The Lofty Fierce Consort

Chapter 168

? Winter goes to spring, another year.

This New Year’s prince had a particularly frustrated family. The prince was kept closed for a month, and the ban was not lifted until the New Year’s Eve was approaching. It’s not over yet. The King Jin’s leg injury is not good for one day, and the prince has to bow his head and behave.

King Qi was recalled to Beijing and had another good show. King Qi was always reckless. He heard that King Jin had his leg broken by the prince. He grabbed the prince who had just been released and refused to let him go. He had to let him give an explanation. What can you say? The prince himself was full of aggrieved aggrieved stomachs, and he would not make things so embarrassing if he was a little clearer, but if the king of Qi was a clearer, he would not do it.

King Qi was finally stopped, and the thing that finally calmed down, because of his actions, caused another wave of waves, and it didn’t gradually fade until the arrival of the new year. But the haze has always existed and never subsided.

Time slowly passed by, and another month passed in a blink of an eye. The Prince’s heart was holding a sigh of breath. It was only because of the temporary shortness of breath that it was difficult to make a sound. Only after this period of time passed, King Jin’s leg injury healed. After that, the liquidation should be liquidated one by one.

The idea is good, but the reality is cruel, and the next thing happened once again hit the prince again.

King Jin’s leg injury healed, but it fell ill, and King Jin was actually lame? !

It’s not very lame, just a bit long and short, and it’s not obvious to stand, and it won’t work when you walk.

This was like a bolt from the blue, not only made Xu Guifei and King Jin feel that the sky was falling, but also made the prince dizzy and unable to react.

Lame?

If before, the prince was wishing that Jin Wang could be as miserable as he was, but now? Don’t be kidding anymore, if you want to say that at this time, who is eager for King Jin to be well, it must belong to the prince and empress Xiao.

I was full of grievances and felt that I had been buckled with a **** bowl on my body. This time it is fine. The **** bowl is completely buckled on my body and can’t be taken off!

Concubine Xu Gui was heartbroken, crying like a dead mother. Emperor Xi didn’t look bad for a few days, and one little thing could make him thunderous. Above the court hall, the harem seemed to be overcast all of a sudden, the court eunuchs and courtiers all curled their necks to behave.

King Jin was hit hard and stayed behind closed doors at King Jin’s Mansion. Although Xu Guifei was heartbroken, she knew that it was useless to be sad at the moment, and sent the entire imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital to the King Jin for treatment.

The result of diagnosis and treatment is very unsatisfactory.

As I said before, the injury of the leg bone depends on luck. If you are lucky, you will recover well. It is not unusual for you to become lame if you are not lucky. Now that people are lame, how can they be treated? Is it possible to break King Jin’s leg bones again and reconnect them?

Don’t say this is unreliable, and no doctor has this ability. In particular, the news came out that King Jin was lame. The imperial doctor who saw King Jin’s leg injury was immediately pulled down and chopped off by Emperor Xi. Who would dare to suffer from King Jin’s leg injury? .

The crown prince was unlucky now, and was angered by Emperor Xi repeatedly, no explanation was of any use.

This incident has made the situation in Beijing more delicate. No one dared to mention King Jin’s return to the fief in this sensitive period. The prince family can only continue to bow their heads and behave.

Of course, apart from the matter, there will inevitably be doubts. Why is King Jin crippled so unluckily? Will there be any tricks in it?

In order to understand the confusion, but also to show an attitude, the prince and his family looked for doctors with superb medical skills to come and see the legs with King Jin. On the other side, Emperor Xi didn’t pull it down, and even issued a holy edict. Who can heal King Jin’s legs, reward him with thousands of dollars, and enter the hospital.

It is a pity that the ‘famous doctor’ who can cure King Jin’s legs has never appeared. However, there have been so-called famous doctors intermittently coming to the door, and the result is not a person who is trying to make a reputation, or he has come to mix the bounty, and one such person will be thrown out in front of the gate of Prince Jin’s mansion.

Of course, all of this is a superficial situation, secretly the king Jin should do nothing less, and the prince family has gradually felt some clues. Among other things, there were a few households who had always been inclined to the prince, and suddenly they changed their attitudes.

Why did he change his attitude? This has to make people think deeply, but there is no evidence that the king Jin and his family have privately made courtiers.

The first line of the prince is now like a fly in his mouth, unable to swallow or spit it out, it can only be as stalemate as a throat.

Time entered July.

The past few months have been a nightmare for the prince. He is not a calm person, and it is not easy to be able to endure it until now.

On the surface, the prince had been in a state of tolerance, but something strange was still revealed behind his back. The prince is getting more and more irritable now, and Jufan will be furious if he feels unhappy. Of course, this kind of face would not show up outside, but almost everyone in the East Palace recently avoided the prince, for fear that this increasingly violent prince would be blamed.

Fengqi Palace

All the palace people retreated, and there were only Empress Xiao and the prince in the hall.

“Mother and queen, the son-chen doesn’t want to bear it anymore. King Jin is so shameless and dare to say that no matter what kind of famous doctor we find, in the end his leg will not be good, he just pretended it!”

“Zhao’er, the queen mother can understand your feelings, but the more you get to the back, the more we have to bear it. Your impatience is of no use. What we are fighting now is patience. You must change your temper. Now the palace is spreading about your cruel character, and you will whip the palace eunuchs at every turn. The day before yesterday, you even beat Taishi Bai…You kid, you really made the queen **** her heart…”

Empress Xiao sat on the phoenix seat, full of exhaustion, her long black hair in the past, now she has a few frosty whites on her sideburns.

The prince was pacing in the hall like a trapped beast, the whip in his hand was tight and loose, and his eyes were bloodshot, like a fierce beast.

“He owes a fight, and teaches loneliness every day, and makes loneliness…tolerance…I bear…”

He muttered nervously, and the whip in his hand lashed against the red carpet on the golden brick floor. In just a few strokes, a good Persian floor mat was taken to a devastated one.

Empress Xiao was so distraught as she watched from the sidelines, she knew that her son was impatient and unstable, and that he had suffered a lot of humiliation in the past six months. His Majesty never said it, but his eyes were getting scarier every day, and the eyes looking at Zhao’er were full of disgust.

No matter how much effort she took, she couldn’t be relieved. By now, Empress Xiao didn’t have the confidence to say that she knew Emperor Xi well. This man who was married to her as a teenager has become extremely terrible now. His temper is always overcast and sunny. I don’t know whether it is related to the body or to knowing that he does not have much time.

Empress Xiao thought, maybe the two are related, but there is nothing she can do. She has no energy to care about Emperor Xi, and her son can’t take care of it, not to mention there is a troublemaker Jin Wang on the side.

“Zhao’er, don’t do this, the queen mother will definitely think of a solution to King Jin.”

“The queen, you think quickly, think quickly, think quickly… Kill him, kill him, kill him… I don’t want to see him anymore, he is still limping and dangling in front of Gu. The father is dangling next to… Gu really wants him to die, let him die…”

The prince’s eyes were stagnant, his mouth kept repeating, suddenly a strange brilliance burst into his eyes.

“Mother, you said that if we kill him, will the lonely be the next emperor of course?”

The prince’s voice was extremely low, and a nervous smile appeared on his face, which looked both gloomy and weird. The sound revolved in the quiet hall, adding a bit of infiltration.

Empress Xiao couldn’t help shivering, and squeezed a voice from her throat, “Who? Who are you talking about?”

“Who do you mean?” The prince suddenly shouted, and then turned to murmur, “Yes, this method is very good, kill him, Gu is the emperor of course…”

Empress Xiao was shocked and rushed forward and hugged the prince, “Zhao’er, wake up, this kind of thinking is rebellious, he is your father…”

The prince’s eyes slowly focused, and his expression turned normal. He patted Empress Xiao’s hand and whispered: “Mother, do you think he treats me as a son? Yes? Knowing that King Jin did it on purpose, he just kept it like this and continued to develop like this. He’s power will get bigger and bigger, and our chances of winning will get smaller and smaller, so it’s better to solve it early. He doesn’t have many days, and it’s okay to advance a little bit, just as the last thing to do for his son…”

“is this OK……”

When she heard this, Empress Xiao’s eyes were blank, her mouth murmured, her hands clenched, clenched and loosened unconsciously.

“Yes, mother queen.”

Seeing Empress Xiao’s attitude shaken, the prince was like grabbing the last straw, “Look at the mother, now the lonely prince is still the prince. He died of loneliness is a natural successor. If he suddenly changes his mind, he will destroy loneliness. , The king of Jin was re-appointed, but it would be too late.”

The last words of the prince slammed into Empress Xiao’s heart. She obviously should sneer, but now she no longer has such self-confidence.

The emperor Xi’s temper is too weird now that people can’t touch the routine. He shows such a high regard for King Jin… If King Jin’s legs are fine, will he abolish Zhaoer… Or is this book belonged to him and the surname Xu? The idea that that **** and that **** came up with together came to play with her and Zhaoer…

Empress Xiao looked at her son’s excited face and flushed eyes.

Zhaoer is too depressing…

Recently, there have been rumors in the palace that the crown prince was cruel. Empress Xiao did not suppress it after several times, and even in recent days, the impeachment of the crown prince has lost his virtue…

The prince’s failure of virtue has always been the thing that Empress Xiao most taboos and fears her the most. The Daxi Dynasty has always established a protagonist. As long as the prince is established, there is no reason to take action. Even the emperor Xi can’t abandon the prince at will. And being unethical is a very good means of attack.

This is why Empress Xiao repeatedly asked the prince to be patient. The prince could not be wrong, and a mistake would be infinitely magnified. If there were people next to him who wanted to fish in troubled waters, those who originally supported the protagonist would be shaken, and would give those who were interested. Take the opportunity.

However, the injury of King Jin repeatedly discredited the prince’s bad reputation. In addition to Zhao’er, the child could not calm down, Empress Xiao could already feel that the voice of the prince’s wickedness was getting louder and louder… now He is now an impeachment officer, and if she continues, Empress Xiao believes that more people will jump out, regardless of whether someone is instigating it…

Can you bear it?

Do you want to continue to bear it?

For some reason, after hearing this from her son, Empress Xiao felt an inexplicable sense of excitement in her heart!

But she has always been cautious and thoughtful. Even if she has the answer in her heart, she still says: “You let the queen think about it. Before the queen has thought about it, you must not act rashly, be honest, and don’t make trouble again…”

The prince looked at Empress Xiao’s face and nodded slowly.

The rumors that the prince had a violent temper and wantonly beat the palace eunuchs, naturally, Xu Guifei and King Jin were involved in it.

I also blame the prince for being too uncomfortable. If you don’t have a handle, you will be fine. If you send it to the door yourself, others should make good use of it.

Now Xu Guifei and King Jin are very proud. Seeing that their victories are getting bigger and bigger, and that stupid prince is still digging his own grave, it is worthy of the calculation of Queen Xiao’s organization, but he has a son who can’t live up to it.

Chen Qi had a bad premonition in his heart when the prince asked the doctor Zhou and his family to leave.

It’s a pity that his goal is too obvious to contact Doctor Zhou, so he can only be anxious in his heart. Fortunately, there is no mystery in the doctor’s place, but he is not afraid of not knowing what the prince was thinking.

Being taken into a dark room again, Doctor Zhou is no longer surprised at this time. He originally thought that Chen Qi and Yang Hui were going to do something again, but he saw the old face of Fang Zheng that was full of tyrannical arrogance. Knowing that things are not that simple.

Sure enough, after listening to what the Lord Yasukuni said, the doctor Zhou was already dumbfounded.

If it weren’t for being watched by Emperor Xi from time to time these days, and he became a habit of acting, he would really show off his feet.

“If the time is too short to react, you can behave in your own way, so that you won’t violate the peace, as long as you don’t say anything that shouldn’t be said…”

What the ordinary-faced man said suddenly lingered in Doctor Zhou’s mind.

He quickly raised his eyebrows, glared at each other, and scolded: “Duke Yasukuni, you are the Duke Yasukuni pro-appointed by your majesty. You know that this kind of thinking is enough to punish your nine races!”

Doctor Zhou’s face was too horrified, and his heart was too shaken to calm down. The skin on his face began to tremble, and he had hazel lips. He couldn’t escape the fingers that were pointing straight away, but stood calmly. It’s just that the hustle and bustle can no longer hide.

“Doctor Zhou, the old man will not tell you falsehoods. Your whole family is in the hands of the old man. Don’t move any other crooked minds. You have to do this if you don’t do it!”

“you–”

“Actually, you can think about it in a different way. Your Royal Highness succeeded to the throne. In the future, your contribution will be the greatest. Prosperity and wealth are no longer a problem.”

“No, no…”

“Doctor Zhou, don’t rush to reject the old man, just think about it. Don’t hurt yourself and your family.”

Doctor Zhou suddenly stared at his eyes, spurted angrily, and fainted in a hurry.

Yasukuni glanced at him with a sigh, and shook his head, “Why be so stubborn? Hasn’t it been betrayed once? Why not betrayed again…”

After a while, he raised his voice: “Come here, send Doctor Zhou back.”

King Jin and others were unaware of all this secretly happening.

As far as they are concerned, they have the advantage at this time, and as long as everything is prepared, they can heal their leg injuries at any time. When the prince loses his morals, he can take advantage of the situation to abolish the prince and become the king.

Now this matter is not in a hurry, it would be better to drive the prince crazy. King Jin was watching the show with great interest at this time.

It’s just that they forgot one thing, you have your plan, and others have their own calculations. Whoever wins depends on who has the ability, not to mention there are many variables in it.

Everything that happened to Doctor Zhou’s side was transmitted back to Jingzhou at an extremely fast speed.

King Jing shut himself in the study, pondered for a whole night, and passed the instructions back to Jingzhong.

After receiving the order, the Grand Doctor Zhou stayed up all night, and went to Zichen Hall to see Emperor Xi the next day.

“what did you say?”

The emperor was angry, floating the corpse thousands of miles away.

The wrath of Emperor Xi this time was the most severe ever seen by the Zhou emperor. But he had to close his eyes and gritted his teeth to continue the play.

“Since that time, the minister has been guilty and restless day after day, and his Majesty’s kindness has always been kept in mind. This time the minister can’t be confused, even if the whole family is mourned, he will never back down.”

“Okay, very good…” Emperor Xi rubbed the small blue and white porcelain vase on the case, his face was difficult to distinguish, but extremely gloomy. “I remember that your whole family had already died unfavorably, and Zheng Haiquan did the funeral. Why was it pinched and threatened again?”

Zheng Haiquan, who listened to the whole process on the sidelines, immediately knelt down and proclaimed, “The old corpse slave went to see it. Although it was burned beyond recognition, it was indeed a man, a woman, an old and a young. The other old slaves don’t know. .”

Doctor Zhou’s complexion was dull, like a mourning test, his tears and nose had long been muffled.

“The veteran doesn’t understand why, but what they showed to the minister this time is indeed the veteran’s family…”

“Huh, Cunning Rabbit Sanku, even my people have been deceived…”

The whisper at the top made Zheng Haiquan and Zhou Taiyi lie down in silence, not daring to say more.

“He gave you this stuff?”

Doctor Zhou raised his head and glanced at the porcelain bottle, then lowered his head, “Yes.”

“But what can I say to you and let you use this thing to harm me?”

“This–”

“Just say anything, I won’t want your head.”

The Grand Doctor Zhou hesitated again and again, but still resolutely said: “The minister once rebuked the Lord Yasukuni for his rebelliousness. The Lord Yasukuni may have said a few words in order to win the minister… He said, He said that your Majesty is now confused and regards King Jin’s changes as nothing. Blindly pressing on the prince step by step, in order not to have extra branches, one day later is not as good as one day earlier… They also said that this idea is not only for them, if the king of Jin sits in the position of the prince, so will he. Even the action will be faster…I also said that the King Jin was extremely shameless and repeatedly cheated the prince in order to seek a position in the court, and even used His Majesty’s mercy as a bargaining chip, otherwise they would not make such a move…”

There was a moment of silence at the top, and it was so quiet that people felt panic.

Suddenly, Xi Di laughed a few times.

“The idea is good, and the explanation can make sense. I am so rebellious, and I still need to find a good-sounding reason…Okay, haha, my good sons…”

There was the sound of footsteps moving towards the inner hall. Doctor Zhou lay down and didn’t dare to look up. It wasn’t until Zheng Haiquan stood up to follow him that his Majesty had left.

No one yelled, and he didn’t dare to get up, so he could only kneel on the cold and hard ground, waiting for his destiny.

Doctor Zhou had been kneeling for a long time, and his brain was in a mess. He didn’t hear the sound of footsteps until he almost couldn’t hold on.

“Doctor Zhou get up quickly, your majesty is asking you to go in.” Zheng Haiquan said softly, and lifted up Doctor Zhou. Seeing that this old man was so old, because his Majesty’s affairs had been tossed to death several times, Zheng Haiquan was also full of sympathy for him.

But it is limited to sympathy, because he is not much better than him!

Doctor Zhou entered the inner hall for a long time before coming out. After coming out, he couldn’t help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

Finally escaped the disaster!

But at the thought of what he was about to face, Zhou Zhou couldn’t help but smile.

Time flicked forward like flowing water, without causing any waves.

Everything is the same as usual, and it seems to be different.

The prince has been very quiet lately, as if his violent performance was like a mirror image in the earlier days, and the king of Jin is still resting in the mansion as before, and only those who are intent know how to do it in private.

On this day, Emperor Xi fainted and the ruling and the opposition shook.

Zheng Haiquan commanded people to carry Emperor Xi back to Zichen Hall with a dragon blade, but after a while, Empress Xiao and the prince arrived.

When Xu Guifei and King Jin came to listen to the wind, the imperial physician had already diagnosed and treated, and Empress Xiao was sitting by the dragon bed, tearful and sad.

“Your Majesty, what’s wrong with you—”

With such a howl, Xu Guifei began to pounce on the side of the dragon bed and cry, her voice softly and poignantly, her face was like a pear blossom with rain.

Empress Xiao glanced at her in disgust, resisting the urge to nauseate, “Why cry? Your Majesty hasn’t done anything!”

“The concubines are also too worried about your majesty’s sake…”

King Jin stood aside with anxiety, “Where is the imperial doctor? Empress, what does the imperial doctor say?”

“Diagnosed by the imperial physician, your father liked to take elixirs in his early years. The erysipelas has not been cleared, and the backlog has been accumulated in the body. This time it broke out and the situation is a bit bad.”

“Why doesn’t the father wake up?”

“The imperial doctor said that fainting is that the dragon body is too weak…”

What else King Jin wanted to say was interrupted by Empress Xiao waved.

“Your Majesty needs to rest at this time. One of you is crying here and the other is asking endlessly. How can your Majesty take a rest?! Leave it all.”

Concubine Xu Gui glanced at King Jin, and the two men turned and left.

Returning to Chunluan Palace, King Jin said: “This king always feels that the father is wrong this time. Does the mother and concubine know any imperial doctors who have come to see him?”

Concubine Xu Gui frowned. “It was the doctor of Zhou’s diagnosis. The queen said that your majesty has always trusted Zhou’s doctor, and Zhou’s doctor has been nursing your father’s dragon body for a long time, so there is no change.”

Jin Wangjun frowned and walked back and forth in the hall for a few steps before he said: “This is not the case. How can the father’s dragon body be diagnosed and treated by an imperial physician? You need to find a trustworthy imperial physician and Zhou imperial physician to diagnose and treat the emperor together.”

“Mother concubine naturally knows, but if there is something tricky, the queen will not easily agree.”

“Let’s try it out first.”

The Emperor Xi never woke up, and Empress Xiao was respectful, serving decoctions every day, and did not dare to sleep peacefully every night, and within a few days people lost weight.

Xu Guifei took the opportunity to serve for two days, but was stopped by the queen. Saying that her husband is seriously ill, what is the difficulty of serving as a regular wife for a few days, even if she serves for a lifetime, she is willing to do so.

It tickles Xu Guifei with hatred.

But she couldn’t say anything. To put it bluntly, Empress Xiao was the mistress of this harem. And she, even as a noble concubine, is nothing more than a noble concubine in ordinary people’s homes.

When Emperor Xi was sober, she was able to fight against the queen with love. When Emperor Xi was not there, she was nothing. She couldn’t resist at all when Emperor Xiao gave the order.

In the past few days, the low-ranking concubines who came to the Zichen Temple to ask for peace, wept bitterly when they came. In fact, the hearts of the women in the entire harem were the same at this time. Whether he was spoiled or not, he didn’t want an accident in Emperor Xi. When your majesty was there, they were the concubines of the emperor, and when your majesty died, they became concubines, and even those concubines who had not been able to give birth did not know how to deal with them.

The Zichen Palace was filled with women’s mournful cries day by day, and Empress Xiao became annoyed within a few days, and ordered them to stay in the palace where they lived, burn incense and pray for her majesty, and leave the door for everything.

There is also Xu Guifei here, but Xu Guifei has always been a disobedient, and there is almost no difference between what the queen said or not. As long as the queen said a few more words, she would kneel and cry for Emperor Xi.

Although Emperor Xi had fallen, Zheng Haiquan by his side was still there, especially now that the Zichen Palace was so eye-catching, Empress Xiao didn’t dare to be too eye-catching, and could only let Xu Guifei disgust herself every day.

Due to the coma of Emperor Xi, the court has been suspended for many days.

It’s not a problem to always stop like this, after all, government affairs can’t be delayed.

Therefore, it is reasonable for the prince to supervise the country.

The prince was led by Emperor Xi to learn to govern the government for many years, and there were two prime ministers on the left and right in coordinating government affairs, and the Da Xi Dynasty was still running in an orderly manner as before.

At this moment, the prince settled down and sat firmly on Mount Tai.

On the contrary, King Jin couldn’t sit still.

He naturally suspected that there was something tricky in the father’s unconsciousness, but Zichen Palace was now controlled by the queen, even if Xu Guifei was not weak in the harem, he would not be able to break up. No one knows what exactly Xi Di’s dragon body is, whether someone moved his hands or feet.

Now that the crown prince supervises the country, Emperor Ruoxi really has a case in this period. Everything the imperial concubine family did before becomes useless. At this time, King Jin and Concubine Xu Gui could not go down naturally. The situation at this time is the same as not long ago, but there is a clear difference. The difference is that now it is anxious to change King Jin.

King Jin must not be passively beaten, and the harem and the former court worked together, and within a few days various rumors came out.

There are rumors that your Majesty’s fainting is strange this time, and the Empress Empress is in charge of the Zichen Temple, and there is only one imperial physician who diagnoses and treats His Majesty. Said that the queen insisted on not allowing other imperial doctors to diagnose and treat…

All the words are about Empress Xiao, but isn’t the empress just talking about the prince? Just pointed to their noses and said wolf ambition!

The source of the rumors is unsearchable, and Empress Xiao has rigorously rectified several times, but has not stopped the wave of rumors. On the contrary, because she killed a few palace eunuchs who had nothing to do with their mouths, the rumors became even more heated and even spread outside the palace.

Empress Xiao knew who did it, but she could only bite her heart secretly, and even pretended nothing happened on her face. Regardless of things like this, she doesn’t care about making trouble more fiercely, but she has a guilty conscience if she manages, and no matter what is said, it is clear that someone has dug a hole and is waiting for her to jump.

What the purpose is, she knew in her heart.

Suddenly, Empress Xiao and the prince stood on the cusp of the storm.

The impeachment of the impeachment of the impeachment of the impeachment of the prince began. These impeachment have a bad face, and they have to be impeached when they find everything. You can’t get angry while suppressing your anger.

The other party’s intention is already very obvious, that is, suspicious of Emperor Xi’s coma.

Of course, the queen and the prince did not have any afterthoughts. When Xu Guifei once again proposed to look for a few more imperial doctors, the queen readily agreed. ?
