Queen's Development

Chapter 320 The new emperor ascends the throne
At this time, the sky is getting dark, everyone is in a dream, the guards in the inner palace are a little lax, and Ling concubine is in favor, and the eunuchs dare not stop her, so Ling concubine and a group of court ladies and eunuchs arrived without any hindrance Bibo Terrace.

Ma Tiancheng was guarding under the corridor of Bibo Terrace with two young eunuchs, when he suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps, he couldn't help being taken aback, and hurried over to have a look, only to find a snow-skinned and red-clothed beauty in the gray-blue morning mist. The women climbed up the stairs, followed by a group of court ladies and eunuchs, and they all came aggressively.

He hurriedly stepped forward and lowered his voice to accompany him with a smile: "Madam Ling, Your Majesty is currently at Bibo Terrace."

Concubine Ling climbed up the steps, stroked her tangled temple hair in the morning breeze, and smiled sweetly: "I know! I just came to see His Majesty!"

While talking, she carried Ma Tiancheng aside with her shoulders, and then entered the Bibo Terrace like a willow in the wind.

Ma Tiancheng stomped his feet, hurriedly chased after him, and said in a low voice: "Madam Ling, Your Majesty—"

Because Ling Concubine was favored, the court ladies and eunuchs around Ling Concubine were also very domineering, they pushed Ma Tiancheng aside, and followed Ling Concubine directly into the Bibo Terrace.

The Bibo Terrace was built on a small island in the middle of the lake, and the palace was mainly small and beautiful. The concubine went straight into the sleeping hall, walked quickly to the bed with fluttering white gauze, and tore off the silk gauze hanging from a high place.

At the same time when the crepe gauze fell to the ground, the bed was suddenly exposed, and a pair of naked men and women were stacked one on top of the other, and the big red brocade was thrown aside—on the top was Emperor Yongtai, and on the bottom was an extremely delicate and delicate woman. girl!

Emperor Yongtai was not on guard for a while, and was stunned there, and Jiang Fen under him was also frightened, and the whole person was entangled with Emperor Yongtai: "Your Majesty—"

Seeing this situation, Ling concubine was furious immediately, and immediately rushed forward, raised her hand and slapped Le Jiangfen's face with a "slap", swearing obscenities incessantly.

Emperor Yongtai and Jiang Fen had never seen such a fierce woman in this life, and they didn't react for a while.

While Ling concubine scolded, she rushed forward to tear Jiang Fen up.

Jiang Fen wrapped herself around Emperor Yongtai, but she was also scratched several times by concubine Ling on her back.

Emperor Yongtai was stupefied at the moment, looked up and saw the maid and eunuch kneeling on the ground in the dormitory, he was immediately ashamed and angry, and wanted to kick the concubine Ling away, but Jiang Fen clung to him tightly, and in a hurry he He simply covered Jiang Fen by himself, but concubine Ling slapped her on the back several times.

The concubine was tearing and cursing loudly, the little man actually had an extremely high-pitched and clear voice that shook the room.

Emperor Yongtai scolded in a deep voice: "Li Xianzi, you still don't get out! I will punish your nine clans!"

When the concubine heard this, she was really sad, and immediately burst into tears, tearing Jiang Fen while crying, and complained in her mouth: "Your Majesty, you should punish the nine clans of the ministers and concubines, and the concubines don't want to live anymore! You tonight You obviously summoned a concubine, but was called away by this foxy son, you don't want to think about the concubine's heart—"

Emperor Yongtai also felt ashamed when he heard this, and was about to appease the two women he loved, when he heard a rush of footsteps outside, mixed with the sound of weapons clashing, followed by Yu Yizhou's voice: " Your Majesty, are you alright!"

Yu Yizhou was on duty in the cabinet next to the hunting ground, and when he heard that there was something wrong with Bibo Terrace, he hurriedly brought Ye Chunshan to rescue him.

When the concubine heard the voice outside, she was also frightened for a moment, and threw herself on Emperor Yongtai with a cry.

Emperor Yongtai was caught off guard and fell onto the bed with Jiang Fen in his arms, and the three of them fell into a ball.

Yu Yizhou was always loyal, but there was no voice inside, so he was very worried, so he gave Ye Chunshan a wink.

Looking at the embarrassing situation around, Emperor Yongtai was ashamed to see people, and was about to speak to stop him, but he heard footsteps approaching from far away.

At this moment, Emperor Yongtai was lying on the bed, and when he looked up, he saw Yu Yizhou and Ye Chunshan rushing in.

Yu Yizhou and Ye Chunshan thought it was a maid who killed the king, but they were dumbfounded when they saw this glamorous scene as soon as they entered.

It was Yu Yizhou who reacted quickly, dragging Ye Chunshan out.

A moment later, Emperor Yongtai sat on the bed with a blank expression, Jiang Fen, whose face was half red and swollen, was on his left side, and the concubine Ling who was crying sadly lay on his right side, his mind was filled with mess.

Jiang Fen is a lady of every family. At this time, she came back to her senses, embarrassed and annoyed. She broke away from Emperor Yongtai and was about to get up. Unexpectedly, Ling concubine raised a leg and stopped him, Jiang Fen flew out, "Pfft" It fell to the floor with a bang.

Emperor Yongtai was about to help him, but found a line of blood winding down Jiang Fen's snow-white leg. He staggered to get up, but felt dizzy, and there seemed to be liquid dripping from the end of his nose, a little itchy
He fell backwards to the ground.

The concubine knelt on the bed and screamed, "Ah—"

Yu Yizhou was very efficient in his work. First, he settled down with Emperor Yongtai, and asked someone to call the imperial physician, and then ordered someone to send Jiang Meiren, who had miscarried, to the side hall for diagnosis and treatment by the female doctor.

The concubine Ling was imprisoned in Feiyan Pavilion waiting to be dealt with.

Several imperial physicians under the leadership of Jin Heming, director of the imperial hospital, diagnosed and treated Emperor Yongtai, while Ye Chunshan and Li Xiuzhen stood aside and refused to leave.

Yu Yizhou went out quietly with a lot of worries.

Lin Han, his confidant and servant of the Ministry of Officials, also went out with him.

Lin Han looked around and approached a boat, his voice was as thin as a gnat: "Master, His Highness is not in the city today, His Majesty is unconscious, it is a good opportunity"

Yu Yizhou frowned and glanced at Lin Han.

Lin Han hurriedly said: "Master, Your Highness is very ambitious. His so-called reforms, but he wants to knock out the bones of us people."

Yu Yizhou's heart moved, but after another thought, Ye Chunshan, the commander of the imperial army, and Li Xiu, the chief eunuch, were really Lin Jia's people, Qiu Yusheng, the general stationed outside the city, was Lin Jia's confidant, and Lin Jia's confidants were countless
After thinking about it, Yu Yizhou felt chills down his spine: It turned out that Lin Jia had already controlled the political situation in Dazhou without knowing it.
After taking a deep breath, Yu Yizhou said in a low voice: "Lin Han, you ride out of the city now, and go to the Canal Villa to invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to return to the palace to preside over the overall situation!"

Lin Han would say again: "Men——"

Yu Yizhou sternly said, "Hurry up!"

Lin Han answered "yes" and hurriedly turned around.

Looking at the rising sun in the east, Yu Yizhou felt a sense of sadness in his heart: Unknowingly, these old party members had become chess pieces in Lin Jia's hands, and Lin Jia was the one who played chess
After a moment of meditation, Yu Yizhou turned around and entered the hall.

After consultation with several imperial physicians, they all hesitated to speak.

Yu Yizhou was about to press for questions, but Ye Chunshan said, "Master Yu, why don't you ask His Highness to come back and preside over the overall situation!"

Zheng Jin Heming, the director of the Imperial Hospital, immediately said: "Lord Ye is right, His Majesty is in a special situation today, the officials and others must meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in person, and report to His Highness face to face!"

Yu Yizhou looked at Li Xiuzhen: "Director Li—"

Li Xiuzhen immediately said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty cannot leave our house."

He looked at Ye Chunshan: "Master Ye, I have to ask Brother Ling to go this way!"

In fact, Li Xiuzhen has already sent his cronies out of the city to the Canal Villa.

Although both he and Ye Chunshan belonged to Lin Jia, Li Xiuzhen was still afraid that something would happen here after he left, so he asked Ye Chunshan's younger brother Ye Chunlin to report.

Only then did Ye Chunshan say with emotion: "Actually, Chunlin has already set off for Canal Biezhuang to invite His Highness to come back!"

Hearing this, Yu Yizhou, Li Xiuzhen and Ye Chunshan all looked at each other and smiled, they were very harmonious.

Bibo Terrace was tightly blocked, but someone still ran out and sent the news to Jiang's Mansion.

Jiang Shulin was walking in the pine forest in front of the study in a white silk casual robe. When he heard the news, he was shocked and said anxiously: "Quick! Prepare your horse! I want to enter the palace to face the saint!"

He always thought that Emperor Yongtai was only in his 40s, and he would live at least another 20 years. These 20 years were enough for him to plan and plan, but he didn't expect Emperor Yongtai to fall so soon!
When changing clothes, Jiang Shulin remembered: "Go and ask the old lady to find a way to let the empress go to Bibotai!"

Seeing Jiang Shulin's pale complexion, the servant who delivered the message immediately answered "yes" and hurriedly sent the message.

Lin Jia received the news before dawn.

He nodded and told Li Rui: "Go and inform Mr. Liu on a flying horse, and take Mr. Liu into the palace to Bibotai!"

Li Rui answered "yes" and went to order himself.

Lin Jia's emotions had been successfully suppressed, and he continued to look at Ah Qing: "Go and tell Qiu Yusheng to come over!"

After Ah Qing left, Lin Jia told Ah Xuan: "You go and prepare the horse yourself, I want to enter the city as soon as possible."

After everything was arranged, Lin Jia felt uncomfortable.

He felt inexplicably uncomfortable, and his chest was extremely upset, but he knew that this was not the time to be impulsive, so he suppressed the irritability in his heart, turned around and went into the bedroom, gently pushed Yuzhi to wake him up, and said in a low voice: "Yuzhi, If something happened in the capital, you stay in Biezhuang with your children, and Bai Wenjin's soldiers are stationed outside Biezhuang, as long as you don't leave Biezhuang, nothing will happen."

Yuzhi's eyes were clear and she said "Mmm".

Seeing her staring at him with shining eyes, Lin Jia saw that A Yin was sleeping soundly beside her with arms and legs spread out, her heart felt soft, she leaned over to kiss her, and said in a low voice, "Wait for my news."

Yuzhi sat up and watched Lin Jia leave quickly.

After thinking for a while, Yuzhi also got out of bed.

She put down the brocade tent, and only then did the servant girl come in and start washing and dressing up.

After washing and dressing up, Yuzhi called Han Lin in, and ordered: "Go and let Li Hanxing come in!"

After Yuzhi made all the arrangements for the Canal Villa, the whole village was like a monolith, and a round of red sun burst out—a new day has arrived!

The entire hunting ground was surrounded by the imperial army under Ye Chunshan's command.

Yu Yizhou stood on the blue wave platform with his hands behind his back, watching the squadrons of imperial troops in full armor and holding weapons walking by the lake, feeling powerless in his heart that the building was about to collapse.

He sighed, and when he looked up, he saw a group of civil servants and generals leading a tall young man in a black satin cloak striding along the Jiuqu Bridge.

Yu Yizhou took a closer look, and saw that the man with phoenix eyes and red lips, with a handsome face, was the Crown Prince Lin Jia.

Knowing that the general situation was over, he immediately walked up to meet him, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, I have placed His Majesty in the Bibo Terrace sleeping hall!"

While talking, he stepped aside and asked Lin Jia to go first.

Lin Jia glanced at him and said lightly, "Master Yu, let's go together!"

Yu Yizhou was overjoyed, he immediately answered "yes", and followed Lin Jia respectfully to Bibo Terrace.

All the imperial physicians were discussing around the bed when Lin Jia came in and rushed forward to salute.

Seeing Emperor Yongtai lying stiff on the bed, Lin Jia's heart tightened, and she hurriedly ordered Mr. Liu: "Mr. Liu, go and have a look!"

Mr. Liu answered "yes" and walked up to see Emperor Yongtai with Yaotong.

Lin Jia then looked at the imperial physicians: "You have worked hard!"

All the imperial physicians said a few words of humility and waited by the side.

Lin Jia walked to the bed and saw Emperor Yongtai lying there motionless, with a sallow complexion and a bloody scab on the end of his nose, his heart sank, and he looked at Li Xiuzhen: "Let's go, go talk outside!"

Once outside, Lin Jia said, "What happened?"

Li Xiuzhen raised her eyes and looked around, seeing Yu Yizhou and Ye Chunshan were also there, so she hesitated slightly.

Lin Jia said in a deep voice, "It's okay, Lord Yu and Lord Ye are both Royal Father's confidantes!"

Only then did Li Xiuzhen tell the whole story.

Yu Yizhou listened for a while, and his face sank—as the chief assistant of the cabinet, Jiang Shulin was really shameless. Not only did he sacrifice his daughter for glory, but he also secretly gave His Majesty some secret medicine to cheer him up. where it goes!

Ye Chunshan bowed his head and remained silent, because it was so unbelievable that Emperor Yongtai would be so nonsense!

He sneaked a glance at Lin Jia, and secretly rejoiced: Fortunately, His Highness has always kept himself clean, otherwise, Da Zhou's luck would really be exhausted!
After waiting for a while, Lin Jia was a little anxious, so she went into the bedroom again.

Seeing that Mr. Liu was still being treated, he was about to walk over when he heard the voice of Jin Heming from the Grand Hospital: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has passed away!"

When Lin Jia heard this, her head became dizzy, her eyes went dark, and her body shook.

Li Rui and Li Xiuzhen were busy supporting Lin Jia from left to right.

Lin Jia tried her best to look at Mr. Liu: "Mr. Liu, father."

Mr. Liu bent down, turned around and knelt down: "Your Highness, Liu is incompetent, and His Majesty has passed away."

Jiang Shulin didn't wait for Empress Jiang, and then brought his people to Bibo Terrace, but was stopped by the forbidden army.

He was anxiously negotiating with the leader of the forbidden army, but he heard a burst of crying from Bibotai.

Jiang Shulin understood - Emperor Yongtai collapsed!

He said no more, turned and left.

Walking to the edge of the Green Maple Forest in the hunting ground, Jiang Shulin's expression was calm, and he said to the following boy: "Just wait a moment, I'll go to the Green Maple Forest for convenience!"

After all, he went into the woods without looking back.

When he reached the depths of the Green Maple Forest, Jiang Shulin took out the highly poisonous pill that he had prepared earlier, hesitated for a moment, put it in his mouth, and swallowed it.

After sending away the mother-in-law who sent the letter, Jiang Zhen returned to the bedroom and drove Li Chun and others out: "Leave me alone."

Seeing Jiang Zhen's expression was calm and normal, Li Chun obediently led all the maids and eunuchs out.

After a long time, seeing that there was no movement in the dormitory, Lichun was a little worried, so he quietly probed in to spy, but saw a person hanging on the top of the rosewood crabapple bed, which was Empress Jiang.

She screamed.

The crowd rushed in, and when they saw the scene in front of them, they were all frightened and froze there.

Among them was a female official named Mangzhong, who was a bit more courageous, and called two eunuchs to come forward, untied Queen Jiang, and put her on the Babu bed. It's cold, it's dead early.

Seeing that Lichun had collapsed on the ground, Mangzhong had to decide for himself, and ordered a clever little eunuch: "Go to Yutang Hall now, and find Director Li, and tell the empress to pass away."

Until the afternoon, Yuzhi had not received any news from the palace.

Both she and Lin Jia were fully prepared, so Yuzhi didn't panic at all.

It happened that Mrs. Lan brought Lan Feiyu over, and Yuzhi and Mrs. Lan were sitting on the porch doing needlework.

The nanny was playing with Lin Meng in her arms, while Lin Yin played cuju with Lan Feiyu and Shen Xiu in the courtyard. The courtyard was very peaceful.

Princess Pingcheng was bored and went to look for Turanya next door, but found that the yard next door was empty and there was no one there.

She was startled, and hurriedly took the servant girl into the main room, only to find that the room was also empty, with only furniture left in the room, as if no one had lived in it at all.

Looking at the empty house, Princess Pingcheng's heart was pounding, and she thought: Could it be that Bai Yuzhi found out that Tulanya seduced Lin Jia and killed Tulanya?
The more she thought about it, the more afraid she became, and the more afraid she became, the more she thought about it, her face turned pale and she helped the servant girl out.

The servant girl supported the Princess Pingcheng, and said in a low voice: "Liangyuan, this servant girl will help you back home!"

Princess Pingcheng looked at the servant girl, only to realize that she did not bring this servant girl from Liao Kingdom, she became even more frightened, and hurriedly said: "I can walk by myself!"

She shook off the servant girl vigorously, and Fei Yeruo walked towards her yard until the servant girl she brought from the Liao Kingdom greeted her. Then Princess Pingcheng relaxed, threw herself into the servant girl's arms, and murmured: "I want to go back to Pingcheng"

In the evening, Yuzhi finally saw Li Rui who had come back to pass the letter, and learned the news of Emperor Yongtai's death.

Yuzhi was stunned for a moment, she couldn't believe her ears—Emperor Yongtai was only in his 40s, and he was in his prime, how could he suddenly pass away?

Then she thought of Lin Jia again—Lin Jia must be very sad, right?
Thinking of this, Yuzhi had an idea in her heart, and said in a deep voice: "Li Rui, take someone to escort me and Ayin Ameng into the palace!"

Tall curtains were hung in Yutang Hall, inside the tent was the bed of Emperor Yongtai, and on the tall table outside the tent were placed ritual vessels and sacrifices.

Lin Jia led Lin Meng, Lin Yin and the officials to kneel on both sides of the Qinghu, her eyelids were red and swollen, and her phoenix eyes were full of tears.

The new emperor grieved silently, and the officials did not dare to cry, and they all lay down on the straw mat and wept silently.

Two months later, Lin Jia officially ascended the throne as emperor, canonized Bai Yuzhi as the empress, and Lin Yin, the eldest son of the White Queen, was crown prince.
