?

Since the fall of Qiheng on the Midyear Festival. He had been unconscious for three days, and on the fourth day he had a slight sensation, but he still could not wake up, and it was not until the seventh day that he opened his eyes, but he could not speak or move.

The doctors were helpless, and no one even knew why he was the way he was.

Until that dreary dusk, the sky was scattered with dense dark clouds, which were oppressive and suffocating. Even if the fan is blowing fast, the wind is still blowing, all of which indicates that a heavy rainstorm is coming.

A large block of ice was placed in the Nanxun hall, the wind wheel was slowly turning, and I was leaning on the bamboo couch with my forehead propped up—I only knew what it was to be anxious for a few days.

'Chun' walked in steps and whispered in my ear: "King Langya asked to see him, and he also brought a 'squire' guard, it seems that there is something urgent." ”

I frowned, and said motionlessly, "Ask him what's the matter, and if it doesn't matter, please don't come over." ”

The 'spring' was gone and returned, and his face was more solemn, and he said: "Niangniang, King Langya said that he knew why the emperor suddenly fell ill. ”

I sat up straight and asked, "Really?" and immediately said, "Send them in!"

I had never seen such a solemn compassion, and he strode in, followed by the 'squire' with a tense face. After saluting me, I hurriedly asked, "Do you say that you know why the emperor suddenly fell ill?"

Qi Min said: "Yes, Niangniang, but this matter is very important, please Niangniang retreat." ”

I nodded at the 'spring equinox', which quickly brought everyone in the hall down, leaving only the three of us. I looked at Qi Min and then at the 'squire' behind him. Qi Min said to the man: "You know everything, tell the queen mother!"

"Yes!" the man knelt down on one knee at me, hugged his fists and said, "Queen Mother, Xu Jin, the right guard of Weichen East Palace, has something important to say." ”

I lifted my chin: "You say." ”

Xu Jin said: "Just before the Midyear Festival, there were suddenly a lot of monks in the East Palace, and Weichen didn't pay attention to it at that time, just thinking that it was to pray for the Midyear Festival. However, on the night of the Midyear Festival, Weichen was on an errand, and he inadvertently bumped into those monks doing suspicious things!" At this point, he stopped and looked at me, as if he didn't dare to say anything more.

"What's the matter? Say it quickly!" I faintly felt that something was wrong, he clearly said that there was something about Qi Heng's condition, how did he get to the East Palace, and what kind of monk did he say......

Xu Jin was instructed, so he continued: "Yes, Wei Chen thought it was strange at the time, so he stayed and observed, and found that they were holding puppets in their hands, and there seemed to be characters written on them. ”

My fingertips trembled, I stood up and said, "What you said, could it be...... It's a witch!"

Xu Jin pursed his lips and lowered his head silently.

I said angrily: "What a big burden, you dare to slander the East Palace!"

Xu Jinqian raised his head, stared at me with bright eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Queen Mother, Weichen is the right guard of the East Palace, the prince is not thin on Weichen, why does Weichen slander the East Palace! Weichen just wants to tell the truth, maybe he can save the emperor's life!"

I looked at Qi Min and saw that he was also looking at me, bowing his head slightly. I was suddenly struck by lightning and came to my senses—whether this was true or not, this was an opportunity to bring down the crown prince, and if I could really find those things from the East Palace, the East Palace would not be able to get rid of this charge anyway!

A smile was raised on my lips, and I said slowly, "Can you really be sure that Donggong is practicing witchcraft, and you have also seen those filth buried with your own eyes?"

"Yes, what Wei Chen saw with his own eyes, they buried those filth under a big locust tree behind the Yi 'Chun' Palace! There is no lie! If Niang Niang is willing to believe that Wei Chen will go to investigate, Wei Chen is willing to find out those evidence for Niang Niang! Correct the East Palace!"

I groaned for a moment and said, "You go out and wait first, and this palace has to think about it." ”

Wechen retired. ”

When he went out, I asked Qi Min directly: "Did you arrange it?"

He smiled and said, "Don't care who arranged it at this time, just seize this opportunity." ”

"So, if I go now, will I really be able to grasp the handle of the East Palace?"

"As long as you want to go. ”

I walked up to him and said, "Qi Min, I don't want to go into the water alone, those available ministers, please ask the prince to help the palace come over!"

He put his arms around my waist, sniffed my neck, and whispered, "Willing to serve." ”

I pushed him away and asked with a smile, "The person outside was also arranged by you?"

Qi Min smiled: "I didn't find him, but he is indeed the right guard of the East Palace, and he is indeed on an errand on the day of the Midyear Festival, and he is indeed ...... I've seen those monks!"

I was silent for a long time, put away my smile, and stared at Qi Min for a long time before I said, "Qi Min, you really make me feel scared sometimes. ”

"Really?" he asked, glancing at Qi Heng's dormitory out of the corner of his eye, and said in a deep voice, "Xu Jin is not my person, and naturally he will not be from the East Palace, so guess whose person is he?"

I also looked in the direction of Qiheng's dormitory, and said secretly: "Royal ruthless!"

The two of us were speechless for a while, sighed, called 'Chunfen' in, and said: "This matter involves the East Palace, this palace is not good at specialization, pass on my decree, please Langya Wang Xuan several old ministers to come here to negotiate." King Langya, I'm sorry for you. Qi Min bowed to me, and I turned around and went to Qi Heng's side.

He was still lying, closing his eyes, not knowing whether he was asleep or pretending to sleep.

Jiang Shouquan had been by his side, and I glanced at Jiang Shouquan and motioned for him to come out with me.

"What do you command?"

I looked at him and asked, "Gonggong Jiang, how many years have you followed the emperor?"

Jiang Shouquan counted his fingers and said: "The slave has been serving with the emperor since he was still a prince, and it has been more than 30 years. ”

I nodded and said: "Actually, Gonggong Jiang's loyalty to the palace is also visible, and now it involves one thing that the emperor's 'life' is in danger, but...... I'm afraid it will implicate the East Palace. ”

Jiang Shouquan was shocked and asked, "Niangniang, what happened?"

I let out a long sigh and told him about the right guard of the East Palace who had denounced the witch Gu just now, and said, "This palace has sent a few adults over, hoping to find out about this matter." ”

Jiang Shou's all-round 'color' was pale, his lips were trembling, and his hands and feet didn't seem to obey the call, and he said in a trembling voice: "This ...... How is this possible...... The emperor is good to the crown prince, others don't know, the slave ...... The slave saw it with his own eyes, why is the prince so confused!"

Oh, listening to this tone, he didn't believe the prince very much!

I sighed: "I can't make up my mind at this time, this palace tells you that I am afraid that once the incident happens, the emperor will not be able to stand it, so I ......"

"Don't worry, the slave will not let the emperor be stabbed again......!

"The palace has sent a few adults over, and I will go to the East Palace to visit later, and Gonggong Jiang only needs to stay by the emperor's side. ”

Jiang Shouquan wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied hurriedly: "Yes, yes." It's up to the queen. ”
