The Queen Mother was so frightened by Ye Zhen's actions that her heart stopped and she almost rushed forward and threw the bird's nest to the ground!
Fortunately, she has been the most tolerant over the years, and she endured the shock in her heart and said: "Ye Zhen, you drank this bird's nest, how could you pass it on to Yu'er? It's so against the rules, not to mention that Yu'er never likes to drink these things, even if you want to drink it, you should drink it separately. Do it again, please come and ask the imperial kitchen to send another cup of bird's nest."
Immediately someone from the palace went to deliver the order.
Ye Zhen smiled cutely and innocently: "Your Majesty, the Prince Regent and I are deeply in love, but what's the fuss over drinking a cup of bird's nest together? And I haven't touched this bird's nest before. Does the Prince Regent dislike it?"
The Queen Mother said: "It has been there for so long and it should be cold now. In that case, let's warm it up before drinking it."
"Don't bother. It's so hot today, so it tastes best if it's cold. It's best if it's chilled."
"Yu'er is born with a noble body. How can you be careless? What if you get sick? Can you afford this responsibility?"
"The regent has always been in good health, how could he get sick?" Ye Zhen's eyes were full of doubts, "Since the queen mother objects like this, then forget it and stop drinking."
Wei Ziyu had a headache. What he feared most now was not the court, but the conflict between his wife and his mother. Although the two of them did not fight as loudly as ordinary people, they were the ones who tormented him.
Ye Zhen felt a little sad. She put the bird's nest she was holding into Wei Ziyu's hand: "I just remember the regent's hard work in politics, and I have no other meaning."
Wei Ziyu took the bird's nest and said: "Of course I know that the emperor feels sorry for his ministers. Mother, the emperor and I are often together. She knows that I like to drink cold drinks. I often drink the bird's nests given to her. Mother. Don’t worry, if I just drink something cold and fall ill, how much energy will I have to deal with matters in the DPRK?”
The Queen Mother almost fainted: "...you, do you often drink Ye Zhen's bird's nest?"
Even the old nun behind the Queen Mother, who was fanning the fan, had her hands shaking so much that she couldn't even hold the fan steady. She lowered her head and looked at her insteps, fearing that others would notice her.
Wei Ziyu nodded and said yes. Ye Zhen had a small appetite. A cup of bird's nest went into his stomach within a few sips. Maybe it was because he drank too much. He really felt that his body seemed to be much better and he had more energy. It was perfect, even if he was exhausted physically and mentally from being in court, the next second he saw Ye Zhen, he felt a hundred times more energetic.
He wanted to rule this great land and let Ye Zhen be a carefree emperor for the rest of her life.
In his opinion, Ye Zhen is more effective than any supplement and can replenish any energy he loses at any time.
Ye Zhen also said: "I feel sorry for the regent. Of course I won't eat alone."
The Queen Mother's lips trembled and her face was pale and ugly. She never thought that the meal sent to Ningshou Palace would end up in her son's stomach! Obviously he doesn't like drinking these things. In the past, she asked the imperial kitchen to make tonic soup, and he didn't pay much attention to it. At most, he just drank a few perfunctory sips, but now...
This Mrs. Ye is indeed a witch who has brought disaster to the country, and her son's soul has been taken away!
If those things were really drunk by Yu'er, the consequences would be too terrible. The Queen Mother did not dare to think too much about it, and she hated Ye Zhen even more, wishing to cut her into pieces! But she couldn't show it yet, so she had to cover her forehead and said, "Just leave it alone. I'm tired and want to take a rest. You all can go back."
Wei Ziyu immediately asked if he should ask the imperial doctor to come and take a look
The Queen Mother said there is no need for you to leave quickly. By the way, put down the bird's nest.
Ye Zhen held the small spoon again and looked at Wei Ziyu with bright eyes: "Prince Regent, drink it first. Seeing that you work too hard every day, I feel very sorry for you. You should take more supplements and don't waste it. "
This porcelain cup is really not big, Wei Ziyu can drink it all in one gulp.
He saw a little naughty and serious look at the corner of her mouth. He didn't know why his body felt hot, but he always felt that Ye Zhen meant something.
In fact, it was just a cup of bird's nest. There was really nothing to argue about. He held it and wanted to drink it all in one gulp. He didn't even use a spoon. Just as he was about to bring it to his mouth, he felt a sudden strong push. Wei Ziyu only felt his hand As soon as it hurt, the bird's nest shattered and scattered all over the floor!
The whole hall fell into silence.
The palace people all knelt down, their heads on the ground without daring to raise their heads.
Wei Ziyu felt numbness on the back of his hand, then looked at the debris and bird's nests on the ground, and then at the Queen Mother who was standing in front of him with a livid face and extremely angry. She asked loudly: "Yu'er, you are really going towards this goblin, she said You listen to everything, what is the difference between what you are doing now and your father? Where do you put your mother?"
Wei Ziyu completely did not expect that the Queen Mother would suddenly have a seizure and be so excited. He looked at the Queen Mother, then looked at Ye Zhen who was frightened and took two steps back, and said: "Mother, I didn't mean that. Don't be too much. think."
Ye Zhen said: "Queen Mother, the regent is different from the late emperor. The regent serves the country and the people and is a good man."
The Queen Mother held her head and looked disappointed as she had a headache: "That's enough, you all can go, I want to be alone for a while."
"Queen mother..."
"Yu'er, let's go."
The Queen Mother didn't seem to want to say anything more. She looked extremely tired and allowed the old nanny to help her back to the back of the palace to rest.
Wei Ziyu had no choice but to take Ye Zhen back to Ningshou Palace first. The two of them walked back together. Ye Zhen pursed her lips and looked a little unhappy as she walked.
"Still thinking about what happened just now?"
"It seems that the Queen Mother will not accept me. Prince Regent, you will be in trouble in the future."
Wei Ziyu chuckled, took her little hand and squeezed it.
He was not a fool. He knew that this conflict was unavoidable when he decided to make Ye Zhen his wife, but he had no other way. After all, Ye Zhen was the woman he liked. He wanted her and wanted her to stand by his side. For He can do this without resorting to any means.
Later, when Ye Zhen really entered the palace, he was actually worried that the Queen Mother would dislike Ye Zhen and bully her. So when Ye Zhen asked him for the throne, he agreed after thinking about it.
The supremacy of the throne gave Ye Zhen a shield and a life-saving talisman to travel unimpeded in the palace. This gave her more say than the favor he gave her. He was not worried about impeachment in the court, let alone those who had no real power. Brother, the court is in his hands, and he also has such great military power. As long as he does not arouse the anger of the people like the late emperor, and survives the initial chaos and turmoil, the people will be able to accept Ye Zhen's existence, and the officials will have nothing to say. It can be said.
What's more, he has never seen any precedent where mother-in-law and daughter-in-law can get along well.
"Zhen Zhen, please give birth to a child for me quickly, so my mother won't have the energy to oppose us."
"The Prince Regent is so greedy that he actually wants me to give you a child!"
"Please, Your Majesty, be considerate of me."
"I want to think about it carefully." She suddenly stood up and opened her arms and said, "If the regent carries me back to the palace, I will give birth to your child."
Wei Ziyu looked at the petite woman who was no taller than his shoulders. She looked even more childish in her large yellow robe. At this moment, she opened her arms to hug her. She was different from her usual graceful and elegant appearance, but more delicate like a little girl.
He knelt down resignedly and said, "Come up."
Sure enough, Ye Zhen threw herself on his back, hugged his neck with her slender arms, and said with her sweet breath in his ear: "Prince Regent, I lied to you, I will not give you a child!"
Wei Ziyu's face turned dark and he pinched her plump buttocks: "The emperor's golden words are true, don't go back on them."
"I am not the emperor now, I am your wife."
He looked at the sky and said: "...Okay, I'll be considerate of you once I'm born again after a while."
Ye Zhen burst out laughing, she whispered in his ear: "Ziyu, I want you to carry me back to the palace, and you have to run very fast."
Soon, almost the entire palace knew that their regent had carried the emperor all the way from Kunning Palace back to Ningshou Palace. Everyone said that the regent doted on the emperor so much that he could even pluck the stars from the sky.
In the past, he would still be angry with her because of his pride, but now he can't express any anger at all. Pampering is pampering, love is love, and there is nothing to hide.
The Queen Mother of Kunning Palace was already so anxious because Wei Ziyu almost drank the cup of bird's nest. Now that she heard that Wei Ziyu actually carried Ye Zhen away, she was even more heartbroken. She didn't understand why the majestic emperor was willing to be betrayed. He holds a woman in the palm of his hand. He is the emperor. What kind of woman does he want? Why does it have to be the widow who has been married, and the whole family is still imprisoned in prison? How can such a woman get the favor of the royal family
Although she was angry, she didn't play with it anymore. Her son had already drank the bird's nest several times. She asked anxiously: "How many times have you sent the bird's nest to Ningshou Palace?"
The old nanny said: "I have been back to the Queen Mother about eight times."
That is to say, half of the poison has been poisoned. Yu'er cannot drink it every time. "Let the imperial doctor go to Yu'er and see if the poison can be cleaned out. I will say that this Ye family is a goblin who is harmful to others." Myself, if my Yu'er has anything, I must let her be buried with her!"
The old grandma still had some sense: "I asked the imperial doctor to come over for no reason. What should I do if the regent asks?"
"Just say that I was worried, so I asked the imperial doctor to come over for treatment."
"But..." The old nanny was very embarrassed, "There is no antidote for this medicine. If the regent has been deeply poisoned, then..."
"Impossible! My Yu'er is the right one, how could he be knocked down by a little poison? Yu'er has taken it two or three times at most, and the poison has not penetrated deep into the bone marrow. Let the imperial doctor go over and take a look immediately!"
The old grandma agreed and asked, will Ye's side continue to administer medicine
... How dare you do this
The Queen Mother hesitated: "Wait, wait."
It's not a pity for a Ye family to die, but her Yu'er must not be harmed.
Wei Ziyu carried Ye Zhen all the way to Ningshou Palace. Not long after he sat down, he went to the study room. There were still many political matters waiting for him to deal with. Ye Zhen also went. Wei Ziyu was watching the memorial in the front hall. She was in the Behind the hall, he lay down and read a book.
After a while, the imperial doctor came. Li Wen was still wondering why the regent still wanted to see the imperial doctor when his health was not very good. It was explained there that they came on the orders of the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother was worried that the Regent was ill, so she came to take a look.
Li Wen went into the palace to report. Wei Ziyu thought about it and said, "Let the imperial doctor come in."
Although he felt that he did not need to see the imperial doctor, he had just made the Queen Mother angry. If he refused the imperial doctor called by the Queen Mother at this time, he was afraid that the conflict would deepen. He could only put down his things for the time being and let the imperial doctor take his pulse.
Ye Zhen heard the commotion and came out. When she saw the imperial doctor, she asked, "Is the regent sick?"
Wei Ziyu: "No, the queen mother was worried that I was ill, so she called the imperial doctor to take my pulse."
Ye Zhen: "The Queen Mother is still thoughtful."
In fact, Wei Ziyu felt a little strange in his heart. Although the Queen Mother was a little emotional, she had always maintained her status and rarely lost her composure. It was the first time that she had broken something in front of him in anger like this. She immediately called the imperial doctor... He couldn't help but feel a little bit confused. He became confused, could it be...impossible? He didn't touch the bird's nest, so there was no need for an imperial doctor at all. He only thought it was abnormal because of the things he had done recently that greatly irritated the Queen Mother, so he quickly put it aside.
The imperial doctor checked her pulse and said that the regent's health was not serious, which was within Wei Ziyu's expectation. He then said, "Can you take a look at the emperor to see if she is okay?"
The imperial doctor took Ye Zhen's pulse again. Unexpectedly, he was surprised and confused and asked: "The emperor has been getting more and more sleepy recently?"
Ye Zhen said: "Yes, I seem to never get enough sleep every day."
Wei Ziyu was surprised that he knew Ye Zhen's sleepiness best, but he didn't take it as a big deal. After all, he and her went to bed very late every night, and even if they went to bed early, they had a lot of love before getting up early. He spent all his endless energy on her. She cried out that she was tired every day and would go to bed when she was tired.
So what's weird about this
The imperial doctor over there asked about some recent habits one after another, and all of them were answered one by one. The imperial doctor's face did not look as relaxed as before, but rather serious.
Wei Ziyu's heart skipped a beat, and he glanced at the pretty and happy Ye Zhen beside him, and said, "Your Majesty, you are just lazy. There is nothing going on here. Please step aside first."
The imperial doctor wisely left. Wei Ziyu pulled Ye Zhen and sat on his lap, kissed her forehead and said, "It seems that I will let you rest more in the future."
Ye Zhen leaned on his shoulder, her two little feet dangling in the air. She squeezed his arm when she heard this, and yawned in time: "I'm sleepy again, I want to take a nap."
Wei Ziyu patted her back: "Well, go to sleep."
She was always a heavy sleeper, and she fell into a deep sleep after a while. When Wei Ziyu saw her sleeping, he carried her to the back of the palace and placed her on his temporary bed.
He sat on the edge of the bed for a while, stroking her cheek with his fingers, and her warm breath fell on his palm.
After a while, he got up and went out, called the imperial doctor again, and asked the emperor what the disease was.
The imperial doctor said that the emperor may have been poisoned. This kind of poison is colorless and odorless. It was passed down from the previous dynasty. Generally, a woman who was poisoned would hardly notice that she was poisoned. She would just become more and more lethargic and weak, and her body would become bone-shattering day by day. It's better to sleep for one day until you sleep forever.
He knew about this poison because the late emperor learned from Xu Mingshan when he was still alive. Xu Mingshan had a master who liked to study such difficult and complicated diseases and strange poisons in the world. His master actually developed a drug to fake death. He didn't believe it at first, but he believed it after Qin Zheng came back from the dead.
He had heard of such symptoms, and they were very consistent with Ye Zhen's condition, so he made a guess...
Wei Ziyu's face was extremely cold. The servants serving Ye Zhen were all carefully selected by him. The first thing he had to guarantee was their loyalty. But now they were taken advantage of by someone under his care!
He immediately asked the imperial physician to cleanse Ye Zhen of the poison. The imperial physician said, "There is no cure for this poison. I am so frightened that I have betrayed the divine grace!"
"Call everyone from the Imperial Hospital. If the Emperor's poison cannot be cured, you will be buried with the Emperor!"
The imperial doctor immediately knelt down and said anxiously: "Doctor Xu should be the person who knows this poison best. If we can find him, the emperor's poison may be easily cured!"
Wei Ziyu thought for a long time, recruited several imperial doctors to secretly diagnose and treat the matter, and ordered that the matter should not be made public. Then he wrote a letter to Qin Zheng in person for the first time, urging him to send Xu Mingshan to the capital immediately.
After that, there will be strict investigation.
Wei Ziyu could not accept that Ye Zhen would leave him and die.
Ye Zhen slept for two hours before getting up. When she woke up, she felt like she was trapped in a tight embrace. She was almost used to it. She turned around and looked at the handsome man. She poked his cheek, pulled his ears, and pulled his hair... He finally couldn't help it, held her troublemaking little hand and kissed it: "Be good, don't make trouble."
She hummed, turned over and sat on his abdomen, Wei Ziyu said, "Huh?"
Ye Zhen pointed at him and said: "I have had enough rest, and now I want to visit you."
Wei Ziyu: "..."
His throat twitched, and he saw Ye Zhen, who was half-dressed, with a bright red face, and was as beautiful as a fairy.
Seeing that he didn't move, she lay down, poked his cheek and asked, "Don't you want to have a baby, Prince Regent?"
Wei Ziyu was filled with desire and desire and was driven into the abyss by this sentence. He suddenly hugged her tightly and pressed her head on his neck.
The imperial doctor said that the poison had not penetrated deeply and could live longer. If it was discovered too late, it would be gone in less than three months. But it's still early. If the poison can be detoxified, then life will be safe. If it can't be detoxified, if it is cared for carefully, it can live for a year or two.
How can one or two years be enough? He wants to live his whole life, and he will have life after life.
"If you don't want to give birth, forget it." Ye Zhen pushed him away and crawled to get out of bed. The man grabbed her back, kissed her cheek and said, "I want to give birth, why don't you give birth?"
Wei Ziyu's strong and domineering attitude is clearly demonstrated in bed. Gentleness has nothing to do with him. Every time, he looks like he wants to kill her. It's best if she can cry and beg for mercy and he will be satisfied. He is also particularly good at being evil. , sometimes he can hold her and press her on the dragon case regardless of care...
This time he was incredibly gentle. Ye Zhen was so tortured by his gentleness that she almost cried. She grabbed his hair and said angrily: "Prince Regent, if you torture me like this again, I will get angry!"
Wei Ziyu kissed her forehead: "Zhen Zhen, call me by my name."
Ye Zhen snorted a few times and said: "Ziyu, no more..."
He kissed her lips, his heart trembling with pain, and he was already thinking about cutting the poisoner into pieces.
…
The eight-hundred-mile urgent secret letter was quickly delivered to Qin Zheng. After reading it, he was shocked. He immediately asked someone to take Xu Mingshan, who was in the city for a free clinic, back to the Han Palace and gave the secret letter directly to Xu Mingshan. After seeing it, I asked him: "Is there any way to detoxify it?"
Xu Mingshan frowned and said, "I just heard my master talk about it. I haven't really solved it, and I don't know if I can solve it..."
Qin Zheng's solemn face became more and more ugly, "I don't know where your master is now. It's not easy to find him. The longer time goes by, I don't know what will happen in the end..."
He didn't dare to think about that outcome.
Xu Mingshan was also very worried: "Miss Ye knows some medicine herself, how come she didn't find out that she was poisoned?"
Qin Zheng was stunned and looked at Xu Mingshan in surprise: "You said Ye Zhen has some medical skills?"
Xu Mingshan looked at Qin Zheng strangely and asked him, "Don't you know?" Miss Ye knew some medical skills, but he didn't know about this until he was in the palace, because at that time Miss Ye told him that the medical book on difficult and complicated diseases was sent by her, but she didn't tell him because she was afraid of trouble. She asked him for anti-pregnancy medicine on the grounds of medical records, but she hoped he wouldn't tell anyone because she didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble, and she didn't want to become famous.
Xu Mingshan said: "Brother Qin, I thought you knew?"
Qin Zheng's solemn face suddenly turned pale. He clenched his palms and suddenly covered his lips and coughed violently. He coughed so heart-wrenchingly that Xu Mingshan was so frightened that he thought he had said something wrong.
Qin Zheng's face turned pale after coughing, and he laughed miserably after coughing: "She knows, it turns out she knows..."
Ye Zhen knew medical skills and she was often with him. She must have discovered that his illness was fake. Since he was pretending to be ill, there must have been other arrangements.
And she treated him tenderly, relied on him, loved him, and told him time and time again that she wanted to be together for the rest of her life, not because of anything else, but because she knew he might leave, and she hoped he could trust her. But he didn't. He was too afraid of falling short, so he secretly decided to run away.
And the "child-avoiding medicine" that Xu Mingshan said was the second chance she gave him.
She definitely had nothing to do with Wei Ziyu at that time. When she wanted to avoid Zi Yao, she was warning him and telling him that she was not safe in the palace. She wanted him to pick her up and tell her the truth.
She also has a delicate heart. It's a pity that he thought he knew her, but maybe he never really understood her.
He was so furious that he actually vomited a mouthful of blood!
Xu Mingshan was shocked: "Brother Qin, take care of yourself!"
Qin Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "I pride myself on being smart, but I am mistaken for being smart. It turns out that I was terribly wrong!"
He calmed down for a long time, but still felt that the blood was boiling in his heart and it was difficult to calm down. It was not until a long time ago that he summoned his subordinates and ordered them to search for Doctor Xu. In addition, Xu Mingshan went to Dawei first to see if Ye Zhen was okay.
Of course Xu Mingshan obliged, so he packed his luggage that day and was escorted to Beijing.
Qin Zheng still had to wait for news about Old Doctor Xu. He also went to the places where Old Doctor Xu frequented and asked many people, but the results he got in the end were all specious.
Old Doctor Xu's whereabouts are elusive, and he has always kept a low profile and doesn't like to be extravagant. It is difficult to be noticed if he blends in with the crowd. It is still very difficult to find this person. And he was still thinking about Ye Zhen in Beijing. She was ill, and this time it might really be a matter of life and death.
…
On the other hand, the Queen Mother was not feeling well and she called the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment. By the way, she asked the Prince Regent if he was well. The imperial doctor was silent for a moment and said that the regent was in good health and the queen mother could rest assured.
Just this hesitation made the Queen Mother's heart skip a beat, something bad had happened!
Because of this matter, the Queen Mother had not rested well for several days, and her eyes turned green. The old nanny advised: "If the Regent is really poisoned, it must be very shallow. There are so many imperial doctors in the palace, and they will definitely be safe and sound. "
The Queen Mother was in panic all day long. Firstly, she was worried that the poison in Wei Ziyu's body would not be cured. Secondly, she was worried that Wei Ziyu would find out about Kunning Palace. How would she explain it then? Third, are you worried that the relationship between mother and child will be affected by this
