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

Chapter 204 The Empress Dowager Poisoned Qinglian?
Patriarch Liu sat on the chair sent by the jailer and watched the jailer put the food on the low table next to him.

His eyes quickly turned to the jailer.

"Has there been any movement outside these two days?"

The jailer shook his head: "What are you talking about?
While talking, he put away the food box, stood up and said with a smile: "My lord, you should eat first. I went to the restaurant and asked someone to make it. It is different from the food in the cell."

Patriarch Liu has no appetite. The news has been out for two days, but there is no news at all. He is not sure what is going on with the Queen Mother.

In the past two days, he spent the remaining money on his body to buy off the jailers, so that he could live a little more comfortably for a year, but if this drags on, it might not be a good thing for these jailers to accept the money but not the people.

No one from the family came over, and the current situation is probably not optimistic.

Patriarch Liu thought of this, and asked the jailer: "Did there be any rumors about the queen mother in the past two days?"

"Empress Dowager." Upon hearing this, the jailer immediately said, "I heard that the Empress Dowager is ill, and she is still not recovering. The imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital are very busy, but no one knows what the Empress Dowager is suffering from."

Patriarch Liu's heart skipped a beat.

Was it made by the emperor?
It seems that now we can't pin all our hopes on the queen mother, he said to the jailer again: "I also want to ask my elder brother to send a letter for me, this time to the gate of the west city, there is a tea stall there, the stall owner's surname is Li, just leave it to him."

The jailer smiled, "My lord, the west city gate is a long way from our Dali Temple. The villain has to be on duty all day long, so he really doesn't have so much time."

Even though he said that, the jailer's eyes swept over Patriarch Liu.

Obviously, it is only willing to do this matter for a fee.

Patriarch Liu hesitated for a moment, and decided to put all his eggs in one basket. He took out the only thing left on his body, and handed it to the jailer: "Take this to the pawn shop, and if it can be pawned for 100 taels of silver, it will be used as a drink for you when you are thirsty on the road."

After collecting the things, the jailer quickly became enthusiastic again, and skillfully brought a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, asked Patriarch Liu to write a letter, put it in his arms, and sent the letter out when he was about to wait for his shift.

After eating, after the jailer took away the bowls and chopsticks, Patriarch Liu was still sitting there thinking about the current situation and how to escape.

If the Empress Dowager is seriously ill, the emperor must put the Liu family to death, and then when the people in the local area are contacted, they can only rebel.

Kill the emperor.

When he takes power and controls the government and the public, who dares to say that it is his fault?
Just thinking of this, the jailer brought someone over to open the cell door: "Someone is here to see you."

Family Master Liu looked up, only to see a person wearing a black cloak, with his head down and he couldn't see his face clearly.

After the jailer left, the man took off his cloak: "Master Liu, you have suffered."

"Why are you here now?"

Recognizing that it was an eunuch in the Empress Dowager's Palace, Patriarch Liu couldn't help complaining, and asked: "What is the current situation of the Empress Dowager? The emperor wants to take advantage of the current situation to kill all of the Liu family?"

The eunuch glanced around, walked in front of Patriarch Liu, bent down and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, the emperor doesn't dare to do anything to the empress dowager. The empress dowager's illness has improved a lot, but she still needs to cultivate."

Patriarch Liu nodded upon hearing this.

That's fine.

If the emperor dare not touch the queen mother, there is room for maneuver in everything.

After so many years of preparation, it would always be a bad idea to rebel in a hasty way while others are still in Dali Temple.

The eunuch saw Patriarch Liu lowering his brows in thought, and said again: "Originally, the servant came to deliver the news to the lord two days ago, but Dali Temple is no better than other places, so the servant found the opportunity to come in. The Empress Dowager has ordered you to wait for the time being." Stay here with peace of mind, the empress dowager in Dali Temple will take care of you and will not treat you badly, and when the empress dowager recovers, she will rescue you."

"When? Patriarch Liu followed up and asked.

The eunuch was at a loss for words for a while: "There is no specific time for this, at least until the turmoil has passed, sir, you will suffer some grievances."

Patriarch Liu frowned, unwilling in his heart.

But now there is no other way, so I can only respond: "I see."

"It's inconvenient for the slave to stay longer, so I'll leave first. My lord must be patient."

The eunuch put on his cloak and hat again, and went out with his head bowed. When the jailer came to close the door, the eunuch stuffed a stack of silver bills into the jailer's hand: "These silver bills are divided among your brothers. You must serve this lord well. There is an omission."

"Don't worry, don't worry!"

The eunuch went to the women's prison where Qinglian was held.

Seeing the eunuch, Qinglian excitedly got up from the ground, and asked through the cell door: "When will the Empress Dowager rescue me?"

The eunuch shook his head: "There is a problem with the maid you arranged to go to the Empress Dowager's side. This matter is due to your lax supervision. The Empress Dowager is still angry, and the situation is not right now. You have to stay there for a while."

The light in Qinglian's eyes dimmed instantly.

The eunuch took out another paper bag from his pocket and handed it to Qinglian.

"But Empress Dowager Ning still remembers your loyalty. Now the situation forces me to wrong you. These are given to you by the Empress Dowager's order, and the prison will take care of them, so I won't treat you badly."

Hearing this, Qinglian was relieved.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager."

After the eunuch left, Qinglian opened the paper bag and found that there were several pieces of delicate snacks inside, which were her favorite taste all the time.

Qinglian sat down slowly against the wall, took a piece of pastry and took a bite.

After swallowing it for only a moment, Qinglian suddenly felt that it was difficult to breathe, she reacted suddenly, and looked at the pastry in her hand in shock!

The next moment, Qinglian quickly threw away the birth cake, lowered her head and scratched her throat with her fingers, trying to get out what she had already eaten.

The Queen Mother wanted to poison her to death!

why!
Qing Lian felt despair, grief and indignation in her heart, and she gradually lost her strength. She fell powerlessly to the ground, her eyes staring and there was no movement.

……

"emperor."

When Eunuch Hai entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation, seeing Fu Yao grinding beside him, he handed the envelope in front of Li Wei.

"This is news from Dali Temple."

"I see, back down."

"Yes."

After Eunuch Hai withdrew, Li Wei opened the letter, and Fu Yao came over to read it curiously.

"Queen, poisoned to death...Qinglian?"

Fu Yao stumbled out, and then looked at Li Wei in shock.

"Queen Mother! You poisoned Qinglian to death!"

Isn't Qinglian the one who works for the Queen Mother?The Queen Mother just let someone poison her to death?

Li Wei was not surprised, put away the letter paper, got up and went to the window, and burned it in the small stove, a dark light flashed in his eyes.
