Chapter 416
The Empress Dowager was stabbed by Zhao Huan with a sword and managed to avoid the vital point, but she is still unconscious, even the imperial doctor can't guarantee whether she can wake up, so she can only guard in the Compassionate Ning Palace in fear, Constantly changing medicines and acupuncture, hoping that the queen mother can survive and save the lives of their imperial doctor and family.

After Zhao Heng returned to the palace, he immediately came to the Palace of Compassion to visit the Empress Dowager. All the concubines gathered in the Palace of Compassion, and everyone wanted to show their filial piety at this time.

"Go back." Zhao Heng looked coldly at the concubines kneeling on the floor, not thinking about dealing with these women.

Concubine Yi's eyes were slightly red, "Your Majesty, my concubine is really worried about the Empress Dowager, I beg the emperor to let my concubine stay and take care of the Empress Dowager."

Zhang Jiaojiao let out a sound in her heart, she is the empress dowager's niece, she didn't even have time to say that she wanted to stay, Yibi, who used to put on a show, spoke first.

"Your Majesty, my aunt's life and death are uncertain now, and my concubines can't feel at ease..." Zhang Jiaojiao was unwilling to fall behind Concubine Yi, and hurried forward to express her filial piety.

Zhao Heng looked at them coldly, "In that case, the two of you stay and take care of the Empress Dowager in the Palace of Compassion."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhang Jiaojiao secretly rejoiced, the limelight was finally not stolen by Concubine Yi.

Yipin's expression was strange, why did she feel that the emperor's words were a bit strange.

Zhao Heng still had a lot of things to deal with. After seeing the Queen Mother, he left the Compassion Palace.

"Your Majesty, the seven princes and their party have all ambushed, leaving more than a dozen survivors. No matter how tortured they are, they refuse to speak." Song Zihong had already been waiting outside the study, and when he saw Zhao Heng coming, he stepped forward to report.

"Who are they?" Zhao Heng asked in a deep voice.

Song Zihong said in a low voice, "They are all dead men who were raised by the concubine Tang."

Zhao Heng sneered, "I'm afraid the first emperor didn't know, but his favorite woman raised dead soldiers outside behind his back."

"Your Majesty..." Song Zihong didn't answer, but just looked at Zhao Heng hesitantly.

"Say." Zhao Heng's eyes darkened.

"These dead men... some of them turned out to be imperial guards in the palace." Song Zihong lowered his voice, he knew the meaning behind these words, and almost didn't dare to look at Zhao Heng's face.

Zhao Heng's handsome face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, "What do you mean, these dead men were raised by the late emperor for Concubine Tang?"

Song Zihong couldn't guess the late emperor's actions at will, he lowered his head and didn't answer.

"Okay, okay!" Zhao Heng sneered, and it seemed that it was as he had guessed. If he hadn't pre-empted the attack, I'm afraid that now the throne is still uncertain who is sitting.

"Your Majesty, I think none of these dead men can stay." Song Zihong said hastily.

If other people in the court knew that the dead man was raised by the first emperor, then Zhao Huan's charge of rebellion and forcing the palace would become a bit subtle.

Zhao Heng wanted to find out from the mouths of these dead men, who else belonged to Zhao Huan besides the King of Qin. He had a vague intuition that the real person hiding behind was not the King of Qin.

But who is it?
If it was Qi Moyuan, he would have put Zhao Huan's rebels into the city yesterday.

If it wasn't his, who would it be?
"Your Majesty, Marquis Zhen Guo is asking to see you." Chen Quan came in with a bent waist and reported.

Zhao Heng gave Song Zihong a sharp look.

Song Zihong lowered his head, "Your Majesty, my humble minister...resign."

He already understood what Zhao Heng meant, those dead men could not stay.

Qi Moyuan was pushed into the imperial study by Chen Quan, and met Song Zihong.

The two looked at each other, saluted and passed by.

"Zhen Guohou has worked hard." Zhao Heng saw the blood on Qi Moyuan's body. Although he did not show up at the city gate yesterday, he also knew that although Qi Moyuan could not stand on his legs, he still fought bloody to stop the rebels who were about to break into the city.

"I don't dare to bear the word of hard work, just relying on verbal instructions is not considered hard work." Qi Moyuan said in a low voice, his tone inevitably revealed a lonely mood.

Zhao Heng said, "Last night, Zhao Huan broke into Wei's house and threatened Miss Wei, did you know about this?"

Qi Moyuan said in a low voice, "I have heard that, I have visited Miss Wei at Wei's house, and she is still fine."

"This Miss Wei... really surprised me a few times. With a sword on her neck, she can still keep her expression on her face. She is calmer than those noble girls from famous families. I really can't believe it. grew up in the countryside."

"Fearless people are ignorant. Miss Wei probably doesn't understand anything, so she is more courageous." Qi Moyuan said.

Zhao Heng smiled, "Her name is Zhao Huan... Ah Huan."

Qi Moyuan frowned slightly, "I don't know when she became friends with the Seventh Prince."

"Friend?" Zhao Heng's thin-lipped smile became colder, "I'm also surprised, why did she look at Zhao Huan with admiration?"

"Your Majesty, Miss Wei doesn't understand anything. She is a simple-minded person. She treats anyone who treats her well as a friend." Qi Moyuan explained.

"I didn't blame her, you don't need to be so hasty to defend." Zhao Heng said lightly, "What do you think about King Qin's rebellion?"

Qi Moyuan laughed at himself, "I've been treating illnesses and drinking medicine at home these days, and I don't know anything about foreign affairs. Please let the emperor know."

"In the battle of Wangyue Valley, King Qin sent someone to assassinate you." Zhao Heng said, "He wants to frame you and get rid of my left arm and right arm."

"It's him!" Qi Moyuan's eyes burst into intense anger, "For his own selfish desires, King Qin actually sacrificed the lives of so many people, is he colluding with Xijiang!"

Zhao Heng nodded, "That's right, he has colluded with Xijiang for a long time, and he also spread the news everywhere under the guise of buying calligraphy and painting. There is one more thing..."

Qi Moyuan looked up at Zhao Heng.

"The poisoning of Ah Ning was also done by the King of Qin." Although Zhao Heng said this calmly, he could still hear the anger in his tone.

"..." Qi Moyuan clenched his fists and remained silent for a long time.

"I want to flatten his Yungui." Zhao Heng said in a deep voice, "I originally wanted you to fight, but you are like this now..."

He had only guarded the city gate all night, and his face looked as pale as paper, so how could he let him put down the rebellion.

"You should rest well and wait for the good news." Zhao Heng said.

Qi Moyuan said in a low voice, "Can I ask the emperor for a favor?"

"What's the matter?" Zhao Heng asked.

"I want to see King Qin." Qi Moyuan said.

"I will let people keep him alive, when the time comes, you can ask whatever you want." Zhao Heng said.

Qi Moyuan cupped his hands and saluted, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhao Heng looked at Qi Moyuan, "Go down and rest, let Doctor Hua take you back."

This is the final plan to release Miracle Doctor Hua from the palace.

"Yes." Qi Moyuan replied.

Not long after Qi Moyuan returned to Qi's house, the imperial decree arrived shortly thereafter. This was Zhao Heng's praise for his meritorious service in defending the city and clarification of the grievances of the Battle of Moon Valley. Everything was secretly plotted by King Qin, which caused Qi to lose so many soldiers.

Not only has Qi Moyuan's Duke's title restored, but Qi Yiru has also been conferred the title of county lord.
