After dressing as a widow

In the past, the guards were tightly guarded, and the waiting people lined up in circles and circles. The bedroom was deserted, and then thinking that Qin Zhong was besieged here by Prince Xuan, even the imperial physician did not announce it...

The inner eunuch serving Qin Zhong asked the eunuchs and maids to quickly clean up the blood and blood from the corpses around the sleeping hall, and when the imperial physician arrived, he hurriedly brought the imperial physician to the dragon bed.

Those who were still in the Tai Hospital at this time were all the unlucky ones who were on duty when Prince Xuan was besieging the palace, and those who were not on duty were all safely hiding at home, not as worried as they were, for fear of being beheaded by Prince Xuan.

A few colleagues from Tai Hospital were taken away by Prince Xuan's men, and there was no news for several days.

The imperial physician who was called looked at Qin Zhong lying on the dragon bed with his mouth crooked in fear, looked, heard and asked.Yu Xidu +.

Qin Ziwen asked: "How is the emperor's dragon body?"

The imperial doctor shook his hand: "Go back to the prince, the emperor is caused by the evil wind entering the body and rushing through the head, and it has been delayed for several days, I am afraid it is..."

He didn't dare to continue. In fact, before he got his pulse, his heart sank when he saw Qin Zhong's crooked face.

Such symptoms are common in the elderly. Once such symptoms appear, they are often accompanied by slurred speech and awkward hands and feet.

If it is an ordinary old man, just let his family take good care of him, maybe he can live a few more years.

But Qin Zhong is the emperor, the Ninth Five-Year Supreme who has monopolized the power for decades, he has become what he is now, if he wakes up, he does not know how many people he will anger, most of his little life is in the hands of Lord Yan .

Qin Ziwen looked at Qin Zhong who was still in a coma, and said in a soft voice: "Anyway, the emperor's dragon body is the most important thing, go and prescribe some decoctions, and take it after the emperor wakes up."

"Yes." The imperial physician didn't expect that King Heng didn't cure himself of the crime of ineffective treatment on the spot, so he kowtowed in gratitude, and quickly wrote out the prescription, and asked someone to grab the medicine.

Qin Ziwen said to the inner eunuch guarding Qin Zhong again: "Chen Daban, you have also been frightened these days, ask the two little yellow gates to guard, go and close your eyes."

"The women in the harem are afraid that they will also be frightened, so they have to work hard to comfort and explain the situation."

"Everything will be discussed after the father wakes up."

It is true that Chen Neijian has not had a good night's sleep these days. Compared with the rebellious Prince Xuan and others, Heng Wang Qin Ziwen is particularly reassuring.

He looked at Qin Ziwen, and Gu Lin who was standing beside Qin Ziwen, he was a bit hesitant, and said: "Thank you, my lord, for your compassion, the servant will go and squint for a few moments, and then go to the harem to check whether the ladies in each palace are safe."

After Chen Neijian finished his ceremony, he often walked out, and when he reached the palace gate, he looked back at Qin Zhong, knowing in his heart that the master he had served for many years might not succeed.

As for who sits on the throne...

As soon as Chen Neijian left, only Qin Ziwen, Wei San and Gu Lin were left in the dormitory. Gu Lin was not interested in Qin Zhong who was lying there, so he walked out of the dormitory door after talking to Qin Ziwen.

"Squeak—" The heavy palace door closed, Qin Ziwen walked to the dragon bed, and sat down with a chair.

"Tch." Qin Ziwen suddenly laughed, and the laughter was even a little uncontrollable.

He pointed at Qin Zhong: "It's useless for you to control people's life and death at will, but in the end you ended up like this ghost, this is your retribution!"

Wei San standing behind him looked at Qin Ziwen like this and didn't stop him.

Thinking that his Wei family supported Qin Zhong's succession at the end of Qin Zhong's life, donating people, money and effort, in the end he couldn't even protect his own relatives, dying and maiming, Wei San hated Qin Zhong no less than Qin Ziwen.

Qin Ziwen didn't stop, and continued: "These years, others thought you loved Prince Chongxuan, Prince Xian and others. In fact, most of them were wrong. You didn't love them. It was just that one fell down and helped the other. The dogs are kept in one place, and a piece of meat is thrown to make them bite the dog."

"Without your connivance, how could the virtuous prince reach out to the salt road in Syria, collude with the officials, privately conscript the people to mine brine, and cause the deaths of every household in Syria."

"Isn't it because of your suggestion, how could the commander of the Beijing Army turn to Prince Xuan so easily? Didn't he just think that you favored Prince Xuan and wanted to win a meritorious service from the dragon?"

"But he didn't know that you wanted to take his head off a long time ago. Even if you don't die today, you will put on the hat of having a close relationship with Prince Xuan in the future and chop off his head with a knife."

"Just like how I dealt with the Wei family in the past and killed my mother and concubine..."

To Qin Zhong, Qin Ziwen didn't have the slightest affection for father and son, he felt very happy now, but regretted why Qin Zhong was not awake, if he was awake, he must tell him word by word what Prince Xuan and others did, so that He looked at how the dog raised by himself bit his master back.

Qin Ziwen shook his head regretfully, and said to Wei San: "The palace servants will bring the medicine later, pour it out."

Wei San nodded: "OK."

The gloom in Qin Ziwen's chest dissipated quite a bit. Over the years, he has plotted everywhere, at the risk of risking himself, in order to decapitate all those who participated in framing the Wei family and forcing his mother and concubine to death.

For this reason, he became a cowardly King Heng, who surrounded Qin Zhong's feet all day long.

Now, seeing that the source of everything has been rewarded, he is happy, extremely happy.

"Ahem..." Qin Ziwen covered his mouth and coughed twice, straightened his clothes, walked out of the palace gate, and asked the sergeant in Lizhou, "Where is Master Gu?"

Lizhou sergeant said: "Master Gu went over there."

Qin Ziwen nodded, and walked in the direction pointed by the sergeant. After a while, he saw Gu Lin talking to some of his subordinates. He took off the hat on his head and tied his hair with jade hairpins. He looked extraordinarily young and handsome. .

Qin Ziwen couldn't help sighing, thinking that he is now in his thirties, fourteen or five years older than this young man, but he doesn't have his achievements, what a hero out of a boy.

He walked over, did not put on airs of a prince, but gave Gu Lin his hands: "Master Gu guarded Lizhou, and then galloped back to Beijing to relieve the danger of Kyoto. This king thanked you on behalf of the people of Kyoto."

Gu Lin cupped his hands in return, and said with a solemn face: "Your Majesty, you don't have to do this. As a minister, an official is a minister, and it is what a minister should do to relieve the emperor's difficulties."

Qin Ziwen looked at his expression, listened to what he said, and suddenly said bluntly: "I feel that my lord doesn't care much about the manners of a monarch and his ministers."

Gu Lin looked back at him, "My lord wants to ask the subordinate if he has any intention of treason."

"Yes," Qin Ziwen stood in front of him, opened the skylight and said bluntly, "Now the imperial army is in Pingzhou and Lizhou, and Pingzhou is fighting Yan Guo in disgrace. Kyoto."

"As for the [-] frontier troops in Lizhou, based on their ability to take care of your lord, they might have subdued them long ago and allowed them to use them."

"My lord Gu is full of martial arts, and it is so easy for you to bring the emperor to make things in the world easier." As for being spurned by the people of the world and opposed by the courtiers, these are nothing to be afraid of in the face of powerful force. Be what you want.

Gu Lin's heartless face remained calm, and he said to Qin Ziwen: "After the marriage between Xiaguan and Fulang last year, the prince should know the origin of Fulang and Xiaguan."

Qin Ziwen nodded: "I heard that he is Mr. Gu's uncle."

"The news of the prince is a little slow. He is the stepfather of the official, and he is the one who engraved his name on the tombstone of the official's father."

"..." Even Qin Ziwen was also shocked by what he said. Uncle and stepfather are two completely different concepts. Dayu people value courtesy, justice, integrity and shame most of all. Gu Lin's actions are different from...

"If there were no Lin Zhen, Gu Lin would be nothing more than a mountain boy, who would not understand poetry, would not learn martial arts, or would be satisfied with three meals a day, or fight viciously in the streets and alleys because of his violent temper. How could Gu Lin be the person he is today."

"All the knowledge of the lower official comes from him. He is happy to be at peace, and the lower official is naturally like this."

Qin Ziwen didn't expect to wait for this answer. Gu Lin's words only had one meaning. He had no idea about bringing the emperor to order the world, because his husband Lang Lin is really a kind person, so he naturally wouldn't provoke troubles and let Dayu caught in the flames of war.

This was beyond Qin Ziwen's expectations, but when Gu Lin gave him the answer when the greatest power in the world was within his grasp, he had no choice but to believe it.

Otherwise, Gu Lin could tie him up like Prince Xuan, so there is no room for him to say these things here.

No matter how much Qin Ziwen believed, the expression on his face was different from when he came.

He said: "This king understands what Master Gu means. I don't know when Master Gu will return to Lizhou. The Che Luo Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom are colluding with each other, and the two sides are attacking. Now the Yan Kingdom has won several times in Pingzhou, and the situation is very bad. , Che Luoguo depends entirely on Master Gu."

Gu Lin said: "Go back to your lord, before coming to the capital, the officials have captured Che Luo Khan and the princes alive, and brought them into the capital with the army."

"..." Qin Ziwen's eyes widened slightly, and he almost couldn't find his voice, "What!"

The country of Che Luo, who had fought against Dayu for many years, was defeated, and even the Khan and the prince were arrested! ?

Qin Ziwen felt a little dazed for a moment, he looked at Gu Lin, and felt a chill in his heart, completely convinced that Gu Lin was really not interested in the throne.

He said in a daze: "Then, let's take good care of it. When the capital is stable, we need to carefully discuss how to deal with it."

"The lower officer knows."

"Master Gu, go and do your own work. This king is going to see the emperor."

Qin Ziwen walked back to Qin Zhong's dormitory with trembling footsteps. Seeing his appearance, Wei San guessed something and asked, "Then Gu Lin is..."

Qin Ziwen stretched out his hand, stopped his cousin's words, and said: "It is true that he has no interest in the throne, nor will he lead the emperor to order the world."

"Do you know what he did?"

"Using the [-] Frontier Army and Lizhou sergeants, they went to King Cheluo's court and captured Cheluo Khan and a group of princes alive."

Wei San's eyes widened, his rough and handsome eyebrows frowned together: "Impossible!"

"Everyone has been escorted to the capital. It's impossible. Gu Linzhi's martial arts is unimaginable. At this moment, he has nearly [-] soldiers. It's only a blink of an eye to overthrow the world, but he has no disrespect for this king." Of course, there is not much respect, Gu Lin has always had that indifferent appearance, extremely ruthless towards everyone.

Wei San was so shocked that he couldn't speak, he really couldn't imagine what Gu Lin did to go straight to the royal court with illness, and capture Che Luo's Khan and prince alive.

If he hadn't met Gu Lin this time, he would have almost forgotten the name Gu Lin.

Suddenly, Qin Ziwen asked him: "Gu Lin's...uncle, what kind of person are you two traveling together on the boat for several days?"

The scene when he met Lin Zhen, Gu Lin and others came to Wei San's mind.

That brother Lin Zhen has an open-minded personality and is a person who can speak well and make people unconsciously let go of their guards.

But what impresses people the most is his rare and beautiful face in the world, pure and bright, beautiful and charming, even he has a strange thought.

On the third day, all the private soldiers kept by the princes in the capital were cleaned up by the Lizhou army. When they smelled anything, the courtiers carefully asked the servants to go out of the house to inquire about the news. The Lizhou army who came to rescue him was defeated, and the prince was temporarily guarded, feeling like a dream.

Hearing that Mr. Gu, who led the Lizhou Army, had a good relationship with Heng Wang Qin Ziwen, he even thought of a saying, the mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole follows.

Heng Wang has always been cowardly and unusable, when did he get involved with Gu Lin?

However, no matter what the courtiers thought, now that the situation had stabilized, they arranged their court uniforms one after another, handed over the booklets to the palace, and begged to see the emperor.

But they didn't know that none of the medicines prescribed by the Tai Hospital these days had reached Qin Zhong's mouth, and Qin Ziwen, the prince who suddenly showed his face, took care of him in a perplexed way, and never acted like a fake.

Qin Ziwen thought that he would not be able to wake up, so he just fell asleep forever. Unexpectedly, Qin Zhong woke up, and when he saw him, he frowned: "Why... is it..."

I can't say the words after that.

Qin Ziwen tucked the quilt up for him very filially: "Royal father said, why is it that the sons and ministers are here, not other brothers and brothers who are here to serve you?"

"They are all outside, and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs is also here, waiting for the father to wake up."

Qin Zhong didn't want to see Qin Ziwen, he, his mother and concubine, and the Wei family were a thorn in Qin Zhong's heart, Qin Zhong didn't believe that Qin Ziwen would wish him well.

He also doesn't believe in Prince Xuan and Prince Xian. Now, the only one he believes in is Gu Lin who came to rescue him from Lizhou.

He leaned on the pillow and looked at the inner eunuch: "Call...Gu...Lin to come in, I have...something..."

The eunuch nodded, understood what he meant, bent down and said to Qin Ziwen: "My lord, you go out and wait for a while, after the emperor finishes talking with Master Gu, you can come in to take care of him."

Qin Ziwen got up, patted his robe and went out.

Half of the ministers of civil and military affairs outside the gate of the palace are missing. Those who are missing are either loyal to the emperor Qin Zhong, or they are from the mutual camp of several princes.

It's just that he didn't expect Qin Ziwen, the invisible prince, to stand here, looking at him with a sense of trance.

Qin Ziwen's eyes swept over them, and walked up to Gu Lin: "Master Gu, the emperor asked you to go in, and I have something to tell you."

"Yes." Gu Lin nodded and walked into the bedroom.

Seeing him coming, Qin Zhong finally felt a little relieved on his face. In his eyes, Gu Lin is a person who is truly loyal to him. He is now in a serious condition. In order to prevent the siege from happening again, let Gu Lin always Staying by his side is the most important thing.

When his condition improves, those rebellious sons must be chopped into pieces!

He looked at Gu Lin with cloudy eyes, his crooked mouth trembling, and said, "Ai... Ai Qing... Hengwang Langziye... Heart..., don't... stay..."

"Find a reason...detain it..."

The inner supervisor watched his nose with his eyes, and stood on the edge of the dragon bed with his eyes watching his nose, like a clay sculpture or wood carving.

Gu Lin looked at Qin Zhong, his eyes were as cold as ever, he didn't like people or things that waste his time, Qin Zhong in front of him was already in this list.

If it wasn't for Qin Zhong's bewilderment and the imperial court like a mass of mud, he should be in Lizhou with Uncle Lin now, instead of sitting here listening to a man who can't even speak clearly and is incontinent up and down.

Gu Lin opened his mouth and said, "Chen Daban, bring the imperial silk and brush and ink."

Chen Daban's body trembled, looking at Mr. Gu, who was holding a heavy soldier in his hand and relieved the danger of the capital, he finally went to get the imperial silk, paper and pen that only the emperor could use when writing holy metaphors, and put them on the table.

Qin Zhong's eyes were about to burst, he looked at Gu Lin who was loyal to him, "You...you...want to..."

Gu Lin frowned, grabbed Qin Ziwen's neatly tucked quilt with one hand, and pressed it against Qin Zhong's face.

The quilt moved weakly, and Qin Zhong, who was already half paralyzed, was covered with his mouth and nose, and stopped moving within two strokes.

Gu Lin let go of his hand, and the ruthless internal supervisor said: "Let the emperor tidy up."

Chen Daban knelt on the ground with a plop, his body shaking like chaff: "Yes..."

He scrambled to the front of the dragon bed, closed Qin Zhong's wide eyes with trembling hands, pulled off the quilt covering his face, and tucked it in carefully.

And Gu Lin went to the table, sat down with his robes lifted, rubbed the ink, picked up the pen engraved with the dragon pattern, and wrote the first character on the imperial silk.

After finishing writing, he reached out and took the jade seal engraved with Nine Dragons, and covered it on the imperial silk.
