Fushou Palace, an empty main hall, outside the hall stood two rows of eunuchs and palace maids who were respectfully waiting to be sent at any time, in the hall, eight gilded pillars supported the entire beam, in the hall, it was so quiet that the landing of a needle seemed a little harsh, occasionally only the sound of the chess pieces touching the white jade chessboard, the last son fell, the sunspot has become a surrounding trend, and the white child fell into the predicament of dying.

The Empress Dowager who held the sunspot owed a debt, and her eyes were full of leisure, even though she knew that in fact, the palace maids and eunuchs outside had been replaced by Sima Rui's people, and the purpose was to monitor her words and deeds.

"Sister, you've lost again." The Queen Mother took a sip of tea and looked at the old lady of Ning Wangfu, who was sitting cross-legged on the seat covered with wool felt in front of her, "In terms of chess skills, you have never won against me, your heart is too big and too aggressive, which is why I lose to you every time I hunt, I lack the courage you have, and you are not as indifferent as me." ”

The old lady also smiled: "People who can achieve the position of the queen mother are naturally indifferent, and I am just an ordinary old woman, I just want to watch my children and grandchildren full of people, for them, I can keep fighting." The old lady raised her eyebrows slightly, and put a white child made of white jade in a seemingly inconspicuous place, and in an instant, the situation on the chessboard was completely reversed, and the white child turned defeat into victory.

The Queen Mother frowned slightly, seemed to be a little surprised, and then continued a little sadly: "You forget, my favorite princess Qinghe is no longer there, and I have no children and grandchildren to protect." ”

"What about Changxi? Counting it out, although he is the son of Jing Donghua, the prodigal son of Western Xia, he was also conceived and born in October by Qinghe, and his body is also the blood of our Daqi royal family," the old lady's old fingers played back and forth with a white son and a black child at hand, "Evil cannot prevail after all, sister, you have been quiet in this Fushou Palace for too long, have you ever thought that sometimes, in fact, it is not time that polishes your fighting spirit, but you yourself and give up on yourself." ”

"I'm old." The Queen Mother closed her eyes, and the palace maid next to her immediately put on a warm fox fur cloak for the Queen Mother.

The old lady lowered her eyes and sighed: "The country is not old, I dare not rest, sister, what about you?" ”

Outside the Qiankun Palace, Sima Han, who had already lived outside the palace and was named King Fu, suddenly took the princess Qin Yuzhao into the palace to visit Emperor Zhaoxuan, and the raw-faced eunuchs all the way made Sima Han more sure of the information that the mysterious person gave him, Sima Rui was in the palace, and he had secretly rebelled.

Sima Han didn't want to bring Qin Yuzhao here, but Qin Yuzhao insisted.

"Husband and wife are birds of the same forest, I can't do it if you let me escape alone when disaster comes, only where I can see you, I can feel at ease."

Outside the hall, Sima Han was in a stalemate with the imperial doctor, Sima Han still looked like a child's temper, and said impatiently to the imperial doctor guarding outside the palace: "This king doesn't care, my father is sick, this king is worried, this king just wants to go in and see." ”

"Lord Wang, Your Majesty has already fallen asleep, and you are so noisy, it will only disturb Your Majesty's rest." The leader is the leader of the Tai Hospital, Tai Yi Zhao, and it is also the nail that Sima Rui has been ambushing in the Tai Hospital for a long time.

Qin Yuzhao also followed and said: "Imperial Doctor Zhao, as soon as the prince heard that the emperor was unwell, he rushed here in a daze, you have to let us do our filial piety." ”

"The filial piety of the fourth brother, I will convey it on my behalf;

。 A sharp male voice broke the deadlock, and Sima Rui walked leisurely from the side of the palace outside the hall, with a thick smile between his eyebrows and eyes, looking really like a brother who cherishes his brother.

"Third brother." Sima Han looked innocent, and when he saw Sima Rui, he greeted him, pointed at Imperial Doctor Zhao and said to Sima Rui: "Third brother, this unknown slave actually stopped me from going in to see my father, and you scolded him for me." ”

Sima Rui glanced at Imperial Physician Zhao who was only resigned, and put on a kind face to persuade Sima Han and said: "Han'er, Imperial Physician Zhao is reasonable, if you go in now, it will only disturb your father's rest, and when the time comes, your father will blame him, but be careful of your ass." ”

"I'm going to go in." Sima Han showed an angry look on his face, and beckoned to a very inconspicuous-looking little guy beside him, "You open the way, let's break in." ”

"Come on, stop the four princes for me." Sima Rui's face changed suddenly, anyway, it had already reached this point, he didn't care about doing a little more.

"Who dare." Volley shouted angrily, the woman's voice was like a mantra to fix the body, so that all the people present were stunned, the person who came was none other than the Queen Mother who had been living in Fushou Palace, the Queen Mother was dressed in gorgeous clothes, and she looked magnificent and dazzling in the winter sun, she sat on the sedan chair carried by sixteen people, watching everything that happened in front of the Qiankun Palace from top to bottom.

After a moment, Sima Rui reacted, the reason why he was so arrogant and bold was that he knew that the Queen Mother had already taken care of things, and now, the Queen Mother could actually walk out of Fushou Palace in such a swagger, and none of the informants he planted in Fushou Palace came to tell him in advance.

"I've seen the Queen Mother." Sima Rui knelt down and saluted, and the attendants outside the hall and Imperial Physician Zhao also kowtowed one after another.

The Queen Mother glanced at Sima Rui, and suddenly said, "Just now, who touched Han'er and didn't let him in?" ”

The two eunuchs who had just stopped Sima Han looked at each other, and as soon as their bodies trembled, they began to kowtow violently to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother didn't see it, but turned back to the old lady of Ning Wangfu and said, "Sister, I heard that there is a maid named Mandarin Duck next to you who is very good, can I borrow one?" ”

The old lady was silent, and she agreed.

"Mandarin ducks, go and unload the arms of the two minions who touched the four princes for me."

"The Queen Mother spares her life, the Queen Mother spares her life."

The Queen Mother did not have the slightest pity: "A slave is a slave, how can it be compared with the master, I just want to tell you, people, you still have to look at your own ability and identity, don't do things that you are not sure of." After that, the Queen Mother's eyes were thrown to Sima Rui, Sima Rui clearly felt the hostility of the Queen Mother, and the appearance of the Queen Mother was a trick he missed.

He thought that he had arranged everything a long time ago, first used Qin Yunxiang to coax the support of the Qin family and the remaining killer forces of the Dou family, and then cooperated with Princess Ning, although he failed later, but he also decisively solved Princess Ning's big trouble, and the county lord of Zhaojing, using her, first eradicated Leng Suxin, the princess to be married in Western Xia, who suddenly popped out.

Sima Rui has a characteristic of doing things, he will dispose of the people who are used as soon as possible, so when he even coaxed and tricked the county lord of Zhaojing into agreeing to cooperate with him to act such a court scandal and send Sima Qiu to the Zongren Mansion, he immediately sent someone to quench the most severe cold poison on the hairpin of the county lord of Zhaojing, it is estimated that the county lord of Zhaojing will not survive tonight, and when others find her body the next day, they will only think that the county lord of Zhaojing is unbearable and hanged herself.

The Queen Mother got off the sedan chair and was about to go in, but Sima Rui suddenly knelt on the ground: "The Queen Mother, my father is in poor health, and the Queen Mother rushes in, for fear of being contaminated with illness and harming the Queen Mother's phoenix body;

。 ”

"The emperor is the son of the mourning family, even if he is sick, the mourning family is not afraid, you get out of the way for me." The Queen Mother's attitude was very resolute, "Are you still holding back, do you also want to be like those two eunuchs, and two arms were removed?" ”

Sima Han suddenly had confidence, and shouted to the little guy just now: "Duofu, open the way ahead." ”

Seeing such a large group of people entering the inner hall like this, Sima Rui stood at the end with his hands and frowned, and Imperial Physician Zhao on the side hurriedly stepped forward and whispered: "Third Highness, please rest assured, Wechen has been taking ** powder for seven seven forty-nine days in a row, and now the emperor is sleepy, even if he wakes up, as long as the rosemary worn by Weichen continues to exude fragrance, what we say, what the emperor will do." ”

Sima Rui frowned, and let go of the worry in his heart: "This is the best, you have to remember that we are in the same boat." ”

Imperial Physician Zhao immediately expressed his loyalty and said: "Weichen is only the order of the three princes. ”

In the hall, the red sandalwood, the curtains, the queen mother walked in the forefront, stopped in front of the emperor's eyes closed to rest, turned around and instructed the palace maids and eunuchs around: "You all go down." ”

The leading eunuch was a little embarrassed: "The imperial doctor instructed that there are few people around the emperor to serve, and the servants ......." ”

"You mean, the mourning family can't take care of the emperor?" The Empress Dowager's eyebrows and eyes were irresistibly majestic, and the people below all gasped, pushing each other one by one, and Sima Rui who was standing outside the hall had an embarrassed expression, and the eunuch who had just come out hurriedly explained: "It's the Empress Dowager's ......." ”

"I see, you're all going down."

As she spoke, the mandarin duck beside the old lady had already come over and slammed the door of the palace shut, deliberately locking Sima Rui outside. Through the rosewood door, Sima Rui smiled coldly, if he was caught so easily, how could he have the confidence to arrange such a big game?

The Queen Mother hurriedly picked up Emperor Zhaoxuan in front of the dragon couch and called one by one, but Emperor Zhaoxuan seemed to be asleep, and there was no response to the call.

"How so?" The Queen Mother pulled the old lady of Ning Wangfu over.

The old lady frowned and looked at it, and said worriedly: "I'm afraid I've drugged someone." ”

The Empress Dowager's hand holding Emperor Zhaoxuan trembled violently, things like witch Gu ** medicine have been banned in Daqi for a long time, but I didn't expect it......

"Perhaps, let the minions give it a try." Duofu, who had been following Sima Han's side, suddenly stepped forward and said, he looked just a little guy with an ordinary appearance, but at this moment, could it be that he had any real skills.

"Sister, what do you see?"

The Queen Mother said very cautiously: "Why do the mourning family believe you? ”

An inexplicable smile suddenly appeared on Duofu's face, and he grabbed the edge of his chin with his hand, and suddenly pulled it hard, and with a bang, he removed the mask that had been covering his face.

The first to react was the old lady.

"Changxi? It's you? The old lady covered her mouth and sighed in a low voice.
