Chapter 77 The Emperor Has Fallen

Chen Feng approached step by step and came to the bedside, and then he saw the pale face of Emperor Yongle.At this moment, Chen Feng just remembered one thing.Emperor Yongle died in August 1424, and now it is April 1423, which is one year and a few months from the emperor's death date.

Emperor Yongle didn't have much time left, and it was reasonable to be sick now.

"Your majesty, are you...are you alright?" Chen Feng asked.His feelings are very complicated, the emperor in front of him seems far away, yet close at hand.

Emperor Yongle asked him to keep the gold medal, and even promised Dugu Yu to give him the Xuanyuan Sword, so the emperor's care for Chen Feng can be seen.

This time the emperor summoned him, it must not be as simple as a meeting.No matter what, the emperor is kind to Chen Feng, and Chen Feng will definitely do something for him within his capacity.

Zhu Di looked at Chen Feng for a long time, forced a smile, and said, "I'm really sick. I met you at the inn not long ago, but now it's difficult for me to get out of bed and walk, alas..."

"Your Majesty is blessed by the gods. I believe you will get better soon." Chen Feng said against his will. He couldn't say that you would die in a year.

Zhu Di asked, "Do you believe in gods?"

Chen Feng was stopped by the question and didn't know how to answer for a while.

Zhu Di laughed again, Chen Feng's hesitation had actually given the answer.If you believe in the existence of gods, you can naturally answer without hesitation.

"You don't need to answer. No number of emperors in ancient and modern times can live forever. Even if there are gods, why should they protect me! I know my body best, but the disease came like a mountain. This disease came too suddenly. Some." At this point, Zhu Di suddenly fell silent.

There was something in his words, as if he was doubting the cause of his illness.

Chen Feng couldn't just stand there stupidly, and simply asked: "Your Majesty, what doubts do you have?"

Zhu Di looked at Chen Feng with piercing eyes, and the previous illness was gone.If it weren't for his unstable breath and still pale face, Chen Feng almost thought he had recovered.

"Chen Feng listens!" Zhu Di suddenly said in a low voice.

Chen Feng didn't react for a while, Zhu Di said with a straight face: "Quickly kneel down!"

After this reminder, Chen Feng knelt in front of the bed. He only heard Zhu Di's voice coming from the bed: "I order you to walk freely in the palace and investigate the source of my illness! The imperial guards are at your disposal, and we will investigate clearly. You are not allowed to leave the palace before!”

Chen Feng's heart dropped and he asked tremblingly: "Your Majesty, you have Jinyiwei, Mingtang, and Dongchang under your command, why do you want me, a waiter from a small shop, to come to the palace to investigate? I am an outsider after all!"

However, Zhu Di didn't intend to take back the order, and said: "I follow my order, if you dare to resist the order, it will be a death penalty!"

The emperor is the emperor, you have no room for negotiation in front of him.Zhu Di's daring to meet Chen Feng alone is not only his trust in Chen Feng, but also his respect for him.

Although this decree seemed unquestionable, there was no need for Chen Feng to turn against Zhu Di because of this.The world is relatively stable tomorrow, and Chen Feng will not be stupid enough to take action against the emperor.

"The grassroots lead the decree!" Chen Feng reluctantly agreed.

Zhu Di softened his attitude and said with a smile: "You should get up first. I really have no one to entrust to you, so I found you. When I first met you, I thought you were just a slippery boy, but then I heard After talking a lot about you, I realized that you are very witty. If I ask you to take action this time, I will definitely find out the results, and I will reward you well when the time comes!"

"The reward will be waived. Martial arts practitioners have no desires or desires. If you really have the heart, it would be nice to give you a beautiful princess!" Chen Feng muttered to himself.

"What did you say?" Because Chen Feng was only talking to himself, so his voice was very low, so Zhu Di naturally couldn't hear clearly, "I seem to have heard something about the princess, don't you want to be a son-in-law?"

Chen Feng quickly changed his words: "It's the emperor's servant, I mean I will do my best to find out the truth."

Zhu Di smiled and said: "That's good. In fact, it's not a bad idea to let you be your concubine, but you got married a few days ago. I can't let my daughter be your concubine."

Chen Feng just joked a few words casually, how could he have any intention of marrying the princess.Now that you have received the decree, you must understand the situation as soon as possible.If no results can be found, being placed under house arrest in the palace is a minor matter, maybe the emperor will chop off his head in a fit of anger.

He immediately entered the state and said: "Your Majesty, I still have a few things to ask before the investigation. First, how do you know that your illness is caused by others, in case no one is manipulating it, but you No matter how much I investigate, I’m afraid I won’t be able to find out the results.”

Zhu Di said solemnly: "Don't you understand my body? Although I have a small illness occasionally, it will never be so serious suddenly. I have been recuperating for more than ten days, but I still haven't improved. When I met Dugu Yu, I also Don’t be confused, otherwise it wouldn’t have led to the current ending.”

There is one more thing that Zhu Di didn't say, the inscription Chen Feng gave when he got married was also written by the emperor in his hospital bed.In fact, at that time, he thought about asking Chen Feng to investigate, but Chen Feng was an outsider after all, so Zhu Di had been hesitating, until now he had to call Chen Feng into the palace.

When Dugu Yu was mentioned, Chen Feng also felt sentimental.Although Zhu Di was still awake, but he couldn't get out of bed at that time, and he couldn't see people clearly in a daze, so naturally he didn't notice Dugu Yu's strangeness.

Zhu Di continued: "It's not just the cause of my illness. From my point of view, there are people who have been trying to frame me these days. Maybe it's the imperial doctor who diagnoses and treats me, maybe it's the eunuch who makes the medicine, or maybe it's the palace maid who delivers the medicine. Anyway, There are only a handful of people in the entire palace that I can trust!"

Chen Feng immediately said: "Where is the prince? The prince will never harm you!"

"The crown prince followed Zhang Fu to the north. Although I have sent someone to deliver the letter, he didn't come back so fast from the front line. In addition, his body is not as strong as mine. I am afraid that he will ignore his body in a hurry and go on a journey day and night. Hurry up, in case there is an accident along the way... So I just wrote an ordinary transfer order, counting the time, it will take seven or eight days for him to arrive in the capital, I am afraid I won't be able to wait for him!" Zhu Di's voice became louder Weaker and weaker, it doesn't look good.

Chen Feng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please rest first, it is important to keep the dragon's body."

Zhu Di said: "No, I still have something I haven't explained clearly. Since I was sure that someone was behind the scenes, I have never dared to take medicine again. Because I take medicine, my condition is getting worse, but without medicine, my condition is also getting worse. , so I'm afraid that I won't be able to wait until the prince comes back. I have no choice but to call you into the palace. A few days ago, I ordered Dongchang to investigate the matter. But they have no clues. I'm afraid that even Dongchang will be involved, leaving the rest Jinyiwei and Mingtang, I don’t dare to trust them. Besides, this is a harem matter, so it’s not easy for them to investigate. After thinking about it, you are the only one who can help me. Chen Feng, even if I ask you, you must Find out as soon as possible..."

At this point, Zhu Di coughed violently, not knowing whether he missed the breath or for some reason, coughing up a pool of blood and leaving it on the quilt, and finally passed out.

Chen Feng's heart skipped a beat, if something happened to Zhu Di, he was the only one in the bedroom, maybe he would be charged with all the crimes.

He quickly shouted: "It's bad, it's bad, the emperor has passed out, come quickly!"

There were many people guarding outside. When they heard Chen Feng shouting from inside the palace, they could no longer care about so many people and broke in one by one.

They were led by a white-haired eunuch who seemed to have a lot of status.He glanced at Zhu Di, who was unconscious on the bed, and then at Chen Feng, who was at a loss, and shouted angrily: "You are so bold and cunning, you dare to assassinate the emperor, you must die!"

I saw his right hand flicking, seemingly soft, and suddenly slapped a palm.

That palm force was extremely feminine, obviously trying to kill Chen Feng.Once Chen Feng died, there would be no evidence to prove it. At that time, the eunuchs could say whatever they wanted, and no one else could find out the truth.

Chen Feng definitely would not sit still and wait for death. He quickly slapped a palm, and suddenly a dragon roared, and a blazing heat rose in the palace. The Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms came out powerfully, colliding with the feminine palm power.

Suddenly there was a muffled "bang", and the impact force made the white-haired eunuch take two steps back. This was the impact force of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. Although Chen Feng did not receive any impact, a trace of feminine palm force penetrated into the body. The body immediately penetrated into the bones, wanting to melt away the muscles and bones...
