"If you're tired, go back and rest first, you're not needed here."

When these words fell, I saw Tao Jinyan pouting slightly towards Chu Nian, and unconvinced, he hugged his head and turned around and walked to Chu Nian's side, "What is this, my body is fine." ”

Ming Xiu's eyes flashed slightly as he watched the interaction between the two without saying a word.

After a while, I saw Imperial Doctor Ye, who had finished taking the pulse of the Queen Mother, hurried over towards Chu Nian and the others.

He stood still in front of the emperor and saluted slightly, and then said in a deep voice: "Now the queen mother's hysteria is sudden, and the old minister can't see what the situation is, but it looks like poisoning." ”

When these words fell, everyone's eyes looked at Concubine Liang, who was full of innocent faces, and Concubine Liang was at a loss for a moment, only then did she remember the reason why this group of people kept staring at herself, after all, the Queen Mother kept shouting that she had poisoned herself!

Concubine Liang suddenly felt that she had been wronged, she looked at the emperor with red eyes, "Your Majesty, you also know the recent sensitivity of the Queen Mother, the concubines don't even dare to appear in front of the Queen Mother, for fear that the Queen Mother will be annoyed by the concubines, how can she poison the Queen Mother!" ”

"Yes," Concubine Liang's personal palace maid interjected: "Emperor Mingjian, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Mingjian, now that our mother and the Queen Mother have no grievances, what good can it do to my mother if she harms the Queen Mother?" ”

Afraid that this little girl's brainless words would annoy the emperor and Ming Xiu, Concubine Liang hurriedly pulled the sleeve of the little girl, and the little girl stopped indignantly.

Seeing Chu Nian, he said in a shallow voice: "Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness the Prince, Concubine Liang Niangniang really didn't have the motive to poison the Queen Mother so hard, and besides, if it was really the poison of Concubine Liangniang, she knew that the Queen Mother would make trouble, and she shouldn't have appeared here." ”

Ming Xiu glanced at her, his eyes flashed slightly, and he was facing the emperor with an inquiring gaze.

He silently furrowed his brows, "Since Erchen has promised his father that he will at least give the imperial grandmother a pension, he will naturally not break his promise." ”

Hearing this, the emperor looked at Ming Xiu's not very good-looking face, and Fang Chang breathed a sigh of relief, "But now that your imperial grandmother has reached the point where no one cares about her, why is there anyone to deal with her?" Even at the expense of poisoning, causing her to fall into madness? ”

Ming Xiu pursed his thin lips, and then said softly: "Erchen doesn't know." ”

As he spoke, he raised his eyes and looked at the people in the room, "Which one is serving the Queen Mother's diet and living now?" ”

A woman stood up hesitantly, and then knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Mingjian." The old slave was conscientious, did not dare to snub the Queen Mother, but also for fear that something would happen to the Queen Mother, every time the Queen Mother moved the chopsticks, the old slave had to test the poison first, if something happened to the food, clothing, housing and transportation, it should be the old slave who went crazy first. ”

When these words fell, Ming Xiu's subconscious side eyes glanced at Chu Nian, and both of them saw a trace of doubt in each other's eyes.

Seeing Chu Nian step forward, he saluted the emperor slightly, and then said in a shallow voice: "I implore the emperor to allow the courtiers to check on the condition of the queen mother." ”

The emperor felt a headache, and now that he saw Chu Nian inviting himself, he had no choice but to nod his head.

Only then did he see Chu Nian take a few steps forward and carefully open the Queen Mother's eyelids.

Among them, the Queen Mother's eyes were still flexible, and when she looked at Chu Nian, her pupils suddenly dilated, as if she had seen a murderous enemy.

"Chu Nian! Chu Nian! "She's tied up, she can't show her teeth and claws,

He only stared at Chu Nian viciously, and his head was not restless, as if he was about to open his mouth and bite off a piece of meat on Chu Nian's body.

"Chu Nian, you little slut! Hurt me so much, I will definitely want you to die today! Chu Nian ......"

The Queen Mother was moving like this, if Chu Nian continued to hold the Queen Mother's eyelids, she was afraid that she would hurt her, so she had to let go of her hand and hide out a little, but the Queen Mother was still lying on the bed and glared at Chu Nian not far away, "Chu Nian, it's all you, it's all you!" You're going to ruin the cool country! I want you to die, I want you to die......"

It seems that it is impossible to find out whether the Queen Mother has been hit by illusion to go crazy to this point, Chu Nian shook his head helplessly, and then retreated to the side of the crown prince Ming Xiu and the emperor.

"I'm afraid the courtiers can't do anything, so they can only wait for the Queen Mother to calm down a little before making plans."

At this moment, the emperor looked at the queen mother who was struggling on the couch, with a little disappointment in his eyes, he nodded slightly towards Chu Nian, don't look over his head this way, and couldn't bear to look like it: "Let her make trouble first, and then talk about it when she has made enough trouble." ”

When these words fell, the emperor turned to leave, and Chu Nian, Ming Xiu and the others stood in place, watching the emperor's figure walk to the door.

Suddenly, the queen mother's crazy voice sounded behind him again, "Heh, Chu Nian, you didn't say that you designed to kill the queen, but now you want to kill the mourning family, don't you just want to make you the only one in this palace?" In the future, Ming Xiu ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, you will have no opponent, and you will be able to live a free life at that time! ”

The emperor's figure paused at the door for a moment, and Chu Nian and Ming Xiu's faces sank.

No matter how the queen mother slandered Chu Nian, the emperor would not believe it, only when it came to the queen's death.

The death of the queen was not experienced by the emperor at all, and now it has become a knot in the emperor's heart, and the old things have been brought up again by the queen mother, and it is such a crazy nonsense, but - who said that what the crazy people say is not the truth?

Seeing the emperor's slow turn of eyes, Ming Xiu and Chu Nian glanced at each other, both of them saw a look of worry in each other's eyes, but the emperor just glanced over the shoulders of the two of them, and gave a rough look at the queen mother on the couch, then sighed, walked up again and turned to leave.

Chu Nian breathed a sigh of relief, it was still difficult to collect evidence about the death of the queen back then, if the emperor suspected her now, although she still respected the gentle and wise queen mother in her heart, she didn't want to be wronged for such a plain reason.

What's more, this matter is still the hand of the Queen Mother.

This is convenient to see Ming Xiu twisting his brows and turning around, and the Queen Mother on the couch did not get a response, but she still didn't know how to restrain herself.

Ming Xiu glanced sideways at the mother-in-law on the side, and the mother-in-law immediately stepped forward to cover the queen mother's mouth, and the surroundings fell into silence, and the farce ended in a sloppy end.

Imperial Physician Ye took the lead in greeting him, he bowed slightly towards Chu Nian and Ming Xiu, and said in a shallow voice: "It's not necessarily an illusion, if the county lord can't see it, don't be anxious, and later, the old minister will call the people from the Tai Hospital to come over to discuss the condition of the Queen Mother, and the three stinkers will always be able to discuss a solution." ”

Regarding the idea that Imperial Physician Ye wanted to help them share their worries, Chu Nian nodded gratefully, and then saw Ming Xiu and said in a deep voice: "Then it will be hard for Imperial Physician Ye." ”

Imperial Physician Ye bowed slightly towards the two of them, and then turned to leave.

Seeing that Concubine Liang also came up, in the end, it was easy for women to talk to each other, Concubine Liang raised her eyes and looked at Ming Xiu, who was gloomy on Chu Nian's side,

I wanted to speak again and again, until Chu Nian nodded with a smile and said, "If Concubine Liang has any doubts, just say it." ”

Concubine Liang breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, now the Queen Mother's matter is said to be because of a meal at noon, but I don't think that's true, after all, the Queen Mother has pretended to be crazy and stupid more than once, and His Royal Highness and the county lord don't have to worry so much, maybe ignore the Queen Mother, after a while, the Queen Mother herself will be fine." ”

Concubine Liang is not unreasonable, the current queen mother is like a child who can't get what she wants, so she uses madness to attract attention, although this technique is a little low-level, but for the emperor, this trick definitely works.

Today, no matter whether the emperor believes the words of the Queen Mother or not, I am afraid that the seeds of doubt have long been planted in his heart.

This is convenient to see Ming Xiu nodded slightly towards Concubine Liang, "Niangniang's mind, I already know, and thank Concubine Liang for being so troublesome." ”

Concubine Liang politely saluted towards Ming Xiu, and this party raised her eyes to look at Chu Nian, and she wanted to speak for a while.

Chu Nian looked at her with a slight flicker of eyes, and looked sideways at Ming Xiu beside him, "His Royal Highness the Prince, will the courtiers leave for a while?" ”

Ming Xiu nodded with a headache, "You can go, anyway, now Master Fu and Jin Yan are also there." ”

Obviously, it involves a big matter, and Ming Xiu doesn't want to lose his temper with Chun Ai anymore, seeing that Ming Xiu has improved, Chu Nian smiled slightly, and then turned his eyes to look at Concubine Liang, "Niangniang, you and I will go to the garden to breathe together?" Before we came, we asked Concubine Liang to stabilize the Queen Mother, and I am afraid that we have suffered a lot of crimes. ”

As she spoke, her gaze fell on Concubine Liang's torn sleeve that exposed half of her arm.

Concubine Liang was a little uncomfortable covering her embarrassment, so she nodded, "Okay, then please ask Your Excellency the county lord to move to the dormitory of the main palace, and it is just right to change the clothes of the main palace." ”

Chu Nian nodded, and the two women, one big and one small, went hand in hand.

Waiting for the figures of the two to disappear at the door, Ming Xiu looked to the side and witnessed the whole farce but was always silent.

"What does the master think?"

Quietly twisting the Buddha beads in his hand, he spoke lightly for a while, "I'm afraid this is not the biggest thing that will happen today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should be mentally prepared." ”

Tao Jinyan on the side was sitting down to rest, and when he saw this, he immediately frowned and looked at Ming Xiu, "The crisis in your palace, apart from this queen mother who explodes at any time, what else is there?" ”

Ming Xiu pursed his thin lips, "Now, there are only ...... left"

……

Chu Nian followed Concubine Liang all the way to Concubine Liang's bedroom, and when she saw Concubine Liang change her clothes and come out, she pulled Chu Nian's arm affectionately, "County Lord, today I asked the County Lord to run with me like this, in fact, it was for ......"

Chu Nian's eyes flashed slightly, "For Concubine Ling's mother?" ”

Concubine Liang nodded helplessly, "A few days ago, Sister Concubine Ling suddenly fell ill, she was very sick, and Imperial Doctor Ye couldn't see what was going on, and now she only relies on some supplements to adjust her life, and she is a good person, but now her time is running out......

Saying that, Concubine Liang lowered her head a little sadly, "Knowing that this is a critical moment, Sister Ling refused to trouble the county lord, so she ordered everyone to keep it secret. ”

Chu Nian frowned slightly, Concubine Ling had concealed this matter tightly, and now it seemed that even Ming Xiu didn't know about it, otherwise she would have told her a long time ago.
