The doctor concubine who broke off the engagement was forced to rush to the wedding, but became the

In the Zhenxi General's Mansion, Zhao Zhige was pointing at his sister and scolding her, "Look at you, you've liked that guy since you were a kid. Now that he's offered you this opportunity, why don't you just put forward some conditions and ask him to accept you? You just treat him like meat in front of you, and you only look at him but don't eat him."

Zhao Qin waved her hand impatiently and said to her brother, "Hey, brother, stop talking. You said it yourself, this is a plate of meat in front of you, but you haven't eaten it yet, so who knows if it's really delicious? It's better to just look at it, at least it's pleasing to the eye."

Zhao Zhige was so angry that he shook his sleeves and said, "You, ah! Forget it, I don't care about your business anymore."

Zhao Qin smiled and pulled her brother's sleeve and said coquettishly: "Oh, brother, you are a great general who commands troops like a god on the battlefield, why don't you understand that a forced melon is not sweet. I am your biological sister, and you think I am good in this way and that way, but I may not be good in the eyes of others, and they just don't like me.

For example, you think my sister has a good personality, but if you really meet a girl with a personality like mine, would you fall in love with her and marry her home? "

Zhao Zhige thought about it and it seemed to be true, and he stopped talking instantly.

Zhao Qin said, "You should focus on the business. Have your people keep a close eye on the He family members these days."

Zhao Zhige's face suddenly darkened, and he said, "Li Jiao is simply going too far! He thinks that no one cares about his tainted harem, and that letting you enter the palace as a concubine is a gift to our family, and that I will be willing to be used by him and become his pawn to control the Yan Wen Mansion? He has a nice dream, but I will not let him realize this daydream."

On the second day, many rumors about the palace suddenly spread from some teahouses and taverns in Kyoto, and the central figures of the discussion turned out to be the current emperor and the empress dowager.

The most lively discussion took place in the Imperial College.

Even the students who had agreed to read books together in the library were all buried in conversation.

"Do you know? At the beginning, the palace announced that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had died suddenly, and the former Empress Dowager issued an imperial decree to make the current emperor the crown prince. Who would have known that the former crown prince was actually poisoned to death by the current emperor himself! How cruel! For the sake of the throne, he could kill his brother. How can such a person be worthy of being a king?"

"That's right. Not only the Crown Prince, but also the reason why the late Emperor died of illness at a young age was because the current Empress Dowager, the former Concubine De, deliberately made the late Emperor obsessed with elixirs. The alchemist was recommended to the palace by her mother's family, the He Mansion, in order to poison the late Emperor through elixirs so that he would give up his position as soon as possible. The current emperor must have known that the elixir was poisonous but did not stop it."

"Ah?! There is such a thing? This is really a case of killing one's brother and one's father. Wouldn't such a traitor be punished by heaven?"

"Who knows? It is said that good people don't live long, but evil people leave their mark for thousands of years. We ordinary people have a hard time in the future."

"If we are ordinary people, we can live comfortably even if we cover our eyes and ears. It is even more difficult for scholars like us. If we really pass the imperial examination and become an official, how can we be willing to serve such people?"

"Oh, I really hope there will be a punishment from heaven."

There were more and more rumors in the capital, and soon they reached the He Mansion.

He Kun hurried into the palace to ask for an audience with Emperor Jing Zhao and reported the rumors to him.

After hearing He Kun's report, Emperor Jing Zhao immediately turned into an angry lion, picked up a chair in the Taiji Hall and smashed it against the door frame.

"How can this be! I am the Son of Heaven, appointed by Heaven to govern these fools! How dare they fabricate faults against me! I will now order all these gossipers to be arrested, have their tongues pulled out, and be thrown to the Meridian Gate to be tortured to death! I wonder if anyone dares not to control their tongue!"

He Kun hurriedly stopped him, saying, "Your Majesty, you can't do that. The rumors are spreading like wildfire. Many people in Kyoto already know about them, and even many scholars in the Imperial College know about them. Is Your Majesty going to cut out the tongues of all the students in the Imperial College? Moreover, Your Majesty has just ascended the throne and the war has just ended. You should be benevolent and love the people, and you can't suppress the people and students with violence and blood."

Emperor Jing Zhao paced back and forth in the Taiji Hall, scratching his head and saying, "Benevolence, benevolence, they dare to shit and pee on my head, how can you expect me to be benevolent, grandfather?"

"I won't arrest all the people, but I will arrest a few typical ones to serve as a warning to others!"

"Someone! Someone, come quickly! Capture the storyteller from Yonghe Building and torture him to death on the spot."

He Kun hurriedly stopped him and said, "Your Majesty, no!"

Emperor Jing Zhao suddenly turned around, glared at He Kun and said, "Grandpa, if you want to talk more, don't blame me for being rude to you."

He Kun looked at Emperor Jing Zhao's almost possessed expression, sighed in his heart, pursed his lips, and shut up silently.

With such a mess happening in the capital, Emperor Jing Zhao had no intention of going to the harem again. He drank a lot of wine in his palace at night. While he was half asleep, he saw a eunuch walking in with a pot of wine.

"Your Majesty, this pot of Forget Three Lives is the best wine in the palace. It is said to have been brewed by a wine-brewing immortal when the Great Jin Dynasty was founded. I brought it to you specially. You must taste it carefully. After drinking it, you will be able to forget all your troubles and reach the bliss of life."

Emperor Jing Zhao was feeling annoyed by what happened during the day. Hearing this, he waved his hand and said, "Stop talking nonsense and bring it to me quickly."

When the eunuch carrying the wine approached, Emperor Jing Zhao felt that the person in front of him seemed familiar. He tried to open his eyes to look, but he only saw overlapping shadows. His hand felt cold. It was the servant who put the wine pot in his hand.

He took the wine in his hand, raised his head and drank a few sips, then looked at the servant in front of him, it was a double image, he also saw the corners of the man opposite him pulling to the sides, revealing a weird smile.

Emperor Jing Zhao felt that this smile seemed to be mocking his unjustified access to the throne, so he pointed at the person in front of him and said, "Stop laughing!"

Just after saying this, a fishy and sweet taste surged up from his throat, and a large amount of blood spurted out. He reached out and touched it, and the tip of his nose was also sticky.

Emperor Jing Zhao was shocked and pointed at the shadow in front of him and asked, "Who are you? What did you give me to drink?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he had already fallen to the ground, his whole body aching. He rolled around in pain, still shouting in panic: "Come, come quickly, there is an assassin, help, come and save me."

The eunuch picked up the wine pot on the ground and said to the person on the ground with a smile: "Your Majesty, this pot of wine is called both Forget Three Lives and Go to Hell. You killed my child, so naturally, as a mother, I have to send Your Majesty to accompany him."

It is said that he tore off the human skin mask on his face, revealing the face of Queen Cao.

Her crazy laughter echoed throughout the hall.

The imperial guards outside the palace quickly rushed in. When they saw the scene in the hall, they were horrified and immediately arrested Empress Cao. They also arranged for someone to go to the Imperial Hospital to call for the imperial physician.

Empress Cao was not panicked at all when a knife was placed on her neck. She just watched Emperor Jing Zhao lying on the ground slowly change from a dying fish to a completely motionless dead fish.

Her son could finally rest in peace.
