Chapter 137

The emperor lost his moral integrity, and the emperor issued a warning. The situation that had finally stabilized was disturbed again.

After Huaicheng surrendered to Feng Shuo, several cities were persuaded by Chu Yangui to surrender. After the evidence given by Empress Gao to Feng Shuo was announced to the world, the people denounced the court and supported Feng Shuo. For a time, the Daxuan Dynasty was about to fall.

An Yongyuan trained a heavy cavalry of 20,000 people in just a few months. Yuzhou finally stopped closing its doors and could compete head-on with the heavy cavalry of the court.

Compared to Feng Shuo, who was supported by the people and had high morale, the imperial army was like a dog without a home. When the local people met the army in the territory, they would throw rotten leaves and rotten eggs to them.

In such a situation, the two armies fought and the imperial army was defeated.

The various princes of the uprising also saw the general situation clearly. In addition, after Feng Shuo formed an alliance with Xing'an Hou and protected the land of Yuzhou, the princes came to form an alliance.

After the heavy rain in the summer, the weather in the imperial city became hotter day by day.

The sunlight shone on the golden glazed tiles, as if it was a flame rising from the wall.

The door of the cold palace was kicked open roughly, and the red painted wooden door fell heavily on the palace wall with a loud "clang".

Queen Gao, who was only wearing plain clothes, sat at the stone table and leisurely painted her nails with bright phoenix flower juice.

Seeing Feng Shiyan in anger, Queen Gao curled her lips, her eyes full of satisfaction after revenge: "Your Majesty is so angry, it seems that the throne is unstable."

Feng Shiyan stepped forward and grabbed Queen Gao's neck. There were still small blood beads on his face, and his eyes were so cruel that he seemed to want to eat people: "Gao Tan, I should have killed you long ago!"

The hatred in Empress Gao's eyes was no less than his, and she said viciously: "You forced me to do this! Your Majesty, wouldn't you feel guilty sitting on the dragon chair while stepping on the corpses of the Gao family?"

Feng Shiyan clenched his five fingers tightly: "Then you go down and watch with the Gao family, whether I am safe or not!" A

strong feeling of suffocation came over her, and Empress Gao's eyes turned white. She grabbed his hand that was pinching her throat, and when her sharp nails scratched the back of Feng Shiyan's hand, Empress Gao died with a weird smile on her lips.

The eunuch who followed was frightened by the smile of Empress Gao. He quickly turned his eyes away, exclaimed, and took a silk handkerchief to bandage the back of Feng Shiyan's hand that was bleeding: "Your Majesty, please don't hurt the dragon body!"

Feng Shiyan's anger was still there, and his expression was extremely gloomy: "Pass on my decree, all the bodies of the Gao family will be exposed for three days and thrown into the mountains to feed the wolves!" The eunuch

was scared. Prime Minister Gao was the emperor's uncle after all, but not only did

he not keep his body intact, he even refused to bury him. The new emperor was moody and unpredictable. Even as the chief eunuch of the palace, he couldn't figure out his temper. He usually served him with his head tied to his belt.

After receiving Feng Shiyan's order, the chief eunuch immediately responded, "I obey your order."

Perhaps because the sun was too scorching, Feng Shiyan felt a little dizzy. When he raised his feet to leave the cold palace, he suddenly fell to the ground with black eyes.

The chief eunuch was shocked: "Your Majesty!"

After a closer look, he found that the hand of Feng Shiyan that was scratched by Empress Gao was already blue and black.

The chief eunuch felt that the blood in his body ran cold. The

eldest princess hurried into the palace and saw that the back of Feng Shiyan's hand had begun to rot while he was lying on the dragon couch. Even though she had seen many storms, she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.

After drinking bowl after bowl of detoxifying soup, the poison was still spreading to other parts of Feng Shiyan's body.

The doctors of the Imperial Hospital knelt on the floor in the bedroom, and each of them had beads of cold sweat on his forehead.

The chief eunuch didn't need the Grand Princess to ask more questions, and he cried and told her that Feng Shiyan was poisoned by Empress Gao scratching his hand.

The Grand Princess looked ugly and asked the director of the Imperial Hospital: "Do you know what kind of poison your Majesty was poisoned by? Is there any antidote?"

The director looked frightened: "According to my diagnosis, your Majesty must have been poisoned by a snake. This poison is the poison of a black snake in the desert. It is very unusual and there is no antidote so far..." The

Grand Princess' pupils shrank: "Poisonous snake in the desert?"

The desert is far outside the Great Wall, thousands of miles away from the capital.

Empress Gao was able to hand over the letter of Empress Dowager Gao and the Gao family's conspiracy to seize the military power of the Mu family to Feng Shuo. The Grand Princess first thought of Feng Shuo's handwriting on the snake venom.

She closed her eyes heavily and asked the emissary, "How much time does your majesty have left?"

The emissary said, "The snake venom was mixed into the juice of the phoenix fairy flower. When your majesty was scratched, the wound was not contaminated by a large amount of toxin, and your body is strong, so you have been able to hold on until now. For now, this old minister can only use medicine to contain the spread of the toxin, but the poison cannot be eradicated and will always erode your internal organs bit by bit. At most, you may have about a year left, and at least, only a few months."

"Your majesty's poisoning must be kept secret from the outside world, and also from His Majesty himself." Sadness welled up in the eyes of the eldest princess, but she quickly made a decision.

The court envoy nodded and said, "I understand, old minister."

After everyone in the bedroom had left, the Grand Princess looked at Feng Shiyan's black and purple wounds and finally shed tears, "Yan'er, you are the only relative my aunt has in this world."

Feng Shiyan's originally tightly closed eyelids suddenly trembled, and he gently opened a slit and said weakly, "Aunt..."

The Grand Princess almost cried with joy, "Imperial Physician! Call the Imperial Physician! His Majesty is awake!"

Feng Shiyan tried to sit up by himself, but found that half of his body was unconscious. He frowned, "I... why can't I move?"

The Grand Princess said with a gloomy expression, "His Majesty has been poisoned, and the toxins in his body have not been cleared yet."

Hearing that it was poisoning, Feng Shiyan finally remembered that he had fainted in the cold palace.

He looked around but didn't find Jiang Yanxi, so he asked, "Where's Concubine Xi?"

The sadness on the eldest princess' face faded a little, and she said, "I have ordered people to block the news that His Majesty has been poisoned."

Feng Shiyan knew that the eldest princess disliked Jiang Yanxi, and wanted to say a few more words but he really couldn't muster the strength, so he just said, "I want to see her."

Cangjiao Palace.

The robe in Jiang Yanxi's hand was almost done and was about to be completed.

She sewed very tightly, as if she had sewn all her thoughts into it.

The little maid who delivered the medicine to her that day has now been promoted to a senior maid in Cangjiao Palace.

There was no one else in the palace, and the maid lowered her voice and said, "Although the news has been blocked in Yangxin Palace, the imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital has not returned since entering the palace. It seems that the emperor is poisoned."

Jiang Yanxi didn't say anything, just focused on the embroidery in her hands. The needle tip pierced her fingertips and drew blood, but she didn't feel any pain. The blood stained the golden dragon claws she embroidered red, as if the golden dragon had lost a claw. The

palace maid narrowed her eyes slightly: "Are you sad, princess?"

"No." Jiang Yanxi finally spoke, she raised her head, her face was neither happy nor sad: "How can we leave the palace?"

The palace maid said: "It's hot summer now, the princess may as well leave the palace on the pretext of going to the temporary palace to escape the heat. As long as you leave the palace, our people can rescue the princess."

The snake venom was extracted by the old subordinates of the previous dynasty. They originally wanted Jiang Yanxi to poison Feng Shiyan, but they were afraid that Jiang Yanxi would not be able to escape, so they set their sights on the revengeful Queen Gao.

As soon as Jiang Yanxi said "OK", a palace servant outside the palace came to inform: "Your Majesty asked Concubine Xi to go to Yangxin Palace."

Jiang Yanxi and her maids' faces changed slightly.

Feng Shiyan was informed right after he was poisoned. Did he find out something?

When Jiang Yanxi arrived at Yangxin Palace in a state of anxiety, the eldest princess had already left. Feng Shiyan was sleeping on the couch. He was a man who was intimidating with his eyes on weekdays, but at this moment, he showed a bit of fragility.

Jiang Yanxi looked at his swollen back of the hand and the dark purple that spread to the inside of his sleeves. She couldn't explain why, and tears fell directly.

Feng Shiyan seemed to have sensed something. When he opened his eyelids and saw her crying, he struggled to raise his intact hand, as if to stroke her cheek.

Jiang Yanxi sat down beside the couch, leaned down slightly, and gently placed her face against his palm.

Feng Shiyan looked a little surprised, but more of it was joy. He asked her in a softer tone than ever before: "Why are you crying?"

Jiang Yanxi shook her head and refused to say more, but her tears were streaming.

Feng Shiyan's hand was a little hard to hold up for too long, and it fell to her abdomen with a look of regret. He said: "I have always wanted to have a child with you."

Jiang Yanxi closed her eyes and cried without saying a word.

They would not have children. After each time, she took medicine.

But at this moment, she was really thinking, what would it be like if they had a child?

Thinking of the end, Jiang Yanxi herself found it ridiculous. How could they have a future?

She lay down beside him and hugged him gently: "Your Majesty, the palace is stuffy and hot, which is not good for your recovery. Let's go to the temporary palace."

Feng Shiyan said: "Okay."

He seemed to know that he didn't have much time left, and tried his best to fulfill her wishes.

Jiang Yanxi's pupils trembled slightly, and a tear fell into the collar of his chest. She tried to hide the hoarseness in her voice: "Father is old, and I am worried about him in the prison. Can you dismiss him and let him return home?"

"I will pardon him from prison tomorrow, and he will still be the Minister of Revenue."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Jiang Yanxi's shoulders trembled, and she cried silently.

Feng Shiyan sighed softly and patted her shoulder gently: "Don't cry."

He didn't have much time to wake up, and soon fell asleep again.

Jiang Yanxi placed a kiss on his eyelids and choked up as she said, "Feng Shiyan, if there is an afterlife, let's be well... together."

In this life, there are too many things between them, such as the hatred of the country and the family feud.

If there is an afterlife, would it be great if she was born in an ordinary family, married to a king, and lived in love until old age? The

fate of the Daxuan Dynasty has come to an end. Feng Shuo led the heavy cavalry with an unstoppable force and should have attacked the capital directly. However, the Minghan Kingdom in the southern border saw the chaos in Daxuan and attacked again.

The Minghan Kingdom is equally powerful as the Daxuan Dynasty and has always been a strong enemy of Daxuan.

The momentum of this expedition is also fierce enough to capture three cities in the southern border at once, and then to Hengzhou, Feng Shuo's fiefdom in the south.

Feng Shuo had to readjust the battle situation. Now that the rebel alliance has surrounded the capital, the court is just relying on the last heavy cavalry to survive.

He ordered Chu Changping to continue besieging the capital, while he went to the southern border to fight against the Minghan Kingdom.

The war lasted too long, and the grain and grass were supported by the old grains of previous years, so it was not a big problem. The medicine for wounds was in urgent need.

The medicinal materials of the entire Daxuan Dynasty were plundered by various forces during the war. Every day, wounded soldiers died in the barracks due to wound inflammation and infection.

The military doctors were short of medicine, and except for some generals, they dared not give medicine to ordinary soldiers.

Jiang Yanyi's previous worries finally came true. Fortunately, the caravan that went out of the customs returned again and bought back a large number of medicinal materials.

The transportation of medicinal materials was a big deal, and Jiang Yanyi decided to go south in person.
