Mother Ji followed the queen and entered the official family's bedroom.

Half an hour later, she withdrew with the queen.

Ji Qingchen waited in Kunning Palace, nervously looking at the queen and her party who walked back, she only needed to sweep Ji's mother's face, and her heart had already sunk.

"There was no sign of poisoning.

Mother Ji changed into the doctor's little white robe, tied a black female doctor's towel on her head, and said in the hall with deep eyes, "I just ate a useless diet."

Ji Qingchen didn't have time to rejoice that this old witch Zhu knew what to say and what not to say, and Xie Zhangsi's face on the side turned blue.

"Queen Mother,. Before leaving the palace on that day, the official family entered a fire juice from the Western Regions. ”

She paused, "It was offered by Concubine Jia's palace." ”

Xie Daoqing sat on the phoenix seat, and her tired look made Ji Qingchen's heart more and more heavy.

"On the cruise ship, the official family saw a snow-white lotus root, praised it, and a bowl of fresh lake lotus root soup entered the accompanying stove boat."

Xie Zhangsi has already found out these things.

And Ji's mother simply distinguishes the ingredients, there is a taste of ingredients and lake lotus root in the Western Regions Fire Juice Dew, and normal people will not have a problem eating it before and after.

However, if a person has problems with digestive function eats it, it will cause gastrointestinal cramps and diarrhea.

It's the symptoms of the official family now.

"I was originally guarding against Concubine Yan."

Xie Daoqing closed his eyes, the queen had her own phoenix boat on the Wanshou Festival, and Yan Concubine was accompanied by the dragon boat.

It was also Concubine Yan who accompanied the official family to eat the bowl of lake lotus soup.

"Officials are extremely cautious people. He has a bad stomach since he was a child, and he knows that he is greedy. Therefore, in the Yanhe Palace, the internal officials were also arranged to prepare two signs, one of which read: 'Drink less, be afraid of vomiting'. Another sign read, 'Eat less raw and cold, afraid of pain', and he knew to remind himself from time to time. ”

Ji Qingchen sighed secretly when he heard this, what the official family ate this time was neither wine nor cold, and this is what happened.

"Niangniang, Mrs. Yan Jun is here with the second prince."

Before the confinement was born, Mrs. Yan Jun carried the child to the queen's palace.

Xie Daoqing finally had a trace of comfort in his eyes. raised his hand and hugged the second prince, who had not yet been named by his father, in his arms.

Mrs. Yan Jun said with tears in her eyes:

"Niangniang, my sister is high-spirited and young. Since I was a child, I haven't taken my sister seriously. Let's let her be a washy palace maid. My mother cried like this when she entered the palace yesterday. I just begged to spare her life. ”

Xie Daoqing didn't hate this Yan concubine who was bought by Concubine Jia in his heart.

This woman only watched her sister Mrs. Yan Jun be more valued in the palace after she became pregnant, and she was dissatisfied, but she was told by Jia Guifei to participate in this matter.

"You take good care of it, don't think about it. This palace asked itself if it did not treat Concubine Yan badly. She is young and favored, and she is easy to be provoked. Therefore, the palace deliberately played the official family after she went to bed. made her one of the nine concubines. ”

This is higher than the titles of the four women surnamed Jia, Xie, Yan, and Li when they entered the palace, but I didn't expect her to be still dissatisfied.

"She is the most favored person of the official family now, the official family is sick, even if there are all kinds of crimes, as long as the case is not convicted, how can this palace ask her for the crime? Let her think about it behind closed doors. ”

Xie Daoqing gently coaxed the second prince in his arms.

Ji Qingchen heard that the queen still had hope for the official family's recovery, but Ji's mother looked at her quietly, and her heart was completely cold.

Half of the officials may not survive this time.

He's been pulling his stomach for almost a month. He hasn't stopped until now, and he's thinned into a skeleton.

And. She has also heard in the palace these days that the official family of the Zhao family has a similar genetic disease called for generations

"Wind Disease".

The symptoms are headache and stroke.

Although Zhao Kuo is young, he doesn't know when a gastrointestinal disease like his will cause wind disease.

Lou Yun returned to the mansion from Chaozhong, and his face was not necessarily much better than Xie Daoqing.

"Now that the official family is seriously ill, Prime Minister Han has come out to reinstate, and the first thing he said is that he can't live up to the favor of the official family and will continue the Northern Expedition."

Ji Qingchen walked to the back door of the study.

She walked in through the secret door that Lou Yun had left for her before, and listened to the conversation behind the bookshelf.

Lou Yun and the master of the house, the curtain guest, and the official generals of Xinfu are discussing.

"Although Master Gan is a military and state affairs of Pingzhang, he has neither the old merit of supporting the official family to ascend the throne, nor the prestige of the Northern Expedition, and he has no way to compare with Prime Minister Han in the political hall. Mr. Xie is not in good health, and although Mr. Lu is kind to us, he wants to go on the Northern Expedition. ”

Zhang Xueli's voice sounded, and then Ji Chenlong talked about the military situation in the five states of Shandong.

He is in charge of the military affairs of various places in the Privy Council, and he is Lou Yun's brother-in-law, so he is naturally his right-hand man.

"Prime Minister Han is holding on to military funds, just to let Li Quan prepare for war."

Shandong Wuzhou has been the territory of the Jin Kingdom for many years, and Ji Chenlong knows the inside story of that area.

"The area suffered the most from the Yellow Plague, and the grain that has been brought in from other places in the past few years has barely survived. Once we enter the winter and seal the river, the military supply cannot be continued, it is easy for us to defeat the Jin people last time, and it is easy for the Jin people to defeat us now. ”

That night, after Lou Yun and Ji Qingchen had a secret discussion, Ji Qingchen took a boat to Taicang on the second day.

She first arranged for a batch of grain to be transported to Qingzhou Port by sea, and then took a boat to Mingzhou City, she made an appointment with Huang Qilang to discuss, and rearranged the Tangfang Workshop in Mingzhou City.

"Big sister, do you want to make ordnance again?"

Huang Qilang's face was heavy, of course he knew that the shape in the capital was not very good,

"But making weapons in a private workshop is a capital crime to destroy the Nine Clans."

After the old relationship between Wang Shiqiang and the Ordnance Department, the Mingzhou Workshop has taken over a batch of ordnance business for the government every year.

But like in Tangfang, she Ji Qingchen can do as much as she wants, and if she finds out, it will be over.

"Mingzhou should still be able to do it here."

Ji Qingchen also thought about it repeatedly with Lou Yun,

"Mingzhou Sailor is your Jiangsu, Zhejiang and maritime businessmen are one with the outside and the inside, and they have a share of your business at sea. Each family also has children and clansmen who are officials. The prefect of Mingzhou has now changed the person of Prime Minister Xie. The general judgment of Mingzhou was delegated by Beijing officials, but it was recommended by Qin Congyun. That is, Wang Shiqiang's person. My grandson will go to the Ordnance Department to dredge up and increase the orders for this year's private workshop, which can give us a cover-up. ”

In order to convince Huang Qilang, she took out the letter written by Li Quan to Lou Yun.

Huang Qilang hurriedly looked at it and sighed again and again.

Li Quan wrote a letter to scold Prime Minister Han, saying that Prime Minister Han had food and ordnance in his hands, and now he was sending people over to divide his power and swallow his subordinates.

"Brother Huang Qi, you know, Li Quan is a local Green Forest Rebel Army in Shandong. Not a court general. The most taboo is that one's subordinates are annexed. The grandson said that if one is not good, they will turn back, and it is not impossible to throw themselves into the Jin Kingdom again. ”

Speaking of which, Huang Qilang also knew that there was no way out.

It is not impossible for the imperial court to collect troops, but it must depend on the timing.

At this juncture, if Li Quan threw himself at the Jin people, the success of the Northern Expedition would be ruined.

Lou Yun and Wang Shiqiang's current official positions are all based on the achievements of the Northern Expedition.

Prime Minister Han said that the Northern Expedition was basically to completely capture these results in the palm of his hand, clean up Li Quan, and then clean them up.

The officials can't be on the council, and if they don't support Li Quan, it's tantamount to waiting to be killed. (To be continued......)
