Chapter 435: The Country of Free and Unrestrained Women 11
When Liu Changqing heard from Lady Qiu that His Majesty did not want to see her, she looked into the hall and said to Lady Qiu, "Please take care of His Majesty, Lady Qiu."
Lady Qiu bowed quickly and said, "This is my duty." Liu
Changqing looked into the hall again and turned away.
Lady Qiu walked into the hall and said to Ning Shu, "Your Majesty, Queen Feng has left."
Ning Shu asked, "What did Queen Feng want to see me for?"
"It seems that she is bringing tonic soup to Your Majesty." Lady Qiu saw that Liu Changqing was holding a food box in her hand and finally took it away.
Ning Shu: ...
It's tonic soup again. If she drinks the tonic soup that Liu Changqing brings her every time, I don't know what she will become. She may even be too weak to take the tonic.
However, Ning Shu guessed in her heart that Liu Changqing was probably here to test her and see if she was in trouble.
In short, Ning Shu was extremely wary of Liu Changqing and Mu Xue, the father and daughter.
"Your Majesty, today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month." Lady Qiu said.
So what if she was fifteen? She was in so much pain that she felt like she was walking on steel knives when she walked. Would she still go to Fengqi Palace? She wanted to bang her head against the wall
when she felt so painful. Even a blind person could see that something was wrong with her
. Ning Shu repeatedly reminded Lady Qiu, "Pay attention to the people below, and don't talk nonsense." "I will pay attention." Lady Qiu saw that Ning Shu's clothes were soaked with yellow sweat, and hurriedly prepared hot water for a bath.
In the evening, the palace servants of Fengqi Palace came to invite Ning Shu and asked if she would go to Fengqi Palace. Lady Qiu directly said that His Majesty was busy with political affairs and would not go.
The palace servants went back and told Liu Changqing that His Majesty would not come to Fengqi Palace tonight. When Liu Changqing heard this, he pursed his lips and finally said, "Go to bed."
The next day, when Ning Shu went to court, when he saw Mu Xue, he took a memorial and threw it at Mu Xue.
Mu Xue was stunned for a moment, and was hit by Ning Shu. She forgot to hide and was hit on the forehead by the hard corner of the memorial. The skin was broken and blood beads appeared.
Mu Xue touched her forehead and saw the bright red blood on her finger. A fierce look flashed across her face. She knelt down and said in fear with her head down: "I don't know why the Queen Mother is so angry." "
Your Majesty, calm down." The civil and military officials all knelt down.
"Open the memorial and see what it says. Princess Crown Prince, as the crown prince of a country, you actually keep a large group of male favorites outside. What are you doing? As a princess, you should always be cautious. Do you want the whole country to think that you are a licentious person?"
"Do you want to be the crown prince?" Ning Shu said coldly, "You keep so many male favorites, and the sound of the music inside is disturbing the neighbors."
Mu Xue frowned tightly, picked up the memorial on the ground, opened it, and saw that the content of the memorial was to impeach her for being licentious and keeping many male favorites, which was contrary to the calmness and steadiness of a crown prince.
Ning Shu looked at Mu Xue coldly, "Do you have anything else to say?"
"Your son..." Mu Xue looked depressed. Those men were not his male favorites, but talents he found. Would he play with his male favorites? Mu Xue felt like
she had stepped on shit. Mu Xue couldn't understand why she was impeached? ! As for disturbing the neighbors next door, those people would not do such a stupid thing.
Mu Xue glanced at the high and mighty empress and did not argue, "Your son knows he was wrong."
"If you know you are wrong, you should correct it. How can I trust you to hand over the country to you? Send these male favorites back to where they came from and don't show up in Xuancheng anymore." Ning Shu felt like all the bones in his body were about to break. His voice almost came out from between his teeth, and he was sweating all over. When the ministers saw Ning Shu's body trembling slightly, they thought that Ning Shu was angry, and they shouted to Ning Shu to calm down.
Mu Xue knocked her head to the ground and said in a muffled voice: "Your son knows."
"As the crown prince, you must always pay attention to your behavior. Send these male favorites away and confine them to house arrest for a month." Ning Shu felt a surge in his throat, almost bursting out, and couldn't swallow it. Ning Shu turned around and went to the side hall.
"Big sister, your forehead is bleeding, are you okay?" Mu Yao stretched
out her hand to help Mu Xue up. Mu Xue brushed Mu Yao's hand away, stood up, turned around and left without even looking at Mu Yao, and her back was full of coldness.
Mu Yao wrinkled her delicate nose. She felt that the big sister didn't like her and her attitude towards her was strange.
But Mu Yao didn't care about Mu Yao's attitude immediately, and went back to the mansion happily. She was about to get married.
As soon as Ning Shu walked into the side hall, she couldn't hold it in any longer and vomited a large pool of blood. This time the blood was not bright red, but mixed with blood clots, which looked a bit like fragments of internal organs.
Ning Shu felt that she couldn't hold on for much longer.
"Your Majesty, do you want to call the imperial physician? You can't stand it if you keep vomiting blood like this." Lady Qiu looked at the blood on the obsidian floor and said in a trembling voice.
Ning Shu waved her hand and lay on the couch, barely breathing.
Lady Qiu fetched water herself, squatted on the ground and wiped the blood on the ground with a rag. Her eyes were red. Ning Shu found her like this and found it a little funny, "Why are you crying?"
"I feel sorry for your Majesty." Lady Qiu wiped the floor vigorously.
Ning Shu was quite happy. At least she got rid of the talent that Mu Xue had worked so hard to find today. Mu Xue had someone in the court, but she, the empress, had no one in the court. It wouldn't take a minute to impeach her.
The most important thing now was to find an heir. Ning Shu called back the secret guards who had been sent out to investigate the second and third princesses.
After carefully asking about the two people's outstanding qualities, Ning Shu did not expect any great talents, but only hoped to inherit the Xuan Kingdom.
Several secret guards told Ning Shu what they had observed.
Ning Shu summarized it. In short, the second daughter of the emperor was mediocre, really mediocre. If she was hiding her shortcomings, she didn't show it at all. She wanted to play the pig and eat the tiger, but she might end up becoming the pig.
As an emperor, not only does one need to be patient, but also needs the momentum of dominating the world. Occasionally, one needs to play the open conspiracy and attack openly.
The third daughter of the emperor has a fatal flaw, that is, she is too lustful. Every night, she has to recruit more than two male favorites and likes to play exciting games.
If she is too greedy for the pleasure of bed, she is easy to listen to the pillow and be seduced by beauty.
Ning Shu thought about it and his brain hurt. In short, Ning Shu knew that these two people were not the best candidates for the throne with his not very bright brain. The original owner Mu Nishang did not choose these two people, but gave the throne to Mu Yao.
So where is she going to find an heir now? There are only four adult princesses, and there are also babies wearing open pants in the harem. Even if Ning Shu's brain is kicked by a donkey, she will not choose a baby.
Doesn't this give the ministers an opportunity to control the government? Can a baby beat those adult princesses?
Ning Shu sighed in her heart, feeling a little bit painful, and stuffed a detoxification pill in her mouth. Although it was useless, it had a psychological effect. She took the medicine, so it must be useful.
