After the emperor was assassinated, the palace was under martial law.

All the concubines were ordered to copy the scriptures in their respective palaces by a decree issued by Concubine Liu Gui, in the name of praying for the emperor, and the concubines dared not speak out.

The people in the palace are even more daring to come out with one, and they are careful in doing things, for fear that if one is not good, the master will use it as a punching bag.

I thought it would be better if the queen mother returned to the palace. She didn't want all the concubines to go to the Cining Palace to greet her, but she was told that the queen mother was copying scriptures for the emperor, and it was inconvenient to see people.

The concubines and concubines were dumbfounded. The queen mother was copying scriptures. Could it be that they were more noble than the queen mother? Or do you not want the emperor?

In this way, I dare not complain anymore.

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Eunuch Li and Eunuch Deng helped the emperor to clean himself up and put on clean clothes. They were already sweating profusely.

Although they are also servants, but as the eunuchs beside the emperor, where they usually need to do it themselves, if they give an order, naturally there are people who are rushing to help.

But the situation is different now. In order to avoid too many people talking, the emperor has to do everything by themselves, and they are still in fear all day long. After more than half a month, the two lost ten pounds.

The emperor had a piece of cloth stuffed in his mouth and was staring at the two of them.

As long as he is awake, he basically looks like this. For such a long time, the two of them are still a little frightened.

Eunuch Li said with a pleasing smile: "Your Majesty, this old slave will change a piece of cloth for you."

The emperor gasped in anger and continued to stare at him.

Li Gonggong flinched, and he mustered up his courage to reach out and pull out the cloth that had been soaked in saliva from his mouth.

"Your Majesty, we are doing this because we are afraid that you will bite your tongue. If you persist, someone will come to rescue us soon." Eunuch Deng explained.

...

After a day of heavy rain, the light rain continued to fall. Listening to the sound of rain outside the house, the two felt inexplicably sad.

They knew better than anyone that once Shangguanpu succeeded in ascending the throne, the first to be killed would be their two insiders.

Heartfelt martyrdom, what a good reason...

While sighing and sighing, the door of the hall was pushed open from the outside, and the two of them hurriedly went out.

"His Royal Highness King Jing."

Shangguanpu didn't even look at the two of them, and went straight to the inner hall.

Eunuch Li and Eunuch Deng looked at each other and quickly followed.

Shangguanpu walked to the dragon's bed, stretched out his hand to pick up the bright yellow curtain, and unexpectedly met the emperor's eyes.

Seeing the cloth ball in his mouth, Shangguanpu turned around and kicked Deng and Li's father-in-law to the ground, and said angrily: "Dog slaves, that's how you take care of my father and emperor?"

Eunuch Deng and Eunuch Li fell into a ball, disregarding the pain on their bodies, and hurriedly knelt down: "His Royal Highness forgives my sin, this old slave is also worried that His Majesty will suddenly be able to speak and call people outside, in case it destroys His Highness. s plan……"

Shangguanpu raised his eyebrows: "Oh, so you are all for me?"

"The two old slaves will never dare to deceive His Highness." The two father-in-laws of Deng Li said in a trembling voice.

Shangguanpu sneered, sat down on the edge of the dragon's bed, and stretched out his hand to pull the cloth out of the emperor's mouth.

"Don't worry, this Hall of Mental Cultivation is all from the king, let alone the father and the emperor, no one will come in even if they can shout."

The two father-in-laws of Deng Li were bitter in their hearts: "Then this old slave can rest assured."

The emperor was like a beast that was only bound by his limbs and was trying to break free. His whole body was shaking violently, with blue veins on his forehead.

Shangguanpu glanced at him condescendingly and said with a smile: "Father, don't be angry, my son has already taught these two dog slaves a lesson."

He said, picking up the cloth in his hand to wipe the saliva from the corner of his mouth.

I don't know where the emperor's strength came from, he raised his head and bit Shangguanpu's hand.

Shangguan Pu abruptly pulled out his hand, blood was already seen on the circle of teeth marks on it, his eyes were cold, and he slapped the emperor's head with a slap with his backhand.

However, still not relieved, he raised his hand and wanted to continue fighting.

Eunuch Li didn't have time to think about it, so he rushed over and hugged him: "Your Highness, no, Your Highness..."

"Slave dog, you're courting death." Shangguanpu kicked him down with one foot, took two steps forward and grabbed his neck, tightening it.

Eunuch Li's face quickly turned red, and he was shivering and unable to speak, just now he was completely subconscious.

Seeing this, Eunuch Deng hurriedly explained: "Your Highness calms down your anger, Eunuch Li is also thinking of His Highness. If Mrs. Gai Minger sees the injury on His Majesty's face later, she will definitely be suspicious, then what His Highness has done before will be for nothing."

"Yes... old slave...also...for His Highness..." Eunuch Li rolled his eyes and squeezed out this sentence from the gap between his teeth.

Shangguanpu let go with a cold snort.

Eunuch Li sat down softly, kowtowing to Shangguanpu without caring about anything else: "Thank you, Your Highness, thank you Your Highness."

"Go and prepare the pen and ink and the imperial edict."

Eunuch Li froze, screaming badly in his heart.

Shangguanpu narrowed his eyes: "Why, don't you want to go?"

Eunuch Li's scalp was numb when he was seen, and what had happened just now made him feel lingering fears, so he could only bite the bullet and climb out of the inner hall.

"By the way, don't forget to bring the jade seal with you."

Eunuch Deng flattered: "He can't take that much by himself, this old slave can take it."

Shangguanpu was very satisfied with his knowledge and waved his hand.

He sat down beside the dragon bed again, thinking of what to do next, in a good mood, he reached out and turned the emperor's head back, and wiped the blood from his hands on his body.

"Father, the common people are now clamoring for the emperor's uncle who kidnapped and sold innocent women to pay for his life, and the courtiers have also filed a lawsuit for his assassination, saying that he will be severely punished. He has committed so many evil deeds. Why don't you write the imperial edict today..."

"How about beheading in three days?"

"You agree? Sure enough, he is my good father."

"Actually, apart from this today, my son has something else to do. Father, you are very old, and you still have a stroke, and you don't know when you will lose your breath. But the country cannot live without a ruler for a day. Write the imperial edict together."

"What? You want to pass this position to me? Also, none of my brothers look good. Besides me, who else is competent?"

"Father, don't worry, my son will definitely manage Daxia well and won't let you down."

"Bang~" Although he had guessed it in his heart, Eunuch Li shuddered when he heard it, and the inkstone in his hand fell directly without holding it firmly.

Shangguanpu turned around and said, "Father Li, you are too old to hold an inkstone."

"By the way, you seem to have grown up with my father, right? You say, is he also old and should abdicate to become a virtuous person?"

"Yes, yes, His Royal Highness King Jing is right." Eunuch Deng walked in with the jade seal in his hands and echoed.

Shangguan Pu laughed loudly: "Eunuch Deng can still speak, then you can write these two imperial decrees."

Eunuch Deng regretted it badly in his heart. He was just a mortal enemy. Let him die. Why should he talk so much?

But it's useless to regret any more, so I can only start drafting the edict according to Shangguanpu's request.

There were two imperial decrees in total, one to condemn the crime and one to pass the throne. By the time they were finished, Eunuch Deng's back was already wet with cold sweat.

He had drafted so many edicts for the emperor, and it was the first time that he found it so difficult to write stroke by stroke.

Shangguanpu brought it over to check it out, nodded with satisfaction, and reached out his hand: "Bring the jade seal here."

Eunuch Li handed the jade seal over with shaking hands.

The emperor's pupils dilated rapidly, and his body shook violently.

"Father, don't worry, it'll be fine soon." He picked up the jade seal and was about to cover it on the imperial decree. Thinking of something, he paused and looked at the emperor with a smile: "Oh, you want to come in person? Of course my son will satisfy you. ."

After all, he grabbed the emperor's stiff hand, put the jade seal in, and took the jade seal with his hand to cover the imperial decree that condemned the crime.

Just as he was about to change another way, the little eunuch's greeting came from outside the door: "The servant greets the empress dowager."

"Exemption."

Shangguanpu frowned and glanced at Deng and Li's father-in-law. The two understood and hurriedly put away their things.

When Empress Dowager Wei entered the inner hall, she saw Shangguanpu sitting beside the dragon bed and rubbing the emperor's hands.

Eunuch Deng and Eunuch Li looked at each other and were about to kneel down to salute her, but Empress Dowager Wei waved her hand to stop it.

Shangguanpu pressed one hand on the emperor, and was about to switch to the other, as if he noticed something turning around.

"Grandmother." He hurriedly stood up.

Empress Dowager Wei stepped forward and glanced at the emperor with his eyes closed on the dragon bed, and asked, "What are you doing?"

Shangguanpu: "The imperial doctor said that the emperor could not move his body after a stroke, so he needs to press and move his limbs like this from time to time."

The Queen Mother nodded: "It's fine to let the palace staff do this kind of thing, why do you need to come in person."

Shangguanpu lowered his eyes: "The grandson wants to do something for the emperor."

Eunuch Deng followed suit and said, "His Royal Highness King Jing is worried about His Majesty's body and will come to take care of him every day."

Empress Dowager Wei looked at Shangguanpu lovingly: "You are filial."

"This is what the grandson should do." Shangguanpu said humbly. Seeing that the Queen Mother Wei sat down beside the dragon bed and didn't want to leave, he asked unintentionally, "Is the grandmother coming so late so worried about my father?"

Empress Dowager Wei sighed and reached out to tuck the quilt for the emperor: "Aijia has always dreamed of the late emperor these past two days."

Shangguanpu frowned, how could he be so familiar with this beginning?

"He was standing in front of a Buddha statue and scolded Aijia for not taking good care of the emperor." Empress Wei looked tired and continued: "Aijia thought about it carefully, why did the late emperor stand in front of the Buddha statue? Could it be? What are you guiding Aijia?"

Shangguanpu: "What does the imperial grandmother mean?"

Both Deng Li's father-in-law raised the hearts of both.

Empress Dowager Wei withdrew her hand and looked at Shangguanpu: "The emperor's stroke is inexplicable, and the imperial doctor has not cured him for so many days. It is better to let Lingyin Temple hold a blessing ceremony and take the emperor there to listen to the host. Try chanting."

"Grandma, those things..."

"Big brother should also believe in Buddhism, right? After all, your mother and concubine let the women in the entire harem copy the scriptures."

Shangguanpu's eyes darkened: "Has the imperial grandmother set a date?"

Empress Dowager Wei nodded: "I have sent a letter to the host of Lingyin Temple, and he replied that three days will be a good day."

After a pause, she added: "I think the news has already spread."

To pray for the emperor, and the time is so urgent, Lingyin Temple must first empty the temple, and notify that it will not entertain pilgrims for the next few days. In order not to offend people, the emperor must be moved out.

The fist under Shangguanpu's sleeve clenched secretly: "Then do it according to the wishes of the emperor's grandmother. I hope the blessing ceremony can really make the father and emperor recover."

The Empress Dowager Wei nodded and stood up: "It's not too early, it's not suitable for you to stay in the palace at night, it's a bit gossip, you better leave the palace early."

"Yes."

The Queen Mother looked at him and didn't move.

Shangguanpu:  …

"I'm going out with the royal grandmother."

Empress Dowager Wei nodded, turned and walked out. Shangguanpu followed slowly, and when he brushed shoulders with Deng and Li's father-in-law, he glanced at them calmly, implying obvious meaning.

The two hurriedly knelt down: "Respectfully send the Queen Mother, His Royal Highness King Jing."

The door to the hall opened and closed, and the two sighed in relief, sitting on the ground together.

"Eunuch Li, what can we do now?" Shangguanpu just now meant that they wanted to continue what they had not done.

Eunuch Li let out a long breath: "If you ask our family, how does our family know."

Deng Gonggong rolled his eyes at him: "Just now our family shouldn't have saved you."

Eunuch Li opened his mouth and wanted to go back.

The person beside him suddenly fell to one side, and he was startled, subconsciously wanting to call someone, and he lost consciousness with a heavy eyelid before he could say anything.

At the same time, the dark guards hiding on the beams also fainted one by one.

The next moment, the two men in black landed on the dragon's bed.

...

After about an incense stick, the dark guards woke up one after another and hurriedly flew down.

"What... what's going on?" Eunuch Li woke up leisurely and was startled when he saw so many people suddenly appear in the hall.

Don't these people usually just stay on the beam?

The captain of the dark guard ignored him, turned and walked towards the dragon bed.

On the dragon bed, the emperor was still lying there.

The head of the dark guard breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand, and took the person back to his position.

He didn't notice Eunuch Li's ghostly eyes.

Eunuch Li rubbed his eyes, stepped forward in disbelief, took out the handkerchief and wiped it carefully on the emperor's face.

No, really gone?

The Queen Mother Wei was too sudden. They could only hurriedly put a layer of powder on the emperor's face to cover up the slap print. If you look closely, you can still see it.

But it's completely gone now.

Eunuch Deng, who woke up in the back, came over strangely, also with a shocked expression on his face.

If it weren't for the two imperial edicts still in his arms, he would have thought that everything that had just happened was a dream.

But the person lying on the dragon bed was clearly His Majesty's face! Even the blood stains that King Jing wiped on his clothes were still there.

The two looked at each other and silently lowered the curtain...

Under the dark night, a shadow passed silently above the palace under the cover of the rain.

After a while, the shadow flew out of the palace, flying over the eaves and walls, and arrived at Liuer Street very quickly, landing in the backyard of the Song family.

Shen Yijia was dozing off in Song Jingchen's arms, her head a little bit, when she heard the movement, she raised her head agitatedly, her eyes lit up: "Youyi, are you back?"

Song Jingchen glanced at You, his eyes darkened.

Yuichi:  …
