Phoenix Fight: The First Concubine

Chapter 175 Has He Changed?

As long as it is within this range, she has a way to arrest all those people. Their offer of this kind of elixir is tantamount to murdering her husband's life. How can Murong Wei tolerate it?

"As long as they are gone, I won't believe it, the emperor will still be like this!"

There are quite a few eunuchs in Kunning Palace, and at this time, they got her order and went to arrest them immediately.

As for Xiao Mingrui's side, the Xinuang Pavilion was already in a mess at this time, and there were things broken by him everywhere. It was obvious that he had lost his temper just now.

The cabinet bachelor on duty had already arrived, and he was also hiding outside tremblingly at this time.

After a long while, Xiao Mingrui finally opened his mouth, and asked someone to call the cabinet scholar in, and gave him the military report: "Your cabinet knows all about the report, right?"

"Yes, the ministers have already known about it, and are about to discuss a solution."

Xiao Mingrui said angrily: "There is no need to discuss anything, the barbarians don't want to take advantage of the fire! If they still want to do this, I don't mind another Northern Expedition!"

"Please, Your Majesty, calm down."

At this moment, Lu Fei suddenly ran in with a pale face, and shouted: "It's a disaster, Your Majesty, something happened!"

Xiao Mingrui was in a bad mood, and he was even more upset when he heard the news. He immediately wanted to get angry, but he heard Lu Fei hurried in and said: "The Shangqing Court was sent by the empress!"

Xiao Mingrui was taken aback for a moment, and then he was surprised: "What did you say? The queen sent someone to the Shangqing Court?"

"Yeah, the servant just found out, and..." Luffy saw the cabinet bachelor at this moment, and immediately fell silent.

Seeing this situation, it was obvious that the matter of the inner palace was involved, and that grand scholar was certainly not stupid, so he immediately found an excuse and quit.

Xiao Mingrui said in a deep voice, "What's going on?"

Lu Fei said: "The servant just got the news that the empress sent someone to the Shangqing Court, not only arrested the Taoist priest who was refining alchemy there, but Hai smashed the alchemy furnace and other alchemy things."

Xiao Mingrui's face was overcast: "They were all smashed? Xiao Huan Dan was also smashed?"

Lu Fei nodded: "Yes, it will take a few days for Xiao Huan Dan to be refined, and it's gone now."

Xiao Mingrui took a deep breath, his heart was really bitter, especially the Xiao Huan Dan, which was refined by recruited Taoist priests after spending a lot of effort, was his greatest hope at present, although Xiao Mingrui was emotional for a while because of the problem with the pill he took. Somewhat out of control, but he didn't completely lose hope, because the Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain made this elixir, and the people from Quanzhen Sect made the Xiaohuan elixir.

The Quanzhen Sect mentioned here is of course not in martial arts novels, but it does exist. It has been passed down from Qiu Chuji, and what their sect learns is the main way, which is different from Kun Dao.

This time, because the emperor recruited people to refine the elixir, the Quanzhen sect wanted to expand its influence, so they also came and offered the recipe of the patriarch.

In addition to refining Xiao Huan Pill, they also refined another kind of elixir to replenish the body, but now they were all smashed by Murong Wei, why didn't Xiao Mingrui get angry in a hurry?
He was still counting on this little Huandan to be effective, so it wouldn't be a problem for both factions, right?
"Small it, she is so brave, she dared to smash the alchemy room without my permission!" Xiao Mingrui was so angry that he turned around in the hall, Lu Fei persuaded: "I see that the lady is just too angry for a while. Isn't it, Taoist priests are still there, as long as people are still there, the pill will be refined sooner or later."

Xiao Mingrui just felt a headache. If it wasn't for Murong Wei, he wouldn't have come into contact with these things. If nothing happened, then everyone would be happy, but if something happened, it would be too late to regret it.

"Go, you go to Kunning Palace and ask the queen to release him." Xiao Mingrui had a headache again, he lay down and closed his eyes to rest, his mind was in a mess.

After a while, Lu Fei went to Kunning Palace.

At this moment, Murong Wei was holding a milky white pill and looking at it, frowned and said, "Is this the Yangji Pill refined by the Quanzhen Sect?"

"Yes, when the servants went, they were just out of the oven. The servants saw that this thing is good, so I brought it here for you to have a look."

Murong Wei nodded, looking at it thoughtfully, she looked at the pill carefully, there is really nothing wrong with it, there is no harmful substance, and it is refined with high-quality medicinal materials, it can really nourish the body , health care.

But if you want to say that this thing is similar to the tonic that is usually prepared in the palace, there is no difference.

"They were refined in two batches?"

"Yeah, I went to Longhu Mountain with the Quanzhen Sect."

Hearing the name of the Quanzhen Sect, Murong Wei had been muttering in her heart for a long time, that she would take their pills, thinking, it would be fine if it was just this kind of pills, but this kind of atmosphere must not be encouraged. Because people's desires are endless, it is uncertain when they will pay a terrible price for it.

At this time, Luffy has also arrived.

"Let them go back?" Murong Wei sneered and said, "These people murdered the emperor, how can I just let it go? How can it be possible if they are not handed over to the Department of Punishment for careful investigation?"

Lu Fei wiped off his cold sweat and complained in his heart. The husband and wife had a quarrel, and he, the eunuch, could be regarded as a sandwich biscuit.

"Your Majesty, don't embarrass your servants. The Emperor is still waiting... Besides, the Emperor also intends to interrogate them himself. Madam, what do you think?"

Murong Wei narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, "Are you talking nonsense with your eyes open, I am so easy to fool?"

Lu Fei hurriedly pleaded guilty, complaining incessantly.

Murong Wei snorted, thinking of Xiao Mingrui's current state made her extremely sad, "I won't let them go, you go back and tell the emperor, if he still thinks about the relationship between husband and wife, he will give all the Taoist priests who made the pills to him." After disposing of it, you are not allowed to take pills in the future."

Lu Fei was a little embarrassed, but seeing Murong Wei like this, he had no choice but to go back and report to his life for the time being.

When he returned to Qianqing Palace to return to his command, Xiao Mingrui's face became even more ugly.

The wind and rain outside were dark and the wind was whimpering, Xiao Mingrui looked at the sky outside with a gloomy expression.

He couldn't wait any longer, and he couldn't afford to wait.

"You go to pass on my will. The empress is lawless and disobeys the king's order. Let her contemplate her mistakes behind closed doors in Kunning Palace. Without my will, no one is allowed to visit her!"

Lu Fei's eyes widened, this, is this too much, the emperor has never treated the queen like this in so many years, once this decree is made, it is inevitable that outsiders will start to speculate that the queen has fallen out of favor.

"Bring those Taoist priests again, I have something to ask them."

Xiao Mingrui raised his eyebrows and did not speak again.

Why did he think so much, but every time he thought of a line in that book, he felt extremely urgent.

It's already summer, the midsummer is coming to an end, there is not much time for him.

Lu Fei smiled wryly, to be honest, he didn't understand what was wrong with the emperor, why did he think of alchemy, could it be that he really wanted to become a fairy?
He walked out of Qianqing Palace, looked at the dark sky, and sighed: "Oh, I'm afraid the sky will change."

After finishing speaking, he personally went to Kunning Palace to deliver the decree.

Although it was getting late, Murong Wei did not fall asleep, she was still waiting for Xiao Mingrui's answer.

"What will he do?"

However, all she waited for was a rebuke.

"Think about your mistakes behind closed doors?" Murong Wei murmured and repeated these four words. Gradually, her body began to tremble, and she felt both grief and anger: "That's what he said? I am lawless and disobey the order of the king? Good, that's good! "

"Your Majesty, don't be angry, this slave thinks that the Emperor is angry, and he will definitely calm down tomorrow..."

Luffy persuaded while wiping his sweat.

"That's enough, Lu Fei, go back and tell him, I will never admit my mistake, does he want me to think about my mistakes behind closed doors, and don't let people see me? You tell him, just abolish my post and give me Die well, then I won’t be out of sight. Otherwise, don’t expect me to bow my head and admit my mistake. If he doesn’t drive away those Taoist priests and go back to the past, I won’t leave!”

After all, she angrily asked someone to drive Luffy away.

Luffy smiled wryly and asked people to get those Taoist priests away from Shen Xingsi, and took the Taoist priests of the two sects to answer.

After Xiao Mingrui heard the news from Lu Fei, he was silent for a long time, then gritted his teeth and said, "Just let her stay in Kunning Palace."

He secretly said in his heart, Wei'er, Wei'er, how do you know my difficulties? After... this matter is over, you will understand.

In any case, it will be explained in due time.

He summoned two more Taoist priests.

One is Zhang Zhenren from Longhu Mountain, and the other is Li Zhenren from Quanzhen Sect.

The two of them are very embarrassed at the moment, and they no longer have the taste of immortality.

Xiao Mingrui looked down at the two of them. Not long after, he asked someone to bring the dead cat, and said to Zhang Zhenren: "I did an experiment today...it's strange. Feed the elixir that Zhang Zhenren offered. The cat ate it, look at this cat."

Zhang Zhenren's pupils contracted, looking at the dead cat in front of him, he quickly shouted out his grievances, saying that the cat couldn't hold on to the medicinal power of the elixir and that's why it happened.

Xiao Mingrui said coldly: "I think the queen is right, you really want to murder me."

Zhang Zhenren complained endlessly in his heart, this elixir is actually effective, and it may take many years to have negative effects after taking it for a long time.

But if you eat a lot at once, it will be really scary.

"Your Majesty, this is the ancestor's alchemy formula, but it was refined for the emperor when he was refining the Resurrection Pill. If there is a problem, there are other formulas for the poor..."

Xiao Mingrui didn't believe these words anymore, he waved his hand, and said coldly: "I won't punish you for these things for the time being, can you continue to refine the pills you refined? If the refined things are useless, don't Blame me for being cruel."

Li Zhenren said: "Your Majesty, Xiaodao just refined a batch of pills today, but now the pill stove was smashed by someone from the empress, and the pills were taken away. Xiaodao pledged his life, there is absolutely no problem with the pills. It’s a good medicine to replenish the body. It’s Xiaohuan Dan, but it’s actually fine, because Pindao was worried about making a mistake, so he moved the furnace of Xiao Huan Dan to his room, and no one found it at the time, so it should still be there.”

"Oh?" Xiao Mingrui's heart moved, and he sent people to Kunning Palace to fetch the pill.

After a long while of experimentation, someone checked again to confirm that the pill is not harmful, it is only nourishing the body, and it is not harmful at all.Xiao Mingrui felt relieved, and thought: I think this old man still has some skills, maybe Xiao Huan Dan can really play a role.

As for Zhang Zhenren, he was thinking of taking advantage of it. If the alchemy he made was useless, Xiao Mingrui would never let him go, because if he dared to give him that kind of medicine, how could Xiao Mingrui tolerate it?

"Since that's the case, hurry back and start refining alchemy again. Be sure to refine it as soon as possible. How long will this elixir take?"

Xiao Mingrui didn't know why he was always upset and irritable that night, and he had some bad premonitions in his heart, which prompted him to refine the elixir desperately, even he himself didn't know why it was so bad intuition.

"Yes, Your Majesty, according to my poor deduction, it will take about a day or two. If it is quicker, it will be one day, and if it is slower, it will be two days."

Xiao Mingrui responded: "Refine yourself as soon as possible."

After all, he sent the two of them out.

The room suddenly fell silent.

Xiao Mingrui felt a little melancholy, he took out the book again, opened the page, stroked the line of words on it with his fingers, unable to let go of it for a long time.

"In the summer of the 21st year of Qiande, Empress Murong..."

"Wei'er, you are not allowed to leave me, even if God wants to snatch me from you, you can't!"

Xiao Mingrui's gaze became firm. He is not a person who is used to letting others control his destiny. In this life, he will never allow anyone to rob him of his beloved woman, his wife of more than 20 years.

Over the years, he has long been inseparable from this woman. She is engraved in every corner of his heart. In this world, there is no one who can make him love so deeply, and they have been together for many years. Who can leave whom? ?

"Your Majesty, let's go back, it's getting late at night." Dong Yu sighed and was sitting with Murong Wei in the gazebo outside the back hall of Kunning Palace at the moment.

The wind and rain hit the low gauze curtain of the gazebo, but Murong Wei didn't seem to notice it, she just half-kneeled in the pavilion, she sat there, watching the wind and rain, as if returning to the night when she was 16 years ago many years ago When Xiao Mingrui was punished by Emperor Jianwu to kneel in the ancestral temple, Murong Wei entered the palace and knelt with him.

It was also the same rain that day, and it was also the same night, but at that time, the two of them were connected with each other, and although they were in the bitter wind and rain, they did not feel sad or sad, but were happy in their hearts.

But today, looking at the same rainy night, thinking about the love of these years, Murong Wei felt sad in her heart, and for a while, she felt that her eyes were blurred, and she cried silently.

"Why is that?"

She whispered, she has not shed tears for many years, these years are too happy, she often does not remember that she has tears, even if she shed tears, she has never been like today, but she feels alone, lonely and hesitant, without any direction , My heart is even more inexplicably sad.

"He has changed. Dongyu, why did he become like this? I don't even recognize him anymore. Before...he was not like this before."

Murong Wei's heart ached, why did she make everything so unrecognizable?
She really couldn't do it knowing that this road was a dead end and still watch her husband go on this road.

She couldn't do it, so she could only be so decisive.

"Your Majesty, this servant thinks that the Emperor is just angry for a while..."

"No, he understands it very well. I just don't understand why he is so stubborn when he knows that the elixir is poisonous and will kill people. He must continue to find that Taoist priest to make alchemy? Could it be that he is obsessed by ghosts and can't understand?"

Murong Wei was puzzled by this question.

"Perhaps the emperor just didn't understand it for a while. Madam, my servant thinks that the emperor may be angry. Isn't this a loss of face in front of you?"

"It's not that simple, Dong Yu, you don't understand."

Murong Wei just couldn't figure out the reason behind it.

How could she not know how good Xiao Mingrui had been to her these years, she had never doubted his feelings for her, it was this that made her unbelievable that he would treat her so coldly this time.

"Ah." Dong Yu sighed, and said after a long time: "Your Majesty, don't think about it, it's late at night, you should rest, if there is anything wrong, maybe tomorrow will be fine."

"tomorrow--"

Murong Wei was thinking about something in a daze, then slowly got up and went back to the bedroom.

I tossed and turned that night and didn't sleep well.

It wasn't until it was almost dawn that he fell asleep in a daze.

It's just that when the palace lady came to wait for her to get up early in the morning, she was horrified to find that Murong Wei was hot all over, her cheeks were flushed, and her lips were chapped, obviously she had a fever.

The Kunning Palace was in a hurry, until Dong Yu invited the imperial doctor, and the imperial doctor's eyelids twitched when he saw the sickness, "The situation is not very good, the empress is in a hurry, and she has a typhoid fever, and she has not yet had a cold." Healed, and now it's even more menacing."

Dong Yu asked anxiously: "Emperor doctor, no matter what, I must cure my mother's illness!"

"The situation is not good now, but there is still time." The imperial doctor immediately prescribed a prescription and asked someone to cook it.

Murong Wei had already lost consciousness at this time, but she just felt that her whole body was hot and hot, as if she was in a stove, this situation was really difficult.

She seemed to be tormenting in the flames of hell, longing for some coolness.

Dong Yu fed the medicine, and changed Murong Wei's handkerchief to put on her forehead, feeling worried.

"Your Majesty, you have to make it through."

Time passed, half an hour passed, Xiao Mingrui was still in court at this time, he didn't know about Murong Wei's fever, there were too many things waiting for him to do, even if he was the emperor, he didn't do whatever he wanted.

The medicine seemed to have some effect, and Murong Wei's fever subsided a bit. At this moment, she just felt a little confused, but she could already feel the voices of the people around her. I can't get up.

"People from the Feng family sent a post to report the funeral... Your mother's eldest brother-in-law, Feng Yu, has passed away."

"Why didn't you hear what happened before?"

"I heard that it happened yesterday. On the way back from the disaster relief, there was an earthquake. Rocks rolled on the mountain, smashed the carriages and horses, and the people disappeared... Alas, now, my lady...you can arrange the funeral..."

Feng Yu died?

This thought flashed through Murong Wei's mind, and she was at a loss for a moment. Suddenly, a more terrifying consciousness seemed to wake up from his body. Inexplicably, an unforgettable pain emerged from her body, which seemed to be a legend. The grief and sorrow of the soul, like the tide, occupied her body and mind in an instant, making her almost feel as if she was going to die.

Windy, windy...

No, how can you be dead, dead, impossible...

A feeling of despair and madness flashed through her mind, and the intense grief spread throughout her body in an instant, as if in an instant, Murong Wei was in such pain that she almost went crazy.

What's the matter, what's wrong with her?
A pain from the soul that was connected by blood was completely unbearable for her, and suddenly she seemed to feel that there was another person hidden in her body!

This terrible feeling made Murong Wei terrified, and made her suddenly feel like she was an outsider.

Who, who?

At this time, Qianxi's voice came from outside: "Bastard, do you dare to stop this princess? I want to go in to visit the queen mother, get out of the way!"

"No way, princess, the emperor has ordered..."

"It doesn't matter, you guys get lost, I'll ask my father later to see if any of you dare to stop me..."

At this time, Murong Wei who had been lying on the bed suddenly sat up.

She slowly opened her eyes, which showed strong grief and bewilderment, and also carried unspeakable vicissitudes and sorrow. She stumbled out of bed amidst Dong Yu's surprised voice.

"Your Majesty is awake, oh, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you..." Dong Yu was startled and was about to come over to support her.

However, Murong Wei didn't seem to hear her words at all. She struggled to run outside, as if she wanted to meet someone, as if she wanted to prove that the news she had just received seemed completely inconsistent with her physical condition at the moment, and a terrible outbreak erupted. The vitality, at this moment, stumbled and ran out.

But at this moment in her body, Murong Wei seemed to have become a bystander. She suddenly realized that she could no longer control her body.

This terrifying feeling made her soul tremble, why, who is this person?
Is it the original Murong Wei, the original owner of this body?

Murong Wei was at a loss, yes, who else but her?

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the princess will come in right away, Your Majesty!" Dong Yu anxiously stopped Murong Wei, she misunderstood for a while, and thought that Murong Wei wanted to see Qian Xi, but she couldn't believe it, what was it? What's wrong?
Murong Wei pushed her away, but the super heavy load on her body was too much for her to bear, she suddenly vomited blood profusely.

Qianxi, who was rushing in, saw this scene all of a sudden, she was terrified, and ran over in shock.

"Mother, mother, what's the matter, what's the matter..."

Qianxi ran over in a panic. She watched Murong Wei fall to the ground, the look in her eyes dimmed, like a lifeless log.

Qianxi was so scared that she burst into tears: "Queen, don't scare me, Qianxi is here, Aunt Dongyu, what's the matter, come here, the imperial physician..."

"Miss!"

The terrified voices of the palace people and the sound of panicked footsteps came from all around. Gradually, Murong Wei could not hear anything, and a darkness completely buried her.

Xiao Mingrui was going to court when a news came, which interrupted all his plans.

"The empress vomited blood and was unconscious. The imperial doctor said that the empress was critically ill..."

For a moment, he couldn't hear anything.

Hematemesis coma?

Critically ill?

He was shocked by all this for a moment, and he couldn't believe it at all. Then, a kind of fear spread in his heart.

A thought came to me suddenly: Is it coming, is it coming at last?

He suddenly left the court, all the officials were stunned, and then they got the news that the queen was critically ill, everyone's expression changed immediately, and they were even more puzzled, this is so good, why is she suddenly critically ill?
Xiao Mingrui didn't know how he got to Kunning Palace, how he got in, he entered the bedroom amidst a group of dazed and flustered maids asking for their peace.

When he saw the bloodless man on the bed, he was completely stunned.

Although the wordless fear had made him completely out of control, seeing her as if she had completely lost her life at this moment, Xiao Mingrui still felt a sharp pain, and his whole heart tightened. Next, took her hand and shouted: "Wei'er, Wei'er, wake me up! I won't allow you to have any accidents, no..."

But at this moment, she was cold all over, as if she had lost a trace of popularity.

Xiao Mingrui was about to lose control, a kind of fear completely enveloped him, almost suffocating.

"How could it be? Could it be that I still can't hide, no, I will definitely be able to solve all this..."

The Imperial Physician was called over. At this moment, many Imperial Physicians from the Imperial Hospital had already arrived, and Mr. Zhao, the director of the hospital, was answering at this time.

"Your Majesty is furious and overwhelmed with grief. I don't know what kind of stimulation I received just now, which caused angina. In addition to high-grade typhoid fever, my body is extremely weak now. I'm afraid..."

"I don't want to listen to this, as long as you cure the queen, otherwise you will all die for me!"

At this moment, Xiao Mingrui has lost control, looking at his unconscious wife, listening to the doctor say that the grief is too much, and the anger is overwhelming, Xiao Mingrui is almost going crazy.

What is the reason for this? Is it because of fighting against him?

Is God so ridiculous, he tried his best to change his destiny, but it came in a more terrifying way, a powerless and ridiculous way.
