The Queen Mother's heart sank, but she said with a somewhat surprised tone: "That's it, then let Lao Qi go. State affairs are the most important thing. Whatever happens to the Ai family is fine."

Is this possible to prevent King Xian from meeting her? The Queen Mother snorted in her heart.

Emperor Mingde was relieved: "I will follow my mother's wishes and let Lao Qi go out today. My mother will rest first, and I will go to the imperial doctor to show my mother. My mother's body is the most important thing."

The Queen Mother said in her usual gentle voice: "Don't be tired, Your Majesty. Just leave these to the palace staff."

Emperor Mingde smiled and said, "I'm fine. I'm in my prime and in good health. There is also an imperial doctor who checks my pulse every day. I know what I'm doing, so I'll leave first."

The Queen Mother nodded: "Then go and get busy."

"Yes, Erchen retire."

After Emperor Mingde saluted the Queen Mother, he left the Cining Palace and asked the accompanying eunuch to go to the Imperial Hospital and call for an imperial doctor.

The poison he administered would make the Queen Mother weak at best, and they would only prescribe nourishing medicines to her. Drinking those nourishing decoctions would only make the Queen Mother weak and not be replenished, accelerating the onset of the poison. Wouldn't this be wrong? better.

Emperor Mingde was very happy. From now on, he would be able to truly take power and no longer be constrained by too much.

It's just that while he was happy, he ignored why the Queen Mother did not enter the palace with Dr. Xuanfeng and his daughter. If he had thought of this earlier, maybe things would turn around. If he ignored it today, there would be no room for change in the future.

In Cining Palace, as soon as the emperor left, King Xian came out from the screen at the back.

King Xian had arrived long before Feng Yunqing and had been hiding behind the screen.

He saw and listened to everything Feng Yunqing and Emperor Mingde said and did when they came here.

"Mother."

The Queen Mother glanced at him, pointed to the stool next to her and said, "Sit down and talk. You must have many questions in your mind. The Queen Mother must know that there are no words left unanswered."

The Queen Mother plans to depose Emperor Mingde and support her younger son to ascend to the throne. There are some things that she must let him know.

King Xian nodded and sat on the stool, waiting for the Queen Mother to answer his questions.

The Queen Mother did not hide it, she told King Xian that Fengyun Qing might be from Beiming Kingdom and wanted to abolish the Mingde Empire, and wanted to support King Xian to ascend the throne.

Prince Xian frowned after hearing this and shook his head: "Mother, at your age, I am used to being an idle prince who doesn't take care of things. I'm afraid your son will disappoint you with your plan."

Although Prince Xian held a blank imperial edict in his hand, it was used to preserve Prince Xian's palace and had no intention of deposing the emperor.

Once the emperor is deposed, it will have a great impact. Now the prince has not been established. When the prince seizes the throne, there will be another bloody storm. At that time, the court will be in turmoil, and Beiming Kingdom will take the opportunity to attack Dongchen Kingdom.

At that time, there were internal and external troubles, but the Dongchen Kingdom was still falling apart.

This can't be done.

Besides, he really has no intention of being an emperor, it would be nice to be a wealthy and idle prince.

However, everything has variables, and King Xian cannot predict it. He may not be able to feel at ease when he wants to.

The Queen Mother looked at Prince Xian with a heavy look: "Then you will watch your eldest sister and Prince Xian's palace being suppressed?"

"Even if the minister is in power there, it's not the same with the emperor brother..."

If not, will it be completely destroyed? If not, will blood flow like a river.

Although King Xian didn't say this, the Queen Mother understood, but what kind of person she was, her hands were stained with blood, no matter who's blood was there, including her relatives.So the Queen Mother didn't care at all. What she cared about was that the rights in her hands were being challenged, and her biological son's claws were reaching out to her to kill her. This was something she couldn't tolerate.

Moreover, this son was supported by himself with all his efforts.

"Then what are you going to do, just take it like this and not fight back?"

King Xian said helplessly: "What can I do with my son and minister? My son and minister are ministers, and my brother is the king. If the king wants his minister to die, he must die."

The Queen Mother rolled her eyes at him. This idiot had a blank imperial edict in his hand and didn't know how to use it.

She sighed, this son's temperament is too weak, and being soft-hearted sometimes is not a good thing and can become a weakness.

"Don't you have a blank piece of imperial edict in your hand? You don't know what to do with it. Is it wasted in vain?"

King Xian took a deep look at the Queen Mother and felt that the Queen Mother was so strange now. She did not care about the overall situation at all and only cared about the power in her hands.

Interests are in your heart, and power is also in your heart.

The former Queen Mother was not like this. She said that they should be brothers and sisters, and that the three of them should share weal and woe, support each other, and not turn against each other under any circumstances. That would make the relatives bitter and the enemies happy. Now, she But he let him destroy his own brother.

The current situation is still rooted in the Queen Mother. As long as she completely delegates power and no longer interferes with matters in the court, and all the power of the harem is delegated to the Queen, Emperor Mingde and his wife will not keep an eye on their mother and son. He and the eldest princess will not be targeted again.

The Queen Mother has been refusing to delegate power. Emperor Mingde must have thought that she had other ideas and it would be strange not to point the finger at their siblings.

One hand holds a heavy weapon, and the other holds a blank imperial edict. The two are like two swords hanging over Emperor Mingde's head. With the Queen Mother acting like this, can he feel at ease?

If it were him, he would also get rid of it.

But the Queen Mother still couldn't see through it, no, it wasn't that she couldn't see through it, but she was unwilling to do so. She didn't allow the son she was holding up with one hand to fight with her.

If the Queen Mother does not change her mind and another person becomes the emperor, the situation will remain the same. No emperor is willing to be a puppet.

Then King Xian stood up and said: "The blank imperial edict given by the father to the sons and ministers is intended to save the lives of the sons and ministers, and is not intended to be used by children to seek power and usurp the throne.

And the Queen Mother has not thought about what kind of turmoil the Dongchen Congress will face once the emperor is deposed?
The son hopes that the queen will focus on the overall situation. Personal desires are not important to the queen now. What is important is to have a good life, find more people to talk to, and move around more, so that she can live a long life.

And don’t give up on Feng. It will be your loss if you give up. "

King Xian paused and saluted the Queen Mother, and then said: "My son, it's time to go back. I'm afraid my brother will look for me later because I'm afraid he won't be able to find me. I'm going to leave. Please take care of your health, my queen mother."

After saying that, he turned around and left Cining Palace.

The Queen Mother was stunned on the spot, her mind filled with what King Xian had said.

After a long time, she took a deep breath and smiled bitterly. Unexpectedly, the thing she cared about most was only her own selfish desires in the eyes of her youngest son.

The Queen Mother felt her heart suffocating and felt very uncomfortable. She closed her eyes and thought in her mind, had she really done something wrong?

After Feng Yunqing left the palace, she did not return directly to Duke Anguo's mansion, but came to the medical clinic.

Since she had been sitting in the clinic for several days in a row, there were not many people coming to see the doctor now, and there were fewer patients with difficult and complicated diseases. An ordinary doctor could just treat her, so she thought about hiring a doctor to sit in the clinic and take time away from herself. Go out and do other things, and from now on you will only see patients with difficult and complicated diseases.
