"Your Majesty, your Majesty is not well. Concubine An committed suicide," she said.

The queen's expression changed slightly.

"Can't be saved?" she asked anxiously.

"It's saved, it's saved." The palace maid whispered, "I just won't eat and I won't take any more medicine."

The queen sighed and looked at Cheng Jiaoniang.

"Concubine An has a deep love for His Majesty. She almost collapsed after hearing the news. Perhaps, I should learn from Concubine An and go with him when His Majesty returns home." She said.

"Yes, this way the queen can be buried with honor, have a beautiful body, and avoid suffering in the future." Cheng Jiaoniang said.

As soon as these words came out, the queen looked stunned.

"Ms. Cheng, I still underestimate your courage," she said.

"Folk women just don't like telling lies." Cheng Jiaoniang said.

"Then your truth is too exaggerated." The queen shook her head, "I am the queen, even if the emperor is gone, I am still the queen."

"The empress knows very well that if she establishes King Qing as the crown prince and then meditates internally, the empress dowager will inevitably listen to politics behind the curtain." Cheng Jiaoniang said.

"Then I am the Empress Dowager." The Queen said.

"That's not necessarily the case. Empress Dowager Yang can also be demoted to a commoner and freeze to death and starve to death." Cheng Jiaoniang said. [Note 1]

The queen's expression changed slightly.

"But I don't have Jian Nanfeng." She raised her eyebrows and said.

"But there will be Emperor Hui in our dynasty." Cheng Jiaoniang said, "There was Emperor Hui first, and then there was Jia Nanfeng."

"Even with Jia Nanfeng, my father's family is not a minister who has power." The queen shook her hand and said, "Ms. Cheng, you think too much. I am just a woman. I have no control over the affairs of the court and I don't understand. The previous dynasty has

Ministers are responsible for the matter. If the country is prosperous and the country is defeated, I can only pray for God's protection and mercy in the palace."

Cheng Jiaoniang smiled.

"Your Majesty, although your father does not have the right to anger others, you yourself have already angered others." She said, "With the madness of the imperial concubine and the death of Prince Ping, your Majesty wouldn't think that the Queen Mother only suspects and hates the daughter of the people, right?"

?”

The queen's complexion changed slightly again.

"The queen knows very well in her heart, why let the people's daughter speak out." Cheng Jiaoniang said, "The people's daughter is guilty of conspiracy at most, Taibai Jingtian's concealment, Concubine An's pregnancy and loss of her son, Prince Ping's death by lightning, the emperor

Qi diseases are probably all blamed on the daughter of the people. The Queen Mother will not let go of the women of the people, and naturally she will not let go of the person who is the mastermind. If the Queen Mother can find trouble and kill the daughter of the people, naturally she can also find trouble and kill the person who is the mastermind.

Maybe the Queen Mother is worried about not touching the mastermind now, but as the Queen Mother comes to power day by day, she will make the decision in the palace and the court. When the palace gate is closed, who will know that there is a Queen Mother, and who will care about the Queen Mother.

Life or death?"

"Bold!" the queen shouted sharply.

Cheng Jiaoniang stopped talking, but the queen was still angry and pacing back and forth.

"You woman, at this time, instead of trying your best to treat His Majesty's illness and relieve his worries, you have come to alienate the inner palace. You really deserve death!" She said, stopping and asked, "Is this the fatal disease of this palace that you said?

?What nonsense.”

Cheng Jiaoniang didn't say anything. She took a step forward and suddenly reached out to pick up a pot of impatiens placed by the window.

"What are you going to do?" the queen shouted.

Cheng Jiaoniang grabbed the impatiens flower and threw it to the ground.

The queen screamed in fright.

"The folk girl is really wise. It turns out that the impatiens flowers in the palace are grown with tonics." Cheng Jiaoniang said, her eyes falling on the ground.

The flower pot was broken and the soil was scattered, and it was actually filled with the residue of the decoction.

"I heard that the Queen Mother was grateful for the hard work of the empress, and specially gave her the tonic soup." Cheng Jiaoniang said, "I don't know how it tastes. Why doesn't the empress dare to try it?"

"Who told you? Jin An, did he say that?" the queen asked, her expression no longer as indifferent as before, and she clenched the silk brocade handkerchief in her hand.

"Your Majesty, although the people's daughter can't cure the emperor's wind disease, she does know some medical medicine. The medicine used by His Majesty in the palace has a different smell from these tonics. I can't hide it from others, but I can't hide it from the people's daughter." Cheng Jiao.

Mother said.

The queen's expression changed.

"Why don't you drink these decoctions and wait for the emperor to leave and the queen will go with him? It's really sad and admirable to be a married couple." Cheng Jiaoniang continued.

The queen looked dejected.

"Yes, what Madam said is that I do have a fatal disease." She said, "But what should I do?"

…………………………………………….

There was a snapping sound.

"Tell me, what do you want to do?"

The Queen Mother said angrily.

"Don't you just think that Prince Qing is a fool and are afraid of a bad reputation? Then what else can you do? Your Majesty only has this bloodline. Don't the Ai family want a good reputation?"

"Your Majesty, please calm down."

The courtiers hurriedly saluted and said.

"Stop talking about such nonsense!" the Queen Mother yelled angrily, "The Ai family is not in the mood to argue with you, so the Ai family will tell you that now the Ai family only has one grandson, Prince Qing. It is up to you to decide what to do!"

This is a strong statement.

Who among these ministers dares to decide on the throne?

As expected, the woman's mood was unreasonable. The courtiers looked at each other, secretly exchanged glances, and shook their heads.

When King Qing ascends the throne, the Queen Mother must listen behind the curtain.

For such a moody and unreasonable woman, imagine what the court would be like.

"I would like to invite Prince Qing to be crown prince." Chen Shao stood up and said.

When these words came out, everyone in the court was shocked.

Unexpectedly, it was Chen Shao who stepped forward to ask this idiot King Li Qing to be the crown prince.

The world is really deteriorating, and one generation is worse than the next. Nowadays, no one even dares to pretend to be drunk.

It seems that without the emperor, Chen Shao has no confidence.

The courtiers made eye contact.

Also surprised were Gao Lingbo's people and the Queen Mother.

According to Gao Lingbo's guess, the first person to object should be Chen Shao. As long as he objects from the beginning, he will be tough to the end. Otherwise, his reputation will be ruined, so in the end he will inevitably have a dispute with the Queen Mother. The only thing to do is

He resigned and left.

He should have left long ago!

I just didn’t expect that Chen Shao would be the first to agree!

What a trick!

Everyone present looked at each other in confusion. The Queen Mother was startled and then immediately became happy.

Although Gao Lingbo didn't like Chen Shao, the Queen Mother knew that this was someone the emperor valued, and she didn't want the emperor to force away a minister whom the emperor relied on just because of his illness. She could imagine how the Shilin People's Assembly outside would scold her.

So good, so good.

"It was like that at that time, it was like that at that time." The Queen Mother nodded and said before issuing the edict, Chen Shao bowed again.

"Your Majesty's Holy Body is uneasy and the Crown Prince's body is not in order. I would like to ask the Queen Mother to appoint ministers to assist the Crown Prince in governing the country." He said loudly.

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

Okay, okay, how can Wei Guan, who pretended to be drunk and made a suggestion but was exposed by the emperor as being confused, and dared not speak again, compare with Chen Shao?

Just know that things are not that simple!

There was a bang, and the Queen Mother, who was sitting on the four-legged stool behind the throne, stood up angrily and pointed at Chen Shao.

"How bold! Chen Shao! Who do you think the Ai family is!" she shouted angrily.

……………………………………………

"Xiangong Chen said that he did not dare to say anything about the Queen Mother, but..."

The chamberlain knelt in front of him and whispered, hesitating here.

"Just what?" the queen asked.

"It's just that Mr. Chen said it was to prevent Yang from following the king," the chamberlain said. [Note]

The queen laughed loudly.

"Ms. Chen is simply pointing his finger at the Queen Mother and scolding her," she said. "Who can afford such a reputation?"

"Yes, the Queen Mother kicked a few cases, tore down the curtains, and walked away." The chamberlain said in a low voice.
