"Eunuch Lu, I would also like to congratulate you on becoming His Majesty's eunuch."
"I will rely heavily on you in the days ahead."
Concubine Xiao Mei said this with a very respectful look.
Lu Yun took a look and quickly replied, "This is all thanks to the Empress."
"If the Queen hadn't asked me to see His Majesty last night, I'm afraid this wouldn't have happened."
When Xiao Mei heard the compliment, she instantly became in a good mood, laughed a lot, raised her eyebrows with some pride, and looked at Shangguan Feng'er.
Shangguan Feng'er's face became a little stiff. Was he provoking her in person?
"No, no, it's just that Eunuch Lu has this ability."
"Eunuch Lu, you have done me a great favor. How about this, from now on, if you have anything to ask of me, you can bring it up as long as I can do it."
Originally, Xiao Mei was thinking of giving Lu Yun some rewards, such as gold, silver and treasures.
But... the Queen is here, and I'm embarrassed to bring it up, so I can only brush it off for now.
Shangguan Feng'er listened to the conversation between the two and her expression became very strange. She knew very well that if His Majesty's illness was cured, the greatest credit would actually go to Xiao Mei.
Even her brother Xiao He would benefit from it.
Then, could it be that the rebellion in the four southeastern and southern provinces will also fall on his head?
no!
Absolutely not!
Shangguan Feng'er also stepped forward and said with a smile: "Eunuch Lu, if you encounter any problems in the future, you can also ask me to handle it."
"I will also treat you well."
Lu Yun thought to himself, why are all of them trying to please me?
But it was also true that she had a special relationship with the emperor now, and women like her really had to speak for themselves in the harem.
I have to say, this time travel is really cool...
"Thank you, Queen, for your kindness."
After saying that, Shangguan Feng'er was about to leave, but suddenly, she turned around, frowned, and said to Xiao Mei, "Sister Xiao, have you rested enough?"
"You can't stay in Taihe Palace for long."
"You'd better return to your bedroom as soon as possible."
Xiao Mei's eyes were filled with resentment, but she couldn't say anything, so she had to agree, "Don't worry, Madam, I will leave."
After Shangguan Feng'er left, Xiao Mei hurriedly said to Lu Yun, "Eunuch Lu, you, haven't you defected to the Empress?"
"You are mine."
Lu Yun smiled awkwardly. What do you mean by your people? Obviously, you are all mine.
You've already had physical contact, why are you still making sarcastic remarks?
Come to think of it, I seem to be the empress's man.
But he still said on the surface, "Don't worry, Your Majesty."
"That's good."
After saying that, Xiao Mei called Qiao'er over and said, "Qiao'er, go prepare some banknotes for Eunuch Lu. Also, I'll send someone to bring you some gold, silver, and jewelry tonight."
"Eunuch Lu, what do you think?"
Lu Yun was naturally overjoyed and agreed.
In fact, with his current status and position, these gold, silver and treasures are just an add-on to him.
There is not much difference whether you have it or not.
…
Qianqing Hall.
Liang Jing was sitting at the desk, preparing to deal with the recent state affairs, when suddenly a voice was heard outside.
"Your Majesty, General Shangguan Yun requests an audience."
"What?"
Liang Jing frowned, thinking that it might not be right for the general to ask to see him at this time.
Shouldn't he be resting and recuperating at home now?
"Let him in."
Soon, Shangguan Yun, dressed in court robes and looking sickly, arrived at the main hall. "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
Liang Jing waved his hand and said, "Get up, father-in-law."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
I just saw Shangguan Yun slowly stand up, and it felt like he was about to faint at any moment.
Liang Jing asked helplessly, "General, why don't you stay at home and recuperate? Why did you come to this palace to see me?"
Shangguan Yun snorted coldly, "Your Majesty, I have learned that many of your ministers want to send General Xiao He to quell the rebellion in the four southern provinces."
Liang Jing smiled awkwardly and explained, "The ministers are also concerned about your health."
"After all, General, you don't look capable of commanding an army right now."
"This matter is of great importance. Moreover, you are my relative and minister. I naturally don't want anything to happen to you."
Shangguan Yun certainly understood what the emperor meant. He sighed and said, "Your Majesty trusts me, and I naturally know that."
"After all, my daughter is also your majesty's queen."
"Your Majesty, I just learned today that my meals have been poisoned, which is why my body is getting weaker and weaker."
Liang Jing was horrified. Last night he had asked Shadow Guard Thirteen to find out that the reason Shangguan Yun was seriously ill was because of the influence of the poison.
How come Shangguan Yun found out about this today?
"General, how did you know this?"
"Today, my son found a famous doctor, and he found out."
"However, this famous doctor did not provide a solution."
Liang Jing suddenly realized... This is not right! Coincidentally, there was a famous doctor, and then, Shangguan Yun knew about this.
There is no need to guess, Shangguan Yun will definitely say next that the person who poisoned him must be Xiao He.
As expected, Shangguan Yun continued, "Your Majesty, I believe the person who poisoned the body must be Xiao He."
"If I were to become seriously ill, he would naturally be the one who would benefit the most in the court."
"He chose to do this so that he could go on the expedition and take all the credit on himself."
“…”
Liang Jing was helpless. He had known this for a long time, and he knew that someone must be deliberately trying to stir up conflict between their two families, and even with himself.
The person behind the scenes has not yet been identified, but now the conflict has already been triggered.
Liang Jing shook his head, "General, this matter is definitely not that simple."
"What I mean is that someone is trying to sow discord between you two."
Shangguan Yun didn't believe it at all. He said angrily, "Your Majesty, Xiao He is definitely capable of doing this!"
"In his early years, when he was a general under my command, I could see that he definitely had this kind of mind and was very ambitious."
"This..." Liang Jing understood that Shangguan Yun would not listen to any reason now.
One reason was the poisoning incident, and the other was that the ministers in the court kept recommending Xiao He, causing him to lose all his sanity.
At this moment, Liang Jing suddenly thought of Lu Yun. The best plan now was to cure the general's illness.
Although Lu Yun doesn't know how to use poison, he didn't say that he can't cure it, right?
"General, your health is important."
"How about this, I'll find someone for you to heal your body first, and then we can talk about other things."
Shangguan Yun naturally couldn't swallow this, but there was nothing he could do, so he had to nod and agree.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."
