The medical concubine devoured the world

Chapter 251
He thought that he could hide Meng Siyin from him, but he didn't expect that Meng Siyin's eyeliner also extended in all directions in the capital.

The canonization ceremony of Concubine De came soon.

Concubine De was wearing a phoenix robe to accept the worship of civil and military officials. At this time, the emperor was only hanging his life with a mouthful of ginseng soup.

Faced with successive blows, the emperor couldn't sleep every night, because he always saw someone mocking him and demanding his life.

The Qianqing Palace is brightly lit every night, and the maids and eunuchs on duty stand in the corners of the palace.

Zhao Hong came to visit unexpectedly in the middle of the night.

He knelt beside the emperor's bed and said tearfully: "The empress's family, these years have not been easy, and they have made so many contributions to the country and society. I implore the emperor to make me the prince."

The emperor was shaking with anger.

"I haven't left yet, are you so impatient?"

Zhao Hong hurriedly moved to the side of the emperor.

"Father, you are running out of time, so don't lie to yourself. I am still your favorite son, right?"

Although the emperor was dying of illness, the majesty of the emperor was still there, and he roared angrily: "Get out of here."

As soon as Zhao Hong turned around and left, the emperor spat out a pool of blood with a wow.

The eunuchs and maids in the palace were in a mess, and the imperial doctor stayed by the bed for a day and a night.

The next day, the emperor called everyone to the Qianqing Palace to wait.

The palace was filled with the smell of traditional Chinese medicine, and Meng Siyin frowned.

The Queen Mother stood next to Meng Siyin, held Meng Siyin's wrist, frowned and said: "If the Emperor continues to suffer like this, I'm afraid it won't be long. I know that you are skilled in medicine. I don't ask for anything else. I hope you can save the Emperor's life. "

When Meng Siyin heard this, a thin layer of sweat broke out in his palms. Does the Queen Mother know something?
Could it be that Zhao Xu's plan has been exposed?

Meng Siyin tightly shut her mouth, and hung her head beside her without speaking.

The queen mother sighed.

"I know all the things that the emperor has done, and I also know that you and Xu'er have the same affection. But anyway, he is the emperor, don't you really want to forgive him?"

Meng Siyin looked up at the queen mother, her eyes were full of tears.

I couldn't bear it, but I remembered what the emperor did.

He frowned and said: "Ministers are incompetent, the emperor is too sick, and I have no way to save him."

The queen mother sighed heavily, then turned and left.

Looking at the empress dowager's desolate back, Meng Siyin couldn't help but feel sad. She must be very disappointed in herself.

In the past few years, she has been walking on thin ice in the palace, and the queen mother is behind her to protect her carefully.

Back in Jiayi Hall, Meng Siyin told Zhao Xu all about the conversation with the Queen Mother today.

After hearing this, Zhao Xu just frowned slightly, then turned his head to stare at Meng Siyin and said seriously: "You and I are of one mind, right?"

Meng Siyin didn't expect Zhao Xu to ask this, so she nodded.

Just about to speak was interrupted by Zhao Xu.

"Since this is the case, then we must stand on the same front."

Meng Siyin said without thinking: "Of course this is certain. I heard that the emperor's health has been getting worse and worse these past two days. Why don't we take this opportunity to seize power in one fell swoop!"

Zhao Xu also had this intention a long time ago. He and Zhao Xi have been secretly contacting various ministers these days.

The emperor didn't go to court for half a month, and there were a lot of things piled up in the court.

He was too suspicious, and he didn't have a crown prince, so some urgent matters were delayed again and again.

In recent days, droughts have occurred frequently in the south, and farmers have been unable to sow seeds, and the country will have no harvest for a whole year.

Zhao Xu and Zhao Xi were the first to get the news, and Zhao Hong rebelled.

The two invited General Zhou, who was guarding the frontier, back in advance.

General Zhou led a large army to surround Zhao Hong.

Zhao Hong's eyes turned red, and he roared angrily: "Impossible, I have been planning for so long, it is impossible at all."

Zhao Hong was captured alive, and all the rebels were wiped out, and the rebellion has since come to an end.

The emperor looked at Zhao Hong, who was tied up, and closed his eyes.

Zhao Xifu whispered in the emperor's ear: "Father, you are getting old, it's time to cultivate yourself."

The emperor still has a lot of unwillingness, but the overall situation has been settled.

Taking into account the brotherhood, Zhao Xi exiled Zhao Hong to the frontier to serve as an army.

On the [-]th day of the first year of Qi, Zhao Xi pardoned the world and appointed Zhao Xu as King Dingnan.

Empress De went with the flow and became queen mother.

Zhao Xu is preparing to go south with a mighty team.

Meng Siyin and Wan'er were bored in the carriage, while Meng Siyin complained: "What the hell is this? The weather is so hot that I'm about to get prickly heat from covering my body."

Wan'er held the fan a little harder.

At noon, the army stood aside to rest, and Meng Siyin saw the exceptionally clear water of the river. She took the harpoon that Zhao Xu made for her and came to the river with great interest.

Groups of small fish swim in the river.

Seeing a huge carp resting in the shade in the distance, Meng Siyin poked a branch with quick eyesight.

Seeing the fish jumping around alive and kicking, Zhao Xu praised from the side: "I didn't expect you to have these two strokes."

Meng Siyin said proudly: "That's natural, you don't know much."

Along the way, Meng Siyin saw that the fields were dry and cracked.

There are many corpses and wild dogs on the side of the road staring at them with the wreckage in their mouths.

The army galloped by on the right road.

Before Zhao Xu came, a batch of disaster relief funds had already been released. For some reason, there were still so many people dying of starvation on the road.

He stationed his troops in the suburbs, and sneaked into the city with Meng Siyin in disguise.

Seeing that the people are in dire straits, many children have lost their parents when they were still in their infancy.

Meng Siyin hated these scenes the most, she followed Zhao Xu to the yamen step by step with red eyes.

The guard guarding the gate looked at Zhao Xu and asked viciously, "Who dares to break into this place?"

Zhao Xu took out his forged identity and said that he was a wealthy businessman from the north and wanted to donate a lot of money to the victims of the disaster.

When the guard heard his eyes shine, he invited the two into the backyard of the yamen.

When the county magistrate heard this, Le's eyes narrowed.

Meng Siyin looked at the chubby magistrate, frowned and cursed inwardly, "The people on the side of the road are starving to death, and I eat like a pig's head, he must have swallowed up the disaster relief money."

But at this time, the two have no evidence, so they can only take one step at a time.

Zhao Xu looked at the magistrate's fat and round appearance, and was very disgusted.

He frowned slightly.

"I saw a lot of people starved to death along the way, and thought about donating some money for them, maybe I can help a little."

The county magistrate said with a smile: "We in Guanghe County have met a kind person like you. This year's drought will definitely be over."

Zhao Xu said solemnly: "How much did the court allocate this time? How much more is needed for this disaster relief?"

The county magistrate said with an ugly face: "What kind of disaster relief funds does the imperial court have this time, and I have to pay for the disaster funds from my own pocket, otherwise more people will die."

Meng Siyin scoffed when she heard this.

The imperial court allocated so much real gold and silver, and even said that it didn't give any cents.

She gently tugged on Zhao Xu's sleeve under the table, Zhao Xu naturally understood that at this moment he must know how to be patient.
