Empress Dowager Zheng suddenly laughed, her wrinkled face stretched out in the bright candlelight, like a chrysanthemum that was about to fall: "Zhao Chunming! Tell me, can Aijia succeed tonight?"
Eunuch Zhao's heart was pounding. He quickly raised his eyes to look at the mad Empress Dowager, then quickly lowered his head and replied: "I don't dare to talk nonsense. However, no matter when the time comes, I will stay with the Empress Dowager."
Empress Dowager Zheng laughed and waved. Like a dog, Eunuch Zhao obediently walked up to his master, bent down and let the Empress Dowager touch his face.
Empress Dowager Zheng touched Eunuch Zhao's chest for a while and then asked: "Your heart is beating so fast, are you afraid?"
"Yes," Eunuch Zhao was dripping with cold sweat on his forehead. He couldn't hide it even if he wanted to, so he simply admitted bluntly: "This slave is timid and very scared."
"Don't be afraid," Empress Dowager Zheng raised her hand and patted Eunuch Zhao on the face: "The Ai family has lived for sixty years and has never seen any big storms. We will definitely make it happen tonight!"
Eunuch Zhao responded solemnly: "Yes."
Suddenly there was a sharp shout outside the door.
It was King Ping who was awakened.
Empress Dowager Zheng solemnly ordered: "Go and comfort Prince Ping and ask him to go back to his dormitory. Don't make any noise here."
Eunuch Zhao took the order in a low voice, cheered up and walked out.
Prince Ping was probably frightened by last year's palace coup. He trembled with fright when he heard the faint shouts of killing, and his fat and white face was full of fear.
Prince Ping couldn't even hear a word of Eunuch Zhao's kind words of comfort. He reached out and scratched Eunuch Zhao: "Get out of the way! I want to see my grandmother!"
There were three blood marks on Eunuch Zhao's handsome face, which made him feel hurt and annoyed. Then I thought about how my peaceful life had been completely broken, and I wondered if I would have a chance to see the sun tomorrow, and I became increasingly irritable.
Eunuch Zhao winked at Eunuch Ge. Eunuch Ge gritted his teeth and hit Prince Ping hard on the back of his neck.
King Ping was knocked unconscious and fell into the arms of Duke Ge.
Eunuch Zhao looked at Eunuch Ge who had been scratched and his face was bloodshot. He felt a little resentful: "If you had stopped Prince Ping earlier, you wouldn't have made trouble like this."
Eunuch Ge sighed with a grimace: "How can a slave attack his master?"
"It's not time to take action now." Eunuch Zhao spat back angrily: "You take Prince Ping back to sleep, and come out again after you get through the night."
Eunuch Ge responded in a low voice and asked cautiously: "Are you sure you can survive tonight?"
Eunuch Zhao looked ugly and looked at Eunuch Ge: "Our family doesn't know either."
Eunuch Ge felt chilly in his heart.
Those who are slaves only hope to live a peaceful life. With Prince Ping's appearance, he would be nothing more than a wooden sculpture sitting on the dragon chair. He might die earlier. It would be better to live in the palace without any worries and live longer like before.
However, Empress Dowager Zheng refused to live in peace, and the sullen mood she had been holding in for a year had to be released. With the turmoil reaching this point, it is impossible to live in peace.
Eunuch Ge carried Prince Ping on his back with great difficulty and walked with heavy steps.
Eunuch Zhao breathed out a filthy breath, called his confidant, the servant, over and gave a few instructions in a low voice.
The little chamberlain nodded.
After Eunuch Zhao left, the servant quietly hid in the dark. Then he found the small door of Jingyang Palace, stuffed money into the chamberlain guarding the door, and sneaked out in the night.
The young chamberlain often went to Showa Palace to deliver messages and was very familiar with the terrain. After escaping two groups of fierce battles, his whereabouts were not discovered until outside the gate of Showa Palace.
"Don't kill me, I'm here to deliver a message." The waiter shouted urgently.
The emperor's personal guards, who were tall and strong, withdrew their long swords and carried the young eunuch into the palace. Naturally, the little chamberlain was not qualified to see the emperor, so he was brought before Commander Song.
Song Yuan's face was as dark as water and he asked coldly: "What news are you sending?"
The young chamberlain hurriedly said: "Eunuch Zhao asked me to tell Commander Song three names."
Song Yuan's eyes narrowed. Eunuch Zhao took the risk of being discovered and questioned by the Empress Dowager, so he asked his confidants to pass on the message. These three people are by no means ordinary people.
After the young chamberlain finished speaking, Song Yuan called Qin Hu, Sun An and others, and told them to arrest them: "These three people have been hiding for many years. They are tough enemies. You should be careful."
Qin Hu's face was full of murderous intent: "Don't worry, Commander Song, I will tie them up right now."
He never thought that Qin Hu, who thought highly of himself, would sometimes stumble.
The first two dead men were captured smoothly, but the last one was extremely skilled and fought back before he died, injuring Qin Hu with a poisoned hidden weapon.
The poison was so violent that Qin Hu's wound immediately oozed black blood and was extremely painful. Fortunately, Imperial Physician Sun and his daughter were both at Zhaohe Palace, so they arrived just in time.
Imperial Physician Sun quickly stuffed the interpretation pill and applied a needle to Qin Hu's chest to protect his heart.
With a cold face, Sun Zelan picked up the sharp and slender blade and cut the flesh without hesitation.
Qin Hu's veins popped out from the pain and he screamed miserably. He no longer cared about his masculinity.
Sun Zelan said solemnly: "Shut up if you want to survive."
By the time the soup was boiled and brought over, Qin Hu had already fainted from the pain. Sun Zelan pinched Qin Hu's chin hard and poured the hot soup into it.
Qin Hu didn't know whether he was woken up by the burn or the pain, his face was red. Soon, the drug took effect and he closed his eyes again and fell unconscious.
Without saying a word, Sun Zelan moved quickly with his hands, digging out layer after layer of Qin Hu's injured flesh until all the black blood was gone and red blood flowed out.
Being poisoned, all you are fighting for is this moment of time. Dr. Sun knew that his daughter was a skilled surgeon, so he was willing to help.
The emperor heard that Qin Hu had been poisoned and came over in person.
Sun Zelan was concentrating on nothing else, and Imperial Physician Sun took the time to turn around and say: "If we save him in time, Guard Qin's life should be saved."
Jiang Shaohua nodded slightly, his eyes falling on Qin Hu's young face twisted in pain.
This dead soldier actually hid a deadly hidden weapon.
If she had left the palace before, maybe she was the one hit by this hidden arrow.
Sun Zelan finally stopped moving. At this time, Qin Hu's injured area was covered with ointment and wrapped in layers of white gauze. His face was pale and his clothes were soaked with sweat.
Sun Zelan wiped his forehead with his sleeve, stood up, and looked at Jiang Shaohua: "Your Majesty, Qin Hu is lucky and his life is saved. However, he was injured on his left shoulder, and too much flesh and blood was dug out. In the future, his left arm will be strained and he will suffer more. Impact.”
Along the way, there are fewer and fewer familiar guards around me. Especially during the palace coup last year, two hundred guardsmen suffered heavy casualties, and only about thirty people survived.
Fortunately, Qin Hu's life is not worried.
Jiang Shaohua said: "You guys take good care of Qin Hu. I'll go to Jingyang Palace to see if the Queen Mother is okay."
Sun Zelan looked at Her Majesty the Empress with a murderous look on her face, and silently lit the candle for the Empress Dowager in her heart. (End of chapter)
