In the palace, the light in the imperial study was always on, and the eunuchs stood respectfully on the side, even breathing carefully, and the people who made them in awe were frowning, sitting behind the table, holding a fold in their hands.

Boom.

The emperor angrily threw the fold to the ground, his chest rose and fell, and the eunuch hurriedly brought the chrysanthemum tea to him, and was kicked to the ground by the emperor.

The eunuchs' backs were wet with sweat, and they didn't know why the emperor was angry, so they could only kneel on the ground together, trembling.

The emperor sneered and said, "Okay, okay, I haven't died yet, they have been staring at my throne and colluding with the ministers, it seems that they really want me to die!" ”

The eunuchs' hearts trembled, and the emperor was really angry when he said this. I don't know which prince made him unhappy, but they also remember to take care of their mouth, there are some things that they hear, but they can't say it.

The emperor waved his hand and sent his subordinates back, and the eunuchs left the imperial study with palpitations, only to feel that the air outside was very fresh.

The emperor collapsed in his chair tiredly, he looked down at the bright imperial robe, which was also something he had been madly pursuing, and when the power was in his hands, he was the master of this world, and he was respected by everyone, but he also lost a lot of things.

Where did his sons, who had come down the same path and colluded with ministers, just to replace him as the next emperor and his brother and friend Gong who had been handed over to them when he was a child?

The Emperor sighed. His body bent a lot at once.

Outside the door, Concubine Li came over with supplements, and when she saw that the eunuchs were guarding the door, she stepped forward and asked, "The emperor is in a bad mood today?" ”

The eunuchs said to Concubine Li as if they had seen a savior, "Isn't it, the emperor has been watching the excerpts for the past few days, and he hasn't rested for long. ”

"Then the palace will go in." Concubine Li came to the imperial study, never used simultaneous interpretation, saw the emperor lying on the chair, lightly put down the supplement, walked to the emperor's side, stretched out her slender fingers, and gently rubbed her temples?

"You're here." The emperor said without opening his eyes, "I have a terrible headache these days, so give me a quick rub." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Concubine Li smiled slightly, and continued to rub his eyebrows, and for a while, the emperor's heart was much less bored.

Concubine Li is always like this, she will not be like other concubines, opening her mouth and closing her mouth is to let the prince solve problems for him, as long as she is by his side well, the emperor's mood will improve.

Thinking of the people who accompanied him, the emperor's mood couldn't help but be a little low. Queen...... This woman who has been with him for many years did not hesitate to hurt him for the sake of the throne, and the poison was tested by him that time, I don't know what else the queen will do?

For the sake of his good son, the queen is really ruthless! The emperor took Concubine Li's hand, he was old and became sentimental, and said, "Now that I think about it, among these sons...... Only the three princes are the most reassuring to me. ”

Concubine Li's heart jumped, she didn't understand whether the emperor was tempted or sure, and said vaguely, "The third prince has always been filial. ”

The emperor nodded and said affirmatively, "That's right, the third prince has always been filial, down-to-earth, and knows how to be flexible. "In contrast, the eldest prince prefers to take shortcuts and use some unseen methods to achieve success.

Concubine Li smiled slightly, and did not answer, if she followed the emperor's words, maybe the emperor would be more worried, she picked up the tonic on the table, and said, "Recently, the emperor has always slept not very peacefully, you might as well drink a little of this, it is the recipe that the concubine went to ask the imperial doctor." ”

She would send a bowl of tonic every night, and the emperor would drink it.

The emperor took a sip, nodded and said, "I've worked hard for you in the past few days, and I have sent supplements to me every noon and night, but recently the state affairs have been busy, and I don't have time to go to the harem to see you. ”

Concubine Li was a little puzzled, she used to send things to the emperor every night, why did the emperor say that she also sent them at noon? Concubine Li didn't make it clear to the emperor, put her doubts in her heart, hurriedly returned to the palace, her face was solemn, and she said to the palace maid, "Go and invite the third prince into the palace." ”

In particular, she explained, "Don't let anyone else know. "Recently, it is a special period, the emperor is suspicious, even if the emperor favors her, Concubine Li can't be caught.

At night, the third prince and An Shuangchi came.

"The concubine let us enter the palace so late, but what's the big deal?" The third prince said worriedly.

"Frost is late, you came just in time, this palace has something to tell you." Concubine Li said solemnly, "I have seen that the emperor's face is not very good these days, and I go to send supplements to the emperor every night, but today the palace heard the emperor say that the palace also sent someone to send it at noon, and the palace knew in my heart that the person who sent the tonic at noon was not me." ”

She said what was in her heart and said, "This palace suspects that someone is using me, and this is an extraordinary time, so you have to be careful in everything, so I will send someone to invite you in to discuss with you." ”

An Shuangchi nodded, Concubine Li's approach, he agreed, and said his thoughts, "Now you have to be careful in everything, since you know that someone has borrowed Concubine Li's name, you can't help but take it to heart, the people behind this scene have to find out, but don't startle the snake." ”

"Since she has to send supplements to her father at noon every day, then we will wait for the rabbit." The third prince said in a deep voice.

"That's right." An Shuangchi nodded, Concubine Li also agreed, she had a way in her heart, but asked, "Who do you think did this?" ”

"It's possible for everyone with ambitions." An Shuangchi said, "And most likely, the queen?" ”

"She also poisoned the emperor last time." Concubine Li can sit on the throne of the concubine, naturally it is not simple, she said, "If you poison her again this time, the emperor will definitely not be able to spare her, how dare she?" ”

An Shuangchi chuckled, and he said, "Then what if she succeeds?" ”

Concubine Li was silent, if the queen succeeds and the eldest prince ascends the throne, no one will account for this kind of thing, and no one will investigate it if the emperor has a stubborn illness.

"Whether it is the queen or not, the person who poisoned this time is still a little clever and knows how to borrow the hands of others. Concubine Li, you have to be careful in the palace. An Shuangchi said.

"I see." Concubine Li nodded, kept this matter in mind, and on the second day, she asked the reassuring palace maid to look at the state in front of the imperial study.

Sure enough, at noon, the palace maid saw another palace maid who was unfamiliar with her, walking towards the imperial study with a bowl of decoction, and the palace maid heard her say to the eunuch, "Concubine Li asked the slave maid to send the tonic over." ”

The eunuch took the tonic with a smile, and said in a soft voice, "The emperor is waiting for Concubine Li's decoction, give it to our family." Let's take it in. ”

"Then thank you, father-in-law." The palace maid handed the tonic to the eunuch and turned to leave.

Concubine Li's palace maid was very angry when she saw it, and immediately ran back to the palace, and said to Concubine Li, "Niangniang, the slave maid has seen it, that person is not from our palace, and he sent something to the emperor in your name. ”

"Hongu knows." Concubine Li nodded and said, "You continue to pay attention to it at noon every day, don't startle the snake." ”

The palace maid nodded in response, and went to the front of the imperial study at noon on the second day, this time, she quietly followed behind another palace maid, only to see the person turn left and right, look behind him cautiously, spare most of the way, and enter through the side door of the queen's palace.

The palace maid immediately ran back to Concubine Li's palace, "Niangniang, the slave knows who is pretending to be your identity!" ”

"Who is it?" Concubine Li asked.

"The Queen." The palace maid said affirmatively, "The slave maid saw that the man went back to the queen's palace. ”

"Hongu knows." Concubine Li waved her hand to let the palace maid retreat, she rubbed her eyebrows, sure enough, it was the queen mother, what was the purpose of her pretending to send supplements with her hand?

To frame her? Concubine Li didn't know, but she knew that she couldn't sit still. After tidying up his makeup, he continued to send supplements to the emperor.

At noon the next day, she said lazily, "Are you sure she is the soup that she is going to deliver now?" ”

"Slave is sure." The palace maid nodded, Concubine Li touched her slender fingers, hooked the corners of her mouth, and said with a smile, "Then in that case, this palace will also send something to the emperor at noon." ”

She held the decoction in her hand and went straight to the imperial study, and the eunuch saw it and hurriedly stepped forward to greet her, "Niangniang sent supplements to the emperor at noon today?" ”

Concubine Li pretended to be surprised and said, "This palace has always sent supplements to the emperor at night, and this supplement does not want to borrow the hands of others, every time it is sent by this palace in person, but I don't remember that this palace has sent supplements at noon." ”

The eunuch's brow furrowed, "But ......"

"The soup brought by the palace is almost cold, go in first and give it to the emperor to eat." Concubine Li smiled dignifiedly, leaving the eunuch in place and puzzled.

"You're here." The emperor heard the movement outside, looked at Concubine Li's soft gaze, and said, "It's too hot at noon, you better let the palace maid send it to me." ”

"This is a concubine's heart." Concubine Li smiled and said, "But the concubine thinks it's a little weird?" ”

The emperor was stunned when he drank the soup, and said suspiciously, "Oh? ”

Concubine Li said with a smile, "The concubine knows that this tonic is beneficial to people's bodies, but it can't be a big supplement, so she plans to send the tonic to the emperor every night, yesterday I saw that the emperor was a little tired, and I had a bowl of pigeon soup at noon, but I didn't expect the father-in-law at the door to say that the concubine would let people send this product over at noon every day......

The emperor understood, his eyes were faint, and he saw Concubine Li's heart fluttering and beating, the imperial study was very quiet, and the voice of the palace maid came from outside the door, "Concubine Li asked the slave maid to send the emperor a decoction." ”

The party, Concubine Li, said that she didn't know anything.
