Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

All the civil and military officials in the court seem to be the emperor's subjects, but in fact they are standing against each other in the court for their own interests and forming cliques for personal gain.

Ye Xuan was previously the head of the civil servants and had many minions under him.

But ever since his trip to the Western Regions, his position as the head of the civil service had been replaced, and most of his subordinates had run away.

In fact, Ye Xuan has always been brooding over this matter and cannot let it go.

The emperor didn't care what he was thinking and was devoted to supporting his confidants.

Ye Xuan noticed the emperor's thoughts. No matter how upset he was, he could only pretend to be calm about the matter.

He has been back for several months and all his men have run away, so naturally he has more time to arrange for his family to leave Luoyang City.

However, as soon as the person he cared about left, Ye Xuan felt very tired, so tired that he wanted to fall down and fall asleep, not wanting to wake up again to face the cold-hearted emperor.

Unfortunately, the queen died at this time, and the emperor suddenly showed his deep love for the queen, and ordered all civil and military officials to keep vigil for the queen for a full 49 days.

Ye Xuan used to be the emperor's confidant, and he knew very well how the emperor felt about the queen.

The emperor had lukewarm feelings towards the queen, and her status in the harem was not even as high as that of Concubine De.

The emperor buried the queen with great ceremony and asked all civil and military officials to guard her spirit for so many days. Ye Xuan felt something was wrong.

He suspected that the emperor was about to take action, so he specifically restrained the people in the mansion, telling them to be careful and alert and not to run outside and bump into others.

The people in his house were law-abiding and nothing happened, but Chen Changli had a lot of problems.

Ye Xuan specially sent people to keep an eye on the general's mansion just in case.

Chen Changli asked him for help. He thought it was about Prince Rong, but he didn't expect that it was a poison that was circulated among the civil and military officials.

He immediately perked up and mobilized all his strength to investigate the matter.

Instead of finding out which high-ranking officials were secretly taking opium, they found out that the national treasury was empty, but the emperor's private treasury was very full.

Ye Xuan immediately suspected that the emperor was using opium to make money. No wonder the emperor was obsessed with Phoenix Gu.

He must have a lot of money in his hands, so he could use it to buy medicinal materials and refine the Phoenix Gu.

It was a pity that he didn't know about the emperor's pursuit of immortality before, otherwise he would have been able to find "opium" through the emperor's well-stocked private vault.

"Lin Jing, we have to find out when 'Afurong' began to appear in the eyes of these people, and when it became a tool for His Majesty to make money. Only in this way can we be invincible when His Majesty is angry."

Countless thoughts flashed through Ye Xuan's mind, and his impression of the emperor became worse and worse.

If he had not been trapped in Luoyang City, he would have resigned and returned home long ago. Why would he stay in Luoyang City in fear?

"You are right." Listening to Ye Xuan's words, countless thoughts flashed through Lin Jing's mind, but none of them could be captured by him.

He immediately reached out and slapped his forehead, saying indignantly, "How come I don't have any ideas about such an important matter?"

"You can go with Lord Ye to find out when 'Afurong' appears, and I will find out who has been taking 'Afurong' for a long time, and then bring them to the palace for His Majesty to have a look."

When Chen Changli said he would bring someone to show the emperor, his eyes couldn't help but be a little vague.

He tracked down people who took opium, but saw with his own eyes several zombies who looked like skeletons.

Because these people were still breathing and were not real skeletons, Chen Changli truly realized how much harm "opium" could bring to people.

He asked Ye Xuan and the other two for help because he thought that once this matter was exposed, it would turn the entire Dajingtian upside down. However, he did not expect Ye Xuan to mention that the emperor's people were using "opium" to make money.

When Chen Changli thought that most of the people he was investigating were trying to make money for the emperor, he felt that this matter was a bit difficult to handle.

However, when he thought of those people who looked like skeletons, Chen Changli felt that he should let the emperor see what changes occur when people take "Opium", so that the emperor would be more vigilant, or take the initiative to destroy "Opium".

"Aren't you afraid that His Majesty will be frightened and then blame you?" Ye Xuan couldn't help but look a little subtle when he heard Chen Changli's bold words.

He only thought about investigating the emperor's people and didn't think of arresting people to scare the emperor, but Chen Changli thought of this. He was too brave.

Ye Xuan didn't dare to think about the emperor's reaction after being frightened, but Chen Changli's words touched his heart and made him very excited.

Touching his beard, Ye Xuan's thoughts kept turning. After a while, he said, "You can do what you want. If His Majesty wants to blame you, Lin Jing and I will find a way to help you."

The matter of 'Ofurong' is urgent. If the emperor has something to do with it, Ye Xuan thinks they can use this opportunity to make the emperor compromise on some things.

"I'll go arrest them right away. My Lords, you guys go and do your work first. If there's anything else, just send someone to the General's Mansion."

When Chen Changli heard Ye Xuan's words, he looked at him deeply, then stood up and left.

He had a lot of things to do. If the matter of 'Opium' was not extremely important and might involve the lives of countless people, he would not have come to see Ye Xuan tonight.

However, when Ye Xuan wanted to investigate the interest links behind "Afurong", he thought of Prince Rong who had been staying in the General's Mansion pretending to be sick.

Before going to arrest people, Chen Changli turned around and went back home and came to the sick Prince Rong.

"Xu Qinglu will be buried tomorrow. I plan to bury her in the suburbs. His Majesty has allowed me to take her coffin out of the city. Is Your Highness Prince Rong willing to go out of the city with me?"

After Chen Changli said this calmly, he suddenly took a step closer to the bed and stared down at Prince Rong.

His gaze was extremely oppressive, and Prince Rong's heart tightened slightly, but his face was fragile and he said, "My body is very dilapidated, and the doctors are at a loss. It's already very good that I can talk to you while lying in bed. How can I go out of the city with you?"

"Your Highness is absolutely right. It is my fault that I did not consider this point. I hope Your Highness will be magnanimous and forgive me." Chen Changli quickly admitted his mistake and did not give Prince Rong any chance at all.

Prince Rong's expression froze slightly, but he looked at Chen Changli with a very strange look.

Then he lowered his eyes as if nothing had happened, and said weakly: "I don't blame you. After all, your wife is also seriously ill. Without her by your side to assist you, and you don't understand medicine, you naturally don't know how bad my physical condition is."

Chen Changli's eyelids moved slightly, and his eyes suddenly contained a gentle look as he said, "Your Highness Prince Rong, how is your health? I have already asked the imperial physician. I know that your health is not good. In addition, I have caused you trouble with Xu Qinglu's matter, so I really hope that you can be healthy."

Without waiting for Prince Rong to speak, Chen Changli continued, "It just so happens that I recently heard about a magical medicine that can make people feel comfortable. If you are interested, I will go buy it early tomorrow morning."

Prince Rong's eyelids jumped when he heard this: "Miracle medicine? Where in the world can there be such a thing?"

Chen Changli locked his eyes on him, not missing the slightest change on his face, "How could it be that he didn't? 'Afurong' has become very famous among the civil and military officials recently!"
