Chapter 571: Prince Zhennan Revolts
Feng Chuankai slept for three days and three nights before finally waking up.
But his legs had lost feeling, and no matter how hard he tried he couldn't stand up.
"Why is this happening to me? Why can't I stand up?" Feng Chuankai asked loudly in horror.
Yao Xinling was three steps away from the bed, her face full of heartache and her tone of worry, "Your Majesty, please calm down first. The imperial physician said that it was because of the medicine you took before, the effect of the medicine was in your body, and you caught a cold after falling into the water, which caused your legs to lose strength for a while."
Feng Chuankai looked up in surprise, "What did I take?"
Yao Xinling lowered her eyes and said, "The Queen Mother asked someone to find out that it was Concubine Li who added medicine to the soup that the Emperor took, so..."
During this month, Feng Chuankai has been favoring Li Guiren every day and taking aphrodisiacs non-stop. It would be strange if his body could bear it.
"Bitch! Beat her to death! Beat them all to death!" Feng Chuankai roared loudly.
"When the Empress Dowager learned about this, she has ordered the execution of Concubine Li, unless she is also demoted to a concubine. She is now imprisoned in the cold palace." Yao Xinling said.
Feng Chuankai panted heavily, "When can I cure it?"
"This... the imperial physician said it will be done as soon as possible." Yao Xinling said.
"Queen, you don't seem to be worried about me at all?" Feng Chuankai looked at her with gloomy eyes.
Yao Xinling was stunned for a moment, and soon her eyes turned red. "I have been guarding here day and night for the past few days, hoping that the emperor will wake up soon..."
Feng Chuankai's expression softened a little, "I misunderstood you."
"Where is the Queen Mother?" he asked.
Yao Xinling said softly, "The Empress Dowager is in the Imperial Study. During the days you were unconscious, it was the Empress Dowager who handled state affairs for the Emperor."
Feng Chuankai's face darkened a little.
"The Queen Mother has been looking forward to this day for a long time."
Yao Xinling hesitated for a moment before she whispered, "The Empress Dowager is worried about you, Your Majesty."
Feng Chuankai sneered, "She has long wanted to learn from the Queen Mother of the Southern Dynasty and drive away her sons like her so that she can become a female emperor."
"What are you talking about!" Queen Mother Yao's angry voice came from outside.
She strode in holding the hand of the palace maid, her eyes full of disbelief and disappointment, "If you weren't obsessed with women, would you be unable to stand up?"
"If I don't help you handle the political affairs at this time, who do you want to handle it? Call back the King of Zhenbei, or are your other brothers more suitable?"
"If it weren't for me, do you think you would be where you are today?"
A hint of panic flashed across Feng Chuankai's eyes. He did not expect that what he said would be heard by the Queen Mother.
He only dared to say these words behind her back and didn't dare to mention them in front of Queen Mother Yao.
"Mother, the emperor didn't mean what he said. He is just worried that you are working too hard." Yao Xinling comforted her softly.
Feng Chuankai had a blank expression on his face and said nothing.
Queen Mother Yao felt hurt and pained, and felt that she had raised this son in vain.
"The Prince of Zhennan has rebelled and has sent troops to attack the Prince of Zhenbei. Your Majesty, how do you think the ministers will view you if you go to the morning court in your current state?"
Feng Chuankai's face suddenly changed, and she used both hands to support herself on the bed and tried to sit up.
"I knew that the Prince of Zhennan had evil intentions. He had been planning to rebel for a long time!"
"Send troops to fight and kill the Prince of Zhennan for me!"
Yao Xinling covered her face with a handkerchief and made a surprised expression, but her eyes were indifferent.
The Prince of Zhennan was indeed ambitious, but it was only thanks to Feng Chuankai's stupidity that he was so impatient.
"I have already ordered the Prince of Zhenbei to meet the enemy, and the defense of Kyoto City should also be strengthened." said Queen Mother Yao.
"What you need to do now is to take good care of yourself, otherwise the officials will have other ideas when they see you like this."
Feng Chuankai's face seemed to be covered with a layer of ice.
"Why did the Prince of Zhennan rebel and attack the Prince of Zhenbei?" Feng Chuankai's brain finally started to work.
Queen Mother Yao said in a sharp voice: "Because the Zhennan prince's troops are divided into two groups, the Ye family army will go to intercept the Zhenbei prince, and the Zhennan prince will personally lead his troops all the way to attack the capital city."
"If Lu Nan can't stop him and the King of Zhenbei can't provide timely support, then he can lead his army to take Kyoto City directly."
Feng Chuankai felt as if she had fallen into an icy cave and could not utter a word for a long time.
Queen Mother Yao looked at Feng Chuankai deeply, then turned and left.
……
After returning to the Cining Palace, Empress Dowager Yao was still furious.
She was so angry that her fingertips were shaking slightly.
Qing He quickly poured her a cup of tea, "Empress Dowager, please calm down."
Queen Mother Yao closed her eyes and breathed slowly.
"The emperor is still young, he doesn't understand your painstaking efforts," Qinghe said.
"It's not that he doesn't know, he's just an ungrateful person." Queen Mother Yao laughed at herself.
The rebellion of Prince Zhennan had already caused panic among the officials in the court, and Feng Chuankai's illness had led to all kinds of speculation among the ministers.
If she hadn't come out to calm these ministers, they might have supported the return of King Zhenbei.
"If Prince Zhenbei also rebels..." Qing He was a little worried.
Queen Mother Yao shook her head, "He won't! Even if he wants to rebel, he won't follow the Prince of Zhennan."
If Prince Zhennan rebels, Feng Chuanjin will definitely lead troops to suppress it.
"Empress Dowager, the old man of the Shen family is back." Qinghe saw that the Empress Dowager was frowning and said something else.
Queen Mother Yao frowned, "Who?"
"Shen Sui'an's grandparents." Qinghe said.
Queen Mother Yao's expression instantly turned cold, and hatred was revealed in her eyes.
She was already certain that Guangning was killed by Shen Suian, but Shen Suian's status was no longer the same as before, so it was difficult for her to avenge Guangning.
"Empress Dowager, do you want to..." Qinghe said hesitantly.
"If something happens to the Shen family at this time, do you think the regent of the Southern Dynasty will sit idly by?" Queen Mother Yao said coldly.
Fu Jinyuan captured the King of the Western Regions alive not long ago!
She knew very well that the current Fu Jinyuan was no longer the former Lu Yuan.
If anything happens to anyone in the Shen family, Fu Jinyuan will lead his troops to attack Yong Dynasty.
The Southern Dynasty cannot be attacked from both sides.
"Send someone to watch secretly. Nothing can happen to the Shen family at this time." Queen Mother Yao said in a low voice.
If you want revenge, there will be another chance later.
She has to protect her son's position first.
"Where was the queen when the emperor fell into the water that day?" Empress Dowager Yao suddenly asked.
"The Empress she..." Qinghe was stunned. After the Emperor fell into the water, the Empress seemed to appear very quickly.
Queen Mother Yao sneered, "Since Ling'er became the queen, her temperament has changed a lot."
Qinghe didn't dare to say anything more after hearing this.
"She is now pregnant with the emperor's child. I won't bother with her, even if she just stands by and watches the emperor being pushed into the water." Empress Dowager Yao said softly.
The emperor had difficulty in having children, and she only hoped that Yao Xinling could give birth to a prince.
Queen Mother Yao pressed her forehead. She had always thought that she would be able to live a comfortable and carefree life after becoming the Queen Mother. Unexpectedly, after becoming the Queen Mother, she did not have a single day of peace of mind.
She thought of the Empress Dowager who didn't care about anything at all.
If something really happened to the emperor, the Empress Dowager would definitely let Prince Zhenbei come back.
