Use a substitute on your wedding night to scatter the ashes of your entire family
Chapter 627 The Emperor AwakensSeeing that his steps were unsteady, Zhang Desheng hurried to help him.
He pushed her away.
In the distance, Ling Heng's mother, Lin Wanru, now Concubine Wan, stopped and slowly turned around when she saw her son staggering out of the Emperor's bedroom.
"Your Majesty..." the palace maid beside her whispered.
Concubine Wan shook her head and said, "Let's go."
Just as Ling Heng turned around and left, Emperor Jingzhang suddenly opened his eyes, dug his fingers into his throat, spat out the black pill, and hurriedly stuffed it under the pillow.
He was breathing heavily.
Just now, Ling Heng picked him up and threw him heavily onto the bed, almost killing him.
These are the pills made by the Heavenly Master, but Ling Heng has wrapped them with a layer of poison that makes it impossible for him to open his eyes, let alone move.
Lying on the bed like a living dead, I could deeply feel the excruciating pain brought by the poison corroding my internal organs.
He had to use all his strength to call for help.
Two months ago, Zhang Desheng fed this medicine to Ling Heng on Ling Heng's orders.
Five pills a day, more than the two that Ling Ji originally asked him to take.
If Doctor Fang hadn’t told him this.
At this time, he should have really become a living dead.
Emperor Jingzhang was breathing heavily.
He never knew that his son had such vicious thoughts towards him.
I still remember every single thing that happened over the years.
Back then, he designed Li Huaiying to say those words and deliberately let him hear them because he was afraid that their Li family would become stronger in the future and threaten the Ling family's empire.
Take the opportunity to get rid of the Li family.
Unexpectedly, Ling Heng knew what he was thinking all along.
The Lin family was even more daring, daring to deceive the emperor and defraud him of all his assets.
What are the Lin family going to do with all that wealth? Are they going to rebel?
At this time, Zhang Desheng pushed open the door of the emperor's bedroom and came in.
Emperor Jingzhang immediately closed his eyes.
Zhang Desheng slowly walked to the dragon bed, glanced at Emperor Jingzhang, sighed softly, bent down and picked up the kettle on the ground.
It was at this moment that Emperor Jingzhang suddenly opened his eyes, pulled out the belt hidden beside the pillow and strangled Zhang Desheng's neck.
The kettle in Zhang Desheng's hand fell onto the thin carpet on the ground again, making a dull sound.
Unfortunately, the door to the emperor's bedroom was heavy, and the eunuchs guarding outside did not hear any movement inside.
Emperor Jingzhang gnashed his teeth and tried his best, his eyeballs almost popped out: "You dog, you dare to collude with Ling Heng, a beast, to harm me. I treat you well, not badly!"
Zhang Desheng tried desperately to pull the belt around his neck with his hands, but the belt kept getting tighter and tighter.
His eyes rolled up, his tongue stuck out, and his chest felt like it was about to explode.
It was at this moment that Zhang Desheng's godson, the young eunuch Chunkui, who had been transferred to the imperial kitchen to work as a fireman, suddenly came.
The moment the palace door was pushed open a crack, Emperor Jingzhang's pupils suddenly shrank.
"Godfather?" Chun Kui called softly. As the light in the hall was dim, he could hardly see the situation inside. He was afraid of being discovered, so he quickly closed the door.
The moment he closed the door and turned around, Chun Kui finally saw what was happening beside the dragon bed.
He was startled and immediately rushed over, grabbing the belt around Zhang Desheng's neck: "Godfather, godfather..."
Zhang Desheng's eyes bulged out and he stretched his hands forward desperately, like a stranded fish, trying hard to breathe.
When Chunkui met the murderous eyes of Emperor Jingzhang, his legs went limp, his hands loosened, and he fell to his knees.
He was so scared that he kowtowed and begged: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I beg you, please don't kill my godfather, please, please."
Zhang Desheng stretched out his hand towards Chunkui. His face had turned blue-gray, his eyeballs were bloodshot and bulging, and his voice was hoarse and dry like fire: "Save me, save me, save me..."
Emperor Jingzhang had a ferocious look on his face.
Seeing that his godfather was really about to die, Chun Kui gritted his teeth and finally overcame his inner fear. He got up from the ground, took a step forward, grabbed the belt hard, and pulled it out violently.
Emperor Jingzhang was already exhausted at this point. The moment the belt in his hand was taken away, his hands suddenly loosened and his body fell backwards.
After falling on the bed, he couldn't get up again, gasping for breath.
Chunkui was so frightened that his face turned pale. He did not care about the emperor on the bed and held Zhang Desheng tightly.
As fresh air entered his stomach again, Zhang Desheng gasped for breath and coughed violently.
Just now, for a moment, he seemed to have seen death coming.
If Chun Kui had been just half a step later, he would have died.
After a long time, Zhang Desheng gradually recovered and slowly turned to face Emperor Jingzhang.
Chun Kui tried to help him, but he pushed him away.
He knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Emperor Jingzhang, and sobbed, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am guilty of death, I am guilty of death..."
Emperor Jingzhang made a sound like a broken bellows in his throat and slammed his hands heavily on the bed, but because he did not have enough strength, the sound he made seemed extremely dull and weak.
"Zhang Desheng, why, tell me why!"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince has poisoned me with the Secret Guard, Your Majesty. If I don't obey him, I will live a life worse than death, a life worse than death..."
"Outside the Emperor's bedroom, these young eunuchs have been poisoned, and they themselves don't even know it. It's okay for the old slave to die, but they are still so young."
"Your Majesty, I have lived in this palace for most of my life. Seeing these lives pass away, I feel heartbroken..."
Chun Kui was shocked when he heard this and tried desperately to scratch his throat.
Emperor Jingzhang's face turned pale grey, the poison corroding his internal organs.
Even though he never swallowed another pill after Doctor Fang told him, a little bit of the poison wrapped around the pill entered his stomach during the short time he held it in his mouth.
He is in his twilight years.
However, he was unwilling to hand over the kingdom of Northern Jin to the beast Ling Heng!
"You, go and guard the door." Emperor Jingzhang ordered Chunkui.
Chun Kui glanced at his godfather.
"Go ahead, be smart."
Chun Kui bowed deeply to Emperor Jingzhang and said, "Your Majesty, please don't kill my godfather. If you want to kill someone, kill me..."
"roll!"
Zhang Desheng waved his hand towards Chun Kui: "It's okay, go out first."
Chunkui walked out of the door, looking back every few steps.
Emperor Jingzhang had heavy eye bags and deep dark circles under his eyes: "The medicine I took was poisonous, did you always know that?"
"Yes, I know."
"Zhang Desheng, you are so bold! Do you want to kill me too? We have been master and servant for more than forty years!"
Zhang Desheng burst into tears: "Your Majesty, no, I dare not. You have vomited all the medicine in the past two months."
Emperor Jingzhang's face suddenly showed a trace of panic, but it only lasted for a moment, and then there was a strong murderous intent in his eyes: "When did you know!"
