Chapter 354 Is this the only way?
That night.
The eternal sleeping lamp in the Cining Palace was on all night.
Xie Jingmo hadn't slept for several days. When he was half asleep and half awake, he felt a figure walking out of the palace.
Xie Jingmo called out in a daze, "Lao Gao, did someone go out just now?"
Deputy General Gao turned over and said, "It's so late, who can get rid of me?" After saying this, Deputy General Gao began to snore.
The long corridor in the palace was windy late at night.
Blowing the lantern in Fu Hai's hand and shaking it.
A black dress seemed to blend into the darkness as Yun Zhao stepped into the little emperor's room.
"Empress Dowager... this is the only way, is this the only solution?" Doctor Li knelt on the ground, his body trembling.
Yun Zhao remained calm, raised his knife and slashed it, with a dripping sound, into the porcelain bowl in front of him.
Half an hour later.
Yun Zhao put on the hood of his cloak and disappeared silently into the cold night.
The next day, Deputy General Gao got up, went out, and then turned back.
He looked at Yun Zhao in surprise. "Don't you hate putting on makeup? Why are you putting on lipstick today?"
Yun Zhao smiled and said, "You're also concerned about this. No wonder your wife thinks you're nagging."
Deputy General Gao chuckled.
He hadn't had a good meal for many days, and just as he was about to enjoy his meal today, someone came in at the door.
Deputy General Gao initially thought it was Xie Jingmo.
result.
"Yun Zhao." An annoying voice sounded, and Deputy General Gao lost his appetite.
He was about to stand up, but Yun Zhao had already taken the lead and said to Deputy General Gao, "I'm full. Please let Xie Jingmo eat some later."
Since Xie Jingmo's hand was disabled, his body has become much weaker and he is very exhausted. He is very sleepy.
Not awake yet.
Yun Zhao walked out of the room and into the pavilion outside.
Mu Chengyan knew that Yun Zhao had followed him out on purpose because he was afraid that Deputy General Gao would feel uncomfortable with his presence.
"If you do this, you will only spoil them and make them lose respect for their superiors." Mu Chengyan still disagreed, but there were some things he had to say.
Yun Zhao didn't care. He asked, "What's the matter?"
Mu Chengyan looked at Yun Zhao's cold eyes and felt that he seemed to be getting further and further away from Yun Zhao.
This realization made him panic.
"Well," Mu Chengyan managed to calm himself down, "Erbao, when are you going to hand him over to King Liang? Deputy General Lin killed Yu Xiang, and King Liang won't let it go. He'll definitely bring up this matter in court today. You might as well hand Erbao over to save yourself a lot of trouble later."
Mu Chengyan was already prepared for Yun Zhao to have a long speech with him.
He also prepared a rebuttal.
But Yun Zhao didn't explain those reasons, and only asked calmly, "Is there anything else?"
Mu Chengyan nodded. "A few days ago, I came from the imperial physician. He said that the little emperor only has a few days left. He seems to be in good condition now, and it's probably his last breath. I think you should prepare early. You are currently at odds with Prince Liang over Lieutenant General Lin. If the little emperor dies overnight, you won't be able to protect him. Since it's only a matter of time, why bother yourself?"
In Mucheng Yan's opinion.
When Imperial Physician Li said that the young emperor didn't have much time left, Yun Zhao had already lost the game.
Yun Zhao was just struggling in his death throes, but it was meaningless.
"I understand," Yun Zhao said calmly, "You can go to court."
Mu Chengyan sighed, "I know you have your own persistence, but I hope that what you insist on is what you should and deserve to insist on, and not in vain. Yun Zhao, I am doing this for your own good."
Mu Chengyan is always good at saying, "I'm doing this for your own good."
But he also seemed to never know what Yun Zhao really wanted.
They were moving further and further away from each other in completely opposite directions.
The morning of the day.
As expected, King Liang launched an uprising.
A large number of ministers in the court knelt down.
"If Erbao is not executed, we will not be able to explain to the people of the world and the Prime Minister's family! I propose that Erbao be executed immediately! In addition, Deputy General Lin's family's corpses be whipped!"
King Liang looked straight at Yun Zhao, who was sitting in the high seat, with a defiant expression.
Mu Chengyan told him a few days ago that the little emperor was about to die.
He deliberately walked past the gate of the little emperor's palace that morning.
There were bursts of coughing inside, which sounded like those coming from someone who was about to die.
He is now attacking Yun Zhao in public, but he is not afraid at all!
Anyway, the little emperor is dead, and this prosperous era belongs to him!
Most of the people in the court knelt down, as they were looking for a supporter to ensure their future wealth and glory.
Yun Zhao narrowed his eyes, flicked his sleeves and left.
After the court session.
Mu Chengyan frowned and asked King Liang, "It's almost enough, why force it like this?"
Prince Liang smiled in amusement, "Why, are you feeling sorry for it?"
"Mu Chengyan, I advise you to put this thought aside, otherwise you will have more heartaches in the future."
"I'm telling you, don't be soft-hearted at this moment and try to root out the weeds. I want everyone to see my iron fist before I ascend the throne! I want all the officials to understand that only by following me can they have a good life in the future. Otherwise, their fate will be no different from that of Lieutenant General Lin."
Mu Chengyan was about to say something.
Prince Liang raised his hand and laughed heartily, "Don't try to persuade me any more. If you have time, go to the little emperor and see when he dies! That's what matters most!"
Mu Chengyan looked at King Liang with a curled mouth and walked away arrogantly.
He narrowed his eyes darkly.
The rumors from outside were indeed true. Prince Liang was lustful and arrogant. If he became the new ruler of the world in the future, the people would surely suffer.
He had to take Yun Zhao away as soon as possible.
Mu Chengyan thought so and quickly went to the little emperor's palace.
"Doctor Li, is the Emperor alright?" Mu Chengyan glanced behind the curtain. The person on the bed was asleep with eyes closed, and his breathing sounded shallow. "Will he make it through tonight?"
Doctor Li nodded, "It should be possible."
Mu Chengyan frowned upon hearing this, "Didn't you say five days before? It's almost five days now, and why are you always so unreliable about the time?"
Mu Chengyan was a little annoyed, "It seems like it will be gone for thousands of years."
Doctor Li knelt timidly on the ground, "I can only do my best and use my family's knowledge. If it works, it will be considered as the merits of my ancestors. I dare not slack off."
Mu Chengyan sighed, looking at Doctor Li kneeling on the ground, and said impatiently, "Then, Doctor Li, please give me some time?" He said in a stern tone, "You know, I can be calm, but King Liang is anxious. If you offend him..."
Mu Chengyan asked meaningfully, "Do you know what happened to Lieutenant General Lin?"
Doctor Li's body was trembling violently. "Yes, I think that within three days at most, King Liang's wish will come true!"
Mu Chengyan nodded.
Before leaving, he glanced at the bed again.
The little emperor was still sleeping. The windows in the room were tightly closed, and a strong smell of medicine was spreading.
He covered his mouth and nose in disgust, lowered his head and said to Doctor Li, "Some people are alive, but they are already dead. Since they are already dead, Doctor Li, no matter how hard he works, it is in vain. Why not give it to them directly? I think the emperor will not blame you, and King Liang will definitely reward you in the future."
Doctor Li knelt on the ground, his body trembling like a fallen leaf in autumn.
