A goddess doctor came to Kaifeng

Ask the guard: "Who came to announce the decree?"

The guard replied, "It's Grand Duke Guo Huai."

Bao Gong and Gongsun Ce looked at each other with deep meaning, and both of them had joy in their eyes.

Seeing the expressions of the two of them, Cheng Yuelan roughly guessed in her heart, only thinking that what should come will eventually come, and her heart beat like thunder.

Let's say that everyone changed their court clothes and came to the court.

I saw Guo Huai in front, followed by two young eunuchs.

Holding the imperial decree in his hand, Guo Huai waited for everyone to kneel down, and then read: "By God, the emperor's edict said: The Lord Qinglan is gentle and quiet, with outstanding appearance. The Empress Dowager and I are very pleased with it. It is worthy of the Lord Qinglan to treat her daughter-in-law." Among them, Zhan Xiong Feitian, the fourth-rank imperial guard with a sword, set up a place to make a beautiful woman, and the princess Qinglan was betrothed to her. All etiquette will be handled jointly by the Ministry of Rites and Qintian Supervisor, and they will be married on a good day. Announcement Chinese and foreign envoys have heard about it. This—”

After Guo Huai finished reading, he said to Zhan Cheng and the two: "Princess Qinglan, guard Zhan, this is an imperial edict requested by the Queen Mother herself, and it is a great honor. From now on, we must honor the Queen Mother more, accept the order quickly."

Cheng Yuelan didn't expect it to be an imperial decree to bestow marriage, knowing that it was manipulated by Empress Dowager Liu for her wish.Thinking about the fact that the old case is about to be uncovered today, I don't know what to do, I overwhelmed the wall, forgot to move for a while, I just knelt down.

Zhan Zhao was very excited when he heard the imperial decree. Although he didn't know why the marriage was given suddenly, but it was a time of joy when he settled a concern.

At this time, he saw his sweetheart beside him in a daze, and said that she was too shy, so he reached out to support her and accepted the order.

Cheng Yuelan was in a daze, only to hear Bao Zheng yell angrily: "Take it!"

Over there, although Wang Chao and Ma Han didn't know what your lord meant, they had formed a habit over the years, and they immediately restrained Guo Huai and handcuffed him.

Cheng Yuelan's heart was in a state of confusion, she grabbed Zhan Zhao's arm tightly to stand still.Only now did Zhan Zhao guess that Bao Zheng was going to interrogate Concubine Li.

As expected of Guo Huai who has been walking in the palace for many years, he didn't panic at all when he saw this, he just asked: "What is the meaning of this, my lord? Your Majesty is still waiting for me to return to my life."

Seeing that he had moved out of Renzong, Bao Gong said to the two startled little eunuchs next to him, "I trouble you two father-in-laws to go back and report to you."

The two young eunuchs had never seen such a posture before, they hurriedly ordered their lives, and ran outside.

Bao Gong patted the tree in shock, and shouted: "Guo Huai, my servant, when you framed Concubine Li, how did you exchange for the crown prince? Tell me the truth!"

Guo Huai's heart skipped a beat when he heard him suddenly ask about the past, but he didn't show it at all, "Why did your lord say that? When Concubine Li gave birth to a monster, the first emperor was furious, and that's why he was so unfortunate. No one in the dynasty knows , there is no such thing as a slave."

When Baogong heard this, he knew that this person was slippery and that he could use extraordinary means to get out of crimes. He sneered in his heart and said, "It seems that he doesn't want to confess. If that's the case, then I'll serve you first."

Guo Huai heard that he was going to beat herself, and said angrily: "Don't you know that I am here to announce the decree under the order of the queen mother. You know the character of the queen mother. If the queen mother asks about it later, I'm afraid you will not be able to bear the blame."

Bao Zheng was unmoved, with a face as cold as the king of Hades, and said in a deep voice: "Hit—"

Left and right agreed, knocked Guo Huai to the ground and beat him twenty times.

Guo Huai had never been treated like this before, his skin was torn apart instantly, his teeth were grinning, and his mourning continued.

Bao Zheng asked again: "Are you convicted?"

At this time, Guo Huai knew that Baogong was going to investigate, but the matter was of great importance, so he had no choice but to change his mind, saying: "On that day, it was Concubine Li who gave birth to a monster and caused trouble for herself. What do I have to do with it?"

Bao Zheng then asked: "Since this is the case, why is there no body for Kou Zhu?"

Hearing the word "Kou Zhu", Guo Huai trembled all over, and was about to quibble, when the scene of killing Kou Zhu appeared in front of his eyes, which made him break out in a cold sweat.In addition, the [-]th board hit just now was really exhausted, and I couldn't sit still for a while, and I would pass out.

It turned out that although Kouzhu was a woman, she was from the Xianbei family, and she was born tall and strong.Back then Guo Huai was still young, even smaller and thinner than Kou Zhu.

He went to assassinate Kou Zhu under the secret decree of Empress Liu.Hiding in the dark of her room, when she turned around, he took a short knife and stabbed her in the heart.

Unexpectedly, the first time he killed someone, Guo Huai's hand trembled and he missed the stab, Kou Zhu turned around and knocked him to the ground, and the two of them fought back.

In the end, Kou Zhu died after suffering more than 40 knives. His intestines and brains flowed all over the floor.

Guo Huai was frightened, fearing that the corpse would arouse suspicion, he chopped the flesh into small pieces and fed them to the palace hounds.

Later, he always dreamed that Kou Zhu was looking for his life in a bloody mess, and he could only fall asleep by taking pills all year round.

Besides, when Bao Zheng saw him fainted on the ground, he had no choice but to take him into custody and leave the hall.

Bao Zheng stayed with Gongsun Ce to discuss countermeasures, and Zhan Zhao was about to stay with him when Master Bao said, "I see Princess Qinglan is not in good health today, why don't you help her back to her room first, Guo Huai's matter is not in a hurry .”

Hearing what he said, Zhan Zhao saw that Cheng Yuelan was indeed in a daze, so he agreed to leave.

The two of them walked silently, and when they reached the backyard, Cheng Yuelan suddenly asked softly, "Brother Zhan, what should you do if you are a criminal minister?"

Zhan Zhao was stunned for a moment, not knowing what she meant, seeing her eyes full of trust looking at him, soft and amiable under the moonlight, he said: "Then I will take the blame and pay for my sins with the rest of my life."

Cheng Yuelan smiled slightly, sighed softly, and said, "As expected, Big Brother Zhan is indeed a person of Qingfeng Jiyue. Yuelan will keep it in mind."

Zhan Zhao saw that there was something in her words, so he wanted to ask, and saw her looking up at the moon, and said, "Brother Zhan, look, the moonlight is so beautiful tonight. Do you still remember the day we met in the Valley of the Poison King, It's the same moonlight."

Zhan Zhao smiled and said, "I remember, I still remember accidentally hurting you at that time, but it scared me." Then, he stretched out his hand to hold the catkin hanging by Cheng Yuelan's side, and said softly: "It hurt so bad at that time. ?”

Cheng Yuelan blushed, and said in a low voice: "No, at that time I only thought that someone could rescue me, and it was too late to be happy."

Hearing what she said, Zhan Zhao felt even more pity in his heart. He took her hand and hugged her, "I will never let you be in that situation again."

Cheng Yuelan was full of thoughts in his arms, and finally she just nodded.

At dawn the next day, Gongsun Ce came to Cheng Yuelan's room and asked her to prepare a pair of pills, saying that it would be best to blur people's vision and produce hallucinations.

Cheng Yuelan heard that this was a plan to trick Guo Huai.

She had already made a decision yesterday, so she agreed immediately, and within half a day, she handed the pill to Gongsun Ce.

Let’s say Guo Huai was tricked by the jailer into taking pills and drinking some wine. She secretly planned in her heart that the Empress Dowager saw that he hadn’t returned all night, so she would definitely come to look for him today, as long as she survived the day.

I was thinking wildly when suddenly a cool breeze blew by.It was dusk, Guo Huai only felt that the prison cell was miserable and dim, and it was really hard to see clearly.

He was about to call the jailer to light the lamp, when he heard someone approaching at the end.

Guo Huai was startled for a while, and couldn't help feeling timid.

I saw the figure fluttering and flickering, without touching the ground, with black hair hanging down in front of his face, and red and white bloodstains all over his palace maid's robe.

The figure stopped in front of the door, with the moonlight on its back, and said gloomyly: "Eunuch Guo, do you recognize the slave family?"

Guo Huai still had a sliver of clarity, hearing that her voice was exactly the same as that of the dead Kou Zhu, she was so frightened that she knelt down on the ground, and tremblingly replied: "Kou, Kou Palace people, this, this is Empress Dowager Liu I mean, I don't mean it..." As he spoke, he grabbed the ground with his head and couldn't afford it.

The female ghost said again: "Spoken! You said it was the Empress Dowager Liu's intention. I am loyal to the Empress Dowager. Why did she want to take my life?"

Another gust of evil wind blew past, Guo Huai trembled, and continued to articulate a piece of anecdote from that year in a vague and intermittent manner.

It turned out that at that time Concubine Liu heard that the old man in the palace said that Concubine Li was pregnant with Lin'er, so she lured the imperial physician to conceal the date of pregnancy and gave birth to Empress Li on the day of confinement with the help of medicine.Finally, Concubine Li gave birth to a baby boy, and she gave birth to a preterm baby girl.

Fortunately, she had already formed an alliance with Grand Master Pang, and transferred the baby boy from Concubine Li's palace and replaced it with a civet cat.When the Holy Majesty was angry, some palace servants took advantage of the chaos to bring the baby boy into her palace.And her daughter was sent out of the palace by Kou Zhu.

Later, Empress Liu was afraid of causing trouble, so she cleaned up the relevant servants, including Kou Zhu.

This deceitful deception, stealing the beam and changing the post, ruined the lives of many people.

Bai Yutang pretended to be a female ghost and heard such a tragic secret history in the palace, no matter how many murders he had seen in the struggle for power, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly: Sure enough, this palace is a place where people cannibalize.

When Bai Yutang put away the disguise and reported back to Bao Zheng, Cheng Yuelan realized that her weak body was due to not being born at full term or being forced out by drugs.

She was just about to reveal her identity to Bao Gong, but Gongsun Ce stopped her and shook her head at her.

At this time, I heard Bao Zheng say: "Go to the imperial hospital to escort Wang imperial physician."

Let's say that Zhan Zhao escorted Imperial Physician Wang back to Kaifeng Mansion. This Imperial Physician Wang has been pampered and pampered for many years, and when he heard that he was about to be tortured, he took all the events of the past into custody.

Bao Zheng asked Guo Huai to go to the hall.

It was only then that Guo Huai realized that he had been tricked, but Doctor Wang had already confessed, so he had no choice but to press his fingerprints.

It so happened that Empress Dowager Liu came to the palace to order Guo Huai to return to the palace.

Bao Zheng then presented the official document he had already written and sent the visitor away.

On the second day, after the early court, Baogong told Renzong about this matter, and Renzong was shocked and angry, so he lifted his feet and went to Empress Dowager Liu's palace.

Zhan Zhao was on duty today, following Renzong's side, and stayed in Empress Dowager Liu's palace, seeing Cheng Yuelan in the clothes of a princess talking to Empress Dowager Liu, his eyelids twitched for some reason, and his chest felt tight.

The Empress Dowager Li finally returned to the mountain wilderness village to continue the frontier

Let's say that Renzong was so angry that he raised his foot and came to Renshou Palace.
