Chapter 319
Lu Heng didn't ask any more questions, calmly instructed his subordinates to investigate the danger, took advantage of the situation to control the Yikun Palace, squeezed Empress Fang away invisibly, and replaced all the people around the emperor with Jinyiwei. Soon, Jin Yiwei came with the imperial physician. The imperial physician was also quite frightened when he saw this situation. He held his composure to check the emperor's pulse, and then went to see the wound on the emperor's neck.
Lu Heng had been standing by the side, seeing this and asking, "Emperor doctor, how is the emperor?"
"Blessed by the emperor, the holy bow will be fine." The imperial physician stood up and said cautiously, "but the emperor fainted due to being too frightened. How to do it, we have to wait for the holy master to wake up and then check the pulse."
Lu Heng reassured, the emperor is not poisoned, it's okay to be in a coma, he personally guards here, and sees who can make fun of it.
At dawn, the city gate had just opened, and a thunderstorm had quickly spread throughout the major official residences. When Xia Wenjin heard the news, he was so frightened that he dropped the teacup in his hand to the ground: "What, the emperor was murdered by the palace servant?"
"Yes." The person who reported the report also looked horrified and said, "It happened in the first half of the night yesterday, and the palace gate was under martial law in the second half of the night, and the next thing will not come out."
Xia Wenjin was dumbfounded, and after a while before he could react, he hurriedly asked, "Who is guarding the emperor now?"
"Jin Yiwei." The person who reported the report replied, "After what happened last night, Empress Fang was the first to arrive, and then Commander Lu led her into the palace. Now all the passages of the Yikun Palace are taken over by Jin Yiwei, no matter how much more Things, the little ones don't know."
Xia Wenjin changed his clothes and hurried into the palace. On the way, he saw officials who went out in a hurry like him. The officials of the cabinet and six ministries gathered in the palace, and they pressured several times, but failed to see the emperor.
Jin Yiwei doesn't eat hard and soft, Xia Wenjin's majesty is useless at the moment, he can only wait in the palace. The shadow of the sundial changed from short to long. When Xia Wenjin was about to lose his hunger and thirst, the eunuch finally came back and brought the holy decree: "The emperor is awake, Lord Shoufu, please come with the servants."
The emperor was lucky not to be strangled, but was in a coma for a long time. His throat was burning like fire, and his body was hurting. He dreamed that someone was killing him. He woke up from a nightmare, panting violently, unable to distinguish between dream and reality. At this time, there were steady footsteps around, and someone was half-kneeling in front of the church, with a calm and firm voice: "Your Majesty, it's too late for me to rescue you. The traitor has been killed, and the inside and outside of the Yikun Palace are covered with brocade-clothed guards. Your Majesty can rest assured. No suspicious person will be let near."
The emperor recognized that it was Lu Heng's voice, just like the sea of fire last time, he always appeared by the emperor's side at the most dangerous time, reliable and powerful. The emperor's heart slowly calmed down, and his vision resumed before his eyes. He saw that there were many guards in brocade standing outside the tent, and the sleeves of the female officials and servants were tied up, exposing all their arms. The female officer brought Qingshui, and after being interviewed by everyone, she was allowed to present it to the emperor.
Everything was orderly and orderly, which greatly appeased the emperor's panic. The emperor looked at the bright red in the hall, and some understood why Emperor Hongwu had given Jinyiwei such bright clothes.
Just like now, the gorgeous flying fish suits can be recognized from the crowd at a glance. These tall, heroic and carefully selected good family members guard every corner, patrolling and interrogating well-trained.
This is his personal soldier, and looking at it makes people feel more secure. Especially the figure standing by the emperor's side, slender, tall and indestructible, guarding the emperor's side like an enlightened shòu, as if he can predict all dangers in the world, and his strength and intelligence are at the peak.
The emperor had just experienced a murder in his own home, and it was not until he saw Lu Heng that he could finally be sure that he was safe.
After the emperor drank water and medicine, his mood recovered a little. The chamberlain reported that all the lords in the cabinet had been waiting in the Qianqing Palace, and the emperor reluctantly tried to fight the spirit and summoned Xia Wen to meet him.
With the emperor's current situation, he would definitely not be able to stay on official business. He asked Xia Wenjin to come in just to prove that he was okay, so as to reassure the hearts of the courtiers outside.
After the emperor summoned Xia Wenjin, he was soon tired again. But Emperor Kong was tortured by exhaustion but couldn't sleep. The vassal king wanted to kill him, the White Lotus Sect wanted to kill him, the emperor could accept it, but the palace maid wanted to kill him, how could he prepare?
This accident had a greater impact on the emperor than being betrayed by those closest to him. If the most humble palace maid wanted to strangle him, who else could he trust? The emperor was repeatedly frightened, opened his eyes suspiciously and suspiciously, tormented others and tormented himself. After tossing until it was dark, the emperor finally couldn't bear the exhaustion, and fell asleep with his body tense.
Lu Heng stayed by the emperor's side, and when the emperor fell asleep, Lu Heng quietly exited. Lu Heng walked out of the dormitory with a solemn expression on his face.
Lu Heng saw the emperor's heart disease, the emperor did not doubt Lu Heng, but the emperor's sense of security in the outside world had collapsed. If the courtier intends to kill the monarch, even the ten tribes can be executed, but the palace cannot be separated from the palace maids and eunuchs.
Taking a step back and thinking about it, even the palace maids at the bottom can kill him. Who else can the emperor trust in the palace maid, the servants, and the concubines?
Lu Heng sighed silently, it is easy to save the car, but difficult to finish. The emperor should be cured of his physical illness now, but his mental illness is difficult to cure. If the emperor can't get out of the shadows, how can we govern the country?
The emperor had just fallen asleep, and no one inside or outside dared to speak loudly. Guo Tao followed behind Lu Heng and whispered, "Sir, the queen took Concubine Cao Duan and the eldest princess away."
