Rebirth of the Second Young Master of the Ren Family

Chapter 60

The queen mother dispatched her staff as soon as she heard the information from Pingting.On the one hand, she went to investigate the movement of the Imperial Hospital recently, and on the other hand, she sent people to Zezhou to investigate what happened to the emperor in Zezhou a few months ago; while she herself began to focus on the emperor who came to pay her respects every day.

Soon, all parties responded.

According to the imperial physician, the medicine juice delivered to the Hall of Mental Cultivation in recent days is very secret, and it took him a lot of effort to obtain the leftover medicine residue.After research, the imperial physician couldn't tell what the formula was used for, but there were indeed several drugs used to detoxify it. The imperial physician guessed that it was used to detoxify some kind of rare poison.

The spies sent to Zezhou also reported that the emperor kept a tight lid on what happened in Zezhou, but for a long time after the day of peace talks, a large-scale search was carried out along the coast.

Coupled with the Queen Mother's own observation, Xiao Tianhong's complexion didn't look serious, but he would always frown when no one was paying attention, with a look of enduring pain.As a result, the queen mother, who had fallen into the thinking of "neighbor stealing the axe", felt more and more that the emperor was covering it up.

In fact, the queen mother's heart is not very big.She is already the most honorable woman in the world, so what is there to be dissatisfied with?However, she had to think about her family. She hoped that her descendants of the Zheng family would be one of the most prominent surnames in Middle-Earth after a hundred years or even a thousand years.Therefore, she wanted Zheng Wan'er to be the queen, to continue the glory of the Zheng family.

However, it is different now.An opportunity suddenly appeared in front of him. The emperor was poisoned and had reached the point where he needed people from the Sacred Valley of Medicine to take care of him day and night. Time must be running out.Today's Emperor Tianren has no heirs, so who will the imperial power of the Hua Kingdom fall into?

Of course, the premise of all this is: Xiao Tianhong must die.

But how to let him die?

With her strength, it is impossible for her to usurp power and seize the throne openly, and force the palace to rebel. What she needs is the "natural death" of the emperor.

The best and fastest way, of course, is to make the poison he is poisoned completely incurable.Then, the doctor who treated him could not stay.Unfortunately, the Hall of Mental Cultivation is like an iron bucket, and the Empress Dowager has no way to control the doctor who stays behind closed doors.Therefore, there is only one way left: pure concubine.

The queen mother believed that Concubine Chun would not be so stupid as to tell the emperor. She told the queen mother the truth, because it would be a deadly move.Therefore, the Queen Mother tried to draw Concubine Chun to her side, but she realized that things were not that simple at the beginning.

—No chips to take.

All of Concubine Chun's family members are in Zezhou, which is out of the reach of the Queen Mother.Therefore, Concubine Chun was alone in Bianjing, so she had nothing to worry about.This made the queen mother feel a little depressed.

Blocked by her that day, Concubine Chun revealed a little bit of inside information in order to protect herself, which should be the limit.Want to instigate against the emperor's concubine and poison the emperor?That is really unlikely.After all, the concubine's life is closely tied to the emperor. If the emperor dies, what will the concubine get?And this pure concubine is just so useless, if she threatens her with her life, it will be counterproductive.In this way, the Queen Mother really has nothing to do.

It's not that they haven't thought about changing the medicinal materials secretly, but with the descendants of the Sacred Valley of Medicine in charge, these methods are simply not feasible.The doctor can't get rid of it, the inside line can't get in, and the queen mother can't do anything.

Just as helpless as the Queen Mother, there is Taifu Zheng.

He has already received a message from his sister, knowing the situation in the palace, but he can't do anything about it.Above the court hall, His Majesty looked completely normal, how could he appear to be deeply poisoned?Although he is a grand tutor and His Majesty respects him, he still has no way to break into the Hall of Mental Cultivation and find out that doctor from the Sacred Valley of Medicine!

How could such a great opportunity be wasted!If there is any further delay and the emperor's poison is completely cured, such an opportunity will never exist again!

Walking around the house restlessly, Taifu Zheng looked at his confidant on one side, frowned and said, "Mr. Zhen, do you have any good ideas?"

"Master Taifu, I do have them, but I don't know if you trust me, Taifu." The young man named Mr. Zhen got up and bowed, and said indifferently.

Taifu Zheng was a little embarrassed when he heard the words, knowing that he did make a mistake last time.He was very excited when he suddenly got the evidence that Ren Fengjiang was in collusion with Zeguo.But at that time, Mr. Zhen suggested that he should not submit this evidence to the emperor prematurely, but to observe the emperor's attitude towards the Ren family.

But Zheng Taifu was too impatient. He believed that before His Majesty ascended the throne, he had served as the Prince and Taifu for many years, and he understood His Majesty's fear of the Ren family, so he wanted to make a great contribution because of this, and he also believed that the emperor must not Will let the Ren family go.

If the Ren family rebelled because of this, then the Zheng family would be able to benefit from the two tigers fighting; if the Ren family was captured without a fight, then the Zheng family had great confidence in controlling the military power in the Zezhou area.Therefore, no matter how you calculate it, the Zheng family will benefit the most.

But what I didn't expect was that His Majesty didn't respond when the memorandum was presented.This made Taifu Zheng completely confused. What does His Majesty mean?Did he refuse to scare the snake away and wanted to observe the Ren family again, or did he have some secret plan?

It wasn't until the censor who was instructed by Zheng Taifu to write a letter was dismissed by His Majesty a few days later, that Zheng Taifu suddenly realized: Your Majesty intends to keep the family at all!Thinking of this, I immediately broke into a cold sweat, and I was glad in my heart: Fortunately, I listened to Mr. Zhen's words at the last moment, and the Zheng family didn't personally present the memorial, so I barely left it clean.

"Mr. Zhen, it's okay to say, of course I believe you." Taifu Zheng said with a laugh.

"Okay, then I won't refuse. I have a plan..." Mr. Zhen explained the plan softly.

"This..." Taifu Zheng became more and more shocked as he heard this, with a look of unbearable expression on his face.

"Teacher Zheng, great things need to be informal." Mr. Zhen said meaningfully.

"But, after all, this is too cruel..." Taifu Zheng has been familiar with the classics of saints since he was a child, and he really can't adapt to such a strategy of destroying conscience.

Mr. Zhen frowned secretly, dissatisfied with his ruthless style in his heart, but he was very earnest on his face: "Master Tai Tuo, this is a necessary sacrifice, if you can't give it up, then I can only say that if we disagree, we will not seek each other. "

"No, Mr. Zhen..." Taifu Zheng knew very well that although Mr. Zhen was young, he was indeed a man with a deep heart and full of scheming, so he would not let him go.

"Hey, let me think about it again..." Taifu Zheng sighed wearily, but his tone was not as firm as before.

Mr. Zhen nodded in satisfaction, but already sneered in his heart:

An ignorant woman, a sour old man, still trying to seek power and usurp the throne?What a wishful thinking!

Leaning lazily on the imperial concubine's couch, her gaze was unfocused on the dead tree outside the window.It's obviously withered and yellow, and all the green on the branches has disappeared, why do they still exist here to show their bleakness, which is futile and annoying?

The palms placed beside her were tightened, and Pingting called out, "Xinghong."

"Your Majesty, what are your orders?" Xing Hong, who was guarding the door, responded immediately, pushed the door open and walked in front of her.

"Get someone to cut down these useless trees by the door!" Pingting looked at the dead trees coldly, as if she had some deep hatred for them.

"Niang Niang?" Xing Hong followed her for a while, so she was naturally at the level of a confidant.So she dared to ask doubts: "What's wrong with this tree?"

"I think it's not pleasing to the eye, so I want to chop it off, can't I?" The corner of his eyes swept over lightly, but the coldness contained in it was something Xing Hong had never seen before.Shocked, he hurriedly bowed his head in response, not daring to ask any more questions.

"Get back." Frowning, she waved Xing Hong out.Right now, she just wanted to be alone.

What's wrong with this tree?

In fact, sometimes, some things, even if nothing is done, will cause trouble to the upper body.

She is a daughter of a thousand pieces of gold, loved and loved from birth, pure and ignorant.It wasn't until something happened at home that she grew up and chose such a path.She knows that this palace is a place that eats people without spitting out their bones, so she is very low-key and cautious, and only by firmly grasping the emperor's favor can she be sheltered in this palace.

However, it was naive after all.

She thought that the emperor really liked her, so she was also happy.After all, such a perfect man, such gentle pampering, is what any girl would yearn for.But soon, she knew that this kind of love came from the person in her heart.She finds it ridiculous, finds it funny, finds it ironic.

She loved Ren Ren, and even now that she is married and a noble concubine, the beauty that Ren Ren left in her heart has never faded.So she couldn't resent Ren Ren, because she knew Ren Ren didn't want to stay here.She had no ability to help him leave, so she obeyed His Majesty's order and went to talk to Ren Ren every day, after all, she really couldn't bear to see Ren Ren's cold and indifferent appearance.

But what did she get?

Ren Ren doesn't believe her anymore, His Majesty doesn't favor her anymore.She can understand that it is difficult for Ren Ren to trust her in this environment; she understands that since Ren Ren has appeared, why is she needed as a substitute?

Therefore, to Ren Ren, she is just a plaything for chatting and amusing; to the emperor, she is a dispensable woman.If there is no Ren Ren, what is she?She is a transparent person, she understands everything, but she would rather not understand.

She understands her situation all too well.

The abnormality of His Majesty's long-term residence in the Hall of Mental Cultivation will definitely attract the attention of the harem.But people in the harem can't ask His Majesty, can't break into the Hall of Mental Cultivation to find out, then she becomes the only breakthrough.Facing the inquiries from others in the harem, how should she answer?

Seriously?How could His Majesty let her go; is it a lie to deceive?How long can this secret be kept hidden, and what kind of predicament will she face on the day it is revealed?Who has considered these issues for her?

Maybe Ren Ren thought of it and made up a set of excuses for her.

At that time, she was shocked that Ren Ren was actually a descendant of the Sacred Valley of Medicine, so she didn't think about it, so she said it according to what he taught.

And after that?She did not ignore the Limang that flashed in the Queen Mother's eyes when she said those words.What kind of misunderstanding that set of rhetoric will bring to the Queen Mother, she has already figured it out at this time.

She knew that the Empress Dowager was at odds with His Majesty, and that the Empress Dowager had ambitions, but she didn't know how big the Empress Dowager's ambitions were.But no matter what, she may not report what she knew, or she may deceive the Queen Mother, which is not a light crime.What will happen to her after this incident?Knowing the entanglement between His Majesty and Ren Ren, will His Majesty let her go?Her remarks misled the queen mother, how could the queen mother not retaliate afterwards?

The people she loved and her husband joined forces to push her to this point and fully exploited her.

The five fingers separated and covered the eyes, I don't know how many times I asked in my heart: Why, I just want to find a place to live in this palace quietly, but I can't do it?

Slightly sitting upright, Pingting thought, she might be like this dead tree, which is very useful for shelter from the wind and shade in summer.After that, he just stood there and was an eyesore.

"Xinghong, forget it, this tree will not be cut down." Pingting suddenly changed her previous order.

"Yes." Xing Hong outside the door immediately agreed, and turned to go.

A person is not a tree powerless to resist, she does not want to be an abandoned child.
