It's already October, and it's normally fine. But this time it rained heavily, and with the north wind, it became very cold in an instant.
Shen Chuliu braved the north wind to go to Fengzao Palace to pay his respects. He was almost blown away.
As soon as she sat down, before the queen came, she saw the queen's eunuch coming out: "Masters, Empress Dowager Feng's condition has worsened. The queen has already rushed there. The queen said, please hurry up the masters who are more than beautiful."
Everyone ignored the pleasantries and stood up in a hurry, especially Concubine Qian Shu, who was even more nervous.
Soon, he took the lead and went to the Empress Dowager Feng's place with everyone else. If there were still others who had not come, someone had already informed them, so they went directly to the Empress Dowager's place.
In Ci Rui Palace, the imperial doctor was very busy. Queen Mother Feng suddenly vomited blood and fainted early in the morning. Half an hour had passed and she showed no intention of waking up.
When Qi Yixiu arrived, half of his body was wet and he couldn't care about himself.
He just entered the inner chamber with Queen Mother Li and the Queen.
"what happened?"
The imperial physician is almost crying, what is going on.
"Back to the emperor, he was poisoned."
"Poisoned?" Qi Yixiu immediately thought of his own mother, but then he thought it was impossible.
"Yes, Your Majesty, this kind of poison can cause people to vomit blood, faint, and then fall asleep for a long time. The main reason is that this poison looks like a general sign of a stroke. Once it is too late, it will be hopeless." Dr. Song touched the beads of sweat and said: "It's still too late now. It's just that the poison has damaged the body of Empress Dowager Feng..."
"Tell me, what's the worst outcome?" Qi Yixiu frowned.
"Yes, the worst is, I'm afraid that Empress Dowager Feng won't be able to hold on for a few more years, and... this poison is so overbearing, I'm afraid she will leave some sequelae, which will make it difficult for her to walk in the future." The legs will be damaged due to the drug blocking the blood vessels. Unable to walk.
If you are young, you still have the opportunity to slowly recover. At Queen Mother Feng's age and her body is weak, it is impossible to give heavy medicine, otherwise it will be fatal.
Qi Yixiu frowned: "Check."
As soon as he said these words, a eunuch came in from outside: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Concubine Jin committed suicide in Beigong Garden."
"Concubine Jin?" Empress Dowager Li suddenly thought of something: "Where is she...?"
"Go back to the Queen Mother, I couldn't save her, she's gone, but I left a letter." The eunuch handed the letter to the fourth day of the lunar month.
After checking it on the fourth day of the lunar month, he opened it and handed it to Qi Yixiu.
Qi Yixiu glanced at it a few times and didn't know what to say.
"Take a look at Aijia." Queen Mother Li took it.
After reading it, Queen Mother Li had nothing to say: "Emperor, what do you think of this matter?"
"Wait until the queen mother wakes up." Qi Yixiu pinched his eyebrows and said: "On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, you personally lead people to investigate with Zhu Xulin to see what is going on with this matter."
Saying that, he handed over the letter.
Outside, Shen Chuliu and Ning Zhaorong were standing close to each other. Naturally, the people outside didn't know what was going on, but they had already heard about Concubine Jin's words about hanging herself.
"Why did Princess Jin suddenly... Although Princess Ganquan has gone, it doesn't have to be like this, right?" Shen Chuliu was curious.
Princess Ganquan is the daughter of Princess Jin, a sister of Qi Yixiu. She married into a family with only a title in the imperial city, and her life has been pretty good.
He passed away from an illness about half a year ago. There was nothing wrong with her. It was just that she didn't hold on when she gave birth to the child, and she died together.
Before this, Princess Ganquan had already given birth to three children. This was purely due to bad luck.
In this day and age, giving birth to a child is nothing.
"Tiffany Jin used to be the second-grade concubine of the late emperor. She was favored in her early years, but later she couldn't compete with Princess Yang. She gradually faded away." Ning Zhaorong didn't know much.
Shen Chuliu nodded: "That's a pity." Naturally, they didn't know that it was Princess Jin who poisoned Queen Mother Feng.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, they went to Beigongyuan and saw Princess Jin's residence where the girls were busy dressing her up and had already stopped there.
The place has been surrounded, and besides the letter, the rest of the poison has naturally been found.
Concubine Jin’s personal maids didn’t hide it either, they all acknowledged it.
Zhu Xulin and Chu Si looked at each other and knew that if they recognized him, he would probably die.
As expected, the palace maid's face turned increasingly blue.
"Our empress said that everyone has their own destiny. Empress Dowager Feng knew why our empress's prince disappeared back then. Our empress did not want to take action these years, but it was because of the princess. Now the princess has taken the first step. We have gone, and our empress no longer cares about it. Now we have revenge and injustice. If Empress Dowager Feng is lucky, forget it. If she doesn't succeed, then we can go over there and wait for the late emperor to talk about it. Not too late."
After saying this, the girl couldn't survive anymore. She was rushed to the Imperial Medical Office, and she died before she even got through the door.
Seeing this matter was so confirmed, but how exactly she got started, there was no way to find out from Princess Jin.
We can only look at Empress Dowager Feng, there must be some loopholes.
Empress Dowager Feng woke up at almost noon, and when she heard these things, she didn't lose her composure.
"You mean, the Ai family can't get off the ground now?" She was more concerned about this.
She has been strong all her life, and now she is half paralyzed
This is the cruelest revenge Jin can take on her...
"There's no need to worry, Madam. As long as you take good treatment, you'll be fine." Dr. Song apologized with a smile.
This just can't get better.
Empress Dowager Feng smiled: "That's all. Even if the Ai family can't get up, she is still the queen mother, so she won't be punished. The Jin family... that's all. The fight between the Ai family and her happened for many years, and the Ai family themselves will remember it. Can't help it, her prince... died early, and the Ai family was also sad at that time. Now the sweet spring is gone... "
Empress Dowager Feng sighed: "People are gone too, so let's bury them properly."
Qi Yixiu nodded: "The queen is generous."
"That's all, Aijia is fine. You've been tired all morning, so go back. Aijia doesn't have much energy, so just lie down for a while."
"Now that the queen is up, let's have a meal first. How about I take care of the queen myself?" Qi Yixiu said sincerely.
"No need, the Yi family will come by themselves, you can go back." Empress Dowager Feng smiled.
Empress Dowager Li patted her hand: "Sister, don't think too much, the imperial doctor will find a way."
"Okay, I won't think too much about it." Empress Dowager Feng smiled and patted her hand.
After seeing everyone off, Queen Mother Feng suddenly smiled: "The Ai family is really miserable."
"Your Majesty, the imperial doctors will be able to find a solution." Aunt Zhuang said cautiously.
"Fang Ru, you still don't understand that the good days of the Ai family are over." Empress Dowager Feng smiled: "The Ai family and the Feng family are all over."
"Your Majesty..." Aunt Zhuang burst into tears: "You have suffered so much in your life..."
"You remember Mrs. Chen, right? Her name is Ling Shuang." Queen Mother Feng smiled.
How could I not remember it? Even if I never dared to mention it for the rest of my life, how could Aunt Zhuang forget this person
"Your Majesty, why bother mentioning a deceased person?" Aunt Zhuang's heartbeat accelerated. This name was really a curse.
