Pick all the cold branches

Concubine Liu's head wind is a long-standing disease, but this time the attack was particularly fierce, and the needles and medicines did not improve after a month, but became more and more heavy, and finally became paralyzed by apoplexy, unable to move half of her body. After lying on the bed for another three days, he finally died.

The next day, the two servants who prepared medicine for Concubine Liu were so frightened that they threw themselves into the well.The imperial doctor who consulted Concubine Liu was also relegated due to the failure of the treatment, and left the Royal Imperial Hospital to retire and return home.Down from the Tai Hospital, the Royal Pharmacy, the Herbal Medicine Storehouse, the Pharmacy Bureau, and the other related medical officials and palace officials in the Anle Hall are all in danger, fearing that they will be implicated.

Since the death of Empress Yuan, there has never been a woman above the imperial concubine in the harem.Now Concubine Liu Xian died of illness so suddenly, overnight, cast a heavy shadow on the entire inner court, even the outer court was shaken by it.

Because Concubine Liu is the biological mother of His Highness King Zhao.

Cao Min and other cabinet ministers wanted to enter the palace overnight to find out, but they were all stopped outside the gate of Xi'an.

The internal officials of the Supervisor of Ceremonies spread the word, saying that the words were delivered by Governor Chen himself, that the Holy Majesty was saddened by Concubine Liu’s death, and the dragon’s body was ill. Only His Royal Highness Zhao Wang was left to serve in front of him, and no foreign ministers would be summoned. .

A group of important officials in the pavilion were all blocked outside the palace gate by eunuchs, and they couldn't see the holy face if they wanted to. It seems that the name "Nine Thousand Years" doesn't even need to be covered up.

Sensing that the situation was not right, Mr. Cao Ge immediately diverted to the county palace of King Jiayu of Ankang County regardless of his age.

At that time, Jiayu actually didn't sleep well.

Concubine Liu's death was by no means an accident, and Chen Shiqin's behind-the-scenes planning was indispensable.Those two little servants were probably silenced.As for the imperial doctors who retired and returned to their hometowns, most of them could not escape.

But taking the life of a concubine with a weak personality and no support from her mother's family will definitely not be the goal, but only the beginning.

Next, Eunuch Chen must find an excuse to keep Qilang in the inner court in order to completely control him.

In particular, if you can persuade your father—no matter what method you use, to let your father grant Qilang to live in the Qingning Palace, and use the method of "entering the East Palace" to make Qilang the crown prince, that would be wonderful .

Killing Concubine Liu and holding Qilang hostage was Chen Shiqin's response to his father's insistence on getting his second brother to clean up the southeast.

He Chen Shiqin can kill people in the inner court, not only

Killing a few servants in the court is not limited to ordinary beauties and royal wives, but the virtuous concubine who is deeply loved in the harem, the birth mother of His Highness King Zhao.

Since the prince's mother was able to kill him, then maybe he can kill the prince himself.If it doesn't work, just kill the emperor.

It's ridiculous that their father, who was proud all his life, took the face and reputation of the emperor of the Tian family very seriously. Could it be that now he can only be like a big horse monkey, trapped in the deep palace by an old eunuch, and can't even save his concubine? ?

This is really not like the father's behavior.

Maybe the father still has concerns about his son's life, so he forbears for the time being, or maybe the father has other plans, so he bowed down to confuse his opponent.

After all, empowerment is easy, but power collection is too difficult.

If you are not careful, raising tigers will become a threat, and if you want to kill tigers, it will not be achieved overnight.

I just don't know if the father now regrets colluding with Chen Shiqin back then, relying on the power of the internal officials to rise to power, and finally made the eunuch party's power overflow and out of control.

If you say you regret it, it's also not the style of your father; but if you say you don't regret it, seeing the dark clouds rolling in and the evil rain in front of you, it seems that you are too desperate to face the pain.

But in any case, this night is destined to be sleepless.

Jia Yu also didn't want to see Cao Min.

Cao Ge always came to him, nothing more than worrying that Chen Shiqin would force Qilang to take over the position, and at this time the second brother was far away in the southeast front, fearing that it would be irreversible.

What Cao Ge wanted was the power of his mother's family, the Wan family.

For the sake of the second brother, of course Jia Yu didn't mind asking his mother, grandfather and uncle to contribute. He just simply hated the group of ministers headed by Cao Min.

It's these people who, not long ago, were the ones who scolded the second brother in front of the father, desperately dragging their feet, and stumbling the second brother with problems.

When the second elder brother confronted Chen Shiqin, none of these people was willing to stand up and support them with a clear banner. They flashed ambiguous words and played a lot of officialdom, lest they accidentally become the first bird grabbed by the neck by the "Nine Thousand Years".

Now that Chen Shiqin was making progress, they became anxious and fearful again, most likely not because they were worried about the society of the world, or about the safety of His Royal Highness Prince Jing, but because they were afraid that they were on the wrong team and would lose their official career and wealth if they were defeated.

If you want to talk about why the father has been playing games with Chen Shiqin for so many years and still has no chance of winning, the "pillars" of this group of countries under his command really have a "contribution".

The night has long been dark, and the lights and trees are shining brightly, reflecting the young tired face.Jia Yu frowned unconsciously and clenched his teeth.

After all, Ge Lao is Ge Lao, and it is impossible to see him.

But before meeting Elder Cao Ge, he had to meet another person first.

It has been an hour since Xiao Hengwu quietly left the house, why did he come back so slowly?

Jia Yu anxiously stared at the lights outside the window.

Suddenly, he heard some very light footsteps.

Jia Yu immediately straightened up, almost unable to sit still.

In an instant, Xiao Hengwu's face hidden under the hood finally turned from the darkness.

Sweat was still on her forehead, and she didn't even have time to take off her hat, so she hurriedly said to Jia Yu: "The outside of Prince Jing's mansion is full of people from Dongchang, and they can't get in."

Jia Yu felt her cheeks swell when she heard the words, and her eye sockets turned red immediately.

Chen Shiqin really wanted to strike.

He had expected it, but he didn't expect that the old eunuch would suddenly attack.

Seeing that the battle on the southeast front line is imminent, it seems that after the second brother finished commanding the counties and capitals in Zhejiang, he took over Hu Jingcheng, the governor of Zhejiang Province.Hu Jingcheng formed an alliance with His Royal Highness Prince Jing, which meant to completely throw off those who wanted to place Eunuch Chen in the southeast.Chen Shiqin obviously lost interest in waiting for the results of the battle, he did not want to wait for His Royal Highness Prince Jing to make great achievements against the Japanese, but wanted to act first.

Since the second elder brother went south, not to mention Prince Jing's mansion, even Dongchang's eyeliner hanging around him has never been broken.

But stalking is just stalking after all, no matter how arrogant Dongchang is, he may not dare to do anything.

But now Chen Shiqin has the potential to force the palace.

If Mrs. Cui and Xiao Shizi were held hostage by Dongchang, they would be outright hostages, and it would be completely different from being left in Beijing by their father.

Hearing the news of Concubine Liu's death, Jia Yu immediately asked Xiao Hengwu to throw off the guards sent by Dongchang and rush to Prince Jing's Mansion, hoping to bring her here first.

Is it a step too late after all?

What if... what if he fails to save Cui Ying and Di'er...

Jia Yu couldn't imagine it.

It's not that he has much pity for the mother and son, he's just afraid that the second brother will blame him for this, and even more afraid that the second brother will be restrained and controlled by the enemy.

"In Prince Jing's mansion, what's the situation now, have you inquired carefully?"

Jia Yu took a deep breath several times before he managed to calm down his beating heart a little, then he gritted his teeth and asked Xiao Hengwu.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Hengwu's eyes flashed.

"Mrs. Cui and Xiao Shizi are no longer in the palace."

Jia Yu was taken aback when he heard the words, and in an instant, he felt his breath surging, and almost fell down with his eyes blacked out.
