The chief steward Dongfang Zhu whispered a few words to the Supreme Emperor. Liu Zhaosun was shocked when he heard this. He quickly put down the memorial he had not finished reading, walked out of the Dazheng Palace, and walked towards the Cining Palace.
The chief steward waved, and two imperial doctors followed behind him. They followed closely behind the Supreme Emperor and left the Dazheng Palace like tails.
"Didn't you ask the palace maid to feed the Queen Mother? Why is this happening?"
"Back to Lord Long Live, the imperial doctor has looked at it and said it's not serious, but it will take some time to nurse him back to health."
Dongfang Zhu panted and followed the Supreme Emperor, explaining anxiously as he walked.
"Your Majesty, do you want some maids from Cining Palace?" Eunuch Dongfang made a gesture on his neck.
Liu Zhaosun suddenly stopped and glanced at Dongfang Zhu's face with a cold expression.
"You want me to repeat what happened to Emperor Jiajing of the former Ming Dynasty. The root cause of this matter is the spread of the influence of my relatives. What's the use of killing a few palace ladies? It will only bring trouble!"
Dongfang Zhulian said he didn't dare.
"Daqi is not at peace. There are police officers in the north and south, and there are undercurrents. Many people are hoping that I will die soon. Dongfang Zhu, don't be like these people."
Dongfang Zhu was so frightened that he quickly fell to his knees and grabbed the ground with his head. His head hit the bluestone with a thud, and his forehead quickly became bloody.
"Get up! If I doubted you, you would have died long ago!"
Liu Zhaosun had no time to take care of the eunuch's feelings and continued to stride toward Cining Palace.
At this time, the palace maids were already standing outside the Cining Palace. From a distance, they saw the Supreme Emperor and others approaching. A group of girls knelt on the ground. Everyone was frightened and did not dare to raise their heads.
"How is the Queen Mother doing now?"
Liu Zhaosun shouted loudly.
"How is the Queen Mother?!"
Several stewards and maids knelt down, crying and wailing, slurring their words. The Supreme Emperor pushed them away, knocked open the palace door, and walked straight towards the Queen Mother's chamber.
The Cisheng Queen Mother Jin Yuji was lying quietly on the bed, and several imperial doctors with white beards and hair stood in front of the curtain.
Liu Zhaosun opened the curtain, and an imperial doctor hurriedly knelt down to salute Emperor Wu Ding.
"Tell me, what's going on? I haven't been to Cining Palace for two days, why is it like this!" The Supreme Emperor said, picking up the imperial doctor and glaring at him angrily.
~~~~~
When Jin Yuji first started a hunger strike, Liu Zhaosun didn't pay much attention to it. The emperor thought it was just the queen mother playing tricks, and threatened him with a hunger strike, asking him to take back his life and spare his uncle Jin Dajiu from death.
Although Liu Zhaosun still didn't know that Jin Dajiu had started a rebellion in Junzhou, he was enough to be executed for the crimes of squeezing the people, deceiving the court, and being extremely corrupt.
Since the explosion in Wang Gong Factory, the character of the time traveler has changed drastically. He is as if possessed by a murderous god. He kills without mercy. As long as the killing is meaningful, he will immediately arrange for this person to go on the road.
This is true for others, and even more so for Jin Dajiu. Liu Zhaosun has been betrayed by others before, and he doesn't want to be betrayed again.
Therefore, he did not pay much attention to Jin Yuji's hunger strike, and even had some contempt for it. It wasn't until yesterday when the imperial doctor said that the Queen Mother was unconscious that the Emperor panicked and ordered the maids of Cining Palace to let the Queen Mother eat.
Now, the Empress Dowager Cisheng is unconscious.
The Supreme Emperor stood in front of the bed, looking at the unconscious woman in front of him, his face uncertain.
Blame and anger surged into Emperor Wuding's heart, and he remained silent for a long time.
"Queen Mother, was she poisoned or in a coma due to hunger?"
One of Wu Youke's disciples stepped forward bravely and replied to the Supreme Emperor.
He first shook his head and said that the Queen Mother's coma had nothing to do with the poison, denying the possibility of assassination.
"The lung qi is not clear and the liver wind is moving internally, resulting in fainting. However, it is not serious. It will be fine after a few days of recovery. Don't worry, Your Majesty."
After Liu Zhaosun heard this, the huge stone hanging in his heart fell to the ground, and various scenes he had experienced with Jin Yuji in the past emerged before his eyes.
He turned his back to everyone and waved gently.
Dongfang Zhu understood this and immediately ordered everyone in a low voice to retreat. The maids kneeling around the curtain were hesitant, neither standing nor kneeling.
The chief steward quickly stepped forward and cursed in a low voice to the frightened palace maids: "The Emperor has pardoned your death penalty, so get out of here!"
Chen Yuanyuan, who had been standing nearby to watch the excitement, saw this situation and knew that she could no longer watch the excitement today. Although she was very reluctant, she had to step back temporarily. Before leaving, the beauty looked at her and walked towards Emperor Wu Ding. A gift.
The Emperor ignored her.
After everyone in Wuyangyang's room had retreated, Dongfang Zhu walked at the end, with a respectful look on his face, and gently closed the palace door.
"all gone."
Liu Zhaosun said to himself.
Above the bedroom, the lights were burning, covering the huge bed. The Cisheng Queen Mother lay quietly on the big bed. The bright whale oil lamp illuminated Jin Yuji's pale face. The Supreme Emperor moved a small mazaar and sat beside the Queen Mother, gently He gently held her hand and sat there for an unknown amount of time, starting to talk to himself.
"Madam, your brother Jin Dajiu, what he did in Junzhou, even if he died ten times, he emptied half of Huguang, did you know? He is also connected with the Hongguang court. Daqi and Ming Dynasty The decisive battle is inevitable, and the alliance is just a cover-up, so your brother must die. Do you know how powerful his gang members are? This time, while you were unconscious, these people started to force me to abdicate and let Liu It’s worthy of being in charge.”
Liu Zhaosun's eyes were red, and he gently stroked Jin Yuji's pale hand, and continued: "If they don't die, we will die, Kaner will die, and Daqi will die. I have been bound to Daqi's chariot and cannot do anything. If you can escape, you can only live and die with it. Yu Ji, don’t blame me for being cruel. I have long been tired of being in this position. If possible, I can take you to Australia, Taiwan, or any uninhabited island. Come on, it’s just the two of us who have spent the rest of our lives fighting and killing each other for more than ten years, and we have never had a few peaceful days. Not only are the people in the world tired, but I am tired as well.”
Emperor Wu Ding's eyes were slightly red, and after talking for a long time, he gradually began to become incoherent. He began to talk to Jin Yuji about the first time he met Jin Dajiu after the bloody battle of Hunhe River. Man Gui was still alive at that time. Ji Zhen rushed to Shenyang for reinforcements.
"Uncle Guo talked about the situation in North Korea, patting his chest and promising me that North Korea will definitely support Kaiyuan in the future. You were still in a coma that night. I remember that I drank three glasses of wine and left the table in a hurry. The same thing happened when I was by your side. speak to you."
"At that time, everyone was working towards the same goal, without any suspicion, and moving forward without hesitation. How wonderful it was."
"By the way, did you know? That Song Yingxing, the Song Yingxing whom I pardoned before, is also involved, but I don't know yet whether he is the mastermind. In short, the wave of people I sent to Junzhou, except Zhu You The school and a few civil servants are clean, but everyone else is involved. It’s really funny to say that the former Ming emperor was the most loyal to Da Qi.”
Liu Zhaosun sat on the pony and kept talking, until the two whale oil lamps on the wall above their heads gradually dimmed, and finally turned into a small black spot, and the surrounding area was completely dimmed.
Jin Yuji opened her eyes gently.
The Supreme Emperor pushed open the palace door, and on the street a wall away, there was the sound of roosters crowing one after another. The sky in the east showed a hint of fish belly white, and it was already dawn.
"Husband, do what you should do. Kill him. He deserves it."
