Zhao Chen took half a day to deal with the folds, and then went to Kunning Palace to guard as usual.

Lu Zhenan smiled and stepped forward to greet him.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, your prime minister has to come to Kunning Palace every day to fulfill your filial piety, which is really hard."

For several days in a row, the crown prince was in charge of the country, and the government was in an orderly manner, and Lu Zhenan also admired him a little. And the emperor is willing to trust the prince so much, and the prince's position in the future is stable, and no one can easily shake it.

Zhao Chen said lightly, "General Lu is hard, he can't even rest for a moment when he comes back from the southwest, so he has been staying here."

Lu Zhenan laughed, "Your Highness has won the award, this is the responsibility of the general."

He said in a low voice, "After the Marquis of Yongping and General Cen, the Wang family fell rapidly, and the emperor's right and left arms were cut off, didn't the crown prince notice anything?"

Zhao Chen said negatively and expressionlessly, "The Wang family is plotting rebellion, this is a matter that has been decided."

Lu Zhenan smiled meaninglessly, stood beside Zhao Chen, as if chatting, smiled and whispered, "The opponent is clever, and the emperor will inevitably be deceived at times. Or, sometimes the emperor is also difficult to ride a tiger, and he must take advantage of the situation."

Zhao Chen remained silent, "Opponent? What opponent?"

Lu Zhenan laughed, "Your Highness is a smart person, who else has the ability to do this now?"

"General Lu used to be a civilian official, and he liked to talk around the bush. Now that he is a military general, why are he still so sneaky, what can't he say in a dignified manner?" Zhao Chen looked at him coldly, "Do you rely on this to win your father's trust on weekdays?"

Lu Zhenan didn't expect the prince to give him so much face, his smile froze, and he laughed dryly.

"Really...... There are some things that can only be understood but not spoken."

Zhao Chen looked at him for a moment, "If it is really as you said, then you are really derelict in your duty to return to Beijing with the Duke of Dingguo this time."

Lu Zhenan was stunned, "I don't know why His Highness said this?"

Zhao Chen asked, "What is the purpose of my father sending you to the southwest?"

Lu Zhenan laughed.

Naturally, he pressed the Duke of Dingguo and did not allow him to move troops and horses at will.

Zhao Chen said, "Dingguo Gong has deep roots in the southwest, you may be able to contain one or two in the southwest, and now that you are in the capital, you may know the movements of the soldiers and horses in the southwest?"

Lu Zhenan's face changed, his time in the southwest was too short, and he didn't cultivate too many forces, so naturally he couldn't.

"Your Highness's Will......"

Zhao Chen said lightly, "Lone just follows your words casually."

After speaking, he looked at the gate of the palace with his hands in his hands, looking like he didn't want to say much.

Lu Zhenan frowned, thoughtful.

If the king of Jin rebelled, he relied on the Northwest Army and the Southwest Army. The Northwest Army is now suffering from a great loss of vitality, and it is still difficult to defend the northwest gate, and it will not be able to spare troops and horses. And the Northwest Army needs to pass through Liangchuan to get to the capital, and the Liangchuan camp is not a decoration there.

The Southwest Army is different, there are plenty of soldiers and horses, and although it is far away from the capital, there is no barrier like the Liangchuan camp in the middle.

Once Dingguo Gong wants to rebel, it can be said that there is a hundred responses, and those generals of the Southwest Army can send troops without even looking at the military talismans, and the cavalry can approach the capital in less than half a month.

Lu Zhenan's face became solemn, he was not in the southwest, I am afraid that the soldiers will not know what happened when they come to the city.

Zhao Chen didn't pay attention to Lu Zhen'an anymore, he knew that this person was meticulous and thoughtful, as long as he gave him a little guidance, Lu Zhenan himself would be able to make up for what he didn't say.

Zhao Chen was worried about the queen.

In the past two days, there has been no movement in Kunning Palace, I am afraid that the queen has not woken up yet. I should have taken the second pill today. Remove the test pill, and all three should be used up.

If you are not awake...... King Jin doesn't necessarily have any remaining pills in his place - even if there are leftovers, after the poisoning incident in Ling'an Temple, King Jin can't say that he has to leave a few pills in his hand in case of emergency.

No one knows better than him how much he longs for a mother.

Youning once told him that she could still smell her mother's scent of the swaddling clothes her mother sewed for her.

It's very gentle and fragrant. It's been more than ten years, even the flowers have long lost their color and fragrance, what can be left on the swaddling clothes.

Youning also asked him to draw a portrait of her mother in her image, and she caressed the portrait for a long time, "Mother, how good it would be if you lived."

Later, the portrait followed her into the prince's mansion, and even if she couldn't see it, she often stared at the portrait in a daze.

Zhao Chen stayed at the gate of the palace until dusk, and was just about to leave, when suddenly there was a faint movement within the palace walls.

The doctors were chaotic in their footsteps, whispering as if with suppressed joy.

Zhao Chen breathed a sigh of relief and continued to guard at the palace gate.

Soon, the palace door opened, and Mai Dong came out, although her expression was calm, her eyes were shining.

She handed a slip in her hand to Wu Jian, "I'm tired of Manager Wu telling the imperial dining room to make some food."

Wu Jian's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly said, "Okay, good! The miscellaneous family will go and command!" With that, the man walked away briskly with small steps.

Mai Dong raised his eyes and glanced at Zhao Chen, blessed his body, and then turned around and closed the palace door.

Zhao Chen slowly clenched his fists, and the queen woke up.

Not long after the previous queen recovered from her serious illness, it was a bloody battle.

Mai Dong walked quickly to the side hall, scooped a bucket of hot water from the cauldron of boiling water, and carried it back to the dormitory.

On the wide and luxurious golden silk nanmu stepping bed, the queen's face was pale and her eyes were closed.

Emperor Qingming's face was full of joy, he sat on the edge of the bed and leaned over to look at her, and shouted cautiously, "A-Yao? Would you like water?"

The emperor opened his eyes weakly, but he didn't seem to be able to hold on, and he closed his eyes again, and did not reply to him a word.

Emperor Qingming turned around and asked the imperial doctor behind him, "The queen can hear it, why can't she speak?"

The two imperial doctors who were guarding the hall knelt down, "Back to the emperor, the queen mother has not eaten for many days, and it is inevitable that she will be weak, and the pill is to forcibly replenish yang qi and stimulate the body, it will take time to recuperate."

Emperor Qingming's eyes were cold, and he stared at the imperial doctor who replied, "You should thank the pill for forcibly replenishing yang qi to pull the queen back, and you should carefully consider the next prescription for recuperation, and there must be no mistakes."

"Obey."

The doctors trembled, and they should have been.

Mai Dong carried the basin to the bedside, blessed himself and said, "Your Majesty, the warm water is adjusted, and the slave maid will help Niangniang clean her face first."

Emperor Qingming reined in his might, "Go down."

The doctors trembled and retreated.

Emperor Qingming motioned for Mai Dong to put the basin on the shelf next to the Babu bed.

He didn't let Mai Dong do it, but did it himself, wet the handkerchief and wrung it out again, leaned over and said softly, "Ah Yao, wipe your face."

As he spoke, the veil was gently applied to the queen's face.

The queen's body trembled, she turned her face away from his hand, and opened her eyes to look at him, her eyes full of horror and confusion.

"Who are you?"
