Chapter 52: Murder

"The loyal marquis returned in defeat?"

As this calm and slow sentence fell, the air in Ren'an Palace stagnated and the temperature dropped sharply.

It was clearly the season of spring when flowers were blooming, but people felt the biting cold.

The palace people were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they knelt on the ground trembling, not daring to raise their heads.

The queen mother had not kicked the iron board for a long time.

She had been strong since the reign of the previous emperor. After the emperor ascended the throne, she took power as the queen mother. No one in the palace dared to sing against her in public.

Except for the few pedantic and upright old stubborn people in the court, no one dared to disobey her imperial decree.

So when she proposed that Ji Weiyu divine a result that suited her heart, and Ji Weiyu clearly refused and said that he would not obey her will, the queen mother immediately sentenced him to death in her heart.

A crime that must be put to death.

But it was not so easy for the queen mother to kill the prince - and he was a son of God respected by everyone.

It is not a big deal for the ruler to kill people. People who fear power will not dare to resist. However, the Son of God is deeply respected by the subjects of Chu State and is the faith of the subjects.

If she kills the Son of God, it will surely arouse the resistance of the people of the world.

The Queen Mother is in power until now, and she is definitely not a brainless person.

She will not deal with Ji Weiyu openly.

If you want to kill this Son of God, you can only assassinate or poison him - but there are many doctors who are proficient in detoxification in the Imperial Hospital of the Palace, and ordinary poisons cannot be foolproof.

In order to ensure that things go smoothly, the Queen Mother spent a lot of effort to get this poison, and it is certain that no doctor can detoxify it.

Originally thought that Ji Weiyu would die after being poisoned, and then see how this group of idiots in Chu State can still worship Ji Weiyu as a god.

Once the Son of God dies, she can send people to spread rumors that the emperor is unpopular and not the person chosen by God. If you hear too many rumors, you will believe them.

Are you still afraid that you can't get what you want at that time?

However, a female doctor who came out of nowhere appeared halfway through. Not only did she have the audacity to destroy her plan and make all her efforts fail, she was also so brazen as to attack the female doctor of her maid.

She deserved death!

What was even more damnable was that since she entered the Fengwang Mansion, the poisoned and dying Fengwang seemed to have suddenly turned the tide. First, Chen Yinu suffered a loss, and then the eldest princess was confined to the house.

Today, even the Loyalty Marquis suffered a setback in the Fengwang Mansion.

The queen mother looked gloomy and stared at the colorful lotus glass cup in front of her in silence. Her heart was already boiling with anger and murderous intent.

She needed to think carefully about how to make the female doctor's life worse than death.

Sending her to the Jiaosifang was too easy for her. Steaming a living person was not enough to relieve the queen mother's anger.

The maids in Ren'an Palace served tremblingly, fearing that they would be dragged out and beaten to death if they were not careful.

After an unknown amount of time, the Queen Mother spoke coldly, "Did the Emperor go to the Prince Feng's Mansion again today?"

"Yes."

"Was the master who injured Situ Xuan arranged by the Emperor?"

"I don't know yet." Meng Changqing knelt beside him with his eyebrows lowered, "Do you want me to check?"

The Queen Mother took a deep breath, "The weather outside is probably going to change. Has I not killed anyone for a long time, so they have all forgotten my temper?"

When dealing with those stupid and tactless things, you should use bloody means to scare them, otherwise they will really think she is a vegetarian and Buddhist.

The Queen Mother suppressed her anger, "How is Situ Xuan injured?"

"It should be fine." Meng Changqing replied cautiously, "The Emperor arrived just after they started fighting."

The Queen Mother heard this, and her eyebrows showed deep thought: "It seems that the female doctor has some means, and she can actually convince the Prince Feng to clean up the palace."

Meng Changqing was shocked: "What the Queen Mother means is... that female doctor is the mastermind behind the scenes?"

He thought that the female doctor was just a female doctor, could there be any special origin?

"The mastermind behind the scenes? You're overestimating her." The Queen Mother didn't take a female doctor seriously. Her calm and indifferent tone was like discussing an ant. "At most, she's afraid of death, so she asked the Phoenix King to strengthen the defense."

Meng Changqing breathed a sigh of relief.

The Queen Mother was holding back a rage in her heart, and her tone was gloomy: "What's going on with Mingzhu? Have you sent someone to ask?"

Meng Changqing nodded quickly: "I sent someone to ask, but the door of the princess's mansion was closed. The servants said that the eldest princess didn't see anyone."

"No one?" The Queen Mother was furious, "It's really a ghost in broad daylight. When did she become afraid of seeing people?"

Meng Changqing hesitated and said: "Does the Queen Mother suspect that something happened to the eldest princess?"

The Queen Mother looked gloomy. Thinking of Chen Anzhi who was still speechless, and then thinking of Ji Mingzhu who suddenly closed the door and didn't see anyone, the color in her eyes became a little cold and sharp: "Tell me, if I don't see anyone, How can I see the female doctor now? "

Meng Changqing thought hard: "When the Marquis of Loyalty went to deliver the oral order, the guards of the Feng Wang Mansion said that Feng Wang was still in a coma and in a dangerous situation... No matter whether what he said was true or false, Feng Wang would definitely not want to enter the palace, let alone bring the female doctor into the palace. "

"Now that female doctor is his only hope, Feng Wang will naturally not push her into danger!" The Queen Mother smiled coldly, "The Emperor relies on this son to bring him confidence, and will not harm the female doctor. Maybe he has arranged for someone to protect the female doctor."

Meng Changqing did not dare to speak again.

The Queen Mother closed her eyes, with a deep murderous intent in her heart, but she could not think of a way to make the woman obediently enter the palace to die.

Although Ji Weiyu, this little bastard, has no power in the court, the title of "Son of God" alone can make the Queen Mother restrain herself. If it were any other prince, even if she personally led people to break into the palace in broad daylight and kill him, no one in the court would dare to say anything.

But the people of Chu State revered and revered the Son of God. If she really dared to kill the Son of God, why would she wait until today? Why would she go to such lengths to poison him?

The Queen Mother couldn't think of a better way for a while.

The iron rack in the palace was ready, and the iron urn was also ready at any time. She didn't believe that she, the Queen Mother of a country, couldn't even deal with a female doctor.
