Chapter 428: Medicine is Poisonous
After just saying these few words, Concubine Rou became so weak that she had no strength left.
Jinse felt distressed and worried, "If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have used such a strong medicine."
Concubine Rou smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will be fine."
She will not fall down until she sees with her own eyes that her father, brother and A Ci are safe and sound, and until she sees that the people who framed her receive the retribution they deserve.
After leaving Xiyan Palace, Emperor Defeng was still shrouded in a low pressure.
There are too many strange things about what happened today to bear careful consideration.
When he thought about it carefully, he felt dizzy and his blood was boiling.
Sitting on the dragon throne, he suddenly covered his chest, gasped for breath, and a look of pain appeared on his face.
Feng Youcai hurriedly patted his back to calm him down, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Your health is more important."
Emperor Defeng waved his hand and said, "Bring me a pill."
The medicine he was talking about was the one prescribed when Zhao Shuning came to the palace for treatment last time. The imperial physician of the Imperial Hospital studied the pill and found nothing wrong with it, so he kept taking it.
He has been relying on the medicine for some time.
Feng Youcai, however, showed concern on his face, "Your Majesty, medicine is three parts poison..."
Feng Youcai disliked the female doctor at first sight.
Emperor Defeng's tone left no room for doubt, "Bring it to me."
Seeing this, Feng Youcai didn't dare to persuade him any further.
Emperor Defeng took the medicine and his discomfort was relieved.
Doesn't he know that all medicines are poisonous?
The elixir given by the female doctor is very effective and must be a medicine for tigers and wolves.
But at his age, he can no longer care about too much.
He has too much unfinished business to fall down like this.
At this time, the Dragon Scale Guard came to report that Yulan was too timid and was frightened to death when she saw the torture instruments during the trial.
Before the Dragon Scale Guards could even start asking any questions, the man died.
This unexpected turn of events caught them off guard, and they had to apologize to Emperor Defeng immediately.
"I failed to perform my duties and take good care of the hostages. Your Majesty, please punish me!"
Emperor Defeng's already gloomy mood became even more gloomy.
"waste!"
The Dragon Scale Guard who was in charge of the interrogation lowered his head and admitted his mistake, not daring to quibble even a word.
"Investigate everything that happened during her lifetime and who she interacted with. Find out everything for me."
The Dragon Scale Guard responded immediately.
Just as he was about to leave, Emperor Defeng called him back.
"etc."
Emperor Defeng pondered for a moment and slowly said, "Send someone to investigate Zhao Zhaoyi and Huipin, including Prince An and Prince Ning."
The Dragon Scale Guard took the order and left.
Feng Youcai stood aside, observing his heart with his eyes and nose.
The situation in the court is so unpredictable that it catches people off guard.
No one can predict the outcome until the last moment.
It goes without saying how gloomy Zhao Zhaoyi's mood was at this moment.
In the Yunjin Palace, Concubine Hui also had a gloomy expression and smashed several sets of tea sets.
Her confidant tried to persuade her to calm down, but the heat on her face reminded her of the humiliation she had suffered, and when she thought of the old grudges, she couldn't swallow it no matter what.
Back then, she had a chance to become a mother, but suffered an unexpected miscarriage.
Afterwards, she investigated and found that the matter was closely related to Concubine Rou.
But she had no evidence, and Concubine Rou was in favor at the time, so she could do nothing about her.
She had originally placed her hopes on Xiao Yanheng, but that sickly fellow was in such poor health that he had no chance of becoming emperor. Huipin felt upset whenever she saw him.
Originally, she looked down upon Zhao Zhaoyi and her son, but she did not expect that they would become the most fortunate people.
When Zhao Zhaoyi hinted to her that she wanted to take action against Concubine Rou, Huipin agreed because she thought of the old grudges.
Zhao Zhaoyi claimed that everything was ready and she only needed to make Concubine Rou sick and then invite Concubine De to Xiyan Palace for a search.
But unexpectedly, their plan would go wrong at the most critical link.
It was clear that the two of them had fallen into Concubine Rou's evil scheme.
Huipin was angry at Concubine Rou for her treachery, and secretly cursed Zhao Zhaoyi for being unreliable, which led to her being punished.
The former dynasty and the harem have always been inseparable.
The situation of the previous dynasty will affect the status of the concubines in the harem. Conversely, any disturbance in the harem will also affect the situation of the previous dynasty.
Overnight, the emperor brought Concubine Rou, who had been under house arrest, to the Qionghua Palace and ordered someone to serve her attentively.
However, Concubine Hui and Concubine Zhao were placed under house arrest and were reportedly slapped.
As for the reason, no one knows.
After the court was dismissed, Xiao Yanlin wanted to meet Zhao Zhaoyi, but was stopped.
"Your Highness Prince Ning, please forgive me. The Emperor has ordered that Zhao Zhaoyi cannot see anyone during her confinement. Prince Ning, please return. If you have any message for Zhao Zhaoyi, I can do it for you."
Naturally, Xiao Yanlin couldn't let others say what he wanted to say, so he turned around and left without saying anything.
After leaving the palace, his expression became completely gloomy.
He slammed his hand hard on the coffee table, and blood immediately came out, but he didn't feel any pain at all.
It seems that the last plan failed.
hateful!
They planned so carefully, why did they fail?
How does my mother do things?
Originally, he could have kicked Xiao Yanci out completely, leaving him no longer able to compete with him, but he never expected that his mother would fail him at the critical moment.
What was the significance of my father bringing Concubine Rou to Qionghua Palace? Could it be that he was feeling compassion for Xiao Yanci again?
no!
Xiao Yanci must die.
Only his death can eliminate all possibilities.
The position of crown prince can only belong to him and can never be taken away by others.
If the emperor is still hesitant, then don't blame him for being unfilial as a son.
A hint of murderous intent flashed in Xiao Yanlin's eyes.
Zhou Weihai sent back the news that the army had arrived at the Lancang River. The bridge was destroyed by the flood and the army could not pass through. They were trying every possible way to rebuild the bridge and restore traffic.
They exchanged messages with the Southern Yunnan Army. The other side was friendly and actively cooperated in building the bridge, without any unusual behavior.
Emperor Defeng looked at the memorial and fell into deep thought.
He suddenly asked, "Is Sun Muzhi in Guizhou now?"
Feng Youcai said hurriedly, "That's right. Lord Sun reported that the flooding in Jiangnan has been mostly under control, but the people in Guizhou have suffered severely. So he led his men to Guizhou, and now the disaster in Guizhou has been brought under control."
Emperor Defeng nodded slowly, "He is a talented general."
Feng Youcai was still wondering why the emperor suddenly brought up this matter when he heard him say, "I have a secret order. Order Sun Muzhi to lead his troops to southern Yunnan and secretly investigate the conspiracy of rebellion in the Southern Yunnan Prefecture. If the King of Southern Yunnan is truly colluding with the Kingdom of Nanyue, capture him and bring him back to the capital!"
After a pause, Emperor Defeng slowly added, "If it was a frame-up by a traitor, we should clear his name to demonstrate the impartiality of the court."
Feng Youcai bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise."
Emperor Defeng sat at the desk, silent for a long time.
Is it wise? As people grow older, become deaf and blind, they can no longer see clearly the people around them.
