Great Zhou Empress

Yelu Hongyi did find out some small characters, but he doesn't know how many of them were deliberately charged with crimes in order to consolidate his position.

Xiao Liege saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart.

The current Yelu Hongyi is her partner, and Yelu Hongyi's daughter is the future queen, so Xiao Liege can tolerate some of his behavior, so as to maintain a stable relationship between the royal family and the Yelu family.

But according to Yelu Hongyi's current way of doing things, in a few years, when the little emperor grows up or gets old, it is estimated that Yelu Hongyi will become the second Yelu Mengnan.

But that's all for the future. The power in the court has always been like this. As an emperor, it's like a hunter in the forest. The only thing you can do is to continuously increase your strength and polish With your own bow and arrow, no matter what appear in the forest is a soft rabbit, a swift leopard, or a black bear like a tower, you can defeat them.

Now we need to deal with Yelv Mengnan first.

Yelumengnan not only wanted her life, but also Xiaojing's life, it was unbearable.

The people in the royal court gradually discovered that since the Harvest Festival, their princess regent Xiao Liege began to live in seclusion. She had to see her courtiers almost every day, but now she almost disappeared as soon as she could. She knew how to deal with the documents, but it was very difficult. Hard to see people.

Such an unusual matter would naturally attract inquiries from many parties, but after inquiring, it was discovered that everyone around Xiao Liege had been given a gag order to prevent them from speaking.

What was even more unusual was that people from Wangzhang were secretly looking for doctors from various tribes, and some were even sent to Dacheng to invite divine doctors.

doctor?

This is an unusual signal.

Although Xiao Liege was the regent princess, she was actually the emperor of the Liao Kingdom during this period. Since ancient times, the health of the emperor has often affected the changes of the entire country.After all, a generation of emperors were seriously ill or passed away, which was a turbulent period of power change in the court.

But Xiao Liege wasn't completely invisible, so news spread that she seemed to be in a bad mood, she didn't talk much, her body posture was crooked, and what's more, she coughed until she couldn't stop.

Asked her, she said nothing.

This is even more worrisome, and the entire royal court is undercurrent.

The thing that made everyone's strings tense was that the little emperor came out and presided over a meeting of nobles.He is still a mascot now, and he only comes out and sits during important ceremonies, and he can't handle any important things at all.

The little emperor looked decent, but the words he said seemed to be memorized in the audience. He was very rigid, and his eyes were full of dodge and fear.

The nobles are all old men, or middle-aged men. Xiao Liege spent a long time before and did a lot of things to establish the ruling authority in their impressions. Now that the little emperor suddenly appeared, it was still that Such an immature appearance has to be worrying.

Could it be that Xiao Liege has a problem with his body and is preparing for his funeral.

After all, on the night of the Harvest Festival, there was a poisoning incident, and many ministers died.The greatest possibility is that Xiao Liege was also poisoned, but he has been receiving treatment, and maybe he is about to die now.

There were more and more inquiries from all parties, but Xiao Liege's guards in the king's tent seemed to be getting tighter and tighter.

In the end, some relatives of Xiao Liege's family who hadn't seen each other for a long time popped up and found various reasons to come to see her, including one of Xiao Liege's elder brother's wives. The woman who met Yelumeng Nanye at the North Sea.

The emperor of the Liao Kingdom had a queen with equal status, usually from the Yelu family. The queen was very powerful and had her own fiefdom and wealth.In addition, he can also have many wives from noble families, the amount and origin are not required, and most of their property comes from their own family and the emperor's reward.

In the early years, when the new emperor of the Liao Kingdom came to the throne, he could marry his father's wife other than his own mother and have children. However, in these years, the degree of Sinicization is relatively high, and it feels that this is inappropriate, and such things are rare. .

Aristocratic women in the Liao Kingdom had fiefdoms, property and high status, so when a generation of emperor died, his wives were almost equivalent to semi-free nobles.

But even so, Xiao Liege couldn't bear the matter between these sisters and Yelu Mengnan, and felt it was a betrayal of his brother, and felt disgusted.

So when she came, Xiao Liege didn't give her a good face.

The other party seemed to have been well moisturized recently, looking rosy and in good complexion.She knew that Princess Raging Fire had always had a bad temper. When the late emperor was still there, she would always smile politely when she saw Princess Raging Fire, and hardly said a few words.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Liege had a slightly arrogant tone, but he glanced at her.

The sisters kept in mind the tasks they had received, and wanted to find out if Xiao Liege was really seriously ill.

So she smiled flatteringly and asked, "No, I haven't come to see the princess for a long time. I heard that the princess is not feeling well recently. What's the matter?"

Xiao Liege seemed a little impatient, "It's nothing, I'm fine."

"But I see why your complexion is not very good~" As he said that, the man kept approaching, and when he got closer, he said, "Look, the dark circles under your eyes are so heavy, your face is so pale, and your lips are bloodless. Have you seen a doctor?" .”

"Where do I have so many problems as you said, ahem~"

As Xiao Liege said, he didn't know whether he was excited or coughed violently. The man wanted to come over to help her, but Xiao Liege blocked him.

Xue Zhijing hurried up beside her and brought her a glass of water, and gave her some comfort, and said in a panic, "I told you not to be emotional, and the doctor told you to rest!"

"Shut up!" Xiao Liege yelled angrily at Xue Zhijing, "Ahem~ Leave it alone~"

"But the doctor said, you must not get angry, or your internal organs will be damaged~" Xue Zhijing was a little anxious.

"To shut up!"

The sisters next to them listened to the conversation between the two and remembered it in their hearts. Their eyeballs rolled around, as if they were thinking about something.

Xiao Liege suddenly coughed more violently, Xue Zhijing hurriedly handed over a pinched white handkerchief, Xiao Liege covered his mouth and coughed for a while, the movement seemed to cough up his lungs.

Then, Xiao Liege took off the handkerchief, and suddenly saw bloody traces in the middle of the handkerchief.

Just in time, the sisters saw that touch of red.

Xiao Liege closed the handkerchief pretending to be anxious, calmed down, and said to the sisters, "I'm fine, you should go back quickly."

After this trip, the sisters found a doctor to come over to see Xiao Liege the next day.

Because of her status, Xiao Liege had no choice but to let her in, but he didn't treat the doctor she brought with him very well.

"Princess, let the doctor take a look. You vomited blood last time. I was really anxious when I saw it. How can I explain to the late emperor?"

Xiao Liege was so angry that he smashed the teacup, almost smashing the doctor.

The doctor ran out in fright, but the sisters only took two steps back, not daring to leave, Xiao Liege coughed again, and the female slaves frantically gave her a drink of water.

There was a lot of chaos.

But before leaving, the sisters saw a list of medicines on the table, so she took advantage of the confusion and put it in her pocket.

Soon, this list was placed on Yelv Mengnan's desk.

Yelu Mengnan finally confirmed that Xiao Liege was really terminally ill. This news surprised him to the extreme.In the last poisoning incident, so many people died, and Xiao Liege also ate the mutton, so he just said, how could there be no reaction at all.

It seems that she doesn't know how she escaped at that time, but the sequelae are obvious, and it even made her difficult to cure.

Yelu Mengnan began to formally contact several people in his family who were planning to rebel with him, and discussed the hijacking again.

The general steps are to buy Xiao Liege's attendants, enter the king's account and hijack Xiao Liege, then control the little emperor, coerce the emperor to order the princes, then assassinate Xiao Liege, and force the little emperor to abdicate the next year.

Fortunately, he bribed a small captain of Xiao Liege's guards outside the camp. The other party's daughter was seriously ill, and was moved by the precious medicine and money he sent, and he sent them a lot of news.

Yelu Mengnan summoned a team of dead men from the family, preparing to attack Xiao Liege's king's tent on the day when the squad leader was on duty.

After all, this matter is a rebellion. Although he is a direct descendant of the Yelu family and has the most assets and fiefdoms, he is not alone in the Yelu family, so he can't make a fuss in this first step. He must take the lead .

That day, Yelumengnan felt very high-spirited. He was a man full of self-confidence. He was young and vigorous in his early twenties, and he could get whatever he wanted, as if everything in the world could be easily grasped by him .

Therefore, he lost some stability.

The attendants on duty dismissed quite a few of the attendants and left him a path. Near midnight, he took the dead soldiers and broke in under the pretext that he wanted to see a doctor for Xiao Liege and kill the evil people around Xiao Liege. In the king's tent.

Little resistance was encountered on the periphery.

A trace of unease flashed in his heart, but his fanatical self-confidence and inflated desire made him ignore this unease, and went straight to the king's tent, only encountered a little resistance outside the king's tent, and easily resolved it. After that, he went straight to enter the king's tent, and rushed into Xiao Liege's bedroom with a group of dead soldiers armed with weapons.

Looking at the bulge on the bed, Yelu Mengnan's face was flushed with extreme excitement. He seemed to see the emperor of Liao Kingdom waving to him, and his hands were trembling with excitement.

This kind of excitement made him completely ignore why Xiao Liege's king's tent didn't have a female slave serving him. He usually sleeps, so there must be no one in the tent.

"Xiao Liege! Princess Raging Fire!"

Yelu Mengnan called Xiao Liege's name, like a wretched middle-aged man calling for a cat or dog that was about to fall into his hands.

While shouting, he approached Xiao Liege's bed.

Then, he threw off Xiao Liege's quilt and froze in place.

Where is Xiao Liege on the bed, it is simply a pillow.

At this moment, there was the sound of ping-ping-pong-pong weapons outside the tent, and then the curtain of the tent was slammed open, and Xiao Liege walked in with a large group of people dressed in neat red clothes.

Among them were their important ministers from the Liao Kingdom, and Yelu Hongyi from their Yelu family.

"Yelu Mengnan, what are you going to do when you come into my tent with a weapon at night?"
