As they were chatting, Eunuch Han, the chief eunuch beside Long Yi, came.

He greeted them first, and then said, "Your Majesty, Your Highnesses, and the Crown Princess, the Emperor has ordered this old servant to deliver a message, saying that the first five crowned princes will be crowned as kings. There are five titles available, and Your Highness can choose one."

"Which five? Father-in-law, please tell us quickly." Fu Beimo asked.

"King Xian, King Qi, King Rong, King Rui, King Yan."

Eunuch Han explained in detail what the five words were.

Fu Ciyi had no interest in this.

Fu Beimo lowered his voice and said to his brother, "Brother, let's choose the best one."

Eunuch Han smiled and said, "Your Highness the Ninth Prince is right."

Qiao Wanyou, like her eldest son, was also not interested.

Her eldest son should be the candidate for the crown prince, so why let him choose the title of king?

Wouldn't that be equivalent to telling others that Long Yi had no intention of appointing Ci Yi as the crown prince?
Not only did she think so, but other concubines also thought so.

Zhao smiled and said to her children, "I thought Qiao Wanyou had seduced the emperor to death, but now it seems that the emperor is the true dragon emperor. He slept with a woman, gave her the empty title of queen, and refused to make him the crown prince."

On the other side, Ling also said to Long Lihui: "You still have a chance. Although you are not yet twenty years old and cannot be crowned king, maybe when you are twenty years old, your father will crown you as the crown prince."

Long Lihui nodded: "Mother, just now in the imperial study, father kept the third child. I think the third child couldn't wait to become the crown prince, which annoyed father."

"That must be the case. At this critical moment, whoever is the most anxious is the most undesirable in the eyes of the emperor."

The emperor is in his prime.

The emperor will not look at anyone who is in a hurry.

At this moment, the entire palace was discussing the appointment of a crown prince and the title of king.

At this moment, Eunuch Mo, the eunuch beside the Empress Dowager, came to Qiao Wanyou.

"Please, Queen, save the Queen Mother!"

Qiao Wanyou was stunned: "Why are you calling me for help? What happened to the Queen Mother?"

Eunuch Mo said, "The Empress Dowager has been feeling a little uncomfortable since last night. She thought that she was old and that it was normal to have some headaches and fever, so she didn't take it seriously. But she didn't expect that after breakfast this morning, her condition got worse. She just went to see the imperial physician, who said it was due to her old age. I don't think it's an age issue, because the Empress Dowager has never had this condition before."

Qiao Wanyou said, "Eunuch Mo, please speak directly if you want to say anything."

"Please, Queen, allow me to ask the Third Prince's wife to see the Queen Dowager."

Eunuch Mo said as he was about to kneel down.

"Eunuch Mo, don't kneel." Yan Funing stopped him and took the opportunity to ask, "Does the Empress Dowager know that you want me to come over to see the doctor?"

Eunuch Mo said, "I know. The Queen Mother said that the Third Prince's wife could cure the late emperor's arm, so her medical skills are good. Moreover, the Third Prince's wife also examined Prince Chi, so she naturally believes in her medical skills."

Fu Ciyi said calmly: "Go wait outside."

They have to discuss it.

Eunuch Mo said he was leaving.

After making sure he couldn't hear him, Fu Beimo asked, "Is it some kind of trap?"

"It shouldn't be the case. Now, the people in the harem have nothing to do with her." Yan Funing analyzed, "The Empress Dowager's opponent now is the Empress Dowager. Could it be that she got into trouble because all the people in the Prince Jin's Palace moved into the Prince's Palace?"

Suddenly I thought of something.

She held her mother-in-law's hand and said, "Mom, I'll go take a look."

Qiao Wanyou nodded: "Since she sent someone to find me, it means she doesn't trust the imperial physician either, and can only ask me for help."

After that, he stood up and said, "Let's go and take a look."

So the group left the Queen's bedroom.

Seeing that the Queen had gone there in person, not only bringing the Third Prince's wife, but also the Third Prince and the Ninth Prince, Eunuch Mo was very grateful and hurriedly led the way. Arrived at the Empress Dowager's Palace.

Fu Ciyi and the others only felt that the surroundings were very quiet.

When I approached the Empress Dowager, I saw her lying quietly, her face pale, and she seemed to have aged many years in an instant.

He was already over eighty years old, and now he looked even more haggard.

Eunuch Mo leaned down and called softly, "The Queen Mother, the Queen, the Third Prince, the Third Prince's Consort, and the Ninth Prince are all here."

The Queen Mother opened her eyes weakly.

"I have lived enough, but if I am harmed like this, I will not be able to rest in peace. I consulted the imperial physician today but he could not find anything. I think the imperial physician was bribed or he is incompetent."

If the imperial physician was bribed, the most likely person was Long Yi.

Although Long Yi appointed Qiao Wanyou as the queen, she had also heard about the fire that year.

So she was not afraid to talk to Qiao Wanyou, nor was she afraid that Qiao Wanyou would tell others about her suspicion of Long Yi.

All because she lived long enough.

If the imperial physician was bribed by the Empress Dowager, then it would be extremely wrong to ask Qiao Wanyou to come here.

After all, the Empress Dowager didn't like Qiao Wanyou as her daughter-in-law.

The saying "the enemy of my enemy is my ally" is exactly this truth.

"Why is the Queen Mother saying this?" Qiao Wanyou ordered, "Fu Ning, show it to the Queen Mother."

"Yes, Queen Mother."

Yan Funing responded.

Eunuch Mo immediately ordered someone to bring a chair for the queen to sit on, and the other three masters sat on round stools.

Yan Funing stretched out her hand to feel the empress dowager's pulse and said after a moment: "The pulse is indeed weak."

He then reached out and felt her pulse on the neck, and remained silent for a long while.

Seeing this, Eunuch Mo asked, "Third Prince Consort, what did you diagnose?"

"Is the food for the past few days here?" Yan Funing said in a deep voice.

"Of course it's gone."

"What about breakfast this morning?"

"The breakfast was also spilled. The Queen Mother said that people would feel uncomfortable after eating it, so she ordered everyone to spill it." Eunuch Mo reported truthfully.

Qiao Wanyou asked: "Fu Ning, what happened to the Queen Mother?"

"If I'm not mistaken, the Queen Mother was poisoned. The dose of poison was very small, and the pulse was hard to feel. This might be one of the reasons why the imperial physician couldn't make a judgment." Yan Funing paused for a moment, and then continued, "The person who poisoned her was very careful. If it wasn't in the food, then it was in the tea."

"Show me the tea."

She held out her hand.

Eunuch Mo immediately poured out a cup of tea from the pot he had just brewed and presented it to Yan Funing.

Yan Funing took it over, sniffed it carefully, and after checking, she said, "The tea is fine."

"If there's something wrong with the tea, it means the person who poisoned it is in the Empress Dowager's palace." Fu Beimo analyzed, "Now it seems to be a problem with the food."

"The food is not made in the small kitchen, but delivered by the imperial kitchen." Eunuch Mo said, "I will send someone to check at noon today."

"The Empress Dowager has dental problems, so her meals are all soft and easy to digest, and a special person is in charge of this. It should be easy to investigate this matter." Fu Ciyi reminded calmly, "But don't alert the enemy."

Eunuch Mo nodded and said, "I will quietly send someone to investigate."

The Queen Mother sat up from the bed with difficulty and said frankly: "I sent someone to invite the Queen. I didn't expect you to bring your daughter-in-law to see me and let her help me with the diagnosis. But now it seems that you are worthy of being the Queen and can be the mother of the country!"
