The prince really wanted to persuade his father that there could not be such a miraculous pill in the world.
His father was not in good health, and he had consulted countless imperial physicians and miracle doctors. Whenever he went out, he would seek out famous doctors for consultation, but he had never heard of such a pill.
There must be something fishy about this pill, but seeing how happy my father was now, the words got stuck in my throat.
"Check Concubine Hui!"
When the prince came out of the imperial study, his whole body was cold.
Last time, he just hoped that his father would get better. Even if he could not control the government, it would be good for him to live a stable life.
But now, my father actually trusted others again. This time, he even ignored Fubao's instructions.
If so, if the person behind the scenes is targeting Fubao, what should we do next?
"Concubine Hui entered the palace three years ago and had always behaved herself. Half a month ago, she was dancing in the Imperial Garden when she was spotted by the Emperor..."
It seems that everything is fine, but if there is really no problem, why would the emperor's change be so strange?
The prince came to the queen's bedroom. The queen mother should be the one who knows the things going on in the palace best.
"Are you here for Concubine Hui?"
The queen guessed the prince's intention and told him all the information she had found out.
"These days, your father has been resting in Concubine Hui's palace every day. Your father seems to have regained his youth."
Although the queen was extremely disappointed with the emperor, she was the queen and was in charge of the harem, so naturally she had to pay attention to everything in the palace.
When she discovered that something was wrong with the emperor, she sent people to sneak into Yongmei Palace, but no one who went into Yongmei Palace came out.
"There must be something wrong with Yongmei Palace, and there must be something wrong with Concubine Hui as well."
"But your father now places great trust in Concubine Hui and does not allow anyone else to enter Yongmei Palace."
The prince took a deep breath and said, "Mother, why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"
The Queen Mother knew about it from the beginning, but did not inform him.
"Your father is courting death, and no one can stop him. He even disobeyed Fubao's instructions. Do you think he can still be a king?"
The queen has already thought of a response plan. Since the emperor is no longer capable, she will replace him.
Her prince already manages state affairs on a daily basis, so there is no problem for him to sit on the throne. Rather than being suppressed by his inactive father, it is better for him to sit on the throne himself so that he can do whatever he wants.
"Mother, be careful with your words!"
The prince did not expect that his mother would think of this.
No matter how evil his father was, he never thought of asking him to abdicate.
"Prince, your mother is not forcing your father to abdicate, but given his current condition, I'm afraid he won't live much longer."
"How come?"
The prince frowned. Although the emperor looked a little strange now, he did not look depressed.
"Your Majesty Mother also understands some pharmacology. Your father's body was previously drained, and he hasn't been able to replenish it after a long time. Now his face is glowing red, so he must have used strong medicine. With his body, how could he withstand such strong medicine? The more energetic he is now, the faster he will collapse!"
The queen sighed. After more than ten years of marriage, she had gone from being full of love for the emperor to being indifferent and distant to him.
The relationship between the couple grew colder when the emperor repeatedly visited new people and misunderstood her. If it weren't for the crown prince, she would have left the palace long ago.
Now, she treated the emperor like a stranger she disliked, so rational that she had no emotions at all.
"I'm going to find Fubao!"
The prince was a little flustered. Even though he was disappointed with his father, he never thought that his father would be gone like this.
As a son, he couldn't just sit back and watch.
"Don't make things difficult for Fubao. Fubao is just a child. It was fine before. At least your father trusted Fubao. But now he has been bewitched by Concubine Hui and doesn't even trust Fubao.
If you drag Fubao into this, you are actually harming him."
The prince stopped, his eyes filled with helplessness.
"But are we just going to watch our father die?"
The queen did not say anything. This was what she wanted to see, but it was not what the prince wanted to see.
After all, I feel sorry for my son and can't bear to make him too sad.
"Don't worry, the Queen Mother will keep an eye on everything in the palace and will never lie to you again."
"Thank you, mother."
The prince walked out of Qiankun Palace and his subordinates reported.
"Our people failed to enter Yongmei Palace!"
The people under the prince have all been carefully trained. Each of them can stand on their own and can come and go freely in any palace, even the Qiankun Palace.
But now, they couldn't even enter Yongmei Palace.
"I'll go there myself!"
The prince gritted his teeth and decided to see what was hidden in Yongmei Palace today and why it was guarded so tightly.
Yongmei Palace is filled with exquisite decorations and is so prosperous that it is dazzling. Even the Queen's Qiankun Palace is not as luxurious.
In just half a month, my father has shown such fondness for a woman. This has never happened before.
"Your Highness, Concubine Hui is currently serving the Emperor and has no time to come out to see you. Please leave, Your Highness."
Hui Fei's nanny came out to speak, and there was not much respect in her eyes when she looked at the prince.
When Concubine Hui succeeded, these servants seemed to have soared to the sky.
But their confidence was given by their father. If the father had not condoned them, how could these people dare?
"Tell Father that I have something important to report!"
He had to see his father and see if he was really bewitched by Concubine Hui.
"Your Highness, the Emperor is not available, and neither is Concubine Hui. Please return. Otherwise, you will not be able to wait here until tomorrow."
The nanny spoke with contempt, as if the person in front of her was not the crown prince, but just a prince who could be slaughtered at will.
"presumptuous!"
"This Crown Prince wants to see the Emperor to discuss important matters, and you, an old nanny, dare to stop me, delaying state affairs. What is your crime?"
The prince has been in charge of government affairs for a long time, and the aura he exudes is even greater than that of the emperor.
The nanny was so shocked that she didn't even feel shorter.
"That's not what I meant. I'll go in and report!"
After a cup of tea, the nanny came out again.
"Your Majesty, I'm not here. The Emperor has ordered that the Crown Prince handle any matters at his discretion. Don't waste time here and delay important matters."
The prince took a deep breath. His father was actually so confused.
He doesn't care about national affairs, but is obsessed with women.
He turned and left, his face gloomy.
"Keep close surveillance on Yongmei Palace and thoroughly investigate Concubine Hui."
The pills that Concubine Hui gave to my father must require medicinal ingredients. If we follow the clues based on the medicinal ingredients, we will definitely find out something.
That evening, the queen sent news.
"Concubine Hui is having an affair with the leader of the Imperial Guard."
The emperor is in such poor health, how could he possibly act like that with Concubine Hui every day?
The queen monitored for several days and finally got some clues.
Following the connection with the leader of the Imperial Guard, the prince found the so-called pills.
"Your Highness, the pills are said to be delivered from outside the palace. The leader of the Imperial Guards leaves the capital every three days and upon his return, he goes to the palace to see Concubine Hui."
