On the wedding night, the substitute princess cured the war king's poison

"Cooperate with us to deal with the temptations of the courtiers."

Taoist Dongming said: "Today I will go to court for you. Some ministers have discovered that I am different from you, so they will send people to test you. Now you go back to Yangxin Hall to pretend to be ill. If anyone asks, you must not reveal the reason, otherwise I will let you know." This poison will eat your heart and lungs, and you won't be able to survive for even half a moment."

Wu Ling added: "We have already fed worms to several of your princes and princesses, including the deposed queen in the cold palace. If you don't want to live, they won't have a chance to live either."

Hearing this, Xiao Huai was devastated. He didn't expect that his children and Xie Yuan would be affected by his carelessness.

The person he felt most ashamed of since he woke up was his cousin Xie Yuan. Although she had a spoiled temper, she truly loved him.

Little did he know that he fell in love with her by mistake, so he personally deposed Xie Yuan from the throne and made a venomous woman the queen.

"Ms. Liu, I treat you well and go against all odds to make you queen. Why are you so ruthless and unjust?"

"Oh, I have never taken a liking to you, where is the friendship?" Wu Ling deliberately kissed Taoist Dongming: "This is my childhood sweetheart. We have known each other since we were five years old."

"We are both spies from the Dongwu Kingdom. We have been trained together since childhood and were punished together. He healed my wounds and refined elixirs for me. Before entering the palace, we committed ourselves physically and mentally."

Hearing this, Xiao Huai was so angry that he fainted.

He thought Mrs. Liu was innocent and was handed over to him, but he didn't expect it was...

What's more, he is a spy from another country.

If you lure a wolf into your house, how will you be able to meet your ancestors in the future?

Taoist priest Dongming cast a spell, and Xiao Huai woke up, letting the queen take him back to Yangxin Hall like a puppet.

Zuixian Pavilion.

For the first time, dozens of ministers of rank four and above came at the same time.

"Shopkeeper, we want to reserve the venue."

"Hey, okay, sir, please take a seat."

Now that Qi Hu is the shopkeeper, he sees that these officials don't look like they are looking for trouble, so he takes it calmly.

The regent and princess have given instructions that even dignitaries who come to eat here will be treated as customers and there is no need to perform any kowtows.

So he only led the waiters to bow slightly to greet the guests.

I thought to myself, so many people came to eat just after the court, and it wasn't even meal time yet. Isn't it too unprofessional?

The officials went to the private room upstairs and ordered a few dishes.

The Taifu couldn't bear it the most:

"The Holy Emperor's words and deeds today are very different from those in the past. I guess it is because others are disguising him."

When Xiao Huai was still the prince, he was personally taught by the tutor and they had known each other for many years, so it was easy to tell that this was a fake.

After Xiao Huai ascended the throne, the Prime Minister assisted the government and had many contacts with him in private. Tian continued:

"The lower official also feels that the person attending court today is not the emperor himself, not to mention that your lords have also tried to test him with words."

"I just don't know what the reason is."

He looked at the Minister of Dali Temple, Zuo Yushi of the Duchayuan, and the Minister of Punishment.

"You three are all investigating the case, can you find a way to crack it?"

Among these three people, the Minister of Punishment is the leader of the regent faction.

"I think it's better not to alert the enemy, but let the imperial guards investigate the inside story first," said the Dali Temple minister.

"No, if the imperial guards had discovered it earlier, they wouldn't have let the fake one go to court." Zuo Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

"How about asking the regent to return to Beijing?" Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment suggested.

Hearing this, a few people were reluctant. They had been assisting Xiao Huai. Now the regent's achievements were so great that everyone knew that if he came back to seize the imperial power, they officials might be replaced.

Sure enough, Taifu was the first to disagree and said: "Although Northern Xinjiang has been pacified, we still have to beware of soldiers robbing homes and houses in winter. Only when the regent guards Northern Xinjiang can the people of Northern Xinjiang live and work in peace and contentment."

The Minister of Household Affairs had previously seized grain and grass for disaster relief in Northern Xinjiang, and was afraid that the regent would return to Beijing to question him.

"Then there is nothing I can do about it." Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment was ready to kill him.

You know that they have a small calculation, they want the regent to help but don't want him to come back.

Several other officials from the Regent faction were also silent.

The Taifu frowned deeply. The Emperor was the Supreme Ninth Five-Year Plan, and it was not appropriate for the Third Division to investigate in person. Besides, if this was a joke by the Emperor, it might shock the government and the public and lose prestige.

If the real emperor was plotted against, he would be worried about alerting the mastermind behind the scenes and kill him in a desperate attempt to kill him.

"General Commander Ling should have a way to arrange for people to investigate the matter clearly." Prime Minister Cao suggested: "It is better to let the Imperial Guard investigate secretly."

"Or, let the queen test it. The emperor and the empress have known each other for many years and have a deep love for each other. They will definitely be able to distinguish the true from the false and find out the truth."

"Yes." Several ministers agreed.

The Taifu caressed his beard and said: "It is better to arrange for Shen Yuan to diagnose the emperor's pulse first and test the reaction of everyone around the emperor, and then discuss strategies with the queen."

The Minister of Punishment sneered in his heart, a bunch of pedantic people, but they didn't know that the queen was the mastermind.

But he didn't say.

These people would not ask the regent to return to Beijing unless they hit the southern wall.

The regent didn't want to fight to seize power, so it was best to convince the public through Zen.

When the emperor's cronies got angry, they would naturally surrender to the regent and ask him to come back and take charge of the overall situation.

Therefore, these senior officials decided to let the imperial doctor and the queen conduct a trial investigation first.

I also believe that the regent’s ears and eyes must have spread to Northern Xinjiang about today’s discussion. If things don’t end well, the regent will definitely not stand idly by.

In the afternoon of that day, Yuan Shen brought three imperial doctors who took care of the emperor on a daily basis and invited him into the Yangxin Hall to diagnose the emperor's pulse.

At this time, Xiao Huai was lying on the dragon bed and looked very weak.

"I am not fit to go to court today. You can just give me some medicine to nourish my heart and calm my nerves."

"Yes, I will first diagnose the emperor's pulse and then prescribe a prescription."

Judge Shen and the three imperial doctors examined the emperor's pulse and observed his appearance at close range. They found no trace of disguise at all.

And the tone of his voice was the same as usual.

I'm afraid the suspicions of the ministers are groundless.

The queen asked with concern: "Can you tell what is wrong with the emperor?"

Xiao Huai thought about it, and just when he wanted to expose her, his heart ached like an insect biting him.

Quickly calm down your emotions and give up your thoughts.

"I'm afraid it's due to physical weakness caused by working on state affairs. Your Majesty, please take a rest while I go out to prepare the prescription."

Court judge Shen and the imperial doctor prepared a prescription and said goodbye.

When we arrived at the Imperial Hospital, there was already an Imperial Tutor waiting there to ask questions.

"how?"

"The Emperor is true, but..." Judge Shen took him to the inner room to talk.

"The emperor may have been poisoned by a poison. His pulse is the same as that of the previous emperor. I don't know if he has cultivated the poison himself or is being plotted by others."

When Taifu heard this, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

Thinking of the emperor asking the imperial master to learn immortality, I intuitively thought that he had followed the old emperor's path in order to seek immortality.

Isn't this a disaster for the country and the people?
