   Chapter 618 Poison Hair (2)

  In the bedroom of Emperor Yongjia, the mourning cry of Empress Dowager Zhao was heard again.

   Queen Qiao lost her previous composure and stood beside the dragon couch with a pale face. She looked at Emperor Yongjia, whose face was as white as paper, full of surprise in her heart.

  Why did Li Chang suddenly die of poisoning?

   Who is the murderer?

   Not to mention others, even she felt that this matter should have something to do with herself.

   But no matter how annoyed or hated she was, she didn't do this poisonous trick. So, who did it? This basin of dirty water was splashed on her body.

   is simply full of grievances and speechless.

   Concubine Meng and Concubine Qin wiped away her tears and looked at her with complicated and subtle eyes from time to time. It was obvious that he was suspicious of her.

   What about Emperor Yongjia?

   What will he think when he wakes up?

   Time slipped by little by little, Queen Qiao's whole body became colder and colder, and her palms were full of cold sweat.

   Eunuch Liu came in quietly and said in a low voice, "Empress Empress, Master Yao entered the palace to plead guilty, and the servants have led Master Yao to the side hall. Master Yao insisted on kneeling, but the servants could not persuade him."

   Queen Qiao was in a state of turmoil, so she couldn't care about Yao Shangshu: "If he wants to kneel, he can kneel! Wait until the emperor wakes up before making a decision."

  Only relying on Yao Shangshu to go to the ancestral mansion Li Chang and died of poisoning, Yao Shangshu is not wronged when he kneels and pleads guilty.

   After a while, Eunuch Liu came to report again: "His Royal Highness and Fourth Highness are here."

Queen Qiao reflexively opened her mouth and said, "The emperor is unconscious and should not be disturbed. Let them wait outside..." Before she could finish her sentence, Concubine Meng glared at her angrily: "The emperor looks like this at this time. , why not let the princes stay by the side?"

   Concubine Qin wiped her eyes hard, and choked up, "That's right. If something goes wrong, I can also tell my sons a few words..."

Before Concubine Qin could finish her words, Empress Dowager Zhao scolded her back angrily: "Bah! If you dare to chew your tongue again, I will tear your mouth apart. The emperor was just agitated and his blood surged, and he fainted for a while. Will wake up. What can happen!"

   Concubine Qin was in a hurry and was scolded by the Queen Mother. She was both ashamed and regretful. She hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty.

   Empress Dowager Zhao was full of sons, she was not in the mood to pay attention to Concubine Qin at all, and quickly turned back. Seeing that Emperor Yongjia's face was pale and unresponsive, Empress Dowager Zhao seemed to have had her heart gouged out, and she burst into tears again.

  Dense beads of sweat appeared on the foreheads of the Zhou Yuan envoy and several imperial physicians. However, none of them dared to say anything like shutting up the queen mother.

  If Emperor Yongjia is really good or bad, they don't even want to walk out of Wenhua Palace alive.

On the    side, Concubine Meng insisted that the eldest prince and the fourth prince come in.

Queen Qiao changed her usual gentle approach, and her tone was very firm: "Your Majesty is at a critical juncture, and the imperial physicians must be dedicated to saving people. Not to mention the eldest prince and the fourth prince, even Ben Gong and the two of you should withdraw and guard. ."

   As for Empress Dowager Zhao, no one could persuade her. Queen Qiao simply did not even persuade her, but only ordered Concubine Meng and Concubine Qin to leave the dormitory with herself.

   Concubine Qin had no choice but to take orders to get up.

   Concubine Meng was so angry that she blurted out: "The emperor is unconscious, and the empress is showing off her power at this time!"

   "As you think." Queen Qiao said coldly: "Now, this palace orders you to withdraw."

   Concubine Meng gritted her silver teeth, and together with Concubine Qin, followed Queen Qiao out of the dormitory and went to the inner hall.

   The eldest prince and the fourth prince all waited in the inner hall with ugly expressions.

As soon as    Queen Qiao and others showed up, the eldest prince and the fourth prince couldn't wait to greet them.

   "Mother concubine!" In a hurry, the first prince moved much faster than usual, and grabbed Concubine Meng's hand: "Why did the fifth brother suddenly die of poison? How is the father now?"

Concubine Meng was so upset, she gritted her teeth and whispered: "This happened suddenly, and I don't know what's going on inside. The Zhou Yuan envoys they are administering first aid to your father, and I just hope that your father will wake up sooner. ."

   The fourth prince lost the slightest smile on his face, walked quickly to Concubine Qin's side, and called out to Concubine Qin in a low voice.

   When Concubine Qin saw the fourth prince, she seemed to have seen the backbone, she rested her head on her son's shoulder, and wept bitterly.

   Queen Qiao silently glanced at the two pairs of mother and son, thinking of Li Jing, who was far away in Jiangnan, eagerly. In the face of such a shocking change, I have to have my son by my side.

   She was alone, and she was very anxious and uncomfortable.

  …

   In such a tormented mood, time passed very slowly.

   "Grandmother!"

   Several figures of different heights appeared at the door. The leading boy, who was only seven or eight years old, was calm, precocious and sensible. far better than boys of the same age.

   is Li Jue.

   Li Tang and Li Chen also came. There is also Li Xuan, Li Zhen and the little princess, and Li Xuan is still holding the young Li Yan in his hands.

   Several of them were originally in the study room, and they were shocked to hear the bad news of the death of the fifth prince. How could they read books. After a short summation, they came to the Wenhua Hall under the leadership of Li Jue.

   "Emperor grandmother," Li Jue walked quickly to Queen Qiao's side, his black eyes full of concern: "How is the emperor grandfather now?"

  Queen Qiao exhaled forcefully and squeezed out a smile that was even more ugly than crying: "Don't worry about all of you. Your grandfather will wake up soon."

  People who have suffered a stroke are most taboo emotionally ups and downs.

   It wasn't long before he rested, and Emperor Yongjia fell unconscious again due to the news of Li Chang's death. Where is this a good sign?

   The eldest prince and the fourth prince were full of heavy hearts. However, no one will expose Queen Qiao at this time. Silently listening to Queen Qiao's gentle words to appease the granddaughters of the emperor's grandson.

   When Princess Hui'an and Princess Jing'an rushed into the palace after hearing the news, the inner hall was almost full.

   Soon, Qiao Ge Lao and others also entered the palace to face the saint.

   Emperor Yongjia hasn't woken up yet, so no one can see him. A group of civil servants had to wait in the side hall.

  The unfortunate Yao Shangshu was still kneeling there.

  Qiao Ge's old brows became Sichuan characters, and his heart was very heavy.

  Li Chang suddenly died of poisoning, and Yao Shangshu, the king of Dongping County, could not get rid of it. The biggest suspects were Queen Qiao and the Crown Prince.

  When Emperor Yongjia woke up, he didn't know what would happen to the monstrous waves!

   Two hours later, Emperor Yongjia finally woke up.

   Empress Dowager Zhao was hoarse from crying. Seeing Emperor Yongjia open her eyes, Empress Dowager Zhao was ecstatic and shouted in a hoarse voice, "A Yuan, you are awake!"

  Emperor Yongjia's eyes were red.

   seems to have been stained with blood, flashing with anger and pain.

   I could only talk intermittently before, but this time I was probably stimulated by the news of Li Chang's death, and my speech was much smoother: "Mother, I'm fine."

   His body still couldn't move, but Emperor Yongjia was extraordinarily clear-headed. The speed of speech was slow and clear: "Eunuch Liu, pass on my oral order, and Queen Xuan will meet you."
