Chapter 274: Acting Minister

With Imperial Physician Li's words, the Queen Mother couldn't think of a reason to refute for a while.

"It won't be the Queen Mother who writes down what she thinks about every day, right?" Prime Minister Yan continued to sneer.

"Poof!" Xu Shizi laughed out loud very unkindly.

Seeing everyone's reaction, especially the ridicule of Xu Shizi, the Queen Mother's face was ugly.

"Shut up!" Shen Yafei gently pinched Xu Shizi's arm and glared at him warningly.

Xu Shizi shrunk his head and grunted, "I didn't do anything. ”

The Queen Mother gritted her teeth and looked at Xu Shizi, and her sharp eyes shot at Xu Shizi with the most ferocious state of affairs. Xu Shizi tilted his head sideways and looked at the Queen Mother with a grin, his eyes glowing with innocence and innocence.

Seeing Xu Shizi like this, the Queen Mother became even more angry. The Queen Mother always felt that Xu Shizi was deliberately angry with herself, could it be that Xu Shizi still held a grudge against Shen Yafei before calculating Shen Yafei? . Or is it that Xu Shizi has joined forces with the crown prince? No matter what, seeing Xu Shizi's arrogant and domineering appearance, the Queen Mother has long hated it in her heart.

"Since the crown prince has no health problems, it means that there is no need for King Yuan to replace him at all. Besides, the power of King Egaku... cough, it's not that the minister has any prejudice against King Yuan, but King Yuan's qualifications are indeed small, and he is not suitable for such a big responsibility. However, the Queen Mother doesn't have to worry, King Yuan is now doing things for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the court, and I believe that in the near future, King Yuan's ability will definitely be able to be tempered. When Prime Minister Yan said the back, he began to explain the Queen Mother earnestly.

The other ministers also nodded in agreement, claiming that King Yuan was not suitable, and the crown prince did not need to retreat into the background.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother was so angry that her muscles came out. The emperor on the side also listened to Prime Minister Yan's words word for word, and he was so angry that his eyes began to flip.

Gonggong Wu on the side saw that the emperor seemed to be convulsing, and shouted in a panic: "Emperor, emperor, what's wrong with you?" ”

Just now, the attention of the big guys was focused on watching the excitement between the Queen Mother and Prime Minister Yan, and now, the ministers have noticed the emperor's situation. Everyone couldn't help but panic: "Your Majesty! ”

"Hurry up and pass on the imperial doctor, you hurry up and help the emperor down!" The most clear and calm brain present was the prince, so it was the prince who was the first to interrupt the panic. Although the crown prince hated the emperor very much, he let the emperor die like this, it was too cheap for him.

The people around the prince took Huang Sadness from the hands of Gonggong Wu and others and carried him down.

"Where are you going to take the emperor?" When the Queen Mother saw that the emperor was taken away by the prince's people, she couldn't help but feel anxious.

"The emperor is in poor health, and today's banquet ends here. Let's all disperse. The prince glanced at the Queen Mother coldly, and the Queen Mother didn't dare to make a sound anymore, so the Prince ordered to leave.

The Queen Mother tossed and turned to nothing, and what happened at the banquet just now was like an abnormal farce, which made the royal people lose face in front of everyone. However, the Queen Mother did not have the consciousness of blaming the culprit, but felt that it was the prince who made her lose face in front of the minister.

Maybe she's old and confused. King Yuan did not have the cheekiness of the Queen Mother, when he left, King Yuan left with the army, and many people's eyes stayed on him along the way, King Yuan didn't dare to look, and he didn't have to look, he could feel that these people were laughing at him, and he was ashamed and annoyed.

Seeing the embarrassed appearance of the Queen Mother and King Yuan, King Lang felt very happy. He has paid so much for them, and he is still an elder brother, but in the end, the Queen Mother and the Empress did not think of leaving the throne to themselves at all. It turned out that for so many years, he was just a pawn used by the Queen Mother and the Empress to help King Yuan compete for the throne, perhaps, from birth, he was destined to be just a pawn in their hands.

King Lang coldly hooked the corners of his mouth, and his eyes were sinister and poisonous.

After the Queen Mother and a group of people returned to Fukang Palace, it took a long time: "Go and see again, has the emperor come back?" ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, the emperor hasn't come back yet." The palace on the side is dark, there is no light and no sound, the palace maid has gone out to see many times according to the queen mother's wishes, and she has been paying attention to the sound outside, but until now there is no sound outside, you don't need to go out to see that the emperor has not returned, so the palace maid answered the queen mother directly without moving.

The queen mother glared angrily, kicked the palace maid, and said angrily: "The mourning family asked you to go to the side to take a look." ”

"Yes." The palace maid got up from the ground and reluctantly responded. At this moment, she wanted to say that she didn't need to look over to know that the emperor had not returned, so why bother. However, the palace maid did not have the guts, so she had to do things according to the queen mother's wishes.

Watching the figure of the palace maid disappear at the door of the palace, the queen mother's mood fell into darkness like the figure of the palace maid.

"Back to the Queen Mother, the emperor hasn't come back yet." When the palace maid arrived outside the Fushou Palace, she symbolically poked in, and stayed at the door for a while before the palace maid turned around and went back to report to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother was even more angry: "Then why don't you go and ask when the emperor will come back?" ”

The queen mother's anger sprayed on the palace maid's body, and the palace maid was afraid that she would be rewarded by the queen mother again, so she immediately bounced back and took a step, bowed down and said, "Yes, the slave maid will go immediately." ”

With that, the maid disappeared into the night again.

What happened at the palace banquet, Concubine Ru told the queen as soon as possible, and the queen was furious, causing a panic in the palace. After Concubine Ru briefly comforted the queen for a few words, she asked the palace maids around the queen to take care of the queen, and then left herself.

Also on this night, in a house, a man in a black cloak said to the man kneeling on the ground, "Do it." ”

As the voice disappeared into the night, so did the people in the night.

The year didn't go very smoothly, after all, something like that happened in the palace. After the palace banquet, many ministers returned home in fear, for fear that their performance at that time would anger the Queen Mother and King Yuan.

Just when they were anxious, something strange happened in the capital. The officers and soldiers guarding the gates of the capital had all died one night before.

The next day, the court was shocked when they got the news, and everyone thought of the villages on the outskirts of the capital that had suddenly disappeared, and their hearts were cold. What's going on? Could it be that some monster has appeared?

The crown prince took this opportunity to release King Ning. The prince's argument is that the situation is serious now, and King Ning's matter has not found any evidence related to King Ning, and now the capital is in danger, and capable and experienced people are needed to deal with and investigate these things, hoping to give everyone a safe environment as soon as possible.

Now everyone is afraid of this kind of thing to death, and no one will hold on to King Ning anymore. At this time, it is better for someone to risk their lives than to take risks themselves. As a result, King Ning was released very smoothly.

However, King Lang was not so reluctant, but unfortunately, King Lang was very soft-spoken after all. In the case of the approval of the hundred officials, it is not easy for him to oppose too obviously. Until Prime Minister Yan sneered and said, "Since this is the case, then send King Lang to investigate this matter, right?" ”

Then, King Lang gave up the struggle, and King Ning left the prison as he wished.

When the Queen Mother learned the news, she jumped up from her seat, turned her head and immediately instructed Mama Hui: "Go and take care of Princess Ning!" ”

However, when Mama Hui went to the palace where Princess Ning lived, she could only see an empty palace, and even the palace maids and eunuchs had disappeared.

Mama Hui returned the news to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother was furious: "How could this be, when did they leave the palace?" Why didn't anyone come to report the mourners? ”

"You, go and call Concubine Ru over and ask her how she arranged for someone to take care of Princess Ning? Why is it that no one has come to report even when people are gone? The Queen Mother was furious and pointed to the palace maid on the side and said.

"Yes, slave and maid go now." The palace maid left in a hurry.

"The concubine sees the Queen Mother." For example, the concubine bowed down to greet the Queen Mother.

"You know how to come!" The Queen Mother was furious, "What's the matter with Princess Ning?" ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, the concubine has just learned the news. As soon as the concubine learned the news, she called someone to investigate. Concubine Ru replied respectfully.

"How could a big living person, call a dozen people in the palace and disappear without a sound? If you can't give an explanation to the mourning family, you don't have to be the princess! The Queen Mother was furious.

"Yes, the concubine will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly." Rufei promised.

After a while, the answer that the Queen Mother wanted came. The most powerful palace maid around Concubine Ru came in and reported to the two masters the reason why she had investigated the news of Princess Ning: "Slave maid, see Queen Mother, see Concubine Ru Niangniang." ”

"Get up. Tell us what you've got. Rufei said anxiously.

"Back to my mother. The slave maid found out that Princess Ning left the palace not long after the palace banquet started last night, and the palace maids and eunuchs in her palace were taken away by the prince's people. So, now there is no one in her palace. The palace maid said.

"What! This prince, it turned out that he had calculated it early in the morning. He dared to go against the mourners! The Queen Mother was furious and angry.

"Queen Mother, what should we do next?" Concubine Ru lowered her head and asked timidly.

"How? Who are the people you sent, and how did they get picked up by the prince's people so easily? The Queen Mother sent her anger out on Concubine Ru.

Concubine Ru's body was stunned, but she didn't dare to make a sound, she lowered her head and listened to the queen mother's scolding, and her eyes slowly turned red

The Queen Mother saw that Concubine Ru looked like she had done something wrong and admitted her mistakes, and she finally felt better. She also knew that this matter could not be blamed on Concubine Ru, who was a concubine and was a person in the palace, so how could she have the ability to confront the prince's people. However, she is uncomfortable, and she has to see someone who is more uncomfortable than her to feel comfortable.
