Chapter 136 The Battle for the Throne 1
Huizhi and Lan Xin's faces turned pale. As the Queen's personal female officers, they didn't realize that the Queen was poisoned.
"How come the imperial doctor didn't diagnose it? I'm coming over right now from the director of Xuantai Hospital."
Huizhi immediately stood up and prepared to go to Xuanren.
"Huizhi, you are too impatient. Listen to what I have to say."
Lianyi stopped him, then stood up and held Lan Xin's arm, sitting on the edge of the bed.
After hearing this, Huizhi stopped, but frowned, and followed the Queen's footsteps and walked over.
"Queen, what did you find?"
"You are my personal female officers, so you must have some suspicions!"
Ripple asked calmly.
Huizhi and Lan Xin looked at each other, knelt in front of Lianyi, put their heads on the ground, and said in a trembling voice:
"It's the slaves who deserve to die! I thought that the three princesses were all flesh that fell from the queen's body, so they wouldn't do such treacherous things, so I occasionally leaked some news from the palace to them to reassure them, but I didn't expect it. How dare they attack the Queen."
The two of them have seen a lot of strife (ya). If they just think about who the ultimate beneficiary will be if the Queen is seriously ill, it is not difficult to guess who is responsible. However, they are not sure whether it is the three princesses now. Whose handiwork is it?
"They are older and have their own thoughts. You don't want us to be mother and daughter. It's a pity that they took advantage of your protectiveness to do this kind of thing."
Ripple did not blame the two female officials. After all, what they revealed was some daily life that had nothing to do with political affairs. However, these children took advantage of this to attack her.
"Check the incense burner and the spices inside carefully. Also check the ginseng soup sent by the imperial husband. Don't alert anyone. If there is a problem, arrange for your confidants to keep an eye on it and leave them alone for the time being. "
Lianyi ordered directly.
"Yes, Queen!"
"You guys go down first, I want to rest for a while."
Ripple arranged a task for the two of them and sent them on their way.
Huizhi and Lan Xin still helped Lianyi lie down, and then quietly exited the palace.
"Fengshou!"
Lianyi lay on the bed and two words popped out of his mouth.
At this time, a female secret guard in black landed lightly in front of Lianyi's bed, knelt on one knee and whispered:
"My subordinates deserve to die! But my subordinates didn't find any trace of their poisoning."
"All things interact with each other. They found two completely non-toxic things and let them enter my body one after another. Even the imperial doctor wouldn't notice it for a while. Your strengths are not here. It is inevitable that you will be negligent."
"What do you need my subordinates to do?"
"Arrange people to keep an eye on the three princesses' mansions. I want to know everything that happens in their mansions."
"Yes, I will make arrangements now."
"Also, check to see if the secret guards I assigned to the First and Second Princesses have all pledged their allegiance to their new masters."
"My subordinates understand! What if they have already sided with the princess?"
Feng Shu lowered his eyes and asked.
"Then they have to be prepared to accept the consequences of their choices."
Lianyi said directly without even opening her eyes.
Feng Shou was shocked after hearing this. The Queen had obviously given up on those secret guards.
"Don't try to remind them. If you alert the enemy and ruin my overall plan, you are the only one I have to ask!"
"My subordinates dare not!"
Feng Shou said immediately, her thoughts and concerns were clearly seen by the Queen.
After waiting for a while, the queen said nothing, Feng Shou quietly exited the palace.
When Lianyi was sure that there was no one else in the dormitory, he opened his eyes again, a stern look flashed in his eyes.
As the queen of Fengming Kingdom, although she had no great achievements and never made any mistakes in state affairs, she worked conscientiously to protect the country built by her ancestors, but the trouble was her heir.
She had three princesses. The eldest princess was born to her husband before she inherited the throne. After she emerged as a dark horse and finally inherited the throne, the Queen was worried that she would not have the support of her husband's family. , pointed her to the current emperor's husband, and demoted the husband of the emperor's daughter who originally gave birth to the eldest daughter to the rank of servant, and missed the position of emperor's husband.
When the original person first took charge of the government, she was restrained in every way and had no choice. In addition, the Queen personally issued the decree, so she could only grit her teeth and accept it. However, in order to compensate, she named the former emperor's husband the first of the four attendants. Your Majesty, before the second princess was born, she also had a preference for the eldest princess.
The emperor's husband was new to the palace, and he also knew that he would not be able to establish himself by the new queen's side without an heir. Moreover, the relationship between the queen and Rong Shijun was much stronger than that of him who joined halfway, so he tried his best to show the difference between himself and Rong Shijun. , showing his tolerance and caring for the old people around the Queen.
A year after he became the emperor's husband, the queen was pregnant and was sure that the child was his. He was relieved. The second princess was born amidst everyone's expectation. The emperor's husband naturally held him by his side and raised her. From then on He also had someone to rely on.
The father of the Third Princess was a minor servant, and he did not have any great power behind him. He was only valued by the Queen, so he had the Third Princess. After the Princess came of age, the Queen promoted the minor to the last of the Four Princes.
The original person was relatively restrained and did not indulge in love. After having three heirs, she did not have any more children. However, as the princesses grew up, there was some difficulty between the eldest princess and the second princess, and they continued to fight openly and secretly in private. , and there are advocates on both sides.
The older generation in the court all support the eldest princess, believing that she is the legitimate legitimate daughter and the eldest daughter. The second princess only took the position of a legitimate daughter because of the will of the Supreme Empress, and because of the support of the imperial husband behind her. , to compete with the eldest princess.
Some new ministers supported the second princess. After all, she was the royal husband appointed by the Queen Mother. Her daughter was naturally the legitimate daughter and qualified to inherit the throne. The eldest princess's father's family was not prosperous and could not give the eldest princess too much. support.
The root of the disaster was laid like this. The two sides went back and forth, and no one was willing to admit defeat. The original body did not want to kill each other, so she could only keep trying to balance the two sides. Unfortunately, as they grew older, the two princesses had restrained themselves. Unable to stop himself, he attacked the Queen one after another.
These two people are not stupid. They knew that if their mother died suddenly, they would definitely arouse the suspicion of the royal family members, so the two of them administered chronic non-toxic medicine to the original body, with the purpose of making the original body feel uncomfortable and have no energy. Handle government affairs and delegate power to them.
It's a pity that these two chronic non-toxic drugs, when they came together, formed a new chronic poison that began to eat away at the original body. The imperial doctor did not notice it at the beginning. When it was discovered later, there was no way to save it. .
After the original person knew the reason for his broken body, he sent both of them to prison in a fit of anger and disposed of their father's family.
