143 Qualifications to be Queen

Mandrill's face was full of anger, and he didn't know when there was a sharp knife in his hand, which was placed on my neck.

I knew these guys would think in this direction!

"Damn! If you have the ability, do it! If I were really the prime minister's daughter, I would have worked for the Liu family long ago, and I wouldn't have allowed you to live until now! I won't kill all the people who know about it and stand alone! You heartless ones!

It’s in vain that I love you so much and let you do whatever you want!” No matter how easy it is to talk, I still have a temper!

The three of them looked at each other, and felt that what I said was reasonable, and gradually lost their temper. Mandrill's hand moved, the cold light faded, and the cold touch on my neck finally disappeared. I glared at him dissatisfied, but his hands were hanging down empty.

Then he took a step back without even apologizing.

Impolite guy! Also, where did you hide that shining one?

Guys who carry controlled knives and dangerous goods with them...

While I was thinking about him, Qin Murong was also thinking about me.

"Who are you?"

I scratched my head in embarrassment. "That's what happened..."

It took me a while to explain clearly to them that I am definitely not the prime minister's daughter. Prince Gao can testify. It's just that I may be unlucky enough to have the same birthday as Lin Jingyu. I believe that this is the case in modern times and it will be the same here.

As the saying goes, the horoscopes are the same, no wonder the two of us change bodies just like changing clothes, we are a family. I guess Jingyue's horoscopes are also consistent with ours. In that accident, the soul and body went to the wrong place when they returned to their respective places.

place.

Qin Murong was half convinced and half doubtful. Lin Jingyu only breathed a sigh of relief and started to be worried again.

"If you don't come back that day... wouldn't I be able to return to the dragon body?" He looked annoyed.

Sorry! This kid can speak out! If that were the case, wouldn't I just re-enter Liu Susu's body? The next day, Lin Jingyu wouldn't take the opportunity to find an excuse to raid the Liu family and kill me?! What a waste!

I smiled and shook my head. Fortunately, I didn't fall into the wrong body as soon as I came back. It's better to keep power firmly in your own hands.

I appeased Lin Jingyu and asked him to take Mandrill to Qixia Palace. I also thought of a perfect solution to appease the Chu family. I stayed to face Qin Murong alone.

"What do you think about this matter?" I believe he has found the correct way to change souls, but it is just difficult to execute.

"The death of the body may cause the death of the spirit body. Jingyue is a good example." Qin Murong told me the conclusion he came to, "Because she overestimated herself and thought that she was good at water and could just drown the other party.

That's fine, that's why she deliberately stood by the pool and said something to irritate the emperor. When the emperor was angry, he naturally pushed her away regardless of the consequences. She just seemed to pull the emperor casually in panic. As long as they both fell down

Entering the water, you think, the emperor who doesn't know how to swim will be at a loss. Jingyue only needs to hug her tightly in the water and let her gradually suffocate to death. In the end, she only needs to wait for the guards to save her.

.result--

"I didn't expect that when the body died, Jingyue also lost her soul. The emperor must have entered the body of the imperial concubine in a coma. Then, you happened to return, and maybe you stayed in the imperial concubine's body, subconsciously

I held my breath and saved the noble concubine's life. But, I made all the mistakes, I shouldn't have tied the soul-binding rope to the dragon body..." A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "If not, the emperor and

You should go back to your place."

It's up to you, I'm not the prime minister's daughter...

I shook my head and added: "You missed something. Zhou Quan called the imperial doctor and the widower to determine the cause of Jingyue's death. It was indeed suffocation. However, the lungs did not absorb enough water, and the corpse's muscles stiffened too quickly. That is,

It is said that she died of muscle atrophy or spasm, which may have compressed the lungs and caused difficulty in breathing, or she may have been unable to breathe on her own, resulting in insufficient oxygen supply to the brain and death."

Qin Murong was puzzled. "You mean - Jingyue was given medicine?"

I nodded and shook my head. "It's not feeding. There is a scar on her wrist. It should be that the medicine was tempered on the sharp instrument and the effect of the medicine took effect. It is probably similar to anesthetics, making muscles stiff and movements slow. Unfortunately,

This medicine almost dissolves when exposed to water and is non-toxic, so Zhou Quan and the imperial doctor can only speculate."

"The murder weapon..."

"The murder weapon naturally sank to the bottom of the water. Besides, this happened in the prime minister's palace. I can't send people in to search forcibly before the imperial concubine is out of danger. Moreover, all the witnesses can prove that the imperial concubine Jingyue fell into the water after being pushed into the water.

If Jingyue had not died, I would still have to give an explanation to Prime Minister Liu. Fortunately, she is dead, and it is time for Prime Minister Liu to give us an explanation."

Qin Murong sighed, "If you do any injustice, you will be punished."

****

On the second day, during the morning court, Prime Minister Liu suddenly made a statement to plead for the throne, and Prime Minister Liu's party and friends immediately agreed. General Chu Yuan, who rarely went to court once a year, was stunned and immediately jumped out to retort: ​​"Concubine Jin

Your Majesty’s body is still cold, Liu Jianguo, don’t try to take advantage of her!"

"The emperor has been on the throne for two years and will be eighteen this year. According to the ancestral system, we should appoint a queen as soon as possible, command the harem, admonish the harem, and let the empresses in the harem flourish for the royal family as soon as possible." Liu Xiang was neither arrogant nor impatient.

He talked eloquently, "A few days ago, Concubine Jin accidentally drowned, and her little daughter was also in danger. It was precisely because the master of the harem had not yet been established, and some people were arrogant and favored, that led to misunderstandings among the empresses.

It was only through admonishment and mediation that the tragedy occurred. I...please ask the emperor to appoint a queen to prevent similar disasters from happening in the future!"

"What Prime Minister Liu said is also what I think!" "Yes! I also hope that the emperor will be happy to have a dragon heir as soon as possible!"

"Your Majesty, the harem cannot be without an owner for a day!" "Yes, Your Majesty..."

"..."

Seeing that about two-thirds of the court officials in the hall agreed, Chu Yuan was not a fool. He knew that nothing could be done to stop him today, so he stood up and shouted loudly: "My lord, I recommend the daughter of Li Hanlin, Concubine De! Concubine De!"

She is both good in character and appearance, well-mannered, dignified and decent, and friendly to others. She has an excellent reputation among the people. She was also a talented woman who was passed down by word of mouth among celebrities and scholars in the capital. It is perfect for her to have the Imperial Concubine in charge of the harem."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately answered, "My lord, I agree with General Chu's advice!" But it turned out that they were supporters of the Chu family and the original supporters of Concubine Jin. Now that Concubine Jin has passed away, they naturally cannot support the Liu Party and the Wen Party.

, so they chose the neutral Li family. However, the other two factions are not easy to get along with!

"I would like to recommend the daughter of the general who protects the country, the Jade Concubine! The Jade Concubine is good at literature and martial arts, honest and loyal, careful and rigorous in dealing with others, neither arrogant nor impetuous. She has always been on good terms with the empresses of the palaces. She treats her servants equally and speaks without restraint.

He is biased, does things without favoritism, and holds a bowl of water in a smooth manner, making him the best candidate for the queen!"

"My lord, I agree with Chen Shangshu's advice! I also agree to recommend the Jade Concubine!"

Then, another member of the Wen Party stood up and loudly praised Wen Yuquan, my jade concubine. The woman who personally shot a wild boar, two sika deer and two grouse in the hunting ground was a monster. How could Lin Jingyu agree?

Do you want such a woman to be a queen? You don’t even know when she will kill you.

Then, some ministers belonging to the neutral faction recommended two or three concubines, and some even recommended a marriageable woman who had not yet entered the palace and was still being raised in a boudoir - the daughter of a certain minister, who was fifteen years old and was pretty and pretty.

tasty.

I shook unnaturally.

Beast! You even dare to offer up an underage girl! Seeking death!

Having a dozen or twenty women in the harem is enough to give me a headache. How dare you recommend someone new? Go to hell!

I have to remember that those uncles who smile obscenely all have different official positions. Tomorrow they will all be transferred out of the capital and go to remote mountainous areas to become seventh-grade sesame officials. They will never come back!

Probably because I looked bad, all the ministers gradually became quiet.

"Is there any more?" His eyes scanned around and settled on Liu Hu.

"Master Supervisor, since you are the one who submitted the letter to me to beg me to be the queen, why didn't I hear your recommendation? Do you think that there is no one in my harem who is qualified for the position of queen?"

Hearing my insidious voice, everyone knew that I was in a bad mood and looking for trouble with Prime Minister Liu. Everyone lowered their heads, some were secretly happy and some sympathized, but no one dared to speak for him. Same as before the Chinese New Year.

Compared with the warm atmosphere, it was really a big difference. It seemed that these old guys knew very well and vaguely guessed that the imperial concubine was responsible for the crime. However, all the witness testimonies were beneficial to the Liu family, and the emperor could not touch the Liu family. This

I'm probably feeling angry. Who dares to have anything to do with the Liu family now? They're definitely at the end of their rope and asking for trouble!

Liu Xiang certainly understood the principles of officialdom and still stood upright, like a mountain standing unmoved by the wind.

After a while, while I was impatiently holding back a yawn, he finally came out.

"I believe that the emperor needs a virtuous wife who is knowledgeable about people and the world, can help take care of the affairs of the harem, and has some literary and military skills, so that he can easily raise a dragon heir in the future. The background of his natal family should not be too powerful, so as to prevent relatives from coveting the imperial power or taking advantage of the power.

In the countryside, she dominates the market and oppresses her neighbors. The woman must not only act decisively, but also not show favoritism to her own people, act in accordance with the law and principles, and must be a deterrent in order to be able to convince the public and manage everyone. Of course, all of the above belong to the woman

In terms of virtue, conduct, and appearance, it is natural to choose a good woman, so that when attending state banquets and receiving foreign envoys, people will know that the women of our country, Yan, are no worse than those of any other country."

I raised my eyebrows. The old fox was quite smart. Wasn't he praising his daughter in disguise?

Of course, people who don’t know don’t think so. After all, there is one of them: “The background of the natal family should not be too powerful, so as to prevent the relatives from coveting the imperial power, or using their power to dominate the countryside and oppress the neighbors.” On this point alone, all the courtiers present here must be careful.

None of the daughters are qualified. However, if someone is willing to give up the rights in their hands - that is another matter.

Everyone couldn't figure out what the fox was thinking, so they didn't dare to say anything.

I looked at Uncle Liu with a smile and asked pleasantly: "So, does Liu Aiqing have a suitable candidate?"

"I would like to recommend my beloved daughter to you, the noble concubine!" The uncle risked his life.
