Chapter 087 Chapter 87

After that, the Queen Mother left. Not long after, Li Qingshan heard that the Queen Mother had talked to many staff members late at night. Many old ministers said that this would damage the reputation of the royal family, and asked the emperor to talk to the Queen Mother.

Li Qingshan was also very curious about what was going on, so he sent someone to check it out. He found that those were not staff members but male favorites. His eyes twitched, and he sent someone to tell the Queen Mother that he hoped that the Queen Mother could talk to them during the day.

Although it is not a good thing to indulge in lust in the daytime, it is still a little better to change from night to day. At least it doesn't sound like they are doing something □□.

After hearing this, the Queen Mother agreed and changed the time for meeting with the male concubine to daytime. However, many people who passed by during the day heard the obscene music coming from the Queen Mother's palace and felt that their ears were damaged.

The rumors in the capital city went up a level.

Li Qingshan sent people to adjust the frequency and number of palace maids and eunuchs passing by the Queen Mother's palace during the day, and also sent people to clean up all kinds of explosive rumors in the capital city.

I thought I could be quiet for a while, but unexpectedly, within a few days, new rumors came out, saying that the Queen Mother was pregnant.

Li Qingshan took a breath of cool air and felt a dull pain in his heart.

He asked the Imperial Hospital and the Imperial Kitchen, and after comparing the situation with the previous one, he found that there was indeed a change, so he went to consult an old doctor.

When the old doctor heard the symptoms, he frowned and stroked his beard, glanced at him, and felt like he didn't know what to say.

Li Qingshan let him talk freely.

He cupped his hands and said that it sounded like the patient was pregnant and was taking medicine to protect the fetus.

Li Qingshan almost fainted.

The worst result has appeared.

In fact, it doesn't matter if the Queen Mother really wants to give birth to a few children. Anyway, she can definitely afford it with her big family and big business. It just doesn't sound good. If the Queen Mother dies because of this, it will be even more difficult to accept.

The worse result is that the Queen Mother's purpose of having a child is to overthrow Li Qingshan, who is now on the throne.

Li Qingshan hesitated for a moment and sent someone to test the Queen Mother, wanting to know what she meant. The Queen Mother said that she just wanted to keep the pregnancy safe and then give birth naturally, and she had no other ideas. Li

Qingshan reluctantly believed it.

Not long after, the fruit was ripe and the child cried loudly in the Queen Mother's palace. Li Qingshan was too lazy to cover it up. After all, it was not his child, and the Queen Mother didn't seem to care. Why was he wasting his time?

At the full moon banquet, the Queen Mother poisoned the child and contacted her male favorites to control some soldiers. She surrounded the entire area of ​​the full moon banquet and focused on controlling Li Qingshan.

Li Qingshan drank two glasses of wine and felt dizzy. He propped his forehead in his seat and smiled, "What's wrong?"

The Queen Mother stood up, looked at him coldly, and said condescendingly, "Today I will take your life and let my biological son take the throne!"

Li Qingshan took a breath and looked up at the Queen Mother, like a child looking up at his mother and asked, "For so many years, I have been in your heart, but I am not even as important as a newborn child?"

"This is my biological son!" The Queen Mother sneered.

Li Qingshan was silent for a while, slowly poured himself a glass of wine, took a sip and said, "So this is the reason, okay, I understand it now."

His voice was very calm, and he sounded like he was ready to be killed.

The Queen Mother thought he had given up resistance, and waved her hand to ask the soldiers around her to kill him.

He laughed and poured another glass of wine. The soldiers around him were in high spirits and walked towards him with weapons in hand. He spilled the glass of wine on the ground.

Suddenly, there was a shouting sound all around. The Queen Mother

was stunned for a moment, looked around, and asked loudly: "What happened?"

A soldier ran over and reported: "A general led a large group of soldiers to break into the palace gate, holding torches in their hands and coming here! They killed many of our companions!"

Li Qingshan was drunk, leaning on the table, supporting his head with one hand, and a smile of planning and strategizing slowly appeared on his pale face.

The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, then walked to Li Qingshan angrily, grabbing his collar and asking loudly: "It's you! Is it you? You did it! How could you do this?"

Li Qingshan looked up at the Queen Mother and smiled calmly: "I don't know what you are talking about."

The Queen Mother was furious and kicked over the low table: "Don't try to play dumb here!"

Li Qingshan stood up, straightened his clothes, stood up slowly, sighed and laughed: "What do you want?"

"Let them leave now! I can still pretend that nothing happened," the Queen Mother looked at him coldly, with no tenderness in her eyes, only disgust, "otherwise I will kill you and let you be buried with me!"

Li Qingshan squinted his eyes and said with emotion: "Although I knew that I didn't mean much to you, I was still a little surprised to hear you say it yourself."

"Don't be so hypocritical!" the Queen Mother said angrily.

"You can kill me," Li Qingshan said with a calm smile, "If you are not worried about your own son being buried in the sea of ​​fire, come and kill me!"

He just stood there, like a lonely green bamboo.

The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, then turned her head to look at the back hall, and said weakly: "My son is still fine in the back, and there are many palace maids and eunuchs taking care of him. How could there be a fire? I am not afraid of you! I will not believe your nonsense, don't try to deceive me!"

Before she finished speaking, she heard a burst of shouting from behind, both men and women, in a panic, mixed with chaotic footsteps: "Oh no, there's a fire, "Oh no, there's a fire! Someone come and help! The little prince is still in there!"

The queen mother's face turned pale, and she rushed over in two steps to get her son out of the fire, but she stopped after two steps, took a deep breath, turned around step by step, and stared at Li Qingshan closely with bloodshot eyes. If looks could kill, he would have been cut into pieces by now.

He just stood there.

The Queen Mother suddenly knelt down and said, "I am not as skilled as others. I lost. I know I was wrong. Please send someone to save my son. Don't hurt him. I can kill myself, but he knows nothing and has done nothing. He is still so young."

The Queen Mother couldn't help crying, "He has never left this city. He can't die like this! I am willing to use everything I have to keep him alive. Even if you drive him out and give him to the poorest peasant woman, as long as he is alive, I won't ask for anything."

"Do you think it's possible?" Li Qingshan took a step forward: "If you don't remove the roots of the grass, it will grow again in the spring breeze. I don't intend to let him seek revenge on me in the future. What good will it do for me to let him live?

You deserve to die for usurping the throne. Unless you win, you deserve to be cut into pieces. You use the punishment you deserve to exchange for benefits. What a good plan!"

Li Qingshan clapped his hands, his face full of admiration and sarcasm.

The Queen Mother suddenly raised her head, pulled out a small dagger from her sleeve, and stabbed Li Qingshan. Li Qingshan dodged to the side. The Queen Mother shouted: "What are you still standing there for? Kill him! Didn't you hear what he just said?

Conspiring to usurp the throne is a capital crime, and the nine clans will be punished. You can't escape even if you get married. It's better to kill him and bury him with him!"

Li Qingshan stood by and said: "Those who lay down their weapons and surrender now can be dealt with leniently, and their nine clans will not be punished. Those who are now working for me will be punished. , you can make meritorious service with your crime, and you don't have to die!

Anyone who captures the enemy's head will be rewarded with 100 taels of gold and 1,000 acres of fertile land! Dare I ask, who is willing to obey my order? "

The Queen Mother knew that the situation was hopeless, and rushed to Li Qingshan: "I want you to be buried with me! I will not forgive you even if I die and become a ghost!"

Before the Queen Mother rushed to Li Qingshan, a soldier with a weapon next to her chopped off her head, and blood splattered. Seeing that the Queen Mother had fallen down, other soldiers rushed over for fear that they would not have time to chop her off.

The soldiers chopped each one with a knife. The Queen Mother was still a little angry at first, and stared at Li Qingshan who was standing next to her. After being chopped off, she lay on the ground and died. She had no time to do anything, and it looked like she died with her eyes open.

The ground was covered with blood. After the soldiers killed the Queen Mother, they immediately knelt on the ground, threw away their weapons, expressed their surrender, and pledged allegiance to Li Qingshan.

Li Qingshan nodded: "You have done a good job. After the matter is over, I will fulfill my promise and give you the treatment you deserve according to what I said."

The soldiers were very excited, and someone immediately said: "We will open the door and ask others to come in to protect your majesty's safety!"

Li Qingshan said: "Just open the door, don't be too ostentatious."

The soldiers nodded and rushed out to open the door. After the door was opened, the soldiers outside drove straight in.

The leading general walked up to Li Qingshan, knelt down with a clang, his armor trembled, and he clasped his hands in front of him, saluted to Li Qingshan and said: "I am sorry for being late in rescuing the emperor! Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Li Qingshan smiled, helped him up and said: "Don't be so polite. My dear minister, you have come to rescue the emperor. You are a meritorious minister. After the matter is over, I will definitely reward you well to thank you all for your kindness."

The general With tears in his eyes, he stood up and looked at Li Qingshan and said, "With your majesty's trust, I am willing to serve you until my death, and I will never regret it!"

Li Qingshan smiled and patted his shoulder: "Okay."

After that, everyone cleaned up the mess, cleaned up the dirt, swept the garbage, dealt with the corpse, replaced the items, and rewarded according to merit. In order to show solemnity and gratitude, and to celebrate the victory, Li Qingshan announced a celebration banquet.

This time, everyone drank wine and sang, expressed their feelings to the moon, ate meat and picked fruits, talked about the past and the present, watched beauties dancing, listened to musicians playing, and had a lot of fun. There was no danger.

However, after the celebration banquet, Li Qingshan found that Furong was gone. When he went to check, the room was empty, and there was not a hair left for him.
