"How long has this situation been going on, Your Majesty?"
Cheng Xueqi replied: "I only discovered this situation when I asked Your Majesty to issue an order today."
Yu Qiuzi frowned. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Did you give him that medicine again?"
Cheng Xueqi was shocked. Emperor Yan Ping was still here. Yu Qiuzi asked so straightforwardly. Wasn't this a trap for her? To die?
Seeing that she was restless and paying attention to Emperor Yan Ping's situation, Yu Qiuzi knew what she was worried about and said with relief: "It doesn't matter, he can't understand."
Cheng Xueqi was doubtful. , but saw that Emperor Yan Ping's eyes were dull and unresponsive, as if he really didn't understand. Out of trust in Yu Qiuzi, Cheng Xueqi couldn't help but asked: "He is occasionally annoying, so I used some medicine." "
"There is already a pill of longevity, why do you still need to use that medicine? "
Cheng Xueqi complained: "There is only one pill of longevity pill every day, and he always takes it at noon? Take it, what can I do?"
Yu Qiuzi shook her head. Cheng Xueqi was Emperor Yan Ping's concubine, but she couldn't do anything to prevent the man in black from getting close to Emperor Yan Ping. If Sanshenshan wants to achieve something in Kyoto, he needs to cooperate with Cheng Xueqi and the black-robed man behind him.
Cheng Xueqi was a little confused and asked, "Can it be cured?"
If Emperor Yan Ping continues to be stupid like this, then all their plans will be ruined.
Yu Qiuzi's expression was a little solemn and he said: "It's still unclear how long his state will last. In this way, you first let him issue an imperial edict. He will not go to the morning court this month, and he will stay here. In Weiyang Palace, take a look at the situation and remember not to let others discover his abnormality, not even Gao Shihe."
Cheng Xueqi was a little embarrassed and said: "A month? So long. "
If Emperor Yan Ping wakes up, how can we convince him to stay in Weiyang Palace for a month without going to court?
Yu Qiuzi threatened: "If others find out about his abnormality, it will definitely cause civil strife. Moreover, if he wakes up and knows the truth of the matter, not only me, but you too, I'm afraid I can't live anymore."
Cheng Xueqi was frightened and then realized the seriousness of the matter. She nodded repeatedly and said, "Don't worry, Imperial Master, I will definitely persuade your Majesty."
After Yu Qiuzi left, Cheng Xueqi looked at Emperor Yan Ping in a daze with some boredom.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
Cheng Xueqi called out twice, but Emperor Yan Ping showed no response, as if he didn't know he was being called. Cheng Xueqi boldly slapped Emperor Yan Ping and found that Emperor Yan Ping had no reaction to the pain. I was a little panicked, worried that this would affect my plan; but then I thought about the man in black robe, and felt that it was really cheap for Emperor Yan Ping to be like this.
After a while, Cheng Xueqi lost interest, handed over the tracking task to Cheng Dun, and ran to the inner room to rest.
The imperial edict of disarmament naturally caused an uproar. Among them, the reduction of official salaries pushed the entire court officials to the opposite side of Emperor Yan Ping. Instigated by Prime Minister Lu Wen'an, hundreds of ministers gathered in Weiyang Palace to ask Emperor Yan Ping to take back his orders. Of course, they would not directly say that it was for their own salary, but in the name of serving the country and the people, they asked Emperor Yan Ping to withdraw the imperial edict.
Most of these officials came from the imperial examinations. When their own interests were at stake, each of them worked hard and prepared to remonstrate with Emperor Yan Ping. However, Emperor Yan Ping could not see them while hiding in Weiyang Palace, which made them feel quite helpless and helpless.

The next day, Cheng Xueqi woke up from her sleep. There was no figure of Emperor Yan Ping on her pillow. She got up and went to check, and found that Emperor Yan Ping had stayed in the same posture all night, and his eyes were red, obviously not sleeping all night. sleep.
"It seems that he hasn't woken up yet."
Cheng Xueqi was a little irritable, worried that the man in black robe would blame her if he found out. However, the noise outside the main hall made her even more upset.
"Cheng Dun, what is going on outside? Who is making the noise?"
"My dear concubine, it is Prime Minister Lu and others waiting for Your Majesty outside the palace."
Cheng Xueqi sneered and said: "They really don't want to give up. But it's good, it saves us the trouble of making up excuses to deceive them."
Cheng Dun said hesitantly: "Mother, Your Majesty hasn't slept all night, what should I do?"
Cheng Xueqi was also a little worried. She caught a glimpse of the paperweight on the table, picked it up and smashed it three times in the back of Emperor Yan Ping's head. Just now he closed his eyes and fainted.
Cheng Dun's scalp felt numb and he didn't dare to speak.
"Go and help him to the bed."
Cheng Dun nodded quickly, fearing that he would be attacked if he agreed too late.
Cheng Xueqi straightened her clothes and was about to go out to meet the ministers, but she immediately stopped, spread out the imperial edict, and issued an edict under the guise of Emperor Yan Ping's order. After sealing it with the jade seal, she left with confidence. go out.
The people led by Prime Minister Lu waited for a day, but Emperor Yan Ping still refused to come out to see them. He even issued an edict not to go to court for a month. It seemed that he knew how much turmoil his edict would cause in the government and the public. was shaken.
Privately, Lu Wen'an looked down on Emperor Yan Ping very much. When his father, Emperor Taizong, was seriously ill, Emperor Yan Ping not only violated filial piety by pampering his concubines, but also cut off the beards of those who treated Emperor Taizong. The blood ginseng essence can be said to have indirectly killed his father, Emperor Taizong. Over the years, Emperor Yan Ping's stupid and incompetent character has become more and more exposed. He killed Lu Wen'an's parents and children, and did one stupid and incompetent thing after another. He simply refused to bring down the country left by his ancestors. ah.
Regarding the imperial edict issued by Emperor Yan Ping,Lu Wen'an was very happy. He knew that even if the princes could wait until Emperor Yan Ping died before seizing the throne, the ministers in the court would not be able to wait any longer.
"Mr. Lu, what are your intentions in disturbing His Majesty with these people outside the palace?"
Lu Wen'an said without fear: "The Imperial Concubine, this is the country. It's important, please go in and tell His Majesty. I'll wait outside the palace for Your Majesty to come out."
Cheng Xueqi sneered, "I'm afraid Mr. Lu is overthinking. Look at what this is." /p>
Cheng Xueqi raised the imperial edict, and Lu Wen'an felt a little bad premonition. Cheng Xueqi handed the imperial edict to Gao Shihe and said, "Your Majesty said, if you want to stay here, then just stay. However, there is no food and drink in the palace, so please take care of it yourself. In addition, if anyone disturbs His Majesty's rest, then Sir Wei Guanglu will serve as a warning to you."
Cheng Xueqi walked away calmly after saying this. .
Gao Shihe showed the imperial edict to Lu Wen'an and the others. When everyone saw the jade seal covered by the imperial edict, they no longer doubted that it was written by Emperor Yan Ping, and everyone was very angry.
