Chapter 576: Dying
According to Mama Bai, long before the Queen Mother's birthday, she found that the old man got up early for a few days and was tired, and his mind was very trance-like and he had no energy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Bai Mama naturally didn't dare to slack off, so she first reported to Queen Chu about it, and then found Luo Nayan and Liu Yuan to judge the Queen Mother's illness. After patient verification by these two people, the Queen Mother was not sick, but poisoned.
Empress Chu was furious, ordered the news to be blocked from the outside world, and ordered Mama Bai to conduct a thorough investigation in the Shoukang Palace.
On the day when Guo Shanggong went to Shoukang Palace to deliver auspicious clothes to the Queen Mother, it was Liu Yuan's judgment and Luo Nayan to make a second follow-up for the Queen Mother, and the two did not agree much, so that there were some disputes on the road, and they also made trouble in front of Queen Chu.
Because the time of the Queen Mother's poisoning was still shallow, the hospital considered prescribing a prescription, and it worked a little a few days ago.
Seeing that the envoys of the two countries have not left, the birthday banquet of the Queen Mother cannot be canceled, and the Queen Mother of Chu can only order Mama Bai to lie, only saying that the Queen Mother is tired and gets up on the day of her birthday and cannot attend the dinner.
Guo Shanggong's hands and eyes were all over the sky, for fear that what Mama Bai said would not be true, she didn't dare to fight Qin Yao's idea, relying on her friendship with Banxia, and repeatedly inquired about the queen mother's illness in private.
Banxia naturally sent her back according to the words above, and then returned to Queen Chu without a word.
Now that the Millennial Sect has begun to act, a good show of inviting you into the urn has gradually begun. With the increasing number of times that Luo Nayan and Liu Yuan were sentenced to enter and leave Shoukang Palace, Empress Chu kept a close eye on Guo Shanggong's every move.
Today, Mama Bai was in a hurry, and she couldn't care that everyone in front of Queen Chu had not retreated, so she cried out loud: "The queen mother, the queen mother just took the medicine today, I feel better, and I got up and sat for half an hour, but it happened that Concubine Jun went to Shoukang Palace to visit the patient, and the two also said a few words." ”
Mama Bai was full of righteous indignation and accused Concubine Jun of doing something in Shoukang Palace. After she left, it was only a pillar of incense, and the Queen Mother was short of breath, and now she has fainted.
"Don't talk nonsense, it will ruin the friendship between the two countries", Queen Chu reprimanded Mama Bai, but she couldn't sit still, and she didn't even change her clothes and put her life in Shoukang Palace.
Qin Yao hurriedly passed the steps, caught up with two more steps, and draped the hooded silver fox on the body of Empress Chu.
Now in the Shoukang Palace, there are several old honest people such as Liu Yuanju and Wang Yuanju on duty day and night, and Luo Nayan has been living in Shoukang Palace.
When the Empress Chu came, the three of them had already found out the cause of the disease, and the Empress Dowager had the secret poison of Miao Jiang in her body, and it had just deepened again, which was enough to make people fatal. Fortunately, it was discovered in time, and now with the medicine, the condition is slightly stable, but it cannot be eradicated.
After this toss, the news can no longer be hidden. Thinking of Concubine Jun's mother's entry and exit to Shoukang Palace several times, it is simply punishable. People in the palace were panicked for a while, and they were all discussing in private what Kangnan's idea was.
Empress Chu strictly ordered Qin Yao to spread the word, and ordered the palace people to keep their mouths shut, and if there was disobedience and disrespect, they would be killed, but she hated so much that she crushed her silver teeth, and she was furious in the direction of Tongyun Pavilion.
Guo Shanggong has nothing to do in the past few days, and he has been wandering around Shoukang Palace and Fengluan Palace, making himself look like he is ready to be on call at any time, but in fact, he does not miss a trace of wind in two places. Now seeing that Queen Chu and Concubine Jun have a grudge, she is secretly happy in her heart.
The Empress Dowager's life was in danger, and Empress Chu made thunderous means again. She frowned coldly, passed the deputy commander of Qianlong Wei to Xiao Luochen to meet her, and ordered Qianlong Wei to check the people who had been in and out of Shoukang Palace during this time, and specially instructed: "No matter who dares to murder the Queen Mother, once it is verified, just kill without mercy." ”
Although the palace was forbidden, it was still boiling in private, and only a few words of Miao Jiang's secret poison were heard, and people with a heart had already locked their eyes on Kang Nanlai's concubine Niangniang. And the previous rumors that the Kangnan mission did not leave Gusu for a long time was temporarily detained by Xixia, and the topic of Queen Chu and Concubine Jun's inseparability was turned out again, and it was depicted with grounded evidence.
Suddenly, Concubine Jun Niangniang became the target of everyone. It seems that in order to confirm this statement, the Tongyun Pavilion is actually heavily guarded, although there are no people from the Qianlong Guard to enter, and the front and rear doors are guarded by guards.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites who accompanied Concubine Jun Niangniang to Xixia were very angry, and asked to see Concubine Jun Niangniang, wanting to take out strong diplomatic means to oppose Xixia's practice.
Concubine Jun Niangniang indifferently stopped and signaled them not to do too much: "Don't be impatient, don't be impatient, this palace has its own reasons." What's more, those who are clear will clear themselves, but if we wait for two more days, we will definitely be able to find out the real culprit and return our innocence. ”
Seeing that His Royal Highness King Ning, who has never rubbed sand in his eyes, also said this, just stayed in the Ninghui Palace and closed the door, the officials of the Ministry of Rites couldn't guess what medicine was sold in the gourd of this mother and son, so they could only temporarily live in the royal post house, and they were panicked all day long.
At the routine dinner, Guo Shanggong watched coldly, although she had just married her children, Queen Chu saw Concubine Jun's mother, and her face was not as warm as it was at the beginning.
Empress Chu only smiled politely and said to Concubine Jun: "Please ask Niangniang to be wronged for a few days, I believe it will soon come to light." The two countries have a long history of diplomatic relations, and the palace does not believe in the palace very much, and it will return the innocence of the mother no matter what.
Concubine Jun's face was very ugly, the wide rose red brocade robe gently swept the ground of the black jade, leaving a gorgeous shadow, her voice was soft and glutinous, Guo Shanggong clearly heard a trace: "The queen doesn't need to mind, who is behind the yin, it will definitely destroy the diplomatic relations between the two countries, you will wait and see." ”
The two looked at each other, and there were sparks in the air, and neither of them refused to show weakness.
is only adding another fire, and the fact that the concubine was poisoned is made, I am not afraid that these two families will not turn against each other.
The corners of Guo Shanggong's lips were slightly curved, and he only pretended not to see the guns and arrows on the banquet, and served the newly made snacks in the imperial dining room as usual, and sent them to the two of them diligently.
After waiting for the dinner, Guo Shanggong combed the news he had received for several days, along with the respective attitudes of the two mothers, in detail in the letter, quietly sealed the news into a bamboo tube, and sent it out of the palace overnight.
The Queen Mother was very ill and on the verge of dying, and Ronyan and the entire Tai Hospital were helpless.
On the tenth day of October, the news of the Queen Mother's critical illness came out of the Shoukang Palace. Emperor Chongming and Empress Chu, Xu, Second Concubine Meng, Murong Wei and four sisters and brothers, as well as Xia Lanxin accompanied the old lady, Chu Zhaohui and Wen Wan, except for the five princes in infancy, all gathered in Shoukang Palace to wait for news.
The chief eunuch of the Internal Affairs Office, Guo Shanggong, and the palace people who led the six departments and twenty-four divisions, were all quietly waiting outside.
Mama Bai looked at the queen mother's bloodless face, and kept wiping her sweat in distress.
On this night, all the imperial doctors were passed into the Shoukang Palace, and Luo Nayan stayed in front of the queen mother's bed, and administered needles to the queen mother from time to time to relieve her pain.
