It was the imperial physician who opened his mouth first and said, "Your Majesty... The cold poison in the body of this queen mother has invaded, and I am afraid that there will be few days to live. ”

Qi Hongxin couldn't believe what he heard, and said, "Imperial Doctor Wang, do you know what you're talking about?" ”

A group of ministers kowtowed one after another and said, "The emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life." ”

Qi Hongxin was angry: "Shut up for me, Imperial Doctor Wang, can you tell me that this queen's body has always been fine, why is it like this now?" ”

Mrs. Wang wiped the cold sweat with her sleeves and replied: "Your Majesty, in fact, the queen's body has been very bad a long time ago. ”

Qi Hongxin kicked directly in the chest of Imperial Physician Wang: "What did you say?" It's been bad for a long time, so you used to say that the queen only needs to recuperate, are you all lying? You dare to bully the king, come here, drag the imperial doctor out to me and behead him. ”

Doctor Wang immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy: "The emperor spares his life, the emperor has long known about this matter." ”

Qi Hongxin stumbled and asked weakly, "What did you say?" ”

Imperial Physician Wang immediately answered: "Your Majesty, this is true, think about it, with the queen's own medical skills, how could she not know?" In fact, the queen mother already knew about it a year ago, but she never said it, and the queen mother asked the officials to keep it secret. ”

Qi Hongxin asked, "How is the queen's body now?" ”

Imperial Physician Wang immediately told Qi Hongxin everything he knew: "Your Majesty, the queen's mother injured her body because of the cold poison entering her body, and she poisoned herself this time, and this toxin led the cold poison out, so this time she came so turbulently." ”

Qi Hongxin waved his hand weakly: "Get out." When everyone left, Qi Hongxin stood beside Wen Ling's bed, speechless for a long time, and Mu Sheng comforted: "Your Majesty, the minister is also very sad to learn about this matter, but Your Majesty, you still have to mourn, now that there are so many things in the court, you have to take care of yourself." ”

Qi Hongxin said lightly: "Master Mu, you can also go out, I want to stay alone with her for a while." ”

Mu Sheng left, closed the door of the room, Qi Hongxin sat on a low stool, but didn't want to say anything, looking at Wen Ling lying quietly on the bed, I don't know how many times this scene has happened, but she said that she was fine, and the imperial doctor and the poison saint also said that she was fine, so he really believed it.

Now I find that he himself is really stupid, if it weren't for him, there would be no need for Ling'er to bear many things, if it weren't for him, the mother concubine wouldn't have done anything to Ling'er, if it weren't for him, Ling'er wouldn't have to go to the rivers and lakes at all, wouldn't have to meet that Ling Yuanchen, and wouldn't have been harmed like this.

All of this originally had nothing to do with her, she was forcibly added to this, Qi Hongxin didn't know what her mood was now, her father was gone, her mother was gone, her sister went to Huguo Temple, and now even Ling'er has to be taken away by God, is it because he has done too much evil, so this is God's punishment for him.

Qi Hongxin has been staying in Fengwu Palace, when Qingping put down the child, he saw Mu Sheng standing in front of the gate of Fengwu Palace, seeing that it was already late at night, Qingping wanted to go in and ask Qi Hongxin to rest, but Mu Sheng said: "Qingping father-in-law, let the emperor accompany the queen alone, don't worry about him." ”

Because Qingping was not there when the imperial doctor spoke, Qingping asked, "Lord Mu, how is the queen mother?" What did the Imperial Doctor say? ”

Mu Sheng shook his head and left, his mood was no less sad than Qi Hongxin's now, Wen Ling was not only his sister, but also the teacher's only daughter for him, but he didn't protect her, he didn't have the face to meet the teacher.

The palace lights of Fengwu Palace were lit overnight, and when it was time to go to the court the next day, Qingping was about to go in and call Qi Hongxin, but the door was opened from the inside, and Qi Hongxin walked out of it with a tired look.

Before Qingping could speak, Mu Sheng said, "Let's go, go to the court." ”

After Qingping finished changing Qi Hongxin's clothes, the two of them went directly to the court, what happened recently, what happened yesterday, all need an explanation.

Today is the happiest day for all the uninformed adults, yesterday, the three dukes left behind are a few ministers, and many people only heard later that the prime minister of Qin rebelled, the emperor woke up, the queen was in a coma again, and today I saw the emperor sitting on the dragon chair, and I was a little emotional.

Qingping said in a loud voice: "Go to the court." This is really the beginning, Qi Hongxin said: "I believe that all Aiqing have a lot of questions about what happened recently, right?" Today I will tell you that I fainted that morning, and the queen said that I was poisoned, but in this palace, there are people in the palace who have tested poison, so I have something to do, but the palace people are fine, which is very interesting.

The queen mother heard Qingping say that I had drunk and eaten, and the only one who had not been tested by the palace people was a bowl of tonic soup given to me by the criminal concubine Qin Zhen, and after the queen mother knew about it, she cooperated with a play, so Prime Minister Qin couldn't wait to rebel, revealing his fox tail, I don't know what the adults think about this incident? ”

Sangong said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that this thief should be beheaded on the street to show the public, and the daughter of this thief is also the biological mother of the emperor's eldest son.

There is also this eldest son of the Qin family, who knows right and wrong and kills his relatives, the old minister thinks it can be used, Lord Mu has also done a lot of things this time, and the old minister feels that he can be a big responsibility. ”

Qi Hongxin nodded: "What about the others?" Any other comments? ”

Now the most nervous is Lord Yang, who has made it difficult for Wen Ling, Taifu knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister has no eyes this time, mistakenly believes in the anti-thief, and also says a lot of things for the anti-thief, the old minister is old, and he also asks the emperor to allow the old minister to resign and return to his hometown." ”

Qi Hongxin nodded: "Taifu has taught me for many years, and he is also my enlightenment teacher, since the teacher can leave, then I will not keep the teacher." ”

Qi Hongxin looked at Lord Yang: "Lord Yang, I heard that the time when the queen mother lowered the curtain to listen to the government, you deliberately embarrassed her, I don't know what you say?" Do you agree with what the queen said? You have served in the household department for so many years, and the problem that you have not been able to solve, the queen mother has completely solved it in one time, I don't know what you have to say? ”

Lord Yang trembled and knelt down and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, the minister knows that he is wrong, and the minister invites himself to go to the northwest to help the officials dig up the tributaries, make up for the mistakes of the lower officials for so many years, and ask the emperor to fulfill them." ”

Qi Hongxin said lightly: "Since Lord Yang knows that he is wrong, then without further ado, let's set off tomorrow, I hope that at this time next year, this kind of thing will not happen in the northwest." ”

Lord Yang immediately kowtowed and apologized: "Thank you, thank you, the emperor, thank you to the queen." ”

Qi Hongxin asked again: "I heard that there are still a few adults who force the queen to make a prince?" I don't know if it's the adults? I'm here now, and it's better to talk to me in person about the establishment of the prince. ”

Several adults thought that this matter had passed, but they didn't expect that the emperor would mention it again, and several adults immediately knelt down and asked for guilt: "The emperor forgives the sin, the ministers and others are only worried about the fortunes of the Great Qi country, so they let the queen make the prince, and the ministers know that they are wrong." ”

Qi Hongxin looked at a few people, and just said lightly: "If I remember correctly, last time the young ladies of several adults' families framed the queen mother together with the concubine, and they were warned by me, and now you dare to target the queen mother without repentance, this time it is just a ploy between me and the queen mother, if I really can't do it, are you going to force my queen to death?" ”

Several adults trembled with fright, stumbled and said, "The ministers don't dare." ”

Qi Hongxin shouted angrily: "Don't dare? Presumptuous, you still dare to kneel in the Palace of Heart Cultivation to force the queen, is there anything else you don't dare? Now get out of here, don't get up until dark, tomorrow you all go to the remote area to work, I see that you have been a Beijing official for too long, I don't know what to say. ”

Several adults were directly destroyed in front of the main hall, and Qi Hongxin asked again: "Everyone, Aiqing, this traitor has been arrested, and this prime minister is vacant, I don't know who you adults think, who is more suitable?" ”

The third duke came out of the column and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Master Mu can take on this great responsibility, he is a student of Prime Minister Wen and the champion of the imperial examination, and he is also clever enough to do things this time, and the old minister recommends Lord Mu." ”

Qi Hongxin continued to ask: "These three princes recommend Lord Mu, I don't know what other high opinions the ministers have?" ”

No one dares to speak, I always feel that this prime minister's position is a little terrible, the first prime minister is only a county lord left in the Manchu Mansion, and this prime minister is Manfu and only leaves a son and a daughter, which makes people feel that this prime minister's position is not very good.

Seeing that no one spoke, Lord Hubu Wang came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that Lord Mu can take on this important task, he is a student taught by Prime Minister Wen, whether it is Lord Mu or the queen's mother, they are all very outstanding people, there is such a good teacher as Prime Minister Wen, Lord Mu's talent, character, and official way should not be too bad." ”

Qi Hongxin smiled: "Since everyone has no opinion, then good, Lord Xuanmu will meet you." ”

Because Mu Sheng had just been transferred back to Beijing and had no official position, he was not qualified to go to the early dynasty, so at this time, he and Qin Shu were also waiting outside the main hall.

Qingping's father-in-law shouted: "Lord Xuanmu is here." ”

Mu Sheng walked in, walked to the front of the hall and knelt down: "The lower official has seen the emperor." ”

Qi Hongxin said: "Master Mu, in terms of essays, character and being an official, I think Lord Mu is excellent, and the third prince and Lord Wang have recommended you to be the prime minister, do you think you may be able to take on it?" ”

Mu Sheng said: "Your Majesty, although the lower officials have not been in the court for a long time, there are still many things that are not enough to learn. ”
