Changling looked up, and the sun was rising in the sky, as if with a layer of blood.
A chamberlain hurried over, approached and whispered: "Princess, the medical officer has something urgent to see you."
Changling left the military camp. The medical officer responsible for diagnosing and treating the emperor was waiting, and behind him were two servants monitoring him.
"What's the matter?"
The medical officer whispered: "Princess, Your Majesty's condition, I don't think it can be cured." He looked at Changling with worries in his eyes.
"Tell me, I'll make sure you're fine!"
The medical officer sighed, "If you can't fix it, it will be poisoning!"
Changling looked at the bloody rising sun, "Is there any evidence?"
"I dare not say anything because there is no evidence." The medical officer said: "Your Majesty's condition is weird, including diarrhea, headache, insomnia, and bad temper. It ranges from mild to severe, but there is no cure."
"You mean, you waited for the medicine to be used, but it never had any effect?" Changling was startled.
The medical officer nodded, "To be honest, I have been practicing medicine all my life, and this kind of medicine has no effect. Unless it is a terminal illness. But even if it is a terminal illness, medicine can relieve it. Your Majesty's disease is completely useless.
I am incompetent, but other colleagues are also incompetent? This can’t be true! In addition, His Majesty’s symptoms are strange. I spent the whole night thinking about His Majesty’s condition and felt that it was clearly poisoned!”
He Lianyan squinted her eyes, looked at the prince waiting for her in front, and asked, "Who is most likely?"
The medical officer smiled bitterly, "I don't know what kind of poison your Majesty was poisoned by."
If you don’t even know the type of poison, how do you know how to poison it?
Changling nodded, "I understand."
The streets were deserted, with only sergeants on patrol.
Changling watched this scene in the carriage, and somehow he thought of the moment when the late emperor's coffin returned.
At that moment, I could feel the sadness of the people. Thinking about it now, I felt more confused and anxious about the future.
The emperor has gone.
Whether the successor is good or bad, wise or foolish, God knows.
Wang Ju was waiting for her outside the palace.
"Everything in the palace is ready."
Wang Ju saluted the prince.
Later, this person should ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.
Then he entered the palace. On the way, Changling said to Wang Ju: "The medical officer reported that Emperor Daxing's illness seems to be poisoning!"
Wang Ju was startled, "Lin Ya!"
This was a subconscious reaction. Changling nodded, "The only one who wants to kill Emperor Daxing is Lin Ya. But Emperor Daxing is surrounded by his own people, who can poison him?"
"Strict investigation is required!" Wang Ju's eyes were cold, "Otherwise the eldest princess will be in danger in the palace!"
If that person could poison the emperor, he could also poison Changling.
And the prince!
Wang Ju glanced at the prince in front of him and thought that if the prince was poisoned and fell down, the Liao Dynasty would have no choice but to fall apart.
"Pay attention to this!"
"I know."
Changling will be very busy after that - the new emperor ascends the throne, and according to the imperial edict of Emperor Daxing, she will listen to politics behind the curtain.
What will happen to Lin Ya?
How to straighten out government affairs?
How to win over those ministers?
This is an internal matter.
There is something more terrible
Yanzhou and Cangzhou were lost, and only Jiangzhou remained before Ningxing.
Daliao has never been so critical.
Internal and external troubles!
It only takes a few years.
"Princess, be careful!" Wang Ju looked at the young woman with some distress. "There are many crises at the moment. If you make one wrong move, you will be doomed."
"This crisis was already planted during the time of the late emperor!" Changling said: "When the northern frontier turned from defense to attack, everyone was laughing, laughing at their overestimation of their capabilities. When the northern frontier was in a state of overwhelming power, everyone panicked.
.Only then did I realize that Daliao was already Wen Tian and Wu Xi."
Wang Ju sighed, "In the past few years, the power of Daliao has become worse and worse."
"Do you know who it is?" Changling asked.
Wang Ju nodded.
That person's name came to mind.
Duke of Qin!
Yang Xuan!
Emperor Daxing has been put into the coffin. The clan members are wailing. The queen is sitting next to him, crying every now and then.
The female official next to her whispered something, and the queen looked up and saw Chang Ling and the prince, her eyes suddenly changed.
"Prince!" the queen's voice was sharp, "come to me."
The prince took a step, then stopped and looked back at Changling.
Changling said: "Your Highness, go and learn etiquette!"
"Yes!" The prince was very obedient.
"Prince!" The queen stood up, her eyes almost brimming with fire.
The prince saluted the queen and then went out.
The queen came over and said in a low voice: "You are really good at bewitching the king!"
"I'm crying for you!" Changling said coldly.
"The so-called hanging curtain must mean that Emperor Daxing was unconscious before he left." The queen stared at Changling.
"Don't cause trouble!" Changling looked at her, "Don't cause trouble for the prince!"
The prince's obedience should be related to Emperor Daxing's explanation. As for what he explained, Changling can roughly tell.
The current situation is complicated and the Queen jumps out again, which is a headache.
"I'm watching you!"
The queen took one last look at Changling.
Changling's eyes turned, "Where is Xu Fu?"
A chamberlain said: "He went out earlier."
"Get it!"
The medical officer said that Emperor Daxing might have been poisoned. As a person close to Emperor Daxing, Xu Fu should be able to recall carefully how he was poisoned. He should be able to gain something.
"yes!"
Changling looked at Emperor Daxing in the coffin and at the clan members.
An old man stood by the side, not crying, with a calm expression, as if he was an outsider.
"King Lianjiang!"
The old man raised his head and nodded, "Princess!"
The old man is Heliantong, the king of Daliao Lianjiang.
Changling pointed outside, and the two of them went out one after another.
There are constant visits from the maids and maids outside. The Emperor Daxing has stopped here, and all the officials and clans have to mourn for a long time and have to prepare a lot of things.
The prince is about to ascend the throne and needs more things.
"Very busy." Changling sighed.
Heliantong remained silent.
"The prince is young and lacks prestige. Emperor Daxing asked me to close the curtain. To be honest, this situation makes me uneasy. Emperor Daxing originally shook hands with Lin Ya and made peace, but with his passing, Lin Ya's ambitions have become stronger again. What can I do?
?We can only confront him tit for tat in the DPRK. This is an internal matter.
The external situation is more dangerous. There are many crises in Daliao at present. Not to mention the Shegu people, Yang Xuan is eyeing Jiangzhou. Once Emperor Daxing leaves, I am worried that the Jiangzhou army will be in chaos. If it is defeated by Yang Xuan,
Jiangzhou, given the current situation in Ningxing, how long does the king think Ningxing can defend it?"
Heliantong coughed dryly and said, "If Lin Ya is not here, the soldiers will win. If Lin Ya is here, we have to guard against him to defend the northern border. There is no way to fight."
"Look, as soon as you said this, I felt confident." Changling smiled and said: "I want to invite you to Jiangzhou to take over the overall situation in the south."
"The eldest princess is not afraid of my rebellion?" He Liantong's eyes were calm.
"Da Liao is like this now. To be honest, if I weren't a clan girl, I wouldn't care what happens to Daliao. If it's destroyed, just destroy it! Aren't we all living the same life anyway?"
"That's interesting!"
"You go, how to deal with the situation in the south is up to you!"
Heliantong looked at her and said, "The weather is getting hotter and it's good for fishing."
"If the Northern Xinjiang Army attacks Ningxing, there will be no mass killings, but the good days of the clan will definitely be over. Your fish pond will only become a trophy for the Northern Xinjiang Army."
"The eldest princess's tongue is like an arrow, which makes it difficult for me to resist." He Liantong took a deep breath, "The situation is very difficult!"
"Yes!" Changling smiled bitterly, "It's not difficult, and I don't want to show up."
"In that case, I can go, but it's over to the Shegu people."
"The war should start soon over there."
"Does the eldest princess have any explanation for this battle?"
This was a test, He Liantong wanted to see Changling's ability.
Changling almost didn't think about it, "Both the north and the south must be stable, and everything will have to wait until the prince ascends the throne."
We can make plans after stabilizing the situation in the DPRK."
"That's how it should be!" He Liantong nodded, "The prince, what do you think of the eldest princess?"
Changling said: "He is a smart one."
"That's good!"
He Liantong said: "When the late emperor was the crown prince, he was quite suspicious of the clan."
Helianfeng and even Helianchun were suspicious of him.
Changling could only smile bitterly in his heart.
"After the late emperor ascended the throne, I liberated myself from military power and returned home to retire. I thought I would never have the chance to leave the mountain in this life, but I didn't expect it!" He Liantong sighed, "Actually, I am still comfortable fishing."
Changling was a little curious, "I was ready to persuade you several times, but you agreed right away. Why?"
Heliantong turned around and looked at the main hall where the Daxing Emperor was buried, and said: "For my surname."
Helianshi!
Changling saluted, "Jiangzhou is entrusted to you!"
"After the crown prince's enthronement ceremony was completed, I hurried to Jiangzhou. I'm sure some people will be killed when I go there. Don't be surprised when the news comes."
There was a hint of coldness in Heliantong's eyes.
“Just do it!”
Changling nodded.
"The eldest princess!"
Someone called Changling from behind, and she turned around.
He Lian Tong looked at her back and sighed: "He Lian Feng is such a sharp-tongued person, but he actually gave birth to such a generous and calm daughter. It's really puzzling!"
Changling went over, called her chamberlain and said: "Princess Princess,
Xu Fu committed suicide."
Xu Fu hanged himself in his residence.
When Chang Ling arrived, the man was still hanging on the beam.
Several guards were guarding the scene. They saw Chang Ling coming in. After saluting, one of the guards said: "A servant came to look for Xu Fu. Seeing that the door was ajar, he pushed it open tentatively and saw him hanging here."
Changling sighed, "He is loyal!"
The prince should ascend the throne next.
The enthronement ceremony is very complicated, even if it is reduced a lot, it is still exhausting.
Changling had not yet given birth, so he did not attend the enthronement ceremony.
She rested in the side hall.
"The young man is very well-behaved. He doesn't cry even when he wakes up and doesn't see the eldest princess."
Zhan Juan said vividly.
This is Changling's only comfort at the moment.
A guard from the eldest princess's palace came outside, "eldest princess, someone has been sent over there and delivered a letter from that person."
Changling was startled, "How did he know?"
The letter is opened.
——You bitch, you don’t say a word when you’re pregnant, you don’t say a word when you give birth to a baby, do you really think I’m that kind of person?
The corners of Changling's mouth raised slightly.
Yes! Just treat it like you are that kind of person!
——How is your health? Although you have some cultivation, you still have to sit during the confinement period.
——Children should not be covered too much, otherwise they will become sick when they grow up.
Yang Xuan spent most of the letter talking about some precautions for mother and child after childbirth.
——If you take Cangzhou, He Lianchun will probably be very angry! Be careful to vent your anger on you. But he is a smart man and has a son. If he dares to do something cruel to you, he will be in the first grade of junior high school, and I will be in the tenth grade.
five.
Changling was in a daze for a moment, thinking to himself, Emperor Daxing didn't say the reason why he was cruel to him. It was probably because of the late emperor's only bloodline, but was it also because of Yang Xuan?
That person!
Once he gets angry, think about those imperial palaces and poles. Emperor Daxing would have to leave a way out for his children and grandchildren!
——I will prepare some things for the child and you later and have them delivered.
--Take care of yourself!
The word "take care" is a bit sloppy.
Changling seemed to see Yang Xuan holding a pen, frowning and wanting to curse, but gritting his teeth to endure it.
If a father only learns the news after his child is born, and is not angry, that means he doesn't care.
Changling kept the letter.
"Let them come."
More than ten eunuchs and several female officials filed in.
"I've met the eldest princess!"
Everyone salutes.
These were all people who were used by the late Emperor He Lianfeng during his time. After Emperor Daxing ascended the throne,
was marginalized.
At this moment, the Changling Mausoleum is closed, and these people have found their backbone again.
Changling sat upright and said slowly: "From now on, I will be loyal to Your Majesty!"
"Long live your Majesty!"
The enthronement ceremony has been completed, and the ministers are shouting long live.
More than ten eunuchs and female officials knelt down, "We will swear allegiance to the eldest princess to the death!"
Listening to politics behind the curtain seems to have great power, but now the Liao Dynasty is experiencing internal and external troubles, and the queen in the harem is hostile to Changling, which can be said to be alarming at every step.
Using these old men from the late emperor is the first step for Changling.
Secure the harem!
It’s easy to do things!
Changling squinted his eyes, "Have a good time doing things."
"yes!"
Everyone stood up.
Then everyone left, but a eunuch hesitated for a moment and saluted, "I'm a little confused about the eldest princess Xu Fu."
"Oh!" Changling nodded, and the eunuch said: "Xu Fu used to be quite cold to slaves and others, but when slaves met Xu Fu earlier, he said a few words to slaves."
"What did you say?"
The eunuch lowered his voice and said, "He said, when it's time to wait, please invite me to drink!"
Changling raised his head, his eyes suddenly sharp.
Once the emperor and his courtiers were gone, Xu Fu
Once the settlement is ruined, enemies from the past will flock to you.
Xu Fu was a smart man and knew that Changling would control the harem in the future, so he approached the old man of the late emperor He Lianfeng to show his favor.
This means planning for your future.
But why would a person who was still thinking about the future commit suicide in such a short time?
"Secret investigation!"
Changling waved his hand and the eunuch resigned.
Who will kill Xu Fu?
What's the benefit of killing him?
Covering up the affairs of Emperor Daxing?
If this is the case, Emperor Daxing only needs to tell Xu Fu to guard the mausoleum before leaving.
Or be more cruel and let Xu Fu be buried with him.
Who is it?
Lin Ya, Queen, or
Changling squinted his eyes.
A chamberlain appeared outside the palace, "Eldest Princess, Your Majesty invites you to go."
"knew."
Chang Ling stood up and walked out slowly, followed by the chambermaid, who arrived in front of the main hall.
Look up.
The new king was sitting on it. When he saw her coming, he stood up to greet her.
The ministers lined up and looked sideways at her.
Changling thought of his father.
She walked up step by step.
There was a curtain behind Xinjun's throne. Changling walked over and sat down.
Xinjun sat down.
The ministers saluted.
"I've met the eldest princess!"
The woman behind the curtain lightly opened her red lips.
