I Became the Heroine of Abusive Novel and Her Elder Brother - Chapter 119
For a time, it spread all over the palace.
The emperor fell into a coma after being poisoned by General Hu in the wine. The Tai Hospital tried its best, but couldn’t diagnose what poison the emperor had.
It’s like a sudden illness, very strange.
But whether it was poisoning or a strange disease, the testimony of so many people present can prove that the problem lies in General Hu’s jar of wine.
Therefore, General Hu was arrested on the spot and imprisoned.
However, the poison was not found, and General Hu pleaded not guilty, so the interrogation was difficult, and he had to be locked up for custody.
However, everyone’s attention is not on General Hu.
At the third watch, in the back hall of Yongle Hall, imperial physicians came in and out, in the front hall, all the people were waiting for the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and in the side hall separated by a curtain, crowded with various Concubine Concubine.
Everyone was silent, but everyone was like an ant on a hot pot.
The Imperial Physician was running around, and he said many times, saying that His Majesty’s pulse is strange, it is a condition that has never been seen before, and it cannot be diagnosed at all.
The more this is the case, the heavier the atmosphere becomes, and the expressions of everyone gradually become panic.
Queen Jiang sat at the top of the side hall, raising her hand to support her forehead.
The more everyone is in chaos, the more she can’t be in chaos. There is no queen mother in the palace, and now that the palace is full, she is the only one who can be the master.
However, like everyone else, she didn’t know what happened to the emperor or how serious the situation would be. The emperor is in his prime, and his body has always been healthy. The court in the palace is orderly, and he has not yet set up his mind.
So now, the emperor suddenly had an accident, and no one knew what to do next.
Queen Jiang resisted worry and panic, looked calm, and sat quietly in her seat.
He kept praying for Emperor Qing Ping.
Although Qing Ping and her were indifferent, they were husband and wife and monarch and minister for many years. Yu Gong, now only Emperor Qing Ping wakes up, so the harem of the previous dynasty will not be in chaos; Yu Zi, she also worried about Emperor Qing Ping in her heart, and did not want to see what happened to him.
“What kind of poison does this person have, why can’t they be found out for so long?”
“Isn’t this person just awarded the emperor’s award, and he will be fired tomorrow? How can he do such a confused thing at this juncture…”
“It’s really unpredictable, the emperor must not let anything happen…”
Empress Jiang cleared her throat, and everyone immediately became quiet.
Although this empress is usually gentle and gentle and has a good temperament, but now she is the only person in the whole palace who can speak. Now the emperor is unpredictable, but he does not dare to touch her bad head at this juncture.
Queen Jiang glanced at them, and finally set her eyes on Concubine Shu.
She was already tired at the moment, but she kept silent with everyone.
Empress Jiang knew that Concubine Shu was only a child, and if she said anything about love, it wouldn’t really matter. But the emperor has spoiled her for so many years, and has always treated her well. Now that something happened to the emperor, she is naturally very uncomfortable.
“Concubine Shu.” Queen Jiang said. “If you feel unwell, you don’t have to boil it hard, the dragon womb in your belly is important.”
Concubine Shu looked at her.
“No, Empress,” she said. “The concubine can hold on.”
Empress Jiang knew that she was stubborn, so she did not persuade her any further.
“Go, let the imperial kitchen cook a bowl of soothing soup for Concubine Shu Gui.” Empress Jiang looked sideways and said to the female official beside her.
The female officer took the order and retired.
The side hall fell into a deep silence again.
Queen Jiang’s eyes fell on the corridor between the side hall and the main hall.
Under the curtain, the court clothes and brocade boots are vaguely visible.
At this moment, the curtain was lifted.
A little **** hunched over and trotted all the way to the side hall.
“What’s the matter?” The queen looked down at him.
The little **** only said: “The slave is here to send a message to the goddess.”
Queen Jiang motioned him to get up.
Hearing this, the concubines in the palace held their breath, wanting to hear something in their whispers.
But the little **** attached to Empress Jiang’s ear, whispered a word, and then retreated again.
The people in the hall, except Empress Jiang, did not hear what he said.
But everyone saw that Empress Jiang’s face turned pale.
She was silent for a long time and nodded to the little eunuch.
“Go and talk, this palace knows.” she said.
The little **** retired.
The concubines all looked at her expression, she looked indifferent and stiff, and looked around in the hall.
The words that the little **** just said echoed in her ears.
“Niangniang, Jiang Xiang said, Niangniang needs to prepare for your majesty to wake up.”
Everyone is watching.
In the second half of the night, the sky turned white, and the stars in the sky gradually faded.
Queen Jiang frowned.
“Help Ben Palace to have a look.” She raised her hand, and the female officer beside her quickly supported her.
The concubines and concubines around her looked up in the direction of her departure, and saw that after the curtain was lifted, the ministers in the outer hall were also in a mess, and went to the apse one after another.
“What’s wrong?” Queen Jiang asked eagerly.
I saw a **** running out of the crowd, kneeling in front of Queen Jiang.
“Niangniang!” The **** cried and kowtowed on the ground.
Empress Jiang turned pale with fright, shook her body, and supported the female official beside her.
“What’s wrong with your majesty?” she asked tremblingly.
Come here, I’m afraid that I can’t move my body, I can’t speak, I can only hang my life with medicine!”
Queen Jiang’s legs were weak and she almost fainted.
The two female officers next to her quickly supported her.
Queen Jiang looked straight at the eunuch.
“Then Your Majesty… When will it be okay?” she asked tremblingly.
The little **** kowtowed, but did not answer.
Queen Jiang understands.
The Qing Ping Emperor this time…I’m afraid it won’t get better.
—
It is almost dawn.
A country cannot live without a ruler. The important affairs of the court will not be postponed because of the accident of Emperor Qingping, and the documents on the imperial case also need someone to deal with.
What’s more…the Qing Ping Emperor has no good chance.
Others are still alive, so naturally they cannot establish another emperor. However, there is always a need for a prince to take charge of the government in his place.
In this case, the power of this prince from now on is naturally similar to that of a king, but it lacks a name. Seeing what Emperor Ping looks like now, it won’t last long if you think about it. At that time, the Highness who is in charge of the government will naturally be the next king.
After the imperial doctor came to a conclusion, all the ministers gathered together in the front hall. No one left, but no one spoke first.
They know they have to wait for a result.
After a long time, the queen was supported by the female official and walked out of the apse.
All the ministers got up and saluted, waiting for the queen to sit on the phoenix seat in the palace.
“Your Majesty suffered this catastrophe, and the ministers and others are very sad. But apart from the sadness, they will also forget the state affairs. If Dayong is in chaos because of this, I will surely feel sad when His Majesty wakes up.”
Empress Jiang’s eyes were a little swollen.
“Xu Xiang’s words are very true.” She paused, her voice was a little out of breath, and said lightly.
“Therefore, the minister asked the empress to make up her mind to find a prince of the right age, temporarily seal the prince, and act for the emperor in state affairs.” Xu Xiang salutes.
Queen Jiang looked at him.
It has always been the case.
“This palace also has this intention,” she said. “I just don’t know all the adults, what’s the best way?”
She knew that she could not ask Xu Xiang alone.
She knows better than anyone what Xu Xiangxun is thinking. However, the Xu family is not the only one in the DPRK now. Now that the Xu family is seriously damaged, it is her father who can really speak.
She also knew that her father would never hide his selfishness in this matter. Huan’er was not a king’s talent, and her father would not push Huan’er into that position.
Sure enough, Jiang Xiang appeared.
“The minister invites the Empress, and urgently summons His Royal Highness King Guangling to return to Beijing.” He said.
All the ministers present were not surprised.
In the past year or so, how vigorous and resolute the King of Guangling was, and how much he was highly regarded by Emperor Qingping, they all saw it. Now if Emperor Qingping was still awake, he would have let King Guangling take over the country.
For a while, no one made a refutation.
This is exactly what Queen Jiang wanted.
“In that case…” she said.
“The Empress, please listen to the minister.” Xu Xiangdao. “His Royal Highness King Guangling is now in the south of the Yangtze River, and the emperor has a decree to let him supervise Jiangnan water affairs. Now the king of Yunnan is in chaos, and the emperor also ordered His Royal Highness King Guangling to go south to pacify the chaos. Although the emperor is in a coma, the ministers cannot disobey the emperor because of this. will!”
Speaking, he knelt down.
Queen Jiang knew that he was cheating.
The decree to let Xue Yan go to Jiangnan and let Xue Yan pacify the chaos is naturally from the emperor. But now, the emperor can’t wake up, and naturally he can’t take his life back.
It will take a year and a half to control the waters in the south of the Yangtze River or to pacify the king of Yunnan. The court naturally couldn’t wait for him for that long, and he was going to “fulfill” the will of Emperor Qingping again, which was to completely exclude Xue Yan and directly sentence him out of the game.
Empress Jiang became angry for a while.
Jiang asked instead: “Then Xu Xiang thinks, which Highness is more suitable? Is it the Fourth Highness who is related to you by blood?”
He spoke directly, intending to pierce Xu Xiang’s detour, so that he could not push the throne to his nephew.
But Xu Xiang sneered.
“Blood relation? Empress Yijieyu has passed away, and she has cut off the father-daughter relationship with the minister before her death. The Fourth Highness does not have a mother, only His Majesty is a close relative. Now, what kind of blood relationship is there with the minister? ?”
After he finished speaking, he turned to the ministers and said: “His Royal Highness is not in Chang’an, and the second highness and the crown have not entered the court, and the rest of the highness are still young. Yes, there is only the Fourth Highness.”
Hundreds of officials were stunned. After that, a few clever officials from the Xu family’s camp knelt down and said, “This minister agrees!”
Afterwards, not a few officials from the family camp, as well as some grassroots who judged the situation, also knelt down and seconded, for a while, half of the hall knelt down.
Xu Xiang hid two points of pride in his eyes and looked up at Empress Jiang.
“You…” Queen Jiang knew that she was forced to the cliff.
Besides, an official from Jiang Xiangyi’s faction immediately stood up.
“His Royal Highness King Guangling and His Royal Highness are not in Chang’an, none of us can be in charge!” he said. “This is a serious matter, and the minister asks the Empress to quickly summon all your Highnesses back to Beijing to discuss this matter together!”
At this moment, a person appeared at the door.
When everyone looked, they saw Xu Zonglun standing there.
The soldiers who followed him were all the generals who entered the palace yesterday. This group of people just rushed back from the Shenxing Division.
Immediately, the generals blocked the wide hall door tightly.
Everyone dared not speak.
“Your Excellency, have you made up your mind to defy His Majesty’s will?” Xu Zonglun asked slowly.
“I’m obviously…”
“No matter who it is, the last will not allow him to do anything against the imperial edict.” Xu Zonglun interrupted him.
“Since His Royal Highness King Guangling has taken the order, he can no longer resist the order. The 100,000 soldiers of the Qin gate are all united with the last general to protect His Majesty’s will.” He said. “Now, the soldiers have surrounded Chang’an City, and no one is allowed to dare to resist the decree.”
