Jiang Yunxu nibbled on the rose cake, and the aroma hit her face. It was fragrant and glutinous, sweet but not greasy.
Seeing that she was eating happily, even with a smile on her face, Chu Xuanzhi couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
"This time the emperor is really poisoned."
The poison was not administered by him.
As for who the murderer is behind the scenes, it is unknown.
Jiang Yunxu ate a few pieces and then put them down. He took out a handkerchief and wiped his fingers gently. He thought for a moment: "Only a few people can make the doctors helpless. Maybe they will benefit soon."
Whoever benefits the most is the poisoner.
"Your Majesty, if the emperor dies at this juncture, then whose hands will the throne... fall into?"
Little prince?
The young prince has no offensive power, and Concubine Mu alone is not enough to support the young prince to ascend the throne.
The Queen Mother in the palace is not a good person either.
Surrounded by a group of jackals, tigers and leopards, the little prince was also in a difficult situation.
…
Yizheng Hall
Dozens of imperial doctors gathered in the corridor and whispered to each other, with anxious expressions on their faces. Eunuch Li hesitated and wandered nearby: "Do any of the imperial doctors have any ideas?"
Emperor Lingzhou has been in coma for two full days and has not woken up. Wouldn't it be dangerous if he continues like this?
The leading imperial physician said: "The main cause of the emperor's coma has not yet been found out, so it is difficult to prescribe the right medicine."
"What...what should I do?"
At this time, Concubine Mu walked over with a worried look on her face. Eunuch Li wanted to stop him, but Concubine Mu scolded her with a sharp look and stepped aside knowingly.
"How is the Emperor doing now?"
"Reply to my wife, it's still the same."
Concubine Mu's words reached her throat, but she swallowed them back when her eyes touched the figures of dozens of imperial doctors.
She endured it and asked, "Why haven't the reasons for the emperor's coma been found out yet?"
"Your Majesty, the people from the Taiyuan Hospital have searched the palace inside and outside and the emperor's living and accommodation, but they can't find any clues."
Concubine Mu sneered: "It's so evil. How can the emperor fall into a coma for no reason?"
Even if she loses her temper, there is nothing she can do about it.
She didn't have the final say in the harem. If she wanted to check, there was no one available, so she could only worry on the sidelines.
Unexpectedly, at this time, there was a loud shout outside that the Queen Mother was arriving.
"Who invited the Queen Mother?" Concubine Mu was so angry that she stood up and was about to go deal with it, but she had already walked in slowly.
Unlike the old Queen Mother who was old and still immersed in sorrow a few days ago, she was now wearing a dark purple dress, with an extravagant phoenix hairpin on her temples, and was walking quickly supporting Nanny Li.
"Why, the emperor is critically ill, and he still wants to hide it from the Ai family?" The Queen Mother squinted at Concubine Mu with a sharp look.
In the past, the two of them could not deal with each other, and the Queen Mother disliked her, and now it is even worse.
Concubine Mu was so stared at that her scalp was numb, and she hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "I don't dare, I just don't want to worry the Queen Mother."
"No matter how bad the emperor is, he still calls the Ai family's mother who has been with him for decades. How can the Ai family not be worried?"
The Queen Mother scolded Concubine Mu severely.
Due to the majesty of the Queen Mother, Concubine Mu didn't even have a chance to argue, so she just listened.
"Go out, the Yi family wants to see the emperor alone."
"Queen Mother?" Concubine Mu was shocked.
Unbeknownst to others, her heart was transparent. Not long ago, Emperor Lingzhou imprisoned the Queen Mother and tortured Princess Zhaohe. The two of them were already at odds with each other. Now that Emperor Lingzhou is unconscious, if the Queen Mother wants to retaliate, Emperor Lingzhou will not do anything to her.
There is no way to fight back.
"What, you dare to disobey the Ai family?" The Queen Mother said with an angry face.
Aunt Li took a step forward and said, "Concubine Mu, I happened to hear your Highness crying when I came. Please go and have a look."
At the mention of her grandson, Concubine Mu's expression changed on the spot and she didn't dare to say anything more. She turned around and left in a hurry.
After the people left, Nanny Li very wisely drove away from the waiting area in the palace. Eunuch Li didn't want to leave, and he didn't know what Nanny Li said. In the end, even Eunuch Li bent down and went out to wait.
Seeing that there was no one around, the Queen Mother slowly came to the bed and looked at the unconscious Emperor Lingzhou on the bed, with hatred in her eyes.
"The Queen Mother was still clever and spared that bitch's life in exchange for a chance to fight back."
The Queen Mother curled her lips and sneered. She ordered Yu Gui to murder the Lingzhou Emperor. The effect was surprisingly good.
"Let Dr. Zhou come in."
"yes."
After a while, Imperial Physician Zhou came in and said, "The minister is paying homage to the Queen Mother."
"How is the emperor's condition?"
Doctor Zhou spoke bluntly: "In response to the Queen Mother's words, Your Majesty..."
Before he finished speaking, the person on the bed suddenly vomited blood, curled up, and opened his eyes looking very painful.
The Queen Mother was caught off guard and was splashed with blood, and her purple clothes were dyed with dark red plum blossoms.
"What on earth is going on?" The Queen Mother was stunned.
Doctor Zhou hurriedly stepped forward to feel the pulse of Emperor Lingzhou. As soon as he felt the pulse, he was frightened and turned pale.
"No, the emperor is dying."
Emperor Lingzhou opened his eyes and glared at Imperial Physician Zhou. He wanted to reach out and grab something, but unfortunately he was too weak. He fell forward and fell to the ground with a thud. He stretched out his hand towards the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother frowned.
"You...you have to die a good death!" Emperor Lingzhou was unwilling to give in. Looking back on his life, it was all a conspiracy.
Emperor Lingzhou vomited blood violently, closed his eyes and died.
Doctor Zhou ignored the panic and hurried forward to check. As soon as he stretched out his hand to touch it, he was frightened and screamed: "The emperor has passed away."
Even the Queen Mother did not expect this scene.
She indeed wanted to kill the Lingzhou Emperor, but now was not the time. She came to visit him in full view of everyone, but as soon as she came in, the man behind him was poisoned and died.
How can she explain this to the civil and military officials and the people?
