Mugui

Yang Zhi's whole face was twisted in pain, and she looked at Yang Mu's back with vicious eyes. Unexpectedly, Yang Mu suddenly turned his head and glared at her.

That look scared Yang Zhi so much that she didn't dare to cry.

When did this countryman become so scary?

Yang Mu tidied up the second room, put on new clothes and entered the palace in a good mood.

The carriage had just reached the halfway point when spring rain began to fall from the sky.

This year's spring rain is too early. It's not even the first month yet. They say spring rain is as precious as oil. I'm afraid this year will be a good harvest.

Yang Mu held an umbrella and got out of the carriage.

A female official took her to Cining Palace.

The Empress Dowager was chanting sutras in the small Buddhist hall, and Yang Mu went to see Concubine Shu Yang Yi first.

Yang Yi was teasing her son with a palace flower when a female official came to tell her that Princess Shanning was here.

Yang Yi hurriedly asked people to invite Yang Mu in.

After Yang Mu saluted, Yang Yi offered a seat and someone else came to serve tea.

Yang Yi asked: "Is your family okay?"

Yang Mu said: "Everything is fine, but grandma's body is not very sharp."

Yang Yi looked a little sad, but her eyes didn't look sad. Although she was named Chen, Aunt Luan was her biological mother.

Yang Muming knew that Yang Yi was pretending to be sad, so he had to persuade her: "Don't worry, Princess Toffee. As people get older, they will naturally feel a little uncomfortable."

Yang Yi nodded slightly and asked: "The princess is entering the palace today..."

Yang Mu glanced at the room and said, "Nothing happened, I just came to see my aunt."

When Yang Yi heard what she said, it must be a big deal that was hard to talk about, so she smiled and said, "This child must be getting married soon. He wants to find someone to talk to about his inner thoughts."

She said to everyone: "You go down first. The little girl is thin-skinned. She doesn't dare to say anything while you are here."

All the maids withdrew, and the wet nurse took away Emperor Xi Bao's posthumous son, Li You.

After everyone retreated, Yang Mu asked, "Auntie, does he know what the emperor's illness is?"

Yang Yi's eyes froze for a moment, and she said, "It seems that even the outside world has begun to suspect."

Seeing Yang Mu's probing eyes, Yang Yi lowered her voice and talked about what happened in the womb these days.

Ten days ago, the weather was still cold and the ice in front of Qinzheng Hall had not yet melted. The emperor sat on the sled and let the eunuchs pull him.

This was nothing at first. The emperor was young and it was time to play. He played like this all winter and nothing happened.

But I don’t know what happened this time, but a few gravels were somehow frozen on the smooth ice.

When the sled was crossing, it was hit by gravel and the speed was not slow, so the sled overturned.

The emperor was wearing thick clothes, so it wouldn't be a big deal originally, but for some reason, the emperor actually hit his head.

His head was smashed, and the little emperor sat on the ice and cried violently. The eunuchs and maids hurriedly carried the little emperor back to the Qinzheng Palace. This incident alarmed the empress dowagers of the two palaces.

This is not a big deal, it is normal for children to bump into each other.

After seeing it, the imperial doctor said that it was nothing serious and it was just a skin injury. He prescribed some medicine for sores and told him to take a good rest.

But what was unusual was that at night the little emperor started to have a fever, which made him talk nonsense.

The imperial doctor said that he was infected with wind and cold and prescribed antipyretic medicine.

But ten days have passed, and the little emperor still can't get out of bed, and even his fever has not gone down much.

After listening to Yang Yi's words, Yang Mu felt strange in his heart.

Could it be that the little emperor had a concussion?
"Does the Emperor have any symptoms such as vomiting, dizziness, etc.?" Yang Mu asked.

Yang Yi shook her head and said: "Since the emperor was brought back to the Qinzheng Palace, he has not returned to live in the palace. The queen mothers of the two palaces took turns guarding them, and they also issued a hush-hush order not to spread the news about the emperor's condition. I just heard the queen mother sigh occasionally. , only then did I know the whole story." Yang Yi glanced at the closed door nervously, lowered her voice again, and said: "I dragged someone to inquire carefully, and only got some fragments of information. The emperor seems to be...poisoned."

"Poisoned?"

"Among the medicines prescribed by the imperial doctor, there is Deerhuscaensis, which can detoxify hundreds of poisons, and Purple Flower Dips, which can detoxify snake venom!"

Yang Mu was even more surprised and asked: "So, the one you got was poisoned by snake venom?"

Yang Yi said: "This is a strange talent. He hasn't even reached the stage of awakening yet. Where did the snake venom come from?"

Yang Mu frowned, it was strange that the little emperor was poisoned, but what was even more strange was that he was poisoned by snake venom.

This is ancient times, and there is no guarantee that one will be saved if he is poisoned by snake venom. Besides, the little emperor is only three years old.

Who poisoned the little emperor?
Prince Su and his son were cut in half, it couldn't be them.

There are now three pillars in the court: the queen mother and the regent. They all serve the emperor, so they will not poison the little emperor.

Which force was responsible for poisoning?

If something really happened to the little emperor, would the situation in the court be in chaos?
What will the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces do?
Should we support Li You, the posthumous son of Emperor Jiaji, to become the emperor, or adopt one from the clan?
She looked at the bed where Li You was lying just now, thoughtfully.

Yang Yi said: "Princess Princess, has your father ever mentioned when he proposed that your highness go to the fiefdom?"

Obviously, she also knew that once the young emperor died, the two queen mothers would have to support Emperor Jiaji's posthumous son to inherit the throne.

But her biological mother is still alive, so she can't have three empress dowagers!

Maybe Empress Dowager Tao is better off, and no one can shake the status of her mother, the Empress Dowager.

But the Empress Dowager Sheng was not successful. She became the Empress Dowager only because of her son's worth. After her son died, no one urged her to abdicate.

Once Li You became emperor and Yang Yi, his biological mother, was here, the Queen Mother of the West would have no choice but to take a back seat.

Who can guarantee that Queen Mother Sheng will not get rid of Li You's big trouble in advance?

Yang Mu asked: "What did the Empress Dowager say?"

Yang Yi sighed and said: "Although she is noble, she does not have much power in the court. The power of the queen mothers of the two palaces is getting bigger and bigger, and there is no guarantee that there will be people from them in Cining Palace, in case something happens out of sight." Jizzi, my Youer..."

When I finished speaking, I was choked with sobs.

Yang Mu kept frowning and never relaxed.

The current situation of Yang Yi and her son is very dangerous, but she doesn't know much about the situation in the DPRK, so she can only go back to discuss with Yang Chengen and his son.

At this time, the palace maid outside the door reported.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has come out of the Small Buddha Hall. I heard that the princess is here and has been summoned."

Yang Yi hurriedly stood up and said: "The Empress Dowager cannot be neglected, the princess should go first."

Yang Mu nodded and said: "I will tell my grandfather and father about the situation of the queen and the young highness when I go back. The queen should be more careful."

Yang Yi nodded with red eyes, personally sent Yang Mu to the Queen Mother, and said a few more words before exiting.

After Yang Yi left, the Empress Dowager dismissed everyone in the hall, leaving only two people behind. She looked at Yang Mu and said, "I heard that the Suzaku Army is going to be handed over to you?"

Yang Mu thought that although the Suzaku Army didn't know much, the Empress Dowager, as the woman with the highest status in the dynasty, would not be unaware of it.

So, she stood up and said, "My little girl is not talented."

She didn't deny it.

The Empress Dowager smiled and said: "Not many people know about the Suzaku Army, but I know it."

She looked Yang Mu up and down and said after a moment: "You are a good person. I can rest assured that you will take over the Suzaku Army."

After a pause, she added: "It's just that others don't need to know."

Yang Mu didn't want anyone to know, so he said yes.
