You are asked to marry in place of the tyrant, and you allow the tyrant to send you to marry?

Imperial Doctor Zhang arrived at Ren'an Palace very quickly and took Empress Dowager Qiao's pulse without saying a word.

Even with his toes, he knew what had happened.

"Doctor Zhang, is my illness really incurable?"

Seeing Doctor Zhang's worried look on his face, Empress Dowager Qiao, who had just opened her eyes, hurriedly sat up with difficulty and asked in a weak voice.

Doctor Zhang's medical skills were not even as good as Doctor Wang's, so he dared not say much at this moment, and said tremblingly:

"Your Highness, forgive me for speaking frankly, but the poison in your body has already penetrated deeply into your internal organs and needs to be cured as soon as possible, otherwise..."

"What else?"

Before Doctor Zhang finished his words, Empress Dowager Qiao quickly interrupted him and looked at him anxiously.

Seeing this, Eunuch Qi at the side coughed lightly, waved his whisk lightly, and reminded calmly:

"Doctor Zhang, please think it over before you speak. Don't scare the Queen Mother."

Doctor Zhang certainly understood the implicit meaning of Eunuch Qi's words. After hearing Empress Dowager Qiao say "it's okay", he no longer hesitated and nodded as if he understood.

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, the poison has backfired on you and you really can't delay this any longer.

As the saying goes, the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it. We must now find a way to find Jiang Beiheng and ask him to hand over the secret recipe for detoxification."

"Otherwise, if the poison backfires severely and penetrates deep into the internal organs, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Doctor Zhang did not dare to hide anything anymore and told the doctor all his worries in one breath.

There is no doubt that his views are exactly the same as those of Doctor Wang.

"It seems that I really won't live long!"

Empress Dowager Qiao was surprisingly calm. There was not even a trace of anger on her weathered face, but more of regret.

“Your Highness, I have already ordered people to chop off Jiang Beiheng’s eldest son and hang his head on the city wall.

I believe it won’t be long before Jiang Beiheng shows up.”

Fearing that Empress Dowager Qiao might be overly anxious, Eunuch Qi hurried forward to comfort her and gently rubbed her shoulders.

Queen Mother Qiao nodded with satisfaction and said "hmm" softly.

"Right now, Her Majesty the Queen Mother must rest well. Try not to worry too much about state affairs."

Imperial Doctor Zhang pondered for a moment and decided that it was necessary to remind Empress Dowager Qiao.

After all, ever since Zhu Yunhao left Yecheng, Empress Dowager Qiao has been reviewing memorials day and night and has been busier than ever before.

If this continues for a long time, her frail body will naturally not be able to bear it.

"Forget it! I am old too. Let the Regent take full charge of state affairs."

"The Queen Mother is wise!"

Upon hearing Empress Dowager Qiao's consent, Imperial Doctor Zhang quickly bowed his head in greeting.

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Qi was speechless.

After sighing helplessly, he waved his hand to signal Doctor Zhang to leave first.

Doctor Zhang did not stay and soon left Ren'an Palace.

"Has Shadow heard any news about Jiang Beiheng recently?"

After Doctor Zhang left, Empress Dowager Qiao suddenly turned around to look at the absent-minded Eunuch Qi and asked.

"This……"

Eunuch Qi hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to respond.

"The Shadow sent a message saying that Jiang Beiheng used ten thousand taels of gold to bribe the Emperor's Shadow team and held the Emperor and Eunuch Liu hostage.

The three are still in Loulan, and there is no sign that they have left."

After a moment, Eunuch Qi glanced at the door and spoke in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Queen Mother Qiao raised her hand and rubbed her forehead:

"Spread the word and kill one member of the Jiang family every two weeks.

I just don’t believe that after all the more than ten members of the Jiang family are killed, Jiang Beiheng will come to apologize to me!”

Killing a member of the Jiang family every half a month is a death order given by Empress Dowager Qiao, and it will be useless even if Prince Changning comes.

Fortunately, Prince Changning Zhu Zhengxun did not like to meddle in other people's affairs and did not express any opinions on the matter, so as not to cause any trouble for Empress Dowager Qiao.

Therefore, from the beginning to the end, Queen Mother Qiao was very optimistic about Prince Changning and always gave him important tasks.

"Reporting to Her Majesty the Queen Mother, the Prince Regent is outside the door now, and he wants to come in to pay his respects to you!"

Just then, a Royal Guard suddenly knocked on the door and walked in, looking very serious.

When Queen Mother Qiao heard that it was Zhu Yajie, she was stunned:

"It's only been a few days since Prince Anyuan came back, and he's already recovered?"

While speaking, Empress Dowager Qiao's gaze suddenly fell on Eunuch Qi, her face full of suspicion.

"I don't know. Do you want to summon him into the palace?"

Eunuch Qi didn't understand the situation either, so he asked carefully.

Queen Mother Qiao gently put down her hand and sighed helplessly:

"Show him in."

Eunuch Qi received the order, nodded knowingly, and shouted loudly:

"Announce the Regent to enter the palace~"

In just a moment, Zhu Yajie staggered and stood in front of Empress Dowager Qiao, with a lot of gauze wrapped around his body.

When Empress Dowager Qiao saw this, she couldn't help but get goosebumps all over her body and was almost frightened to death.

Speaking of Zhu Yajie's look, it's really creepy.

His entire body was wrapped in gauze, with only one eye exposed, and even his mouth was half-wrapped.

At first glance, Zhu Yajie looked like a living dead.

Empress Dowager Qiao was timid by nature, so she was naturally very frightened.

"My sons and ministers see their mother and queen."

"No need to be polite. Take a seat."

Just as Zhu Yajie was about to pay his respects, Empress Dowager Qiao quickly stopped him and granted him a seat.

Seeing that Zhu Yajie was having trouble moving, Eunuch Qi quickly stepped forward and helped him sit down.

"Your Majesty's injuries have not yet healed, why are you so anxious to see me?"

Before Zhu Yajie could even sit down, Empress Dowager Qiao started asking questions.

Her face was very gloomy and ugly.

There was no sign that she felt any pain at all.

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, I have been back to the court for many days and have not come to pay my respects to the Queen Mother. I feel really sorry.

Just now, Imperial Doctor Zhang came to treat me and mentioned it unintentionally, which reminded me. "

When meeting the extremely sharp eyes of Queen Mother Qiao, Zhu Yajie's heart couldn't help but skip a beat. He instantly felt a chill and his hair almost stood up.

But Queen Mother Qiao seemed calm and indifferent. She stepped lightly onto the ground and said with a fake smile:

"It's okay. My prince, if you have something to say, just say it. If you don't have anything to say, just go back!"

Zhu Yajie couldn't imagine that he had just arrived at Ren'an Palace for a short time and didn't even have the time to say a few words before Empress Dowager Qiao sent him away.

This is obviously seriously inconsistent with what Doctor Zhang said!

He was stunned: "Mother? Didn't you call me here?"

Zhu Yajie clearly heard Imperial Physician Zhang say that it was Empress Dowager Qiao who summoned him and that the purpose of discussing the matter was the regency.

But now, Queen Mother Qiao did not mention a word about this matter.

What exactly does she mean?

"Huh? What?"

Hearing the hidden meaning in Zhu Yajie's words, Empress Dowager Qiao was stunned.

But thinking that it might be Doctor Zhang who conveyed her meaning, she immediately pretended to be sober and smiled awkwardly:

"Oh, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten about it."

"I have not been feeling well recently and need a long period of rest. Therefore, you and Prince Changning will be in charge of the government affairs for the time being!"

Zhu Yajie had always wanted to assist in the government affairs, and now when he heard that Empress Dowager Qiao had agreed, he was immediately delighted.

He was so excited that he tried to endure the pain and staggered to his feet:

"Your son will follow your mother's arrangements."

"Back off, I am tired."

"My son, please retire."

Soon, Empress Dowager Qiao found an excuse to get rid of Zhu Yajie.

The goal has been achieved, and Zhu Yajie is naturally very happy.

He immediately left Ren'an Palace in a very good mood.
