Donggong Zhangjiao

Chapter 259

Palace gate.

As soon as the carriage came to a complete stop, Pei Yao quickly stepped down from the carriage, followed by Hong Zheng with a nervous expression on his face.

Just two steps away, King Dun caught up from behind.

"Brother Huang."

Pei Yao turned his head and slowed down, "Ze Yi, you have got the news, too."

"Well, the mother and concubine have never presided over the overall situation, brother Huang, let's go in quickly." King Dun said in a deep voice.

Now that Empress Li is imprisoned, the harem is run by his biological mother Chen Guifei.

The two stopped talking, and quickly entered the palace, rushing to Emperor Chengjing's bedroom.

At that time, several high-ranking concubines in the harem were already there. Concubine Chen Gui and Concubine Rui stood together, as well as the fourth princess.

Now the third princess is also imprisoned, so is King Ming, and the fifth prince is still young. The only ones under Emperor Chengjing who can come to attend to the illness at this moment are King Dun and the fourth princess.

It's ridiculous to be serious, but in the end, the two children who are the most indifferent to Emperor Chengjing are the ones who can do their filial piety by their side.

It's better that King Dun is a boy, the fourth princess, I'm afraid Emperor Chengjing can't remember how old she is this year.

This is all a digression. Now that the word filial piety is at the fore, even if you can't be a father, if you are a child, if you care about your own face, you have to do a good job of saving face.

So at this moment, Pei Yao's nephew, King Dun, and his cousins ​​are still at the forefront.

"The imperial doctor said that it was because of the elixir, which has strong medicinal properties and hurt the body. It just so happened that the emperor's mood fluctuated a little today, so he vomited blood." Concubine Chen Guifei explained to the two.

Pei Yao quickly grasped the key point, "Isn't it resting, how can I have such a big mood swing?"

When he asked this question, Ruipin answered beside him.

"The imperial concubine and I have already checked. It is the third princess. She managed to hand over a letter and asked the queen's former maid, the current beauty Qian Shi, to deliver it to the emperor. The emperor vomited blood after seeing it."

While she was talking, Concubine Chen Gui motioned her personal maid to bring the letter over and handed it to Pei Yao.

After receiving the letter and reading it, Pei Yao's expression turned cold.

"Let's take a look, go ahead and have a look at the emperor's uncle alone."

Handing the letter to King Dun, Pei Yao stepped into the inner room of the dormitory.

At that time, Emperor Chengjing was lying on the couch, his eyes were closed tightly, his complexion was sallow, as if he was seriously ill.

But after hearing the movement, he immediately opened his eyes and looked towards the bed.

Seeing that it was Pei Yao, his pupils shrank, and he struggled to sit up immediately.

"Uncle Huang, take care of yourself." Pei Yao looked indifferent.

But he stepped forward to support Emperor Chengjing, and put a big pillow behind him, telling him to lean on.

But just as he was about to withdraw his hand, Emperor Cheng Jing tightly pinched his wrist.

"Let him go!"

Emperor Chengjing's voice was hoarse.

Pei Yao's gaze met his, and he saw that his eyes were flushed, with a hint of pleading.

But Pei Yao was not moved by it, bit by bit he broke off Emperor Chengjing's hand that was tightly grasped on his wrist, and stuffed it back into the quilt.

"The emperor's uncle is ill, and the matters in the court are his own, so the emperor's uncle doesn't have to worry about it."

"It was I who raised you!" Emperor Chengjing's eyes widened, the eyeballs protruding like goldfish, "I'm not dead yet, you should listen to me!"

Pei Yao stood up straight and looked down at him with a frosty face.

"My son has never forgotten the kindness of the emperor's uncle's upbringing. From childhood to adulthood, he has never been disrespectful, but the emperor also don't forget, why are you qualified to raise the orphan? Between uncles, why is this?"

His tone was calm, seemingly understatement, but the pressure around his body, especially the gaze of those eyes, made Emperor Chengjing short of breath for no reason.

It's a guilty conscience, and it's even more frightening.

At this moment, Emperor Chengjing seemed to have seen the first emperor, the elder brother whom he did not dare to look up to when he was a prince, or even when he was crowned king.

This familiar feeling made Emperor Cheng Jing feel chills behind his back.

It made him suddenly and clearly remember how he kowtowed on the ground respectfully before the late emperor's sick bed, and swore a poisonous oath in every possible way in fear that he would protect the country and pass on the throne to Pei Yao again.

His heart froze, and Emperor Chengjing's body softened a bit, and his momentum weakened accordingly.

But avoiding Pei Yao's eyes, after a long silence, he still said something.

"Let Zecheng go, even if he is wrong in every possible way, he is your cousin by blood, and now he can no longer threaten you, just treat me as a pity, don't let me, the white-haired man give black hair people."

"When King Ming was chasing and killing Gu Yu outside the city, why didn't Uncle Huang say these words?"

Pei Yao chuckled and asked back.

"Gu has already told Uncle Huang that his illnesses all come from the elixirs that King Ming ordered. If there hadn't been such a change, and if he had taken Huanyan Pill for a long time, Uncle Huang would only have a lifespan of one or two years. Uncle Huang, your reminder pill, Uncle Huang really loves his son so much? You don’t even care about these things.”

At this time, King Dun also walked in.

He didn't speak, just stood not far away holding the letter paper and watched silently.

Because the letter that the third princess tried to hand out contained words that slandered and framed Pei Yao and King Dun, as well as all old feelings, hoping that Emperor Chengjing would pardon King Ming and Empress Li from death.

After seeing these things, Emperor Chengjing vomited blood impatiently, and wanted to pardon King Ming, so why did Pei Yao and King Dun not feel chilled.

At this moment, Emperor Chengjing was questioned by Pei Yao, leaned back on the pillow a little bit, and his head drooped.

He murmured, "Ze Cheng, he is my eldest son. How could this happen? Although I imprisoned him, I didn't want his life. I thought."

Thinking that there is still room for change, King Ming can escape from danger again with the help of his subordinates.

Unexpectedly, he suddenly fell ill. When he woke up, he was told that King Ming had resisted the decree and left the palace.

Emperor Chengjing has never been at peace these days, and the smuggled letter from the third princess is just a fuse.

And Pei Yao listened to his words, only said indifferently.

"If the emperor's uncle is ruthless enough to kill Gu directly after ascending the throne, the one who sits on the crown prince today will naturally be the King Ming. King Ming, just like King Dun, brothers respect each other and live in harmony."

Having said that, Pei Yao raised his jaw slightly, with a look of sarcasm in his eyes.

"It's a pity that Uncle Huang is indecisive, ambitious but lacks courage, and has a very good face. Didn't you bring all this together?"

Without his acquiescence, how would King Ming and Empress Li dare.

Emperor Chengjing's lips trembled, his hands clenched the quilt tightly, his face was so ugly that he couldn't say a word.

It seemed that Pei Yao poked his heart.

Seeing this, Pei Yao didn't bother to say any more, turned around and gave instructions to the imperial physician and palace servants, took good care of the emperor, and strode away.

King Dun glanced at Emperor Chengjing, but he didn't say anything in the end, and followed Pei Yao out.

According to the imperial physician, vomiting blood today is not too life-threatening, as long as Emperor Chengjing can cooperate and raise him well, it will be fine to finish this year.

So Pei Yao didn't have any worries.

But after he came out, he ordered people to strictly guard the third princess's side.

In the past, he only paid close attention to Empress Li and King Ming, and forgot about the third princess. She didn't expect her to show up on her own, so I can't blame others for being cruel.

This back and forth, two hours passed.

When Pei Yao returned to the East Palace, it was already time for dinner.

I didn't want to disturb Fang Yun at this time, but I felt a little bored, after thinking about it, I decided to go to Biluozhai.
