The queen mother raised her eyes slightly, and when she saw the eunuch squinting at Xu Feng, she understood. He coughed twice and cleared his throat.
"Xu Feng, I have some urgent matters here, you step back first. If there is something else, I will announce you to come up."
Xu Feng arched his body and said respectfully: "Okay, the villain will leave!"
Xu Feng exited the bedroom.
The Empress Dowager asked the eunuch sternly, "Tell me quickly, what happened?"
The eunuch knelt and crawled in front of the queen mother, with a troubled expression on his face: "Queen mother, it's not good!" The eunuch lowered his voice as much as possible, "The people outside who are going to meet us have been..." The eunuch couldn't continue because of his grief.
The queen mother shook the bowl in her hand: "What's wrong?"
The queen mother decided to go to the imperial garden today as an excuse to escape from the palace with makeup. Outside the palace, her relatives sent troops to meet her. After the relatives took the queen mother away, they could issue an edict in the name of the queen mother to attract those who are loyal to the queen mother to come to the capital together and drive Li Hai from the throne.
But now her plan seems to have been hindered.
The eunuch choked with sobs and said, "I went out later today, and when I arrived at Xiangyangfang, I found that it was already surrounded by the imperial army. I poked my head out of the crowd, and there was a pile of dead bodies in Xiangyangfang. It looked like it should be ours. People, blood is flowing all over the ground, it's too horrible to look at!"
The bowl containing Suhexiang wine fell on the hard ground and shattered with a bang, the aroma of the wine filled the entire bedroom. The Queen Mother's lips were trembling, and the hand that was still holding the bowl was also trembling.
"How did this happen? Our actions are very secretive, how could we leak the wind?"
The eunuch said something more serious: "There is more! Now there are many imperial guards outside Fengzao Palace, and Lin Hai is in charge of guarding them. It is impossible for us to leave Fengzao Palace even half a step!"
The tide is gone! Even if the foreign relatives' feudal town is now approaching the city, it is impossible for her to get out alive. Who saw through what she thought was a seamless plan
"I always thought that I was the smartest and most experienced person in the palace, but I didn't expect that someone would take the lead!"
The Empress Dowager completely lost her vigor, and when she said "the most intelligent and old way", she thought of a person who could see through her planner in the palace, except for that person!
"It must be her! It must be her!" The empress dowager's eyes were full of regret, "I misread her! I thought of her too well! I should have been on guard against her all the time. I paid the price for my negligence. !"
The eunuch stood up and supported the queen mother, frowning: "Queen mother, I don't know who you are talking about?"
The empress dowager's old and swollen face was full of resentment: "Except for Rong Chang'an, who else has such scheming ability! She showed me so many times that I thought she really wanted to turn my enemy into a friend, but I didn't expect it , but she is plotting against me!"
What the eunuch is worried about now is not who sees through the Queen Mother's conspiracy, but what to do next when things are revealed.
"My queen, what should we do next?"
The Queen Mother felt dizzy: "Aside from waiting for the feudal town to kill, what else can we do? Even if Li Hai is overthrown, we will die before him! Sigh..."
The eunuch froze in place. The queen mother is old, and there is nothing wrong with dying, but he is only in his early thirties, how can he follow the queen mother to die! He originally thought that when the queen mother became the empress, he would be the chief eunuch or something, but now it seems that it has been nothing.
boom!
Suddenly, the Empress Dowager slapped the table for some reason, her eyes widened, her gaze was full of horror, and the Empress Dowager's entire body was trembling, as if she had a cold.
"Queen? Queen? What's wrong with you?" the eunuch asked quickly.
The queen mother's face was still dead: "I... I don't know..." The queen mother was vomiting, but she couldn't vomit anything.
"Queen Mother!" The eunuch hurriedly helped her to the collapsed bed and made her lie flat.
The queen mother was very frightened, she stretched out her hand and pointed outside: "Xu Feng... Xu..." After speaking, she was already out of breath.
The eunuch thought that the Queen Mother wanted Xu Feng to come in and prescribe medicine for her, so he agreed: "Okay, Queen Mother, I'll call Xu Feng over!"
The eunuch ran out of the dormitory at a gallop, searched all over the Buddhist hall, corridors, side halls, and small gardens, but there was no sign of Xu Feng.
"Strange, where is Xu Feng? Where did he go? Didn't he just come out of the bedroom?"
Since Xu Feng couldn't be found, the eunuch rushed back to the bedroom. At this time, the queen mother was already dying.
"Queen!" cried the eunuch.
The queen mother still raised one hand and pointed to the outside: "Xu... Xu Feng! Rong Changan... Su Hexiang Medicinal Wine..."
The eunuch couldn't understand the meaning of the Queen Mother's broken words: "Queen Mother, Queen Rong, what happened to Xu Feng?"
Tears rolled from the corners of the Queen Mother's eyes: "The medicine...the medicine contains..."
He didn't take a breath, but with a wow, a big mouthful of blood spewed out from the queen mother's mouth, the hot blood stained the eunuch's body, making the eunuch jump up in fright. Look carefully, the blood is black!
Perhaps he already understood why the Queen Mother said "Rong Chang'an", "Xu Feng", and "Su He Xiangjiu" with her last breath. Since Rong Changan intended to harm the Queen Mother, how could she be so kind to arrange such a doctor with excellent medical skills for the Queen Mother? Obviously Xu Feng is from Rong Changan, so how could she make the Queen Mother recover completely!
But the Queen Mother knew it too late!
"Queen Mother, Queen Mother?" the eunuch called softly to the dead Queen Mother. He thought that the Queen Mother had just fainted. When he put his finger in front of the Queen Mother's nose, he withdrew it with a swish. His eyes widened, his mouth was wide open, "Is...the queen mother dead?"
After being stunned for a while, the eunuch realized that the queen mother was really dead, and fell to his knees before the collapse, crying loudly: "The old queen mother has passed away!"
The maids, guards, and imperial guards rushed in after hearing the sound, and saw the queen mother lying stiffly on the bed, vomiting blood all over the floor; her eyes were wide open, her mouth was open, as if she was dying!
Lin Hai looked at the eunuch and the maidservants kneeling beside him, and suddenly shouted sharply: "The queen mother is in good health, how could she die suddenly? It must be you bitches, what did you eat for the queen mother? The medicine that caused the Queen Mother to drive west! Someone is here!"
Lin Hai was the commander of the Imperial Forest Army second only to Li Hai, and when he heard his call, the Imperial Forest Army immediately responded.
"The humble job is here!"
Lin Hai pointed to the eunuch and the others and said, "Take these people into prison and wait for their execution. Keep guard and don't allow anyone to approach them!"
"yes!"
More than a dozen imperial guards captured the eunuch and others like wolves and tigers. The eunuch complained that he was wronged, but Lin Hai felt that this was inappropriate, so he ordered the Yulin Army to silence the eunuch and the others to keep them from speaking.
After the eunuchs were taken away, Lin Hai ordered again: "The rest of the Royal Forest Army will strictly guard the Queen Mother's body. I will go back and report back to the Queen and the Emperor! Except for the Queen and the Emperor, no one is allowed to approach Fengzao Palace!"
