Emperor Phoenix Policy: Feng Qingtian

Chapter 487
Mammy silently took out a small paper bag from her bosom and presented it to the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager opened the paper bag, revealing the vermilion powder inside. Said, "Empress Dowager, be careful!"

The Empress Dowager glanced at Mammy with a cold face, and Mammy smiled apologetically, "Mother Empress, this thing is extremely poisonous, just a little bit of it will kill the intestines and kill you."

The queen mother closed the paper bag in silence, and put it on the table casually, "For the guests of tomorrow's hundred-day ceremony, have you found out the process? Have you made arrangements for everyone?"

"Don't worry, Empress Dowager, everything has been arranged."

The queen mother gave a low hum, and said no more, the nanny lowered her head and was about to step back. Just as she reached the door, she was stopped by the queen mother again.

"The Ai family said that after the matter is completed, the Ai family will be the Empress Dowager of the Great Zhou Dynasty, live in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and listen to the government behind the curtain. Your master has agreed?"

A cold light flashed in Mammy's eyes, but there was a flattering smile on her face, "I agree, the master is not interested in being an emperor, I just want to exchange for a fief with rich and beautiful land, and be an emperor who is as high as the sky and the emperor is far away. He doesn't care about anything, as long as the Queen Mother gets what she wants, she can keep her promise."

The Queen Mother snorted softly, "He's considered interesting."

There was a cold light in Mammy's eyes and a smile on her face. The Empress Dowager closed her eyes and continued to recite Buddhist scriptures. Mammy snorted coldly in her heart. Only people with evil thoughts would recite Buddhist scriptures every day and beg the Lord Buddha for forgiveness. A person like the Queen Mother is a person with a Buddha's mouth and a snake's heart. He is full of beauty and compassion, and his thoughts are extremely vicious, and he will not let go of his own daughter.

Let's fight, let's fight, it's best to fight to the death, everyone is dead, and let her master sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman.

When Mammy walked out of the room, she looked up at the sky. The night was dark, starless and moonless, as black as ink that couldn't be splashed.

A little maid came over with a bowl of soup, and the mother stopped her, "What is this?"

The little palace maid replied respectfully, "As for the mother, this is the empress dowager's soothing soup."

"It's late at night, hurry up and send it to the queen mother."

"Yes, Mammy."

A gust of wind blew, and the sand blinded the eyes. The little maid rubbed her eyes for a while, and when she opened her eyes, she found that the nanny had gone far away. The little palace lady quickly walked to the queen mother's room with the soothing soup.

The night is getting darker and thicker, the sky is dark and heavy, and there is no light at all.

That night, Feng Jin slept very restlessly. Because of what the Queen Mother said earlier, Feng Jin took Yao'er by his side to rest together again. Yao'er woke up several times a night, either to drink milk or to get up at night. , or crying for no reason, tossing Feng Jin enough.

Fortunately, she was in good health, so she still got up and went to the morning court as usual.

There is nothing to do today, and I left the court early, because after more than an hour, it will be the auspicious time for Yao'er's Baili Ceremony, and Feng Jin will stay in the palace for breakfast for all the officials of the third rank and above participating in the Hundred Day Ceremony , without running back and forth.

The first moment of Sishi is the auspicious time selected by Qin Tianjian.

Before Sishi, everyone gathered in the emperor's bedroom, waiting for the prince's hundred-day ceremony.

One hundred days and one hundred days symbolize the prince's longevity, which is of great significance. Wuming has already asked people to send back a gift as soon as possible. It is a piece of black jade rough, the size of two fists, and the jade color can be faintly seen flowing in it.

Ink jade is rare, and it is even rarer to have such a large and good quality black jade. Wuming has not carved or cut it. He probably wants to wait for Yao'er to grow up and cut and carve it according to his own heart.

The ministers also sent gifts one after another, none of which were particularly expensive, but they were all full of heart.

It can be said that the day Feng Yao was born broke the hearts of the ministers. On that day, the ministers stood in the yard outside the delivery room, it can be said that they were sad for a while and happy for a while, but their hearts were always tugging.

Since Feng Yao was born, the ministers have watched him grow up, and they wholeheartedly regard him as the future monarch of Dazhou, and place high hopes on him.

The time has come, and the queen mother who is the imperial grandmother has not yet appeared, the ministers looked at each other, Feng Jin said calmly, "Xiao De, go invite the queen mother."

Just as Xiao De was about to go out, a tall man walked in quickly. Xiao De recognized this person as General Wang, the captain of the bodyguard sent by Feng Jin to Linghua Palace, "General Wang, what's the matter? In a hurry? Where's the Empress Dowager?"

General Wang's face was very ugly, he walked quickly to Feng Jin, knelt down on one knee, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager...is dead!"

The room was quiet for a while, and then there was an uproar.

Feng Jin's expression turned ugly, her right hand tightly grasped the armrest of the chair, and with a click, the armrest was crushed into pieces, which startled the ministers.

"Died? What's going on?"

Feng Jin gritted his teeth and asked, General Wang hesitated, "This subordinate doesn't know what's going on, the hundred-day ceremony to see His Royal Highness is about to begin, and the Empress Dowager went in to check before she went out, but found that the Queen Mother The empress died in front of the Buddhist altar, with black blood at the corner of her mouth, and her face was blue and black, which is a symptom of poisoning."

Seeing the ministers looking at her one after another, everyone with that suspicious look on their faces, Feng Jin felt as if someone had dug a hole and pushed her in. She slowly stood up, "The Hundred Days Ceremony is temporarily cancelled. Go to Linghua Palace to have a look."

The old man Jianzheng of Qin Tianjian jumped out, "Your Majesty, this is the only auspicious time today. If you miss it, His Royal Highness's Hundred Day Ceremony will have to be changed. That's not good."

Gradually, some ministers persuaded Feng Jin to wait until the hundred-day ceremony was over before going to the Linghua Palace.

Feng Jin's cold eyes swept over everyone, "I believe that even without this hundred-day gift, Yao'er can live a long life. The Queen Mother is my biological mother. Even if mother and daughter were at odds in the past and there were occasional disputes, she is still ten years old. The moon is pregnant, and the person who has worked so hard to give birth to me is as generous as the sky, and I must find out who killed the mother!"

Feng Jin's words, on the one hand, confessed that the Queen Mother's death had nothing to do with her, so that the ministers would be less suspicious; on the other hand, they wanted to shock the mastermind behind the scenes.

Seeing that the queen insisted on going, the ministers had no choice but to agree.

In the end, the Hundred Days Ceremony was cancelled, the ministers left the palace, Feng Jin brought a few first-rank officials, Pei Xiu and Shen Wenqing to the Linghua Palace.

The Linghua Palace was surrounded by guards, and when they saw the Queen, they all knelt down to pay their respects.

"It's all free."

Feng Jin quickly walked into the palace gate, and walked to the room where the accident happened. There were also guards guarding the door of the room.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, when one of your subordinates found out that something happened, he immediately ordered someone to guard the Linghua Palace, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. He also sent someone to guard this room, and no one was allowed to step in, so as not to mess up the things inside and destroy the traces."

General Wang followed Feng Jin and said respectfully. Song Ming nodded, "The evidence at the crime scene is very important and must be protected. General Wang is very right."

Feng Jin stood at the door of the house and took a look inside. The incense on the altar had already been burned, and there was no new Buddhist incense.

With just one glance, Feng Jin walked to the next room, the queen mother had been moved to the next room, and imperial physicians Zhang and Liu were checking on the condition of the queen mother.

"Your Majesty, the empress dowager has passed away. She has been dead for several hours, and her body is cold."

As soon as Feng Jin entered, Imperial Physician Zhang came up to greet her, and said in reply.

Feng Jin felt that he was almost suffocating. The queen mother on the couch had her eyes closed tightly, her face was black and blue, her lips were purple, and there were still black blood stains at the corners of her mouth. Feng Jin looked at her silently, although the queen mother was not her own. Mother, the relationship between the two has not been easy, but Feng Jin's heart is still heavy, and he is panicked.

"How did you die?"

Upon hearing the question, Imperial Physician Zhang replied, "He died of poisoning."

"What poison?"

"The crane's top is red."

Hedinghong is highly poisonous, just a little bit will kill you.

Feng Jin had a lot of questions in his mind, how did the queen mother die, who did it, the people in the Linghua Palace, whether it was guards or palace people, had all been replaced, all of them were selected by Xiao De himself, all of them were clean and honest. What the hell went wrong?How can something happen?What's more troublesome is, I'm afraid that the ministers will think that she did it, because the palace is heavily guarded, and the guards of the queen mother are all her people. If she didn't poison the queen mother to death, who else could it be?
Feng Jin sat silently in the room, looking at the queen mother on the couch without blinking.

After some time, Song Ming came.

"How about it?"

Song Ming hesitated to speak, but Feng Jin raised his eyelids and glanced at him, "Say what you have to say."

Song Ming pursed his lips before saying in a deep voice, "At first glance, there is no fight or dispute in the room. There is an opened pack of Crane Crown Red on the table, which has obviously been moved, and even sprinkled a little powder on the ground..."

"Say the point!"

Song Ming was silent, "The point is...the Empress Dowager seems to have committed suicide by taking poison!"
