"Your Majesty, this is a depression, a strong anger, and a moment of urgency... It's just logically speaking, you shouldn't be unconscious until now. It's strange! It's really strange!"
In the emperor's bedroom, the emperor, who had been vomiting blood before, was lying quietly on the bed at this moment, his face was pale, and his eyes were faintly blue and black.
The atmosphere in the hall was extremely quiet, only the puzzled voice of the imperial doctor could be heard.
Several imperial doctors carefully examined the emperor's pulse case again and again, because they couldn't figure out the reason why the emperor remained unconscious, their attitude was extremely serious, and they found out almost every minor ailment.
"... In addition, some kidneys are insufficient."
There was an awkward silence in the hall.
The queen was sitting on the side of the bed, with her head slightly lowered, and the tears were still wet on her beautiful and charming face.
The queen's surname is Zhou, and she was originally from an honorable family, and she has successfully given birth to the current prince and the sixth prince. She should have dominated the harem.
However, when fleeing south that year, almost the whole family of the queen's mother's family died, only a few young nephews and nieces were left. In addition, the queen's nature was gentle and weak, and she couldn't hold back the favorite concubine in the palace. If it weren't for the fact that the emperor seemed to respect this wife very much, I'm afraid she would have died long ago.
Empress Zhou had a deep affection for the emperor. She was staring affectionately at the emperor's slightly swollen face in a coma, feeling so sad that she couldn't restrain herself. As soon as the imperial doctor's words came out, her melancholy and affectionate expression froze on her face.
Inwardly cursing the group of vixens in the harem, the queen turned her head with a solemn expression, and for the first time showed a ruthless look on her seemingly beautiful and weak face:
"At all costs, let His Majesty wake up safely. If not, everyone in the Imperial Medical Office will be buried with His Majesty!"
At this time, the prince strode into the bedroom.
"The queen mother is worrying too much, but it's just a small test. The father, the auspicious man, has his own destiny, and he will pass it safely."
At the end, a smile appeared on his lips.
His expression looked very sincere.
"Yes, yes, brother, you're right... hiccup~"
Fatty, who was following behind him, nodded quickly, his cheeks bulging, and there was still a piece of unfinished pastry in his mouth.
As soon as he heard about the emperor's accident, he rushed over, and he didn't even finish his favorite Yunpian cake.
He swallowed his last bite and hiccupped.
For a moment, others couldn't help but look at him.
Qi Yu held his belly in his hands, his eyes were confused.
Queen Zhou was very angry with this stupid son.
... When is this, and you are so heartless! It's just too far away from the prince.
However, the prince is...
Thinking of something, Empress Zhou's complexion turned a little pale. She shifted her gaze to the emperor's face, and secretly prayed in her heart that the emperor would wake up as soon as possible.
"Your Highness, Your Highness!" Outside the bedroom, there was Xiao Huangmen stumbling over, "There is an urgent report from the Ministry of Punishment!"
Xiao Huangmen's head was covered with sweat, and he respectfully handed over a stack of blank papers to Yuan Buwei. The handwriting on it is messy and somewhat blurred, which seems to show the fluctuating mood of the person who wrote it.
I didn't want to read one by one, but my expression gradually became dignified. Seeing this, Queen Zhou asked a question.
Yuan didn't want to talk about the matter of taking down more than ten ministers overnight last night, shook his head and said: "I didn't expect them to be so obsessed with their obsession, and they just poisoned my sons and officials. The angry father was unconscious and didn't say anything. Now he is still trying to frame his father..."
He handed the stack of blank papers to Queen Zhou.
In the face of the threat of death, those people still couldn't bear the pressure after all, and threw the blame on the emperor, claiming that what they did was ordered by the emperor, and they were innocent in the first place... in black and white, it was clear.
"Nonsense, what nonsense!"
Empress Zhou couldn't help trembling with her hand holding the white paper.
Her lips were trembling with anger, and it took a long time before her trembling hands stabilized, and then she forcefully tore a stack of white paper in her hands into pieces.
"A group of rebellious officials and thieves! When they are about to die, they dare to accuse the emperor and separate the father and son of the Tian family...Prince, don't you believe what they say?"
Empress Zhou seemed really overwhelmed by these anger, almost incoherent, staring at Yuan Buwei.
... It's just that pale face, and flustered and suspicious eyes, have already completely betrayed her.
Yuan Buwei glanced at her: "Don't worry, empress mother, this kind of clumsy divorce plan, my son will not fall into the bait."
He looked at the sky outside the hall again: "It's past noon, those people must have been on their way."
"Good job! We should kill all these traitors!" Empress Zhou immediately said viciously.
Originally, the smile on the corners of his lips deepened.
"Since the empress mother also thinks so, the minister there is more at ease. Presumably, if the father wakes up and knows that you and my mother and son are of one mind and share his worries, he will be very relieved and heal his illness with peace of mind."
"..."
Looking at the faint smile on the prince's lips, Queen Zhou always felt something was wrong.
Qi Yu listened to it and understood.
... It turns out that those guys that Brother Huang arrested last night were really treacherous ministers with evil intentions. Not only did he attempt to murder the emperor's brother, but he also made his father sick in bed, and now he even slandered that his father wanted to attack the emperor's brother!
"This, these people are really... really damned!"
Xiaopang grew up to be eight years old, and had never seen such a hateful person. He couldn't find a suitable word to describe it, so he waved his fist and shouted.
Qi Yu was a little depressed when he thought that he still thought those people were a little kind before. Could it be that he is really blind and can't see people
… No no no, definitely not. It must be that those treacherous officials are too cunning and too good at confusing people. As smart and wise as him, he was actually confused!
Thinking of this, Qi Yu unconsciously spoke out what was in his heart, and immediately greeted his imperial brother's glance.
"..." There was a moment of silence, "...you are right."
Empress Zhou had already reacted from the feeling that something was wrong, and suddenly realized the problem.
She is not the stupid Qi Yu, but she already knew in her heart that the emperor had a grudge against the crown prince. But she only thought that the heart should belong to the heart, at most it would not be passed on to the prince in the future, but she never thought that the emperor would be so intolerable to him.
If those previous confessions were true...
So, didn't the prince kill more than a dozen ministers who were loyal to the emperor in one go? And she even applauded and helped the prince share part of the scapegoat.
Once His Majesty wakes up...
As soon as this thought came to her mind, Empress Zhou, who knew the emperor's temperament very well, gradually became stiff.
After Yuan Buwei left for the two, Empress Zhou seemed to lose all her strength and leaned directly on the bed.
Although she is no longer young, she has been pampered and well-maintained for many years, and still has a charm and charm that girls can't match. At this moment, his eyebrows were furrowed, and his face was full of worry, which was very easy to attract pity.
There was melancholy in Queen Zhou's eyes.
"... Did you really do it?"
Stretching out a hand to gently straighten the folds of the emperor's skirt, she sighed softly.
"I know you are not him, he has never been so kind to me. I also know you don't like Xuan'er..."
At this moment, Empress Zhou thought of the Hunjun who almost kicked her off the carriage in order not to be dragged down during her escape; she thought of the strange eyes she met when she struggled and resisted so hard that Hunjun crashed into the carriage and regained consciousness ; think of the never-ending journey southward since then; think of the fireworks at the birthday banquet; think of the script that this man made up to coax her; think of his endless little surprises... that was something she had never expected in the boudoir and deep palace. The appearance of the old man.
Speaking of the latter, her voice was almost a whisper, choked with sobs.
"But… "
"But... Xuan'er never likes to fight for power and profit, as long as he is sent far away..."
