90 The emperor lost his mind
The paper crane hung on the eunuch's body, so light that he could hardly feel the weight, the eunuch didn't notice that it was wrong, and he didn't find that when he put the plate on the table, the paper crane rolled off him, and after the eunuch left, it rubbed on the plate and didn't move, it looked like an ornament on the plate, Qiu Xiaobei folded it very vividly.
The emperor really didn't suspect it, and after the chief eunuch beside him tested the poison and let people test it, the emperor, who was so tired that he took a break after watching the music, picked up a piece of pastry and ate it.
The taste of the imperial dining room is good, he finished eating a piece and reached out for a while to get a piece, during which the paper crane spat out slightly, and silently spit the powder on the piece of pastry that the emperor was about to touch, and then the piece of cake was taken away by the emperor, thinking that he had tested the poison and was fine, he ate it without realizing it.
The paper crane retreated, and when the emperor reached out again, he deliberately bumped into his sleeve like porcelain, pretending to be swept aside by it, the emperor only faintly felt, and didn't care too much, the paper crane rolled to the ground lightly, and slipped away while people were not paying attention.
Qiu Xiaobei opened her eyes, looked at the paper crane that had returned to her, picked it up, and touched its head like a living thing: "Thank you for your hard work." ”
Then he got up and hurried away.
Who knows, halfway through, I actually saw Wei Qing.
"What's the matter, isn't she confined? How can it still come out? ”
Xiao Jia quickly found out the news: "It was the Queen Mother who summoned her and said that she had made a big mistake and asked her to go to the Buddha hall to recite the Buddha and ask the Buddha to forgive her." ”
Qiu Xiaobei snorted: "It's just an excuse." ”
The queen mother doesn't see that she is not involved in politics, so she occasionally her grandson's heart, manages the harem, and although she doesn't like the prince very much, she doesn't target it too much, at most she lets the prince fend for himself, and even, she is a little incompetent.
However, the harem woman, who can sit in the position of the queen mother, is she a simple character? I heard Xiaojia and others say that when the emperor was alive, he didn't like the queen mother, and he didn't want the current emperor to be the heir, but later, the mother and son still became winners, and there must be a lot of credit for the queen mother.
She must have noticed that Fan Shenxi was a little surprised that Wei Qing was too angry about what Wei Qing had done, so she wanted to summon Wei Qing to ask for an understanding.
Qiu Xiaobei thought about it, but still chose to follow and came to Fengning Palace together.
can be the queen mother, the luck on her body is relatively strong, Qiu Xiaobei gave Xiao A and Xiao B the talisman paper to replenish their vitality, and then let them go in to investigate one or two.
"Imperial Grandmother!"
Wei Qing was wearing a veil, and as soon as she saw the Queen Mother, she immediately knelt at her feet and began to cry: "Imperial grandmother, save your lover!" ”
Aside from the fact that she is now the granddaughter-in-law of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is already her cousin.
The Queen Mother turned sideways with hatred, and the Buddha beads in her hand turned quickly: "You said you, what do you think, you are already the crown princess, no matter how stupid a woman is, she will not go to her husband's treasury as soon as she gets married, you slowly grasp the position of your East Palace housewife, and the treasury is not how you want to enter?" ”
"Imperial grandmother, the love child has already told you, that's because ......"
"No matter what the reason," the Queen Mother deliberately interrupted her unspoken words, "you shouldn't be so impulsive about big things." ”
Qing'er shed tears: "Yes, Qing'er knows her mistake and will never do it again." ”
The Queen Mother's luck: "This matter has already been said, let's not mention it for the time being, but how can you ...... Why are you so ...... to let a group of eunuchs undress in your dormitory?"
"Imperial grandmother, the lover is wronged," Speaking of this, the lover excitedly grabbed the queen mother's robe and moved closer to the queen mother, "The imperial grandmother, the love is to find a woman." ”
"What?"
"A woman, a pregnant woman, the queen mother, the prince has an heir!"
If she wasn't 100% sure before, after Fan Shenxi lashed out at her, she was already very sure.
The Queen Mother was shocked: "What did you say?" It's true? ”
Wei Qing nodded firmly: "But she was hidden by the prince, Qing'er just wanted to find her, and the palace maids searched all over it, so Qing'er wondered if she would disguise herself as a eunuch, and this was ......."
"It's a good thing to have an heir," the Queen Mother even stopped fiddling with the Buddha beads, and said calmly after a while, "Why did Xi'er hide her." ”
Wei Qing glanced at the Queen Mother, and under the Queen Mother's gaze, she shrank and said, "Yes, it's because of Qing'er, he may not believe in Qing'er, so he doesn't want to tell Qing'er that other women are pregnant." ”
"I told you, as the crown princess, you may be the queen in the future, you must be magnanimous, virtuous and virtuous, you are like this now, it is all your own sin." The Queen Mother nodded her head, "But the mourning family doesn't understand, why do you want to let the eunuch take off his clothes to check, there are many ways, why did you choose the stupidest method?" Besides, if you really want to do this, you send someone you trust to get it somewhere else, why bother in your own dormitory? Over the years, your father has taught you in vain. ”
"I ...... I ......"
was reminded by the queen mother, she also felt how she was so stupid at the time, like being led step by step to the current situation, but she proposed to investigate the eunuch and let her call the eunuch to the dormitory, as soon as she took off her shirt, she could see the difference, fast and simple, and said that it was in her dormitory, who could know, and what kind of man the eunuch was, what mattered, it was important to find a pregnant woman as soon as possible.
Because she trusts Xiao Tao, and since she was a child, she has relied on her status and status, and anything she does can be smoothed out, which makes her too big, and now that she thinks about it, she can't help but think that there is really such a coincidence?
Did Xiao Tao really think that, or did someone instigate her behind her back?
But Xiao Tao is dead, even if someone really told her anything, there is no way to know, she still knows her personal maid, how can she let others share it, how can she tell herself that the idea was made by someone else.
She probably didn't expect that these ideas would kill her, but she didn't even reveal a suspicion.
Wei Qing couldn't help but wonder if it was Xiao Tao instigated by Fan Shenxi, so he wanted to sew Xiao Tao's mouth in the end!?
"Imperial grandmother," Wei Qing can only rely on the Queen Mother now, crying pitifully, "Qing'er knows it's wrong, I really know it's wrong, Imperial Grandmother, you save Qing'er, it's all for the good of His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
"Alas," the Queen Mother patted Wei Qing's head with the hand of the Buddha beads, "The mourning family can't help it, after all, this matter is your fault, the mourning family can't protect you, from today on, you will kneel in the Buddhist hall, copy the Buddhist scriptures, recite the heart sutra, when the Buddha forgives you, when will you go out." ”
When Wei Qing heard this, she knew that the Queen Mother was going to protect her, she was overjoyed and kowtowed to the Queen Mother: "Thank you for the Queen Mother's kindness, Qing'er must sincerely admit her mistake to the Buddha." ”
She looked up cautiously: "But, the pregnant woman ......"
"If someone is really pregnant with a royal heir, then it must be taken seriously, the royal blood should not be confused, and it is not allowed to be left out for no reason, Xi'er is really willful, and the mourning family will talk to him."
In other words, the child must be handed over.
Wei Qing was relieved.
"Little Woo."
"The minions are here."
"Go and invite the emperor, the mourning family has something to tell the emperor."
"Yes, Queen Mother."
Qiu Xiaobei, who was outside Fengning Palace, listened to what Xiao A and Xiao Yi said, and his brows furrowed: "The Queen Mother really knows." "Then they will definitely force Fan Shenxi to hand over her, the woman who is pregnant with the dragon heir.
"That's right," Xiao Jia said, "let's go quickly, the queen mother has called the emperor over." ”
Qiu Xiaobei's eyes widened: "The emperor is coming?" ”
"The queen mother has sent that little Xizi to invite, if the emperor doesn't have anything else very important, he should come over, right?"
Qiu Xiaobei was stunned at first, then the corners of his mouth slowly raised, and finally smiled brightly: "It's also, too coincidental, hehehe." ”
Xiao Jia shrank back timidly: "You can't laugh like that, it's weird and scary." ”
Qiu Xiaobei smiled and wanted to pat it on the shoulder, but Xiao Jia floated out of the distance: "You are getting heavier and heavier now, don't you have any points yourself, don't touch us." ”
"Oh, I know, I know, okay, let's go back."
She got up and patted the grass clippings on her buttocks, watched the guards outside, and prepared to slip away.
"That's it, aren't you worried that your pregnancy will be known to the Queen Mother?"
"This is the question that a man should think about, I'm a pregnant woman, just eat and drink well, what's the matter."
"Aren't you still worried?"
Qiu Xiaobei smiled at them, put away his smile in the next second, and made a gesture to touch them: "Don't show me the way, I'll wait to go back." ”
Waiting for Xiao A and Xiao Yi to go to the front to investigate the situation with a scolding scolding, Qiu Xiaobei couldn't help laughing again, she was worried that Fan Shenxi would be forced to ask, but at the same time, she believed him, the reason why she was unhappy was that she was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable, but when she knew that the emperor and others were about to suffer, she balanced, and she wanted to sing Little Star again.
……
The emperor felt that his brain was a little swollen, and the father-in-law in charge told him to rest more, saying that he must be tired from watching too much.
"yes, it's all mess, my eyes hurt when I see it." The emperor threw aside the fold he was still holding in his hand and pressed his temple, and the chief steward's father-in-law saw it and said worriedly: "Why don't you ask the imperial doctor to take a look?" ”
"No, it's fine." As soon as the emperor finished speaking, he informed the eunuch that Xiaoxizi's father-in-law was here, saying that the queen mother was invited and had something to discuss with the emperor.
The emperor will go to the Queen Mother every day to say goodbye, usually if there is something, the Queen Mother will send someone to say it directly, or wait for the next day to say goodbye, this will specially invite him over, there should be something important.
It just so happened that the emperor was tired of watching these twists and turns, and his brain was dizzy, so he went for a walk, so he set up Fengning Palace.
But when the wind blew on the road, he seemed to be even more uncomfortable, saying that it hurt and it didn't look like pain, it was swollen, his eyelids jumped and jumped, and people became depressed, he pulled his neckline, what happened to the palace maid who changed his clothes today, why is this collar so tight.
He twisted his neck, his fingers kept moving, and he looked very agitated.
"Your Majesty, Fengning Palace has arrived." The father-in-law in charge smiled and asked the emperor to go up and down the dragon chariot, but the emperor did not move, he probed in, and shouted, who knew that the emperor suddenly lost his temper and kicked him away.
The father-in-law in charge was helped up by the little eunuch, and he was a little puzzled about what had happened, which made the emperor suddenly angry so much.
But the slave can't hold the master accountable, let alone the emperor, the chief steward and father-in-law cleaned up and followed.
When he saw the Queen Mother, the emperor tried his best to suppress the mania in his heart, sat down next to the Queen Mother, and glanced at Wei Qing, who was kneeling next to him and crying and asking him for peace: "Queen Mother, is there anything wrong with calling me over?" ”
"Your Majesty, the mourning family heard about something and felt that they should discuss it with you." The Queen Mother gave Wei Qing a look, "Let Qing'er tell you." ”
"Father, father," Wei Qing cried before she said it, she thought that she was pitiful, it was best to let the emperor sympathize with her a little more, the emperor was her cousin, she was usually coquettish, and the emperor was very tolerant of her, and after she became his daughter-in-law, she loved her even more, in order to prevent him from holding himself accountable, she cried first, "It's not good for your lover, and you're ashamed of your trust in your lover." ”
In normal times, when the emperor sees her pear blossoms and rain, he may pity her a little bit, and she originally married her to the prince for a purpose, and she has to rely on her to be the first hand by the prince's side...... So I'm quite lenient with her.
But at this time, as soon as he saw her crying, the irritability that he had just barely suppressed erupted, and as soon as the palace maid brought the tea, he grabbed it and smashed it towards Wei Qing.
"Ahh
Wei Qing covered her head and screamed, she was scared and hurt, the teacup was not light, and it smashed over without warning, and she still hadn't reacted.
But her shrill scream made the emperor go crazy, his head was buzzing, everything he could see clearly seemed to be unclear, his head was very heavy and heavy, so that he couldn't control himself at all, and wanted to strangle this woman who made noise, and if he was strangled, it would be silent, and he wouldn't be noisy.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing, let her go, Your Majesty!"
The Queen Mother got up from her seat in a panic, and saw that the emperor suddenly rushed to Wei Qing without an image regardless of his identity, and after kicking her to the ground, he actually pressed her, grabbed her neck, and pinched her to death!
Seeing that she didn't mean to stop no matter how she shouted the emperor, the queen mother hurriedly shouted to the people next to her: "What are you still standing for, quickly pull the emperor away, hurry!" ”
The palace maids and eunuchs hurriedly stepped forward, but they didn't dare to really pull the emperor, some didn't even dare to touch it, seeing that Wei Qing rolled her eyes, the queen mother was so anxious that she stepped forward and grabbed the emperor's hand: "Let go of her, let go of her, the mourning family let you let go of your hand, do you hear?" ”
The emperor's hand was indeed pulled away by her, but the emperor's arm waved, and the queen mother was swept back two steps back by the force and was supported by the palace maid. ”
The emperor smiled hideously, walked towards her step by step, watching the Queen Mother retreat in fright, his eyes were even redder, he stared at the Queen Mother's mouth, watching her mouth close one by one, just like in childhood, she pointed at him and scolded him, scolded him for being useless, scolded him for being waste, and scolded him for not being able to win the heart of his father.
"What to swear!" He rushed over, grabbed the queen mother's arm, and dragged her over, "Do you still want to scold me, do you still want to scold me, I let you scold, I let you scold!" ”
"Bang-" sound, he slapped the Queen Mother, and he still grabbed the Queen Mother's hand, the Queen Mother was just slapped back, and was immediately dragged by the emperor, and then slapped down.
The palace maid screamed, "The Queen Mother, Your Majesty", but these cries only made the emperor more manic, dragging the Queen Mother to beat again and again completely out of control.
The queen mother could still scream in pain at first, but in the end she couldn't make a sound, at first she was angry at the emperor's behavior, and then she was afraid of being beaten, she just wanted to be able to dodge, to stop being beaten, she could kneel down and beg the emperor, but the emperor dragged her to death, and she couldn't even beg for mercy.
In the end, it was the father-in-law in charge who shouted, and Yi Liyun, the imperial guard guarding outside, Yi Liyun braved the most disrespectful to knock the emperor unconscious, and the storm was temporarily over.
This will, the phoenix crown on the queen mother's head hangs crookedly on the ground, the hairpin falls off, and the one that doesn't fall off can't fall off, the messy hair is stuck to the face several times, the clothes are crooked, and the sleeve of one arm is scratched.
She no longer has the majesty of the queen mother, her eyes are scattered and she looks afraid, when the palace maid wants to help her, she shouts to avoid it, she doesn't dare to let people touch it, and she seems to be a crazy woman, as for Wei Qing, she was stunned from the beginning, with the emperor's madness at that time, she can still breathe a fortune teller, the veil on her face has long since fallen off, the red marks on her face have not subsided, and her neck has a new injury, and she is red and swollen after not seeing it for a while, and her neck is bigger, which is more serious than that on her face.
The father-in-law in charge shouted anxiously: "Why don't you take the queen mother to rest quickly...... Go and call the imperial doctor, why are you still standing stupidly, go quickly, do you want to die......"
At the time of the accident, Qiu Xiaobei was being punished by Fan Shenxi for copying books.
Yes, she was caught by him again when she ran away, and I don't know if it was because she trusted him too much and didn't pay too much attention to the details when she slipped away, or if he was extremely sensitive to her affairs, and he could find out as soon as she slipped away.
"Can you write less, people's hands hurt." Qiu Xiaobei pulled her lower lip out and made a pitiful grimace, wanting her man to be gentle on her.
Fan Shenxi didn't even look at him, and wrote on his bookcase: "Not a word is missing." ”
Qiu Xiaobei snorted unwillingly, how could she be like her father, she loves to punish people for writing big characters.
"By the way, Your Highness, Wei Xiaosan, why did you let her go to see the Queen Mother?" Now that they are all known to be out of the East Palace, there is nothing to hide when they meet Wei Qing to see the Queen Mother.
"The Queen Mother wants to see her, or in the name of reprimanding her well, how can I stop her."
"Aren't you afraid of what she tells the Queen Mother?"
"If she wants to say it, let her say, what evidence can she have, some medicine residue?" Fan Shen was unfazed, focusing on the annotations he wrote.
Qiu Xiaobei shrugged, turning his shoulders a little sore by the way, at this time, Xiao Shunzi came in: "Your Highness, something happened to Fengning Palace." ”
"What?"
"It is said that the emperor suddenly lost his mind, stunned the crown princess, and beat the queen mother."
Fan Shenxi's pen tip was stunned, the word was fainted by the ink, and he calmly put the pen down: "Father, are you crazy?" ”
"For the time being, I can't be sure if he is crazy, but he did beat the Queen Mother violently for no reason, this ......"
Fan Shenxi looked at Qiu Xiaobei for the first time, and saw Qiu Xiaobei bowing his head weakly, and had a guess in his heart, he asked Xiaoshunzi: "What is the situation in Fengning Palace now?" ”
"Fengning Palace has become a mess, because the incident happened suddenly, and it was the emperor and the queen mother who had the accident, and it was too late to stop the spread of the news, which will, it is estimated that many people will know."
The prince nodded: "Okay, change clothes for the main palace, and the main palace will go over and take a look." ”
He was about to turn his wheelchair, when he suddenly paused and added: "Since the news has come out, you can spread another piece of news, just say that the emperor was actually poisoned, so he went crazy, not the queen mother who was beaten by the emperor, it was the emperor who accidentally injured the queen mother, and it must spread faster than the previous news." ”
Hearing this, Qiu Xiaobei looked up at Fan Shenxi, although she wondered why he did this, she did not doubt him, seeing that Fan Shenxi had already turned into a wheelchair and entered the bedroom, she hurriedly put down her pen and followed behind.
"Your Highness," Qiu Xiaobei took the belt from Jing Ning's hand and tied it to Fan Shenxi himself, "Do you really want to go over?" ”
"Well," Fan Shenxi responded lightly, "There is such a big event, since it has been spread all over the palace, as the crown prince, how can I not go." ”
"Oh." She was distracted by his tone, and concentrated on fastening his belt and hanging jade pendants and other things, "That, that, can I go with you?" ”
He raised his head, looked into her baba eyes, and suddenly smiled: "Want to follow?" ”
She nodded quickly.
His smile snapped: "You are still here, think about it, and when Bengong comes back, how do you explain it." ”
"I ......" squeezed out a word, Qiu Xiaobei, who didn't know what to say, pouted, and looked at Fan Shenxi, who had changed his clothes, and took Xiao Dezi away.
But she was not idle, as soon as Fan Shenxi left, the pitiful look on her face was closed, the corners of her mouth were secretly raised, her eyes narrowed slyly, and she looked like a little clever.
She secretly ran to the artificial grove behind the dormitory and saw Xiao Jia: "How is it, is the essence of Fengning Palace exciting?" ”
"Wonderful, not to mention wonderful, I sneaked in later and took a look outside, hey, the Queen Mother's face was swollen like a pig's head." Xiao Yi laughed, while clenching his fists and pounding in the void, "You don't know, I met the current Queen Mother when I was alive, when she was just a concubine, watching the Buddha who eats fasting and recites Buddha, and takes people out when she is not happy behind her back, I followed my master to deal with the flowers and plants in the imperial garden, and I accidentally saw her picking flowers indiscriminately, and throwing them on the ground to step on it, I pretended not to see it, and she also asked people to arrest me and beat me, hum." ”
Qiu Xiaobei smiled: "Xiaoyi's resentment is so deep? ”
