Chapter 104
The queen is dead!

The emperor got the news and went to Weiyang Palace.

A group of imperial physicians helped the pulse and confirmed that the queen had passed away.

The emperor was furious, and ordered Jinyiwei Qianhu to quickly arrest Ji Yunzhu and imprison him in the Ministry of Punishment!
Eunuch Liu went to pass on the emperor's oral order, walked outside the hall and looked at Ji Yunzhu who was hurriedly rushed by his subordinates, and said in surprise: "Master Ji, the emperor has already..." Before he finished speaking, Shi Mu had already pushed Ji Yunzhu past him into the hall.

Everyone saw him with different expressions.

"Take him down!" Emperor Ming flicked his sleeves and said angrily, "Ji Yunzhu, I gave you a chance, but you didn't take it. Murdering the queen is a crime!"

Ji Yunzhu's face was pale, and he was indeed incompetent if he was given the opportunity to treat the Empress Dowager and the Empress!
However, it can obviously last for four or five days.

Why, suddenly died?

The muscles on Ji Yunzhu's face twitched violently, it must be her!
It's her doing it again!

"Your Majesty, allow the grass-roots people to check on the empress." Ji Yunzhu said eagerly.

Emperor Ming said blankly, "Take it away!"

"Your majesty, the empress didn't have a problem because of the grass people's medicinal materials, she is..." Before Ji Yunzhu finished speaking, he was punched in the face by the furious prince, and he fell hard on the back of the chair, and the wheelchair slipped A few meters away.

"Didn't you say that half a month will be fine! What about now? It's not half a month yet, people are gone! People are gone!" Gritting his teeth, the prince forced Ji Yunzhu, grabbed his lapel and lifted him, roaring: "You Go and treat, go and treat, if the queen mother dies, you will die too."

Throwing Ji Yunzhu to the ground, he felt flustered, staring blankly at the queen on the bed with her eyes closed, the prince couldn't accept it.

Step by step approaching the bed, the prince knelt down on the side of the bed, looking at the queen who asked him about the situation in the court yesterday, now lying motionless, exuding a heavy dead air.

"Mother, wake up..." The crown prince's eyes were moist, he could get to where he is now, without the help of the empress.

Once the queen died, he lost his important support in the harem, and he had to wait a few years to marry the princess.

The precarious position of the crown prince is probably even more precarious.

Shi Mu supported Ji Yunzhu to sit on the wheelchair, pushed him to the front of the bed, put his finger on the queen's cold wrist, his pulse stopped beating, but he still felt the active wriggling of the Gu worm in his body.

not dead!

The queen is not dead!

She just entered a state of suspended animation!
If the empress really died, then this Gu worm would also die with the empress!
"Not dead, the queen is not dead—" Ji Yunzhu opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.There was a weird smile on the corner of his mouth, as long as the witch doctor came to Beijing, it would be Xie Qiao's death!
Shi Mu anxiously wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a brocade handkerchief.

Ji Yunzhu pushed his hand away, staring at Emperor Ming with burning eyes: "Not dead, the queen is not dead!"

The imperial physicians all knelt on the ground with a thud, the queen is not dead, they must die!
After all, they were the ones who diagnosed it!

What's more, people have already died completely, with no inhalation or exhalation, how could they not be dead?

crazy!

Ji Yunzhu is crazy!

"Your majesty is clearly aware that the empress has no pulse or breathing..." Before the imperial physician finished speaking, Ji Yunzhu cut it off: "Two days! I only need two days to prove it!"

"emperor--"

The imperial physicians looked at Emperor Ming anxiously, feeling uneasy.

Emperor Ming stared heavily at Ji Yunzhu, turning the thumb puller, but hadn't made a decision yet.

"Father..." The moment the prince heard Ji Yunzhu say that he was not dead, his whole heart became active, and a glint of hope flashed in his eyes!
Emperor Ming pondered for a while, and was about to speak when Aunt Ning walked over with red and swollen eyes.Without squinting, she knelt at Emperor Ming's feet: "This servant came here at the order of the Empress Dowager, and the last wish of the Empress Dowager is to let the emperor kill Ji Yunzhu before she dies!"

Ji Yunzhu's complexion changed suddenly.

The imperial physicians knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, the ministers and others are not skilled in medicine, but this kind of pulse will never go wrong!"

"Shut up!" Ji Yunzhu looked at the embarrassing imperial physician with a gloomy and ugly expression.

"Young Master Ji needs two days, will you run away in these two days?" Imperial Physician Peng said sarcastically.

Liao Shunhe, the envoy of the imperial hospital, said: "Young master Ji hasn't been cured for half a month, can you cure him in two days?"

Ji Yunzhu said firmly: "My subordinates have invited the witch doctor here, and he will surely cure the queen."

witch doctor?

Liao Shunhe said with a sneer: "Young Master Ji is actually playing with witchcraft. This is a taboo in the court!" Then he said respectfully to Emperor Ming: "Your Majesty, the empress's phoenix body is precious, how can she be profaned at will? I hope you can let your mother rest in peace as soon as possible." .”

Emperor Ming frowned when he heard the word 'witch doctor'. There was the last wish of the empress dowager in the front, and Ji Yunzhu's magic-hating technique in the back.Shaking his sleeves, he said, "Prison in Dali Temple, and ask to be executed tomorrow!"

"emperor--"

"Father—"

Emperor Ming turned a deaf ear and strode away.

Jin Yiwei took Ji Yunzhu away.

-

When Xie Qiao heard the news from the palace, the corners of his mouth slowly raised, and he ordered Mingxiu to prepare a jug of wine.

Ming Xiu's wine was ready, and Qin Mo came in dressed in a gold-rimmed black robe.

Qin Mo glanced at the wine on the table, and slightly raised the corner of his mouth: "Thank you?"

Xie Qiao smiled and said: "Ordinary people can't persuade the Queen Mother, and I don't know how you can persuade the Queen Mother."

Qin Mo pursed his lips, he just told the queen mother that Ji Zhong was responsible for her mother's poisoning, and Ji Yunzhu was Ji Zhong's grandson.

The Empress died because of Ji Yunzhu, the Empress Dowager guessed that Qin Mo had specially told her the truth, how could she not have guessed who Ji Zhong was instigated by?But he was afraid that Emperor Ming would protect Ji Yunzhu, so he found her here.Only later, the queen mother deliberately used the "last wish" to force Emperor Ming.

The Empress Dowager looked sad, and Qin Mo knew she had guessed it.

At such an old age, it is unbearable to learn that brothers and sisters of the same mother are killing each other because of the seizure of the prostitute.

Qin Mo poured out a glass of wine, and said slowly, "Thanks are not enough."

"What do you want?" Xie Qiao raised his eyebrows, Qin Mo was not in the right place today, his cold face was covered with haze, his thick eyebrows and sword eyes were full of coldness, and he looked unusually quiet.

Qin Mo held the jug in his hand, still maintaining this posture.Hearing this, he raised his eyelids slightly and looked straight at her.

Xie Qiao looked at him suspiciously: "What happened?"

"The thank you gift I proposed is not enough to show your sincerity." Qin Mo put down the wine pot, and there seemed to be a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Xie Qiao glanced at him sideways, took out a bottle of medicine from his sleeve, and pushed it in front of him: "Your poison has lasted too long, and you were once cured by my master. The poison changed and gave birth to another poison, which is extremely troublesome. For detoxification, I need to know which medicines the master has used for you. This bottle, you can take it when the poison flares up, to relieve the pain." So, this is why she said that she does not treat people who the master has treated!

Qin Mo stared down at Yu Guo's sky-blue porcelain bottle, gathered it into his sleeves, raised his eyebrows and said, "You have made the pill earlier, it doesn't count as a gift to me..."

"Don't push yourself!" Xie Qiao suddenly remembered Ban Xia's words, the smile on his face was slightly suppressed, and he said half-truth, "I will ask the toothmaid to come and pick some beautiful maids for you tomorrow."

Qin Mo was taken aback.

Bai Zhi, who was waiting behind Xie Qiao, tightly squeezed the embroidered handkerchief in her hand, secretly anxious in her heart, what Xie Qiao said was to re-select the dowry maid.

Those flirtatious sluts, who can seduce people's hearts, and have no relationship with Xie Qiao, how could they win the favor of the county king for her?

Biting her lips, she didn't dare to express her opinion in front of Qin Suan.

"I'll train you well, and you'll check the results after you get married." Xie Qiao's smile was slightly cool. She wanted to find an ordinary person and live an ordinary life.However, one phenomenon has been overlooked - concubines and housekeepers.

Now that the wedding date has been set, these issues cannot be tolerated by her.

The smile on Qin Mo's face deepened, and she jokingly said, "How do you teach others like this?" Suddenly, Qin Mo leaned over and leaned into her ear and said, "I hope you will improve a little bit."

Xie Qiao's complexion changed slightly: "Choose and choose, you are so beautiful."

Bai Zhi's heart is like falling into an ice cave, her heart is so cold.

Xie Qiao doesn't intend to flatter those around him!
So, what did she mean when she said 'enough of you guys' that day?

I thought in my heart, I will find an opportunity someday to find out Xie Qiao's tone.

Xie Qiao saw that he couldn't find anything, so he stopped thinking.Thinking of Ji Yunzhu, the smile on his face could not be maintained, and he said uneasy in his heart: "Ji Yunzhu was captured without a fight, and will be detained in Dali Temple, and will be executed tomorrow. But I have a faint feeling in my heart that Ji Yunzhu will not die so easily."

"He can't escape." Qin Mo said coldly, "I will send people to guard Dali Temple."

Xie Qiao's right eyelid kept twitching, and her eyelid twitched non-stop, indicating that nothing good happened.

"If you kill a snake, you will be bitten. I hope there will be no complications." Xie Qiao sighed.

Only at the moment of his death will her heart be completely stable.

Qin Mo ordered Lan Xing to send people to guard the Dali Temple, so that not a single fly would fly out.

Xie Qiao was still worried, so he arranged for hidden guards to guard him.

Even with such precautions, the man in black wearing a cloak and a mask appeared in front of Ji Yunzhu's cell like a ghost.

Ji Yunzhu's wheelchair had been taken away, and he was lying on the stone bed, staring blankly at the small window. A bright star shone coldly in the sky. The ability to struggle and resist.Just like his current situation, even though he has thousands of abilities, he can only wait for death.

There was movement outside the cell, Ji Yunzhu looked sideways, and saw a light flashing in the eyes of the man in black, brighter than the starlight just now.He opened his mouth, but felt that his name was too vague, so he didn't open his mouth.

The man in black laughed and said: "A mere Xie Qiao, but with Qin Mo's protection, you didn't destroy her, instead you fell into such a situation yourself."

"Take me out."

The man in black shook his head: "Ji Yunzhu must die."

Ji Yunzhu's pale complexion was suddenly ferocious, like a ghost, and his whole body seemed to twitch because of these words.

Damn!

Ji Yunzhu... damn it!

He planned and came here, thinking that everything was under his control.

But the result——

Ji Yunzhu laughed in a low voice, with sadness in his voice.

Instead of avenging his father, he risked his own life.

There was a gloomy look in his eyes, he couldn't just die like this!
At this time, Dali Siqing came from the dark, unlocked the prison door, and said respectfully in his tone, "You are good, call me again."

The man in black nodded and walked into the cell.

Dali Siqing retreated.

Seeing that Ji Yunzhu had something to say, the man in black leaned down.

Ji Yunzhu made an explanation, and said in a cold voice: "I've dealt with my affairs after death. My property in Beijing and Ji's mansion have been disposed of. All the money I got will be distributed to my people, and the rest will be filial to you."

"Don't worry." The man in black gave him a deep look, turned around and left with Dali Siqing.

-

The next day.

The jailer gave Ji Yunzhu a meal with a severed head, opened the lock, and threw the meal beside the bed: "Eat it quickly, so we can go on the road." Seeing a black bloodstain on the corner of his mouth, he stepped back in shock and shouted: "Come here!" ! The criminal committed suicide in fear of crime!"

Ji Yunzhu's special status immediately alarmed the minister of Dali Temple, not daring to be sloppy, and asked Liao Shunhe to check and confirm that Ji Yunzhu was dead, and then report it to the emperor.

When Emperor Ming received the news, he was startled, but it was a bit like Ji Zhong's temper.Even if you die, don't die too ugly, just like the lintel of Ji's family.

Therefore, Ji Yunzhu died quietly without waiting for execution.

"It's dealt with." Emperor Ming said indifferently.

"Yes."

Ji Yunzhu has no relatives to claim it, and Shi Mu, who was waiting by his side, was also questioned.The Minister of Dali Temple ordered someone to wrap Ji Yunzhu in a roll of mat and throw it at the mass grave.

-

When Xie Qiao heard the news that Ji Yunzhu committed suicide in fear of crime, his heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

Instructed Lan Yu: "Go and find out what happened to Ji Yunzhu's body!"

"Yes." Sapphire took the order to do it.

"Miss, he is finally dead, we can rest assured." Bai Zhi combed Xie Qiao's hair, and said in a rambling manner: "Ji Yunzhu is also a person who wants face. He beheaded at the vegetable market and lost all face. Don't blame him for committing suicide!"

The corner of Xie Qiao's mouth curled up.

Bai Zhixin was thinking about a matter on Xie Qiao's mind. It was time to choose a dowry for the county king. She changed her mind and said, "Miss, the county king ordered someone to watch, and there will be no mistakes." Seeing Xie Qiao's silence Without saying a word, she carefully opened her mouth to spy: "Miss, you said that you have to be careful when choosing a beautiful maidservant for the county king. People are not ancient, and if you don't pick a loyal person, I'm afraid they will occupy the top of the mountain to fight with you, let alone give you a handmaiden." You are obsessed."

Xie Qiao frowned, she just mentioned it casually, but Bai Zhi remembered it.

"Do you have any good suggestions?" Xie Qiao fiddled with the pearl hairpin that was inserted into the hair at an angle, took a photo from left to right, pulled it out, and picked out a jade hairpin.

Bai Zhi was overjoyed, and made a gesture to kneel down.

"Baizhi." Banxia's eyelids twitched, calling her out.

Bai Zhi's good business was interrupted by Ban Xia, she glanced sideways at her, and responded in front of Xie Qiao: "What's the matter?"

Ban Xia knew that Bai Zhi had blamed her, and knew that she would not be able to persuade Bai Zhi to turn around.The corners of his mouth twitched, but no sound came out after all.Instead, she changed the topic: "It's okay, I just want to ask you to borrow the pattern you drew yesterday, so I can make a pair of embroidered shoes for Miss."

Bai Zhi glared at Banxia, ​​she had been thinking about that pattern for several days before drawing it.It was used to curry favor with Xie Qiao, and now Pinellia borrowed flowers to present Buddha!

"Miss, look at Banxia! That's drawn by a maidservant, who wants to make shoes for you. Banxia is good at avoiding laziness. If she doesn't think about it, she will take credit for it." Bai Zhi was not reconciled, and stomped her feet to act like a spoiled child to Xie Qiao. .

Xie Qiao chuckled: "The pattern you drew, Ban Xia made shoes, both of them have merit." Thinking about something in his heart, he didn't think about other things.

At this time, Lan Yu came back and said: "Miss, throw it to the mass grave. The servant girl ordered someone to go find it and wait for you to check."

Xie Qiao said appreciatively: "Good job." Turning to Ming Xiu, he said: "Prepare the car, I will go out of the house."

"Yes." Ming Xiu immediately went out to prepare.

The carriage went straight to the mass grave, but the people sent by Lan Yu did not find Ji Yunzhu's body.

Xie Qiao looked at the mass graves, weeds were overgrown, and there were many small soil-covered graves, which were very gloomy.

The latest small soil bag has been dug open, and there is no one inside.

Xie Qiao felt awe-inspiring, he really didn't die?
Or, was the body taken away by his subordinates?
"When our people came, they saw traces of wheels and came before us." Sapphire explained the situation one by one: "Like a donkey cart."

This is a car for transporting things.

Xie Qiao's red lips were tightly pursed, no matter whether he died or not, there is no 'Ji Yunzhu' in this world!
-

Back at Duke Fu's mansion, Xie Qiao was surprised to see the prince sitting at the door.

"You are a descendant of Shennong, you follow me into the palace to treat the queen." Up to now, the prince can't care about the grievances between him and Xie Qiao.As long as the queen is not dead, even if he is asked to make an apology to Xie Qiao!Thinking of Ji Yunzhu, he gritted his teeth with hatred: "If Ji Yunzhu, that bastard, didn't stop me, I would have come to find you to treat the empress mother! How could it be..." At the end, the prince choked up.

Xie Qiao knew that the prince would definitely come to his door, and he secretly brought the witch doctor invited by Ji Yunzhu into the capital.She must take out the Gu worms from the queen's body before the witch doctor arrives!
"Prince, don't worry, I'll talk about it after I go into the palace with you to see it." Xie Qiao readily agreed to make the prince stunned, then turned to the door and led Xie Qiao towards the palace.

He didn't give up, so he begged the emperor to wait another day.If Xie Qiao was at a loss, he would take the queen away.

The emperor agreed.

He blocked the door early in the morning, but was in vain.Fortunately, there is still time!

Xie Qiao and the prince went straight to the side hall of Weiyang Palace.

The queen empress has been removed from the main hall.

Xie Qiao Fumai, the Gu worms are still very active in the Queen's body, as long as the Gu worms are taken out, and then given a special pill for the Queen, leaving it for half a day, the heartbeat will revive.

Xie Qiao used it for the first time, and didn't know if it would work.

She has been following up with the Queen Mother, so it won't be a problem.

In order to deal with Ji Yunzhu, the empress is in a more serious situation than the empress dowager. I don't know if she can be 'resurrected'!
"I'll give it a try." Xie Qiao pushed everyone away, leaving Ming Xiu alone.

Xie Qiao injected the needle to protect the Queen's heart and lungs, and fed her a pill. Half a quarter of an hour later, a worm crawled under the Queen's skin towards her wrist.After cutting the queen's finger and sprinkled with the powder, the Gu worm moved faster and fell into the porcelain bottle in Xie Qiao's hand in an instant.

Xie Qiao quickly closed the lid and put it in his arms.

Ming Xiu fed the medicine in his hand to the queen and asked, "Miss, is this alright?"

Xie Qiao held his pulse, but there was still no pulse.He frowned and said: "Not sure, if you don't recover tomorrow, you should prepare for the funeral."

The prince came in, heard this sentence, and said excitedly: "Why are you not sure? You are not a miracle doctor in everyone's mouth? How can you not be cured?"

Xie Qiao avoided the prince's grabbing hand, and said coldly: "I've tried my best! Everything depends on luck!"

"You—" The prince wanted to threaten Xie Qiao, but when he saw Emperor Ming at the door, he stopped abruptly, and stared at Xie Qiao with a distorted expression.

Xie Qiao bowed his knees and saluted.

Emperor Ming asked: "The queen's life is not over yet?"

"Everything can only wait for tomorrow." Xie Qiao was glad that the news of the queen's funeral was not released, and only the well-informed ministers knew about it.Even if the Queen came back to life, no rumors would spread.

Emperor Ming nodded, took a look from afar, turned around and left without going in.

Xie Qiao followed closely out of the palace, opened the curtain and sat in the carriage, and suddenly saw the people inside, his expression changed: "I wonder what is the important matter of His Royal Highness King Yan?"

There was concern on King Yan's face, and he said in a deep voice, "Do you still remember the woman in Hantan Temple?"

Xie Qiao looked at King Yan in bewilderment. She didn't understand the Buddhist scriptures Master Huikong gave her.

"She is dying. You said you would continue her life." King Yan's tone was gloomy, thinking that she could drag on for a while.Because of Ji Yunzhu's affairs these days, he couldn't get away to see the eldest princess.When the time came to an end, when he went to visit, he was already entering less, venting more, and dying!
Xie Qiao was taken aback, and told the coachman to go to Hantan Temple.

As soon as he arrived at the temple, he didn't dare to stop and went to the thatched cottage. Hearing her intermittent coughing, Xie Qiao quickened his pace.

There was a strong smell of medicine in the room. Watching the eldest princess take off the veil covering her mouth and coughing, it was glaringly red and her complexion was very solemn.

She was indeed dying, and she would not make it through the night.

When the eldest princess saw the person coming, she said angrily, "You're here... um..."

Taking advantage of the gap between her words, Xie Qiao stuffed the medicine into her mouth.Her eyes fell on the medicine bottle on the pillow, and she took it over and shook it, she obviously didn't take any of it!

"You want to die so impatiently?" Xie Qiao's tone was a bit cold: "I don't save people who want to die!"

The bottle of medicine she gave the eldest princess could prolong her life, but she didn't take it!
King Yan heard the sound and said coldly: "If you don't save him, you will regret it!"

 My dears, I'm sorry, Yan'er bought new year's goods today, there are not enough words, I'm crying~
