Chapter 846 Young General vs. Rich Lady 149
The Queen Mother said viciously, "If I die, you will never live again! You killed the heirs of the previous king, humiliated the concubines, and poisoned the King of Wei. I die to make your will known. Someone will expose the dirty things you have done!"
"Do you think I haven't done anything in these years? I have too many handles on you. I can easily find them. Everything I have done will leave traces. After I die, everything will be made public. At worst, we will all die together!"
The Regent raised his hand, then put it down after a while. The Queen Mother couldn't have any injuries on her face, otherwise people would suspect her.
He slapped the Queen Mother on the chest, causing her to cry out in pain. The Regent only felt relaxed and a feeling of pleasure spread throughout his body.
"Bitch! Do you think this can threaten me? The King of Wei died of illness, and the Queen Mother died of worry. Naturally, I can succeed to the throne. I don't care about any unfounded accusations."
"If one person makes a false accusation, I will kill that person. If ten people make a false accusation, I will kill ten people! You want to overthrow me? Dream on!"
The Queen Mother laughed. "I have no troops or power, and only a reputation. It's really useless. What if it's Huo Xiao? If General Huo knew about your crime and got the evidence, do you think he would take the opportunity to kill you?"
The Queen Mother struggled to sit up, walked herself in front of the Regent, and laughed: "Kill me! Kill me now! You can only deal with us orphans and widows. Do you dare to really fight Huo Xiao? Do you dare to fight against the Huo family army?"
"You are just a coward, hahahaha... The previous king was ten thousand times better than you! The previous king was diligent in government and loved the people, and he worked hard to govern the country, and he never treated the harem harshly. I never regret entering the palace, I just hate you! I would rather the country fall into the hands of others than fall into your hands!"
The Queen Mother's eyes were red, and she seemed to be crazy. She bit open the belt that bound her hands, ran off the bed, picked up the scissors on the ground, and tried to stab herself in the chest.
The Regent was really panicked. He came here today to negotiate and force the Queen Mother to surrender. He never thought of actually killing her.
Even if he ascends the throne one day, he wants to keep the queen mother by his side. The queen mother, who is of noble status and the most beloved concubine of the previous king, has become his plaything that cannot be seen in public. How interesting!
The Regent hugged the Queen Mother. In the chaos, the Queen Mother's palm was stabbed by the scissors, and the Regent was stabbed on the shoulder.
He endured the pain, hugged the queen mother tightly, and coaxed her in a low voice: "Xue'er, don't be angry, can you poke me a few more times to calm down? How can I bear to kill you? I love you the most, otherwise why would I risk the world's condemnation to have sex with you."
"I have long known that Wei Yin is not my own flesh and blood, but for your sake, I have not been able to bear to do it and have kept him until now. Be good, put down the scissors and talk it over nicely."
The Queen Mother knew clearly in her heart that the Regent did not take action because she had supported Gou Xun to oppose the Regent. The Regent did not dare to be too blatant for fear of being caught.
But the Regent could no longer suppress his ambition. He poisoned Yin'er and wanted him to die of illness. The Queen Mother did not care about her own life, but she wanted to save her child.
If those evil deeds were made public, she would be charged with committing adultery in the imperial palace. At worst, she could just die and go to the late king to apologize, but what about Yin'er?
The Queen Mother put down the scissors and could only give in for the time being. "I was trying to talk to you nicely. You were the one who started it. You can't blame me for being angry."
"I'm tired and don't want to do that. You promised not to force me, but you broke your promise!"
The regent found a piece of clothing and put it on the queen mother, then helped her to the bed to rest. He moved a chair and sat beside the bed, sighing, "Look at you. You are not young anymore, but you are still as impulsive as a teenage girl, always wanting to die. But I like this energy of yours."
"You must have heard about what happened in the court. Now all the ministers, including students from all over the country, are against Huo Xiao's atrocities. You should also know what kind of person Huo Xiao is. He has evil ambitions. Don't let him become a threat to you!"
"Tomorrow you will have the King of Wei issue an order to arrest Huo Xiao and put him in prison. I will take care of everything after that, so you don't have to worry about it."
The Regent took hold of the Queen Mother's hand and stroked it gently. The Queen Mother felt as sick as if she had eaten a fly, but she could only endure it for the time being.
"It's all my fault that I was too busy. I seldom came to see you in private, and I didn't spend much time with you. That made you misunderstand and feel anxious."
"Most of the Royal Guards are from noble families, and they are all proud and arrogant. I was afraid that you couldn't control them, so I have been managing them for you. Now that this matter is over, I will return the Royal Guards' tokens to the palace, and you should be able to rest assured."
The Queen Mother was indeed somewhat tempted. It was just a matter of issuing an imperial decree. There was still a lot of room for maneuver after Huo Xiao was imprisoned. Maybe she could take the opportunity to weaken Huo Xiao's power and make Huo Xiao truly serve Prince Wei.
But the Queen Mother was afraid that the Regent was deceiving her and was unable to make a decision.
The Regent King added: "I know you are worried about Yin'er's health. Although he is not my biological son, he is still my nephew. Tomorrow I will find a miracle doctor to come to the palace and treat Yin'er."
What this means is to detoxify Yin'er.
Both sides knew that Wei Yin had been poisoned, but no one would point it out for fear of leaving no room for maneuver.
The Queen Mother finally became happy, "If Yin'er's illness can be cured, it will only take an imperial decree. I will persuade Yin'er more."
The Queen Mother still didn't say a word. The Regent was annoyed, but still looked worried. "Then you should have a good rest. I will come to see you another day. Is the injury on your hand serious? I will call the imperial physician to come and see you tomorrow."
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "It's just a minor injury. It's nothing serious. The Regent should go back as soon as possible. The wound on your body should also be treated with medicine as soon as possible."
The Regent left reluctantly, and the Queen Mother watched him go, as if there was a deep friendship between the two.
The next morning, more and more people gathered at the palace gate, and some of them even crashed into the city wall, looking like they would never give up until death.
The "miracle doctor" that the Regent had found entered the palace, took the Prince Wei's pulse, and then prescribed a few pills, saying in a serious tone:
"Your Majesty has been ill for a long time and it cannot be cured overnight. Take one pill of this medicine a day for three days. After that, I will go to the palace to diagnose and prescribe medicine for Your Majesty."
The Queen Mother knew that the Regent was not so kind-hearted, and that without the imperial decree, the Regent would not detoxify Yin'er.
Unfortunately, she consulted many doctors, but no one could completely cure the poison. They could only relieve the symptoms and delay the onset of the poison.
"Wan Ping, send the miracle doctor out, there will be a huge reward!"
After sending the "miracle doctor" away, the Queen Mother summoned the imperial physician, carefully checked the pills, and asked the eunuchs to test the medicine. Only after confirming that there was no problem did the Prince of Wei take the medicine.
Wei Yin was lying on the bed. The Queen Mother nervously held Wei Yin's hand and asked, "How do you feel, Yin'er? Are you feeling better?"
Wei Yin patted his mother's hand and comforted her: "I'm sorry to have worried you, but I feel much better now. I feel lighter and my breathing is smoother. In fact, it's fine when I'm not sick. Don't cry, I'm fine."
