Even if he twisted Cao Qinchuan's head, he didn't dare to follow the emperor's words. is obviously powerless, and his trembling body has long been unable to resist the awe-inspiring majesty from the emperor. "The minister doesn't dare, the minister doesn't dare to have such a thought. The minister is confused, and the minister is confused. ”

Hongli saw that he was really afraid, and couldn't help but smile deeply: "When you are the first emperor, you are the old man who served the first emperor." If you don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, I won't force you to be like a Jedi. The same is true for you, you have to know what to say and what to do. trembling like this, I can't bear my hard words, in the end. ”

Since ancient times, most of the so-called loyal ministers who knew the emperor's secrets had ended up unloading the mill and killing the donkey. That's it, I hope that the emperor can be gracious and execute himself alone, and it is the best ending not to involve his family. Cao Qinchuan still didn't dare to raise his head, the beads of sweat on his forehead, one after another, fell one after another, and smashed on the cold green brick ground, making a muffled light sound.

"Can Cao Xuyan know about this? What about Sun Yonglai? Hongli's face was gloomy and bluffing, and his clear voice seemed to float from a far away, very empty.

But such an ethereal sound smashed heavily on Cao Qinchuan's body like a boulder, piece by piece, as if it was going to smash his muscles and bones, and bury him alive under the rocks. "Cao Xuyan was ordered by the queen to serve the dragon fetus of Concubine Yi's mother, and he was already too busy to take care of himself. Inevitably, the minister's illness was too good for the imperial physician who served the pregnant concubine, and the minister had not spoken to him for several days. He had no idea about it from beginning to end. ”

Still not daring to look at the emperor's face, Cao Qinchuan paused and said: "Sun Yonglai and his ministers serve the queen mother by the side, but it is strange to say that the queen mother never allows him to ask for a pulse, nor does he drink the medicine that passes through his hands." It seems to be on guard. So much so that he has the name of serving the Queen Mother, but he has never done a practical thing, and he must not know what it is. ”

Hongli pinched the bridge of his nose, as if he was a little distressed: "Do you really not know, or is Cao Yuan judging you to be careless and only aware of it?" ”

"The minister doesn't dare to be careless, the minister ......" Cao Qinchuan originally wanted to say that everything was done carefully in accordance with the emperor's instructions. But how dare he declare such words, he can only say what he should say: "The minister will do his best, and there will be no omissions, I hope the emperor will see it." ”

"You know me." Hongli's tone became more and more softening: "I don't like to deceive and untruth. Today, I believe you, and no one knows about this except you and me. If something goes wrong, the consequences are ...... I don't need to tell you clearly. ”

Cao Qinchuan kowtowed heavily, and said again and again: "The minister understands, please rest assured that the emperor understands what to do." ”

"Let's go out, I want to accompany the Queen Mother." Hongli was already impatient to talk to Cao Qinchuan like this. Obviously facing an old and cunning fox, but he can't pinch him to death in the palm of his hand all at once, and the feeling of boredom and greasy can be imagined. Cao Xuyan withdrew, and Hongli's handsome face gradually appeared with an incomprehensible smile.

"Since the emperor has woken up a long time ago, why don't you talk to me. It's true that you can recuperate your energy by pretending to sleep, but you also missed a good time to talk to your son. How quiet it is here, Huang Eniang, listen, in the gilded incense burner, you can hear the sound of incense powder burning. How can you not hear each other's hearts? Hongli bowed slightly, let his face be tightly pressed in front of the queen mother's face, and smiled movingly.

Sure enough, not long after the words fell, the Queen Mother frowned and opened her eyes. The narrow phoenix eyes were full of the emperor's shadow, and this look aroused the anger of the queen mother: "The mourning family has worked hard and raised you for thirty-two or three years, is this how you repay the mourning family?" As soon as she opened her mouth, the Queen Mother realized that she couldn't do it, and she was really angry.

Fortunately, the emperor was close, and he heard these words clearly word for word, and his smile became a little more gloomy. "If it weren't for the Queen Mother's painstaking upbringing, I might not have become the monarch of the Qing Dynasty. But if I want to choose, I would rather be with my in-law than with a femme fatale like you since I was a child. Every day, every day, until I ascend the throne as emperor, I still can't get rid of your control. The emperor's mother is really calculating, and the five bodies that I admire are thrown to the ground. ”

The Queen Mother never thought that she would have such a day, she always thought that the emperor believed her words. Otherwise, how could he be willing to come to Cining Palace every day to dine with her, otherwise, how could he be willing to serve by the bedside so wholeheartedly. Wouldn't he feel disgusting when he pretended to be intimate with someone he hated all day long?

"The emperor and the queen have been husband and wife for many years, husband and wife are of the same heart, and they actually thought of this wonderful good method." The queen mother's body has always been tough, and the pain in the past was just a rhetoric to hide people's ears. But this time it was different, even she didn't realize that when she was sick, her body was not her own. "I was careful in every way, and I refused to drink a mouthful of decoction, how did the emperor send the poison into the mouth of the mourning family?"

Hongli smiled strangely, his eyes beaming with hostility: "What did the emperor say, how could I use poison on you." It's just that some things can be eaten, and some things can't. I accompany the emperor to eat every day, so I naturally serve the emperor's diet carefully. ”

"In the meal?" The Queen Mother was surprised: "The emperor also used it, how can it be okay?" ”

This time, Hongli did not directly answer the Queen Mother's words, but smiled coldly.

The Queen Mother was so hateful, and her eyes were even more permeated with the coldness that others couldn't touch: "What are you laughing at?" ”

"My son just thinks about it again, Huang Eniang, you have planned all your life, from the palace to the deep palace, what have you calculated? The power position, wealth and floating clouds, or the sincerity of the first emperor, or the filial piety of the son. I'm afraid, I'm afraid, in the end, everything will become a flash. Hongli said unceremoniously: "You have been fighting all your life and calculating all your life, can't you think of any way to ensure that I am safe, but can make you weaker and weaker?" ”

The Queen Mother looked vain, and said awe-inspiringly: "Xu you really don't use poison, what you use is just ordinary herbal medicine, a single one is harmless to the body, mixed together, but it is enough to kill." The emperor's dragon body is important, so naturally he will not risk himself, but if you don't want to mourn your family and live, you really don't have to spend so much time. Twisting the neck of the mourning family is just a matter of your words, what's the difficulty. The world has become yours, what can the mourning family plan for you? ”

Hongli stretched out his hand and gently helped the Queen Mother up: "The emperor is sitting and talking to me, you lie like this, I seem to be talking to the same corpse again, it's uncomfortable." ”

The Queen Mother didn't shrug her shoulders and let the emperor help her up. In fact, her body seemed to have stepped down all at once, and she didn't even have the strength to get up. "What will the emperor feel uncomfortable about, isn't all this the result you want to see? Now that you have got your wish, the people of Li all over the world will know that the mourning family is dying, and who will know that the mourning family raised such a good son and took the life of the mourning family with his own hands. You...... In this way, aren't you afraid of going down to Jiuquan and facing the ancestors and ancestors and the first emperor without face? What happened back then, if the first emperor didn't know, how could the mourning family raise you under his knees. Have you ever wondered? ”

Hongli was really caught by these words, and his eyebrows turned into a mess. Could it be that even the first emperor has a part in scheming his own relatives? So how humble is Eniang's background, or is it ...... Or is there something else going on here? Snorted coldly, Hongli deliberately did not be fooled: "The Queen Mother prides herself on being wise and ruthless, but she can't calculate the queen's phoenix position." I thought I was meticulous, but I didn't know that I already knew that you were not my mother-in-law. Now, the Queen Mother's donkey skills are exhausted, so she has to move out of the first emperor to suppress me? ”

"It's Mazie!" The Queen Mother suddenly realized: "Only the Fucha people know about the events of the year, and it must be Ma Qi who told you this clue." "I hated it so much, Ma Qi was really scheming, I was afraid that I would be detrimental to his descendants, so I didn't tell the queen about such an important matter, but went straight to the emperor.

In this way, the queen was safe and sound, but the emperor was full of hatred. 
Hongli didn't want to say it, but he had to say: "Huang Eniang is right, Ma Qi is indeed an insider." But don't forget, the emperor, listen to all directions, see the six roads, and don't rely on one side of the word in everything. After all these years of ups and downs, how much fog there is, do you really think that a jade plaque can convince me? ”

The Queen Mother sighed coldly on her back, tears slowly flowing down her cold and yellow cheeks: "It's the mourning family who underestimated you, Your Majesty, you have really grown up, and the emperor's calculation is nothing in your eyes." ”

"The most wrong thing for me is to believe your instigation and turn against the queen. caused the queen to be disheartened, and when Yonglian needed it most, she was cold, and regretted her life. Hongli gritted his teeth: "Huang Eniang, aren't you good to be my Huang Eniang?" Why can't you take care of your old age, and have to give birth to so many idle things? I had to take this step. ”

"Let the emperor be the monarch of the Qing Dynasty for a few years, and then abdicate and hand over the authority in his hands, is the emperor willing?" The Queen Mother smiled and asked weakly.

"Isn't it true that I haven't been dedicated enough to the Queen Mother all these years?" Hongli asked rhetorically: "Is it more important than the power in your hands?" Is it more important than the harmony of the harem? Huang Eniang, you are a half-buried person, what do you want those rights for? Change back to youth, change back to Kangtai's body? Or, can you get back the heart of the first emperor and re-canonize you as the queen? ”

The Queen Mother smiled faintly, there was no hatred in her eyes, only sarcasm: "What the emperor said is really good, isn't the emperor afraid that he will be wrong again and again?" ”
