Wang Tiqian and Wei Zhongxian also just received the news, one of these two people is the eunuch of the celebrant Zhangyin, and the other is the eunuch of the celebrant Bingbi, it stands to reason that the inner court is under the control of the two, and they should be the first to get the news when such a big thing happens, but the thing is so strange, the time when the two of them got the news was after Zhang Yan.

When Wei Zhongxian, who was handling official business with the master of ceremonies, and Wang Tiqian, just heard the news, his first feeling was that the sky was about to fall, and the two looked at each other without saying a word, and rushed towards the Qianqing Palace.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty......"

Wei Zhongxian hadn't arrived yet, but the voice had already come in.

Wei Zhongxian, who threw himself on the ground, looked at Zhu Youxiao lying on the bed and only felt that the sky was about to fall, don't look at him being called 9,900 years old outside, which is only 100 years less than the emperor, but no matter who knows that Wei Zhongxian, who is 9,900 years old, is actually a eunuch attached to the emperor, once anything happens to Zhu Youxiao, he Wei Zhongxian will fall from the clouds in an instant, and how high he is praised on weekdays will fall as badly as he falls, which is completely different from people like Zhang Yan and Yang Feng.

Zhang Yan, as the queen, is also the master of the harem, even if Zhu Youxiao is gone, no one dares to disrespect her if anyone ascends the throne, she can still be her queen mother.

Yang Feng is the same, don't look at Yang Feng and the literati led by the Donglin Party are incompatible, but in fact he is the most detached. He held the Daming Imperial Bank in one hand, a gold absorber for daily gold gains, and the other hand also held the military power seal, no matter who was the emperor, he would not dare to deal with him rashly, otherwise once he was angered, would he really think that the Jiangning army established by him was a vegetarian?

Thinking of this, Wei Zhongxian was sad in his heart, he couldn't cry like rain for a while, and Wang Tiqian, who was kneeling on the other side, couldn't cry, as the so-called son of heaven and a courtier, if something happened to Zhu Youxiao, he would not be able to do it anymore, and sooner or later he would be kicked down, and his best ending was probably to be sent to Nanjing to guard the emperor's mausoleum.

The already dull bedroom was made even more depressed by these two people, and the eunuchs and palace maids next to them and even the imperial doctor did not dare to come over to dissuade them, these two people were the bosses of the inner court, and it would be troublesome if they really angered them.

However, there are still people here who can ignore them, Wang Tiqian and Wei Zhongxian, who were crying, felt that someone had kicked them in the ass respectively, and then a cold voice sounded next to them, "Wang Tiqian, Wei Zhongxian, don't howl the two of you, Your Majesty is not dead yet, and it is not your turn to howl!" ”

"Eh, who the fuck is so bold as to dare to kick our family!"

Wang Tiqian and Wei Zhongxian were furious, and they jumped up and wanted to fight with the guy who was bold and hairy, but when they saw the person who kicked them, the expressions of the two immediately withered, because the person who kicked them was none other than Zhang Yan, the queen of Yi'an, who was the master of the harem and the only one who could sit on an equal footing with Zhu Youzhen.

After seeing the people who kicked them, what else could Wei Zhongxian and the others say, although Wei Zhongxian and Zhang Yan were not very good at dealing with each other, but as eunuchs, they were all Zhang Yan's domestic slaves, and life and death were in Zhang Yan's hands, and no matter what people did to them, there was no problem.

Not only that, but the two of them had to kneel down and ask Zhang Yan for their guilt, "The slave Wei Zhongxian (Wang Tiqian) asks the queen to be safe." ”

I saw Zhang Yanfeng's eyes full of anger, and her pretty face was wrapped in a layer of frost and glared at the two of them: "Wei Zhongxian, Wang Tiqian, as the head of the inner court, Your Majesty has such a big thing now, you can't escape the blame!" This palace is now asking you, why didn't you arrange a few people who knew how to follow you when your majesty went boating on the inner lake, and after your majesty fell into the water, no one went down to save people in the first place, but dragged it out for almost a quarter of an hour before Shanshan was late, can any of you tell this palace why? ”

"Slave maid...... Slave ......"

Wei Zhongxian's mouth opened, but he couldn't say anything, Zhang Yan's words were not wrong at all. When Zhu Youxiao fell into the water, there were eunuchs and palace maids around him, but it was not until Zhu Youxiao fell into the water that the eunuchs who rescued him almost a quarter of an hour did Shanshan come late, and when Zhu Youxiao was rescued, he was already dying, which is unjustifiable in any way, and the two of them who are the heads of the inner court are even more to blame.

"Mother, the slave is guilty! Please punish the mother! Wei Zhongxian and Wang Tiqian reluctantly knelt down again to plead guilty.

"Reprimand?"

Zhang Yanbei gritted her teeth loudly: "Because of your incompetence, Your Majesty has just suffered this great disaster, and it is difficult to solve the hatred in the heart of this palace if you are cut with a thousand knives, but now there are still things for you to do, this palace will let you go for the time being, and now you will immediately go to this palace to find out the truth." Remember, this palace only gave you two hours, and now you can go down! ”

"Xie Niangniang's grace of not killing, but why use two hours, slaves and maids only need one hour is enough!"

They glanced at each other, and both of them saw the murderous aura in each other's eyes.

Who are Wei Zhongxian and Wang Tiqian? Especially Wei Zhongxian, known as nine thousand years old, he has been in charge of the harem for many years, it can be said that his influence has penetrated all over the harem, once it is launched, it is not a joke, but in just half an hour, the news has been coming in a steady stream, but it is not good news.

First of all, someone came to report that the eunuch who first tempted Zhu Youxiao to take a boat to escape the summer had hanged himself in his house, and he committed suicide with six eunuchs and four palace maids who followed Zhu Youxiao on a boat trip to the garden today, and all the clues were cut off.

After hearing the news, Wei Zhongxian had the heart to kill, and at this time he didn't understand that Zhu Youxiao had been assassinated by a premeditated and well-organized assassination, and the other party wanted to put Zhu Youxiao to death, thinking of this, Wei Zhongxian felt a chill rising from behind.

Zhang Yan, who has been staying in the house to accompany Zhu Youxiao since the beginning of her career, is a smart woman, Wei Zhongxian realized that she could naturally think of it, as soon as she thought that those enemies hiding in the dark were so bold to this extent, Zhang Yan felt a burst of powerlessness attack, she found that at this time she couldn't do anything, she could only watch her husband slide into the abyss step by step.

She looked at Wei Zhongxian and Wang Tiqian, who were both kneeling in front of her, and waved her hand weakly, "You all go down, this palace wants to be quiet." ”

Wei Zhongxian and Wang Tiqian didn't dare to say anything, the two of them kowtowed to Zhang Yan and stood up silently, just as the two of them were about to leave, there was a weak moan next to them, and then a surprised voice sounded, "Queen Mother, Your Majesty has woken up!" ”

"Bang Dang ......"

I only heard a crisp sound, which was the sound of the teacup falling on the ground, but at this time, no one cared about this, and everyone's eyes looked at Zhu Youxiao's bed......

After the emergency rescue of the imperial doctor, Zhu Youxiao finally woke up, which undoubtedly made Zhang Yan and Wei Zhongxian, who were already a little desperate, ecstatic, but the subsequent words of the imperial doctor Zhang made them a little desperate.

"Niangniang, although Your Majesty has woken up, but has been suffering from a high fever, and Your Majesty has been drowning for too long, and his lungs have accumulated too much lake water, so that he has developed into a cough, if there is no miracle, I am afraid that Your Majesty will still ...... Or ......"

Speaking of this, Imperial Doctor Zhang stopped, but everyone understood what he meant.

Marvel...... What is a miracle? Miracle refers to those things that do not appear in ten thousand on weekdays, in other words, in layman's terms, it is the same as the probability of winning the lottery in the future, which undoubtedly makes Zhang Yan's mood despair, Zhang Yan's mood from despair to ecstasy in one day, and experienced despair, which is a torture for a woman who is not yet twenty years old.

"Niangniang......" Seeing Zhang Yan's pale face, the corners of Imperial Doctor Zhang's mouth squirmed and wanted to say something, but in the end he swallowed it again, and he bowed deeply to Zhang Yan and quietly retreated.

It was late at night, and although more than a dozen lamps and candles were lit in the dormitory to illuminate the room, Zhang Yan felt a burst of coldness in her heart, did she want to lose her husband at this most beautiful age.

"Mother, it's late at night, you haven't eaten for a day, hurry up and eat something." Zhang Yan's personal maid Chu Rui brought a bowl of ginseng soup.

Zhang Yan shook her head, "No, this palace is not in the mood to eat, you can take it back." ”

Chu Rui wanted to persuade a few more words, but at this moment, a faint voice sounded beside him.

"Azusa Tong...... Azusa Tong ......"

"Your Majesty!"

Zhang Yan's delicate body was for a while, she almost jumped up and rushed to the window, grabbed Zhu Youxiao's hand, and couldn't hold back her tears anymore, "Your Majesty, you finally woke up!" ”

"Ahem...... cough cough cough ......"

Zhu Youxiao, who was lying on the bed, had a sallow face and kept coughing, he wanted to sit up but found that things that were easy in the past had now become extremely difficult, and finally he could only lie back helplessly.

He lay on the bed gasping for breath, only to feel a great exhaustion hit him. Although he was in a coma for the past two days longer than he was awake, he still knew something about what was happening around him, and after recovering a little strength, he turned his head with difficulty, looked at Zhang Yan, who was already crying and his eyes were red and swollen, and said with some guilt: "Zitong...... It's been a hard two days. ”

"Your Majesty, concubines are not bitter, this is what concubines should do." Zhang Yan sobbed and said, "You are bitter." ”

"Don't say so much." Zhu Youxiao knew that he might not be awake for too long, so he asked with difficulty: "Zitong, how is my health, and what did the imperial doctor say?" ”

Zhang Yanqiang smiled and comforted: "Your Majesty don't worry, the imperial doctor said that Your Majesty has his own natural appearance, and I believe he will recover soon." ”

"I want to hear the truth!" Zhu Youxiao's voice became louder, "If even Zitong is deceiving me, I don't know who to believe." ”

"This ......" Zhang Yan gritted her teeth and endured the grief in her heart: "The imperial doctor said that you have been in the water for too long, so you are likely to have a cough, and now you have a high fever that does not go away, if there is no miracle...... Fear...... I'm afraid ......"

Note that the cough Zhang Yan mentioned is not the popular cough that later generations said, but the name of pneumonia.

"I see."

To Zhang Yan's surprise, Zhu Youxiao did not show a desperate or sad expression after hearing it, he closed his eyes and rested for a while, then suddenly opened his eyes and said: "Zitong, you immediately send someone to Fujian, tell Jiang Ningbo about the things here, and summon him to come to Beijing quickly, you must hurry!" ”

"Your Majesty!"

Zhang Yan was stunned for a while after hearing this, how could Zhu Youxiao think of summoning Yang Feng back at this time. You must know that Yang Feng is now competing with Zheng Zhilong and the Dutch in Fujian, how can he suddenly be summoned back to Beijing at this time?

"Do you hear that?" Seeing that Zhang Yan was still stunned, Zhu Youxiao was a little anxious: "Now that the situation is urgent, go immediately, and tell him again, let him lead the troops into Beijing!" If there is anyone in this world who can save me, I am afraid that only Jiang Ningbo is it! ”

Zhang Yan was confused when she heard the previous words, but only the last sentence woke up Zhang Yan, and Yang Feng recalled it in her heart bit by bit with magical means in the past.

"Yes, Jiang Ningbo...... With Jiang Ningbo's means, there must be a way! ”

Zhu Youxiao struggled to finish saying this sentence and then fell into a coma.

After Zhang Yan instructed the palace maid to take care of her husband, she immediately summoned a eunuch, and then the eunuch ran towards the celebrant as fast as he could, and an hour later, three knights on fast horses galloped out of the gate of the capital overnight towards the south......

In the dark night, a middle-aged man's voice sounded in a secret room, "My lord, the people from Dongchang have gone out of the capital to the south, and I don't know where they went, do you want to send someone to intercept them?" ”

An old voice replied: "If the old man is not bad, the place where they go is to Fujian to send a letter to Yang Feng, but Fujian is thousands of miles away from the capital, and when Yang Feng rushes back, I am afraid that the daylily will be cold, we don't need to intercept him, otherwise it will be easier to startle the snake." When that person in the palace dies, we have a way to concoct him and return the pain he inflicted on us in the past ten times and a hundred times! ”

"Understood, it's still an adult's wisdom." After the middle-aged man praised it, he said a little unwillingly: "It's just a pity, if it was too late that day, it would have been nice to let that person die on the spot, and we wouldn't have to endure it for so long." ”

The old voice was silent for a while before sneering, "It's almost ...... There was news from the palace that the man couldn't last long, and now he was suffering from a cough, and he would not be able to hold it for ten and a half months at most. I understand what he meant, he wants to summon Yang Feng back to entrust the big thing, but he doesn't want to think about it, when Yang Feng comes back, it will be a month later, can he hold on to that time? ”

"Hahaha......"

After saying that, a cold laugh rang out in the secret room......
