Queen Song went to the imperial study to see the emperor.
It was the Emperor who summoned her, but the eunuch let her go without informing anyone.
Queen Song didn't expect that Xie Jingyan was in the imperial study and was accompanying the emperor to have the imperial meal.
Looking at this scene of loving father and filial son, Queen Song thought of her son who was forced to leave the capital. Her heart seemed to be tightly entangled by vines, making her feel a little breathless.
Under the phoenix robe, her neatly trimmed nails dug into her flesh without her noticing the pain.
The inexplicable uneasiness in my heart became even stronger when I saw Prince Ling.
She tried her best to suppress her uneasiness, stepped forward and bowed to the emperor, "I wonder why the emperor summoned me here...?"
Princess Shouchun needed to discuss marriage, so Queen Song came without thinking much.
It was not until Queen Song saw Xie Jingyan accompanying the Emperor to have the imperial meal that she realized something was wrong.
Her daughter's marriage was not so urgent, so there was no need for the emperor to call her to the meal. It would have been fine if they could just chat while eating, but the emperor had already started eating.
The emperor never does such a thing.
The more Queen Song thought about it, the more uneasy she became.
The emperor had almost finished eating, so he put down the ivory chopsticks in his hand and sat on the small couch.
After sitting down, he glanced at Xie Jingyan.
The emperor was full, but Xie Jingyan was not.
He eats his.
There were not many civil and military officials in the court who were qualified to accompany the emperor at meals. Those who did not do so carefully would follow suit as soon as the emperor put down his chopsticks, regardless of whether they were full or not.
Unlike Xie Jingyan, who summoned Queen Song to the imperial study in the name of the emperor and then left her alone, as if it was really the emperor who summoned Queen Song and it had nothing to do with him.
The emperor really wanted to know what his son was up to.
Seeing the emperor's eyes fall on Xie Jingyan, if her son had not committed a serious mistake, she would have accused Xie Jingyan of disrespecting the emperor. Now she was filled with anger, but she could only endure it.
If Xie Jingyan hadn't saved the eldest prince, how could they, mother and son, have fallen to this point? !
Empress Song could no longer bear it and called out, "Your Majesty?"
The emperor withdrew his gaze and said, "Shouchun is old enough to get married. It's time to arrange a marriage for her."
After saying this, the emperor frowned deeply.
He, as a father, was actually led by his own son.
However, Princess Shouchun has indeed reached the age to get married, and it is time to discuss this with the Queen.
Now that I have found this excuse, I might as well get it done.
Queen Song learned from Xiao Xizi that the emperor was looking for her about Princess Shouchun's marriage. On the way here, she thought about who would be the right person to marry her daughter. If it were in the past, she would have considered a marriage alliance to find support for Xie Jingyin, but now Xie Jingyin had no place to stay in Kyoto, let alone compete for the position of crown prince.
Now Queen Song only wants her daughter to marry a man of her dreams, but this wish has become difficult to achieve after Xie Jingyin murdered the eldest prince.
The son-in-law has no military power nor real power. Not many eldest sons of aristocratic families are willing to marry the princess, not to mention that he is dragged down by Xie Jingyin.
Queen Song asked, "Does the emperor have a favorite candidate?"
It would be strange if the emperor had any talent.
However, the emperor also knew that several ministers had unmarried sons, so he picked two who were suitable for Princess Shouchun, but Queen Song was not satisfied with either of them.
The second young master of Duke Wen's Mansion, although he was born of a legitimate wife, was the second legitimate son and could not even inherit the title. Moreover, Duke Wen's Mansion had declined in early years. Although it was a Duke's Mansion, it was not as prosperous as the Earl's Mansion, and it was just a nice name.
The emperor asked her to discuss the matter. Empress Song was dissatisfied and spoke in a gentle tone, fearing that she would make the emperor impatient and directly decide on Princess Shouchun's marriage.
As they were discussing, Queen Song suddenly felt itchy all over. She couldn't help scratching her arm. The itchiness seemed to be crawling out from the bottom of her heart.
Queen Song scratched it but it was not enough. She looked down and found several red rashes on the back of her hands, which scared her so much that her face turned pale.
Queen Song lifted up her phoenix robe, and her arms were covered with dense red rashes. She hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I don't know why I got the rash. I will take my leave first."
Xie Jingyan sat there eating the imperial meal and said, "Please ask the imperial physician to help the queen."
Eunuch Yuan hurriedly said, "Xiao Xizi, go and get the imperial physician."
Empress Song hurriedly said to the Emperor, "I don't know if this rash can be contagious. It won't be too late for me to go back to Fengyi Palace and see the imperial physician."
Without waiting for the emperor's agreement, Queen Song finished her words and left.
She had only taken two steps when something suddenly hit her ankle. She stumbled forward uncontrollably. The palace maid was unable to help her up, and Queen Song fell to the ground.
Eunuch Yuan’s eyes almost popped out of his head when he saw this scene.
Does Prince Ling not want to leave the palace alive today?
First, in front of the Emperor, she summoned the Queen to the Imperial Study under the guise of the Emperor. Now, in front of the Emperor, she hit the Queen's ankle with a silver ingot, causing her to fall and lose her composure.
And the Queen suddenly developed a rash, no doubt it was the work of Prince Ling.
Queen Song fell to the ground. She raised her hand and asked the palace maid to help her up. She didn't even bother to find fault with Xie Jingyan. She just wanted to return to her Fengyi Palace as soon as possible.
But she couldn't walk, so the palace maid helped her up, and Zhao Yuanzheng came with the medicine box.
It came so quickly that Eunuch Yuan was a little confused.
That's why he asked Xiao Xizi to go to the Imperial Hospital. Xiao Xizi had to fly there, and Zhao Yuanzheng wouldn't have come so quickly.
Was Zhao Yuanzheng also invited by Prince Ling?
This series of actions is definitely going to cause something big to happen.
Zhao Yuanzheng came into the imperial study. When she saw him, the color on Queen Song's face disappeared completely. Xie Jingyan said, "Hurry up and help the Queen sit down. Let Zhao Yuanzheng feel the Queen's pulse."
The maid's legs were shaking, and Queen Song could no longer stand. She looked at the emperor and said, "I will go to the side hall..."
This time, Xie Jingyan didn't need to speak. The emperor said, "It's not that complicated."
The maid was almost crying with fear. Seeing that she was not moving, Eunuch Yuan said, "Can you help the queen sit down quickly?!"
The palace maid gritted her teeth and helped the queen sit on the small couch.
Zhao Yuanzheng saw that Queen Song was pale, her hair was a little messy, and there were red rashes on her face, neck, and back of her hands. It was obvious that she was poisoned.
The palace has been getting more and more chaotic recently. At the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, someone dared to cause Princess Jin to have a miscarriage and pushed Princess Cheng into a well. Yesterday, Imperial Doctor He thought she had died suddenly, but he didn't expect that she was murdered. Today, the Queen was poisoned again...
Zhao Yuanzheng took out a small medicine pillow and asked Queen Song to put her wrist on it. The palace maid then put a handkerchief on her wrist, and then Zhao Yuanzheng took Queen Song's pulse.
After taking the pulse for a while, Zhao Yuanzheng stood up and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty. The Queen is pregnant and is two months pregnant."
Zhao Yuanzheng didn't think much about it. Since the queen was pregnant, it must be the emperor's.
But after he finished speaking, he saw that the emperor's face turned pale, and Zhao Yuanzheng was stunned.
Why does the emperor have such an expression?
Queen Song was pregnant and was poisoned, which caused her to have a rash. The emperor was worried about the fetus and it was normal for him to be angry. Zhao Yuanzheng added, "Although the queen was poisoned, the poison will not affect the fetus in her belly. Your Majesty, don't worry..."
When Zhao Yuanzheng said this, Eunuch Yuan couldn't help but wink at him.
Can't you see that Zhao Yuanzheng is so stupid? Can't you see that the emperor wants to kill someone?
Since Empress Song was put under house arrest, the Emperor has not stayed overnight in Fengyi Palace for more than three months. A few days ago, Empress Song repeatedly invited the Emperor, but the Emperor either refused to go or, when he finally went, the Empress Dowager had something to ask the Emperor and called him away as soon as he sat down.
The emperor never touched the queen again, but the queen became pregnant...
Zhao Yuanzheng didn't know who the emperor favored, but no one knew better than Eunuch Yuan.
Eunuch Yuan was standing behind the emperor and felt that the green light coming out from above the emperor's head was almost blinding his eyes.
The emperor's eyes were horrified, and he suppressed his voice and asked, "Are you sure you didn't take the pulse wrong? Is she two months pregnant?"
It was the first time that Zhao Yuanzheng's medical skills were questioned by the emperor in all the years he had worked at the Imperial Hospital. Zhao Yuanzheng said, "Any ordinary doctor can tell the difference. It can't be wrong."
The emperor's eyes swept across Queen Song like a knife.
The moment Queen Song said that she was pregnant, she knew she was doomed. She did not kneel down and beg for mercy. She felt cold all over and did not even have the strength to get up.
The emperor glanced at Eunuch Yuan, who then dragged Zhao Yuanzheng out and ordered him to keep his mouth shut.
Thinking that all the palace maids and eunuchs serving in the imperial study, except him, had been sent out by Prince Ling, Prince Ling had saved these people's lives.
The queen cheated on the emperor and got pregnant...
The Emperor would never allow someone who knew the truth to live, as even he would be in danger.
Eunuch Yuan wished that Prince Ling would kick him out as well. He didn't want to know about this.
