Qingdi shook his head and said, "Don't startle the snake first, when I discussed with the eldest brother, the eldest brother said that it's time to give it a try, how many people in the court are really dishonest." ”

A few people looked at each other, and it was clear. As a result, everyone pretended that nothing had happened, and in the days that followed, no one mentioned it at all, and there was no more haunting in the palace. Concubine Li went back and worried for several days, for fear that her pregnancy would be discovered by Yin Sheng and that shadow that night. As a result, she now finds that nothing has happened.

The busiest thing these days is nowhere to be seen. Because Qingdi and Feng Lingchen finally told him the final move, which is to let Qingdi pretend to be the imperial concubine and let Qingdi be the queen mother, so they need the face of an imperial concubine.

But after all, he is just a half-ass, tell him to do whatever he wants, it's okay not to give him a prescribed appearance, and he can't do it if he designates whoever has the cheek to do it for him. In the past few days, he has made no less than a hundred masks, and none of them resemble them.

Soon the month will be tomorrow, and that night few people in the palace will sleep peacefully.

Concubine Li tossed and turned, thinking that she would be able to ascend to the main hall tomorrow and become the queen mother, she was excited and uneasy. Yin Sheng hasn't brought anyone over to trouble her for so long, he must not know that she is pregnant. Concubine Li looked up at the phoenix robe she was going to wear tomorrow, this phoenix robe was sent by Yin Sheng, it seemed that she couldn't save the imperial concubine without a trace, and Yin Sheng didn't plan to repay the debt. This phoenix robe is extremely wide, full of pearls and emeralds, and the ministers are standing at the bottom, and no one should be able to see that she has a big belly. And she has been sending people to monitor the Jiaofang Palace, if the imperial concubine wakes up, she will come to inform her. As a result, there has been no movement over there at all, and it seems that it is impossible to wake up.

So let's sleep, everything is safe. Concubine Li kept saying such things to herself. When it dawns tomorrow, all the power and wealth will be hers, and she will become another woman in the history of the Li State who controls the government. When that time comes, the first thing she has to do is to go to the Southern Barbarian Kingdom to show off her might: Look, what kind of woman you sent to please the Emperor of Li is now mixed up.

Everyone in the Jiaofang Hall also couldn't sleep all night. Without a trace, he is still stepping up to catch up with people similar to the imperial concubine. Skin. The mask, I hope it can be made before dawn, so that the ministers can be deceived that the imperial concubine is awake, and Qingdi can replace Concubine Li and temporarily sit in the position of the queen mother. Although Feng Yanhui didn't know much about their strategy, she knew that there was a battle between Qingdi and Concubine Li, and she gambled with her life.

So of course he hoped that Qingdi would win, but she couldn't do anything now and could only wait.

Soon, it was dawn.

Yin Sheng came to the top of the hall and said to the ministers who were thinking differently, or worried or expecting, "Do you have anything to do today?" ”

It seems that Yin Sheng does not want to take the initiative to mention the January appointment, and it seems that the imperial concubine has not been awakened. At this time, a minister stood up and said: "Your Majesty, according to the precedent of our dynasty, the new emperor who ascended the throne at a young age must be assisted by the queen mother. And although the first emperor did not establish the queen, the matter of posthumously sealing the queen mother still needs to be done. Your Majesty, do you remember the agreement made a month ago? ”

Yin Sheng narrowed his eyes and looked at the minister who spoke in a low voice. He will keep in mind all the ministers who speak today.

Yin Sheng didn't speak, Feng Lingchen didn't speak, and there was silence in the court for a long time before Yin Sheng's people stood up and said: "It's not appropriate for Concubine Li to be the queen mother, and the imperial doctor didn't come to the court today, maybe he has a way to save the imperial concubine, but he still needs to wait for a while." If Concubine Li is made the queen mother now, then if the imperial concubine wakes up in the future, what should she do? She was already the imperial concubine, if nothing else, she would be the queen naturally, and now she is also the queen mother. ”

Another minister snorted coldly and said, "It's been so long, and the imperial concubine hasn't woken up, so it is estimated that there is no chance to wake up." How long will we have to wait? Do you know that the State of Wu has begun to move, and seeing that our new emperor has no one to assist him when he ascends the throne, he feels that no one is in charge of the State of Li, and he is ready to fight! ”

The ministers quarreled, Yin Sheng listened to them silently for a while, in fact, he could see that the majority of those who did not speak, and those who did not speak were just waiting to see his subordinates and Yin Jixuan's henchmen fight and lose both.

Feng Ling was familiar with the fire, his eyes swept over the important ministers who were constantly arguing, and then stepped forward to speak: "Your Majesty has made a promise, since you have promised, if there is no queen mother today, it must be inappropriate." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the court fell silent. When the ministers loyal to Yin Sheng heard him say this, they all thought that he must have had some idea. Now Feng Lingchen is the backbone of Yin Sheng's party, and if he doesn't listen to him, then there will be no one else to listen to.

Yin Jixuan's henchmen were also very happy to hear him say this, because they concluded that the imperial concubine would never wake up.

After hearing this, Yin Sheng had no choice but to nod and say, "Then please send out Concubine Li and listen to the government with me." ”

As soon as his words fell, the eunuch next to him shouted, and Concubine Li was invited to the court in front of her.

Although there was no mention in Yin Sheng's words just now that Concubine Li was the queen mother, she was now wearing a dark blue robe made of gold, embroidered with colorful phoenixes, interspersed with several peonies in the middle of the colorful phoenix, and the beads on her head were made of lapis lazuli, turquoise and gold.

Concubine Li didn't listen carefully to Yin Sheng's words just now, and when she came in, she opened her hands like a decent one and said, "Zhong Aiqing, from now on, this palace will deal with the government and politics with you, and jointly protect the country of Li." ”

The ministers were a little dumbfounded, they didn't expect that things would progress so fast, as soon as Concubine Li appeared, she didn't announce the decree, and she didn't go through various processes, she already became the queen mother.

But it looks like it's a foregone conclusion. Although Yin Sheng did not explicitly say that Concubine Li would be the queen mother, she was dressed like this, and Yin Sheng did not say no, so it proved that it was.

Just as some ministers were about to kneel down and salute, they suddenly heard a voice in the distance, saying, "Slow! ”

He walked in slowly from outside the main hall, all the ministers looked back at him, Concubine Li also looked at him, she was a little flustered in her heart now, I don't know why, she felt flustered when she saw no trace.

Disappeared to the front of the hall, saluted, and then said to Yin Sheng: "Your Majesty, Weichen has lived up to his trust, and finally woke up the imperial concubine!" ”

The ministers were dumbfounded, but Yin Sheng was very happy. He also hated the imperial concubine very much before, but he knew that this imperial concubine was definitely not the real imperial concubine, but Qingdi pretending. He hurriedly said: "Hurry up and invite the imperial concubine!" ”

Then the imperial concubine walked slowly over with a mask. Concubine Li stood on the right side of Yin Sheng, and the imperial concubine stood on the left side of Yin Sheng.

Yin Sheng laughed and said to the ministers: "Now that the imperial concubine has woken up, then she should be the queen mother." ”

Concubine Li was really panicked, pointed at Yin Sheng and said, "Your Majesty, your will has been declared, how can you go back on it?" Now this palace is the queen mother, even if when she was the concubine of the first emperor before, the palace was lower than this imperial concubine, but now, the palace is higher than her, and the palace has not made a mistake, why do you say that if you take the position of the queen mother of the palace, you will take the position of the queen mother of the palace? ”

Yin Sheng tilted his head, his big eyes were simple and innocent, and said: "Concubine Li, when did I not announce that I want you to be the queen mother, I don't believe you, ask you, which minister heard it?" ”

Concubine Li was completely stunned, Yin Sheng didn't announce that she was the queen mother just now? That......

Immediately, a minister shouted: "Concubine Li, you are not the queen mother, you dare to wear the queen mother's clothes, this is a great disrespect to the queen mother!" ”

"No!" Concubine Li thought that she had sent someone to investigate last night, and the imperial concubine showed no signs of coming to her senses at all, so how could she suddenly wake up now? Concubine Li stared at the imperial concubine over there with wide eyes, pointed at her and said, "This person is not the imperial concubine, otherwise what would she be doing with the veil?" She must have been pretended to be someone else! ”

Hearing her say this, Yin Sheng's heart sighed, indeed, several of them knew that the imperial concubine was pretending to be Qingdi, but now if the suspicion of the ministers is aroused, and it is seen that Qingdi is pretending, what should they do?

When the time comes, he can pretend that he doesn't know everything, and he can completely withdraw from it, and without a trace and Qingdi will turn over the crime of bullying the king, and will be executed, so that he will have two less trustworthy people.

Just when Yin Sheng didn't know what to do, the laughter without a trace penetrated the entire hall, and said: "The imperial concubine Niangniang has been lying on the bed for a long time, and she has just woken up, and her body is still a little uncomfortable, and she can't see the wind, so she has to wear a veil." You can also see that there is something wrong with the posture of the imperial concubine Niangniang's walking, and it is also for this reason. But if you say that the imperial concubine is pretending, if Your Majesty and the imperial concubine don't mind, you are not afraid that the following offenses will lose your life, you can get closer and check it. ”

How dare the ministers untie the veil of the imperial concubine, but Concubine Li dares. She rushed up with an arrow and unveiled the veil of the imperial concubine, but the face that appeared in front of her, who would it be if it wasn't the imperial concubine?

Concubine Li was stupid, but deep down she was still not sure, her hand touched the face of the imperial concubine to see if she had painted something or was wearing a mask, but it turned out that this was clearly the imperial concubine!

Concubine Li fell backwards in disbelief, and suddenly felt a tingling pain in her lower abdomen, and she almost fainted.

Seeing this, Yin Sheng hurriedly said, "Mother Li, what's wrong with you?" Brother without a trace, come over and show Concubine Li what is going on! ”

Shadow nodded without a trace, and stepped forward to check Concubine Li's pulse, Concubine Li still wanted to refuse, but the stinging pain in her lower abdomen had made her not even have the strength to refuse.

After a while, Shadow was surprised and said, "Concubine Li, it's tiregas." ”
