Chapter 772: Someone Poisoned
The days were very peaceful and peaceful, and Baili Yunzheng's talent for governing the country happened to be revealed at this time.
He first opened a warehouse to release grain to solve the problem of eating for the people, and then issued a reward system to encourage the people to farm and other policies, and soon the country's resentment of the people was reduced a lot, not only reducing their taxes but also allowing the people to have food, everyone felt that Baili Yunzheng was a particularly good emperor.
Baili Yunzheng and his wife have changed from the previous life of wandering the world to the life mode of being together in the palace all day long, of course, Li Chuxia is not idle, she has been helping Baili Yunzheng think of some good strategies to govern the country well.
The strategies of the two were often implemented very successfully, not only solving the imminent difficulties of the people, but also winning unanimous praise from officials and the people throughout the country.
Qiu Lin has been sad for a long time since she was beaten by Lu Fengling that day, and when Baili Yunzheng and they raised troops to return to the court, she resigned and returned to Baihu Mountain, one is afraid that Lu Fengling will really do something bad to herself, and the other is that she is interested, and she can be regarded as the most important woman in Baili Yunzheng's heart is Li Chuxia.
On this day, when Li Chuxia got up in the morning, he found that he was dizzy and a little uncomfortable, so Li Chuxia called his palace maid Green Cicada to help him go back to the palace to rest, and Baili Yunzheng was in the main hall to go to the morning court.
It has long been rumored that the emperor and the queen are in love with each other in this palace, and the emperor's harem is almost empty except for Li Chuxia. Moreover, the emperor also has a special habit, that is, he has to rest at the queen's place every night, his own bedroom, Baili Yunzheng almost never stays overnight by himself.
Green Cicada thought of this, and looked at Li Chuxia lying on the bed, she only felt that her master was pregnant, but she was embarrassed to say, she just smiled lightly and secretly pulled up the bed curtain and walked down.
"Queen Mother, if you feel unwell, please let me know at any time, and I will come." The green cicada thought about it, but still felt that it was more appropriate to say hello.
Under the gauze tent, the beautiful eyes closed slightly, and she said a soft "um", and then retreated and everyone lay down to rest.
The green cicada walked outside and carefully closed the door from the outside.
At this time, the pothos watering the flowers in the yard came over at this time.
"Sister Green Cicada, what's wrong with the Queen Mother!? Wasn't there a spirit in the past? How can you look so depressed today? Pothos inquired.
Both the green cicada and the green pothos are the palace maids in the queen's palace, but the green pothos is a little lower than the green cicada.
The green cicada didn't have any thoughts, and saw that the green pothos asked, so he replied: "This, I guess it's due to the wind, it's a little uncomfortable." ”
When the pothos saw the green cicada's simple answer, she didn't have anything good to say in her heart.
So she stayed in the queen's bedroom, waiting for the queen to get up and dress with her.
In the splendid hall, the ministers were writing to the emperor what they wanted to say today, and suddenly Master Li of the military department came out and bowed to Baili Yunzheng very politely.
"Your Majesty, since you founded the country, except for the canonization of a queen, there has been no concubine in the palace. For the stability and prosperity of our dynasty, it is the right way for you to choose some concubines to enter the palace as soon as possible to spread your branches and leaves. Master Li said with a sincere look of fear.
"Yes, Your Majesty, there has never been a reason for the emperor to marry only one in my dynasty, you are so dedicated to the queen, aren't you afraid that the world will follow suit? What will we do when our population is sparse and our national strength is weak!? Another minister asked.
Baili Yunzheng reached out and rubbed his forehead a little helplessly, why did these ministers ask him to draft a girl or something when he had nothing to do all day, he was irritable enough, and there were many more women, I really don't know if I can handle it.
"Ministers, is there anything else to report besides this matter? If not, then I want to retreat now. Baili Yunzheng said calmly.
At the instigation of the ministers in the audience, the ministers only pretended that the emperor refused to let the nuns enter the palace for the draft, and suddenly Baili Yunzheng asked them if they had anything else, and everyone became speechless.
In the queen's palace, Li Chuxia was dizzy, and after a short rest, he felt a little better, Li Chuxia sat up with a red face and thought about whether he had eaten something wrong.
At this moment, Li Chuxia suddenly felt an uncomfortable feeling in her stomach, and immediately she began to retch, and the green pothos immediately ran into the house, and then asked, "Queen Mother, are you okay?" ”
Li Chuxia continued to retch, and the pothos came over in a panic and patted Li Chuxia on the back, and it took a long time for Li Chuxia to recover.
Li Chuxia raised her eyes, looked at the air for a long time and thought about something, and after a while, her face became red again.
At this time, the several palace maids on the scene all saw it thoroughly, what was uncomfortable, but the emperor came to the queen's palace every night, and the queen was happy again.
The green cicada brought Li Chuxia a cup of tea to rinse his mouth, and then asked softly: "Niangniang, do you have a sign of joy!" Why don't you go and ask a doctor to check your pulse now? ”
Li Chuxia shook his head, looking embarrassed, and then said: "The emperor is busy with political affairs every day, you called the imperial doctor, if you diagnose the happy pulse, the emperor will definitely have to work for me all day long, I don't think I will ask the imperial doctor to come and see." ”
Green Pothos glanced at Li Chuxia with a shocked face, and then she suddenly realized that she could go back and tell Master Li something.
Li Chuxia didn't plan to alarm Baili Yunzheng immediately, in case he just had a stomach upset or an uncomfortable appetite, let's wait for a while.
Li Chuxia didn't take retching to heart after planning like this.
On this day, when the ministers were going down, Luluo hurriedly ran to the vicinity of the palace gate and waited for Master Li to give him something when he passed by.
At this time, the ministers finally walked out of the main hall, and the pothos pretended to be just passing by and walked past Lord Li, and then walked along the road.
"Xiaoqing!" Master Li walked over, and the pothos hid behind a stone gate.
"My lord, the queen mother is retching more than this morning, and eighty percent of them are pregnant." The pothos looked left and right and hurried to Lord Li and said.
The reason why Lord Li sent pothos into the queen's palace was mostly because his daughter had also reached the age of Jilu, and he originally planned to let his daughter be elected as a show girl into the palace after the new emperor ascended the throne, but unfortunately he didn't know what his habits were, and he only favored one queen and didn't hold a draft ceremony.
Master Li was very angry when he thought of this, so he said to the green pothos: "You wait! I'll go back and get something, I'll put it here tomorrow, and you can put what I brought with you in the Queen's glass and let her take it." ”
When Luluo heard Lord Li's words, she was also very scared, but she thought that she had almost starved to death on the street before, or Lord Li would support her, and then when Li Chuxia chose the palace maid, she let her skillfully blend into the team of a group of girls who asked for food, and she pretended to be pitiful and moved Li Chuxia, and was accepted into the queen's palace.
Pothos nodded, as a yes, and then she boldly turned and left.
The next day, the pothos came here as planned to find out if Mr. Li had left anything, and sure enough, there was a stone in the place where Mr. Li had stood yesterday, and pothos picked up the stone, and sure enough, he saw a small bag of oiled paper pressed underneath.
Pothos took the oil paper bag and returned to the queen's bedroom.
On this day, Li Chuxia was retching uncomfortably, and the green cicada was very worried about the queen's safety, so she was about to call the imperial doctor, but Li Chuxia stopped her and told her not to alarm the imperial doctor first.
At this time, the green pothos happened to return to Li Chuxia's bedroom, and saw Li Chuxia retching, she carefully poured out a little of the medicinal powder in her handbag in the outer room, and then put it in a cup, skillfully poured hot water into it, and asked the little palace maid on the side to let her bring it to Li Chuxia.
Li Chuxia didn't notice anything wrong, but he vomited badly and was a little uncomfortable, and took a sip of the little palace maid's water cup, suppressing the disgusting feeling in his heart.
After drinking the hot water, Li Chuxia finally felt a little better.
But after a while, Li Chuxia felt a sharp pain in his stomach.
Li Chuxia immediately felt that something was wrong, why didn't his stomach hurt when he didn't drink hot water, but now he suddenly started to hurt.
Li Chuxia's face was slightly ugly and looked at the palace maid on the side, and asked, "Is there anything wrong with the food you gave me just now, why did my stomach suddenly start to feel uncomfortable." ”
The green cicada shook her head and said, "The queen mother didn't, everything you ate in the morning was tested for poison by the internal officials, and there was no problem." ”
The pothos saw that it was about to be exposed, so she immediately explained in a panic: "Queen Mother, we didn't do anything." ”
Li Chuxia looked at her, although her face was nervous, but it did not arouse her suspicion.
At this time, the emperor didn't go to the early court for some reason, but came to Li Chuxia's palace, and as soon as he came in, he saw Li Chuxia holding his stomach with a painful look.
"Early summer! What happened to you!? Baili Yunzheng asked, looking at Li Chuxia carefully with a look of concern.
Li Chuxia shook his head, and then said, "It's okay, it's just that I suddenly have some stomach pain." ”
Baili Yunzheng immediately turned his head and asked a few palace maids behind her. "Why are you eating, the queen is so uncomfortable, why don't you go to the imperial doctor!?"
Hearing this, the green cicada turned around in a panic and ran to find the imperial doctor, and Baili Yunzheng sat beside Li Chuxia with a worried face.
Li Chuxia felt a terrible stomachache, she had not been pregnant with a child before, but now her stomach hurt so badly that Li Chuxia's anxious tears fell.
She felt that her child must not be saved, looking at Baili Yunzheng's worried look, Chu Xia hesitated whether to tell him that she was pregnant with a child now?
