Chapter 289 Rebellion
The windows in all directions were opened, and the cold winter wind poured in from all directions. Wu Yuanjuan was lying on the ground, unable to move. After a short while, he froze into an ice sculpture.
In Fengzhi Palace, the ground dragon had a very high fever. After taking the medicine, the queen became much more energetic. After Xie Zhiwei examined her pulse with concentration, he pushed her hand into the quilt and breathed a sigh of relief.
In the palace, it is a skill to observe words and expressions. Seeing Xie Zhiwei's expression, although he didn't say anything, the queen knew that she was fine, and she felt relieved.
"Sister Wei, my mother's queen..."
Xie Zhiwei got up quickly and pressed Yuan Jia's hand. Yuan Jia turned his head and saw the emperor striding in, with a happy expression on his face.
It seems that the emperor already knew about the queen's situation in advance.
"Girl Wei, you have made a great contribution this time!" The emperor said, passing Xie Zhiwei and the two who were saluting, and walked to the bedside.
The queen struggled to get up, but the emperor hurriedly held her down and said, "You don't get up, it will be better. How do you feel now?"
"The concubine is much better, and the emperor's son in the stomach is also saved, and the imperial doctor has checked the pulse. Your majesty, it was the little girl who saved the life of the concubine and the child in the concubine's stomach." The queen breathed very weakly, saying these It took a lot of effort.
Xie Zhiwei didn't stop her from the side, knowing that her purpose was not here.
"Your Majesty, this concubine narrowly escaped death and almost never saw the Emperor again."
Now that the conversation has come to this point, the emperor naturally has to ask, "Wei girl, tell me, what happened to the queen this time? Why is it so dangerous?"
Xie Zhiwei knelt down and was about to speak when Lu Yan came in. Behind him were two eunuchs from the Punishment Department, who were holding Qingzhi, whose mouth was stuffed with a cloth, his hair was disheveled, and his body was covered with blood. He was severely punished.
Seeing this, Xie Zhiwei suddenly got up and stepped aside.
Lu Yan turned sideways and blocked Xie Zhiwei behind him. He bowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, Miss Qingzhi was about to commit suicide, but I was caught by the minister. She has already recruited."
After finishing speaking, Lu Yan deliberately glanced at Xie Zhiwei who was behind him, the emperor naturally understood, and said to Yuan Jia, "You and Wei girl go down, I have important matters to deal with."
Xie Zhiwei couldn't ask for more, thanked her quickly, and went out of the palace gate with Yuan Jia, before going out, she couldn't help but glance back, Xie Zhiwei felt her gaze fell on Qingzhi, and her heart ached.
The imperial palace is a place where blood is not seen.
In the hall, Lu Yan made a gesture, and one of the eunuchs took out the cloth from Qingzhi's mouth. Qingzhi spat a mouthful of blood on the ground, and looked at the queen on the bed with fierce and desperate eyes.
The Queen closed her eyes and turned her head away.
Nanny Xi went forward, put down the curtain on the bed, and stood in front of the bed in a guarding posture.
"Say it! Why did you murder your master?" The emperor was also very surprised, not at all afraid that the queen was here, he took a sip from the tea cup, held back his anger, and put it heavily on the table.
The **** kicked Qingzhi's knee, and her legs hit the ground fiercely, still stubbornly refusing to bow her head, "If I don't do this, my parents, brother, sister-in-law and nephew will all die! "
After Qingzhi said these words, he burst into tears, "Empress, the servants don't want to, but the servants can't live alone. The servants have parents, sisters-in-law, and nephews. Some people force the servants, the servants Had to do it."
"You are not afraid. If you do this, the Marquis of Wu'an, the emperor will not let you go? Murdering my palace, the prince, is it a misdemeanor? Are you not afraid that the emperor will destroy your nine clans?" The queen's words came from the bed faintly. .
"Who told you to do this?" The queen said through gritted teeth. She raised her hand and opened the curtain. Under the excitement, she felt a little uncomfortable in her abdomen, and quickly adjusted her breathing.
Qingzhi took out a one-thousand tael bank note from his pocket, put it on the ground, kowtowed three times to the queen, then stood up abruptly and rushed towards the pillar.
The **** of the Punishment Division would not let her get what she wanted, and quickly grabbed her. Although Aokiji's head hit the pillar heavily, it was not fatal.
"Speak up, you won't suffer more if you say it!" Lu Yan's soft voice had a soothing effect, Qingzhi whimpered and cried, and finally said, "It was Jingfu Palace Zhuang who found the slave girl and gave her the Seven Star Grass, Let the servants poison the Queen's Empress with the poison of the Seven Star Grass."
Seven Star Grass? The main medicinal material used to refine seven-star Gu poison.
The emperor was furious and slammed his palm on the table, "Are you telling the truth?"
"Slaves and servants dare not deceive the king, and there is no lie!"
The queen's voice sounded again, "You dare to murder the lives of Ben Gong and the emperor, what else do you dare not do? How does Ben Gong treat you? You have followed Ben Gong for so many years, and Ben Gong has never even snapped a finger. You are half a cent, but you can betray me, until now, I don't know what makes you hate me so far!"
The queen said, "You said that Nanny Zhuang asked you to come? You are talking nonsense. Bengong and Concubine Ningde are like sisters. They have loved each other for so many years. Why did she want to kill Bengong? Even if Bengong gave birth to a son, the fourth prince has grown up Now that he's an adult, what's the hindrance to him? You say that Concubine Ning De asked you to come, I don't believe you!"
The queen sighed faintly, "Your Majesty, Qingzhi followed the concubine, and now the concubine and the emperor are well, and the concubine wants to ask for a favor for her, so that she can go on the road with peace of mind, without implicating her family. Children accumulate blessings!"
"Since this matter is related to Gyeongbokgung Palace, Ah Yan, you go to Concubine Xuan Ning De to come here to see me!" The emperor obviously did not intend to let this matter go.
"Your Majesty!" The queen's voice was as weak as a gnat, "The concubine is already very tired, and it's the new year. Your majesty, the harem cannot be disturbed just because the concubine is alone."
The emperor thought of how much suffering the empress had suffered for the sake of his son-in-law over the years, and had miscarriages one after another. He thought that this time she was dangerous several times. She did not dare to disclose her pregnancy before, and finally raised the fetus for four months, but he said it was leaked After a few days of hard work, he almost lost his life.
At this moment, she is still taking care of the overall situation.
The emperor stood up suddenly, "Ah Yan, give me a thorough investigation. If you have a bad year, you will have a bad year. The whole family will rule the country and the world. If I can't even manage my family, how will I govern the country and the world?"
Seven Star Grass, there is such a thing as Seven Star Grass in his harem!
Inside the veil, the Queen slowly raised the corners of her lips, and a cold light like a blade flashed in her eyes. In this harem, if she wanted to, there was nothing she could hide from her. Ever since she knew that Jingfu Palace had such things as safflower fruit, and that Nanny Zhuang had come to look for Qingzhi, she decided to use her tricks.
It's just that she would never really drink the safflower fruit foolishly, but took the pill Xie Zhiwei gave in advance, and she arranged for someone to change the tea with safflower fruit in the little maid's hand.
The third update!
