That night, Yan Shi dealt with Uncle Yang's matter in a thunderous manner, and kicked Uncle Yang's confession in his arms contentedly.
It was too late when King Zhao received the news, and he hurried to Ganquan Palace.
The lights of Ganquan Palace hadn't stopped yet, and they walked up and down restlessly in the main hall.
"Jing'er!" Seeing King Zhao coming, he hurried forward as if he had a backbone.
"My sons and ministers see the queen mother." King Zhao knelt down and saluted.
"Get up quickly." Afterwards, his face was haggard and his expression was not very good-looking.
"Mother, how could uncle appear in the palace?" The situation was urgent, King Zhao could only get straight to the point.
After that, he also looked puzzled: "I don't know either. I heard that the people over there reported that Taifu Zhou and the others took him away. It is said that he brought out everything about Jing Rulan and Queen Wei. They could hear clearly. Chu. What should we do now? Yan Shi will never let us go."
King Zhao didn't speak immediately, but pondered for a while, and then his eyes became very cold: "Mother, there is only one way out now."
"What method?" Then asked hurriedly.
"I will ascend the throne as soon as possible." When King Zhao said this, a hint of sinister flashed in his eyes.
"The queen mother also wants you to ascend the throne quickly, but you are not even the crown prince, so how can you ascend the throne?" After thinking that he was talking nonsense, she couldn't help complaining, "Besides, how can you ascend the throne when your father is still alive."
"Then let him not be here." King Zhao said, took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve, and stuffed it into the hand of his successor, his eyes were dark and vicious, "Mother, you should understand what I mean, right?"
Afterwards, as if scalded by a medicine bottle, he suddenly retracted and walked away: "Jing'er, what do you want to do?"
"This is the best and fastest way for me to ascend the throne as soon as possible." King Zhao took the medicine bottle in his hand.
"Are you crazy!" Then he snapped.
"Mother, if the father doesn't die, then we will die." King Zhao's voice made Jihou a little scared, and she took a few steps back slightly, "We have been planning for many years, isn't it just for that seat, I just moved it forward Just get it."
"This won't work, you must get rid of this idea. He is not only the emperor, but also your father. If you do this, you will kill your father!" Afterwards, she couldn't believe how her son had such a dangerous idea. She seemed to be the first It's like I just met him in a day.
"Mother, do you want to die?" There was an evil smile on the corner of King Zhao's mouth, he pushed forward step by step, and was forced to retreat step by step, "Mother, you just answer my questions, don't think about anything else. .”
"I don't want to die, of course I don't want to die!" Afterwards, he tried to calm down his mind, and the current King Zhao made him a little scared.
"You don't want to die, I don't want to die, and uncle doesn't want to die, so the only one who dies is the father." King Zhao's eyes were gloomy, and the words he said were without warmth at all, "Mother, think about it, are you willing to give up the things in front of you?" Prosperity and wealth? If you die, you will lose everything, even if you don’t die, you will be thrown into the cold palace, what is the cold palace like, as the master of the six palaces, no one knows better than you.”
He didn't speak after that, but his eyebrows were still furrowed.
"Now that things have happened, there is one thing I have to tell my mother." Zhao Wang Zhou exuded a chilly air, and it was summer, but he shivered from the cold, "Didn't you always want to know about it all these years?" How did the little emperor die? I killed him with my own hands!"
"What are you talking about!" The shocks that King Zhao gave her one after another today, she wondered whether this was a dream, or the King Zhao in front of her was a fake, "It can't be true, how is it possible! Seven years old, how could you do that kind of thing!"
Looking at the shocked successor, King Zhao continued: "I am only one year younger than Yan Shi. I am conceited that I am talented in literature and martial arts, and the strategy of governing the country does not belong to him, but because he is born of a queen, my father does not want to see more." I glanced at me. I hate why he should be the emperor when he was born, and no matter how good I am and how hard I try, I can't reach that position. I don't know when I was born
He had the idea of getting rid of him and his queen together. That afternoon, Empress Wei happened to come to see you, but it happened that you were not in the palace. She glanced at the little emperor and left. In fact, I happened to be watching him in Xiaohuangdi's room at that time. He is my younger brother, so how could I not love him? I heard that Wei was coming, and I didn't want to see her, so I hid behind the screen. After she left, I looked at her back through the window, and my eyes fell on the sleeping little brother. Finally, I walked towards him step by step, and suffocated him to death with a pillow. "
"You know what happened later, queen mother. Without me, do you think you can sit in this position! You will always be overwhelmed by the queen! You can only pay her respects forever! Your son will always They will all be trampled under by her son!" Zhao Wang didn't feel any guilt at all, and said it very righteously.
Afterwards, trembling all over, he staggered back a few steps, but fortunately, he didn't fall down when he helped him to the table next to him. Suddenly, she took a few steps forward and slapped King Zhao with all her strength: "Beast!"
"Yes, I'm a beast!" King Zhao laughed instead, "It's a beast like me that made you the queen! It's a beast like me that can keep your glory and wealth! If Queen Wei is still alive, you think What will happen to you today? There are newcomers in this palace one after another, so what if you gave birth to a son for your father? Your son is not a noble eldest son. What kind of life will you live in the harem? You know better than anyone."
She didn't speak afterward, she knew that what King Zhao said was right, the Tian family was ruthless, she was used to seeing too many newcomers in this palace laugh at the old and cry, she has grown old these years, there is even a close relationship between Emperor Chongjin and her. There is little affection, otherwise, considering that she is a queen, Emperor Chongjin would not even look at her again.
King Zhao knew his mother best, and she knew the truth of what happened back then, although she would be angry, but the matter has come to this point, and so many years have passed. The most important thing is that she still has to rely on this son. For the sake of her own glory and wealth, she dare not really turn against King Zhao afterwards.
"Think about how your father has treated you these years?" King Zhao continued to light the fire, "I remember that on my mother's birthday last year, my father made it clear that I would spend it with you, but what happened later, what should my mother do? You know."
On Jihou's birthday last year, a favored concubine of Emperor Chongjin suddenly fell ill, and Emperor Chongjin went to her place without even explaining to Jihou. People ask, and only then do they know what's going on.
After thinking of this, he clenched his fists involuntarily.
"Mother, think about it carefully, we don't have much time." Zhao Wang said again, "After so many years of planning, it failed like this. I don't know if you feel sorry for it?"
After Zhao Wang finished speaking, he didn't say anything more, and he remained silent afterwards.
Many images flashed in her mind, from the moment she first entered the palace, from day to day, from Emperor Chongjin's favor to her at the beginning, to her gradual ruthlessness later on. After that, the more she thought about it, the more she hated her. In her life, she devoted all her effort and energy to two people, one was Emperor Chongjin and the other was King Zhao.
But Emperor Chongjin's heart is not on her alone. She gained her current status after losing a son. She can't let her son die in vain, and she can't let her many years of planning be ruined all at once, and she doesn't want to die!
After making up his mind, his eyes became very firm: "What should I do?"
"Just feed this medicine to him." King Zhao put the medicine bottle in his hand into his successor's hand, "You are the biggest in the whole palace except father, and you are the only one who can walk freely to his side without being caught." Check it out. You just need to visit your father on the grounds of visiting a doctor, and take this opportunity to give him this medicine."
"What else do we need to do after taking the medicine?" Then he said.
"You are the empress. Father is gone. There is no crown prince in the court. You are the one who will preside over the overall situation." King Zhao said, "Whatever you want to say about father's edict is not up to you? Empress, news of my coming to Ganquan Palace I'm afraid that it has already reached Prince Rui's ears, we... we need to act quickly."
The mother and son discussed the details again, and it was already the third watch, and then looked at the dark night, clenched their fists and went out.
I didn't expect it
The gate of the palace was blocked by guards: "Prince Rui has an order that no one is allowed to go out."
King Zhao was entering the palace, Yan Shi didn't say this, so he went in smoothly.
"Presumptuous! I am the empress, who would dare to stop me?" Then he showed the majesty of the empress, and the aura on his body suddenly increased.
"This..." the guard hesitated.
Afterwards, he became angry and immediately slapped the guard on the face: "Prince Rui wants to rebel, don't you want to follow him to rebel!"
The guards didn't know why Prince Rui wanted to seal the Oasis Palace, although they were a bit puzzled, no prince had ever dared to lock up the queen so boldly. Seeing Jihou like this now, I was a little scared.
He fell to his knees and begged for mercy, then walked past him without looking at him.
She only brought a few eunuchs and maids with her, and her body trembled a little at first, but she was surprisingly calm afterward.
When he arrived at Emperor Chongjin's place, Eunuch Le stood guard outside the door and saw her at a glance: "Empress Empress, why are you here so late?"
"I'm here to see the emperor." Then he said.
Eunuch Le brought her into the bedroom, then waved her to let him go down.
She was sitting by the bed, looking at the sleeping face of the person in front of her, with mixed feelings in her heart. She had loved this person with all her heart, but...
"Your Majesty, don't blame your concubine." The eyes of the following were full of madness, "If you don't die, we will die. I listen to Jing" Er said, taking this medicine will not cause any pain, so you can rest assured hit the road. The mountains and rivers of the abyss are guarded by our mother and son. "
After finishing speaking, he stuffed the pill into Emperor Chongjin's mouth.
