"bite........."

As the first note was played, the melodious sound of the piano echoed throughout the hall.

Those ten fingers kept plucking the strings, and the sound of the piano changed in various ways.

"Snapped!"

Suddenly, a string broke without warning.

One of her jade fingers was cut, and the blood that flowed out drew a plum blossom pattern on the soundboard as the strings vibrated.

The person playing the piano hummed softly and frowned tightly.

But the piano music did not stop.

Like a lark singing in the forest, so gentle and moving.

As time passed, the sound of the piano gradually changed.

It was like a drop of water falling from a great height, hitting the water heavily, instantly penetrating the calm water surface.

The surface of the lake began to ripple all of a sudden.

This drop is the prelude to the coming heavy rain.

Not long after, drops of drizzle began to fall down with a thud.

The surface of the water was tossed up and down by the dense raindrops.

The person playing the piano moved faster and faster.

This guzheng, which has never been played for more than ten years, seems to have reached its limit.

“Pah pah pah pah…”

The strings in the high pitch broke one after another.

The same is true for the middle area.

Until finally, only a few strings in the bass range were left to play.

The sound of the piano became low and dull, like a mountain torrent or a lake bursting its banks...

Chapter 347 The ground is cold

The next day.

The news that Zhu Youxiao was poisoned somehow spread throughout Datong.

Shanxi Provincial Surveillance Commissioner Lou Yitang, Xuanda Governor-General Zhang Xiao, and Shanxi Provincial Governor Liu Zeshen arrived outside the Prince of Dai's Palace before dawn.

But no matter how they knocked on the door, the Jinyiwei refused to let them in.

It was not until the sun was high in the sky that Zhen Beiwang ordered the gate of the mansion to be opened.

"What about Your Majesty?"

"How is your Majesty?"

"Where is your Majesty?"

Lou Yitang, Zhang Xiao and Liu Zeshen looked nervously at Zhen Beiwang who opened the door.

"Your Majesty is in Chengyun Palace, please follow me."

Zhen Beiwang just glanced at them and turned to walk into the mansion.

The three of them followed hurriedly, feeling anxious.

How dare the King of Dai murder the Emperor!

This is something they never dreamed of.

This is Datong, they are here!

If something happens to the emperor, none of the three of them will have an easy life...

When they arrived at Chengyun Hall, after Zhen Beiwang reported, the three of them entered the hall one after another.

Zhu Youxiao was lying on the bed with a sallow complexion, and next to him was a jade bowl with medicine residue in it.

Wei Zhongxian, who in the past could shake the Ming Dynasty with just a shake of his tiger body, was now kneeling beside the bed with tears in the corners of his eyes.

Liu Yue was kneeling on the bed, giving acupuncture to Zhu Youxiao.

Seeing this scene, Lou Yitang and the other two were both surprised and happy.

What was shocking was that the news of the emperor's murder was true.

The good news is that, although the emperor’s condition looks serious, he is at least still alive!

Then, they all knelt down in unison.

"I am late in coming to your rescue, Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

Zhu Youxiao coughed twice and motioned Liu Yue to help him up.

But Liu Yue stopped him: "Your Majesty, don't move rashly. The acupuncture is still going on."

He could only smile at the three of them and said, "My three beloved ministers, please get up quickly. I am fine. I just accidentally fell into the trap of the King of Dai."

"I have been treated. I will be fine after some rest."

Upon hearing this, Liu Zeshen hurriedly crawled forward on his knees, stopped not far from the bed, kowtowed three times, and spoke with a sob.

"I am guilty! As the governor of Shanxi, I come to Datong several times a year and have had contact with the King of Dai."

"But I failed to detect the king's evil ambitions. I deserve to die!"

Upon seeing this, Ancha Shilou Yitang also crawled over on his knees, put his head on the ground, and said with a sad face.

"I am also guilty of negligence!"

The behavior of these two people stunned Xuanda Governor Liu Xiao.

Damn it!

You want to put me on the fire?

But before he could open his mouth, Zhu Youxiao waved to the three people again.

"Get up, the ground is cold!"

"To be honest, this matter is just the Zhu family's family affair and has nothing to do with you."

"I'm fine, you don't have to worry so much."

"The drought is getting worse. If you can handle the disaster properly, it will be a great achievement."

After hearing this, the three people's hearts, which had risen to their throats, finally settled down.

The best news is that I will not be implicated by King Dai!

The three of them kowtowed to the ground again, and assured firmly: "We will definitely live up to your majesty's trust!"

Zhu Youxiao did not keep them long. He simply asked a few questions about the situation in the city and then sent them out.

After the three men walked away, he reached out to take the handkerchief handed to him by Wei Zhongxian and asked casually.

"Where's Guo Yunhou?"

Wei Zhongxian climbed up from the ground and said with a flattering smile, "I asked him to go back and reflect on his actions. He is probably still in the Dacheng Hall now."

The Dacheng Hall is located to the west of the Chengyun Hall, close to the Sheji Altar in the palace.

Zhu Youxiao threw the handkerchief he had used to wipe his face into the basin beside him. Without the cover of makeup, his face regained its former rosy color.

"Call him over!"

"By the way, how is the progress of the search in the palace?"

Wei Zhongxian said: "We have searched 70% of the place, and it will be finished by noon at the latest."

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said nothing more.

Seeing this, Wei Zhongxian consciously left Chengyun Hall.

Looking at Liu Yue who was removing the needle for him, Zhu Youxiao smiled slightly and reached out to hold her arm.

"You've worked hard all night, go back and rest early."

When Liu Yue heard this, her face instantly turned red to her ears. She lowered her head, not daring to look at him, and just nodded softly.

The silver needles were pulled out one by one and put back into the wallet, waiting to be disinfected after returning.

When she got out of bed, Zhu Youxiao called her back.

He reached into his clothes, pulled out a jade pendant and handed it over.

"Put this on you."

Liu Yue quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your reward!"

Zhu Youxiao smiled, stretched out his hands and clapped three times.

The palace door creaked open and Youtong walked in holding an imperial edict.

"Empress Yue, will you accept my order?"

Liu Yue looked at him in surprise, then secretly glanced at Zhu Youxiao on the bed. She immediately understood something and quickly knelt down in front of the bed.

"The emperor is destined to be carried by heaven, and the edict says:"

"Liu Yue, the doctor, is prudent and prudent, diligent and docile, peaceful and pure, kind and gentle, and has a good character. She is a good wife and has great virtues. She is hereby canonized as Yuepin."

"Appreciate this!"

When the Ming Dynasty was first established, the organization of the harem was actually very simple, with only one queen and several concubines.

Although there was a system of palace concubines under the imperial concubines, strictly speaking, it had not been officially used until before the reign of Emperor Jiajing.

Emperor Xuande Zhu Zhanji introduced the title of Imperial Concubine and endowed her with the ceremony of deputy mother, commanding the glory of the nine concubines. The beneficiary at that time was the concubine Sun, who is Sun Ruowei in The Glory of Ming Dynasty.

The younger brother of Emperor Men, Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu, invented the title of Imperial Noble Consort.

During the Chenghua period, Zhu Jianshen gave a definition of Imperial Noble Consort, who was ranked second to none in rank and was the first among all concubines!

The beneficiary at that time was Concubine Wan.

It was not until the tenth year of Jiajing that Zhu Houcong officially put the system of palace concubines into use.

It is said that he said this to the Grand Secretary Zhang Cong:

"My mother asked me to choose thirty girls. I selected and selected, and only nine were suitable. According to ancient etiquette, I was enrolled as the nine concubines. You know the etiquette and rituals of enthronement!"

Zhang Cong knows nothing!

So they put the blame on the Ministry of Rites.

The Minister of Rites was also confused. After returning, he pulled out a lot of hair and finally dug out the Tang system, officially listing the palace concubines as part of the harem.

When Liu Yue heard that she was being framed by Concubine Yue, her tears suddenly welled up in her eyes.

She waited for several years as a concubine, but never had the chance to see the emperor.

But who would have thought that leaving the palace and learning medical skills would give her a chance to succeed.

When one person succeeds, the whole family will benefit. From now on, parents, brothers and sisters in the family will all live a good life!

If she could give birth to a son or daughter for the emperor, her future would be promising!

"slave........"

"I accept your command and thank you. Long live Your Majesty!"

Chapter 348 Your Majesty, may I ask for your permission?

In the afternoon, there was an extra chair at the door of Chengyun Hall.

Zhu Youxiao sat on it and watched the Jinyiwei carry over the valuables they had searched out from the Prince of Dai's Palace in boxes.

Guo Yunhou held the booklet and appraised the prices of each piece of jewelry and jade.

From the end of noon to the middle of the evening, I am busy.
