It was not yet dawn, and the candlelight was shining.

Qianqing Palace.

In the emperor's bedroom, the emperor was lying flat on the bed, he was motionless, like a stone sculpture.

Concubine Li sat on the edge of the bed with a solemn expression.

The chief eunuch Xiao Quanzi bowed down and stood beside him, with an anxious and frightened face.

Just last night and early this morning, the emperor suddenly vomited and diarrhea, thinking that it was just an ordinary bad stomach, and it would be over after a while.

But who would have thought that this problem of vomiting and diarrhea would be endless.

tossed to the end, and the emperor was so stunned that he fainted.

This frightened Xiao Quanzi, he had no master, he didn't think about asking the imperial doctor for the first time, nor did he think about informing the queen mother and the prince, but went to invite the emperor's favorite concubine, Concubine Li, to come over.

It is not unreasonable for Xiao Quanzi to do this, because Concubine Li's status is very important in the emperor's heart.

Even the favor that the queen mother and the prince Li have together is far less than the emperor's favor for Concubine Li.

That's because the time spent alone between the emperor and Concubine Li is the sum of the queen and the prince, and it can't be compared.

Therefore, for these reasons, it is not surprising that Xiao Quanzi invited Concubine Li.

After all, it is not a wrong thing to invite the emperor's favorite person.

Maybe as soon as Concubine Li comes, the emperor will suddenly wake up?

In fact, even if Xiao Quanzi didn't invite Concubine Li to come, when the time came, she would deliberately find an excuse to come.

Because of the emperor's vomiting and diarrhea and falling unconscious, she was the initiator.

I saw her stretch out her hand and gently shake the emperor's shoulders, and called softly: "Your Majesty...... Emperor. ”

Xiao Quanzi also followed and called softly: "Your Majesty, wake up quickly!" Niangniang is here, your favorite and favorite Niangniang is here, open your eyes and take a look! ”

In the face of Concubine Li's affectionate and anxious calls, the emperor was still lying motionless, like a stone carving.

Concubine Li withdrew her hand, sat upright, and said to Xiao Quanzi: "What's going on?" ”

Xiao Quanzi wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and then replied: "The slave is also unknown, I don't know what is going on, from last night to ...... early this morning."

Concubine Li frowned: "The hour is accurate." ”

"Yes." Xiao Quanzi nodded, "From the end of the time, the emperor suddenly began to feel dizzy and abdominal pain, so he vomited up and down, the slave thought that it was also stomach discomfort, who would have thought, this has been vomiting up and down until the end of the ugly time, until now unconscious, the slave was frightened, and hurriedly asked someone to invite the mother." ”

"Hmm." Concubine Li answered, "Did you invite someone else?" ”

Xiao Quanzi shook his head and said: "No, the slave didn't dare to make a noise, for fear of causing chaos in the palace, so he only invited Niangniang to come over, Niangniang, you are the emperor's favorite person, what you say, the weight is heavier than the queen mother and the prince, so ......"

"Okay," Concubine Li drank Xiao Quanzi, this kind of thing is between you and me, understand? ”

Xiao Quanzi nodded hurriedly: "Yes, the slave understands, Niangniang, look, what should be done now?" ”

Concubine Li glanced at the emperor: "The emperor's life should not be in danger for the time being, but this palace is not a doctor, and this matter has to be done by someone from the hospital." ”

"Then the minion is ......" Xiao Quanzi hurriedly turned around and prepared to leave.

Concubine Li sighed in a deep voice: "Come back!" ”

Xiao Quanzi turned around: "What else does Niangniang have to say?" ”

Concubine Li pondered for a long time before she spoke: "The emperor has always been in good health, and he hasn't had any serious illness for more than ten years, how could he suddenly get this strange disease?" ”

Xiao Quanzi's heart tightened and frowned: "Yes! What Niangniang said is that the emperor has always been in good health, but last night was particularly abnormal, and suddenly he vomited and diarrhea without warning. ”

Concubine Li frowned and said: "There is no wind and no waves, it won't be groundless, there must be a reason, the emperor didn't eat anything indiscriminately, right?" ”

Xiao Quanzi blurted out: "That's not it, it should be that you eat more zongzi!" ”

"Zongzi?" Concubine Li's eyes lit up, "That's right! Zongzi, there must be something wrong with Zongzi! ”

"This ...... What does Niang mean? Xiao Quanzi looked at Concubine Li in horror.

Although Concubine Li's words were not very clear, Xiao Quanzi was not stupid, and he had already heard the meaning of Concubine Li's words.

Concubine Li is suspecting which person offered the problematic zongzi, let the emperor eat it, and murdered the emperor!

Concubine Li Niangniang sank her face and said: "On understanding the emperor, you have been the chief eunuch to serve the emperor for less than five years, the palace and the emperor have been married for decades, and there have been dozens of Dragon Boat Festivals, the palace understands the emperor, the emperor eats zongzi, it is absolutely not a problem to eat, once the Dragon Boat Festival, the emperor ate twenty or thirty zongzi in a row, and he didn't see any discomfort, let alone vomiting and diarrhea like now, since there is no problem with the emperor's meal, the problem can only be in this zongzi!" ”

As soon as Concubine Li finished speaking, Xiao Quanzi threw herself in front of her, knelt on her knees, and kowtowed like garlic: "The slave is derelict in his duties, the slave deserves death, and he let the emperor eat the problematic zongzi, the slave really deserves death!" ”

The emperor himself is sick, and he can't blame himself, but if the emperor has a problem with his diet, then he, the chief eunuch who waits for the emperor, will be derelict in his duties, and it will be difficult to escape the involvement.

In case the emperor has something that is long and short, can he still save his little life?

"Get up and speak." Concubine Li raised her hand, "The matter hasn't been figured out yet, don't panic yet." ”

"Xie Niangniang!" Xiao Quanzi stood up, cold sweat on her forehead.

Concubine Li Niangniang looked very calm, and she asked: "The emperor's diet, before the entrance, isn't it all by you, the chief eunuch, or you arrange for people to use silver needles to test poison and eat?" Didn't you notice anything wrong? Think about it! ”

Xiao Quanzi nodded, scratching his head with his right hand and thinking about it.

Before you know it, the sky is already bright......

Xiao Quanzi suddenly slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "I remembered, I remembered!" ”

Concubine Li urged: "Speak quickly!" ”

Xiao Quanzi said solemnly: "No matter what time and moment, the emperor's diet, the slaves have tried the poison with silver needles or arranged for people to try it, the only fish that slipped through the net is the zongzi that King Su gave to the emperor yesterday, which has not gone through the safety measures of the slaves, and the emperor has eaten it directly." ”

Xiao Quanzi didn't mean to accuse King Su, or suspect King Su, he was telling the truth, yesterday in front of so many people, the emperor personally opened the zongzi offered by King Su, and directly ate the zongzi meat with his own mouth.

Concubine Li's eyebrows twitched: "King Su? ”

Xiao Quanzi saw that Concubine Li's spearhead had been pointed at King Su, and suddenly became angry: "It must be King Su, the emperor must have become like this because he ate the zongzi offered by King Su, Niangniang, what should we do now?" ”

Concubine Li Niangniang immediately decided: "You immediately go and personally call Wan Gexiong, the chief of the palace guards, to the palace, the palace has its own arrangements, you tell him that King Su wants to murder the emperor and plot misdeeds, whether this matter is done by King Su or not, King Su should be the object of suspicion!" ”

"Yes, the minion is going!" Xiao Quanzi was ordered to retreat quickly.

With a calm mind for Concubine Li's mother, and her vigorous and resolute work, Xiao Quanzi is so impressed that she throws herself to the ground.

As soon as Xiao Quanzi left, Concubine Li smiled coldly, and said secretly in her heart: "This time, this palace wants you to stay up and down the palace without leaving chickens and dogs!" ”

Wait a moment......

Xiao Quanzi led Wan Gexiong, the chief of the palace guards, to the front of Concubine Li.

Wan Gexiong glanced at the emperor who was lying motionless on the dragon couch, and without saying a word, he immediately stepped forward and knelt down on one knee in front of Concubine Li: "Manager Xiao Quanzi has already told the slave the ins and outs of the matter, and the slave has come to listen to the instructions of Hou Niangniang!" ”

"Good!" Concubine Li nodded with great satisfaction, "You immediately dispatch the Ouchi guards to strictly block the palace gates, no one is allowed to enter or leave without the emperor's holy decree!" ”

Wan Gexiong immediately nodded and took the order: "Yes!" ”

"Assign more internal guards to the Qianqing Palace to guard, no matter who wants to enter the Qianqing Palace, if there is no emperor's decree or holy decree, they will all block the drive, the queen's mother, the prince and princess, the same!"

"Yes!"

"The wind is as tight as possible, the eldest princess is now living in a simple house, this palace is at ease, try not to let the queen mother, the prince and the third princess know, this palace doesn't want them to worry, and I don't want to see the chaos in the palace, and the emperor's life has not yet reached the point of hopelessness!"

"Yes!"

"Go ahead! Be fast! ”

"Yes, please rest assured!"

Wan Gechon took the order and left.

"Xiao Quanzi!" Concubine Li called Xiao Quanzi again.

"The minions are here!" Xiao Quanzi stepped forward in response.

Concubine Li Niangniang instructed Xiao Quanzi: "You immediately draw up a holy decree and send someone to summon King Su to come to the Qianqing Palace!" ”

Xiao Quanzi nodded: "The slave understands." ”

Concubine Li then ordered: "Send someone to the Tai Hospital again to call the father and daughter of the Zheng Hospital, go quickly!" ”

"Yes, the minion is going!" Xiao Quanzi answered, turned around and ran.

"Whew—" Concubine Li let out a long sigh, her face full of satisfaction and smug smiles.

Things are going very well!
