Chapter 197 Gua~
He Zhaoxian and He Jianxing were talking about how Xiao Haizhou wanted to blackmail the emperor in order to control the princes and ascend to the supreme throne himself.
But this is not the case.
The reason why Xiao Haizhou blocked the palace gates was because the young emperor Liang Yuansheng...
Poisoned!!
The poison was administered in the afternoon and the door was locked in the evening.
At first, Xiao Haizhou didn't think it was poisoning, but just thought that Liang Yuansheng had some acute illness.
As a result, before the imperial physician could enter the palace, someone had already heard the news and brought people with him, rushing towards Xuanwu Gate regardless of their lives.
The one who wanted to break into the palace was Yuzhang Marquis.
Yuzhang Hou Xu Da is already in his seventies and has not come within a hundred feet of the palace gate for decades.
I don't know what went wrong with him today, but he found a trivial excuse and took the jade belt bestowed by the late emperor, knelt outside the Xuanwu Gate and asked to see the little emperor.
If he had submitted a normal letter requesting a meeting, there would have been nothing to say, but as soon as Yuzhang Marquis Xu Da got off the carriage, he knelt at the palace gate, attracting the attention of passers-by.
If you say you have no bad intentions, no one will believe you.
The imperial guards guarding the gate did not dare to let anyone in, nor did they dare to take action against Marquis Yuzhang, so they quickly sent someone to notify Xiao Haizhou.
Naturally, Xiao Haizhou would not let this man go.
The imperial physician has not yet come to a conclusion on Liang Yuansheng's condition. If Xu Da is allowed into the palace, wouldn't that just be looking for trouble and causing trouble for yourself? ?
So Xiao Haizhou refused without thinking.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Xiao Haizhou finished speaking, Yuzhang Marquis Xu Da got up from the ground in front of everyone and started to throw a tantrum.
Yuzhang Hou held his old waist with one hand and pointed at Xiao Haizhou's nose with the other, scolding him for a whole incense stick of time.
They kept saying the same two sentences over and over again, which roughly meant "Xiao Haizhou, you covet the throne and have bad intentions. There is no good person in your Xiao family."
At first, Xiao Haizhou didn't want to bother with Xu Da because he was an old minister of the previous dynasty.
But the thought of old feelings made Marquis Yuzhang even more aggressive, and he went straight from scolding Xiao Haizhou to scolding Empress Dowager Xiao Rui.
When Xiao Haizhou heard Yuzhang Hou mention the matter of establishing the empress, his expression changed instantly, and a chilling coldness appeared all over his body:
"Marquis Yuzhang must be tired after talking for so long. Why don't we go to the dark building of Xuanlin Guard to have a cup of hot tea?"
Marquis Yuzhang had not been involved in the court for several years. This time he was instigated by others to be the first to come out. He had no idea how powerful Xiao Haizhou was.
When he heard Xiao Haizhou asking someone to arrest him, instead of being afraid, he took two steps forward without hesitation, as if to say, "If you dare to touch me, just try."
"Xiao family kid, do you still have the law in your eyes?!"
"I was personally appointed as a hero who protected the country by the late emperor. How can you just arrest me if you want to?!"
Xu Da thought that Xiao Haizhou would not dare to do anything to him in front of so many people.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Haizhou raised his eyelids and glanced at him lightly, then found a fresh and hot crime for Yuzhang Hou:
"Marquis Yuzhang was ignorant of etiquette and frightened the fish raised by Concubine Li. He committed the crime of disrespecting the royal family. He should be dragged away for now."
Marquis Yuzhang is almost eighty years old. If it were someone else, he would just be pretending to be awesome and trying to scare him.
But since Xiao Haizhou had spoken, the Xuanlin Guards really started to attack as if no one was around.
However, just as the Xuanlin Guards dragged Yuzhang Hou for a while in front of the palace gate, he was frightened to death and passed out, unable to make any sound anymore.
"Who is this old man? How dare he challenge Xuanlin Guards without any eyes? Is he tired of living?"
"Who knows? Maybe he didn't check the almanac before going out. Why did he offend Lord Xiao when he could have offended anyone else?"
"In my opinion, since he is already so old, we should just not save him and take him home to have a feast!"
"Hahaha, you really don't mind watching the fun."
"Hey, wait, am I the only one who is curious? The fish raised by Concubine Li... where did the fish come from under this wall?"
The crowd suddenly fell silent for a second.
Later, someone pointed to something at the base of the wall and asked tentatively, "Could it be that this is what Lord Xiao is talking about?"
The toad he pointed at rolled its eyes and jumped away cursing:
Quack~
You are the fish, your whole family is fish!!

Just after midnight, Zhao Mianmian was dug out from under her bed.
Dong Zhu hurriedly helped Zhao Mianmian put on her clothes, and put a white fox fur scarf around her neck. Then he respectfully escorted her to the front hall.
"Are you the last disciple of Bai Yao, the master of Zhoutian Medical Sect, Zhao Mianmian?"
Zhao Mianmian was sleeping soundly and was suddenly forced to turn on the computer, so her brain didn't react at all.
When she heard someone asking her a question, she nodded subconsciously.
It was not until a series of "Fuck!" flashed across the public screen that she shuddered and came to her senses a little more clearly.
Zhao Mianmian rubbed her eyes and looked at the man standing in the front hall of the He family with a confused look on her face.
Zhao Mianmian had never seen that man before, but he was wearing a tall hat and a ochre robe unique to court eunuchs.
Seeing Zhao Mianmian nod, he seemed relieved and gave He Jianxing a meaningful look.
"Master He is so lucky to have raised a promising child. If he can help solve the urgent problem in the palace this time, he will be very successful in the future."
Eunuch Sun’s words dealt a heavy blow to the He family.
The women in the family had no idea that Xiao Haizhou had locked the palace door.
Especially Qin Shuyu, when she heard that someone was coming from the palace, she asked for Zhao Mianmian by name, for fear that the matter of the He family adopting Jiang Yuli would be exposed, which would bring great disaster to the family.
He Zhaoxian and He Jianxing had received the news in advance, and their first reaction was that someone in the palace had an acute illness.
When he got an emergency, he didn't seek the imperial physician, but locked the palace gates and sent people to find Zhao Mianmian, a young disciple of Zhou Tian Medical School. This can only mean one thing:
Either the sick person has a special identity and the imperial physician cannot treat him.
Or maybe the disease was so strange that even the palace doctors were helpless.
Whatever the reason, this matter must be serious! !
"That's not true, Eunuch Sun. It is an honor for our He family to be able to share His Majesty's worries."
"Even though our sister Mian is still young, she doesn't understand the palace rules, so please don't offend any nobles.
I don’t know if this time is…”
As He Jianxing spoke, he stuffed a bulging brocade bag into Eunuch Sun's hand, implying that he wanted the other party to give him some advice.
However, Eunuch Sun was more tight-lipped than He Jianxing thought. After taking the purse, he coughed slightly and gave him an ambiguous statement, neither soft nor hard.
"Master He, please relax. It is a blessing, not a disaster. If it is a disaster, it cannot be avoided. The palace is also a place where the king's law is observed. As long as the young lady is careful and attentive, she will definitely not make mistakes."
After saying this, Eunuch Sun had Zhao Mianmian carried onto the carriage and headed straight towards the palace gate.
