Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 144 Zhaoxuan Prosperity ([-])

"The junior came to pay respects to the general."

Zhu Shang was waiting outside the General's Mansion.

He is Ye Ting Hu Wei, a small official of two hundred shi, and has been Ye Ting Hu Wei for many years, but has not been promoted.

He was getting old now, thinking that it would be too late if he didn't get promoted, so he had the cheek to pay homage to Huo Guang, the most powerful general today, and wanted to hug Huo Guang's thigh.

But how could Huo Guang see him as a small official of two hundred shi, so a small official from the General's Mansion stopped him directly and said to him: "The General is not here, please go back."

"Eh..." Zhu Shang was a little helpless, he had seen the general return to the mansion with his own eyes, so he came to pay his respects at this time, and the answer from the little official was clearly that the general was not interested in talking to him.

When he got home, he saw his wife Chun Yuyan was collecting medicinal materials, so Zhu Shang asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

"The queen has been pregnant for more than nine months, and now it is at the most critical moment. I will bring some medicinal materials in to take care of the queen." His wife Chunyuyan answered truthfully.

Chun Yuyan is a female doctor in the palace, who used to be under the control of Wang Ling, the chief medicine officer of the palace.

But her boss, Wang Ling, has been promoted to Shangshu in the palace, but she is still just a female doctor in the palace.

"What are you doing dejectedly? Have you seen the general?" Seeing her husband's decadent appearance, Chunyu Yan couldn't help asking.

"The general doesn't have time to talk to me, a small person." Zhu Shang shook his head, as if resigned to his fate.

"I'm going to the palace." Chun Yuyan said.

"Go early and come back early." Zhu Shang stared out the window in a daze.

……

Huojia
"Who are the female doctors who treat the queen?" Mrs. Huo Xian asked the servant.

"There are four, namely Li Yue, Wei Yao, Dongfang Lan, and Chun Yuyan." The servant replied.

"Have you found out the situation of these four people?" Mrs. Huo Xian asked again.

"It's clear." The servant replied, and then reported the information of the four female doctors.

In the servant's report, every female doctor has something that can be used, but relatively speaking, Chun Yuyan is the best to use, because Chun Yuyan's husband just went to the General's Mansion this morning, which shows that he has something to do with the Huo family. what you want.

This is a point worth taking advantage of.

So Mrs. Huo Xian ordered the servant: "Find a chance and make an appointment with Chunyu Yan."

"No." The servant said respectfully.

……

Four days later

Chunyuyan collected some medicinal materials again and prepared to enter the palace to take care of the queen.

Several of their female doctors worked in two shifts, taking turns to look after the queen Xu Pingjun.

But as soon as she went out, she found the servants of the Huo family blocking the door.

"Female doctor Chunyuyan, can you take a step to speak?" Huo's servant said.

"???" Chun Yuyan was a little puzzled, but he still followed the servants of the Huo family to a hidden place.

I saw Mrs. Huo's family had been waiting for a long time.

"Chun Yuyan has met Madam." Chun Yuyan knew that the other party was Madam Huo's family, with a distinguished status, so he hurriedly saluted.

"Your husband's name is Zhu Shang?" Mrs. Huo went straight to the point.

"Yes." Chunyu Yan replied truthfully.

"He wants to be promoted?" Mrs. Huo's family smiled slightly.

"Yes." Chunyu Yan didn't understand what Mrs. Huo's family was doing with these questions.

"I can give him this chance." Mrs. Huo's family tempted.

"Eh?" Chunyu Yan was very puzzled, so he asked, "Ma'am, what do you mean?"

"I mean……"

Afterwards, Mrs. Huo's family revealed all her plans.

"It's absolutely impossible. Poison the queen. Your Majesty will investigate and I will die." After hearing Mrs. Huo's plan, Chun Yuyan was very scared.

"Chronic poison doesn't die after drinking it. It takes a while to die after drinking it. So many female doctors have been in contact with the queen, and many court ladies have also been in contact with the queen. Who would know that you poisoned it?" Mrs. Huo Sneaky smiled.

After hesitating for a long time, Chunyuyan still agreed.

If you don't agree, you may be killed here by the servants of the Huo family. Even if you report it to the emperor, the emperor will not be able to punish the Huo family. After all, everyone knows that the emperor is just a puppet. At that time, Mrs. Huo will definitely kill her to vent her anger.

Facing Mrs. Huo's coercion and temptation, Chunyuyan had no choice.

If you take poison, you will die for a lifetime, and if you don't take poison, you will die for ten. Relatively speaking, it is better to use poison.

……

Jiaofangdian

"Cough cough~"

Empress Xu Pingjun was coughing constantly. She had just given birth and her body was very weak.

"Queen, it's time to drink the medicine."

The female doctor Chun Yuyan personally fed the queen Xu Pingjun with medicine.

Before feeding the medicine, according to the usual practice, Chunyu Yan took a sip by himself first, indicating that there was no problem.

Later, he changed another spoon to feed the queen medicine, so as not to make his saliva disgusting to the queen.

However, at the moment of changing the spoon, Chunyuyan had already secretly sprinkled the poison powder on the spoon, and then used the spoon to stir the soup.

Empress Xu Pingjun didn't notice Chunyuyan's little movements just now, she was too weak and had been in a semi-comatose state.

swoosh~
"Cough cough!"

After Xu Pingjun drank the medicinal soup, his cough became more serious.

……

at night
"Cough cough!"

The queen's cough continued to worsen, and she coughed up mouthfuls of bloody sputum.

The female doctors and court ladies panicked and didn't know what to do.

Chunyuyan looked at the queen whose cough was getting worse, feeling very disturbed, the queen was too weak.

Most people would die after two days after drinking those poisons, but the queen felt that she might have to die tonight.

If this is the case, Chunyuyan's suspicion is too great.

"I'm sick—"

At the last moment of her life, Empress Xu Pingjun called the emperor's name.

"Queen!"

The female doctors were terrified. If the queen died, how could they get rid of their relationship?
In the end, Empress Xu Pingjun died of shortness of breath.

Seeing the queen die on the spot, the palace was completely silent, and no one dared to speak.

Finally, a court lady ran out to report the matter to the emperor.

Soon after, hurried footsteps sounded outside the palace.

Da da da--

"Mr. Ping!"

Before the person arrives, the sound comes first, which shows how impatient the person is.

Emperor Liu Bing had already arrived at the Jiaofang Palace, walked up to Xu Pingjun, and said anxiously, "Ping Jun, wake up!"

However, the queen did not respond at all.

"Mr. Ping!!!"

After confirming that Queen Xu Pingjun was indeed dead, Emperor Liu Bing could no longer suppress his anger, and glared at the many court ladies and female doctors present: "What's going on?!"

Everyone dared not speak, trembling all over.

The person involved, Chunyu Yan, swallowed, feeling extremely frightened.

At this moment, Emperor Liu Bing still didn't know that the queen was poisoned to death, and thought that the female doctors might have improperly cared for the queen, which caused the death of the queen, so he ordered all the female doctors and maids present to be imprisoned.

"Your Majesty, the Empress is short of breath, coughing and bleeding continuously, and then..." A court lady told the truth just now in fear.

The rest of the maids and female doctors also told what they knew.

……

after one day
Huojia
boom!
"You idiot!"

Huo Guang looked at his wife Xian angrily. He didn't expect his wife to do such a stupid thing as poisoning the queen in order to make her daughter a queen.

"I also wanted to become the queen for Cheng Jun..." Mrs. Huo's family trembled, she didn't expect that the emperor Liu Bing, who had always retreated, would have such a strong reaction to Xu Pingjun's death.

"At this point, we can only kill and silence, alas..." Huo Guang was helpless, he originally only wanted to be a peaceful official, but what his wife did turned him into the opposite of the emperor.

……

another month later

Chunyuyan was first released from prison on guarantee by Huo Guang, and not long after that, his whole family was killed by a group of rangers.

Afterwards, Huo Guang and all the ministers asked Emperor Liu Bing to appoint Huo Chengjun as the new queen.

After these two incidents happened, Emperor Liu Bing already understood that the murderer should be the Huo family.

"Don't destroy the Huo family, I am sick, I swear! No! For! People!"

The heartbroken emperor secretly swore in his heart that he must avenge Xu Pingjun.
