The emperor was unconscious, and the imperial doctor was helpless when he came.

A group of ministers and princes gathered in the east hall to discuss various matters, the queen is a person in the harem, it is not appropriate to observe, so they can only wait anxiously in the side hall.

"Yingxue has seen the queen mother." When Lin Yingxue walked into the side hall, there was a depressing and solemn atmosphere lingering in the entire side hall.

"Excuse me, you all stand down." As soon as she bent down to salute, the queen beckoned to her and sent away the palace people in the side hall.

Lin Yingxue stepped forward according to the queen's wishes, only to see the queen frowning and looking at her, and said with a solemn expression: "I'm afraid the emperor is really bad this time." ”

Originally, the emperor's body had almost reached the point of running out of oil, if he had been recuperating at that time, maybe the emperor would have lived a few more days, but because of the appearance of Meng Yi, the emperor has been holding on to the court physically in order to keep this throne.

When that last bit of lamp oil is exhausted, the emperor's body will not be able to do so.

Looking at the queen's heavy face, Lin Yingxue was speechless for a while.

Just as the suppressed aura was gathering towards Lin Yingxue little by little, Liu De suddenly hurriedly walked in from outside.

"What do those people in the East Temple say?" As soon as the queen saw Liu De, she stood up excitedly.

"Back to the Queen." Liu De arched his hand, his face was not very optimistic, "Recently, there has been a sudden flood in the north, and all kinds of things need to be dealt with in the court, and the emperor fell when the monarch was needed to preside over the scene...... Now everyone means to let King Yi act as the government first......"

"What?!" As soon as Liu De's words fell, the queen raised her tone and said: "Even if the emperor is not in good health, the most important person to come out to take care of the government at this time should be the prince, when will it be the turn of King Yi?" ”

"This ......" Liu De, who was under great pressure, raised his sleeve and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and then replied: "The main reason is that the prince is now sick in bed, and there is no way to deal with court affairs, and the other princes are not handpicked by the emperor, and they cannot trespass ......."

In this way, isn't the most suitable candidate at the moment falling on Meng Yi?

"The prince's illness is really not at the right time!" The queen sat back in her chair with a frustrated face, but after thinking about it, the queen was still a little puzzled: "There are not a few people in the court who support the crown prince and the five princes, what do those ministers do, how can they allow people to make such suggestions?" ”

According to the queen's thoughts, the prince's party and the five princes' party are now fighting in court, and Meng Yi only joined in at the end, and he should be the weakest one, but now it is this person with the weakest foundation who has the upper hand, which is simply incomprehensible.

"The queen doesn't know." Speaking of this, Liu De couldn't help but flash a look of surprise and admiration on his face, "Originally, in addition to the ministers in the court, in addition to the people who supported the crown prince and the five princes, there were also some ministers who had always been neutral on the surface. ”

"Many of these ministers who remained neutral on the surface today have come forward to support King Yi's temporary throne, including several cabinet elders who also seem to be shaken......"

"What?" After listening to Liu De's words, the queen's eyebrows were almost twisted into a dead knot between her eyebrows.

- She never thought that Meng Yi had only been in the imperial city for such a short time, and she had already pulled the elder of the pavilion...... If such a person is given time, he will not play the entire court?

"King Yi must not be allowed to sit on the throne!" The queen's tone was rock-solid and unshakable.

Lin Yingxue and Liu De glanced at each other, both of them lowered their heads and were silent.

After the palace was quiet for a while, the queen turned her gaze for help to Lin Yingxue, "Yingxue, your medical skills are outstanding, is there a way to make the prince get better soon, as long as the prince is healthy, then we are sure of winning this battle." ”

The queen's eyes were full of anxiety, and Lin Yingxue's eyes dodged slightly-she was thinking at this time that if the queen knew that the prince's delay in getting better was actually her handiwork, would the queen be so angry that she wanted to stab her to death with a sword?

"Prince ......"

"Queen Mother, it's not good!"

Lin Yingxue was thinking about answering, but at this time, a man dressed as a servant hurriedly broke in under the leadership of the palace maid.

Lin Yingxue recognized at a glance that the little guy was from the prince's mansion, and the queen must be the same, so she didn't reprimand, but said with a little bad face: "What's the matter with such a panic?" ”

"Back to the queen's mother, His Royal Highness the Prince's condition suddenly worsened at noon today, and the doctor came to check and said that he was poisoned, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in a coma...... The little ones didn't know what to do, so they hurried into the palace to report to the queen. The little guy's face was full of anxiety.

And the queen's face changed suddenly after listening to the words of the little girl, and her body shook even more, and she almost didn't stand firm, "Quick, prepare the car, this palace is going out of the palace to see the prince!" ”

The queen hurried out with the support of the palace maid, without the majesty of the past, the only thing she had was the worry of being a mother.

Lin Yingxue was stunned for a moment, and quickly kept up with the queen's pace, but her mind was a little confused - the prince's poisoning would not have anything to do with her, right?

At this time, the prince's mansion was already in chaos, and all the subordinates were moving around anxiously, and even the queen had no time to take care of it.

The queen went straight to the prince's room, the prince was lying on the bed with a pale face, and seemed to be still in a coma, Feng Wanwan was still crying like Lin Yingxue saw last time, and she didn't care about her image at all.

As for Fang Mengru, she was much calmer, although she also looked anxious, she was still directing her subordinates to work in an orderly manner.

"Feng'er!" The queen anxiously threw herself to the bedside, and Feng Wanwan saw the queen coming, so she reluctantly moved some places to the side and came out to the queen.

"What the hell is going on?" The queen looked at the prince intently, but the words in her mouth were asking the people in the house.

"After returning to my mother, Brother Feng was fine in the morning, but when I was eating at noon, I suddenly coughed up blood and fell into a coma, so the concubine hurriedly called someone to invite the doctor to come over, who expected that after the doctor's examination, he said that Brother Feng was poisoned, and the doctor said that Brother Feng's situation was more complicated, but first prescribed two prescriptions to stabilize Brother Feng's condition, and then went down to study the prescription." Fang Mengru explained with a solemn expression.

After listening to Fang Mengru's words, the queen's face was almost gloomy as if it was about to drip water.

"Poisoned? It's really the opposite, who is so bold that he dares to murder the prince, but has he caught the murderer?! The queen glared angrily at the people in the room, and her once-gentle countenance now looked a little frightening.

"After returning to my mother, the incident happened suddenly, and my daughter-in-law has not found any clues for the time being......"

When Fang Mengru said this, Xiaoqing, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but glance at Lin Yingxue.

And Lin Yingxue, who was contemplating, didn't notice Xiaoqing's complicated gaze. She thought about it, rolled up her sleeves and walked to the prince's bedside, holding her breath and concentrating on the prince's pulse.

"Go and invite the doctor who treated Brother Feng to come over as well." Fang Mengru saw Lin Yingxue make a move, so she couldn't help but turn her head and order Xiaoqing behind her, but Xiaoqing still stood motionless as if she hadn't heard it.

"Xiaoqing?" Fang Mengru waited for a while and saw that Xiaoqing didn't move, so she couldn't help but turn her head and look at Xiaoqing in confusion.

"The slave is not sure!" However, Xiaoqing suddenly blurted out as if she had suddenly been awakened from a certain state.

Xiaoqing's voice was very loud, and even Lin Yingxue, who was concentrating on taking her pulse, was attracted to attention, and turned her head to look at Xiaoqing with some confusion.

Seeing this situation, Xiao Qing couldn't help but shrink behind Fang Mengru in fear, and in such a serious situation, Fang Mengru couldn't help but glare at Xiao Qing with some reproach, "What are you talking about, why don't you go and invite that doctor quickly." ”

was reprimanded by her own lady like this, Xiaoqing pulled her legs and was about to leave, but when she left, she glanced at Lin Yingxue intentionally or unintentionally.

The look in his eyes seemed a little frightened and a little puzzled.

The queen caught Xiaoqing's small move, and couldn't help shouting: "Stop!" ”

The whole air seemed to freeze after the queen's voice.

Xiaoqing's body stiffened, and he knelt down as soon as he turned around.

The queen walked up to Xiaoqing step by step, looked at Xiaoqing condescendingly, and asked word by word: "What do you mean by what you said, and why do you want to see the county lord of Yuhui?" ”

'Grunt', the queen's words not only hit Xiaoqing's heart hard, but also hit Lin Yingxue's heart hard.

Lin Yingxue turned her head to look at Xiaoqing, and a bad premonition floated in her heart.

Sure enough, Xu couldn't withstand the pressure of the queen, Xiaoqing glanced at Lin Yingxue with some fear, and then said hesitantly: "A few days ago, the slave maid saw the county lord of Yuhui enter the kitchen, and it seemed that ...... Seem...... Moved the prince's medicine jar......"

At that time, the slave didn't think much about it, but within a few days of this incident, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was suddenly poisoned, so she ...... "That's why she wondered if Lin Yingxue had done something in the prince's medicine."

At this moment, Lin Yingxue's limbs were cold, and before she could explain, the queen's sharp gaze like a knife swept towards her.

"Is what this woman said true?" There was already a faint murderous intent in the queen's eyes.

Lin Yingxue couldn't argue, she naturally couldn't tell the queen that she had drugged the prince, but what she gave the prince was a medicine that was harmless to the prince's body.

"Queen Mother, Yingxue is not such a person, there must be some misunderstanding in this!" Before Lin Yingxue could think about how to speak, Fang Mengru had already stood up and hurriedly defended Lin Yingxue.

But no matter how kind the queen is, in the face of her son's assassination, she can no longer maintain her former calm and kindness.

"Misunderstanding?" The queen looked at Lin Yingxue and smiled coldly, her eyes were cold, "If it was a misunderstanding, why did she move the prince's medicine jar, and why didn't she defend herself now?" ”

"This ......" Fang Mengru was speechless for a while, she looked back at Lin Yingxue suspiciously.

Just as he was about to speak, several guards suddenly came over with a maid ring, "See the queen mother, the crown princess mother, this girl ring just sneakily wants to escape, and the subordinates see that this person is a little suspicious, so they specially bring this person over to the crown princess for interrogation." ”
