Chapter 18

An indescribable sense of frustration welled up in his heart, Luan Tiance really didn't understand.

If Ming Youchen knew that he would plot, why didn't he take precautions and instead deliberately ordered the general who could really overthrow Tiandu to obey his orders?

Did Ming Youchen seek his own death?Is he jealous of Luo Feixun?Or put on a show and say something nice to coax that honest man Nangong Rui?But was taken seriously by the other party?

Thoughts were running wildly in his mind, Luan Tiance didn't even know when Du Chengjing came in and waved the two little eunuchs to retreat.

"Your Majesty, old slave, may I ask which empress's palace to rest tonight?"

"I'm not going anywhere! Just stay here in Zixiao Palace!"

Luan Tiance sat back on the dragon chair slumped, and suddenly thought of Ming Youchen who was sick and led the army to rescue him that day under his schemes, and the situation of being calm and regretless after learning that he was framed, his chest suddenly felt hot, and his heart faintly felt A strange thought, could it be that Ming Youchen finally cared about him a little, so he ordered Nangong Rui to be loyal to him?

Although this idea made Luan Tiance feel absurd, and the emperor himself felt that he could not let the deep Ming Youchen of the city mansion back down and sacrifice to that extent, but every time this thought came across, Luan Tiance still felt his heart beating violently, His body trembled uncontrollably, and he even felt like he couldn't breathe properly.

"Let's go to Yehong Palace in the evening. Let the imperial dining room cook some light dishes that he usually likes to eat. Don't overcook the ginseng soup. His body won't be able to bear it."

"Yes." Seeing that the emperor softened his breath when he mentioned that "he", and the expression on his face became gentle, Du Chengjing sighed inwardly, but calmly went out to deliver the order.

Luan Tiance took his lunch, thinking about what Nangong Rui told him, how could he be in the mood to deal with those unimportant government affairs, so he sat distracted for a while and left Zixiao Palace.

Looking back and seeing the large group of palace maids and servants with dull faces following behind him, the emperor felt irritated and angry again.With a gloomy face, he refused to let everyone follow, and only took Du Chengjing towards Yehong Palace.

Everyone now feels that Tianyan's mood is unpredictable, it is difficult to figure out the Sacred Heart, and no one dares to follow.

Luan Tiance led his personal servants to Yehong Palace very quickly.

The guards and waiters who stayed in this palace saw the emperor coming alone, they all knew that as usual, no one would be allowed to enter and inform Ming Youchen to pick him up.However, at this moment, a small palace maid came forward to report that King Xin had been bored in the room for a long time, and just went to the front yard to get some air with General Luo who came to visit.

The emperor nodded, he allowed Ming Youchen to walk around inside and outside Yehong Palace, but he didn't want to make Ming Youchen panic.He gave Ming Youchen maximum freedom. If it were another emperor, he would be escorted to prison even if he didn't kill the powerful officials who had controlled the government for many years, but that person didn't appreciate it, and treated him more casually than before.

Thinking of this, a ruthless light flashed in Luan Tiance's eyes, and he walked slowly towards the courtyard where Ming Youchen was.The emperor was full of doubts when he thought that the confidant minister he relied on offered his farewell to him before Nangong Rui, but Luo Feixun actually came to this sensitive place to visit the former prime minister who was under house arrest before departure.

However, Luan Tiance would not doubt Luo Feixun's loyalty to him. Even though the Zhennan General was as honest as Nangong Rui, the emperor was still confident that he could drive Luo Feixun.I believe that the other party also understands this point so that they don't care about the eyes around them, and come to Yehong Palace to talk to Ming Youchen frankly.

"Should I call you an adult or a prince?"

From afar, Luan Tiance heard Luo Feixun's implicitly sarcastic tone drifting over from the courtyard with the wind.

Hearing hatred and hostility from Luo Feixun's words, Luan Tiance felt a little relieved, at least his general was not an ambush laid down by Ming Youchen early on, which made the emperor feel that his dignity was at least guaranteed.

"Why does the general of Zhennan know what to ask? The current Ming Youchen has no official position, but is just a nominal prince under house arrest. I don't know why the general is here?" Ming Youchen's indifferent tone sounded, as if he didn't recognize the visitor sarcasm.

"This general has bid farewell to the emperor, and will lead the army back to the south in a few days. Before leaving, I came here to visit the prime minister, who used to be in power, to see if the life of the famous lord is going well after he is suddenly free."

"General Luo, I know that there are many villains who have fallen into trouble and asked the emperor to convict my lord. You and General Nangong are tied for the top of all generals. You have a high position and an unusual bearing. The general should not be like those people... "

"Don't worry. Gentlemen are not party members, how can this general join forces with those shameless people?" Luo Feixun interrupted the servant who was still accustomed to calling Ming Youchen his lord with a long laugh, and his tone suddenly became extremely ruthless, "Luo Feixun This visit just wants to tell King Xin that if one day you offend the emperor and be sentenced to death, I would rather resign from the official position and gallop to the capital, begging the emperor to let me cut off your head with my own hands."

As soon as these words came out, Luan Tiance outside the courtyard was slightly stunned, wondering why his trusted minister hated Ming Youchen so much.

"General Luo, why do you have such deep hatred for my lord? You clearly have no grudges in the past, but you have no grudges these days." Shen Ye trembled when he heard it, and asked in a trembling voice with Gu Deng.

"You two little eunuchs are very loyal to Ming Youchen." Luo Feixun said calmly with a restrained smile.

"General Luo, you hate me for killing your brother. It's human nature. When the emperor decides how to deal with me in the future, you can just find me. I hope you don't spread your grievances on innocent people." Ming Youchen His voice was extremely flat, as if he knew everything already, which surprised Luo Feixun and Luan Tiance.

"You already know who I am?"

"When Song Taiwei was young, he owed a romantic debt to a woman in a brothel. He has always been respectful and law-abiding, and he tried his best to hide that he had an illegitimate son. Unfortunately, this secret can't be kept from me. All the guards around the emperor back then, I let people Get in clearly."

"Since you know that I am Song Zhenshan's eldest brother, why have you been holding back all this time? Then you expected that the emperor sent me to the south?"

"From the moment I received the news that you were seriously ill and that I transferred two deputy generals to the south to exterminate the remnants of the southern barbarians that suddenly appeared, I already guessed that the emperor would let you go north secretly and join him to deal with me. "

"You understand that everything is the meaning of the emperor. Why did you turn a blind eye to my control of the southern military power first, and then acquiesce in my actions?" Luo Feixun put away his lust and madness, thinking that the plan he and Luan Tiance thought to be going smoothly had already fallen behind. There was a chill in the man's eyes.

If Ming Youchen had had someone assassinate him on his way to the south, then not only would he not have the glory and wealth he has today, but the emperor would not know when he would be able to regain power... Maybe, today, there would be no chance at all.

"Before I was busy assisting the government. I needed the help of a large number of trustworthy and talented people. Therefore, I was less restrained by some clansmen and disciples in the family. Too much power gave them unnecessary ambitions. It will be a disaster for the imperial court to keep these officials who only want to seek their own interests, it would be better to end this, and it would be clean."

"Papa papa." Luo Feixun clapped his hands vigorously and praised three times, and then said, "I used to think that you were just a powerful minister who was eyeing the throne. Now it seems that even if you are such a person, you still have a heart for the country." Thinking for the people; and thinking about your political achievements over the years, I finally understand why the emperor can't bear to kill you."

Ming Youchen didn't speak, and turned a deaf ear to Luo Feixun's praise, just as calmly as he ignored the other party's sarcastic words before.

"Let me tell you the truth. My lord." Luo Feixun finally called Ming Youchen like this again, and Luan Tiance guessed that his trusted minister still respected this enemy in front of him, "Although I am Zhenshan's eldest brother, I admit that , You made the right decision to kill him."

After a slight pause, Luo Feixun spoke slowly while Luan Tiance outside the courtyard was shocked again.

"The night before my younger brother was executed, the emperor took me to see him. The emperor didn't know that Zhenshan and I were half brothers. This was the only thing Zhenshan and I kept from the emperor. Because our If my normally dignified father heard rumors about my life experience, he would definitely brandish his sword and kill himself in front of the ancestral hall."

Before Luo Feixun said this, Ming Youchen waved Gu Deng and Shen Ye away, and Luan Tiance, who heard the footsteps of the two young eunuchs outside the courtyard, knew that this was Ming Youchen's intentional protection, in case General Luo killed him in the future. .

Thinking of Ming Youchen being so indifferent to him but defending these two servants everywhere, although the emperor was curious about the brother relationship between Luo Feixun and Song Zhenshan at this moment, he still couldn't help showing jealousy in his eyes.

"Zhenshan was so grateful to the emperor for seeing him that he had no fear or regret before dying. At that moment, I knew that no matter whether he lost his life because of being implicated by the emperor or the emperor personally ordered him to die, he would be willing." , Carry out the king's order without resentment.

Luo Feixun sighed lightly when he said this, and continued after a moment of distraction.

"The emperor couldn't stay for a long time at that time. He saw Zhen Shan and left in a hurry. He asked me to stay for him for a while. When we brothers were alone, I was greatly surprised by what Zhen Shan said next."

"Really?" Ming Youchen asked casually, as if he just didn't want Luo Feixun, the dignified general of Zhennan, to keep singing a one-man show.

"Do you know? Zhenshan said that you killed him, and you killed him very well! Because he has long had some inexplicable and unexplainable other thoughts about the emperor, and he has always only wanted to serve the emperor loyally. To be able to accompany you all the time, and to do things that he thinks are good for the emperor. If someone like him with dirty ideas controls military power, he might not be able to control his own heart in the future, causing a catastrophe and making the world All, even the emperor was ashamed."

"I didn't realize that at the time. I just didn't want to leave behind disobedient officials." Ming Youchen said lightly, hearing Song Zhenshan's words before his death that were deviant to the world. Exuding hatred and strangeness.

Luan Tiance understood Ming Youchen's thoughts, that person must have seen Song Zhenshan's thoughts for him, because he and the other party had already committed serious crimes against morality.

"My lord is really broad-minded and open-minded. You know, when I heard my brother say that, I couldn't help feeling disgusted and angry with him."

Luo Feixun stared at Famous Youchen's face, and found that he really didn't seem to mind Song Zhenshan's admiration for Luan Tiance, so he slowed down his tone and continued with a warm voice.

"No matter how treacherous Zhenshan is, he is my closest family member. My lord, do you know that after my mother died, my Taiwei father took me into the Song residence as a domestic servant? Accompany Zhenshan."

Luan Tiance nodded secretly when he heard this, and Song Taiwei, who had always been self-proclaimed, refused to welcome the children born to women from brothels into his mansion, so he had to use this method.

"Ever since he overheard a conversation between me and my father and knew that I was his eldest brother, he treated me with respect. Even when his father recommended him to be a servant in the palace, it was he who said that if I didn't go, he would rather spend his whole life. Staying at home, not seeking wealth and prosperity. My father has no choice but to think about my future and try to push us brothers to the palace as errands."

"Do you want to say that you don't care about the Song family's surname, but you care about your half-brother." Ming Youchen finally uttered a long sentence after hearing this, "So you do your best for the emperor, In addition to awe of his great talent and willingness to pay loyalty to him, there is another purpose - you want to help the emperor attack me, or find an opportunity to kill me to avenge your younger brother?"

"My lord is quick-witted, and he is really good at guessing people's wishes. Yes, this is exactly the purpose of my coming to see you. I am here to tell you clearly, I, Luo Feixun, will never forgive you for killing your younger brother! But you belong to the capital of heaven. Hero, you have made countless contributions to my court, and the emperor has no intention of killing you at the moment; I respect your talent and magnanimity, and I will obey the emperor's decision and will not move you for the time being. But if one day I can seize the opportunity to get rid of you , I will definitely not let it go! Please keep it firmly in mind, my lord!"

After saying these words, Luo Feixun took a deep look at Ming Youchen, turned around resolutely, and strode away from the east gate.

"My lord, that General Luo didn't make things difficult for you, did he?" Shen Ye, who was retreating in the distance, saw Luo Feixun leaving, and hurried over.

"He looks so fierce, his eyes are so wide open, as if he is going to chop an adult into pieces! It's really scary." The lonely lamp rushed to speak unhappily.

"You don't have to worry about it. That General Luo is a man of temperament, and he is very loyal to the emperor. He wouldn't do anything to me before he got the imperial edict. He just came here to complain and play a show of prestige."

Seeing that the two confidantes were still worried, Ming Youchen smiled lightly and said a few words of comfort.

"If the emperor really intends to get rid of me one day, this general Luo may not run to the capital to kill me as he said. He also understands this, and now he just said it to let himself It’s all about feeling better. This person knows how to advance and retreat, understands how powerful he is, knows when to attack and protect himself, and has a certain degree of loyalty to the court. He is indeed more suitable to be a courtier than Song Zhenshan."

"My lord, you can hold your breath and be generous. Well, this servant also thinks that although General Luo is fierce, he doesn't look like a bad guy, but you know that those other people in the palace have been talking about you behind your back recently. ?"

"What did they say about me?" Ming Youchen asked in a rare mood, probably because he thought the indignant expressions of the two servants who were always around him were funny.

"They said you... Forget it, the slaves can't say those vile and disgusting words, so as not to pollute your ears!" Gu Deng said angrily: "Those people used to be respectful when they met adults and us, and they didn't dare to speak loudly. The emperor often came to stay in Yehong Palace at that time, why didn't you hear them gossip?"

"Now that the sky has just changed, those guys with stinky mouths are talking nonsense behind their backs, making the adults so embarrassing, it seems to be one, one... Oh, bah bah bah, slaves don't repeat what they said!"

"If you feel aggrieved, how about waiting for the emperor to come next time and I beg him to transfer you to another palace?"

"My lord, are you joking? The servant will not leave you!"

"You are so kind to the slaves, you didn't look down on us as eunuchs, even if you die, the slaves will never leave you!"

"Forget it, I didn't ask you to follow the leader to rescue you, so I guessed that today would come. At that time, I wanted to send you to other concubines on duty, but you two have been with me for many years, so you can go You will also be made things difficult for me, so I decided to let you stay for now. Let’s talk about it later, but it’s been too difficult for you recently.”

"Your Excellency treats the servants very well when you are in power. Could it be that after you are in trouble, the servants will have the audacity to abandon you?" Gu Deng and Shen Ye said one after another, and knelt down in a hurry.

Luan Tiance could no longer be at peace when he heard this, Ming Youchen's previous words undoubtedly admitted that it was he who gave up the kingship intentionally.

The emperor held on to the palace wall for a long time and was speechless. Luo Feixun had walked through the east gate before, so he could go straight out of the palace, so he didn't run into him. But now he suddenly knew all the truth about his regaining power. All previous complacency and complacency were smashed to pieces and could never be picked up again.

Regardless of what the two little eunuchs in the courtyard had said, Luan Tiance turned around abruptly, and ran out of Yehong Palace like a madman. All the people who met the emperor along the way knelt down, not daring to look at the extremely hideous and terrifying emperor at the moment. glance.

Du Chengjing hurriedly ordered these people not to tell Ming Youchen that the emperor had been there, and then hurriedly followed the emperor's frantic footsteps to the Imperial Garden.

The jealous emperor drew out his sword, roared and stabbed vigorously, breaking all the flowers, plants and trees in front of him, and the old eunuch had no choice but to step aside obediently.

Luan Tiance was chopping flowers and plants, but he still couldn't get over his anger in the end. He quickly ran to a rockery, swiped his sword recklessly and sharply, making the blade of the sword and the bluestone "crack, crack, crack" and sparks flew everywhere. It was broken into two pieces before slightly suppressing the surging anger.

The sense of frustration that he felt in Nangong Rui before became even stronger, and now Luan Tiance felt more humiliated.Thinking of his stupid self-satisfied appearance in front of Ming Youchen like an idiot these days, the emperor really wished he could kill that man immediately and then kill himself with a sword.

If it weren't for Ming Youchen's willingness to indulge and give in, would he still rule the world at this moment, stepping on the king and brandishing the country?

Luan Tiance couldn't imagine, what was that person thinking in his heart when he triumphantly demonstrated in Mingyouchen and declared victory and control?

Will Ming Youchen think him childish, ridiculous, and absurd as before, or will he feel like a clown with a bad voice, performing alone on the stage?

"He, why do you want to do this?"

Luan Tiance seemed to be talking to himself or asking the people around him, and finally squeezed out the words through his teeth after a long silence, full of viciousness and coldness.

"Your Majesty, forgive this old slave for being bold. People in the entire Tiandu, including the old slave, can't figure out the king of Xin, and feel that he is arrogant and doesn't take His Majesty seriously. He seems to be suspected of taking the throne. The king had any rebellious words and deeds in the past, he has no selfishness towards the military and political power in Tiandu, and thinking about it the other way around, this is also a good thing."

"A good thing? Well, I don't understand. He can predict everything before others, and he knows how to use it well... Just like the two lieutenants he sent to the south, although they are his retainers, Luo Feixun has come to intercede for them, saying that those two are rare generals in a hundred years, and they are loyal to both Ming Youchen and Tiandu. Used."

When Luan Tiance said this, he suddenly turned around and stared at Du Chengjing, and shouted sharply: "You said, he could have replaced me or controlled me forever, why does he always underestimate my ability and play me like a chess piece?" ?”

"Your Majesty calm down, this old slave doesn't know what the King believes." Du Chengjing thought for a while, then lowered his voice and closed his mouth: "However, this old slave thinks that he may really have no intention of harming His Majesty."

"What do you know, tell me quickly!" Luan Tiance heard that there seemed to be deep meaning in the old servant's words, and immediately urged.

"The old slave said before that as long as His Majesty wants to know, he will know everything. Even if His Majesty listens to it and thinks that the old slave is an eyesore in the future, and intends to make the old slave shut up forever, the old slave has no complaints."

"Forgive your innocence, tell me quickly!" Luan Tiance frowned impatiently and growled again, his mood plummeted even more, seeing Du Chengjing hesitating in his speech, he intuitively felt that Ming Youchen must have something to do with the former emperor.

"Presumably Your Majesty also knows that after meeting the famous lord of the past, who is now Prince Xin, the late Emperor couldn't tolerate others."

Luan Tiance was silent, so why wasn't he so fascinated by that person, even hating him to the extreme, he was reluctant to kill him.

"However, the former emperor's concentration and endurance are much stronger than the current majesty's. The first emperor only has that person in his heart, but he treats him with courtesy, except for the time when the lord was injured, the first emperor was angry and worried. Apart from keeping him warm, he did not cross the threshold."

"What he means is that the royal father and him... have never been? Then, that night when the royal father called him alone..."

Du Chengjing was extremely shocked when he heard this, stared at his emperor in a daze, and slowly shook his head to indicate that Ming Youchen had never had any real contact with the late emperor.

Luan Tiance froze for a moment.

He always believed that Ming Youchen and the first emperor had an unforgettable love, and their life and death parting that night must have been extremely lingering. Every time he thinks about it, he feels like being bitten by a poisonous snake, full of jealousy and unwillingness.

How do you know that he has been thinking wrong all along?His father and Ming Youchen have no physical relationship.So, he is the first and only one to embrace Ming Youchen?

A trace of irrepressible joy gushed out of his complicated mood just now, Luan Tiance spoke again as if he was feeling emotional when he heard Du Chengjing.

"That night, the first emperor asked the old slave to guard outside the palace gate, and only sent a lord to enter. The old slave was outside to clearly understand what the two of them said. The first emperor was only supporting the famous lord, Keep pouring out your love and guilt to him."

"They just got along like this? They didn't do anything else?" Although he learned the truth and explained the unhappiness and doubts that had been suppressed in his heart for many years, Luan Tiance still felt unbelievable.

"I think the first emperor was very depressed. It was not until Bintian ago that he couldn't help calling a lord to his side to express his feelings. There was indeed an innocence between them."

Pretending to be ignorant of the bright light that suddenly flashed from the emperor's eyes full of indignation, Du Chengjing said unhurriedly: "My lord listened quietly to what the late emperor said, and he never opened his mouth to respond. When it was bright, he said a word... Alas, this sentence, this old slave will always remember."

"What did he say?" Luan Tiance couldn't bear such dawdling at the moment, impatiently asking again and again.

"My lord said, thank you for your great love, your majesty, please don't worry about it, he will definitely treat the prince well in his life."

Having said this, Du Chengjing couldn't help but sighed heavily again.

Needless to say, Luan Tiance knew how the famous Youchenbao was feeling at that time.Even if his father's true love was tragic, and he confided his sincerity to him before he died; but in the middle of this kind of debauchery, the former emperor still never forgets the country and the country, and still does not forget to plot against the three princes whom he specially mentioned. The confidant and love minister above.

Hidden behind the full love is the bitter promise of Waiting Mingyouchen.

Sudden pain in his heart because of Ming Youchen's infatuation and no regrets, but Luan Tiance was immediately overwhelmed by boundless rage and fire.

That person must have known that all of this was a gentle trap of his father, but for the sake of one night's love words and that stingy embrace, he tried his best to support the overall situation of Tiandu for many years, rejected his sincerity, and wantonly humiliated his ability.

Ming Youchen has given up on wealth, power, life and death, the honor and dignity of the whole clan, just for the first emperor's confession and the promise he made to the other party.There is no need to think about it, it is self-evident who is more important in Ming Youchen's heart, the first emperor or him.

Luan Tiance's face turned blue and white, very ugly, his face and eyes looked extremely terrifying, he felt that compared with the resentment, anger, and pain he experienced before, how could it be considered suffering?

"Don't come with me!" Luan Tiance commanded harshly with cold eyes, turned around and ran towards Yehong Palace without any recklessness, with a shocking violent aura, without the graceful and magnanimous attitude of an emperor.

Looking at the direction Luan Tiance was going, Du Chengjing's eyes full of emotion suddenly flashed a deep sense of guilt.He slowly turned around and walked around the rockery, and suddenly found the Empress Dowager Zhaohua sitting in the pavilion behind the rockery. Although the accompanying maids and servants did not speak, their brows were filled with uneasiness and strange expressions. Presumably, they heard him What I just said to the emperor.

The gradual meaning in Du Chengjing's eyes disappeared immediately, and he returned to his old dim-eyed look, trembling forward to kneel down.

"The old slave kowtowed to the queen mother, and it will be a thousand years old."

"You are so old. It's cold on the ground. Kneeling is hard work. Get up quickly and give me a seat." The queen mother said casually, and the people on the left and right stepped forward to help Du Chengjing up, holding the same brocade A stool was placed under the gazebo for him to sit on.

Du Chengjing took his seat and sat down next to the brocade stool.

"Eunuch Du is indeed the person who came here with the late emperor. No wonder the late emperor always said that you are good when he was alive, but now it seems that you are really good." The queen mother said this, and looked at Du Chengjing again and again, making this world-accustomed The old servant actually felt hairy.

Fortunately, the Empress Dowager's eyes quickly turned to the direction of Yehong Palace: "I'm sitting here for a while. I heard Huang Zhi rushing here. It seems that he was very angry, so no one went out to disturb him. Well, just now Based on what you said, the emperor must be even more angry at the moment, and maybe he will do something that should not be done by mistake under the gaffe. Tell me, is this possible?"

Du Chengjing lowered his head and didn't dare to answer, only hearing the empress dowager's gentle voice.

"Hatred and resentment are indeed not as good as jealousy and unwillingness to drive a man completely crazy. What's more, the emperor's temperament is much more enthusiastic and naive than the previous emperor. How can he listen to your words that seem to be justifying the king? Tolerating your own world is obtained by the person in your heart who silently pays and makes concessions for other men?"

"The empress dowager is wise, and this old slave also deeply feels that you don't trust me." When Du Chengjing heard this, he quickly knelt down again, thinking of intentionally deceiving the emperor and instigating the emperor against his will to harm Ming Youchen, he felt uneasy.

"What is your fault? I know what you are thinking. The emperor must have no heirs, and the sky cannot live without a prince. If the emperor just regards that person as a plaything at this moment, or knows the power of it like the previous emperor and endured it repeatedly, No matter what you think in your heart, you must do everything that the emperor should do, and you will not say those words to incite the emperor to get angry and go crazy."

The queen mother shook her head, and on top of her bright and charming beauty, there were some vicious and sarcastic smiles.

"Father and son, you are the sons of two dynasties, but you are fascinated by the same man, and you lose your senses. Hmph, how do we women, wives and mothers, deal with ourselves?"

Cold sweat broke out on Du Chengjing's forehead, as smooth as he didn't know how to deal with the empress dowager's sharp words for a while.

"You don't have to be afraid. I know that you are facing the emperor, so I have no reservations in front of you. Thinking of your previous achievements, not only will I not blame you, but I will reward you heavily."

Probably because she consciously made a slip of the tongue, the previous words did not match her noble status, the Empress Dowager's eyes were covered with a gentle look, and the strange hateful smile at the corner of her mouth disappeared completely.

"You are old, you have no children and you don't like gold and silver things, so I will reward you with the pair of jades bestowed by the late emperor. Eunuch Du will take them with you in the future. You, a loyal old servant, wholeheartedly safeguard the feelings of the current emperor."

"Old slave, thank the Queen Mother for your kindness." Du Chengzheng won a great reward, but he panicked in his heart. He kowtowed a few more times. The imperial doctor came here.

"The humble servant pleases the Queen Mother Wanan."

"Ben Gong read the resignation form you sent to Xiangshou Palace yesterday. Regardless of the reasons you wrote in the notebook, what I am curious about is that you, as the Emperor's servant, why did you resign to Ben Gong first behind his back? Don't you know how to be a courtier?" The Empress Dowager waved her hand to make Imperial Physician Fu stand up and answer.

"This, this... The Empress Dowager, I am old and have no energy to manage the Imperial Hospital. There are many doctors with better medical skills than I are suitable to take over the position of the head of the Imperial Hospital. Before the emperor has no queen, the Queen Mother is my God. The woman with the most respected status, I can't help a woman intervene in politics, let alone a small resignation from a minister. So, so..."

"You still haven't told me the truth? Doctor Fu, in fact, when the first emperor was here, you, as the head of the medical hospital, failed to save him. You should have been punished or dismissed. You are the one who understands King Xin's condition best, so you are specially rewarded for keeping you here." The queen mother said here with a slightly sullen voice.

"The current emperor really values ​​you. Fu Yuyi was deeply favored by the emperors of the two dynasties. He didn't know how to listen to the hadith all the time to repay the emperor's favor, but now he resigns and leaves? Why?"

"Queen Mother, please be kind to the Queen Mother!" Doctor Fu's old face was flushed, and he suddenly fell to his knees, his white hair swaying slightly in the wind, just as his voice was trembling at this moment.

"What are you afraid of?" The queen mother frowned slightly and then asked in a gentle voice, her tone withdrew a little harshness.

Recently, Weichen was ordered by the emperor to take care of the body of Xinwang, but the body of the prince was seriously injured when he was young, and he was too busy with state affairs these years, and it has reached the point where the medicine stone cannot continue his life.The minister exhausted his whole life, but he could only take care of the prince's body so that it looked fine, but in fact, the prince could not survive for half a year. "

"Is what you said true?" The queen mother was startled at first, and almost got up. She immediately realized that she had lost her composure and steadied herself, looking suspiciously at the old imperial doctor who was kneeling upright towards her. It's been looking pretty good lately."

"Lord Xin just took the precious tonic sent by the minister, so his performance seems to be gradually recovering, but no one in this world understands his condition better than the old minister. The old minister is really powerless."

"So you only want to be rewarded by the emperor but are afraid of being punished, so you plan to retire early and return to your hometown?" There was an imperceptible smile on the corner of the Queen Mother's beautiful lips, "Your wishful thinking is very good."

"My minister is terrified. I think that King Xin used to be the prime minister. He made great achievements in assisting the government. Both the former emperor and the emperor valued him very much. If he dies, the old minister will undoubtedly die. Empress Dowager, you pity the poor old minister. It seems that after so many years, The old minister is worth a little bit of hard work, so let the old minister return to his hometown to enjoy his life."

Fu Yuyi said, weeping and kowtowed vigorously, and the faces of the surrounding palace servants showed expressions of intolerance.

"Get up, I allow you to resign. But before you leave, you must inform the successor of King Xin's illness. If King Xin becomes ill in the future and the emperor and this palace call you, you still have to enter the palace quickly." , don’t miss out on saving lives.”

The Queen Mother pondered for a while, and finally spoke.
