On the way to the palace, the prince knocked on the shaft of the carriage: "Have you got what the king asked you to get?"

The entourage who was driving the car trembled and gulped wildly: "Here we go, we got it."

"Okay, bring it to me."

The attendant was still hesitant, but when the prince shouted, the attendant was frightened and quickly took out a packet of medicine from his arms and handed it over.

The prince took the medicine and said with a sinister look on his face: "Xiao Zhang, let's settle Concubine Chen's old debt from last time."

After that, he sprinkled the medicine into the food box, shook it vigorously, and then placed it at his feet with confidence. He went straight to Kunning Palace.

When we arrived at the place, the queen was working as a female worker.

Seeing this, the prince adjusted his breathing and walked in with a smile on his face: "Mother."

When she heard the prince's voice, the queen turned around and said, "The prince is here."

The prince hummed and took out the rock sugar snow pear: "Mother, my son left the palace today just in time to coincide with the opening of Zhangdi's restaurant. When he learned about my son's arrival, he specially asked me to bring a dessert for my mother to taste."

As he spoke, the prince filled up the rock sugar snow pear and handed it over.

A smile appeared on the queen's face: "Zhang'er is so filial, it's not in vain that I love him. Okay, then I'll give it a try."

After saying that, the queen took a bite and took a sip.

"How's it going, Queen Mother?"

"It tastes good, sweet and cool. People who drink it feel calm. Good, good."

After some comments, the queen was full of praise: "Zhang'er is thoughtful."

The prince couldn't help but sneer in his heart, he must have done it on purpose. If he hadn't been so filial, how could I have successfully implemented my plan?

"Come here, please send some of these desserts to His Majesty. Your Majesty is busy with official duties these days, so let him calm down."

"Yes, empress."

As the palace maid spoke, she picked up the food box and headed towards the chancellor's desk.

When he arrived at the place, the emperor was discussing with Prime Minister Fan Shidao, Shangshu Pushe Shen Changwen, Duke Jingling Cao Jingsheng, the King of Eastern Hunan and others about the affairs of Jingzhou refugees and the northern border.

"Your Majesty, the queen has sent me to deliver desserts."

After hearing the words of the palace maid, the emperor agreed and motioned to the palace maid to put them aside. Then he continued to say to Fan Shidao and Shen Changwen: "Jingzhou is the most important place for my great virtue. It connects Sichuan and Shu on the top and Wuhui on the bottom. It is also my great capital.

Germany's most important grain-producing area, if we can't provide timely relief to comfort the people and resume production, if the enemy from the north takes the opportunity to invade, I'm afraid our country will be in danger. I don't want to have a second Zhongli battle."

The two of them hurriedly clasped their hands and said, "What your Majesty said is true. I will deal with the Jingzhou matter immediately after I return."

The emperor nodded and asked King Xiangdong and Cao Jingsheng: "Before the Jingzhou issue is resolved, is there any way to relieve the pressure in the north?"

The big boss Cao Jingsheng kept his head down and kept silent. Making plans was not what he was good at. All he needed to do was charge into the formation and defeat the enemy. That was enough.

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen has an immature idea."

"Brother, please speak."

"Yes, Your Majesty. Since the founding of our country by Dade, the northern barbarians have invaded every year. They are just deceiving me that our country has not been established for a long time and have insufficient background. If we can use offense instead of defense and disrupt their rhythm first, it will be better than them being in our territory.

Are you burning, killing, and looting the land?"

The emperor pondered: "It's not that I haven't considered this. But the national treasury is really poor and cannot support a large-scale Northern Expedition."

Everyone was silent.

The war is fought with money, and there is no money in the national treasury. How can we still fight the war?

Snap, snap.

Everyone at the Chancellor's desk had sweat on their faces. No matter how hard they thought, they couldn't come up with a good idea.

Seeing everyone like this, the emperor couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, and turned to stare at the rock sugar snow pear next to him.

"Don't think about it anymore. Everyone, come on, have a drink to calm down."

The ministers thanked each other and took the rock sugar snow pear from the emperor's hand.

Just as everyone was putting their drinks to their mouths to drink, the maid who delivered the drinks earlier ran back in a panic: "Oh no, Your Majesty, something big has happened!"

The emperor, who had the drink in his mouth, stopped and frowned: "In the palace, everyone is in such a panic. What happened?"

The palace maid swallowed for a while and cried loudly: "Your Majesty, the empress has been poisoned."

Upon hearing this, the emperor stood up with a swish, his voice rose several degrees, and he threw away the drink in his hand: "What did you say! How could you be poisoned!"

The palace maid was in a panic and couldn't say anything, but the emperor didn't care. He flicked his sleeves and hurried to Kunning Palace.

Fan Shidao, King Xiangdong and other ministers hesitated for a while and then hurriedly chased after him.

"Zitong, Zitong!"

All the way to Kunning Palace, the emperor shouted in panic.

"His Majesty."

The maids, eunuchs, and doctors present were all kneeling on the ground, not daring to breathe. As for the prince, he had already burst into tears.

The emperor didn't care, he went directly to the bedside and took the hand of the unconscious queen. His heart was pounding, and he asked the imperial doctor in a bad tone: "What's going on?"

The imperial doctor was so frightened that he hurriedly stood up and clasped his fists and responded: "Return to your majesty. The minister is also checking the source of the poison. Now the suspected target can basically be confirmed."

"explain!"

The imperial doctor shivered and took out half a bowl of unfinished rock sugar pear: "Your Majesty, this is where the poison comes from."

The prince said it was impossible: "This is a drink sent by Brother Zhang. He is so filial, how could he harm the queen mother?"

The emperor didn't say anything. When the imperial doctor saw it, he gritted his teeth and took out a silver needle to experiment on the spot.

When he saw the blackened silver needle, the emperor's face was filled with gloom, and around him, the rich murderous aura almost condensed into substance.

King Xiangdong who followed behind him almost went into shock on the spot when he saw this scene.

"You are indeed my good nephew!" The emperor said calmly with narrowed eyes.

But the King of Xiangdong felt a huge murderous intention behind this dullness.

As the founding hero of the country, King Xiangdong clearly knew how the great virtue came to be. Wasn't it the man in front of him who, as a branch of the clan, usurped the world of his own clan and created a new dynasty?

This matter once became a topic that everyone in Beijing avoided talking about.

Now, history is repeating itself, and his son actually sent poisonous desserts to the palace. How should the emperor think about it?

There was a pop, and the King of Eastern Hunan knelt down, kowtowed, and begged: "Your Majesty, I have no way of teaching my son. I am willing to die to thank Your Majesty."

The emperor's eyes were filled with coldness, and he resisted the urge to draw his sword: "Brother, please get up. When I founded the country, I said that no matter what serious crime you commit in the future, I will not pursue it. What's more, you will not pursue this matter.

I don’t know. Someone is here!”

Li Wenying took a step forward with a serious look on her face, and said in a cold tone: "Your Majesty."

The emperor took out the sword from his waist and threw it on the ground, with an unquestionable attitude: "Catch that evil obstacle to me. Anyone who obstructs the resistance will be executed!"

"Father, Yu Xin is at Tongfu Restaurant. If Xiao Zhang is arrested, Yu Xin will definitely stop him," the prince reminded.

The emperor was completely angry: "If Yuxin dares to stop her, come to me with her head!"

Li Wenying looked shocked, that is your Majesty's favorite eldest princess.
