The Queen Mother was lying on the bed weakly, and she opened her eyes groggily to look outside, and found that there was only one little palace maid guarding the palace, and it was some distance away.

The doors of the temple were closed, and the hall was changed.

The Queen Mother said in a hoarse voice: "Qinglian." ”

The little palace maid hesitated for a moment before taking two steps forward, lowered her head and said, "Back to the Queen Mother, Aunt Qinglian is not in the palace." ”

"Where did she go?" As soon as the Queen Mother frowned and asked, she felt a hot pain in her throat, and her dry stomach was churning, and she said again: "Pour tea." ”

The little palace maid went silently and poured a cup of tea and brought it to the queen mother's bedside, the queen mother struggled to sit up by herself, and the little palace maid tried to reach out and hand over the teacup from a few steps away.

The queen looked gloomily.

"Come closer, can the mourning family eat you?"

The little palace maid hesitated for a moment and stepped forward.

The Queen Mother took the teacup and drank water, and asked the little palace maid to ask the imperial doctor, but the little palace maid said: "When the Queen Mother was asleep, the Imperial Doctor came in and came to see it, saying that the Queen Mother is only weak now, and she can't find any symptoms, and she will be fine for a day or two." ”

The Queen Mother looked at her coldly.

After a moment of silence, he said, "Go and call Qinglian back." ”

"The slave doesn't know where Aunt Qinglian has gone."

"You!"

The Queen Mother was about to lose her temper, looking at the little palace maid who seemed to be respectful but actually turned a blind eye to her orders, a bad premonition suddenly rose in her heart.

She glanced at the little palace maid, then at the teacup in her hand, and slammed the teacup to the ground.

There was a loud cracking sound, and there was still no movement outside the hall.

Except for this little palace maid, there seems to be no one inside or outside the palace.

The Queen Mother looked at the little palace maid, lifted the quilt and was about to go outside.

Before her feet fell to the ground, Qinglian came in from outside the hall, and when she saw the Queen Mother's Mo Yang, she stepped forward unhurriedly and stopped beside the little palace maid: "Queen Mother, you have to rest in bed now, just tell the slave maid if you have something." ”

The Queen Mother looked at the little palace maid on the side.

Qinglian gave a look, and the little palace maid immediately lowered her head and retreated.

As soon as the little palace maid left, the Queen Mother immediately said to Qinglian in a responsible tone: "Where have you been?" What's going on out there now? Did Ling Xuan cause any trouble after he died? ”

"Also, why did the mourning family suddenly feel that their minds were unclear, as if there was something weighing thousands of pounds, and suddenly they were so sick that they called Taiyi Li from the Tai Hospital, and the rest of the Tai Doctor Mourning family didn't believe it!"

Qinglian bowed her head and said: "Queen Mother, Imperial Doctor Li resigned this morning due to old age and returned to his hometown, and the emperor has already agreed." ”

"Impossible!" The Queen Mother frowned: "Imperial Doctor Li is a member of the mourning family, how can he leave directly without telling the mourning family?" ”

Speaking of this, the Queen Mother suddenly noticed that Qinglian's tone was wrong, she looked at Qinglian and found that Qinglian even had a faint smile on her face.

The Queen Mother was shocked: "You ......"

"You're not Qinglian! Who are you! ”

Qinglian said with a smile: "Queen Mother, I am indeed not Qinglian, the real Qinglian colluded with the Liu family, besieged the Jiu'an Palace in the name of the Queen Mother, tried to kill the King of Jiu'an first, and then forced the palace to rebel, together with the head of the Liu family has been taken down and imprisoned in Dali Temple." ”

The sudden news made the shocked Queen Mother unable to return to her senses for a while.

The hall was empty, only the person in front of him who pretended to be Qinglian.

The Queen Mother only felt a chill in her back.

After a long time, the Queen Mother calmed down and stared at the person in front of her: "Are you here to kill the mourning family?" ”

"The Queen Mother is serious, you are the emperor's mother-in-law, who dares to do it to you easily? I'm just here to tell you that the people of the Liu family and Qinglian are still in Dali Temple, and the emperor is merciful and can't bear to kill the Queen Mother's family, so this matter is for the Queen Mother to decide, and the Queen Mother can make the decision to release this rebel who colluded to force the palace to rebel, and the emperor will not have a word of unwillingness. ”

The Queen Mother sneered.

How could the emperor be so kind?

It is clear that she grabbed the Liu family in her hands and forced her to choose between the Liu family and herself.

If she chooses the Liu family, then she will definitely be charged with trying to usurp the throne, Qinglian is originally the person next to her, once she comes forward, how will the world view her?

And once the charge of rebellion is placed on her body, she will not be able to break free no matter what, and then the emperor only needs to make a little arrangement, and she, the queen mother, can die in vain.

If she doesn't choose the Liu family, she will break her wings alive.

The forces cultivated by the Liu family outside the palace have always been her confidence, and if she gives up these, she will definitely be greatly damaged.

The Queen Mother gritted her teeth with hatred in her heart, but looking at the person pretending to be Qinglian in front of her, she raised her head arrogantly: "The emperor sent you, that's what you mean?"

Immediately, the Queen Mother sneered: "The emperor doesn't take the mourning family too seriously, and he actually thinks that such a small plan can make the mourning family believe." If you let the people in the court know, I am afraid that it will be the emperor himself who will not be able to come down. ”

"What did the Queen Mother say?"

Qinglian smiled:

"The Queen Mother's illness is entirely because of demons."

The Queen Mother's eyes flashed, and she looked at Qinglian fiercely.

Qinglian continued: "This morning, Qin Tianjian Zheng envoy Ling Xuan came forward to explain the celestial phenomenon that the previous deputy envoy had seen wrongly, and now there is indeed a person in the palace who is haunted by demons and evils, but this person is not the queen, but someone else, and this person will definitely be riddled with evil diseases because of his contamination with demons. ”

Qinglian's smile became more and more obvious: "Isn't this the reason why the Queen Mother suddenly fell ill, but even the imperial doctor couldn't diagnose it?" ”

"Ling Xuan is not dead!"

The Queen Mother's heart became more and more uncalm, the things she had arranged before were all within the emperor's calculations, and she also united with Ling Xuan to push this demonic thing onto her, trying to make her die in this matter.

The Queen Mother's chest rose and fell violently, and she was about to stand up by holding on to the edge of the bed, but she felt that it was dark in front of her and sat back down

She pointed at Qinglian and didn't say a complete sentence for a long time.

Suddenly, the Queen Mother fell straight back.

Qinglian immediately stepped forward and made sure that the Queen Mother had just fainted and was not in danger of her life.

He didn't move the Queen Mother, turned around and walked out of the inner hall.

called the little palace maid over: "The queen mother fainted, go and ask the imperial doctor to come over." ”

The emperor didn't say that the queen mother would die now, if the queen mother was angry with him here, even if the prince came, he probably wouldn't be able to save her.

The little palace maid answered the call and went.

Qinglian left directly from the palace at this time.

As soon as he left the palace gate, he took off his disguise and returned to the Jiu'an Palace, where Li Yan happened to be still here, so he reported to Li Yan about the current situation of the Queen Mother.
