"It's full of nonsense!" Queen Gong was the first to not believe it: "Eunuch Mo, the emperor has been very kind to you over the years. If you betray the emperor, you will not end well in the future."
"Mother, how dare you?" Eunuch Mo asked the queen to kneel down, but the queen still refused: "Go in and report again, and then say that I insist on seeing you and beg the emperor to summon you."
"This..." Eunuch Mo was embarrassed.
Chu Yunning said: "Why does the queen need to embarrass Eunuch Mo? Since the emperor is absent for something, it will be fine for the queen to come back later."
"It's not your turn to be arrogant here!" After several trials, the Queen became more and more certain that something had happened to Emperor Mingwen, so she winked at Concubine Xia.
Concubine Xia hesitated for a moment, remembering Chu Yunning's ability, gritted her teeth and took a gamble: "Queen, maybe the Emperor really has something urgent to deal with, let's wait a little longer."
"Bastard!" Queen Palace scolded angrily. Concubine Xia curled her lips and didn't refute. She just lowered her head and pretended not to see anything.
"What the Imperial Concubine said is absolutely true. The Emperor has important matters to deal with and will not be able to spare the time to summon you all for a while."
The more Chu Yunning said this, the more suspicious the queen became, and she looked at each other with Gong Cheng.
The Prime Minister of the Palace and several adults knelt in front of the political affairs hall: "Your Majesty, I have a script to start this memorial!"
The movement in front of the Yizheng Palace soon reached the ears of the Queen Mother, who rushed over angrily. The Queen Mother immediately said: "Your Majesty, I am worried that the emperor wants to go in for a visit, but the Chu Shang Palace has been blocking it."
When it came to the emperor, the empress thought that the queen mother would definitely turn against her, but she didn't expect the queen mother to shout at her unceremoniously: "Have you had enough trouble? How can it be appropriate for a group of people to gather here? You have a noble status and are not street shrews."
!”
Being scolded angrily by the Queen Mother, all the concubines turned red and looked at the Queen in uneasiness.
"Your Majesty, it is my concubine who is worried about the Emperor. You sisters are also worried about the Emperor. I wonder what mistake you have made?"
The Empress Dowager's attitude made the Empress Gong immediately wary. Could it be that the Empress Dowager wanted Prince Xiao to succeed to the throne?
Absolutely not!
"Queen, are you questioning the Ai family?" the Queen Mother said displeased.
The Queen pursed her lips and bowed respectfully to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, please calm down. Even if you are angry, I must see the Emperor today!"
"Queen!" The Queen Mother's face turned red with anger, and she glared at the Queen with extreme displeasure: "You are the mother of a country, and you should set an example when you lead the harem..."
Plop!
The empress knelt on the ground with a solemn look on her face: "Since Chu Shanggong entered the palace, the children of noble concubine Li are gone, and the children of noble concubine Xia are also gone. Unfortunately, I have also contracted a serious disease, and the power of the harem has been handed over to Chu.
Shang Gong, even the emperor cannot see him now. I am worried that someone is plotting something wrong. The Queen Mother must not let Chu Shang Gong deceive me."
For this reason, if the Queen Mother does not wake up, it will prove her own guess. The Queen Mother is also one of the people who set up the trap!
"The Queen Mother, I and others feel that what the Queen Mother said is absolutely correct, and I beg the Queen Mother to let me go in and see the Emperor.
"The Prime Minister of the Palace echoed from the side.
The Queen Mother looked gloomy and remained silent.
When the Queen saw this, her heart went cold. They all said that the people loved Yao'er, and the Queen Mother felt the same for Prince Xiao. She had let Prince Xiao enter the palace early, so she must have made arrangements.
It’s just that everyone was kept in the dark. Maybe the emperor was in danger. Thinking of this, the queen could no longer calm down. She stood up and rushed in without caring. “Since the queen mother is not in a hurry, I have no choice but to do it myself.”
Let’s go in and take a look. If the Emperor is really fine, I will accept my punishment.”
If something happens to the Emperor, no one present can run away. She just informed the Prime Minister of the Palace to prepare for the worst plan at any time.
This throne must not be taken away by Prince Xiao.
When the three concubines in the harem are pregnant with a child, whoever gives birth to the prince first will be appointed as the crown prince, leaving the mother to keep the son, and then let the prime minister of the palace supervise the country on his behalf. When the child grows up, he will personally rule.
"The Queen!" Chu Yunning blocked the door with a long sword in her hand, her eyes sharp: "Can the Queen really go to see the emperor regardless of the consequences?"
The Queen raised her chin and said, "Come here, please help me capture the traitor!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a row of guards rushed over and each drew their swords at each other. The Queen Mother was so angry that her face was livid: "Queen, what on earth are you going to do!"
"Queen Mother, I always respect you, but today, I can't let you do whatever you want." The Queen gave the order and sent people to capture King Xiao. As long as King Xiao is in hand, she has nothing to fear.
After a while, King Xiao was tied up and captured. King Xiao was confused. When he knew the whole story, he rolled his eyes angrily: "Queen, are you crazy? You dare to threaten me!"
"Pa!" Queen Gong slapped Prince Xiao without hesitation.
The sight of this slap made Chu Yunning feel happy in her heart, and she wished she could use the Queen's hand to give her a few more hard slaps to relieve her anger.
There was even a moment when Chu Yunning wanted to corner the queen and kill Prince Xiao directly to avoid future troubles.
"Queen!" King Xiao gritted his teeth. Before he could finish his words, he was gagged and kicked hard by the guard behind him. King Xiao couldn't bear the force and his legs weakened and he knelt down.
The Queen took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, Prince Xiao. I will definitely let you go once I am sure that the Emperor is fine."
"Queen, you are absolutely crazy!" The Queen Mother was so angry that her heart ached, and she covered her heart: "Stop now!"
Ignoring the Queen Mother's anger, the Queen Palace said to Chu Yunning: "If you don't get out of the way, don't blame me for being rude to Prince Xiao. You and your wife are good at acting and almost deceived everyone. Fortunately, you were
I see through this, and now I will completely shatter your dreams!"
At the Queen's signal, Prince Xiao was stabbed in the shoulder.
Blood stains slowly flowed down the clothes. Chu Yunning's pupils shrank, and the excitement in his blood screamed. He suppressed his excitement and looked at the Queen in a pretense of panic: "Queen..."
"I'll ask you again, will you let me or not?" the Queen asked angrily.
Chu Yunning deliberately stuttered.
Another knife pierced King Xiao's shoulder. King Xiao groaned in pain, and Chu Yunning screamed no.
Don't show mercy...
The empress looked proud, thinking she had grasped Chu Yunning's destiny: "Chu Yunning, I will ask you one last time, do you want to give in or not?"
"Queen Mother!"
With an exclamation, the Queen Mother was so angry that she fainted. Chu Yun was reluctant to do the same thing and stamped his feet: "Queen, I won't let you go!"
This sentence is absolutely certain.
The Queen was slightly stunned: "Chu Yunning, this is your husband, why are you so cruel?"
"Queen, Prince Xiao is my ex-husband, and I have drawn a clear line between myself and Prince Xiao." Chu Yunning looked unconcerned and added silently in her heart, so just deal with it how you like.
Prince Xiao stared at Chu Yunning like a knife. He couldn't believe that these words came out of her mouth. Did he not care about himself at all?
"Chu Yunning, you are so cruel."
The moment the Queen Mother rushed over, Chu Yunning called out to the Queen Mother in surprise, avoided the Queen Mother, and ran to the Queen Mother's side.
"Queen Mother, please wake up."
Chu Yunning may not be sincere towards others, but the Queen Mother loves her. Chu Yunning is also worried that the Queen Mother's anger will hurt her heart and lungs, so she puts her fingertips on the Queen Mother's wrist. Fortunately, the Queen Mother is not seriously injured.
Seeing Chu Yunning dodge, the Queen Palace didn't feel relieved. Instead, she thought about taking this opportunity to kill Chu Yunning and finish off Chu Yunning.
"The people below Chu Shanggong have been disrespectful to me and tried to unite with King Xiao to rebel. They should be punished. Come here, I will seize Chu Shanggong. If there is resistance, I will punish you on the spot!" Queen Palace commanded.
Soon a group of guards were eager to try.
Chu Yunning glanced at the clock and thought that Emperor Wen had already woken up. Why was there no movement at all?
Could it be that my medicine was wrong?
Absolutely impossible!
Chu Yunning quickly thought of something, twitched the corner of her mouth, and cursed Emperor Mingwen in her heart for being careless and unable to count on Emperor Mingwen, so she had no choice but to delay.
"How dare you? The Empress led troops to surround the Council Hall to rebel. I advise you to put down your weapons as soon as possible, otherwise the nine tribes will be implicated!" Chu Yunning shouted, trying to awaken the conscience of a certain emperor.
If she doesn't come out, Chu Yunning can't guarantee what Queen Gong will do.
The Empress was forced into this situation and had no choice. She gritted her teeth and took a step forward, but was stopped by the Prime Minister. "Don't be alarmist, Chu Shang Palace. The Empress was also worried about the Emperor for a moment. In a hurry,
That’s why, why did the Chu Shang Palace keep blocking the imperial concubine from letting you in? My empress, the palace door has been opened, why don’t you hurry up and get out.”
The Prime Minister of the Palace winked at the Queen of the Palace, telling her not to act recklessly, as it would not be worthwhile to be accused of treason.
"Yes, I am just worried about the emperor." The queen waved her hand, and the guards retracted their swords and took two steps back.
The rest of the concubines were frightened. They had agreed to come to visit the emperor, but why did they have anything to do with rebellion?
"Queen, now that the matter is over, it's better to go and see the Emperor first." Concubine Xia reminded.
The Queen looked at Concubine Xia meaningfully: "Concubine Xia is worried about the emperor at this time. What did you do just now?"
A good man doesn't want to take advantage of the situation. Concubine Xia pursed her lips and endured the bad breath.
The queen of the palace stepped across the threshold in front of everyone, entered the palace, and walked all the way to the inner palace, calling to the emperor.
A dozen imperial doctors in the hall were busy working on something attentively, and the air was filled with a strong scent of medicine.
Seeing this posture, Queen Gong was even more sure that she had made the right bet.
The next moment the curtains were raised, Emperor Mingwen sat on the bed with a gloomy expression, his eyes staring at the Empress for a moment, their eyes meeting each other.
"Hiss!" The Queen took a breath, and her face turned pale instantly. She didn't know whether it was joy or fear; "Your Majesty... Your Majesty."
Emperor Mingwen put one hand on his knees and asked casually: "Why did the queen insist on breaking in despite the imperial edict?"
"Concubine..." The Queen's brain had not yet reacted, and her whole body was still numb. She swallowed nervously and explained: "Concubine heard that the emperor was in danger, so she came to visit."
"What danger can I face in the palace?" Emperor Mingwen asked back, his eyes a little more probing. The queen of the palace lost her previous momentum and hesitated to speak.
At this time, Eunuch Mo came in. When he saw the emperor at first glance, he cried with joy: "Your Majesty!"
"Why are you crying? I am just researching some pills. You are all trying to die!" Emperor Mingwen roared so hard that the Queen's legs went weak.
Who would have thought that Emperor Mingwen was obsessed with elixirs?
"I deserve to die, please forgive me." The Queen of the Palace apologized decisively.
Emperor Mingwen slowly got off the ground and walked towards the Queen. He bent down and lifted the Queen's chin with his fingertips: "Are you disappointed to see that I am intact?"
"Your Majesty, I don't dare." The Queen's eyes turned red, and she looked at Emperor Mingwen aggrievedly: "I am really worried about the Emperor, and even more worried about someone plotting something evil and plotting to harm the Emperor. I did something stupid out of desperation. Please ask the Emperor for help."
For the sake of my sincerity, please spare me this time."
After the Queen of the Palace calmed down, she finally regained consciousness. When she thought of what she had just done, she couldn't help but tremble all over.
If you really want to worry about it, it is a serious crime of decapitation!
"Don't you dare?" Emperor Mingwen sneered at the corner of his mouth: "I think you are very brave. You led troops to surround and destroy the political palace, and summoned the prime minister. Does the queen know that forcing the palace is a capital crime?"
"Your Majesty!" The Empress of the Palace cried sadly and hugged Emperor Mingwen's thigh: "I have no such intention. Please listen to my explanation..."
"Get away!" Emperor Mingwen stretched out his legs and kicked the Empress Gong hard on the shoulder. His eyes were so fierce that the Empress Gong was frightened. She even felt like she had fallen into a trap.
When Emperor Mingwen slowly walked out of the political affairs hall, the Prime Minister's brows were so knotted that he glanced sideways at the Empress who followed him out. At this moment, the Empress was lost and her face was pale.
"Your Majesty, I am incompetent and cannot stop the Queen and the Prime Minister." Chu Yunning couldn't help but rolled his eyes. Looking at Emperor Mingwen's face, he had probably woken up early and deliberately hid in the political affairs hall to watch the show.
It's so bad!
"Is the Queen Mother feeling ill?" Emperor Mingwen asked.
The Queen Mother had just been sent to the side hall to rest, and she should have woken up by now. Emperor Mingwen first went to the side hall to pay his respects to the Queen Mother. When the Queen Mother looked at Emperor Mingwen at first glance, tears flowed down uncontrollably: "
It’s good that you’re fine, the Aijia hopes that you’ll be fine, and I’m finally relieved now.”
Emperor Mingwen knelt down and said, "It's because my sons and ministers are unfilial, which makes my mother worried."
He knew the Queen Mother's concern for him, and it was at this moment that he felt maternal love. In the past, he always thought that the Queen Mother did not like him and liked Prince Xiao.
Only now do I know that the Queen Mother has given all the responsibilities to herself, but she just didn't say anything about it.
Human nature cannot stand the test. Emperor Mingwen was surprised that the Queen Mother did not give up on herself and chose Prince Xiao to take the throne.
There wasn't even this thought.
"From now on, you must take good care of your health, check the people around you, and don't worry your mother anymore." The Queen Mother solemnly warned.
Emperor Mingwen nodded and immediately found a soft sedan chair to escort the Queen Mother back to the palace.
