The emperor's scheming: alluring the world

163 Chapter 6
Chengdi's words were already expected by Li Sister-in-law, she didn't see how shocked she was, she just said in a sensible way: "The emperor has a loving father for the prince, and Sister-in-law understands that once Wu's death One life for one life, it can be regarded as revenge for the mother, but if the crown prince knows about this, I am afraid that the emperor will be misunderstood."

Seeing that Li Meiying was so reasonable, Emperor Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I didn't intend to let the crown prince know about the death of Mrs. Wu, I planned to use chronic poison on Mrs. Wu, so that the subjects would not have any guesses because of her sudden death. "

"The emperor is considerate, but the emperor gave the empress wine suddenly, I'm afraid she will have doubts," Li Meizhen sighed and expressed her worries.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Cheng smiled and said, "I have someone to carry out this matter on my behalf, but I need your help, my son."

"What does the emperor want my sister-in-law to do?" Li Sister-in-law asked with curiosity on her face. She thought that Emperor Cheng would order people to send the wine with chronic poison to the central palace generously, but she didn't expect Emperor Cheng to do so. Have other plans.

"You help me up first." Emperor Cheng struggled to get up while he was speaking, seeing this, Li Sister hurriedly helped Emperor Cheng up, and then took the cloak to put on him. At this time, Emperor Cheng said again: "Help me to go Over there at the desk, I will write two secret decrees right now."

Li Meiying didn't dare to hesitate, so she hurriedly called Yunyu to help Emperor Cheng go to the desk. Yunyu often waited on Li Meiying's pen and ink, and she had heard Chengdi's words before, and she studied the ink skillfully. Spread the yellow paper, and then retreat to the side.

And Li Meizhen also turned around to make tea quite tactfully, naturally avoiding the contents of the imperial decree.Chengdi picked up a pen and quickly wrote down the holy will on the yellow paper. After the two copies were written, sealed and sealed, Chengdi handed them to Li Meiying and said: "These two seals, one is for For King Jingxian, you send someone you trust to send it to Prince Jingxian’s mansion, and keep the other letter for yourself, maybe you can use it sometime!”

Li Meizheng received the two secret orders and put them close to her body, when the voice of the servant came from outside the hall: "Concubine Wangui has arrived."

A moment later, she saw Concubine Wangui enter the inner hall holding the maid's hand. When she saw Emperor Cheng get out of bed, a look of shock flashed across her face, and then she stepped forward and saluted as if nothing had happened: "Greetings to the emperor, and blessings to the emperor." .”

"Love concubine is free." Seeing Concubine Wan, Emperor Cheng said softly.

Concubine Wangui got up, walked to Emperor Cheng, supported him naturally, and said, "Why did your majesty get out of bed? Your body is still very weak, and it is not easy to work hard. His Royal Highness will handle state affairs. Your majesty should rest at ease." It is."

Hearing this, Li Meiying calmly stepped forward to support Emperor Cheng and said: "Your Majesty, I will take care of what you have told me. Now you can go to bed and rest with peace of mind!"

Emperor Cheng nodded, and let Li Sister-in-law and Concubine Wangui support him back to the bed and lie down again.Concubine Wangui carefully tucked up the quilt for him, then she seemed to think of something, and said to Zhang Gonggong beside him: "Is the emperor's medicine ready?"

Hearing the words, Eunuch Zhang glanced at the outer hall in puzzlement, and then replied: "For concubine Hui Wan, the emperor's medicine will be delivered at this time every day, but today it is delayed for a while, and the slave will go and have a look."

"You can go and have a look." Concubine Wangui nodded, then took off the cloak on her body and handed it to the maid at the side to put it away.

Hearing this, Eunuch Zhang withdrew from the inner hall to see the medicine in person. After he left for a while, a little waiter with a face came into the inner hall with a tray and said, "Greetings to the Emperor, greetings to Princess Yingsu, Greetings to Concubine Wan Gui."

Because his head was drooping slightly and he couldn't see his face clearly, Li Sister-in-law stared at him and asked in a cold voice: "The medicine was delivered a bit late today, but you were lazy."

The little servant trembled when he heard the words, and hurriedly explained: "I dare not, the imperial doctor changed the prescription, so the medicine was boiled a bit late, please forgive me, princess."

The concubine Wangui at the side frowned slightly when she heard the words, there was a hint of thought in her eyes, but she said calmly: "Hurry up and bring the medicine, it's best to drink it while it's hot."

As soon as Concubine Wangui's words came out, the little maid quietly breathed a sigh of relief, got up with the medicine in her hand and walked to the dragon couch with her head still bowed.Concubine Wangui had already supported Emperor Cheng to sit up, she carefully covered the quilt for him, then picked up the medicine bowl from the tray, took a spoonful of soup and blew gently, then her movements froze.

Li Sister-in-law watched from the side, her expression suddenly changed: "Concubine Wangui, what's wrong?"

"The taste of this medicine is not right." Concubine Wangui put the medicine up her nose and sniffed it carefully, then her face turned cold, she put the spoon back into the bowl, and handed the bowl to the little waiter Said: "There is something wrong with this medicine, did you meet anyone on the way to deliver the medicine?"

After staring at the little waiter for a long time, Emperor Cheng, who was silent at the side, suddenly said coldly: "This waiter is not the one who often delivers medicine to me, why the full-time waiter who is responsible for delivering medicine to me has changed, Eunuch Zhang Didn't even mention it?"

"Slave, slave was transferred here this morning. I'm afraid Eunuch Zhang hasn't had time to report to the emperor." Maybe it was because the earth dragon in the hall was burning too hot, or maybe this little servant was too nervous or guilty. A fine layer of sweat dripped out.

Concubine Wangui looked at the little servant coldly, and after a while she said indifferently: "Drink this medicine, and you will test it for the emperor yourself."

Hearing this, the little maid froze, lowered her head and said: "Concubine Wangui, the imperial physician has told you that the emperor's medicine should be taken on time. If the slave drinks the medicine, what will the emperor drink?"

"Why, you dare not drink?" Concubine Wan Gui coldly put Wan on the low table beside her, narrowing her eyes slightly and said.

Li Sister had been sitting on the sidelines watching coldly, at this moment she stood up abruptly, walked around the little servant twice, with a thoughtful look in her eyes.

Concubine Wangui looked at it, and then looked at the little servant, with a thoughtful look in her eyes.Chengdi saw that both of them looked a little wrong, so he asked: "What's the matter, is there something wrong with this servant?"

"You are the female officer Su next to the queen. I said that you look familiar. It turns out that you have cleaned off the makeup on your face and you are dressed as an eunuch. I didn't recognize it for a while." Suddenly Li Sister said suddenly, and then her gaze Landing on the medicine bowl, he said: "Aren't you imprisoned in the middle palace? Why did you become the emperor's drug delivery eunuch? Or did you say that you were ordered by the queen to sneak out of the middle palace quietly with the intention of murdering the emperor! Concubine Wangui just now Let you drink this bowl of medicine, but you excuse it, I'm afraid there are things that shouldn't be added to this medicine!"

"No, nothing was added to the medicine. The empress was worried about the emperor's health, so she specially ordered the servants to sneak out of the central palace to visit her, so as to reassure her." After her identity was exposed, Su Mistress hurriedly kowtowed and explained.
