Chapter 138 Taking turns to supervise the country
"Empress, the incense officer is responsible for the incense. The spices prepared are all the spices that the Queen likes daily. Only the spices you used recently were donated by the royal husband's family, and He uses it himself, and only uses it here after checking that there is no problem."
Huizhi said in a low voice.
"No matter how stupid they are, they will not tamper with the spices. The emperor is using it himself, which proves that there is no problem with the spices."
Ripples are not surprised at all. The emperor dares to take action. You will definitely take it out.
"Where's the incense burner?"
"I've asked Mei Yuanzheng to check it out. There should be news by now."
As soon as Huizhi finished speaking, there was a sound coming from outside the door. A voice like a silver bell:
"Ms. Huizhi, the bell rings to answer the message."
"Come in!"
Huizhi raised his voice and asked the maid who called Bell from outside the palace to come in.
"Lingdang is an orphan I adopted outside the palace. Her identity and background are very clean. When her parents brought her to Fengdu, they were both killed after encountering robbers. She was the only one who survived because she went to Fengdu.
It was the Fengdu prefect who later captured the robber. The kid identified the three perpetrators on the spot and accurately described the robber’s characteristics. I thought he was a well-behaved and clever man. , I adopted him by my side and raised him as an apprentice."
Huizhi explained a few words in a low voice and quickly. Originally, she wanted to teach the child for a while, but today's matter was not trivial and she needed a new face. So she just let the bell go.
Lingdang was a little nervous. After entering the palace, she did not dare to look around. She walked to the bed with her head bowed and respectfully, and knelt down to salute three meters away from the bed.
"Get up and speak, you don't have to be so restrained."
Lianyi is not used to kneeling back and forth, so she directly skips the gift from Ling Dang. Ling Dang thanked him before standing up, and then lowered his voice and said:
" Queen, Meiyuan is asking me to tell you that there is nothing wrong with the incense burner itself. It is just that after the spices in the burner burn to produce smoke, and after the top cover of the incense burner is smoked, a colorless and odorless white smoke will be produced, mixed with the smell of the spices. , others cannot detect it, and hearing it for a long time will cause physical weakness and poor sleep."
"Let Meiyuanzheng come over and take my pulse tomorrow."
"Yes!
The bell immediately answered, and then he backed out of the palace.
"Huizhi, please replace the top cover of the incense burner and move it back to my bedroom tomorrow. Continue to light the incense. Monitor the female officer who is currently in charge of the incense burner to see who she is in contact with. "
Lianyi commanded quietly.
“Yes, I understand what to do.”
“Where is the ginseng soup?”
"The ginseng soup sent by the emperor is fine."
"Then you and Lan Xin don't waste it, drink it for me."
Lianyi said generously.
The body of the original owner is really too weak to be replenished.
“Thank you Queen for the reward.”
"How did they react after the three-day suspension of the court?"
"No, they all said they would write a good note."
"I really feel that I am useless."< br>
"Queen, you are still young, if it weren't for us"
Lan Xin blamed herself, but the rest of her words were stopped by Ripple. "Don't worry, after I fainted, I have understood that some things should be let go when it's time to let them go. It is not a good thing to hold them in my hands for a long time."
Lianyi's voice was calm, but it made Hui Zhi and Lan Xin feel inexplicably sad. Which mother wouldn't feel uncomfortable being plotted against her daughter in this way, especially for someone as powerful as her own queen.
"You are the old people around me. You have to be steady. Only if you are steady, they will not be able to find out my specific situation. I have already made a plan for the next step. Just follow it."
"Yes, Queen."
In the next three days, Lianyi did not summon anyone. The emperor's husband and Rong Shijun came to greet her, but unfortunately she was not alone. Seeing that, the three princesses wanted to show their filial piety, but Ripple declined because they felt unwell.
When Lianyi was lazily recuperating, Mei Yuanzheng personally came to check Lianyi's pulse. Combined with her previous examination of the incense burner, she already had a guess in her mind. After taking the pulse, she already had a clue.
"There is no need to worry, Queen. I will prescribe a prescription when I go back. After you take it for three days, I will come back to check your pulse."
Mei Yuanzheng has silver hair, but there is no wrinkle on his face. Even though she is nearly 50 years old, she looks younger and tougher than the 50-year-old queen. She speaks unhurriedly and is well versed in health preservation.
"You don't need to record the prescription. The prepared medicine is made into pills and brought directly to me."
"The pills are convenient to take, but the effect of the medicine will be weakened by two points. ”
Meiyuanzheng is very rigorous.
"It doesn't matter. After I have arranged the affairs in the court, you can make the soup for me."
"Yes, I understand."
Meiyuan Zheng never takes sides and does not participate in court struggles, so he is trusted by the Queen. He is also a master of Xinglin. He is good at gynecology and body conditioning, and is very knowledgeable in health preservation. The Queen has three daughters who are all in good shape, including Mei. The merits of the dean.
On the fourth day, Lianyi felt that her physical condition was much better. In the past three days, in addition to eating and resting, she had been introducing Qi into her body. At least she absorbed more than a dozen spiritual Qi light spots, which helped her excrete it from the body. of some toxins.
So when Lianyi went to court wearing heavy court clothes, she no longer felt as top-heavy as before.
The three princesses and the ministers were a little surprised when they saw the queen who had not shown up for three days, especially when the queen looked much better.
“I have taken a rough look at the poems of all the beloved queens, and they basically revolve around the eldest and second princesses. As their mother, it’s hard for me to choose between them.”
Ripple said He paused here, glanced at everyone's expressions, and then said:
"However, as my emperor is getting older, he will eventually delegate power. The two princesses are my daughters, and they have accepted the best." Teach me, if this is the case, then the two of them will take turns overseeing the country for a period of one year. When one woman is overseeing the country, the other will not discuss politics or participate in court meetings. She will accompany me to Zhuoxiu Garden to cultivate, so that I can also enjoy the happiness of family. What do you think?”
The ministers and the three princesses were all surprised. They didn't expect the queen to come up with such a method after avoiding seeing her for three days.
"However, I have said something ugly before. Whoever takes over the throne from me will be judged by his political performance. If I find out that the two of you are trying to get in the way of each other in order to seize the throne, you will not be able to succeed. With the life and death of the people of Liming in mind, you should get out of Fengdu immediately."
There was a hint of murder in Lianyi's voice.
“Yes, I understand!”
The eldest princess immediately knelt down and saluted. She was first, which meant that she had the upper hand.
"My daughter has no objection!"
The second princess also knelt down and saluted.
The third princess felt that it would be more interesting to follow her mother to Zhuoxiu Garden, and she happily agreed.
Lianyi simply left the political affairs to the eldest princess. He patted his butt and took the father of the three princesses, the second and third princesses, and left the palace directly. Anyway, he held the military power eagle talisman. In her hands, only those with absolute force have a veto power, so she can leave without any burden.
