Two days after the birthday banquet, assassins broke into the palace and assassinated the queen mother. The queen mother was attacked and fell into a coma. The imperial doctor diagnosed her as poisoned!

When the queen mother was assassinated, the emperor was furious when he heard the news, and ordered Dali Temple to thoroughly investigate the assassination of the queen mother.

Late at night, Qinglan Palace.

"You asked me to go to Prince Jing's room to look for a copper dagger, but I didn't find it." Gu Wanqing pulled the black cloth off her face and frowned.

Yan Hui was stunned for a moment, "Didn't find it?"

"Yes, I didn't find the dagger in the few places you asked me to look for." Gu Wanqing was a little puzzled, "But...why did you ask me to look for the dagger in Prince Jing's room?"

"Don't you have some ideas in your heart?" Yan Hui asked without answering.

Gu Wanqing narrowed her eyes slightly, "Is the dagger in Prince Jing's chamber... related to the assassination of the Empress Dowager yesterday?"

Yan Hui applauded and laughed, "Smart."

"The queen mother was assassinated by King Jing?" Gu Wanqing was shocked, "You asked me to find the dagger to catch the real murderer?"

Yan Hui shook her head, smiled without saying a word.

"Could it be?" Seeing Yan Hui's expression, Gu Wanqing obviously guessed wrong.

So what was the real reason why Yan Hui asked her to get the dagger?

"You want to protect Prince Jing, so you asked me to get the dagger, and then... sell the stolen goods?!" The more Gu Wanqing said, the more she felt unbelievable, and at the end, her voice was floating.

Yan Hui rubbed her chin thoughtfully, "Let's say you're half right, keep guessing."

Gu Wanqing wanted to drink some water, but when she took the teacup, her hands trembled, and the tea spilled all over the table.

"I'll do it," Yan Hui poured a cup of tea for Gu Wanqing, looked at Gu Wanqing's trembling hands, and joked, "Are you shaking like this? Do you want me to feed you?"

"No need," Gu Wanqing took the teacup, poured it down, and said in a deep voice, "You want to kill the Queen Mother!?"

"She is my aunt, why should I kill her?"

"Prince Jing wants to kill the Empress Dowager?" Gu Wanqing frowned, "The Empress Dowager is your aunt, and your aunt was assassinated, why do you still protect Prince Jing?"

"The Queen Mother's birthday banquet ordered Prince Jing to stay in Beijing. What reason does he have to kill the Queen Mother?"

What Yan Hui said made Gu Wanqing's mind even more confused, "If Prince Jing didn't kill him, why did you ask me to go to Prince Jing's room to get the dagger? How did you know there would be a dagger in Prince Jing's room?"

"How about this," Yan Hui pondered, "Just guess who wants to kill the Queen Mother? If you guess it, these things will be solved."

Gu Wanqing looked at Yan Hui, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, with an air of winning, she was looked at and guessed openly by her, without showing any panic or fear at all.

She was very confused, thinking about all kinds of guesses, until an unbelievable idea suddenly popped up, she couldn't believe it and had to believe it.

"Your Majesty!" Gu Wanqing raised her head and said in a calm and desperate tone.

The corner of Yan Hui's mouth twitched, and she praised: "Why?"

Gu Wanqing actually didn't know much about the court affairs, but she had heard some superficial rumors.

In fact, the queen mother's party and the emperor were at odds with each other. Although the two parties appeared to be harmonious and friendly on the surface in the eyes of the world, they were secretly fighting each other and fighting openly and secretly.

However, Gu Wanqing's father, Gu Qing, was still in the neutral position. Before Gu Wanqing entered the palace, Gu Qing also hinted at her in a subtle way, telling her to be at ease with each other, not to cause trouble, and not to have too much contact with the Yan family and the Zhao family. , just do your job.

Therefore, Gu Wanqing often stayed in the Wanning Palace, never participated in the harem competition, and refused Qi Qian's flop if he could. First, Qi Qian really hurt her, and second, it was Gu Qing's advice to her.

Although Gu Wanqing controlled the distance between her and Qi Qian, she never thought that one day she would agree to Yan Hui's request and help her with things.

It's really unpredictable!

"The emperor assassinated the queen mother, but put the dagger in Prince Jing's room, trying to blame Prince Jing. You knew about this, so you asked me to sneak into Prince Jing's room and take out the dagger, so as to defeat the emperor's plan," Gu Wanqing said. With a sigh of relief, "Really?"

Yan Hui blinked her eyes in agreement.

"Then you... how did you know that the emperor is going to blame Prince Jing?"

When Yan Hui asked her to go to King Jing's room to get something, she wanted to refuse, but the reward Yan Hui offered was too exciting, Gu Wanqing couldn't refuse.

"If you know too much about some things, you will die." Yan Hui narrowed her eyes and smiled lightly, "Are you sure you still want to know?"

Gu Wanqing paused in her heart, shook her head and said, "No...no need."

"Well, you go back first, and you don't know about it."

"Okay," Gu Wanqing was about to leave, and turned to look at Yan Hui, "You promised me..."

"I can do it," Yan Hui raised her eyes, her eyes were firm, which made people feel an incomparable sense of trust in her, "We are friends, I will not harm you,"

"But if you want to kill yourself, I can't stop me, can I?" Yan Hui's voice changed, and a creepy evil flashed in her eyes.

Gu Wanqing was shocked, and took a deep breath, "Okay, I see."

She left lightly, coming and going without a trace, as if nothing happened this night.

The dagger in Qi Kai's room disappeared, Yan Hui frowned and smiled helplessly.

Qi Qian blamed Qi Kai, the dagger in Qi Kai's room was missing, the queen mother was poisoned and unconscious, Qi Qian was afraid that his head would explode, after all, there was no poison on the dagger.

Jingheng 13 years

The north said that the army of the country was coming, and Qi Qian still had a headache about the queen mother being poisoned and unconscious. After all, the assassination of the queen mother was too serious, and Qi Qian wanted to give an explanation to all the officials.

But when the enemy attacked, Qi Qian was about to order Prince Zhao to go out, but Qi Kai asked for his order to lead the troops to defend against the enemy.

Now—

Qi Kai took the initiative to ask for orders, which hit Qi Qian's arms, because he knew that this war would be won, but Qi Kai would definitely die.

The next day, Qi Kai led hundreds of thousands of soldiers to the battlefield. Qi Qian stood on the city wall and looked at the marching army. He sighed softly, turned around slowly, and showed a smile of victory.

When he looked up, he saw Zhao Nansong standing in front of him.

Qi Qian was shocked, and put away his smile, "Why is the queen here?"

Zhao Nansong looked at the army going away, "The army is going out, and the concubine is worried. Come and have a look, and pray for King Jing's return in victory."

"The queen has the world in her heart, she is gentle and honest, I am very pleased," Qi Qian walked to Zhao Nansong, put his arms around her slender waist slightly, seeing that she did not hide, he felt secretly refreshed, "Let's go, it's windy here, the queen is weak , don’t catch the wind and cold again, or I will feel distressed.”

Zhao Nansong smiled shyly and followed Qi Qian down the city wall.

"The Empress!"

"Your Majesty! It's not good!"

I saw Suhe and Eunuch Liu running up one after another, their faces panicked and anxious.

Qi Qian frowned, and shouted, "What's all the fuss about?"

Eunuch Liu reported: "The Queen Mother...the Queen Mother is going to die."

"What!?" Qi Qian was surprised.

"Diagnosed by the imperial doctor, the queen mother only...has one breath..." Eunuch Liu said in a deep voice.

Shouning Palace

The Empress Dowager's complexion was pale at this time, without any trace of blood, and there was no sign of breathing in her chest, as if she had returned from her soul.

Yan Hui looked at the queen mother who hadn't breathed out much yet, and sighed.

Zhao Nansong and Qi Qian walked into the Shouning Palace bedroom. Qi Qian walked to the bed, looked at the Queen Mother, and said in a deep voice, "Mother Queen? Can you hear me?"

The queen mother didn't respond, she opened her cloudy eyes and stared at Qi Qian.

Seeing her half-dead appearance, Qi Qian suppressed his smile, choked up his sobs and said, "Mother... Mother, what do you want to say?" He leaned close to the Queen Mother's lips, "Speak, my son is listening."

The Empress Dowager was still looking forward, her eyes were distracted, her lips moved, but there was no sound.

Zhao Nansong inspected for a week, and said in a deep voice: "Others step down, it is enough to have my palace, Concubine Yan and the emperor."

"Yes!"

Everyone retreated to the yard and waited for their whereabouts.

Suddenly they heard loud noises coming from inside the house. Everyone was puzzled, but they dared not enter without permission.

There was a sharp cracking sound.

There was a trampling sound from the roof, and everyone saw a man in black flying down and disappearing.

At this time, Zhao Nansong's shout came from the room.

"Come on, there are assassins!"

The guards hurriedly went after the assassin, and others rushed into the room.

I saw that the Queen Mother was breathless, and Concubine Yan Gui fell to the ground unconscious, not knowing whether she was dead or alive.And the emperor had a red copper dagger stuck in his chest, and passed out unconsciously.

The empress also had stab wounds on her abdomen, and she was lying on the ground with half-closed eyes.

The crowd exclaimed.

"Come here, find the imperial physician, and save the emperor!"

The author has something to say: make a complaint:

I beat a king today, and I was very angry. My archer's lines were unclear, so I had to run around.

I'm just wondering, the soldiers don't know where you got the money to go shopping! ?

And I play support to give you vision, not to watch houses, towns and graves to determine Feng Shui!

My heart hurts when I kneel.....
