Chapter 19: She Wants to Rebel?
"The Emperor is poisoned?" The Queen Mother suddenly stood up, her sudden anger destroyed her usual calmness, and her tone was cold and stern, "Who is so bold as to dare to poison the Emperor? If we find out, the Ai family will definitely destroy all nine of his clans! "
The servant in Ci'an Palace said tremblingly: "I, I don't know."
The Queen Mother said coldly: "Where is the Emperor at this moment?"
"Royal study room."
The Queen Mother couldn't stay any longer and hurried out: "Go to the Imperial Study Room!"
"yes."
In the imperial study room, Yan Chen was sitting on the dragon couch for the emperor to rest temporarily, his face was as sinking as water, and he took turns taking pulses one by one, with a hint of uneasiness in his eyes that was not easy to detect.
The leading physician frowned deeply, "The emperor seems to have been poisoned, but the signs of poisoning are not very clear, and it is impossible to tell what kind of poison he was poisoned at the moment."
Another imperial physician asked respectfully: "Does the Emperor feel any discomfort?"
Feeling of discomfort?
Yan Chen had a cold face. He didn't know if it was an illusion. He always felt tight in his chest, and his heart felt like a big stone was pressing on it. But at this time, what he was thinking about was not about his poisoning, but what Yan Qing said before leaving. .
Xiao Jinghan followed his father's imperial edict and poisoned Yan Qing within seven years... How did she know about this?
The more Yan Chen thought about it, the more horrified he became.
Only the two of them knew the secret decree that their father gave to Xiao Jinghan, and even Yan Chen only told it to him before the late emperor died.
How could Yan Qing know? Jamel Xiao revealed it to her?
Although this possibility is very small, Yan Chen can't help but have a seed of doubt in his heart.
If it was really Xiao Jinghan who leaked this matter, then why did Yan Qing go to the brothel to "catch an adulterer"?
The two of them acted together in a play?
Yan Chen used to hate Yan Qing just because of the reputation of Tiansha Lone Star, but now he is really uneasy.
Yan Qing, who has been exiled for ten years, has become difficult to figure out. Her words and deeds are full of the word "rebellious", disrespectful to her elders, arrogant, rebellious, and daring.
Yan Chen felt that Yan Qing like this was terrifying and extremely terrifying.
If the Xiao family really had some conspiracy with her...
"The Queen Mother has arrived——"
A high-pitched singing and shouting sounded, and people knelt on the ground outside the imperial study room, "See the Queen Mother!"
Yan Chen came to his senses and quickly stood up to greet the Queen Mother. The doctors also knelt down and saluted in unison.
"Why is the Queen Mother here?"
"The Ai family heard that you were poisoned." The Queen Mother stepped into the royal study, looked Yan Chen up and down, turned around and saw the imperial doctor kneeling on the ground, and asked urgently, "How is the emperor's condition? So? What kind of poison is there? Is there a way to detoxify it?”
"Reporting to the Queen Mother, the emperor was poisoned..." The imperial doctors all looked solemn and knelt down. "The Queen Mother forgives me, but there is nothing I can do for you."
When the Queen Mother heard this, her expression suddenly turned cold: "They are all trash!"
"The Queen Mother, please calm down, I will definitely find a way -"
"Who poisoned you?" The Queen Mother looked ugly and asked sternly, "The palace is guarded at all levels, but thieves actually let thieves take advantage of it? What do you do for food? Pull out all the people serving the emperor and kill them with sticks!"
Wei Changhai knelt down: "The Queen Mother, the eldest... eldest princess..."
The eldest princess?
The Queen Mother's expression changed: "Yan Qing?"
"yes."
"How could it be Yan Qing?" The Queen Mother turned to look at the Emperor, her face gloomy and cold and angry, "She poisoned you?"
Yan Chen nodded slowly, his expression equally ugly.
Regicide is a treasonous act and should be executed by Ling Chi.
The Queen Mother thought about the Yan Qing she saw today, and her expression became even colder: "What does she want to do? Regicide and rebellion? She is simply asking for death!"
"Your Majesty, something bad has happened!" A hurried alarm came from the imperial study, and then a Yulin guard walked into the imperial study quickly and knelt down on one knee, "The eldest princess killed Xiao Yingxue, the legitimate daughter of the Xiao family. Mrs. Xiao He fainted on the spot due to shock and anger, and now General Xiao is rushing to the palace to ask the emperor for his decision. "
What?
The Queen Mother's face changed drastically, and Yan Chen couldn't believe it: "Is Yan Qing a murderer?"
He was still in the palace a moment ago, and he killed the Xiao family's legitimate daughter just moments after leaving?
"What's going on?" Yan Chen asked angrily, "Why did Yan Qing kill the Xiao family's legitimate daughter?"
"Mrs. Xiao and her daughter blocked the gate of the eldest princess's mansion, wanting to see Xiao Jinghan. The Xiao family's legitimate daughter made rude remarks to the eldest princess——"
"You can kill people at will if you say something rude?" The Queen Mother was so angry that her whole body was shaking. "She is simply lawless and lawless!"
Yan Chen slowly clenched his hands and felt a surge of energy and blood, which made him unable to help but command: "Jilin! Take the royal guards out of the palace immediately and capture Yan Qing!"
"Your Majesty, calm down, you must not do this!" Wei Changhai risked his life to appease the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, "The eldest princess is so unscrupulous and can do anything. If she really takes action, the Imperial Guards will not be able to compete with the Qilin Guards!"
This sentence obviously touched on the emperor's pain point, and he couldn't help but kicked him: "Trash! They are all trash!"
Wei Changhai was kicked to the ground, but he did not dare to cry out in pain. He got up and kowtowed repeatedly: "This slave deserves to die. Please think again, Your Majesty!"
After Yan Chen vented his anger, he finally calmed down a little.
The Royal Forest Army is indeed no match for the Qilin Guard, and he should not be impulsive.
"Your Majesty!" Another Yulin guard came in a hurry, "The eldest princess ordered someone to take Hu Yushi's youngest son to the princess mansion, saying that he would be made a slave."
The Queen Mother staggered a step, raised her hand to support her forehead, and was so angry that she felt dizzy: "This rebellious girl! Rebellious girl!"
"Come here!" Yan Chen's face turned green, and he could no longer control his anger. "Quickly summon the Regent to the palace!"
"Yes."
The eunuch hurried out of the palace to invite the Regent. After a while, General Xiao and Censor Hu arrived at the Imperial Study Room one after another. Both of them looked extremely angry, and they were obviously ready to go to the palace to file a complaint.
