Chapter 36 The crown prince plotted against the throne
The crown prince recalled a conversation he had with the current queen a few days ago.
"This palace is the queen, what can he do with me?" The queen, who was lying on the soft collapse, said absently while playing with the gold-inlaid armor in her hand.
"But if he knows that it was the queen mother who framed Concubine Ji together with your son's mother and concubine, can you still keep yourself safe and sound?" In the queen's palace, the crown prince sat on a wooden chair and spoke quietly. The prince knows that this is the weakness of today's queen, when she betrayed her good sister Concubine Ji, that is, Gu Jue's mother, for a posterior, probably because of retribution, these years, she didn't have a son and a half daughter.
"You dare to threaten Hongu? You don't fool Hongu with these words. The queen instantly put away her disapproving expression and became serious. The crown prince's temperament is known, and she single-handedly designed the Nine Emperor Princes Gu Pu to let him stay in the Zongren Mansion for seven years, not to mention that they are still brothers of the same father.
"Mother concubine, you know, Erchen is the orthodox prince of this Liyin Kingdom." The prince's words still have weight, and the queen fell into deep thought after hearing it, Do you want to choose to be wrong again and again?
"Erchen also knows that the queen mother has misdisciplined the palace maids in her palace, and she is a little indulgent to them." The queen was shocked again, she only found out yesterday that one of her personal palace maids was having an affair with a guard, and today he found out.
"You just need to put this in the tea."
"He's your father, how can you bear it." The queen's trembling hand did not take the white medicine bag, but looked at the prince with firm eyes, asking her to hurt the emperor, she would never be able to do it, even if she was allowed to die.
"How can Erchen be so bold, it's a rebellion, it's just to make my father uncomfortable for a few days."
After listening to the prince's words, the queen took the medicine bag.
The prince became even more uneasy, so he ordered the singers and musicians of the palace to play music in the dormitory, so that the tense nerves could be relieved.
It's already the fourth watch, and there are no idlers on the streets, only the watchmen and the brocade guards galloping on horseback. The entire imperial city is shrouded in misty moonlight, everything is so tranquil, it is already the early morning of the Dragon Boat Festival, and the moon is almost in a circle. Jin Yiwei secretly arrived at the palace of the crown prince and Gu Jue and several other emperors and several important ministers, and there was a secret edict and was urgently summoned into the palace.
Gu Jue saw that the lanterns in the palace for the festival had been removed, and he knew that things were not good. When I arrived at the door of the "Taiji Palace", I saw General Meng Li and Minister Weng Xiangnian.
"Announce the princes to enter the palace." Xiao Wuzi's expression was solemn and his voice was shrill, and it was transmitted that the prince entered the hall, and Xiao Wuzi's voice echoed outside the entire hall, startling the crickets outside the palace, and for a while there was a "cooing" sound, which made the chaotic hall even more nervous.
"Father, what's wrong with you, it was fine yesterday." The youngest tenth prince, Gu Fuyi, couldn't hold back his tears when he entered the hall, after all, he was only a teenager.
And the prince and Gu Jue's mentality is quite better, the ninja's worries are kneeling in the hall, and there is a curtain vaguely covering the emperor's face, but he still sees the emperor's very pale face and dying appearance.
"Xiao Wuzi, why does my father look like this, he was fine yesterday."
"Back to the prince, Your Majesty has been poisoned by a strange poison, and the people in the Tai Hospital are still developing prescriptions, but Your Majesty's current situation can't wait."
Only then did people know that the emperor on the collapse could no longer speak, and could only use his finger pen to paint, and his lower body was already stiff. is like Xiao Wuzi passed on the ministers outside the palace, came in to announce the decree, the emperor wanted to watch the crown prince ascend the throne with a sigh of relief, his son was still clear, and he was afraid that the country would be shaken.
"Father, let's take a look at this palace maid before you make the decree." After the minister entered the palace, Gu Jue interrupted Xiao Wuzi's intention to announce the decree. The ministers looked at each other, not knowing what this prince was going to do, this was a critical moment.
"Carry that palace maid up, and pass that eunuch into the palace." The prince began to panic when he heard this, could it be the palace maid?
"Tell my father, this is the palace maid who is going to be poisoned, although she can't open her mouth anymore, but fortunately, there is still this eunuch who will tell the truth."
"The slave sees Your Majesty, the prince, the prince, this is the blood letter left by Qing Ying on her deathbed, telling the woman to flee for her life." As he spoke, he took out the handkerchief left by Qing Ying from his arms, and the blood book on it had been confirmed by the palace maid in the palace that it was Qing Ying's handwriting.
The courtiers began to talk about it.
"This palace maid is from the queen's palace, and she poisoned the tea because she was instructed by someone, and she has to ask the queen who instructed her."
The emperor moved his fingers again, and Xiao Wuzi understood the will. "Pass the queen into the palace."
