Only seven days left to live? She goes crazy and kills

Yuan Ziying thought for a moment and suggested: "You can seal off the palace first and start investigating from the harem. If there is nothing in the harem, then investigate outside the palace."

The queen narrowed her eyes: "Why are you helping me so much?"

If we say that doctors are kind-hearted, it is understandable that she is willing to save the prince, but does she know how much turmoil it will cause if she investigates witchcraft?

Yuan Ziying said seriously: "The prince is the crown prince of a country, and it concerns the country. The emperor is critically ill. If something happens to the prince again, it will only cause greater turmoil. Maybe there will be conspirators who take the opportunity to usurp the throne, causing the prince and the princes to kill each other, and more innocent people will be implicated."

The queen narrowed her eyes slightly, although she knew that what she said made sense.

After all, if the prince's poison is not cured, once the emperor dies, the two princes outside-not to mention the weak eldest prince, Lu Mingxuan will never miss this desperate opportunity.

But Yuan Ziying's words still made her doubtful.

Perhaps it has become a normal state for people in high positions to be suspicious, so the queen was sensitive to the fact that Yuan Ziying was not a simple doctor.

A doctor who was only responsible for saving people could not and dared not discuss the affairs of the palace casually, let alone the royal family.

But when she said the story of the prince and the prince killing each other, it was so calm, as if she had no scruples at all.

The queen's eyes were slightly deep, and she nodded calmly: "I will send someone to investigate, you take care of the prince here."

The queen went out and ordered someone to summon the commander of the imperial guards to see her. The two had a secret conversation for about an incense stick of time. The imperial guards completely blocked the palace. No one outside was allowed to come in, and no one in the palace was allowed to go out.

The queen took all the eunuchs and palace maids of Fengyi Palace, accompanied by 20 imperial guards, and began to search each palace one by one, trying to find the culprit behind the witchcraft.

For a while, the people in the harem were panicked and everyone was in danger.

After the emperor was critically ill, the palace had long been controlled by the queen and her son. The concubines in the harem were trembling with fear and dared not be angry or speak. They only hoped that the queen would be able to see clearly and not wrongly accuse innocent people.

Yuan Ziying knew that she had been kept in the prince's palace, and the rows of guards outside were prepared for her.

The queen did not allow her to leave the East Palace.

It just so happened that she did not want to leave.

The queen searched the harem closely. Outside the palace, in Prince Duan's mansion, Lu Mingxuan was anxious because General Gong was poisoned and the pain was out of control again.

He sent someone to the palace to invite Yuan Ziying. After his men went and came back, they reported that the palace gate had been blocked and no one could enter, and people in the palace could not leave.

Lu Mingxuan was furious. Seeing that Gong Liancheng's condition was getting worse and worse, he had to ask the doctors in the imperial city to see him first. But as expected, no matter how many doctors were invited, no one knew what was going on with General Gong's condition.

Perhaps even if someone really saw something, they dared not say it.

With nothing to do, Lu Mingxuan was determined to go all out.

He took some guards with him, took Gong Liancheng's token and left the city, and rushed to the military camp at full speed, telling them that the queen had launched a palace coup, blocked the palace, and General Gong was poisoned and in danger.

As long as the prince succeeded to the throne, the queen would definitely deal with the generals under General Gong, and they had to enter the palace to clear the court and protect the emperor.

Although he was in the name of clearing the court, the soldiers in the army knew that this was a rebellion. After half an hour, only a few low-ranking generals stood up.

Most people still didn't dare to take risks, especially when the general was not there, they couldn't even tell whether what Prince Duan said was true or false.

Lu Mingxuan ordered these generals to count the number of people willing to follow him into the palace, and found that there were only more than 8,000 people.

Lu Mingxuan's face was very gloomy.

If it were normal, it would be impossible to break into the palace with only 8,000 people, and he didn't have that much confidence and courage.

But the situation tonight was special.

If Gong Liancheng were to have any misfortune, he, the Prince of Duan, would be dead without a burial place, so he had to go all out.

Lu Mingxuan gathered his men and marched into the city, but was intercepted at the city gate. Lu Mingxuan coldly ordered to kill all those who blocked the way, and the palace coup officially began.

When the dark curtain fell, the queen returned to the East Palace without any gains. Seeing that her son was still lying in bed, he really had no symptoms of poisoning, and she was relieved.

However, soon, a flustered sound of footsteps sounded.

"Queen!" A guard came hurriedly and knelt down to report, "Prince of Duan led his troops to attack the city!"

What?

The queen's face suddenly changed, and she was furious: "Is Prince Duan going to rebel?"

Yuan Ziying was so scared that her face turned pale: "This... Is it going to be a war?"

The queen turned her head and looked at her, and asked angrily: "Didn't you say that Gong Liancheng was poisoned, how could he still mobilize troops?"

Yuan Ziying said hesitantly: "He was indeed poisoned, I saw it with my own eyes, it can't be false."

The guard replied: "Queen, the person leading the troops is His Royal Highness Prince Duan, and he only mobilized less than 10,000 people."

The queen gritted her teeth coldly: "Prince Duan is ambitious, is he going to go all out and take advantage of the prince's poisoning to seize power? Gong Liancheng is about to die, and he can actually persuade the soldiers in the barracks to rebel with him, it's really amazing!"

But with less than 10,000 troops, nothing can be accomplished.

The Queen made a prompt decision: "Tell the Royal Guards to guard the palace gates and the archers to be ready. There will be a fierce battle tonight."

"Yes."

The Queen turned to look at Yuan Ziying. Seeing that she was too frightened and didn't look like a disguise, she couldn't help but wonder in her heart, is she really so timid?

"All the concubines in the harem have been interrogated, and no witchcraft has been found." The queen stared at Yuan Ziying with a thoughtful look, "Perhaps the culprit behind the scenes is Prince Duan, and he plotted against Gong Liancheng just to have a reason to mobilize troops."

Think about it, the first general of Beiliang was poisoned and murdered, and the queen also sealed the palace and did not allow doctors to detoxify and treat General Gong. Isn't this a good excuse?

As long as Lu Mingxuan used the excuse of clearing the court of emperors, and added some exaggerations, saying that the prince would settle accounts with the remnants of General Gong after ascending the throne, how could the soldiers in the barracks who followed Gong Liancheng to defend their country and their lives not be chilled?

And Lu Mingxuan had a legitimate reason to mobilize troops, and the soldiers would not even blame his ambition, even if they knew that he wanted to use this to rebel, but because General Gong was plotted against, their hatred for the prince would turn into loyalty to Lu Mingxuan.

At this moment, the queen deeply felt the horror of the conspiracy, but it seemed that she had expected it, so her shock and anger were very short.

She quickly ordered someone to report the news of Prince Duan's coup to the emperor.

The coup came suddenly and so swiftly.

When the emperor got the news, he was shocked and sat up from the bed, his face pale: "What did you say?"

"Prince Duan launched a coup."

The emperor was shocked and angry, just want to know what happened, Prince Duan was fine, why did he suddenly launch a coup?

"I heard that the queen ordered the closure of the palace and investigated witchcraft in the harem, but General Gong was seriously poisoned, and wanted to ask Miss Yuan to detoxify the general. The people sent could not enter the palace and could not see Miss Yuan. Prince Duan was furious and went out of the city in person to mobilize troops from the military camp in the suburbs."

The emperor was stunned and could not believe that things would develop like this.

He heard it like a fairy tale.

Just because the general was poisoned, Prince Duan could not see the doctor who could detoxify, so he mobilized troops to rebel in anger?

No, the cause of the incident should be the blockade of the palace.

Is Prince Duan worried that after the crown prince has detoxified, Gong Liancheng will die of the poison, and he will have no choice but to sit and wait for death?
