Chapter 968: Mother's Grace to the World
While several people were chatting, Eunuch Han, the steward next to Long Yi, came.
He met the ceremony first, and then said: "The Queen, your two highnesses, the prince and concubine, the emperor ordered the old slave to send the news, saying that he will first confer the five princes who have reached the crown as kings. There are five at the moment. There are three titles to choose from.”
“Which five are there? Please tell me quickly,” Fu Beimo asked.
"King Xian, King Qi, King Rong, King Rui, King Yan."
Eunuch Han explained in detail what five words they were.
Fu Ciyi has no interest in this.
Fu Beimo lowered his voice and said to his brother: "Brother, let's choose the one that sounds best."
Eunuch Han smiled: "What His Highness Ninth Prince said is true."
Qiao Wanyou, like her eldest son, also lacked interest.
Her eldest son should be the candidate to be crown prince, so why let him choose the title of king?
Isn’t that equivalent to telling others that Long Yi has no intention of making Ciyi the crown prince?
Not only did she think so, but the concubines next to her also thought so.
Ms. Zhao smiled and said to her children: "I thought Qiao Wanyou seduced the emperor out of his mind, but now it seems that the emperor is called the real dragon emperor. The woman slept with her and gave her the false name of empress. The prince was stunned. ”
< br>On the other side, Ling also said to Long Lihui: "You still have a chance. Although you are not weak yet, you cannot be crowned king. But maybe when you are weak, your father will make you the prince." occasion.”
Long Lihui nodded: "Concubine, I just went to the study room, and my father left the third child behind. It seems that the third child couldn't wait to be the prince, which annoyed my father."
"That must be the case, now. At this critical moment, whoever is most urgent is the most important in the eyes of the emperor. "
The emperor is in his prime.
The Emperor will not look at anyone who is in a hurry.
At this moment, the entire palace was discussing the appointment of a crown prince and the title of king.
At this moment, Eunuch Mo, the chamberlain beside the Empress Dowager, found Qiao Wanyu.
"Please save the Queen Mother!"
Qiao Wanyou was startled: "Why do you ask me to save you? What happened to the Queen Mother?"
Mo Gongzheng : "Since last night, the Queen Mother has been feeling a little uncomfortable. She thought that she was old, and it was normal to have some headaches and fever. , I didn't take it to heart. I didn't expect that after breakfast this morning, the situation became worse. I just saw the imperial doctor and said that it was not because of her age, because the empress dowager used to do it. That’s not the case.”
Qiao Wanyou said, “Whatever Eunuch Mo wants to say, please speak up.”
"Please make the decision, the Queen Mother, and allow me to invite the Third Prince's Concubine to go and see the Queen Mother."
Eunuch Mo said, kneeling down.
“Don’t kneel down, Mr. Mo.” Yan Funing stopped him and took the opportunity to ask, “Does the Empress Dowager know that you want me to come over for a consultation?”
Gonggong Mo said: “Yes. , the empress dowager said that the third prince’s concubine could cure the first The emperor's arm is naturally good at medical treatment. What's more, the third prince's concubine has also seen Prince Chi. She naturally believes in the third prince's medical skills."
Fu Ciyi said softly: "You. Go and wait outside.”
They had to talk it over.
Gonggong Mo said he was leaving.
Making sure that he couldn't hear, Fu Beimo asked: "What kind of trap is this?"
"Probably not. None of the people in the harem now have anything to do with her." Yan Funing analyzed, " The Empress Dowager's current opponent is the Empress Dowager. Could it be that what happened to her was because all the people from the Jin Palace moved into the palace? "
I suddenly thought of something.
She held her mother-in-law's hand: "Mom, let me go and have a look."
Qiao Wanyou nodded: "Since she can send people to find me, it means that she doesn't believe in imperial doctors and can only ask for my help. ."
After that, he stood up and said, "Let's go take a look."
The group of people left the palace.
Seeing that the queen went there in person, not only bringing the three princes and concubines, but also the third and ninth princes, Eunuch Mo was grateful and hurriedly led the way. Arrive at the Queen Mother's Palace.
Fu Ciyi and the others felt that the surroundings were very quiet.
When I arrived in front of the Empress Dowager, I saw her lying calmly, her face pale, and her whole body seemed to have aged many years.
Already in his eighties, he now looks increasingly haggard.
Eunuch Mo leaned down and called softly: "The Queen Mother, the Empress, the Third Highness, the Third Princess, and the Ninth Highness are all here."
The Queen Mother opened her eyes weakly.
"The Ai family has actually had enough life, but if they were harmed like this, the Ai family would not live in peace. I looked for the imperial doctor today and couldn't find anything. I think the imperial doctor was bribed by someone, or the imperial doctor was incompetent. ”
If the imperial doctor was bribed, it was most likely Long Yi.
Although Long Yi canonized Qiao Wanyou as queen, she also heard about the fire that year.
So she is not afraid to talk to Qiao Wanyou, and she is not afraid that Qiao Wanyou will tell her about her suspicion of Long Yi.
All because she lived long enough.
If the imperial doctor was bribed by the emperor and the empress dowager, then it would be even worse to seek Qiao Wanyou here.
After all, the Queen Mother did not like Qiao Wanyu as her daughter-in-law.
This is the truth behind the saying that the enemy of the enemy is an ally.
“Why did the Queen Mother say this?” Qiao Wanyou asked, “Funing, please show it to the Queen Mother.”
"Yes, Queen Mother."
Yan Funing responded.
Eunuch Mo ordered someone to bring a chair for the queen to sit down, while the remaining three masters sat on round stools.
Yan Funing reached out and took the pulse of the Empress Dowager, and said for a moment: "The pulse is really weak."
Then she reached out and took the pulse of her neck, and kept silent for a long time.
Seeing this, Eunuch Mo asked, "Third Princess, what's your diagnosis?"
"Where are the meals for these days?" Yan Fu said quietly.
"Of course it's gone."
"Where's the breakfast this morning?"
"The breakfast is also gone. The Queen Mother said it would be uncomfortable to eat it, so she All the people were killed," Eunuch Mo told the truth.
Qiao Wanyou asked: "Funing, how is the Queen Mother?"
"If I am not wrong, the Queen Mother has been poisoned. The dose of toxin is very small, and the pulse cannot be detected clearly. This may be the result of the imperial doctor Unable to judge One of the reasons." Yan Funing paused and said, "The person who poisoned is very strict. If it's not in the food, then it's in the tea."
"Show me the tea." >
She held out her hand.
Eunuch Mo poured out a cup of the pot of tea he had just brewed and presented it to Yan Funing.
Yan Funing took it, sniffed it carefully, and after distinguishing it, said: "There is nothing wrong with the tea."
"If there is something wrong with the tea, it means that the poisoner is in the Empress Dowager's palace." Fu Beimo analyzed, "Now it seems that the problem is the food."
"The food is not made in the small kitchen, but is delivered from the imperial dining room." Mo Gonggong said, "Old man I will send someone to check it out at noon today.”
“The Empress Dowager has a dental problem, so her meals are soft and easy to digest. It should be easy for a special person to check this matter.” Fu Ciyi. He reminded quietly, "However, don't alert the enemy."
Eunuch Mo nodded: "The old slave will quietly send someone to investigate."
The empress dowager sat up from the bed with difficulty and said frankly: "The Ai family sent people to invite the queen. I didn't have any hope that you would bring your daughter-in-law to see me and ask her to help with the diagnosis. Now it seems that you, the queen, You deserve it, your mother can grace the world!”
