"Yes, ma'am!" Nanny Wen took the order to leave. For a while, the harem was full of panic and everyone was in danger, especially those who knew Wang Yuchu were called by Nanny Wen for questioning...
Just after dawn, the news of Wang Yuchu's suicide spread throughout the palace.
From the concubines to the eunuchs and maids, they all secretly said that the empress forced Wang Yuchu to death. The fifth prince's serious illness was clearly an accident, but the empress wanted an innocent person to die as apology. She was so cruel! Mother of a Nation!
Soon, this matter naturally spread back to the queen's ears, but the queen was not shaken by it.
"Your Majesty..." Mother Wen said half worried and half hesitant, "I'm afraid His Majesty has already heard about this..." She was worried that the Empress would do too much and might anger the Emperor.
"So what?" The queen's face was cold, and her voice was as usual, but it made people feel her determination, "I will answer, check, and investigate! What happened, I will bear it all!"
At this time, Xueqin came from outside the palace, with a hint of joy on her face, and told the queen: "I want to tell you, your majesty just sent someone over, let your majesty continue to investigate! Those who dare to murder the emperor's heir must not be let go." !"
Hearing this, everyone in the hall relaxed their expressions. With the emperor's words, they could really boldly look down. Even the queen's eyes flashed a gleam of joy. Although the emperor and her have been indifferent over the years, the key At that time, it seemed that the emperor was still thinking about this old love, thinking that Xiao Wu was his legitimate son after all...
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" A palace maid suddenly rushed into the Queen's bedroom in a panic, "His Royal Highness Fifth Prince has woken up!"
"Little Five..." The Empress was both surprised and delighted. She didn't even bother to arrange her clothes, so she rushed to the fifth prince's bedroom next door, only to find that the fifth prince on the couch still had her eyes tightly closed.
"Your Majesty, the Fifth Prince just woke up, but now he has passed out again." The maid guarding the bed respectfully reported.
"Is this good or bad?" The queen didn't know whether to be happy or panic, she subconsciously lowered the volume, apparently for fear of disturbing the fifth prince. "Come here, go and ask Miss Nangong San to come and have a look!"
Nangong Yue soon came over under the guidance of the maid. She took the fifth prince's pulse carefully, pondered for a while, and then said: "The fifth prince is a sign of improvement. The next step is to take care of the fifth prince. The catastrophe of the fifth prince It will pass. You will be able to wake up in about two days."
"Really?!" the Queen asked in disbelief. This is the first good news she has heard since the fifth prince was seriously ill, "Then please, girl Yue, stay in Fengluan Palace for a few more days to treat the prince properly!"
Nangong Yue nodded her head and said, "It's my duty to serve you!"
The queen had a lot of affairs, so she left afterward. Nangong Yue continued to stay beside the fifth prince, sitting quietly with her eyes downcast, with many thoughts in her heart.
In her previous life, during those years in the cold palace, she had carefully analyzed how Han Lingfu stepped up to the supreme position step by step in the process of seizing the heir.
Since ancient times, it is orthodox to establish a concubine, and to establish a leader without a concubine, and no matter whether it is a concubine or a concubine, Han Lingfu can't touch it. If he wants to rise to the top, there is only one way...
Nangong Yue still remembered that in the previous life, after the death of the fifth prince, the empress seemed to have gone crazy, blindly targeting the eldest prince and his concubine Li Concubine. After some fighting, Concubine Li was finally deposed, and the eldest prince was rejected by the emperor. Judging from the final result, the empress and Concubine Li suffered losses for both sides.
At that time, the emperor decided to compensate the empress by raising a prince under the empress's name. At that time, the suitable candidates were naturally the second prince and the third prince. However, in the previous life, the second prince's biological mother, Concubine Liu, was sick. How could the second prince have the heart to abandon his biological mother and join the queen at this moment , so the third prince, Han Lingfu, was recorded under the empress's name, and gained the status of a legitimate son for nothing...
Therefore, even if Nangong Yue didn't know the cause and effect of the conspiracy at that time, she could easily guess that it was definitely Han Lingfu's method. In addition to being a prostitute and abolishing the chief, his power to seize the progeny is naturally much smoother.
"Heh!" Nangong Yue sneered and picked up the jade pendant on her waist to play with, her heart was full of gloom.
Han Lingfu, oh Han Lingfu, in the last life no one knew what you did because you were too good at disguising. In this life, as long as I, Nangong Yue, are here, any of your plans will never come true!
Now, the fifth prince did not die of poisoning according to the trajectory of his previous life. Nan Gongyue did not believe that everything could still develop according to the trajectory planned by Han Lingfu in his previous life.
…
While Nangong Yue was doing her best to treat the fifth prince, in the main hall of Fengluan Palace, the empress was sitting on the main seat with a cold expression.
"Your Majesty, the servant found out that there was a lot of gold, silver and land deeds in the home of the deceased Royal Chef Wang, and the origin is unknown! This time, fortunately, the servant arrived in time, and Mrs. Wang and the son of Royal Chef Wang were about to pack up their things and abscond..."
The queen slapped the table hard, and said coldly: "Hmph! He also said that the imperial cook was an unintentional mistake. If it was an unintentional mistake, how could there be so many properties of unknown origin in the family? Then, I said that the palace Let's see who wants to kill the emperor's son!" The queen's eyes showed hostility, and her words were full of murderous intent.
Yuan Lu, the chief eunuch of Fengluan Palace, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and then continued: "My lord, the servants have investigated who Wang Yuchu and his family have been in close contact with recently, and found that his son with… with…”
He said the word "and" for a long time, but he still didn't dare to say the result.
"Who?" The Queen spat out a word coldly, obviously a little impatient.
Seeing the queen's gloomy gaze, Yuan Lu's body trembled, his eyes closed, and he finally said: "The servant found out that he has a close relationship with Jin Quan, the nephew of the third prince's companion Li Yuancai's nanny!"
"Third prince!" The queen said these three words one by one, and her heart was full of hatred. Although the Third Prince made a deliberate detour to avoid suspicion, there are no coincidences in this world! There must be tricks in it!
Sitting on the phoenix chair for a long time, it was not until Yuan Lu stepped back and the sky gradually dimmed that the queen came back to her senses.
There was a cold smile on the corner of her mouth, because the emperor's health was not good before, she might not have such a big obsession with seizing the heir, she only wanted the fifth prince to spend his life safely and happily. But now, being forced to such a point, if she doesn't fight back, how can she be worthy of Huang'er's suffering for so many days!
"Concubine Zhang Gui, third prince, since you have done this, you must bear the consequences!" When she said this, the queen's face was as ferocious as a ghost. Now she even suspects that it was Concubine Zhang who poisoned her when she was pregnant!
Nanny Wen was waiting by the side, but she didn't seem to hear or see anything.
After a while, the empress finally calmed down. She got up and said to herself: "I should go to accompany the emperor, so that the emperor won't see me when he wakes up..." In the past few days, the fifth prince has woken up a few more times. But every time he was half asleep and half awake, opened his eyes and babbled a word, then fell into a coma again, if he didn't wake up more and more frequently, the queen would almost lose control of her emotions.
When the queen came to the fifth prince's bed, Nangong Yue was sitting on the side taking care of the fifth prince herself. She wrung out a veil and put it on the fifth prince's forehead to reduce his fever. According to Nangong Yue's diagnosis, as long as the fever subsides, the Fifth Prince should be fully awake immediately.
"See empress!" Nangong Yue stood up and saluted when she saw the queen.
"Girl Yue is free!"
The queen also sat down, holding the fifth prince's little hand tightly with one hand. In the past two days, except for dealing with palace affairs, the queen has been staying here.
In the room, when it was quiet, only the regular breathing of the fifth prince could be heard... I don't know how long it took, the queen suddenly cried out in surprise: "Prince!" She turned her head and said to Nangong Yue, "Yue girl, Huang I just moved my fingers..."
"Your Majesty, please allow your servants to check the pulse of His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince." Nan Gongyue put her right hand on the fifth prince's thin wrist, smiled relievedly, and said softly, "My Lady, Your Highness Fifth Prince is awake! But His Highness is still very weak, I need a good rest." After she finished speaking, she got up and stood aside, not disturbing the mother and son's conversation.
Sure enough, after moving his fingers, the fifth prince's eyelashes also began to tremble slightly, and after a while, he opened those big eyes.
At first, his eyes were still a bit dazed, but the fifth prince rolled his eyes, saw the empress beside him, and weakly called out: "... empress mother!" Just these two words seemed to take all his strength.
After three days of torment, the Fifth Prince became thinner and out of shape. His originally round cheeks were now sunken, and against a pair of big eyes, he looked a little frightening.
But the queen didn't care, she gently stroked the fifth prince's face, tears rolled down, and said repeatedly: "Little Wu, it's good that you wake up! It's good that you wake up!...Stop talking, the queen mother will be here with you Yes." Her heartstrings that had been tensed for so many days finally loosened a bit.
These days, the queen has fear, sadness, anger, and hatred in her heart...all of them are negative emotions, and she has been tortured to the point of insanity. At this moment the fifth prince woke up, all the negative emotions in her heart dissipated, only gratitude remained. I am grateful to God that her emperor did not leave her.
"Your Majesty, I'm going to report to Your Majesty right now." Nanny Li left in a hurry behind Fu.
The surrounding ladies all breathed a sigh of relief, the biggest test has passed! As long as the fifth prince is fine, they will not be angered by the empress!
Even Nangong Yue felt that the boulder that weighed on her heart had finally fallen. Finally, her plan with Guan Yubai had not gone wrong, and this poor child did not lose her life because of her own selfishness!
The queen stared at the fifth prince intently, and said with a trembling voice: "Girl Yue, the emperor is the lifeblood of my palace. If you save the emperor's son, you will save my life! Your kindness, I will remember it." !" After entering the palace gate, it was as deep as the sea. Over the years, she seemed to be glamorous and honored as the empress, but who knew her sufferings. She fought with those concubines, princes and princesses, and even the emperor. ... After so many years of suffering, she has nothing but her little five!
