64
After staying in the cold palace for a whole day, I was very weak. In order to look at the moon at night, I blew cold wind again. I fell ill the next day, feeling dizzy and coughing uncontrollably.
The two little maids were a little worried, so I wrote a prescription myself according to the medical book given by Situ, and asked the little maid with no mole on her face to get it, and the little girl with red mole—her name was Honglian—I wrote a prescription. Let Honglian accompany me, Honglian's voice is very nice, so I let her sing to me.
Hong Lian entered the palace at a very young age, she couldn't sing any songs, she could only hum nursery rhymes with simple tunes, and I felt at ease listening to them.
Honglian said that her grandma taught her to sing this song, she missed her grandma very much, I said you can go out of the palace to find grandma when you are old, Honglian said sadly, her grandma is dead, a few months ago At that time, she wanted to ask for leave to go out of the palace, but she couldn't go out because she offended someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and she didn't even see her grandma for the last time.
I comforted her a few words, but I didn't know what to say. In this world, probably everyone has something that is too sad.
Honglian said: "Niang Niang, aren't you sad?"
I said, "Why do you ask that?"
Hong Lian said: "Your Majesty, you didn't even cry."
I thought about it and said, "I'm not very good at this. And crying won't help."
Probably because she was afraid that something might happen to me, Honglian took advantage of my daze and went out for a while, and brought Imperial Physician Bai with her when she came back. The other court lady, Biyun, who went to grab the medicine hadn't come back yet. Doctor Bai took the pulse for me, and said that I had a cold, and I just drank the abortion medicine, and my bones were too weak.
I didn't have any special thoughts. After sending off Doctor Bai, I lay on the bed and waited for Biyun. Biyun came in a short while, carrying a big bowl of black medicine, Honglian smelled the smell of the medicine, she couldn't stand it, covered her nose, and said, "Why does this medicine smell so bad?"
Bi Yun said: "Would it? Why don't I think so?"
I said: "It's a bit smelly, it's okay, you go down and rest first, you haven't closed your eyes after serving me for so long."
The two agreed, and Hong Lian backed away as if flying.
It was probably because Doctor Bai was talking too much, but Lord Wumin actually came after a while. At that time, I was sleeping, my head hurt so much and I couldn't open my eyes. I only had a vague feeling that Lord Wumin was by my side.
He stood beside me for quite a while, and sighed vaguely. The sigh was so weak that I didn't know if it was real or an illusion produced by my own confusion.
When I opened my eyes again, Lord Wumin had already left, and Honglian and Biyun also came, and said to me with mixed feelings of worry and joy: "The emperor just came, let us take good care of you."
I said, "Oh, so is he quite affectionate?"
Honglian whispered: "The emperor said, it's the province's empress. After you die, Dongyuan country will make trouble again. Now Xiyang country has just finished fighting with Nanwen, and the army is weak. The soldiers need to rest. Dongyuan has been cultivating himself for so long. The new emperor has also grown up, so don't take it lightly."
Biyun pushed her and blamed her: "Why are there so many things? I'm not afraid that the wind will flash my tongue!"
Guren stuck out her tongue and said nothing more.
I smiled and said: "According to this, the emperor can't even look down on Dongyuan country? Does it mean that when the military strength of Xiyang country is improved, Dongyuan will be dealt with - then, I will also be dealt with together Lose?"
Biyun hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you should take care of your body first, don't think too much."
I glanced at Honglian meaningfully, and said, "It's not that I think too much, it's that some people say too much."
Hong Lian was taken aback, kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, slave... this slave didn't do it on purpose!"
I said, "I didn't say you did it on purpose."
Hong Lian breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't dare to say anything more. The two of them waited on me for a meal, and then both retreated. After I had a meal, I felt a little better, so I endured the discomfort and walked around , but it is barely feasible, but I feel unstable.
After thinking about it, I still decided to go back to the bed, but my foot slipped and I fell backwards. I thought I would hit the ground on the back of my head, but someone caught me. When I saw it, it was Lord Wumin.
He was followed by the guard, and he himself was wearing casual clothes, helped me upright, and said: "You have to be careful, don't fall to your death without dying from an abortion. At that time, how can I explain to Dong Yuanguo?"
I said, "I'm blessed with great destiny, and I won't die if I fall."
Lord Wumin sneered, and said: "That's true, look how energetic you are, and you still have the strength to talk back."
I said, "What is the emperor doing here?"
Lord Wumin said: "It's nothing, I just heard that you are half dead, so let's take a look."
I lazily sat down on the bed, and said: "Then I would like to thank the emperor, my concubine is very good, it is true that I am half dead, but at least half of them are alive."
Lord Wumin said: "It's only natural that you are physically strong - I also thought that when the time comes for the canonization ceremony, you can come and watch it."
I said: "Your Majesty, haven't you found a problem?"
"what?"
"You keep saying how much you hate me, but you keep coming to me, like a three-year-old child, repeatedly showing off the things between you and Ms. Liu, as if you are not satisfied when I don't see me sad... Such behavior is really irritating. I think it's unusual." I looked at Lord Wumin and said calmly.
Lord Wumin said: "Heh, if you really think that way, I can only say that you think too much. I never meant to show off repeatedly—because what I have explained are all facts."
I waved to Lord Wumin, and said: "Your Majesty, I beg you to come here."
Lord Wumin raised his eyebrows puzzled, and finally got a little closer.
I stretched out my hand and shook it, sniffed it with my nose, and said: "The emperor smells so good, as if he wants to cover something up."
Lord Wumin's expression changed drastically, and he said, "What are you talking about?!"
I caught a glimpse of him wanting to step back, stood up without hesitation, grabbed his neck with both hands, exerted force, and then turned to the right, there was a thud in Mr. Wumin's neck, and then his eyes widened , convulsed, and died.

The face of the guard behind him changed drastically, but instead of coming up to fight, he wanted to run out of the door. I sneered, and shook out two silver needles from my sleeve, and shot them straight at him.
I said earlier that my aim was very good, and the two silver needles pierced his two acupuncture points as if they had eyes, and the guard couldn't move.
The guard said: "You... you actually murdered the emperor!!!"
I smiled, kicked the corpse under my feet, and said, "Murder? Killing a person who has been dead—and who has been dead for ten years, counts as murder? Huh?"
The guard stammered: "You, you must be crazy..."
I patted his face: "The acting is good, but there are too many flaws—if I guess correctly, you are probably..."
I glanced at his face, stretched out my hand and tore off a piece of paper, and the bland appearance of the guard was immediately replaced by Liu Liang, the son of Nanwen Guo Taifu who had come to Xiyang as an envoy earlier.
Seeing that I exposed his scheme, Liu Liang simply stopped acting, and said with a smile: "It's really wonderful, the queen can guess it... I wonder if the queen can tell me, how did you think of it?"
I glanced at the corpse under my feet and said, "Nanwen State has an extremely precious medical skill called 'raising corpses', which means that corpses can be raised as if they were living people, and the corpse raiser can manipulate corpses to make them look like living people." Ordinary actions and speech, but the corpse keeper should not be too far away from the corpse, otherwise it will be difficult to control. Therefore, after I realized that Mr. Wumin is not Wumin Lord, I knew that the keeper of the corpse can only be you since he came back , and followed his guards all the time—Mr. Wumin is suspicious by nature, there are almost no guards around him all the time, and there is one more you out of thin air, how could I not doubt it?"
Liu Liang said: "Oh, I never thought that so many things happened to the Queen, and she can observe such subtleties."
I said, "It's not subtle."
It's just that I lived as Lord Wumin before, and my understanding of him is by no means inferior to my understanding of myself.
"As for this person..." I said, "I'm afraid it's Lord Wumin's elder brother who died ten years ago, right? The tricks that Lord Wumin's brother used to deal with Lord Wumin all came from your master Liu Shan, And the only person who has mastered the art of raising corpses is that Chang Yuji, who is also from the Nanwen Kingdom. If you guess from two sides, you can know that the person who manipulated it is probably you. You can probably draw a conclusion Conclusion - back then Mr. Wumin's elder brother somehow had a relationship with Liu Shan - maybe Liu Shan showed up on his own initiative and taught Wumin's elder brother some torture, and after Wumin's elder brother died, you people from Nanwen Kingdom, Then they secretly took his corpse away to raise the corpse, and this corpse has actually grown up, and it is almost exactly the same as Lord Wumin."
Liu Liang raised his eyebrows in surprise: "The empress is so knowledgeable, she even knows common Chinese."
I said: "That's not true, it's just that someone once wanted to use 'Shan Ji' against me, and I knew a little bit about it then."
Liu Liang said, "Oh."
I continued: "The real Lord Wuming is probably still fighting against your Nanwen country in the border town... Or, he is simply abusing your Nanwen country unilaterally. After all, there is a gap in strength between the two countries, so I won't say much. cough."
Liu Liang's face changed slightly, but he still held on to his smile: "The queen, please continue."
"In short, on the one hand, you attack Xiyang and let Lord Wumin leave, and on the other hand, you act in the palace and use a fake Lord Wumin."
Liu Liang said: "Then, Empress, where did you find out that this Lord Wumin is not Lord Wumin?"
I said, "There are so many reasons, I can't count them all."
Two hundred and five, I have exchanged with Lord Wumin, it is hard for me not to know if it is him!
It's like Mr. Wumin said to me, "Ya'er told me that you once kicked her into the lotus pond, and even dug a trap for her to jump into, didn't you?" Only Lord Wumin can do it himself. If he really wants to abolish me, there is no need to mention such a thing, according to his personality, just do it directly.
But I couldn't say that to Liu Liang, so I said casually: "The corpse is a corpse after all, even if it looks like a human again, it will still have an unpleasant corpse smell, so you used a lot of incense for him, but The Western Emperor hates incense the most."
Although, in fact, since An Shenshui, he is not so annoying...
Liu Liang was slightly astonished and said: "It's such a detail... Then, Queen, you knew it from the beginning?"
I said: "Yes."
Then I was a little embarrassed and said: "So you don't have to admire me, all the inferences I made were based on 'the emperor is not the emperor'. That time I used the jade hairpin to hold him back and found that his face was broken, There was no bleeding, only the blood of the dead stopped flowing. So I'm sure."
Liu Liang said: "Even so, I still admire it very much."
I said: "Thank you."
Then he reached out and knocked him unconscious without hesitation.
I hid both "Mr. Wumin" and Liu Liang under the bed. Not long after, Grand Master He hurried over and panted and said to me: "Empress Empress, something is wrong! That emperor , It's totally fake!"
I pretended to be surprised and said, "Really? He came just now, but for some reason, he escaped from the window."
Grand Master He panted and said: "Yes! The battle in the border town is not over yet! Your Majesty, His Majesty..."
I said, "What's the matter, Your Majesty?"
Grand Master He said: "The Emperor is dead!"
