Chapter 84 I only love Chen Zhejiang in my life. Without him, I will be widowed forever.
The guards cleared the way and ordered the people to step aside. Then a group of imperial doctors in the palace rushed out of the city carrying their medicine boxes. This kind of scene was the first time in all dynasties.
The imperial physicians all looked bewildered, thinking that something had happened to the Emperor when he was leaving the capital. However, only Imperial Physician Zhao was panicking, as he had already anticipated what would happen next.
It must be that Concubine Shen who is about to have a seizure.
They will inevitably be scolded again. To put it bluntly, if they continue like this, I am afraid they will suffer together and their lives will be in danger.
"Everyone, get in here!"
Xiao Zhinian's angry shout in the house frightened the imperial doctors who had rushed in from afar, and they lined up tremblingly to go in.
They saw the emperor standing by the bed with his back to them, and there was a person lying on the bed. However, because Xiao Zhinian was blocking their view, they could not see who it was.
But judging from his figure, he should be a man.
When they got closer and took a look, everyone was shocked. Even Doctor Zhao was stunned. It turned out that Concubine Shen was actually Shen Zhejiang who had died three years ago!
The emperor has a beautiful mistress in his golden house! !
"No matter what method you use, cure him for me! You will be rewarded with a huge amount of gold and promoted to a higher position!"
The bed had been tidied up, and everywhere was clean. The rope around Shen Zhejiang's wrist had also been broken, having been cut with a knife.
Xiao Zhinian turned around, his clothes were covered in blood, which was stained when he was treating Shen Zhejiang just now. He didn't care about himself and didn't even have time to wipe the blood off his hands.
They just stood there, watching the imperial doctors check Shen Zhejiang's pulse, and then walked aside with serious faces, gathered in a small group and discussed in a low voice, most of them just shook their heads and said nothing.
Just as Doctor Zhao said before, Shen Zhejiang's body has been stretched to the limit, just like an oil lamp, there will always be a day when the lamp will run out of oil.
Doctor Zhao saw this, stepped forward and took out a bottle of medicine from the medicine box, poured out some, and was about to feed it to Shen Zhejiang, but was strangled.
Xiao Zhinian was filled with frost and coldness. He stared at the black pills and asked coldly, "What do you want to do to him?"
This was exactly the honey pill that Xiao Zhinian had broken into pieces. Fortunately, Doctor Zhao was prepared and had specially kept several bottles.
Doctor Zhao then plucked up his courage and explained again: "Your Majesty, I think this is the most desperate solution. We should try our best to save the dying horse. There may still be a glimmer of hope."
"......" Xiao Zhinian remained silent, as if struggling with himself. Finally, he said, "Hey."
"No rescue."
Just then, someone came in from outside the door, and everyone turned around to see who was coming.
"Your subjects greet the Empress Dowager!"
It was Empress Dowager Liang.
Xiao Zhinian's face froze: "Why is the Empress Dowager here?"
Empress Dowager Liang walked in slowly, walked around him, and saw Shen Zhejiang's unconscious face. She couldn't help but be startled: "My guess was right, it was indeed him."
In that case, there is nothing to hide.
But before Xiao Zhinian could say anything, Empress Dowager Liang said, "Pass on my imperial decree. Anyone who dares to save Chen Zhejiang will be killed on the spot."
Xiao Zhinian didn't understand why his grandmother did this, and said word by word: "Pass on my order, anyone who dares not save him will be killed on the spot!"
"this......"
The imperial doctors didn't know whether to save him or not, so they all knelt on the spot.
Seeing that they were motionless, Xiao Zhinian immediately got angry and kicked someone next to him: "Help!!"
Empress Dowager Liang also raised her voice: "I said you are not allowed to save me."
However, Xiao Zhinian suddenly snatched the medicine bottle from Doctor Zhao's hand, went back to the bedside, half-lifted Shen Zhejiang up, fed him the medicine and water, and only after he swallowed it did he calm down a little.
She lowered her head and, in front of Empress Dowager Liang, she gave Shen Zhejiang a gentle kiss on his chapped lips with affection.
This was a clear display of his relationship with Shen Zhejiang to Empress Dowager Liang.
"You are--absurd!"
Empress Dowager Liang was so enraged by this scene that she staggered forward and slapped Xiao Zhinian hard on the face. When she raised her hand again, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her chest and retreated twice while maintaining her posture.
Aunt Lan immediately rushed over to support Empress Dowager Liang, turned around and said urgently: "Imperial Physician!!"
All around, Empress Dowager Liang was helped to sit on a stool. Some were busy looking for medicine for her, while others were giving her acupuncture.
And what about Xiao Zhinian?
He just sat on the edge of the bed, with the red palm print on his back, letting Shen Zhejiang lean on his arm, and looking down at Shen Zhejiang's face which was gradually getting better, at least he breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, he had already expected that doing that would lead to a lesson from the Empress Dowager, but he accepted it.
It doesn't matter, sooner or later they will know that Shen Zhejiang is his.
Empress Dowager Liang finally passed away, but she had caught a cold earlier, and as she was old, she had various old ailments and was very weak.
She scanned the people present with her cloudy eyes, waved her hand and asked them to leave, leaving only Aunt Lan: "I have something to say to the emperor, you all go out."
Some things should not be said directly.
Everyone felt as if they had been granted amnesty. They breathed a long sigh of relief, touched their cold necks, and left quickly one by one.
"Lan Shu, give it to him."
"As you command."
Aunt Lan took out a picture album from her sleeve, held it in her hands, and presented it to Xiao Zhinian: "Your Majesty, please take a look."
Xiao Zhinian thought it was something important and took it immediately.
When I opened the first page, I was surprised to see a portrait of a woman, with even words written next to it in tiny regular script: "eldest daughter of a certain family, how old is she?"
He flipped through several more pages and saw the same thing again.
"What does this mean, Grandma Huang?"
Xiao Zhinian threw it aside like a hot potato, glared at the Empress Dowager Liang opposite him, clenched his fists, and asked directly.
Empress Dowager Liang continued, "These are all unmarried girls from various prefectures in the capital. They are not bad-looking and have good personalities. They are very suitable for you. You can pick one and if you like any of them, you can take them into the harem."
So it's for him to take a concubine again?
What is going on?
"Thank you for your concern, Madam Queen. I don't need it."
Empress Dowager Liang ignored his words and winked at Aunt Lan, who then handed over another booklet. This time Xiao Zhinian did not take it.
"If you don't like women, the Empress Dowager won't force you to do so," Empress Dowager Liang said after a short breath. "Here are the handsome men that the Empress Dowager has asked to be collected from all over the world. They have clean family backgrounds. Take a look and see if there is anyone you like."
"......" Xiao Zhinian's heart trembled for a moment, but his face was cold, and he said, "The Empress came all the way here to talk to me about these irrelevant things? If that's the case, I will immediately send someone to send the Empress back to the palace."
"Don't you understand what the Queen Mother means?"
This sentence stunned Xiao Zhinian.
How come he doesn't know?
"Why was it such a coincidence that you gave the surname 'Chen' when you were about to announce the title to the world? You rushed out of the palace last night as if you didn't want to die. After thinking about it, who else could have made you so anxious?" Empress Dowager Liang continued calmly at this time, "The person you want to marry is Shen Zhejiang, right?"
"yes,"
"Listen to the advice of the Empress Dowager and break up with him. The world is so big, you can have anyone you want, except Chen Zhejiang."
Xiao Zhinian admitted frankly: "I only love Chen Zhejiang in my life. Without him, I will be widowed for the rest of my life."
Xiao Zhinian couldn't figure it out, and suddenly he felt a little astringent, as if there was something stuck in his throat. Why were all the people standing between him and Shen Zhejiang?
