Empress Xue has been in the phoenix position for decades, although she was joined forces by Xiao Jinxuan and Zhou Xianrui, and she was a little messed up for a while.

But this kind of panic was only extremely short-lived, and after being asked speechlessly by Xiao Jinxuan, Xue Hou, after being silent for a while, said with a steady breath:

"Lord Zhaoyang's words are really good, you are also a royal family now, and the marriage with King Rui really can't be decided by one person in the future."

Speaking of this, Empress Xue's voice paused, and then he changed his words and said questioningly:

"But now Your Majesty is at a critical moment of recuperation, and the imperial doctor also said that it is not suitable to be disturbed. Therefore, King Rui, if you are determined to marry the lord of Zhaoyang as a side concubine, you will be allowed to do so later. As for His Majesty, the Queen Mother will also convey that you should be satisfied with this time. ”

Empress Xue's move is to retreat into advance, which can be said to be extremely beautiful.

On the surface, it seemed that Xue had regressed and had to agree to Zhou Xianrui's concubine, but in fact, the other party used this to eliminate the opportunity for the two to enter the palace.

If this is an ordinary person, it will indeed be impossible to say any reason to continue to enter the palace.

But Xiao Jinxuan and Zhou Xianrui have always been good at strategy.

Therefore, just a faint smile, Xiao Jinxuan's voice slowed down, and said with a hint of doubt:

"The queen is willing to fulfill it, and His Royal Highness King Rui and I are naturally grateful. But if the mother is suitable, it seems that something is wrong. Although you are the queen, you and the emperor are husband and wife. But the saint is my monarch of the Great Zhou Kingdom, according to the meaning of what you just said, is it possible that the queen mother can already make decisions on behalf of the saint without asking the emperor. Empress Xue, are you going to bully the king, or do you want to harm my Great Zhou Dynasty. ”

Qiang took a deep breath calmly, if it weren't for Zuo Wen on the side, who helped Xue Hou with a vague movement, the other party would have even been questioned because of Xiao Jinxuan's words.

Bullying the monarch and sabotaging the court, these two charges are detained, even Empress Xue, who is the mother of a country, will definitely not be able to bear it.

Seeing that Xiao Jinxuan and Empress Xue were already fighting in words, Zhou Xianrui immediately glanced at Shen Mu and the others.

At that time, these princes and ministers who have been in and out of officialdom for many years are all human spirits, and they will naturally not miss the opportunity.

Even if the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, Empress Xue should pay attention to the reasons for her words and deeds, so she directly attacked the other party.

In recent days, Empress Xue has been in charge of the palace, and she has long been accustomed to coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, but now this trick is obviously not working.

After taking a deep breath immediately, Empress Xue, who was still reluctant to let the two of them in, prevaricated again:

"You've probably heard of it, but now your father is suffering from a fainting and lethargic disease. Therefore, even if you go in, the emperor will not wake up. In that case, why do you need to disturb him to recuperate, why don't you go back first, wait until the emperor wakes up, and then immediately send someone to announce your entry into the palace. ”

At first, it didn't work to retreat as an advance, and now Xue Hou has resorted to a trick to delay the army.

In fact, everyone present knew that if Zhou Xianrui hadn't entered the palace today, it was estimated that Ma Yue in the Year of the Monkey would not have to wait for the so-called call of Empress Xue.

Everyone else can see clearly and understand where Zhou Xianrui would be so easily fooled by Empress Xue.

Therefore, he pointed to the carriage behind him, and then said in a calm tone:

"Although the queen mother can rest assured, the son has found a doctor with superb medical skills, and he will enter the palace with me, even if the father is in a coma, the other party has a way to wake people up."

Hearing this, Shicai still had a pleasant face, and Xue Hou, who wanted to persuade Zhou Xianrui away, immediately reprimanded angrily with a sinking face:

"Bastard! The emperor is the honor of the Ninety-Five, where can his dragon body be touched at will among the folk outside the palace. Empress Xianrui thought that you were the most stable of the princes, and she didn't want you to do such a disproportionate thing. You leave immediately, and the queen doesn't want to see you now. ”

Seeing that Xue Hou avoided the topic of suitable talents, he angrily reprimanded Zhou Xianrui.

Xiao Jinxuan could see that the other party was doing it on purpose, just to make Zhou Xianrui lose money, so he didn't put forward a reason to enter the palace.

A few steps forward to stand by Zhou Xianrui's side, looking at this meeting, Xue Hou, who looked extremely angry, glanced at Xue Hou, Xiao Jinxuan said coldly:

"Queen Mother, before reprimanding King Rui for not knowing how to measure. Can you tell me how long it will take for the imperial doctor to heal Your Majesty? King Rui will find a doctor from outside the palace, because the imperial doctor who Niangniang found for the emperor to diagnose and treat is too incompetent. Today, if the mother doesn't ask King Rui to bring people in, then you must promise a deadline for the emperor to recover in front of everyone. You can't heal Your Majesty well, and you don't allow others to treat them separately. If this is the case, the motives and intentions of the queen mother are really a little surprising. ”

Hearing this, Empress Xue was immediately speechless when asked.

After all, she knows better than others that Emperor Ming is a water Gu, and she will not be cured at all, so where can she guarantee a healing period.

Zhou Xianrui's early return to Beijing completely disrupted Empress Xue's layout, and Xiao Jinxuan's undead return is the biggest outlier.

Thinking of his side, he hadn't finished deploying yet, even if Empress Xue wanted to tear the two people in front of him apart, he had to endure it.

Extremely unwilling to return to the top of the phoenix, Empress Xue ordered someone to drive back to the palace immediately, and her mouth said coldly:

"Zhaoyang County Lord Yu Yue is gone, and you are still disgusting with such exquisite words. Okay, I hope that the people you bring will indeed have the ability to heal the emperor. This queen will return to Fengxiang Palace, the province is staying, I am afraid that in the eyes of you, this queen will become the rebel who has a strange heart. ”

Regarding Xue Hou's obviously unhappy words, whether it was Zhou Xianrui or Xiao Jinxuan, they didn't say a word.

Now that their goal has been achieved, it is simply a waste of time to engage in too many senseless verbal battles.

And when Zhou Xianrui talked to Shen Mu a few more words, the ministers who had been kneeling for two hours could be regarded as leaving one after another.

Xiao Jinxuan, who was standing aside and waiting quietly, watching all this.

Just when she was thinking about the various situations she might have to face after entering the palace, suddenly she only felt that her shoulder was patted from behind.

Then a laughing old man's voice, but with a hint of playfulness, came from behind her.

"You girl doll, you have sharp teeth and a sharp mouth. I heard the old man just now, and the queen was defeated by your questioning. Your female doll's temper towards me, or you will recognize me as a master, old man, I will take you to walk the rivers and lakes, and it is good to cure diseases and save people. ”

Turning to look at the septuagenarian who was standing behind her, looking at her with a smile, Xiao Jinxuan immediately knew who the other party was.

"It turned out to be Dr. Ding, why did you get off the carriage too. I have learned from Your Highness that your medical skills are excellent and you are even more helpful to the world, providing free medical treatment for the people in the disaster area. Jinxuan really admires your righteous deeds. Your Majesty's illness will have to be painstaking, and you will definitely have to do your best to diagnose and treat it. ”

This old man's surname is indeed Ding, and when he heard Xiao Jinxuan praise him, the old doctor Ding nodded his head again and again with great joy, and said with a smile:

"Your doll has a very sweet mouth, but don't keep those false courtesies, just call me Old Man Ding. Actually, I didn't want to get involved in Beijing, but that Rui Wang Ye is indeed a rare and wise person, and he is also extremely concerned about the people. That's why I decided to help him, old man, so don't worry, girl, I will do my best to save your emperor. As the saying goes, saving people is like fighting fires, so let's go. ”

Seeing the old man in front of her, she patted the big medicine box in her hand after speaking, Xiao Jinxuan didn't expect that the other party was still an impatient, and she couldn't help but laugh immediately.

And at this moment, Zhou Xianrui's side was also arranged, so without delay, it didn't take long for everyone to appear outside Emperor Ming's bedroom.

Deng Chang, who was standing on the corridor outside the hall, did not expect to see Zhou Xianrui at all, and after being stunned for a moment, he hurried up to greet him in surprise.

"When did you return to Beijing, just when did you come back, now someone is finally in charge of the overall situation."

Hearing this, although Xiao Jinxuan was speechless, her heart sank.

After all, Zhou Xianrui has been back in Beijing for a few days, but Deng Chang, who is the head of the imperial palace, doesn't know at all.

And this is enough to show that Empress Xue's control over this palace is much deeper than she thought.

As for Zhou Xianrui at this meeting, he saw him pull Deng Chang aside, and then asked with a solemn expression:

"Manager Deng, I know the things in this palace, no matter what, there are few things that can be hidden from you. I only want to ask you, whether my crown prince and brother are alive or dead now, you must tell me truthfully. ”

Don't look at the palace now, Empress Xue is in control, and the guards of the forbidden army are all at her disposal.

However, the largest group of people in this palace are not guards, but palace maids and eunuchs.

Especially the eunuchs, because they can't pass on the family in this life, although they are constantly fighting on weekdays, they are also extremely together.

And Deng Chang's status among the eunuchs in the palace is undoubtedly the most respected, and everyone regards him as a backer to rely on.

Therefore, almost every eunuch in this palace is Deng Chang's eyes and ears.

So maybe he really doesn't know what is going on outside the palace, but it's impossible to hide it from him inside the palace.

So after Deng Chang sighed heavily, he immediately knelt in front of Zhou Xianrui, and then said with a little choked up:

"Back to Your Highness, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is indeed no longer there. In fact, the servant had already reminded the prince that he would definitely stay in the emperor's palace and not go elsewhere without permission. But the prince was benevolent and filial, and the queen sent someone to invite the other party to dine together, but His Royal Highness and the crown princess did not come back. However, the minion has not told the emperor about this matter, after all, now the saint can only wake up for less than half an hour every day, and I am really afraid that he will not be able to stand the blow when he knows about this matter, and the situation will be even more unbearable at that time. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Xianrui couldn't help frowning and closing his eyes, and his heart would be in an extremely turbulent and shocking state.

After all, since he can remember, what he has seen and heard is how benevolent, humble and polite the eldest brother of the prince is.

Thinking of the future prince who he had been assisting all along, he was poisoned to death by Empress Xue so quietly.

Zhou Xianrui couldn't help but feel confused for a moment, and he didn't even know what he should do next.
