Chapter 70 Strong Alliance

Fushou Palace, an empty main hall, stood two rows of eunuchs and maids who were respectfully waiting to be sent at any time. In the hall, eight large gold pillars propped up the whole beam. In the hall, the floor of a needle was a little harsh. Occasionally, only the sound of chess pieces touching the white jade chessboard, and the last one fell. Heizi has become surrounded, and Baizi is in a dying predicament.

The Empress Dowager, who holds the black son, owed her body, and her eyes were full of leisurely. Even though she knew that in fact, the maids and eunuchs outside had been replaced by Sima Rui, the purpose was to monitor her words and deeds.

"sister, you lost again." The Empress Dowager took a sip of tea and looked at the old lady of Ningwang Mansion sitting cross-legged in front of the seat covered with wool felt. "In terms of chess, you have never won me. You are too big-hearted and aggressive. That's why I lose to you every time I hunt. I lack the courage you have, and you are not as indifferent as me."

The old lady also smiled: "People who can do the position of the Empress Dowager should naturally be indifferent, and I'm just an ordinary old woman. I just want to watch my children and grandchildren all over the hall. For them, I can keep fighting." The old lady raised her eyebrows slightly and put a white boy made of white jade in a seemingly inconspicuous place. In an instant, the situation on the chessboard was completely reversed, and the white son turned defeat into victory.

The Empress Dowager frowned slightly and seemed to be a little surprised, and then said sadly, "You forgot that my favorite Princess Qinghe is no longer there, and I don't have any children and grandchildren to protect."

"What about Changxi? Counting up, although he is the son of Jing Donghua, the prodigal son of Xixia, he was also born in October. His body is also the blood of our royal family." The old lady's old fingers played with a white man and a black man in her hand back and forth. "Evil can't beat the right after all, sister, you are here. Fushou Palace has been quiet for too long, but I have thought that sometimes it is not time that time has polished your fighting spirit, but you have given up on yourself.

"I'm old." The Empress Dowager closed her eyes, and the maid beside her immediately put on a warm fox coat cloak for the Empress Dowager.

The old lady lowered her eyes and sighed, "The country is not old, I dare not rest, sister, how about you?"

Outside the Qiankun Palace, Sima Han, who had already lived outside the palace and was named the King of Fu, suddenly took the princess Qin Yuzhao into the palace to visit Emperor Zhaoxuan. The eunuch with a raw face all the way made Sima Han more sure of the information given to him by the mysterious man. Sima Rui had secretly defected in the palace.

Sima Han didn't want to bring Qin Yuzhao, but Qin Yuzhao always insisted.

"The husband and wife are birds in the same forest. I can't let me escape alone in the face of disaster. Only where I can see you can I feel at ease."

Outside the hall, Sima Han was in a stalemate with the imperial doctor. Sima Han still looked like a childish temper and said impatiently to the imperial doctor who was guarding outside the hall, "I don't care. My father is sick. I'm worried. I just want to go in."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has fallen asleep. If you are so noisy, it will only disturb your Majesty's rest." The leader is Dr. Zhao, the leader of the imperial hospital, and it is the nail that Sima Rui has been ambushed in the imperial hospital for a long time.

Qin Yuzhao also said, "Doctor Zhao, the prince came eagerly as soon as he heard that the emperor was not feeling well. You have to let us do our filial piety."

"I will convey the filial piety of the fourth brother." A male voice broke the deadlock. Sima Rui came leisurely from the side of the palace outside the hall, with a strong smile between his eyebrows, which really looked like a brother cherished his brother.

"Third brother." Sima Han looked naive. When he saw Sima Rui, he greeted him and pointed to Dr. Zhao and said to Sima Rui, "Third brother, this bad slave actually stopped me from going in to see my father. You scold him for me."

Sima Rui glanced at Dr. Zhao and persuaded Sima Han with a kind face, "Well, Dr. Zhao's words are reasonable. If you go in now, you will only disturb your father's rest. At that time, your father will blame him, but be careful of your buttocks."

"I have to go in." Sima Han showed an angry face and waved to a very inconspicuous-looking little man beside him and said, "You open the way, we will break in."

"Come on, stop the fourth prince." Sima Rui suddenly changed his face. Anyway, he has reached this point. He doesn't care about doing more.

"Who dares." With an angry shout, the voice of the angry woman was like a fixed spell, which stunned all the people present. The person who came was none other than the empress dowager who had been taking care of the Fushou Palace for many years. The empress dowager was dressed in gorgeous clothes and looked magnificent in the winter sun. She sat on the sedan chair carried by 16 people, from above Then look down at what happened in front of the Qiankun Palace.

After such a moment, Sima Rui realized that the reason why he was so arrogant and bold was that he knew that the Empress Dowager had been indifferent for a long time. Now, the Empress Dowager can walk out of the Fushou Palace so arrogantly, and none of the informant he placed in the Fushou Palace came to tell him in advance.

"I've met the Empress Dowager." Sima Rui knelt down to salute, and the maids outside the hall and Dr. Zhao also kowtowed one after another.

The Empress Dowager glanced at Sima Rui and suddenly said, "Just now, who touched Han'er and didn't let him in?"

Just now, the two eunuchs stopped Sima Han and looked at each other, and as soon as their bodies trembling, they began to suddenly kowtow to the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager didn't see it, but just turned to the old lady of Ningwang Mansion and said, "Sister, I heard that there is a maid named Mandarin duck beside you who is very good at it. Can I borrow it?"

The old lady silently agreed.

"Manna, go and unload the arms of the two slaves who touched the fourth prince."

"The empress dowager spares her life, the empress dowager spares her life."

The Empress Dowager did not have any pity: "I am a slave. How can I be compared with my master? I just want to tell you that people still need to look at their ability and identity, and don't do things that they are not sure about." After saying that, the Empress Dowager's eyes were thrown at Sima Rui. Sima Rui clearly felt the hostility of the Empress Dowager, and the appearance of the Empress Dowager was a trick he missed.

He thought that he had arranged everything for a long time. First, he used Qin Yun's makeup to coax the support of the Qin family and the remaining killer forces of the Dou family, and then cooperated with Princess Ning. Although he failed later, he also decisively solved the big trouble of Princess Ning, and Princess Zhaojing used her to first eradicate the sudden Leng Suxin. Xixia jumped out to marry the princess.

Sima Rui has a characteristic of doing things. He will deal with the person who has used it as soon as possible, so when he coaxed and tricked Princess Zhaojing to agree to cooperate with him in such a court scandal and sent Sima Qiu to the patriarch's mansion, he immediately sent someone to quench the most fierce one on Princess Zhaojing's hairpin. The cold poison dispersed. It is estimated that Princess Zhaojing can't survive tonight, and when others find her body the next day, they will only think that Princess Zhaojing can't stand the humiliation and hang herself.

The empress dowager got off the sedan chair and wanted to go in, but Sima Rui suddenly knelt on the ground: "Empress dowager, my father is ill, and the empress dowager rushed in. I'm afraid of being infected with illness, which is harmful to the empress dowager's phoenix body."

"The emperor is the son of the mourning family. Even if he is sick, the mourning family is not afraid. Get out of the way." The Empress Dowager's attitude was very resolute, "Are you still stopping them? Do you want to be unloaded of your two eunuchs?"

Sima Han suddenly had confidence and shouted to the little one just now, "Duofu, open the way ahead."

Seeing such a large group of people entering the inner hall like this, Sima Rui stood with his hands and frowned at the end. Dr. Zhao, who was beside him, quickly stepped forward and whispered, "Your Highness, please rest assured that Weichen has given the emperor ecstasy for seven or 49 days in a row. Now the emperor is the time to be sleepy. Even if he wakes up, as long as Weichen The rosemary on his body continues to emit a fragrance. What we say, the emperor will do.

Sima Rui frowned and put down his worries: "This is the best. Remember, we are in the same boat."

Dr. Zhao immediately expressed his loyalty and said, "The order of the third prince is to obey."

In the hall, red sandalwood and the front of the front, the empress dowager stopped in front of the dragon couch where the emperor closed his eyes and rested. She turned around and told the palace maids and eunuchs around, "You all go down."

The leading eunuch was a little embarrassed: "The imperial doctor ordered that there were few people around the emperor, slaves..."

"Do you mean that you can't take good care of the emperor?" The Empress Dowager's eyebrows were irresistible majesty. The people below took a cold breath and pushed each other down one by one. When they met Sima Rui standing outside the hall, they looked embarrassed. The eunuch who just stood up hurriedly explained, "It's the Empress Dowager..."

"I know. You all went down."

While talking, the mandarin duck beside the old lady had come to close the door of the palace and deliberately closed Sima Rui. Through the red sandalwood wooden door, Sima Rui sneered. If he was caught so easily, how could he have the confidence to arrange such a big situation?

The Empress Dowager hurriedly picked up Emperor Zhaoxuan in front of the dragon couch and called him one by one, but Emperor Zhaoxuan seemed to be asleep and did not respond.

"How could this happen?" The Empress Dowager brought the old lady of Ning Wangfu over.

The old lady frowned and said worriedly, "I'm afraid it's medicine."

The Empress Dowager held Emperor Zhaoxuan's hand and suddenly trembled. Witch ecstasy and other things have been banned in Daqi for a long time, but she didn't expect...

"Maybe you can let me have a try." Duofu, who had been following Sima Han, suddenly came forward. He just looked like a little man with an ordinary face, but at this moment, did he have any real ability?

"Sister, do you see?"

The Empress Dowager said very cautiously, "Why do you believe in your family?"

A inexplicable smile suddenly appeared on Duofu's face. He grabbed the edge of his chin with his hand, suddenly pulled hard, and took off the mask that had been covering his face.

The first person to react was the old lady.

"Changxi? Is that you?" The old lady covered her mouth and sighed in a low voice.
