Started to get rich after exile

Chapter 81 The Empress Was Poisoned

In the next few days, Ming Lanying finally knew what Ye Juelu meant by the first step.

The emperor is not punishing the Ming family on the surface, but behind the scenes, he makes people criticize the Ming family everywhere. There is no Ming family in the court for a short time. The emperor really washed the court with blood this time. The criminal evidence of the Ming family was listed one by one, and some members of the Ming family who wanted to pretend to be quail were also dragged out.

The sects and party members who were backed by the Ming family were basically investigated, and the serious ones were directly demoted to exile and confiscated or imprisoned. The emperor made such a big move that the elder Ming had to quickly clean up Ming Jiazhen's affairs and return to the court as soon as possible. He also wrote three scriptures in a row, greeting the emperor, stating his innocence, and using his status as an old courtier to hint and warn the emperor.

When Ming Lanying listened to Ye Juelu's talk, she couldn't help laughing. This has changed, and Master Ming still thinks that the emperor is the former little emperor.

"How is Ming Jiazhen?"

Ye Juelu took a sip of tea slowly, and continued: "Qi Ningshuang tried her best to protect her, and secretly sent her out of the capital at night. She should have been sent to another place, and she will never come back in this life."

Ming Lanying smacked her lips, "Qi Ningshuang really cares about her."

He Bai sat crookedly at the side with his chair upturned, and said coolly: "Of course, it is her own, and she has been carefully raised for so many years. Even if her reputation is completely ruined by others, she is still her own flesh and blood. Can watch him die in vain."

Ming Lanying took a look at her. He Bai never grew up with her parents. Even if the blood relatives of the You family recognized her later, they treated her as normal, and might even have a bad life. Only she knows about the treatment, otherwise she would not have gone to the frontier to look for Ye Juelu alone in the cold winter months.

Ming Lanying felt distressed and had a headache for this stinky girl.

"Qi Ningshuang will definitely not let Ming Jiazhen go to waste, and will try her best to get her back." Based on years of experience, Ming Lanying guessed: "Hebai, go and find out where Ming Jiazhen was sent. , and arranged for two people to approach her and directly cut off her back."

He Bai stood up excitedly, "Obey!"

"Wait." Ye Juelu stopped He Bai who was about to go out through the window, "Arrange detailed work and let Taiyi do it, just go and find out where the person will be sent."

He Bai immediately understood what her brother was thinking, and gave an evil smile. The delicate beauty was a little angry, "Okay!"

After finishing speaking, she quickly slipped away through the window, Ming Lanying glanced at the open door, she was a little speechless, "Who taught her to go in and out through the window."

Ye Juelu: "..." He also has this little problem, but he has changed a lot since he became the commander of the Imperial Guard, so it's better not to let the lady know.

Ming Lanying went back to the house and changed her clothes. She rolled up her sleeves and spent a busy day in the kitchen. Tang Ning's caravan was leaving the next day. She took advantage of these two days to make dry food that was convenient to carry and store.

In addition to going to court, Ye Juelu was busy with military affairs every day, and he was in charge of the secret arrangements of the capital. After the family finished their lunch, they hurried to the military camp.

Ming Lanying had been busy in the kitchen all day, and packed the dry food before sunset, and asked Steward Wang to carefully deliver it to the Tang Mansion to Fengchun.

Manager Wang rushed out with big bags and small bags. Ming Lanying just took a breath when two cuckoos fluttered their wings and brought her the frightening news.

Since Ming Lanying used Haidongqing to send a message to the frontier fortress last time and was impeached without pain, Xiaosan seldom went out when it was conspicuous. It happened that there were two more cuckoos in the house, so Ming Lanying asked Xiaosan to train Cuckoo went outside to find out the news.

The golden eagle in the palace was ordered by Ming Lanying to watch over the queen's safety for her, and she couldn't come out at any time, so Xiaosan helped her send news to the golden eagle in the palace.

Two cuckoos stood in front of Ming Lanying, Ming Lanying scattered a handful of small fruits, and the two birds gnawed their heads little by little.

"Thrush from Yongzhou City said that there is a Prince Heng who is discussing with his partner and wants to use the people of Yongzhou City as hostages to make your current emperor abdicate."

Ming Lanying couldn't believe it, "How dare Prince Heng?"

She never doubts the news they bring back, because they are pure-hearted and are a good channel for passing on news. With them, some news will always be known at the first time.

The cuckoos shook their heads in unison, "Maybe they want to coerce the emperor to command the princes."

Ming Lanying was caught off guard and laughed, "You guys still know this?"

The two cuckoos proudly puffed out their small chests, "Master Xiao San taught me."

Ming Lanying thinks about it carefully and finds out that it is possible. After all, Ning'er sometimes teaches wolf cubs and mistress to read, or reads to them. Although they don't know the words, they will remember the books Ning'er read. When Ying was speaking, she would occasionally say a word that was not right for her.

The phrase "Take the Son of Heaven to order the feudal princes" should be Ning'er even told them the meaning when he was studying. Xiaosan's wisdom first appeared, and it was the most sensitive time, so he wrote it down.

However, it has almost the same meaning when used here. The emperor has the whole world in his heart, and he works hard to govern the country and the people. Prince Heng took the people of Yongzhou City as arrows, and he really caught the emperor's weakness.

But letting the emperor abdicate directly is still a bit of a mystery. After all, the officials in the court are not for decoration. The civil and military officials in the court are divided into four factions. One faction surrounds the emperor wholeheartedly. It is the neutral clear stream with the fewest people.

If Prince Heng dared to hand over the threatening documents, the emperor's party would definitely accuse Prince Heng of being a wolf for ambition and beg the emperor to let go of his blood relatives.

The old ministry left by Prince Heng will definitely use the people as an excuse to persuade the emperor to use the strategy of delaying the army first, or what is even more outrageous is to stand on the commanding heights of morality to persuade the emperor to abdicate.

Although the emperor took advantage of this time to eradicate a wave of members of the Ming family, they will not be able to eradicate them for a while, and they will definitely use their spare energy to speak for Prince Heng. The shit of the debate.

At that time, the three parties will fight in a melee, so that the Emperor's Party and Prince Heng's faction will be able to quarrel almost evenly.

Although these are just her guesses, Ming Lanying still clicked her tongue twice, it's not easy to be an emperor...

When Ye Juelu came back from work in the evening, Ming Lanying took him to talk quietly in the study for a while, and told him the news that the cuckoo had found.

Ye Juelu's expression remained unchanged after hearing this, and Ming Lanying asked in surprise, "Did you already know?"

Ye Juelu shook his head, "No, I just found out about it when I paid off, and the eyeliner of Yongzhou City just sent back the news that Prince Heng wrote to invite An Zhezi to come to Beijing, but the content in the Zhezi was to threaten the emperor to abdicate."

Ming Lanying exclaimed, "Your informant can inquire so thoroughly?"

Ye Juelu hummed, "The nail that took many years to get in can't be moved easily, and now I have to spread the news."

Ming Lanying hissed, such a heart-wrenching task should not be able to be done by ordinary people.

"Then what are you going to do?"

Ye Juelu said indifferently: "There is no rush, Zhezi will be in front of the emperor in a month, enough for the emperor to arrange."

Hearing that Ye Juelu didn't make any suggestions, Ming Lanying was taken aback, "Aren't you going to help me make suggestions?"

Ye Juelu's eyes were lowered, and the hostility was hidden deep in his eyes, "It's the emperor's business to make suggestions, and what I should do is to obey absolutely."

Ming Lanying looked at him with fixed eyes. Ye Juelu's absolute loyalty to the emperor shocked her. What kind of situation is it possible to be in front of the supreme power and only have brothers in her eyes?

Ming Lanying had to ask the most frequently asked question throughout the ages, "If one day, the emperor began to doubt the sincerity of everyone around him, questioning your meritorious deeds, what would you do?"

Ye Juelu raised his eyes and smiled softly at her, "Don't worry, I have the gold medal for exempting from death and the imperial edict of exempting from responsibility from the emperor. If there is really a cunning rabbit who dies, I will take you and Ning The child is far away from the right and wrong center."

Ming Lanying heaved a sigh of relief, it seems that Ye Juelu had thought about it, so she should not panic, being prepared is better than not being prepared!
Just when Ming Lanying was still waiting for Prince Heng's son to enter the capital, and then caused the court to turn upside down, something happened in the harem first, and the queen was found pregnant.

It happened that when the concubines in the harem woke up in the morning to pay their respects once every seven days, a court lady bypassed the poison test and the palace man poisoned the queen. It was exposed in public. Fortunately, the queen did not ingest much poison, and the imperial doctor expel it in time The toxin saved the queen's life and stabilized the fetus.

The emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation, but the empress's pregnancy could not be concealed. The concubines in the harem saw it, and the emperor simply did not cover it up. He openly admitted his preference for the empress and publicized it.

"If something happens to the queen's baby, no one in the harem will be able to stay. A group of people can't take care of a queen, so what do I want you to do?"

The emperor directly forcibly tied the lives of the empress and the child in her womb to the people in the harem. This was the first time the emperor had clearly and domineeringly shown his preference and importance for the empress after he had been on the throne for so many years, and made everyone in the harem taste good.

But no matter how jealous and jealous, he did not dare to attack the queen's first child, which was also the emperor's first son.

The house of the court lady who poisoned the queen has been confiscated, and even a little concubine behind the scenes, the daughter of a household doctor, was also confiscated by the emperor.

The emperor's thunderous tactics frightened the former court and the harem, but because the empress was almost poisoned because she was pregnant, those who spent their time were also given a rest.

Hubu now had a vacant position as a doctor, and Ye Juelu happened to fill in a confidant who had just been promoted by the emperor.

When Ming Lanying heard the news that Xiaosan had just brought back from the palace, she was so frightened that she immediately took Ning'er into the palace. At that time, Ye Juelu had just come down to court, and before she left the palace, she was told by Defu's apprentice that his wife took her son Hastily passed the sign and entered the palace to see the queen.

Ye Juelu was silent for a moment, then turned around and went to the emperor's study to discuss matters, and waited for his wife by the way.

Ming Lanying took Ning'er to the Queen's Changle Palace in a hurry. The Golden Eagle was guarding the Queen's palace courtyard, glancing at the passing maids from time to time. Being so frightened, they all hid far away, and Ming Lanying was a little speechless towards it.

When the Golden Eagle King saw that she was bringing Ning'er, he seemed to be an employee who was suddenly checked by the boss. He flew directly to the roof of the main hall of Changle Palace and cowered back.

It also remembered that Ming Lanying let it stay in the palace to protect the queen, but the queen was almost poisoned by someone.

"Woman, this king is careless this time. I didn't expect you mortals to have so many tricks. This king swears that there will be no next time!"

Ming Lanying knew that it could not be blamed for this matter, it was a big golden eagle who couldn't stay by the queen's side all the time, and even smelled and tested poison, but she still stared at it speechlessly at its cowardly appearance, the majestic golden eagle king Why is it like pulling two to five to eighty thousand at ordinary times, but now I'm scared.

Ming Lanying didn't say anything, and was anxious to see the queen first. The Golden Eagle King heaved a sigh of relief and escaped the catastrophe for the time being.

The dignified and gentle queen was still half-lying on the couch weakly, but she didn't have the strength to get up when Ming Lanying came in, and she stretched out her hand to signal her from a distance.

Ming Lanying abided by the rules, and Ning'er saluted first, and the queen spoke before she hurriedly stepped forward to hold the queen's hand.

"Empress, why are your hands so cold? Now that the cold spring has not dissipated, and your empress is still pregnant, why isn't there enough charcoal fire in the palace?"

The queen smiled softly, "It's pretty good, I'm about to sweat, but I just lay there without moving, and my hands and feet are a little stiff."

The maid serving the empress explained for the master, "Return to Mrs. Ye, it's because the empress has just turned red, and the fetus has just stabilized. Although the poison has been cleared, she is still affected a little. Her body is a little weak, and the slave has been poured." Two soups are here."

Ming Lanying felt relieved when she heard the words, and stretched out her hand to cover the queen's hand first, "The mother's womb is almost five months old, how can she still be popular? What kind of poison is so powerful?"

The palace maid pursed her lips, her complexion was not very good, she was obviously still scared, "It's heartbroken grass, fortunately, the imperial physician comes to ask for the pulse of the empress's palace every day, and this time it happened to be after getting up in the morning, otherwise it would be too late for the hospital to come." The distance between our Changle Palace, I am afraid that the empress can't support it..."

Ming Lanying was surprised, and she clenched the Queen's hand in fear, and the Queen coaxed her helplessly and said, "Don't worry, isn't this right in front of you?"

Ming Lanying stretched out her hand and caressed the empress's slightly swollen belly, "Fortunately, His Royal Highness also lived up to it and survived. He will definitely be a blessed little prince in the future."

The queen's brows and eyes stretched, and she chuckled and joked: "As the saying goes, if you survive a catastrophe, you will have a future blessing?"

Ming Lanying and the palace maid quickly poohed three times, "My good lady, although this is considered auspicious, it's better not to say it."

The queen responded obediently, and waved to Ning'er, "Ning'er, come here, do you want to touch the little brother in aunt's belly?"

The queen likes Ning'er, and Ming Lanying is not easy to stop her, but she is still afraid that Ning'er's subordinates will not touch her seriously. Fortunately, Ning'er is sensible, and imitated Ming Lanying, who stretched out her hand and put her hands on one side, looking seriously at the little girl. said the face.

"The little brother in Aunt Queen's stomach said he is very good, let Aunt Queen take good care of herself, and he will be even better!"

The heart-warming childish words made them laugh, and the queen happily rubbed Ning'er's little bun face.

"Oh! Why does Ning'er seem to be a little thinner? Why is her chin protruding? Did you bully Ning'er by not giving him a good meal?"

The queen pretended to be angry and asked, Ming Lanying didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "How can you! Madam, don't wrong my wife, it's Ning'er who has grown taller. Recently, he practiced martial arts with his aunt to strengthen his body, and he grew taller because of what he ate."

Youming Lanying and Ning'er chatted and amused with each other, the queen's face was not so pale, and her delicate face recovered a bit.
