The queen is charming, but powerful ministers lure her to seize power and usurp the throne

Juaner smiled and said: "The eldest prince is seriously ill, and Empress Zhaoyi was in a hurry to go to Yanhua Hall to pray for him. She forgot to carry a lantern when she went out."

As he spoke, his eyes stayed on the lanterns in their hands.

Shui Po immediately handed the lantern in his hand to her, "I hope your Majesty won't dislike it."

Juaner took it.

Shui Po and Zhe Sang stood aside with their heads bowed, waiting for Liu Zhaoyi and the others to leave first.

Liu Zhaoyi was about to leave, but suddenly remembered something and asked, "Where are you going? Did you receive the Queen's order?"

Liu Zhaoyi didn't see the queen for a whole day.

The queen is the one who cares most about the eldest prince in the harem. She will take time to see the eldest prince every day and ask about his diet and sleep.

Now that the eldest prince is ill, Liu Zhaoyi keeps asking for help but cannot see him.

Even if the queen is not feeling well, it wouldn't be difficult to ask her a question or two, right? Being so invisible was part of the reason why Liu Zhaoyi was panicked and frightened.

Zhe Sang first heard her say that the eldest prince was seriously ill, and now he asked her this question. He suddenly felt defensive. He lowered his voice and said timidly, "Miss Chongqing asked the slave to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get some things. She is about to go back now."

What she said was clever. Chongqing's order could be the queen's intention, or it could be Chongqing's personal arrangement.

Liu Zhaoyi asked; "What?"

At this moment, the palace daughter sent by Chongqing to the Ministry of Internal Affairs arrived.

She saluted Liu Zhaoyi first, then turned to urge the two of them, "Miss Chongqing is asking you, why did it take so long? Can you get the silk flower?"

Zhe Sang nodded.

"If Empress Zhaoyi has no other instructions, the servants will return to Yong'an Palace first."

Liu Zhaoyi raised her eyebrows, "It's true that at this juncture, I can still find the heart to ask for silk flowers. Juan'er, let's go. The eldest prince is still ill. I'm very anxious. I just ask the Bodhisattva to protect him and keep him safe." .”

She swallowed what she said later and did not dare to say it. After all, the harem was under the control of the queen, and the queen was not as talkative as before. If she offended the queen, she would still be the one to suffer.

Zhe Sang lowered his head and followed the maid to continue walking to Yong'an Palace.

Liu Zhaoyi took a few steps, but suddenly looked back a few times.

Juaner asked, "What's wrong with the empress?"

Liu Zhaoyi shook his head and said, "I always feel something is weird."

That familiar yet unfamiliar feeling, my intuition seemed to be reminding me of something, but I couldn't quite figure it out.

Juaner thought of Liu Zhaoyi's words just now and thought that she was still feeling uncomfortable, and said, "On weekdays, I am very caring, but when it comes to a critical moment, only the empress is anxious. In their eyes, the eldest prince is not as important as Silk Flower."

When Chongqing saw Zhe Sang and the other two, he finally felt relieved.

Zhe Sang first took off the makeup on his face, and while changing clothes, he asked, "How is the situation in Yuen Long?"

Chongqing: "Does the empress know?"

Zhe Sang: "I met Liu Zhaoyi on the way. She was going to Yanhua Hall to pray."

Chongqing sneered, "She does a good job at saving face. She must be afraid that the empress will pursue her."

Then, Chongqing told the story about Liu Zhaoyi holding the eldest prince and standing in the wind, insisting on seeing the queen again and again.

"She is not worried about the eldest prince's illness. She is just afraid that something might happen to the eldest prince on her hands. She is afraid of taking responsibility and wants to blame it on the empress."

Zhe Sang put on his coat: "How is Yuen Long doing now? I'll go take a look."

"After working hard all day in the inner compartment, the wet nurse coaxed her for a long time, and finally she fell asleep. Just now I called all the doctors from the Imperial Hospital, and asked them one by one. They said they were suffering from cold, fever, and so I couldn't stop crying and drank. Take the medicine, take care of it, you will be fine in two days."

Zhe Sang walked softly and signaled the nanny to be quiet.

The little man fell asleep, his peaceful and docile appearance was very endearing, his eyelashes were thick and curled, and his cheeks were glowing with an abnormal blush.

Zhe Sang reached out and touched his forehead.

The fever has gone away.

She was a little relieved, waved to the nanny when she went out, and asked carefully about Yuen Long's situation. “Does Your Majesty know about this?”

Chongqing shook his head: "Your Majesty is not in the palace, so I don't dare to disturb the Holy Emperor. Liu Zhaoyi wanted to invite her, but I stopped her."

Zhe Sang breathed a sigh of relief and just sat down.

Shui Po came in with soup and food.

"My dear, I've been running around all day. I'm going to use it soon. I need to take a rest early after washing up."

Chongqing asked: "Why did you come back so late today?"

Shui Po, "Someone is following me."

Chongqing was shocked, "Is the empress not hurt?"

Shui Po smiled, "She's a little girl. She's only as tall as my shoulders. What could happen? When I reach out, it's like I'm lifting a little chicken."

The more Chongqing listened, the more confused he became: "Huh?"

Zhe Sang said: 'She is Zhou Siyang's cousin. She followed him to Beijing secretly, which is quite interesting. ’

Shui Po said to Chong Qing: "I put the knife on her neck, but she still dares to lie. She is very courageous."

Chongqing: "What happened next? Did you kill her?"

Shui Po shook his head, "The empress frightened the person, and finally let him go."

Zhe Sang said: "She doesn't know my true identity, so she just treats it as a favor to the Zhou family. The girl looks smart, I have other plans."

Listen to what they say. Chongqing was a little curious about Pei Xinyue, "That girl must be very interesting. I would like to meet her if I have the chance."

Zhe Sang still felt scared when he thought about what happened today.

"Watch and see. If it's a good seedling, you will definitely see it in the future."

"I'm afraid it won't be suitable to leave the palace. Yuen Long is weak. If something like today happens again and alerts the emperor, it will be in trouble. Besides, all forces are eyeing the prime minister. Today is Zhou Siyang's little tail, and there is no guarantee for others. No one will find out.”

Zhe Sang was still a little regretful that she couldn't leave the palace.

Shui Po: "Your Majesty is pregnant with a child. She should rest and rest early."

Zhe Sang visited Yuen Long again before going to bed.

"Bring everything from Yuen Long to the main hall tomorrow."

Chongqing was a little worried, "My queen has already worried enough."

The queen doesn't have much time to actually cultivate. She has to secretly sort out the intricate relationships in the court, and also has to worry about the Northwest Tower branch.

"Yuen Long is weak, so I don't feel at ease with Liu Zhaoyi taking care of him. It's better to keep an eye on him under my own nose. It will be fine when he is older."

"Your Majesty is pregnant with a child herself, why is it necessary? What's more, Mrs. An is treating your Majesty..."

Zhe Sang smiled and said, "He is the only prince in the Jin Dynasty. If anything happens to the Holy Emperor, he will be the next generation king."

Chongqing seemed to understand a little bit, "The empress wants to take advantage of the eldest prince's identity."

Zhe Sang nodded.

If something happens, being honest can save you a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Furthermore, Yuen Long was considered her blood relative, and she promised Su Qiong'an to take care of him.

Chongqing put out the lights, leaving only one. When he was about to exit, he remembered something again.

"Liu Zhaoyi is still in Yanhua Hall right now, do you want to send someone to tell her to come back?"

"No need."
