Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 257
"Doctor Fang."

"The humble minister is here." Fang Tai said.

"How is the emperor?" Huo Mingzhu asked.

Physician Fang said: "This...."

"I want you to answer truthfully." Huo Mingzhu's expression was quite polite at first, but now seeing Imperial Physician Fang faltering, her expression darkened.

Physician Fang hurriedly knelt down and said, "Queen Qi, my emperor's dragon body is probably..."

"But it doesn't matter."

"Queen, if this method of raising joy is useful, the emperor's dragon body is getting weaker and weaker. This... queen, this humble minister is desperate to say this. This method of raising joy may be ineffective." Physician Fang kowtowed to Huo Mingzhu after finishing speaking.

Doctor Fang meant that the emperor had no cure.

Huo Mingzhu frowned and said: "If you are useful, what do you need my Taoism to do? It is impossible for this technique of joy to make mistakes. You all get out of my way."

As he spoke, he hurried into the emperor's bedroom.

Huo Huaiyu had heard Huo Mingzhu's voice a long time ago, she was very happy, she thought that Huo Mingzhu liked the emperor, that's why she married the emperor so willingly, but she didn't like it.

This is not the point, the point is, Huo Mingzhu will definitely help her out of the palace, Huo Huaiyu thought, the Ninth Prince must not know that she was sent to the palace, if he knew, he would have come to rescue her long ago, as long as Huo Mingzhu can let her go After going out, she went to find the Ninth Prince, and the matter could be settled satisfactorily.

Maybe the Ninth Prince himself will carry out his plan, push the emperor down and replace him himself.By that time, she will be the queen!

Thinking of this, Huo Huaiyu couldn't wait to rush to Huo Mingzhu who just came in and said: "Sister, you are finally here, Yu'er has been looking forward to your coming."

Seeing Huo Huaiyu's current state, Huo Mingzhu frowned.

Seeing that Huo Mingzhu didn't speak, Huo Huaiyu kept staring at her, as if he was looking at something dirty, which made Huo Huaiyu unhappy, but this displeasure soon made her suppress it, and she still It was up to Huo Mingzhu to rescue her, so, regardless of Huo Mingzhu's alienation at the moment, she stepped forward and took Huo Mingzhu's hand and said, "Sister, save Yu'er out."

When Huo Huaiyu said this, Huo Mingzhu's expression changed drastically, and he shouted at Huo Huaiyu, "Bold."

Immediately, two nuns came up, pulled Huo Huaiyu's body away, and then kicked Huo Huaiyu's knee, and Huo Huaiyu knelt down straight.

The sound of the knee hitting the floor hard was crisp, Huo Huaiyu's face changed in pain, his eyes finally changed when he looked at Huo Mingzhu, he stared at Huo Mingzhu fiercely and said: "I knew it, it must be you Premeditated, you wanted me to die a long time ago, so you sent me to the emperor, you are so vicious."

"Gag her mouth." Huo Mingzhu ordered, and immediately, someone would carry out the order.

In the end, Huo Huaiyu was gagged, his hands and feet were bound, and he was thrown back on the emperor's dragon bed.

At this time, Huo Mingzhu said to the people around him: "Listen, don't let Empress Chongxi get off the bed, and eat on the bed, otherwise, if the formation of Chongxi is transformed and the emperor's dragon body is harmed, then you all will be killed." Even the Zhu Jiu Clan is not enough to kill them."

"Yes, I obey." Huo Mingzhu's words successfully frightened all the servants. Seeing them kneeling on the ground trembling, Huo Mingzhu knew that these servants would take good care of Huo Huaiyu.

Afterwards, Huo Mingzhu returned to her Yongning Palace.

That's how Huo Huaiyu lived on his first day as Empress Chongxi.

The next day, Imperial Physician Fang invited Xiao Dezi to the Empress Dowager's palace, and after reporting the situation here, the Empress Dowager ordered him to continue waiting in front of the Emperor.

During this period, the emperor woke up twice, once to relieve his hands, and once to have a meal, both on the dragon bed, and Huo Huaiyu was tied up all the time and thrown on the dragon bed, except for breakfast, someone took out the mouth-tied Cloth, after feeding breakfast, has been lying there.

On the evening of the third day, news came out from the palace that the emperor was coughing up blood again, and this time the coughing up of blood was so serious that the emperor coughed up a handkerchief full of blood, and finally passed out again.

As soon as this news came out, the whole palace panicked, and they were all guessing that this technique of celebrating happiness might be ineffective, maybe it was a vicious technique that killed people, otherwise the emperor was fine at first. After three days, the emperor coughed up blood twice.

Moreover, after three days without a king coming to court, and hearing the news that the emperor was coughing up blood, the ministers kept looking at Huo Mingzhu, accusing her one after another. She had heirs, and even killed the old emperor to support the new emperor, and sat on the highest position of a woman—the empress dowager.

Although there was no motive to kill the monarch, it also caused the fact that the emperor was in danger. Therefore, Huo Mingzhu was criticized by the officials, and the empress dowager was also on the side of the accusation at this time.

When these accusations reached a certain scale, they would attack in groups. However, before that, Huo Mingzhu herself appeared in front of the officials. She did not refute the accusations of the officials, nor did she shirk that the matter had nothing to do with her. , but said with a sad face: "What the ministers said is also the worry in my heart. I am afraid that this technique of making joy is not good."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar.

This joy-making technique was created by the queen herself, but now she is saying that this technique of making joy is probably not good, you know, the one tied at the end is the life of the king of the country.

Now, the emperor is getting weaker and weaker, and everyone has a perception in their hearts, that is, the emperor is afraid that he will die soon, but no one dares to tell about this matter, so they all stare at the queen one after another.

Huo Mingzhu said: "Ministers, if you feel that I am trying to confuse the public, I have no words to refute. Now, I am afraid that the only way to clear up the suspicion is to find out the reason why the technique of Chongxi was broken. .”

All the ministers look at me and I look at you. Finally, Luo Guogong came out and said to Huo Mingzhu: "Empress, if you can't give a satisfactory answer to the ministers, don't blame the ministers for disrespecting the empress."

"If I can't give a satisfactory answer, my head will be offered." Huo Mingzhu looked at the officials fearlessly.

As soon as Huo Mingzhu's words fell, Baili Zonglu said: "Queen, I don't care about your Taoism, I only care about the health of the emperor's brother."

"Physician Fang, you can answer the Ninth Prince's words." Huo Mingzhu raised her voice.

Physician Fang came up and saluted Baili Zonglu: "I report to the Ninth Prince, the emperor's dragon body is fine for the time being."

"Really, that's good." After hearing what Imperial Physician Fang said, Baili Zonglu glanced at Huo Mingzhu with a half-smile, and in the end he didn't continue to embarrass Huo Mingzhu, but walked to the side of the chair and sat down. His posture was waiting for Huo Mingzhu to give an explanation.

Baili Jingqi took a step forward and said to Huo Mingzhu, "I believe that the queen mother will not murder the emperor."

"The humble minister also believes it." A few ministers agreed.

Huo Mingzhu glanced at Baili Jingqi, and at this moment, Su Huan sent Huo Mingzhu's gossip compass over, and Huo Mingzhu took the gossip compass and began to check the calculations.

However, the more she counted, the more she wrinkled her eyebrows. In the end, she seemed to have been greatly frightened, and the compass in her hand fell to the ground.

After the compass fell to the ground, it immediately broke into two halves. Huo Mingzhu stared blankly at the pieces on the ground, as if unable to recover.

Sulu exclaimed, stepped forward to support Huo Mingzhu's body and said, "Empress, what's wrong with you."

Huo Mingzhu was silent.

The officials also looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what happened to Huo Mingzhu, to be precise, what it was that caused her to be so frightened.

Huo Mingzhu raised her head to look at the ministers with a pale face. When her gaze swept over Baili Zonglu, she paused for a moment, and finally, she stopped her gaze on Huo Zhengde.

Huo Zhengde felt his eyelids twitching uncontrollably, especially when he met Huo Mingzhu's gaze, his heartbeat started to speed up, and he had an ominous premonition.

The scene suddenly fell into an extremely quiet place, and everyone didn't even dare to vent their breath. Everyone stared at Huo Mingzhu and Huo Zhengde, wondering why Huo Mingzhu looked at Huo Zhengde like this.

The queen mother couldn't help but shouted to Huo Mingzhu: "Queen, what are you trying to do?"

Huo Mingzhu seemed startled by the Queen Mother's voice, and knelt directly in front of the Queen Mother and said, "Queen Mother, this concubine deserves to die, this concubine is sorry for the Queen Mother."

As she said that, Huo Mingzhu's eyes were already red.

As soon as these words came out, the officials were in an uproar again, Baili Jingqi frowned tightly, even Baili Zonglu also focused his attention on Huo Mingzhu, guessing what Huo Mingzhu wanted to say.

Huo Mingzhu took a few deep breaths, as if to be able to stabilize herself, and then slowly said: "Queen Mother, the joy technique has failed."

"What!" The queen mother stared at Huo Mingzhu with her eyes wide open, as if she couldn't believe what Huo Mingzhu said, the joy trick failed, the emperor's life.

Thinking of this, even the Queen Mother, who had always been mentally prepared, still couldn't bear the blow and shook a few times, causing the officials to exclaim.

Huo Mingzhu shouted: "Queen Mother, you must calm down, the body of the phoenix is ​​important." Then, as if some important decision had been made, he stood up and said to the officials: "My dear family, this is because the palace is not cautious enough. I thought that I could change the emperor's fate and give the emperor a healthy dragon body by calculating the extremely yin body, but I didn't calculate it, my sister, my sister is not perfect."

Speaking of this, Huo Mingzhu shook as if she couldn't bear it, but thanks to Su Hui supporting her, she didn't fall down.

Huo Mingzhu took a deep breath before saying: "Huo Guozhang, you are guilty."

When the ministers heard this, the Empress Chongxi was not perfect, and I am afraid that it really broke the key to the technique of Chongxi. In this way, Huo Zhengde, who deceived others, is a sinner of the court.

Huo Zhengde looked at Huo Mingzhu in disbelief. He thought that Huo Mingzhu had made a mistake, or he had heard it wrong.

Looking at Huo Mingzhu in a daze, Huo Mingzhu said again: "Mother Liu, go and check whether what I said is true."

The corners of the mouths of the people present suddenly turned to Baili Zonglu. He had a part in this matter. Of course, Huo Huaiyu was not perfect, but Baili Zonglu couldn't figure out why Huo Mingzhu was so vicious to his sister. Huo Zhengde Isn't it her father?

If this matter is true, then Huo Zhengde's end can be seen.

The queen mother hurriedly said: "Mother Liu, hurry up, go and check it, check it carefully."

Nanny Liu took the order to go out, and after a while, she came back and said something in the Queen Mother's ear, and the Queen Mother's face immediately changed: "You bastard."

However, the empress dowager was so excited that she obviously couldn't bear it. She clutched her chest and gasped for breath. Huo Mingzhu sent someone to send the empress dowager back to Renshou Palace, and sent an imperial physician to follow her, and promised that the matter would be handled properly so that the empress dowager would definitely satisfy.

The empress dowager's bastard sentence made everyone understand that it is true that the empress dowager said that she was not a virgin before entering the palace. Therefore, it is very clear who should bear the crime of persecuting the emperor. .
