Ming Dynasty fake eunuch

Chapter 236 Conspiracy
The emperor was ill, without warning, and full of conspiracy.

Compared with the emperor's sudden illness, Zheng Guifei's death was insignificant.

The emperor was accompanied by Li Xuanshi and the crown prince Zhu Youxiao. Liu Yijing, Han Kuang, Zhou Jiamo and others left the palace and beckoned Mu Zheng over.

"What the hell happened last night?"

Although Sun Ruyou is a minister of the Ministry of Rites, he has the most irritable temper, and he almost questioned Mu Zheng by his collar.

"My lords, Concubine Zheng Guifei sent a woman last night. When Eunuch Ye left, he had told him not to allow strangers to approach His Majesty, but after seeing this woman, His Majesty directly brought her in regardless of the dissuasion of the miscellaneous family."

Mu Zheng said with a solemn face, of course he didn't dare to hide anything when such a big event happened.

At this moment, he was full of guilt. Ye Xun trusted him so much and handed over the West Factory to him, but he didn't want something to happen in the end. How should he explain to Ye Xun?

After hearing Mu Zheng's words, several important ministers couldn't help but look at each other, because they all heard the news that Concubine Zheng had hanged herself from the beam just now, and now it seems that Concubine Zheng committed suicide in fear of crime.

The matter seemed to be like this, but everyone present was not stupid, and they all realized that the matter was not as simple as it appeared on the surface. If the matter really happened to that woman, it would be a long-planned conspiracy.

While talking, Li Xuan waiter rushed over like crazy, and shouted angrily: "Come on, go and catch that bitch surnamed Zheng, I will destroy her nine clans!"

The guards and eunuchs outside the palace looked at me and I looked at you, but no one moved. Although I knew that the emperor favored this woman, she didn't have a prominent position after all, and the prince was still there, so I couldn't get her to give orders what!
Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Li Xuan couldn't help being even angrier. Just as he was about to get angry, he saw Wang An trotting from a distance, but it turned out that he was the one who got the news that the emperor was seriously ill. arrived.

"Wang An, that bitch surnamed Zheng poisoned His Majesty, send someone to arrest her quickly"

Li Xuan waiter hadn't finished speaking, the little eunuch who had just reported to Wang An had already approached Wang An, and reported Zheng Guifei's suicide again.

Wang An nodded, and walked past her quickly as if he didn't see Li Xuanshi.

The people Wang An admired most were members of the Donglin Party, and the person he hated the most was Li Xuanshi. When Zhu Changluo was in good health, he never gave her any good looks. Now that he was anxious about Zhu Changluo's condition, he was even less in the mood to talk to her.

Li Xuan, who was ignored by everyone, turned blue and white for a while, and at this moment, she suddenly made a move that no one expected.

Li Xuan waiter turned around and took a few quick steps, then grabbed Zhu Youxiao's wrist, and dragged Zhu Youxiao out of the emperor's bedroom, looking in the direction that he should be heading back to Yingxi Palace.

As a result, all the ministers were dumbfounded. The emperor was seriously ill. How could he take the prince away at this time when the prince should be accompanying him?
But she is the emperor's wife, and the emperor doesn't have a queen in the palace. If she takes away the emperor's son, it is completely the emperor's family business. How can the ministers intervene?

Anyway, the emperor is still alive, so let's talk about it after the emperor wakes up!

Thinking of this, several important ministers returned to the emperor's bedroom and continued to wait for the diagnosis results of the imperial physicians.

Sun Ruyou was at the end, and after everyone had entered, he pulled Mu Zheng aside and said in a deep voice, "Where's that woman?"

Mu Zheng shook his head and said: "After finding something wrong, I have already sent people to search inside and outside, but they couldn't find that woman. I have already sent word that Xichang will also try my best to track down this woman."

This is what Sun Ruyou wanted to say. Seeing that Mu Zheng had thought of it, he nodded and said, "Hurry up and get back to Eunuch Ye right away. This matter is by no means that simple. The palace needs him to come back and sit in charge."

"Don't worry, my lord. When the palace gate just opened, I have already sent someone to inform Eunuch Ye."

What Mu Zheng is looking forward to most now is that Ye Xun can come back as soon as possible. He is really at a loss to deal with this unexpected situation.

In the bedroom, Wang An stared closely at the old doctor who took Zhu Changluo's pulse. He watched Zhu Changluo grow up, and he was the one who had the deepest affection for Zhu Changluo.

After a long time, the old doctor finally took back his hand, stood up and took a few steps back, then shook his head to the ministers who looked at him nervously.

"I'm old and incompetent, I can't tell what kind of poison His Majesty is suffering from. Your Majesty has worked too hard. Last night, he visited the palace several times. In addition to being poisoned, I'm afraid."

Speaking of this, the old doctor couldn't continue, but the meaning was already obvious, that is, the emperor would not live for a few days, so hurry up and prepare for the funeral!
Before the minister could say anything, Wang An suddenly said, "Are you sure His Majesty is poisoned?"

Seeing that someone questioned him, the old doctor immediately felt a little uneasy, and said displeasedly: "This old man has served two generations of emperors, and he has never made a single mistake. How can he not see that His Majesty is poisoned?"

Wang An nodded, turned around and came to Zhu Changluo's couch, beckoned the little eunuch to prepare a glass of warm water, then took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, and under the astonished eyes of everyone, poured a pill from the porcelain bottle and stuffed it into Zhu Changluo's mouth. Then he took the warm water from the little eunuch and slowly poured it down for Zhu Changluo.

Seeing this, the old imperial doctor finally couldn't help asking: "My lord, how can your Majesty take medicine indiscriminately in this situation?"

Wang An said coldly: "Your Majesty has been served by the miscellaneous family since he was a child. Do you think that someone poisoned your majesty only today? If there is something wrong with your majesty, the miscellaneous family will accompany your majesty."

Liu Yijing and other members of the Donglin Party who were present were all good friends of Wang An, and they knew him well. It can be said that Zhu Changluo can live to this day, and Wang An is definitely the number one hero.

Strange to say, after Zhu Changluo took Wang An's pill, the flush on his face gradually faded, and after a while, he said "Mmm!", and actually opened his eyes.

All the ministers couldn't help being overjoyed when they saw this, and rushed to get up on the couch one after another.

"Your Majesty, how are you doing, Your Majesty?"

Zhu Changluo looked around at the crowd, as if he was looking for someone, and when he saw that there was no one he wanted to see, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

With a forced smile, he said in a weak tone: "I'm fine, Wang An is here to stay, you all need to step back first!"

The ministers had no choice but to ask the emperor to take care, and then retreated one after another.

No one noticed that Wei Zhongxian, who had been waiting by the side, slipped away quietly after realizing that the emperor had woken up.

Knowing that the emperor's life is not long, there must be something urgent to tell himself at this time, Wang An waved with tears and drove out all the eunuchs, court ladies and imperial physicians who were serving, and ordered the palace gate to be closed outside.

Leaning closer to Zhu Changluo, he said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you can tell me anything, and this servant will obey you."

"There are traitors in the palace, protect the prince, and quickly recruit Ye Xun back"

In just one sentence, Zhu Changluo seemed to have exhausted all his strength. After he finished speaking, his chest heaved sharply.

Seeing this, Wang An's tears flowed down uncontrollably, and he choked up and said, "Your Majesty rests at ease to recuperate from illness, this servant will do his best to never let the prince suffer any harm."

The person Zhu Changluo is most grateful to is also Wang An. Hearing Wang An's words, tears also flowed down, and he said in a weak voice: "Recruiting the British Duke and cabinet ministers."

Wang An understood that the emperor was about to explain his funeral, so he endured his grief and stood up. Before he could turn around, the palace door was pushed open from the outside.
