The 294th chapter kills the monarch and seizes the throne(1/2)

At the Qingli Kingdom Palace, at night, Her Majesty the Queen suddenly felt uncomfortable all over. Her heart seemed to be gnawing at millions of ants, which made her sweat so much that she was sweating all over the bed. Because of the pain, cold sweat came, and her limbs were almost broken up.

Eunuch Wan and Eunuch Guo were so scared that they were about to fly away. While supporting Her Majesty the Queen, they said anxiously to the palace maid who was serving, "What are you still standing there? Go and invite the imperial physician. Didn't you see that Her Majesty the Queen is not feeling well?"

Zhu Yuzhen was tortured by the severe pain for half a stick of incense, and the biting pain gradually dissipated. She leaned weakly on the head of the bed, gasping for breath. It was so terrifying just now, as if the hand of the god of death tightly pinched her throat, which could make her die at any time.

Soon the imperial doctor came over, took the Queen's pulse, and checked her physical condition.

"What's wrong with my body? Why does my heart suddenly hurt so much? Am I poisoned?" Zhu Yuzhen thought of death approaching, and she subconsciously felt a strong resistance. She didn't want to die. She took pills every day and lived a comfortable life with singing and dancing. She said she didn't want to die.

The imperial doctor wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said carefully, "Her Majesty the Queen's pulse is very healthy and there is no abnormality. Perhaps it is because of the Queen's anger that will cause heart pain. Taking pills is the most taboo to be very happy and sad. Her Majesty the Queen will keep a happy mood in the future."

Zhu Yuzhen didn't dare to believe the words of the imperial doctor. She was skeptical, "Is my health really not a serious problem? Don't fool me, otherwise don't blame me for being rude to you!"

"The heart pain before was indeed caused by anger and aggravated heart. I have no false words. In this way, I prescribe two prescriptions for calming my mind and calming my energy. Her Majesty the Queen takes it three times a day. In less than three days, she will no longer be affected by the situation like this."

Zhu Yuzhen asked with disrespect, "Doesn't it affect the use of elixirs?"

After taking the pill, she felt refreshed and had no worries. She was as happy as a god. She could not stop the pill.

The imperial physician has served Her Majesty the Queen for nearly thirty years. He has long been able to understand what Her Majesty is thinking. "Please rest assured that it will not affect your health. Your Majesty's diet and daily life will be exactly the same as before, and will not be affected at all."

Zhu Yuzhen finally felt relieved and asked the imperial doctor to prescribe the medicine. The palace maid went to grab the medicine and decoct the medicine for her to take it.

Half an hour later, Eunuch Wan seemed to be feeling much better when he saw Her Majesty the Queen, and took the opportunity to say, "Your Majesty, this is the pill for today, please take it."

After the empress took the pill, Eunuch Wan continued carefully next to him, "Her Majesty the Empress must be worried about today's state affairs, afraid that the Emperor and the Emperor Liang would collude with each other and sell their country for honor. They think too much and feel irritated, which is why they cause heartache. The conflict between the Emperor and King Xi has reached the point of incompatibility."

Zhu Yuzhen's well-maintained face rose strongly, "That's right, the child of Jiuxiao always believed that Jiuxi would steal the throne. She had reached the point of being possessed by the evil spirit. Look at me, I am strong, so how could I need to pass the throne to others so quickly? Whether it is Jiuxiao or Jiuxi, they are just my subjects. Isn't it enough to do my business loyally for me?"

Eunuch Wan frowned and fell into deep thought, and said tentatively, "What if the princess of the Princess really invites Liang people to help? A few years ago, the princess of the Princess of the Princess of the Princess of the Princess of the Princess of the Princess of the Princess of the Princess of the Princess of the Princess of the Princess of the Princess of the Princess of the Princess of the Princess of the Princess of the Princess of the Princess of the Princess of the Princess of the Princess of the Princess of the Princess of the Princess of the Princess of the Princess of the Princess of the Princess of the Princess of the Princess of the Princess of the Princess of the Princess of the Princess of the Princess of the Princess of the Princess of the Princess of the Princess of the Princess of the Princess

Qingli Kingdom also collects a lot of important information about the surrounding countries. As the empress’s trust, he also heard a lot of things from the empress and King Xi.

"The Northern Di Kingdom was destroyed and the Moon Worshiping Sect of the Nanyue Kingdom was destroyed. These are all things that the Liang Kingdom, who were very powerful and extremely cruel, could do. What if they really came to Qingli Kingdom, would there be profitable? Her Majesty the Queen, should I avoid King Xi and ask the Queen's daughter again?"

Zhu Yuzhen was in a state of dismay again. She just wanted to be her queen in Qingli Kingdom with satisfaction, having food, drink and fun, and she didn't want to get involved in the junk things of other countries at all. What if Liang Kingdom really sets his sights on a country that is small but rich, although it is rich?

She doesn't want to be the king of the country to be destroyed, she will become the eternal sinner of Qingli Kingdom and will be infamous for thousands of years.

"You send someone to call Jiuxiao to the palace and say I have something to ask her." The queen finally gave an order and asked someone to invite Zhu Jiuxiao into the palace.

She did not see the subtle smile of success in Eunuch Wan's eyes, which was fleeting.

About half an hour later, Zhu Jiuxiao entered the palace and was talking to Zhu Yuzhen in the palace. Not long after, the mother and daughter started a big quarrel, and no one allowed each other, making the quarrel blush and their necks thick.

Finally, Zhu Jiuxiao walked out of the palace angrily, and said without looking back as he walked, "I said that I have not colluded with enemies and treason, and I will not sell my country for honor. Do you have to doubt when I will? You are really unreasonable."

Zhu Yuzhen also chased after her with anger and shouted loudly behind her, "You didn't collude with the people of Liang, why are you so excited? I'm just asking you, are you guilty of being a thief? Zhu Jiuxiao, I advise you to stop and retreat when you see the difficulties. If the entire Qingli Kingdom is destroyed in your hands, then you are the sinner of the entire country and will be nailed to the pillar of shame. You'd better think clearly."

However, the Crown Princess left without any reaction as if she had heard nothing.

Zhu Yuzhen looked at her back and walked away, suddenly showed pain, covered her heart, and spat out a mouthful of blood with a wow sound, her knees softened, and she knelt straight on the ground, frightened the palace servants serving around her, and immediately helped her up in a hurry.

"Her Majesty Queen, what's wrong with you? Come here, go and invite the imperial physician over. Her Majesty Queen vomits blood."

Zhu Yuzhen shook her head, "I'm fine, but I'm not angry with that unfilial daughter of Jiuxiao. Just let me slow down. You all retreat, don't have to serve me anymore. What do I need to ask you to come in?"

She returned to the room and lay on the spacious and soft bed, closing her eyes.

When the palace maids on duty outside the door were guarding all night, they did not see the queen ordering them. They were unusually quiet, but they did not dare to go in rashly.

Until the next day, Her Majesty the Queen missed the breakfast time, and the palace maids could no longer help it. They knocked on the door carefully and said tentatively, "Her Majesty, I have come in. Your Majesty should get up, wash and have breakfast."

There was still no sound in the palace. The palace maids felt bad in their hearts. They pushed open the door and walked to the bedside and saw that Zhu Yuzhen had completely lost her breath, bleeding from her seven orifices, and her hands were hanging by the bedside. The more terrifying it seemed, the more terrifying it was.

A shrill trembling scream resounded throughout the sky, "No, Her Majesty the Queen has passed away."

Several palace maids cried in a ball, and were so scared that they were almost flying away.

For a moment, the entire palace was shocked by the news and everyone was in great pain.

King Xi Zhu Jiuxi was the first to get the news. She walked in with her most trusted confidant guard. Seeing Her Majesty, who was extremely miserable in death, her expression on her face seemed to be as painful as it would be. Finally, her knees softened, and she knelt on the queen's bed with a plop, and cried in grief.

Eunuch Wan and Eunuch Guo even cried into tears, as if they were secretly crying for their lost master.

After a while, Zhu Jixi stood up, slowly wiped away her tears, and said hoarsely, "Check me heavily, who killed Her Majesty the Queen, let her bury her with Her Majesty—"

Officials from the Ministry of Justice received the task and immediately controlled everyone who served the queen last night and went separately to interrogate them. In the end, everyone's testimony pointed to the crown prince Zhu Jiuxiao.

Last night, many people saw Zhu Jiuxiao and Her Majesty the Queen had a big fight. In the end, Her Majesty the Queen could not bear such a strong stimulation and went back to sleep. When she was discovered the next day, she died of bleeding from her seven orifices.

"The Imperial Guard obeyed the order and went to the crown prince's mansion to arrest the prince's daughter and sent it to the Ministry of Justice for the officials of the Ministry of Justice to be tried strictly. It is best if the Queen murdered the Queen had nothing to do with the Prince's daughter, otherwise I really wouldn't dare to imagine what would happen."

Zhu Jiuxi's eyes were red, and there was a surging bloodthirsty murderous intent surging, clattering her fists.

Soon the Imperial Guards surrounded the entire Crown Lord's Mansion. Hundreds of Imperial Guards were carrying sharp swords, with great momentum, as if they wanted to tear someone to pieces.

When Ying Chen and Ying Wu received the news of Her Majesty's death, they helped the imperial guards who captured Zhu Jiuxiao to the gate of the crown prince's mansion. As Zhu Jiuxiao's most loyal and trustworthy confidants, they were so anxious that they were almost bursting with tears.

"Your Highness, the Queen died suddenly. Now everyone in the capital is rumored that His Highness has poisoned the Queen. You should leave the secret passage quickly. It will be too late. Go and find the emperor and queen of Liang State to protect you."

When Zhu Jiuxiao heard the news of the death of the mother's mother, the sky was dizzy and violent grief surged into her heart, making her almost breathless. She covered her heart in pain, and tears gathered into a river and slid from the corners of her eyes.

How could this happen? It was obvious that the Queen Mother was in good health yesterday. She was full of anger when she quarreled with her. Why did she die in one night? It must be Zhu Jiuxi's cruel woman. She had long wanted the throne and deliberately designed such a play to kill people with a knife. She was so cruel.

"I didn't kill the mother emperor, everything was done by Zhu Jiuxi. That woman was so cruel. She actually blamed me for all this. I fought with her!"

Ying Chen and Ying Wu pushed her into the secret passage, "Your Highness, the Imperial Guard has already broken in. There is no time left. Go and ask the emperor and queen of Liang State for help. Maybe you can get a glimmer of life, otherwise you will really have to take Zhu Jiuxi's words, go quickly."

The two most loyal maids pushed her into the secret passage, hid the entrance, and left the room as fast as possible.

Not long after they left, the Imperial Guard rushed in with murderous intent and shouted loudly, "Where is the princess? Hand over the princess out quickly!"

Even her own biological mother dared to kill her. This woman was so scary. She could do anything crazy. Such a princess was not worthy of being the queen of Qingli Kingdom!

"His Royal Highness the Crown Princess didn't come back last night. What happened to you guys? We will convey it to you on behalf of your Highness." Ying Chen and Ying Wu tried their best to look calm, and tried to delay the time and try to make Zhu Jiuxiao escape as soon as possible.

The leader of the Imperial Guard said bluntly, "What did you convey on your behalf? The Queen's Majesty is suspected of poisoning Her Majesty the Queen. Now he has to take it back to the Ministry of Justice to ask questions. If you delay such a big thing, can you afford the consequences? Don't always think that you are very powerful. Where is the Queen's Majesty? Why don't you hand her over quickly!"

Ying Chen and Ying Wu had strong shock and disbelief on their faces, as if they were greatly stimulated. "Your Highness cannot kill the Queen, they must have made some mistakes. How can you slander people? You dare to say things without evidence, that is the princess, the crown prince. What crime should you be punished for slandering the crown prince like this!"

The leader was too lazy to say so much nonsense to them, and pushed the people away without hesitation, "Search them all well, search the entire crown prince's mansion, and also find the prince's daughter out. He deserves to die for the murder of the queen!"

With the order, all the imperial guards broke in like robbers and searched all rooms roughly. However, to their disappointment, they really couldn't find Zhu Jiuxiao's people.

Ying Chen and Ying Wu breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the secret passage was not exposed.

However, they were too happy too early. Not long after, the sharp sword was put on their necks, and a bloodthirsty and cruel voice sounded, "Tell me quickly, where are you hiding the princess? She is suspected of poisoning the queen, so she must be arrested and handed over to the Ministry of Justice for trial."

Ying Chen and Ying Wu had a strong fear in their eyes, and their bodies trembled in fear, "I don't know. Your Highness came back last night and fell asleep early in the room. But when I woke up this morning, I never saw Your Highness again. Maybe she had something to go out."

"Stop telling us lies and be careless. You are the most trusted confidants of the Crown Girl. Wouldn't you tell you where she will go? If you don't tell me if you don't tell me, you will be arrested together with you and be punished according to the crime of sheltering and hiding. Why don't you tell me quickly?"

The sharp dagger slashed the delicate skin on the neck, and blood penetrated out, making both maids unable to help but groan, their bodies trembled even harder, and tears flowed out even more.

"Catch these two women and put them in prison, and use various tortures to serve them. I want to see how tight your mouth can be." The leader did not catch the person he wanted in the crown prince's mansion, and in a rage, he threw all his anger on Ying Chen and Ying Wu.

After a chaotic situation in the entire crown prince's mansion, many of Zhu Jiuxiao's maids and confidants were captured, just like a robber crossing the border. Many rare flowers and trees were trampled to pieces, and many precious calligraphy and paintings and antique collections were also taken away.

Zhu Jiuxiao, in a mess, left the secret passage, came out from the other end of the secret passage, and went straight to the outskirts of the capital. In a villa that looked very inconspicuous and looked like an ordinary family, she saw Xiao Linye and Xu Muqing, and the more she thought about it, she felt more and more aggrieved, and suddenly burst into tears.

"Emperor, Empress, my mother's mother is dead. Now the entire capital probably thinks that I killed the mother's mother and wanted to grab the throne. What should I do?" Zhu Jiuxiao felt heartbroken as if he had been torn apart, and the pain was bleeding.

She clearly did nothing, why did Zhu Jiuxi, the ambition bitch, push the charge of regicide on her? What should she do in the future to clear her crime?

Xiao Linye and Xu Muqing looked at each other, and both saw shock and surprise in each other's eyes.

The jade-faced foxes in Qingli Kingdom were indeed not said in vain. They had just arrived in Qingli Kingdom and it was only two days before. They were almost certain that they had never leaked any news. Zhu Jiuxi guessed everything himself, and not everyone could have such skills.

"She killed the queen and even pushed the charge to you?" Xiao Linye looked at Zhu Jiuxiao in a mess, "Can you tell us in detail how the emperor uncle you are very afraid of did it?"

Zhu Jiuxiao wiped tears with his sleeves, and wiped the stains on his face cleanly, telling the dispute between her and Zhu Jiuxi and the Queen yesterday.

Then at night, she was called into the palace by the Queen Mother. Not long after they talked, they were not prone to speculation and started arguing directly. She turned her back and left, and the Queen Mother was also very angry with her.

Zhu Jiuxiao's eyes were filled with regret. She felt as if she had cut her heart into a knife and said with a sob, "I don't know that the emperor's uncle had already made up his mind to kill the emperor at that time. If I knew, I would definitely not argue with the emperor, and would find a way to protect the emperor. I really regret it. Not only did the emperor be killed, but now he has pushed all the charges on my head. I am unwilling to accept it."

Now, it is said that she poisoned the queen to death in the entire capital, and her position as crown prince is almost impossible to be preserved. Her sisters and younger brothers are also controlled by Zhu Jiuxi. I believe that Zhu Jiuxi will ascend the throne to the throne in a short time.

She was really unwilling to give up. She was clearly her position as crown prince, and she didn't want to give it to Zhu Jiuxi at all.

Seeing her crying in tears, Xu Muqing couldn't help but say, "Don't cry first, go take a shower and change into clean clothes, eat breakfast, and then discuss what to do next. You can't calm down now, no matter what we say, you won't listen."

Zhu Jiuxiao responded softly and went to wash up in a mess.

Xiao Linye picked up the teacup at this time, with a light of appreciation and admiration in his eyes. "This Zhu Jiuxi is a character, good at forbearance and conspiracy. It is really not unfair to Zhu Jiuxiao lose to her."

No wonder Zhu Jiuxiao has spent so much money and has to ask them to help, otherwise she will not be able to get rid of Zhu Jiuxi with her own abilities.

"What are you going to do? We can only do some small actions behind our backs and we must not take action personally, otherwise it will become a conflict between the two countries." Xu Muqing turned her head and looked at Xiao Linye and asked.

Xiao Linye thought of something, and there was a certain light in his eyes. "Isn't this easy? If Qingli Kingdom provoked the incident first, wouldn't it become a legitimate thing for us to intervene? Wait and see, the rumors of Zhu Jiuxiao engaging in the enemy and treason, and colluding with Liang Kingdom will definitely spread. We only need to push this inference to Zhu Jiuxi, and the next thing will be solved."

He admitted that Zhu Jiuxi was indeed very smart and capable, but in the face of absolute strength, no matter how many conspiracies or tricks were, they were in vain.

"What if Zhu Jiuxiao died too? And he was killed in prison, no one would believe that she poisoned Her Majesty the Queen. The winner of the greatest interests will be very clear." Xu Muqing said Xiao Linye's plan in his heart.

Xiao Linye glanced at Xu Muqing with praise. As expected, after staying together for a long time, the relationship between the couple is very good and has a mutual understanding. Sometimes you can understand the other person's meaning with just one action and one look.

Not long after, Zhu Jiuxiao finished bathing and had breakfast. His eyes turned red and appeared in front of Xiao Linye and Xu Muqing.

"Emperor, Queen, I don't know if you have thought of a way to deal with King Xi? I don't want to be sad about the charge of regicide. Besides, the Queen Mother was really not killed by me, and I didn't do anything. I will never admit it anyway." Zhu Jiuxiao was depressed, his eyes were swollen like walnuts.

Xiao Linye picked up the tea and took a sip, and said slowly, "It's not impossible, but it depends on whether you can be cruel and dare to take risks. If you dare to take risks, I and the Queen will help you with the help of you. It should be able to overthrow King Xi, let the throne come back to your hands, and at the same time wash away your suspicion of poisoning the queen."
