I can't afford to mess with the concubine doctor

Chapter 209 Prelude to Conspiracy

Chapter 209 Prelude to Conspiracy
It is unbelievable that a teenage noble girl possesses medical skills beyond the reach of imperial physicians who have been working for decades. Therefore, when she was treating the Queen Mother's eye disease, Qu Lingxu said that she was seven years old. At that time, Qu Fengyan took her out of the mansion one day to play, but the other party left early and threw her outside the city. When she was crying sadly, an old man in her sixties sent her back to the city gate. , and gave her two yellowed medical classics.She was not favored by her father, so naturally she didn't have the opportunity to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting from a famous teacher with Qu Fengyan, so she devoted herself to studying medical books, and bought silver knives and needles with the money Chen's selling her own jewelry, and studied hard for several years , just now has this achievement.

Regarding this, the queen mother is naturally dubious, but the identity and whereabouts of the old man are unknown. The queen mother can only focus on investigating Qu Lingxu's situation in the general's mansion these years. It is not difficult to find out about the house. Since she didn't lie, it was inevitable that she believed a little more, and because she felt pity for her situation, she didn't ask any more questions.

Therefore, in the Empress Dowager's view, Qu Lingxu finally got proud of the medical books he had studied hard for many years, so he naturally didn't want to keep the imperial doctor by his side to steal his teacher, in case he would be replaced in the future.

If Qu Lingxu knew that the queen mother thought of her in this way, she would definitely roll her eyes. However, thanks to the queen mother's imaginative imagination, Qu Lingxu got a few days of convenience before the emperor woke up. You can secretly inject some glucose for the emperor to replenish energy, so that he can wake up as soon as possible.

Otherwise, once the news of the emperor's serious injury spreads, it will inevitably lead to instability of people's hearts. What's more, no one knows whether the empress mother and son will take the risk and directly seize the palace.

Although, the probability of success in doing so is very low.

Facts have proved that Qu Lingxu's prediction was completely correct. At this time, in the East Nuan Pavilion of Fengyi Palace, the Empress and Murong Jing were sitting on both sides of the heating kang, neither speaking.

I don't know how long this silence lasted. Suddenly, Murong Jing threw the tourmaline beads in her hand heavily on the table, and said impatiently: "Mother, don't miss this opportunity. Although the imperial grandmother is very powerful, she After all, we have no military power in our hands, and the most reliable Zhongyonghou is far away in the northwest, so how can we do anything to us?"

Since the emperor was sent back to Qinzheng Palace, and the queen mother did not allow the queen and Murong Jing to take care of them, the queen knew that the queen mother had become suspicious of their motives, but it was inconvenient to investigate carefully because the emperor was not out of danger, although they did not stay. No excuses, but such a situation is undoubtedly unfavorable. Murong Jing did not think of getting rid of Qu Lingxu quietly, thus cutting off the emperor's vitality. However, the Queen Mother seemed to have expected this early on. Heavily guarded by more soldiers, Qu Lingxu even sent them directly from Shoukang Palace as soon as he could afford it, without anyone's help, which made Murong Jing helpless. After much deliberation, he finally decided to take the risk.

However, he excitedly ran to Fengyi Palace to discuss with the queen, and before he could say a few words, he was rejected by the queen, and after that, the scene just now happened.

Seeing Murong Jing's self-righteous appearance, the queen snorted softly, and said coldly: "You're so impatient, why don't you tell me how sure you are?"

Today, there are less than [-] troops stationed around the capital, of which [-] are guarding the imperial city, and they have always followed the emperor's orders directly. Basically under the control of Huaiyang Hou and his son, if Murong Jing successfully wins over Leng Yuanxun, the queen will naturally raise her hands in favor of forcing the palace, but now, Leng Yuanxun will obviously not be on their side, so it is difficult to rely on the personal escort of the Eastern Palace Are the guards coming to force the palace?
"Mother, when did you become so indecisive?" The queen's concerns are all on the surface, how could Murong Jing not expect that, he saw him anxiously pacing back and forth in front of the queen, and then heaved a long sigh, barely holding his temper Explained: "You are right. The imperial guards are directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor, but now the emperor is in a coma, and the control of the entire imperial army is in the hands of the commander of the imperial army. As long as we win over the commander of the imperial army, it is equivalent to controlling the capital. At that time, even if Leng Yuanxun has doubts again, he will not dare to lead the Yanlin army to attack the imperial city, not to mention, even if the Yanlin army is invincible, it may not be monolithic."

In any era, in any institution, it is not difficult to find a few traitors.

It's not that the queen has never thought about winning over the commander of the imperial army, but she rejected the idea as soon as it crossed her mind. The reason is very simple. The eldest daughter of the commander of the imperial army also entered the palace in the draft three years ago. She was favored, but she was very lucky. At the beginning of this year, she gave birth to a little prince for the emperor. Because after giving birth, she was only a Jieyu, and the child was too young to become a climate. The queen didn't take it seriously, but Looking at it now, it is dangerous and dangerous, because even if he wants to force the palace, the commander of the imperial army will choose to help his nephew to the throne instead of Murong Jing.

"The queen mother's words are wrong." Murong Jing took a deep look at the queen, and there was even a hint of blasphemy in her tone, but she held back and continued: "I have never had a baby in my mother's arms for more than a hundred years. The younger one is the precedent for the new emperor, not to mention that the son is still a righteous prince, even if he takes [-] steps back, Commander Chen, with the reputation of treason, puts the seventh younger brother on the throne. The right to send out several regents to assist the government will definitely not fall into his hands, not to mention that Chen Jieyu herself is also a cowardly and cowardly master."

If it weren't for her average talent and appearance, and her gentle temper, the queen would definitely not allow her to give birth to a dragon descendant.

This time, the empress did not immediately refute Murong Jing's words as she did just now, but fixedly looked at the white porcelain gold-painted teacup in front of her. After a while, she said slowly: "If I remember correctly, Chen The commander-in-chief also has a second daughter, right?"

Hearing the queen's question, Murong Jing knew that the other party would no longer object to her plan, and after a little relief, she replied respectfully: "What the queen mother said is that the minister sent someone to inquire about it. Cheerful and lively, she has been favored more than Chen Jieyu since she was a child, and she was originally included in this year's draft list, but Commander Chen cleared up the relationship with the Ministry of Internal Affairs and screened her out in the second round of selection."

Just like what Qu Lingxu said, parents who really love their daughter would never be willing to send the jewel in their palm to the deep palace in the dark. It can be seen that this second young lady is far more favored than her elder sister.

Having said that, it is already very clear that as long as Murong Jing can marry Chen Tongling's daughter as the crown princess, after Murong Jing ascends the throne, the other party will be the legitimate father-in-law, and the son born to the queen will also be made the crown prince. The world is not against supporting a baby who has no real power to be king, it is better to welcome Murong Jing openly. He believes that Commander Chen can understand this simple relationship of pros and cons.

In fact, Murong Jing was unwilling to sit on the position of the 'second-in-a-thousand-year-old' prince. Why did the empress want to guard this Zhaoyang Palace lonely and die alone? It's just that she is much more cautious than Murong Jing, so she didn't expect Before a comprehensive plan, he did not let go.

Now Murong Jing's method undoubtedly gave the queen new hope. Her eyes lit up, and she subconsciously grabbed Murong Jing's arm, "In this case, I will send a letter to your uncle immediately. Day can be regarded as a kind of friendship, as long as he can agree, things will be easy to handle."

The queen was born in a family. Although the power in the court is not as prominent as before due to the withering of the male members of the family these years, the queen's brother still holds the important position of the admiral of the nine sects. After succeeding, they will be able to control the entire capital as quickly as possible, and the Yanlin army stationed outside the capital will never dare to forcibly attack the city.

"Don't worry, queen mother, I will go to Commander Chen with my uncle to show my solemnity." Having said this, Murong Jing's bright eyes showed a strange smile, which was a deep yearning and desire for power.

"Okay." The queen nodded, thought for a while, and continued: "Not only Commander Chen, but also the vice-commanders of the Imperial Army, it is best to ask someone to find out. If there is someone who doesn't know how to praise..." The following words , The queen didn't continue, but just made a gesture of wiping her neck.

When it comes to forcing the palace, their mother and son are standing on the edge of a cliff, and there is only one way to succeed, because if they are not careful, they will end up with no bones left.

"I understand." Murong Jing has never been a soft-hearted person, let alone when his life is at stake, it's just...

"Mother, what should I do with Leng Yuanxun?" Leng Yuanxun is too powerful, and it is absolutely impossible to get rid of him in one fell swoop. other.

"This..." Mentioning Leng Yuanxun, the queen's bright eyes gradually dimmed, revealing a look of deep fear. She had known that this would be such a situation, and she would rather have the patrol battalion under the control of Murong Li all the time!
However, it is hard to buy regret medicine, and it is useless to talk about it now. The queen stood up solemnly, pacing back and forth in the hall covered with gold bricks, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration and came up with a wonderful solution.

Everyone has a weakness, and Leng Yuanxun's weakness is right in front of his eyes, isn't it?

"The queen mother means to threaten Leng Yuanxun with Qu Lingxu's life?" Murong Jing frowned slightly, and tentatively said with some worry: "It's just a woman, if he becomes the greatest hero of the father, he will Or have greater ambitions, what kind of woman do you want in the future?"
