This was not expected by Changning.

In her memory, the Empress Dowager Qin died suddenly of a heart attack in the fourth year after she returned to the palace.

There are old people in this, and there are many external factors.

For example, at that time, the Qin family was deeply involved in the embankment breaking case and was in danger, Changning and Song Yisheng joined forces, bent on getting rid of the thorn in the eye of Qin Taifu and pulling out the last important minister who dared to admonish the emperor.

The Empress Dowager Qin did not ask about political affairs all her life, and she lived with peace of mind, and she was a virtuous person and a model for women in the hearts of the emperor and the ministers.

But in the face of the death of her mother's family, how could she ignore it.

And the Empress Dowager Qin is the biological mother of the current emperor, the relationship between mother and son has always been very good, the empress dowager usually has no requirements, once there is any request, the emperor will hardly refuse.

So at that time, the biggest obstacle for Changning to punish the Qin family was the Queen Mother.

Knowing that the old queen mother had heart palpitations, she took advantage of the loophole and sang a few big plays with Song Yijin, who was already a Song concubine at the time, which made the queen mother repeatedly stimulated.

A lot of bad news about the Qin family was specially told to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother had to abide by women's morals and not interfere in politics.

Every time the news of summoning the imperial doctor came from Shoukang Palace, Changning was the first to rush over to accompany him, serving the emperor's grandmother to fulfill her so-called filial piety.

After going back and forth many times, the old man finally couldn't stand it anymore.

But this life is different, there are still three years before the death of the old queen mother, and there will be no changes this time, the imperial grandmother should live a long life, at least two more years.

How could you suddenly have such a sudden illness?

Something is wrong.

Changning rushed to Shoukang Palace, and in the main hall, the emperor had just rushed over from the military department.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother's health is very bad!" The old lady knelt down and kowtowed, all trembling.

Changning frowned: "What the hell is going on?" ”

The emperor glanced at her and scolded coldly: "Say! ”

The crowd from the Tai Hospital gathered to talk to each other, and finally came to a conclusion: "The ministers think that the Queen Mother is afraid that she is ...... I'm afraid I'm poisoned. ”

"Poisoned?" Concubine Qin, who was waiting in front of the bed, exclaimed.

The emperor looked at her: "Did Concubine Ai find anything?" ”

Concubine Qin pursed her lips, lowered her eyelids and shook her head: "The concubine just thinks that this matter is too ridiculous, the queen mother came quickly and kindly, even the palace maid and eunuch couldn't bear to scold, how could anyone be ruthless to poison her." ”

The emperor's face froze, and he stared at the imperial doctor and asked, "This matter is not trivial, and you are responsible for what you say." ”

The imperial doctors looked at each other, kowtowed, and said, "The ministers don't dare to lie. ”

"Niangniang's pulse is abnormal, from time to time, it is poisoned, and this poison is peculiar in toxicity, and the ministers can't find a way to detoxify it for a while......" The imperial doctors kowtowed in fear.

The emperor's face turned from white to black, and he suddenly shouted: "Find out to me how the queen mother was poisoned!" ”

Shoukang Palace suddenly became chaotic.

All the things that the Queen Mother ate were turned out and checked, including the daily food records, and the people who served the diet and daily life were all summoned outside the palace to be checked separately by more than a dozen imperial doctors.

Changning stood on the stone steps in front of the main hall of Shoukang Palace and watched the changes.

However, Concubine Qin seemed a little absent-minded, and she couldn't help but look back, the Queen Mother was already dying.

"Concubine Qin has been serving her mother, have you found anything abnormal?" Changning asked.

Concubine Qin glanced at the emperor and shook her head.

Changning Chong glanced aside, Concubine Qin understood, and also found an excuse to walk out of Shoukang Palace with her.

"Suspicious?" Changning asked.

Concubine Qin nodded: "The day before yesterday, Zijing brought the Seventh Prince to greet my aunt and memorized a poem for an hour. ”

Changning raised his eyebrows: "Concubine Zheng Guifei is in a hurry to go to the doctor, not to mention that the imperial grandmother has no habit of taking care of the affairs of the previous dynasty, even if she has, she will not help the Zheng family, and it is already the imperial grandmother's mercy if she does not fall into the well." ”

Changning paused, "Are you suspicious?" ”

Concubine Qin nodded.

"What evidence do you have?"

"It's because there is no evidence that I don't dare to talk nonsense." Concubine Qin said, looking cautiously into the distance, the emperor was still annoyed on the jade steps and urging people to check for poison.

Changning pursed his lips: "How did you find out?" ”

Concubine Qin reminded: "I don't have evidence, but now with a little analysis of the pros and cons, I can know who benefits the most from what to do." ”

The Empress Dowager Qin is the link between the Qin family and the emperor, as long as the old empress dowager is still in one day, this blood relationship is in one day, and the emperor naturally wants to pay more attention to the Qin family.

Correspondingly, the five princes will also be more favored by the emperor.

And the Zheng family originally relied on Zheng Guifei to please the emperor, but now that Zheng Guifei has fallen out of favor, even the later Song Yijin has died in vain, the foundation of the Zheng family has been destroyed, and the three princes themselves are difficult to protect, where is the qualification for Xiao Xiang's throne.

But the more this is the case, the more likely it is that Zheng Guifei will jump off the wall in a hurry.

Like now.

If there is something wrong with the old lady's health, the world will be vegetarian, and Zheng Anhou's case will drag on for a while.

This period of time was a turning point for the Zheng family.

Thinking of this, Changning's face was slightly gloomy, and it was impossible not to worry.

She is the princess of the Chu Dynasty, and the queen mother is the imperial grandmother of her in-laws, even if she doesn't say it, this family affection is also in her heart.

"Since it's poisoning, let her hand over the antidote, and this palace may be able to keep her whole body." Changning grinds his teeth, and he is about to step forward.

Concubine Qin stopped Changning: "Your Highness, all this is just our speculation, what do you want to tell Your Majesty?" ”

"Because of the twists and turns in your family affairs, Your Majesty is already dissatisfied, and you can no longer rely on Your Majesty's favor to act recklessly." Concubine Qin persuaded pertinently.

Changning doesn't know.

"The imperial grandmother is in danger, Concubine Zheng is obviously waiting for me to talk about the conditions, I can't help but go."

"Having said that, has Your Highness ever thought of stepping into someone else's game like this?" Concubine Qin shook her head.

Changning has gone through many careful calculations to get to where he is today, and he has forced the Zheng family into a desperate situation, and once he steps out, it will be a failure.

"Concubine Qin, you are calmer than Changning imagined." Changning suddenly spoke, his voice cold.

Concubine Qin was stunned, her expression was forbearant and painful.

"My aunt has always taken good care of me, and the most common thing to teach is to be calm in trouble, please think twice, Your Highness."

Changning didn't reply, and the emperor was already making waves.

"Your Majesty, the source of the poison has been found!"

Changning and Concubine Qin glanced at each other and hurriedly stepped forward.

I saw a imperial physician hurrying out of the dormitory, followed by a small eunuch carrying a tray.

"What's going on?" The emperor asked.

The imperial physician knelt down in front of the emperor and explained: "Your Majesty, it is this hairpin that is poisonous, and when worn between the mother's hair, it will seep into the blood from the scalp. ”

"What a big bold!" The emperor rebuked.

"In the majestic inner palace, there are people who dare to poison my mother, it's extremely hateful!" The emperor kicked over the tray, and he coughed three times: "I haven't found out who I have handled!" ”

The palace kneeling down should be.

When everyone in the Sixth Palace heard the news, they also rushed one after another, and they gathered into a faint voice: "Your Majesty is angry." ”

Changning and Concubine Qin's eyes staggered.

Could it be that they all guessed wrong, this matter has nothing to do with the concubine?

"What about the concubine? Something so big happened that she didn't even show her face? The Emperor swept through the crowd and asked in a cold voice.

"Xu didn't receive the news, and the concubine sent someone to invite him." Concubine Qin responded virtuously and gave the palace maids beside her a look.
