Chapter 114: Heaven's Punishment

His Royal Highness King Cheng, who has always been extremely powerful in the eyes of everyone, suddenly fell ill, and heard that he was very sick, not only did he not go to the military department and the camp in the west of the city for several days, but even King Cheng's mansion was closed to guests, and no one was allowed to visit.

Everyone also heard that the emperor and Empress Dowager Feng in the palace specially sent several imperial doctors to King Cheng's mansion because they were worried about His Royal Highness King Cheng, but they were turned away, and His Royal Highness King Cheng refused to even see him.

Everyone was very strange about His Royal Highness King Cheng's abnormal behavior, you must know that His Royal Highness King Cheng was the most respectful and filial to Empress Dowager Feng, and he didn't expect to disobey Empress Dowager Feng in this matter that was beneficial to him.

For a time, all kinds of speculations were flying in the government and the opposition.

Shou'an Palace.

Empress Dowager Feng leaned against the soft collapse of the window with her eyes closed, one palace maid gently rubbed her temples for her, and another palace maid knelt on the ground, holding a beauty in her hand to beat her legs.

The movements of the two palace maids were extremely cautious, and they didn't dare to come out, for fear of accidentally angering the capricious Empress Dowager Feng in the past few days.

"The Queen Mother." At this moment, Grandma Sun, who was the most useful person next to Empress Dowager Feng, hurriedly walked in.

When Empress Dowager Feng heard this, she opened her eyes and quickly turned her head to look at her.

The palace maid who rubbed Empress Dowager Feng's temples to relieve fatigue didn't expect that she would suddenly turn her head and didn't have time to withdraw her hand, but her nails accidentally scratched Empress Dowager Feng's skin.

Empress Dowager Feng was immediately furious, raised her hand and slapped the palace maid fiercely, and at the same time kicked away the other palace maid who beat her leg.

"The slave knows her mistakes, please forgive the Queen Mother, please forgive the Queen Mother." The two palace maids knelt on their knees in fear and kowtowed to beg for mercy, their foreheads hitting the floor with a clear sound.

Mama Sun saw it and knew that these two palace maids were about to be punished heavily, so without waiting for Empress Dowager Feng to speak, she preemptively scolded: "If you don't want to get the board yourself, do you want people to invite you?" ā€

You won't lose your life after taking a few boards. The two palace maids knew that Grandma Sun was helping them, and they were grateful, and kowtowed several times before they walked out with weak legs.

Mama Sun motioned for all the other people waiting in the hall to retreat, and then personally poured a glass of water and handed it to the Empress Dowager Feng, and persuaded with a smile: "Empress Dowager, it is important to take care of your body, it is really not worth it to be angry for these subordinates who can't get on the stage." ā€

Empress Dowager Feng drank a few sips of tea with a gloomy face before asking, "How is it?" Did you find out why King Cheng suddenly fell ill? ā€

Mama Sun's face gradually became solemn, she moved closer to her, and said in a low voice: "I secretly met Miaoling, and I heard her say that Miss Yu already knew that the emperor killed the Jade Marquis, for more than a month, His Royal Highness King Cheng has been looking for the reason why the emperor killed the Jade Marquis, and it is very likely that His Royal Highness King Cheng has already known that the emperor has rewritten the edict of the first emperor, so he is unwilling to see you and ......the emperor."

"Bang!" The jade cup in Empress Dowager Feng's hand suddenly slipped to the ground and fell into several pieces, "You mean...... Said that the king already knows? ā€

Mama Sun held her trembling hand and soothed: "Don't worry too much about the Queen Mother, this is a matter between the emperor and King Cheng, and it has nothing to do with the Queen Mother. ā€

Empress Dowager Feng shook her head in despair: "But obviously King Cheng is blaming me, maybe he thinks that I knew about it from the beginning, but deliberately concealed it." ā€

"It's quite possible." Mama Sun sighed, pondered for a moment, and said: "But I believe that His Royal Highness King Cheng will understand the heart of the Queen Mother, after all, the emperor is the biological son of the Queen Mother, and he is the most qualified person to inherit the throne, and it is understandable that the Queen Mother favors the emperor, as long as it is ......"

Speaking of this, Mama Sun paused, looked at the door vigilantly, and saw that no one was approaching, so she said in a very low voice: "As long as that incident is not discovered by His Royal Highness King Cheng, His Royal Highness King Cheng will not tear his face with the Queen Mother and become an enemy." ā€

Empress Dowager Feng's face turned a little pale when she heard her mention that incident, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that this was very reasonable. Cheng Wang was raised by her, and she was extremely filial to her, how could she really blame her for hating her, maybe it would be good to pass this time.

Thinking about this, Empress Dowager Feng suddenly felt that the stone that had been pressed on her heart for a few days had been removed, and she suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and remembered something, and asked, "What has the emperor been busy with these days?" "The emperor hasn't come to Shou'an Palace to see her for several days.

Mama Sun replied: "His Royal Highness King Cheng has not been to the court for the past few days, and many things need to be handled by the emperor. ā€

Empress Dowager Feng sighed and said worriedly, "I don't know what King Cheng will do next?" Do you think he will compete with the emperor for the throne? ā€

Mama Sun shook her head: "It's hard to say, but even if His Royal Highness King Cheng doesn't compete with the emperor for the throne, it is impossible for them to go back to the past." What's more, you also understand that the emperor has always been very jealous of His Royal Highness Chengwang, I heard that ...... A few days ago, someone assassinated Miss Yu in the palace, but I am afraid that this will have nothing to do with the emperor. And Miss Yu, the Marquis of Jade was killed by the emperor, can she ignore it? I'm afraid that she will instigate His Royal Highness King Cheng to avenge her father. ā€

Empress Dowager Feng stared at her tightly, held her breath and said, "You mean, if there is no Miss Yu, it is very likely that King Cheng will not turn against the emperor, right?" ā€

Mama Sun vaguely guessed her thoughts, was shocked, and hurriedly persuaded: "Queen Mother, by all means, I know that you feel sorry for the emperor and want to remove all obstacles for the emperor to let him sit on the throne, but you also have to leave a way back for yourself." Isn't your twenty-year plan just for the position of the queen and the queen mother? No matter which of the two of them is the emperor, your position is untouchable, but if you do something to hurt His Royal Highness Chengwang, if he finds out, will he still treat you like before? What should you do if His Royal Highness wins in the end? ā€

Empress Dowager Feng was silent.

Mama Sun continued: "Besides, the emperor will not let His Royal Highness King Cheng threaten him, he will definitely find a way to deal with it, and it is in his best interest for the Queen Mother not to interfere in their affairs." ā€

Empress Dowager Feng still didn't say anything, leaning on the soft collapse in a daze. If it weren't for that incident twenty years ago, she wouldn't be in such a difficult situation today, maybe this is God's punishment for her.

In the past few days, Empress Dowager Feng has been unable to sleep and eat, and the same is true of Emperor Xiao Yu.

When Xiao Yu secretly sent someone to the palace to assassinate Yu Jinjiao, he was waiting for the moment when the charge of killing Yuhou Ye was successfully transferred to the head of Weiyuan's general Ning family, however, he waited and waited, except for the news that King Cheng was sick and closed his door.

At this time, he realized that the plan to move the trouble to Jiangdong had completely failed, and judging from King Cheng's reaction, it was very likely that he had already known everything.

He didn't know where King Cheng found those secrets, he only knew that King Cheng and Yu Jinjiao could no longer stay in the world.
