Chapter 268 - I'll Deal with You Later!
“Clang!” The shattering sound continued for the ti it took to make a cup of tea. When the gate was opened, the court lady and eunuch who were kneeling outside the hall saw the ssy ground.
The Chief Minister Qu led the servants in, urging them to quickly clean up the wreckage. He smiled as he gathered in front of the angry Emperor, and braced himself to say: “Your Majesty, please calm your anger. The dragon body is important.
The emperor loves the Fourth Prince the most. He would probably be happier if he heard this.
The emperor raised his head and glanced at him, then suddenly extended a bloody hand to grab Chief Minister Qu by the neck, “You guys… They were all traitors! All of you have betrayed ! I will kill you all! “
“Cough, cough …” Huang … Your Majesty, this servant did not … “Your majesty, you're injured. This servant will go get an imperial physician …”
“Anyone who dares to betray us must die!”
“Yes, yes …” This servant swears to the heavens that I will never dare to betray the Emperor! “
The Emperor's eyes were bloodshot and his sword-shaped eyebrows slanted to the side. He looked extrely fierce as he let go and laughed loudly. “All of you want
to die!” They all want to seize my throne, dream! You're dreaming! I will kill you all! “
Chief Minister Qu sat on the ground as his fat body trembled. He knelt on the ground and hugged the emperor's leg as he cried, “Your Majesty, please don't be angry.
The palace maids and eunuchs in the great hall were all frightened like birds that had been frightened out of their wits. The Emperor's current temperant was ever-changing. One mont he could reward you heavily and the next mont he could take your life.
Moreover, from the looks of his current state, he seed to have gone insane. It was truly frightening.
“Cough, cough …” You ants, how dare you dream about my mountains … I will kill you all! ” The Emperor kicked Chief Minister Qu away and wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve. A trace of blood stained the sleeves of his dragon robe.
The emperor stared at the bloodstain for a while before suddenly shouting in fear, “I've been poisoned …” I must have been poisoned! Soone … The imperial physician! “Investigate for !”
Chief Minister Qu crawled over while clutching his aching chest. When he saw the bloodstain, he was so frightened that his soul left his body. He hurriedly ran out, “Your servant will go right now!”
The eunuchs and maids within the great hall didn't even dare to breathe loudly. If the Emperor was really poisoned, then they would all die. The fear of death engulfed the great hall, causing them to feel uneasy.
Imperial Physician Li arrived soon after. He first gave a large gift before going forward to take a look at the emperor's pulse.
“Has Zhen been poisoned again?” Isn't it? “Those bastards all want
to die, they all want
to die early …”
Imperial Physician Li checked his pulse obediently, pretending he hadn't heard these words. After a long while, he finally let go of the emperor's wrist and hesitantly said, “Your majesty, you weren't poisoned, it's just that the side effects of the dicine from last ti are still present. This humble subject told you that you shouldn't get too excited right now.”
“He wasn't poisoned?” The emperor obviously didn't believe him. “If he wasn't poisoned, why would he cough blood? You can't find it out! Soone, call everyone in the hospital over! “
But his body was getting weaker and weaker. Even though the poison had been cured, it had already deeply damaged the emperor's body. If he were to get angry now, it could lead to all kinds of illnesses.
The people from the hospital soon arrived. They examined the Emperor's pulse in sequence and ca to the sa conclusion as Imperial Physician Li.
The emperor was sowhat quieter now. He swallowed a bowl of dicine and sat on the dragon throne to rest. The imperial physicians didn't dare to leave until his pulse stabilized. Only then did they heave a sigh of relief.
The Emperor waved his hand and ordered them to leave. Other than the beds and cabinets, the rest of the furniture in the huge palace was broken. Although the things had been cleaned out, there was not enough ti to repair them.
“Your majesty, you have to take care of your dragon body!” If we are not angry, won't it be a blessing for those people to get angry? ” The Chief Minister Qu took a blanket and covered the Emperor's body, carefully waiting upon him.
The corners of the emperor's lips curled up. “That's right, Zhen will be fine!” I want to live for a hundred years! Let those who wish to die watch with wide eyes. “
When the Chief Minister Qu heard this, he knew that the emperor had cald down. The boulder in his heart had finally dropped.
Even though his current status was high, life and death was in the hands of the emperor. His situation could not be compared to Young Eunuch's.
After the Chief Minister Qu left, the emperor sat quietly. Not long later, a figure jumped down from the roof and knelt in front of the emperor.
“Your majesty, your subordinate has done sothing unfavorable!”
“Tell , what was the situation back then?”
“Yes, this subordinate followed our previous plans and entered Huo Zhengquan's study. We found the book, and also the letter inside the book. Your subordinate was too careless. “
None of them expected that the letter would be swapped. If Huo Zhengquan had discovered it earlier, why didn't he just take it away and spend more effort to make a replacent letter?
“We'll send Huo Yidao to the palace tonight, we need to properly ask him. Don't let us know that he did sothing, or else …” The emperor's eyes were full of malice as he thought about what to do next.
Before the Emperor could co up with a plan, a mother and son ca to the Huo Family gate.
The woman held a one-year-old boy in her arms as she knelt in front of the Huo Family gate and cried loudly, “Please do well, go inside and tell him that this child is truly Fifth Master Huo's. Really, if you don't believe , you can ask him to co out and recognize you.”
This concerned the bloodline of the Huo Family, so the guards did not dare to rashly make their own decisions.
Huo Yiloong, who was in the study room, was shocked speechless. He looked straight into Huo Zhengquan's sharp eyes and his scalp tingled with numbness.
“Father …” “I … I'll go take a look …” Don't let him find out it's fake, or else he won't be able to kill them!
This kind of big event, it was obviously impossible for Huo Yiloong to handle it alone. Huo Zhengquan asked the Huo Yiming to follow him to prevent him from causing any trouble.
Yin Xu followed along as if he was watching a show, the butler hurried over, and with beads of perspiration on his forehead, he said, “Young masters, he has been invited to the Flower Hall.”
Huo Yiloong was furious, “They haven't even been appraised, why did they bring them in? “What if it's a fake, how do you expect others to see it?”
“Fifth master, this man is muttering loudly at the door. All the passersby are watching him, it's such an ugly scene.” In any case, he had made it clear outside the door that if it was really the fifth young master's child, then Huo Family would definitely be responsible. If it wasn't, then he could just send soone to the yan to report the case.
Huo Yiloong ran into the Flower Hall, followed by a group of people.
When he entered the door, he discovered that Mrs. Huo was already there. He lowered his head and looked at the child, as if he was trying to figure out if the child was her grandson.
“Lord Fifth …” A coquettish voice woke everyone up. Huo Yiloong looked towards the direction of the voice and saw an enchanting beauty looking at him with tears in her eyes.
Huo Yiloong frowned and thought, then rembered who the woman was.
Once he heard that a woman of the best quality ca to the flowerbed, and was urged to go to see it by a few good brothers. Then he thought that this woman was not bad looking, with a sweet voice, a graceful figure, and a good guqin, so he kept her for a while.
However, there was no shortage of concubines in his family, and he didn't go there often either. Even if he did go there, he would make her play the zither and stay the night even less.
After that, he had a new person, so he naturally forgot about this woman. When the people from the Flower Hall ca to ask for money, he even sent people out to beat her up. After that, he never saw this woman again.
Mrs. Huo had finished appraising and handed the child over to Huo Yiloong, “That's right, it's very similar to when you were young. Let soone carry the child away.
Huo Yiloong took the child in panic, he stared at the child for a while, but he could not see how it looked like his own, but since the Mrs. Huo had spoken, he was too lazy to bother with it.
She looked at Fifth Master Huo with tears shining on her face, “I definitely don't rember, I was forced to co here because I couldn't continue to live. My child has grown up, and I've lived a difficult life, so I'm afraid I can't support him.”
“Oh.” Huo Yiloong nodded indifferently and instructed the butler, “Go and give her the five hundred silver, treat it as the reward for giving birth to her child.”
The woman was delighted at first, but then she said with tears streaming down her face, “This humble servant's status is low. I don't dare to dream of being your wife or concubine. I only hope that I can stay by your side and serve you.”
Huo Yiloong stared at her in puzzlent, “Do you really think that with your status, you aren't even qualified to be a slave?
Seeing that the other party was about to cry again, Huo Yiloong drove him away impatiently, “Enough, take the money and scram. Who knows why you wanted to give birth to my child in the first place? Now that the child has been acknowledged, you can go wherever you want to go! “
The lady rushed over and knelt at Huo Yiloong's feet, “Lord Fifth, please take
in, I have nowhere else to go.”
“Woman, you're really strange. I'll give you five hundred taels of silver. You can go anywhere you want. What do you an you have nowhere to go?” Although he could not buy a large house in the capital with this amount of money, it was enough for him to live for half a lifeti in a small place.
Mrs. Huo looked at this, then looked at that, and said: “Butler, put the person in the servant room first, we can talk about this later.”
“Mother, why did you …” Huo Yiloong looked at Mrs. Huo in disbelief. How co he didn't know that his mother was so caring?
Mrs. Huo glared at him, leaving behind a sentence, “I'll deal with you later!” Then he left with the child in his arms.
