As soon as he saw Ji Lingfeng coming out from behind the screen, Empress Chen immediately glared at him with an angry face, and then said with great dissatisfaction:

"Mo Feng, you can see it clearly behind the screen, it's all your good idea, saying that it is to ask the mourning family to persuade King Yongchang to let the other party support me to listen to the government. But now it's okay, I didn't see what you said about the power of the government and the opposition, but this number of people simply swept my face. You said how the mourning family should punish you, so that you can relieve the anger in your heart. ”

Just when Empress Chen scolded Ji Lingfeng, Xiangping, who saw King Yongchang leave and went to the side hall to avoid suspicion, also returned to the Heart Cultivation Hall accompanied by Yu An.

And as soon as she entered the hall, Xiangping looked at Empress Chen's angry eyes at Ji Lingfeng, and immediately she only felt very distressed, and hurriedly stepped forward to plead and said:

"The queen mother is angry, for the sake of Mo Feng's always being able and loyal, you can't really punish the other party ruthlessly for an occasional mistake. And the emperor would rather believe that he knows his goddaughter, and the seventh brother, a prince who only has half the blood of my Great Zhou, but he does not want to ask you to take charge of the government and listen to the court. Speaking of which, this is all the emperor's old foolishness, and he doesn't think about my royal family at all. He was so unreasonable, Mo Feng couldn't predict it, and it was understandable. ”

Empress Dowager Chen has always loved Xiangping's daughter the most, so she was persuaded by the other party, and she also knew the importance of Ji Lingfeng's brain.

Therefore, after taking a deep breath, Empress Dowager Chen took advantage of Xiangping's words not to talk about punishment.

When she sat down on the chair from the new seat, Empress Chen couldn't help frowning and said unwillingly:

"Now it seems that it is impossible to ask King Yongchang to help, Mo Feng, do you have any good way, so that the mourning family can smoothly listen to the government. Why doesn't the old prince understand the hard work of the queen, this country is my son's, and it is left to others to take care of, naturally I, the queen mother, will not harm Xianrui. When he is well and can govern, can the mourning family still occupy the power of the court and not return it? ”

Hearing Empress Chen's words, Ji Lingfeng couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

In fact, no matter how righteous the queen mother is, but between the other party's words, the greed for imperial power cannot be concealed.

Although he knew this, Ji Lingfeng did not break it, and even wished that Empress Chen would take power, because this meant that the power in his hands would become bigger and bigger.

Even Ji Lingfeng felt that Empress Chen was so stupid, sooner or later the power he controlled would surpass the other party after all.

At that time, even if this imperial power is the world of the Zhou family, as long as he Ji Lingfeng is in power, the real emperor of this dynasty must be him.

However, although Ji Lingfeng's heart is very large, he also knows that it is not the time to reveal it.

And now he still has to make good use of Empress Chen, so in the face of the queen mother's inquiry, he couldn't help but immediately bow down and answer:

"It is indeed not easy for the Queen Mother to devote herself to the court and society, but if you want to listen to the government, one of the ways is to get the support of the royal family. And Yongchang Wang is indeed the best candidate, but now it seems that this road will not work. ”

Having said this, Ji Lingfeng paused, and then turned his head to look at Zhou Xianrui, who was still in a coma.

Then a feminine and calculating look flashed in his eyes, and then he continued to speak with bewilderment:

"But even if King Yongchang is unwilling to help, as long as the emperor personally decrees that the empress dowager will be the prison country. From the royal family to the harem, whoever dares to be meaningful is disrespectful, and the mother can naturally listen to the government. It's just that now His Majesty doesn't know when he will wake up, and if he wants this method to be feasible, he must give the emperor a tiger and wolf medicine to temporarily stimulate people to wake up. However, drinking heavy medicine will inevitably hurt the body, and it is up to the Queen Mother to decide whether to do so or not. ”

The so-called tiger and wolf medicine is generally extremely fast.

But most of them are given to people who are critically ill, so that the other party can wake up for a while, say two last words to their families, and then pass away without regrets.

Therefore, this kind of medicine is usually not prescribed by the Jedi, although the effect is significant in a short period of time, but it is extremely depleting to the human body, and the side effects are too huge.

And Empress Dowager Chen has lived in the palace for a long time, so she has naturally seen the concubine who is about to die take this kind of medicine, so she naturally knows how powerful it is.

Zhou Xianrui is her biological son, although Empress Dowager Chen does have a trace of desire for power in her heart.

But she was not so mad that she went to give Zhou Xianrui the medicine of the tiger and wolf in order to listen to the government, so she categorically refused without thinking about it.

But Empress Chen's original intention was not to bear to harm her parents and children, but she still had Xiangping, a daughter who specializes in demagoguery, by her side.

Therefore, seeing that Empress Chen was not allowed, Xiangping exchanged glances with Ji Lingfeng, and immediately his eyes turned red, and then said with tears in his eyes:

"Queen Mother, what do you say is wrong with my Da Zhou, first my father died in the rebellion, and now the Xue family of the Prime Minister's Mansion has been removed, but the imperial brother is sick again. You feel sorry for your brother's heart, but if you don't give the imperial brother the medicine of the tiger and wolf, then we have to watch the government fall into the hands of the seventh brother. It's not that the daughter doesn't believe in the seventh brother, but if he is in charge of the country with the support of the Yongchang Emperor, it is likely that Jinxuan will take advantage of the situation to interfere in politics, which is what her daughter is most worried about. After all, don't forget that the other party is a descendant of the Beirong royal family. ”

If this person has a high-sounding reason and motive before committing evil, then he will feel that what he is doing is reasonable, and even feel that he is saving the common people.

Just now, Empress Chen was reluctant to hurt Zhou Xianrui, but after being buckled by Xiangping's several righteous and awe-inspiring high hats, the Queen Mother, who had always been quite persistent in power, was immediately shaken.

After all, Empress Chen has always had a dead knot in her heart, she is always secretly comparing with the dead Xue Yi, and she feels that only by surpassing the other party can she justifiably be more like a queen mother.

Therefore, for Xue Yi's one-handed cover in the harem in the past, Empress Chen can now be said to be like this, and she feels that only she has the power to lean towards the government and the opposition, so that all civil and military officials must obey her dispatch, so that she can stabilize the abolition of the queen mother.

Therefore, this will be Xiangping's demagogic words, which can be regarded as the last stone that overwhelmed the conscience in Empress Chen's heart, what kind of love for the son, whether the harem can not interfere in politics has become unimportant at this moment.

Therefore, he saw that the hesitation in Empress Chen's eyes disappeared, and immediately called Ji Lingfengxuan's henchman Imperial Doctor Liang over, and secretly gave Zhou Xianrui the medicine of the tiger and wolf.

Even if Empress Dowager Chen knew that by doing this, she was completely depleting Zhou Xianrui's body.

But she would have had the right reasons and excuses in her mind, so she didn't feel that she was wrong at all.

On the contrary, Empress Chen felt that all that she was doing now was simply forced by Xiao Jinxuan and Zhou Xianyu.

And Empress Dowager Chen subconsciously avoided thinking that everything she was doing now was for the sake of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the consolidation of the country, and she had no choice but to hurt Zhou Xianrui.

Just when Empress Chen had advised herself countless times in her heart that none of this was what she was willing to do, and wishful thinking put the blame on Xiao Jinxuan.

Imperial Doctor Liang, who acted according to orders over there, had already finished pouring all the decoction medicine to Zhou Xianrui.

So this time, it didn't take long for Zhou Xianrui to slowly open his eyes after a whisper.

In the end, it is her own child, even if Empress Chen was bewitched by Xiangping to agree to give Zhou Xianrui the medicine of the tiger and wolf under the influence of power in her heart.

But when she saw that this son woke up, Empress Chen, who had been worried for several days, still shed tears, and her face was full of concern.

And Zhou Xianrui, who had just woken up, couldn't help frowning and immediately asked after his mind sobered up:

"Queen Mother, Imperial Sister, why are you all here, I remember that I seemed to know nothing after seeing Jinxuan before. Now it seems that I have been in a coma for some time, and I wonder if the previous dynasty is still stable, and if there are any important political matters to deal with. ”

Zhou Xianrui may have become more and more suspicious since he ascended the throne, but it is undeniable that Emperor Ming did not misunderstand this son at the beginning.

And Zhou Xianrui, who worries about the country and the people, only woke up and couldn't even care about his own actions, and he can indeed be called a good emperor who is diligent and loves the people.

As soon as he heard the other party's words, seeing that Empress Chen would cry, and couldn't even say a complete sentence, Xiangping couldn't help but hurriedly said with a caring face:

"Brother Huang, you can scare the imperial sister and the queen mother to death, you have been in a coma for five days. However, the government is now supervised by Emperor Yongchang and Brother Qi, so don't worry. ”

Having said this, Xiang Ping immediately glanced at Ji Lingfeng, who was standing behind, and the other party immediately handed over a bowl of soup medicine.

After receiving the medicine in his hand, Xiangping couldn't help but look at Zhou Xianrui again, with a kind smile on his face, and said in an extremely sweet voice:

"Brother Huang, don't think about anything else now, the most important thing is to recuperate with peace of mind. The imperial doctor has already said that this time the brother fell into a coma because of overwork and worry, plus the heart and lung damage and the onset of illness, which led to a high fever that did not go away. Therefore, although the imperial brother has not woken up for the past few days, the decoction sent by Zhaoyang Palace inherited from Ding Lao has not been interrupted for a day. Jinxuan also sent the medicine today, since my brother is awake, it is better to take it sooner, such a good one will be faster. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiangping handed the medicine to Empress Chen, who was sitting in front of the dragon couch.

Then he was looking at Xiangping, and immediately looked extremely considerate, and stepped forward to help Zhou Xianrui get up.

Regarding this sister's actions, Zhou Xianrui couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and immediately nodded with a smile, and let the other party help him.

Maybe it was because Xiangping didn't have enough strength, or maybe she didn't pay attention, so she helped Zhou Xianrui up, staggered to the ground, and took several steps backwards unsteadily.

As a result, at this moment, she happened to collide with Chen Hou, who was sitting on the side.

Unprepared, this will be thinking in his heart, how to make Zhou Xianrui agree to her curtain to listen to the government, Chen Hou, who was holding the decoction in his hand, fell directly to the ground.

And the medicine was sprinkled, but the clothes of Xiangping and Chen were drenched with a little thick and bitter stains.

As for Xiangping at this meeting, when she saw that she was in trouble, she actually spilled Zhou Xianrui's medicine, and immediately she even ignored the medicine all over the ground, and immediately knelt on the ground by mistake.

But just when Xiangping was lying on the ground with her hands and was about to apologize to Zhou Xianrui, she suddenly let out a surprise in great surprise, and then raised her right hand.

Immediately after that, Xiang Ping pointed with her left hand, and she was wearing the extremely fine silver bracelet on her right wrist, which would become black due to the stains on the medicine, and immediately shouted with a frightened face:

"Brother, look, the decoction sent by Zhaoyang Palace is poisonous, and the imperial brother Xiao Jinxuan wants to assassinate you, and she wants to kill the monarch."
