Chapter 117 Dare(1/2)
The Queen's internal decree.
Just as the maid was about to step forward, Zhou Hui took the first step.
"Please forgive me for being rude, but in extraordinary times, I have to read the internal edict," he said.
King Ping died and the emperor was seriously ill. The queen mother was in charge of the affairs in the palace, and behind the queen mother was the Gao family. False transmission of imperial edicts had never happened before. No matter how powerful Cheng Jiaoniang was, she was just a weak woman, and not everyone in the palace could do it.
If something happens inside the palace, people outside can only stare.
The chamberlain clearly understood Zhou Hui's concerns and responded with a smile, handing over the imperial edict in his hand.
Zhou Hui stretched out his hand and unfolded it, and saw the queen's seal and Zhongshu's signature. The queen's seal may be used by others, but Zhongshu's signature cannot. At this time, Chen Shao must strictly control the government.
The people will definitely not leave.
With Chen Shao here, it would be impossible for the Queen Mother or the Gao family in the palace to blatantly harm Cheng Jiaoniang under the guise of the Queen Mother.
"Thank you very much," he said, handing the order to the chamberlain.
The waiter smiled and saluted, then looked at Cheng Jiaoniang.
Cheng Jiaoniang has already stood up.
"What's the matter with the queen?" she asked.
"The queen would like to invite my wife to the palace for diagnosis and treatment," the chamberlain said.
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Hui's expression changed.
"She doesn't know how to diagnose wind diseases." He said immediately, "I already said this that day. I don't dare to deceive you."
The waiter looked stiff, obviously at a loss.
Cheng Jiaoniang walked over a few steps.
"It doesn't matter, since the queen has invited me, then I will go there," she said.
You are crazy!
Zhou Sheng turned his head and stared.
"You're crazy! How can you do this!" He shouted out simply.
Cheng Jiaoniang smiled and reached out to hold his sleeve.
"Brother, don't worry." She said, "I know what's going on."
Brother... feel relieved...
His sleeve was tugged by a hand, as if a feather was tickling his heart, and Zhou Hao suddenly stiffened.
The words he opened his mouth to say were stuck in his throat.
The waiter here was overjoyed and bowed to salute Cheng Jiaoniang fearing that she would regret it.
"Madam, please."
……………………………………………………
Nowadays, everything in the palace cannot be avoided by the Queen Mother. When the Queen Mother sends her internal edicts to Zhongshu, the Queen Mother will know about them.
"Your Majesty, will you come back?" a chambermaid asked.
"What does she want to do?" the Queen Mother asked, frowning.
"The Empress said she wanted to ask Madam Cheng to see her Majesty again. His Majesty's breath has been a little unstable, and the imperial doctors were a little helpless. They mentioned that the medicinal tea soup that Prince Jin'an brought back for Prince Qing had a very good soothing effect.
So I want her to come and take a look, and maybe prescribe some similar herbal teas for her symptoms," the waiter said.
So, the Queen Mother knows about the tea soup.
"In that case, please come." She said.
A waiter looked uneasy and couldn't help but stepped forward.
"Empress, you can't." He said, "The empress must be anxious now that Prince Qing has entered the palace and wants the emperor to cure her..."
Before she finished speaking, the Queen Mother's expression changed, and she raised her hand and slapped the servant.
"Pull him out and beat him to death!" she shouted.
The waiter became so frightened that he knelt down and kowtowed. The waiters around him hurriedly came over, held his mouth and pulled him out.
"What happened again?"
A woman's voice sounded from outside.
"Mrs. Qi Guo," he said as he looked at the ladies and chamberlains who came in and saluted them.
"Empress, what's wrong?" asked Mrs. Qi Guo.
The Queen Mother looked angry and shed tears.
"This is really a mess. There are still people who don't want the emperor to get better and say such treasonous words." She cried, patting her heart. "That is my son. He was born and raised by me. He wants me to die immediately."
I wouldn't even blink in order for him to survive, but to say such words, am I just hoping that my son won't wake up? If the emperor is not good, how can I be better!"
Mrs. Qi followed in tears.
"Yes, this is how we mothers feel." She said, "If His Majesty can recover, the Queen can also relax and enjoy happiness, unlike now where she is so worried that she cannot sleep or eat well."
The Queen Mother held her hand and nodded with tears.
"So, your Majesty, not everyone in this palace is a mother, and not everyone has such a heart for the emperor." Mrs. Qi Guo said again, wiping her tears with a bit of solemnity, "My Majesty,
, Your Majesty has no room for negligence."
The Queen Mother stopped crying and nodded.
"Come, please go to the Emperor's palace and get more people," she said.
Husband and wife are nothing compared to a mother and child who are blood relatives when disaster strikes. What's more, the queen is simply unreliable.
I just don’t care that nothing will happen for the time being, and I’ll settle the score with her after this period is over!
The Queen Mother gritted her teeth secretly.
The waiters responded yes.
Watching the chamberlain go out, Mrs. Qi personally brought tea to the Queen Mother.
"Speaking of which, I am afraid that Your Majesty will wake up," she said.
The Queen Mother's face suddenly dropped.
"Empress, I am afraid that your majesty will not be able to face what is happening now." Mrs. Qi Guo said hurriedly, shedding tears, "Prince Ping is in front of him..."
The Queen Mother burst into tears immediately.
"It's because of this that Your Majesty is so angry." She cried.
There is nothing more painful in the world than watching your son die in front of your eyes.
"Your Majesty has a difficult generation of heirs, so he regards these children in the palace who are easy to obtain as treasures." Mrs. Qi Guo said with tears.
The Queen Mother nodded with tears.
"Yes, whenever one of the children had a headache or fever, Your Majesty would be so worried that he couldn't sleep all night long." She said, "Every time he bumped into someone, it seemed like he was hurting himself."
It hurt every time I touched him. Seeing Prince Ping being struck to death by lightning, the emperor still didn't know why it hurt.
The Queen Mother once again covered her face and cried.
"Fortunately, there is still Prince Qing now, so His Majesty's bloodline is still intact." Mrs. Qi cried, "My dear, Prince Qing must take good care of him."
When Prince Qing was mentioned, the Queen Mother nodded hurriedly and did not care to cry.
"How is Prince Qing?" she asked.
"It's very good. I've had dinner, played for a while, and now I'm sleeping." The palace maid replied hurriedly.
The Queen Mother felt relieved, and the servants outside also hurried in.
"In reply to Madam Cheng, Madam Cheng has read it," he said.
"How is it?" the Queen Mother asked hurriedly.
"Ms. Cheng said that the tea soup that King Qing ate was for King Qing's illness. Your Majesty cannot use this," the chamberlain said.
The Queen Mother sighed.
"He pretends to be a god, but he is actually just a waste." She said bitterly.
"Your Majesty, it's not appropriate to ask her to treat His Majesty's illness." Mrs. Qi Guo said calmly.
The Queen Mother turned to look at her.
"Empress, have you forgotten? Her Majesty asked her to come before she was ill, but she will be held accountable." Mrs. Qi Guo said, looking outside the palace door, "If your Majesty wakes up, she will be the first one to be spared."
The Queen Mother was horrified and took pictures of several cases.
"She shouldn't be allowed into the palace!" she shouted.
"My Majesty, you didn't let her enter the palace, but she took advantage of it, saying that your Majesty is unkind and unkind to you. However, if she comes in, your Majesty can keep her in the palace." Mrs. Qi Guo said.
