The rebirth of the evil woman is not easy to mess with

Chapter 989 Confession of Funeral Events!

"Your Majesty, are you still reviewing the memorial at this late hour?"

In the imperial study room, Empress Xie walked towards Qi Jingyu with lotus steps, holding a bowl of lotus seed soup in her hand.

"This concubine boiled it for you personally, drink it while it's hot."

Qi Jingyu didn't raise his head, and said perfunctorily, "Put it on the table first, and I'll drink it later."

"Drinking it cold is not good for your health." Empress Xie was very nervous, but she was calm on the surface. She added something to this bowl of lotus seed soup. As long as you drink it, everything will be fine.

As soon as the emperor dies, she can take advantage of the opportunity to become the empress dowager. At that time, no one can shake her position. The new emperor is young and ignorant. If he plays it properly, he might be able to listen to the government behind the curtain.

Qi Jingyu frowned and looked at her, and asked strangely: "Why is the empress so concerned about my body today? Is it because seeing Concubine Li hanged herself to death, did she feel sad?"

The queen who shared the same bed with different dreams did not agree with him. Qi Jingyu knew this a long time ago. He had someone he liked in his heart, but Gao Mingyue refused to see her alone.

I remember the last time we met, he observed that Gao Mingyue's lower abdomen rose and fell slightly, which was obviously a sign of pregnancy. Alas, he didn't know where she went.

Even the emperor's uncle and emperor's aunt have been searching for so long, but there is no news at all.

Thinking of Gao Mingyue, Qi Jingyu sighed, picked up the lotus seed soup on the table and took a sip, suddenly felt that the lotus seed soup tasted wrong, so he asked vigilantly, "What did you add to the lotus seed soup?"

Empress Xie was shocked immediately, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Of course lotus seeds are added to the lotus seed soup. The concubine personally picked them from the lotus pond in the Imperial Garden. Maybe the lotus hearts have not been cleaned, so it has a bitter taste..."

Qi Jingyu still knows the common sense that lotus heart is bitter. This lotus seed soup is indeed a bit bitter and not tasty, so he put it on the table and issued an order to evict guests: "Queen, go back first, I will continue to review the memorial."

"Yes, the concubine is retiring, and the emperor also rested earlier."

Empress Xie got up, picked up the lotus seed soup and exited the imperial study room, and quickly wiped the fine cold sweat on her forehead. Fortunately, she deliberately put some lotus heart in it, and used the bitterness to cover up other smells.

Otherwise, if Qi Jingyu found out that she had added other things in it, it would be a bad thing.

She found a corner where no one was around, dug a hole with a tree stick, poured the remaining lotus seed soup into it, and then restored it to its original shape, even throwing the bowl containing the lotus seed soup into the lotus pond.

As long as there is no evidence, no one can correct her for regicide.

After finishing all this, she hurried back to the bedroom, thanked the guests behind closed doors, and waited for the moment of Qi Jingyu's death.

Qi Jingyu, who took a sip of the lotus seed soup, didn't notice anything unusual at first, but after two hours, he started to feel a headache. He thought it was because he had stayed up too late, so he went to rest and sleep.

The next morning, he was woken up by the pain again, so he ordered the imperial doctor to enter the palace to feel his pulse.

The imperial doctor carefully inspected it for a full stick of incense, frowned, and finally said: "The emperor's symptoms may be caused by too much work recently, and the pulse is normal. You should pay more attention to rest."

Hearing that the imperial doctor said it was all right, Qi Jingyu didn't pay much attention to it. The backlog of memorials is indeed a bit too much these days. He hasn't been to the court for two months, and there are a lot of affairs in the court, so he doesn't go to bed until late at night.

It is normal to stay up all night and have a headache.

He smiled self-deprecatingly, ordered the imperial doctor to go down, and then prepared to change his clothes for the morning court.

Until three days later, he felt a splitting headache again. The pain was unbearable for ordinary people. He was so painful that he wailed loudly, and had no choice but to call the imperial doctor into the palace again.

After this examination, the imperial doctor still found nothing, and the pulse is normal, but why does the emperor feel headache all the time?

This is a bit beyond the scope of medical skills. The imperial doctor was afraid of being beheaded if he said something wrong, so he hesitated for a long time but dared not say what was going on, because he didn't know why it happened.

After suffering for half an hour, the pain improved a little, Qi Jingyu no longer trusted the imperial doctor, so he sent the chief executive to invite Aunt Huang, he remembered that Ozuki was very researched in medical skills, maybe he could find out the cause of his headache.

Obscure Moon received the decree, and immediately came to the palace with a medicine box for practicing medicine. Seeing Qi Jingyu lying sickly on the bed, she couldn't help but want to laugh, but after some inspection, she found that he was indeed not pretending. Only then did he become serious.

After some careful examination, Ozuki found that there was something wrong with Qi Jingyu's head, and there were blue and black "tendons" on the surface of the scalp, which was a manifestation of congestion in the brain.

So he asked Qi Jingyu if he had eaten anything strange recently.

Qi Jingyu had long forgotten the lotus seed soup he drank a few days ago, and he didn't have any symptoms at the time, so he automatically ignored it, saying that he didn't eat anything recently, and it was all ordinary meals delivered by the imperial dining room.

Based on the blue and black stripes under his scalp, Ozuki judged that it was by no means a common symptom, so she greeted Qi Jingyu, picked up the scalp with a sharp knife, and unexpectedly picked out a slender, black body that was still wriggling on the ground. insect!
The bug looked disgusting, but it scared everyone present.

The imperial doctor wiped his sweat, and hurriedly argued: "What the emperor got is not a disease, but a Gu worm!"

He wanted to shirk his responsibility. He hadn't found out the cause of the disease in the past few days. Now that the cause has finally been found, it is not in the scope of medical skills, so it is reasonable for him not to find out.

Obscure Moon ignored it, but frowned, judging from the size of this bug, it was obvious that it had been in Qi Jingyu's head for some time, otherwise it wouldn't have grown to such a big size.

She only picked out one just now, and there are many left, and this is only under the scalp. As for whether it is inside the skull, it is hard to say now, but it is likely that the brain has been damaged.

Li Qingmu asked worriedly in a low voice: "Is there any help?"

"It's difficult. The worm in his brain didn't grow in a day or two. It must have been there a long time ago. I can only try my best. I can't guarantee that it will be cured unless Duanmu Nan is invited."

Hearing that Qi Jingyu still had a glimmer of hope, Li Qingmu immediately ordered people to find Duanmu Nan. Qi Jingyu was his nephew and the current emperor, and his life was very important.

But Qi Jingyu looked away a lot, and with a pale face, he forced a smile: "Uncle Huang, I may not live long, if I don't make it through, I hope you can take good care of Da Zhou Zhao..."

"Don't worry, I won't let the world into chaos, and the Great Zhou Dynasty will continue to exist!" Li Qingmu clenched his fists tightly. Qi Jingyu's death must have been tampered with, but it has been so long that it may not be possible to find out. the truth.

Then Qi Jingyu took a few breaths, and said: "By the way, my sweetheart, please ask the emperor to find her for me. She is pregnant with my flesh and blood. I can't let their mother and daughter live on the street. If it is a son, I hope he can inherit the Great Reign in the future..."

Li Qingmu could only accept one by one.
