722, the final choice

The access address of "Aisu.com" website is

Ganqing Palace.

Duanpin had been kneeling outside for more than an hour, but he had never received the summons from Emperor Guangxi.

At this time, the door of the imperial bedroom was opened, and the person who came out was Doctor Chen, followed by Eunuch Cui.

Knowing that the imperial physician could not ask any news, Duan Ping simply looked at Eunuch Cui, saying with concern, "How is the emperor's condition?"

Eunuch Cui sighed, "The emperor summoned the empress to enter."

Duanpin stood up with her skirt, briefly tidied up her appearance, and followed Eunuch Cui into the inner hall.

The luxurious and wide bright yellow dragon couch was hung with a golden silk veil curtain, and you could vaguely see the person lying inside, which was Emperor Guangxi who had not been to court for a long time.

Eunuch Cui stepped forward and hung up the curtain, revealing Emperor Guangxi's thin side face, and the face showed the green color of a sick man.

He half-closed his eyes and breathed weakly, which was completely different from the mighty emperor who was majestic in the yard more than half a month ago.

Duanpin was shocked, "Didn't you say you are out of danger? Why haven't the emperor met yet?"

After Yang Fu left the palace that day, she thought a lot, from being shot in the arrow of Emperor Guangxi to being imprisoned by the prince, to being critically ill, and even being killed by Song Wei, everything was too coincidental, as if there was a pair of invisible pushers behind her, hiding the key figures and setting up an empty city plan to wait for them, and this person could only be Emperor Guangxi.

So in fact, the purpose of Duanpin coming to the Qing Palace today was to find out the true condition of Emperor Guangxi.

At the moment, Duanpin was stunned when he looked at Emperor Guangxi who seemed to be terminally ill on the dragon couch.

Everything was different from what she had speculated, and she seemed to have misunderstood something.

"Zhen'er..."

Emperor Guangxi's weak voice came.

Concubine Duan hurriedly stepped forward, "Your Majesty, I'm here."

Emperor Guangxi held her hand and turned his head to look at Eunuch Cui.

Eunuch Cui bowed and said, "Please take good care of the empress, and the servant will take his leave."

After Eunuch Cui left, Duan Ping moved his eyes to Emperor Guangxi again. He thought he was really hurt. He cleared a lot. He held her hand, his finger bones and wrist bones were particularly prominent, leaving only a layer of skin wrapped around him.

"I thought you wouldn't come."

"I've been here, but unfortunately I can't see Your Majesty."

Duanpin stuffed his hand back into the quilt, "It's cold outside, Your Majesty should be careful to keep warm."

Emperor Guangxi stared at her without saying a word.

Duan Ping was uncomfortable with him, "Why did Your Majesty look at the concubine like this?"

"Are I old?" Emperor Guangxi asked her.

Duanpin smiled and said, "The emperor thinks he is old because you worked too much for the Great Chu."

"I ascended the throne at a young age and have been forty years. I thought I could live forever." Emperor Guangxi's voice was extremely light, and the candlelight filled his eyes, but there was no warmth. "I'm still old, and an arrow would cost half of my life."

Duan Ping hesitated, "This arrow... was it really shot by the prince?"

Emperor Guangxi refused to comment, "Where is that rebellious son?"

"I have been imprisoned by Youzong's Mansion." Duanpin said.

Emperor Xi looked bad, and she hurriedly said, "Since the emperor has not recovered, don't think about those troubles, just keep it with peace of mind. I will come to serve the sick every day."

Emperor Guangxi coughed slightly and closed his eyes, "How did the queen fall into the water?"

"The Empress Xianfei has been found out that it is related to Xianfu Palace."

The queen fell ill, and during these days, the harem was full of the virtuous concubines in charge of the overall situation.

In the Xianfu Palace, Concubine Qi and Concubine Qing lived there. Concubine Qi was promoted to the queen and became Concubine Qing.

During the hunting days, Concubine Qing was left in the palace like Queen Qi.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Guangxi sneered, "It's all against the sky!"

"The dragon body is important, please calm down." Duanpin said, reaching out to stroke his chest.

Emperor Guangxi took two breaths, his face became darker and more serious, "As soon as I fell down, I had an accident one after another. Now, I can trust the only one Zhen'er, you, are you."

Duanpin lowered his eyelids, "What do the emperor wants to say, just tell me to do it."

Emperor Guangxi said: "I have a secret letter that I urgently need to send to the mansion of the six kings."

Duanpin's heart beats thunderously, "What the emperor means is to let the concubine go in person?"

Emperor Guangxi nodded, "I have said that I will not believe anyone except you."

Such heavy trust made Duanbin feel very uncomfortable.

"It's in the silver box on the ancient shelf behind you." Emperor Guangxi pointed, "The situation is urgent, I hope you can complete my instructions as soon as possible."

Duanpin stood up and walked towards the Bogu Shelf. Sure enough, he saw the silver box that Emperor Guangxi mentioned, with a Panlong tattoo on the body, which looked very luxurious.

"The box is not locked, the key and the secret letter are inside."

After Emperor Guangxi finished speaking, he yawned, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Duanpin held the box and stood there for a while without moving.

——

After leaving the Qianqing Palace, Duanpin did not go to the six houses as soon as possible, but instead asked someone to send a message to Yang Fu.

When Yang Fu learned that Emperor Guangxi asked Duanpin to go to the six families to deliver secret letters, he rushed over immediately.

"How could the emperor ask the empress to do this in person?" Yang Fu looked puzzled.

"The emperor said that he would not believe anyone except me." Duanpin stretched out his hand and stroked the complicated box, "But I always feel that he is testing me."

"How can I see it?"

"Look." Duanpin pointed to the box and said, "It is not locked, the secret letter is inside. If I have a different intention, I will definitely open the contents of the secret letter in private."

This reminded Yang Fu, "The emperor sent messages to the six families at this time. The content must not be irrelevant nonsense. Since the emperor has not locked it, the empress will open it and see what if it is?"

Duanpin shook his head, "I know it's a temptation but still take risks. If something really happens, I will regret it too late."

Yang Fu bowed, "Empress, you don't have to do it yourself. Just leave this to the old minister."

After taking a few steps forward, Yang Fu held the box with both hands and took it to the Eight Immortals table, slowly opened it, and there was a lock, a key and a secret letter inside.

The secret letter has not been sealed with wax, which is obviously seducing people to peek.

Seeing Yang Fu take out the secret letter, Duan Ping's face changed, "Uncle, you can't open it!"

"The Emperor is forcing you to make a choice." Yang Fu said calmly: "If you are loyal enough and do not open the box, then this secret letter will be sent to the hands of the 6 kings safely, but if you peek, you will definitely cut it off halfway. The Empress think carefully, what exactly is written in the secret letter to make you react like this?"

"I don't know what I wrote." Duanpin didn't want to think about it, "I only know that my uncle can't read it."

The secret letter written by the emperor is equivalent to the imperial edict.

Peeking and intercepting means resisting the order and deceiving the emperor.

From the first time Yang Fu plotted against Song Wei in order to avenge the Liang family, Duanbin knew that the Yang family would never turn back.

At this point, Yang Fu's ambitions have completely outperformed her perception, and she doesn't want him to make mistakes again and again.

Yang Fu knew what Duanpin was worried about, so he looked over with a secret letter, with a smile on his face, "In order to pave the way for the second prince, I started planning in my mother's womb. Now I'm only one step away from success, but the empress advised me to stop. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"

"I just don't want my uncle to go all the way to darkness."

"My Lady, don't forget that there are not only old ministers on this road, but also you and the second prince. At the first full moon banquet of the third prince, Empress Qi almost threw the child to the ground, thanks to you. The Empress thought, does the emperor really not know the truth? It is because he knows that he gave you a difficult problem today, giving you the last chance to make a choice. If you choose the right one, he may save your life, but if you choose the wrong one, it will not only you and the second prince, but the Yang clan must follow you to bury!"

Duanpin pursed her lips, her eyebrows and eyes were full of entanglement.

"If the Empress doesn't believe it, take a closer look."

Yang Fu had already taken out the paper from the secret letter, and after reading it, he sent it to Duanpin.

Duanpin lowered his eyes and saw eight words written on the paper: Yang's plot against him, and his crime should be punished.

The spine froze, Duanpin's eyes fixed on the eight words, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.

Yang Fu slowly stuffed the paper back, "If the Empress cut off this secret letter, it would betray the emperor and deceive the emperor. But if you send the secret letter to the 6th Duke, the Yang family will be finished. How to choose? The Empress might as well consider it carefully."

Duanpin insisted: "Since the emperor is testing me, the contents in the secret letter cannot be counted. As long as I send the things to complete the test, there will be no accident in the Yang family."

Old Yang Fu's face sank, "Is the Empress planning to bet on my entire clan's life?"

"What do you think?" Duanpin said: "The emperor obviously has a backhand. Once we stop the letter, we will really fall into the trap. What will happen at that time is not certain!"

"Is that right?" Yang Fu walked to the candlestick, raised his hand, and the orange-yellow flame swallowed the secret chamber into ashes.

Taking out a veil to wipe his hands, Yang Fu turned around, with a grim smile on his lips, "There are people in the imperial hall. As long as I don't give orders, it will be difficult for the emperor to think about it. If he doesn't force the palace at this time, the empress still wants to wait for the prince to come out and raise him as his own son?"

Duan Ping was so shocked that she took a breath, "Imperial Bedroom... Are you talking about Eunuch Cui?"

On the day Song Wei's coffin returned to Beijing, it was the posthumous title that Yang Fu asked for the imperial edict. Duanpin heard from the people below that Eunuch Cui personally took the man to change the coffin.

Before, Emperor Guangxi said that he had never believed in the previous dynasty and harem.

Could it be that Eunuch Cui was really bribed by his uncle?

Anyone who has been serving the emperor for so long can be bribed. What has my uncle done in private over the years?

The more Duanbin thought about it, the more frightened he became.

Looking at the empty box, Yang Fu raised his lips and sneered, "The Emperor asked you to deliver a secret letter to the six kingdoms to punish our tribes. Then you can use this box to bring the throne-sentence book in. As long as the seal of the jade seal of the kingdom is stamped, we will be done."

Seeing that Duanpin was still hesitating, Yang Fu said, "Empress, don't worry, the old minister has already done it. With Eunuch Cui from the side, there will be no trouble."
