If the business woman does not help the poor, the villain's dream of prosperity will be shatter

Zhang Yun was suddenly speechless.

His eyes rolled around, and he suddenly jumped up, pointing at Qin Shu's nose and yelling, "You witch, even if I die, I will never serve in the same court with you! Serving in the same court with a woman is a great shame for our generation!"

As he said this, he lowered his head and crashed into the dragon pillar beside him.

Li Youlin, who was on duty nearby, was quick to rush over and hug Zhang Yun around the waist.

Qin Shu walked over and sighed, "Master Zhang, Master Zhang, you just rely on His Majesty's good temper and easy to talk to, and you dare to threaten His Majesty with death to make him compromise with you."

"If all the civil and military officials in the court are like you, always threatening to die, then who is the king? Who is the minister? Who listens to whom in the court?"

She pretended to go over to help Zhang Yun, quietly stuck a truth talisman on his sleeve, and asked, "Your Majesty just wants to give me a reward. The matter has not yet been concluded. Why are you so anxious to hit your head against the pillar and commit suicide? What are you thinking?"

Zhang Yun opened his mouth and said, "Of course, it was His Royal Highness Prince Ning who instructed me to do this. Your Highness is right, His Majesty is really old and confused, and he actually used a woman to participate in the affairs of state."

"As long as I can make His Majesty change his mind by bumping into the pillar, His Royal Highness Prince Ning will achieve his goal, and I can also gain a good reputation for speaking out and making suggestions until death."

"presumptuous!"

There was a roar in the court, and the emperor picked up a jade piece from the imperial desk and threw it down, "This bastard!"

All the courtiers in the hall knelt down one after another, "Your Majesty, please calm down."

The emperor was so angry that his face turned blue, he had difficulty breathing, and started coughing violently.

Li Dexian hurried forward and gently patted the emperor on the back, "Your Majesty, please calm down your anger and take care of yourself."

All the court officials followed suit and shouted, "Your Majesty, please take care of yourself."

The emperor pointed at Zhang Yun, who was shaking like a sieve, with trembling hands, and said forcefully while coughing, "Drag him out! Drag him out!"

The imperial guards on duty responded immediately with a roar, and stepped forward to drag Zhang Yun, who had collapsed into a puddle of mud, away.

The Emperor had always loved Prince Ning. Even though he knew that he had led the Ningzhou troops to the south of the capital, and even though he knew that Prince Ning had previously wanted to hold him hostage to "control the world", the Emperor simply found an excuse and confined Prince Ning.

Unexpectedly, he learned from his own ministers that his most beloved son called him "old and confused".

Even if he is not in the court, he still tries his best to control everything in the court.

Or maybe I doted on Prince Ning too much!

The more the emperor thought about it, the angrier and sadder he became, and he kept coughing.

Suddenly, a fishy and salty taste rushed up to the throat and spurted out with a "puff".

Before he fainted, the emperor heard Li Dexian's sharp voice, "Your Majesty?! Call the imperial physician quickly!"

The emperor fell ill and the grand court meeting was cancelled.

Prince Jin ordered his men to move the emperor to the East Warm Pavilion.

When the imperial doctors heard the news that the emperor was seriously ill, they were all heartbroken.

After taking the patient's pulse in turns, the imperial doctors gathered together to discuss the case.

Zhou Min saw from the inner hall that his father was sleeping soundly, so he quietly retreated.

He waved his hand, called the imperial physician over, and asked softly, "How is father's pulse?"

The emperor's pulse diagnosis is usually a secret that is not made public.

Anyone who leaks the emperor's pulse diagnosis will be punished as if he were attempting to assassinate the emperor.

The imperial physician was in a dilemma, and after hesitating for a long time, he said, "This, I still need to discuss it carefully with other imperial physicians..."

That's not very optimistic.

Zhou Min understood and patted the chief physician's shoulder gently, "Thank you for your hard work, Master Zhang."

After the imperial physician left, Zhou Min called his personal attendant Chang An over and whispered in his ear, "Find a reliable person to go to the Empress and tell her to keep the palace gates tightly closed. No one is allowed to enter or leave at will. Be careful inside and outside the palace and don't let anyone take advantage of any loopholes."

Chang An's expression started, and he quickly responded in a low voice.

Zhou Min thought for a moment and said, "Find a way to send a message back to the palace, so that the princess can also be on guard."

After Chang Anying withdrew, Zhou Min turned around a few times with his hands behind his back, and called out, "Li Dexian!"

Li Dexian hurriedly walked out of the inner hall, half bowed and stood in front of Zhou Min, and said respectfully: "What do you want, Your Highness?"

Zhou Min said: "Today, the court has not yet completed the discussion on the promotion of the cultivation of new grain in Jin. Father's old illness has relapsed, so this matter can only be temporarily suspended. You go to the front hall and arrange a room for Miss Qin, and let her stay in the palace temporarily until she is summoned. The rest of you can leave."

Li Dexian subconsciously looked up and looked at Zhou Min.

Zhou Min looked towards the inner hall with a worried look on his face.

Li Dexian's heart moved, and he asked in a low voice: "Well, your majesty is ill. According to the rules, foreign ministers are not allowed to stay in the palace without an imperial decree. I am worried that Miss Qin does not know the rules. Do you want to leave two people with Miss Qin to give her some advice?"

Zhou Min laughed, "Butler Li is really thoughtful. Let's do as he says."

In the Qingyuan Hall.

Looking at the majestic and solemn palace in front of her, Qin Shu felt a mixture of emotions.

Every family has rebellious sons.

The emperor is no exception.

Prince Ning suffered a complete defeat with this move, which was a bit like a desperate move.

When the emperor fell ill, the atmosphere in the court suddenly became too strange and deserted. Even the voices of the court officials became three degrees lower.

Every time there is a change in imperial power, there is always some risk of a coup.

Especially now that the position of Crown Prince is vacant, among the two princes of equal strength, Prince Ning has not completely lost, and Prince Jin has not really won either.

Maybe everything is calm one moment and earth-shaking the next.

As soon as Li Dexian, the general manager of Qingyuan Palace, appeared, several important court officials hurried to greet him.

Li Dexian looked solemn and sighed, "The emperor just fell asleep after taking the medicine. The imperial doctors are here, so you can rest assured. The emperor has ordered that Miss Qin Shu stay in the palace for the time being and wait for the summons. The others can leave the palace."

Qin Shu subconsciously looked at Fu Rong.

Without waiting for Fu Yan to come forward to speak, Li Dexian said to Qin Shu with a smile: "Miss, the emperor still has something to ask you about the promotion of new grain planting. Miss, don't worry, just stay here with peace of mind. We will arrange a place for you to stay later. If you need anything, just ask someone to come to our house."

At this point, Qin Shu had no choice but to obey the order.

Soon, a palace servant came to lead Qin Shu to stay in the side hall behind the east warm pavilion.

Li Dexian arranged four palace maids and two eunuchs to serve her, and ordered someone to go back to Qin's shop to get Qin Shu some replacement clothes and other necessary items.

In this way, Qin Shu had no excuse to leave the palace.

In the harem.

After hearing the report from the head maid Qingli, Consort Xian of Changning Palace immediately ordered, "Close the palace gates and tell them that I have been feeling tired and unwell lately, and that I am closed to visitors."

As soon as the palace gate was closed, Concubine Xiao immediately ordered Qingli to take people to search the palace thoroughly.

Not long after, Qingli came in hurriedly with a pale face. He almost tripped when he bowed to her.

The virtuous concubine knew that something was wrong and immediately asked everyone else in the hall to leave.

Qingli took out a doll from her sleeve, handed it to Concubine Xian, and said in a trembling voice: "My lady, this is what I found under the tree in the garden."

This puppet has the emperor's birth date written on it, and there is a two-inch long steel needle between the eyebrows and the heart.

Concubine Xian reached out and gently stroked the name on the doll.

After a while, he whispered, "Check thoroughly to see if there are any other puppets or prohibited items in our palace. Change the name and birth date on this puppet to that of our palace, and bury it as it was."

Qingli cried out in surprise, "My Lady!"

The virtuous concubine chuckled and said, "What are you afraid of? If this witchcraft is effective, why would the soldiers at the border fight? It's a waste of money and manpower! Just sew some puppets, write the birth date of the Northern Yi monarch on them, and sew them every day, isn't that enough?"

Qingli cried, "How can it be the same?"

Xian Fei stroked her temples and said leisurely, "How is it different? I don't believe this. Just do as I say. I think the one in Fengyi Palace should be unable to hold back. If you hesitate any longer, I'm afraid you will make trouble."

She didn't believe it, but the emperor did.

The art of witchcraft has always been hated by emperors. Although the method is crude, it is effective.

Qingli had no choice but to follow Concubine Xian's instructions, change the name and birthday, and bury the body as it was.
