Chapter 166 Xiao 7 seduces the king to sit on the throne
After returning to the palace, Ye Qingyan and Leng Jiuyuan sat on chairs to rest.
Leng Jiuyuan was thinking about the affairs of the court with a cold look on his face.
Ye Qingyan patted his hand and comforted him, "Jiuyuan, don't be angry.
Even after you handed over the military power, he still wasn't at ease. He didn't care about our past brotherhood and was determined to put you to death.
If he does it again, don't blame me for being rude.
We will rule the country, you will be the emperor, and I, the evil woman, will sit on the phoenix throne."
Leng Jiuyuan just nodded silently. He felt chilled. He didn't expect his brother to be so anxious. Perhaps those who are more powerful than their master must die.
Seeing that Leng Jiuyuan did not refute, Ye Qingyan knew that he had already lost hope in the emperor. His father wanted to kill him, and his brother, who was born to the same mother, also wanted to kill him.
Leng Jiuyuan finally spoke: "I may not be in the palace these days. I need to make some preparations to seize power and prevent any trouble before it happens."
Ye Qingyan smiled, "I support you. We have money and bombs, and we can't kill him."
Leng Jiuyuan held Ye Qingyan in his arms and said, "Just take care of your pregnancy and leave the outside affairs to me."
He said that and left.
The emperor lay on the bed coldly, becoming angrier the more he thought about it.
After the banquet, Concubine Ning came to the emperor's bed. Her soft and gentle voice was like a breeze, as if it was teasing Leng Xiaoran's heartstrings: "Your Majesty, seeing you like this, I am so sad."
The mist in her clear eyes quickly spread out, like a layer of hazy gauze, rippling in the waves, and then drops of tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes, like pearls.
At this moment, she was in tears, and anyone who saw her would feel pity for her.
Leng Xiaoran opened his gloomy eyes and asked, "Have all the ministers left?"
Concubine Ning nodded and said, "Since you're not here, they're not in the mood anymore, so they left the table one after another after a while."
The emperor blinked and continued, "I am assured that you are doing things safely.
Come, go to the storehouse and give the phoenix crown and jade screen to Concubine Ning."
Concubine Ning smiled happily and knelt down to express her gratitude: "Your Majesty, I thank you!"
At this time, a young eunuch brought the boiled medicine. Concubine Ning helped the emperor up, took the medicine bowl, and began to feed him the medicine.
After a long time, the bowl of medicine was almost empty, and she used a handkerchief to wipe the medicine from the corner of the emperor's mouth.
Concubine Ning also advised him: "Your Majesty, the Prince Regent wants to live a leisurely life, why don't you grant him his wish.
If he were given a fiefdom far away, such as southern Yunnan or Bashu, he would not be able to enter the capital unless summoned, and even if he wanted to rebel, it would not be easy.
You can also send some spies to monitor their every move at all times, and then you can rest assured."
The emperor lowered his eyes, thinking.
At this time, the eunuch rushed in and said, "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened. Except for the boxes of gold and silver in the treasury, everything else has disappeared."
Leng Xiaoran was immediately furious. He was a little unconvinced: "What nonsense are you talking about? The national treasury is the wealth accumulated by successive emperors. There are countless gold, silver and jewels. How could it disappear out of thin air?"
The young eunuch knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. This is true. The guard commander said that no one has ever been there, but the things have disappeared."
"I want to go and see. I don't believe it. Even if ten carriages are used to transport the clothes to Yundang Mountain outside the city, it will take dozens of days to change my clothes."
Leng Xiaoran put on his robe, sat on the dragon chariot, and walked towards the national treasury.
When they opened the doors and came into the warehouse, they saw boxes of gold and silver on the ground, as if they had been left there deliberately.
And those gold, pearls, jade, and many priceless treasures all disappeared.
"Who is it? Which bastard stole the national treasury?"
There were stars in his eyes and he felt dizzy. He held his head with one hand.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the young eunuch hurried forward to support him, and the emperor then fainted.
From then on, he fell ill and never recovered.
The news that the treasury had been robbed spread like wildfire throughout the palace.
When the retired emperor found out, he went to the treasury to check, and found that there was only gold and silver inside. He was very angry.
He returned to his bedroom, stroked his beard, his eyes deep: "This thief is quite particular. If it were someone else, he would have emptied the national treasury.
If these gold and silver are gone, the fall of Eastern Qin will not be far away."
Queen Mother Chu ordered someone to bring the ginseng soup she had personally prepared to the bedroom, "Grand Emperor, this is the nourishing ginseng soup I personally prepared, according to the prescription prescribed by the imperial physician.
I've added more than a dozen kinds of precious herbs to it. Please try it while it's hot. If you think it tastes okay, I'll have someone deliver it to you every day."
The emperor nodded, took the bowl of soup and began to drink it slowly.
The Queen Mother had a kind smile on her face, but there was a hint of murderous intent in her eyes, which then disappeared in an instant.
I thought to myself: Your Majesty, I’m sorry, I really have no choice.
As long as you are here, the emperor will have more confidence to deal with the ninth brother. I don't want them to turn against each other.
There is no such father in the world. You can not care about him or pay attention to him, but you cannot kill him.
You regard him as a thorn in your side and think that he is trying to usurp the throne, but in fact it is the second and fourth brothers who are trying to rebel.
Poor old No. 9 in my family, he has never had the care of his father or the love of his mother since childhood.
When they grow up and go to the battlefield, why don’t other princes go, but let my ninth prince go?
Just go. As a son of the royal family, you must protect your family and your country.
You actually sent assassins to kill him. He is your son and has your blood in his body. How could you do this?
She smiled and said, "Your Majesty, how does this soup taste?"
"Not bad! Okay, I'll bring you soup tomorrow.
Your Majesty, do you still remember that the storehouse of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion was robbed overnight, as well as the Bai Mansion and the two princes' mansions. It was exactly the same as the theft of the national treasury. It must have been done by the same group of people.
They all went to the Jingzhao Yin, but found nothing.
The difference is that not a single penny was left in their treasury, while the gold and silver were left in the national treasury.
Being able to move things out of the warehouse in such a short time must require some special abilities.
The picture book mentioned a Qiankun bag. If you have it, you can just wave your hand and anything will be put into the bag. This might be the work of some master."
Leng Aotian seemed to have found the murderer when he heard this. He shouted, "Come here, go check what the princess of the Regent Palace is doing. She is a disciple of the Qingyang Sect and knows some unorthodox skills. I think she has some treasures."
"Yes!" Someone walked out.
Queen Mother Chu felt helpless because the retired emperor always regarded the ninth prince as his enemy.
However, the emperor only lived for this one day.
"Grand Emperor, I have something else to do, so I will return to the palace first."
After Queen Mother Chu finished speaking, she left.
