Chapter 182: Female Supremacy without a King 5 (1/2)

<ul class=tent_ul>

Le Xiaoyu in the palace knew nothing about Yang Yan's sneaking behavior. In the gap between busy government affairs, she called the palace servant sent to monitor and asked: "Does Yuanjun know that she is wrong?"

"Your Majesty," the palace servant peeked at her expression and said carefully, "Yuanjun has locked herself in the palace these days and has never tried to go out. I see that she doesn't seem to have the intention to admit her mistake..."

"Humph!" Le Xiaoyu threw the memorial in her hand heavily on the table and said in a deep voice, "Since he doesn't repent, the people in Quanyang Palace don't need to withdraw, and continue to watch there. I want to see how long he can be strong!"

"Yes." The palace servant responded, but he was complaining in his heart. The emperor only guarded the palace gate and didn't allow Yuanjun to go out, but didn't prohibit the palace servants and servants of Quanyang Palace from entering and leaving, and even provided them with good food and drink. There was no deterrent effect at all.

If she were to say, she should really seal off the palace, send only some porridge and side dishes every day, and let the people in the palace wash their own clothes. It is estimated that Yuanjun will give in soon. How can she be so leisurely as she is now?

She didn't know that Le Xiaoyu didn't think of this, but she didn't dare to do it. Cen Geng was a love-struck seed. Yuan Qing had passed away for many years and never remarried. He would rather have no daughters and no descendants than to keep this one son.

She spent a lot of effort to marry Cen Yangyan, and made many promises before she got her wish. In the end, she got her support, but the old man was still on guard against her!

She didn't know how many spies she had arranged in this palace. She just fought with Yuanjun to make him stay in the palace to reflect. Although the old man was unhappy, he didn't turn against her.

But if he knew that she actually tortured her precious son, who knows what kind of thing that rude guy from the mud legs would do?

Fortunately, she made a brilliant move by making the Crown Princess. As she kept building momentum for her only daughter in the past few years and sincerely cultivated her as an heir, Cen Geng's defensiveness has been reduced a lot.

After she finishes this battle and the domestic situation stabilizes, she will show weakness to coax out the military power. By then, it will be the death of both mother and son. She will no longer have to be controlled by others and suffer this humiliation!

Le Xiaoyu thought of the beautiful future and couldn't help but reveal a smug smile. At this moment, a palace maid suddenly ran in anxiously and interrupted her fantasy.

Her face changed, and she was about to explode, but the man ignored her ugly face, knelt down and said loudly: "Your Majesty, something bad has happened. The Crown Princess suddenly vomited blood and fainted in class!"

"What?" Le Xiaoyu was too busy to scold her for being unruly at this time. She stood up immediately and said, "How could this happen?"

"I don't know," the palace servant said with a crying voice, "The Crown Princess was fine at noon and ate more than usual, but this happened not long after the afternoon class started."

"Useless thing!" Le Xiaoyu asked while walking out with big strides, "Have you sent someone to call the imperial physician?"

"Your Majesty, someone has already called him." The palace servant quickly got up and followed, answering carefully.

Le Xiaoyu knew that she couldn't get anything out of her, so she was too lazy to ask any more questions. She hurried to the East Palace in a hurry. When she got on the imperial sedan chair, she kept urging her, and eight strong women carried her and ran fast.

The palace servants beside her trotted along, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, the emperor really loves the crown princess! Although Yuanjun is ugly and not favored by the emperor, with such a daughter, his position is as stable as Mount Tai.

Only she herself understands that the reason why she is so anxious is that the crown princess is born to her and her beloved man, and secondly, it is related to her own plan.

If something happens to the crown princess, she will not only lose her beloved daughter, but also the matter of taking back the military power from the Grand Marshal will be affected. Without the crown princess as a child, it is unknown how long it will take to succeed, so how can she not be anxious?

The group hurried to the East Palace, and just at the door they met the imperial physicians who were sweating profusely. The three old imperial physicians were about to salute the emperor's carriage, but were interrupted by Le Xiaoyu: "Don't worry about the red tape at this time, go and see the princess, don't let her make any mistakes!"

The hearts of the few people were suddenly shocked, and they all understood the emperor's emphasis on the princess. After saying "yes", they were led to the palace by the palace servants. They couldn't help but feel heavy in their hearts, and they prayed to the gods and Buddhas in the sky that the princess was not seriously ill, otherwise they might be in danger today!

It's a pity that the heavens didn't hear their prayers in their hearts. As soon as they entered the palace, they saw the princess lying on the bed with a pale face, and dirty blood kept oozing out of her mouth and nose. Although the little servant lying on the bed had been wiping her, there were still some blood stains on the brocade quilt and clothes, and she looked very embarrassed.

"The princess may have been poisoned." Doctors pay attention to observation, smell, questioning, and palpation. When the imperial doctors saw her condition, they first made a guess, and then took turns to feel her pulse. Several of them came to the same conclusion.

The poison was fierce, and the princess was already dying. The three of them took out the antidote pills and dissolved them into water for her to drink. Two of them stayed by the bed and waited, and one went out to report.

"Poisoned?" When Le Xiaoyu heard that his beloved daughter was poisoned, his already gloomy face became even uglier. "Who is so bold to attack the princess? Has the poison of the princess been cured now?"

The imperial physician leaned forward and dared not raise his head: "We have given the princess an antidote pill, but it can only temporarily relieve the toxicity. To completely detoxify, we need to find out what poison the princess has been poisoned with."

"Waste!" Le Xiaoyu scolded angrily, but she also knew that now was not the time to blame the imperial physician, so she ordered her subordinates to quickly find out what the princess had eaten.

The Eastern Palace had been under martial law when the princess vomited blood and fainted. At this time, the chief steward of the palace immediately took people to interrogate her after receiving the order. Soon, all the food that the princess had eaten at noon was moved over and tested for poison by the imperial physician one by one.

Le Xiaoyu went to see the princess halfway and saw that her usually lively and clever daughter was lying there dying. Her heart was suddenly in great pain. She couldn't help but secretly curse Cen Yangyan, saying that he couldn't even protect a child. He was so useless!

After scolding, she realized why she had been here for so long and hadn't seen the shadow of that man. Didn't he come over whenever there was a little movement here?

Now that his daughter has suffered so much, why is he not anxious? Is he still going to be petty with me at this time?

"Where is Yuanjun?" Le Xiaoyu felt even more annoyed. This man is really getting more and more ignorant.

Several palace maids looked at each other for a moment, and replied tremblingly: "To reply to the emperor, His Highness Yuanjun is unwell and Quanyang Palace is forbidden to allow outsiders to enter. We dare not disturb him."

Although their words did not point to the emperor, it showed that it was her own order that caused the palace maids to not dare to spread the news. Yuanjun didn't even know that the princess had an accident, so of course he wouldn't come.

"Stupid!" Le Xiaoyu realized that her previous guesses were all wrong, but she certainly didn't think it was her problem. Instead, she scolded, "Yuanjun just needed to rest and refused to let people visit. Now that the princess has such a big thing, how can she hide it from him?"

"We know we are wrong, please calm down, Your Majesty." Several people didn't dare to argue and kowtowed in a hurry to admit their mistakes.

The clever palace servant beside her hurriedly said, "I will report to His Highness Yuanjun right away."

Le Xiaoyu nodded with satisfaction. Thinking that Cen Yangyan would be like a fool again, circling around a child who had nothing to do with him, she was worried about her. Although she was still worried about her daughter, her mood was inexplicably better.

When the emperor's palace servant came to report, Yang Yan had just returned to the palace not long ago. His subordinates had already told him about the poisoning of the princess, and he knew more details than the emperor, even who did it.

It's not that Le Xiaoyu is too incompetent. After being the emperor for six years, she still has no control over the palace. It's because she thought the princess was still protected by the original owner as before, so her protection for her was not so thorough.

When Yang Yan first came to this world, he had withdrawn the people lurking in the East Palace. In order not to alert the emperor, some people who were in the open continued to stay there, but they also received orders not to protect the princess.

Over the years, Le Xiaoyu repeatedly instigated the relationship between the original owner and Huang Guiqing, and the two had long become mortal enemies. Huang Guiqing did not know the truth and always regarded him and the Crown Princess as thorns in his eyes and flesh. He had tried to attack them countless times, but they were all blocked by the people arranged by Cen Geng.

Now that Yang Yan has given up protecting the Crown Princess, the emperor's manpower is insufficient, so Huang Guiqing naturally got the opportunity.

Originally, it would not be so easy to succeed with his ability, but Yang Yan's people not only turned a blind eye, but even fanned the flames and helped him. Wouldn't the Crown Princess suffer?

This is because Yang Yan is not ready to let her die for the time being. His men deliberately gave her food that counteracts the poison to make it break out in advance. Otherwise, if the poison continues to lurk, she will die silently in a few days.

After listening to the report from the palace servants around the emperor, Yang Yan immediately stood up and went to the East Palace. It was not to pretend that he still cared about the princess in front of the emperor to paralyze her, but because he knew that the emperor had already found a scapegoat and was ready to watch the show.

When he arrived, the imperial physician was still checking the food and drinks used by the princess, and even the things he had touched, but unfortunately there was no harvest.

Le Xiaoyu was waiting anxiously, and when he turned around and saw his unhurried appearance, he immediately scolded him: "Yi'er is poisoned and dying, but you are late, how can you be a father?"

If it were the past, the original owner would not know how anxious he would be if he knew that the princess was in danger, but Yang Yan walked over very calmly, waited for the palace servants to bring a chair to help him sit down, and then said leisurely: "The princess is poisoned and there are imperial physicians to treat her, what's the point of me being anxious?"

"You——" Le Xiaoyu was retorted, and looked at him in doubt, not understanding why he would react like this.

Since the birth of the Crown Princess, this man has protected her to the utmost. He would even sacrifice himself for her if she had any minor illness or pain. Now she has pointed out that Qian Yi is in danger of death, but he is not in a hurry at all.

After Le Xiaoyu was shocked, she couldn't help but have a bad premonition. Did he know something?

Before she could think it through, the imperial physician finally finished the test and came forward to report: "Your Majesty, we have checked everything the Crown Princess has used and found no signs of poison."

"How is it possible?" Le Xiaoyu was immediately angry. "There is no poison. Could it be that the poison in the Crown Princess came out of thin air? Did you check it carefully?"

"Your Majesty, calm down!" The imperial doctor was so frightened that he knelt down with a plop. "I have definitely checked carefully. These things are not poisonous. Your Majesty, please check carefully. Have you ever used other things?"

Le Xiaoyu also understood that they did not dare to deal with such an important matter casually, and she still believed in the ability of Taiyuan Hospital. It was impossible that they could not even detect poisons. She waved to them to get up, and her eyes fell on the kneeling figure in the yard. On the people of the East Palace.

"Has the concubine ever used other things?" She said coldly, "Why don't you call me truthfully now? If we can't find out the source of the poison, I'll lose all the heads on your neck!"

Suddenly there was a cry of injustice and begging for mercy in the yard. Two waiters looked hesitant, but she was immediately noticed and asked someone to bring them to the front.

"What else has the concubine used?" Le Xiaoyu said sharply, "Did you poison me?"

"You are wronged, Your Majesty!" The two servants were so frightened that they trembled and hurriedly leaned over to beg for mercy. "No matter how brave I am, I would not dare to murder the Crown Princess! I just saw that the Crown Princess had eaten Xian Qing. The pastries were delivered.”

"Impossible!" Le Xiaoyu was shocked, "How could Xian Qing poison the Crown Princess? Who instructed you to harm the Crown Princess and then try to frame her?"

The two waiters turned pale with fear and kowtowed desperately, but she remained unmoved and ordered the executioner to tell the truth to the two men. However, Yuan Jun, who had been silent all this time, spoke up to stop the order.

"Your Majesty," Yang Yan said calmly with no joy or anger on his face, "I don't think these two servants are lying. It's better to have them present their evidence and let the imperial doctor examine it before making a decision."

When the two waiters saw that they had escaped, they burst into tears of joy and said hurriedly: "The queen used the cakes sent by Xian Qing and said they were delicious, so she ordered the servants and others to take them back to the room. They planned to use them after dinner. The servants Just go and get it.”

"No need!" Le Xiaoyu said flatly, "Xianqing's temperament has always been indifferent to the world. He can't be the one who poisoned me. Think about it, have you ever used other things?"

She knew in her heart that Xianqing was the biological father of the Crown Princess and would never murder her daughter. Now that the matter involved him, it was either just a coincidence and the pastry was not poisonous, or the pastry was poisonous and someone wanted to kill both their father and daughter at the same time. .

Looking at the situation, she is more inclined to the latter, so she must not let the imperial doctor examine her in front of everyone. If Xianqing is accused of murdering the imperial daughter, even if she is the emperor, she cannot protect him unless she Expose Qian Yi's life experience.

The best way is for her to quietly send someone to take the pastry for inspection. If it is really poisonous, she can secretly find out who did it.

"Your Majesty," it was a pity that she wanted to do it secretly, but Yang Yan would not give her this chance, "I think it's better to bring the pastries for inspection."

"Since you feel that Xian Qing has a noble character and would not do such a thing, then you should clear his name in front of everyone, instead of going all over and making him bear an unreasonable charge."

After saying that, he didn't care about her reaction. Dangjie motioned to the palace servant he had brought to get the things. The two understood and asked him to lead the way.

"Stop!" Le Xiaoyu was shocked and shouted quickly, "I have already said that Xianqing cannot poison. The top priority is to check other things. Don't waste time and harm Yi'er's body."

"Of course other things need to be checked, but an extra plate of pastries won't delay anything," Yang Yan said calmly, "There are three imperial doctors here. If the emperor is afraid that it will be too late, he can call a few more."

While he was talking, the palace servant had already led the servant to the inner hall. Le Xiaoyu was so anxious that he didn't care that he would suspect it, and said anxiously: "I said no, I mean no, don't you even listen to my order? ?”

It's a pity that the people brought by Yang Yan only listened to his words, and all her threats fell on deaf ears. They still strode inside and shouted loudly: "Someone, stop them!"

The guards around the emperor immediately obeyed the order and stepped forward to stop him. However, their kung fu was quite good, but it was not as good as the masters specially trained by Cen Geng. They were beaten to pieces in just a few times. Le Xiaoyu could only watch helplessly. They held people hostage and drove away.

"Yuanjun, what are you doing?" She was so angry that she jumped to no avail. At this time, it was too late to call a large number of guards in. She could only turn around and pointed at Yang Yan and shouted, "How dare you disobey my order? You Do you still take me seriously?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me," Yang Yan confessed without sincerity, "I was just worried about the life of the concubine, but the Emperor's defense of Xian Qing was eye-opening to me. If I didn't know better, I would have thought you doted on the Emperor. Your love for your Majesty is false, but my love for you is true!"

Le Xiaoyu met his suspicious eyes, and her head, which was dizzy with anxiety, finally became clearer. After sitting back, she said: "I just know Xianqing's character well, and I believe he will not do such a thing, not to mention that he is too young." It would not benefit him if something happened to her, so why should he take such a big risk? "

"I see." Yang Yan didn't say whether he believed it or not. He nodded lightly and ignored her.

On the contrary, Le Xiaoyu was disturbed by his attitude. Today's incident was full of weirdness. The princess had been well protected for so many years, how could she suddenly be poisoned?

Moreover, Cen Yangyan's attitude was wrong. Ever since he entered the east palace gate, he had never shown the slightest concern about Yi'er, as if he didn't care at all about this daughter whom he once loved more than his life.

She couldn't help but doubt again, did he know Yi'er's true life experience? But how could this be possible? She kept the matter very secret, and even endured the disgust to face this ugly man openly.

Even her most trusted people didn't know about this matter. Only she, Ziqian and her daughter Qianyi knew the truth in the world, and completely eliminated the possibility of outsiders.

Le Xiaoyu knew clearly that this secret could not be discovered by others, but Cen Yangyan's attitude made her have to doubt it. When she was anxious, the group of people who went to get the cakes came back.

She knew that it was useless to stop them at this time, otherwise, no matter whether the cakes were poisonous or not, the crime would be put on Ziqian, so she stopped stopping them and signaled the imperial physician to come forward to check.

Anyway, it is well known that Xianqing was of humble origin, and he had no interest in the princess at all. Even if the princess was killed, he would not get any benefit. She could use this as a doubt to order a thorough investigation, and then he could naturally clear his grievances.

But Ziqian might suffer a little at that time. Thinking of his beloved being about to suffer, Le Xiaoyu felt very uncomfortable and the expression on her face was very ugly.

Without any surprise, the imperial physician carefully checked the pastry and soon found that it was indeed poisonous: "Your Majesty, this poison is called Ten Days Powder, which is very poisonous. The poisoned person will not feel any abnormality in the body, but will die immediately after ten days."

Le Xiaoyu felt scared after hearing this: "If that's the case, why did the poisoning of the princess take effect soon after?"

"I heard that the princess had used a bowl of treasure soup before. It should be that the Tianxiang in it conflicts with the medicinal properties of the Ten Days Powder, which caused the poison to take effect in advance, giving the princess a chance to be treated. Otherwise, after ten days, I'm afraid that even the Daluo Jinxian would not be able to help."

After the imperial physician finished speaking, he paused, peeking at her face, and said carefully: "It's just that the medicinal properties of the Ten Days Powder are too overbearing. After the princess removes the poison, I'm afraid there will be some sequelae."

"What sequelae?" Le Xiaoyu had a bad premonition in her heart. It was probably not a trivial matter that could make the imperial physician so cautious.

Sure enough, the imperial physician's next words were like a thunderbolt, shocking her face and instantly losing color.

"In the future, the body of the princess will be weaker, and even if she is carefully taken care of, she may not live as long as an ordinary person, and it will be harmful to her daughter."

"How could it be?" Le Xiaoyu fell back into the chair with some exhaustion, and her eyes looked at the imperial physician with no spirit.

Qian Yi is her first daughter, and the only daughter of her and her lover, and the heir she has placed great hopes on.

She originally did not plan to have a daughter so early, and was ready to raise the child peacefully with her beloved man after eliminating external and internal troubles, but she came unexpectedly. She couldn't bear to deprive her of the right to be born, and took great pains to disguise her as Yuanjun's child to protect her from growing up safely.

Qian Yi is also very hardworking. She has been very smart since she was a child. She can speak eloquently at a young age, and she also knows how to read people's expressions, just like she was when she was a child.

She is so outstanding, but she was completely ruined by conspiracy and trickery!

How could a princess with a weak body and worrying about her daughter take the position of princess and inherit her throne in the future?

Who is the one who is so cruel to plot against her beloved daughter? If she finds out, she will tear him into pieces!
