Chapter 90: The Faint King

"The queen is not saved, why are your eyes red?" Concubine Zhen looked at the mist in Cen Muning's eyes, and couldn't help frowning. "Do you feel sorry for the queen, or are you moved by the emperor's true feelings?"

Cen Muning looked at the sadness in her eyes with a smile: "Women all over the world are eager for such true love, and concubines are not exempt from vulgarity." ”

"Hmph." Concubine Zhen sneered with a smile: "What kind of true feelings, it's just that the ambition that can't be asked for has not been appeased." If he and the queen have always been smooth sailing, will they be so deeply rooted? In the end, you don't understand the mind of a man. For men, power and status are the most important, and women are just a piece of clothing that can be changed at any time, a tool to spread the leaves. ”

"The concubine doesn't think so." Cen Muning's implication is that Concubine Zhen feels that she is a tool or a dress? But when the words come to their lips, they become very good. "The concubine body once heard that the first emperor treated your mother very well."

"Okay?" Concubine Zhen smiled: "It's also based on the fact that the mourning family gave birth to two princes and two princesses to the first emperor." It's a pity that the mourning family is poor, and a son and a daughter died before they became adults. Now that Si Yuan is also married, there is only Yan Chen to rely on by the mourning family. It is precisely because of this that the mourning family must train you well. I hope you will become a virtuous helper instead of a burden. ”

"Yes." After Cen Muning responded against her will, she saw that Concubine Zhen still got up and walked out of the wing.

The minions in the courtyard were extremely surprised to see Concubine Zhen appear here. I really can't tell when Concubine Zhen entered the Fengling Palace, how could it be quiet, it didn't alarm anyone.

Of course, they didn't dare to make a noise, after all, the queen was about to run out of breath. And the emperor's throne is also crumbling, in this deep palace, I don't know who will be in charge in the future, how dare to easily offend people who can't be offended.

"Someone." Concubine Zhen rolled her eyes slightly: "Lead the way for the mourning family." The mourning family will go to the inner room to wait for the return of the emperor and queen. ”

"Yes." The inner chamberlain stepped forward quickly and led the way for Concubine Zhen and Princess Ruiming.

Cen Muning looked at Concubine Zhen who was walking in front, with a look of disdain, and her eyebrows were furrowed. She really regards herself as the master of the harem, and even these minions have seen the clues, and they all look respectful, which is really different from before.

Soon, Zhuang Yuzhou hugged the queen and returned in a hurry.

His head was covered with cold sweat, not running out, but scared out. Seeing that the queen was getting worse and worse, his heart trembled. "How can Concubine Zhen be in the Fengling Palace? It's easy to find. ”

"Knowing that the queen is not good, the mourning family brought Princess Ruiming over to deliver the antidote." Concubine Zhen frowned slightly: "Mu Ning, you just read the emperor's infatuation with the queen, and hand over the antidote." The queen of the province died of incense, and the emperor was in pain. ”

What's going on? Cen Muning has no antidote on her body at all, how to hand it over.

Just when she was suspicious, Qingli presented a delicate brocade box.

Cen Muning suddenly realized, it turned out that the Queen Mother had prepared these early in the morning and handed them to Qingli. I just didn't say it to her.

"The antidote is here." Cen Mu Ning looked at Zhuang Xianzhou's face, frowned and said, "It's just that if the emperor wants an antidote, he must show some sincerity in exchange." ”

"You woman, you're a madman!" Zhuang Zhizhou hated so much that the root of his teeth itched: "You sacrifice innocent people for your hatred." My prince, my queen, how did they offend you? You still think about power, is your heart beaten with iron? ”

"Your Majesty, the concubines don't want an antidote." Because of the poison attack, the queen's face was dark and she looked in pain. "Please fulfill the concubine, go to the Golden Palace, and watch what belongs to you."

"Cen Muning, what do you want?" Zhuang Zhizhou asked through gritted teeth.

"Yes, of course...... The jade seal of the country. Cen Muning also admired herself, at this time, she could still say these words calmly. There is no human affection at all.

Concubine Zhen was slightly vain, and her eyes revealed a little joy. "Your Majesty, there is only so much that the mourning family promised you. Whether you want the country or save the queen's life, you can do it yourself. ”

"I have long known that the concubine will not care about her relationship with me, and will only favor her son. But I always remembered the lessons of my mother when I was a child, and I was full of injuries, and the concubine gently drugged me. Zhuang Zhizhou said scornfully: "Actually, what the queen mother said is right, in the face of power, there are only interests, only the interests in your own hands, so you will not deceive people." It's a pity that I am not as good as Lao Jiu after all. can be trained by the concubine so ruthlessly. ”

"Your Majesty, you go quickly, if it is any longer, those courtiers who support you will be eradicated by King Ruiming one by one......" The queen was angry, and every word she said was painful. Please...... Concubines can die, but they can't cause trouble to the emperor. Please...... Don't let your concubines die without turning a blind eye. ”

"I can't leave you at this time." Zhuang Zhou's eyes were red: "If you are no more, what else do I want to do with this country?" Huang Jing! ”

"No......" The queen grabbed his hand painfully: "Don't ...... the emperor"

"Go and invite my heirloom jade seal." Zhuang Zhizhou frowned and said, "I hope that Princess Ruiming will be true to her word." ”

"Inevitably." Cen Mooning agreed very weakly. The antidote was prepared by the Queen Mother at all. Whether it's true or not, she doesn't have half a point in her heart. And she didn't know what Zhuang Chenchen would do with the pair of outlaw mandarin ducks in the end. Thinking about it carefully, she was so frightened that she didn't want to think about it.

But if the mother's enemy is really Concubine Zhen, if she wants to take her life, she must gain the trust of Zhuang Chen.

Thinking of this, she suppressed the waves in her heart, and said with a cold face: "Then bother Huang Jing's father-in-law." Qingli, you go with you. ”

The empress lay in the crook of the emperor's arm, weeping bitterly. The tears were like a string of icy beads, running down her face and falling silently on the hem of his clothes. "The emperor will definitely regret doing this."

"Nope." Zhuang Zhizhou said resolutely: "I will not regret it, never." Xuanyue, you hold on, you hold on. ”

He raised his head and glared at Cen Muning angrily with a pair of eyes: "Huang Jing will definitely hand over the jade seal to your people, I am here and will not leave." Can you give the antidote to the queen first? ”

He tried his best to suppress his hatred, and asked in an almost begging tone, "Can you?" ”

Cen Muning felt uncomfortable in her heart, and turned her face to look at Concubine Zhen.

"Give it to her." Concubine Zhen sighed: "It's easy to ask for priceless treasures, and it's rare to have a lover." The emperor felt so sorry for the queen, which really moved the mourning family. ”

Cen Mooning handed the antidote into his hands without saying a word.

Zhuang Zhizhou opened the brocade box and took out a small medicine jar, which contained several black pills.

"Xuanyue, don't be afraid, after taking the medicine, you will be fine." Zhuang Zhizhou furrowed his brows and slowly sent the antidote to the queen's lips. "Don't worry, I won't let you have anything to do."

At the same time, Zhuang Xianchen was also busy on the Golden Palace.

"The monarch you obey is unbridled, murderous and cruel, abandons the government, persecuts the loyal and good, and there is no place in your body that is the benevolence and generosity of the king. Even General Chu, who had repeatedly made military exploits, was imprisoned in the palace by him, and he did not look at the old prince Chu who had repeatedly performed miraculous feats for the first emperor back then. That's it, now you, the so-called important ministers, are risking your life to speak for him in this golden palace, wanting to preserve his throne, but what about him? He didn't even show his face. Whether you want to come to your mansion or private residence, they are all secretly monitored by his Yu Linwei. The slightest hint that he didn't want to see was the fate of being locked in a prison. Is this not the king whom you keep shouting long live? ”

"King Ruiming, how good can your own reputation be? You went to the temple with a sword like this, and there were so many fierce dead soldiers behind you, didn't you want to usurp the throne? Hu Zhibin shouted at him sonorously.

"That's a good point." Zhuang Chenchen raised his eyebrows coldly: "This king has always done whatever he wants, but he has also made great achievements for the imperial court. But in your eyes, from beginning to end, this king is a soldier who threatens the imperial power. Is it because your king is incompetent, or do you already feel that this king is simply capable of replacing him, so that the position of this faint king is in jeopardy? ”

"His Royal Highness King Qi Ruiming." Yin Li walked into the inner hall quickly, and his tone was very serious: "I just got the news, the emperor is accompanying the queen in the Fengling Hall at this time, I'm afraid I can't come over to discuss politics." ”

"How can this be...... Someone came to invite the emperor. Hu Zhibin's face was angry: "Go and invite the emperor." ”

Before his words fell, he saw Huang Jing hurriedly passing in front of the Golden Palace. It was like stepping on a wheel under your feet. "Huang Jing, it's Huang Jing, stop him, stop him......"

The guards outside hurriedly stopped when they heard the sound.

Huang Jing said angrily: "The slave wants to send the jade seal of the country to save the life of the queen's mother, who dares to stop it so boldly?" Don't you want a head? If something happens to the queen, who can afford it? ”

After saying this, he quickly ran down the jade steps.

"Use the jade seal of the country to save the life of the queen's mother......" Hu Zhibin heard this, his eyes darkened, and he fell to the ground with a bang.

"It's over, it's over, God doesn't have mercy......"

"Your Majesty, you are so confused! Master Hu, what do you say we still insist on? What else to insist on? ”

The jade seal of the country has become the last straw that overwhelms these old courtiers who still support Zhuang Zhenzhou. Above the golden hall, there were no more sonorous arguments, no more arrogant roars, only low cries, and hysterical shouts.

"Your Majesty, you are so confused! How can you be worthy of the emperor, how can you be worthy of yourself......"

Zhuang Yanchen frowned slightly, and the killing intent that had been brewing for a long time in his calm eyes was slowly released at this time. "There is no one left behind the corrupt ministers who support the faint king!"
