Chapter 47 Internal and External Troubles

Suddenly asked why the queen had a miscarriage, Imperial Doctor Gong knelt on the side, his face was a little embarrassed, if he wanted to tell the truth, Guo Qiuyue would definitely not forgive him, Concubine Xiao's reminder to him was still vivid, if he didn't tell the truth and conceal the matter, he was afraid that after the Queen Mother found out the truth in the future, his head would not be protected.

Seeing that Imperial Doctor Gong was a little hesitant, the Queen Mother immediately said angrily: "Imperial Doctor Gong has something unspeakable?

Imperial Doctor Gong came back to his senses and hurriedly said: "Too, the Queen Mother, the queen's miscarriage was indeed caused by being poisoned, according to the minister's diagnosis, the queen took the grapes paid tribute by the envoys of the Western Regions, which caused the unfortunate death of the prince." ”

Hearing this, the Queen Mother was a little puzzled and said, "Grapes?" Then she looked at Queen Han Xueruo and said, "Ruo'er, but have you eaten the grapes paid tribute by the envoys of the Western Regions recently?"

Queen Han Xueruo nodded and said, "Queen Mother, Erchen has indeed eaten. ”

After thinking for a moment, the Queen Mother said: "Could it be that it is the envoy of the Western Regions, who wants to poison my dragon grandson? ”

When Empress Han Xueruo heard this, she was a little frightened in her heart, and hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, you must not just listen to Imperial Doctor Gong's words in this matter, and you must ask the envoy of the Western Regions Xingshi. ”

"The country of Turkey borders the border of our country in the east to the north, and there are disputes with our country. If the envoy is killed, I am afraid that the country of Turkey will definitely meet with our soldiers. The stability of Dongsheng Kingdom is not easy to come by, and the queen mother still needs to think twice!"

The Queen Mother didn't think so, for the country of the earth. didn't pay attention to it at all, so he said: "Little Tufang Country, is it still that my Dongsheng Kingdom is still afraid of him, they have often harassed my frontier over the years, and it is time to give them some color." ”

The queen was worried, the envoys from the Western Regions came to pay tribute, which showed that they had a good sign of reconciliation with the Dongsheng Kingdom, and there was no reason for the envoys from the Western Regions to risk killing their heads, and they came to the Dongsheng Kingdom to poison the dragon son thousands of miles away.

This matter was definitely not what Imperial Doctor Gong said, he must not have told the truth, so he said: "Queen Mother, although the country of Turkey is a small country, there is nothing to be afraid of. It's just that Imperial Doctor Gong's words may not be credible, and His Majesty has built a lot of buildings, and Dongsheng Country has been suffering from natural disasters for many years. ”

Seeing this scene, Imperial Doctor Gong hurriedly kowtowed and said: "Queen Mother, Weichen will never dare to deceive, the queen did eat the grapes paid tribute by the envoy of the Western Regions before she had a miscarriage." Weichen didn't dare to lie at all, so please let the Queen Mother know about it. ”

The Queen Mother glanced at Imperial Doctor Gong who looked nervous and said, "You don't dare to measure the old body, since the reason is known, you can retreat first!" Then the Queen Mother waved her hand and motioned for Imperial Doctor Gong to retreat.

Seeing this, Imperial Doctor Gong hurriedly said, "Minister, the minister retires." ”

After Imperial Physician Gong left, the queen still felt that this matter was definitely not what Imperial Physician Gong said, so she said: "Queen Mother, Erchen thinks that the envoy of the Western Regions will never poison the heart of the dragon son, and there must be a misunderstanding. The queen mother must not just listen to Imperial Doctor Gong's words and ask the messenger for sin. lest it become a big mistake afterwards. ”

The Queen Mother was a little displeased when she heard this: "Misunderstanding? How can there be a misunderstanding? The earthwork country has always been arrogant and domineering, and there is friction with my Dongsheng country from time to time, they have long been peeping at my Dongsheng country, I think they came to pay tribute this time, it is a long-planned plan, if you don't teach them a lesson this time, how can I come to the majesty of my Dongsheng country." ”

Although the empress did not know the purpose of sending the envoy to pay tribute this time, she thought that the envoy could not be beheaded under any circumstances, and if the envoy was killed, the stability of the Dongsheng Kingdom would probably set off a bloody storm again. At that time, Dongsheng was worried about domestic and foreign troubles, which was in line with the meaning of the national teacher and Guo Qiuyue.

This is not what the queen wants to see, the dragon in the belly. It must have been Guo Qiuyue's doing, although she persuaded Her Majesty to pardon Concubine Hua, it does not mean that Guo Qiuyue is not suspected of poisoning the dragon in her abdomen.

After listening to the Queen Mother's words, the queen hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, this matter should be investigated in the future, and then a decision will be made! ”

The Queen Mother patted the queen on the shoulder and smiled: "Ruo'er! You must have too much prejudice against Guo Qiuyue, so you always thought that she harmed my dragon grandson. ”

"Ruo'er, you are not in good health, so you have a better rest. The queen mother will come to visit you another day, and the queen mother will definitely find out about this matter, whether this matter has anything to do with the messenger or not, the majesty of the Dongsheng Kingdom cannot be lost. If you want to blame it, the envoy was unlucky and became a victim of this attack on the country of Hijikata. ”

Then the Queen Mother got up, glanced at Yulan on the side and said, "Take care of Ruo'er." Magnolia hurriedly saluted: "Slave and maid, remember." ”

The Queen Mother nodded and turned away. Accompanied by the slaves and maids, she left Qingning Palace, but the queen was worried. The Queen Mother knows a thing or two. The country of Turkey really harassed the frontier of the Dongsheng Kingdom, and this time the Queen Mother decided to kill the envoy.

Its purpose also refers to something else, although the national strength of Dongsheng is strong, but it can be a natural disaster for many years, and Emperor Wuwei has built a lot of construction, working the people and losing money. The treasury is empty, and it is not a good thing to have to meet with the soldiers of the Turkish state at this moment.

Guo Qiuyue and the national teacher have become a disaster in this deep palace. If the Dongsheng Kingdom regenerates incidents with the outside world, it will not be the destruction of the country. Although he persuaded the Queen Mother not to kill the envoys. Judging by the attitude of the Queen Mother, there is no room for maneuver in this matter.

What I can't understand even more is that the Queen Mother actually helped Guo Qiuyue say good things, since Guo Qiuyue was also pregnant with the dragon seed, it is obvious that the Queen Mother's attitude towards her has also changed. This made the queen even more disappointed, and wanted to get rid of Guo Qiuyue, but there was not enough evidence for a while.

The only hope is Zhu Shenchu, but he has become a waste. has been crazy all day long, and there is little hope of getting the evidence from his mouth that Guo Qiuyue poisoned Longzi.

She lost her beloved son, and the more she thought about it at the moment, the more heartbroken she became. She felt more and more how pale she was in the face of all this. Sitting on the bed, her eyes were blank, she sighed helplessly, and said to herself: "Isn't there anyone who can fight her?"

At this time, the servant suddenly came to the queen's bed and said, "Queen, Concubine Hua asks to see you." ”

As soon as she heard Concubine Hua, the queen suddenly came to her senses, and said with a happy face: "Hurry, please." ”

The servant saluted, "Yes, Queen." ”

After a while, Concubine Hua came to the queen's bed, saw the queen with a decadent face, and said with some unbearable concern: "Sister, is your body better?"

The queen sat on the bed and waved her hand, "Sister, come and sit here." ”

Concubine Hua came to the queen and sat down, holding the queen's hand tightly, there was an indescribable sadness in her heart, she already knew about the queen's miscarriage. Seeing the tears on the queen's haggard face, she felt even more sore in her heart: "Sister, this matter has come out, don't be sad anymore." You must cheer up, my sister is really worried about my sister!"

The queen tried to squeeze out a little smile and said, "Sister, as long as you are fine, my sister will rest assured." Your sister is really worried that you will be taken to the execution table, and my sister can come back today without incident, which really makes my sister happy. ”

Concubine Hua held the queen's hand tightly, looked at the queen with some gratitude, and said, "My sister is fine today, thanks to my sister's rescue." My sister will be a cow and a horse in the future, and she will repay her sister for saving her life. ”

The queen shook her head helplessly, looking a little ashamed and said: "Don't hide it from my sister, my sister is not the credit of this palace for being okay today, my sister may not believe it, my sister was pardoned because Guo Qiuyue pleaded in front of His Majesty, and my sister was safe and secure to save her life." ”

As soon as she heard this, Concubine Hua was surprised, she never thought that she was saved by Guo Qiuyue, she really couldn't understand why Guo Qiuyue would save herself, Guo Qiuyue couldn't wait to die by herself, she must not have a good heart in the eyes of Concubine Hua.

So he sighed and said, "Alas, I'm afraid Guo Qiuyue is not so kind, she must have more vicious means to do this." I'm okay today, it doesn't seem like a blessing, and it seems that I need to be wary of her in the future. ”

The queen nodded in agreement, Guo Qiuyue was indeed insidious and cunning. No matter what she does, she is unguardable, and it is even more incomprehensible that she suddenly rescued Concubine Hua this time.

She has had a miscarriage, except for Guo Qiuyue, this matter must not be someone else, Concubine Hua can be saved by her. With her own understanding of Guo Qiuyue, she was by no means kind, so she said: "What my sister said is very true, Guo Qiuyue's work has always been incomprehensible, how can she have the kindness to save her sister, the dragon in the womb of this palace must have been done by her, this palace must find out this matter and break Guo Qiuyue's body into ten thousand pieces." ”

After that, the queen clenched her fists, her eyes showed incomparable anger, she hated Queen Guo Qiuyue to the core, and the hatred for her beloved son was getting deeper and deeper, but the queen really didn't know how to fight with Guo Qiuyue.

A wave of unsettled waves, who poisoned their dragon has not been thoroughly investigated, and it is about to lead to a greater disaster, because of the words of Imperial Doctor Gong, the Queen Mother decided to kill the envoy of the Western Regions.

No matter what the queen mother's purpose is, in her opinion, this is a sign of the decline of the Dongsheng country, and the queen mother also has her reasons for doing this, the earthy country has been harassing the frontier and not having peace, and the consequences of killing their envoys will be a war, which the queen mother is not unclear about.

It just so happened that she lost her dragon grandson again, and the anger in her heart increased suddenly, at this moment she had been disoriented by anger, coupled with the words of Imperial Doctor Gong, she hated the earthwork country even more, and strengthened her determination to crusade against the earthwork country.

Now internal and external troubles are what the queen is most worried about, if there is a war, I don't know what means Guo Qiuyue and the national teacher will use from it, and how many innocent people will be killed.

The more I thought about the queen, the more I felt that she was really powerless, looking at the queen's worried look, Concubine Hua said: "Sister, no matter what Guo Qiuyue's purpose is, we can't fall, revenge still needs to wait for an opportunity, sister must cheer up, so as to find an opportunity to get rid of her in the future." ”

The queen nodded and said: "What my sister said is extremely true, my sister is most worried about the safety of this Dongsheng country, my sister may not know that Imperial Doctor Gong blamed the envoy of the Western Regions for the miscarriage of the dragon son in this palace." ”

When the queen mother heard this, she was very angry and sent someone to arrest the envoy of the Western Regions. The queen mother is going to use this incident to kill the envoy of the Western Regions, and the palace is worried that because of this, the Turkish Congress will further disturb the northwest frontier of my Dongsheng Kingdom, and maybe the Dongsheng Kingdom will never have peace again!"

Concubine Hua's eyes widened when she heard this, and she shouted out in disbelief: "Ah? How could the envoy of the Western Regions poison the dragon in the queen's womb? Although there is not enough evidence to prove that this matter was done by Guo Qiuyue, everyone with a discerning eye knows that she is the culprit, why would Imperial Doctor Gong say that it was the envoy of the Western Regions, and what is his purpose?"

"Sister, I don't think this matter is simple, maybe Imperial Doctor Gong was coerced by others to do this. Could it be Guo Qiuyue? She knew that her sister would suspect her, so she coerced Imperial Doctor Gong to tell a lie in order to get rid of her suspicion?"

After hearing this, the queen also felt that what Concubine Hua said was reasonable, if Imperial Doctor Gong lied, he must be forced to be helpless, and the only person who could force him to lie was Guo Qiuyue. She rescued Concubine Hua and coerced Imperial Doctor Gong to lie, was her purpose just to get rid of her suspicion? Obviously, it was not so simple.

Maybe she has a bigger conspiracy, if so. It is even more necessary to prevent the Queen Mother from killing the envoy of the Western Regions, in case she falls for Guo Qiuyue, so the Queen said: "I think this matter is not just that Guo Qiuyue wants to get rid of her suspicion, she must have a more vicious plan to do so, the Queen Mother has completely disobeyed the persuasion at the moment, what should I do?"

Speaking of this queen, she was obviously a little anxious, but in the face of the queen mother's choice, she looked pale and powerless, she knew the queen mother's personality very well, and she said nothing. It is more difficult for her to compromise than to ascend to the sky, if the Queen Mother kills the envoy, not only because she listened to the words of Imperial Doctor Gong, but more importantly, she has always attached great importance to the majesty of Dongsheng Kingdom.

The main purpose of killing the Queen Mother is to deter the Earth Country, if it really attracts the dissatisfaction of the Earth Country, the Queen Mother will not worry, after all, the Dongsheng Country is a strong country, and the small Earth Country has indeed not been taken into account.

This makes it more difficult for the Queen Mother to change her mind, which should be good. So the queen said with a sad face, Concubine Hua looked at the queen and sighed a little, Concubine Hua comforted: "Sister don't worry too much, sister thinks this is also a good thing, and it is also an opportunity for us." ”

After hearing this, the queen looked puzzled and said: "Oh, why did my sister say that? The queen mother killed the envoy of the earthfang country, which must cause the border of Dongsheng country to vibrate and be uneasy, where is the opportunity, what is the good thing?"

Concubine Hua showed a hint of pride on her face and said, "Sister, if the frontier is chaotic, if Your Majesty sends troops to suppress it, who will you choose?"

The queen thought for a while and said: "The general of Dongsheng Kingdom, the most competent to crusade against the earthwork country is naturally Xiangguo's student He Bin, he has followed Xiangguo for many years, and has made countless achievements in the southern and northern wars. ”

Concubine Hua nodded and said: "What my sister said is extremely true, since He Bin is a student of Xiangguo, he is naturally angry about Xiangguo's murder, who does he hate the most? Naturally, it is Guo Qiuyue." If he takes control of the military again, we can make friends with him and discuss a strategy to eliminate Guo Qiuyue. ”

"He Bin is gone, with heavy troops in his hands. If he becomes one of our people, plus the 300,000 army in the hands of the queen's father. Half of the military power in this world has been controlled by us, and we will have more confidence to fight with Guo Qiuyue at that time, and if Your Majesty protects Guo Qiuyue again, we must also weigh the consequences. ”

"Isn't this a good thing? Isn't it an opportunity, sister?"

As soon as she heard this, the queen was scared into a cold sweat, and what Concubine Hua said was hidden outside her words, not only to get rid of Guo Qiuyue, but to threaten Emperor Wu Wei to compromise with military power, which was to rebel.

The queen suddenly felt a chill on her back, and said in panic: "Ah, my sister's words want me to rebel and openly provoke His Majesty's authority? ”
