Chapter 23

"Your Majesty, that's not the case. The concubine didn't push the empress, it was really the empress who fell down by herself."

Dong Lishu's explanation is very weak, but it is indeed the truth, but now that Youning is lying unconscious on the couch, who would believe that women in the harem would use their own children's lives to frame others?

In the harem, the mother is more expensive than the child, and the only way to prosper is to give birth to offspring.

Even Prime Minister Dong didn't quite believe Dong Lishu's words.

"Your Majesty, please spare her life."

Based on Xu Yanjin's love for You Ning, and You Ning lost her child, Xu Yanjin would definitely make the person who caused the incident pay with his life. Prime Minister Dong did not ask for anything else, as long as he could save Dong Lishu's life.

"Put it in the sky prison first, and make a decision after the queen wakes up."

After the imperial physicians completely aborted the fetus in Youning's abdomen, they prescribed a lot of tonics to help Youning regulate his body.

Youning has been in a coma for a long time. In her dream, there is a child beside her. The child looks very much like her and Xu Yanjin. The pink and jade carvings are so cute, but the child suddenly disappeared from her arms and turned into a The pool of blood, the blood stained Youning's clothes red, Youning was frightened and woke up.

"Your Majesty is having a nightmare?"

There was only Ping Wu by her side, it should be because Ping Wu was afraid that the palace people would disturb her rest, so she sent everyone out.

"What happened to me?"

"The empress had a miscarriage, and the child in her womb was not kept."

You Ning slapped Ping Wu after hearing this, her body was weak, and the slap was painless, "Ping Wu, I didn't expect you to be so scheming, even Ben Gong is you A pawn in the plan."

Ping Wu can fool others, but not Youning.

You Ning was not pushed down at all, she fell to the ground after having abdominal pain and then she couldn't stand up, and the cause of the abdominal pain should be the miscarriage, her body has always been good, it is impossible to have a miscarriage for no reason, the reason for this must be the same as ordinary Wu can't get rid of the relationship.

Ping Wu didn't hide anything, and admitted it openly.

"Your Majesty is smart, and this servant has ordered by His Majesty to add something to your Majesty's daily meals, so as to ensure that Your Majesty's skin is delicate and her favor will not fade."

The things in Ping Wu's mouth, if there are benefits, there are bound to be disadvantages. It is estimated that this child is also missing because of these things.

"Get out of this Palace."

She has nothing to do with Ping Wu. Ping Wu is the person arranged by the Emperor of Chu to be by her side. Everything she does is arranged by the Emperor of Chu. You Ning is also a chess piece, how can she disobey the intention of the chess player.

Ping Wu backed out and told Xu Yanjin that You Ning had woken up.

In the past few days, Xu Yanjin has also been haggard a lot, the child is gone, You Ning is heartbroken, but Xu Yanjin's heartache is probably more than that of You Ning.

When Xu Yanjin came to the bed, he took Youning into his arms, "Ningning, I'm sorry for you"

All of You Ning's previous suspicions were justified, and now that it really came true, others will never know how terrifying this harem woman will be.

"Your Majesty, it's useless to be a concubine, you can't keep a child."

You Ningwo cried out in Xu Yanjin's arms, unlike the previous pretending, this time she really wanted to cry, she could be cruel to outsiders, but she couldn't be so ruthless to her relatives.

"I have already sent Dong Lishu to prison, and I will definitely let her pay for our child's life."

"No, Your Majesty, Dong Guiren is Chengxiang Dong's beloved granddaughter. If she is given to death, Chengxiang Dong will definitely feel resentful. He is an old minister trusted by the late emperor. Although he has no talent, he is the only important minister in the court to look after him. Your Majesty. Think twice, you can't offend all the ministers."

You Ning seems to be pleading, but in fact, he revealed the three crimes of Chengxiang Dong - relying on the old to sell the old, incompetent, forming a party for personal gain, and there is a high possibility of rebellion in the future.

Pingwu's secret plot helped Youning overthrow Prime Minister Dong, whom Xu Yanjin valued most.

"I will find a way to deal with this matter. You don't have to worry. I will definitely give you and our children an explanation."

Xu Yanjin wanted to kill Dong Lishu, but Prime Minister Dong was in that position, and he was not easy to touch Dong Lishu. The Dong family had many disciples, and a little carelessness would cause chaos, so Xu Yanjin could only take a step back.

An imperial decree first abolished Dong Lishu's title, leaving her life behind, but the Dong family would be implicated in this, and all members of the Dong family would be dismissed from office, and the Dong family would be an ordinary family from now on. The face of the ancestors who have been loyal to Xu Guo for many years.

Prime Minister Dong has been abolished, all officials have no head, and the government can no longer be reviewed by Prime Minister Dong as before. All memorials need to be reviewed by Xu Yanjin himself. He has no talent for governing the country, and the courtiers who made several decisions are dissatisfied, but No one dared to say anything, and he could only do as he wanted.

The national treasury was in short supply, so Xu Yanjin increased taxes, and the people were miserable. Some people in counties and counties wrote letters to object, but could not get the slightest understanding. In the end, they could only besiege the government, which was regarded as treason, and they were all executed. The construction of border military defense was something that the courtiers had been discussing before. Xu Yanjin did not object, but also recruited young civilian men to build military defenses on the border. Countless families were forced to separate, and all the young men in the family were taken away. The remaining old, weak, women and children were unable to cultivate, and the cultivated land was barren and grainless. Collect and be unable to pay high rent taxes.
Xu Yanjin was busy with government affairs, during the month of Youning's recuperation, he saw Xu Yanjin very few times, but the government affairs were handled in a mess by Xu Yanjin.

Ping Wu told You Ning all the things outside, isn't the current situation exactly what they want to see?
"Is it possible to close the net?"

Qi Youning is a little tired, after helping the Emperor of Chu, she can finally be liberated.

"My servant has reported everything to His Majesty a long time ago. Your Majesty still needs one last thing. As long as you get that last thing, your mission will be completely over."

"what?"

You Ning felt that this last thing was definitely not something that could be easily obtained, but in order to end all this, no matter what it was, You Ning had to find a way.

"A map of troop deployment."

The emperor of Chu State just wanted to annex Xu State at the lowest cost. If they could get Xu State's military deployment map, then their chances of winning would be great.

"where?"

"The servant feels that it should be in the imperial study."

Ping Wu was not idle in the palace every day, and would often search everywhere in the palace at midnight, just to find these things, but she searched the palace quickly, but she couldn't find the most important military defense The picture, she guessed it would be in the imperial study, if so, probably only You Ning could find a way to get it.

"Today, Your Majesty sent a letter to ask your servant to tell your empress that Prime Minister Qi and Mrs. Qi are fine, and that Prime Minister Qi intends to resign and return to his hometown. How His Majesty decides will depend on your performance, Your Majesty."
