446, drinking poison
Xu Shu finally let go of the hand holding the brocade bag. The queen immediately pulled the brocade bag out of Xu Shu and pulled it into her hand. She pulled it tightly. While holding the brocade bag, she let out a long sigh, as if the long-awaited wish was finally satisfied, and as if the troubles that had been exhausted for a long time were finally relieved. She revealed a feeling of confidence.
As soon as he let go of his hands, he immediately became empty. It can be seen that the queen's desire and reliance for the fragrance, but it is precisely this desire and reliance that makes Xu Shu feel particularly uneasy. Such a queen seems to be crazy, like a big prince who is addicted to gambling. This is not a good sign...
After thinking about it, Xu Shu finally couldn't help but persuade, "Empress, I told you that although this night fragrance is effective, it can help you achieve all your wishes! But the reason behind this is not simple, and this fragrance should not be used too much! The spices given to you before the civilian girl left Beijing for enough for you for three years, but it took just how long you had already used them all. This is fragrance, but it is also a medicine. You need to use it carefully. However, there is no saying that more is better. Using more can easily damage the dragon's body..."
"I know, I have always known it, and I have never forgotten what you said for a moment!" The queen looked calm and did not regard Xu Shu's persuasion as an offense.
"Since you know, why do you still have to..."
As the queen said before, even if she can't give birth to a prince, there are still concubines from other people who can do it for her, so why should the queen be anxious about this moment?
Holding the brocade bag, the queen spoke slowly, "I know what I know! But I can't take care of that much anymore! Do you know, since I was pregnant, the Shufei's party has been panicked. The Yongle Marquis's Mansion has bribed officials with a lot of money to cultivate power for the eldest prince. At the end of last year, a group of officials jointly wrote a letter to mention the establishment of the crown prince. Although the letter was rejected by the emperor, the palace gave birth to only one princess. The emperor was happy but could not hide his disappointment. The voice of the establishment of the crown prince in the court became even more and more huge. Now even the emperor could not directly reject it again. He could only say that the establishment of the crown prince is a major matter, and we should consider it carefully and drag it down! If the palace does not give birth to a prince soon, under the pressure of the ministers, the emperor will make the eldest prince the crown prince. Once the eldest prince is made the crown prince, the palace will never have a chance again!"
It’s not that the emperor cannot directly reject the letter from the ministers about the appointment of the crown prince, but that he is unwilling to do so. The queen is very clear about this! Before the second prince appears in the palace, the eldest prince will always be the only prince of the emperor and the only candidate who can inherit the throne. Even if the eldest prince is unbearable or not, the emperor can only rely on the eldest prince, and there is no choice! Just like the ministers know the absurdity and tyranny of the eldest prince, but for the sake of Dayin's rule, they still want to make the eldest prince the crown prince.
Xu Shu was powerless, "But you also know that abuse of Ye Laixiang is like killing a chicken to get eggs! Drinking poison to quench thirst! You are too risky to do this!" More importantly, the emperor used medicine that exceeded the dosage and was easily found by the imperial physician. Once it was found out, no one could escape!
"So what? There is still a chance to turn the world around when you gamble. If you don't gamble, you can only sit and wait for death. I don't want to wait for death, so I can only try my best to try my best!" The queen closed her eyes and showed a sarcastic smile on her lips, "Do you think the emperor has been staying in Kunning Palace for the past six months?"
Without waiting for Xu Shu to answer the queen, she continued, "Because the emperor's body is not as good as before, naturally, she can't summon concubines every night and sing every night like when she was young! But he didn't want others to know that he was old, especially when the voice of becoming a crown prince was getting higher and higher, so he only came to Kunning Palace and could only come to this palace! Because only I in this harem would not ask him for favor, so he could sleep all night in this palace, and for other concubines, they tried hard to please him in a variety of ways, just to ask him for his favor overnight, he had to spend more time and energy to deal with the entanglements of the concubines, but government affairs had consumed almost all his energy, and he really had no extra energy to care about the little thoughts of these concubines. This palace is the last pure land of the emperor!"
Xu Shu's heart trembled. She knew the reason why the emperor's body was not as good as before... If the queen hadn't used the medicine too hard, the emperor's body would not have decayed so quickly...
Once he opened up the conversation, the queen could no longer hold back. "I was sorry that I was mocked and implicated by the concubines in the harem. I had only received a handful of favors in the past six months, but the emperor only came to Kunning Palace. This became the most favorable harem in the eyes of the harem. It was really a huge joke! Thunder, rain and dew are all the kindness of the king... Ha! How many years have it been? This queen who has been out of favor for many years will also be the day when she fell out of favor and gained favor in the harem. It was all in the emperor's thoughts. I have lived enough of such a life, and I have lived enough... Do you understand?"
The queen looked at Xu Shu calmly. Even though Xu Shu couldn't feel the determination in the queen's eyes, she could still appreciate the desperate bets in the queen's words.
"The Empress Dowager's status is transcendent, and no one dares to offend in the harem, because she relies on her son, bound by filial piety, and even the emperor cannot disobey her! I also want to be like her, so I must give birth to a prince and a prince of Dayin!"
If she could not give birth to Dayin's crown prince, then Dayin would not have a crown prince! The queen's eyes were solemn!
The queen's voice was firm and terrifying. Xu Shu knew that she could not speak any more, so she lowered her head.
"Don't worry, even if I make a mistake in the end, I will not blame you. Since I gave birth to the princess, I realized that this boy or girl is really the only way to depend on my life!" After revealing the depression in my heart, the queen returned to normal. "I have always clearly distinguished grudges, and I will remember your contributions in my heart!"
"Thank you, Empress!" Xu Shu was a little heavy. The queen insisted on increasing the dosage of the medicine. It was useless to persuade her. If the emperor's body had problems in advance, Zhou Jin's plan might be disrupted. She had to inform Zhou Jin in advance.
"What are you grateful for! I haven't done anything yet. Thank you for doing so early!" The queen smiled and patted Xu Shu's hand.
morning?
Xu Shu said in surprise, "Empress..."
The queen stopped keeping her from being kept silent and said loudly, "Madam Yuan, invite someone in!"
"Please come in, madam!" Madam Yuan bowed and let someone come in.
A woman in her early forties entered the door. Her face was white. Although there were some fine lines in the corners of her eyes, her eyebrows and eyes were calm, and she looked like a very kind-hearted person.
The woman bowed down and bowed, "My wife has seen the Empress, and the Empress is blessed with great blessings!"
"Madam, please don't give me a gift!" The queen raised her hand slightly, pointed at Xu Shu beside her and said to the lady, "Does Madam feel familiar?"
