If Your Majesty knew that someone said he had kidney deficiency, he would definitely be furious.
Fortunately, he tried hard to control himself and didn't laugh out loud, so Tao Yuwei, who was paying attention to him, caught him.
Tao Yuwei glared at him angrily, then averted her gaze and said solemnly to Emperor Jianchang, "Your Majesty, the old eunuch we rescued was said to be someone close to the late emperor. If you have any questions, please ask her in person."
[The person hiding in the palace will definitely poison Your Majesty again. The poison is colorless and odorless, and it is a slow-acting poison that will only take effect after several years. How can I remind Your Majesty of this again?]
Tao Yuwei was a little worried. She had reminded him once the last time she entered the palace.
Some things are not good if you say them too much.
The information Xiao Lichen told her was confirmed to be accurate.
After looking at her deeply, Xiao Lichen reminded Emperor Jianchang.
"Your Majesty, the Xiao Yuwei have received important information: someone is hiding around you, looking for an opportunity to attack you.
I will send someone to protect you to prevent you from being poisoned. I also ask Eunuch Zhao to investigate the palace servants around Your Majesty and identify the person harboring evil intentions."
As soon as Xiao Lichen finished speaking, Tao Yuwei widened her eyes in surprise.
The villain is so well-informed.
She said this because she knew the plot. He was able to find out such confidential matters, which shows how powerful he is.
This is good. With him around, she doesn't have to worry too much.
When His Majesty meets the old eunuch she rescued, he will know what Concubine Huo did. She will fall without him stepping forward.
The palace is not safe, so she should return to her own house as soon as possible.
"Uncle Emperor, I need to leave the palace. Could you please send someone to escort me?"
Emperor Jianchang sighed and said apologetically, "I'm sorry for causing Anle so much suffering. I'll have the Imperial Guards escort you back immediately. Tomorrow, I'll have Cao Youliang go to the General's Mansion to check on your injuries."
Fortunately, this girl knew some kung fu and saved Xiaojiu and the old eunuch before Gu Xinyuan arrived.
After finding out who is behind this, he will have to reward Anle with some good things to appease her.
Tao Yuwei happily praised Emperor Jianchang for his wisdom and bravery, and jumped out of the room to listen to his advice without asking for money.
Emperor Jianchang accepted her compliment with a smile.
One of them dares to say anything, while the other will agree reluctantly after hearing it.
Queen Gu looked at Tao Yuwei and felt very unhappy.
Only Princess Anle, who was personally appointed by His Majesty, can make requests boldly and freely.
Every time she entered the palace, she did whatever she wanted without any self-awareness.
Which princess or prince in the palace is like her? She has no rules at all and comes and goes as she pleases. If it weren't for the fact that she saved Xiaojiu, she would have punished her according to the palace rules.
Xiao Lichen was not at all surprised that she made the request so calmly.
These royal family members are not as good as Princess Anle, who does what she wants and lives a free life.
If the children of noble families in the capital were to encounter today's assassination incident, they would not be allowed to leave the palace until the cause of the incident was fully investigated.
The eunuch Zhao Chong who was standing nearby had anticipated this. He first called a few eunuchs from outside and asked them to carry the sedan chair from the palace and come out of the hall.
Several palace maids helped Tao Yuwei into the sedan chair, followed by a team of royal guards, and walked out of the palace.
After they disappeared, Emperor Jianchang ordered Empress Gu to thoroughly investigate all the eunuchs and palace maids in the harem.
"If anyone shows any abnormality, the Queen will report it to me."
Queen Gu accepted the order seriously and left in a hurry.
"Chen'er, follow me to Wenying Palace."
Emperor Jianchang and his entourage rushed to Wenying Palace.
There they were going to meet the old eunuch rescued by Tao Yuwei.
Heiyan pushed Xiao Lichen's wheelchair and followed behind.
Thinking of the evidence in his hands, Xiao Lichen looked at Emperor Jianchang's back and fell into deep thought.
More than half of the people on the list he got had become important officials in the court.
These people are very powerful, and it will take some time for him to collect evidence and find the many clues about their involvement in the incident.
He can't just rely on this list to defeat the other party in one go.
Those people are powerful, and to bring them down not only takes time but also requires various preparations to be made in advance.
I suggest to Your Majesty that you select more talents so that after you bring these people down, it won’t cause an earth-shaking impact and paralyze the court.
He has many things to worry about, but he will never give up on overturning the verdict and seeking justice for his grandparents' family.
Now, he has a direction. Concubine Huo's brother has been taken to the cell. Tonight, he is going to see Huo Wei.
Xiao Lichen had just collected his thoughts when he realized he had arrived at His Majesty's Wenying Palace.
As soon as he entered the hall, Emperor Jianchang immediately summoned Gu Xinyuan.
Not long after, Eunuch Cheng, the old eunuch who had served the late emperor for many years, was brought into the Wenying Palace.
When he saw Eunuch Cheng, Emperor Jianchang recognized him.
"Eunuch Cheng, what did you see in the harem?"
According to palace rules, after the death of the previous emperor, all the people who served him were required to guard the imperial tomb.
Eunuch Cheng was an exception. Before the late emperor left, he specifically told Eunuch Cheng where to go. He could stay in the palace and choose a palace to live out his days, or he could leave the palace.
In the end, Eunuch Cheng chose a dilapidated palace to stay in.
Faced with Emperor Jianchang's question, Eunuch Cheng looked hesitant.
Emperor Jianchang waved his hand, and everyone except Xiao Lichen left the Wenying Palace.
"Now you can tell me."
Emperor Jianchang had his back to Eunuch Cheng and could not see his expression.
Eunuch Cheng thought about it and finally told the reason why he was assassinated by a group of fake eunuchs.
