"Come here, throw him into the Heavenly Prison and exile him to the Northern Desert in three months!"

The imperial guards came in and dragged General Yao out.

Li Xiangyi watched General Yao leave and sighed, "It seems like there is really going to be a storm in the court."

The emperor looked at him and asked, "You are still hiding something and haven't told me, right?"

He snorted.

In fact, he admires Li Xiangyi very much.

Li Xiangyi changed his name, but this person once fought with his father in battles across the country. At that time, the young man was extremely talented and was one of his role models.

Therefore, the priest's house has remained relatively aloof over the years.

He did not ask why Li Xiangyi changed his name and concealed his true identity to stay in Northern Qi, because he believed that a person who had fought for this country would never do anything to harm this land.

Li Xiangyi glanced at the emperor and sighed, "Your Majesty, nothing can be hidden. Recently, Ruyi discovered another incident that is exactly the same as what happened to General Yao."

"Comparing the two, the mystery in the court seems to have been lifted."

The emperor frowned, "What's the matter?"

Li Xiangyi said: "Ruyi went to visit Mu Rushuang and met Mu Yuandao. She found that Mu Yuandao was not sick, but poisoned. The time of poisoning was exactly when Cao Ru was getting married."

"Mu Yuandao felt strange when he came back from Cao Ru's wedding banquet."

"What did you say!"

The emperor was always calm, but at this moment he almost stood up!

It's not that he is not smart enough, but that everyone has their own expertise. He is not a doctor and he has never thought about that over the years.

One reason is that people from the Imperial Medical Bureau went there many times and said that Mu Yuandao was sick.

Secondly, Mu Yuandao has always been kind to others and has never offended anyone.

But I didn't expect that he was poisoned!

Li Xiangyi was also very sad, "When Ruyi went to the Gu family to break off the engagement, Mu Rushuang testified for her."

"She went there this time just to express her gratitude and see if she could help her friend. She learned some medical skills and went to visit Mu Yuandao, but she didn't expect to discover such a huge secret!"

"And now?"

The emperor took a deep breath, slowly suppressed the trembling in his heart, and asked.

Li Xiangyi said: "Ruyi has already given him acupuncture twice, and most of the poison has been forced out of his body. There is still a small amount left, and he needs to be nursed back to health for a month."

"It's just that this poison has some origins."

The emperor frowned, "If I had known this, I should have let you go and see him. I thought Doctor Qi's medical skills were already the pinnacle of Chinese medicine, but I didn't expect..."

Li Xiangyi didn't know how to respond.

Doctor Qi would definitely be able to see it, but he is old.

I'm almost seventy years old. There's no need to throw myself into the blood and gore and end up with a bad ending.

The emperor asked, "What's the poison? Tell me about it."

If Li Xiangyi could say that the poison had some origin, then it must be extraordinary.

Li Xiangyi also felt a headache, "To be precise, that thing is not poison, it is the Xiaoyao White Bone Powder refined by the Taoist priest, which is used to assist in qi gathering and cultivation. It is my master's thing."

“…”

When the emperor heard this, he was really speechless.

He also didn't expect that Yu Daoren hadn't appeared for twenty years, but his medicine appeared on Mu Yuandao's body.

Li Xiangyi was also a little depressed. "My master went to Japan for 20 years in search of immortality and there has been no news since then."

"At present, the only one who knows this thing is my junior brother Liang Siyuan."

Li Xiangyi raised his head and looked at the emperor with a complicated expression, "Now, he works in the Nanchu Palace and is the head of the Nanchu Imperial Hospital. He has been in Nanchu for more than ten years."

This is not storytelling.

The amount of information was so huge that the emperor frowned and could hardly suppress his anger.

There was no need for Li Xiangyi to say more.

The emperor figured it out himself.

Someone colluded with Nanchu to poison Mu Yuandao, and someone used the same trick to cause General Yao's horse to lose control.

All to bring them down and put their own people in power.

So, Mu Yuandao came down and the person who went up was Cao Ru.

If General Yao goes down, the person who goes up will also be closely related to Cao Ru, right?

Cao Ru was the nephew of Concubine Duan and the cousin of the Third Prince.

The Third Prince...

His sons are really promising.

Li Xiangyi looked at him like this and sighed, "Your Majesty, get some sleep. We have a tough battle tomorrow."

…

When Ruyi woke up, it was daybreak.

Eunuch Yuan stood at the door and smiled at her, "Miss, it's dawn. I will take you back. We still have to go to the Xiao family today."

"Sorry for the trouble, father-in-law!"

Ruyi stood up, straightened her appearance a little and asked, "Where is the emperor?"

"The emperor has also gone to rest. Today's morning court session has been delayed for an hour." Thinking of some things that happened last night, Eunuch Yuan's face looked a little bad.

Not only Ruyi is bound to the emperor.

Him too.

If something happened to the emperor, he would have no choice but to guard the mausoleum until his death.

Ruyi nodded and went out with him.

However, she didn't expect that on the small path outside the imperial study, she would meet Concubine Duan and two palace maids walking towards her. When their eyes fell on her face, they seemed particularly obscure.

Ruyi was stunned.

Last night, the Emperor asked Concubine Duan to pray for the late Emperor for a month. If nothing unexpected happened, she should have come to say goodbye to the Emperor and also to gather information.

"If you have any advice, please see Concubine Duan."

Ruyi came back to his senses and bowed.

Concubine Duan looked at her and asked, "Were you in the imperial study last night?"

There was an ambiguity and some hostility in her eyes, but she was holding it in, so she appeared gentle and peaceful on the surface.

But that kind of gaze made Ruyi feel a little sick.

In the past few days, Prince Yan, Rong Yan, and Xiao Pingxin have all warned her to be careful in the palace. Now, she has only entered the palace for the first time, but she already felt something strange.

It was obvious that in Concubine Duan's eyes, she was not a subject.

Just a woman.

When a woman and a man are together, there is no serious business.

Even though there is a whole generation difference in age between them, it does not stop them from thinking things in a dirty way.

"No, I just had something to do. It was almost dawn when I got here."

Ruyi looked up at Concubine Duan without dodging or avoiding.

There was neither intimacy nor hostility, just a sense of alienation lingering around him.

"Is that so? Why did you come to see the Emperor so late at night?"

Concubine Duan glanced in the direction of the imperial study, and then she remembered that the emperor had just lost his name, so even if she had any thoughts about Ziwei Fuxing, it shouldn't be that...

There was a faint smile on her face.

At this moment, the expression seemed to soften a little.

Ruyi sneered in her heart.

"I was assassinated last night by the city defense army. Hasn't your Majesty heard about it?"

Her eyes were fixed on Concubine Duan's face, and Ruyi looked at her without blinking.

Concubine Duan's eyes flickered slightly, "Is there such a thing?"

Then he walked closer quickly, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, thank you for your concern, ma'am."

Ruyi remained calm as she looked at her and said, "It's just that things are very chaotic outside right now. First, the Crown Prince was assassinated, and then I was assassinated."

"The enemy is desperate. Your Majesty, you'd better be careful when you go out."

“…”

Concubine Duan clenched her fingers, she felt that Ruyi was scolding her.

She looked at Ruyi with a gloomy look in her eyes, "Okay."

Then she smiled and said, "I heard that you will be entering the palace soon. If you need any help, just send someone to come to me."

"Thank you for your concern, madam."

Ruyi bowed again, and when he saw her clenched fists, a flash of coldness flashed in her eyes.

Concubine Duan stepped away from her and walked forward, "Eunuch, I want to see the emperor."
