The officials looked at the prime minister and his wife, their faces changed, some with disbelief, some with contempt and disgust.
Some officials involved in the incident had no time to think about anything else and were tense all over.
The situation in the palace was already clear. Even without the phoenix, the little princess could still predict and find out the truth.
Their secrets cannot be hidden.
"emperor......"
At this time, a minister knelt in the hall and said, "My wife is not feeling well. I beg the emperor and the empress dowager to sympathize with me and allow me to take my wife back home to rest first..."
The emperor raised his head and looked at the person in front of him. All his previous political views were on the side of the empress dowager.
The reason why you are begging to leave at this time is clear.
"Okay, I agree. To show my sincerity, I allow you to present gifts first."
The minister's face suddenly changed, but he knew there was no room for maneuver, so he had to signal his wife to go forward with him.
[Hmm? Who is this? ]
The hall returned to calm, and Jun Baozhu's childish voice came to mind.
[Head of the Ministry of Personnel? Is he the minister who sidelined my mother, father, and brother and caused chaos in the Ministry of Personnel? ]
[An official who also colluded with the Ministry of Personnel and other officials, big and small, to influence personnel matters, making my father often very passive? ]
[During the last palace examination, the emperor arranged new people for each department. They immediately jumped up and down, gathered a few people, and were waiting to go to the palace to ask for help and file a complaint on the day when the empress dowager returned? ]
[I thought so! You dare to be so arrogant and openly oppose the emperor. Aren't you courting death? ]
[It turns out that it’s not the case, it’s because of the Queen Mother’s support! ]
When the officials heard this, although they already knew the truth, they felt particularly relieved when the little princess tore off the man's face in public!
As an official in the court, even if he has his own little worries, as long as he does not go beyond the norm, they will not reach the point of being hated by both humans and gods.
But these guys are so bad!
They completely control the assessment and promotion of officials, and the development of candidates after entering officialdom also depends entirely on the mood of this group of people.
Not to mention that they could explain it clearly, even their children and disciples would have difficulty in development based on their own abilities. Not to mention the students, even the officials in the court complained.
The head of the Ministry of Personnel had a layer of sweat on his forehead and couldn't help wiping it with his sleeve.
Then, the little princess’s revelations were not over yet.
[He is not the Queen Mother's son, nor is he a relative, so why is he so obedient? ]
[Could it be a dog raised by the Queen Mother? ]
[So, you can risk your life to go against your father? ]
A low laugh was heard from His Highness, the head of the Ministry of Personnel looked embarrassed, and his wife lowered her head, and it seemed that she was indeed a little weak.
Jun Baozhu indeed noticed something unusual and turned her attention to the wife of the head of the Ministry of Personnel.
[Madam in charge...]
【Are you really ill? 】
The system revealed information from his sea of consciousness, and Jun Baozhu's eyes flickered.
[What? The wife of the head of the company encountered an accident more than ten years ago and almost died? ]
[Since then, he has been bedridden and in critical condition? ]
[Later, he met a miracle doctor and was able to walk and gradually recover as normal? ]
[Is it just that your physical condition is weak and you seldom go out? ]
[What kind of miracle doctor is this? He is so amazing, how could he be invited by him? ]
The ministers seemed to be thinking about something, and then they heard the little princess' voice continue to come.
[More than ten years ago, the master, who had just entered the officialdom, was the top scholar of that year, and was appointed by the emperor to serve in the Hanlin Academy? ]
[Not long after my father ascended the throne, that is, in the second year, did the Queen Mother's temperament change? ]
It was originally an unrelated matter, but after being pointed out by Jun Baozhu, it seemed that many things, the hidden clues, gradually emerged.
【But......】
Jun Baozhu's voice was puzzled. [He should be very grateful to the miracle doctor, but why did he obey the Queen Mother's orders?]
[Shouldn't I find a way to repay the miracle doctor? What's the connection with the Queen Mother? ]
[The Empress Dowager’s family seems to have nothing to do with him...]
Everyone in the hall seemed to be lost in thought, except for the Queen Mother, who gripped the handles of the tables and chairs tightly, her hands trembling slightly.
Just as Jun Baozhu was about to continue speaking out her thoughts, a slight cry of surprise suddenly came from the hall.
"Queen Mother!"
"Queen Mother!"
......
The Queen Mother closed her eyes and slid off the chair.
The emperor took a deep breath and a trace of worry flashed across his face, but in the next moment, a trace of doubt flashed across his eyes.
His Highness and all the ministers were watching, with a few of them secretly rejoicing.
The Dafeng Dynasty attached great importance to filial piety. Even though the banquet was important, the emperor was not suitable to continue hosting the banquet for any reason.
"Someone come!"
The Queen took Jun Baozhu from the Emperor, and Concubine Li took it from her.
The emperor and the crown prince stood up and personally accompanied the imperial physician to send the empress dowager back to the Cining Palace.
The Queen continued to host the banquet. The Queen Mother was ill. If the Queen continued with the previous process, she would be criticized by the ministers...
Therefore, the Queen allowed Concubine Li to leave first. The ministers were disappointed that the little princess was not there.
But because the little princess was not there, the palace maids could come in and serve normally. The queen asked the palace maids to collect the ministers' gifts on her behalf, and they did not have to present them individually...
In less than half an hour, the full moon banquet ended abruptly.
On the way back, Jun Baozhu had a lot of psychological activities.
[Hmm? Isn't this my full moon party? Why are you carrying me away? ]
The system answered within the sea of consciousness.
[Because the Queen Mother fainted, it is not appropriate to hold a grand banquet. The banquet is about to end? 】
[The Queen Mother usually seems to be in good health, right? How come she fainted so soon? ]
[Is it because the head of the Ministry of Personnel was discovered by my father to be abnormal? At that time, I saw that the head of the Ministry of Personnel looked guilty...]
[I haven't had enough of the gossip yet! I always feel that there is some connection between the head of the Ministry of Personnel, the mysterious doctor, and the Queen Mother...]
[Unfortunately, the Queen Mother fainted before she finished eating the melon! ]
[Queen Mother, are you pretending? ]
Cining Palace.
"how?"
The emperor asked the chief judge of the Imperial Medical Bureau.
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager's breathing is disordered and her Qi and blood are deficient. This is probably because she has not rested well recently and has been overthinking.
Just take good care of yourself.”
"Why did you suddenly faint?"
"The imperial doctors have not found any major problems so far. We speculate that it may be caused by emotions, such as anger or shock. Extreme joy or sorrow can easily lead to acute illness."
The queen glanced behind the curtain at the bedridden queen mother, then nodded to the judge, "You take good care of him."
When the emperor and the crown prince returned to Xuanzheng Hall, the full moon banquet in Xuanhua Hall had already ended.
"Father..."
The second prince came.
"Where is Xu Minren? And the Ministry of Personnel's Zhang Qingping?
Ha! Zhang Qingping, what a good name! "
There was a sneer on the emperor's lips.
"Reporting to the Emperor, the rest of the people have already left the palace, but Prime Minister Xu and his wife were kept by the Empress Dowager to reminisce about the past, and are still in Xuanhua Palace.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhang were invited to another room by their son and minister, and the imperial physician was arranged to treat Mrs. Zhang. "
"What does the imperial physician say?"
