After the emperor entered the imperial mausoleum, he also became the first emperor. And after all these things happened that day, the queen was rumored to have fallen ill, and it seemed that she had contracted a strange illness overnight, and she could not get up from her bed.

This made Liu Qingyan a little surprised, but it seemed to be in her expectation. However, with her concern for the queen, Liu Qingyan still deliberately went to the palace to see the queen once.

The people in the queen's palace were very familiar with Liu Qingyan, and they didn't stop her, so they let her in.

After entering, Liu Qingyan saw the queen on the bed. Her face was indeed much paler than the previous days, and her whole person seemed to be many years older. Seeing Liu Qingyan, the queen seemed to be quite happy, and wanted to get up and get out of bed immediately, but she had no strength.

Liu Qingyan hurriedly stepped forward and pressed the queen's shoulder: "Queen Mother, don't get out of bed in a hurry." I've heard people say that you have to take care of your bones. ”

"It doesn't matter," the queen pulled away a wry smile, "Anyway, the emperor is gone, and there is no one with him, if the palace can go, it will be considered to be a wish." ”

"Where is the queen, isn't there still so many concubines on the emperor's side?" Liu Qingyan said with a smile.

The queen shook her head: "What are those concubines?" The emperor can't look down on any of them, and there are too many people, if the palace is not there, I don't know what kind of trouble they are going to make. ”

Liu Qingyan sighed and did not speak.

The queen said: "However, the palace is really reluctant to give up the prince, he is still so young, and he doesn't understand many things." If Hongu leaves, I don't know who else can accompany him. ”

Liu Qingyan lowered her eyes: "Queen Mother, please rest assured, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has grown up a lot, and these things will not be difficult for him for the time being." After presiding over the government at such a time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must have been very handy. ”

As if she didn't listen to what Liu Qingyan said at all, the queen grabbed her palm, looked at her tightly, and said: "Princess Qi, looking at the entire capital, the entire Great Wei, except for you, there is no one who can help the palace." It's just you, it's just you! ”

Liu Qingyan barely maintained the smile on her face: "Queen Mother, if you have anything to say, just say it well, say it slowly, don't be in such a hurry, if there is anything you want me to do, I will naturally do it." At this point, the queen must rest assured. ”

The queen sighed and slowly let go of her.

Liu Qingyan continued to ask: "Queen Mother, do you want to tell me about helping His Royal Highness the Crown Prince this time?" ”

"That's right," the queen didn't deny it, and as soon as she talked about these major events in the court and important things about her son, she changed her clothes and had a very serious expression, "Now although the news of the death of the former emperor has been made public, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also the best candidate to inherit the throne, but the palace is still a little worried in her heart......"

Even if she knows it, Liu Qingyan knows very well that now is not the time to show that she is smart. On the contrary, at this time, what she should do is to play stupid. So, Liu Qingyan just sat in front of the bed, looked at her, and asked patiently: "Queen Mother, what are you worried about?" ”

The queen looked at her and said, "What the palace is worried about is that there will be people in the court who will disobey His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

"Ah," Liu Qingyan seemed to be taken aback, and looked at the queen strangely, "Disobey His Royal Highness the Prince?" How is this possible? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not under the emperor. How could anyone disobey His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? ”

Hearing her say this, the queen was in a good mood.

But she still shook her head very lightly, and said, "This is really Princess Qi, you have won the award, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... It's really not as good as you say. If you don't consider these messy other factors, I'm afraid that the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu will prefer the King of Qi to inherit the throne. ”

Hearing this, Liu Qingyan's heart was shocked, but her panicked emotions did not show.

The queen looked at her tightly and said, "Princess Qi, King Qi is indeed talented, and this palace also knows that you and King Qi are both supporting this palace and His Royal Highness the Prince." Therefore, if you can, can you help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince again? ”

Liu Qingyan did not speak immediately.

At this time, if she thought that the queen was really pitiful and immediately nodded and agreed, then when the East Window incident happened in the future, she couldn't do it, then she was a person who broke her promise. This is very dangerous not only for herself, but also for the entire Qi Palace.

Especially she didn't know what kind of support the queen was referring to when she supported the crown prince. What would the queen do if she was told to do those strange things? Can she refuse?

Therefore, Liu Qingyan just lowered her eyes and said lightly: "Queen Mother, this ...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has so many ministers and so many talented people around him, where do you still need a weak woman like me? ”

"Nature needs you! Those champions only talk about paper work, what do you really want to do, where can you compare to you? The queen frowned and snorted coldly.

"The queen mother's words are too ......" is too exaggerated.

For these praises of the queen, Liu Qingyan really didn't know what to say.

Seeing her like this, the queen immediately put on a pleading look again: "Princess Qi, this palace ...... There's really not much time left.,If you can.,Please agree to this palace! ”

Liu Qingyan frowned, and said in a non-trivial manner: "The queen mother is longevity and Tianqi, how can you say so quickly that there is not much time left?" The queen's body, well-nourished, will definitely be able to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince give birth to children and live together with the Great Wei Dynasty for a long time. ”

The queen shook her head with a sad expression: "I can't wait, this palace ...... Can't wait. ”

Liu Qingyan saw a rare despair in her expression, and was slightly stunned: "What does the queen mean?" ”

"Bengong has already been sick, but it's just a strong support." The queen gave her a pale look.

"How so? When did you get the disease? Liu Qingyan was stunned and very surprised. She never seemed to have seen that the queen was sick.

"From the time when Du Guifei confused the emperor, this palace has been poisoned," the queen said bitterly, "It was an extremely vicious Gu poison, at the beginning, even the oldest imperial doctor in the palace did not notice it, and the palace itself did not feel anything." Later, Bengong felt unwell, but he just thought that Bengong was busy and his body was weak. called the imperial doctor to come and see, and then I realized that he was poisoned. ”

The queen frowned tightly and said, "Knowing that the palace is poisoned, the prince is also extremely concerned, and has been calling the imperial doctor to treat the body of the palace." The imperial doctor had also done his best, and finally told the palace that the poison had been cleared, but what he never expected was ......"

I never thought that it would not be so simple to unravel this flavor poison.

The imperial doctors thought that they had solved the poison, but in fact, the imperial doctors only helped the queen through the initial stage of this poison, and after passing this stage, there would be a not too long transit period.

During the transit period, the human body seems to have regained its health.

But once this period has passed, the subsequent toxicity will recur, and the body of the person who is poisoned will only get worse and worse, and it will become more and more difficult to treat.

And the queen has already heard sad and angry news from the mouth of the imperial doctor: this poison is incurable.

After listening to the queen's narration, Liu Qingyan also frowned together: "Who will ...... such a vicious medicine?"

"Princess Qi, in fact, you already know who poisoned you, right?" The queen looked at Liu Qingyan, and there was still a bitter smile on her face.

Liu Qingyan was stunned and muttered, "Yes...... Khitans? ”

The queen nodded lightly: "Yes." At the beginning, Du Guifei confused the emperor with the help of Song Jingchen, and the palace had no choice but to find the Khitan people for help. However, they also made a request that the palace take their people back to the palace, arrange for those people to enter the major corners of the palace, and ask the palace to take a cup of tea. At that time, the palace knew that that cup of tea was definitely not simple. ”

"The queen mother......" Liu Qingyan looked at the queen in front of her.

"It doesn't matter," the queen smiled, "Those fine works in the palace, the palace has been cleared a lot, and the maids beside Nangong Hui that day have been unable to solve it in the palace, thanks to Princess Qi." ”

Liu Qingyan frowned: "Queen Mother, I care more about your body." ”

The queen smiled: "There is nothing to worry about in the body of this palace, this palace should be dead at this age, it is good to die, go and accompany the emperor." The two of us, when we were alive and in the yang world, didn't get along very well. This palace hopes that when they meet in the underworld, they can talk to each other from the bottom of their hearts. ”

Before dying, people will always spit out their true emotions in their hearts. Now Liu Qingyan feels that the queen in front of her is more cordial and real than in the past, and it is also very sympathetic.

The queen sighed for a while, and looked at Liu Qingyan again: "Now the only one in this palace who can't let go is His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Liu Qingyan frowned, hesitated for a while, and in the end, she didn't know if it was her sympathy or because she was too excited for a while, so she took the initiative to grab the queen's hand: "The queen mother, please rest assured!" I...... I will definitely help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince well, and I will definitely help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince together with King Qi to defend the Great Wei River! ”

The queen smiled and nodded, "That's very good." So much better. ”
