Dangerous Medical Princess - Chapter 335

That night, Zhang Ping entered the palace behind Lian Gongjin. As soon as he entered the palace, Zhang Ping arched his hand at Liangong brocade, and quickly took out a black towel from his sleeve and put it on his face. He was dressed in black today, and now he was in the night. There was no bodyguard on the way.

This scene is too strange. It is reasonable to say that the Empress Dowager should strengthen the guard during her funeral. But in the Qianxi Palace at this time, except for the white palace lanterns, half of them could not be seen. At this time, a woman’s cry came faintly from the palace. Zhang Ping immediately and warily hid aside to watch.

However, in front of him, Zhang Ping was shocked. The Empress Dowager’s aunt Tao was sitting on the coffin with a bowl of black soup in her hand. She burst into tears. Zhang Ping suddenly felt bad. He jumped forward and knocked over the medicine bowl in aunt Tao’s hand. The black soup suddenly overturned on the ground and came out with thick white foam.

Aunt Tao raised her eyes and looked at him. Her pathetic expression suddenly became ugly. If you look at it carefully, aunt Tao’s face seems to have a trace of extreme anger. She is almost ready to spray. She said almost immediately, “what did the emperor ask you to do?”

Her tone was very disrespectful. If Lian Gong Jin is here, I’m afraid he will be surprised. Aunt Tao is an old lady beside the Empress Dowager. She always behaves properly. How ever did she lose her manners like this. What’s more, listening to her tone, she was actually hating the emperor. Zhang Ping felt a hint. Seeing that he didn’t speak, aunt Tao suddenly sneered: “what the emperor asked the old slave to do, the old slave has already done. What’s more, is it not enough for the emperor to bury his mother-in-law’s life by himself? Now, is it happy to ask the old slave to strangle the princess in prison?”

When Zhang Ping heard this, his mouth under the cloth suddenly opened. His whole body was shaking violently with fear. However, aunt Tao is so angry that she can’t care about the etiquette. She has been serving the Empress Dowager for so many years. It is obvious that she is a servant. In fact, the Empress Dowager has always been very kind to her. She has long been treated by her relatives. Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager survived the intrigues of the harem, but finally died in the hands of the child who looked at Zhang Da. This is ridiculous.

With this thought, aunt Tao stretched out her hand and grabbed Zhang Ping’s face. Zhang Ping stepped back in a hurry, but suddenly knocked down the brazier on one side. The fire immediately lit up the curtain next to the curtain, and the skyrocketing fire immediately began to burn. Zhang Ping was so shocked that he was about to turn around and run away. Just at this time, aunt Tao suddenly jumped on him and put him under the whole body. Zhang Ping was terrified, but aunt Tao ignored him. She grabbed his face and pulled the cloth off his face. Zhang Ping subconsciously wanted to block it with his hand, but aunt Tao pulled it down.

When she saw his face clearly, aunt Tao was stunned. Zhang Ping was embarrassed. As soon as he was ready to open his mouth, the beam on the top suddenly made a crackling sound. Zhang Ping quickly pushed away aunt Tao and rolled forward. The beam came down with sparks. Aunt Tao watched as the Empress Dowager’s coffin was set alight. She rushed madly and burst into tears.

Zhang Ping was so anxious that he said in a loud voice, “aunt Tao, I came here to investigate on the order of Lord Lian. What’s the matter?” As he spoke, Zhang Ping took out the waist tag of Lian Gong Jin.

Aunt Tao believed this, suddenly rushed over quickly, shed tears, and pushed Zhang Ping out. Zhang Ping suddenly fell to the ground. Before he got up, he heard a huge bang. Aunt Tao was pressed on the pillar and spat out a mouthful of blood. Zhang Ping was about to reach out to pull her, but aunt Tao suddenly said in a loud voice: “the emperor, the emperor killed the Empress Dowager!”

Zhang Ping was in the same place. Just at this time, the hustle and bustle of footsteps kept coming here. Zhang Ping looked at Aunt Tao hesitantly. Aunt Tao obviously heard the noise outside, and immediately asked Zhang Ping to go. Zhang Ping clenched his teeth, but after all, he turned around and ran out quickly along the side door. When he completely ran out of Qianxi palace, Zhang Ping pulled off the black cloth on his face. He was suddenly patted on the shoulder. Zhang Ping was so frightened that he turned his head immediately.

Han Lin stood beside him and said with a smile, “what’s the matter with your entering the palace?”

Zhang Ping’s face was pale and his forehead was full of sweat. Hearing Han Lin’s question, he hesitated for a moment and didn’t know how to speak. Lian Gong Jin came over from a distance. His face was gloomy. Zhang Ping took a look and immediately lowered his head. Han Lin also felt a cold breath spread against his skin. He looked back and saw that even Gong Jinzheng was squinting at him. Han Lin saluted immediately, then left quickly.

The fire spread in an instant, and all the guards and eunuchs in the palace were pouring water with buckets. After a long busy time, the fire in Qianxi palace was completely put out. In the whole process, Gong Jin didn’t say a word. He stood there, his fists creaking.

The next day, a rumor spread in the market. The common people say that it is the emperor’s failure to cultivate the holy virtue, his bad virtue, and heaven’s disaster that leads to the burning of Qianxi palace. This is because the Empress Dowager was kind-hearted and disdained to be associated with the unworthy descendants. She voluntarily offered her body in order to protect the people of the Northern Qi Dynasty. Originally, there were only one or two people who said these words, but later they even intensified. When the emperor heard the news in the palace, he was so angry that he spat out three mouthfuls of blood and kept patting the bedside.Soon there will be a badminton army to seal. But there are so many people in the world, even if we have caught a few so-called “mobs”. The emperor used all means to suppress this matter, but also to maintain the surface calm. Since the emperor began to refine medicine, he has been searching for people’s fat and cream. In the beginning, it was only a small part, but later it became more and more excessive. First, the palace of the Empress Dowager was burned, followed by the Qianxi palace of the Empress Dowager. The imperial palace of the Northern Qi Dynasty has always been indestructible. In a short period of time, there were two fires, which is really incredible. The people were secretly talking about the emperor, but no one dared to say it face to face.

The common people are like this. Since the emperor dares to plunder them, he will naturally bear their anger. Now it’s time for retribution. At this stage, the prince’s behavior appears dignified. Lian Gong Jin leaned against the window, looked at the low stream of pedestrians, raised his lips, and said, “has Mr. Zhang made any progress?”

“I’m incompetent.” Sweat oozed from Zhang Ping’s forehead. Ever since he came out of Qianxi palace, Zhang Ping’s heart has been in his throat. He is afraid that the man in front of him will kill him. He thought Lord Lian would doubt him when he heard that. However, even the Lord immediately believed it.

In an instant, Zhang Ping understood. I’m afraid that the emperor and even the LORD have already gone through a turbulent situation. However, what Zhang Ping couldn’t understand was why the Emperor didn’t take the hand to eradicate Lian Gongjin. Instead, he let him go. Of course, Zhang Ping would not expect that it was only because Lian Gongjin still held the covenant made by the former Emperor in his hand. But in the past half a month, Zhang Ping has tried every means, even sneaking into Qianxi palace, which has already been burned down, and has no way to find a clue. Except for Aunt Tao’s words.

However, before that, aunt Tao personally sent the princess lian to prison. It’s really strange. Since aunt Tao knew that the emperor had killed the empress dowager, how could she not stop her. Even, aunt Tao obeyed the emperor’s orders and left a confession to identify Lian. So, what’s the meaning of her last sentence?
