Light Red Northern Song

Chapter 30 The Dust Will Settle

In the emperor's bedroom, more than a dozen imperial doctors rushed to pass on medicine and exchange diagnosis and treatment with each other.The members of the royal family were all separated around Longta, the left and right prime ministers, Lord Dazaimen, Lord Taiwei Chang, Lord Yushiling Liu and other important officials were also listed among them, and the rest of the ministers were all guarded outside the hall.

"It is absolutely impossible for the father to be harmed by Daoist Deng Ji. There must be a misunderstanding! I will check it out carefully, come!" Qi Zhizheng just raised his hand, and before he could finish speaking, he heard someone beside him interjected. Word.

"What does the emperor mean? What the emperor saw with his own eyes yesterday can be true? If the emperor and the adults have any doubts, why not test the elixir presented by the demon yesterday." Qi Zhiyu sneered, his eyes widened. Moved from Qi Zhitong's face to the silent minister beside him.

The ministers who have watched the situation from the altar all the way to this point have already understood it in their hearts.Originally at the Dharma altar, only a few of the guards were the emperor's personal guards, and the rest were either guards from the royal guard battalion or guards brought into the imperial city by Qi Yongyao.Who doesn't know that the current guard camp is full of Xie Yuan's people?Who can't see that His Royal Highness King Yong is not with the emperor at all?

Everyone is well aware of the physical condition of His Majesty the Emperor, and now that the matter has come to this point, all the officials inside and outside the dormitory are weighing things up.To come forward or to remain silent?Among the several important ministers in the hall, there were Chu Shanyi's henchmen, although they were also loyal to Qi Youhui, but they couldn't make up their minds for the time being.Choosing the former is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. After all, that His Majesty is still lying unconscious on the couch, without a soldier amulet in hand, who can easily mobilize soldiers from outside the imperial city to serve the king?They had no choice but to stand still for the time being and not make a statement.

"What the second prince said makes sense, it doesn't matter to test the elixir first." Yong Wang Qi Yongyao finally spoke.

"This! Uncle Emperor..." Qi Zhitong stared at the other party with trembling lips, but didn't know what to say next.

At this moment, there was a moment of commotion among the officials outside the palace.Everyone in the hall looked towards the door, and it turned out that the Empress Empress came here surrounded by Xie Yuan and others.

"How is the emperor?" Chu Shanyi asked directly in the inner hall.

"Master Du, why don't you reply to the empress's words?" Qi Yongyao said sharply, squinting at one of the imperial doctors.

"Reporting to the Empress, Your Majesty has indeed been poisoned by the elixir. The current situation is not too bad, and the officials and all the lords have carefully studied it before we can..." Lord Du stopped talking in a timely manner.

"Well," Chu Shanyi did not approach the emperor's dragon couch, but lowered his eyes and walked towards the couch on the east side of the inner hall.After she sat down, she glanced around the crowd calmly and said: "Staying here is not good for the emperor's condition, just leave the imperial doctor behind. His Royal Highness King Yong, now that the emperor is like this, I'm afraid the court needs your troubles. "

"Empress, don't worry, I believe that the emperor will get better in a few days. The matter in the court still needs to be taken care of by the empress, and I will try my best to assist you." Qi Yongyao lowered his head and responded.

At this moment, who would care about how Chu Shanyi, who was originally under house arrest in Shangxuan Palace, came out, and how he won over King Yong?Everyone seemed to acquiesce to this result, and exited one by one.

After the ministers went out, Qi Zhixun, who had been ashen-faced, and Qi Mingxun, who was frowning tightly, also stepped out of the palace gate, followed by Gan Chuankai and Qi Mingshuo.An Ning finished watching the play silently, followed Qi Mingyi, Qi Zhiyu and others slowly out of the bedroom.

"Little Huangmei, Huangjie will go back to Jinyun Palace with you." Qi Mingyi said as soon as they came out.

"Okay."

"The two imperial sisters, the imperial brother still has important matters, so we will not go." Qi Zhiyu said.

"Brother, go and get busy."

An Ning looked at Qi Zhiyu's back for a long time without looking away, and the palace servants behind her were a little away from her and Qi Mingyi.Qi Mingyi looked at An Ning's side face and suddenly laughed.

"Why is Miss Huang laughing?" An Ning turned her head strangely and asked.

"My Royal Sister, why are you staring at Brother Second?" Qi Mingyi asked with his head tilted, and his smile became even more joyful.

"The emperor is still ill. It's unseemly for the emperor to be so happy." An Ning turned and walked towards the Jinyun Palace after speaking.

"Yeah, yeah, it's inappropriate. You are a big kid, Miss Huang, Miss Huang underestimated you." Qi Mingyi put away his smile in embarrassment and muttered dissatisfiedly.

An Ning looked back at the palace people behind him, and asked in a low voice, "Second Brother?"

"Second Brother Huang is an aboveboard man." Qi Mingyi replied concisely.

"Ah?" An Ning was a little puzzled, wondering why the other party would say such inexplicable words.

"Let's talk about it when we go back to Jinyun Palace, little imperial sister, from today onwards, they will be busy for a while." Qi Mingyi said seriously, looking ahead.

The two returned to Jinyun Palace, sent out all the palace people, and sat in the inner hall to drink tea.

"Little Huangmei, Huangjie will tell you a story. Second Huangxiong's biological mother, Mrs. Xiangjun." Qi Mingyi said, and then fell silent for a while as if thinking about how to speak.After a while, she said again: "Before my father came to the throne, he fought abroad for several years. At that time, he robbed Mrs. Xiangjun from the northern tribes and returned to Qi State. Later, Mrs. Xiangjun may be homesick, maybe It's because I'm not used to life in the Central Plains, maybe... Maybe it's because I don't love my father."

An Ning had a premonition that this would be a bad story, so she watched the other party and listened quietly.

"A lot of twists and turns happened in the middle. The queen heard what the mother, the second brother, and some loyal old palace people said later. Mrs. Xiangjun didn't want to stay in Qi, and on top of that, her father came to win the battle." I did something wrong in my mother's day, which made Mrs. Xiangjun dissatisfied. Later, one day, she suddenly suffered a sudden illness and died."

"The emperor seized the heir, and did something wrong?" An Ning was taken aback.

"Hehe, little imperial sister, you are too cunning!" Qi Mingyi was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said.

"The emperor did something wrong, Mrs. Xiangjun was dissatisfied, and then she died of a sudden illness?" An Ning was still surprised.

At this time, Qi Mingyi restrained his smile, looked at the other person's face carefully for a while, and said: "Mrs. Xiangjun is too upright, and she doesn't care about it. She doesn't understand the 'wait for time' that people in the Central Plains pay attention to. Lost her life. The queen mother also knew about it back then, she knew she couldn't follow Mrs. Xiangjun's old path, so she endured it until now. And the second emperor brother also endured the humiliation for many years."

"Second Sister, Younger Sister, I don't understand. If Brother Second Huang wants to avenge his mother, then what about Aunt Huang? For whom? Why did she come to this point? What about you, Sister Second Huang? Why are you?" He is your real father after all."

"Little Royal Sister, how can you not understand when you are in the royal family? The Queen Mother didn't want to treat the Royal Father like this. It's really because the two have different temperaments. The Royal Father is suspicious and vicious, and the Queen Mother has to protect herself. This is also a last resort."

"Ah..." An Ning exhaled slowly, and asked as if she had realized something: "Is it the often said that you can't help yourself?"

"That's right, I just can't help myself. You are really smart, little sister."

An Ning stood up, walked by the window, looked outside and said, "Second Sister Huang suddenly said so much today, just because she was worried that the Royal Sister would misunderstand Aunt Huang because of this matter." After she finished speaking, she turned around and looked at the other party. He also said: "You want to tell the imperial sister that the imperial aunt was forced, and it is definitely not because she has a heart of disobedience."

"Hehehe...Little Huangmei, Huangjie really wants to look at you with admiration. The queen mother values ​​you very much, she," Qi Mingyi also stood up, approached the other side and said, "She is very worried that you will misunderstand her to the court because of this. Unfaithful, unrighteous to the father; she will be misunderstood as a treacherous villain."

An Ning finally understood.No wonder Chu Shanyi didn't let himself know about many things before.It turned out that I was worried that I was still young and would misunderstand the other party's behavior unreasonably.

But she is not young, and she doesn't have the concept of "loyalty to the emperor".She understands that the world is not as simple as black and white, she just doesn't want people around her to be hurt, that's all.

"It's hard for the emperor's aunt to take care of me at such a critical juncture."

"Why do you say these stupid things? The queen mother didn't intend to hurt innocent people. Besides, we are a family. The queen mother cherishes the second emperor brother and has protected him several times over the years. Therefore, his heart has always been towards the queen mother." .”

"Then, the emperor?"

Qi Mingyi closed his eyes and said: "The queen mother will not hurt his life. It is just that after he is cured, he will be temporarily placed under house arrest. The rest of the matter will be taken care of by the queen mother and the emperor's uncle, and the emperor's sister is not very clear."

"Why King Yong...?"

"This is due to the fact that my mother is kind by nature. I did good deeds at the beginning, and now it is rewarded with good deeds."

"Good deed?"

"You will know in the future, but the dust has not settled yet, so it is inconvenient to say clearly."

"The eldest prince and the others..." An Ning paused, she actually wanted to ask Qi Mingxuan about his future fate.

"The queen mother will not hurt their lives. The imperial uncle's soldiers and guards in the west of the city entered the imperial city yesterday. After everything is settled, you will understand some things."

On the other side of the palace, Qi Zhitong stood in front of the palace gate and looked at the soldiers and guards coming and going. He tried his best to control his emotions and said, "Look, imperial sister, you have come to replace people in my palace so quickly. I thought Although this matter is hasty, as long as we act according to the plan, we will definitely defeat that Chu Shanyi. But now..."

Qi Mingxuan sat in the hall, lowered his head and frowned in silence.

"Hmph! There has been no news from the soldiers stationed at Li Cangshan for a long time, and that stupid Qiao Lei was caught again at this time. If it weren't for the situation, the father would not be so anxious and messed up. I thought Make a quick decision, join her first, and use the book of heaven to prove her crime today, and then slowly eliminate her remnants. Now it's better to let this woman strike first! Hahaha! Yes, who would have thought that Qi Yongyao would actually kill her? It would be so shameless! It's not true! What's annoying is that father, that useless one, doesn't know whether to live or die tonight." Qi Zhitong gradually lost control of his emotions, and cursed with a loud laugh.

"In the past, the imperial sister was clever. Ever since that Chu Zhenyu came, everything has changed. You have also changed, imperial sister! You even talked nonsense to me last night! Thinking about it now, it's just a joke!" Qi Zhiyong suddenly turned around. Turning around, he stared at the other party and said.

Qi Mingxuan finally raised her head, and the person in front of her at this moment could not be described as "stern".

"That day outside the city, why did you save her?" Qi Zhitong walked over slowly and asked.

"Why don't you talk?" Seeing the other party's silence, he approached the other party and asked again.

"Didn't the emperor say that he didn't have a role to participate in before? The assassins were merciless in their actions that day, and they also tried to persuade the emperor's sister." He had already asked the other party's question many times.Qi Mingxuan really didn't know how to answer, so he had to change the subject again.

"Hmph! Younger sister, you are very skilled in martial arts, I'm afraid it will not be easy to kill you. As for the assassination, I have made it very clear before, and I have no part in it." Qi Zhitong said loudly.

"Oh? Then, the imperial sister can probably know who did it." Qi Mingxuan didn't want to stay here for a moment, she brushed the other party's body and walked out of the palace door and said: "Brother Huang, don't bother with the past anymore. How to save life is the first priority."

"Crack!" Qi Zhitong threw the teacup on the table viciously on the ground, and some fragments rolled out of the palace gate.He shouted at the back of the other party: "If I die soon, where can you escape to!"
