Chapter 229 Who will be the queen?
Xia Qian and Su Peisheng were greatly shocked, but they dared not say much and could only express their loyalty with silence.
They didn't dare to agree. What if the emperor changed his mind later and brought up old issues?
I didn't dare to speak out to persuade him, because the emperor must be very angry at that time, and whoever tried to persuade him would be in trouble.
Besides, how could they possibly persuade the emperor?
Letting the queen die of illness was also a decision made by Yongzheng after weighing the pros and cons.
Let her die of illness instead of being deposed, this will also stop the condemnation from people all over the world.
He is not the original fat orange boy, and he will not do anything to humiliate the royal family just because he wants to avenge Chunyuan.
Once he proposed to depose the queen, those pedantic ministers would definitely ask him to explain the reasons.
In this way, the bad things Yixiu did can no longer be hidden!
It is better for her to die of illness, and let her stay in bed, which can be regarded as atonement for the mistakes she made.
After the decision was made, the Guillotines immediately went to implement it.
As the top secret security agency of the dynasty, the professionalism of the Flying Guillotine is unquestionable.
Although poisoning the queen was a rare act, they still carried it out meticulously.
So when Yixiu woke up the next day, she felt a splitting headache.
I was woken up by the pain.
"Jianqiu! Jianqiu! My head hurts so much..."
"Imperial Physician...Go and call the Imperial Physician..."
Even when she said the latter sentence, her voice was weak.
This frightened Jianqiu, and she hurriedly asked the palace maid to call the imperial physician.
She ran to the bed, thinking of giving the empress a massage to relieve some of the pain.
Today's greetings were simply cancelled, as the news that the queen was too ill to get out of bed spread throughout the six palaces in an instant.
Most people are gloating over other people's misfortunes, so they don't have to say hello and can sleep a little longer.
In the Yongshou Palace.
After learning that she didn't need to pay respects today, Bai Zhi decided not to wake Luo Yao up.
When Luo Yao woke up, she opened her eyes and found that the sun was already high in the sky.
"Huh? What's going on?"
Rubbing his confused head, Luo Yao sat up from the bed.
It is worth mentioning that since the two little ones started school, no one has to wake her up every morning anymore!
That’s why Luoyao can sleep for so long.
Jinxi, who was outside the house, heard the sound and hurried in.
"Your Majesty is awake. Do you want to have dinner later? The small kitchen is preparing it."
Luo Yao nodded.
"Help me wash up first."
After she finished washing up, she learned from Jinxi what happened in the morning.
"So, you're saying that the Queen has had a headache and can't get out of bed now?"
While combing her hair, Jinxi replied:
"Yes, Madam, the imperial doctors haven't come out of Jingren Palace yet, and half of the Imperial Hospital staff have gone there.
This shows how serious the Queen's condition is this time."
In Jinxi's opinion, it was just the Queen's bad luck.
But Luo Yao felt that this illness was strange.
I guess by this time, the Flying Guillotine has almost finished the investigation.
Then Yixiu’s sudden illness would make sense.
"Tell the people below to keep an eye on Hongyi and Hongqing."
In order to prevent Yixiu from noticing anything and starting to do something desperate.
"Yes, ma'am."
Jinxi took the order and withdrew.
The more she looked at the empress becoming more and more majestic, the more fortunate she felt for her original choice.
Fortunately, fortunately she took a gamble.
If he had stayed in Shuiyuxuan, how could he have achieved his current status?
Jinxi sighed in her heart as the person had already come outside.
In a blink of an eye, another month has passed.
Originally everyone thought that the queen's headache was only temporary.
But I didn't expect that her illness would become more serious day by day.
There are rumors that the Queen is terminally ill.
The person who was most happy to hear the news was Concubine Hua.
In Yikun Palace.
Nian Shilan leaned on the couch with a smile on her face, obviously in a good mood.
Songzhi had just reported to her the news about the Queen.
The more she learned about the queen's miserable condition, the happier she was.
At this time Zhou Ninghai came in from outside.
"My lady, there is a letter from General Nian."
As he said this, he took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it over.
Nian Shilan's smile faded, she opened the envelope and began to read.
The content of the letter was very brief, in which Nian Gengyao implicitly asked her if she had any further plans.
If there is, everyone in the Nian family is ready!
Nian Shilan sighed.
She naturally wanted to go a step further.
But will the emperor agree?
Before, she felt that she was deeply loved and her brother was also highly regarded by the emperor, and they were simply a family.
At that time, she felt that the throne of queen would be hers sooner or later.
But now that she is not in the situation, she can see it clearly.
The emperor will never allow himself to sit on the throne, unless...
Unless the Nian family is defeated and his brother dies in battle, he might have some chances.
This is because of the emperor's love for the Nian family and his own guilt.
But there is still little hope, because he still has one true love.
Concubine Chen!
Even though the other party had no family support and came from a very humble background.
But as long as the emperor is willing, these are not a problem.
Nian Shilan had the intention of competing for it.
But this ambition was limited after thinking about the hundreds of people in the Nian family.
It went out again.
At that time, I wanted to have a baby, but since the miscarriage, there has been no sign of pregnancy.
So now that she wants to be queen, what does she have to lose?
She was really scared, and her pride was completely wiped out when facing life and death.
After thinking for a long time, she wrote back to Nian Gengyao.
There was only one word in the letter: No!
Less than half a month later, news of the queen's death spread in the palace.
Before dying, Yixiu thought a lot.
In fact, she had already noticed the strangeness of her illness.
But the entire Jingren Palace had already been secretly monitored, and whatever she wanted to do was useless.
And during the days when she was sick, the emperor never came to see her once.
This already explains the problem.
With reluctance and regret, Yixiu finally closed her eyes.
When the Empress passed away, the entire Forbidden City was covered in white.
What followed was a cumbersome memorial service.
Even though he had suffered torture once before when the Queen Mother died.
Now it happens again, Luo Yao still wants to curse!
She wanted to use something to hang up herself.
It's better than kneeling here and crying.
Unfortunately, there is no such thing in the system mall, so I can only bear with it.
Compared to her, Nian Shilan cried more hard.
Moreover, she has always been at odds with the Queen, and now she is hypocritically forcing me to cry for the dead.
I don't know how upset I am.
After this comparison, Luo Yao felt much better.
Only one month after the queen's death, some ministers in the court raised the topic of appointing a new queen.
In the Golden Palace, a group of ministers were arguing fiercely.
"I believe that Empress Hua has been managing the six palaces for many years and has long been qualified to be the queen!"
"No, no, Concubine Hua has no children, so Concubine Chen is more suitable. The Sixth Prince is extremely intelligent and is a good candidate for the Crown Prince!"
"Lord Li is wrong. The emperor is now in his prime, so why worry about not having children? The concubine is of a humble origin and is not worthy of the title of the Queen Mother."
"I think it's better to start with the talent show. The Tong family has a legitimate daughter who is sixteen years old..."
