Seeing the number of etiquette is indispensable, the Queen Mother asked what she meant, and said: "Last night Chen Ping's birthday ......"

"Oh......" the Queen Mother remembered, "the mourning family has forgotten about this." ”

"Chen Ping didn't set up a banquet to celebrate his birthday, but someone still went to congratulate him on his birthday......"

"It should too." Having said that, I could hear that Empress Dowager Lu was insincere, "Who is the person who congratulated him on his birthday?" ”

"Zhou Bo."

The expression on Empress Dowager Lu's face was a little stiff.

This emperor is terminally ill, the medicine stone has no spirit, and the master of this big man is about to change, so she has long been wary of those old ministers in the court.

Every former minister was under her surveillance, even Chen Ping, who had no real power, was not spared.

"Weichen heard that Wang Lingzheng gathered a group of old ministers, and wanted to control the court in the name of assistant when the prince ascended the throne." "He went to find Zhou Bo, and then Zhou Bo went to Chen's Mansion." ”

Empress Dowager Lu smiled coldly and asked, "Do you think Chen Ping will stand on the side of Wang Ling?" ”

Judging the food, he felt that it was unlikely, in his opinion, Chen Ping was cowardly and had no courage to come together with Wang Ling.

It's just that he has never liked Chen Ping and wants to trap Chen Ping in danger, so he replied: "It's not impossible." ”

Empress Lu showed a worried look in the back, Chen Ping and Zhou Bo were both people who the first emperor relied on very much, their words and deeds were full of weight, if they stood on the side of the royal tomb, it would be a very tricky matter.

Therefore, Empress Dowager Lu ordered her to closely monitor Chen Ping and Zhou Bo's actions, and if there was any abnormal behavior, she would be the first to strike.

Judging the food, he gladly accepted the order, so there is no need to say more......

Many people say that the emperor collapsed due to illness, but they don't know that his illness was born because of the queen mother.

Su Wentang felt quite sympathy for the frail emperor. From Emperor Hui falling ill again to the present, the Queen Mother only sent people to condole, and she never showed up.

The medicine had just been boiled, and the palace maid personally fed Emperor Hui the medicine, and Su Wentang stood in one piece and waited.

"Is it still useful for me to drink this medicine?" Liu Ying asked suddenly.

Su asked Tang for a moment, not knowing how to answer. In fact, his hesitation is also his answer.

Liu Ying smiled bitterly, suddenly shook her hand, and knocked over the medicine bowl in the palace maid's hand, so frightened that the palace maid immediately knelt down, although she was not wrong.

"Why am I so unlucky...... Liu Ying said with a smile on her face, "since I ascended the throne, there has never been a matter that I have been able to decide. The Queen Mother will only say that I am not this and that is not. ”

"In her eyes, everything I do is wrong! This is clearly an excuse for her to love the position of power! I hate it...... I hate ......."

Speaking of the urgency, it was accompanied by a violent cough, "Why, why is she my queen mother......"

Outside the door, the palace guards knelt on the ground, their foreheads on the ground, and their hearts trembled.

Because the Queen Mother was standing in front of them, her face gloomy. After taking a walk in the back garden, she thought about coming to visit Liu Ying, but she didn't want to hear such words.

Su Wentang, who was standing on the side, complained bitterly in his heart because he heard something he shouldn't have heard. Liu Ying's words may bring him trouble.

"Your Majesty, don't get angry, lest you hurt the dragon's body." He hurriedly persuaded him, also to stop Liu Ying's words.

"Hurt my body...... Hehe......" Liu Ying said with a dry smile, "She is wishing I would die sooner......"

As soon as the words fell, a loud "bang" was heard.

Empress Dowager Lu hurriedly walked in angrily, and Su Wentang quickly knelt down without making a sound.

In the past, Liu Ying would definitely feel scared, but now that he has half his life, there is nothing to be afraid of.

"You stand down first." Empress Dowager Lu said.

Su Wentang and the palace people in the room got up quietly and retreated.

Empress Dowager Lu looked at Liu Ying, there was no love in her eyes, only majesty. Liu Ying was so disappointed, in front of the Queen Mother, he wanted to behave energetically, but he couldn't help coughing and coughed violently.

"If you are sick, you should take medicine, if you lose your temper, will you be cured?" Empress Dowager Lu tried to speak gently, but it sounded a little stiff.

"The medicine stone is gone, why do you still eat unpalatable things?" Liu Ying lowered her head and said.

"Aren't you okay now? What nonsense! ”

"I know my body, I know best. The Queen Mother is coming, is there anything wrong? ”

"Just to see your ......"

"I've seen it, I'm tired, the Queen Mother, please go back! ……”

Hearing this tone, Empress Dowager Lu felt angry in her heart, but thinking that Liu Ying would not live long, she didn't bother with him, just let him have a good rest, and turned to leave.

Out of the room, Empress Lu instructed the palace people to look at Liu Ying, with the intention of not wanting Liu Ying to approach the ministers at this time.

Then she looked around at everyone, only Su Wentang was missing, and after asking, she learned that Su Wentang went back to the hospital first.

"You can walk ......very fast," Empress Dowager Lu said coldly, "pass him to Changle Palace." ”

Su asked Tang Gang to return to the Tai Hospital, and he had been uneasy in his heart. He found his friend Qian Wenfei and asked him for help.

"Brother Wenfei, when you asked me to enter the palace, you promised to send me away once His Majesty's condition was diagnosed. Now that Your Majesty's illness has no room for improvement, it's time for you to fulfill your promise, right? ”

Qian Wenfei's face was embarrassed, "Brother Su, it's not that I don't want to send you away, but the Queen Mother has a will, and I can't help it!" ”

"Bitter!" Su Wentang's brows furrowed, "You've hurt me......"

"Didn't I just leave you down to see Your Majesty, how did I hurt you?"

"You don't know ......" Before he finished speaking, Su Wentang heard someone call him again, but he could only swallow the words back and sigh and flick his sleeves.

"The Queen Mother wants to see you!!" The palace people who came said that.

came to Changle Palace and saw the Empress Dowager Lu. Empress Dowager Lu looked at him from above, and didn't seem to have any intention of letting him be flattened.

"What do you think of what Your Majesty said?" Empress Dowager Lu asked.

Su Wentang panicked, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is seriously ill, and everything he says is nonsense. ”

"You're right......" Empress Dowager Lu said, "but sometimes, nonsense is also very deadly......

"The grass people understand."

"Do you really understand?"

"Yes."

"It's good to understand, and there is no need to say more about the mourners. From now on, you will stay in the hospital! ……”

Su Wentang complained bitterly in his heart, but he wanted to thank Empress Dowager Lu for her grace. If he shirks it again, his life will be lost.

He regretted entering the palace now, he thought that he could avoid the strife in the palace, but he didn't expect that this whirlwind was too big, and he couldn't avoid it at all.

Chen's house.

"Master, Lord Wang is visiting." Butler Road.

Chen Ping pondered for a moment and said, "You go and tell him that I am ill and resting, so it is inconvenient to meet guests." ”

Wang Ling's intention, Chen Ping had already guessed seven or eight points, he might have come to win himself over to join their camp.

Strangely, Chen Ping didn't understand why Wang Ling couldn't see that the Lu clan was in full swing now? Wang Ling himself wanted to hit the tip of the knife, so he had to win him over at this time.

Chen Ping knew very well that his mansion was being watched, so he didn't see Wang Mausoleum to protect himself.

Of course, Wang Ling may also know this, so he deliberately chose to come in broad daylight, wanting the Queen Mother to know that he had met Chen Ping, so that the Queen Mother would have a misunderstanding, so as to achieve the purpose of making Chen Ping obey.

It's a pity that his wishful thinking was wrong, and the housekeeper relayed Chen Ping's intentions, and Wang Ling understood that he was protecting himself.

said angrily: "Tell Chen Ping that he is afraid of the king's fortune and loyalty to the king, is he worthy of the emperor's entrustment!" After speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left.

The housekeeper brought Wang Ling's words, and Chen Ping was expressionless when he heard it, maybe it wasn't the same thing at all. Who can know the emotion in his heart?

Wang Ling and a group of ministers wanted to see the emperor, but they were blocked from the Weiyang Palace.

"Why don't you let me wait to see Your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty is sick with the dragon's body, it is not appropriate to see your lords, please go back, adults! ……”

"If we can't see Your Majesty today, we won't leave!"

"This ......"

Wang Ling led a group of ministers and stood outside the palace gate. The north wind is bleak, the weather is cold, these ministers are over half a hundred years old, and this cold wind is enough for them.

But they don't have the slightest intention of backing down, don't look at their age, but their willpower is not lost to the enthusiastic young people. Because they have always had a pure heart that is loyal to the Han.

"Queen Mother, all of you are outside the Weiyang Palace, asking to see Your Majesty." The palace man said.

"Since they like to blow the wind so much, then let them ......," Empress Dowager Lu said, "The mourning family wants to see how long they can hold on." ”

As the sun sets, the night makes it even colder.

The ministers outside the outer palace tucked their hands in their sleeves and kept pacing back and forth, hoping to get a little warmth. This method can still come in handy in the afternoon when there is still sunshine, but now it can be said that it is a drop in the bucket and does not help.

Finally, someone couldn't stand the cold and collapsed.

Everyone panicked, and Wang Ling immediately ordered them to send the fallen man back.

"Prime Minister, it's not okay to go on like this!!" Someone suggested.

Wang Ling thought for a while and said, "Okay, let's go back first!" ……”

The crowd felt as if they had been re-released, and they were overjoyed. When Wang Ling saw everyone like this, he felt sad in his heart.

Not being able to stick to it was already very detrimental to their morale, and they were still secretly happy about it...... Alas, is there no longer a strong man in my big man?

Wang Ling and the ministers left Weiyang Palace together, and he walked last.

It's not that he walks slowly, but that others walk fast, and they are all in a hurry to escape from the cold, where is the ambition just now.

Wang Ling stopped, watched everyone go away, their backs disappeared into the twilight, and then he turned around and walked towards Weiyang Palace.

The halberd man in front of the palace gate saw that he was back again, and couldn't help but persuade: "Prime Minister, it's getting late, let's come back another day!" ……”

Wang Ling said: "It's okay, I said that I will stay here until I see Your Majesty." ”

The halberd Langzhong sympathized with him, so he asked him to wait in the palace gate, and he could also avoid the cold wind. Wang Ling thanked him and sat down against the side of the door.
