Chapter 1407 The Foolish Empress 30
It took a lot of effort to achieve the current "beautiful" situation. We can't let the empress misunderstand us because of poisoning, and push the matter to the original dangerous situation.
King Duan even speculated whether someone or the empress had poisoned him to find an excuse to kill him.
It's not that King Duan was suspicious, but that the brutal struggle between emperors since ancient times cannot be described in just a few words. In ordinary families, brothers and sisters can still fight for a three-thirds of an acre of land, let alone the throne of power at the highest level.
Naturally, Prince Duan would not ask the empress if she doubted him: "May I ask Your Majesty, does the villain who poisoned you now have a target?"
"Yes!" Xining replied: "A small amount of poison was added to the drug to make me look very serious. In fact, I couldn't die with timely diagnosis and treatment. The poison was also put on the meat jerky sent by the queen, so I speculate that it should be It was a vicious move made by someone who wanted to dethrone me.”
After hearing this, King Duan breathed a sigh of relief. It's not just that he doubted himself. As for whether the poison can kill you, he didn't care.
But you still have to show concern for your concern, showing an angry expression: "How can you be so vicious? There is no need to poison Your Majesty after you are deposed."
"That's right!" Xining nodded and sniffed: "If you want poison, poison the Queen. What does it have to do with me?"
King Duan choked... and poisoned the queen to death. Wouldn't the position of the queen be freed up? It also saves the matter of deposing the queen and directly counts it as the death of the queen. There's nothing wrong with that.
I heard the empress talking to herself: "But since the queen is dead, it seems that I have to keep my filial piety. They are so anxious that they don't even have time to wait for a year or two."
King Duan... After the queen is deposed, a queen can be established quickly, and the queen is dead, so the king will more or less be widowed for a period of time as a sign of mourning, usually up to three years, and then another candidate will be selected and a new queen will be installed. .
There’s nothing wrong with that! But it's too practical and ruthless. Is this empress really stupid or fake?
King Duan could only avoid it and said something else: "Will you send someone to investigate this matter? If your service is needed, please give me your Majesty's instructions."
"Oh, I will leave this matter to the Queen to investigate. It was originally caused by him, and he is the Lord of the Sixth Palace, so he has the responsibility to investigate this matter. Otherwise, he will not have to spend his days in this position. Whether they poison him to death or take action from me, I won’t be able to sit here for long.”
It seems that the relationship between the empress and the queen is not as harmonious as the outside world said.
The empress became interested again: "Brother, these twenty beauties have been delivered to the house. Do you like them?"
"Ahem~" King Duan coughed twice with a hint of embarrassment: "The arrangements have been made now, and Qichen will return to the fiefdom soon."
"You mean, you haven't touched her yet?" The Empress made a fuss, which made Prince Duan blush even though he had a family.
"Well...it takes more than ten days to walk on the road. If I get pregnant, I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand the bumps." King Duan felt that his ears were almost burning.
"That's right." Xining agreed: "This won't make you sit firmly, so let's go back to the fiefdom first."
King Duan couldn't help but feel angry and funny. After thinking about it, he said: "Your Majesty, don't talk about me. In the past few days, someone has also mentioned it to me, saying that your majesty has not yet had an heir. This is not a blessing for the country. If you want me to advise your majesty, it is better. It would be better to have an heir as soon as possible.”
They were really two ancient DINKs who didn't want to have children, which broke the hearts of many veterans.
Xining waved his hand carelessly: "That's because I'm playful and don't want it. I can't compare to the imperial brother. I have to give birth to children myself."
King Duan...the facts are facts, can you not be so straightforward?
I heard the empress say: "But I have reached my age, and I really should consider this matter. Moreover, I have just been poisoned, and it will take some time for me to recuperate and get rid of the poison. So after this year, I will be busy." , just give birth to one with the queen.”
King Duan smiled and said: "Then I must hurry up, otherwise your majesty will have a dragon heir. If I still don't have one, then the twenty beautiful concubines your majesty rewarded will be in vain."
"Hahaha..." Xining started to laugh, and King Duan finally let go and made some jokes. At this time, my stomach growled. It seemed that he was still hungry. He only ate three pieces of chicken before he was taken away.
So she turned to ask: "Brother Emperor is here, just have a meal before leaving. Come on, pass the meal around."
I originally wanted to refuse, but the empress had already said it, so it was hard to refuse. He also bowed: "I thank you for your kindness."
But this empress is also very caring. She has just been poisoned, isn't she afraid that her food will also be poisoned?
The chief steward next to him was anxious: "Your Majesty, you can't eat anymore. Didn't you already eat just now?"
"Only three pieces of chicken!" Xining shouted: "It's cut into very small pieces, almost into shreds. I've vomited all the chicken, so there's not enough!"
King Duan finally understood. He said he was giving a banquet, but in fact he was just using his reputation to get a meal.
For the sake of the empress, the chief steward had the courage to advise: "Don't eat too much, as it will hurt you. The old slave has asked the kitchen to prepare porridge and easy-to-digest side dishes. Your Majesty can eat as much as you like. Wait until tomorrow, and I’ll ask someone to prepare chicken soup.”
"I don't want porridge, I don't want chicken soup, I want the roast chicken that I haven't finished eating just now!" Xining shouted angrily: "Did you hear that? I want to eat roast chicken."
"Oh, your majesty, my little ancestor, you can't do this!" The chief steward jumped on his feet anxiously. He saw Prince Duan suppressing a smile next to him, so he asked for help: "Your Highness, Prince Duan, do you want Please advise Your Majesty, my stomach is not healed yet, how can I eat something too greasy?”
I want to eat meat, meat... Xining sniffed and looked with bright eyes like a puppy: "Brother Emperor~"
King Duan couldn't help it anymore and laughed.
No, I'm laughing so hard that I'm going to burst into tears. It took a lot of effort to hold back, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Let the imperial doctor come over again and listen to what the imperial doctor has to say."
That's fine, the imperial doctor came soon and checked the pulse and tongue coating.
Xining said with a bit of dignity: "I am very hungry and want to eat roast chicken, can you?"
Prince Duan turned his head and tried his best to avoid the smiling expression. He is dying again. This empress is really cute.
The imperial doctor hesitated, then heard a "gurgling" sound, which was the empress's stomach growling.
Compared with the so-called eating that hurts the body, it is true that the emperor cannot starve.
So he bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty's pulse is stable and stable, and most of the poisoning has been resolved. The hunger is caused by vomiting, which leads to an empty stomach. I suggest that you should eat light food. But your Majesty's body also needs to be recuperated, so it doesn't hurt to eat less. Otherwise, just eat less." Serve with a lighter chicken soup and cook the chicken until it becomes crispy. Rice can also be added to the soup to make porridge.”
"Okay!" Xining said happily: "It seems that the imperial doctor also has experience in food."
As long as the king is satisfied, the imperial doctor smiled and said: "Food therapy has been around since ancient times. I am just picking up people's wisdom and making your majesty laugh."
"Yeah~" Xining nodded: "Well said, he is also humble. If you go to the warehouse and pick up fifty taels of silver, just say I reward you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty for your grace!" Hehe, it's fifty taels of silver. As an emperor, he is really generous.
