Chapter 62
: I am a noble concubine but I am not in a position of power (36)
At dawn, Qin Wenchang went to court. To his surprise, Prime Minister Ping, who had never been absent from work, took leave today.
"Then I'll give you a note and leave the court if you have nothing to do."
The ministers below were talking about trivial matters, and Qin Wenchang had a headache from the noise.
He has been feeling more and more powerless recently, so much so that he is dozing off a bit now, so since the ministers can't say anything, he should just take a nap for a while.
Under the crown, Qin Wenchang took a nap, his breathing gradually became weak and rapid, and finally he gradually stopped breathing.
"Don't get up, kneel down!" An Zhenping led a group of soldiers to suppress the ministers.
In the midst of the darkness, Prime Minister Ping led a child out from behind.
Ping Weier held onto her exquisite clothes, as if something fell on her shoulders.
Qin Wenchang left quietly like this. Ping Weier was not as disappointed as she had imagined, but instead felt very expectant and calm.
"The emperor suddenly fell ill and died suddenly. There was an oral decree before that he wanted to make the prince Qin Song the prince. He should inherit the throne. Do you have any objections?" Qin Zhi, who was standing nearby, fanned himself with a folding fan.
"You are forcing the palace! Qin Song is not qualified to ascend to the throne!" A minister stood up and spoke righteously.
"Then you go to hell." An Yiran raised the knife and dropped it, and Ping Weier quickly covered little Qin Song's eyes.
"If you don't deal with it quickly, I accidentally bump into the new emperor and take your head." Ping Weier ordered the old eunuch below.
"Yes, yes, yes!" The eunuch held his hat in fear and went outside to find a few waiting young eunuchs to deal with the blood stains.
The Forbidden City is about to change.
"Our Song'er can recite hundreds of poems at the age of three and write lyrics at the age of four. How can we not compare with the late emperor?" Ping Weier was not asking their opinions. She supported Qin Song, who was swaying, step by step.
He walked towards the throne.
"The Yu family has been executed long ago, so let's bury the emperor and Concubine Cheng De together." Ping Weier felt a little happy as she watched Qin Wenchang's body being dragged out.
Qin Wenchang, you owe me this.
After watching this farce, An Yiran was ready to retire, but suddenly remembered that Qin Wenchang died inexplicably, so he stayed to watch Ping Weier handle the follow-up matters.
Ping Weier is still feeling sorry for Liang Chengbi's "secret book" that she hasn't used yet, which is really a pity.
Afterwards, Concubine Yun asked herself to go out of the palace to practice, and Ping Weier also allowed her to lead the practice of Qing Deng Ancient Buddha.
As for Hu Meiren, Kang Fei and other top-notch people, she sent them all to guard the mausoleum.
Afterwards, Ping Weier and An Yiran were finally able to take a nice stroll around the Royal Garden together.
An Yiran called all the children of the An family into the palace to protect Qin Song.
"How did you kill Qin Wenchang? I thought I was going to point a sword at him and force him to abdicate?"
"Didn't you move your hand? What you said was what I originally planned." An Yiran looked at Ping Weier in confusion. Who else could it be if Ping Weier didn't move his hand?
No one wants Qin Wenchang to die so urgently, right? It can't be little Qin Song?
"How did he die?" Ping Weier really thought he died suddenly at first.
"The sides of the cheeks turned blue, as if someone had poisoned them. The dosage was very careful. The toxicity must have been accumulated over time."
"Could it be?" Ping Weier looked at An Yiran's pupils and said nothing more.
"I won't say anything in the middle of the sentence. You have learned how to say it, Ping Weier. Hurry up!" An Yiran wanted to hear her follow-up.
"I remember that Qin Wenchang has been eating the same thing since I entered the palace, which was the elixir that Qin Zhi gave him. I don't know if it's because of this."
She saw that An Yiran's face was slightly solemn, so she stopped talking. After staying in An's house for a few days, she knew that An Yiran liked Qin Zhi.
Now it seems like she is driving a wedge between the two of them.
