Chapter 71: The Medicine Is Poisonous

"Why are you crying? The Ai family is not dead!" The Queen Mother suddenly opened her eyes and said faintly.

"Ah!" When Eunuch Su saw the Queen Mother suddenly speaking, he was so frightened that he fell to the ground. But after a closer look, he saw that the Queen Mother was still coughing and was indeed not dead. Then he breathed a sigh of relief. He was really scared to death!

"Queen Mother, you're fine, I'm so worried!" Eunuch Su is indeed an old man in the palace. He quickly apologized when he saw that the Queen Mother looked bad.

"Queen Mother, this is the medicine that I secretly asked for from the Imperial Hospital. Drink it quickly." At this moment, a palace maid ran in in a panic. When everyone heard that there was medicine, they were very happy. Since the Queen Mother

After falling ill, there has been no imperial doctor in Shoukang Palace. It’s not that there are no imperial doctors, but some of those imperial doctors have seen that the power of the Queen Mother and the Duanmu family has gone, so they have attached themselves to King Han, and some of them are not as timid as mice for fear of offending Han.

The king has a grudge against the Queen Mother. Anyway, whoever helps the Queen Mother at this juncture is seeking death!

This time we finally got the medicine, and everyone was very excited. They all advised, "Queen Mother, drink it quickly!"

"Yes, drink it while it's hot!"

The Queen Mother was very excited when she heard the news. She seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw. She immediately asked Eunuch Su to help her up. She took the bowl from the maid's hand with trembling hands. She put the bowl down just as it was brought to her mouth. The Queen Mother carefully

After taking a look at the palace maid in front of me, she seemed to have never seen her before. Why should she be given medicine for no reason?

"Which palace are you a maid? Why have the Ai family never seen you?" The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes and looked at her suspiciously, with a kind smile on her lips.

I saw the palace maid calmly saying, "Back to the Queen Mother, I am the palace maid from the imperial dining room. Last time I came to Shoukang Palace to deliver food, you saw that I was so thin. You felt sorry for me, so you gave me a bowl of bird's nest porridge."

I am very grateful and have been looking for opportunities to repay you. I heard that you fell ill a few days ago and there was no imperial doctor to treat you, so I have been looking for opportunities to secretly go to the imperial pharmacy to steal some medicinal materials and stew them into a soup for you.

"The palace maid cried while talking, as if that was really the case.

The Queen Mother thought about it carefully, she usually liked to give some food to the palace maids, but she didn't pity them, it was just that she was tired of eating the food, and she was afraid of spreading it out. The ministers said that she was extravagant and wasteful, and she did not care about the emperor's reputation.

Okay, so I’ll give the ones she doesn’t like to eat to the servants. So it’s possible that she can’t remember there are so many people.

However, after all, the Queen Mother had experienced great storms and had to go through a lot of hardships to get to this position. In addition, she was somewhat suspicious by nature, so she still felt that something was wrong.

"Go, bring the silver needle!" The Queen Mother ordered Eunuch Su next to her. The palace maid lowered her head, a cold light flashed in her eyes. She was really an old fox, so difficult to deal with, but fortunately, the prince was prepared and calculated accurately.

Since she knew how to test poison with a silver needle, she had already been told to put the spoon on the tray in the poison and cook it for three days and three nights. The spoon was now soaked with poison.

Sure enough, Eunuch Su's test showed that there was no poison. The Queen Mother was relieved. She smiled and helped the maid up, with a gleam in her eyes, "Humph! Long Yuhan, you let the Ai family die, but the Ai family wants to live! The green mountains left behind.

Here, I’m not afraid of running out of firewood.”

"Haha... do you think the prince will let you keep Qingshan?" The palace maid sneered in her heart, but there was an innocent smile on her face.

"Queen Mother, please let me help you take medicine!"

"Okay..." The Queen Mother smiled and nodded.

The palace maid took the medicine, picked up the spoon from the tray, stirred it in the bowl, blew on the hot air, and fed the soup into the queen mother's mouth one by one. After eating the medicine, the queen mother lay down to rest.

He took the bowl and went out.

Half an hour later, Eunuch Su saw that the Queen Mother was asleep and was about to leave the palace when the Queen Mother suddenly covered her chest and spit out blood, her lips turned purple and her face turned pale.

Eunuch Su was so frightened that he quickly supported the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, what's wrong with you! Don't scare me!"

"The medicine... is poisonous..." The Queen Mother fell down after saying these four words, her eyes widening with deep hatred and unwillingness.

Eunuch Su tremblingly stretched out his hand to detect the Queen Mother's breath, but found that there was no breath at all. He was so frightened that he quickly retracted his hand and shouted, "It's not good! The Queen Mother has passed away..."

With a heavy bell ringing, a sheet of snow filled the palace, and the sky was filled with crows chirping and circling.

A notice was posted on the tower outside the palace wall that the Queen Mother had passed away. It was written in black and white, indicating that the country would soon change hands.

At the funeral ceremony, there was a lot of mourning. The maids, eunuchs, and ministers all lowered their heads and sobbed softly. They didn't know which of the tears were true and which were false. Only the little emperor, who was only six or seven years old, knelt down.

It was heartbreaking to cry in front of the Queen Mother’s spirit.

"Mother, please don't leave me... Che'er will be obedient and be a good emperor in the future, ugh..."

It's a pity that no one in the hall took pity on this child who cried so sadly and despairingly that he lost his mother at such a young age.

Liu Zhili was once named Princess Hechang by the Queen Mother, and she was also regarded as the Queen Mother's daughter. Naturally, she was invited to attend the funeral and saw all this. She suddenly felt a little sorry for this child. She could go regardless of everything.

Help him cure his mother, but she can't do it for Xiaoya and Long Yuhan.

Even though she knew that as a doctor, she must have the medical ethics of saving lives and healing the wounded, and could not ignore death, but she also had her own helplessness. After all, she was selfish for once.

King Han is the only person in Langyue Kingdom who has the ability and qualifications to preside over the ceremony. When King Han finishes his speech and the ceremony is about to end,

Prime Minister Zhang stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the country cannot live without a king for a day. Now that the Queen Mother has passed away from illness, the Emperor is still young and cannot take on such an important responsibility. There are many important military and state affairs waiting to be dealt with. Your Majesty, you have high moral character and high prestige. You have fought in battles for many years."

On the battlefield, he has made a lot of contributions to the establishment of Longyue Kingdom and won the hearts of the people. I sincerely ask the prince to be the new king of our Langyue Kingdom!" After saying this, he knelt on the ground with a "plop". Seeing the situation, all the ministers knelt down one after another and gathered together.

He responded harmoniously, "Please, Your Majesty, be the new king of our Langyue Kingdom!"

Naturally, all this was arranged secretly by Long Yuhan. He has been running around these days just to bribe and win over those ministers who are unwilling to rely on him. Now everything is under his control.

"Ministers, please call me. It is my honor to serve the Langyue Kingdom. However, the Queen Mother has just passed away. I am so sad that I have no time to think about these things. Moreover, I have always only wanted to be loyal to the emperor and never dared to covet the throne.
