Chapter 81: The Empress is Poisoned

In the next few days, Ming Lanying knew what Ye Jielu meant by the first step at that time.

The emperor is not punishing the Ming family on the surface, but behind his back, he makes people pick the thorns of the Ming family everywhere, there is no Ming family in the court in a short period of time, the emperor is really bloodbathing the court this time, the emperor's henchmen list the evidence of the Ming family's crimes collected over the years, and the henchmen of the Ming family who want to pretend to be quails are also dragged out.

The schools and henchmen who backed the Ming family were basically investigated, and they were seriously directly demoted, exiled, confiscated or pressed into prison, the emperor's big move, the Ming boss had to quickly clean up the matter of Ming Jiazhen, hurry up and return to the court, and also made three excerpts in a row, greeting the emperor, describing his innocence, hinting at and warning the emperor with the identity of an old courtier.

Ming Lanying laughed happily when she listened to Ye Juelu's words, this has changed, and Master Ming still thinks that the emperor is the little emperor he used to be.

"How is Ming Jiazhen?"

Ye Jielu took a sip of tea and continued: "Qi Ningshuang tried her best to protect her, and secretly sent her out of the capital at night, she should have been sent to another place, and she will not be able to come back in this life." ”

Ming Lanying smacked her lips, "Qi Ningshuang still cares about her." ”

Hebai sat crookedly on the side and tilted the chair, and said coldly: "Of course, she is biological, and she has been carefully raised for so many years, even if her reputation is completely ruined, it is her own flesh and blood, how can she watch her die in vain." ”

Ming Lanying glanced at her, Hebai didn't grow up with her parents since she was a child, even if the bloodline relatives of the You family recognized her later, but she was treated in general, and she might even have a bad time, after all, how many cold words and cold treatment she had received under the fence, only she knew, otherwise she wouldn't have run to the side to find Ye Jielu alone.

For this stinky girl, Ming Lanying is distressed and headache.

"Qi Ningshuang will definitely not let Ming Jiazhen waste it in vain, and it is estimated that she will try her best to come back." Ming Lanying guessed with years of experience: "Hebai, you go and find out where Ming Jiazhen was sent, and you are arranging for two people to approach her and directly cut off her back road." ”

Hebai stood up excitedly, "Obey!" ”

"Wait." Ye Jielu stopped Hebai, who was about to go out of the window, "Insert the fine work and let Taiyi do it, you can go and find out where the person is going." ”

Hebai immediately understood her brother's thoughts, smiled evilly, and the delicate beauty was a little ruffian, "Okay! ”

After finishing speaking, she slipped through the window, Ming Lanying looked at the open door, and was a little speechless, "Who taught her to go in and out of the window." ”

Ye Juelu: "......" He also has this little problem, but he has changed a lot since becoming the commander of the Praetorian Guard, so it's better not to let the lady know.

Ming Lanying went back to the house to change her clothes, rolled up her sleeves and was busy in the kitchen for a busy day, Tang Ning's caravan set off the day after tomorrow, and she took advantage of these two days to make dry food that was convenient to carry and store.

In addition to going to the court every day, Ye Jielu also has military affairs to be busy, and the secret arrangements in the capital are also under his control, and he hurries to the military camp after the family has finished lunch.

Ming Lanying was busy in the kitchen for a day, packed the dry food before sunset, and asked Steward Wang to carefully send it to the Tang Mansion to hand over to Fengchun.

Steward Wang hurriedly went out with a large bag and a small bag, and as soon as Ming Lanying took a breath, two cuckoos fluttered their wings and brought back terrifying news for her.

Since the last time Ming Lanying used Hai Dongqing to send a message to the side and was impeached without pain, Xiao San rarely went out when it was conspicuous, and it happened that there were two more cuckoos at home, so Ming Lan Ying asked Xiao San to train cuckoos to go outside to find out the news.

The golden eagle in the palace was ordered by Ming Lanying to watch the queen's safety for her, and she couldn't come out at any time, so Xiao San helped her send news to the palace and the golden eagle.

Two cuckoos stood in front of the Minglan warbler, the Minglan warbler sprinkled a handful of small fruits, and the two birds gnawed their heads little by little.

"The thrush of Yongzhou City said that there was a Prince Heng who discussed with his partner and wanted to take the people of Yongzhou City hostage and make your current emperor abdicate."

Ming Lanying couldn't believe it, "How dare Prince Heng?" ”

She never doubted the news they brought back, because they were simple-minded, they were a good channel for sending messages, and with them there, some news would always be the first to know.

The cuckoos shook their heads in unison, "It may be that he wants to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes." ”

Ming Lanying was caught off guard and laughed, "You still know this?" ”

The two cuckoos proudly puffed up their small chests, "The little three taught me." ”

Ming Lanying thought about it carefully and found that it was possible, after all, Ning'er sometimes taught wolf cubs and juniors to read, or read books to them, although they didn't recognize the words, but they would remember the books that Ning'er read, and sometimes when talking to Ming Lanying, a word that the bull's head was not right would come out from time to time.

The sentence "coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes" should have been told to them even by Ning Er when she was reading, and Xiao San's wisdom was first revealed, and it was the most sensitive time, so he wrote it down.

But it is almost the same meaning here, the emperor has the world in mind, and he makes every effort to govern the country and the people, and Prince Heng takes the people of Yongzhou City as an arrow, and he really grasps the emperor's weakness.

However, it is still a bit hanging to let the emperor abdicate directly, after all, the hundred officials in the court are not decorations, and the hundred civil and military officials in the court are divided into four factions, one faction is dedicated to supporting the emperor, one faction is secretly communicating with the Ming family, one faction is the old department of Prince Heng, and the remaining faction is the neutral and clear stream with the least number of people.

Prince Heng dared to hand over the coerced fold, and the emperor's party would definitely scold and accuse Prince Heng of wolf ambition, and begged the emperor to let go of his blood relatives, although he was far away, he would be punished.

The old ministry left by Prince Heng will definitely use the people as a rhetoric to persuade the emperor to use a delaying tactic first, or even more outrageous, to stand on the moral high ground to persuade the emperor to give way.

And although the Ming family's henchmen were uprooted by the emperor during this time, they could not be eradicated for a while while they were dormant in the depths, and they would definitely use their spare strength to help Prince Heng speak at that time, and no matter how dirty his heart was, he would be a-stirring stick for the debate between the two parties.

When the time comes, the three parties will fight, so that the emperor's party and Prince Heng's faction will be almost evenly matched.

Although these are just her guesses, Ming Lanying still sighed twice, the emperor is not good......

In the evening, when Ye Jielu came back, Ming Lanying pulled him to talk quietly in the study for a while, and told him the news that the cuckoo had found first.

Ye Jielu's expression remained unchanged after hearing this, and Ming Lanying asked in surprise, "Do you already know?" ”

Ye Jielu shook his head, "No, I just learned about it when I was scattered, and the news that the eyeliner of Yongzhou City had just come back, Prince Heng wrote a letter asking An to enter Beijing, but the content of the excerpt was to blackmail the emperor into abdicating." ”

Ming Lanying exclaimed, "Can your informant probe so finely?" ”

Ye Jielu snorted, "The nail that took many years to stuff in couldn't be moved easily, and now the news has to be passed on." ”

Ming Lanying hissed, such a terrifying task, what can be done should not be an ordinary person.

"So what are you going to do?"

Ye Jielu said lightly: "Don't worry, the excerpt will take a month to get to the emperor, and it is enough for the emperor to arrange." ”

Hearing that Ye Juelu didn't come up with a plan, Ming Lanying was stunned for a moment, "Don't you help make a plan?" ”

Ye Jielu's eyes were lowered, and his anger was hidden deep in his eyes, "It is the emperor's business to make suggestions, and what I should do is absolute obedience." ”

Ming Lanying looked at him fixedly, Ye Jielu's absolute loyalty to the emperor frightened her, what kind of situation can she achieve in front of supreme power, and there are only brothers in her eyes?

Ming Lanying had to ask the most common question throughout the ages, "If one day, the emperor begins to doubt the sincerity of everyone around him and question your high merits, what will you do?" ”

Ye Jielu raised his eyes and smiled lightly at her, "Don't worry, I have the gold medal and the holy decree of exemption from death given by the emperor himself, if there is really a cunning rabbit to die, the day when the lackeys cook, I will also take you and Ning'er away from the center of right and wrong." ”

Ming Lanying breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that Ye Jielu has also thought about it, then she won't panic, it's better to be prepared than not to be prepared!

Just when Ming Lanying was still waiting for Prince Heng's excerpt to enter Beijing, and then turned the court upside down, something happened in the harem first, and the queen was found to be pregnant.

It also happened to be when the harem concubines got up in the morning once every seven days to ask for peace, and a palace maid bypassed the poison test palace people to poison the queen, and the public was exposed, but fortunately, the queen did not ingest much poison, and the imperial doctor discharged the toxin in time, saved the queen's life, and stabilized the fetus.

The emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation, but the queen's pregnancy could not be hidden, and the concubines in the harem saw it, and the emperor simply did not hide it, generously admitting his preference for the queen, and also widely publicizing it.

"If something happens to the queen's baby, don't want to stay in the harem, a bunch of people can't take care of a queen, what else do I want you to do?"

This is the first time that the emperor has been on the throne for so many years, and he has clearly and domineeringly shown his preference and importance for the queen, so that everyone in the harem can taste it.

But no matter how jealous he was, he didn't dare to attack the queen's first child, which was also the emperor's first son.

The palace maid who poisoned the queen has been raided, and even the mastermind behind the scenes, a little concubine, the concubine of the household lang, was also copied by the emperor of the nine clans, and all the descendants were sentenced to death, and all the side lines were exiled to the wasteland.

The emperor's thunderous methods shocked the former dynasty and the harem, just because the queen was pregnant and almost poisoned, and those who spent their minds also rested.

The household department vacated a position in Langzhong, and it happened to be stuffed by Ye Jielu into a henchman who had just been promoted by the emperor.

Ming Lanying heard the news that Xiao San had just brought back from the palace, and was so frightened that she immediately took Ning'er into the palace.

Ye Jielu was silent for a moment, then turned around and went to the emperor's study to discuss affairs, and waited for the lady by the way.

Ming Lanying hurried to the Queen's Changle Palace with Ning Er, the golden eagle was guarding the queen's palace courtyard, glaring at the palace maids passing by from time to time, even if the palace maids were used to the golden eagle king who appeared from time to time, they couldn't stand the fright of the behemoth, and they hid far away one by one, and Ming Lanying was a little speechless to it.

When the Golden Eagle King saw that she was coming with Ning'er, it was like an employee who was suddenly inspected by the boss, and he flew directly to the roof of the main hall of Changle Palace and shrank up cowardly.

It also remembered that Ming Lanying asked it to protect the queen in the palace, but the queen was almost poisoned, which was its fault, and when she saw Ming Lanying coming, she thought she was coming to settle accounts with it.

"Woman, this time it was the king's carelessness, I didn't expect you mortals to have so many means, this king swears that there will be no next time!"

Ming Lanying knew that it couldn't be blamed for this, it was a big golden eagle and couldn't stay by the queen's side all the time, and it smelled and tested the poison, but she still glared at it speechlessly at its cowardly appearance.

Ming Lanying didn't say anything, and was in a hurry to see the queen first, the Golden Eagle King breathed a sigh of relief and escaped for the time being.

The dignified and gentle queen was still a little weak and half-lying on the couch, and when she saw Ming Lanying coming in, she didn't have the strength to get up, so she stretched out her hand to her from afar.

Ming Lanying kept the rules, and Ning'er saluted first, and the queen hurriedly stepped forward to hold the queen's hand when she spoke.

"Queen Mother, why are your hands so cold? Now that the spring cold has not dissipated, and the mother is still pregnant, why is there no carbon fire in the palace? ”

The queen smiled softly, "It's quite sufficient, I'm going to sweat, but I'm lying down and not moving, and my hands and feet are a little stiff." ”

The palace maid who served the queen explained for her master, "Mrs. Huiye, it is the mother who has just become popular, and the fetal elephant has just stabilized. ”

Ming Lanying was relieved when she heard this, and stretched out her hand to cover her hands for the queen first, "It's been almost four months since the mother's womb, how can it still be popular, what kind of poison is so powerful?" ”

The palace maid pursed her lips, her face was not very good, obviously she was still afraid, "It's a broken intestine grass, fortunately, the imperial doctor comes to the Niangniang Palace every day to ask for peace, this time it just happened to be in the morning, otherwise it will be the distance from the hospital to our Changle Palace, I'm afraid the mother won't be able to hold ......"

Ming Lanying was surprised, and clenched the queen's hand in fear, and the queen helplessly coaxed her and said, "Don't worry, isn't this good in front of you?" ”

Ming Lanying stretched out her hand and stroked the queen's slightly bulging lower abdomen, "Fortunately, His Royal Highness the prince also fought hard and survived, and he will definitely be a blessed little prince in the future." ”

The queen's eyebrows and eyes stretched, and she chuckled and quipped: "As the saying goes, if you don't die in a big disaster, you will have a blessing?" ”

Ming Lanying and the big palace maid hurriedly snorted three times, "My good lady, although this is an auspicious word, it is better to say less." ”

The queen obediently responded and beckoned to Ning'er, "Ning'er come here, do you want to touch the little brother in your aunt's belly?" ”

The queen likes Ning'er, and Ming Lanying is not easy to stop, but she is still afraid that Ning'er's subordinates will not touch her lightly, but fortunately, Ning'er is sensible, and she learned that Ming Lanying stretched out her hand to the side and said with a serious face.

"The little brother in the queen's aunt's belly said that he was fine, let the queen's aunt take good care of herself, and he will be better!"

The heart-warming fairy tale amused a few people, and the queen happily rubbed Ning'er's little bun face.

"Oops! Why does Ning'er seem to have lost a little weight? Why is the small chin coming out? Did you bully Ning'er for not giving him a good meal? ”

The queen pretended to be angry and asked, Ming Lanying couldn't cry or laugh, "How can it!" Niangniang, don't wronged the courtiers, it's Ning'er who has grown taller, and recently followed his aunt to practice martial arts to strengthen her body, and she eats all the food that has grown tall. ”

With Ming Lanying and Ning Er chatting and amusing her, the queen's face was not so pale and weak, and her delicate face regained a little complexion.
