On the wedding night, the substitute princess cured the war king's poison

"It was the Regent who helped our Lord, but..." Guizhi shook her head and blinked her eyes, pretending to be unfamiliar, "I really have never seen you before."

"You are lying against your conscience. Do you dare to swear?" Ling Zhao took another step closer, his face furious.

"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Guizhi bent down and slipped away from him.

Without even turning his head, he ran back to the mansion.

Of course she didn't dare to swear, because she would be struck by lightning if she lied.

I can’t reveal my identity, the lady will be unhappy.

Ling Zhao had already found out the result, so he naturally didn't chase her. He smiled slightly and quickly returned to the palace to report the situation.

At this time, Li Yi had already come out of the palace and was chatting with the concubine in the Buddhist hall about the details of his visit to the palace.

"Your Majesty's temperament is indeed abnormal, he is disrespectful to the Queen Mother and speaks rudely, but he recognized me, knelt down to me as soon as we met, and called me master, which is really unbelievable."

Li Yi said very puzzled.

The emperor was in a coma for fifteen years, during which time they never met again.

When they met today, the emperor bowed to him devoutly, as if...

When a dog meets its owner, it usually wags its tail respectfully to please him.

Although he is the emperor's uncle, there is still a difference between the emperor and his subjects.

"Could it be..." The concubine was also quite surprised when she heard this.

She suspected that the emperor had been possessed.

Li Yi had other guesses, "Could it be hysteria?"

The concubine did not think that the emperor was sick.

Her own son also experienced a soul-swapping experience and was brought back to life, and his temperament changed drastically, but over the years, the mother and son were so loving and filial, and they lived in harmony, and gradually forgot about it.

"Amitabha." The concubine immediately knelt on the cushion, reverently bowed three times to the Buddha statue, and recited a few verses of scriptures, praying for the Buddha's blessing.

Li Yi just watched her worshipping Buddha calmly but did not follow her lead.

Although he occasionally followed his mother in reciting scriptures, it was only out of filial piety and he did not believe in Buddhism in his heart.

It's just that outsiders think he is devoted to Buddhism.

The Buddhist beads hanging on his wrist were used by his mother to remind him to be celibate and patient.

Even today's adventure would not make him feel awe for the gods.

The concubine stood up after bowing and said slowly:

"No wonder the Queen Mother ordered the Eighth Prince to come to the capital. She probably wants to change the emperor."

After saying this, he sighed softly, "If this bizarre thing were known to the world, not only would the neighboring countries be wary and take advantage of the opportunity to invade, but the people would also cause trouble."

Li Yi nodded, "The Queen Mother wanted to choose a crown prince from among the eight princes because she was a little worried that she could not control the emperor, so she agreed to appoint me as the regent."

"I was not involved in the game, but I agreed to do it because I was afraid that the world would be in chaos and the people would suffer."

"When the political situation changes, it is indeed your duty as a member of the royal family to stabilize the country." The concubine also instructed, "Even so, you must also be wary of the queen mother plotting against you. She is wary of everyone."

When she was young, the empress dowager was a noble concubine. She got the imperial edict before her to help the young emperor ascend the throne, so she became the empress dowager, while she was the concubine dowager.

She has been feeling resentful all these years because she has many regrets.

"Don't worry, mother. I know what's going on."

After Li Yi finished talking with his mother and left the Buddhist temple, he saw two guards standing in the corridor chatting happily. He coughed lightly and asked, "What's going on?"

Xie Huai immediately reported: "Reporting to the Regent King, the Eighth Prince invited each other to the Zuixian Pavilion to drink after leaving the palace, and there is no trouble for the time being."

Li Yi looked at Ling Zhao, "What about you?"

"Reporting to the Regent, the entire Ning Mansion was overjoyed after receiving the imperial edict, and they even sent someone to the Pei Mansion to inform them of the good news."

After Ling Zhao finished talking about the main business, he said: "I have discovered a big secret of Ning Mansion."

Li Yi's heart moved, "Speak."

"I discovered that the servant accompanying Doctor Luo today was actually a woman, and she came from the Marquis's Mansion."

Ling Zhao expressed his guess, "I suspect that Doctor Luo is the daughter of the Ning Mansion. She is a woman disguised as a man to practice medicine."

"Do you have any evidence?" Li Yi's heart was filled with waves.

"It's all speculation at the moment, but next time we meet them, we can try to find out." Ling Zhao said confidently, "I am 80% sure of their identities."

"If she is a woman, it won't affect her medical skills." Li Yi changed the subject and said, "Please ask Doctor Luo to come and see the concubine tomorrow."

"Yes." Ling Zhao responded respectfully.

I didn't expect that the prince was not happy because Doctor Luo was a woman. It seems that the prince still likes Doctor Luo because he is a man.
