Chapter 322: Mutual Grip
The last person the old emperor saw before he fainted was Wen Wei, and when she hurriedly ran out of her palace, the old emperor and the old queen mother were already unconscious.
And she was so flustered at the time that she didn't think about Wen Wei at all. By the time she finally reacted, Wen Wei had already left Tianlu.
With the clues of Wen Wei's aspects, it is not difficult to investigate it carefully. borrowed the power of her mother's family, and soon found out the reason.
It's a pity that it's too late. The news of Wen Wei's death came faster than the news that her identity was revealed, and the court caused turmoil overnight, and there were many more folds in the dragon case in front of the palace.
From embezzling royal funds to beating court officials, there are many left, right, and right sides are involved, and they all point arrows to one place.
That is, the country has no monarch and no prince, if the Jun clan does not put out a person who can stand up to the world, I am afraid that someone will provoke a war.
With the power of their great clans, these are not enough to fear.
And what surprised her and the Murong Shi clan even more was the many roots that Wen Wei and these people had planted in the Tianlu Dynasty.
Even the little emperor Jun Yiyou, who was suppressed in the front hall, could only suppress the turbulent undercurrent in the court, and the vassal king who retreated hundreds of miles away was beyond the reach of the whip and couldn't take care of it at all.
She didn't know how messy it was outside, she only knew that the old emperor, as the king of a country, didn't know when he would wake up, and even her son, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today, didn't know when he would wake up!
Murong Xin's eyes were slightly gloomy, and the thoughts in his heart turned several times. Although there are not many bloodlines of the old emperor, they all appeared in the capital at this juncture.
Jun Qingchen, Jun Yansheng, and the Nine Emperor Princes who have been wandering outside, I heard that they are all already on their way back to the Tianlu Dynasty! It's just at this time, when the sky and land are the weakest!
Murong Xin's hand hidden under the cuff was clenched tightly.
She can't let her son's status as the crown prince be affected in any way! She actually wanted Chu Qing to be the first to see the crown prince, but if she really did this, she would definitely make their Murong Yi clan the target of public criticism.
"When the traitor left, he poisoned the emperor, but the imperial doctors looked at it all, but they only found that the emperor was just sleeping!" Murong Xin furrowed his brows.
To be honest, she didn't want the old emperor to wake up so quickly.
She lowered her eyes and looked at Chu Qing, who was stretching out her hand to take the pulse of the old emperor, leaned down slightly, and said in a very low voice in her ear: "Miss Chu, on the day of the imperial city, the emperor was kind to you, and you must also want to report your kindness to the emperor in person, right?" ”
Chu Qing's face did not change, she put the old emperor's hand into the quilt, looked back at the queen Murong Xin and said indifferently: "The emperor is just too weak, coupled with the fatigue of many years, he has hollowed out his body." Originally, he only had to rest for a few days and light some refreshing incense, and he would wake up in a few days. ”
It's a pity that the people in the palace are too cautious and regard a small thing as a big thing. A few old doctors thought that they had diagnosed the wrong pulse, so they checked several medical books and boiled a lot of tonic medicine for the old emperor.
The old emperor made up for it like this, the meridians were sluggish, and the qi was not smooth, so he naturally couldn't wake up.
Murong Xin was obviously stunned: "It's just like this?" ”
Chu Qing glanced at her, reached out and took out the porcelain bottle from his arms and handed it to Murong Xin's hand: "If the queen doesn't believe it, you can call the imperial doctor in the palace to take a look." ”
Murong Xin's face was slightly gloomy, Chu Qing stood up and looked at her and said, "As for the matter of the Imperial City that day, Chu naturally remembered it in his heart. As long as the emperor wakes up, as long as it is not excessive, I will do my best for the emperor. ”
The empress is also a member of the Murong clan, and it is naturally impossible for the old emperor to inform her about her siege in the imperial city. As for how the queen found out, she was not interested in knowing.
Left and right just want to grasp the dynamics of the old emperor.
Murong Xin intended to pinch Chu Qing, but she never thought that she would be so straightforward, and she didn't know how to respond for a while. was stunned, and Xianglian hurriedly walked in from outside.
"Niangniang," Xianglian knelt on the ground, with an anxious look on her face: "There is news from the East Palace, saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is seriously ill. ”
"What," Murong Xin almost fell after hearing this. Fortunately, next to her was the dragon bed where the old emperor was lying, she reached out and grabbed the edge of the golden dragon carving bed, and stroked her forehead with one hand for a long time before slowly opening her eyes.
Murong Xin turned his head and looked at Chu Qing fiercely: "Since the emperor has nothing to do, there is Miss Lao Chu to go to the East Palace again." ”
Before Chu Qing could speak, a sword royal forest army ran in at the door, he arched his hand and twisted his eyebrows and said, "Qi Yu Niangniang, all the ministers in the palace are here!" ”
Murong Xin's brows furrowed fiercely: "At this time, it is the time of the Shang Dynasty, what are they doing here?" Her eyes deepened, and she said in a deep voice: "What about the little emperor?" ”
The soldier hung his head: "I heard from the little eunuch in the front hall that the little emperor was invited by the fourth princess of Dongli." ”
"The fourth princess of Dongli?" Murong Xin seemed to have heard some joke, and pulled the corners of his lips in disbelief, and after a while, he said softly: "The little emperor really has a heart!" ”
Chu Qing on the side did not speak, but his face was slightly gloomy.
Wen Wei's death can be spread to the heavens and land, and what Jimo Ying, who left the east, did with an army of 500,000 in the border city, presumably these people already knew about it.
Such a scheming country, but they still let the four princesses stay here?
Murong Xin's words fell, and a neat voice suddenly came from outside the house: "The minister kneels to see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." ”
Murong Xin's eyes darkened angrily, and she tried her best to hold on to the edge of the golden wood, trying to stabilize her figure: "It's the opposite, it's the opposite." The news that the emperor is in good health is only a few words, and these people have all smelled the smell? Well, that's good! ”
How they wish the old emperor's condition could get worse!
Hearing this, Chu Qing glanced up at Murong Xin.
Liu Ding naturally stood outside to greet her, and Chu Yingluo sneaked in quietly while everyone was at a loss, but she was hindered by the majesty of the queen, so she only dared to hide far away and secretly looked at Chu Qing.
Her face was full of anxiety, and her lips opened and closed silently, as if she were saying something.
Murong Xin on the side flicked her sleeves and snorted coldly, she turned her head and looked at Chu Qing with fierce eyes: "The ancients said that heroes are sad to pass the beauty pass. Originally, the palace scoffed at them, believing that they were just ordinary people, and that they were not in the abyss of royal power. But now that I look at it, this palace has become my own joke! ”
She alluded to the little emperor, and the corners of Chu Qing's lips hooked up a faint smile. Murong Xin's face was even more ugly, she looked at Chu Qing and said: "At the moment of the country, this palace hopes that Miss Chu can look at the lives of the people of the Tianlu Dynasty and do her best to heal the prince." ”
Murong Xin was encouraged, but he stood motionless, obviously waiting for Chu Qing to take the first step. She did this just to force her into the East Palace in full view of everyone to see the prince.
If it was someone else, she Murong Xin could have tied them up. But in the face of Chu Qing, she naturally had no bottom in her heart. Only before the world can you push Chu Qing out.
Chu Qing raised his eyebrows slightly, and sneered even more in his heart. She nodded lightly at Murong Xin: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a bit of a thin relationship with the grass people, and the grass people naturally do their best." ”
After receiving Chu Qing's assurance, Murong Xin was obviously relieved. Her brow was slightly loose, and a faint smile appeared on her face, but the faint smile quickly faded when the heavier and heavier pressure outside the door hit.
Chu Qing consciously raised his legs and walked forward, followed closely by Murong Xin. When she walked to the door, Chu Qing was one step slower than Murong Xin, allowing Murong Xin to appear in front of the hundred officials before her.
There was a black press kneeling in front of the hall, and basically all the officials with official positions came.
Murong Xin looked at these loyal people kneeling on the ground, sneered, raised his voice and said, "The emperor has not recovered yet, what do the adults mean by kneeling in front of the palace like this?" ”
An old man at the head straightened up and bowed his hand to the queen: "The queen is angry." The old ministers were also reluctant to come over when the emperor's body had not yet recovered. It's just that when the little emperor suddenly shook his hand and left early this morning, it really made the ministers and others feel cold in their hearts, so they didn't care about etiquette, so they broke in. ”
"Yes, Queen." An official kneeling beside the old man also straightened up and arched his hand at her: "Although the little emperor has been away from the court for many years, his ability is indeed outstanding. The emperor recalled the little emperor before he fell into a coma, and the ministers had no opinion. So these days, the ministers have tried their best to cooperate with the little emperor to deal with the affairs of the previous dynasty.
But today, the little emperor did too much, and just because of the words of the fourth princess, he abandoned the disasters everywhere in the sky and land. The ministers tried their best to dissuade them, but they still did not change the little emperor's heart to leave. ”
His face was full of helplessness, with a hint of sorrow: "The ministers also care about the emperor and the prince." So before the emperor and the prince returned, these things were endured. Now that the emperor has finally waited for a miracle doctor, how can the ministers hold back the joy in their hearts? Although the minister is rebellious, even if he sacrifices his life, he must ask the emperor to take a look at Tianlu! ”
As soon as his words fell, the many officials who knelt behind several of them senior officials buried their heads deeply and said loudly: "Please be gracious to the queen!" ”
When they said this, they obviously pressed the consequences of the old emperor's failure to come out to criticize the folds on her Murong Xin's head!
A sneer hung on the corner of Murong Xin's mouth, and he squinted slightly and glanced at Chu Qing, who was standing not far from him: "It's only been less than half a day since the divine doctor girl returned to Beijing, and the time to diagnose the emperor's pulse is only half a pillar of incense, and the news of the adults is really well-informed!" ”
The faces of the few people kneeling in the front row stiffened slightly.
Murong Xin didn't care what the faces of these people were, and said coldly: "Under the diagnosis of the divine doctor girl, the emperor's body is indeed fine. However, the emperor has not woken up yet, and as for when he will wake up, the palace does not know. ”
With that, she turned her head to look at Chu Qing.
The group of kneeling people also looked up at Chu Qing.
Ling Zihan, who had been promoted to a first-class member, knelt in front of him, his body seemed to be thinner, and he no longer had the scenery of previous years. It's just that the red eyes, with a hint of coldness, slowly looked at the indifferent woman.
