There are still people outside. We can’t make a fire in Wenyuan Pavilion, and Moli feels that the material of the silver needle is not good enough. To solve the problem of the meridians in the body of the second prince, it is not as simple as a few needles.
“Your one hundred taels should be used to save your life!”
The ink carp said without raising his head, “You have to drink the medicine for at least three years. The medicinal material alone is more than a hundred taels. If you can survive by chance, once you get cold or tired, you will need it immediately. Take medicine to keep it.”
The second prince looked stagnant and blurted out: “I have no plans to treat the disease.”
“Why, don’t you want to live anymore?” Meng Qi held his arm and looked up and down the second prince, thinking that this guy is not afraid of taking medicine.
Thinking about the bitter medicine that the doctor had boiled out, Meng Qi’s back ridge felt a little cold.
The second prince said with a black face: “I rebelled and forced the palace. Now the emperor is not dead, but I die, what medicine should I take?”
Meng Qi rubbed his chin with his fingers, and said playfully: “Yes, that’s the truth. It’s a pity that you didn’t pay enough money. I can’t help you assassinate the emperor.”
“Are you talking about laughing?”
The second prince stared at Meng Qi in shock. He had never seen such an insatiable person.
Can’t the throne satisfy this person?
Meng Qi sneered and said: “Looking at me like this? Let’s be more realistic. The throne is impossible. Don’t I think I am too easy, do I have to take the mess over?”
“…Then what do you have?”
Meng Qi smiled and stretched out his hand to signal: “I heard that some of your brothers want to kill the emperor, but you only pay for it, don’t you think it’s unfair?”
The second prince looked at Meng Qi stupidly.
Oh, it turned out to be too little money.
“What do you mean by staring at me and not talking?” Meng Qi continued to tease him.
“This king is thinking, how could the wise ministers of the previous dynasty look like this?”
The second prince looked at the clothes Meng Qi was wearing. The material seemed to be ordinary. I didn’t find it before. The main reason was that Meng Qi was different from ordinary people. He asked solemnly: “Master Meng’s life looks uncomfortable? Is it possible that all the money is spent on his face, so that he can be so effective?”
“Puff.”
Meng Qi turned his head angrily, Mo Li didn’t smile at all on his face, as if he was not the one who made the sound.
However, there are only three people in the pavilion.
“Doctor.” Meng Qi whispered, very upset.
Mo Lei met Meng Qi’s eyes, and I don’t know why he thought of the chubby and complaining milky voice in the secret road.
I can’t bring up the awe and admiration for Golden Dragon in my heart, and I can’t help but admire the thought of the person I like, so I might as well take a gerbil back to Zhushan County…
“Well, it costs money to maintain the black hair and face.” Moli said that he really knows a few prescriptions for beauty, and the herbs are not cheap. Follow daily habits.
In general, practicing martial arts is the most worry-free one.
The second prince was dubious.
Mo Carp is not quick to speak, and he is born with a posture that is trustworthy. The second prince really wants to believe this doctor’s rhetoric, but it is already an evildoer to the point where he is so skilled in his face as Meng Qi!
The most popular remedies in the palace are childbirth and beauty treatments.
Although the second prince has never eaten it, I have seen the mother concubine and the prince concubine eat these things, such as bird’s nest, peach gum, red dates, etc., which are very expensive, but the effect is not very good.
“Don’t talk, there is movement outside.”
Moli raised his hand to indicate that the second prince had to shut his mouth.
The imperial guards came back one after another, leaving only two of them standing outside Wenyuan Pavilion, while the others went into the straight house beside them to take a lazy rest.
They didn’t speak loudly, and they were separated by two floors, but Moli wanted to listen, and could still tell the general meaning.
The Guards were not talking about other people, but the second prince Lu Min.
“Your mother was locked up?” Mo Li said back.
Meng Qi is a little surprised just like Moli.
He thought that the second prince’s biological mother was dead, so he had no scruples about rebelling.
“Have you heard the Janissaries talking? Huh, I heard it a long time ago.” The second prince said muffledly. He clenched his right fist, his eyes full of resentment, “Yesterday I found that the situation was not good, so He hid people in the palace, and there were guards everywhere saying that my mother had been put in a jail.”
Mo Li felt that his tone and expression were a bit wrong, and asked in a timely manner: “What then?”
“…What? Then, I ignored it.” The second prince said viciously.
Meng Qi hugged his arms and yawned, but Mo Li did not speak.
After a while, the second prince couldn’t help himself, and muttered: “Why don’t you scold me?”
Meng Qi said in a strange way: “If you have no relatives and no reason, what do I scold you for?”
The second prince glared his eyes and muttered: “Just… unfaithful and unfilial, regardless of the birth mother.”
Mo Lei really felt that the prince’s brains were a bit inadequate, not clever, and even more reckless. Lu Zhang was suddenly in trouble, and the second prince didn’t have time to take the person away, but it was normal.
But now that the second prince asked, Moli asked casually: “You didn’t prepare beforehand?”
Conspiring to rebel with the forces outside the palace, even if you are not afraid of death, and you have not prepared a way out for others?
The second prince looked ugly, and it took a long time to say that his prince and concubine had betrayed him, and his mother and concubine were even more difficult to say.
“If she knew what I was doing, it would not be the turn of the king’s wife to betray the king.”
“…”
Mo Li thought silently, the palace was completely different from what he thought.
Meng Qi glanced at the doctor and said in a secret message: “The royal family of the Chu Dynasty is not like this, maybe his Lu family is special!”
Although the second prince could not hear what they were talking about, he could guess something from Moli’s expression. He turned his head angrily and lay on the small couch, and refused to speak any more.
Mo Lei simply continued to listen to the comments of the Janissaries.
In the mouth of the Guards, the second prince was unlearned and unskilled, and was punished twice in three days.
Either I was punished by the Hanlin scholars for literacy, or I was punished by the emperor or the concubine, and banned my feet at all times. There were hundreds of volumes of scriptures copied from childhood to large-scale copying. How could such a useless prince have the courage to rebel?
Mo Li estimated that this concubine Jia was the biological mother of the second prince.
The Guards know only a limited amount of things. They always look down on the second prince, and even think about it. If they can know the secret of the discord between the prince and the son, it is estimated that the civil and military officials of the foreign dynasty will also know it.
The ochre red palace wall blocks many secrets. If nothing happens, these secrets will be sealed forever in the silent palace and slowly decay.
Mo Li shook his head in his heart. He saw the second prince lying upright there, and he couldn’t help but think of the sick and crooked prince in the East Palace.
——Whose family has such a mess, it really can’t afford to die.
The two princes have already met, and the sixth princes have also seen them, and it is estimated that the remaining third princes will not be able to handle it.
“There are hundreds of memorials sent from all over the world every day, plus the memorials in the court… One day delay, barely feasible, three days delay, it may be an accident. Taijing martial law, imperial city blockade, Lu Zhang will stay up until this evening at most. He must summon the prime minister and give them some reassurance pills, otherwise the entire capital will be panicked.”
Meng Qi leaned against the wall, playing with the two golden naked boys in his hands, and said casually, “I don’t know where the prime minister and the navy of Wenyuan Pavilion were taken by Lu Zhang. After all, the throne can be replaced. The central center of the imperial court can’t suddenly become few people, let alone die. We are waiting in Wenyuan Pavilion, and sooner or later those important officials of the Qi Dynasty will appear.”
The second prince suddenly got up and asked with bright eyes: “Then you can find him after Jiang and the others, and then you can do it?!”
This “he” of course refers to Lu Zhang.
Meng Qi said with a smile, “We haven’t negotiated the price yet?”
“No, you are looking for the emperor, if you don’t have money, you will go.”
The second prince is not stupid, he can still transfer this logic, he stares suspiciously at the two in front of him.
——If you refuse to assassinate the emperor, then you see what the emperor does, you are not going to rob the emperor, right?
“To tell you the truth, what about me, your father is not pleasing to your eyes. I want to knock off his teeth and add a nice color to his face. Cyan and purple are more beautiful, and no one can recognize it. He, wearing a dragon robe, will be suspected of being rebellious.”
Meng Qi said, the eyes of the second prince lit up, and in the end he could not wait to jump up and applaud.
“For the face of your emperor brother, I will give you a chance.” Meng Qi smiled.
Moli had a vague guess.
Sure enough, the next moment he heard Meng Qi offer a price: “I will take you with you, punch, kick, and charge a hundred taels of silver, how about it?”
The expression of the second prince is struggling, his eyes wandering.
I could see that he wanted to agree, but reason was still there, and he successfully prevented him from nodding.
“With bare hands? Can’t it be replaced with a slash?” The second prince tried to counter-offer.
“You want to pierce the emperor’s heart with this knife!” Meng Qi exposed him mercilessly.
“…So what! I’m going to die, so I’m not allowed to breathe out?”
At this moment, Mo Li interjected: “Who said you are going to die?”
The second prince said with a straight face: “You beat the emperor and left me there. Don’t I have to die?”
When Meng Qi heard the sound, he said in an angry manner: “Then you write an IOU for a hundred taels of silver, and shall we take you out of the palace?”
The second prince hesitated for a while, but even refused: “I have no money to pay, the emperor is not in good health, and no one will help me repay the money if he is gone.”
Mo Li was speechless, Meng Qi raised his eyebrows and asked, “Don’t you still have brothers?”
“They can’t protect themselves. Besides, they look down on me on weekdays and call me reckless and stupid.” The second prince curled his lips and said contemptuously, “The king still thinks they are procrastinating and just say no!”
Meng Qi sighed from the bottom of his heart: “It seems that no matter if it is an assassination or a beating, I am destined to only earn the one hundred taels of silver notes on your body. No more money?”
“Otherwise?”
The second prince thought for a long time, and tentatively said, “The sixth child is not in the capital. The third prince should be guarded by the Imperial Guard. I will draw a map and you can ask him for money? He is not married yet, so his savings are probably better than mine Many.”
Moli: “…”
The princes of the Lu family are not necessarily brothers and friends, and they sold their brothers in a blink of an eye.
***
Imperial Palace, Changle Palace.
This is the northernmost point of the imperial city. A long time ago, it was a palace. As the imperial city was gradually expanded through dynasties, Changle Palace was eventually included in the imperial palace.
Although it belongs to the harem in name, it is a separate palace and it occupies a large area at a distance from other palaces. There are also gardens and lakes in the palace, which are very delicately repaired, and the palace rooms are of high specifications, so ordinary concubines cannot live in them. So Changle Palace became the residence of the queen dowagers and toffees.
Qi Chao currently has no queen mother, and Changle Palace does not have a master. Only in the pavilion west of the palace, some young and beautiful low-level concubines lived. Anyway, after the emperor’s death, the female relatives in the palace will move over and squeeze here, so it’s not a bad rule.
Since yesterday, the gate of the palace has been locked, and the guards are coming and going outside.
The little concubines who stayed in the Changle Palace knew that the emperor was here, but they couldn’t get out or spread the news, so they could only wait tremblingly.
Said it is a concubine, and among these women, the highest rank is only the fifth rank.
Qi Chaohou. The palace is empty, such a grade is the norm.
The women in the palace are not as jealous as they are said in the script, and cheat each other. Of course, these things are all there, but they are not the only ones in their minds. Women in the harem palace are not so much concubines as officials.
They have salaries and grades. They don’t need to sit in the palace all day and just dress up, eat and drink, and wait for the emperor to come. Fortunately. There are also many things in the inner palace. From top to bottom, everyone has their own tasks and responsibilities. There is nothing in their hands. That is because they are disgusted or in poor health.
Of course, there is a lot of knowledge to be an official, promotion and demotion are common.
When the queen palace has no order, the concubines don’t have to worry about things, which means that the servants have the power and the power of these women is undermined.
The Qi Dynasty is very special, the servants are not arrogant in the outer courts, but in the inner court.
The reason is that not only is there no queen in the palace, but there is only one “concubine”. He is still a stubborn temper. He has not raised a good son, and he can’t care about things. All day long, I was just an echo bug. What the emperor said was right, and what the emperor’s trusted chief said was also right. He didn’t even have any ideas of his own.
In this way, the concubine below has nothing to do.
In addition, the emperor was really moody, and there was not even a woman in the palace who was self-reliant and daring to speak. The inner court became more and more like a pool of stagnant water.
Although Lu Zhang has the habit of beating and scolding his concubines, not everyone has been beaten, nor is he going crazy every day.
I can only see the emperor once a year or a half, and I usually don’t know about it.
These little concubines in Changle Palace don’t know. Today’s oldest and highest-ranking Wang Cairen had his forehead smashed and was carried out by the maids. They thought it was Wang Cairen who was offended. The emperor refused to come out even more.
“You haven’t found the second prince?” A cold voice came from the interior.
“Yes…”
“Where is Jia Fei?”
The servant lowered his eyebrows and replied: “According to your majesty’s will, I have been detained in the east side hall of Changle Palace. I have cried since yesterday and no one has come to rescue me.”
“Neizi!”
Lu Zhang slapped the desktop fiercely.
He is tall, with bushy eyebrows, sharp eyes, and he is powerful.
The emperor who has been for many years has an awe-inspiring aura that cannot be offended.
This maid is also awe-inspiring on weekdays. When he came to Lu Zhang, his calves trembled slightly, holding on to maintain a respectful posture, and said in a low voice: “The Guards are still outside grabbing the two maids of the East Palace. They insisted that they had come out to get a doctor, and they had to wait for your majesty to let go.”
“Don’t say anything about Donggong.” Lu Zhang frowned deeply, and then added, “Let the imperial physician order the prince’s diagnosis and treatment.”
The waiter bowed and was about to withdraw, but was stopped by Lu Zhang again.
“Call the two prime ministers and the commander of the Imperial Guard, and then bring the three princes…”
“Your Majesty?”
Lu Zhang said coldly: “Since the prince hasn’t become a prince, I will make the third prince the crown prince. Isn’t it just like the wishes of the courtiers?”
How dare the waiter answer the conversation, bow his head and step back.
As a result, halfway through, I almost collided with another waiter who came in outside.
The former glared at the latter, and then he hurriedly made a gesture and lowered his head.
“What’s wrong?” Lu Zhang also saw the movement at the door.
The servant hurriedly said respectfully: “Return to your Majesty, it is no good for Wang Cairen.”
The so-called no blessings, naturally you can’t live and enjoy blessings.
Lu Zhang didn’t care at all, waved his hand, and made people retreat.
The majestic housekeeper in the palace, after going out, quietly wiped off his sweat, and asked sternly, “I just got a kick, how come people are gone? It’s not a trouble to catch up with this. Right?”
“The imperial doctor said that when Wang Cairen fell, his forehead happened to hit the corner of the table…”
The waiter who followed was trying to talk, and had to be busy fanning the manager.
“Forget it, you go and invite Prime Minister Jiang, Prime Minister Zhang, and Jiang Zhengshi. I will invite His Royal Highness the Three Princes first… Hey, I really looked away. I didn’t expect that this twists and turns might be the Three Princes in the future. Ascend to the throne. Can’t neglect, we’ll please.”
The maid-in-chief took a look at the residence of the third prince.
Unbelievable, people are gone.
Ask no one knows, even the Guards surrounding the residence of the third princes do not know how the people disappeared.
The maid-in-chief was sweating profusely and stomped his feet in a hurry, and almost turned the neighborhood upside down.
In the end, there was nothing I could do. I had to bite the bullet and walk back. As I walked, I felt that my head might be insecure. I ran into the maid sent to invite several important ministers with a bitter face.
“Ms. Xu, where is the third majesty?”
It’s okay not to mention it. When it comes to it, the housekeeper becomes furious.
In the presence of several important court officials, he couldn’t have any seizures, so he could only smile and said without a smile: “Several grandfathers wait a moment, and wait for the old slaves to report to your majesty.”
Speaking of stepping into the main hall first, the other servants vaguely noticed that something was wrong, and invited several important ministers to the side hall to wait, and they also served tea.
Prime Minister Jiang is guilty of old problems and has pain in his waist and legs.
Prime Minister Zhang is worrying about when this disaster will pass. He has not returned home for two days.
The two were absent-minded, but Jiang Zhengshi felt strange, and quietly tugged Jiang’s sleeve.
There is a vague figure in the corner of the side hall.
Jiang Prime Minister followed Jiang Zhengshi’s gaze and instinctively stood up to ask questions. He suddenly felt black before his eyes and immediately lost consciousness.
The people in the side hall, including the maid serving tea, were unconscious.
In the main hall, Lu Zhang heard the voice of his approaching attendant, knowing that the two prime ministers had come with people. He wanted to come and leave Wenyuan Pavilion halfway to collect memorials, which made him wait for a long time.
Lu Zhang doesn’t like the three princes.
But the prince can stand or be abolished.
Compared with the youngest man who has a sloppy temper and offended the Hanlin Bachelor, of course the youngest man is more in line with the wishes of the ministers.
The sixth year old is not too old, I guess I can break it back.
Lu Zhang thought coldly, the sixth child who refused to accept the temper, knew that the cowardly third child became the crown prince, and he still vomited blood with anger? Relying on the bait of the reserve, the sixth child can be irritated to regard the third child as an enemy, and the sixth child will not be thinking about his mother and his concubine and complaining about his father and the emperor like a milk doll all day long.
Lu Zhang didn’t pay attention to the grievances of the Sixth Prince at all.
When he thinks about it, this is because the six princes are young and innocent, and when they have suffered enough, they will understand that power is the most important thing, and power is in the hands of the emperor.
——No matter how unwilling, you have to kneel down and put on a submissive expression to get everything.
Lu Zhang doesn’t care about what happened after he died. No one knows better than him that being an emperor is uncomfortable.
Even if his own son wants to demolish the tomb, he must act like a filial son and grandson in front of the courtiers and the people of the world. Which emperor in the past dynasties dared to show disrespect to the emperor who passed away?
Lu Zhang looked at the door calmly.
He didn’t see his confidant, nor did he see Jiang Jae and others.
I saw the three princes first.
The three princes were dressed in rumpled clothes, their hair was blown like a bird’s nest, and his face was horrified, hunched over, and almost tripped over the threshold.
“What does it look like?” Lu Zhang exclaimed angrily.
The third prince softened his legs and knelt in shock.
Lu Zhang also felt something wrong at this time. The waiter who should have come in disappeared, and no one outside told the third prince to be summoned, and he did not agree. Why did the third prince show up?
Lu Zhang drew out his saber backhand, split the screen to block it in front of him.
At this time, the window was knocked open, and another person was thrown in.
Lu Zhang looked intently, and his expression immediately changed.
The second prince did not faint, nor was he shivering like the third prince. After landing, he turned over and picked up a table as a shield, and rushed towards Luzhang.
Lu Zhang joined the army in the frontier in his early years. He was a military commander. Even though he is old and pampered, he still has some foundation.
The second prince reluctantly blocked the cut sword with a table and kicked it, but Lu Zhang kicked him to the bend of his knee and screamed in pain.
“Niezi! Do you dare to come?” Lu Zhang shouted angrily.
The second prince tugged over the chair and shouted as he ran, “I gave all the money to the king, where is the man? The virtuous ministers who have a history of history can’t fall back on the account!”
