It is no exaggeration to say that as long as the concubines unite, the emperor can be destroyed.
Behind these concubines is a network of relationships, large and small, involving people from all walks of life in the palace.
They have people in the six bureaus and one department, as well as the Imperial Medical Service, the Kitchen, the Imperial Guards, etc.
The six bureaus are: the Shanggong Bureau, the Shangyi Bureau, the Shangfu Bureau, the Shangshi Bureau, the Shangqin Bureau and the Shanggong Bureau.
The first department is the Palace Administration Department.
If Bei Lingyao didn't have spiritual awareness and could monitor these people's every move, she would really have fallen into the trap.
Food, clothing, housing, transportation, food, clothing, and daily necessities, as long as the source is infiltrated, there are many places to start.
Not to mention the involvement of the Imperial Medical Bureau.
These concubines were also very smart. They placed people in the palaces of some minor concubines and instigated those minor concubines to take action.
Bei Lingyao just felt terrified. Emperor Jiahe should be thankful that his concubines did not unite against him, nor would they unite against him, otherwise they would not be able to defend against him.
After the concubines united, Bei Lingyao's clothes, rouge, powder, etc. began to have incompatible effects.
The soil in some flower pots and ornaments has been soaked in medicinal powder.
If she hadn't studied medicine in her previous life and hadn't had spiritual awareness, she really wouldn't have been able to discover it.
Bei Lingyao observed it and found that Nanny Qu and the others had not noticed it, and the imperial physician sent by Emperor Jiahe to Yongshou Palace every day to check on the emperor's pulse had not noticed it either.
This is a chronic poison, or a counteracting poison.
One or two of them will not cause any problem, but when put together, they will form toxins. Over time, people will slowly become exhausted and die.
The queen was so vicious, but she was smart enough not to reveal it. Instead, she let her confidant tell it to Concubine Shu.
Concubine Shu is stupid, but the people around her are not stupid, not to mention Concubine Jing and the others, who are even less stupid.
When I think about it carefully, I always feel that the queen was involved, but also seemed not to be involved.
When I figured it out, I immediately became angry.
They felt that the queen was treating them as fools. Since they were all involved, they could never get out of it.
They try hard to drag each other into the water, dig a hole for each other, and then try desperately to get themselves out. They all want to be the fisherman, the mantis stalking the cicada while the oriole waits behind.
Bei Lingyao was amazed.
Now that they have taken action, she will naturally cooperate.
Soon, news spread in the harem that Concubine Zhuang was ill.
Emperor Jiahe was anxious, and the empress dowager came out of the small Buddhist temple after hearing the news.
The mother and son were both in Yongshou Palace, anxiously waiting for the imperial doctors to diagnose their pulses.
Unfortunately, the imperial doctors didn’t notice it.
"Since Imperial Concubine Zhuang is fine, why is she feeling dizzy, has a headache, and feels weak all over?"
Emperor Jiahe was angry.
The imperial doctors were frightened and wiped the sweat from their foreheads. They really didn't find any problems.
Emperor Jiahe summoned all the imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Bureau.
But everyone said that Concubine Zhuang was fine.
The Queen Mother frowned and said, "Please check if there is anything unpleasant in Yongshou Palace."
As soon as these words were spoken, the doctors from the Imperial Medical Bureau began to examine the Yongshou Palace.
But I couldn't find anything wrong at the moment.
Seeing this, the Queen Mother said, "I don't know what's wrong with Concubine Zhuang. Will she be sick? What about Mu Yao and Qian Tong? How about I take care of them first?"
"I raise it myself."
Emperor Jiahe did not distrust the Empress Dowager, but he distrusted the Yang family members around the Empress Dowager.
If something happened to the twins in the Cining Palace, it would be useless for him to blame his own mother.
"How can you support yourself? You still have to attend court and handle government affairs every day."
The Queen Mother said this and looked at Bei Lingyao who was lying unconscious on the bed and sighed.
"Don't worry, mother. The imperial concubine just has a headache and is weak. She is not unconscious. If I am too busy, I will definitely trouble you."
"Alright, then I'll go back to the Cining Palace first."
The Queen Mother paused as she spoke, "As for Imperial Concubine Zhuang, the entire Imperial Hospital can't find anything. If this continues tomorrow, I will thoroughly investigate the entire harem."
"Mother, you are suspicious..."
Emperor Jiahe was startled.
"I hope not."
The Queen Mother left with a solemn expression.
"Madam Yang, please keep an eye on Concubine Shu for me. I hope she doesn't do anything stupid."
"Don't worry, Her Majesty the Empress Dowager. Her Majesty the Concubine has been very well behaved lately."
As soon as Madam Yang finished speaking, the Queen Mother snorted, "Madam, you are also from the Yang family, and you have been following my elders. Since Concubine Shu entered the palace, a group of spies from the Yang family have been following her, and even I didn't know about it, and I couldn't control it.
But if Concubine Shu uses these people to do anything unfavorable, or if the Yang family takes action, please do not ask me for mercy after the incident."
"I'll go and ask around."
Nanny Yang also hopes that Concubine Shu will not be so confused.
The Queen Mother watched Nanny Yang go away, not knowing what she was thinking.
The people around her are all old people who have served her. They have been with her in the harem for so many years, and she doesn't want to doubt anyone of them.
But when it comes to the Yang family, will they stand on her side or the Yang family's side?
The Queen Mother was uncertain.
She used to be one with the Yang family, sharing the same fate and no conflicts.
But this year she discovered that the Yang family was no longer the Yang family she used to be, and she was no longer the person she used to be.
The stance is different.
In Yongshou Palace, Bei Lingyao woke up slowly. It was already night.
Emperor Jiahe laid a mat on the floor beside his bed, then set up a table to review memorials, and the twins slept beside him.
But at this moment, Emperor Jiahe looked solemn, with his brows furrowed, as if he had a knot that could not be untied.
"emperor"
"Yao'er is awake."
Emperor Jiahe quickly stood up and walked to the bedside and asked with concern: "How do you feel? Are you feeling any discomfort?"
Bei Lingyao shook her head slightly. "It's just a headache, some nausea, fatigue, and drowsiness. Your Majesty, do I have a terminal illness?"
"Nonsense, Yao'er will be fine."
"Let's go to the Yangxin Palace. We can't live here anymore."
Emperor Jiahe suddenly stood up.
"Your Majesty, it's the middle of the night. Even if we need to move, now is not the time."
"No need to move, just go there."
Emperor Jiahe immediately let Zhang De in. He picked up Bei Lingyao and ordered Zhang De and Madam Qu to take the twins to the Yangxin Palace.
Bei Lingyao raised the corner of her mouth slightly, she didn't expect that Emperor Jiahe would cut off the source of the problem.
But will those people reach out to the Yangxin Palace?
At this time, the concubines in the harem were happy after learning that Bei Lingyao was in trouble. They all fell asleep peacefully and had sweet dreams.
I never thought that when I woke up in the morning, I would receive the news that Bei Lingyao and the twins were moving into the Yangxin Palace.
Snap!
The concubines were furious and those with bad tempers started smashing and destroying things.
The queen looked gloomy.
"My Lady, what should I do?"
Attacking Concubine Zhuang is tantamount to murdering a concubine, which is not a serious crime.
But if anyone attacks the Yangxin Palace, it would be tantamount to plotting to murder the emperor, a crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of the family.
The queen was unwilling to accept this, but she knew that if she took action against the Yangxin Palace, the concubines would definitely not agree, and some might even turn against her and sell them out.
Especially the brainless idiot Shufei is the most likely one.
"Noble Concubine Zhuang has been poisoned. Our people should withdraw immediately. We will not get involved. Noble Concubine Shu and Noble Concubine Jing will not let Noble Concubine Zhuang go. I will just sit back and reap the benefits."
