Chapter 770
The Empress Dowager came in from outside the hall and looked at the emperor lying on the bed. His complexion was ashen, and there was still no sign of improvement.

She sighed, with a bit of distress in her eyes. Although she was not the emperor's biological mother, after so many years of upbringing, she still had some feelings in her heart.

"How is the emperor?" the queen mother asked.

The imperial doctor who was waiting on the side immediately bowed his head and replied: "Not very optimistic, the emperor's body is still wasting too much, unless the genius doctor is alive, otherwise there is no way to recover."

The Empress Dowager's face became even colder, and she scolded: "Everyone is trash, I don't know what the royal family is supporting you for!"

Seeing that the Queen Mother was angry, everyone in the hall knelt down on the ground and shouted in unison: "The Queen Mother calms down."

Seeing people kneeling all over the ground, and looking at the dying emperor lying on the bed, the Queen Mother frowned even tighter, she waved her hand and said, "Forget it, you all step back, don't disturb the emperor's rest, Zhang Biquan, you Stay."

The old eunuch who was about to retreat with the palace people was stopped by the queen mother, he retreated and bowed to the queen mother: "Yes."

After everyone retreated, the queen mother let go of her defenses, looked at the old eunuch and said, "You have served the emperor for so many years, so you should know the seriousness."

Hearing this, the old eunuch looked dignified, and nodded slightly to the queen mother: "Don't worry, the queen mother, this old slave knows the seriousness."

The queen mother looked at him, he was the emperor's most trusted person, some things even she, the queen mother, might not know, but the old eunuch must know, she coughed lightly, and said: "The emperor is critically ill now, Ai's house is temporarily blocked, so as not to The cause of uneasiness is just that the emperor is very ill and has not yet established a crown prince. To put it in a bad word, he might die someday. I ask you, has the emperor made an imperial decree?"

The old lady listened to the news, her expression changed drastically, she immediately shook her head in panic when she saw the queen mother, and said: "Queen mother, this old slave doesn't know, the emperor has never told this old slave before."

The queen mother couldn't believe it, looked at the old eunuch with doubts in her eyes, and said, "You really don't know?"

The old eunuch nodded affirmatively, and said: "Queen Mother, this old slave really doesn't know that the emperor's illness has come on in a hurry, and he didn't have time to explain anything, let alone an imperial decree. This old slave is powerless even if he wants to."

The Empress Dowager stared at him, his expression didn't look like he was lying, if he really didn't know, it meant that the emperor didn't leave an imperial decree, so it wasn't certain who would own the throne.

Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager looked even more serious, looked at the old eunuch, and said with a bit of warning: "The Ai family only asks this time, if you dare to lie, the Ai family will not forgive you."

The old eunuch let out a sigh, and said submissively: "The queen mother has learned from you, this old slave dare not."

The Queen Mother knew that if she continued to ask, she couldn't ask anything, so she sighed, glanced at the emperor lying on the bed, and said: "You take care of the emperor, if there is any situation, let someone come to inform Aijia immediately."

The old eunuch nodded in agreement, and said, "Don't worry, Queen Mother."

After the empress dowager left, the old eunuch watched him leave, then looked at the emperor lying on the bed, with sparkles in his eyes.

Half a month ago, Duanmukai led the expedition and won the first battle, which was exciting.

Those rebellious parties are basically bandits, without organization and discipline. If they really face head-to-head, they will not be opponents at all.

Duanmukai subdued those rebellious parties without any effort, but he did not return to the imperial capital triumphantly, but instead stayed in Jiangnan, nominally helping the people of Jiangnan to recover.

Under Duanmukai's rectification, Jiangnan has recovered a lot, and has the vitality of the past.

Standing by the river, Duanmukai stood with his hands behind his back, and a person stood behind him, looking at Duanmukai standing there.

Not long after, a person came over and whispered a few words to the person standing behind Duanmukai. The person listened, waved him away, walked to Duanmukai's side, and said, "Master, the man in Huzhou The news came from the side, it is said that some clues were found in Ye'an County."

Duanmukai frowned slightly, and asked, "Ye'an County? Where is it?"

The man sank and said, "Huzhou."

Duanmukai clenched his hands behind his back and clenched them into fists. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Huzhou?"

The man let out a cry and said, "In Huzhou, Miss Ling'er seems to have disappeared in Huzhou back then."

Duanmukai's frown became tighter and tighter. He took a deep breath and said, "Leave the affairs here to other people. Let's transfer to Huzhou."

Is that you?If you, why don't you come back to me?

Thinking of the indifferent eyes that looked at me that day, it was clearly a similar face, but the gentle eyes were gone. Looking at him was like looking at a stranger. Did he not know him, or was he pretending on purpose? Could it be true? Do you hate yourself that much?

Duanmukai's heart ached and he frowned. If it must be her, he would not let go this time.

Looking at Duanmukai's stiff back, Guo Long standing behind said: "Master, since you suspect that Diecui is Ling'er girl, why don't you capture Diecui and check her body to know, the master said Linger There is a cinnabar mole on the girl's collarbone, if Diecui has it on her body, wouldn't that prove that Diecui is Miss Linger?"

"What do you know? Diecui is Wang Chenyang's person. She is not easy to mess with, and you must not startle the snake. When I come to Jiangnan this time, I just want to confirm whether Diecui is Ling'er. If it is really her, I will tell you again." I'm sure there's still time," Duanmukai scolded, with a hint of hatred in his eyes.

Seeing that Duanmu Kai was so nervous, Guo Long quickly said: "This subordinate offended, please forgive me, master."

Duanmukai didn't speak, but frowned more tightly. He had another reason that he didn't explain. He was worried that Diecui was not Ling'er, and he was happy again. After so many years of searching, he failed again. Duanmukai was worried that he would I can't bear it.

Duanmukai and his party arrived in Huzhou quietly without disturbing anyone.

Ye'an County is neither big nor small. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, so it can be called a mountain city.

Duanmukai recalled that when he and Linger were trapped in the mountains, there were many cliffs. Looking at the cliffs around Ye'an County, Duanmukai boldly guessed that when Linger ran away, he fell off the cliff and ended up here.

Entering Ye'an County, on the long street, there are few people coming and going.

This place has just gone through the chaos of war, and it is not surprising that there are few people.

There was an old beggar on the street, as soon as he saw someone coming, he immediately leaned over, said with a mouthful of yellow teeth, "Master, please give me a little money."

Seeing this, Guo Long and the others were about to drive away, but were stopped by Duan Mukai: "Wait a minute."

Guo Long stopped, looked at Duanmu Kai and asked in confusion: "Master, what's wrong?"
