Chapter 136: The Struggle for the Throne 1
Hui Zhi and Lan Xin's faces turned pale, as the empress's personal female officials, they didn't even find out that the empress was poisoned.
"How could the imperial doctor not diagnose it? I'm coming to the hospital of Xuantai Hospital. ”
Hui Zhi immediately got up and prepared to go to Xuanren.
"Hui Zhi, you are too anxious, listen to me."
Ripple stopped with a voice, then got up and took Lan Xin's arm and sat on the edge of the bed.
When Hui Zhi heard this, she stopped, but her brows were furrowed, and she followed the empress's footsteps and walked over together.
"Empress, what have you discovered?"
"You are my personal female officer, I guess you also have some suspicions!"
Ripple asked calmly.
Hui Zhen and Lan Xin glanced at each other, knelt in front of Ripples, buckled their heads on the ground, and said in a trembling voice:
"It's a slave damned! Thinking that the three princesses were all meat that fell from the empress, they should not do such a rebellious thing, so they would occasionally leak some news from the palace to them to reassure them, but I didn't expect them to dare to poison the empress. ”
The two of them have seen a lot of all kinds of dumping (ya), just thinking about who will benefit in the end if the empress is seriously ill, it is not difficult to guess who did it, but they are not sure which of the three princesses is the handiwork.
"When they are older, they all have their own minds, and you don't want our mother and daughter to be separated, but it's a pity that they use your heart of maintenance to do this kind of thing."
Ripple didn't blame the two female officials, after all, they revealed some daily life that had nothing to do with political affairs, but these children took advantage of this to attack her.
"You should carefully check the incense burner and the spices in it just now, and by the way, check the ginseng soup sent by the emperor, don't alarm anyone, if there is a problem, arrange for your henchmen to keep an eye on it, and don't touch them for the time being."
Ripple commanded directly.
"Yes, Empress!"
"You go down first, I'm going to rest for a while."
Ripple arranged a task for the two of them, and sent the two to run errands.
Hui Zhen and Lan Xin still served Ripple and lay down, and then they lightly withdrew from the dormitory.
"Phoenix head!"
Ripple lay on the bed, two words popping out of his mouth.
At this time, a black-clothed female secret guard landed lightly in front of the rippling bed, knelt down on one knee and whispered:
"Damn it! However, his subordinates found no trace of their poisoning. ”
"All things are mutually reinforcing, they found two completely non-toxic things, and let them enter my body in turn, even the imperial doctor will not notice it for a while, your strengths are not here, and it is inevitable that you will be negligent."
"What do you need to do?"
"Arrange for someone to keep an eye on the three princesses' mansions, I want to know the big and small things happening in their mansions."
"Yes, my subordinates will arrange it."
"In addition, go and check whether the secret guards I arranged for the eldest and second princesses have all been loyal to their new masters."
"My subordinates understand! What if they were already on the side of the princess? ”
The phoenix lowered his eyes and asked.
"Then they have to be ready to accept the results of their choices."
Ripple didn't even open his eyes, and said directly.
Feng Shou was shocked when he heard this, the empress had obviously given up on those secret guards.
"Don't try to remind them, if you startle the snake and ruin my whole plan, I just ask!"
"The subordinates don't dare!"
Feng Shou immediately said, her thoughts and concerns were clearly seen by the empress.
After waiting for a while, the empress didn't say anything more, and the phoenix head quietly withdrew from the dormitory.
When he was sure that there was no one in the dormitory, Ripple reopened his eyes, and a fierce color flashed in his eyes.
As the empress of Fengming Kingdom, although she has no major achievements, she has not made any mistakes in state affairs, and she has conscientiously guarded the country laid down by her ancestors, and the bad thing is on her heir.
She has three royal daughters, the eldest princess was born to the imperial husband when she did not inherit the throne, and when she fought her way out of the encirclement with the power of a dark horse, and finally inherited the throne, the empress was worried that she did not have the support of a powerful husband, so she pointed out to her the current imperial husband, and demoted the imperial husband who originally gave birth to the eldest princess to the king, and missed the position of the imperial husband.
The original body was in charge of the government at the beginning, and she was controlled everywhere, and there was no way, plus the Empress Taishang personally issued a phoenix decree, she could only grit her teeth and accept it, but in order to compensate, she named the original princess as the head of the four princes.
The imperial husband has just entered the palace, and he also knows that he will not be able to gain a foothold in the new empress without an heir, and the relationship between the empress and Rong Shijun is much stronger than that of him who joined halfway, so he tried his best to show the difference between himself and Rong Shijun, show his tolerance, and take care of the old people around the empress.
A year after he became the imperial husband, the empress was pregnant, and he was sure that the child was his, so he was relieved, and in the long-awaited birth of the second imperial daughter, the imperial husband was naturally justified in his own side and raised, and since then he has also relied on.
The father of the Three Princesses is a small attendant, and there is no big power behind him, only he is valued by the Empress, so he has the Three Princesses, and when the Empress is an adult, the Empress is promoted to the Virtuous Servant at the end of the Four Servants.
The original body is more restrained, and he is not indulged in love, and with three heirs, he has no more children, but as the princesses grow up, there is some disagreement between the eldest princess and the second princess, and there are constant open and secret fights in private, and both parties have supporters.
The older generation in the court all supported the eldest princess, believing that she was the rightful concubine and the eldest daughter, and the second princess only occupied the position of a concubine because of the will of the empress, and because of the support of the imperial husband behind her, she could compete with the eldest princess.
And some new ministers are supporting the second princess, after all, she is the imperial husband of the empress, and her daughter is naturally a concubine and is qualified to inherit the throne, and the father of the eldest princess is not prosperous, so she can't give the eldest princess too much support.
The root of the bane was buried like this, the two sides came and went, no one refused to admit defeat, and the original body didn't want to kill each other, so he could only keep trying to balance the two sides, but unfortunately as he grew older, the two princesses couldn't hold it anymore and shot at the empress one after another.
These two people are not stupid, they know that if their mother dies violently, it will definitely attract the suspicion of the royal family, so the two of them respectively gave the original body a chronic and non-toxic medicine, the purpose is to make the original body unwell, have no energy to deal with the government affairs, and give power to them.
It's a pity that these two chronic and non-toxic drugs collided together to form a new chronic poison, which began to eat away at the original body, and the imperial doctor didn't notice it at the beginning, and when it was discovered later, it was already powerless.
After knowing the reason for his broken body, the original body directly sent both of them to prison in a fit of anger and disposed of their father's clan.
