Chapter 334: Becoming a Rent Collector in Infinite Weirdness 29

"Empress, I think Prime Minister Qiao was just confused for a moment..."

The maid beside the Queen Mother persuaded softly.

"How could he be confused? He is clearly too ambitious and doesn't care about the Ai family!"

The Queen Mother raised her hand to rub her aching head, feeling so angry that her chest felt breathless for a moment.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, please calm down."

The maid still persuaded her.

But the more she persuaded her, the angrier she became. She drank the tea brought by the maid and felt a pain in her heart. She vomited blood while stroking her heart.

The maidservant was so frightened that she turned pale and said, "Your Majesty! Someone, please send me the imperial doctor!"

Only then was Eucommia ulmoides quickly called over. He knelt down to check his pulse. He frowned and said, "The Queen Mother, you are so anxious and anxious. This..."

The somewhat frail Queen Mother lay on the couch and glanced sideways at him. Seeing the hesitation on his face, she felt an ominous premonition in her heart.

"Let's be honest, no matter what the outcome, the Ai family can bear it."

"Your Majesty is already in poor health. This time she vomited blood and damaged her foundation. I'm afraid, I'm afraid..."

Du Zhong's hesitant attitude made the Queen Mother's heart sink, "What is it? How long can the Ai family live?"

"Originally, if you took good care of yourself, you could probably live for six or seven years, but now..."

"How? Just say it straight, if you continue to hesitate and explain clearly, the Aijia will punish you!"

"The long term can be half a year, the short term can be as short as...if I continue to worry and get angry, I'm afraid it will only be this month."

What!

Hearing this, the Queen Mother swayed, and her slightly old face was full of disbelief, "Why is it so short?"

"My hard work in the past few years has long been wasted on my mother's body. I have been telling my mother to take care of her health and recuperate many years ago, but... now that the disease has developed, it is difficult to recover, and medicine and stone are of no use!"

Eucommia ulmoides spoke earnestly, but her mouth felt bitter.

Can it not be short-lived?

He suffered from anger in the court, overworked himself, and was tortured by poison every day. He was given death-inducing drugs every day.

After all this hard work, the fact that he can survive until the end of this month really depends on the luck of the Queen Mother!

"Your Majesty, Doctor Du is getting old, and his medical skills are probably getting worse. I will call you a doctor with good medical skills."

The maid who followed the Queen Mother also had a look of disbelief on her face.

The Queen Mother was silent for a long time, then sighed softly, "Okay, step back. Qingyi, go call the imperial concubine."

I thought I still had time to plan slowly, but now...that's all, I just hope that before she dies, she can arrange everything after her death, especially her son.

Thinking of Chu Heng's foolish appearance, the Queen Mother felt even more heartbroken.

Upon hearing this, Qing Yi first saw off Eucommia ulmoides, and then frowned, "Mother, what about Eucommia ulmoides?"

"He has followed the Ai family for many years, so he will not lie. A few years ago, the Ai family did feel that they were unable to do what they wanted, but they didn't care. If they had listened to his dissuasion earlier, perhaps their lives would not have been so short-lived."

"Everyone inside and outside the palace knows that the empress is in poor health, but Prime Minister Qiao deliberately wooed Prince Su..."

"Wealthy and charming eyes~ Qingyi, my brother is no longer the loving, protective, cautious and cautious brother he used to be."

The Queen Mother sighed, her eyes turned cold.

It’s not like Prime Minister Qiao didn’t know that she was having trouble with King Su, but now that she was sick, he was colluding with King Su. Did he want to promote King Su to the throne, or did he want to join forces with King Su to kill her first?

It's a pity that she will never let him get what he wants!

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother reluctantly cheered up and said, "Go and call the imperial concubine. The Ai family doesn't have much time."

Hearing this, Qing Yi had no choice but to invite Qiao Jinhuan.

The two met halfway.

"Your servant is here to see the imperial concubine. The Queen Mother invites the imperial concubine to go to Cihe Palace."

"Aunt Qingyi is so polite. I was originally going to Cihe Palace to meet my mother."

With a gentle smile on her lips, Qiao Jinhuan followed Qing Yi into Cihe Palace to say hello, and then sat on a chair.

The Queen Mother stared at her belly with a sad expression.

Originally, she wanted to wait for the child to come out and then slowly support him to ascend to the throne, but now she didn't even have time to see the child born.

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother couldn't help but feel a little resentful towards Prime Minister Qiao.

After chatting for a few words as usual, the Queen Mother did not want to waste any more time, so she winked at Qing Yi beside her.

Qing Yi then led everyone out with a tacit understanding.

"Sit closer."

The Queen Mother said weakly.

Qiao Jinhuan frowned and sat down, "Mother, why do you look so bad today? Could it be that someone has made you angry again?"

The Queen Mother gently held Qiao Jinhuan's hand and said, "The Ai family's time is numbered."

Hearing this, Qiao Jinhuan was "shocked" and stared at the Queen Mother in panic, "Why did the Queen Mother say this? You, haven't you always been in good health? What happened this time..."

"Jin Huan, tell the truth, how have the Ai family and the emperor treated you since you entered the palace?"

"Of course it's great."

Qiao Jinhuan lowered his eyes slightly, with a sad look in his eyes, "Back in the Qiao Mansion, my concubine had a hard life as a concubine. Not to mention having good food and clothing, she couldn't even keep warm in the winter. After entering the palace, my mother treated me like a

Even after I have given birth, I will treat my mother as my own mother."

The Queen Mother looked at Qiao Jinhuan carefully and felt relieved when she saw that her words seemed to be true.

"The Ai family took pity on you and was pushed into the palace by the Qiao family. Your sister-in-law should have suffered this fate. There is another thing that you probably don't know."

The Queen Mother patted the back of Qiao Jinhuan's hand and said, "Your biological mother was killed by your aunt."

"How could this be?"

Qiao Jinhuan's face instantly turned pale, and she looked at the Queen Mother with tears in her eyes, "I know that my aunt can't tolerate others, but, I never thought that my mother was harmed by her. She was too vicious. Queen Mother, you, you want to

Make the decision for me!"

Seeing the obvious hatred in Qiao Jinhuan's eyes, the Queen Mother was very satisfied.

very good.

She now needs an heir who can't deal with the Qiao family, lest she entrust Chu Heng to Qiao Jinhuan, and then join forces with the Qiao family.

The Queen Mother naturally knew how Qiao Jinhuan's biological mother died a long time ago. Now she mentioned it just to tie Qiao Jinhuan to her warship.

How could Qiao Jinhuan not see through her little thoughts?

So what the Queen Mother saw was all what Qiao Jinhuan wanted her to see.

"How can Aijia make the decision for you? Only you can make the decision for yourself in this matter."

The Queen Mother said calmly.

"But my concubine, what about my concubine..."

Qiao Jinhuan looked at the Queen Mother in panic, her eyes full of help and trust.

"Don't panic. The Ai family called you here because they want to make a deal with you."

The Queen Mother's eyes were locked on Qiao Jinhuan, "Do you want this position in the Ai family? You have the power, life and death. At that time, whether you want to avenge your mother, or you want to do something else, you can."

These words can be said to be the Queen Mother's temptation, or they can be said to be the Queen Mother's true words.

She wanted an heir, but she didn't want an ambitious heir.
