Tian's little cook

Chapter 1249 Emergency Summons

Zhang Linghan was held by the guards from left to right, and was dragged forward by them almost without touching the ground, very eagerly.

When he was talking to Zhang Langzhong in the prison just now, several imperial guards suddenly came and said that the emperor had summoned him urgently, and then brought him out.

From the looks of it, things should be urgent.

Zhang Linghan knew that the imperial guards were tight-lipped, so he didn't ask what was going on.

Now that he has committed a serious crime, life and death are unpredictable, no matter what happens, he can only accept it.

He only hoped that Huangfu Chu could let Huangfu Jue off and Lin Zhimo could be forgiven.

He thought he would be taken to the Hall of Mental Cultivation or the court hall, but seeing the Qianqing Palace in front of him now, Zhang Linghan was a little unpredictable for a while.

Why did Huangfu Chu interrogate him in his bedroom?

After entering the palace gate, Zhang Linghan was directly led inside.

He clearly felt that the atmosphere inside was too depressing, which was completely different from the atmosphere when he came to ask Lin Zhimo for pulse in the past.

There were many people standing outside the sleeping hall, Zhang Linghan took a closer look, the Empress Dowager Wu, Concubine Wu Gui, and several important court officials were all there.

Seeing him coming, Empress Dowager Wu walked over with a heavy face and lowered her voice: "Let the emperor accept the facts after entering."

"What fact?" Zhang Linghan was very puzzled, "Please tell the Queen Mother clearly."

At this time, Wu Yaoyan also came over, looking a little haggard, and stood beside the Empress Dowager Wu.

"Zhang Linghan, you have some friendship with the emperor. After you go in, try to persuade the emperor. Although it is difficult for him to accept the empress's departure for a while, the dragon's body is the most important thing. Moreover, the empress has been gone for two days, so she should be buried as soon as possible."

If it wasn't for the guards guarding him, Zhang Linghan would hardly be able to stand up.

Lin Zhimo is dead?
impossible!
Seeing the unbelievable panic on his face, a gleam of joy flashed in Wu Yuyan's eyes very quickly, and the words that came out of her mouth were still full of sadness.

"You don't know yet, the queen suddenly died of illness two days ago."

Zhang Linghan was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a moment.

Empress Dowager Wu sneered disdainfully: "What sudden death? It's just suicide in fear of crime."

"Aunt, don't talk about it." Wu Yaoyan hurriedly dissuaded: "Death is the most important thing."

At this moment, the door of the sleeping hall opened, Xiao Guangxin came out from inside, and asked anxiously, "Is Zhang Linghan here? The emperor wants to see him."

As soon as he finished speaking, he found Zhang Linghan and hurried over: "Doctor Zhang, go in quickly."

"Xiao Guangxin, how is your majesty?" Empress Dowager Wu called to stop him: "Ai's family is his biological mother, can't he go in?"

"Queen Mother, this..." Xiao Guangxin wondered: "This slave dare not make any claims. In the current situation, this slave..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Linghan broke free from the restraints of the guards and took a step forward: "Take me in quickly."

"Okay, okay." Xiao Guangxin nodded hurriedly, taking the opportunity to get rid of Empress Dowager Wu's attack: "The emperor is waiting, go in quickly."

After the two left, the Empress Dowager Wu's expression was not good, and Wu Yuyan comforted her: "Auntie, please be more considerate of my cousin, the situation is special now, let him take it easy."

"It's just a deposed empress who committed a capital crime and committed suicide." Empress Dowager Wu snorted, "I really don't want to live in peace even if I die."

As soon as he stepped into the sleeping hall, Zhang Linghan smelled a strong smell of medicine, making him dizzy.

But it was early winter, and there were dozens of braziers in the hall, and the air was very stuffy.

There were some medicine bowls on the table, and the fragments of the bowls were scattered on the ground, making a mess.

Huangfu Chu sat on the edge of the dragon bed with his back facing him, looking down at the person on the bed.

Beside the dragon bed, there were several imperial physicians kneeling.
