    Cheng Tieqiao left Bauhinia Villa in despair. When he returned to his medicine shop, it was already Youshi. He had no idea that he was being watched.

    When I turned to the inner hall, I saw four-color side dishes already placed on the table. The aroma was fragrant. A girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in a coarse cloth dress, came out of the kitchen with a bowl of hot soup.  , seeing Cheng Tieqiao coming back, he smiled sweetly and said, "Grandpa, the food is ready. Come sit down and eat."

    This girl has bright eyes and is quite beautiful. She is Cheng Lingxiu, the granddaughter of Cheng Tieqiao.  Cheng Lingxiu's parents died when he was young, and he has been dependent on his grandfather since he was a child. Cheng Tieqiao is very skilled in medicine, and he teaches everything he has learned throughout his life, so Cheng Lingxiu is very skilled in medicine at a young age.

    Cheng Tieqiao didn't even sit down. He walked straight to the desk next to the hall, put down his baggage, took out the jug of wine and handed it over, saying, "Let's see what's inside?"

    Cheng Lingxiu didn't know why, but after smelling the jug, she frowned slightly and said, "There are Huanhuncao and several tonics in it. Huanhuncao is cool in nature, so it is suitable to be used to relieve heat in late autumn. I used it this time."  Strong alcohol isn¡¯t that harmful, so what¡¯s wrong with that?¡±

    Cheng Tieqiao said: "What if I use ylang ylang incense first?"

    Cheng Lingxiu's expression changed slightly and she said: "Mixing the two will speed up the circulation of blood vessels. If used in large amounts, it may damage the heart vessels, but it will look like the wind is blowing."

    Cheng Tieqiao hummed and said, "I saw a patient today who had this symptom. I guess the patient didn't really get a cold right away, but was poisoned intentionally."

    Cheng Lingxiu's expression changed slightly and she said, "Grandpa, what should we do? Do we want to report to the official?"

    Cheng Tieqiao shook his head and said: "If you are not born into the officialdom, you will not go to hell. Your grandfather doesn't want to get into trouble with the officials. Besides, the family also gave him thousands of taels of silver." As he said this, he took out a few large denominations from his arms.  The banknotes went up.

    Cheng Lingxiu frowned and said, "Grandpa, I've told you before. This money is enough for your needs. Making too much money will harm your moral character."

    Cheng Tieqiao said slightly sullenly: "Girl, did you ever talk to your grandfather like this? I know you have been blaming me for delaying my return home in order to treat Mr. Chen, and causing your parents to die at the hands of quack doctors.  After all these years, you are still blaming your grandpa!"

    Cheng Lingxiu lowered his head and remained silent. Cheng Tieqiao blew his beard and stared for a long time, then said angrily: "Seal up this jug and bury it in the backyard."

    Cheng Lingxiu asked curiously: "Grandpa, since you don't want to report to the official, why do you keep this wine flask?"

    Cheng Tieqiao chuckled and said: "That family will give you thousands of taels of silver as soon as they sell it. Our medicine shop will have to change its location later. If we are short of money, we will come to ask for some. I don't think that family will refuse to give it.  And this flagon is proof of that.¡±

    Cheng Lingxiu frowned and said, "Grandpa, how can we afford to offend a wealthy family? Besides, they have given so much money. We can't be greedy."

    Seeing Cheng Lingxiu's repeated disobedience, Cheng Tieqiao scolded: "You stinky girl, what do you know? Didn't I just do this to find you a good family? If you don't order a dowry to accompany you, I will give you a kick in the future, old man. You are here  Who can I rely on to support my husband¡¯s family?¡±

    Although she was scolded by Cheng Tieqiao, Cheng Lingxiu still felt warm in her heart. She didn't say much at the moment, turned to the backyard, sealed the wine pot with beeswax, placed it in a wine jar and buried it in the backyard.  Sealing with beeswax can preserve the efficacy of the medicine for a long time. Cheng Lingxiu also often makes some elixirs, which are also sealed with beeswax and made into wax pills to carry around.

    After finishing.  As soon as Cheng Lingxiu arrived at the back door of the inner hall, she heard a scream inside. Cheng Lingxiu was startled. She looked in from the window and saw two men standing in the house holding bloody blades. Cheng Tieqiao had fallen in a pool of blood.

    Cheng Lingxiu was so frightened that she covered her mouth. After the two big men checked the room, one of them said: "I heard that this old guy has a granddaughter. I wonder if she is at home." The other said: "The old guy just got home. Maybe he  My granddaughter doesn¡¯t know what happened yet, so it¡¯s better to kill as little as possible.¡±

    The first one said angrily: "Be benevolent as a woman, you must know that to cut the weeds, you have to get rid of the roots. If the things that Su Zhongtang personally told you are not handled well, be careful of our heads!" Then he said: "Go to the backyard and take a look. If you see someone, you will die.  , and then the place is set on fire, the government will automatically conclude the case as a fire!"

    Cheng Lingxiu held her mouth tightly to prevent herself from crying. Seeing the man coming towards the backyard with a knife, Cheng Lingxiu hurriedly opened the back of the backyard and ran out. She heard behind her exclaimed: "That little girl  Pi is in the backyard, she ran away!" "Chase her out, it will be a disaster if she escapes!"

    Cheng Lingxiu just ran a few steps when a gust of wind came behind him. He felt a pain in his shoulder. When he looked back, he saw that his shoulder was scratched by the tip of the knife that caught up. He staggered and fell to the ground.  Turning around and looking around I saw thatThe man with a ferocious expression came forward with a knife and struck it on the head.

    Cheng Lingxiu was horrified. Just as she was waiting for death with her eyes closed, she heard a scream. When she opened her eyes, she saw that the man was already standing upright, with a bright flying knife missing from his chest.  Someone rushed to her side and said anxiously: "Miss Cheng, are you okay?"

    When Cheng Lingxiu saw that it was Brother Li Ding who she had saved, she felt relieved and fell into Li Ding's arms.  In a daze, Cheng Lingxiu could only hear the sound of fighting in her ears from time to time. One person exclaimed: "They are the Qingyao Eagle Claws from Shang Yu's backup department. Brother Chen and Brother Yang, let's retreat quickly. Get downstairs."  Let¡¯s talk at a meeting point" Then Cheng Lingxiu fainted.

    ¡­¡­

    However, Sushun, Zaiyuan, Duanhua and others gathered around the warm sedan and hurried back. Before leaving, Sushun did not forget to tell his men to go back to Bauhinia Villa to deal with the aftermath, and all the servants in the house were to be eliminated.  The doctor will be silenced as well.

    Back in Chengde, Xianfeng gradually came to his senses. Although he still couldn't walk on his own, he could speak clearly.  Zaiyuan, Duanhua, Sushun and others secretly breathed a sigh of relief, finally the emperor was not allowed to die outside.

    After returning to the Yanbo Zhishuang Palace, Xianfeng lay back on the imperial couch. The imperial physician who was already there had been notified of Sushun and rushed over in a hurry. The imperial physician who alerted the imperial concubine Jinghuang and the queen Niu Gu were naturally alerted.  Mrs. Lu, Concubine Yi and others, as well as the accompanying ministers, also got the news and hurriedly came outside Yanbo Zhishuang Hall. Soon the courtyard outside was full of people kneeling.

    Xingzhen took a nap in the afternoon, but she didn't expect that when she got up, she heard the news that the emperor was ill, and also heard the news brought by Huang Jingci.  This time the illness was very serious.  Xingzhen hurriedly changed her clothes and rushed over. When she arrived, she saw that the inside and outside of Yanbo Zhishuang Hall had been tightly guarded by the imperial guards.

    Mrs. Niu Colu and Zai Chun stood in the corridor, looking at Zai Yuan, the minister in charge of the bodyguard, with an angry look on his face, and shouted loudly: "Zai Yuan, the emperor is sick, why don't you let me come in to visit?"

    Zaiyuan bowed slightly and said calmly: "The imperial doctor is treating the emperor. No one is allowed to disturb him. When the emperor wakes up, he will come to see you. Please wait a moment, the empress."

    Although Niu Colu was weak, her tough side showed up when things were urgent. She angrily pulled Zai Chun and rushed in.  He said angrily: "I am the queen. Without the emperor's instructions, it is not your turn to stand in the way! Get out of my way!"

    There was a loud sound from both sides, and the child Zai Chun was frightened and started crying. Xingzhen hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the child.  Standing next to Niu Gulu, they both glared at Zaiyuan and said, "Prince Yi. What is your intention in blocking the queen? How dare you block someone without the emperor's instructions?!"

    Although Zaiyuan¡¯s face looked as usual.  But I was beating a drum in my heart, worried that the imperial doctor in the house would find out that the ugly Yinmao was here. He and Sushun were like grasshoppers on the same rope, and they would both suffer. I just hoped that the emperor could wake up for a moment and Sushun could put the matter aside first.  yes.

    Peng Youyi, the eunuch at this stall, came out in time and said loudly: "The emperor has spoken. Empress Xuan, Concubine Yi, and the eldest brother have an audience!"

    Zaiyuan glanced at Peng Yiyi, who nodded slightly to him. Zaiyuan breathed a sigh of relief and stepped out of the way.  The guards behind him also stepped aside.  Niu Gulu gave Zai Yuan a hateful look and walked inside.  Xingzhen followed Zai Chun, who was sobbing freely. When she came to Zai Yuan's side, Xingzhen said softly: "My lord, do you really think you can cover the sky with one hand? God is watching what people do!"  After saying that, Xingzhen ignored Zaiyuan's angry glare and quickly followed in.

    When they arrived at the house, they saw Sushun, Duanhua and others kneeling on the imperial couch. Several imperial doctors were discussing with sad faces outside. Xingzhen looked at Huang Jingci and saw him shaking his head slightly towards her. Xingzhen was heartbroken.  I sank, knowing that I couldn't survive.

    Xianfeng was lying on the bed. When he saw two women coming in with their children, he felt slightly refreshed and straightened up slightly. The eunuch had already helped him to lean on the cushions.  Niu Gulu's tears fell heavily, and she knelt down beside the couch while sobbing: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

    Xianfeng patted the back of Niu Gulu's hand happily, and saw Xingzhen kneeling beside her with Zai Chun. He smiled weakly and said, "I've run out of gas. I'll faint when I go out for a little walk today."  He collapsed, it seems that the end has come, no one can blame him.¡±

    Niu Gulu burst into tears, and Xingzhen felt a sense of loss. Although her eyes were red and her chest was a little clogged, she didn't cry. On the contrary, Zai Chun, the child, saw the queen crying and started to cry too.  .

    Xianfeng looked at Peng Youyi, who hurriedly brought over a tray with two imperial seals placed on it.  Xianfeng looked at Xingzhen and said: "I don't have much time. After I leave, Zaichun can succeed as emperor. However, Zaichun is young. I have appointed Zaiyuan, Duanhua, Jingshou, Sushun and Muyin."  , Kuang Yuan, Du Han, and Jiao Youying are the ministers of Gu Ming.Assist Zaichun.  These two royal seals were previously used by me. They were specially given to the queen and the Tongdaotang seal to Concubine Yi. All future decrees will be drawn up by the eight ministers and must be stamped with the royal seals of the two palaces before they can take effect.  "

    After thanking her, Niu Gulu just cried aside. Xingzhen knelt beside the couch and didn't know what to say. It seemed that history had changed.  This is also Xianfeng's helpless move. Now there are Zaiyuan and Sushun both internally and externally. It would be strange if they were not present in the center.

    After Xianfeng explained some more things, he smiled slightly and said, "Everyone, please go out first. I have something to say to Concubine Yi alone." Everyone left together, Sushun came to the door and gave Xingzhen a resentful look.

    After everyone left, Xianfeng gently touched Xingzhen's jade hand and said: "Lan'er, I know you are not an ordinary woman. With you by Zaichun's side, I feel more at ease when I leave. It's just that the queen has a weak temperament, so you should respect her well."  .¡±

    Xingzhen said softly: "Lan'er knows that she will always treat the queen as her own sister."

    Xianfeng coughed a few times and continued: "Sushun and the others are too powerful, and the sixth one is in the capital. I have no choice but to count on the queen and you. If they do anything disobedient, you can continue to do this."  A secret edict together with Lao Liu will take them down." After saying that, the withered hand took out a yellow silk imperial edict from his arms and handed it to Xingzhen's hands, and then said: "It is extremely risky to do anything in Chengde.  You all have to be patient, and only with Lao Liu here in the capital can you three have a chance of winning."

    Xingzhen couldn't help but the tears finally fell. She nodded and touched Xianfeng's hand with her beautiful hand. Xianfeng forced a smile and said, "You are finally willing to cry for me." Xingzhen said softly in Xianfeng's ear: "If you can choose  , I am willing to retire with you"

    Xianfeng smiled bitterly and said: "I'm very happy that you can say that. I know that your heart has never completely belonged to me. This sentence is enough." Then he said softly: "Go out and let the queen come in.  I still have to give her instructions."

    Xingzhen walked out of the house in a daze, and after passing on Xianfeng's oral instructions, she stood aside. She was still thinking about Xianfeng's words in her mind. She stood like this, and she could not see Xianfeng again until Xianfeng died in the end. It turned out that those few words  Those are the last few sentences.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
