"Your Majesty..." Eunuch Wei wanted to say that Concubine Jing didn't push him, but before he could speak, the emperor said coldly, "Shut up!"

Eunuch Wei shut up.

The emperor looked at Concubine Jing, who had a wounded face. For some reason, he lost the pity he had in the past, and was replaced by a touch of resistance and doubt.

I do not have.

Concubine Jing didn't say this.

Because she knows the effect of this medicine better than anyone else.

"The concubine didn't have it." The little nun argued, "It's Eunuch Wei who didn't stand firm."

The emperor said in a cold voice, "How come he didn't stand still when he was so good?"

Eunuch Wei: Uh... It's true that I didn't stand firm!

Concubine Jing gave the emperor one last look, squeezed the veil, turned and walked away!

"Empress Concubine! Empress Dowager!" The little nun followed helplessly. She kept looking back until she stepped out of the threshold, hoping that the emperor could keep Concubine Jing, but the emperor didn't.

The emperor looked at Concubine Jing's retreating back, and looked dazed for a moment, but only for a moment, then went to the study with a serious face.

Eunuch Wei was completely at a loss, he screened his servants and said to Gu Jiao, "Miss Gu, have you seen it? Is there something wrong with Your Majesty? He wasn't like this before, did he quarrel with the concubine? Is it? Or was it stimulated by something?"

Gu Jiao didn't answer him, but asked, "Did Princess Jing really not push you just now?"

Wei Gonggong said: "No! Your Majesty made a mistake! I really fell, and it has nothing to do with the concubine! It's really strange..."

"When did your majesty become like this?"

"Girl Gu means..."

"It's just that you are suddenly indifferent to the concubine."

Ah, Eunuch Wei suddenly realized that he had been looking for a word to describe His Majesty, but after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't come up with it.

He said: "It didn't take long for the majesty to arrest Cai mama in anger yesterday, and Hui'an, who was beside the concubine the concubine, came to report that the concubine did not eat or drink for the whole day. Going to visit the concubine. Your Majesty is so laborious, he fell asleep halfway through the meal, and that's it when he wakes up!"

Oh, it seems that someone moved the medicine in the black bottle.

The godfather is really right, there are people who like to be smart but be mistaken by it.

Eunuch Wei looked at the corners of Gu Jiao's lips, and for some reason, his scalp became numb: "Miss Gu, what are you laughing at?"

Gu Jiao blinked: "It's nothing, it's fine, Your Majesty is fine, you don't have to worry."

Eunuch Wei was suspicious: "You really don't need to worry?"

Gu Jiao waved her hand: "No, no, Your Majesty is very good, I have nothing to do, I will go to my aunt's place first!"

"Ah, I will send Miss Gu." Eunuch Wei sent the person out of Huaqing Palace.

Gu Jiao went to Renshou Palace. Empress Dowager Zhuang had just left the court and read the book in the study.

Her book is different from the emperor's book. She is looking at the first-hand book of the six books. Only the one she agrees to submit will be sent to the emperor by the ministers, so the emperor's daily review is actually second-hand book...

Sad emperor.

Gu Jiao did not disturb her aunt and went to the side hall to find Eunuch Qin.

Qin Gongzheng took his little son to bask in the sun on the grass, and when he saw Gu Jiao coming over, his first reaction was to protect his little son!

Gu Jiao: "..."

"Cough cough!" Yeo Mo realized that he had overreacted, Eunuch Qin coughed twice, put the little bastard into the pool without a trace, and said to Gu Jiao, "Miss Gu is here? The sun is shining, go. Can you sit in the pavilion for a while?"

He will never admit that he is worried that Miss Gu will smash his little bastard again.

Although Miss Gu didn't do it on purpose, the little prince was scared, and he felt it deeply.

"Alright." Gu Jiao didn't refuse.

The two went to the pavilion, and Eunuch Qin came over with tea and snacks.

Gu Jiao said, "Eunuch Qin, the Empress Dowager and Her Majesty had signs of discord before the death of the late Emperor, until the late Emperor passed away, His Majesty ascended the throne, and the Empress Dowager refused to let go of power."

Eunuch Qin nodded: "Yes, that's right."

It seems that the medicine was taken before His Majesty ascended the throne, but the efficacy of this medicine is not achieved overnight. way back.

If this is the case, His Majesty's disgust for Princess Jing also needs to gradually deepen through repeated "misunderstandings".

"Well, I thought I would be able to ask His Majesty to bring Long Yingwei back soon." Gu Jiao murmured.

"What did Miss Gu say?" Eunuch Qin didn't hear clearly.

"Oh, it's nothing." Don't worry, I have bullied my aunt for so long. Anyway, I will ask her to collect some interest first. Gu Jiao said without changing her face, "I mean... Hasn't my aunt suspected that someone has given medicine to His Majesty?" Gu Jiao ask.

Eunuch Qin sighed: "Well, the late emperor was seriously ill at that time, and the Liu family and the court were in chaos. Who would have thought of this? They all thought that the two had a dispute because of the late emperor's illness."

Gu Jiao paused: "What's the point of arguing about your illness?"

Qin Gong said: "The first emperor suffered from a head disease at that time. The imperial doctor of Zhao State and the doctor were helpless. The imperial court invited a doctor from Yan State. The doctor said that to cure this disease, the skull must be opened.

Gu Jiao touched her chin: "Auntie advocates craniotomy, but His Majesty doesn't agree?"

With her aunt's temperament, she should be bold enough to try, but His Majesty is more conservative.

Unexpectedly, Eunuch Qin shook his head: "No, Miss Gu guessed wrong. It was His Majesty who advocated the opening of the skull, but the Queen Mother did not agree."

"What happened?" Gu Jiao was surprised.

Eunuch Qin nodded again: "Yes. But in fact, before that, the two had several disputes, but they were not known to outsiders. What was the reason for the first dispute, the old slave does not remember, and neither does the queen mother. , Too many years have passed. In any case, in the eyes of outsiders, the two broke up because of whether or not to open the skull of the late emperor."

"Did you open it last?" Gu Jiao was more curious about this.

Eunuch Qin shook his head: "No, the late emperor passed away before the dispute between the two came to a conclusion."

Gu Jiao said again: "Then... when did the Empress Dowager and Concubine Jing break up?"

Qin Gonggong said: "It was in the last few days before the death of the first emperor. The queen mother had a fight with the concubine Jing, and the queen mother slapped the concubine Jing. The old slave was waiting outside, and I didn't hear what the two were arguing about. , I only know that from then on, the Queen Mother no longer interacts with Concubine Jing."

With the temperament of my aunt, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, she is willing to take any risks. She is a woman who is more decisive and brave than men. Even if the two disagree, even the emperor agrees. How can the aunt be more conservative than the emperor

Could it be that Doctor Yan Guo has a problem

Or to guess a little boldly, that doctor was brought by Concubine Jing to murder the late emperor.

It was only that Concubine Jing's conspiracy was discovered by her aunt, so her aunt opposed the craniotomy, and because the emperor was drugged, he obeyed Concubine Jing and rebelled against her aunt in every possible way, so the latter advocated craniotomy.

So the emperor really died

What exactly was written on the decree he left before his death

Empress Dowager Zhuang came over after reading the book, and Gu Jiao saw that she was dressed up and looking like she was going to go out, so she couldn't help asking: "Huh

Empress Dowager Zhuang rolled her eyes: "Don't you want to play with that stupid emperor?"

"No need." Gu Jiao curled her lips, "Auntie has been working hard these days. In the future, Auntie won't have to force herself to act with His Majesty."

If you were a normal person, you should ask why, but Empress Dowager Zhuang didn't ask this. She said, "Will you return the candied fruit?"

Gu Jiao spread her hands: "If you don't act, of course you won't give it."

Empress Dowager Zhuang's face darkened.

play!

She's going to play!

Just play five candied fruit!

Then Empress Dowager Zhuang lifted the phoenix robe and went to Huaqing Palace!

Does this girl think her acting is not good enough!

Hmph, it's a big deal, she just needs to work harder!

There are a lot of discounts today.

Last night, Empress Dowager Zhuang called him to discuss the matter. The news that the Crown Princess broke the Kun Bureau has been sent to the other five countries. Among them, Liang Guo, Zhao Guo, and Chen Guo have all replied, expressing their appreciation to the Crown Princess and congratulations to Zhao Guo. And the three kingdoms all sent invitations to the princess of Zhao.

Empress Dowager Zhuang's original intention was to let the two of them breathe well first, so as not to quarrel again in the courtroom.

He didn't go.

As a result, the Jinluan Palace was really noisy in the early morning today.

There are those who advocate going to Liang State. Liang State is the upper state, and making good relations with it will benefit Zhao State and not harm it at all.

There are those who advocate going to Zhao State. After all, Mr. Meng Lao’s hometown, Pucheng, is in Zhao State, and Pucheng is known as the chess capital.

There are also proposals to go to the Chen State, because the monarch of the Chen State is about to confer a new queen, and the crown princess and the envoys go to participate in the ceremony of conferring the queen, killing two birds with one stone.

The emperor was having a headache, and the palace servant reported that Mrs. Zhuang was late.

The emperor didn't think much about it, thinking that he was here to discuss this matter, he took a cup of tea and took a sip of tea, only to hear a powerful call from the door: "Hong'er—"

The emperor's dragon body shook, and the teacup in his hand flew out!
