After being married off by my younger sister, I became the most beloved person in the palace

The Queen Mother felt heartbroken just imagining that scene.

No matter how thin the wood was, if it caught fire and fell down, it would hurt her as a girl. When she looked at Fu Yunjing again, two balls of anger suddenly shot out in her dark eyes:

"You are a grown man, but you need a woman's protection. It's useless."

"Waste." The old princess cursed with gnashing teeth. Even her own grandson couldn't stand it: "So many people are drinking, but no one else is drunk, only you are drunk. Don't drink if you can't. In the end, you need Yinyin to save you."

Queen Mother: "Yinyin, a weak woman, was able to detect danger in time, why are you so slow to react?"

The old princess: "You are not good at anything, but you are the best at getting into trouble."

The Queen Mother: "You have no responsibility as a man or a husband, what use is there for you?"

The old princess: "It's a shame to have a grandson like you."

The Queen Mother: "Why didn't it kill you?"

"That's it... ahem..." The old princess responded subconsciously. After she came to her senses, she looked at the queen mother awkwardly and said softly, "I only have this one grandson."

Even if you dislike it, you can't just hope that your grandson will be crushed to death.

Not good, not good!

"Oh!" The Queen Mother nodded perfunctorily: "I'll give you some face. I won't say anything more."

Fu Yunjing: “…”

My two ancestors, he was wrong, please let him go!

He shrank his neck, wishing he could dig a hole to squeeze himself in, but he was too weak to speak a word.

It's almost been sprayed into a sieve.

Under the moonlight, the old princess and the queen mother left Qionghua Courtyard together.

The waning moon is like a hook, and the entire night sky looks quiet and peaceful.

The old princess looked ahead and suddenly said, "The Queen Mother has been away from the palace to pray for the late Emperor. From the outside, it seems like more than half a month. If she doesn't return to the palace, the Emperor might take other actions."

If the Empress Dowager cannot be found over time, the Emperor might directly reveal the truth that the Empress Dowager is not in Huangjue Temple and try to make her "disappear".

The Queen Mother: "I will stay for ten days at most, and then I will return to the palace. You don't have to be reluctant to leave."

The old princess: "You think too much."

The Queen Mother gritted her teeth secretly: "..."

It's true that the older you get, the more annoying you become.

In the middle of the night, Gu Zhiyin really developed a high fever in her sleep, and Mother Hu hurried to the front yard to find Doctor Cen.

Fu Yunjing had been guarding in the room, and before Doctor Cen came, he had been holding a cold towel and applying it to her forehead to cool her down.

Not to mention that Gu Zhiyin was injured and in pain in order to save her, it was only natural for her to take care of her.

Not to mention that the Queen Mother and the old princess were watching covetously from behind. He was fully convinced that if he dared to ignore Gu Zhiyin, these two ancestors would break his legs.

Doctor Cen felt the patient's pulse and ordered someone to boil the antipyretic medicine that had been brought back earlier.

After the boiled medicine cooled, Fu Yunjing fed it into Gu Zhiyin's mouthful by mouthful, but she was half-conscious and vomited out half of it.

Fortunately, after a busy period, the high fever slowly subsided at 3:15 pm.

The next day, early morning court.

The atmosphere in the Hall of Mental Cultivation was very heavy and depressing. What happened on Yuxia Lake yesterday was like a slap in the face by the enemy country. Emperor Jianhe's face looked extremely ugly.

His sharp black eyes swept over the civil and military officials standing below, and found that several official seats were vacant.

Either his wife, his legitimate son or his legitimate daughter died, and he was so sad that he did not attend court.

But after a whole night of interrogation, even if the assassin did not commit suicide by biting poison, he was still a tough nut to crack and no useful information was obtained.

All I know is that they are spies planted in the capital by an enemy country, but I don't know which country they are.

The world was divided into four parts: Great Yan, Northern Qi, Southern Chen, and Great Zhou. None of them was a good person and they all coveted the neighboring countries, wishing to annex them and unify the world.

Cheng Hong knelt in the center of the hall to plead guilty, but everyone knew that Emperor Jianhe could not blame the Cheng family for causing such casualties. If the assassin wanted to capture the Sixth Prince and the Second Princess, if it wasn't the Cheng family, he would have found other opportunities.

It's just that such an unfortunate thing happened to the Cheng family.

"Your Majesty, assassins from other countries are rampant. Please ask the Queen Mother to return to the palace to take charge." Suddenly, a minister stood out from the queue, bowed deeply to Emperor Jianhe, and said.

Emperor Jianhe's expression suddenly darkened: "What do you mean, Li Aiqing? Without the Queen Mother here, I can't make the decision?"

This person supported the Empress Dowager's party. Emperor Jianhe was angry just by looking at him, but he could not do anything.

"Master Li, what you said is wrong. The Queen Mother is just a woman after all. The Emperor is the emperor. Everything should be decided by the Emperor. We should be loyal to the Emperor."

Lord Li glanced at the person who was speaking, but did not argue with him. He only said respectfully to Emperor Jianhe: "I dare not. Although it is a big deal for the Empress Dowager to pray for the late emperor, the government affairs cannot be separated from the Empress Dowager."

As soon as he finished speaking, several more ministers stood up.

"I second the proposal."

"I also second my opinion."

"Please ask the Queen Mother to return to the court."

"..."

The factions of Emperor Jianhe and the Empress Dowager were quarreling in the main hall. When the ministers came to their senses, Emperor Jianhe was no longer on the dragon throne.

After returning to the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Jianhe was still furious. He threw all the pens, ink, paper, and memorials piled on the table to the ground with his hand.

There was a loud "clatter" and the palace servants serving in the hall all knelt on the ground with panic-stricken looks on their faces.

Zhao Ren pointed at the palace servant and said, "Hurry up and clean it up. If you hurt the emperor, watch out for your head."

"Yes." Several palace servants responded immediately and stood up carefully to clean.

Zhao Ren then ordered the maid to serve tea, and then handed it to the emperor: "Your Majesty, calm down. Getting angry with those ministers and getting yourself sick is exactly what they want."

They, of course, refer to the Queen Mother's party.

The emperor took a deep breath to calm his irritable mood. After a while, he asked, "How is the second son's wife?"

"In reply to the emperor, the second imperial concubine has not yet woken up. The wound on her back is not deep, but the assassins' knives were smeared with poison."

The emperor nodded: "Let Cen Yuanzheng go to the Second Prince's Mansion as well to make sure she is okay."

It’s not that Song Lingyi’s life was important, but her death at the hands of an assassin from an enemy country brought complete loss of dignity and honor to the Great Yan.

This cannot be tolerated.

Zhao Ren hesitated to speak, paused and said, "Well... Doctor Cen left the house last night and has not returned since."

Emperor Jianhe was surprised: "Where did you go?"

"None of the servants in the mansion know, and even Mrs. Cen didn't know when I asked her," Zhao Ren replied.

Emperor Jianhe frowned slightly and was silent for a moment: "Forget it, I am worried about the Queen Mother's people going there, please send a few more imperial doctors."

Zhao Ren responded respectfully: "I obey your order."

Before Gu Yanqing went to the Hanlin Academy in the morning, he asked Jiang to go to the Prince of Pingyang's Mansion to visit the injured Gu Zhiyin.

Jiang's face was filled with worry. As she escorted Gu Yanqing out of the yard, she replied, "Master, go and do your duty without worry. I will prepare some supplements and go."

Gu Yanqing nodded with satisfaction, turned and left.
