The Lady's Code for Raising Her Husband

Zhou Hongjie was right. If he was deposed, the Queen Mother could support her other son, King Chu, to ascend the throne, and she would still be the Queen Mother by then. The prince thought, his back dripping with cold sweat. He no longer dared to think too much, and quickly asked Liang Guodong to go to the prison to arrange for Jiang Jie to hand over the antidote before sending him on his way.

Zhou Hongjie arranged a way out before settling the account for their frame-up of Hua Zixu: "It must be Jiang Jie who instigated His Highness to make a fuss about the Life-Sustaining Pill? It turns out that Your Highness wanted to frame Hua Zixu, no wonder he excluded me. , don’t let me know.”

The so-called winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Now that the prince's frame-up has failed, it is useless to say anything. He has no choice but to let Zhou Hongjie vent and then defend himself: "This king has no other solution. Who makes us unable to find it?" Where is the little prince?"

After all, he will rely on the prince for glory and wealth in the future. Seeing that he gave in, Zhou Hongjie gave up and said, "Have you ever thought about it, your highness? Now that the emperor is alive and well, the little prince is still not found, and everything is back to where it started. But, But we have offended Hua Zixu, what should we do in the future?"

In the long run, nothing could be worse than this. As long as the emperor is still alive, he will return to Hua Zixu as always, but they offended Hua Zixu. From now on, there will be wolves in front of them and tigers behind them. How will they survive in the cracks? He is probably the most difficult and useless prince in the history of Daxi, right?

The prince finally fell into a deep panic and covered his face with his hands.

Are you now realizing the real problem? If he hadn't arrived, would he still be chatting with Liang Guodong? Zhou Hongjie shook his head and sighed, saying: "I have an idea here. Maybe I can bring Hua Zixu back. Even if I can't bring him back, at least I won't let him seek refuge with King Yingchuan and Princess Yingchuan."

The prince's eyes lit up: "What can I do? Tell me quickly."

Zhou Hongjie leaned into the prince's ear and whispered a few words. The prince nodded repeatedly.

----------------When the Queen Mother returned to Cining Palace, she lay down on the imperial concubine's couch as if all her strength had been taken away.

Aunt Ren took a pair of beauty hammers, knelt down at the end of the couch, and beat her legs gently and gently: "Second Miss Xie has been saved, isn't it? Why is the Queen Mother still depressed and unhappy?"

The Queen Mother sighed deeply and said: "Why did Old Dou teach my granddaughter to be like this? Today the Ai family forced her to protect her. I believe that both the King of Yingchuan and the prince saw it, and secretly they didn't know how to figure out the relationship between the Ai family and her. relationship."

Aunt Ren joked and reassured her: "You already said she is your granddaughter, how can Mrs. Dou teach her? It is the Xie family's responsibility to teach Second Miss Xie."

"That's also because he didn't teach Miss Xie Er's mother well." The Queen Mother covered her face as she spoke, "You can't blame him, it's the Ai family's fault."

"It's not your fault, it's fate." Madam Ren continued to forgive her, "But fortunately, Miss Xie Er is a woman. Even if you protect her, she will not be a threat to anyone. Prince Yingchuan and The prince will not care about this."

Speaking of King Yingchuan and the Crown Prince, the Queen Mother slowly sat up: "Today, King Yingchuan and the Crown Prince have a bad attitude towards Zi Yan. Let's talk about King Yingchuan first. He probably guessed that the Ai family is determined to protect Zi Yan. Zi Yan, so he excused her from the beginning. You know, he has a grudge against Zi Yan, so he would definitely not do this if he had no other purpose."

Madam Ren said: "The purpose of King Yingchuan is simply to get Mr. Jiang to be convicted. But I believe in the character of King Yingchuan. He is sure that the person who murdered the emperor is Mr. Jiang, so it is definitely Mr. Jiang who did this. .”

The Queen Mother nodded slowly: "The Ai family also believes in King Yingchuan, so the Crown Prince has even more problems."

Aunt Ren was stunned: "Why does His Highness have a problem? Because he gave the Emperor the Life-Sustaining Pill? But it was requested by the Emperor himself, and the Prince took out the Life-Sustaining Pill in front of the Emperor."

"It's not because of this that the Ai family suspected him." The Queen Mother said, "In any case, Zi Yan is guilty of poisoning. Why didn't the prince insist on arresting her? Also, the prince had already broken up with King Yingchuan. , Today Yingchuan Wangbao Ziyan, according to his personality, will definitely object, but he didn’t say anything, as if he was afraid of something. "

"Perhaps it's because His Highness the Crown Prince also saw that you wanted to protect the Second Miss?" said Aunt Ren.

"It's impossible. With his brain, he can't think of going to that level." The Queen Mother said with absolute certainty. There was another reason why she was so sure. Although Jiang Jie was above the court and had never been related to the prince, she knew very well that Jiang Jie belonged to the prince.

So, was it the prince's instruction for Jiang Jie to poison the emperor?

The royal family has never had family ties. There are many princes who have tried to murder their father. This is not impossible.

But she had no conclusive evidence, so she couldn't suggest that the emperor depose the prince based on suspicion. The Queen Mother felt confused, covered her eyes with her hands, and lay down again.

As soon as she lay down, a chamberlain came to report: "Your Majesty, Mr. Jiang committed suicide in prison out of fear of crime. The minister of Dali Temple found a packet of medicinal powder from his body. He suspected that it was the emperor's antidote and specially ordered it to be delivered. "

Antidote? The Queen Mother immediately sat up: "Quick, please tell Princess Yingchuan to enter the palace!"

After Ye Yuxiao received the order to enter the palace, he quickly went out and mounted his horse and went straight to Cining Palace.

She, Du An, and Chen Ping'an checked the powder together and were sure it was the antidote. The queen mother immediately ordered her to mix the medicine with water and fed it to the emperor.

After all, it was a symptomatic antidote. The emperor quickly detoxified and returned to normal. However, after this torment, his body became even more weak. He probably would not be able to get out of bed until he lay down for ten days and a half.

Hua Zixu stayed by the emperor's side and helped him take a life-sustaining pill before leaving the palace and returning to his residence on East Street.

This small house is now the cell where Xie Ziyan is imprisoned. There were officers and soldiers guarding the house outside, and a nanny inside the house.

Xie Ziyan was shackled and sitting in the yard in a daze, wondering what she was thinking.

Hua Zixu gave the guarding nanny some money and asked to go in to visit Xie Ziyan.

The emperor is now awake, his charges have been cleared, and he has become a popular figure in front of the emperor again. Naturally, mama did not dare to stop him and let him in.

Hua Zixu walked to sit opposite Xie Ziyan, staring at her gloomily without saying a word.

Xie Ziyan felt guilty when he saw it, and murmured to defend herself: "I really didn't know those pills were for the emperor."

"Are those pills mine?" Hua Zixu asked.

"Yes..." Xie Ziyan nodded.

Although in Qianxi Palace today, Hua Zixu lied that she was the one who made the poisonous pills, in fact they both knew that all the pills were made by Hua Zixu.

"So, you knew the pill was mine, but you also injected poison into it?" Hua Zixu said coldly, "I believe your original intention was not to murder the emperor. However, you clearly wanted to frame me. This Am I right?"
