When Fang Ling saw the Queen Mother holding her stomach and falling to the ground, she was shocked and shouted: "Queen Mother! Queen Mother, what's wrong with you? Someone come quickly!"
When such a big event happened, the people in Chongqing Palace were in chaos. Lu Caizhi was the medical woman who served the Queen Mother closely. As soon as Na Fengling called her, she was the first to rush in.
She ordered someone to put the Queen Mother on the bed, looked at it carefully, and said tremblingly: "The Queen Mother passed away."
Lan Hui, Qing Xiang and others were all shocked. How could this be possible? Lan Hui stood up, her face covered with golden paper, and said tremblingly: "Someone, lock up Fengling and wait for her to be punished."
Fangling shouted: "Sister Lanhui, I don't know anything. It was the regent. It was the regent who asked me to give the ginseng tea to the Queen Mother. I didn't know there was something wrong with the ginseng tea. I didn't know anything."
Lan Hui was filled with anger: "Even if you don't know, you deserve to be damned if you don't serve me well." She shouted again: "Come here, take Fengling down quickly."
Lu Caizhi lay on the Queen Mother and cried softly. Qingxiang asked someone to collect the remaining ginseng tea on the ground, and showed Caizhi again. Caizhi carefully dipped a little of it with her fingernail and tasted it gently. , there was no bitterness at first taste, but after a while, the entire lips became numb and even turned purple.
"There is indeed something wrong with this ginseng tea. This is evidence that must not be destroyed and must be preserved."
Suddenly the Chongqing Palace was filled with cries. Several elderly nuns came out to wipe Li Wei's body and prepare for the burial. Lan Hui ordered the maids to go to various palaces to report the news. Within a quarter of an hour, Concubine Qi from Xukun Palace and her daughter-in-law Princess Shu were the first to feel it.
Concubine Qi cried all the way into Li Wei's bedroom.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are so good, why did you leave so suddenly when you said you were going to leave? The poor emperor is still so young, why are you so cruel."
Concubine Qi cried a lot, and then Concubine Jinggui, Concubine Ning and others arrived one after another. Concubine Dun was the last one to arrive. She had been friends with Li Wei for many years, and they were almost the same age. They met each other within an hour, and they were separated by life and death in the blink of an eye. Princess Dun didn't believe it.
Now that the Queen Mother has died suddenly, the Sixth Palace has no owner. The Honorable Princess has the highest qualifications and must come out to preside over it.
This happened suddenly. In a short period of time, she had collected her emotions and calmly told everyone: "The Queen Mother's death is said to be that she died of a sudden illness due to an acute illness that failed to be treated. No word of what happened today is allowed to be revealed." . The regent... ordered the imperial guards to arrest the regent."
Concubine Dun's heart skipped a beat, and she stood up at an inappropriate moment to report: "Concubine, this may not be the work of the Prince Regent, and there is no evidence. We still need to find out more."
"Evidence? He still thinks there is no evidence. Who handed the ginseng tea in, and the maids and eunuchs serving in front of him are all evidence. What more evidence does he need!" Jinggui Princess was angry and anxious.
Concubine Dun spoke softly. After a few words, she couldn't tell the difference anymore, and finally she stopped talking.
The Imperial Concubine had just given the order, and the steward of Chongqing Palace was about to go out to deliver a message when he heard the deputy commander of the imperial army come in and report: "Manager Wei, we are following the order of the regent and are here to escort you. No one is allowed to leave without authorization. Your own place."
When Wei Tai heard this, his feet went weak, and he cursed at the same time: "Then Zhao Qian has no good intentions. I asked him to escort him. I'm afraid he is here to seize the throne." He started crying again.
Several gates of the palace have been guarded at all levels. Zhao Qian was not wearing armor either, and was still wearing his usual python robe, standing on the tower of Hanyuan Hall and patrolling back and forth. The entire Hanyuan Hall was silent. Everyone was trembling in their positions and did not dare to move a step.
At this time, Fu Guang was already petrified and did not dare to cry. Fortunately, his most trusted eunuch was by his side. Fu Guang asked nervously: "Where is the Queen Mother? I want to find the Queen Mother."
"Your Majesty, you can't get out now. You can go see the Queen Mother later."
"Zhang Banban, please think of a way. I miss my mother. Can you let me see her?"
"Your Majesty, the regent has people guarding the outside right now. I'm afraid even a fly won't be able to get close to the Hanyuan Palace, and it's definitely not possible to go out. So you'd better give up this idea and bear with it for a while."
"Something must have happened to Queen Mother." Fu Guang said, and he, who had always been strong, finally couldn't help but burst into tears.
Eunuch Zhang had no choice but to carefully coax the little emperor, but secretly cursed the regent in his heart that he was not a thing and would dare to harm his own nephew.
Zhao Qian stood on the city tower, archers were ready everywhere, and then there was the sound of hurried footsteps on the stairs. A commander in armor came up and reported to Zhao Qian: "Your Majesty, everything is under control."
Zhao Qian nodded and said: "Okay, let them stay where they are now and don't act rashly."
But she said that Chongqing Palace was about to be in trouble. Concubine Ning came out and said: "The Queen Mother has left. The Regent is making trouble. We have to find a way to suppress him, otherwise I am afraid that the palace will be a river of blood."
The noble concubine had not moved while she was sitting, but concubine Qi had already stood up and said: "Let's go and fetch the sword from the Linde Hall that Emperor Taizu used to conquer the country. If you don't believe it, you can't kill it with the ancestor's sword." he."
Concubine Jing glanced at Concubine Qi. She already understood something in her heart. She still said calmly: "Okay, we all follow Concubine Qi's arrangements."
Concubine Qi walked in front and led the concubines to the Linde Palace to ask for Emperor Taizu's sword. However, Chongqing Palace was like Hanyuan Palace and could not get out at this moment.
Concubine Ning was timid and cried: "What to do, what to do."
The Concubine Qi seemed to have everything under control, and said: "I am a swordsman, and I am a fish and meat. Just leave it to fate. It depends on whether God will give him a chance to make a difference." The noble concubine still glanced calmly. Looking at Concubine Qi, Concubine Qi must have put herself in the position of Queen Mother these days, but this matter has just begun, and no one can tell how it will end. The Prince Regent was not a vegetarian, and he would do anything if he was made anxious.
Everyone had to go back again. Here, Princess Dun was always guarding the Queen Mother's body, dressing up with the Queen Mother herself, and she never shed tears.
Seeing that Princess Dun could no longer control herself, Lan Hui stepped forward and persuaded her: "My Lady, you have to take care of yourself. There is some porridge in the kitchen. Please go over and have a bowl of porridge. There are slaves guarding the place."
The noble concubine could not get out, so they had to go back to the palace to discuss what to do next.
Here Zhao Qian is guarding Hanyuan Hall, and the situation is serious. At the beginning of Youchu period, the setting sun is like blood. The palace gate in the southwest corner was breached from the outside, and then the King of Shu poured in through the gate with a large number of people.
The King of Shu was riding on horseback. He saw Zhao Qian standing on the city tower and shouted: "Uncle, if you don't want to be the regent, do you want to be the emperor yourself? You poisoned the Queen Mother and now you are holding her hostage." Your Majesty, we will come to attack the rebels."
Zhao Qian sneered: "Rebel, we haven't decided who is the rebel yet."
