Chapter 896: It is reasonable that he will die someday
Nangong Xuanyu said: "Then tell me, how is the Queen Mother's health?"
He Yuanpan is just obsessed with medical skills. He is not as smooth as other officials, but he is not stupid.
Seeing the emperor's expression and hearing his tone, there was nothing that He Yuanpan didn't understand.
So Your Majesty really wants to...
He immediately lowered his head and said, "As Your Majesty said, the Queen Mother is old and has been paralyzed in bed for more than half a year. I'm afraid her body will deteriorate day by day, and it is reasonable for her to pass away one day. I hope Your Majesty will be mentally prepared..."
Nangong Xuanyu's tone was calm: "In this case, the Queen Mother's body will be handed over to you to take care of secretly. You must take good care of her for me!"
He emphasized the word "care".
The judge of the Heyuan Court was startled, and he immediately bowed and said, "I understand!"
As Nangong Xuanyu waved his hand, he bowed his head and saluted respectfully: "I will take my leave!"
After leaving the Yangxin Palace, He Yuanpan realized that his back was already wet with cold sweat...
Having worked in the palace for so many years, he had carried out the emperor's orders many times, causing some people who were already in poor health to "die of illness" quietly.
But this was the first time such a method was used on the Empress Dowager, who was so precious.
If he had not been with His Majesty for many years and had always been loyal to His Majesty, He Yuanpan was really afraid that he would be silenced after this was done...
……
Yikun Palace.
Xiao Tianzi stood beside Wangpin with his head down, with a look of unwillingness on his face: "Your Majesty, I thought that this time something so serious had happened, and Your Majesty Chen Guifei would be skinned alive if she didn't die."
"Her enthronement ceremony was cancelled because of a strange phenomenon from heaven. So many ministers in the court were dissatisfied with her. Unexpectedly, she was able to escape in the end."
"Your Majesty really loves Concubine Chongchen. He is willing to go to great lengths for her and get to the bottom of this matter."
There was a hint of jealousy and unwillingness in Wangpin's eyes.
If Concubine Chen falls this time, the palace will lose a favored concubine with a prince.
At that time, the remaining people will be able to fight for a future based on their own abilities.
I never thought that Concubine Chen’s luck was so good!
Even though she was unhappy, Wangpin did not show it. She just snorted coldly and said, "You also know that she is a noble concubine with a title. If His Majesty did not favor her, would he honor her so much?"
"If that's the case, how could Concubine Chen fall so easily?"
"Fortunately, all of these things have nothing to do with our Yikun Palace. Let's just pretend that we didn't see any excitement this time."
Xiao Tianzi lowered his head and said, "Yes."
"It's just that...if Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine knew about the rumors in the palace a few days ago..."
Wangpin immediately raised her head and glared at him: "What does this rumor have to do with me? Didn't it all come from Shuixi Pavilion?"
Xiao Tianzi immediately smiled: "Your Majesty is right!"
"You just asked the maid to give some advice during the conversation. It was Concubine Chun who had evil intentions and started rumors and stirred up trouble in the harem. It has nothing to do with us."
"Even if Concubine Chen wants to settle accounts, she should be the one to look for her."
Wangpin leaned back in her chair and sneered leisurely, "I used to think that there were so many empty side halls in the palace, why did they choose to place a tribute from a foreign land in my Yikun Palace."
"Now it seems that it is not bad for Concubine Chun to live in Shuixi Pavilion."
Otherwise, there are so many things she wants to do, who should she ask to do it for her?
Speaking of this, Xiao Tianzi became more and more curious.
He looked outside and lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness, it is now rumored that it was Concubine Kang's mother's family who murdered Concubine Chen in order to support the Fifth Prince."
"Do you think she is the real murderer?"
Wang Concubine sneered: "The Fifth Prince is just a short-lived ghost, and the Zhang family still wants to support him to ascend to the throne? It's ridiculous!"
"Let's take a step back and say that even if the Fifth Prince is a normal prince, the Zhang family is just a small official. Do they have the ability to participate in the fight for the throne?"
"You said that the Zhang family did this. I'm not a fool. How could I believe it?"
"I'm afraid not only me, but also Concubine Chen will not believe it, let alone your Majesty? Maybe your Majesty has already ordered people to investigate who is behind the Zhang family."
The more Wangpin spoke, the more jealousy she sounded.
Because she knew very well that if the same thing happened to other people, His Majesty would not take it so seriously.
Xiao Tianzi suddenly realized something: "My Lady, if it wasn't the Zhang family, who could have done this?"
"Empress Chen was almost completely doomed. Who has such great ability? We must be on guard! Otherwise, if such a method is used on you one day..."
But Concubine Wang was not worried at all.
Because she already had someone she suspected.
There are only a few people who are capable of doing this.
It’s a pity that although she depended on the Duke Dingguo’s Mansion, the Empress Dowager never regarded her as one of her own.
The Queen Mother had never revealed any information about this matter to her.
But this did not affect Wangpin's suspicion.
She only hoped that the Duke Dingguo's Mansion would clean up the mess, otherwise if anything happened to the Liu family, it would implicate her and the Third Prince.
Thinking of this, Wangpin stood up and said slowly, "It has been a long time since I went to pay my respects to the Queen Mother."
"Ziyuan, change my clothes for me. I need to go to the Cining Palace to pay my respects."
Ziyuan bowed and said, "Yes!"
Who in the palace is not a shrewd person? Knowing that His Majesty and the Empress Dowager are only mother and son in name only, even His Majesty rarely goes to the Cining Palace under the pretext of not disturbing the Empress Dowager's rest, and the concubines avoid that place even more.
Except for the concubines from Duke Dingguo's Mansion.
And Wang Bin is the best among them.
No one would find it strange that she went to the Cining Palace to pay a visit.
……
Cining Palace.
In order to prevent Empress Dowager Liu from developing bedsores, Nanny Yuan would ask the palace maids to turn her over many times every day.
Outsiders may not be able to feel it these days, but as the closest person to Empress Dowager Liu, Nanny Yuan can naturally detect the low pressure around Empress Dowager Liu.
She also knew the reason.
After the palace maids had finished cleaning up, Nanny Yuan waved her hand and asked them to leave.
She knelt beside Empress Dowager Liu's bed and consoled her: "Empress Dowager, you have lived in the palace for most of your life and have seen all kinds of storms. Why are you so anxious this time..."
First, they tampered with the day of Concubine Xuan's delivery, and now they have ruined the ceremony of conferring the title of Concubine Chen.
Although these things were done secretly and ordinary people could not find out, Your Majesty is no longer the young boy he was back then.
With his own strength, he destroyed the entire Zhenguo Mansion and took control of most of the court!
Everything you do will leave traces. Is the Queen Mother really not afraid of being discovered by His Majesty?
