Seeing Bei Bei crying miserably, the Queen Mother felt very unhappy. She glared at Prince Xiao angrily: "Asshole, this child is already pitiful. You haven't shown any care since he was born, and now..."
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and his arms around Beibei became tighter.
"Mother, why don't you understand the painstaking efforts of my son?" Prince Xiao explained anxiously that he took Beibei back just so that the family of three could be reunited, so he had to give him a chance to make up for it.
The Queen Mother took a deep breath and looked at Prince Xiao who was angry and helpless: "Well, if you stay in the palace these two days, the Ai family will want to see how you behave."
"Thank you, mother, and everything will come true."
It was not until the afternoon that Beibei was sent back to Qingluan Palace. Chu Yunning also heard the news that Prince Xiao was staying in Cihe Palace.
"Mom, I will never leave you." Beibei ran into Chu Yunning's arms like a bird, gently rubbed his head on her shoulder, and held her tightly with both hands.
arm.
Chu Yunning thought he was scared, so she hugged him and comforted him a few words: "Don't be afraid, Beibei, mother is right here."
Mother and son were affectionate for a while. Beibei fell asleep on Chu Yunning's shoulders. Chu Yunning carefully placed him on the bed.
"Miss, what if King Xiao insists on taking away Beibei?" Bixiu sat on the low couch, holding a round fan in her hand and gently fanning Beibei.
Chu Yunning couldn't believe that she had no life without Beibei. She had already lost Beibei once. The last time Beibei was kidnapped by Jingniang, it caused great harm to Beibei's young heart. She stayed up all night
He slept with Beibei.
It took a lot of effort to calm down. Just like before, she would never allow Beibei to get hurt again.
"Prince Xiao is not worthy of being a father at all."
He didn't fulfill his father's responsibility for a day, but instead belittled Beibei at every turn. This time he entered the palace to ask for custody of Beibei, most likely to get him back to Prince Xiao's Mansion.
The corners of Chu Yunning's lips curled up into a sneer. She would rather remain unmarried for the rest of her life than return to Prince Xiao's Mansion.
"After all, the Emperor and the Queen Mother are close relatives of Prince Xiao. If Prince Xiao is determined to go north, I will only worry that it will be detrimental to you." Bixiu said.
Chu Yunning also thought of this, they are the closest relatives by blood.
In this era of power, Chu Yunning felt deeply helpless. Looking at Beibei's sleeping profile, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"Miss, you have to think of something as soon as possible, slave girl..." Bixiu's eyes turned red in worry, she couldn't bear to leave Beibei.
Chu Yun Ning stood up quickly and went to the Political Affairs Hall.
"Chu Shangshu, you are here." When Eunuch Mo saw Chu Yunning, his face almost burst into laughter.
"Where is the Emperor?"
Eunuch Mo looked inside in embarrassment and lowered his voice and said, "The emperor summoned the new beauty an hour ago."
Chu Yunning raised her eyebrows, listening to the charming laughter coming from the woman in her ear, she lowered her eyes and thought for a while, then turned to leave, but then the little eunuch came out and said to her: "The emperor knows that it is Chu Shang Palace
Here you go, let me see you."
Hearing this Chu Yunning hesitated, Eunuch Mo reminded: "Chu Shanggong, please hurry up and invite me."
"Um."
She had no choice but to go in. She really didn't want to see this scene. If she had known that Emperor Mingwen had summoned Xiu Nu, she would have come later.
Two figures overlapped each other across the curtain, and there was a constant air of ambiguity in the hall. Chu Yunning took a deep breath, and couldn't bear to disturb him, so he knelt in the corner like a quail and lowered his head.
"Chu Shanggong, here we come." Emperor Mingwen's voice came through the curtain.
"I have seen the emperor." Chu Yunning saluted and said hello. Emperor Mingwen called out and asked, "Chu Shanggong, please wait a moment."
"My lord... don't be in a hurry." Chu Yunning was embarrassed.
This wait lasted half an hour.
"Okay, that's it for today. I'll come back to announce you another day." Emperor Mingwen's fingertips stroked the pretty girl's charming cheek, and the beautiful girl nestled in Emperor Mingwen's arms coquettishly: "I want to accompany you."
emperor."
When the beautiful lady saw Emperor Mingwen's gloomy expression, she was so frightened that she didn't even have time to put on her clothes. She jumped off the bed and said, "I'm leaving right now."
Before leaving, Xiu Nu looked at Chu Yunning unwillingly, as if she hated her for ruining her good deeds.
Chu Yunning touched the tip of her nose, and she had offended another person invisibly.
The curtain was suddenly lifted up. Emperor Mingwen was wearing a white undershirt and was sitting on the couch. One leg was curled up and his arm was lazily placed on his leg. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Chu Shanggong can't wait to come to me."
,What’s the matter?”
"Your Majesty has misunderstood. I just want to come to greet you." Chu Yunning has changed his mind now and does not want to ask Emperor Mingwen anymore.
Emperor Mingwen laughed: "Chu Shanggong, I sent away the beauty for you, you just fooled me like this?"
It doesn't matter if there is a beauty by his side. You can look at it but you can't eat it. It's a pain to look at it, Chu Yunning thought silently in her heart.
"I deserve to die." No matter what I thought in my heart, I didn't dare to say it with my mouth.
Emperor Mingwen changed his position and leaned on the soft couch, looking at Chu Yunning casually: "There are no outsiders here. I still like your honesty. Tell me, why are you here?"
When the atmosphere reached this point, Chu Yunning took a deep breath: "Your Majesty is wise. I am here for Beibei. Beibei is my lifeblood. I beg the Emperor to give me a promise and let Beibei follow me for the rest of my life."
It is true that the Queen Mother loved her dearly, but she must have hoped that Beibei's parents would be reunited and the family of three would live happily together.
Therefore, we will spare no effort to match them.
"The purpose of Prince Xiao's return to Beibei is not simple. Since I have complied with the imperial decree and left, I have no intention of going back. I sincerely ask the emperor to issue an order to give me reassurance."
Emperor Mingwen was so angry that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and asked: "I gave you the decree to reconcile, is it wrong?"
Chu Yunning remained silent, which was regarded as acquiescence. Seeing this, Emperor Mingwen felt itchy at the roots of his teeth and raised the corners of his mouth: "Why should Chu Shanggong think so bad of this person? Beibei is the son of Prince Xiao after all. It is not natural for him to recognize his ancestor and return to his clan."
Is that right? Maybe Prince Xiao will sincerely make up for it."
"Does the Emperor believe it?" Chu Yunning looked directly at Emperor Mingwen and asked.
Emperor Mingwen was so shocked that he didn't know what to say. He didn't believe it. He and Prince Xiao had been brothers for many years, so how could he not understand Prince Xiao?
Emperor Mingwen's face suddenly changed slightly, and he said to Chu Yunning: "Get out!"
Chu Yunning was puzzled and saw Emperor Mingwen's face getting paler and paler, his pupils dilated, and it seemed that he was suffering from a virus attack.
"Poof!" Emperor Mingwen suddenly spurted out a large mouthful of blood and fell to the collapse. Seeing this, Chu Yunning shouted to Eunuch Mo and hurried forward to check.
When Eunuch Mo saw this, he almost fainted with fright: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
Chu Yunning put her fingertips on Emperor Mingwen's wrist and found that he was poisoned, and the poisoning period was not long.
"Eunuch Mo, go quickly and stop the beautiful girl just now."
Hearing this, Eunuch Mo didn't ask further questions and led people to find Xiu Nu.
She took out a silver needle from her arms and sealed several major bloodlines of Emperor Mingwen, preventing toxins from invading the internal organs.
Soon the news of Emperor Mingwen's poisoning reached the ears of the Queen Mother, who rushed over in a hurry and asked: "How is the Emperor?"
Chu Yunning answered truthfully: "Back to the Queen Mother, the Emperor's poison is a bit fierce, and the antidote has not been found for a while."
"Have you found anyone?" asked the Queen Mother.
"Back to the Queen Mother, the person was found and confessed to the poisoning." Eunuch Mo stepped forward to answer. He never expected that the new beauty was so scheming. She put spices on her clothes and took the risk to poison Ming.
Emperor Wen.
When he found Xiu Nu, she fell to the ground with her last breath, and blood was still spreading around the corners of her mouth.
Even the imperial doctor believed that Xiu Nu had poisoned her and then committed suicide by taking the poison.
The Queen Mother's face was gloomy: "How do you serve the Emperor and let a little beautiful girl succeed?"
"Going back to the Queen Mother, this beautiful girl was faked on the way. The real Miss Li family was killed. This person...slave deserves to die." After Eunuch Mo investigated, he found that the poisoned beautiful girl was fake. It was so terrible.
Outrageous.
The Li family was also a victim in this matter, and those who did not know were not guilty. Xiu Nu died again. Emperor Mingwen himself was the reason for this incident.
The Queen Mother was furious and summoned all the imperial doctors to examine Emperor Mingwen's pulse. They concluded that the poison was caused by poisoning, and the poison was somewhat complicated. It would take some time to test the medicine to determine whether there was a chance to detoxify the poison.
"The news of the Emperor's poisoning will be blocked from now on. No one present can leave the Council Hall until the Emperor's poison is removed!"
Emperor Mingwen is the master of a country. If news of the critical situation spreads, someone with evil intentions will definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble.
Therefore, the wise thing to do is to block the news.
The Empress Dowager sent people to seal the siege of the political affairs hall and announced that Emperor Mingwen had contracted a strange disease and could not show his face to others.
After all, if it could be kept secret for a while, people would become suspicious over time, so the Queen Mother made a decisive decision and asked King Xiao to temporarily preside over the affairs of state on behalf of Emperor Mingwen.
After arranging everything, the Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief and pulled Chu Yunning aside: "Ning'er, can you tell the Ai family whether the emperor's illness can be cured?"
Chu Yunning did not dare to answer this rashly. She saw the Xiao Dynasty coming from a distance, and Chu Yunning immediately said: "The emperor is slightly ill. This is only temporary. Once the antidote is found, the emperor will be fine.
"
"Ning'er, please stop comforting the Aijia. That beautiful girl is dead, and there is no evidence of her death. How can we find the antidote?" The Queen Mother was panicking. If Emperor Mingwen had any shortcomings, there would be great chaos.
"Chu Yunning, why are you here so late?" Prince Xiao stared at Chu Yunning, with a flash of disdain in his eyes, which made her feel angry. This person is definitely a pervert.
He actually doubted himself.
"Go back to Prince Xiao. I came to report the matter to the Emperor. I accidentally discovered that the Emperor was poisoned."
Prince Xiao snorted coldly: "Ever since you entered the palace, strange things have happened in the palace. Haven't you ever found your own reasons?"
"In King Xiao's opinion, what reason should I find?"
Chu Yunning was furious. She disliked Prince Xiao more and more. He was an extreme personality who would destroy everything if he didn't get it.
"Prince Xiao, the most important thing now is to cure the emperor's illness, rather than blaming me here."
"You!" Prince Xiao was displeased. Seeing that the Queen Mother's expression was not good, he stepped forward to comfort her: "Mother, my dear brother has his own destiny, and everything will be fine. You don't have to worry too much."
The Queen Mother rubbed her eyebrows and felt dizzy. Upon seeing this, Chu Yunning took out a passion pill from her arms and stuffed it into the Queen Mother's mouth.
"Chu Yunning, what did you feed the queen? If the queen makes any mistakes, I can't get around you!" Prince Xiao said in a deep voice.
After a while, the Queen Mother woke up faintly and held Prince Xiao's hand: "Xiao'er, the Ai family is fine. Don't anger Ning'er. The Ai family believes that Ning'er is kind-hearted and will never harm the Ai family."
"Mother, you know people but not their hearts." Prince Xiao supported the Queen Mother and leaned on the soft bed.
When Chu Yunning heard this, he wished he could find a needle to sew Prince Xiao's mouth shut. It was so annoying. He had asked to get back together a moment ago, but he turned against him in just a few hours.
Let me ask you, where does such a person feel safe?
"That's enough!" The Queen Mother interrupted King Xiao's words in a cold voice, and comforted Chu Yunning: "Ning'er, Xiao'er is also confused when she cares. Don't take it to your heart."
"I don't dare."
The Queen Mother bent down and took Chu Yunning's hand: "Ning'er, no matter what, you must save the emperor.
Nothing can happen to him."
With Prince Xiao's behavior, Chu Yun Ning would be able to save Emperor Ming Wen no matter what he said.
"Queen Mother, Ning'er will definitely do her best."
"The Aijia believe in you."
That night the lights in the political hall were brightly lit. Chu Yunning stood by the bed and looked at the sleeping Emperor Mingwen. He checked his pulse from time to time. His pulse was a little weak, but he was definitely not in danger of his life.
"Chu Shanggong, how is the emperor?" Eunuch Mo asked worriedly.
Chu Yunning's face was a little solemn, and Eunuch Mo was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, with tears in his eyes, and looked at Emperor Mingwen eagerly.
"Eunuch Mo, it's not the time for the emperor to mourn yet." Chu Yunning said angrily. This sentence scared Eunuch Mo and he quickly held back his tears, wiped them with his sleeves, and said embarrassedly: "Slave!
Aren't you worried about the Emperor and just in a hurry?"
Chu Yunning rolled his eyes and asked someone to prepare some medicinal materials and a bath bucket. Soon a large wooden bucket was placed in the hall, filled with hot water. He sprinkled the medicinal materials one by one and tested the water temperature.
Let people put Emperor Mingwen into the water.
"Chu Shanggong, is this possible?" One of the imperial doctors was dubious.
"The emperor's internal organs have not been injured yet. Taking a medicinal bath can force out some poisons." Chu Yunning explained that the other imperial doctors all agreed that they cut all ten fingers of Emperor Mingwen and squeezed out each finger.
A small bowl of black blood doesn't stop until it emits bright red.
"Let someone boil ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum..." Chu Yunning mentioned a long list of valuable blood-replenishing medicinal materials. The most indispensable thing in the palace was the precious medicinal materials: "Every half an hour, I give the emperor a bowl and then cut off his fingers.
Bleeding point."
Eunuch Mo asked: "Will the emperor be in danger?"
Chu Yunning glanced at Eunuch Mo angrily, and Eunuch Mo shut up knowingly.
After several attempts, Emperor Mingwen's complexion improved significantly, but he was still unconscious.
Soon it was time for the morning court. King Xiao was about the same size as Emperor Mingwen, so for the time being, King Xiao put on the dragon robe and went to court instead of Emperor Mingwen. The front was covered with a curtain so that the civil and military officials could not see it at all. In addition, King Xiao
The sound is somewhat similar, so no one suspected it for a while.
When he went to court for the first time, King Xiao was still a little nervous. After leaving the court, he took off his dragon robe and his back was soaked. Then he looked at a table full of memorials. King Xiao did not dare to delay, so he immediately started to deal with it.
To prevent the secret from being exposed, he also deliberately imitated the handwriting of Emperor Mingwen.
