372 Queen Mother (1st Watch)
"Your Majesty......" Gonggong Wei wanted to say that Concubine Jing didn't push him, but before he could speak, the emperor said coldly, "Shut up!" β
Grandpa Wei shut up.
The emperor looked at Concubine Jing with an injured face, for some reason, he no longer had the former pity in his heart, and was replaced by a faint trace of resistance and suspicion.
I didn't.
Concubine Jing didn't say this.
Because she knows better than anyone how effective this medicine is.
"The concubine didn't." The little nun argued, "It's Gonggong Wei who didn't stand firm." β
The emperor said coldly: "Why didn't he stand firm?" β
Grandpa Wei: Uh...... It's true that I didn't stand firm!
Concubine Jing took one last look at the emperor, clenched her veil, turned around and left!
"Concubine Niang! Toffee Niang! The little nun had no choice but to follow, and she looked back until she stepped out of the threshold in the hope that the emperor would keep Concubine Jing, but the emperor didn't.
The emperor looked at the back of Concubine Jing in the distance, and his expression was in a trance for a moment, but only for a moment, and then he went to the study with a serious face.
Grandpa Wei was simply confused, he retreated, and said to Gu Jiao: "Miss Gu, have you seen it all?" Is there something wrong with Your Majesty? He wasn't like this before, did he quarrel with the concubine? Or is it stimulated by something? β
Gu Jiao didn't answer his words, but asked, "Did Concubine Jing really not push you?" β
Wei Gonggong said: "No! Your Majesty is mistaken! I really fell on my own, and it has nothing to do with the concubine! It's really weird......"
"When did Your Majesty become like this?"
"Miss Gu refers to ......"
"It's just that I'm suddenly very indifferent to the concubine."
Ah, Gonggong Wei suddenly realized, he has been looking for a word to describe His Majesty, and he didn't come up with it after thinking about it for a long time, it turned out to be indifferent.
He said: "Not long after, yesterday His Majesty caught Mama Cai in a fit of anger to ask for the guilt, and at night Hui An next to the concubine Niangniang came to report, the concubine Niangniang did not eat or drink all day, Your Majesty moved with compassion, so he went to visit the concubine Niangniang." Your Majesty was so tired that he fell asleep in the middle of the meal, and woke up like that! β
Oh, it looks like someone has touched the medicine in the black bottle.
The godfather is really right, there are really people who like to be smart but are mistaken by cleverness.
Father-in-law Wei looked at the corners of Gu Jiao's hooked lips, and somehow, his scalp went numb: "Miss Gu, what are you laughing at?" β
Gu Jiao blinked: "It's nothing, it's good, Your Majesty is fine, you don't have to worry." β
Gonggong Wei was skeptical: "Don't you really have to worry?" β
Gu Jiao waved her hand: "No, your majesty is very good, I'll go to my aunt's side first if there's nothing to do!" β
"Ah, I'll send Miss Gu." Gonggong Wei sent people out of Huaqing Palace.
Gu Jiao went to Renshou Palace, and the Empress Dowager Zhuang had just left the court and looked at the excerpts in the study.
Her excerpts are different from the emperor's excerpts, she looks at the first-hand excerpts of the six parts, and the ones she agrees to present will be sent to the emperor by the ministers, so what the emperor reviews every day is actually second-hand excerpts......
The sad emperor.
Gu Jiao didn't disturb her aunt, and went to the side hall to find Father-in-law Qin.
Qin Gongcheng took his little Wang Ba to bask in the sun on the grass, and when he saw Gu Jiao coming, his first reaction was to protect his little Wang Ba!
Gu Jiao: "......"
"Ahem!" Realizing that he had overreacted, Gonggong Qin coughed twice, put Xiao Wang Ba into the pool without a trace, and said to Gu Jiao, "Miss Gu is here?" It's sunny, why don't you go sit in the pavilion for a while? β
Never admit that he was worried that Miss Gu would smash his little Wang Ba again.
Although Miss Gu didn't mean it, Xiao Wang Ba was scared, and he felt it deeply.
"Okay." Gu Jiao did not refuse.
The two went to the pavilion, and Father-in-law Qin came over with tea and snacks.
Gu Jiao said: "Father-in-law Qin, the Queen Mother and Your Majesty had signs of discord before the death of the first emperor, and it was not until the death of the first emperor, His Majesty's accession to the throne, and the queen mother's refusal to relinquish power that the two completely broke up. β
Gonggong Qin nodded: "That's right, that's the case." β
It seems that the medicine was given before His Majesty ascended the throne, but the effect of this medicine is not achieved overnight, it has a fermentation process, until the aunt hangs the curtain and listens to the government and touches His Majesty's final bottom line, and the two of them have no turning back.
If this is the case, His Majesty's dislike for Concubine Jing also needs to slowly deepen in the "misunderstandings" again and again.
"Hmm, I thought I would be able to get His Majesty to bring the Dragon Shadow Guard back soon." Gu Jiao muttered.
"What did Miss Gu say?" Gonggong Qin didn't hear clearly.
"Oh, nothing." Don't worry, I've bullied my aunt for so long, so I'm going to ask her to collect some interest first, Gu Jiao's face didn't change and said, "I mean...... Didn't my aunt suspect that someone had drugged His Majesty? Gu Jiao asked.
Gonggong Qin sighed: "Alas, at that time, the first emperor was seriously ill, and the Liu family and the court were in chaos, who would have thought that this would be above?" They all thought that the two had a dispute because of the illness of the first emperor. β
Gu Jiao paused: "What's there to argue about the condition?" β
Qin Gong said fairly: "The first emperor suffered from a head disease, and the imperial doctor and doctor of Zhao State were helpless, so the imperial court invited a doctor from Yan State, and the doctor said that to cure this disease, a craniotomy is required." β
Gu Jiao touched her chin: "My aunt advocates a craniotomy, but Your Majesty disagrees?" β
With her aunt's temperament, she should be bold in trying, but she is more conservative.
Unexpectedly, Gonggong Qin shook his head: "No, Miss Gu guessed wrong, it was His Majesty who advocated a craniotomy, but the Queen Mother disagreed." β
"Is this the case?" Gu Jiao was surprised.
Gonggong Qin nodded again: "That's right." But in fact, before that, the two had several disputes, but they were not known to outsiders. What was the reason for the first dispute, the old slave doesn't remember, and the queen mother doesn't remember either, too many years have passed. In any case, in the eyes of outsiders, the break between the two was because of whether or not to open the skull of the first emperor. β
"Is it finally open?" Gu Jiao was more curious about this.
Gonggong Qin shook his head: "No, before the two of them could dispute and come to a conclusion, the first emperor died." β
Gu Jiao said again: "That...... When did the Queen Mother and Concubine Jing break up? β
Qin Gong said fairly: "In the last few days before the death of the first emperor, the Queen Mother quarreled with Concubine Jing, and the Queen Mother gave Concubine Jing a slap. The old slave was waiting outside at the time, and he didn't hear what the two were arguing about, but he knew that since then, the Queen Mother has stopped interacting with Concubine Jing. β
With her aunt's temperament, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, she has the courage to take any risks, she is a more resolute and brave woman than men, Gu Jiao feels that she is unlikely to disagree with the craniotomy.
Could it be that there is something wrong with the doctor of Yan Guo?
Or make a bold guess, that doctor is the one that Concubine Jing found to murder the first emperor.
It's just that Concubine Jing's conspiracy was discovered by her aunt, so her aunt would oppose craniotomy, and the emperor was drugged, obedient to Concubine Jing's words, and rebellious to her aunt in every way, so he had the latter idea of craniotomy.
So did the first emperor really die of illness?
What was written in the decree he left behind on his deathbed?
Empress Dowager Zhuang came over after reading the excerpt, Gu Jiao saw that she was dressed uprightly, looking like she was going out, and couldn't help asking, "Huh?" Is my aunt going out? β
Empress Dowager Zhuang rolled her eyes: "Aren't you going to act with that stupid emperor?" β
"No need." Gu Jiao curled the corners of her lips, "Aunt has worked hard these days, and in the future, my aunt will not have to force herself to act with Your Majesty." β
If you change to ordinary people, you should ask why, but the Empress Dowager Zhuang didn't ask this, she said: "Will the candied fruit be returned?" β
Gu Jiao spread her hands: "If you don't act, of course you won't give it." β
Empress Dowager Zhuang's face darkened.
Perform!
She's going to act!
Just play five candied fruits!
Then Empress Dowager Zhuang lifted the phoenix robe and went to Huaqing Palace on her feet!
Does this girl think she didn't act well enough!
Hmph, it's a big deal that she works harder!
Today's excerpts are a bit much, last night the Empress Dowager Zhuang shouted that he was really on the agenda, and the news that the crown princess broke the Kun bureau has been sent to the other five countries, among which Liang Guo, Zhao Guo, and Chen Guo have all replied to express their appreciation for the crown princess and congratulations to Zhao Guo, and the three countries have sent invitations to the crown princess of Zhaoguo.
Empress Dowager Zhuang wanted to discuss this matter with him, and the two of them had a good relationship first, so as not to quarrel again in the court.
He didn't go.
As a result, this morning, the Jinluan Hall was really noisy.
There are those who advocate going to the Liang State, the Liang State is the upper country, and befriending it is beneficial to the Zhao State and no harm; There are also those who advocate going to Zhao State, after all, Mr. Meng's hometown is in Zhao State.
There are also those who propose to go to Chen Guo, because Chen Guojun wants to canonize the new queen and go to participate in the post-sealing ceremony, killing two birds with one stone.
The emperor was having a headache, and the palace people reported that the Empress Dowager Zhuang was here.
The emperor didn't think much about it, thinking that he had come to discuss this matter, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, only to hear a powerful call from the door: "Hong'erββ"
The emperor's dragon body was shocked, and the teacup in his hand flew out directly!
