"If you can find out the mastermind behind Wanhetang, you will be rewarded with a title of nobility."
When Liu Quan heard this, his eyes lit up. Since General Shang was made a marquis, would his position also be promoted?
But the emperor's next words stunned Liu Quan. "If you can't find the mastermind within three months, then you and Liu Quan won't have to take their heads, and your entire family will be executed."
Liu Quan had already collapsed on the ground. The person behind the scenes was not so easy to investigate.
Over the years, he knew that Wanhetang was run by a big shot, and those involved with Wanhetang were all people of status. He didn't know how much resistance there would be on the road to investigation.
Shang Yuanshan grinned silently at Emperor Yuan Ming.
Emperor Yuan Ming felt his scalp tingling as he watched this. He had no idea what Shang Yuanshan was going to do next.
How could Shang Yuanshan tell them? Although he didn't know who the male protagonist Yangyang was talking about, he knew who the man behind Wanhetang was. He had heard this from Yangyang's heart a few days ago.
If he hadn't listened to Yangyang's inner voice, he would have found it hard to believe that this person was the male protagonist's.
"You two, why don't you get out and investigate the case."
"As you command, I will do my best."
Liu Quan looked at Shang Yuanshan with a face full of grievance. He was going to die. He was going to die.
Shang Yuanshan picked up Liu Quan. "Why don't you want to live anymore?"
Liu Quan didn't dare to say anything more in front of the emperor and could only follow Shang Yuanshan out.
"By the way, now that you know what poison you've been poisoned by, find someone to detoxify you."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I have found the antidote in Wanhe Hall."
"Okay, go down."
Emperor Yuan Ming knew Shang Yuanshan's general plan when he secretly entered the palace to deliver Yangcheng's account book a few days ago, but he did not expect these things to be involved.
Judging from Shang Yuanshan's appearance today, he should not have been poisoned, which should have been within his calculations.
He worried for nothing today.
Emperor Yuanming was furious just thinking about it. "Shang Yuanshan, you have to live well."
Eunuch Li was standing nearby and saw it most clearly.
Only General Shang would be like this, and the Emperor would be led by him. If it were someone else, he would have been dragged down and beaten with a stick long ago.
This shows the friendship between the emperor and Shang Yuanshan.
Eunuch Li's thoughts drifted back to those past years~~
At that time, Emperor Ming of Yuan was lonely and helpless.
The death of the late queen made him lose the protection of his mother, and his father's indifference made him feel even more desolate.
The current empress dowager, the former favorite of the late emperor, Concubine Li, and the third prince born to her, all enjoy the favor of the late emperor, while Emperor Yuan Ming seems to have been forgotten by the world.
There is only Duke Shang, the only relative of Emperor Yuan Ming.
If it weren't for Duke Shang, Emperor Yuan Ming would have already died in the palace, a place where people were eaten without leaving any bones.
The one who gave Emperor Yuan Ming hope of survival was Shang Yuanshan, a child who was also unpopular at home.
The meeting of the two was destiny.
Shang Yuanshan rescued the hunted Emperor Ming of Yuan without knowing it.
At that time, Shang Yuanshan's life was also difficult. His father's strictness and his mother's favoritism cast a shadow over his childhood.
But his kindness still saved the injured Emperor Ming of Yuan.
Shang Yuanshan brought the injured Emperor Yuan Ming back to his palace, distributed the only food he had to Emperor Yuan Ming, and hid him in his room to recuperate.
A friendship was established between the two.
Emperor Ming of Yuan, who was hiding in Shang Yuanshan's room to recuperate, could always hear Shang Yuanshan being scolded by his mother and bullied by his younger brother.
He also asked Shang Yuanshan in confusion, "Isn't she your biological mother?"
"Chengyuan, don't talk nonsense, she is my mother."
Emperor Yuan Ming thought of his mother, the love and warmth she showed him, which formed a sharp contrast with Shang Yuanshan's experience.
He asked puzzledly: "Then how could she bear to treat you like this?"
Shang Yuanshan simply said: "It's probably because I wasn't obedient enough."
Emperor Yuan Ming also remembered that his father in the palace was the same. It was as if his father treated his third brother as his only child, and no matter how hard he tried, his father would never give him a good face.
The more he thought about it, the sadder he became. He even wished that he had died at the hands of those killers. At least then he wouldn't have to go back to the palace and think about how to please his father and share some of his love with him.
But Shang Yuanshan's words, "Chengyuan, don't be sad. At least you still have an uncle who loves you. You still have me in the future. I will protect you if someone bullies you." rekindled Emperor Yuan Ming's hope for life.
"Then I will protect you too." Emperor Yuan Ming's heart was full of gratitude. He had never encountered such sincere friendship as Shang Yuanshan in the palace.
Those so-called brothers were nothing but intrigues and deceptions, which forced him to be vigilant at all times. The appearance of Shang Yuanshan made him feel the warmth and trust he had not felt for a long time.
Although this happy time was short, it was enough for Emperor Yuan Ming to remember for the rest of his life.
When Duke Shang found Emperor Yuanming and brought him back to the palace, he realized how insignificant his situation in the palace was.
No one knew about his disappearance, which made him cherish his friendship with Shang Yuanshan even more.
When Eunuch Li thought of this, he couldn't help but feel sorry for Emperor Ming of Yuan.
It was after that incident that Duke Shang sent him to Emperor Yuan Ming to become his personal eunuch to protect him.
The voice of Emperor Yuanming interrupted Eunuch Li's recollection. "Li Defu, what are you thinking about?"
Eunuch Li knelt down immediately and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me."
"Get up, go find Doctor Wang and ask him to find time to go to the General's Mansion and show me what's going on with Shang Yuanshan."
Eunuch Li smiled and said, "I will go right away."
"why are you laughing."
"The servant is happy."
"Why are you happy that Shang Yuanshan is poisoned?"
"That's not what I meant. I was just happy thinking about the things that happened when the emperor and General Shang were young."
Emperor Yuanming couldn't help but smile when he thought of the two's youth. "Indeed, that was a ray of light in our youth."
Emperor Yuanming sighed and looked at Eunuch Li below. "Go quickly and tell Doctor Wang to treat the patient with care."
"I obey your command."
In the general's mansion, Liu Quan followed Shang Yuanshan to the general's mansion.
Liu Quan: "Someone take Madam Cong to the Dali Temple."
When Li saw someone coming to arrest Nanny Cong, she was really panicked.
"Wan Ning, didn't you say that the emperor already has a grudge against Shang Yuanshan and will not help him anymore?"
"This... this is the current situation. It must be Shang Yuanshan who made the matter so big that the emperor had to intervene?"
"That's possible. If this Madam Cong was captured..."
"Mother, Madam Cong's family and her beloved grandson are all in your hands. She won't betray us. As long as she pleads guilty, this matter will end here."
Li's mouth curled up. "Yes, as long as Madam Cong pleads guilty, this matter will end here.
Without evidence, how could Shang Yuanshan still come to arrest his mother? He would definitely be impeached by the censor."
Li chased out and looked at Nanny Cong.
