was completely disheartened. When the guards stepped forward to take him down, he suddenly picked up the knife on the ground and laid it across his neck. He shouted loudly: "You don't need to do anything! Instead of being shackled and humiliated by others, life would be better than death, why not go to hell now!"
After saying that, he cut his throat, blood spattered three feet on the green front, and his soul was broken in Zichen Palace.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Putting the knife that the prince had wiped on his neck on his own neck, he raised his head and shouted at Emperor Yuanshou: "Your Majesty, I failed you when I was a minister, but you failed me when I was a wife!"
With a chirp across the neck, blood splashed out, and the mother and son returned to Huangquan together.
Emperor Yuanshou clenched his fists and decided so far, even unwilling to look back at the queen and prince for the last time.
They forced the palace to rebel and were not given death. Instead of being grateful to Dade, they committed suicide in front of the imperial court, and personally wiped out the last trace of love between husband and wife and between father and son.
The eunuch sighed in his heart, it was a waste that the queen and the prince only remembered to complain about His Majesty's injustice, but they couldn't even figure out His Majesty's temperament, no wonder they lost miserably.
Lu Zhiyuan wanted to take Lu Wan home, but Lu Wan said that she wanted to accompany the prince for the last journey, and Emperor Yuanshou acquiesced if he didn't speak.
The eunuch silently lifted the corpses of the prince and queen, stood still with bowed heads, waiting to speak.
Lu Wan looked at the prince's body quietly for a while, then stretched out her hands to cover his eyes that he refused to close, her eyes filled with tears, her lips moved slightly, and her voice was like a mosquito: "You ask my concubine, and I also want to ask you, why can you talk to me while you are together?" Acting as a couple who have been in love for so many years, while thinking about someone else?"
The dead will never answer, and Lu Wan will never get the answer, and she doesn't want to know.
"Let's go."
The eunuch listened to the order and walked back to the East Palace with Lu Wan.
After dealing with the queen and prince, Changping, the culprit, remains.
Emperor Yuan Shou looked back at her coldly, her fine clothes were stained with blood and dust, dirty, her bun was loose, and her face was frighteningly pale due to excessive blood loss and severe pain.
"I wanted to let you go."
Changping smiled sarcastically, his smile was pale, and he said weakly: "This...you can fool your ministers once, so don't deceive...my sister."
Emperor Yuanshou looked at her quietly. The younger sister who was connected with him by blood had also had a blind date with her. She was a small one who was bullied by Prince Jing and ran back to the central palace to ask him to beat her up. He vented his anger, but when he turned his head, he was coaxed by the novelties that King Jing bought from the people to turn against him. He was so angry that he ran to fight with King Jing. In the end, the three brothers and sisters ate up their stomachs but still laughed. .
In addition, he came back from the battlefield and was in a state of depression. Changping not only took care of his mother who was exhausted between the court and the harem, but also helped him please his father, and also helped him with the affairs of the house. Her shoulders held up the wind and rain for her incompetent and frustrated brother.
At that time, Changping was still a good girl, and there was nothing wrong with being arrogant and domineering. After all, she was the most favored eldest princess, and all the good things in the world should be sent to her to make her smile.
How did it change?
How come you are at the point of life and death now?
I can't figure out the reason, or I can actually guess the reason in my heart, but Emperor Yuanshou doesn't want to investigate who is more wrong and who is more right. This grievance between brother and sister should be settled.
"Changping indulged in selfish desires, slandered, troubled the Eastern Palace, bewitched the empress, caused turmoil in the previous dynasty, made the courtiers uneasy, deprived all titles and titles and rewards..." After a pause, Emperor Yuan Shou said: "Give poisoned wine."
In the end, the whole body of Changping was left behind.
But at this time, Zhao Boyong, who sent the deeply wounded Xie away from the palace, returned to the Zichen Palace. Private property, murder of his life, embezzlement and bribery, the crime of smuggling in Jiangnan Water Transport behind the scenes, killing 300 people in the quarry in order to clear the evidence - the crime is heinous, too numerous to write down, murder pays for life, but death will wipe out the past, the evil of Changping is not enough To wipe out his crime with one death, his crime should be announced to the world, and justice should be returned to the common people! Therefore, I beg your Majesty to hand over Changping to the minister for interrogation!"
Emperor Yuanshou looked at him expressionlessly: "I remember that Cheng Jie has no position related to the Liangjiang case, and Changping hasn't been interrogated yet, so how do you know such details? Could it be that last year the presiding judge Jiangnan Examination Prison stopped by to investigate?" from?"
Zhao Boyong suppressed extremely heavy emotions in his voice, "The minister just met Chen Shangshu, Du Duzhi, Gao Tongzhi, and Kang Wang successively on the palace road, and learned some details related to the Liangjiang case from them. When I met the Prince of Lin'an in Zichen Palace, I finally knew why Wulang beheaded three hundred officials and why—"
The veins at the temples are protruding, the cheeks are tight, the teeth are clenched, the gums ooze blood, the sweet taste lingers on the tip of the tongue, constantly stimulating Zhao Boyong, and the eyeballs staring straight at the ground are covered with scarlet bloodshot .
"Why did you hang the severed head at the gate of the Princess Mansion, and why did you insist on pushing Changping in front of the world!" Zhao Boyong said every word with pain: "Probably because Wulang saw 300 people die in the sea of fire with his own eyes, Probably because the people of Liangjiang, who were burdened with bloody grievances, sued the grievances to Wulang, because he was honest and upright, loved the people like a son, and could not bear the grievances of the people and the people, but he could not disregard the country and the country! You must be loyal to the king and serve the country! On the one hand, the Lord humiliates When the minister died, on one side were the people of Li who were so wronged. Zhao Baiyu was burned inside, his heart was broken, and he couldn't speak. To honor the face of the king, to avenge justice for the people, and to punish the wicked!"
Everyone knows the truth hidden under the words. Now that Changping forced the palace to rebel, the evidence of the crime is conclusive. No matter how big the case is, Emperor Yuanshou will not be involved, because no one will believe the words of a traitor against the party.
Although he didn't completely tear Emperor Yuanshou's face away, it also made him feel a little annoyed by the ignorant Zhao Boyong. Considering that Changping had done all kinds of evil things, he was indeed wronged, so he said patiently: "Chengjie, I I know you have old grievances in your heart, but the queen mother is old, she deprived Changping of her title, demoted her to a commoner, and even gave her death... The queen mother has not seen Changping for 20 years. During these days, her old man still cared about you, and refused to meet her only daughter even when she was under her nose, if she knew that Changping had been humiliated, how would she be heartbroken?"
Zhao Boyong insisted: "Your Majesty, the people of Liangjiang need justice!"
"You! You are so stubborn! You just remember what happened back then? Did you secretly complain about me in the past 20 years?"
"Your Majesty is terrified." Zhao Boyong grabbed the ground with his head and touched it three times in a row. In an instant, his majesty was purple and blood red. "Do you still remember that during the chaos, Shohei said to Goro, '20 years of life is at my mercy'?"
Emperor Yuanshou nodded. After listening to it, a strange feeling flashed in his heart, but he didn't have time to think about it. It's always weird to be careful now, even with Changping's abnormal hatred for Zhao Baiyu.
How can there be a mother in the world who treats her child as an enemy?
Changping treats Zhao Baiyu not only with hatred, if he can eat meat and drink blood, Zhao Baiyu would have died long ago.
"Do you know the reason?" Emperor Yuan Shou asked while looking at Chang Ping, who had a strange and cheerful smile, feeling ominous.
Zhao Boyong looked up, his eyes were red with hatred, as if bleeding: "20 years ago, Changping took oxytocin and deliberately gave birth to his wife half an hour earlier, so that the barbarian Li Deshou deliberately exchanged two children and was demoted. When we arrived in Hongzhou, we intentionally left the child behind to bear our anger, hatred, and resentment on her behalf!"
Every time he uttered a word, he remembered what he had said and done to Zhao Baiyu. That was his little boy, a boy with many disasters and a rough life, but what he suffered in the first half of his life All the ups and downs and disasters come from his close relatives!
Zhao Boyong shook his hands with hatred, and his veins protruded, "Your Majesty, I just ask, my minister's Wulang, the youngest son of my Zhao family, what heavenly commandment did he commit to suffer such a crime?"
Emperor Yuan Shou staggered back a step, obviously did not expect the truth to be so absurd, and it hit people's hearts straight. He recalled Zhao Baiyu's appearance, and found that he did not remember Zhao Baiyu when he was a child or a teenager, because at that time he was still The Zhao family's 'Silang', the princess' parent-child, and in order to compensate the Zhao family, both he and the Queen Mother deliberately ignored Zhao Baiyu and spoiled the original 'Wulang' instead.
Their pampering and pampering towards Zhao Yuzheng was not only to compensate the Zhao family, but also to help Changping atone for her sins and help her resolve grievances, but now Zhao Boyong said that the two children have been swapped since the day they were born?
Their compensation and grievances were all given to the wrong people. The more they indulged and favored, the more they owed Zhao Baiyu?
Emperor Yuanshou looked down at the blood on his palm, at the dried blood on his robe, and flashed back and forth in his mind just now when Changping came to kill with a knife, and there was no way to retreat, it was Zhao Bai, whom he had repeatedly had the intention to kill Yu stood in front of him and withstood Changping's crazy, unstoppable strike.
Emperor Yuanshou was honored throughout his life, and countless people died for him one after another, but he knew that those people either made a big move to reach the sky, or because the safety of the court and society depended on the emperor alone, there was nothing to lose.
Of course, there are people who love him and are willing to die for him, but all of these people love him as the emperor, so all their love is discounted.
In this life, only Cui Qingru loved him when he was down and down, and just because he loved him, he was willing to die, a tragic death, leaving an indelible mark in Emperor Yuanshou's heart forever.
Now there is another Zhao Baiyu, not out of love, nor out of loyalty to the emperor, but just for him, he is willing to block the knife with his body and save him with death.
Emperor Yuanshou could see that even if another person was in danger, Zhao Baiyu would come forward.
For an emperor who has been seen by everyone, whether it is a deliberate plan or the love and respect shown by his status as an emperor, it is far inferior to Zhao Baiyu's indiscriminate sacrifice to save him. sincere.
Zhao Baiyu's life and death were ignored, and all thoughts were lost when he refused the imperial doctor to draw the sword for him. His high integrity for the justice of heaven, the heart of the people and the country, all moved Emperor Yuanshou.
There is also Zi Yan who has never seen such a bewildered, lost soul, and heartbroken child. He has always been high-spirited, dared to shake the face of the emperor, and dared to cut justice with him. The demon king of the world who has been in such a panic will one day be able to panic and be at a loss in front of him.
Now that there is another reality of changing hands, Emperor Yuanshou owes something.
Zhao Baiyu, Zhao Baiyu.
The blue sky of the common people, the humerus important minister of the Dajing court, the youngest son of the Zhao family who was occupied by the magpie's nest, the wife hired back by the three books and six gifts, and his savior——
I have a guilty conscience.
"Take it down and leave it to you," Emperor Yuanshou turned around slowly, raised his hand and waved, paused for a while and said, "Punish according to the law."
"Minister," Zhao Boyong kowtowed, "Thank you Your Majesty!"
***
When Changping was taken down, he stared at Zhao Boyong without repentance and smiled: "Xie Langhuan lost to me, and she has lost to me all her life. And Zhao Lang, you will remember me no matter whether it is resentment or hatred, forever, Forever and ever, you can't get rid of me!"
Zhao Boyong stared at her indifferently.
"Does it hurt? Let me tell you again, as you said, I did keep Zhao Baiyu on purpose. I want you to think of me and the things I have done when you see him. I left to find peace. I also asked people to feed Zhao Baiyu the marrow washing pill, so that he would be healthy. Compared with my son who was born prematurely and weak and sick, the more you love Shiro, the more you hate Zhao Baiyu, and the more you will It's a pity that Zhao Baiyu was not tortured to death in the back house by you, and you didn't tell you to treat Shiro as your own son for the rest of your life, love him, love him, love him, love him, but! But it's up to you to expose the truth now The heart-wrenching appearance makes me happy alone!"
Changping came over nervously and said: "Zhao Boyong, this princess fell in love with you at first sight back then, and all my emotions and six senses were tied to you alone, but you failed it, you failed me. I love you, and I hate you, I hate you. You dismissed my affection, and hated you even more when you drove me out of the capital to Liangjiang, where I suffered all kinds of humiliation——I am obviously a princess of gold and jade! If it wasn't for you, Zhao Baiyu, and you To be aggressive, why am I in such a mess?"
Zhao Boyong reached out to remove Changping's other arm, and at the same time quickly removed Changping's jaw, making her speechless and even more embarrassed.
"There are too many cannibal torture tools in the prison. I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on. Now that you have no hands, you can't kill yourself by biting your tongue. If you break your leg bones later, you will understand what it feels like to be unable to die."
Zhao Boyong's voice was chillingly brisk and cold, and even Changping, who was so wicked and unrepentant, couldn't help but shudder when he saw this, as if he finally remembered that the No. The cruel official of the Ministry of punishment who has changed his face.
Eyes widened, pupils constricted, Changping finally regretted that he gave Zhao Boyong the opportunity to deprive her of suicide.
***
When Zhao Boyong went out of the palace gate, he found that the carriage that sent Mrs. Xie away was still parked outside. Zhao Changfeng and Zhao Yuqing were guarding the two sides of the carriage with serious thoughts.
"You haven't left yet?"
"Father?" Zhao Changfeng and Zhao Sanlang hurried over and asked in unison, "How is Zhao Baiyu Wulang injured?"
There was a noise in the carriage, Zhao Boyong stepped forward quickly, opened the curtain and found that it was Xie who got up too fast and fell down, hit the corner of the carriage, broke his tooth, bleeding profusely but still felt no pain As if, he hurriedly asked: "Wu Langke," the emotional ups and downs were too extreme, and his breathing was short of breath, so he had to take a breath before saying, "Can you get out of danger?"
While wiping the blood on Xie's chin, Zhao Boyong asked Dalang to find Zhixue powder, his hands were trembling, and he had to comfort him softly: "It's nothing, the imperial doctor said it's nothing, the knife came out, the blood stopped Stop, hurry up," seemed to find that the tone of the voice was changed due to choking, which was unusual, so he tried to smile: "Wake up soon."
Mrs. Xie looked at him directly: "You lied to me." She was very sure, "You lied to me again." Pushing away Zhao Boyong's hand, she stretched her neck to look at the palace gate and the direction of Zichen Hall, "Then The knife had already passed through Goro's body, and I saw the blood flowing all over the place, he is such a big man, how could there be so much blood in his body? Could he have lost too much blood—peh bah."
After the bah, Mrs. Xie stared blankly at the direction of Zichen Palace, and after a long while asked with hope in her eyes: "Can I stay in the palace?"
Zhao Boyong was silent for a while, then held Xie Shi's hand tightly and said: "Wait for me to enter the palace to ask for an order, Your Majesty, it will be fine if your Majesty agrees."
Both Zhao Changfeng and Zhao Sanlang froze in place, dully and mechanically helping to take the hemostatic powder and the towel to wipe the blood, their minds were in a mess, and they couldn't figure out a thought for a long time, so big doubts filled their hearts, why did their parents treat Zhao Bai? Is this the attitude of the fish?
why?
But vaguely, they told them the answer deep in their hearts, but they were shrouded in layers of fog, and they were about to break through the ground, rushing over with that destructive posture that engulfed everything.
"Little Linnu, my little Linnu, my little son, I," Xie held her heart helplessly, trying to extinguish the panic and boundless pain, and whispered: "I thought I demoted my wife into a concubine. Almost dying in the underworld is the greatest catastrophe. I thought that my little son was dying, and he was in pain. For the next ten years, he was worried, restless, and searched for ghosts and gods, begging them not to take my poor little slave. The cruelest suffering in this life, but I—"
Xie took a deep breath, choked up, and was speechless for a while.
"But how could I have thought, how could I have thought that my little Linnu was... replaced? How could I have thought that this is not my catastrophe, it turns out that I, I am the biggest catastrophe in this little Linnu's life."
Huo Jingtang touched Zhao Baiyu's hand cautiously, and said hoarsely, "Save him..."
Huo Jingtang raised his eyes, his eyes were red, filled with unobstructed pain, and his emotions were tense to the extreme. Those who looked at him had no doubt that he would collapse soon.
"At all costs, I beg you to save Xiao Lang!"
The imperial doctor opened his mouth, opened and closed a few times, but failed to make a sound. He raised his head and glanced at Emperor Yuanshou, Huo Jingtang, and the civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty who surrounded him. The shock, anxiety and remorse that came from unknown reasons appeared on their faces. color is particularly pronounced.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, this little Master Zhao's words touched the hearts of all civil and military officials in the court, even the imperial censor who had different political opinions and often sternly denounced Zhao Baiyu in temples and gatherings expressed his concern for killing three hundred officials without orders. Not to mention the rest.
Ouchi has been walking for 30 years, and this scene is really unprecedented. Even the political opponents who criticized Mr. Zhao were overwhelmed by his character.
The problem is that Mr. Zhao obviously has no desire to survive now, and he doesn't know what happened to him. Could it be that he feels guilty after beheading three hundred officials?
The imperial doctor had mixed thoughts, and was soon overwhelmed by a series of medical methods on how to treat Zhao Baiyu. He asked someone to cook a bowl of century-old wild ginseng soup to hang Zhao Baiyu's breath, and then looked at his abdomen, holding the yuan The hunting emperor's menacing gaze, the murderous aura exuding from Huo Jingtang's body, and the scorching gaze of all court officials behind him, kept wiping the cold sweat from the palms of his hands.
"We can't delay for too long. There is no heavy bleeding right now, so it may not be possible to pull out the knife once. So when pulling out the knife, you must be fast and steady, and then quickly sprinkle the medicine to stop bleeding. Device, if the hemostatic effect of the medicine is not as fast as the bleeding speed, I'm afraid..."
"Stop talking!" Emperor Yuan Shou scolded angrily, and looked at the eunuch again: "Go and bring all the best hemostatic powder in the palace and the medicinal materials for lifting life!"
The eunuch nodded again and again: "Old slave, let someone take it!" After saying that, he quickly withdrew.
Zhao Changfeng recommended himself: "I know by heart that running will be faster."
The eunuch was also very anxious, and Zhao Changfeng carried the medicine on his back without much hesitation, which was much faster than trotting by him.
As for this head, according to the imperial physician's instructions, Emperor Yuan Shou laid Zhao Baiyu flat on the ground, and when the imperial physician wiped his hands and was about to hold the handle of the knife, Huo Jingtang said, "I'll draw the knife."
The imperial doctor was stunned for a moment, no one in the palace held the knife more steadily than Xiaojun Wang, but can he do it?
Healers don't heal themselves, and the king of the small county who kills people with a knife is like cutting vegetables and melons. He personally draws the knife for his little man, won't his heart tremble?If something happened, wouldn't he blame himself for Mr. Zhao's death afterwards?
Even though he was thinking about it, the imperial physician still stepped aside. After all, he really wasn't sure enough to hold the knife firmly, and no matter how unstable Huo Jingtang's mood was, the muscle memory in his arm could support him to hold the knife handle firmly.
Huo Jingtang glanced at Zhao Baiyu, suddenly moved his hand, and there was a muffled sound, the knife fell away from the skin and fell to the ground, and his hand shaking uncontrollably.
The imperial doctor poured Zhixue powder quickly, and the powder was washed down by the gurgling blood, and he had to pour bottle after bottle until the powder covered the blood and the ugly wound, and the amount of bleeding gradually decreased until it stopped, and the ground had already scattered seven to eight medicine bottle.
"Go back to your majesty, go back to your majesty, and wait for an hour to pour some ginseng soup to hang your breath. After the blood flow is completely stable, do sutures. Now put Mr. Zhao in a safe place with few people, for fear of high fever next time." Don't retreat, so someone must keep an eye on Mr. Zhao, wipe the body with wine to cool down, and pay attention to the wound inflammation." The imperial physician cupped his hands.
Emperor Yuanshou: "Clean up the Nuan Pavilion, arrange for Zhao Qing to live in it, and order the court ladies, eunuchs, and imperial physicians to guard day and night. Whoever dares to delay Zhao Qing's life will be killed on the spot!"
The Nuan Pavilion is just behind the Zichen Hall, the closest, suitable for Zhao Baiyu who is inconvenient to move around.The eunuch and Zhao Changfeng also rushed back at this time, and fed Zhao Baiyu the more effective Qi Buqi pills, and the imperial doctor took the opportunity to suture his wound, so that Zhao Baiyu would not open the wound again during the jolt.
Zhao Baiyu was sent to the Nuan Pavilion, and passed through this life-and-death tribulation in a coma, Huo Jingtang accompanied him day and night, went out to find Zhao Boyong during the period, talked to him on the palace road, and then returned to the Nuan Pavilion. They don't care about things outside the palace.
***
Tables and chairs in the Zichen Palace were broken, cups and plates collapsed, making a mess. The dead and injured eunuchs, maids of honor, courtiers and wives were all taken down. Chang Ping groaned in pain as he clutched his severed hand, which was sprinkled with hemostatic powder by the imperial doctor, and the queen was kicked. , Injured internal organs, the blood around his mouth has dried up, but his hair is disheveled and he looks crazy.
As for the crown prince, standing alone in the center of the hall, his face was filled with indelible sorrow, his shoulders and back slumped deeply, and he no longer had the pride and vigor of the prince of the Eastern Palace.
Zhang Shuoling was dumbfounded, and when he saw Emperor Yuanshou approaching, he knelt down and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I was confused for a while, please forgive me for the sake of serving the two dynasties. I would like to resign and return to my hometown." I would like to offer all my family wealth—that’s right, I am willing to point out Princess Changping’s many evil deeds such as bribing officials and perverting the law for personal gain. The cultural relics and houses I collected are all here! There are no flowers! I am willing to make up for the merits—”
Before he finished speaking, Emperor Yuanshou took the Huan Shou Dao from the guard, chopped off Zhang Shuoling's head, and threw the knife at the guard behind him, came to the prince, and slapped him suddenly Fan him to the ground.
The prince's head was buzzing, he subconsciously covered his cheeks, wiped the blood from the broken skin, and looked at Emperor Yuanshou in fear: "Father..."
"Idiot! It's as useless as your biological mother!" Emperor Yuan Shou looked at the prince contemptuously, without concealing his anger and disgust: "I am indeed partial, but making you the crown prince, how can I not train you according to the standards of the crown prince? Lu Zhiyuan's daughter hired you and invited the current imperial tutor to teach you, but you coveted Zhao Jiashiro, who obeyed and violated, and learned to be gracious and unrighteous, but if you have the guts to marry him Zhao Baiyu came to marry Zhao Jiasilang, but if you show respect and love for your wife to others, you can be sincere, and you won't be looked down upon. I give you the Ministry of punishment, and I also know that the fifth child respects and loves you, so I hand over the Ministry of household to him , and gave the Huainan Cao Si envoy to Sima Jiao—speaking of it, how did you not give you the wealth and power of civil servants and generals? But do you want to look back and see what you have done?"
"Give it to the Ministry of Households, the capital water transport and the northern water transport merchants are corrupt and accept bribes, defrauding the public and ignoring the law, and acting like a boss!"
The fifth prince was stunned, so the father knew all about it?
"Give it to Huainan, and eagerly send the money into the treasury of An Huaide's mansion to help Prince Jing raise private soldiers!"
Panic flashed across the prince's face, didn't he deceive his father with the excuse back then?
"Give it to the Ministry of Punishments. You often use it to deal with some disobedient courtiers. When they are in distress, you will torture them severely. When you get the evidence, you will turn around and go into the court to criticize the enemy's political party. You have the right to mobilize the guards. You turn your head and use it to force the palace to rebel—" Emperor Yuanshou kicked the prince in the heart when he was furious. "You said that you have committed this pile of crimes, is it enough for me to abolish you as the crown prince?"
"Every sentence reprimands me for planning to abolish your crown prince? Do I still need to think about it? It is true that I love my house and Wu, and I prefer Zi'an, but Zi'an has guarded the frontier and made untold military exploits. Have you ever seen him proud of his military power? Just hand it over, and do whatever I ask him to do. He does every job well, but I don’t give credit to him, and I often scold him. Have you ever seen him feel dissatisfied? He has a bad temper, but never Never cross the bottom line, let alone criticize and harm political opponents, never take bribes, and never oppress the people... You are dissatisfied, you feel that Zi'an is no match for you, but you should talk about it carefully, how can you compare with Zi'e?"
"You said I was biased, and I also gave you a fair chance to compete for the throne, and gave the queen the respect and rights she deserves in the palace, but what did you do? What did she do again!" Emperor Yuanshou raised his voice and snapped : "She was in charge of the Central Committee, but she wantonly killed court ladies and eunuchs, harmed concubines and royal heirs, and even attacked Zi'an many times. Zi'an returned the military power two years ago and retreated to the county palace. Ten spies sneaked into the county prince's mansion, and after being killed, they spread Zi'an's cruelty to the outside world to ruin his reputation! When Zi'an got married, he still wanted to put people in his backyard! Let's see what he can do?"
The fifth prince was terrified and couldn't believe it, but he didn't know these things at all. In his heart, the queen should be gentle and generous, especially kind. She treated him, a prince who had no mother and no strong family backing, like her own son. Will be loyal to the East Palace.
The prince sat slumped on the ground, only smiling coldly, "Is it really as selfless as what you said in your heart? You said you gave your subjects a fair chance to compete, so why are you still trying your best to pave the way for Huo Jingtang? Huo Jingtang's body was poisoned by Gu, and the medicine stone was ineffective, why did you train the sixth younger brother after losing the qualification to be the crown prince?" There was hatred in his eyes and words, "You obviously never cared about my son from the bottom of your heart! You I never thought of having me as the crown prince!!”
Now that he has been crowned the crown prince, why do you want to cultivate others?
"Selfishness, there is no cure." Emperor Yuanshou was very disappointed, it's not that he didn't devote himself to the prince. "The crown prince has no filial piety, no righteousness, no integrity, no shame, relying on kindness and pride, deposes the position of the crown prince, and bans the Zongzheng Temple! The queen has no talent and no virtue, forms a party for selfishness, controls the harem, intends to ruin the previous court, loses the virtue of a woman, and is difficult to be in the middle palace. Get rid of it." All titles will be abolished as ordinary people and relegated to the cold palace!"
Turning his back and standing with his hands behind his back, Emperor Yuanshou didn't want to see the prince and queen again: "Pull it down!"
The prince sneered again and again, stepped back step by step, suddenly laughed wildly, and suddenly asked Lu Wan who remained silent in the hall: "I thought you loved me, why did you betray me? Why can you talk sweetly while watching me jump into a trap?" Can you help me?"
Lu Wan looked down at the floor tiles, "I have been taught to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic since I was a child, and I will never do wrong things that go against the sky, the king, and my ancestors."
"What a righteous speech." The prince was completely disheartened. When the guards stepped forward to take him down, he suddenly picked up the knife on the ground and laid it across his neck. He shouted loudly: "You don't need to do anything! Instead of being shackled and humiliated by others, life would be better than death, why not go to hell now!"
After saying that, he cut his throat, blood spattered three feet on the green front, and his soul was broken in Zichen Palace.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Putting the knife that the prince had wiped on his neck on his own neck, he raised his head and shouted at Emperor Yuanshou: "Your Majesty, I failed you when I was a minister, but you failed me when I was a wife!"
With a chirp across the neck, blood splashed out, and the mother and son returned to Huangquan together.
Emperor Yuanshou clenched his fists and decided so far, even unwilling to look back at the queen and prince for the last time.
They forced the palace to rebel and were not given death. Instead of being grateful to Dade, they committed suicide in front of the imperial court, and personally wiped out the last trace of love between husband and wife and between father and son.
The eunuch sighed in his heart, it was a waste that the queen and the prince only remembered to complain about His Majesty's injustice, but they couldn't even figure out His Majesty's temperament, no wonder they lost miserably.
Lu Zhiyuan wanted to take Lu Wan home, but Lu Wan said that she wanted to accompany the prince for the last journey, and Emperor Yuanshou acquiesced if he didn't speak.
The eunuch silently lifted the corpses of the prince and queen, stood still with bowed heads, waiting to speak.
Lu Wan looked at the prince's body quietly for a while, then stretched out her hands to cover his eyes that he refused to close, her eyes filled with tears, her lips moved slightly, and her voice was like a mosquito: "You ask my concubine, and I also want to ask you, why can you talk to me while you are together?" Acting as a couple who have been in love for so many years, while thinking about someone else?"
The dead will never answer, and Lu Wan will never get the answer, and she doesn't want to know.
"Let's go."
The eunuch listened to the order and walked back to the East Palace with Lu Wan.
After dealing with the queen and prince, Changping, the culprit, remains.
Emperor Yuan Shou looked back at her coldly, her fine clothes were stained with blood and dust, dirty, her bun was loose, and her face was frighteningly pale due to excessive blood loss and severe pain.
"I wanted to let you go."
Changping smiled sarcastically, his smile was pale, and he said weakly: "This...you can fool your ministers once, so don't deceive...my sister."
Emperor Yuanshou looked at her quietly. The younger sister who was connected with him by blood had also had a blind date with her. She was a small one who was bullied by Prince Jing and ran back to the central palace to ask him to beat her up. He vented his anger, but when he turned his head, he was coaxed by the novelties that King Jing bought from the people to turn against him. He was so angry that he ran to fight with King Jing. In the end, the three brothers and sisters ate up their stomachs but still laughed. .
In addition, he came back from the battlefield and was in a state of depression. Changping not only took care of his mother who was exhausted between the court and the harem, but also helped him please his father, and also helped him with the affairs of the house. Her shoulders held up the wind and rain for her incompetent and frustrated brother.
At that time, Changping was still a good girl, and there was nothing wrong with being arrogant and domineering. After all, she was the most favored eldest princess, and all the good things in the world should be sent to her to make her smile.
How did it change?
How come you are at the point of life and death now?
I can't figure out the reason, or I can actually guess the reason in my heart, but Emperor Yuanshou doesn't want to investigate who is more wrong and who is more right. This grievance between brother and sister should be settled.
"Changping indulged in selfish desires, slandered, troubled the Eastern Palace, bewitched the empress, caused turmoil in the previous dynasty, made the courtiers uneasy, deprived all titles and titles and rewards..." After a pause, Emperor Yuan Shou said: "Give poisoned wine."
In the end, the whole body of Changping was left behind.
But at this time, Zhao Boyong, who sent the deeply wounded Xie away from the palace, returned to the Zichen Palace. Private property, murder of his life, embezzlement and bribery, the crime of smuggling in Jiangnan Water Transport behind the scenes, killing 300 people in the quarry in order to clear the evidence - the crime is heinous, too numerous to write down, murder pays for life, but death will wipe out the past, the evil of Changping is not enough To wipe out his crime with one death, his crime should be announced to the world, and justice should be returned to the common people! Therefore, I beg your Majesty to hand over Changping to the minister for interrogation!"
Emperor Yuanshou looked at him expressionlessly: "I remember that Cheng Jie has no position related to the Liangjiang case, and Changping hasn't been interrogated yet, so how do you know such details? Could it be that last year the presiding judge Jiangnan Examination Prison stopped by to investigate?" from?"
Zhao Boyong suppressed extremely heavy emotions in his voice, "The minister just met Chen Shangshu, Du Duzhi, Gao Tongzhi, and Kang Wang successively on the palace road, and learned some details related to the Liangjiang case from them. When I met the Prince of Lin'an in Zichen Palace, I finally knew why Wulang beheaded three hundred officials and why—"
The veins at the temples are protruding, the cheeks are tight, the teeth are clenched, the gums ooze blood, the sweet taste lingers on the tip of the tongue, constantly stimulating Zhao Boyong, and the eyeballs staring straight at the ground are covered with scarlet bloodshot .
"Why did you hang the severed head at the gate of the Princess Mansion, and why did you insist on pushing Changping in front of the world!" Zhao Boyong said every word with pain: "Probably because Wulang saw 300 people die in the sea of fire with his own eyes, Probably because the people of Liangjiang, who were burdened with bloody grievances, sued the grievances to Wulang, because he was honest and upright, loved the people like a son, and could not bear the grievances of the people and the people, but he could not disregard the country and the country! You must be loyal to the king and serve the country! On the one hand, the Lord humiliates When the minister died, on one side were the people of Li who were so wronged. Zhao Baiyu was burned inside, his heart was broken, and he couldn't speak. To honor the face of the king, to avenge justice for the people, and to punish the wicked!"
Everyone knows the truth hidden under the words. Now that Changping forced the palace to rebel, the evidence of the crime is conclusive. No matter how big the case is, Emperor Yuanshou will not be involved, because no one will believe the words of a traitor against the party.
Although he didn't completely tear Emperor Yuanshou's face away, it also made him feel a little annoyed by the ignorant Zhao Boyong. Considering that Changping had done all kinds of evil things, he was indeed wronged, so he said patiently: "Chengjie, I I know you have old grievances in your heart, but the queen mother is old, she deprived Changping of her title, demoted her to a commoner, and even gave her death... The queen mother has not seen Changping for 20 years. During these days, her old man still cared about you, and refused to meet her only daughter even when she was under her nose, if she knew that Changping had been humiliated, how would she be heartbroken?"
Zhao Boyong insisted: "Your Majesty, the people of Liangjiang need justice!"
"You! You are so stubborn! You just remember what happened back then? Did you secretly complain about me in the past 20 years?"
"Your Majesty is terrified." Zhao Boyong grabbed the ground with his head and touched it three times in a row. In an instant, his majesty was purple and blood red. "Do you still remember that during the chaos, Shohei said to Goro, '20 years of life is at my mercy'?"
Emperor Yuanshou nodded. After listening to it, a strange feeling flashed in his heart, but he didn't have time to think about it. It's always weird to be careful now, even with Changping's abnormal hatred for Zhao Baiyu.
How can there be a mother in the world who treats her child as an enemy?
Changping treats Zhao Baiyu not only with hatred, if he can eat meat and drink blood, Zhao Baiyu would have died long ago.
"Do you know the reason?" Emperor Yuan Shou asked while looking at Chang Ping, who had a strange and cheerful smile, feeling ominous.
Zhao Boyong looked up, his eyes were red with hatred, as if bleeding: "20 years ago, Changping took oxytocin and deliberately gave birth to his wife half an hour earlier, so that the barbarian Li Deshou deliberately exchanged two children and was demoted. When we arrived in Hongzhou, we intentionally left the child behind to bear our anger, hatred, and resentment on her behalf!"
Every time he uttered a word, he remembered what he had said and done to Zhao Baiyu. That was his little boy, a boy with many disasters and a rough life, but what he suffered in the first half of his life All the ups and downs and disasters come from his close relatives!
Zhao Boyong shook his hands with hatred, and his veins protruded, "Your Majesty, I just ask, my minister's Wulang, the youngest son of my Zhao family, what heavenly commandment did he commit to suffer such a crime?"
Emperor Yuan Shou staggered back a step, obviously did not expect the truth to be so absurd, and it hit people's hearts straight. He recalled Zhao Baiyu's appearance, and found that he did not remember Zhao Baiyu when he was a child or a teenager, because at that time he was still The Zhao family's 'Silang', the princess' parent-child, and in order to compensate the Zhao family, both he and the Queen Mother deliberately ignored Zhao Baiyu and spoiled the original 'Wulang' instead.
Their pampering and pampering towards Zhao Yuzheng was not only to compensate the Zhao family, but also to help Changping atone for her sins and help her resolve grievances, but now Zhao Boyong said that the two children have been swapped since the day they were born?
Their compensation and grievances were all given to the wrong people. The more they indulged and favored, the more they owed Zhao Baiyu?
Emperor Yuanshou looked down at the blood on his palm, at the dried blood on his robe, and flashed back and forth in his mind just now when Changping came to kill with a knife, and there was no way to retreat, it was Zhao Bai, whom he had repeatedly had the intention to kill Yu stood in front of him and withstood Changping's crazy, unstoppable strike.
Emperor Yuanshou was honored throughout his life, and countless people died for him one after another, but he knew that those people either made a big move to reach the sky, or because the safety of the court and society depended on the emperor alone, there was nothing to lose.
Of course, there are people who love him and are willing to die for him, but all of these people love him as the emperor, so all their love is discounted.
In this life, only Cui Qingru loved him when he was down and down, and just because he loved him, he was willing to die, a tragic death, leaving an indelible mark in Emperor Yuanshou's heart forever.
Now there is another Zhao Baiyu, not out of love, nor out of loyalty to the emperor, but just for him, he is willing to block the knife with his body and save him with death.
Emperor Yuanshou could see that even if another person was in danger, Zhao Baiyu would come forward.
For an emperor who has been seen by everyone, whether it is a deliberate plan or the love and respect shown by his status as an emperor, it is far inferior to Zhao Baiyu's indiscriminate sacrifice to save him. sincere.
Zhao Baiyu's life and death were ignored, and all thoughts were lost when he refused the imperial doctor to draw the sword for him. His high integrity for the justice of heaven, the heart of the people and the country, all moved Emperor Yuanshou.
There is also Zi Yan who has never seen such a bewildered, lost soul, and heartbroken child. He has always been high-spirited, dared to shake the face of the emperor, and dared to cut justice with him. The demon king of the world who has been in such a panic will one day be able to panic and be at a loss in front of him.
Now that there is another reality of changing hands, Emperor Yuanshou owes something.
Zhao Baiyu, Zhao Baiyu.
The blue sky of the common people, the humerus important minister of the Dajing court, the youngest son of the Zhao family who was occupied by the magpie's nest, the wife hired back by the three books and six gifts, and his savior——
I have a guilty conscience.
"Take it down and leave it to you," Emperor Yuanshou turned around slowly, raised his hand and waved, paused for a while and said, "Punish according to the law."
"Minister," Zhao Boyong kowtowed, "Thank you Your Majesty!"
***
When Changping was taken down, he stared at Zhao Boyong without repentance and smiled: "Xie Langhuan lost to me, and she has lost to me all her life. And Zhao Lang, you will remember me no matter whether it is resentment or hatred, forever, Forever and ever, you can't get rid of me!"
Zhao Boyong stared at her indifferently.
"Does it hurt? Let me tell you again, as you said, I did keep Zhao Baiyu on purpose. I want you to think of me and the things I have done when you see him. I left to find peace. I also asked people to feed Zhao Baiyu the marrow washing pill, so that he would be healthy. Compared with my son who was born prematurely and weak and sick, the more you love Shiro, the more you hate Zhao Baiyu, and the more you will It's a pity that Zhao Baiyu was not tortured to death in the back house by you, and you didn't tell you to treat Shiro as your own son for the rest of your life, love him, love him, love him, love him, but! But it's up to you to expose the truth now The heart-wrenching appearance makes me happy alone!"
Changping came over nervously and said: "Zhao Boyong, this princess fell in love with you at first sight back then, and all my emotions and six senses were tied to you alone, but you failed it, you failed me. I love you, and I hate you, I hate you. You dismissed my affection, and hated you even more when you drove me out of the capital to Liangjiang, where I suffered all kinds of humiliation——I am obviously a princess of gold and jade! If it wasn't for you, Zhao Baiyu, and you To be aggressive, why am I in such a mess?"
Zhao Boyong reached out to remove Changping's other arm, and at the same time quickly removed Changping's jaw, making her speechless and even more embarrassed.
"There are too many cannibal torture tools in the prison. I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on. Now that you have no hands, you can't kill yourself by biting your tongue. If you break your leg bones later, you will understand what it feels like to be unable to die."
Zhao Boyong's voice was chillingly brisk and cold, and even Changping, who was so wicked and unrepentant, couldn't help but shudder when he saw this, as if he finally remembered that the No. The cruel official of the Ministry of punishment who has changed his face.
Eyes widened, pupils constricted, Changping finally regretted that he gave Zhao Boyong the opportunity to deprive her of suicide.
***
When Zhao Boyong went out of the palace gate, he found that the carriage that sent Mrs. Xie away was still parked outside. Zhao Changfeng and Zhao Yuqing were guarding the two sides of the carriage with serious thoughts.
"You haven't left yet?"
"Father?" Zhao Changfeng and Zhao Sanlang hurried over and asked in unison, "How is Zhao Baiyu Wulang injured?"
There was a noise in the carriage, Zhao Boyong stepped forward quickly, opened the curtain and found that it was Xie who got up too fast and fell down, hit the corner of the carriage, broke his tooth, bleeding profusely but still felt no pain As if, he hurriedly asked: "Wu Langke," the emotional ups and downs were too extreme, and his breathing was short of breath, so he had to take a breath before saying, "Can you get out of danger?"
While wiping the blood on Xie's chin, Zhao Boyong asked Dalang to find Zhixue powder, his hands were trembling, and he had to comfort him softly: "It's nothing, the imperial doctor said it's nothing, the knife came out, the blood stopped Stop, hurry up," seemed to find that the tone of the voice was changed due to choking, which was unusual, so he tried to smile: "Wake up soon."
Mrs. Xie looked at him directly: "You lied to me." She was very sure, "You lied to me again." Pushing away Zhao Boyong's hand, she stretched her neck to look at the palace gate and the direction of Zichen Hall, "Then The knife had already passed through Goro's body, and I saw the blood flowing all over the place, he is such a big man, how could there be so much blood in his body? Could he have lost too much blood—peh bah."
After the bah, Mrs. Xie stared blankly at the direction of Zichen Palace, and after a long while asked with hope in her eyes: "Can I stay in the palace?"
Zhao Boyong was silent for a while, then held Xie Shi's hand tightly and said: "Wait for me to enter the palace to ask for an order, Your Majesty, it will be fine if your Majesty agrees."
Both Zhao Changfeng and Zhao Sanlang froze in place, dully and mechanically helping to take the hemostatic powder and the towel to wipe the blood, their minds were in a mess, and they couldn't figure out a thought for a long time, so big doubts filled their hearts, why did their parents treat Zhao Bai? Is this the attitude of the fish?
why?
But vaguely, they told them the answer deep in their hearts, but they were shrouded in layers of fog, and they were about to break through the ground, rushing over with that destructive posture that engulfed everything.
"Little Linnu, my little Linnu, my little son, I," Xie held her heart helplessly, trying to extinguish the panic and boundless pain, and whispered: "I thought I demoted my wife into a concubine. Almost dying in the underworld is the greatest catastrophe. I thought that my little son was dying, and he was in pain. For the next ten years, he was worried, restless, and searched for ghosts and gods, begging them not to take my poor little slave. The cruelest suffering in this life, but I—"
Xie took a deep breath, choked up, and was speechless for a while.
"But how could I have thought, how could I have thought that my little Linnu was... replaced? How could I have thought that this is not my catastrophe, it turns out that I, I am the biggest catastrophe in this little Linnu's life."
