Chapter 724: Fighting for the Throne
Qin Keqing lay on the bed, thinking about the current situation in the palace.
Under herself, the queen, it is Shi Xiangyun and Xue Baochai.
And Shi Xiangyun is innocent and has no children, if she can become the queen after her death, then her children will definitely be safe.
But thinking of Xue Baochai, Qin Keqing frowned a little, although Xue Baochai is now inferior to Shi Xiangyun in terms of identity, but after all, she is also a concubine, and together with her sister Xue Baoqin, she is quite favored by Jia Ke.
The most important thing is that Xue Baochai has a son, plus Xue Baochai has a good heart, if Shi Xiangyun hadn't become the queen and let Xue Baochai stay in Kunning Palace, Xue Baochai would definitely look at Jia Zhi born to the previous queen for his son.
Then the consequences are very obvious, in order to make his child the eldest son, Xue Baochai is congenitally in an advantage on the throne, and he will definitely try his best to poison his Jia Zhi.
Qin Keqing felt very worried every time he thought of this, and at the same time began to be angry with his body.
Qin Keqing is now thinking that he still wants to beat the side drum with several big figures in the palace, add some weight to Shi Xiangyun, and strive to let Shi Xiangyun live in Kunning Palace after his death.
Only in this way can Xue Baochai be temporarily suppressed, as long as Xue Baochai can't become the queen, she won't dare to be unscrupulous, and her son Jia Zhi, with the status of the eldest son, will also have a high chance of inheriting the throne in the future.
After Qin Keqing thought of this, she let out a long breath, the only thing she could do now was to pave more roads for her son before she died.
Besides, at Xue Baochai in Chengqian Palace, Shi Xiangyun had just come out of Qin Keqing's Kunning Palace, and someone reported the news to Xue Baochai.
The current Xue Baochai, after Qin Keqing became seriously ill, had already set his eyes on that position.
Moreover, Xue Baochai pulled the people in the palace, and finally thought that only she and Shi Xiangyun could inherit the queen's throne.
Shi Xiangyun is the niece and granddaughter of the Empress Dowager, and she will definitely get the strong support of the Empress Dowager in the future, and she has a great advantage over herself in the future.
And his reliance in the palace is only the queen mother, and all the people in the palace have already understood that the queen mother is not respected by Jia Ke.
If it weren't for the feudal etiquette, the queen mother would probably be left aside. Then now the only one who can help herself is the Empress Dowager Zhou.
Xue Baochai thought about it, she got along with the Empress Dowager Zhou, and found that there was no place to offend the Empress Dowager Zhou, and because of her thoughtful etiquette, the Empress Dowager Zhou had a good impression of herself.
But Shi Xiangyun is different, when the Empress Dowager Zhou was still her aunt, Shi Xiangyun was arrogant and didn't care much about the Empress Dowager Zhou, and the relationship between the two was just plain.
Xue Baochai thought of this, and finally showed some smiles on his face, no matter how majestic the Queen Mother is, I am afraid that she will not be able to withstand the affection between mother and son.
After Xue Baochai made up his mind, he finally put some mind at ease, but this kind of thing must not wait and see, if he doesn't take active action, I'm afraid he will fall behind others.
So Xue Baochai summoned his personal eunuch Wang Shun, "There are a few pearls here in this palace, you take them to Li Deshan and Li Gonggong next to the emperor, and you will say that this palace is watching and serving the emperor's hard work and rewarding him." ”
After Wang Shun took the bag, he bowed down and took a few steps back, not daring to ask the reason. Just quit the Chengqian Palace.
After Wang Shun left, Xue Baochai thought that it was also very important to have a Li Gui by the emperor's side, if only one person was given, the other person would not get any benefits, I am afraid it would be bad.
So Xue Baochai ordered someone to take out a coral and asked the eunuchs under his command to give it to Li Gui.
Sure enough, Xue Baochai's money offensive is still very effective.
After Jia Ke's two personal eunuchs received Xue Baochai's heavy gifts, although they didn't understand what Xue Baochai asked them to do, they still gave Xue Baochai's sisters a few good words in front of Jia Ke.
Therefore, during this time, Jia Ke spent almost all of her time on their sisters.
Even Xue Baochai's son, Qi Wang Jia Hui, is now quite liked by Jia Ke.
And when Qin Keqing saw this situation, he still didn't understand Xue Baochai's thoughts.
It was precisely because Qin Keqing saw Xue Baochai's non-stop movements that she became more and more anxious, so she didn't care about the heaviness of her illness, and reluctantly ordered someone to set up a soft sedan chair, she wanted to go to Ningshou Palace to ask the Empress Dowager for peace.
Although Ruizhu on the side persuaded him several times, Qin Keqing also worked hard for the future of his children.
Rui Zhu really couldn't persuade Qin Keqing, so he could only make the software package tight, so that Qin Keqing would not be affected by the wind when he sat inside.
Qin Keqing came to Ningshou Palace in a soft sedan chair, and asked people to report inside.
And Jia's mother in Ningshou Palace received a report from the little eunuch, saying that the queen Qin Keqing was asking to see her outside.
After Mother Jia heard this, her eyes flickered a little, Mother Jia was a person who had been fighting in the back house all her life, and now Qin Keqing is not very good, it seems that it will not be long.
In this knotted eye, what is Qin Keqing doing when he doesn't recuperate in his palace and comes to himself?
But Qin Keqing is the queen of the day after all, and she, although she is the queen mother, she can't give her no face, so she can only order someone to help Qin Keqing in.
After Qin Keqing came in, with the support of the maid and eunuch, he reluctantly gave Jia's mother a salute, and then was arranged by Jia's mother to sit aside.
"Queen, you don't have this body and bones in the palace, why do you come to my old lady?"
After listening to Mother Jia's words, Qin Keqing could only smile reluctantly, and then said: "The concubine hasn't come to see Lafayette for a long time, and she took advantage of the good spirit of the past two days to come to greet Lafayette, and I don't know when I will be able to see you again in the future." ”
When Qin Keqing said this, there were tears in his eyes.
Jia Mu is a person who likes to gather and not like to disperse, and she is not happy when she hears about these separations and partings. Especially now that Jia's mother is old, she doesn't like to hear others say anything about life and death.
Now that Mother Jia heard that Qin Keqing had the meaning of life and death, she felt a little unkind to see her in her heart.
"My old bones are still complete, I think the queen you should go back to the palace, hurry up and recuperate."
Qin Keqing had already heard the displeasure in Jia's mother's heart, but she didn't leave according to Jia's mother's wishes, but said: "Lafayette, I'm afraid I can't tell the truth with my body." After I left, I didn't know who should call the shots in this harem. ”
When Mother Jia heard Qin Keqing say this, her eyes shot a sharp light, she looked Qin Keqing up and down, and then a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Jia Mu already understood what Qin Keqing meant, and now in Jia Ke's harem, except for Qin Keqing, Shi Xiangyun and Xue Baochai are respected.
Mother Jia naturally hopes that Shi Xiangyun, who is from her mother's family, will take over the position of queen after Qin Keqing's death.
But if Qin Keqing was dying, he could say a few words to Jia Ke, with Jia Ke's feelings for Qin Keqing over the years, plus his old grandmother blowing the corners next to him, I wanted to ask Jia Ke to agree.
Now Mother Jia naturally couldn't clear her feelings, but said to her with a smile: "Good boy, it's not in vain that I hurt you, among this granddaughter-in-law, I have long seen that you are the first." ”
Qin Keqing sat down, listening to Jia Mu's praise, coughed, and her eyes showed excitement, it seemed that Jia Mu understood what she meant.
"Sister Shi is the purest of these sisters around the emperor, and I will definitely talk more in front of the emperor."
After listening to this, Jia Mu nodded, and then said: "Poor thing, you are all sick like this, and you are still worried about them, don't worry, they will not forget your thoughts." ”
Qin Keqing was relieved after listening to it, she still believed in Jia's mother's words, although Jia's mother was a little utilitarian, but now she was the most noble woman in the world, and there would never be any regrets about what came out of her mouth.
With just a few words, the two of them reached a deal, Qin Keqing would talk to Shi Xiangyun more in front of Jia Ke, and strive to let Shi Xiangyun ascend to the throne of the queen after his death.
And Jia Mu has also promised Qin Keqing that she will properly settle the King of Chu, and now these two people can be regarded as taking what they need.
Qin Keqing moved frequently here, and Xue Baochai was not idle there.
Since knowing that Qin Keqing began to arrange the funeral, Xue Baochai has to go to Cining Palace every day to ask the Empress Dowager Zhou for peace.
And to be honest, Empress Dowager Zhou still likes Xue Baochai very much.
It's just because although Xue Baochai is beautiful, but she is that dignified and steady beauty, not as shocking as Qin Keqing was back then, but the man was a little soulless and a little charming when he saw it.
What's more, Xue Baochai was one of the few girls in Jiafu who respected herself when she was still her aunt.
Therefore, the Empress Dowager Zhou was still very happy that Xue Baochai came to ask for peace every day, and every time she came, she held Xue Baochai's hand and talked to her for a long time.
Sometimes when Qiao Lian brought King Wu over, she was a little jealous when she looked at the harmony between the two of them.
And who is Xue Baochai? She had already seen Qiao Lian's little jealousy, so Xue Baochai only flattered Qiao Lian a little, and Qiao Lian almost regarded Xue Baochai as her own sister.
And as time goes by, Qin Keqing's health is getting worse and worse, although Jia Ke has been a little snub to Qin Keqing during this time, but after all, the two are a young couple, and Jia Ke still has feelings for Qin Keqing.
Therefore, after Jia Ke finished dinner that day, he received a report from the imperial doctor, saying that Qin Keqing's health was getting worse and worse, and I am afraid that it would be a month.
Jia Ke was silent for a long time after listening to this, to say that Qin Keqing's current appearance has something to do with Jia Ke's deliberate estrangement.
If Jia Ke could comfort Qin Keqing and take care of her from time to time when she was anxious, Qin Keqing might not have such a psychological burden, and her illness would not be so serious.
