"Queen Mother, what should we do now?" Nanny Li also panicked.
The Queen Mother took a deep breath and tried her best to calm down: "Let Prince Qing come in, and then send someone to guard the palace gate."
Everything in the palace changed in an instant.
News of the death of Emperor Lingzhou spread like wildfire, causing chaos among the civil and military officials, but the Queen Mother passed all the responsibilities onto Concubine Mu.
Because Concubine Mu had also visited Emperor Lingzhou, the reason given was that Concubine Mu was filled with hatred and was angry that Emperor Lingzhou had deprived her of her posthumous position, so she deliberately said some irritating words that made Emperor Lingzhou extremely angry and violent.
And died.
…
"The emperor passed away?"
Prime Minister Jiang was a little surprised when he was stopped at the city gate. He did not rush into the city, but lingered outside the city for a long time.
After finding out more about the situation in the capital, he returned to the Prime Minister's Office.
"Prime Minister, the emperor's death will affect us?" Mrs. Jiang could not sit still for a while. She covered her heart with one hand, always feeling that something bad was going to happen.
Prime Minister Jiang reassured: "Don't worry, mother, your son will try his best to protect the Prime Minister's Mansion."
When Mrs. Jiang's mood stabilized, she asked again: "The emperor passed away. Is this throne... King Qing or King Xuan?"
It would be better if it is King Qing, but if it is King Xuan, doesn't that mean Jiang Yunxu is the queen?
Mrs. Jiang was so angry that her teeth itched when she thought of that bitch.
Prime Minister Jiang shook his head. He couldn't say for sure yet. He heard that Chu Xuanzhi's leg had improved.
He was also stationed in Tongzhou City, which was only three or four days away from the capital. If he really wanted to return to the capital to fight, it was still unknown who would win with King Qing.
"It must not be that unfilial son. If she comes back, we won't get anything good to eat. The little bitch is so ruthless that she can even attack her own father..."
"Mother, Princess Showa was summoned to the palace and died in the palace. The Queen Mother did not say anything, but she must have held a grudge in her heart."
Prime Minister Jiang put it bluntly.
Even if she doesn't pursue it now, the Queen Mother will definitely pursue the matter when the time settles down one day.
No matter who ascends the throne, they are all enemies of Prime Minister Jiang's mansion.
"This..." Mrs. Jiang was at a loss and cursed the person who poisoned and murdered her behind her back: "Your Majesty is useless too. Why was he poisoned and murdered, leaving such a mess?"
The death of Emperor Lingzhou was within Sang Lian's control. She took advantage of Emperor Lingzhou's visit to visit her, lit a stick of incense, made poisonous snacks with her own hands, and drank tea soaked in poison.
The portion was just right, and the Emperor of Lingzhou died suddenly without making a sound.
As soon as the man died, Sang Lian immediately spent a lot of money to send a letter to Prime Minister Jiang. There were only two words on it, Prince.
Prime Minister Jiang looked at the word "Prince" and his eyes lit up.
"Who sent this?"
"Hui Xiangye, he is the young eunuch who purchased from the palace. He sent the letter and left."
Prime Minister Jiang's heart was quickened. He probably guessed something, so he immediately summoned his subordinates to urgently discuss countermeasures.
The next day, the news spread like wildfire that the Queen Mother had personally killed the Lingzhou Emperor.
After the Queen Mother heard the news, she was so angry that she yelled: "You bastard, who is spreading rumors behind your back?"
"Queen Mother, please calm down. They are all rumors and are not worth mentioning. The most important thing now is for Prince Qing to ascend the throne as soon as possible. The country cannot live without a king for a day." Nanny Li advised.
The Queen Mother took a deep breath: "The Ai family never wanted Prince Qing to be the emperor, but now that he is sitting on the throne of the emperor at this juncture, doesn't it confirm that the Ai family and Prince Qing have teamed up to murder the emperor? Now is a good time to win the hearts and minds of the people.
We must not let Prince Qing bear a bad reputation."
What she is most taboo about is that there is a Chu Xuanzhi in Tongzhou City!
