The young eunuch followed him closely.

Gu Shaoyu picked up the cup and put it to his mouth, his Adam's apple rolling up and down. He "drank" the tea, handed the empty cup to the eunuch, and hurriedly entered the side hall with the commander of the Imperial City Division.

Leng Luo shrugged his nose and asked, "Master Gu, what did you take?"

Gu Shaoyu spread out his sleeves, and Leng Luo smelled it immediately. It was called Acacia Powder, mixed with fragrant tea, with a very light fruity aroma.

Leng Luo has a dog's nose, and because of his job requirements, he is extremely sensitive to smells. This kind of drug may not be easy to detect for ordinary people, but for the people in the Imperial City Bureau, this is the simplest smell identification in professional training.

"This medicine is called Acacia Powder. It will take effect in two quarters of an hour after taking it, and will reach its peak effect within half an hour. Not having sex with women will be detrimental to your health."

Gu Shaoyu nodded, came out of the side hall, and said to Nanxing: "Go back to Qingpu Courtyard quickly, take the lady to the palace, and tell her that I am cold."

Nanxing blinked. Did he hear it right? The elder said he was cold?

"Go quickly."

"Oh, yes!" Nanxing ran to Qingpu Courtyard. When he got to the yard, he saw his wife feeding Jiaofeng under the corridor.

"Madam, the elder wants you to enter the palace."

"The Lord hasn't left the court yet?" Xie Zhaozhao asked, "Did he tell me what to do in the palace?"

Nanxing actually had no idea what the elder wanted to do, so she said, "The elder said he was cold."

"Oh, nothing else?"

"No, I can't enter the palace. Just now, the elder came out and told me that he was cold and asked me to take you into the palace as soon as possible."

Xie Zhaozhao picked apart every word he said, thought for a moment, and said to Yuanyuan, "Take the old man's cloak with you."

After thinking about it, he put on a new set of court robes.

She handed a sign to Concubine Xi's Xingning Palace, and went to Xingning Palace first with Gu Shaoyu's clothes.

When we arrived at Concubine Xi's palace, we found out that Emperor Hui had vomited blood.

However, Concubine Xi did not know what the condition of Emperor Hui was, because none of the imperial doctors who had been summoned had come out yet.

After receiving Leng Luo's reminder that "the effect will be seen in two quarters of an hour", Gu Shaoyu kept time and "fell ill" at exactly two quarters of an hour.

From time to time, he frowned slightly and tapped his head lightly with his fist.

Wei Shi Ning, the eldest grandson of Duke Cheng En, was beside Gu Shao Yu. Seeing him knocking his head, he supported him and said softly, "Are you too tired, Lord? Why don't you go and take a rest?"

Gu Shaoyu turned to look at him, wanting to refuse, but his mind seemed to be distracted and his eyes had difficulty focusing. He stood up and followed Wei Shining, with 30% of his body weight leaning on him.

Wei Shining supported him and walked around His Majesty's bedroom to the secluded Qingyuan Palace at the back.

Princess Yurong was already waiting in Qingyuan Palace, and the maidservants beside her were staring at Gu Shaoyu from a distance.

Seeing Wei Shining and Gu Shaoyu walking towards Qingyuan Palace from afar, the maid hurriedly reported to Princess Yurong.

Princess Yurong asked the maids and guards to step aside first, and agreed to use the breaking of the cup as a signal, and then brought people in.

The maid and guards went out. Princess Yurong pinched her waist, hummed a few times, and drank the tea in the cup in one gulp.

Gu Shaoyu, I will sacrifice my reputation and drag you down with me.

If my father passes this test today, and you rape me in the palace, you will either marry me or have your property confiscated and beheaded.

The imperial court? Forget it in this life.

If father can't pass this test and brother the Crown Prince ascends the throne, you will only be fit to be one of my concubines!

Wei Shining took Gu Shaoyu all the way to Qingyuan Palace, looking left and right along the way. Gu Shaoyu became more and more silent, and seemed to be finding it increasingly difficult to endure, and finally he was staggering.

Wei Shining sneered in his heart, Gu Shaoyu, we will never see each other in the court again.

Who told you to refuse to support the prince and always help His Majesty to sabotage our big plan?

But the more he walked, the more he felt something was wrong. Why did he feel dizzy and hot in his stomach? There was a place that he couldn't control, and it was like a tent.

Both he and Gu Shaoyu seemed to be staggering. He let go of Gu Shaoyu and held on to the wall.

I don't know when Gu Shaoyu disappeared. I only saw a woman in front of me with a smile as beautiful as a flower, saying delicately: "Master Wei, come here!"

He just wanted to catch that woman. Every word she said was like a demon demanding her life, and he couldn't help but chase after her.

The woman took him all the way to Qingyuan Palace. Wei Shining was already in a daze, and a woman pounced on him even more eagerly than he was.

Soon, there was a "bang" sound of a cup being smashed. Princess Yurong's personal guards and maids hurried to the front yard, crying and shouting, "Oh no, something's happened to the princess."

The queen's face darkened and she said in a low voice: "Shut up, Your Majesty is recovering from illness, why are you making so much noise?"

The maidservant took a few steps forward and whispered something. The queen's face fell and she looked angry.

He said to several guards, "How can this be possible? Lord Gu is young and looks very steady. His Majesty is seriously ill, but he is so impatient and resorts to despicable means?"

Concubine De, Concubine Xian, and the Queen were originally staring at each other, but when they heard this, they knew it was related to Gu Shaoyu.

What do you mean? What did Gu Shaoyu do?

Why are your eyelids twitching?

Concubine De and Concubine Xian looked at each other and said, "Go and take a look?"

Let’s go and have a look!!

What the Queen wants is for everyone to go and see.

As soon as they left, Gu Shaoyu, Xie Zhaozhao and Concubine Xi came out from the side hall next to His Majesty's bedroom.

He changed into new court robes inside and put on a cloak outside.

The man is handsome and has an imposing manner, while the woman is elegant and graceful. They are truly a perfect match.

Leng Luo hurried towards him.

"Mr. Gu, I have something to discuss with you."

It turned out that less than half an hour after several high-priced rice shops opened, a place in the suburbs also started distributing grain.

The same new grain costs only 150 wen per catty.

"It's not a show. How come there are tens of thousands of dan of grain? Those people went to Jingzhao Yin and asked him to send troops to protect them. They said they were afraid of being killed by others if they sold the grain at a low price." Leng Luo said, "Lord, how do you think we should deal with this?"

Gu Shaoyu made a prompt decision and said, "This is a great thing. Even Jingzhao Yin cannot afford this credit. You people from the Imperial City Department should take over immediately. You don't need too many people, just a few dozen will be enough."

Leng Luo immediately understood that this credit could not be attributed to the Jingzhao Yin.

They must be captured by people from the Imperial City Bureau.

Lowering food prices is definitely a great achievement.

He immediately bowed deeply to Gu Shaoyu and ordered his deputy: "Take 30 people with good kung fu and tell them to keep their eyes open. There must not be any mistakes."

Gu Shaoyu pointed at him and said, "Commander Leng, go there in person and keep me updated on the prices of the rice shops."

Leng Luo nodded immediately: "Yes."

After the people from the Imperial City Bureau left, Gu Shaoyu did not return to wait outside Emperor Hui's bedroom, but sat on the steps outside the palace thinking about something.

Lord Cheng En came over and asked, "What did Leng Luo and the others say?"

Gu Shaoyu: "His Majesty requested that his private treasury be opened to provide relief to the people, and that the Imperial City Department be sent to guard it."

"Private storehouse? Where does your Majesty have a private storehouse?" Duke Cheng'en realized that he had said something wrong, smiled, and changed the subject, "Your Majesty has grain, why are you taking it out now? The price is so high."

Gu Shaoyu also laughed and said, "I didn't know that His Majesty still hid the food."

Duke Cheng'en was a little panicked. His Majesty still had food hidden? How much?

But he couldn't ask any more questions, as too much talk would lead to mistakes.

Especially the young man in front of him, he is not an ordinary official.

Not only does he not belong to any faction, he only listens to the emperor. He is cunning and can be easily tricked.

At this time, the eunuchs who were standing in front of Concubine De and Concubine Xian in the Qingyuan Palace came running and reported to Minister Liu, Minister Gu, and Minister Pingzhang, "The military official Wei Shining raped Princess Yurong and was caught by the Empress, Concubine De, and Concubine Xian."

When these words were spoken, Elder Liu was so angry that he cursed "shameless"!
