Ling Guiren's eyes did not escape Chu Yunning's eyes, but she pretended not to see it, lowered her head and continued to talk to her about Emperor Mingwen's recent affairs.

"I heard Gonggong Mo mention that every time the emperor is upset, you are by your side and make some snacks......"

"Yes, the emperor only loves to eat the snacks I make." Ling Guiren seemed to have thought of something, and got up to prepare snacks.

Chu Yunning raised his eyebrows, sat leisurely on the soft collapse, squinted his eyes and smiled lightly and said; "If the emperor can taste Ling Guiren's dim sum, maybe he will remember the past."

When the words fell, she watched Ling Guiren trot up with her skirt, seeing this, Chu Yunning couldn't help but curl her lips and sneer, she knew why bother today.

An hour later, Ling Guiren made three plates of dim sum, which were still steaming hot when they came out of the oven, and handed them to Chu Yunning in a food box.

"I know that the emperor doesn't want to see me now, so I will trouble you to hand over this snack to the emperor, don't worry, you will be grateful for your kindness to me today."

Chu Yunning took the food box and smiled slightly: "Then I'll wait for Ling Guiren to regain his strength and make a comeback." ”

"Go ahead, don't let the dim sum get cold."

"Okay."

Chu Yunning ate the dim sum halfway, I have to say that Ling Guiren's craftsmanship is not bad, sweet but not greasy, and the taste is just right.

Remember the URL

When I arrived at the gate of the council hall, I happened to meet the prime minister.

"Chu Shang Palace?"

I haven't seen him for a few months, and the prime minister seems to be several years old, with fine and dense wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, his eyes are cloudy, and he is fierce.

"Prime Minister Gong." Chu Yunning leaned over.

Prime Minister Gong smiled and raised his hand: "The old man can't afford the gift of Chu Shang Palace, I haven't seen you for a long time, Chu Shang Palace seems to be more high-spirited, and several concubines in the harem are degraded, they are gone, they are dead, and no one will dare to offend you in the future." ”

There was a hint of ridicule in these words, Chu Yunning pursed her lips, she was not annoyed, and smiled: "These should be the queen's duties, I am also sharing the queen's worries, and the prime minister should thank me." ”

"You!" Prime Minister Gong's face changed slightly, and it took a long time to come to his senses: "Chu Shang Palace, don't be too arrogant, when the emperor doesn't need you one day, you can only be swept away!" ”

Chu Yunning looked proud: "Please rest assured at this point, the emperor will never have a day when he doesn't need me, after all, Gu poison is difficult to solve, as long as I am here, the emperor can be safe." ”

At the mention of Gu poison, Prime Minister Gong's face sank inch by inch, and he stared at Chu Yunning with squinted eyes.

"If I stay in the palace for a day, I will never be subservient to others, even if it is the queen!" Chu Yunning raised his chin, pretending to be arrogant, and the angry palace prime minister was speechless, and walked away with a snort.

Prime Minister Gong is known as the old fox, and in just a few rounds, Prime Minister Gong was stunned and suppressed his anger.

It is worthy of being the first of the hundred officials.

I have to think of a way to provoke the prime minister of the palace, and the figure of Yuan Guifei suddenly flashed in my mind, so I changed the direction and returned to the Qingluan Palace, and sure enough, I saw Yuan Guifei enjoying the cool under the pavilion, and when she came, Yuan Guifei got up and smiled slightly: "Sister Chu is back." ”

Chu Yunning bowed her head lightly, sat aside, and before she could speak, Concubine Yuan said in a soft tone: "I know that Sister Chu is here for her father." ”

"Yes." She didn't deny it.

Concubine Yuan sighed lightly: "My father has a stubborn personality, and he will never compromise easily, and in my father's eyes, the glory of the family is better than everything." ”

Even the queen is just a pawn of the family in his eyes, not a beloved daughter, the palace family is a hundred-year-old family, generations, children and grandchildren, just like an intricate tree, it is not overnight to eradicate it.

"Listen to what you mean, Prime Minister Gong would rather die than give in?"

Concubine Yuan pursed her lips, in the history books, the fate of the palace prime minister's family was that three generations of the clan were cut in half, exiled within the nine clans, and a few decades later, a fish that slipped through the net entered the court incognito for revenge, and became the biggest traitor in the past hundred years, of course, this is all a later story.

"The higher you climb, the worse you fall, if Sister Chu has a way to make the Gong family hurt their muscles and bones and not wipe out the whole army, I am willing to cooperate with you."

Yuan Guifei's ideological consciousness was something she didn't expect, and she didn't even say a word of nonsense, so she took the initiative to agree to help.

"In the back position, it is impossible for my sister to give in, according to my father's temperament, my sister will die in the position of the queen."

Chu Yunning also recognized this, a abolished queen is definitely a shameful existence for the wang clan.

"Father has probably guessed the emperor's intentions, if my father is allowed to see the eldest sister, I expect to say something and let the eldest sister act in advance."

Concubine Yuan's words reminded her that the princess of Yunlan Kingdom came to ask for the throne by name, but Emperor Mingwen did not express his position for a long time, but instead sent someone to greet him, and the old fox of the palace prime minister couldn't do anything just in case.

"Sister Chu, eldest sister, she will definitely agree for the sake of the family's prosperity." Yuan Guifei said,

Chu Yunning looked at the concubine Yuan deeply, and suddenly said: "I will intercede with the emperor for you, give you a new identity, let you leave the palace, and go to Shudi, we can still get together in Shu in the future." ”

"Thank you Sister Chu for your kindness."

The superfluous words were tacitly acknowledged, and no one mentioned them again.

Two hours later

The prime minister of the palace went to visit the queen, and within half an hour of entering, the queen mother took people to visit the queen.

The queen was lying in a pool of blood, unconscious.

"Prime Minister Gong, what are you doing here?" The Queen Mother was furious and questioned, and ordered someone to visit the queen, but learned that the queen's life was hanging by a thread.

"Still stunned for what to do, go and ask the doctor!"

Fengyi Palace began to get busy, the queen was carried to the top, and the palace prime minister knelt aside, his face was gloomy as ink, he was calculated again!

The queen was fine a moment ago, but she suddenly fell to the ground, bleeding from the seven orifices, he didn't even react, the queen mother came with someone, how could there be such a coincidence in this world, and he didn't believe that it was this kind of coincidence.

After a while, Emperor Mingwen also came: "How is the queen?" ”

"The queen is in danger, I'm afraid it won't be too good." The Queen Mother sighed: "The queen's body is not good, how can she withstand such a toss." ”

The mother and son chatted a few words, and the queen mother turned her eyes to look at the prime minister: "Tiger poison does not eat children, why is the prime minister so ruthless, he doesn't even let go of his own daughter!" ”

"Queen Mother, the minister was framed, how could the minister plot to kill the queen." Prime Minister Gong straightened his waist and said in a deep voice; "The minister implores the queen mother and the emperor to thoroughly investigate the truth and give the minister justice."

"If it weren't for you, how could the queen have been poisoned?" The Queen Mother asked.

Gong Cheng asked instead: "The queen is the daughter of the minister, how could the minister kill the queen so ruthlessly, and what good is this for the minister?" ”

The Queen Mother choked.

"Of course there are benefits!" Chu Yunning paced, arched his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is better for the Prime Minister to let the queen die of illness in order to continue the glory of the palace family for a hundred years, than to become a stain on the palace family after the abolition." ”

Prime Minister Gong's pupils shrank suddenly, her eyes stared at Chu Yunning, she actually guessed her own thoughts!

It's no wonder that many concubines in the harem can't fight her, she is indeed smart.

"Nonsense, the queen is not at fault, how can the emperor be deposed." The prime minister of the palace denied it, and pushed the responsibility to the other party: "But Chu Shanggong has bad intentions, instead of the queen's order, he did evil in the harem, and he has a grudge against the queen, so he will poison and murder, the emperor, this woman has a bad heart, and she must be severely punished." ”

The palace prime minister slapped a rake, pointing directly at Chu Yunning: "As long as this woman is taken to the Criminal Justice Department and extorted a confession by words and deeds, the truth will definitely be asked, and without further ado, please ask the emperor to give an order." ”

"Is it inappropriate for the prime minister to send me to the Criminal Division based on his own guesswork alone?" Chu Yunning said unhurriedly: "The queen has been in the palace for many years without children, according to the rules of the people, she should divorce her wife, it is the emperor who has tolerated it since he remembered the relationship between husband and wife, and the princess and relatives of the previous dynasty named the queen for the throne, and the prime minister was panicked, so he started in advance and let the queen die quietly." ”

"Huh! Smart! Prime Minister Gong sneered: "If it is according to what you say, why should I do it myself today, wouldn't it let everyone know that I poisoned and murdered the queen?" ”

"Today's prime minister is indeed not here to murder the queen, but hopes that the queen will kill herself, and then she will have a good reputation for understanding righteousness."

Chu Yunning said again: "Two hours ago, the minister and the prime minister met in front of the council hall, and smelled a complex aroma on the prime minister's body, which was extremely light, if it weren't for the minister's sensitive nose, ordinary people would not have found it." ”

Hearing this, Prime Minister Gong's heart sank, today's bureau is set up for him, he must have been put on something!

"Everyone knows that the queen has become ill from hard work and has been ill for a long time, but the queen's condition is more serious than you think, so the queen can't bear it and faints."

The Queen Mother suddenly said: "Chu Shanggong, do you mean that the prime minister of the palace is murdering the queen with poison, and the amount of medicine is very light, but it accidentally caused the queen's condition to worsen?" ”

"The Queen Mother is wise." Chu Yunning pointed to the palace prime minister's clothes: "This clothes are stained with the fragrance of Hanxiu grass, and it is not a big deal to smell it alone, but this aroma is in conflict with several medicines, and once it is contaminated, the internal organs will be dried up and die in the shortest possible time." ”

The fragrance of the palace prime minister's clothes was dyed in the council hall, and everyone in the council hall had already changed into new clothes, only the palace prime minister still had a residue on his body, Chu Yunning was sure that he didn't think much about it, and he would fall into the trap unconsciously.

Prime Minister Gong closed his eyes, and he didn't have to think about it to know that this fragrance must have been stained, and his words and deeds were guessed by Chu Yunning.

"Prime Minister Gong, you are so bold, you dare to murder the queen!" The Queen Mother was furious and said to Emperor Mingwen: "The prime minister has a bad mind, and the emperor will punish him severely!" ”

Emperor Mingwen, who had not spoken, glanced meaningfully at the palace prime minister.

"Your Majesty, the minister was wronged, the minister would never dare and would not murder the queen, the queen is the daughter raised by the minister, it's too late to feel distressed, how can she be harmed." Prime Minister Gong began to play the bitter card, his eyes were red, and he wiped the corners of his eyes from time to time.

Chu Yunning found that there was no sadness in his eyes, only annoyance and anger after being framed.

"Your Majesty, the prime minister may love the queen very much, but for the glory of the family, he has to do so, after all, the palace family does not need a queen who is abolished, whether the emperor is abolished or not, the prime minister would rather kill by mistake than gamble."

Prime Minister Gong knew the queen's previous state of mind at this moment, and he couldn't wait to cut Chu Yunning with a thousand knives to relieve his anger.

The words were heart-wrenching, and he couldn't refute them.

"Chu Shang Palace, you go to heal the queen first, I have my own measure in the affairs of the previous dynasty." Emperor Mingwen bent down to help the palace prime minister: "Prime minister, I have other things to discuss with you." ”

"Yes."

The queen is critically ill, and no one has mentioned it tacitly, and smart people know that no matter how much explanation there is, it is useless, the traps are full of pits, and the most brainless thing to do is to die and break the net, and no one should think about it.

Obviously, Prime Minister Gong did not intend to do this, but negotiated with Emperor Mingwen in time to reduce the losses and reach some kind of agreement between them.

Soon Emperor Mingwen took the palace prime minister to the side hall.

The Queen Mother took Chu Yunning's hand, lowered her voice and asked: "Thanks to you for solving the emperor's problem, Ning girl, the queen can't die but can't live, this position must be given up, and the palace family can't lose face." ”

The power of the palace prime minister is all over the world, and it will not be a good opportunity to eradicate it at all for a while and a half, so it can only be cleaned up slowly, and the emperor cannot tear his face with the palace prime minister.

The queen's matter just gave the palace prime minister a step down.

"The queen mother can rest assured, the minister knows what to do."

The next morning, the prime minister of the palace walked out of the queue to ask the emperor to depose the queen and give up the queen's position to the princess of Yunlan Kingdom.

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned, and they praised Prime Minister Gong's atmosphere and shared worries for the country, but they didn't know that Prime Minister Gong's heart was dripping blood.

Rather than being deposed, it is better to invite yourself to the court, and you have a good reputation, and Emperor Mingwen is also willing to fulfill the good reputation of the other party.

Emperor Mingwen was embarrassed, and after a few words, the palace prime minister gritted his teeth and knelt on the ground: "I ask the emperor to think about the people of the world, and the position of queen should be given up." ”

Under the repeated requests of the prime minister of the palace, Emperor Mingwen took advantage of the situation and demoted the queen to a concubine and moved to Bihe Palace.

The queen, that is, Concubine Shugui, woke up and learned about it, and angrily smashed all the decorations in the house.

"Concubine Shugui, the emperor asked you to vacate Fengyi Palace as soon as possible, the new palace has been packed up." Chu Yunning was overseer who came to move, and he was a little distressed when he saw the mess all over the place.

Concubine Shu looked at Chu Yunning's eyes mixed with hatred: "Chu Yunning, now you are satisfied, you calculate the account of this palace, and this palace will always remember it!" ”

Chu Yunning raised his eyebrows: "Concubine Shugui's body is still taken care of by me, if there is any mistake that causes her to be unconscious or half-paralyzed......"

"You dare!" Concubine Shu was so frightened that her face changed.

"I dare or not, Concubine Shu will know if you try it." Chu Yunning was not used to the other party's problems, and Concubine Shugui, who was stimulated by a few words, fainted again.

Concubine Shu is like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity to move to her, as long as she finds the right opportunity, she will definitely pounce and bite it, and she can't take it lightly, so Chu Yunning didn't plan to give her a chance to jump at all.
