Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui did not stay in the bathroom for long and came out very quickly. Before coming out, she took a type of knockout drug from the Gu Master and knocked Emperor Tianwu unconscious without anyone noticing. But in the eyes of outsiders, the old Emperor was just in a deeper sleep.
She quietly put on her clothes and walked out of the room, giving a look to that Senior Eunuch Wu Ying. Wu Ying immediately arranged for a sedan and carried Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui out of the palace courtyard.
The destination of this trip was the place that was specially in charge of grooming people. When Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui arrived, the servants inside were still asleep. She did not disturb anyone and only had Wu Ying find an empty room, then called the Granny in charge over.
That Granny had already heard that the Eighth Prince suddenly took medicine during the palace banquet, but did not expect Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui to come and find her in the middle of the night. For a moment, she had a bad feeling and became alert, kneeling in front of Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui with a straight back, not daring to say anything.
Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui stared at this old lady and asked coldly: "Back then, This One asked you to find a person to teach that Feng family's young master a lesson, who exactly did you find? What did you do to that person's body? "
That old Granny trembled and did not understand what this meant for a moment, so she could only answer truthfully, saying: "She was raised in the palace since young! She has some shallow martial arts foundation and was selected according to Your Highness' instructions. "
"This One is not asking about this." Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui suppressed her anger and asked again: "Did you do anything to that girl's body to please This One? For example, infecting that girl with an illness so that she can be passed on to Feng family's young master? "
When the old Granny heard this, she shook her head repeatedly: "No, no, definitely not, Your Highness did not instruct us to do this back then, This Old Servant did not dare to act on my own. After all, that Feng family's young master is the younger brother of Royal Consort Yu, This Old Servant did it with trepidation, how could I dare to do anything else, Your Highness, please investigate clearly! "
"It was not done by you?" Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui's brows were tightly furrowed. When she arrived, she was still thinking that these old fellows might have specially sent an infected girl over to curry favour with her. As a result, that girl had been sent to the Sheng Palace, and her illness had been passed on to Mo 'er. But now, this old lady said that she didn't do it. What was the reason?
Seeing that Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui did not speak for a long time, the fear in that old granny's heart grew. Until Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui suddenly stood up and walked out without another word, her nerves were already stretched to the brink of collapse.
As expected, the moment Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui stepped out of the door, that Head Eunuch Wu Ying rushed towards her. She wanted to hide, but there was no way she could. Wu Ying's movements were numb, but his strength was also great. In just a few moments, he had used a rope to strangle her neck. This old granny widened her eyes in this unwillingness, breathing out more than she inhaled, and finally died under Wu Ying's rope.
There were many places to deal with this kind of person, for example, an abandoned dry well, or randomly finding a place to dig a deep pit. Regarding this, Wu Ying did it very quickly, and Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui did not need to worry about it.
And Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui did not have the mood to worry about this at this moment. Her mind was filled with worry about Xuantian Mo's illness, and she had even prepared for the worst. Once Xuantian Mo really could not be saved, she had to quickly conceive one of Emperor Tianwu's children, then strengthen her control over the old Emperor, making him leave the position of Crown Prince to only her own child, no matter if it was an adult or the one in her womb.
This night, no one slept well, the people in the imperial palace were like this, and the people in the palace were also like this.
Feng Yu Heng sat up very early, the sky was not even bright yet. Xuan Tianming tugged at her, saying in a daze: "There is no need to attend morning court today, sleep a little more."
"I can't sleep anymore." She sighed softly, lowering her head to play with his fingers, "I did not sleep well last night, it was full of nightmares."
Hearing this, he also sat up, asking softly: "Thinking about those things in the imperial palace again?"
"Un." She said honestly, "Zirui's matter and what happened at the palace banquet reminded me, the Eighth Prince's side does not only want to deal with the two of us, there are many people around us. Last night, it was Xiangrong and Feng Tianyu, who will be next? " She suddenly thought of something, "Say, will he have a sudden impulse one day and appoint you a secondary consort or something? Our Imperial Palace Yu is indeed a little too quiet. "
"Alright!" Xuan Tian Ming shrugged, "As long as it's something that old eighth sends over, it will definitely be someone from his side. That's why, no matter how many are sent over, we will keep them. We will then throw them to Song Kang and have him use them for live experiments."
Feng Yu Heng nodded, "This is a good idea, it just so happens that I have been busy recently and did not have time to take care of my disciple!" A smile finally appeared on her face, regarding the matter of a secondary consort, Xuan Tianming's answer made her very satisfied, she still had an idea in her mind, at this moment, she shared it with Xuan Tianming: "I really want to steal from the national treasury! Steal everything from the national treasury, then watch the Eighth Brother sit on the throne, then watch him stare at the empty national treasury with wide eyes, that scene would definitely be very joyous. What a pity! The national treasury is too big, even if I can steal everything inside, there is no place to put it, my space is too small. "
She mentioned the matter of property, Xuan Tianming also had something to say, he said: "If this matter is not resolved quickly, I fear that the capital will not be safe. You have stored too many good things under the imperial daughter's manor, there is even more wealth in the Imperial Palace Yu, if the Eighth Brother has ideas about this, it is fine if the old man does not help, once he helps, who knows what kind of trouble will occur. "
"What is it, you still want to take my money away?" Feng Yu Heng became anxious, "Fuck, touching my people, touching my money, touching my good food, is it not okay? Xuan Tianming, I need to tell you first, I am keeping them because Father Emperor's Gu poison has not been cured, I do not dare to act rashly, fearing that I will harm Father Emperor. But everyone has a bottom line. Fuck, if he dares to have ideas about my property, don't blame me for shooting him! "
Xuan Tianming did not know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this. How did he marry such a greedy wife? "Don't forget, in your underground treasury, there are many things that were stolen from the Sheng Palace!"
"That is because he did not have the ability to protect his wealth. Since it was stolen, it is naturally mine. Don't even think about taking back the things that are in my hands. Anyway, I'll leave my words here. He can do whatever he wants, but he can't touch my money. Otherwise, I'll really shoot him. "After saying that, she emphasized again —" I'm not joking with you. "
"I know, I know." He quickly smoothed the hair of this angry little lion, "That won't happen. I would rather let him empty the Imperial Palace Yu than let him touch a single hair on your imperial daughter's manor."
"Fuck! Even the Imperial Palace Yu is not allowed! The Imperial Palace Yu is also mine! "A certain person exploded again! "Xuan Tianming, what do you mean by this? You think that the Imperial Palace Yu is yours, right? It has nothing to do with me, right? Xuan Tianming, you've grown quite capable, huh! " A certain person was furious. She flipped over and straddled her husband as she shouted: "You better tell me clearly today. Does this Imperial Palace Yu belong to me or not? We are married, so shouldn't the property be shared? What's yours is mine, isn't it? Is what's mine still mine? Speak! "
After saying "speak," she even angrily grabbed his collar, causing Xuan Tianming to cough.
"Cough, cough! Damn girl, you want to murder your husband! " After saying this, he displayed his masculine strength, flipping over and pressing down on his wife, "This Prince is already yours, moreover, it's just a mere Yu Palace. Consider it as This Prince having made a slip of the tongue earlier, but wife, husband is above you, this rule, you still need to learn and understand!"
Feng Yu Heng wanted to resist, but in this matter, her resistance was destined to be futile. She could only watch helplessly as her husband devoured her clean. Then, all that was left was sobbing.
After being tossed around so early in the morning, she felt refreshed. Xuan Tianming thought of his Eighth Brother's strange behavior at the palace banquet and asked her: "Can the imperial physicians cure the Eighth Brother's illness?"
Feng Yu Heng rolled her eyes and proudly said: "I used a venereal disease medicine. In this world, other than my grandfather and I, no one can cure it. And the two of us definitely will not treat him, so oh, let's just wait and see. The Eighth Brother's living hell is also something to look forward to. "
Xuan Tianming nodded in satisfaction, but still reminded her, "You have to control the development of the illness, you cannot let him die before the Gu poison is cured."
"Don't worry." Feng Yu Heng said, "I've already calculated it. That illness will not kill him immediately, but it can make that part of him rot bit by bit. The process is very satisfying."
On the morning of the second day of the new year, the palace was filled with the festive atmosphere of the new year. Emperor Tianwu had Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui's company this year and was in a good mood. In addition, those three imperial physicians told him last night that the Eighth Prince was actually fine and was just allergic to food. His mood also relaxed.
It was just that this kind of festive atmosphere was not shared by every palace. For example, Jingtsu Temple was still lifeless. The Empress even rejected the servants' suggestion to take a stroll in the garden.
However, today, Jingtsu Temple welcomed an uninvited guest. That guest was none other than an imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital, Sun Qi.
The Empress did not have much contact with the Imperial Hospital. Even when checking the pulse normally, she did not specially designate a particular imperial physician, using whoever was available. After so many years, the Imperial Hospital was used to it. Instead, those concubines and noble ladies in the imperial harem all had their own specialized people, and the Empress was the easiest to serve.
With Sun Qi coming today, the Empress did not think much about it and just said: "It's the second day of the new year, what checking the pulse for? Weren't they only invited after the fifth day of the new year in the past? "
Sun Qi knelt in front of the Empress and said respectfully: "Because His Highness the Eighth Prince suddenly had an emergency last night, it was said that he was allergic to food. Therefore, the Imperial Hospital specially arranged to check the pulse of the imperial concubines early in the morning, just in case. This humble official just happened to be assigned to Your Highness the Empress."
"Oh, it's like that." The Empress nodded and stretched her wrist forward, "Then check the pulse!"
Sun Qi knelt forward two steps and put a square handkerchief on the Empress' wrist. Then, he reached out and gently checked the pulse of her wrist. Not long after, he put down his hand and took two steps back to reply: "Your Highness the Empress is fine, it's just that you've been a bit hot-tempered recently. This humble official will prescribe some herbal tea for Your Highness to drink often."
"Hot-Tempered!" The Empress shrugged and said coldly: "In this imperial palace, who wouldn't have a hot-tempered temper? Drinking tea is useless, you don't need to care about this, and you don't need to get the medicine. This one knows what to do. "
Unexpectedly, Sun Qi raised his head and stared at the Empress, suddenly saying: "The Empress is the mother of the country, you shouldn't be defeated by an imperial concubine!"
The Empress was taken aback, and then she stared at Sun Qi …
