"That's right, this is the duty of a courtier. Once you forget your own duty, and you actually regard yourself as the master, and think that you have his share in the Great Zhou Dynasty, it's a big mistake." Zhong Zhiheng said lightly. , tapped the dragon case lightly with his fingers. "Zhao Changrong is an extremely human minister. It is inappropriate to rely solely on the Ministry of Criminal Justice for trial, and Zou Shijie has just taken office. In such a big case, I still have to be watched by someone, so I can rest assured. I wonder if the left minister can relieve my worries. ?”
"My minister is willing to be driven by Long Live." At the moment. Fang Zhonglian stood up in a hurry, and bowed deeply to Zhong Zhiheng.
"Since that's the case, then I can rest assured." Zhong Zhiheng nodded.
He handed Zhao Changrong over to Zou Shijie for trial. Naturally, there is the intention of letting the Zhao family cut the weeds and wipe out the roots. Prince Rong and Prince Hui have been fighting openly and secretly for so many years. Zhao's family and Zou's family were even more distasteful, but Fang Zhonglian stared at them again. He was also afraid that Zou Shijie would make a fuss about Prince Rong and the fourth prince Zhong Mingrong. He wanted to bring down the Zhao family. But his prince can't be moved by anyone.
"Long live...Long live!" Zhao Ruhai hurried in with the curtain, walked up to Zhong Zhiheng, and bowed. "Long live, the queen mother is not well, you should go and have a look."
The queen mother has been groggy since she passed out from spurting blood on New Year's Eve. When she woke up occasionally, she didn't say a word, couldn't eat anything, and fell asleep again after a while. After passing through the palace, he stayed in the Compassionate Ning Palace all the time.
"What?" Zhong Zhiheng suddenly sat up from the chair, he supported the dragon case with both hands, his face couldn't conceal the shock, "Queen Mother... what's wrong with her?"
"I want to report to the Lord Long Live, the Queen Mother is talking nonsense, and the Chief Qin is at a loss what to do, saying yes..." At this point, Zhao Ruhai did not dare to continue, and immediately fell to his knees with a "plop", "Long Live Lord, you should go Take a look at the Compassion Palace."
Fang Zhonglian also looked nervous, bowed to Zhong Zhiheng and said, "Long live, please."
At that moment, Zhong Zhiheng didn't delay anymore, he walked out from behind the dragon case, and left the imperial study with big strides, Zhao Ruhai got up from the ground in a hurry, took his cloak and followed out.
…
Compassionate Palace.
When Zhong Zhiheng came, Qin Lv was already sweating all over his face. At this time, he was exhausted watching the servant girl feed the soup and medicine to the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother couldn't drink it anyway.
"No...don't drink, don't drink," the Queen Mother shook her head, pushed away the medicine bowl handed to her, squinted her dim eyes and looked at the red painted beams, and said vaguely, "Here... The time has come... ”
"Queen Mother, don't think too much, drink the decoction quickly, your body is strong!" Qin Lu took the medicine bowl from the maid in a hurry, and ordered the maid to go outside to check the decoction. Kneeling in front of the Empress Dowager's bed, he scooped up another spoonful of decoction and handed it to the Empress Dowager, "Empress Dowager, you will live a long life."
"It's useless..." The queen mother waved her hand, looking at Qin Lu's wrinkled face, the queen mother took a deep breath, and then exhaled long, "Qin Lu, these years... it's your mourning... Family, loyal, loyal... It's hard for you..."
"This is what a humble official should do," Qin Lu took a deep breath, put the medicine bowl on the bedside table, then took a handkerchief to wipe the saliva from the corners of the Queen Mother's mouth, and leaned over, He whispered, "Wei Chen is indeed loyal to the Empress Dowager, but to Long Live Lord, I am also loyal."
"You... what do you mean?" The dim eyes suddenly opened wide, staring at Qin Lu, the Queen Mother's lips trembled violently, "You... what do you want to say to the Ai family?"
