Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 340
"What? Axi, are you sure? If that's the case, doesn't it mean that someone secretly poisoned the empress to make her infertile on purpose?" Hong'er, who was in a hurry, turned pale with fright.

Xuegui was also stunned when he heard that.

Back at Jianjia Palace, Imperial Physician Zhou reported the matter to Minggong immediately, and went to Baosi's dressing table to investigate carefully. Sure enough, he found snow lotus fragrance mixed in the incense powder.

"Damn it, who is in the palace? Such a madman, secretly poisoning the empress and the future emperor of the widow! This crime deserves death! At this time, the widow must be strictly investigated! Never let it go!" The agate bottle on the bottle, suddenly Long Yan was furious, and his crown was full of anger.

"This is really a bad year. Baba'er is looking at the end of the year, but something big happened again!" The next day, the ups and downs of Chaoyang Palace began to blindly spread the rumor that Xuegui and the queen went to Jiangxue Pavilion to pick plums yesterday. After discovering the legend of Xuelianxiang, for a while, the court ladies and eunuchs talked a lot, saying that the queen empress had provoked her enemies.

"What a bastard! Obviously, before, rumors spread outside the palace, malicious attacks and slanders were the crime of beheading, but now, there are suddenly rumors in the palace that there is discord in the harem, turning black and white, saying that the widows are greedy and lazy, this is all your ministers It’s a good thing to be dealt with according to the will!” Ming Gong, who was in a state of despair, immediately summoned Cheng Rong, Lu Kai, Wu Jin and other important officials in the Shuilong Shuren Palace, and lashed out angrily.

"My lord, since ancient times, stalking and spreading rumors are the most harmful, not to mention malicious slander, conspiracy to create gossip, and corrupt the country. This is indeed hateful and irritating, but please think twice, now The city is full of wind and rain, the biggest reason is that there are people in the court who intentionally make troubles, form cliques for personal gain, and secretly fight for power and profit, not all because of the ineffectiveness of the ministers in curbing the rumors, so please be honest and clear, so that you can get twice the result with half the effort!" Doctor Shang Cheng Rong played calmly.

"What? The biggest culprit of the harem's quarrels came from the court? Cheng Rong, tell me, how many people secretly formed a faction in the court? How can you prove that the disaster of rumors originated from the court? Party struggle?" Ming Gong glared at Cheng Rong.

Cheng Rong said sternly: "My Majesty, please blame me and other important ministers first, because the ministers did not argue with reason, and let the Majesty hesitate to restore the crown prince to the court."

"Re-establish the crown prince? Cheng Rong, I know what you mean. You mean, because someone was afraid that the queen would give birth to an heir, they made this despicable move to secretly poison the queen. To be honest, who is it that is so blatant?" Ming Ming Gong couldn't help but feel his heart move.

"My lord, this is a matter in the harem. I dare not speculate wildly, and I should not talk nonsense. I just want to say that the only way to keep the queen safe and the society peaceful is to not appoint a crown prince."

"You mean, from now on, I, Da Zhou, will remove the title of prince forever?" Mingong felt extremely surprised, and tried his best to maintain his rationality and stared at the eloquent Cheng Rong.

"Exactly, please make a painful decision. From now on, I will not establish a crown prince in Dazhou. In the future, the prince will succeed to the throne. The king will personally issue the decree. Princes, ministers, and local princes will never be allowed to point fingers." Cheng Rong said firmly .

"Okay, Cheng Rong, let me think about it again." Minggong felt that the situation was serious, so he immediately stopped Cheng Rong's suggestion, and walked into the harem unhappy.

"My lord, the origin of the snow lotus fragrance has been ascertained by the ministers. It was obtained in the palace of the nobleman Fang. The nobleman Fang has confessed by herself. She wanted to give birth to a dragon son for the king, and she was jealous of the queen's concubine every day. Then, relying on the empress's trust, they secretly sent someone to poison the cosmetics bureau, so that the empress could not come out." Imperial physician Zhou knelt at Ming Gong's feet and kowtowed to report.

"Mr. Fang, I still remember that when nobleman Yuan murdered the queen, she was the one who came out to expose the conspiracy. I thought she was a reasonable person. I didn't expect that when I turned around, this girl actually beat her up and secretly poisoned the queen. This fight for favor is really unpredictable, I don't think so, if she commits suicide, it will be a kindness." Mingong ordered coldly.
