The little queen is squeamish, and the tyrant of prey coaxes her every night

Fu Yao clenched her hands unconsciously, and Xinliu found out, and asked suspiciously, "Ma'am, what's wrong with you?"

Fu Yao came back to her senses and shook her head.

I just hope that I think too much.

……

In the Concubine Jing's mourning hall, the Empress Dowager took a quick look and took Liu Nanny back to the palace. On the way, Liu Nanny also said: "Everyone in the family has already thought of a countermeasure. Now the emperor is still in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. I'm afraid During this period of time, we will be devastated, as long as we firmly insist that Concubine Jing died suddenly and was killed by others, it will be fine."

"Ah."

The Queen Mother responded indifferently, thinking of the scene she had just seen, she was silent for a moment and asked again: "What did the imperial doctor who took the pulse of Concubine Jing say?"

"The imperial doctor said that Concubine Jing only had a fever in the first half of the night, but she suddenly started coughing up blood in the second half of the night, and she died within an hour. The concubine has always been healthy, how could she be unable to survive a sudden illness for one night?"

The Queen Mother was silent.

It took a while before he said: "Since everyone is dead, there is no need to continue to investigate this matter, as long as the emperor can't concentrate for a while, it will be fine, so that Ai's family can have time to arrange the next things, You tell your family that during this period of time, there will be memorials every day, so that the censors at Yushitai will be fine and cause some trouble. Concubine Jing died in the palace, it is unclear, and it may be killed by the empress."

Speaking of this, the Queen Mother turned her head and glanced at Madam Liu: "Do you understand?"

"The empress dowager wants to take this opportunity to let the emperor abolish the empress?"

"That's not necessary." The queen mother snorted: "This Fu Yao still looks like a fool, even if he is not a fool, it doesn't matter, his Fu family is just a prime minister, and the real power is actually in the hands of the six ministers. Come on. Even if she is a smart person, she will not be of much help to the emperor, but seeing how the emperor cares about the empress so much, she will cause them some trouble."

Nanny Liu immediately understood: "Yes."

After the Queen Mother returned to the palace, Madam Liu went to wait not far outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

After a quarter of an hour or so, seeing everyone in the Liu family being sent out by Eunuch Hai, Mammy Liu came out of the shadows after watching Eunuch Hai lead the two young eunuchs back, and greeted her softly, then someone had already spotted her.

The leading man from the Liu family came this way, and the rest pretended to ignore it and continued to walk outside.

Liu Momo and the others came before them and said in a low voice: "The Empress Dowager ordered that during this period of time, the emperor cannot be distracted by the matter of the Concubine Jing. Please tell the empress dowager to arrange for the people at Yushitai after you leave the palace. , put up more scriptures every day, and push the death of the concubine Jing to the empress, and the court can also target Prime Minister Fu."

"understood."

The two said a few words and left separately.

At this time, it was almost dawn, and Madam Liu hurried back.

In the early court, the Liu family joined forces with Yushitai and other courtiers arranged by the Queen Mother to write a letter, requesting Li Wei to thoroughly investigate the sudden death of Concubine Jing, and the court was full of quarrels.

Li Wei sat on the throne with an ugly face, looking at the noisy officials below, and the Liu family who stood aside as if they had nothing to do with him.

Mingming knew that all this was instigated by the Liu family.

"Your Majesty!" One of the censors came out and said with righteous indignation: "Concubine Jing is a concubine in the harem, but she died tragically for no reason. I have long heard that the daughter of the Fu family does not know everything because of her stupidity. It’s not enough to stay in the lower position! Prime Minister Fu has no way to teach his daughters, and even sent a foolish girl into the palace, and even became the mother of a country. His heart is to be punished, please the emperor find out and punish according to the law!”

"My minister agrees!"

"Subject!

"minister……"

"Presumptuous!" Just when the rest of the people were about to continue to line up, Li Wei, who lived in the hall, suddenly scolded in a cold voice. The heavy oppression brought by the majesty of the emperor made everyone stop their movements, and it took a while before they dared to raise their heads tentatively. look.

Li Wei's face was gloomy, and he glanced at the ministers below: "Concubine Jing died of a sudden illness. The matter has been confirmed by the imperial doctor of the imperial hospital. What is the matter with the queen? You and the court do not care about the national economy and people's livelihood, because such trivial matters are talking about the mother of the country. , making a lot of noise, how decent is it?"

"Your Majesty." There was also Yu Shi who pouted his neck and said: "If Concubine Jing died without any strangeness, how could she die suddenly overnight?"

"What?" Li Wei's face became more and more gloomy: "Do you think that I am blind and deaf, and I can't even tell the difference? Then let you take a good look instead of me, how about it?"

As soon as these words came out, the minister who was still questioning just now immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty.

Li Wei snorted coldly, and directly retreated to leave, and asked Hai Gonggong to pass the decree. Recently, it is related to the matter of Jingfei, so he is not allowed to ask for an audience alone.

But the pressure on the court will not disappear because of this.

For breakfast, Li Wei went to Fengluan Palace. Some palace people had already prepared breakfast, the exquisite and rich breakfast, but Li Wei didn't have much appetite. Fu Yao also took two mouthfuls without interest and then put down his chopsticks.

The palace servants removed the breakfast, and when the two sat down to chat, Li Wei leaned on the couch, squinted slightly, and looked at Fu Yao lazily.

"Why do you have no appetite today?"

"I don't want to eat." Fu Yao also wondered whether the Queen Mother and Liu's family would still be Liu Xinru on purpose because of this.

Li Wei was also under pressure in his heart, so he didn't say much for a while.

At the same time, in Liu Xinru's mourning hall, a man dressed in eunuch clothes was holding a tribute, lowered his head and stepped forward, silently placed the tribute on the table, and then looked around.

Xiangmei noticed that the eunuch did not leave after putting down the tribute, so she frowned and said, "What are you still doing here?"

The eunuch reacted immediately, lowered his head to avoid Xiangmei's gaze, turned his back and hurried outside.

Xiangmei looked back strangely, feeling strange in her heart, this eunuch didn't seem to have seen it before, and didn't seem to be serving in the empress's palace.

Was it sent by the Queen Mother?

How do you act frizzy?
At night, everyone who was guarding the spirit was drowsy, and Xiangmei fell asleep leaning on the side. Zhou Zhiwu, still dressed as an eunuch, walked in cautiously all the way in from the outside. After falling asleep, he walked to the coffin.

Because the coffin was still at rest, the emperor and the queen mother's orders had not come down, so the coffin had not been sealed yet. When Zhou Zhiwu approached, he saw the dark and quiet Liu Xinru lying in the coffin. He raised his hand and put it against Liu Xinru's throat. Push it up to force out the medicine she had taken, and take out a piece of dyed incense from the sleeve and put it by Liu Xinru's nose.

After a while, Liu Xinru woke up leisurely.

Just when she was about to speak, Zhou Zhiwu covered her mouth.
