The queen was lying on her couch, her lips purple, and she was no longer breathing.

The servants in the palace knelt on the ground.

As for how she died, it didn't take the doctor to come, and the minions had a judgment, it was she who drank a bowl of tea, and went to rest halfway through it, feeling very sleepy, and this was a few hours ago.

The person who cooked this bowl of tea was the eunuch Xiao Chengzi, and now the house is empty.

Only the cold corpse of the queen remained.

Looking at the female corpse, Qin Chuan was stunned for a while, only Zhou Dewei could do about this matter, but he couldn't come up with evidence.

Yesterday, there was just a palace change, the queen was grounded by Qin Chuan, and today the person died, and everyone would think that Qin Chuan deliberately poisoned the queen to kill him, and this matter could not be washed away by jumping into the Yellow River.

Yao Cheng: "Your Highness? Your Highness? ”

"It's okay to be alone...... The queen was poisoned, and sooner or later everyone will know about it, and it can't be hidden, so make it public. ”

"However, now that they are in a hurry to make it public, those people in the court will definitely use this to talk nonsense, so that even people outside the capital will know, and those vassal kings ......"

Vassal King!

Qin Chuan looked at Yao Cheng vigilantly: "You said the vassal king?!" ”

"Humble ...... Humble and unspeakable. ”

did not lose his mouth, but reminded Qin Chuan.

Zhou Dewei is so scheming, how can it be just to let the ministers of the DPRK and China muddy the waters, his real purpose is to let the Qin vassal king enter Beijing, so that the situation will be turbulent and chaotic!

Zhou Dewei, an old thief, has far-reaching intentions, and his purpose turned out to be this.

"Quickly summon Liu Zhongping into the palace!"

After more than an hour, in the Kunning Palace, the idle people and others were excluded, and only Qin Chuan, Liu Zhongping and the eunuch Xiao Jin were left here, and Yao Cheng was guarding outside, and no one was allowed to approach.

The queen was poisoned, and even Liu Zhongping didn't expect Zhou Dewei to have this hand, he was bold and reckless, and he did not leak.

The eunuch Xiao Chengzi ran away, he must not be able to find anyone, and with Zhou Dewei's means, he will definitely be killed.

Qin Chuan: "Duke Liu, the news of the queen's poisoning must have been reported by Zhou Dewei, maybe the queen is not dead yet, he has already sent the news." In a few days, the vassal king will bring troops into Beijing, they are all princes, they are members of the clan, they are the brothers of the first emperor, can the people of the Nine Gate Admirals stop them? ”

"Of course it can't be stopped, those few vassal kings, with their own troops, add up to no less than 300,000 horses, plus 400,000 troops outside the city, the capital is extremely difficult to defend......"

Defending is not defending, defending is a loss, and it is giving people a reason to attack the city.

If the 700,000 troops are united, it is enough to raze the capital to the ground, and at that time, it will be difficult to recover.

Li Zhongping's heart was like a knife: "Your Highness, Zhou Dewei's move is too poisonous, just in time for Queen Liu's palace change, and now Qin Buyi is dead again, and no one can contain those vassal kings." ”

If Qin Buyi is still alive, he can deter all those vassal kings with a word, this is the family law of the ancestors, and no one dares to disobey the instructions of Emperor Taizu.

However, the clan is now leaderless, and the vassal king led troops into Beijing in this matter, which is not justified, but it is understandable.

The Great Elder died unexpectedly and tragically, and the Empress was poisoned again, these were their reasons.

Liu Zhongping: "Your Highness, forgive the minister's gaffe." Either of these two reasons allowed the vassal king to enter the capital, and if the empress was poisoned, the vassal king could forcibly abolish the throne without restraint. ”

"They will not establish Gu, nor will they establish Qin Yue, they will divide Great Xia privately, and each will get more military power, money and food."

"Your Highness's words are yes. However, if you want them not to enter Beijing, I am afraid that it is no longer possible. ”

Qin Chuan pondered: "The death of the queen is the reason for them to abolish Lone, if the queen is still alive, they can't do anything to Lone, what do you think?" ”

“……”

In a word, Liu Zhongping was stunned.

How can it be that he is still alive, people—obviously dead, right in front of him.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you? The queen is dead. ”

"Let's calculate the fastest time, even if Zhou Dewei sent the news yesterday, it will take seven days before the vassal king will enter Beijing, which is the fastest. Within these seven days, the idea is to find a person who looks similar to the queen, as long as the resemblance is enough, it is of great use to be alone. ”

Liu Zhongping understood: "Your Highness wants to find someone to replace the queen and hide from the world?" ”

"It's the only way."

"But...... The sea of people is vast, and things are in a hurry, at this time, where to find someone similar to Queen Liu. ”

"Duke Liu, the person we are looking for, as long as it is roughly similar, you can let her pretend to be sick and hide in the deep palace, and the vassal king will not dare to open the queen's bedding directly."

That's right, how can a courtier be so disrespectful to the queen.

Looking at Liu Ning's corpse, Liu Zhongping said: "The queen's body must be burned immediately, and no outsiders should know about it. ”

"No! Killing people is a weak heart, lonely thoughts, after the vassal king enters the palace, Zhou Dewei will also come, if these minions are replaced, can Zhou Dewei not see the clues? At that time, he can test the truth and falsehood as long as he is stimulated by words. No matter what, Xiao Jin will deal with the corpse, Liu Gong should go find someone first. ”

Without further ado, Liu Zhongping set off.

He hadn't taken a few steps before he had already thought of someone: "Your Highness! There is a candidate for the minister now. ”

"Liu Gong, so fast?"

"This person is in the cold palace, he was beaten into the cold palace five years ago, this is not a big matter, so His Highness does not know."

The woman he was talking about was named Liu Qingyan and was Liu Ning's cousin.

When Liu Ning entered the palace as a concubine, Liu Qingyan was a dowry maid and followed all the time, the two were of the same clan and the same clan, and their appearance was very similar.

It is also because of this that when Liu Qingyan served the first emperor and Liu Ning enjoyed the play in the imperial garden, she was favored by the first emperor and directly accepted as a young concubine.

Liu Ning couldn't rub the sand in his eyes, so he made an excuse and sent Liu Qingyan into the cold palace.

This woman has been in the cold palace for a few years, but her mentality is okay, and she doesn't think about looking for death and life.

Instead of going out to find someone, it is better to use her directly to support the façade.

Then steal the beams and change the pillars, dress up the queen's corpse as Liu Qingyan, and die a concubine in the cold palace, no one will make a fuss.

When he arrived at the palace gate, Qin Chuan muttered, "Can it be very similar?" What is the difference between twin sisters? ”

Xiao Jin on the side said: "Your Highness, as long as it is generally similar, it is fine." The minion believes that Xiao Chengzi was poisoned, and Zhou Dewei didn't see it with his own eyes, and he himself may not be completely sure that Liu Ning is dead, as long as he gets some allergy powder and applies it to his face, it will be impossible to identify it clearly. ”

"Xiao Banban, your mind is not below Zhou Dewei."
