Rezhen is caught in a dilemma. If she said that she came to wake up the queen mother, that is, she clearly told the emperor that the queen mother would use such a bitter trick to frame the queen in order to seize power. But if you don't say it, in this situation, if the queen blames her for everything, she will not only be speechless, but also lose the best opportunity to save the queen mother.

When the time comes, if the Queen Mother really has any mistakes, she will inevitably become a prisoner and be killed by the queen.

No matter what the ending is, I'm afraid she won't be able to become a woman by the emperor's side.

Thinking about it like this, her heart was beating extremely fast, and there were beads of sweat on her forehead.

Cen Mooning saw through Lei Zhen's mind earlier than anyone else, and naturally understood what she was thinking at this time. "Hongu knows, what are you thinking. It's like you know what Hongu suspects. Lei Zhen, you are the person who has been serving the queen mother, and now the queen mother can be said to be in deep danger, whether you want to save the life of the queen mother, or something else, you should weigh which is more important. ”

The queen's words were undoubtedly a stone on Lei Zhen's body. If she keeps silent, the Queen Mother will really have something wrong, and the Queen Mother will definitely tell the "truth" she believes, and it will be difficult for her to explain it when the time comes.

Maybe the emperor will also accuse her of not being the queen mother in order to protect the reputation of the queen mother, and push her out to stand up.

"Rei." Zhuang Chenchen suddenly spoke, and his voice was cool and cold. "Did you hear the Queen's words?"

"The slave and maid heard me." Lei Zhen fell to the ground, and although it was impossible to see her expression, her trembling shoulders betrayed her. "The slave deserves to die, the slave is hiding something that should not be hidden. Slaves...... There is no way for a slave to be like this......"

Zhuang Chenchen didn't make a sound, but just glanced at Lei Zhen lightly.

Cen Muning took the tea cup from Bingling's hand and took a sip slowly.

"In fact, the reason why the Queen Mother was poisoned was...... Help. Lei Zhen said with tears in her eyes: "The slave maid also advised the Queen Mother, don't do anything that damages the phoenix body." It's just that the slave and maid are soft-spoken, and the Queen Mother doesn't pay attention to it. The slave came over late at night last night to use the antidote to wake up the Queen Mother. After all, the longer the poison remains in the body, the worse it will be for the Queen Mother's body. Unexpectedly, when the slave was about to detoxify the Queen Mother, she was knocked unconscious. I couldn't find an antidote. Your Majesty, the slave doesn't dare to deceive you, what she says is the truth. The slave maid really didn't do anything to be sorry for the Queen Mother, let alone participated in the murder of the Queen Mother. The assassin's matter is by no means the queen mother's intentions, let alone the slave's bad intentions. The queen mother is the master of the slave and the benefactor of the slave and the slave, and the slave and the maid will never dare to have two hearts. ”

She looked at the emperor with anxiety, and her heart was about to jump out of her chest.

"The Queen Mother is already the most prominent and noble person in this dynasty." Cen Mu looked at Lei Zhen puzzled: "Use the bitter meat trick to kill yourself?" What do you want? ”

Lei Zhen thought to herself, didn't the queen ask knowingly! But Huang Sang was angry, but she still couldn't resist it. "The Queen Mother naturally has the plans of the Queen Mother, and the slaves and maids are humble, how can they understand. Just do what the Queen Mother instructs. ”

"That's right." Cen Mu nodded slightly: "So how did the Queen Mother poison herself, and she didn't let anyone find any clues afterwards?" ”

"The Queen Mother used a colorless and odorless poison to smear the tip of the needle and pierce it into the skin. Because the location chosen is relatively hidden, it is difficult for people to notice. Lei Zhen frowned and said, "Afterwards, the slave scrubbed the needle with rice paper and buried it in a flower pot. The poisoned rice paper was also put into the incense burner and burned to ashes, and the queen mother naturally found no traces. ”

"It's good to figure things out." Cen Muning didn't want to delve into it, after all, the Queen Mother's thoughts, Zhuang Xianchen must also understand. "The most important thing right now is to find the antidote as soon as possible. Although the imperial doctor kept saying that the poison could be dissolved. But the concubine looked at it, the queen mother still showed no signs of waking up, and Lei Zhen also said that the longer the delay, the worse it is......"

"But is there an antidote?" Zhuang Chenchen asked with a cold face.

"Yes, yes, but these things have always been collected by the Queen Mother herself. The slave and maid did not know where to put it. I'm afraid I'll have to look for it. Lei Zhen kowtowed to the emperor: "The slave and maid are willing to atone for their sins, carefully find out the antidote, serve the queen mother well, and ask the emperor to spare the slave and maid's life, and give the slave and maid a chance to atone for their sins." ”

"Let's go find it." Zhuang Chen's face was a little unpleasant. His mother killed his queen like this, if it spreads, he will definitely be poked in the back by those officials. before he ascended the throne, the slightest wind blew out, and some people would compare him with the abolished emperor. Once upon a time when he was King Ruiming, he could have completely ignored these words, but now, it is different.

"Your Majesty, I won't tell you that the matter of the Queen Mother's poisoning was confirmed, and the concubines asked the inner guards, guards and imperial doctors to search the entire Fengling Palace. But none of these things were found. Otherwise, the concubine can wake up the Queen Mother early in the morning......" Cen Muning showed a worried look, in fact, she wanted to know how many secrets the Queen Mother still had. And where the poisons and antidotes are stored, will there be something else that is also hidden?

Can you take this opportunity to find clues related to your mother's affairs? Cen Muning thought so, and her heart was slightly suffocated: "Lei Zhen, think about it, where else can the antidote be stored in the Fengling Palace." The queen mother's phoenix body is important, and it cannot be delayed any longer. ”

Lei Zhen knew that the queen's motives were not pure, but she could only nod. "Slave and maid, go and find it."

"Queen Mother, the slave and maid help to find it together, it may be faster to have more eyes." Bingling volunteered to step forward and salute Cen Muning. "Okay, without further ado." Cen Muning looked at Zhuang Chen's unhappy appearance, and sighed lightly: "The emperor doesn't have to worry about the affairs of the Queen Mother, the most important thing at the moment is to find out the person who assassinated the Queen Mother." Did the concubine think that Yu Linwei would continue to track him in the palace? ”

Speaking of this, Cen Muling got up and bypassed the screen and walked to the Queen Mother's bedside.

On the sickbed, the unconscious Queen Mother looked extremely haggard, and her face became very dull due to poisoning, as if she would never wake up.

"Your Majesty, the concubines should stay here and serve the Queen Mother well."

"No." Zhuang Chenchen walked over with a frown and put his hand on her shoulder: "The queen mother treats you like this, if I still let you stay and serve, wouldn't it be wronged you." Wait a minute, let Yin Li call the haunting Xinwei to serve. ”

"The Ghost Lingers?" Cen Muning was so amused by him that she wanted to laugh, but she couldn't help it. "That's the person who the queen mother has worked hard to train, and she wants to be thoughtful and meticulous. Even if the emperor doesn't like her, he shouldn't make fun of her like this. ”

"The queen mother has exhausted all these years." Zhuang Chenchen gasped and said quietly: "Internally, we want to abolish the emperor's mother and son, and externally, we want people to keep an eye on the Ruiming Palace, we must continue to send carefully cultivated women in, and let the people of the mother clan have the opportunity to contribute to the imperial court...... Now, even if she is already the most prominent and noble queen mother, as you said, she still refuses to let you govern the harem and wants to share power from you. ”

"The emperor must not blame the queen mother for this." Cen Mu lowered her eyes and said movingly: "As a mother, everything you do is to think about your child first. The Queen Mother must be the same. ”

"Your so-called mother is from an ordinary family. But my mother is not only a mother, but also the queen mother of the world. She is the mother of thousands of Li people. To sit firmly in this position, it may be difficult to sit firmly just thinking about your own children. Zhuang Chenchen pinched the tip of Cen Muning's nose: "The matter of the replacement of the guards you said, the harem will be handed over to you to take care of." Whatever you need, I will let Yin Li do it for you. My harem does not seek to live in harmony and be like sisters, but to seek stability on the surface. If anyone has a vicious mind, the queen can only go to the queen's phoenix power. You can kill and decide, but you don't want a woman's kindness. Do you understand? ”

"Understood." Cen Mooning smiled slightly: "In short, useless people can die, but they can't affect others." ”

"Good." Zhuang Chenchen gently hugged her into his arms: "I like you to share my worries." This is true in the palace, and it is also true in the harem. ”

This is a very high compliment for her, right?

Cen Mu Ning closed her eyes and kissed him lightly on the cheek: "The concubine remembers the emperor's teachings. ”

As he said, between them, it is good to maintain this apparent stability. Once he knew her sincerity, everything would change.

"Your Majesty, I just sent a rush into the palace outside, and the ministers are also waiting in the imperial study." When Yin Li came in, he saw a pair of beautiful people hugging each other, and he lowered his head unnaturally and didn't dare to look more.

"I'm going to get busy with politics first." Zhuang Chenchen let go of the queen: "You are also tired, go back to the palace to rest earlier." Tomorrow morning, I will be exempted from the harem's invitation, I can't even call my name, and I will bother you all day long. It's better to get a little more sleep. ”

"Yes." Cen Mu stared at him and sent him away, before turning to the inner chamberlain Ming Qing and said, "You instruct someone to help Lei Zhen find the antidote together." Always as soon as possible. ”

"Yes, sissy." Qingming is also a slave selected by Zhuang Chen, so he will naturally be loyal to him.

Cen Muning's side, the only person who can tell his heart is probably Bingling. But Bingling ......

Until she returned to Fengling Palace, she failed to find the antidote collected by the Queen Mother. I don't know if the Queen Mother is smart but she was mistaken by being smart, and she made herself miserable.

After the imperial doctor asked for the pulse again, it became clear that the Empress Dowager might be in a coma for a long time until the poison in her body was gradually cleared. In this process, the Queen Mother will be left with the root of the disease because of a coma. For example, if the body does not obey the call, or the mind is not clear, in short, it is a very serious consequence.

Cen Muning deliberately left Qingli in Fengluan Hall to arrange the replacement of the guards.

And she returned to the Fengling Hall with Bingling, and at that time, it was almost dawn.

Closing the door, Bingling said worriedly, "Miss stayed up all night, let's go to bed early." Fortunately, the emperor is considerate and exempts you from the etiquette of greetings, and you can sleep a little longer. ”

"Ice Cream." Cen Mooning motioned for her to come over and held her hand. It was a pair of hands that looked soft, but were a little hard to the touch. "I originally thought that your hands would be proficient in making tea and cooking, and that you would be good at serving flowers and plants, but it turned out that there was a use that I never knew."

"Miss has won the prize." Bingling said with a smile: "The slave maid used to follow the lady, and the lady's training, the slave and the maid naturally have to work hard to learn." ”

"So your ability to kill people was also taught by your mother?" Cen Muning's face suddenly turned cold: "Your guts, you were also trained by your mother?" Even the Queen Mother was almost lost in your hands! ”
