Chapter 96 Do I need to choose a day to beat you?
"Empress Dowager Chen is such a bad person!" Liu Zhiyuan cursed inwardly.
"Of course." Zhou Kang agreed with this statement very much.
No matter what, the child is innocent. It is disgusting that she did that kind of thing in front of her own son.
I didn't feel much when reading the book, I just felt that the tyrant Xiao Yu's badness was understandable.
However, when the paper man came to life and became a real person, people realized how pitiful he was.
With such a dark childhood and the death of his father, the only person in the world who loved him, it would be strange if he didn't go crazy.
"Why didn't Xiao Yu chop off Empress Dowager Chen as well?" Liu Zhiyuan asked.
According to Xiao Yu's personality, it shouldn't be possible that Empress Dowager Chen could still live until now and act tyrannically in the harem for so long.
"You're probably afraid, right? The eldest son of the Chen family is the general of the Northwest, commanding an army of 400,000. If he really pushes the Chen family into a corner, it won't be a joke."
Dayong has a total of 500,000 troops, of which 400,000 are in the hands of the Chen family, and the remaining 100,000 are in the hands of General Yan, or it can be said that they are in the hands of the emperor.
One hundred thousand against four hundred thousand, it is bound to lose.
This is not the most important thing.
The neighboring countries have always been eyeing Dayong covetously. Once a fight breaks out within Dayong, the neighboring countries will surely rise up and attack.
By then, not only will lives be lost, but the country may even be destroyed.
It is precisely because of this that the emperor and Prime Minister Chen are wary of each other and maintain a superficial balance.
Liu Zhiyuan was worried. The Chen family was powerful and had a large number of troops under their control. Was it really that easy to redress her father's case?
Zhou Kang saw her worry and comforted her, "Although the Chen family is powerful, they dare not rebel easily. Otherwise, they would be traitors and have no legitimate reason to usurp the throne. Otherwise, they would have ascended the throne themselves instead of using a prince from the cold palace as a puppet."
"That's not what I'm worried about."
"Are you worried about the Liu family's case?"
Liu Zhiyuan nodded.
"Don't worry. Now is not the time for the Chen family to dominate the world. Since the emperor was able to fight Prime Minister Chen to a draw, he naturally has the means to check and balance him. As long as the truth can be found out, the Liu family will be able to overturn the verdict."
The most important thing now is to find out where the two million taels of silver went.
"The sooner rather than later, the better. Let's go to the Ministry of Revenue's treasury tonight to take a look." Liu Zhiyuan said.
"Okay, about what time?"
"Ten o'clock, maybe."
I don’t know if Xiao Yu will turn over the sign of Zining Palace tonight. If he comes, I have to prepare some sleeping pills to knock him out.
"Then I'll wait for you in the room at ten o'clock tonight."
Liu Zhiyuan, "..."
Although this is a normal statement, it sounds strange.
After the discussion, the two opened the door and went out. Yan Ruyu had already fallen asleep while admiring the flowers.
Liu Zhiyuan was about to go over and wake the person up, but was stopped by Zhou Kang.
"My Lady, why don't you go back first and let Xiaoyu sleep for a while. Then go back after she wakes up."
"That's fine. Then you can carry her into the house or hold an umbrella for her."
Although Yan Ruyu was sitting in a place that was not exposed to the sun, the light outside was too strong, making it uncomfortable to sleep.
"I know."
After returning to Zining Palace, Liu Zhiyuan called Jinfu to his side alone.
"Jinfu, do you have any way to get the drugs?"
Jin Fu was puzzled, "My Lady, what do you want the drug for?"
"Making the Emperor unconscious."
Jin Fu's legs went weak and he almost fell to his knees.
She was horrified, "Your Majesty, this is unacceptable. Giving the Emperor drugs is a crime of subversion and murder."
Your nine clans will not agree!
"Why are you panicking? I just think the emperor doesn't sleep well, so I want him to sleep more peacefully."
Jin Fu didn't believe a word of it.
The emperor did not sleep well in the past, but since he had the empress to sleep with him, he has been sleeping well.
I sleep until the morning every day.
"Anyway, just go get the medicine. I won't harm the emperor."
"Really."
"Nonsense, this is the imperial palace. Do you think I'm going to die if you dare to harm the emperor? Also, no matter what your purpose is in coming to me, please remember one thing: you are my maid now. Get out if you don't obey me."
Jin Fu's pupils suddenly contracted. Could it be that she had been exposed?
impossible!
She disguised herself so well!
Liu Zhiyuan rolled her eyes in her heart, you had already exposed your kiss.
"Hurry up."
"oh."
Jin Fu bowed and turned to leave.
She did not immediately go to get the sleeping pills, but summoned the secret guards and reported the news to the emperor.
Even if she had ten times the courage, she wouldn't dare to do something as serious as murdering the emperor.
Moreover, although her real master is the emperor, and she was only sent by the emperor to protect Concubine Liu, she has been with Concubine Liu for so long that she also regards her as her master.
I really don't want to see Concubine Liu take risks.
In the imperial study, Xiao Yu put down the memorial and asked, "She wants to drug me?"
Damn woman, it’s not enough that she casts spells on him every day, now she’s bold enough to drug him, right!
His fingers tapped lightly on the table, and his eyes slowly narrowed.
"Give it to her."
He wanted to see what the woman was going to do next.
The secret guard handed a small bottle to Jin Fu, who passed it to Liu Zhiyuan.
"So fast." Liu Zhiyuan looked at the small bottle in his hand, feeling very curious.
Is this the ancient aphrodisiac? It was her first time drugging someone, so why was she a little excited?
"How do I use this?"
"Just uncork the bottle and let the emperor smell it." Jin Fu said.
"Should I let him smell it directly, or pour it on a rag?"
She used to cover her mouth with a rag from behind when watching TV, and she said it was very cool.
Kind of want to try it.
Jinfu opened his mouth slightly, the rag...
Your Majesty, it is the Emperor you want to drug, so if you want to use it, you should use a silk handkerchief, not a rag.
"No, as long as His Majesty can smell it."
"Then just pull the cork out. What if I can smell it too?"
Jinfu really wanted to say that he wanted you to smell it too, so that you wouldn't cause any trouble.
He originally wanted to play dead and not give the antidote, but now he had no choice but to take out a pill.
"My lady, you can take the antidote in advance."
"Oh, why didn't you tell me there was an antidote?"
Jinfu was ashamed.
Everything is ready, just waiting for night to fall.
However, plans cannot keep up with changes. Shortly after dinner, the empress dowager sent someone to say that she was ill and asked her to go to Wanshou Palace.
Liu Zhiyuan had just finished showering and was planning his evening plans.
Hearing this, he was puzzled. "The Queen Mother is ill, so please ask the imperial physician. I don't know any medical skills, so why would you ask me to go there?"
Are you going to send the Queen Mother to heaven?
If so, she would be happy to do so.
The eunuch delivering the decree said with a haughty expression, "Of course, I will ask the Empress to come and serve her."
Liu Zhiyuan was powerless to complain, "I'll go and serve you, so what use will you have?"
The Queen Mother has so many palace maids and eunuchs around her, does she still need to serve her?
You must be sick.
The eunuch's face was filled with impatience. "She is truly a daughter raised in a humble family. She doesn't know the rules of the palace at all. The Queen Mother is unwell, and it is the concubines' responsibility to serve her."
Yoho!
How dare a damn eunuch act so arrogantly in front of me!
