"Yu'er." The emperor was silent for a moment, his eyes deepened, "Mingzhu was poisoned, was it Doctor Yan who did it?"

Ji Weiyu was silent for a moment, and nodded slowly: "Yes."

"What happened?"

"Ji Mingzhu barged into my bedroom rudely and cursed Doctor Yan, so Doctor Yan couldn't help but vent his anger on her." Ji Weiyu sighed, "Doctor Yan has a very good temper, he poisoned her as soon as he said he would, and I didn't even react."

The emperor was shocked, he poisoned her as soon as he said he would?

Who is Doctor Yan? He dared to poison the princess of the royal family, was he afraid that the queen mother would catch her and torture her?

The emperor's mind turned slightly: "What are the symptoms after Mingzhu was poisoned?"

"When the poison takes effect, it's like death."

The emperor was shocked again, subconsciously turned his head to look at the window, and then waved to signal all the guards to go out and close the door.

"Yu'er." The emperor pulled Ji Weiyu to the inner hall and said in a low voice: "Can this poison be used on the Queen Mother?"

Ji Weiyu was stunned, and then whispered: "It should be possible, as long as she has the opportunity to get close to the Queen Mother, but the emperor knows that it is dangerous for Doctor Yan to come alone to detoxify his son. Even if she is good at poison, she will inevitably fall into danger after entering the palace. If she gets close to the Queen Mother, she will be besieged by the guards in the Queen Mother's palace, which will be very dangerous."

That's true.

The emperor pursed his lips and fell silent. The Queen Mother has always been cautious, especially against doctors.

There is a young female doctor in the An Palace. Even the Imperial Hospital must be checked repeatedly by the female doctor before treating the Queen Mother.

In addition to medication, the Queen Mother was even more careful about her diet. Every meal was tested for poison. If there was any accident, she would know how many innocent people would die.

The emperor's feelings towards the Queen Mother during those years were really unforgettable, and he still has lingering fears.

"Your Majesty, don't worry for the time being." Ji Weiyu comforted her in a gentle voice, "It will take a day or two to eliminate the rebels in the court. You need to plan slowly, and don't rush."

Although Ji Weiyu knew Yan Qing's ability, even if he entered the palace alone, he would really be helpless, but he didn't dare to take risks without full confidence.

Besides, there was no need to take this risk.

The emperor nodded slowly: "Well, I was too impatient."

He really took it for granted.

Even if Doctor Yan is good at using poison, it doesn't mean that she is invincible. Once she enters the palace, the heavy palace walls block her way out. The Queen Mother only wants to kill her, and she has no chance to escape.

Moreover, if the Queen Mother asks people to prepare crossbows, she won't even have the chance to use poison, and she will probably be buried in the palace.

The emperor temporarily gave up this idea.

"I'll go back to the palace first, you have a good rest." The emperor turned and walked out, "By the way, ask Doctor Yan what reward she wants later. She saved your life, no matter what, I will try my best to satisfy her."

Ji Weiyu wanted to say that the emperor could not afford to give Yan Qing anything.

Even if he could afford it, she would not accept it.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will remember this life-saving favor." Ji Weiyu sent the emperor out. "Your Majesty, try not to leave the palace again in the future. Arrange more imperial guards in Qiankun Palace. After dealing with the Marquis of Loyalty, be extra careful."

The emperor smiled faintly: "Are you worried that the Queen Mother will cause trouble for me?"

"The Marquis of Loyalty is the Queen Mother's favorite one. How can the Queen Mother remain indifferent if Your Majesty kills him?" Ji Weiyu said indifferently, "Besides, the Queen Mother's birthday is coming soon. How can she be angry if her most beloved male favorite is killed at this critical moment?"

The emperor nodded: "Be angry, you will take this step sooner or later."

He was worried that if he continued to hesitate, when he was a little older, he would not have the courage to compete with the Queen Mother.

The forces belonging to the Queen Mother's party all support the prince. In a few years, the Queen Mother will definitely find a reason to let the prince govern the country and completely replace him.

By then, he, the emperor, will probably be stripped of his power and become a complete puppet.

Thinking of this, the emperor was in a gloomy mood and quickly left with his personal guards.

Yan Qing walked out of the hall, looked at the emperor's back as he left, and said indifferently: "Is your emperor the Queen Mother's biological son?"

"Hmm?" Ji Weiyu turned to look at Yan Qing, with a sigh on his face, "If it was a biological son, it would be great. It was because he was a biological son that the emperor was unable to be ruthless when he was young and missed the opportunity, resulting in more than ten years of being controlled by the Queen Mother."

Yan Qing was silent.

It seems that biological sons can also resist the temptation of power. In this regard, the Queen Mother of Yong and the Queen Mother of Chu are very similar.

After all, her mother was only cold to her daughter, but she was wrong to her own son.

Yan Qing turned around and walked into the palace.

"Starting tomorrow, we will officially challenge the Queen Mother." Ji Weiyu followed behind her, "It's really exciting to think about it."

Yan Qing tilted his head to look at him: "How exciting?"

"Seeing the Queen Mother, who has always been arrogant, fall and finally fail miserably, isn't it exciting?"

Yan Qing sat down on the brocade couch, leaning his body, and said lazily: "This palace was also arrogant in Yongshi. If the Queen Mother and the Emperor can successfully get rid of this palace, it will probably be very exciting."

"The Queen Mother and the Emperor want to kill Your Highness?" Ji Weiyu's face changed, and his eyes suddenly became cold and sharp, "I will cut them into pieces!"

Yan Qing tilted his head and glared at him: "You are almost saving your own life, who else can you cut into pieces?"

Ji Weiyu's momentum weakened: "Your Highness, give me some face."

Yan Qing said nothing and raised her chin: "My behavior is very different from that of the Queen Mother of Chu."

"Your Highness is the same as the Queen Mother." Ji Weiyu showed her dog-leg spirit again, "The Queen Mother is greedy for power, while Your Highness is afraid of power."

Yan Qing's voice was casual: "I am a powerful person."

"Yes, yes, that's right." Ji Weiyu nodded, "Your Highness is unparalleled in strength. I cannot find anyone as powerful as His Highness in the world. Your Highness has the confidence to be arrogant."

Yan Qingman looked at him carefully: "Ji Weiyu, you look nothing like the holy and noble Son of God."

Ji Weiyu's expression paused, and she sat down opposite her melancholy: "Your Highness Shengming, I originally wanted to be a son of god."

"Then what do you want to do?"

"I want to be His Highness's slave."

Yan Qing paused and slowly raised her eyes to look at him: "Do you want to know how I always treat obedient slaves?"

Ji Weiyu quickly shook his head.

Yan Qing spoke calmly: "I thought you wanted to give it a try."

Ji Weiyu really wanted to try it.

But now is obviously the best time. He said: "When the Chu State incident is over, His Highness and I will return to Suzaku City. It will be too late to try again."

Yan Qing raised his eyebrows, his eyes subtle.

"Let's get down to business first." Ji Weiyu coughed lightly, stood up and walked to the study, "I'm going to get the palace map and the topographic map of the Princess's Mansion for His Highness, so that His Highness can first understand the defensive positions of the Imperial Palace and Princess' Mansion."

Yan Qing stared at his back without saying anything, with a bit of deep thought in her eyes.
