Chang Anqing

Chapter 264

Silence, death-like silence tightly enveloped the Zichen Palace like an impenetrable net, making it almost impossible to breathe easily.At this moment, the palace people standing under the corridor of the Zichen Palace are guarding as usual, not knowing that there is already blood and tears outside the capital.

Sitting behind the dragon case, Emperor Yuan Cheng was writing a pen and marking official documents with a serious face. Only Chengde, who was serving at the side, could barely detect the trembling of his pen tip, and could see the desperate and nervousness of the young emperor after he was desperate.

At this moment, a slight sound of footsteps made the emperor suddenly raise his head, and when he saw the slender and weak figure in the past, Emperor Yuan Cheng silently withdrew his gaze, but there was an inexplicable sense of relief and tension in his eyes. stretch.

"Saint, it's time to take the medicine."

After hearing Chengde's words, Jiang Lihua, who was dressed as a female official, had already offered the soup medicine. Looking at the medicine bowl that was still steaming, Emperor Yuan Cheng took it silently and was about to hand it to his mouth.

Suddenly sick and bedridden, he had to be replaced by Yang Chongyuan to inspect the armed forces. Although it is fake, but his old illness is real, and he can feel that the chronic illness in his body has been attacking more and more frequently and getting worse ——

"Your Majesty, don't drink!"

Just when the medicinal soup reached the edge of the bowl and was about to sink into his lips, an abrupt and urgent voice sounded in the study.

Almost instinctively, Emperor Yuan Cheng's eyes froze, and he immediately stopped the medicine bowl, followed the sound, and saw Shangguan Yun, a concubine in palace attire, coming from outside.

Seeing that he didn't drink it, Concubine De couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, her cheeks were flushed abnormally due to her hasty running, and she was still drenched in thin sweat.

"Concubine De?"

Facing the serious and vigilant eyes of the previous emperor, Shangguan Yun glanced at the medicine bowl in his hand, then walked in step by step and said, "This medicine is poisonous."

As soon as the words fell, Emperor Yuan Cheng's face changed drastically. Chengde, who had served the emperor for a long time and had experienced great storms, lost his soul and eight souls in panic at this moment, knelt down on the ground, and tremblingly straightened his back for the joy of the rest of his life. Breakouts of cold sweat.

"Your Majesty, the servant did not, the servant never poisoned the medicine—"

When looking at Emperor Cheng of the Yuan Dynasty, his heart was ashamed, and Jiang Lihua, who didn't care about the world, suddenly knelt down and explained to him.

"Your Majesty, it's not Jiang Shizhao."

While speaking, Jiang Lihua already tilted her head and motioned for Luzhu to go out, and brought in a servant who was shaking like chaff.

"Your Majesty, this slave deserves to die, this slave deserves to die, I beg Your Majesty to spare this slave—"

Facing the nonsense servants, Emperor Yuan Cheng already had some confidence in his heart, and the next moment Shangguan Yun took out the few words that A Niang secretly gave her that day from his sleeve, and handed them to Emperor Yuan Cheng.

"This person's identity is all on this."

As soon as the words fell, Chengde didn't dare to be sloppy, and immediately stepped forward to take it and handed it to Emperor Yuan Cheng. After Yuan Chengdi read every word, his anger rose little by little like a flame, and went straight to his heart.

Shangguanji!
It turned out to be him!

"As your Majesty has seen, this person is Shangguan Ji's eyeliner. Long before today's incident, Shangguan Ji had used His Majesty's name to win over the courtier Habayashi Wei, intending to poison His Majesty after killing Yang and Li. From this, it is logical that in the name of Kuangfu Sheji, another young King Zhao will take the throne and become the next Yang Chongyuan."

Hearing these words came from Shangguan Yun's mouth, Chengde and Jiang Lihua looked over in astonishment, and at this moment Emperor Yuan Cheng had already grasped the small piece of paper in his hands, and there was an unstoppable storm in his eyes .

"Then Concubine De wants to kill relatives righteously."

Hearing Yuan Chengdi's sullen words that seemed to ask questions but not questions, Jiang Lihua raised his head and looked at him, without any fear or dodge, he said: "Yes, and no."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Lihua looked sideways at the kneeling servant and said, "Say."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the servant was originally forced by the Minister's order, but after the Taiwei learned about this, not only did he not expose the identity of the servant, but instead threatened the servant with this, let the servant, let the servant—"

"What do you want to do!"

Hearing that there were more and more accidents, and that he was getting more and more out of his control, Emperor Yuan Cheng was already furious, and he stood up suddenly, holding his hands on the dragon case, and with the majesty of the ninety-five lord, he frightened the life-like A worthless servant.

"The Taiwei said that when the rebellion of the Shangshuling is over, he will send a letter to the servants, and let the servants use the identity of the Shangshuling's eyeliner to poison you, poison your majesty—"

After all, the servant was trembling and couldn't help himself, and almost collapsed there as limp as mud.

At this moment, not to mention Chengde and Jiang Lihua, even Emperor Yuan Cheng, the emperor, was also bound by this link. The mantis made up for the cicada, and Huang Que was stunned at the chess game behind him.

how ridiculous

He thought that if he risked his whole life and risked his life, he might be able to save his descendants of Chen's descendants from the fire and water with this last blow against the wind.

It turned out that he had lost from beginning to end——

Suddenly, Emperor Yuan Cheng laughed lightly.

Seven points of irony, three points of self-deprecating——

Gradually, the laughter became louder and more wanton.

He never expected that at the same time that he and his elder sister were going to kill Shangguan Ji after killing Yang Bandit today, Shangguan Ji would dare to extend his knife to him, the emperor.

However, in the end, they were both used by Yang Chongyuan——

"Habayashi Wei, lost?"

Hearing this illusory question overflowing from Emperor Yuan Cheng's throat with difficulty, Shangguan Yun who was standing below nodded with no expression.

With a sneer, Emperor Yuan Cheng shook his head, for a moment he didn't know how to face this mess.

"Why, why even God helped him—"

Therefore, if he died today, Yang Chongyuan could put the crime of killing the king on the traitor Shangguanji, turn himself into a rebellious minister, punish the loyal minister who was treacherous, and then easily establish a new king, and he will never fall down.

Okay, okay, as expected of the Taiwei Yang who has gone through four dynasties, even him, sister, and Shangguanji, they can't plan him at all——

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty—"

Sensing that Emperor Yuan Cheng's body was shaking slightly, Chengde, who was choked up with sobs and red eyes, rushed to help him, but when Emperor Yuan Cheng instinctively brushed him away, he felt his throat was sweet and couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Imperial Physician, quickly call the Imperial Physician!"

Hearing Chengde's anxious voice, Emperor Yuan Cheng fell back to his seat with difficulty, but grabbed Chengde's hand, and said in a low and unquestionable voice: "Back off!"

"His Majesty--"

Chengde, who was still in grief and hesitation at first, finally swallowed the choking in his throat when he stared at Shangyuan Chengdi's order, and retreated with Jiang Lihua and the servant.

Under the stillness of the two compartments, Emperor Yuan Cheng glanced over the redness on the dragon table without moving his eyes, looked at Concubine De standing below and said: "If you want to pay for this with merit, I'm afraid you came to the wrong place , found the wrong person—”

After all, Emperor Yuan Cheng smiled lightly, and teased himself with her: "You should know that today's emperor can't even cross himself, so how can he cross others."

Looking at the supposedly ambitious emperor in front of him, turned into what he is now, even if he is as cold and hard as Shangguan Yun, he also felt the helplessness and despair that he could empathize with.

"I am so free in my life. If there is no freedom, what is the point of living in this world?"

Having said that, Shangguan Yun bowed down to Emperor Yuan Cheng, knelt down and said, "What I did today was not to let treacherous ministers like Yang Chongyuan succeed in their schemes. I should have been responsible for the crimes that I, Shangguan, should have borne. Shangguan Even if your reputation is ruined, you should bear the responsibility if your head falls to the ground, but I will never allow Shangguan to make a wedding dress for your enemy—"

After a short silence, when Shangguan Yun raised his head again after prostrating, Emperor Yuan Cheng saw her face melt away from the frost for the first time, showing a sincere plea.

"But there is one thing. My aunt is different from Shangguanji and the Shangguan family. She has done good deeds all her life, and she has never had the slightest intention of harming others. For this reason, she was imprisoned in the mansion by Shangguanji. I beg Your Majesty today, please Your Majesty bestowed her with the document on the Eastward Transit—”

After finishing speaking, Shangguan Yun lowered himself into the dust, leaned down slowly, and expressed his last request.

However, when Emperor Yuan Cheng silently watched this scene, there was already noise and panic outside the palace, followed by the sound of armor colliding, the sound of swords clashing, the sound of flesh and blood rumbling, rumbling and filling him. eardrum.

"Yang Che, Duke of Yanmen County, it's too late to save you, please forgive me!"

In a short while, Emperor Yuan Cheng, who was sitting in the hall, heard this haughty, arrogant young voice, and forced him to the front of the hall majestically.

As if, carrying thousands of troops.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty—"

What followed was Chengde who stumbled in in panic, knelt on the ground with a "boom" and said, "Your Majesty, Duke Yanmen led troops to slaughter the defenders of Zichen Palace and rushed in."
