Chapter 350: Unpredictable
Zhou Huan's meaning was meaningful, in exchange for the greater anger of the Empress Dowager, but Qin Luoyu on the side didn't seem to be so impulsive.
"Empress Dowager, don't be angry yet. The queen mother is also in a hurry, so she is a little excited. ”
"No, it just so happens that this palace is calm now." Zhou Huan was aggressive (bī), and even had to let the Empress Dowager leave the bias (diàn) where Qi Yu was resting.
When she arrived at Zheng (diàn), the Empress Dowager was still angry, and Qin Luoyu on the side had to take the initiative to take over the conversation and said: "Empress Niangniang, the emperor's illness (qíng)?" ”
"The emperor was poisoned, and the antidote was found, but the person who poisoned him has not yet found out." In Ping (rì), Zhou Huan could still tolerate Qin Luoyu's cozy attitude, but at the moment, he didn't want to say a word.
"How can a good one be poisoned?" Only then did the Empress Dowager realize the seriousness of the problem (xìng), but after thinking about it, she seemed to have a different view of Zhou Huan.
"How did the queen know so well?" This tone is highly suspected to be Zhou Huan's poison.
平 (rì) felt that this empress dowager also valued more power, but today (rì) looked more like she had no brains, Zhou Huan was anxious, and she just wanted to quickly solve the problem here.
At this time, Xiao Liuzi pursued to no avail, and temporarily came back to report the news to Zhou Huan.
"Little Sixth Son, when did the emperor have an accident?" Zhou Huan set his eyes on Xiao Liuzi's (shēn).
Xiao Liuzi felt that the atmosphere was weird, knelt on the ground and hurriedly said: "Back to the queen, when the slave came back from Kunning Palace, the emperor was already poisoned. ”
Zhou Huan glanced at Xiao Liuzi with a smile, so it seems that the poison is undoubtedly under Xiao Liuzi, he will definitely get out of here in order to clear his suspicions, but unfortunately Xiao Liuzi chose Zhou Huan.
"So it seems that the suspicion of this palace has been ruled out?" knew that it was a strong word, but Zhou Huan didn't care at all, now that the palace was in danger, she had to ensure Qi Yu's safety.
"The emperor is now sick (qíng) and dangerous, so the concubine thinks that everyone in this palace is suspicious, so she also bothers to ask the empress dowager to return to the palace and let the concubine track down the murderer with peace of mind."
"You-"
The Empress Dowager never discovered Zhou Huan's sharp teeth and sharp mouth, but today (rì) has learned enough at once, I don't know if it was because of a weak heart or something else, the Empress Dowager really turned (shēn) and left.
Only one Qin Luoyu remained in place.
"What, is there any secret that Concubine Qin hasn't had time to tell this palace?" Zhou Huanzhuan (shēn) returned to her desk, and she needed to read a bunch of excerpts.
Qin Luoyu, who stayed in place, smiled, "The queen mother said that she was laughing, Lu Xiaoyu used her mother like that, and the concubine was also angry with her mother." ”
"Really?" Zhou Huan looked at Qin Luoyu with a smile, but his eyes were cold, "Lu Xiaoyu is indeed not a good person, and his brain is stupid, otherwise how could he be used as a live target by Concubine Qin?" ”
After going back and forth, the two of them actually became stronger with the meaning of aggressive (bī) people in their tones.
"Does the Queen remember this?"
Qin Luoyu smiled, slowly took out a cyan white porcelain bottle from his sleeve and put it on the table in front of Zhou Huan.
She only felt a faint fragrance wafting by, a little familiar, but for a moment she couldn't tell what it was.
Taking advantage of the moment when Zhou Huan lost his mind, Qin Luoyu, who had been standing next to Zhou Huan (shēn), suddenly took out a dagger from his sleeve, and the target was Zhou Huan who was a few steps away.
"The Queen."
Suddenly, an anxious voice came from outside (diàn), a warm male voice.
In an instant, Qin Luoyu quickly withdrew the dagger in his hand, and Zhou Huan immediately turned (shēn) to look at the door.
"Master Kuni." Zhou Huan nodded at the visitor, but his scarlet eyes still showed a little bit of (qíng).
Qi Fengmian saluted Zhou Huan, "The grass people greet the queen." ”
He himself is no longer a national teacher, and he opened his mouth to remind Zhou Huan.
"Han Zhaoguo needs a national teacher now." Zhou Huan was stubborn, and by the way, she thought of Qin Luoyu after (shēn), but found that she had already taken advantage of the two of them to talk and quietly retreated.
Qi Fengmian sighed, still kneeling on the ground, "Queen Mother, the matter (qíng) Weichen already knows, but since Weichen has left the position of this national teacher, he will definitely have no power to involve the court anymore." ”
It's not because he doesn't have a country in his heart, but because Qifengmian knows very well that this matter is not that simple.
"In this case, come here, pass on the will of the palace, start the wind and sleep outstandingly, and go forward and succeed for Han Zhaoguo, and hereby crown him as the king of Anping."
"Queen Mother, this ......"
Qi Fengmian looked at Zhou Huan in surprise, and when he tried to stop Zhou Huan, he found that Zhou Huan had another holy decree in his hand.
He opened it, and it was actually written by Qi Yu, which probably meant that once something happened to the emperor, then the empress of Zhou Huan (shēn) could be in charge of the affairs of the previous dynasty.
"I'm sorry, the situation is urgent, if I didn't really need your help, this palace wouldn't have made such a decision."
Although Qi Fengmian is arrogant, he is a courtier, and as long as it is the king's order, he has to listen to it.
Sure enough, Qi Fengmian hesitated for a moment but still nodded, "Please ask the queen mother to command." ”
This is probably the biggest obstacle for him not to enter the court as an official again, in the face of Zhou Huan, he always seems to make unconditional concessions, and he will also unconditionally give up his bottom line.
Next, Zhou Huan told Qi Fengmian about some important things (qíng) in the court, because of the previous contact, when discussing these things (qíng), it seemed quite tacit.
Qifengmian left the palace, and went to meet some close ministers with Zhou Huan's secret decree to prepare for the next day's morning. Qi Yu suddenly fell unconscious, but everything in Han Zhaoguo had to be carried out in an orderly manner.
After leaving, Zhou Huanping retreated from the crowd and stayed alone beside Qi Yu's (shēn).
After a busy day, she only felt very tired, and after widening the heavy coat outside, she lifted the quilt and lay down next to Qi Yu's (shēn).
"Ah Yu, don't worry, I will take care of everything." Zhou Huan snuggled up to Qi Yu's (shēn), and Qi Yu closed his eyes as if he were asleep.
The poison in him is called the Seven Star Poison, which is a long-lost poison in the rivers and lakes, and it is rumored to be a poison developed by a bitter (qíng) wife in the Western Regions because of her husband's successive thoughts.
Once the poisoned person has taken the drug, he will lie there like a living dead, unable to eat, his limbs will stiffen rapidly, and eventually his organs will fail quickly and die.
Zhou Huan didn't know that Qi Yu could support it for a few days, but with her life-sustaining pill for ten days, it should be okay.
She only has ten days, can Meng Qi rush back?
She didn't dare to think about it.
Cumbersome thoughts have been pressing on her heart, Zhou Huan tossed and turned for a long time, and finally closed her eyes and fell asleep.
When she opened her eyes again, Lumei was already standing by Zhou Huan's (chuáng) couch, followed by seven or eight palace maids, each holding clothes and jewelry in their hands.
"Queen Mother, the time for the early dynasty is almost up." Lumei cautiously reminded that there was a basin for cleansing her face.
……
In the court, the courtiers exchanged heads and ears below, and the discussion became louder and louder.
"You say, this queen is not going to be autocratic." The officials seemed to be very serious about it.
The soldiers who followed Qi Yu from birth to death also shouted noisily, "Now that the emperor (shēn) is infected with a vicious disease, you people who can only play with pen and ink should shut up." ”
"You ......," the official was anxious, "vulgar people, I really don't know what the use of the court to raise you?" ”
This also annoyed the general, and when the two sides were almost about to push each other, a man who was gentle and elegant, but had enough aura appeared.
"Above the court, are you planning to make trouble like this? The matter of eating the king and being loyal to the king, is it all a lie? ”
Qi Fengmian said as he walked to the front of the court with a solemn expression, and on his (shēn) side, on one side was Chu Xingchen, and on the other side was Su Li, the head of the hundred officials.
Today (rì), with the three of them here, I'm afraid this farce won't be able to get up.
"The Queen Mother has arrived—"
The eunuch's voice was two points sharp, but it didn't sound out of place at this time, at least his pitch was high enough.
"Duping (shēn)."
Zhou Huan stood silently and watched the ministers pay homage to her unwillingness, but she didn't have the slightest clue.
"Since his accession to the throne, the emperor has been suffering from a vicious illness and is now in a coma." Zhou Huan said, but he was also observing the reactions of the people below, "But there is no major problem, and within ten (rì), the palace guarantees that the emperor will reappear here." ”
She said word by word, word by word, and it was at this moment that the courtiers below dared to raise their heads slightly, and they were willing to look up and take a look at Zhou Huan on the high platform.
Zhou Huan (qíng), who was dressed in a heavy colorful phoenix robe, was solemn, with fair skin and a faint combing between his eyebrows and eyes. And the most important thing is that Zhou Huan didn't sit down, she just stood quietly in front of the dragon chair.
It turned out that the queen's attitude was not so tough and rude, once this kind of wavering mind appeared, the ministers looked at Zhou Huan with some other thoughts in their eyes.
"During the period of the emperor's recuperation, please invite the queen to preside over the government."
In the crowd, Su Li, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, usually Qi Yu was very fond of him, so his words had always been very appealing in the court.
"Please ask the queen to preside over the government." While speaking, most of the courtiers were already kneeling in front of Zhou Huan.
Now, only a few conservative politicians are still standing there with iron bones, unwilling to budge in the slightest.
Zhou Huan didn't speak, she just stood quietly, and Chu Xingchen, who was the first to speak.
"According to this king, the queen is close to the emperor (rì), and naturally understands the emperor's thoughts, if the ministers are not at ease, how about letting Qi Fengmian assist the government?"
Chu Xingchen has always been arrogant, and he called Qi Fengmian the same as before, and everyone had to listen quietly.
