Chapter 205: It's the Imperial Seal
"Empress, I am the biological mother of the Crown Prince, and I also have the power to assist in managing the six palaces. How is it an overstepping of authority for me to track down the thief now?" Concubine Zhao raised her chin slightly, her eyes full of pride.
"So what if you are the prince's biological mother? I am his legal mother, so what if you are a noble concubine or an imperial concubine? Without sitting on my throne, you are no different from those concubines to me, just a concubine." The queen handed the jade in her hand to the head nanny: "How dare a mere concubine come to Fengyi Palace and act rashly? It seems that I am too lenient with you."
When Concubine Zhao heard this, veins bulged on her forehead, but every word the Queen said made sense. She was just a concubine, and it was indeed an act of presumption to take someone away from the Queen. However, now that the Emperor was in a coma, this was the best opportunity to deal with the genius doctor Lingjun.
She would never allow anyone who posed a threat to her son's succession to the throne to live, and would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let one go.
After all, which emperor had a smooth journey to the throne?
Who doesn't step on the corpses of others to climb to the throne?
She looked at Wen Gang behind her. He understood what she meant and walked up to Shang Ruoyi: "Master Lingjun, please come with me."
A silver needle slipped into her hand. Just as she was about to make a move, the queen's majestic voice came: "Today, I will put my words here. Without the emperor's order, no one can take anyone away from Fengyi Palace. Anyone who violates this order will be considered treason."
After the words fell, no one dared to say another word.
If someone commits treason, all nine generations of his clan will be executed.
Shang Ruoyi curled the corners of her lips slightly. This queen seems to be quite good.
Concubine Zhao's face turned red, but she couldn't utter a word of rebuttal.
She turned around and was about to leave when she heard the queen say faintly, "You are becoming more and more ignorant of etiquette. You left before even seeing the courtesy. Who taught you the rules?"
Concubine Zhao had no choice but to perform the ceremony properly and only dared to leave after hearing the Queen's oral order to leave.
The servants and guards who came with her left in disgrace one by one.
Concubine Zhao returned to the palace, picked up something and started throwing it down.
"I'm so pissed off! I'm so pissed off!" She threw the vase to the ground, panting heavily, "How dare she humiliate me like this, relying on the fact that she's the queen? I'm the prince's biological mother, how dare she! How dare she!"
Bixi, who was standing by, consoled her: "My queen, please don't be angry. You have to look after the dragon in your belly!"
Concubine Zhao touched her belly and sneered, "Dragon child? Ha, I tried every possible means to finally get pregnant with a dragon fetus, but what's the result? The emperor just gave me a broken jade hairpin, and I ran to Concubine Shu with the jade bracelet, all wanting to compete with me. Why does everyone want to compete with me! Even if I have a broken dragon fetus, I can't beat that bitch Concubine Shu!"
She swept the teapot on the table to the ground, and the splashing tea fell on her shoes. The slightly scalding temperature slightly eased her out-of-control emotions.
"Your Majesty, no matter how angry you are, you must take care of your body. When the prince ascends the throne in the future, you will be the empress dowager in full legitimacy. The queen will not dare to do anything to you. But how you want to take revenge is up to you." Bixi's words made Concubine Zhao feel better.
Yes! When the new emperor ascends the throne, I will be the queen mother. When the time comes, how I want to torture her will be up to me, right?
Seeing that her mood had calmed down a lot, Bixi ordered the servants to come in and clean up.
At this time, Concubine Zhao said slowly: "What is the name of the fruit that the prince sent to me some time ago?"
"My lady, my name is Strawberry."
"Although it's a little sour, I really want to eat it now." She touched her still flat belly: "I guess it's because the child wants to eat it."
"Your Majesty, there is a folk rumor that 'sour boys and spicy girls', your baby might be a little prince!" Bixi naturally knew what Concubine Zhao wanted to hear.
"It would be great if he was a prince." She smiled and said, "Send someone to ask where else we can get this fruit called strawberry."
When the news that the emperor had fainted due to anger spread out of the palace, people in the court and the country were in panic, and those of the prince's lineage were secretly waiting for news.
In their view, if the emperor fell ill and could not get up, the prince would be able to take over the government and control the court in no time.
By then, it is unknown whether the emperor’s health can recover.
In fact, they actually hoped that Emperor Tianshun would die at this point.
He Lingsheng seemed extremely anxious on the surface, but in fact, the imperial physician and Dr. Jiang who treated the emperor were both members of the prince's party, and naturally did not want the emperor to recover.
At night, He Jingheng came to the side hall again. Shang Ruoyi asked in a low voice: "I see that you are idle all day long. What do you think this palace is? You can come and go as you please."
He Jingheng frowned and whispered, "Can you cure the emperor's illness?"
Shang Ruoyi just took a sip of tea and spat it all out: "Ahem, what did you say?"
Let her treat the emperor?
"The Emperor's illness."
"He has brought your Dingguo Palace to this point, and you are still thinking of saving him. Are you a Bodhisattva?"
He Jingheng sighed: "If he dies, the court will be in turmoil, and it might bring disaster."
"Disaster? What kind of disaster could it be?"
"When the late emperor dies and the prince ascends the throne, the Zhao family will rule the entire court. The prince is not strong enough to fight against the Zhao family. By then, the emperor will not be the emperor and the ministers will not be the ministers. With the interference of the foreign relatives in government, there will inevitably be chaos."
Shang Ruoyi drank the rest of the tea and curled her lips and said, "You are an exiled prisoner, and you still worry about the affairs of the royal family. When you were exiled to the Ding Palace, they showed no mercy and even wanted to put you to death."
"The monarch changed, the court was shaken, the world was in chaos, and the people suffered. We in the Dingguo Palace can ignore the emperor's life or death, but we can't put the people in dire straits." He Jingheng's face was stern, and he said seriously: "The Dingguo Palace is like a sharp sword, and it will never be wielded against the people."
Shang Ruoyi's heart was slightly shaken.
This sentence runs through her past life.
Because of this, she could better understand He Jingheng's feelings.
"Forget it." She took out a porcelain bottle: "Let someone give this to him, he will wake up soon." The porcelain bottle contained spiritual spring water.
When I thought about how Emperor Tianshun was so angry, I thought that maybe something among these treasures was extremely important.
She searched the space with her mind and a square box caught her attention.
When I opened it, I found a seal inside.
She blinked and asked awkwardly, "Um, a seal that is slightly larger than your fist, all golden, with a dragon on it. What is that seal?"
He Jingheng narrowed his eyes slightly: "Are you talking about the Imperial Seal?"
It was over. She actually stole the imperial seal.
