Chapter 124: The Emperor Dies, the Queen Mother's Hole Cards?
When Empress Dowager Gu saw her come in, her drooping eyelids suddenly lit up with hatred, and she said word by word: "If it weren't for the fact that the concubine accidentally learned that you instructed the Qiu family to murder the emperor and privately told the mourning family, of course the mourning family would not have happened to bump into today's scene!" ”
Although it was said that after receiving the notification from the Empress Dowager Gu, the emperor had been poisoned again, and the ministers already knew it. []
But now Empress Dowager Gu pointed out in front of everyone that Empress Jiang was the culprit of killing the monarch, or did she make an uproar in the palace!
The queen party naturally can't sit back and watch the queen being slandered like this!
"The Queen Mother's words are so unreasonable!" Because the Queen Mother's Party has fallen into decline, many people in the Queen Party, such as Jiang Tianqiao and the like, are not so respectful, "The Queen Mother is Your Majesty's Yuan and His Majesty's wife, the so-called husband and wife are one, for so many years, the emperor and queen have been harmonious, and the former crown prince, His Majesty is interested in the seven princes who have been raised by the queen mother, which shows Your Majesty's trust in the queen mother!" Dare to ask the Queen Mother, why should the Queen Mother be unfavorable to His Majesty?! ”
Speaking of this, he changed his words, "It's Gu Guifei!" The concubine gave birth to two sons, King Yan and King Zhou, and when the Queen Mother wanted to set up King Yan as the prince, God warned that this matter was over! Later, the queen mother wanted to promote the king of Zhou, but the king of Zhou was not pleased with His Majesty, and actually had the idea of killing the king - who knows that Your Majesty's royal health is not good today, is it because of Gu Guifei's anger and resentment because of her second son, so she plotted to kill Your Majesty and wanted to blame the queen? ! ”
"Nonsense!" Gu Guifei didn't expect the fire to burn on her body so quickly - she entered the palace under the pressure of the Empress Dowager Gu, even if she gave birth to two princes, she had no feelings for the emperor, but she had no feelings for the emperor, and her sons were always biological! King Zhou's family was gone before, but there was still King Yan, if Jiang Tianqiao was allowed to crucify himself on the charge of killing the king, would King Yan's father and son still be able to keep it?
Therefore, Concubine Gu Guifei was also angry, and said coldly, "Vice Minister Jiang kept saying that the palace plotted to kill the emperor and marry the empress, don't you know that this Funing Palace, since His Majesty was poisoned on Chinese New Year's Eve last year, in order to let His Majesty rest at ease, the Queen Mother and the Empress both ordered the harem not to be disturbed, even the visiting prince and princess, in addition to the crown prince, there are only two princesses, Changping and Yongfu!" Dare to ask Vice Minister Jiang - this palace can't even enter for so long, how can you murder Your Majesty?! How can you blame the queen?! ”
The queen's impression of Gu Guifei has always been that of an honest person who is obedient, but she didn't expect that she was forced to be anxious, and her words were also very sharp-Jiang Tianqiao was stunned for a moment before he asked rhetorically: "So since the concubine can't enter Funing Palace, how does she know that the queen instructed her subordinates' niece to murder Your Majesty?" ”
"Naturally, the palace overheard the private words of the palace people serving in the Funing Palace in the imperial garden!" Gu Guifei said coldly, "I originally thought that the villain was slandering the queen's mother, but I thought that it was a matter of His Majesty's safety and should not be ignored!" That's why the palace went to the Taishi Palace to ask the Queen Mother to bring the palace to visit Your Majesty, but she didn't want to...... When I got here, I saw Your Majesty...... His Majesty was poisoned after eating the dishes made by the Qiu Clan......"
"What about the palace people?" Empress Jiang sneered and looked around, "Since there is such a witness, why don't you call up and confront this palace?!" Her face darkened, "Besides, Yongfu of the main palace is also here today, right?" Where is she?! ”
"Yongfu feels sorry for her father and stays inside." Empress Dowager Gu said coldly, "The mourning family just wanted to call her out, but she didn't ...... You don't want to talk about her, but when it comes to her, the mourning family thinks it's very strange: this child didn't necessarily have much to be close to her father before, why did she run so diligently these days?! ”
This is obviously a suspicion that Empress Jiang was going to kill the monarch and deliberately sent her daughter to get close to the emperor - as mentioned earlier, what Empress Jiang hated most was to pull her daughter, and she was furious when she heard this: "Why is Yongfu the blood of Your Majesty's relatives, and it is not right to always be filial to Your Majesty?!" And didn't you hear the words of the Gu family? In order to let His Majesty recuperate with peace of mind, the only princes and princesses who can visit His Majesty in Funing Palace during this period are the crown prince, Chang Ping and Yongfu! The prince is the prince of the country, he needs to go to school, it is difficult to go from time to time, although Changping is actually idle, she doesn't have that filial piety, Yongfu has to make up for the filial piety of her brothers and sisters, you can't see it?! ”
Empress Dowager Gu said coldly: "You don't change the topic!" The mourning family said that Yongfu was not so sensible before, but now he suddenly became diligent, and I don't know if you taught it! ”
"Then Chang Ping went to see His Majesty once, and the co-author was taught by the queen mother?" Empress Jiang gritted her teeth and said, "Why did the queen mother let Chang Ping go to Funing Palace?" I'm afraid I already knew that there was today, right? ”
was arguing here, and Xue Chang coughed at the bottom: "The queen mother, the queen mother, the witness of what the concubine said...... I've already brought it on! ”
The two queens glanced at each other viciously, and looked down together, and sure enough, there was a trembling little chamberlain kneeling under the Dan Qi.
Empress Jiang saw that this person's face was stiff - Qiu Yulan at the bottom sighed in her heart: "It seems that this little chamberlain was the queen's person before?" "At least on the surface.
Sure enough, the queen followed and reprimanded: "Xu Changhe! This palace thought that you were diligent in your work, and specially sent you to come to Funing Palace to serve Your Majesty, and you actually slandered this palace inside and out! Don't you get tired of life! ”
"What are you scaring him for?!" Empress Dowager Gu followed and scolded the queen angrily, "If you didn't do it, you didn't do it, and if you did it, you did it!" Threatening words to the mouth of the truly loyal emperor, and daring to say the word 'slander'! ”
"Since the Empress Dowager Gu pushed this little chamberlain out to corroborate it, it is obvious that this is a dead man, how can she insist that the queen instructed me to harm the emperor while cooking!" Qiu Yulan was too lazy to listen to the quarrel between the second queen and the ministers, and while she didn't need to speak yet, she frowned and thought about what happened, "Generally speaking, after I finish cooking, the queen's people will send it to Funing Palace, and then the people who serve the emperor here will try it to be non-toxic, and the emperor will only enter it after it is finished - it is said that the emperor will not be poisoned!" So is this poison elsewhere, the dishes I made are just a crime, or is the person who tasted it playing with the Empress Dowager Ye again? ”
…… At this time, the second queen also pinched the emperor's murder: "The little chamberlain who tried the food for His Majesty served in Ganquan Palace, and this time His Majesty was poisoned and he was fine, as if Chu Weizhou's matter was repeated!" There is actually a face slandered on the head of the palace and the niece of the palace! ”
Mrs. Gu was expressionless: "If you care about the emperor a little bit!" You will know that since the Chinese New Year's Eve, all the food tasting attendants must have an empty stomach for two hours in full view before they can try the food! ”
Two hours is four hours, and even if you eat more raw eggs, you will be digested, and naturally you will not be able to neutralize the toxins.
"The poison will definitely not be in the dish, too, the dish was sent by the queen's people, and it has been stared at, and it is not easy to do tricks and feet! It should be somewhere else in the dormitory, but I haven't heard of anyone else dying except the emperor, how the hell did you get it? Qiu Yulan thought hard, "It's really clueless to think like this, if only I could go into the dormitory to have a look...... Alas, this emperor is really miserable, and he is such a mother as the Empress Dowager Gu! Before the Empress Dowager Ye attacked him, was it the sin that the Empress Dowager Gu did back then, which involved the emperor? Now the Empress Dowager Gu has done it herself......"
Thinking of this, a figure suddenly rushed out of the palace, and suddenly threw herself into Queen Jiang's arms, crying loudly: "Father, the emperor, ——! ”
…… It is Princess Yongfu who is guarding the bed.
The emperor didn't survive this time and died!
The sound of the death knell shocked the entire capital, and also caused a commotion among the government and the opposition - but the search for the real culprit in Funing Palace not only did not end, but became more and more intense!
Empress Dowager Gu burst into tears: "Now the mourning family has spread out the words: the mourning family can have today all thanks to the emperor, if the emperor is gone, what is the benefit of the mourning family?!" Jiang, you also have the face to say that the mourning family has harmed the emperor! How can a biological mother be so cruel to her parents and children in this world?! ”
"The queen mother regent has not thought of returning to politics for more than 30 years, how can she think of her own mother and son!" Empress Jiang has already decided that she did it at this moment, and the anger and contempt in her heart are really difficult to describe, and what she hates even more is that in order to slander the Jiang family, Empress Dowager Gu took the opportunity of Princess Yongfu to honor the emperor, so that the princess could witness the emperor's poisonous death - the queen herself is not very touched by the emperor's life and death, but Yongfu, she is the emperor's biological daughter!
And Yongfu has always been carefree, and suddenly being stimulated by such a big stimulus, how can I live in the future!
Holding Yongfu's body tightly and feeling her grief, Queen Jiang's heart was about to break!
pinched here, they finally remembered Qiu Yulan-
Of course, Qiu Yulan did not admit that the queen instructed him to murder the emperor, let alone that he had harmed the emperor in the process of cooking: "The dishes made by the courtiers were sent to Funing Palace by the queen's mother, and Her Royal Highness Princess Yongfu accompanied Her Majesty to dine together, and now Her Royal Highness Princess Yongfu is safe and sound, which shows that there is no problem with the dishes made by the courtiers!" The reason why His Majesty died was naturally caused by people elsewhere! ”
"Sophistry!" The Queen Mother shouted, "The Imperial Doctor has obviously found poison in the dishes-"
"Your Majesty will definitely be in chaos after the poison, who knows if it will be poisoned later?" Qiu Yulan sneered, "The waiter and Her Royal Highness Princess Yongfu are fine, but the Queen Mother insists that there is a problem with the dishes, is the Queen Mother so hopeful that there is a problem with the dishes?!" ”
Empress Jiang sensed the reminder in her words, handed Princess Yongfu to the female officer Lin behind her and hugged her, and stood up by herself: "Check!" Immediately let the Tai Hospital find out all the utensils and personnel in His Majesty's dormitory, and find out where the poison is!! ”
Qiu Yulan secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this: "At present, the Queen's Party is in the limelight, and these people who are trending up and down must be towards the Queen's Party...... Empress Dowager Gu wants to use killing to reverse the situation, she is really dizzy! I don't want to think about the situation when Shi Han fell and the court fought again, even if she really mastered the handle of the Jiang family's killing of the king, she would just die quickly! I thought that this was the last year of the first emperor, and she could continue to be her regent queen mother if she framed the former prince of the abolished prince with the intention of killing the king?! ”
It's just that when I turned around, I saw that after Empress Dowager Gu heard Empress Jiang say that she wanted to thoroughly investigate the emperor's bedroom, she was not depressed, but full of confidence!
"Strange, does the Queen Mother still have a backhand?" Qiu Yulan thought confusedly, "What is that?" "I feel that the Empress Dowager Gu doesn't have enough cards to play? ()
