Chapter 253: Stirring up trouble
After the emperor became dependent on this spice, he threw things in the palace every day.
In order to control the emperor, the queen almost burst into a violent mood at this time, and asked the imperial doctor to put countless calming drugs in the decoction every day.
The emperor was only on the dragon's bed, sleeping day by day.
However, in the end, such a situation can be concealed for a while, but not for a lifetime.
In the end, many ministers with relatively high status in the court know that the emperor is now dyed with this messy spice, and he can't quit it, which has already made the ministers quite worried.
Even some of those who had supported Duan Ling before had already offered to let him come out and temporarily preside over the affairs of the court.
When the Thirteen Princes and the King of Joy heard this, they stopped doing it.
finally found such an opportunity, he could wantonly win over his own forces in the court, how could he let go of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Therefore, whenever there is a dispute between the court and the ministers, Duan Ling is used to stir up trouble.
even tired of the previous General Liang An, poor General Liang An, who has been fighting for Da Chu on the battlefield all his life.
Later, he ended up under house arrest.
When Lin Liang thought of this, he felt extremely sorry for General Liang An.
However, he is also actively trying to find a way to investigate the emperor's dependence on this spice.
"If it weren't for the fact that the Palm Incense Bureau received such spices, then someone must have secretly placed them in my father's spices."
Lin Liang mentioned this, and the two glanced at each other.
In this harem, the only ones who can get close to his father's side are the concubines around him.
But it's really impossible to say who it is.
After all, there are many women in the harem of the Emperor of Great Chu today.
Although it is said that the high-ranking ones were by his side when he was the prince, but after several rounds of drafts, the harem was greatly enriched.
To find that person is tantamount to more difficult than ascending to the sky.
However, just when the two of them were at a loss, Concubine Yue suddenly rushed over from the palace.
Now the queen is by the emperor's side every day, just to preserve her reputation and face as the mother of a country.
Therefore, he neglected to discipline the harem, but in addition to the concubine Yue, there were other high-grade concubines in the harem, who were helping the queen deal with the affairs in the harem.
Therefore, although he was quite worried about the emperor's condition, he still didn't mess up in the end.
"Mother, why are you here?"
Seeing the figure outside the study that suddenly appeared, even Duan Ling was startled.
The two hurriedly let Concubine Yue over, because they were in a hurry, and they still wore a cloak on Concubine Yue.
At this moment, Concubine Yue gave the cape and hat to the next, revealing a face with a little pale.
"Your father's affairs, the mother concubine knows something in her heart, so I came to tell you some news."
When Concubine Yue came, she was extremely careful.
Duan Ling hurriedly told Concubine Yue that there were his trusted subordinates beside him, guarding the surroundings, and Lin Liang glanced at his side cautiously.
"Mother, what do you know?"
"I heard that some of the minced spices were taken away, and the concubine guessed that it was you, can you smell it again."
The person who came was Concubine Yue, of course Duan Ling couldn't have any refusal.
At that moment, he picked a small point with a silver needle and put it in the small incense burner.
After igniting it, let the moon concubine smell it.
After all, Dr. Wang also said before that this spice is quite powerful.
Once it is lit too much, people can become dependent on it as long as they smell it more than a few times, so they do not dare to take the slightest risk.
Concubine Yue only sniffed it, and then covered her mouth and nose.
Lin Liang hurriedly picked up a cup of tea on the table and directly extinguished the spice.
"Mother, what do you remember?"
"The concubine remembers that a month ago, when she went to the queen's bedroom to say goodbye, she smelled a concubine who had just entered the palace, and she still smelled of this spice."
"Who is it?" Duan Ling immediately asked.
"Yes...... A newly canonized beauty, but she has only been in the palace for a few months. ”
"What is the origin of this beauty, do you know the concubine?" Now that there is a suspicious candidate, Duan Ling naturally wants to find out this person.
"At that time, it was said that His Majesty only saw that in the imperial garden, in charge of the lotus pond, and saw that the person was beautiful, but the person took the person away, and it didn't take long for her to be canonized as a beauty in the palace, but her identity has not had time to check."
"Mother, quickly give the news of that beauty to Erchen, and let Erchen check it." Duan Ling said anxiously.
Although it is said that the emperor had already ordered him to think about it in the prince's mansion before.
But in the end, he also knew that he was not wrong, only thinking about the matter of General Liang An one day, and after being successfully cleared of grievances, he was able to go out of the prince's mansion generously.
Therefore, I don't want the emperor to have an accident at this juncture.
After all, there are still thirteen princes, and there is also the King of Freedom behind him.
Once he did not have the emperor's strong support at the end, it would not be easy to ascend to that supreme position.
"Ling'er, you have to be careful yourself, you must not smell this spice too much. If you can, you should arrange a more competent doctor by your side. Concubine Yue admonished.
"Mother, don't worry, your sons know it in their hearts."
Concubine Yue was also afraid that she would come out for too long, and when the time came, after being discovered by the queen, she grabbed her handle again.
Therefore, after hurriedly explaining to the two of them, he put on his cloak and rushed towards the direction of the palace under the escort of the palace maid and the guards beside him.
"The background of that beauty, Your Highness is now going to send someone to check it out?" The guard asked.
"Naturally, I want to check it out."
After Duan Ling called his henchmen, he gave such and such an order.
Then, a lot of black figures disappeared from the study.
However, at this moment in the palace, a palace that seems a little quiet, is still lit at this time.
Although the night was already deep, the woman sitting alone by the window was as if she had never noticed it.
The strings in his hand fluctuate slightly, playing one sad tune after another.
"Master, you should rest quickly, today, you have been playing for a long time."
There is a little palace maid beside her to persuade her, but the woman is still bowing her head to you, as if she didn't hear it at all.
The little palace maid reminded her again: "Master, don't you want to rest?" ”
"You go down first." The little palace maid naturally knew that the master who served her family had just been favored by the beauty a few days ago, but her personality was cold and indifferent.
