When the emperor heard this, he immediately turned around and glanced at the queen, and when he saw her with tears in his eyes, he immediately sighed and said, "Okay, queen." Get up! Don't thank you much for the queen mother? ”

"Thank you for your mother's grace." As she spoke, the queen immediately rose from the ground.

But the Queen Mother had already turned her head to look at her youngest son.

The emperor looked at the weak and haggard appearance of the queen mother, frowned and said, "What kind of disease does the queen mother have?" Didn't Imperial Doctor Wang just come to check the pulse? Call him in! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Jing Yue answered, and immediately went out to invite the imperial physician who was waiting in the side hall in.

After inviting Ye Hou as usual, the imperial physician immediately said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the queen mother is actually not much sick, but the elderly are old, and sometimes they don't pay attention to the food they eat, so they eat bad stomach, so they will have abdominal pain. “

"It's as simple as that?" The emperor said suspiciously.

Imperial Physician Wang immediately replied: "Back to the emperor, this is not a big problem for young people. Sometimes you don't need to take medicine at all, and you will heal soon, but the elderly are different, the queen mother is old, and the digestion of the stomach is not good, and then eat some greasy, cold and hard food, I can't stand it at all......"

"Cold, hard, greasy food?" When the emperor heard this, he immediately turned his head to Jingyue and asked, "What did the Queen Mother eat all day today?" ”

Jing Yue was startled, and hurriedly turned around and went out to take out a list and said, "Your Majesty." This is the list of meals used by the Queen Mother today, all on it, please take a look. ”

The emperor took it, looked at it carefully, and after a while, said: "This is all some porridge and light rice, there is no greasy and cold food, could it be that you gave the queen mother cold rice?" ”

Jing Yue was frightened into a cold sweat, and hurriedly spoke: "The emperor has been wronged!" The food eaten by the Queen Mother is made in the small kitchen of Cining Palace, and every time it is served, it is hot, you just lend the slave a hundred guts, and the slave and maid dare not give the Queen Mother a cold meal! ”

She said sincerely, and the emperor immediately believed it, but said suspiciously: "Then the imperial doctor said that the queen mother eats greasy, cold and hard food, what's going on?" ”

When the emperor asked, Xuanyuan Jingxi sat aside all the time. Holding the hand of the Queen Mother with his hand, he listened quietly.

"The slave remembered!" At this moment, Jingyue suddenly realized: "This morning, the Queen Mother invited more than a dozen daughters led by Miss Zhang and Miss Wang to enter the palace to relieve boredom. ”

Imperial Physician Wang interjected, "Yes." Pastries and other things are better for the old lady to eat less. ”

Aunt Jingyue was embarrassed on the side: "However, the young ladies are too enthusiastic, and the Queen Mother thinks that she can't save everyone's face, so she ......"

The emperor immediately said angrily: "Someone is coming."

！ Bring Miss Wang and Miss Zhang in! ”

Xuanyuan Jingxi interjected on the side: "Brother Huang, if we try the case, it's better to go outside, after all, the queen mother still needs to rest." ”

As soon as the emperor heard this, he immediately ordered the imperial physician to give the queen mother another pulse, and several people walked out, but at this moment, the imperial physician suddenly spoke: "Aunt Jingyue, I don't know if you can bring the two plates of pastries that the queen mother has eaten to Weichen?" ”

Hearing this, the emperor, who had already gone outside, immediately returned, and Xuanyuan Jingxi and the queen also followed.

The ladies in the outer hall didn't know that they had caught fire. is still waiting outside stupidly, especially Wang Yanfei, she just dropped Zhang Yan's face in front of people, and she is proud at the moment!

Jingyue didn't dare to slack off, so she hurriedly got up and took the pastries that Wang Yanfei and Zhang Yan had presented together before, and handed them to Imperial Doctor Wang. And said: "The Queen Mother of Walnut Cake ate a whole piece, and the Queen Mother of Peach Blossom Cake only took a bite." ”

The emperor and Xuanyuan Jingxi were watching intently. He threw wood blood.

Imperial Physician Wang lowered his head and sniffed the two plates of pastries, reached out and broke a small piece on one of the plates of pastries, put it in his mouth and tasted it carefully, suddenly his face changed greatly, and he reached out and broke off a piece of the other plate of pastries to taste, and then said to the emperor with a solemn face: "Your Majesty!" This pastry is mixed with laxatives! ”

Cathartic? The emperor's face changed suddenly.

Xuanyuan Jing stood up suddenly, strode out, and the emperor looked at him in surprise and said, "Seventh brother, what are you going to do?" ”

"Brother Chen, go kill Zhang Yan and Wang Yanfei!" Xuanyuan Jingxi left a sentence and walked out.

The emperor hurriedly ordered: "Someone! Go and stop King Jing! Don't let him hurt the two young ladies! ”

"Yes! Emperor! When the guards outside heard the order, they immediately swarmed in.

"Jing'er! You're back! At this moment, the Queen Mother suddenly screamed in a heart-splitting voice.

Xuanyuan Jingxi had already rushed out and grabbed Zhang Yan and Wang Yanfei's necks one by one, and when he heard the Queen Mother's call, he immediately threw the two of them to the ground and walked in.

The guards saw him enter, and the emperor did not give an order, so they retreated in an orderly manner.

Wang Zhang and the others were almost strangled to death by Xuanyuan Jingxi, and at this moment they fell to the ground hard, and they were about to suffocate in pain.

In the inner hall, the Queen Mother was lying on the bed, looking at her son who had gone and returned, and asked worriedly: "Jing'er, what did you just do?" ”

"Erchen is going to kill those two women! You are so good to them, but they are not grateful, and dare to drug you, they should be punished! Xuanyuan Jingxi said coldly, his voice was as cold as ice.

However, the Queen Mother shook her head,

said: "Jing'er, the mourning family doesn't believe that the medicine in the pastry was given by them, those two children are not bad in nature, they must have been taken advantage of." ”

The queen suddenly interjected on the side: "Aunt Jingyue, all the food of the queen mother needs to be tasted, but how could such a thing happen?" ”

When Jingyue heard this, a trace of shame suddenly appeared on her face, but before she could confess, the Queen Mother suddenly said: "This matter has nothing to do with her, but the mourning family felt that Yan'er and Yanfei would not harm me, so they didn't ask them to try it." ”

Imperial Physician Wang interjected on the side: "Laxatives are different from poisons, they don't have an immediate attack, even if Aunt Jingyue tries it, it has no effect. ”

When the people thought that this was indeed the case, they fell silent.

"Imperial Physician Wang, has your prescription been prescribed?" Xuanyuan Jingxi opened his mouth to ask, his face was still cold: "Since there is a laxative in that pastry, why didn't you test it out in the first place?" ”

When the imperial physician heard this, a trace of shame suddenly appeared on his face: "His Royal Highness King Jing, I'm really embarrassed, firstly, the Queen Mother of this pastry has eaten very little, and secondly, her symptoms are indeed very similar to eating a bad stomach, so Weichen will misdiagnose it, and please punish His Royal Highness!" ”

"Punish what? I can't blame you for this. The emperor waved his hand and said to the imperial doctor: "Hurry up and prescribe a prescription to order someone to decoct the medicine!" It is the right thing to let the queen mother get better early. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Imperial Physician Wang wiped the cold sweat from his head and immediately went out to prescribe medicine.

The emperor took the lead, Xuanyuan Jingxi and the queen followed, and everyone went out of the inner hall together.

When the daughters saw them coming out, they immediately knelt on the ground: "See the emperor!" Queen Mother! His Royal Highness King Jing! ”

"Get up!" The emperor said lightly, and as he spoke, he sat down on the top. The queen sat beside her, and Xuanyuan Jingxi stood at the bottom, her eyes cold.

Zhang Yan and the others experienced the pinch just now, and they were already like frightened birds, but at this moment, Xuanyuan Jingxi came out, but none of them dared to look at him.

The emperor coughed lightly and said, "Okay, you have been in the palace for a long time today, except for Miss Zhang and Miss Wang, please step down!" ”

When everyone heard this, they didn't know why, but they could only nod their heads and say yes.

But at this moment, Xuanyuan Jingxi on the side suddenly spoke: "Brother Huang! Cannot! They came to the palace together today, and who knows if there are any hidden bad people among them who can't leave! ”

When all the daughters heard this, they were all shocked.

Especially Zhang Yan and Wang Yanfei, they were even more frightened.

When the emperor heard this, he turned his head and glanced at his brother's face as black as the bottom of a pot, and knew in his heart that the queen mother was drugged today made Xuanyuan Jingxi very angry. But this kid's temper is really bad, and that Miss Zhang is his fiancée! I pinched it so indiscriminately

People, they don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, right?

That Miss Zhang and Miss Wang are both rare beauties! If it weren't for the queen mother's quick move, he would have been included in his harem! The emperor sighed in his heart, and immediately said: "Okay, it's up to you, no one is allowed to leave." ”

"Brother Xie Huang!" Xuanyuan Jingxi said.

The emperor turned around and immediately ordered Aunt Jingyue to tell the results of the diagnosis just now to the daughters.

When everyone heard that Imperial Physician Wang had found a laxative from the pastries of Zhang and Wang, their eyes widened in surprise, no one expected that it would be such a result!

Zhang Yan and Wang Yanfei almost fainted!

It was easy to regain her senses, Zhang Yan immediately knelt down with a plop, and said with a miserable face: "Your Majesty! The courtiers' caution towards the Queen Mother can be expressed! It is absolutely impossible for a courtier to frame the Queen Mother! It's too ......late for the courtiers to love her," he said, and he couldn't stop crying.

"Your Majesty, the courtiers will never assassinate the Queen Mother! Ask the emperor to be the master of the courtiers! Wang Yanfei also knelt down with a plop.

The emperor glanced at the two beauties kneeling in front of him. He frowned and said to Xuanyuan Jingxi: "Seventh brother, I think that since this Miss Zhang is the fiancée personally selected by the queen mother for you, it is absolutely impossible for her to harm the queen mother, she has no reason!" As for Miss Wang, although I don't think she is the princess that the queen mother will give you, she will never treat you less than Miss Zhang, and it is impossible for her to harm the queen mother. “

"Didn't they give this cake to the queen mother themselves? Can there be any mistake in the results of the personal examination of Imperial Physician Wang? Xuanyuan Jingxi still said with a stinky face. From the time he left the inner hall to the present, he had never looked at Zhang Yan and Wang Yanfei squarely.

After listening to the emperor's words, Zhang Yan was fine, but Wang Yanfei on the side suddenly blushed, but he was very proud in his heart. Look, even the emperor knows that her love for Xuanyuan Jingxi is no less than that of Zhang Yan, can the main son Xuanyuan Jingxi not know? Thinking about it, she turned her head to look at Xuanyuan Jingxi, but as a result, she only saw an expressionless side face. All kinds of thoughts in her heart suddenly froze and collapsed.

"Or? Is it framed by someone else? At this moment, the queen on the side suddenly spoke: "Although this pastry is made by the two young ladies of King Zhang personally, but from outside the palace to Cining Palace, the people who pass by on the way must be indispensable, and no one can be sure that the pastry has laxatives, which are harmed by the two young ladies." ”

Wang Yanfei originally thought that he had already offended the queen. was secretly afraid, but he suddenly heard this, and suddenly looked at the queen with grateful eyes.

The queen smiled at her and withdrew her gaze. Her son, the third prince, is already sixteen this year, and it is time to set up a concubine, but there are too many powerful princes in the court, except for the second prince Xuanyuan Yan, who was born to the first queen, was made the crown prince and chose the young lady of the Jinye Houfu, the rest of the princes also chose the court

A woman with strong strength is a concubine. Even the Queen Mother chose Zhang Yan, the daughter of the right prime minister, as her concubine for His Royal Highness King Jing, and she naturally had to make more plans for her son.

And Wang Yanfei is the target she values.

As for Wang Yanfei's liking of King Jing......

The queen suddenly sneered in her heart, who can be alone in this time of power? What do you like others to be afraid of? Women are fickle, she will think of ways to tell her to forget Wang Yanfei!

At this moment, Wang Yanfei didn't know that she had been targeted by the queen, and she was full of joy and gratitude.

Xuanyuan Jingxi listened to the queen's words, but said to the emperor with a smile: "Brother Huang, now the evidence is conclusive, the pastries were brought in by them to give to the queen mother, and the queen mother did eat their pastries before the abdominal pain was unbearable, and now the imperial doctor has checked out that there are laxatives in the pastry, what is the imperial brother going to do?" "He's throwing his skills.

The emperor heard this. Turning his head to look at the queen, who was looking at him with disapproving eyes, he sighed and said, "Didn't Jingyue just say that these young ladies who entered the palace all brought pastries to the queen mother?" Then check everyone's pastries! ”

Xuanyuan Jingxi had no objection to this, and immediately ordered Jingyue to present all the pastries brought by the daughters.

It just so happened that Imperial Physician Wang had already finished prescribing the medicine and came over, so he checked the more than a dozen plates of colorful pastries on the table in the same way.

At this moment, all the daughters looked at Doctor Wang to inspect the pastries they brought one by one, and they were all very nervous.

Because it was about the Queen Mother, Imperial Physician Wang didn't dare to slack off, he examined it very carefully, but the process was no different from the two plates of pastries before. Every time he put down a plate of pastries and shook his head and walked to the next plate, there was a young lady in the hall who breathed a long sigh of relief, revealing the expression of the rest of her life.

Because there were too many pastries, Imperial Doctor Wang looked at it for half an hour, during which Xuanyuan Jingxi and the emperor and queen were staring at this side tightly, and their eyes were wrong, and no one was impatient.

Until the end, Dr. Wang did not find a plate of poisonous pastries.

Except for Zhang Wang and the others, all the daughters showed relieved expressions. Of course, because all the pastries are not poisonous, it becomes more and more problematic that Zhang Yan and Wang Yanfei are problematic, and the expressions on their faces become more and more ugly.

But at this moment, the queen suddenly stepped forward and inspected all the pastries on the big case, and suddenly her eyes fell on one place: "Which lady belongs to these two plates of pastries?" ”

"The queen is a courtier's." After listening to the emperor's words, a young lady on the left side of the crowd lined up, and Lang Sheng responded, "Is there any problem?" ”

This girl is Xuanyuan Huiqing, she is wearing a pink skirt today, with light makeup and a slender figure, standing there is quite eye-catching, not to mention that she also has a tranquil temperament.

"Nope." The queen smiled slightly and said gently, "I'm just very."

I wonder why you brought two plates of pastries to the palace with only one plate of pastries. ”

Xuanyuan Huiqing smiled shyly, and said in a low voice: "Back to the queen mother, because I can't eat what kind of pastries the queen mother likes, so the courtiers prepared two plates, but I didn't expect that the queen mother didn't eat one of the two plates of pastries." “

"It's your luck that you didn't eat it." The queen said lightly, said, looked at the two plates of pastries, and said: "This palace is just very strange, one of your two plates of pastries is walnut cake and the other is peach blossom cake, which is exactly the same as what Miss Zhang and Miss Wang did?" ”

When everyone heard this, they all felt that something was wrong.

However, Xuanyuan Hui Qingming clearly saw the doubts on everyone's faces, but he was quite calm: "Back to the mother's words, before entering the palace, the courtiers secretly inquired about the preferences of the queen mother, for fear that they would send disgusting things in, this walnut cake and peach blossom cake were told to the courtiers by others, so the courtiers did this." ”

"Oh? So who told you this? The queen smiled gently.

Xuanyuan Huiqing's eyes glanced at the crowd and said, "It's Miss Liang from the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion." ”

When Liang Rujun heard this, he immediately crossed the line and said to the queen: "Niangniang, this is indeed what the courtier told Sister Huiqing." ”

"Oh? And that plate of pastries did you make again? The queen asked with a smile.

Liang Rujun stretched out his hand to a plate of Poria cakes placed in a corner of the table, and said, "Back to the mother, this is made by the courtier." ”

The queen turned her head and glanced at the plate of poria cakes, and turned her head with a knife in her eyes: "Miss Liang, you told Miss Xuanyuan that the Empress Dowager likes to eat walnut cakes and peach blossom cakes, but you made other pastries yourself?" ”
