After the death of the previous emperor, the Empress Dowager became arrogant

"Well……"

"Lord Gong, you're awake!" Hearing the sound, Eunuch Shun hurried to the couch to check.

As the incident happened too suddenly, he couldn't find anyone reliable to take care of them, so he placed Wen Chengyu and Yuan Qing in Qinghe Palace to be looked after.

Yuan Qing fainted suddenly because he was too tired, so he woke up after sleeping for only more than a day.

My whole body aches, as if it's falling apart.

Yuan Qing rubbed her sore shoulders and saw Eunuch Shun. Then she remembered where she was.

"What about Your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty hasn't woken up yet." Eunuch Shun looked anxious. He now placed all his hopes on Lord Gong. "What happened to your Majesty?"

Yuan Qing's expression was solemn. After a long while, he spoke: "If my estimation is correct, Your Majesty should have been poisoned."

Eunuch Shun's face turned pale, and his lips trembled constantly, "Gu..."

"By the way, where is the Queen Mother?" Yuan Qing suddenly thought.

Empress Dowager Yuan loved her son dearly, and since such a big thing had happened to Wen Chengyu, it was impossible for her not to show up.

"The Empress Dowager has not appeared since she entered the Buddhist temple." Eunuch Shun shook his head.

Yuan Qing grabbed him and asked anxiously: "Didn't you send someone to inform him that His Majesty was seriously ill?!"

Eunuch Shun also said anxiously: "I have been there a long time ago, but the Queen Mother said that she would go to the Buddhist temple to pray for Your Majesty. She will come out when Your Majesty is better."

Something is wrong!

"Where is the Buddhist temple?"

Eunuch Shun stood up and said, "Let's take the adults with us."

Yuan Qing stopped him, "You stay here to guard His Majesty, I will go by myself."

Then he added: "Give me a token that can mobilize the Royal Guards."

Because Wen Chengyu had instructed Eunuch Shun that if anything happened in the palace, he could go to Gong Bin.

So Eunuch Shun had no doubts, he took out the token from his bosom and gave it to Yuan Qing.

Yuan Qing took the token to mobilize the Imperial Guards.

She felt that Empress Dowager Yuan might have been held hostage and that their men must be inside the Buddhist temple.

If you want to rescue them without making any noise, you can only bring more people and break through at the same time, not giving them a chance to react.

Yuan Qing changed into a palace maid's clothes in advance and walked to the vicinity of the Buddhist temple to observe the situation.

The Buddhist temple was quiet, without any sound at all.

If Empress Dowager Yuan came to pray openly, there would definitely be a lot of basic palace maids and eunuchs, and it wouldn't be as quiet as it is now.

The door of the Buddhist temple was opened, and a palace maid with a veil on her face came out.

Yuan Qing quickly turned sideways and hid.

[Roudun'er, go in stealthily and help me take a look at the situation inside.]

Roudun'er followed the instructions and hid herself, slipping in through the crack of the door opened by the palace maid, and did not come out until night.

[Sister Qing, besides Queen Mother Yuan, there is only one man in there. ]

【What's the direction? 】

[The Queen Mother Yuan was tied to the pillar on the left side of the Buddhist temple, and the man was hiding behind the temple.]

With location information, saving people is much easier.

Yuan Qing mobilized some imperial guards who were better at martial arts to follow her and lurk quietly around the Buddhist temple.

Generally, there are more cases of rescue at night, but Yuan Qing deliberately avoided them and chose to take action in broad daylight instead.

All the hidden royal guards on the roof, in the yard, against the back wall, and in the tunnel moved out together, catching the enemy off guard.

The commander of the Imperial Guards led a few good men and broke into the Buddhist temple to capture the enemy as soon as possible.

When the man inside saw that the situation was not good, he immediately bit the poison hidden in his mouth and died instantly.

Yuan Qing ignored him and quickly walked to Queen Mother Yuan and untied the ropes on her.

Empress Dowager Yuan was also in a coma, a bit like Wen Chengyu's situation.

Could she have been poisoned too?!

She doesn't know any medical skills and doesn't know how to remove poison, so it would be useless even if she knew.

In order to centralize management, Yuan Qing ordered his servants to bring Empress Dowager Yuan into Qinghe Hall.

She looked at the two unconscious people with worry.

The two people in power in the palace have been poisoned, and there must be many crises inside and outside the capital.

The most important things now are to remove the poison and stabilize the government.

Yuan Yi hasn't come back yet...

Yuan Qing wanted to go crazy, how come all of a sudden, everything exploded at once? !

Could it be that because of her arrival, the trajectory of history has completely changed? !

Then what's the point of her wanting the script from her previous life? !

Dog Heavenly Way!

There were several flashes of lightning in the sky.

Yuan Qing rolled his eyes.

"Eunuch Shun, I need your help."

"Just say it, no need to be so polite." Eunuch Shun put down the bowl of porridge, walked up to Yuan Qing, bowed and said.

"Please help me contact the Prime Minister outside the palace. If possible, invite him into the palace immediately and secretly." Yuan Qing said.

She may not trust others, but she still trusts her own father.

And now among all the civil and military officials in the court, the only one she can turn to is her father.

If she had her father's help and appeased the many aristocratic families in the capital, she would have enough time to solve the problems in the palace with peace of mind.

In the evening, Eunuch Shun came back and bowed his head and said, "Master Gong, the Prime Minister and his wife are not in the mansion.

I heard from the gatekeeper that the two of them left a few days ago."

Not at home?

Where have they gone?

Yuan Qing looked depressed, waved his hand and said: "You go and do your work first, remember to pay attention to your diet and other aspects."

"We can save it."

[Roudun'er, can I borrow anything from your shop, especially something that can cure poison?]

[Yes, I do, but I haven’t returned the money I borrowed last time, so naturally I can’t borrow it again. ]

Yuan Qing was completely discouraged.

Seeing that she was listless, Roudun'er hurriedly comforted her: [Sister Qing, don't worry. Once the matter in Beicheng is resolved, the points will be credited to your account! ]

Yuan Qing said gloomily: [It will take more than ten days to resolve the North City issue. Do you think these two people can wait that long? ]

Roudun'er thought about it and it seemed to be true.

But it didn't want to see Yuan Qing like this, so it showed up and showed its round butt, wagging its short tail happily.

Yuan Qing chuckled.

She knew that Roudun'er wanted to comfort her in this way, so she held it in her arms, stroked it gently, and fell into deep thought.

If there is no one who can remove the poison in the capital, what about outside the city?

If we find a southern barbarian, will we be able to solve the problem?

But this person is extremely hard to find.

First of all, this small country in the South has a strong cohesive force, and the people have a very strong sense of racial identity. Generally speaking, they will not easily go abroad to work for others.

Unless you have a good relationship with the King of the Southern Kingdom, the King will personally appoint his people to follow you.

Or, start with some of the expelled tribesmen who know witchcraft.

But in this situation, only those who have committed serious mistakes in the tribe will be expelled, and their character cannot be guaranteed.

Even if someone was expelled due to false accusations, it would be difficult to find his whereabouts.

This one can’t work, and that one can’t work either…

Your Majesty and Empress Dowager Yuan have not appeared for a long time, and rumors have begun to spread in the palace that the court is about to fall into chaos.

He couldn't hold back and started to stir up people's hearts!

If there are such rumors in the palace, then the situation outside the palace must be the same.

Yuan Qing could not leave, so he ordered Eunuch Shun to severely punish those who spread rumors in the palace. Once discovered, they would be sent to the cold palace and never used again.

The cold palace is a den of lunatics. It is more satisfying to fight and kill people there, but it does have some effect.

This dragged on for another three days.

The complexion of Empress Dowager Yuan and Wen Chengyu had gradually begun to turn darker. Imperial Doctor Chen did not know any witchcraft, so he could only try his best to take care of the two masters' health.

"Lord Gong, someone is looking for you outside!" Eunuch Shun ran into the hall and said anxiously.

He doesn't even care about etiquette, he must be a very important person.
