The whole palace has been turbulent, with the emperor's serious illness, the palace people are becoming more and more cautious, the ministers in front of the court are worried because the emperor has not been to the court for a few days. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In such a tense atmosphere, June 18 also arrived as scheduled.
It stands to reason that the emperor is seriously ill, and Song Zizhou, as the prince, is going to serve in front of the sickbed, but after the emperor fell ill this time, he did not summon any prince, and the concubines of the harem were also not seen, and it is even said that the queen mother went to visit, but was also blocked by Zhou Ningfu outside the Qianqing Palace.
Song Zizhou watched the tense situation in the palace coldly, and thought, this is fine, anyway, there is no one of his own handwriting, it is better to move out of the palace to save the pond fish.
In the Qianqing Palace, the emperor drank the prescription prescribed by Dr. Jiang for a few days, and obviously felt much better.
"Your Majesty, that little eunuch has already been recruited, saying that the queen has grace with him, so he obeyed the queen's dispatch. However, the information that his subordinates found out from Imperial Physician Zhang was indeed sent by the second prince. Ming Hai knelt in front of the emperor's case to report.
said that Ming Hai himself felt sad for the emperor, his wife and son partnered to put him to death, and the emperor was really pitiful.
However, it is quite normal for these things to happen in the royal family, and since the establishment of the Great Xia Dynasty, this kind of thing has really happened a lot. No wonder everyone says that there is no father and son in heaven!
At this time, Emperor Jingxiao's heart was cold, which palace person who could serve in the Qianqing Palace had not stayed for decades? Now that the queen has been found in it, this makes the emperor extremely uneasy.
When did the queen and the second child collude together? Also, one of these two has no son and the other has no mother, isn't it just right? He thought that he had no place to be sorry for the queen and the second child, these two actually intended to murder me! Fortunately, he sensed that something was wrong in time, and this Great Xia should soon set up a new king!
In Jingren Palace, what Queen Qin didn't know was that she had been cautious all her life, but she was careless that night. She shouldn't have sent someone to see the little eunuch on that cusp, otherwise this matter would really not be on her for a while.
Empress Qin sat in the main hall with plenty of cool air, and there was a large ice basin not far from her feet. Cocking his little finger with a finger cover, he took the mung bean soup brought by Qiu He.
As soon as he took a sip, Zhou Ningfu led a group of guards to break in.
"Father-in-law Zhou, you are so bold! My Jingren Palace is also something you can create if you want to?! Empress Qin put the white porcelain bowl in her hand heavily on the table, and there was a muffled sound. The momentum of the queen for decades is naturally not covered, and the hands in the house were stunned for a while.
Zhou Ningfu was unmoved, and smiled coldly, "When is this, you still have the heart to put the queen on the shelf?!" ”
Empress Qin chuckled in her heart, only to see Zhou Ningfu open the holy decree in his hand and read it out, "Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, Empress Qin is vicious by nature, first plotted to kill the virtuous concubine, and then deliberately murdered me, she is really not worthy of the mother's honor in the world, now abolish the position of the queen, and give a cup of poisonous wine." The Qin family's goddaughter is not strict, and the nine clans are punished, and they are admired! ”
Empress Qin fell to the ground all of a sudden, and Qiu He hurriedly stepped forward to support her.
Unexpectedly, the queen pushed her away like crazy and threw herself down in front of Zhou Ningfu, "I don't believe it!" I don't believe it! I want to see the emperor!! ”
Zhou Ningfu snorted coldly, "Don't struggle, the emperor won't see you." ”
"You eunuch! It must be you who are falsely preaching the holy decree! I have been married to the emperor for decades, how could the emperor kill me?! ”
Listening to the queen's scolding, Zhou Ningfu's eyes flashed a trace of coldness, if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't get by, who would be willing to enter the palace as a eunuch, and he didn't even have a person to support when he was old.
The queen's voice undoubtedly hit Zhou Ningfu's sore spot, Zhou Ningfu made a look, and the two guards stepped forward and twisted the queen's arm.
"Do you still know your relationship with the emperor? Slaves are all you forgot! Also, that Jing Si Xiang is really a testimony of your affection for the emperor! ”
When Empress Qin heard this, she knew that the matter had failed, and there was no room for change, so she stopped struggling, leaving only Zhou Ningfu to continue, "You murdered Concubine Xian, the emperor has already seen the love of the previous years, and let you go." Unexpectedly, you still don't repent, and you want to meddle in the imperial examination, but the emperor still gently puts it down, and now you still want to murder the emperor, the so-called things are only three, do you think the emperor can still let you go?! ”
Empress Qin's eyes staring at Zhou Ningfu were a little evasive, but she still wanted to quibble, "Phew! How could this palace do such a thing, it must be you eunuch slandering me behind my back! ”
Zhou Ningfu didn't bother talking to her anymore, took the tray held by the little eunuch, slowly walked to Queen Qin's side, and squatted down slightly, "It's not too early, it's time for the queen to go on the road." ”
Empress Qin was relieved at this time, fortunately, she sent her little nephew away at that time, and she could still leave a bloodline for their Qin family, so as not to let the Qin family cut off the incense.
As if he understood what she was thinking, Zhou Ningfu chuckled, "It seems that Niangniang is reluctant to let go of her family!" Don't worry, your little nephew from Yanbei will also accompany you. ”
The queen struggled like crazy, and the high bun on her head had been scattered, but she couldn't move because of the guards' clamping, and could only curse loudly, "You brute, you don't even let go of a child who is a few months old!" ”
"Niangniang's words are wrong, it's not the slave who doesn't let him go, it's you!"
Put the tray in his hand back into the hands of the little eunuch on the side, and reached out to take the wine glass, "It seems that Niangniang is unwilling to go on the road by herself, so the slave will allow the slave to give you a ride." ”
As he spoke, Zhou Ningfu reached out and pinched the queen's jaw, poured a full cup of poisonous wine into it, looked at the queen's painful expression, and then whispered in her ear, "What about the eunuch, don't want me, the eunuch, to send you on the road in person!" ”
Two lines of tears were left on the queen's cheeks, she was really smart but was mistaken by cleverness, she shouldn't have been, she shouldn't have attacked the emperor, and her family was innocent. She has achieved the position of queen, and she still covets more rights, in the end, she is still too greedy.
Zhou Ningfu glanced at her in disgust and let go of his hand, "Let's go!" ”
Qiu He had already been frightened by this movement, and it wasn't until Zhou Ningfu and his party were gone that he rushed to Queen Qin's side, held Queen Qin in his arms, and reached out to probe the queen's snort.
With a trembling hand, he hugged Queen Qin tightly in his arms and cried loudly, "Niangniang! ”
In Qingyang Palace, Song Ziyu was walking back and forth, and for some reason, he felt particularly restless today. There had been no news from his father's palace for a few days, and he didn't know what was going on.
There was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and Wang Qing, the big eunuch beside Song Ziyu, walked in, "Second Highness, it's not good, the queen mother was given death by the emperor?!" ”
"What!?" Song Ziyu now understands why he is restless today, the queen mother was given death, it must be a failure, and he doesn't know himself......
No, it won't! No, it won't! Song Ziyu pinched his fingers silently, if it involved him, the emperor should have sent someone to arrest him......
Just thinking about it, there was a sound of footsteps outside the house, looking at Zhou Ningfu's face, Song Ziyu's heart was like ashes, this is over!
"Second Highness, the emperor is invited!" (To be continued.) )
