Chapter 138 Taking Turns to Supervise the Country

"Empress, the incense officer is responsible for the incense. The spices she prepares are all the spices that the Queen likes every day. Only the spices you use recently are donated by the royal husband's family, and he himself uses them. He will use them after checking that there are no problems. It’s with you.”

Huizhi whispered.

"No matter how stupid they are, they will never tamper with the spices. The emperor himself uses them, which proves that there is no problem with the spices."

Lianyi was not surprised at all. If the emperor dared to take action, he would definitely take it out.

"Where's the incense burner?"

"I've asked Mei Yuanzheng to check. There should be news by now."

As soon as Huizhi finished speaking, a silver bell-like voice came from outside the door:

"Ms. Huizhi, ring the bell to answer the call."

"come in!"

Huizhi raised his voice and asked the maid who called Bell from outside the palace to come in.

"Lingdang is an orphan I adopted outside the palace. Her identity and background are very clean. When her parents brought her to Fengdu, they were both killed when they encountered robbers. She was the only one who survived because she went to go out.

Later, it was the Fengdu prefect who captured the robber. The child identified the three perpetrators on the spot and accurately described the characteristics of the robber. I thought he was a well-behaved and clever person, so I adopted him as my apprentice. With. "

Huizhi explained a few words in a low voice and quickly. Originally, she wanted to teach the child for a while, but today's matter was not trivial and she needed a new face, so she just let Lingdang go.

Lingdang was a little nervous, and she didn't dare to look around after entering the palace. She walked to the bed respectfully, and knelt down to salute three meters away from the bed.

"Get up and talk, don't be so restrained."

Lianyi was not used to kneeling back and forth, so she skipped Lingdang's gift. Lingdang thanked Lingdang before standing up, and then lowered her voice and said:

"Empress, Meiyuan is asking me to tell you that there is nothing wrong with the incense burner itself. It's just that after the spices in the burner burn to produce smoke, and after the top cover of the incense burner is smoked, a colorless and odorless white smoke will be produced, mixed with the smell of spices. , others cannot detect it, and hearing it for a long time will cause physical weakness and unreliable sleep."

"Let Mei Yuanzheng come over tomorrow and take my pulse."

"yes!"

The bell answered immediately, and then he walked backwards out of the palace.

"Huizhi, please replace the top cover of the incense burner and move it back to my bedroom tomorrow. Continue to light the incense. Monitor the female officer who is currently in charge of the incense burner to see who she is in contact with."

Lianyi ordered quietly.

"Yes, I know what to do."

"Where's the ginseng soup?"

"The ginseng soup sent by the emperor is fine."

"Then you and Lan Xin don't waste it, drink it for me."

Lianyi said generously.

As for the body of the original owner, it is really too weak to be replenished.

"Thank you Queen for the reward."

"How will they react if the court is suspended for three days?"

"No, they all said they would write notes well."

"I really feel like I'm useless."

"Queen, you are still young, if it weren't for us"

Lan Xin answered with self-reproach, but the rest of her words were stopped by Ripple.

"Don't worry, after I fainted, I have understood that some things should be let go when it's time to let them go. Holding them in your hands for a long time is not a good thing."

Lianyi's voice was calm, but it made Huizhi and Lan Xin feel inexplicably sad. Which mother wouldn't feel uncomfortable being schemed against by her daughter, especially someone as powerful as her own queen.

"You are the old people around me. You must be stable. Only if you are stable, they will not be able to find out my specific situation. I have already made a plan for the next step. Just follow it."

"Yes, Queen."

In the next three days, Lianyi did not summon anyone. The emperor's husband and Rong Shijun all came to pay their respects to her. Unfortunately, she did not see anyone. The three imperial daughters wanted to show their filial piety, but Lianyi declined because they were not feeling well. .

When Lianyi was lazily recuperating, Mei Yuanzheng personally came to check Lianyi's pulse. Combined with her previous examination of the incense burner, she already had a guess in her mind. After taking the pulse, she already had a clue.

"Queen, there is no need to worry. I will prescribe a prescription when I go back. After you take it for three days, I will come back to check your pulse."

Mei Yuanzheng has silver hair but no wrinkles on his face. He is nearly 70 years old but looks younger and tougher than the 50-year-old empress. He speaks unhurriedly and is well versed in the art of health preservation.

"You don't need to record the prescription. The prepared medicine can be made into pills and brought directly to me."

"It is easy to take when made into pills, but the efficacy will be reduced by two points."

Meiyuanzheng is very rigorous.

"It doesn't matter. After I have arranged the affairs in the court, you can make the soup for me."

"Yes, I understand."

Mei Yuanzheng never took sides or participated in court struggles, so he was trusted by the Queen. He was also a master of the apricot forest. He was good at gynecology and body conditioning, and was very knowledgeable in health-preserving techniques. The Queen gave birth to three daughters, all of whom were in good shape. It is due to Mei Yuanzheng's contribution.

On the fourth day, Lianyi felt that her physical condition was much better. In the past three days, in addition to eating and resting, she had been introducing Qi into her body. She absorbed more than a dozen spiritual Qi light points, which helped her expel some toxins from her body.

So when Lianyi went to court wearing heavy court clothes, she no longer felt as top-heavy as before.

The three princesses and the ministers were a little surprised when they saw the queen who had not shown up for three days, especially when the queen looked much better.

"I have taken a general look at the collections of all the beloved queens. Basically, they all focus on the eldest princess and the second princess. As their mother-emperor, it is difficult for me to choose between them."

Lianyi paused here, glanced at everyone's expressions, and then said:

"However, as I am getting older, I have to delegate power after all. Both princesses are my daughters and have received the best education. In this case, these two will take turns to supervise the country for a period of one year, and one girl will supervise the country." When I was in the country, another daughter did not discuss politics or attend court meetings, but accompanied me to Zhuoxiu Garden to cultivate, so that I could also enjoy the happiness of a family, what do you think?"

The ministers and the three princesses were all surprised. They didn't expect the queen to come up with such a method after avoiding seeing her for three days.

"However, I have said something ugly in front of you. Whoever takes over the throne from me will be judged by his political performance. If I find out that you two are stumbling between each other in order to seize the throne, and will not put the lives and deaths of the people of Liming at risk. In my eyes, you should get out of Fengdu immediately."

Ripple's voice contained a touch of chilling air.

"Yes, I understand!"

The eldest princess immediately knelt down and saluted. She was first, which meant that she had the upper hand.

"My daughter has no objection!"

The second princess also knelt down and saluted.

The third princess thought it would be more interesting to follow her mother to Zhuoxiu Garden, and she happily agreed.

Ripple was very straightforward and left the political affairs to the eldest princess. She patted her butt and left the palace directly with the father of the three princesses and the second and third princesses. Anyway, the military power eagle talisman was in her hands, and she had absolute Only those with force have the right to veto, so she left without any burden.
