The little medical concubine

Chapter 494
In the imperial study, besides the queen mother, there are six cabinet ministers.

Qi Yanling looked at Ah Cheng who was sitting next to the Queen Mother. The child was looking at everyone blankly, not knowing what the Queen Mother wanted him to do here.

"The empress is a thousand years old." The ministers saluted Qi Yanling, but at the same time they gave her a thoughtful glance.

These days, although the queen mother is acting as an agent of the government, each of them dares to underestimate Qi Yanling. The queen's glory in the past is still fresh in their memory. It is just the grievances between the queen mother and the queen's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. It is inconvenient for them as foreign ministers to intervene , I can only pretend to be confused when I don't know anything.

It's just... the emperor is still not sober now, if this continues, more bad words will be spread outside, and the whole capital will be panicked, and the soldiers fighting at the border will disturb the morale of the army even more.

Qi Yanling bowed to Zhao Zhao, and asked indifferently, "I don't know what is the important thing for the Queen Mother to let the concubine come here?"

Zhao Zhao had a sad look on his face, and the Queen Mother touched Ah Cheng's head, "I entrusted you here today because I want to tell you something. There is news from people that two corpses were found under the cliff, I am afraid that His Majesty and Zhen Guohou have already..."

Qi Yanling's face changed slightly, why didn't she hear about this?She looked at Zhao Zhao suddenly, and asked in a deep voice, "Queen Mother, did the people who went looking for it bring back the bodies of the Supreme Emperor and Zhen Guohou?"

"Because it's under the cliff, it's still a bit difficult to transport the corpse up the mountain. I'm afraid it will take some time before we can return to Kyoto."

"If you want to see people, if you want to see dead bodies, I haven't seen the dead bodies for a day. I don't believe that something will happen to the Supreme Emperor and Zhen Guohou. Besides, Shang Ruoxi and Luo Gonggong were also missing with the Supreme Emperor. Why didn't they come?" Where are the bodies of the two of them?" Qi Yanling asked in a deep voice.

Zhao Zhao had expected Qi Yanling to ask this question a long time ago, so he just said indifferently, "Perhaps they were separated due to an emergency at that time. No matter what, we will only know when the corpse is brought back."

Qi Yanling took a deep breath. She was still unwilling to believe that something would happen to her elder brother. She would rather have no news and believe that her elder brother was living well in another place.

"There's another thing..." Zhao Zhao looked up at Qi Yanling, "That's Li Chu."

Qi Yan said with a cold face, "I feel that Ah Cheng is still young, and the emperor is in his prime, so there is no need to rush to establish a crown prince."

"The emperor is in his prime, but now he can't afford to be sick. The country and the country cannot be ignored. Now the people outside are already unstable. If a prince can be established, the hearts of those ministers will be at ease." Zhao Zhao said coldly.

Zhou Zhibin stood up and said, "Empress, the eldest prince is the eldest son of the first line, and it is the law of heaven and morality to make him the crown prince. The establishment of the crown prince is to reassure the hearts of all believers in the world. When the emperor wakes up in the future, he will agree to it if he thinks about it." .”

No!Zhao Zhao's decision to make Ah Cheng the crown prince was not for the sake of the common people in the world, but for her own selfishness!
Qi Yanling looked at Zhao Zhao coldly, she knew exactly what this wicked woman was thinking, today she wanted to make Ah Cheng the crown prince, what about in a few days?This woman just wants to coerce the emperor to make the princes.

"I don't agree." Qi Yanling objected coldly.

"Empress, the establishment of the reserve is to follow the trend. The emperor has not gone to the court for several days. Not only the ministers in the court are uneasy, but also the soldiers in the distant battlefield will be unstable. The establishment of the reserve can be reassuring. Please think again." Zhou Zhibin immediately knelt down and said.

The other ministers also knelt down.

Qi Yanling looked at Xu Shanchang, and saw that he also agreed to establish the crown prince. She hated and bitter in her heart. Making Ah Cheng the crown prince can calm people's hearts, but these ministers don't know what Zhao Zhao's intentions are, even if she said Come out, I'm afraid these ministers will not believe her.

Zhao Zhao smiled in satisfaction, lowered his head and said to Ah Cheng, "Ah Sheng, from today onwards, you will be the prince, Mr. Zhou, draw up an order!"

The cabinet ministers all agreed to establish Ah Sheng as the crown prince. Qi Yanling has no one to rely on now, and Zhao Zhao is behind to fuel the flames. She has no choice but to object.

At that moment, the decree to make Ah Cheng the crown prince was written, and Qi Yanling watched Zhao Zhao coldly as he stamped the imperial decree with a jade seal.

The next step is to teach Ah Cheng how to accept the etiquette of being canonized tomorrow. Qi Yanling closed her eyes and took a breath, and left the study, leaving her two confidants to look after Ah Sheng.

In Fengyi Palace, Huangfu Jing was already waiting for Qi Yanling in the side hall.

Seeing that the already slender young man now had an extraordinary character, Qi Yanling signaled to him that there was no need to salute, and asked him to sit down and talk.

"Ah Jing, I came to ask you for something today. From tomorrow onwards, you will be the prince's junior teacher. I can't always be by the prince's side, but you can. Now the queen mother is in charge of the government, the whereabouts of the emperor is unknown, and the emperor is ill. In bed, the prince is young and ignorant of worldly affairs, so he will inevitably be used by others, you must remind him more when you are by Ah Cheng's side, and don't let him be used by others." Qi Yanling didn't have any unnecessary greetings, and now is the time of urgency, She has run out of time to explain.

Huangfu Jing was shocked in his heart, he never expected to make Ah Cheng the crown prince so soon, it was not that Ah Cheng was not well-qualified, Ah Cheng was the smartest among all the children, and as a prince, he had no arrogance at all, He is very friendly to Zhen Guohou's son and others, but, at this time...is it really suitable to establish a prince?

He has been walking in the palace for half a year. The queen mother has met many times, let alone the queen. He feels that the emperor's illness is not so simple this time. There are bigger troubles.

"Your Majesty, what do you need me to do?" Huangfu Jing asked in a low voice. Compared with the queen mother, he preferred the bright and upright queen.

A queen mother who suddenly appeared after 20 years of disappearance would feel strange in anyone's heart.

Qi Yanling said in a low voice, "Just watch... Ah Sheng is not being used."

Huangfu Jing was startled, then lowered his head, "I would like to follow your mother's order."

……

……

Two days later, Zhao Linxiu still showed no sign of waking up. Apart from feeding him medicine, Qi Yanling could only feed him some liquid food every day. This was the first time in her many years of practicing medicine that she felt helpless.

"Axiu, wake up quickly!" Qi Yanling pressed her forehead against his face, seeing his complexion getting worse day by day, and his body getting thinner day by day, her heart felt like being scratched by a knife It hurts the same.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." Tortoise's voice was hurried, and she ran in in a panic, "Grandpa Su sent a message from the front, saying that the corpses of the Supreme Emperor and Zhen Guohou were found."

Qi Yanling stood up abruptly, "Go, go and have a look!"

As soon as he walked out of Fengyi Palace, he saw Jiang He and Meng Ying walking together.

"Your Majesty." The two saluted and looked at her sadly.

Qi Yanling took a deep breath, "Have you checked it?"

"Your Majesty, the Emperor Taishang and Marquis Zhen Guo fell off the cliff, their faces are completely intact, and the clothes and accessories on their bodies are indeed theirs." Jiang He said in a low voice.

"Can you tell that it's the Supreme Emperor and Zhen Guohou based on these alone?" Qi Yanling asked in a cold voice, and she strode to Qianqing Palace. She never believed that her eldest brother would die like this.

That would be too reconciled and not worth it.

In the main hall of Qianqing Palace, all the ministers were weeping and wiping away their tears. Even Zhao Zhao stood aside and wept silently, as if he was really sad.

Seeing Qi Yanling's arrival, the ministers all knelt down and saluted.

Qi Yanling turned a deaf ear to it, and walked towards the two corpses covered in white cloth in the middle of the hall, as if she was about to open the autopsy.

"Empress!" Xu Shanchang hastily called her to stop, "The Emperor Taishang and Marquis Zhen Guo died in a miserable state, and I am afraid that the Empress will have a jade body."

Qi Yanling glanced at Zhao Zhao coldly, and said slowly, "One is the Supreme Emperor, and the other is the elder brother of my palace. Why should you be afraid? Didn't you identify them carefully, just relying on the two unrecognizable bodies? Do you think they are the Supreme Emperor and Zhen Guohou?"

"Ma'am, the jade pendant worn by the Supreme Emperor for decades can prove his identity." Zhuo Yifu said in a low voice.

Qi Yanling just sneered, and lifted the white cloth in front of everyone.

Someone in the hall exclaimed, and then tightly covered his mouth, not daring to speak again.

Zhao Zhao's eyes narrowed slightly, and Qi Yanling had a new level of understanding. If this daughter-in-law can be used by her, she will definitely become a sharp sword in her hands. Unfortunately...

The corpses had already begun to rot, exuding a nasty smell, and looking at their figures and clothes, one could tell at a glance that they were the Supreme Emperor and Zhen Guohou.

Qi Yanling looked at the unrecognizable face, no, this can't be the eldest brother!Her heart was beating faster in fear, and the tears in her eyes were held back so that they did not fall.

When Zhao Zhao saw Qi Yanling's appearance, the corners of his mouth turned up without leaving a trace, "Queen, the dead are already dead, it's better not to alarm them."

Qi Yanling didn't seem to hear Zhao Zhao's words. She walked over, took off the shoes on the corpse wearing Qi Yanjun's clothes, and took off the socks under the astonished eyes of everyone.

Seeing a pair of feet with intact toe bones, tears rolled down her eyes.

Really not big brother!

Qi Yanling ordered in a low voice, "Grandpa Su, cover it up for me." She signaled the palace servants to fetch water for her to wash her hands, looked at Zhao Zhao slowly, and smiled faintly, "Find a place to bury them, at least it's for her." The Supreme Emperor and Zhen Guohou died together."

Zhao Zhao's eyes showed a chill, "Queen, what do you mean by that?"

"The queen mother may not know that the elder brother of this palace was once framed by the deposed prince and tortured in prison. He lost a toe on both his left and right feet. The toes of this corpse are all intact. How could he be the Marquis of Zhen Guo? Since It's not Zhen Guohou, and the one next to him won't be too emperor." Qi Yanling said in a low voice, but her eyes showed sarcasm and anger towards Zhao Zhao's treachery and viciousness.
