Chapter 409 Persuasion
Although the King of Qi was not her biological son, he was raised by her side.
She has always been emotionally indifferent, but in this deep palace, she sometimes can't help feeling lonely.
In particular, her spiritual support collapsed. The King of Qi, who was a little baby at that time, more or less brought her some comfort and helped her to hold on.
This feeling alone is extremely different.
The Queen did not want to hear the bad news about the Prince of Qi.
The imperial physician carefully fed the King of Qi the decoction of medicine brought by the palace maid. He then examined the King of Qi again, confirming he was alright. He then left a bottle of pills with the eunuchs, instructing them to take out two pills and feed them to the King if the fever persisted after two or three hours.
After giving the instructions, the imperial physician left with the medicine box on his back.
The queen waved her hand to dismiss the palace maids and ordered her confidants to guard the palace door.
Only the Queen and the Prince of Qi were left in the palace.
The Queen quietly looked at the sleeping face of the Prince of Qi, and vaguely realized that it had been a long time since she had looked at him carefully. Ever since he was crowned prince and left the palace to set up his own residence, she had rarely seen him again.
Although he is not a particularly intelligent person and does not have any sophisticated means, he is a filial and obedient child.
If he was not out on business, he would come to the palace to pay his respects on any day when it was time to pay his respects.
If he went out on business, he would collect some things and bring them back for her to keep her fresh.
Whenever I see that her condition is serious, I become extremely anxious.
As long as it was her instruction, he would listen to her and do it even if he had other ideas in his mind.
Because in the King of Qi's heart, she is his mother.
The queen felt a pang of pain in her heart. She pulled the quilt over his chest and touched his forehead with her palm.
The King of Qi opened his eyes with trembling eyelashes, and dimly saw the Queen sitting beside the bed. He couldn't help but tear up, "Mother, I thought I would never see you again."
The queen looked at his red eyes and wiped them with a handkerchief: "You are such a grown man, yet you are still crying in front of your mother."
The King of Qi had escaped death and was extremely frightened. He was also ill, and when he suddenly saw his own mother, he couldn't help but show his vulnerable side.
"Chong'er, your mother's wish is that you live your life in peace."
The queen realized a problem. She hoped that the Prince of Qi would be a leisurely prince and live a peaceful and stable life.
But she did not tell the King of Qi about her thoughts, so the King of Qi was obsessed with fighting for the throne and almost lost his life.
"Didn't you say that I, your son, would be the ruler of the world? We can't let the throne fall into the hands of Concubine Shu and her son, otherwise we will have no way to survive."
The King of Qi said, "I have always kept your words in mind and followed your instructions. When I grew up and understood the interests involved, I realized that you were wrong. The throne must belong to me. Not only Shufei and her son, but anyone else would have no place for us in Northern Qi."
From the moment he understood that the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, he regarded the throne as something in his pocket.
Anyone who covets the throne is his enemy.
But now the Queen Mother said that she hopes he can live his life in peace.
It was simply to persuade him not to fight for the throne.
But he had been planning for so many years, and the throne was within his grasp. Suddenly, his mother asked him to give it up. How could he be willing to do that?
When the queen heard what the King of Qi said, she turned her face away.
When Yizhen died that year, she was devastated and depressed, and she was bedridden and never recovered.
In the autumn of the following year, the Northern Qi emperor organized an autumn hunt and took his concubine with him. Because the temporary palace was built at the foot of the mountain where the royal hunting grounds were located, the Northern Qi emperor planned to stay in the palace for a while after the autumn hunt to accompany her to recuperate.
The Emperor of Northern Qi took his ministers to hunt in the hunting ground, while the concubines stayed in the palace to enjoy the hunt.
On this day, Concubine Shu drugged her personal maid and framed her for having an affair with a guard. However, she got the news in advance and took her men to clean up the mess before Concubine Shu could find out.
Although she was bedridden, she still held the power to govern the six palaces, while Concubine Shu was the most favored concubine in the harem by the Emperor of Northern Qi and had no power at all.
Shufei was originally an extremely ambitious woman, and had long been eyeing the power in her hands.
If the news of her maidservant and the guard having an affair came to light, they could use the excuse that she was unable to manage her subordinates and was unable to manage the affairs of the harem to take away her power.
This incident was just a harem intrigue, not something she took seriously. However, Concubine Shu's dirty tricks brought back a memory that had been buried deep in her heart. Back when she was in the Eastern Palace, Concubine Shu had used the same dirty trick against Yizhen.
