Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 254

Half a month later, the emperor was seriously ill again and lay dying on the dragon bed, but Huo Mingzhu was very happy in her heart, she appeared beside the emperor's dragon bed, knelt down and smiled tearfully at the emperor: "Your Majesty, my concubine is right!" Holy Grace, I have found the key to this technique of immortality."

The emperor was lying on the dragon bed, struggling to even move. Looking at Huo Mingzhu's charming face, his mouth squirmed a few times, and wanted to say something, but in the end he could only say two words: "Zuzao."

Huo Mingzhu hurriedly explained to the emperor one by one what he was going to do next: "Your Majesty, the art of immortality must be experienced by the person who accepts this art. After a while, the concubine will use the emperor's birthday The horoscope divination is a hexagram, and the horoscope corresponding to the horoscope is the key person who can make the emperor transcend life and death."

Speaking of this, Huo Mingzhu took out a elixir from her bosom, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this elixir was made by my concubine before, and it can make you feel better."

After finishing speaking, he fed the pill to the emperor and ate it.

The elixir took effect very quickly, and the emperor's spirit was much better, but it was still a little difficult to speak, but he couldn't wait to say to Huo Mingzhu: "Your majesty, you should deal with this matter immediately."

Huo Mingzhu knelt down, bowed respectfully and said: "I obey."

Su Lv had already prepared the things Huo Mingzhu needed for divination, a desk with a lamp, pen, ink, paper and inkstone, a yellow bag, a whisk and a gossip mirror.The desk was also painted with runes, and I don't know what kind of paint was used. The dark red color looks very strange and mysterious.

Huo Mingzhu didn't explain now, she went directly to the desk, wrote the emperor's birth date on a piece of rice paper, then pressed the birth date under the lamp, waved the whisk in her hand, and muttered : "Yin and Yang give birth to Taiji, Taiji give birth to Liangyi, Liangyi give birth to Sixiang, and Sixiang give birth to gossip." Then there was a blunt and difficult scripture, the emperor could not understand it.

However, it is undeniable that Huo Mingzhu is extremely beautiful at the moment, with a beauty that transcends the mundane world. The emperor is determined, and feels that Huo Mingzhu can help him find a way to transcend life and death.

Huo Mingzhu muttered for a long time, and finally took out a bunch of copper coins, divided them several times, grabbed those copper coins and dropped them on the ground, and heard the copper coins fall, and then Huo Mingzhu walked in front of the copper coins.

He didn't reach out to pick up those copper coins, but looked at them seriously, doing calculations in his hands, and whispered in his mouth. After calculating for a while, he walked to the table and wrote down the calculated results.

This is repeated until a birth date is written on the paper.

Huo Mingzhu just stopped, but after such a pass, her body shook a few times, Su Hui hurried up to support Huo Mingzhu's body and said: "Your Majesty, what do you think?"

"It's okay, I'm just tired." After answering Su Yu, she walked to the emperor's dragon bed and said with a smile to the emperor: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, the divination went well, and the concubines were worried before. If the divination technique fails, then it is impossible to find a woman for the emperor who can activate the immortality technique for the emperor."

Although the emperor is weak at this time, his eyes are shining, he looked at Huo Mingzhu anxiously and said: "You mean a woman?"

"Yes, your majesty, because your majesty has already passed the test of a narrow escape, and all you need is for your concubine to find the extremely yin body that can trigger the immortality technique for the majesty to congratulate the majesty." Huo Mingzhu said, already I am very tired.

Although the emperor was anxious, he couldn't make Huo Mingzhu tired, so he patted the dragon bed impatiently and said: "Queen, sit down and talk."

Huo Mingzhu did not rush over, but said: "If you go back to the emperor, let the concubine take a look at the birth date of this girl with an extremely yin body first, the concubine is also anxious to make the emperor's dragon body healthy."

When the emperor heard this, he was very pleased and said: "The empress has worked hard, so hurry up and have a look."

Looking at the impatient emperor, Huo Mingzhu secretly smiled, but she looked at the note in her hand calmly, and that note was the one on which she herself had written her birthday.

Seeing this, Huo Mingzhu had a complicated look on his face. The emperor was a little worried when he saw Huo Mingzhu's appearance, so he said: "Queen, is there something wrong?"

"Back to the emperor, no, it's just that this horoscope is actually the same as the horoscope of my concubine's sister, this..." Huo Mingzhu suddenly knelt in front of the emperor and said, "Your majesty, if my sister can help the emperor trigger the immortality technique , become an immortal body, my sister will also become an immortal person just like the emperor, just... just..."

"Just what?" The emperor was overjoyed. Hearing that the extremely yin body was actually the two thousand pieces of gold from the general's mansion, he could save a lot of trouble. At least, he didn't need to spend time looking for someone. The emperor had already seen that he had become When he was immortal, he had a strong body, and he could have this country forever.

However, what Huo Mingzhu did just made the emperor feel a little unhappy, annoyed that Huo Mingzhu didn't bring his sister as soon as possible, but was still there.

Huo Mingzhu sighed and said: "The concubine is worried that if the emperor gets an immortal body, the emperor will despise the concubine when the concubine's hair is full of gray hair."

When the emperor heard that this was the reason, he immediately became happy, and he hurriedly said: "Queen, I won't do this, please quickly tell me what to do next."

Huo Mingzhu laughed secretly, since the emperor was so anxious that he only had a few words to perfuse her, so he stopped talking about other irrelevant words, and said seriously: "Your majesty, the person who is happy is an extremely yin body, so you must In the middle of the night, let the woman with a very yin body wear a wedding gown and go to the emperor to serve the emperor for seven to seventy-nine days. During this period, the emperor must eat and sleep with this woman."

When the emperor heard it, that was all, so he hurriedly said: "Come here, pass on my will..."

Hearing the emperor's impatient decree for Huo Huaiyu to enter the palace to celebrate, a trace of cruelty flashed in Huo Mingzhu's eyes, Huo family, this is the official start.

The next day, the General's Mansion.

"No, I'm not going, mother, I'm not going." As soon as Huo Huaiyu received the order to enter the palace to celebrate the emperor, he immediately got up from the ground, and instead of going to receive the order, he pulled Lin Ru who was still kneeling beside him. Yi shouted.

Huo Zhengde was about to reach out to receive the order, but Huo Huaiyu yelled too fast, and he didn't have time at all. At this moment, when Huo Huaiyu yelled, the face of the father-in-law who announced the order changed.

Of course Lin Ruyi knew that Huo Zhengde was dissatisfied at the moment, so she hurriedly blinked at Huo Huaiyu, signaling her to be calm and calm.

Huo Huaiyu was already full of despair at the moment, how could he calm down, let alone seeing Lin Ruyi's hint, he kept pulling Lin Ruyi and said: "Mother, Yu'er, don't go to cheer the emperor, the emperor is going to die, I'm so Once you go, you will be in a pit of fire, mother."

"Presumptuous." As soon as Huo Zhengde heard what Huo Huaiyu said, his expression became extremely ugly, even the father-in-law who read out the imperial edict also had an ugly expression.

Lin Ruyi was so frightened that she hurriedly covered Huo Huaiyu's mouth, yelling not to pay it back, but Huo Huaiyu said that the emperor would not live long, it was a great crime to punish the Jiuzu.

After Huo Zhengde yelled, Huo Huaiyu obviously calmed down a bit. Thinking of what she said just now, and seeing the faces of Huo Zhengde and Lin Ruyi, she was also dripping with cold sweat, but she still said in her mouth: "Mother, save me!" Save me, I don't want to enter the palace."

After Huo Zhengde glanced at Huo Huaiyu, he walked up to the father-in-law who declared the decree, stuffed a big gold ingot for the father-in-law, and said fairly to the father-in-law: "Elder-in-law, the little girl made a slip of the tongue, what do you think?"

The father-in-law made a high-pitched voice, pointing at the orchid and replied: "General Huo, the miscellaneous family has never heard anything, but if after entering the palace, it would be a big crime to lose your head if you ask the daughter to say something again. I only said this because General Huo took good care of the miscellaneous family on weekdays."

Huo Zhengde said: "Yes, I know, thank you, father-in-law." So he stuffed another quick gold in the past: "Eunuch, you have worked hard all the way."

"The miscellaneous family is still in a hurry to go back and return to life."

"Congratulations to the father-in-law."

"Come on, don't give it away." The father-in-law raised his hand and waved, and then left without looking back, leaving the Huo family members to look at the hot-handed edict.

Huo Huaiyu said first: "I won't go, I just won't go, father, mother, you must save Yu'er, save Yu'er."

Huo Huaiyu was really scared at this moment, to wish the emperor was to marry him, not to mention that she loved the Ninth Prince, even if she didn't have a sweetheart, she couldn't marry this dying person. "

"This is a great grace, whether you can save it or not, it's nonsense." Huo Zhengde frowned and scolded Huo Huaiyu with a sullen face.

Huo Huaiyu must have heard Huo Zhengde's words, and looked at Huo Zhengde in disbelief, is this his father who held her in his palm? At this moment, she was going to be pushed into the fire pit, but he made her not wanton.

"Father, what did you say?"

Seeing Huo Huaiyu's grief-stricken face, Lin Ruyi was also in pain, but her mind was spinning quickly, and she immediately thought that this must be Huo Mingzhu's trick.

Yes, it must be, Huo Mingzhu came to take revenge on them.

Huo Huaiyu originally expected Huo Zhengde to save her, but Huo Zhengde actually thought it was a grace, which made Huo Huaiyu turn his attention to Lin Ruyi: "Mother, please help me, I, I love the Ninth Prince, you He also agrees with me and the Ninth Prince, but if I enter the palace, the Ninth Prince will definitely be angry, and he also likes me."

What Huo Huaiyu said made Lin Ruyi's eyes light up. If the Ninth Prince intervened, wouldn't Yu'er be able to avoid this disaster?
Huo Zhengde said at this moment: "The Ninth Prince should know about this matter."

Lin Ruyi looked at Huo Zhengde in disbelief, and suddenly burst into tears: "Master, even if you blame me for saying this, even if you blame me for committing a crime or being treasonous, I will say it anyway, just watch Yu'er fall into the fire pit like this ?"

Huo Zhengde was also unhappy in his heart. He originally thought that Huo Huaiyu could become the Ninth Princess. In this way, he was closely connected with the Ninth Prince. However, now that the imperial decree has been issued, if Huo Zhengde is to resist the decree , it is impossible for Huo Zhengde to do it.

He is deeply aware of Baili Zonglu's ability, and it must be Baili Zonglu's acquiescence in this matter, so the emperor can send the order to the general's mansion so quickly.

But Huo Zhengde did not expect, nor did Baili Zonglu, that Huo Mingzhu would actually do this!
Although he was shocked when he first found out, as Huo Zhengde said, he didn't want to stop it.

Why stop?The emperor's decree has already been issued. If you resist the decree openly at this time, you are not asking for trouble. Now the emperor is under heavy protection all day long, and the meal has to be tried several times before it enters the emperor's mouth. Assassination is unlikely.

Moreover, Baili Zonglu never thought of assassinating at this juncture. He has already confirmed that the emperor is terminally ill, and he may not be able to survive this winter. What he has to do now is how to get rid of the stupid prince before the emperor dies. , to obtain the qualifications to inherit the throne.

As for Huo Mingzhu, even though he couldn't understand what she was doing, Baili Zonglu let her do it, anyway, Huo Huaiyu was irrelevant to him.

Thinking of Baili Feng'er who had already occupied a position in the Lin family at this moment, Baili Zonglu showed a satisfied smile, fearing that no one would know that Baili Feng'er belonged to him.
