At this time, the three children had been carried down, and the room became quiet again. Lianyi opened her eyes with difficulty, looked at the prince whose hair was a little messy, and said intermittently:
"Prince, I am my concubine. "Children"
"The children are fine, don't worry"
"If my concubine is gone, you have to take good care of the children!"
< br>After Lianyi finished speaking, she looked at the prince persistently, waiting for his answer.
"Don't worry, Lianyi, I will make the eldest brother Hongji the prince and inherit my kingdom in the future."
The prince was also a little moved and immediately promised.
Because he got the prince's assurance, Lianyi smiled at the corners of his lips, then he fainted completely, and his breathing became a little weaker.
The prince felt uncomfortable, so he personally picked up Lianyi, placed him gently on the bed, and said to the pale palace maid beside him:
"Change the princess's clothes, and let the imperial physician come to diagnose her pulse later. , we must do our best to treat him.”
"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
The two living maids replied with trembling voices.
The prince knew that although the princess's chest was still heaving, it was only a matter of time before she died, but she still had to do what she had to do. If there was no rescue and the prince was allowed to die like this, what would everyone do? Look at him, the emperor who is about to ascend the throne.
At this time, Quanfu trotted to the prince and said:
"Prince, please go to Fengqi Palace and have a look! The Queen is not good!"
"What's going on? How could it be bad? Are all the people sent to protect the mother and queen dead?"
The prince's eyes flashed and he immediately reprimanded.
"Reporting to the prince, the casualties are indeed serious, but the queen was tricked by the good concubine."
Quan Fu followed the prince closely and said as he walked.
“Just tell me clearly!”
"The good concubine used a hairpin dyed with poison to cut the queen's arm. The queen died of poisoning."
Quan Fu said with his head lowered.
“What!”
The prince paused and ran directly towards Fengqi Palace.
When he entered Fengqi Palace, what he saw were three corpses in the middle.
The empress died of poisoning, so her lips were purple and her orifices were bleeding.
Concubine De died after hitting a pillar. Her son was already dead. She had no hope and could not survive at all, so she chose to commit suicide.
When Concubine Liang saw the Queen bleeding to death from her seven holes, she knew that she could not survive, and the men she had brought with her were almost dead, so she inserted the hairpin in her hand into her neck and chose to commit suicide.
The prince knelt down on his knees and cried bitterly:
"Mother! My father has been killed by the second and third sons, why do you have to leave me!"
"Prince, my condolences!"
Quan Fu also knelt beside the prince and comforted him in a low voice.
The prince cried bitterly. This time he was really sad. He originally wanted to ask his mother to help him stabilize the harem, but now everything has come to nothing.
When the prince had cried enough, he reluctantly went to the Qianhe Hall with Quanfu's support and summoned all the officials in the imperial city to deal with the next matter.
He wants to sit on the throne as quickly as possible, complete the transition of power, and uproot the remaining power of his second and third brothers.
"Quan Fu, ring the death knell and announce it to the world!" the prince said, pretending to be sad.
“Yes!”
When the first ray of sunshine appeared in the morning, it was followed by the death knell that rang through the imperial city.
The sound of horse hooves running back and forth in the city last night, as well as the sound of soldiers' armor rubbing against each other, made these people realize that something was about to change.
Sure enough, the emperor died! I just don’t know who among the three adult princes will have the last laugh.
The people quickly changed their clothes, took off their jewelry, put on mourning clothes, put away all red things, and expressed their condolences to the whole country.
Immediately afterwards, the palaces of the second and third princes were surrounded by royal guards. They were only allowed in but not allowed out. Everyone guessed that the final winner was the prince.
Sure enough, all the officials entered the palace that day and did not return to the palace until sunset and moonrise. Immediately afterwards, the prince held a funeral ceremony for the emperor and the queen, and read out the parricide of the second and third emperors. The crime, as well as the guilt of Concubine De and Concubine Liang in poisoning the queen, implicated the nine clans.
For a while after that, the blood on the Caishikou floor was never dried, and was washed every day. It was not until the new emperor successfully ascended the throne that the cleansing of dissidents stopped.
It is worth mentioning that the person who accompanied the new emperor to the throne was Lianyi, who should now be called the queen, and because she guarded the East Palace and vowed to protect her three children to the death, Queen Lianyi's position was very secure.
Meng Guangshen, who arrived in the imperial city in time, changed from a visit to a ceremony. Seeing his pale-faced "sister" sitting in the position that all women in the world longed for, he felt mixed emotions for a moment.
If it were her biological sister, not to mention protecting the child, she would probably be frightened to death when she encountered a palace coup. But Vice Admiral Xia’s daughter did a very good job, surpassing the average boudoir girl.
The other person who had some twists and turns in his heart was the prince. It was clear that when he held Lianyi, he had already regained his consciousness, but in the end he was saved by Dr. Liang. Although he rewarded Dr. Liang, he also hinted that He should retire and return home as soon as possible, otherwise he would not be able to help but take it out on the other party.
After all, the candidate for his new queen has been decided. As a result, Lianyi came back to life. If he didn't make her his queen, General Meng would probably be the first to fall out. Unexpectedly, he sent his second son here. Well, it's obvious that he is supporting Meng Lianyi.
He had just ascended the throne, and the political affairs in the court had not yet been smoothed out. If the border was in chaos at this time, he would definitely not be able to bear it. He did not dare to take the risk, and in the end he had no choice but to seal Lianyi as his queen.
Lianyi wore a golden phoenix court dress made of gold and jade pieces, and a nine-phoenix crown on her head. She sat in the supreme position with the new emperor and became the first person in the harem in the true sense.
After the enthronement ceremony was over and the new emperor and queen completed the ceremony of worshiping heaven, the emperor plunged into the court. There were piles of excerpts to read every day, and he had to balance the various forces and be busy. He only sleeps two hours a day.
Lianyi felt much more relaxed at this time. The three nannies were extremely respectful to Lianyi. In addition to feeding the children on time every day, they did not dare to approach the three princes at will. This was also the new queen's request.
Lianyi’s original words are:
"They just provide food rations to the children. There is no need to get too close to the children. If they want to get close, they must get close to me as the queen mother."
Grandma Sun has also become the grandma in charge, and Lanzhi is the first-class elder. The palace maid has become the right-hand man of the new queen, and her status is completely different.
Lianyi asked Grandma Sun next to her:
"Mammy, did you see my second brother when you left the palace?"
"Report to the Queen, I will see you It’s time for the second young master.”
"Is everything okay at home?"
"The second young master said everything is fine at home. As long as you are well, everything will be fine at home."
After hearing this, Lianyi continued:
" Have you prepared everything I asked you to prepare?”
“Everything is ready.”
"Now that you are ready, let's send it out of the palace early and let the second brother bring the gifts prepared by me back to the border. This is a daughter's filial piety."
"Yes, I will order the car to be loaded. They will be sent out of the palace tomorrow."
Lianyi nodded with satisfaction, and then asked Lanzhi to hold the three children in front of her. She looked at them one by one and found nothing unusual. She played with the children for a while and waited. When the three little ones started to yawn, she asked someone to hold the children for a lunch break.
Xuanfeng walked to Lianyi's feet with elegant cat steps and rubbed the hem of her skirt.
