Be a master through ancient times
Chapter 493 Negotiation
"...Ji'er, I don't know how he would do such a thing..." The queen bowed her head and burst into tears, and the maid at the side wiped her with a Supa in distress.
"The Holy Majesty wanted to ask him about the arson. For some reason, the two quarreled. Ji'er has always been stubborn. No matter how much I tried to persuade the Holy Majesty, he refused to give in to the Holy Majesty. He even said a lot of unpleasant things. His Majesty vomited blood and fainted." Her face was full of regret, "It would have been better if I had been tougher and dragged him out..."
"Your Majesty, since this matter has already happened, you don't need to blame yourself too much." Prime Minister Zuo, who was urgently called into the palace at night, comforted him.
The other ministers also looked at the empress with some sympathy. Their own sons killed the imperial concubine, which made the emperor's life in danger. As the mother, the empress should be the most sad person.
The queen pulled the corners of her mouth reluctantly, and said: "You don't need to be comforted by the left minister. As the saying goes, children don't teach their parents their faults. If Ji'er is like this now, it must be because we didn't do a good job as parents. After the emperor fainted at that time, the imperial concubine and sister were very angry. Angry, she and Ji'er have always been at odds, so she stepped forward to reprimand and beat Ji'er. Ji'er was also confused for a moment, and picked up the jade pillow of the Holy Majesty... and slammed it on the head of her sister twice. The second prince came to his senses and knocked Ji'er unconscious, it was too late."
Concubine Zhang Guifei's father was very old, and after hearing the news for the first time, he became bedridden.It was her elder brother who came. He first went to Xiuchun Palace to look at his sister's body. When he came over, he happened to hear how Yu Ji killed his sister. His eyes turned red immediately, and he said fiercely: "Where is that beast, I want to let her die." He paid for my sister's life!"
"Master Zhang be careful!" Someone immediately reminded, "No matter how wrong the eldest prince is, he is also of royal blood. You must not make mistakes!"
"The Son of Heaven breaks the law and commits the same crime as the common people, not to mention that he is a beast who disregards human relations and kills his concubine's mother!" Master Zhang turned to the Queen and said mockingly, "I wonder if the Queen Mother wants to protect him? The Holy Majesty has not woken up yet, and everything is up to him. The empress is in charge!"
The queen said apologetically: "I know that what Ji'er did this time is to be blamed for death, and I will not cover him up, but how to deal with it, let's wait until the Holy One wakes up. Can you meddle in the government?"
"However, Doctor Qin said before that the Holy Majesty should not be angry, but he fainted twice a day and vomited so much blood. I don't know when he will wake up..." She said, wiping her face again. Wipe away tears.
"Why don't you invite Doctor Qin to ask about the situation? A country cannot live without a king. If the Holy Majesty remains in a coma, the court may be shaken."
The other ministers also agreed with his statement, so they came to the door of the inner hall and knocked on the door.
The one who came to open the door was Zhang Fuhai with red and swollen eyes. When he came back, the Imperial Forest Army was dragging the unconscious Yu Ji away. Hearing that Emperor Tianhe had fainted again, he rushed into the inner hall, crying uncontrollably. Own.
"What's the matter, my lords, the Holy Majesty needs to rest at this moment, and don't be disturbed if you have nothing to do."
"Director Zhang, I came here to ask Qin Yizheng, how is the Holy Majesty's health?"
Zhang Fuhai stared at them bitterly, and naturally knew that they didn't ask because they cared about the Holy Majesty.
"The Holy Majesty is in good health, don't bother you adults to worry about it!" He said, and he wanted to close the door.
"Zhang Fuhai, I know that you have a deep relationship with your master and servant. It's just a matter of state affairs. You can't hide it from everyone. Instead of causing turmoil in the government later, it's better to let everyone understand now." The queen stepped forward and gave Zhang Fuhai exerted pressure.
Zhang Fuhai had no choice but to open the door and let Doctor Qin go out.
"Qin Yizheng, when will the Holy Majesty wake up? Please tell the truth so that we can rest assured."
Doctor Qin's face was serious. He used golden needles to close the acupoints and temporarily saved the life of the Holy Majesty, but this does not mean that the Holy Majesty is not in danger.It turned out that he was just angry and furious, and now he was still hot, and he was in great pain.
Everyone could see his expression, and suddenly everyone's heart sank, and they had bad guesses.
"I can't say why the Holy Majesty will wake up. Maybe he will wake up tomorrow morning. If he can't wake up in the morning, it's hard to say. It all depends on when the high temperature of the Holy Majesty will subside."
Doctor Qin had already boiled the medicine just now, but Tianhedi gritted his teeth, and Zhang Fuhai couldn't feed it no matter what.He could only soak a cold handkerchief and apply it on his head, hoping that the high fever would subside soon.
His words are so clear, everyone can only go back to the outer hall and wait patiently for the arrival of tomorrow morning.
"My lords are waiting here. I have to go to the Xiuchun Palace first. The bones of the imperial concubine and sister are not cold, and the second prince is small. I'm afraid I will lose my sense of proportion."
Everyone got up to send the queen off, Master Zhang also wanted to follow, but he was a foreigner after all, and there were some low-ranking concubines living in the side hall of Xiuchun Palace, so it was really inappropriate to go there again.
In Xiuchun Palace, the mourning hall has already started to be decorated.The second prince knelt in front of the coffin in sackcloth and filial piety, sending paper money to the brazier in front of him with a numb expression, his eyes were red and swollen and absent-minded, this scene of grief was more than heart-dead, and the palace people in Xiuchun Palace couldn't help but cry secretly .
Hearing the sound of the queen coming, everyone quickly knelt down to greet her, not daring to be negligent like before.
"Everyone get up, the imperial concubine passed away suddenly, everyone feels bad, but the rules that should be obeyed must be followed. I have already sent people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to come here, and everything will be done according to the ancestral system. Don't act carelessly and fail. decent, you know?"
"I would like to obey the Queen's order."
"Okay, you guys go out first, I have something to say to His Highness the Second Highness."
Everyone else retreated obediently, only the imperial concubine's nanny looked at Yu Zhi worriedly and was reluctant to leave, but was finally persuaded and pulled out by the palace people.
"Are you satisfied?" Yu Zhi asked quietly after everyone retreated.
The queen turned a deaf ear, picked up a few incense sticks and lit them, bowed to the mourning hall, and then put the incense sticks in the incense case.
"There's no need to make such a hypocritical gesture, do you think it can make up for it?" Yu Zhi was filled with grief and indignation.
"Why should I make amends? She deserved more than a death sentence. I just thought that the dead are the greatest, so I just offered her a few sticks of incense. But you, don't you think it's too late to say such things now?" The queen looked calm. After experiencing so many things, she no longer believes in karma.
Yu Zhi was left speechless by what she said, and after a long silence, he said: "I did something wrong."
The queen sneered: "Then how are you going to expose me in front of those courtiers? Go and tell everyone that you and your biological mother conspired to kill your adoptive mother, and then watched the boss ascend the throne?"
"Even if I don't say it, what's the use? Father will wake up soon, and the boss is not dumb. It will be too late for everyone to know!" Yu Zhi was a little scared at this time, but fortunately he had not had time to do it in the future. What, I believe that the emperor will forgive him.
"Oh, I said why you look like this, so you are afraid." The queen chuckled, and she was right, this cold-hearted look is not the same as hers.
"Why are you..." Yu Zhi hesitated to speak, but he didn't dare to say such outrageous things.
"Do you want to ask me, why don't you just kill your father and boss?" The queen guessed what he was thinking, and then said, "If three people died in the inner palace at once, it would be suspicious. Boss I brought him up from a young age, and he is nothing to be afraid of. As for your father, it is impossible for him to wake up."
She was so confident that Yu Zhi was very surprised: "Did you drug the father?"
"His body is already at the end of its strength, so why do he need to prescribe medicine? That old man Zhang Fuhai thinks that if he doesn't tell others, others won't be able to find out, but since I was plotted against by others, I have learned medicine with my mother. What about his situation? Can you hide it from me?" Besides, the empress added a heartache to him, and in this case, unless the god Da Luo rescued him, it could only hang his life.
Yu Zhi felt at ease, and asked again: "What about the boss? How can you guarantee that he won't say anything?"
The queen's expression was a bit complicated: "He has always been a vicious person on the surface, but he is actually as timid as a mouse. Once word of the concubine's death reached his ears, he has no time to take care of other things. Besides, even if he said it, someone has to believe it." .”
Thinking of the fact that everyone in the Wei Dynasty knew that the queen loves her son like her life, Yu Zhi was shocked: "So you deliberately acted like a long time ago, even though he was lawless, so that everyone believed in it, even if Yu Zhi Ji said that he is not your parent and child, and no one will believe it!"
"Then, what if the father tells others about this?" Zhang Fuhai is the father's confidant, so there is no guarantee that he will not know.
The queen laughed: "Your royal father is indecisive, he still has some affection for me, so naturally he won't let anyone know about it."
"Father is so kind to you, why do you..."
"He has affection for me, why not for others?" The Queen's face turned cold, and her words were full of hatred, "It's because he has always been too scruples, and I haven't lived a happy day in all these years! Back then he told me that I was the only one in this life, but he couldn't do it at all!"
Yu Zhi fell silent. He is a man, but he can't really understand what the queen thinks.In his opinion, which powerful man doesn't have three wives and four concubines, how can he live with only one woman?
But thinking about it the other way around, if there were a lot of men outside his concubine Ji, he probably wouldn't be able to bear it.
"What should I do next?" He abandoned the topic just now and discussed the future.
"You just wait, as long as your father doesn't wake up, within three days, those ministers will advocate the establishment of a prince to supervise the country. You just need to stay here in peace and wait for them to come to invite you."
Yu Zhi heard the sound of his heart beating violently, and a burst of ecstasy welled up in his heart. Isn't his planning all these years just for this day?Unexpectedly, it came so fast!
"The Holy Majesty wanted to ask him about the arson. For some reason, the two quarreled. Ji'er has always been stubborn. No matter how much I tried to persuade the Holy Majesty, he refused to give in to the Holy Majesty. He even said a lot of unpleasant things. His Majesty vomited blood and fainted."
