palace heart

Chapter 71
When Lu met the eunuch who was also running, they knew that Concubine Shu of Jingyang Palace also had the same illness as Empress Dowager Gao.

The place outside the palace was in chaos, and Emperor Ying was belatedly aware of it, and there was no sign of it for a while.

Eunuch Xi brought the supper, Emperor Ying took Ding Meiren to sit down with him, and asked Eunuch Xi intentionally or unintentionally: "Concubine Li Shu, are you feeling better tonight?"

"Going back to the emperor, Concubine Shu may be really hot. One day today, the servant heard that she only drank two bowls of soup. She just had a midnight snack and felt a little uncomfortable, so she went to bed early." Xi Gonggong When they sent someone to inquire, Li Qianlan hadn't taken the medicine yet, so he didn't receive much timely news. Eunuch Xi answered with his head down.

"Have you sent the imperial physician to check..."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Before Emperor Ying finished speaking, there was a sudden noise outside. A little eunuch knelt outside the door without waiting for instructions, and shouted in panic: "Your Majesty, it's not good. The imperial concubines felt unbearable abdominal pain, the imperial doctor rushed over to check and found that both empresses had been poisoned."

"Poisoned? How did you get poisoned? What kind of poison did you get?" It's not that Li Qianlan didn't care, and kept refusing to touch her. Naturally, he wanted to show off her arrogance in front of Shen Mojun. Now that he heard that Li Qianlan was poisoned, Emperor Ying couldn't help being a little panicked, he didn't even remember to ask Empress Dowager Gao about it.

"I heard it was..."

"Assassins, there are assassins..." Before the little eunuch finished speaking, there was another sound of swords clashing outside, and a panicked cry: "Protect the emperor, protect the emperor..."

Chen Jinghua is a bold man, he dares to hang himself out, of course he has the ability to repel the guards in the palace, the more disturbance tonight, the better, so that Shen Hongde's death will be more painful.

But Chen Jinghua knew that the turmoil could not last for too long, because once the imperial army was alarmed, Chen Jinghua would eventually be unable to escape the situation with fewer enemies and more enemies, and it would be difficult for him to escape, so he did not dare to delay. Seeing the needles, the moves of his subordinates were more ruthless than the next, so he rushed into Fangze Hall smoothly and rushed to Emperor Ying's side.

The guards were only a few patrolling guards in the palace, and a large force had to be mobilized temporarily, so now that Chen Jinghua had killed a group, the resistance was much smaller, and he had a chance to go straight to Emperor Ying.

Although Eunuch Xi has no skills, he still has the spirit of protecting the Lord. He spared his life to protect Emperor Ying. Ding Meiren was so frightened that she fell to the ground and lost her beauty. Chen Jinghua spun the sword in his right hand and stood on the ground After a few leaps, he cut Eunuch Xi to the ground, and Emperor Ying stood in front of Chen Jinghua without any cover.

Yingdi actually has a bit of kung fu, but compared with Chen Jinghua, he is nothing compared to Chen Jinghua, and he is vulnerable.

Yingdi looked at Chen Jinghua while accepting the move. It was a masked face, leaving only a small place for eyes. Yingdi couldn't see her eyes at all, but Yingdi recognized Chen Jinghua's sword style. It is Marshal Shen's signature sword technique - the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves. When Chen Jinghua's sword was approaching his chest and he could no longer escape, he pulled Ding Meiren on the ground to block the sword, and shouted: "Marshal Shen, you Do you want to rebel..."

Ding Meiren didn't react, so she frowned and died in pain. Chen Jinghua snickered in his heart. What they wanted was Yingdi's reaction. He pulled out the sword from Ding Meiren's body and threw it at Yingdi again.

The footsteps outside the hall became louder, faster, and closer. Chen Jinghua didn't dare to fight anymore, jumped out of the window, and threw a hidden weapon in the direction of Yingdi with his backhand. Unable to dodge in time, the hidden weapon plunged into Emperor Ying's arm, and the blood immediately soaked the yellow dragon robe.

"Your Majesty..." Eunuch Xi, who was already on the verge of death with several swords in his body, yelled unconsciously.

"Chase……"

"The minister deserves to die for his crimes, the escort came late, please punish the emperor."

Some of the guards of the forbidden army who received the news went to chase Chen Jinghua, while staying with Emperor Ying, Fang Taitong, the leader of the forbidden army, knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty.

The imperial physician who rushed over took out the hidden weapon on Emperor Ying's arm. Emperor Ying looked at it, and the prominent word "Shen" on the hidden weapon offended him. In a fit of anger, he threw the hidden weapon away. Long Yan said angrily: "What a Shen Hongde, You actually used a series of tricks to assassinate me, and I will never let you off lightly this time."

The backyard of the palace was brightly lit, and people were in panic. The imperial guards increased their strength by [-]% to guard the backyard of the palace to protect the safety of Emperor Ying, lest the assassins come back again.

The eunuchs and maids ran back and forth carefully inside, carrying and disposing of the corpses everywhere, and the corpse of Eunuch Xi was also carried to the palace, waiting for the collective burning after the order of Emperor Ying.

After Chen Jinghua escaped from Fangze Palace, he didn't go back directly to Jingyang Palace. Instead, he took advantage of the tall trees and flat roof to get rid of the guards behind him, and successfully escaped from the palace. Shen Mansion left.

He hid the blood-stained night clothes on the big tree fork next to Shen Hongde's study quietly, and then quietly turned back to the palace, sent it into the kitchen of the cold palace, took out the medicine pot that he had prepared earlier, and hurriedly He quickly boiled the antidote for Li Qianlan. While fanning the fire, he didn't forget to smear some pot ashes on his face to show his panic.

In a short time, the urgently decocted medicine was ready. When Chen Jinghua returned to the brightly lit and chaotic Jingyang Hall with the soup in his arms, Qiu Yun was directing the maids and eunuchs to fetch the medicine outside the door, his voice urgent crying.

When she saw Chen Jinghua coming back, she was both happy and angry, grabbed him and blamed him: "Where have you been, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't you know that Concubine Shu was poisoned?"

Chen Jinghua took out the big medicine pot in his arms, wiped the sweat from his head, and the pot ashes on his face was even more black. He said anxiously: "How could I not know? When the imperial doctor said, I Why don't we boil the antidote now, in our hometown, if we are poisoned by this kind of poison, we will decoct it with mung beans, honeysuckle and licorice, and the poison will be cured after taking it!"

"Quick, quick, quick... Take it inside." Qiu Yun forgot all the rules when she heard that the poison could be detoxified, and dragged Chen Jinghua inside. She didn't know that Li Qianlan hadn't finished inducing vomiting at this time, so she vomited it out The filth is still black, and no antidote can be taken.

"The Emperor is here!"

The two had just walked a few steps when the eunuch's report came from outside. Qiu Yun glanced at the antidote in Chen Jinghua's hand, and then at Emperor Ying who came in angrily.

The sky is big and the earth is big, and the emperor's old man is the biggest. Qiu Yun didn't want to make trouble for Li Qianlan any more, so she knelt down with Chen Jinghua and greeted Emperor Ying: "The servant (servant) kowtows to the emperor!"

"What time is it, and these rules are still being said." Emperor Ying was furious, and without waiting for the criminal department to file a case for investigation, he immediately dispatched the imperial guards to arrest Shen Hongde and bring him to justice.Moreover, as soon as Emperor Ying had healed the wound on his arm, he rushed to the Jingyang Hall, and sent back all the concubines including Concubine Wu and other concubines who had come to see him and the ministers who had heard the news. Still busy with these irrelevant etiquettes, he was so angry that he swung his hand violently and went straight into the cabinet, not paying attention to Chen Jinghua who was kneeling beside him.

The candles in the cabinet were as bright as daylight, and a screen was placed in the middle to block people from outside. On both sides of the screen stood a team of court ladies carrying clean water and medicines, and eunuchs with empty trays ready to pick up Li Qianlan's vomit. , in order, but everyone's face is full of panic.

Emperor Ying ordered someone to remove the screen, wanting to see Li Qianlan's situation, but as soon as the screen was removed, he saw Imperial Physician Meng and Imperial Physician Ji surrounded the bed with his back on their backs, blocking Emperor Ying's entire view of Li Qianlan.A medical woman sat on the head of the bed with her legs down, dragging Li Qianlan so that the two imperial physicians could rescue her, and the other three medical women delivered the necessary medicines and equipment to the two imperial physicians.

"Carbon ash..." Emperor Ying couldn't see Li Qianlan, and heard Doctor Meng call again, and immediately a medical woman handed the mixed carbon ashes to Doctor Meng.

Physicians Meng and Ji knew of Emperor Ying's arrival, but saving lives was the most important thing. He poured carbon ashes into Li Qianlan's mouth to induce vomiting, and turned his back to Emperor Ying and said, "Concubine Shu is in danger. The courtiers cannot pick up the driver."

"If she has any gossip, you all go to be buried with her." Duanchang San!Shen Hongde actually gave Li Qianlan such a deadly poison. When Emperor Ying heard the name of the poison reported by the eunuch, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth and felt pain in his intestines.

Heartbroken grass, which grows in the damp places on the edge of mountain forests, will be poisoned and die after people swallow it, so it is also called dead vine.Its leaves are green, but the vines are brownish red. If people accidentally swallow it, they will feel dizzy, severe pain in the pharynx and abdomen as if the liver and intestines are broken, and they will foam at the mouth and dilated pupils. , thirsty and unbearable, if you drink water at this time, it will only aggravate the spread of toxicity.If it cannot be made to vomit, it will eventually die of abdominal pain. According to legend, it is the poison that killed Shennong.

Broken Heart Grass is a poisonous medicine, but if it is used carefully, it can become a good medicine. It can fight toxins and expel toxins, dissipate blood stasis and relieve pain, kill insects and relieve itching. It has significant analgesic and hypnotic effects. It is incomparably effective for serious injuries such as injuries and fractures.But this medicine is forbidden to be taken orally, and the method of detoxification is to induce vomiting and gastric lavage, and then take the antidote. The process is slow and laborious, and the poisoned person suffers extremely.

"vomit……"

Li Qianlan had already lost her mind, and now she was force-fed and vomited violently again. The eunuch had already handed over the copper basin to continue drinking, but the filth spit out by Li Qianlan was still turbid and black.
