Bai Yueguang, the stand-in for Prince Sick Jiao

Chapter 305 Plan
In the past few days, the imperial palace seems to be shrouded in an invisible layer of haze. The palace people are becoming more and more cautious in their actions, for fear that if they are not careful, they will be caught as spies and taken to the Shang Xingsi.

Fengyi Palace was quiet and quiet, even if the wind blew, it never left a sound.

After Sun Fuzhi administered several injections, the queen's condition was finally stabilized.

It's just that after waking up, the queen would always stare at the roof of the tent in a daze, tears welling up in her eyes.Qingdai knew that she was thinking about Xie Yuanting, but he was gone, not even a corpse, no matter how sad he was, he would never come back.

Qing Dai held back her tears, walked gently to the empress with the porridge, and said, "Your Majesty, you haven't eaten for a whole day. This servant has made some porridge. You can eat some."

The queen didn't move, but said in a hoarse voice: "Qingdai, I want to see Your Majesty, you can change my clothes for me."

"Your Majesty, the imperial doctor said that you can't get out of bed yet and you need to rest well. His Majesty is busy with government affairs recently, and he will come to see you when he is done." Qing Dai tucked the quilt for her.

The queen muttered her pale and chapped lips, and said slowly: "I know that I may not be able to survive this winter, but I am worried about Chen'er."

When Qing Dai heard this, her nose turned sour: "Madam, don't say that, with Doctor Sun here, you will be fine!"

"The body belongs to Bengong, how could Bengong not know?" She pulled her lips weakly, but couldn't even pull out a forced smile, "Now, Lushan is gone, A Yuan is gone, and only Bengong is left. Gong Yi is alive. He clearly said that he would come back to see me, but he still broke his promise."

The queen trembled her eyelashes, and the tears at the end of her eyes fell silently.

In fact, since the day Xie Yuanting left, she had a premonition in her heart that his departure would be a farewell forever.But she still had a glimmer of hope in her heart, looking forward to Xie Yuanting's return safe and sound, but now everything is in vain, even the last glimmer of hope is gone.

The pear tree outside the hall bloomed, took out green branches and leaves, and produced huge fruits, but now it began to wither.

"Qingdai, you go to the Chengming Hall, you must meet His Majesty..."

The queen knew that she would not live long, and also understood what would happen to Fu Yunchen if she just let go like this. All she could do now was to seek peace for him.

That night, Fu Xiuyun went to Fengyi Palace, but left after a short stay.

Not long after, news spread from the palace that the empress had invited the female relatives of various families to the palace for a banquet during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

After this decree came down, it caused quite a stir in Beijing.Everyone wondered: Didn't it mean that the queen was seriously ill and was about to die?Still holding a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet at this juncture, and inviting ladies from various families in Beijing?
A series of questions hovered in everyone's minds, and they all speculated about the queen's intentions this time.

When Ling Youyao received the news, she was also quite surprised, and asked Fu Mingjue: "What does this mean, empress?"

Fu Mingjue said softly: "The Queen's intention is actually very obvious, she wants to choose a concubine for Your Majesty."

"Why?" Ling Youyao didn't understand.

Fu Mingjue analyzed: "The empress knows that her life is not long, but if she leaves like this, the prince will have no support at all. Before long, the ministers of the court will ask your majesty to set up a new empress, one without the influence of the mother clan A supporting prince is like fish on a chopping board. Instead of waiting to be slaughtered by others, you might as well take the initiative to take a step back and choose a woman with a low background and an innocent family background before everyone else. Retreat is the way to advance, and then seek stability. In other words, it is indeed the most feasible way.”

Ling Youyao was slightly stunned, she remembered that after the queen died of illness, Fu Xiuyun did not create a new queen, but one person entered the palace.
As for who that person was, she had no memory.

"Even so, if the new queen gives birth to a prince, what should the prince do?" Ling Youyao asked.

Fu Mingjue guessed: "There are two possibilities. One, His Majesty will bring the prince with him and raise him himself; the other is that the new queen will not give birth to a prince."

"Won't a prince be born?" Ling Youyao savored the deep meaning in it carefully, and suddenly thought of something, "Could it be"

"You are right," Fu Mingjue said calmly, "If His Majesty intends to support the crown prince, he will not let the new empress give birth to a crown prince."

Throughout the ages, no matter how ordinary people are, they will be driven by profit. Once they have a bargaining chip to fight against, even if the mother clan is weak, they can shake the imperial power.

Ling Youyao frowned, and asked again: "Then do you think there are such candidates in the capital?"

A faint smile appeared on Fu Mingjue's lips, and he said: "Of course there are, but such an obvious pit is in front of you, if you don't have deep thoughts, you probably won't take the initiative to jump into it."

"What do you mean?" Ling Youyao looked up at him.

Fu Mingjue said: "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that once you sit in that position, you are destined to be a puppet in this life. In this capital, there has never been such a person who is willing to be a wedding dress for others."

The more Ling Youyao listened, the more confused she became: "Since this is the case, will anyone still be willing to send their daughter to the palace?"

The queen's position is indeed attractive, but if she has no children in her life, it is like nothing.

Fu Mingjue lowered his eyelids: "I don't know, maybe someone is willing to take a risk, but I don't think the chances of winning this game are very good. Recently, His Majesty ordered Wei Xiu to investigate the palaces, and wanted to remove those who had been placed in the palace. Eyeliner, jumping out at this time is not a good thing."

The queen would make such a request to pave the way for the prince, but Fu Xiuyun had no reason to agree.

Fu Mingjue thought that the reason why he agreed was probably to find out who was behind it.

Hearing this, Ling Youyao understood.The queen was assassinated again and again, but every time half of the investigation was found, the clues were broken.Since that person's goal was the queen, Fu Xiuyun took the initiative to throw out the bait to lure that person out.

But after thinking about it, Ling Youyao felt wrong again: "Would anyone really fall for such an obvious trap?"

As long as you think about it for a while, you can know the pros and cons. She didn't think that person would be so stupid.

Fu Mingjue smiled lightly, and repeated her words meaningfully: "Yes, such an obvious trap, will anyone really fall for it?"

His imperial brother has never been such a simple-minded person, the queen?But it's just for those people to see.

In the Chengming Hall, Wei Xiu stood at the head, seeing Fu Xiuyu's silence, he was confused.

After finally plucking up the courage to speak, at this moment, I heard him say: "Take everyone back, don't stare at them anymore."

Wei Xiu was taken aback for a moment, then hesitated and said, "Is there anything wrong with withdrawing this matter at the end of the day?"

Fu Xiuyun snorted coldly: "Put away your clues! I have my own arrangements, and the Mid-Autumn Festival will be soon. There will be many people in the palace, so I will send your people to protect the prince."

"I will understand at the end!"

"Okay, you go down." Fu Xiuyun closed the memorial, with a serious look on his brows.

Wei Xiu took the order and retreated.
