Chapter 326: Regent

After the queen mother was detained, the palace members of Anci Palace were sent to the Shenxing Division. Only after confirming that they were not involved could they be deployed to other places as errands. Some problems were naturally punished. Mo Yunshen returned to the palace without knowing it, and in Shen Xingsi's record, it would only be the corpse thrown in the mass grave.
Mo Yun was dressed in black and turned into a shadow three with a very low sense of existence. Xu Zifan went to her yard to find her, "Do you like your new residence?"
Mo Yun looked at the beautiful courtyard and nodded, "It's very good here, but...it's not much like the house of the dark guard, it's too conspicuous. Master, the subordinate's task has been completed, and you can continue with the new task."
"New mission?" Xu Zifan looked at her and thought for a while, "Why don't you take over all my forces and all the industries under my name."
Mo Yun said in surprise: "How can this work?"
"What's wrong? If I leave Beijing any day, you will take care of everything for me. I believe you."
"Master has something to leave Beijing?"
"Perhaps, there are some changes in the border, which is a good opportunity." Xu Zifan recalled the memory of the original owner, and it has not been a few months since the war began.
Mo Yun frowned and hesitated and said: "The gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall. The master has the chance to win, why should he risk going to the battlefield? If the master must go, Dean stays and his subordinates follow the master."
Xu Zifan gave a chuckle, reached out and removed the petals falling on her hair, watching her lower her head uncomfortably, retracted her hand and smiled and said, "De'an is going to the battlefield with me to earn military merit. What are you going to do? Don't worry. , I can come back well if I dare to go. If you control the situation in Beijing, I will have no worries."
Mo Yun was disturbed by his actions. He didn't know if his actions had that meaning. His face was tense, "Yes, the subordinates must do it."
Xu Zifan was also a little helpless with such strict superiors and subordinates in ancient times. As soon as he released some good feelings, Mo Yun was at a loss. He felt that Mo Yun must have wanted to go wrong, thinking he wanted to accept her as a general room. In ancient times, a man with a certain identity had several concubine rooms, and a special existence like the dark guard could not be a concubine room on the bright side. Naturally, he could only be a nameless room.
It's not that others have done this, and they don't even need to take female guards when they go out. But there are very few people who have the ability to raise dark guards, and he doesn't mean it at all. This is too insulting to Mo Yun. In order to prevent Mo Yun from thinking about it, he decided to take his time. Anyway, to take over his power, he can only be with him every day. The so-called long-term love, he has rarely had a good impression on a woman in decades, so he must take the initiative.
When a minister came to ask for a meeting, Mo Yun wanted to avoid it. Although few people could remember Mo Yun's appearance except for some palace members in the palace, it was not convenient for her to show up just after something happened in the palace. Xu Zifan had an idea and laughed and said, "You can protect me in the dark instead of Anyi. I will ask Anyi to do something."
Mo Yun didn't doubt that he was there, and immediately hid underneath, following Xu Zifan silently. The palace welcomed seven ministers, all of Xu Zifan's faction, to inquire about Xu Zifan's future plans. Xu Zifan only told them to stabilize and suppress all the troubles. After a while, it would be natural and it was a reassurance for them.
Xu Zifan sent someone to keep an eye on those who are prone to change, and the palace is also doing the aftermath. Qihong beside Furong "accidentally" fell into the lake and left the palace under the arrangement of Xiao Shunzi. When Furong arranged various palace affairs to find Qihong, Qihong was already "dead". Furong is not a stupid person. She was surprised that she was a for others, and Qi Hong was not hers at all!
From the moment she entered the palace, Qi Hong was assigned to serve her. She has been working hard for her, and she has not abandoned her even when she is caught in the fire of the Fu family. She has also helped her deal with the queen mother and the queen. Only this time the wine cup is even the emperor. Also hurt together. Furong thought about it a little bit, the ultimate beneficiary can only be the regent!
After the praying mantis catches the oriole, she thinks she is the oriole, but it turns out that the regent is the oriole. He kept watching them fighting back and forth, pushing a hand when they were fighting hardest, and taking advantage of them. She was fighting the three-acre land in the harem, and the regent wanted the world. She knew that even if she tried her best, she would not be able to fight the regent. She was not that capable.
The emperor’s body was abolished, and Furong didn’t think it was useful to tell the emperor the truth, and she didn’t have any evidence yet. No one would believe her even if she told these speculations. After all, only a few of them knew about the conflict between them. At most, only a few of them will believe it. She went to the darkroom to interrogate the Queen Mother alone with a glimmer of hope. The Queen Mother was embarrassed, but she refused to admit it when she faced the interrogation. She insisted on seeing the emperor. When she discovered that she could not see the emperor, she simply yelled and said all this. It was Xu Zifan who did it, and Mo Yun planted it.
Furong stepped forward and pinched the Queen Mother’s neck, and said in her ear: "I know what the Regent did, and I also know that you are responsible for the poison. I only ask you if you have an antidote! If the emperor doesn’t get well, Whatever you make is wasted!"
The queen mother struggled to push her away, and coughed for a long time before whispering: "The emperor is still the emperor, and there are ministers in the court who are loyal to the emperor. You let me see the emperor. As long as you bring down Xu Zifan, I will come out and rescue him."
Furong stared at her closely, "I don't believe this! You swear a poisonous oath, if you don't have an antidote, you won't be able to die, and devote yourself to the animal life forever!"
The queen mother seemed to be choked all at once, speechless for a while, her face flushed. Such a vicious oath, even if she did not believe in Buddha, she would not dare to send it. Furong's heart sank, and she also felt that the emperor's body had no cure, but she knew that the queen mother really had no cure, and she had lost even the last hope.
Seeing that she was leaving, the queen mother said hurriedly: "Furong, this is the end of the matter. You must listen to me. We bring down Xu Zifan and adopt a clan child, and this world is still ours. I promise that we will take that child away. Tong Guoji will give you the opportunity to be the queen mother and enjoy the glory and wealth. Isn't that what you want? Being a queen mother is much safer than your current imperial concubine. You don't have to worry about falling out of favor anymore. Think carefully."
Furong sneered at her words, shut her back and went back to her palace. She is unreliable and diametrically opposed to the Queen Mother. If the Queen Mother is alive, she will be blessed? Besides, how can Xu Zifan get down so easily? She never did anything unsure. She had already smashed her head on top of the wine glass, and this somersault also told her that she was no different from hitting a rock with an egg against Xu Zifan. A few of them are Xu Zifan's Chinese food. They can do it whenever they want. Xu Zifan may just want a good reputation if he didn't directly force the palace.
Furong thought about it all night, she couldn't sit still. She has seen a useless person like the emperor. After a long time and hope is gone, this kind of person will only become more irritable, suspicious, and unreasonable. When she follows the emperor, he will become the object of his vent. In the days to come, all that is waiting for her is endless beatings, scolding, and torture. It would be better to return to Zuixianglou!
Furong thought that Qihong had changed her wine glass, and didn't mean to deal with her. She also thought that the medicine given by the queen mother was fatal, but the emperor and empress did not die. Obviously their medicine was changed too. There must be a purpose in this. A bold decision.
A few days later, Xiao Shunzi reported to Xu Zifan that Furong seemed to be looking for a chance to be alone with Xu Zifan, but Xu Zifan left after seeing the emperor every day. She did not find a chance and was vaguely irritated. On the side of Furong and the emperor, Xu Zifan asked Xiao Shunzi to stare at them, in case they had any changes. Knowing about Furong's situation, Xu Zifan deliberately went to the imperial garden, and it didn't take long for Furong to appear.
The two were talking in the pavilion, and the palace people stood far away, only Mo Yun was hiding in the dark as Xu Zifan's guard. Furong tried a few words around the bend, approaching Xu Zifan, there was a trace of ambiguity between her words, and said with a smile: "My concubine has heard about the deeds of the Regent for a long time, and I have long admired it. Today is the first time I have the opportunity to sit and chat with the Regent. Nowadays, such an event has occurred in the palace. All the court and harem have to rely on the regent. Presumably the regent is very busy every day. The concubine knows some ways to relieve fatigue. When the regent is exhausted, let the concubine be the regent to relieve the fatigue, or If the regent has anything to do with his concubine, the concubine must do everything he can."
Hidden in the dark, Mo Yun looked at Furong, who was extremely beautiful, versatile, and intelligent. After seeing the situation, he surrendered to the prince, and even wanted to enter the prince’s backyard and do things for the prince, using his own two ways. The value is displayed, and it is a good move. The prince didn't answer, was he thinking about accepting her? I heard that many men in Beijing like Furong. Seeing Furong leaning in Xu Zifan's direction again, she frowned unhappily and looked at Xu Zifan for his answer.
Xu Zifan was keenly aware that someone was staring at him. He kept asking Shaohua to monitor the surroundings for fear that someone would come over and hear something. Only Mo Yun was staring at him. He walked two steps aside, stood by the pavilion, and said indifferently: "Thank you for your concern. The minister still has government affairs to deal with. If there is nothing wrong with the emperor, the minister will retire first."
He knows that Furong is very smart, but he doesn't like her deceiving the emperor's feelings for the sake of prosperity and wealth, and to show him good for her life. Such a person thinks she can live well, but he doesn't need such wives and subordinates. .
Seeing that he was unmoved, Furong took the glamour and took a step back and said, "My lord, what I ask for is nothing but life. If the lord has any instructions, I will try my best to do it, so I can keep me when the dust settles. I left the capital with my life. I will not disclose a word of the secrets in this palace. Even if I say it, no one will believe it, and no one can shake the status of the prince. Now the emperor believes in me deeply, and I help the prince It’s good to do things cheaper, Lord, what do you think?"
Xu Zifan squinted his eyes, wondering what Lotus can play, and suddenly thought of an idea, so he nodded, "The emperor’s palace is not conducive to healing. This king chooses another palace for him. You persuade him to move over and serve him personally. Ask the imperial physician to diagnose the pulse for the emperor three times a day, morning, afternoon and evening, and you must not neglect the emperor."
Furong's heart jumped. She thought Xu Zifan would let her get a Zen edict and make her ascension to the throne more smoothly. In the end, she made her poke the emperor's heart? Isn't such excessive concern just telling the emperor that he is a useless person? She stunned: "The emperor is now in the Zen throne, and the prince is crowned as a great treasure, and then he seeks a genius doctor to treat the emperor, and he has an excellent reputation."
Xu Zifan waved his hand, "You don't need to guess too much, just do as the king said."
Furong hurriedly lowered her head, "Yes, Lord, I will do this well, and I will never reveal the slightest thing about the Lord."
Xu Zifan sent her back to take care of the emperor, found a palace with a secret room in the sleeping hall, and asked people to clean up and arrange it. He waved back the crowd and called Mo Yun to test it. Normal speaking in the secret room is not heard outside. It takes a loud noise to hear something abnormal, but the outside sound can be heard clearly inside, even softly. Humming can be heard. This was the idea he had just thought of. No matter how ruthless people are, there is a soft side in their hearts. It only depends on the environment and position.
Mo Yun looked at the location of the secret room, there was only one wall separated from the bed, and said clearly: "The master wants to lock the queen mother here?"
Xu Zifan smiled slightly, "Yes, this time is different. Fu Yuhua heard how painful her son was poisoned by her ears, and maybe she can find her conscience. Let's go, Xiao Shunzi will send her in later. "
Mo Yun thought, "Master, why don't you let me stimulate her in the secret room?"
Xu Zifan waved his hand, "No, they don't need to worry about it as they are now. You are wasting your time by staying here. Besides, you have more important things to do. Let's go."
More important thing? Isn't that just about protecting him and taking over him? Mo Yun replied and followed Xu Zifan when he went out. He looked at Xu Zifan's back and curled his mouth unconsciously.
Xu Zifan left the palace directly and did not meet with the Queen Mother. At this time, the meeting would only be noisy. If this method can make her feel the pain of the heart, he will save much trouble. As for the Zen edict implied by Furong, he never needed it. If he wanted to force the palace to usurp the throne, he would have done it early with his power, but he really lived in this world, and he didn't want to provoke a war between the two sides because of his mission, causing countless casualties.
It is never empty talk to succeed in a great success, and it is not so easy to talk about usurping the throne. He spent more than half a year trapping the Queen Mother and her son in the game, expanding his influence, and gradually destroying the image of their mother and son in the hearts of the officials, not for his own good reputation. It was to let more ministers and forces be disappointed with the emperor, leaning toward him, so that he could win without fighting, and minimize the loss of changing dynasties. Since taking a detour can reduce so many casualties, why should it be so tragic? It only took him half a year to make this turn.
Now that the fire is almost there, he doesn't need the emperor's Zen throne at all. When it's time for him to ascend the throne, even if he usurped the throne, no one will object.
Sure enough, Furong told the emperor to move to the new palace, but the queen mother was gagged by Xiao Shunzi and tied to the pillar in the secret room. Furong worked tirelessly to serve the emperor in person, and asked the imperial physician to see the emperor three times daily, morning, afternoon and evening. The result was naturally no improvement. At first, the emperor was moved by her actions. After a few days, he could not bear this excessive care. , The words of those imperial doctors seemed to tell him over and over again that they were hopeless!
The emperor became irritable and irritable. When others looked at him, he felt that he was sympathizing and pitying him. If he moved slowly, he felt that he was neglecting him. Therefore, there were countless meals and soups that were knocked over, and there were countless people in the palace. , So scared that all the palace staff were silent, everyone was afraid to enter the inner hall to serve.
The queen mother heard the emperor lose his temper day and night, and at first she felt relieved. The rebellious son shut her into the dark room and tortured her so hard, didn't he have a good life? If he refuses to listen to her, he will be usurped by Xu Zifan sooner or later!
But half a month later, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. After all, it was the child she gave birth to in October. She spent a lot of effort to raise her for more than ten years. When she was full of hatred for profit, she could order him to be poisoned, but now the same In the miserable situation, listening to her son's pain, she felt heartache. Their mother and son were only provoked by Xu Zifan. They used to be filial to the mother and son. Without Xu Zifan, the emperor would be very filial to her!
The queen mother was in a dark room and couldn't see a person and couldn't say a word. She was suffocated long ago, her hatred and anger became weaker, her desire for freedom became stronger and stronger, and her thoughts gradually changed. Especially after guessing what Xu Zifan did, and thinking about the battles between her and the emperor and the Fu family, the more I thought about it, the more heartbreaking it became.
They were supposed to be a family and one, because of Xu Zifan, they killed each other, and now they are almost wiped out. Only the emperor is still on the throne, but the emperor can’t understand Xu Zifan’s true face, and he asks Xu Zifan to review the memorial daily. She was so anxious to die in the secret room, and she started to feel sorry for the emperor who was in the dark. He hasn't grown up yet, and he is the son she has been protecting!
This day she heard the emperor lose his temper again because the imperial physician took a little longer to check his pulse. The emperor furiously said, "What do you mean by this frustrated face? When I didn't save my mother? A bunch of quacks! Trash! Get out of me. !roll!"
The emperor dared not say a word, and hurriedly bent over and bowed their heads and walked out, but their faces were extremely ugly. They had tried their best to heal the emperor, but the emperor insulted them every day, not treating them as human beings. They dare not have the slightest idea of ​​resistance, but they are all wondering how to escape from such a day. With the emperor's increasingly violent character, they might die someday.
Standing at a distance from the emperor's bed, Furong whispered comforting: "The emperor, don't be angry. They must be inadequate in medicine and always say that you are not saved. The emperor true dragon is blessed by God, and the concubine believes you will Get better."
The emperor said angrily: "True dragon emperor? If I really were the true dragon emperor, how could I end up like this?"
Furong exclaimed in surprise, "The emperor, how can you say that? What if it is heard and spread out? Outsiders will definitely say that the emperor's throne is wrong and he has been punished by God."
The emperor frowned, feeling that these words were particularly harsh, "What are you talking nonsense!"
"Yes, the concubine said something wrong. Your majesty, go to bed for a while. Now you are in low spirits. If you don't rest well, your health will be worse. You have to wait for the regent to find a genius doctor."
"What do you mean? You said I would die if I didn't wait for the genius doctor?"
"No, why would a concubine think so? But the emperor, there is a saying among the people, "The king called you to die for the third watch, and will never leave you to the fifth watch." It means that this person has a fixed life and death. At that time, no matter how hard you struggle, you can't hide..."
"Furong! You presumptuous!" The emperor's eyes widened suddenly, unable to believe that Furong would curse him to death.
Furong "stunned" for a moment and waved her hand hurriedly, "The emperor, you misunderstood. I didn't mean that. I want you to calm down. As long as God doesn't let you die, the genius doctor will definitely appear to save you in time."
The emperor stared at her suspiciously, thinking that the two of them had always been very affectionate, and Furong was definitely not intentional, so she didn't rush people. But he was in a bad mood. Although Furong didn't have any malice, that sentence was directly on his heart. Xu Zifan helped him his throne, and he also defended him for six years. Isn't it wrong? Perhaps he is not the emperor of the true dragon at all, so God only punished him to become what he is today. After searching for so long, he couldn't find a genius doctor, and the queen mother had no cure. Maybe his life was exhausted.
The emperor closed his eyes but did not dare to sleep. Every time he fell asleep he didn't know if he could wake up. The feeling of having to lie down and wait to die was too painful.
The queen mother gritted her teeth in the secret room and kept struggling. Furong's pretentious means were left over from her play. Furong was deliberately stimulating the emperor! She wanted to shout loudly to remind the emperor, but with a cloth tied to her mouth, she could only make a sound of "uuuuu", which was not heard outside. Knowing that this palace with secret rooms would be used to lock her up, she should have demolished the palace in the first place!
The emperor closed his eyes and rested his mind, while Furong was still talking in the words, Xiao Shunzi waved his hand and ordered the other palace men to retreat, turning the mechanism into the secret room. It seemed as if Furong hadn't seen her, she was not curious and didn't ask too much, just doing what Xu Zifan told her to do. She just wanted to leave alive after the fact and didn't want to know more secrets. At this time, she just had to use her best to stimulate the emperor and make him worry.
The queen mother saw that Xiao Shunzi was struggling harder. As the emperor's confidant, this dog slave was actually Xu Zifan's person. The queen mother looked at him with hatred. Xiao Shunzi smiled, took out a bigudan, untied the cloth strip from the queen mother’s mouth and stuffed the bigudan into her mouth, closed her mouth and forced her to swallow it, and then neatly tied the cloth label back. , Did not give her a chance to speak.
Xiao Shunzi clapped his hands and laughed softly: "Empress mother, are you worried about the emperor? Don't worry, the emperor has been poisoned by you, and you have abdominal pain for half an hour every day. The time is almost here, and you can hear it right away. The voice of the emperor. The empress dowager’s motherly heart, listening to the emperor’s voice will also help you understand the pain of missing your son, isn’t it?"
As soon as his words fell, the emperor screamed, "Stomach, my stomach hurts! Call a doctor!"
The queen mother stared at Xiao Shunzi with wide-eyed eyes, um, never finished. Xiao Shunzi sighed, "It's so pitiful, I'm less than sixteen years old. I just got married and didn't even give birth to a child. My whole life is ruined, and I have to suffer from abdominal pain every day. All this... You killed the queen mother, you said, when you were pregnant, gave birth to the emperor, and raised him so much, did you never really love him? Why did you make him like this?"
Xiao Shunzi shook her head and left. The queen mother watched him leave the secret room, but she was so tightly bound that she couldn't move, and her heart was ashamed. Xiao Shunzi didn’t know what to give her. She didn’t need to eat or drink when she gave her one pill every seven days. She didn’t even need to be grateful, so she was always tied to the pillar, her hands and feet were unconscious, and she had little chance to escape the call for help. None, she was really desperate.
The screams of the emperor outside kept hitting her ears, she wanted to cover her ears, she didn't want to listen! This was all her harm, it was her poison, that was her biological son, the flesh and blood of her tenth month of pregnancy, and that scream struck her like a knife, cutting her all over her body, she really wanted to Cover her ears, she really can't stand it anymore!
The queen mother burst into tears, and the outside doctor hurried to her, but there was nothing she could do. Naturally, she was scolded by the emperor again and asked someone to pull them out and beat them to death. Xiao Shunzi followed out, and let the imperial doctor go directly, saying that it was the regent's account. The imperial doctors left gratefully, and they all turned to the regent's side. If the regent hadn't saved them, they would have died.
Xiao Shunzi shook down the whisk and stood at the door looking at the sky, intending to wait for the inside to stop calling before going in. He didn't know what the pill Xu Zifan gave him was. It was so magical that the queen mother could not die for several days without eating or drinking. But this trick is truly inexhaustible. The vicious person of the Queen Mother is really heartbroken. If she wants to come, the mother and son will soon be unable to hold it.
A few days later, when the Queen Mother woke up, she was suddenly lethargic, she didn't have any strength at all, as if she had suddenly become a dead old man, feeling that her whole body was nothing like her own. She lowered her head inadvertently, and was shocked to find that all the hair she was hanging down was gray! She struggled incredibly, but she didn't even have the strength to struggle. This feeling was too familiar, just like the feeling of powerlessness when she often fainted, even ten times worse than that. She panicked, and there was no other way. This feeling of dying gradually made her even more desperate. She had no strength to hate, and she was filled with only the fear of death.
The emperor screamed with abdominal pain again, and kept cursing the queen mother. The queen mother was both painful and chilling in the secret room, and then heard Xu Zifan's voice. He actually found the genius doctor to treat the emperor! The queen mother cheered up and her eyes were full of surprises. The genius doctor can cure her once, and he will surely heal her a second time. Even after hearing the genius doctor say that the emperor’s body has been abolished, there is no way to heal her. Half a year.
There was a moment of silence outside and the emperor's angry cursing sounded, "Aren't you a genius doctor? You can treat that poisonous woman like that. Why can't I? I order you to heal me, otherwise I will punish you!"
The genius doctor said coldly: "The emperor, the Cao Min did not heal the queen mother, but only used tiger and wolf medicine to stimulate all the vitality of the queen mother, which is equivalent to reducing life. When these vitalities are exhausted, the queen mother will age rapidly and fall completely ill. I said to the Queen Mother that the treatment method would have serious consequences. The Queen Mother didn’t listen to the Caomin’s words and decided to heal, saying that no matter what the consequences are, she should heal her body and return to the palace. Based on the Queen Mother’s body, it is speculated that the Queen Mother should have exhausted her vitality now. You are aging. But the emperor, your internal organs are all dilapidated. Using this method will only kill you immediately, and forgive the grassroots for no cure.
The emperor was shocked by the truth about his treatment of the queen dowager, and then learned that he could not even use this method, leaving only despair. He began to curse the Queen Mother, and at the end he couldn't help crying, "Why are you treating me like this? Am I really your son!"
When the queen mother knew the truth and heard her son's words, she finally broke down!
