Therefore, when Dongli Lu Cang entered the palace the next day, he smelled a strange fragrance in the main hall.
Smelling the fragrance, Dongli Lucang's eyes flickered.
Sure enough, they couldn't resist taking action.
If the poison in his body hadn't been cured, then once this medicinal ingredient was used, he would inevitably have died from the poison. Unfortunately, he met Yunzhi, who cured him of the poison.
Therefore, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor were destined to be disappointed.
Ever since the emperor released the medicinal ingredient, he had been secretly watching Lu Cang of Dongli, waiting for him to succumb to the poison. To this end, he even disguised himself as a eunuch and stayed in the Hall of Diligent Governance.
But he waited and waited, until Dongli Lu Cang was already sitting at his desk reviewing memorials, and there was not a trace of anything unusual.
Could it be that the medicinal guide is ineffective?
The emperor looked on with suspicion. That thing was left to him by the late emperor, who instructed him to use it only after he had complete control of the power.
But now, he hasn't even touched the edge of imperial power, yet he still couldn't help but use it. He was simply fed up with being constantly restrained by Dongli Lu Cang, fed up with the court officials only listening to Dongli Lu Cang, and fed up with Dongli Lu Cang not even letting him attend court.
Another half hour passed, and Dongli Lu Cang was still completely unharmed. The emperor began to panic.
He suspected both that the medicinal ingredient had been switched and that the poison in Dongli Lucang's body had been neutralized. Neither of these possibilities was something he could bear.
If his guess comes true, then he can forget about ruling in his lifetime.
Dongli Lu Cang had already seen the emperor disguised as a eunuch standing not far from him, but he didn't expose him. He even thought that since the emperor liked to dress as a eunuch, why not just make him a eunuch directly?
He'd already enjoyed everything he was entitled to, and he even had a child. Becoming a eunuch wouldn't affect anything.
The emperor was deep in thought when he suddenly sensed a malice. He couldn't help but look up and saw that Dongli Lu Cang was staring at him.
That gaze made him uneasy, and he turned and hurriedly left the hall.
Watching the emperor leave in a hurry, Dongli Lu Cang calmly withdrew his gaze and continued reviewing the memorials.
In Cixi Palace, the Empress Dowager was also waiting for news. However, no news came from either her servants or her son, causing her to become increasingly anxious.
She was afraid of failure, afraid of not succeeding. If that were the case, her and her son's lives would become even more difficult.
Lu Cang of Dongli might even take the opportunity to kill them and seize power for himself.
The thought of this made the Empress Dowager panic. Although they didn't have much power now, she was still the Empress Dowager, high above all others, and the noblewomen still had to kneel and pay their respects to her.
But if you die, you have nothing left.
Compared to her life, she would rather live the life she has now.
Just then, a eunuch guarding outside the palace came to report that the emperor had arrived.
The Empress Dowager looked up and saw the Emperor running towards her dressed as a eunuch. Her face immediately fell, and she said, "Your Majesty, what kind of decorum is this?"
"Mother, something terrible has happened."
"What's wrong?"
"I suspect there's a problem with the medicine's active ingredient."
"What do you mean?" The Empress Dowager's heart sank. If that were true, they would be in deep trouble.
"The Regent didn't react at all, and he even discovered me."
"What, you?" The Empress Dowager pointed at the Emperor's nose, not knowing what to say to him.
She used to be proud of her son's obedience.
Now, however, she regrets it, regretting that she raised her son to be like this.
