Chapter 107: Disheartened
"Imperial Doctor Sun, please speak." Mo Nanchen put down his wine glass, and some hope welled up in his heart.
As long as the queen mother is saved and can come to her senses, the grievances on Qing'er's body can be washed away.
"In the past few days, someone has poisoned the queen's mother, and the minister has tried his best to detoxify it, but if I don't get rid of the poisoner, the queen's body will only get weaker and weaker, and she will die in the end."
The queen's body is like a piece of cloth now, some people pull it to the east, some people pull it to the west, it was okay at first, but the number of times this pull is too much, the cloth will be rotten, and even if it is a good craftsman, there is no way to restore this piece of cloth.
Mo Nanchen was silent for a moment and asked Minghui to send Imperial Doctor Sun back.
During this time, he has been investigating, and he already has eyebrows, there is a maid named Fuhong next to the queen's mother, and she goes to see Han Guifei at every turn, but she is afraid that she is lurking in the queen's room on the order of the concubine.
The next day, Mo Nanchen personally entered the palace to face the saint and hinted at the emperor about the matter: "Father, the queen mother's health is getting worse and worse, this matter must be thoroughly investigated, and the people behind the scenes must be brought to justice!" ”
As long as the emperor intervenes in this matter, even if he does not find out for the time being, the mastermind behind him will not dare to act rashly, even if he gives that person ten dares, he will not dare to make trouble in front of the emperor.
"Chen'er, you have been crowned the prince, you should focus on government affairs, don't run to the harem if you have nothing to do, as for the queen, you just have a guess, there is no definite evidence, I can't intervene." The emperor glanced at him and refused outright.
Speaking of which, the meaning has been expressed very clearly, and Mo Nanchen hesitated for a long time, still kneeling on the ground, refusing to get up.
Everyone else turns a blind eye, and as a son, he can't always think about protecting himself.
"Because of this incident, you have already died a princess, do you still want me to die a concubine? A few years ago, the queen was in high spirits, but now it's good to be quiet, there are maids and grandmothers in the palace, so many people, can't you serve a queen? ”
The Emperor put down the fold in his hand, and his tone became more and more impatient, he didn't like people who were not interested, even if it was his own son!
"Father!" Mo Nanchen looked at him in disbelief, disheartened.
No wonder those people dare to act unscrupulously against the queen, it turns out that the root cause is here, a queen who was abandoned by the emperor is just an empty name.
He knew that it would be useless for him to stay any longer, and it would only make his father even more disgusted.
"The retainers obeyed."
After walking out of the imperial study, Mo Nanchen hesitated for a long time and made a decision, he wanted to leave the palace with the queen mother, only in this way could he save the life of the queen mother.
As for the matter of seizing the heir, when life and death are at stake, where did I think about it so much?
The next day, Mo Nanchen played a plea in front of the courtiers, proposing to take the queen to Quancheng Temple to recuperate.
As soon as these words came out, the civil and military courtiers were all stunned, the most surprised was the third prince, he even felt that he was hallucinating, and now all the princes are vying to brush their sense of existence in front of the emperor, he is good, he actually ran away!
"Lord Wang, please be cautious!" An old minister stood up and looked at Mo Nanchen with tears in his eyes, he is from the prince's faction, if he takes the lead and leaves, what will happen to the others?
"Yes, fifth brother, how can you go?" The third prince said with a smile: "There are so many servants in the palace, if you don't worry, it's a big deal that I will send you a few people and let them serve the queen mother." ”
Until now, he still thinks that Mo Nanchen is joking with himself and going to the temple to recuperate, which is not good, isn't it just a deserter.
Mo Nanchen knew his intentions, and he was not polite to him, so he replied directly: "If the third brother is reluctant to me, you can go with me, the temple scenery is very good, and eating fasting and worshipping Buddha every day is the most suitable for self-cultivation." ”
The three princes couldn't say a word now, if their eyes could kill, Mo Nanchen would have been killed hundreds of times.
Both of them knew that what their father really liked was the crown prince, but this was not to be said, if the emperor took it seriously, what should he do?
"Okay, fifth brother, since you have such filial piety, then I will be gracious, you accompany the queen to cultivate your body well, if there is anything missing, no one will go back to the palace directly, as a prince, you don't need to become a monk, let the monks clean up a room, and then you don't have to go to court." The emperor directly interrupted the two of them.
With just a few words, the matter of Mo Nanchen's departure from the palace was decided.
After leaving the court, the courtiers gathered together in groups to discuss countermeasures, and they agreed that in this battle for succession, the prince lost completely.
Last night, the courtiers in the capital were very active, many people went to the Three Princes' Mansion to show their loyalty, and some came to the palace to resign.
"Lord Wang, in this situation, you really shouldn't go, it's better to ask the emperor for instructions and send a few trustworthy guards to guard the queen." An old minister patiently persuaded.
In this battle for succession, once you participate, don't think about retreating, there are only two ways in front of you, either become the emperor or be executed by the new emperor, and there is no other way to go.
Other subordinates also spoke out to persuade them.
"Lord Wang, you must think clearly, the third prince is vicious and vicious, if he becomes the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, he will never let you go, and when that time comes, whether you or the queen, will be in danger!"
"The emperor favors a dying man, lord, you can't go!"
"Now that the prince has real power in his hands, the three princes dare to conspire with the concubine to murder the queen, if it takes a while, I am afraid that it will be assassinated openly."
Looking at these hard-working subordinates in front of him, Mo Nanchen was very moved in his heart, the so-called adversity sees the truth, and this is probably the case.
They are on their side today, and I will never forget them, no matter what happens.
"Don't worry, I have my own considerations, I am not afraid of this war, and I will never be afraid." Mo Nanchen smiled and spoke, giving them a reassuring fruit.
Everyone felt that they were automatically admitting defeat, and the third prince was no exception, so that he could just be caught off guard.
When it came to this, the others finally put their minds at ease.
"So that's the case, it's me who is underestimating the prince."
"The palace of Quancheng Temple is far away, the prince must be very careful this time, if necessary, you can take the first step! Those of us who stay in the capital can join the prince in and out! ”
A group of people were injured and discussed until midnight, and then they went back to their homes, and as soon as they left, Minghui wrote down the names of these people, as well as those who defected, and sent them to the prince's study.
