There is indeed a turmoil in the Northern Palace. The emperor is in bed, and the queen mother is also bedridden after fainting. All affairs are placed on the queen alone.
As for the Queen, she looked worried on the surface, but actually she was happy inside. None of those princes crawled out of her belly. It was a pity that the eldest prince should have been recorded in her name.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please wake up." The queen wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes and looked at the concubines. She felt so proud that she had a prince by her side? Haha, now I still have to rely on me.
"Your Majesty, wake up... get up and take a look at our prince..."
"Your Majesty... wuwuwu... wake up quickly. If something happens to you, what will I do?"
"Your Majesty, please open your eyes and look at me. Don't blind me. I am afraid..."
······
The queen looked at these little bitches, even when the emperor was in a coma, he did not forget their charming ways, and she became angry and said, "Shut up, you all, you are giving me a headache."
Concubine Li, who is usually the most favored, was unhappy, "What do you mean, the queen? Don't we concubines even worry about the emperor?"
"Yes, the Queen has a noble status, but... you can't bully others like this."
"The Queen, even if it's not for the sake of us serving the Emperor for so many years, it must be for the sake of our just-passed prince." A pale-faced concubine glared at the Queen angrily, her face full of unwillingness and grief. .
"Yes, the emperor has not yet been buried. What is the queen... going to do to us people? Does she want to get rid of them all?"
"Presumptuous!" The queen suddenly stood up, frightening the little eunuchs beside her.
The queen looked at the woman who had just spoken. This person was the eldest prince's biological mother, Yungui Concubine. It was because of her low status that the queen wanted to steal her son.
Now that her son is dead, she has nothing to fear.
"You mean, I harmed your child? I think you have lost your mind and gone crazy. Someone, please take the Yungui concubine down and think about it. She will not come out for three months."
Concubine Yungui was not afraid at all. She had nothing left, so what if she faced the wall and thought about her fault? He sneered twice, raised his head and walked out.
Although the other concubines are not afraid of the queen, they are too lazy to talk to her. What they are most worried about now is the emperor. As long as the emperor is fine, they will still have a chance.
In the side hall of the palace, the old man looked at the information in his hand seriously, with a fierce look in his eyes as if he wanted to eat someone.
"This woman, I really underestimate her. However, for the sake of her revenge for my child, I can leave her intact body."
"The Queen Mother has stayed behind closed doors since she fainted. She said she wanted to pray for the princes who passed away."
"Oh, the acting looks quite similar. Are all the women in this world born actors?"
The old man was filled with resentment when he thought of the information reported by his subordinates. He really didn't expect that the late emperor would be so cruel and do such vicious things to his bloodline. Hehehe, just wait, he will soon make their Northern Territory The country has changed hands.
"Master, there is one more thing."
"explain."
"The emperor seems to have been poisoned by more than just us."
"What's the meaning?"
The subordinate hesitated, "It seems someone took action before us."
The old man put down the letter in his hand, "Are you sure?"
"I have personally confirmed it. Although the pulse is very weak, I am very sure. However... I have not found out what kind of poison it is. But it can indeed cause people to slowly lose their vitality and die. Silent and silent.”
The old man smiled, "This is actually interesting."
"Also, there is a letter from the tower saying that arrangements have been made and the troops can be withdrawn at any time, but... he said that without the emperor's imperial edict, it will not be popular after all."
The old man frowned and said, "After so many years, the army is still not stable?"
"There are a few senior people who have never dealt with Tali. But master, don't worry. If necessary, Tali will never hold us back."
The old man nodded, "Keep an eye on me. We have been losing everything recently. I don't want to hear any more bad news."
"yes."
"Also, have the arrangements been made?"
"Yes, Li Meiren, she was favored three months ago, and there are records in the palace."
The old man sighed. At his age, he didn't know if he would be able to have an heir, so he could only replace him with a fake one. Suddenly, he remembered that he had a son. Although he was a loser, he was still his son. "Xu'er... is he still in Northern Xinjiang?"
The subordinate froze, "Holy Master... is he dead?"
"Dead?" The old man frowned, "How could he die? Why didn't you mention it to me?"
The subordinate immediately knelt down, "I reported this to the master, but... the master may have been busy with the Fuhu Mountain tomb at that time. I mentioned it to you several times, but you may not have paid attention, so... ····”
The old man sighed, "If you die, just die. This is his life."
"By the way, the emperor should also keep an eye on him. Don't let him die too quickly. He might need it later."
"yes."
"Okay, let me go and see the Queen Mother who is praying. I haven't been there for a few days. After all, I will still need her for something in the future."
The old man chuckled lightly, and his subordinates immediately brought him a cloak, "Master, do you need me to follow you?"
"No, you go and do your work."
"yes."
The old man walked leisurely and contentedly in the palace, with the cold wind blowing. He seemed to be a little more awake and in a relaxed mood. Although the matter was completely out of his control, fortunately, it was not completely impossible. Although it was still different from what he expected, But there is still a chance, right? As long as they don't give up, their great cause will definitely succeed one day.
The Queen Mother's palace was dark at the moment, and there were not even any maids or eunuchs to serve her. The old man frowned as soon as he walked into the hall, there was a smell of blood. He walked over looking for the smell and saw the body of the old eunuch who had been waiting beside the Queen Mother all year round. His eyes were wide open, as if he had been frightened before his death, and a dagger shone brightly on his chest.
The old man recognized it. The dagger belonged to the Queen Mother and he had given it to her. The Queen Mother liked flashy things, so the dagger was inlaid with many gems, which he recognized immediately.
"Xia Lang?" The Queen Mother appeared in the palace wearing a white lining with disheveled hair, like a female ghost.
The old man frowned, as if he hadn't seen the body, "Why are you wearing so little? What should I do if I catch a cold?"
The Queen Mother smiled sadly, "I'm not cold." How can a walking dead feel?
The old man took off his cloak and put it on others directly, "Be careful, I should worry if I catch a cold."
The Queen Mother smiled and said nothing. Look, even now, he was still so gentle to her. Little did she know that it was this damn tenderness that brought her to this point.
