The Favorite of the Court of Joy

The cold wind said to the weak Zhao Minghan: "My lord, I will help you to rest on a bed in a side room or another courtyard. It is not comfortable for you to sleep here."

"Well, let's go to the side room. Call Xiaocheng in alone to watch for Xiaoqian. Remember to tell her that you don't know anything you see, let alone leak it, otherwise..."

"Yes, my lord, I understand."

Zhao Minghan was lying on the bed, very tired, his mind was swollen and painful, but his thoughts were very clear.He wanted to know what would happen if the news that he was killed, poisoned and unconscious spread throughout the capital?Will the old woman hand over the millennium Ganoderma lucidum?What will old man Li do?What will King Yu do, who is already on his way back to the fiefdom?Did the people from Longquan Villa really participate in this matter?Xi Chu's poison?Is it related to Tangmen?

"Cold wind."

"Subordinates are here."

"Immediately fix a letter and send it to the third young master of the Tang family who is traveling in the south of the Yangtze River, so that he must secretly come to the palace within five days."

"Yes, this subordinate will do it."

To untie the bell, the person who tied it had to be tied. The poison of Chu must naturally be detoxified by the Tang family in Western Chu.This is the fastest and most efficient method.

................................................

In just one night, the news that Prince Regent Ruiqin was murdered and poisoned in a teahouse spread throughout the capital.

Early in the morning, people came and went to discuss this matter.Li Taishi heard such conversations from the people on the street on the way to court.

Who is so bold as to murder the Regent?

The small teahouse provoked someone, because it was blocked.

It seems that the capital city is not very safe either!Have you heard that the person who poisoned him was from Xichu.

Could it be that King Yu secretly brought people from Western Chu to murder Prince Rui?

No, I heard that King Yu was touched by the fief in the northwest because he failed to compete for the throne, and he seemed to hold a grudge.

Hey, stop talking nonsense, we ordinary people just live in peace and contentment.

Yeah yeah.Misfortune comes from the mouth, let's talk less.

Li Taishi in the sedan chair closed his eyes and rested his mind, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Without exception, the most important thing in today's early court was the murder of Prince Rui. The emperor was furious. At the feet of the emperor, the regent was killed. These rebels are too rampant and must be investigated and severely punished.The emperor gave this matter to Jingzhao Mansion and Dali Temple, asking them to find out the culprit who poisoned Prince Rui within ten days.

The emperor also specially invited Physician Jiang to inquire about the specific situation of Zhao Minghan yesterday.Physician Jiang informed the emperor according to what Zhao Minghan said.

"Can the Millennium Ganoderma lucidum revive Nine Emperor Uncle immediately?" the emperor said excitedly.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Then quickly send the Millennium Ganoderma to Prince Rui's Mansion, and make sure to heal Uncle Nine Emperors as soon as possible."

"But the ganoderma lucidum is in the hands of the queen mother." Doctor Jiang showed a very embarrassed expression.

"What, in the hands of the Queen Mother!"

Of course, the emperor knew that it was impossible to ask the Queen Mother to save Jiuhuangshu with Ganoderma lucidum. She wished that Jiuhuangshu would be poisoned to death directly.But Uncle Nine Emperors is his current reliance, he has to ask for mercy, and when necessary, he should steal or steal.

Cining Palace

The empress dowager was listening to the song, feeling very happy, and asked the eunuch to reward the singer several times.

At the door, a eunuch shouted: "The emperor is here!"

Empress Dowager Li knew in her heart that the emperor would come, "You all go down."

"Yes, the Empress Dowager."

After the emperor came in, he respectfully packed his luggage. "My son, please greet the queen mother."

"Why does the emperor have time to come to Ai's house? You are usually busy with things in the previous court at this point."

"After returning to my mother, this son-in-law is here for a big event."

Empress Dowager Li looked surprised and said, "Oh, what's the matter?"

"Yesterday, Uncle Nine Emperors was poisoned in a teahouse, and he is still unconscious."

"What? Prince Rui was poisoned?" Empress Dowager Li was very surprised, as if hearing this news for the first time, she was very shocked. "Who is so bold to murder the regent of our Dongyue Kingdom? Your Majesty, you must investigate this matter strictly."

"Mother, don't worry, I have already ordered people from Jingzhao Mansion and Dali Temple to investigate this matter strictly, and they must investigate it within ten days."

"That's fine, that's fine."

"Empress, I heard from Imperial Physician Jiang that the thousand-year-old ganoderma can save Jiu Huangshu, but the thousand-year-old ganoderma is here with you."

"There is indeed such a thing. Chun'er, hurry up and bring the millennium ganoderma to the emperor." Queen Mother Li gave Chun'er a key.

The emperor was surprised that the queen mother was so kind and straightforward. "My son first thanked the queen mother for the kindness of uncle Jiuhuang."

"Thank you, it's all from my family."

The emperor took an exquisite box, opened it to confirm that there was indeed a Ganoderma lucidum lying in it, and only wanted to rush to Prince Rui's mansion immediately.

"Your Majesty, look at what happened after Li..."

The emperor was most troubled by Empress Dowager Li talking about this matter, so he immediately interjected, saying: "Mother, at this moment, the life and death of Uncle Nine Emperors is unknown, and the sons and ministers have no intention of choosing a concubine. I hope my mother can understand."

"Of course the queen mother understands." Empress Dowager Li smiled and said, "You can postpone the selection of concubines after the establishment of the queen, but the emperor, the heirs are important. You are seventeen, and you will be in charge next year. There are two princesses behind you, and it's just a beautiful life." Yes. Qualified show girls have also entered the palace, you should go around more. Do you understand the meaning of Aijia?"

"My son understands. My son will visit Uncle Nine Emperors first before talking about this matter. My son will leave first."

The emperor left in a hurry, not wanting to talk about these troublesome things.

On the day of Empress Dowager Li's birthday banquet, she really mentioned the matter of becoming a queen, and those courtiers who supported the Li family also continued to second the matter.The emperor postponed the matter by taking advantage of the three-year draft. The choice of the queen should not only be noble, but also virtuous and generous, civilized and obedient, with both talent and appearance.Although Concubine Li Guifei was born noble and beautiful, she was jealous, so there were some people in the court who opposed her being a queen, especially those from the family of the deceased Queen Meng, who was the Prime Minister You.It is impossible for Taishi Li's party to support someone from Prime Minister Meng's party as the queen.Therefore, the emperor suggested that no matter who is currently in the palace, or a show girl participating in the draft, after the consideration of the emperor and the queen mother, all have the opportunity to become the queen.As soon as the emperor's words came out, the dispute between the two factions who dared to establish a queen was quelled.Therefore, many of the show girls are daughters of the two parties.

The emperor left the palace and hurried to Prince Rui's mansion.

Today, many courtiers came to visit Zhao Minghan after the court, some sincerely, some falsely, and some wished for his death.All these people were turned away, and Doctor Jiang said that the prince should not be disturbed at this moment, nor could he watch.

"Physician Jiang, is Uncle Nine Emperors really that serious? I can't even take a look if I want to!" The emperor's tone was full of anxiety.

"Go back to the emperor, the prince is too poisoned, although you can't go to the master bedroom to take a look, but you can go to the side room to take a look from afar."

"Okay then. This is the millennium Ganoderma lucidum that I asked for from the Queen Mother. Quickly prescribe it and boil it for Uncle Nine Emperors to drink." The emperor took out the box and handed it to Doctor Jiang.

Physician Jiang opened the box, was startled, closed it again, and said to the emperor: "The emperor came to the side room with my minister."

When the emperor came to the side room, he saw a person sitting on a chair with his back facing him. This familiar back made him feel excited.

"Nine... Nine... Uncle Nine Emperors." It took a long time to say a title.

Zhao Minghan turned around and smiled at him.

The emperor was pleasantly surprised: "It's really you, you are not poisoned, that's great."

"Shh... be quiet."

The emperor walked up to him and sat down, full of doubts, and asked, "What's the matter with Uncle Nine Emperors? It's been spread all over the capital that you were killed and poisoned last night. Doctor Jiang also told me that you were so comatose that you couldn't see anyone. Why do I see the Nine Emperor Uncles who are alive and well?"

"Have a cup of tea first, and then I will tell you slowly."

Zhao Minghan explained, "It is true that my king was poisoned last night by someone, but it was only mild, and he has recovered now. The person who was most poisoned and unconscious was one of my favorite men."

The emperor suddenly realized that his uncle Nine Emperors was setting up a game. "Since it wasn't you who was poisoned and unconscious, Uncle Nine Emperors, why did you set up such a trap? What did you find out? I heard that you were poisoned by Xi Chu."

Zhao Minghan smiled lightly, his good nephew is really a child to teach, he didn't need to say anything, he understood. "Good nephew, just say what you want to say or have any questions."

"Uncle Jiuhuang, you deliberately spread the news that you were poisoned and unconscious." The emperor said what was in his heart. "It's said that Uncle Huang is one of Xichu's. Everyone will think that Uncle Erhuang is at odds with you and wants to assassinate you. In fact, Uncle Erhuang did not do it, or the mastermind is not him."

"Then who do you think is the mastermind?"

"Obviously!"

The uncle and nephew looked at each other and smiled, the answer was in their hearts.

"Although our guesses are the same, but everything needs to be based on evidence, the old fox is not so easily tripped."

"I understand."

"By the way, Uncle Nine Emperors, since you haven't been poisoned and unconscious, why do you still need the thousand-year-old ganoderma? I thought it would take a long time to get the queen mother to hand over the thousand-year-old ganoderma, but I didn't expect her to give it to me very simply. Zhen." The emperor raised a new question and said, "After thinking about it, I always feel that there is something tricky."

"I don't believe that the old woman has such a kind heart." Zhao Minghan knew that the brothers and sisters of the Li family who wanted to die the most. "Doctor Jiang, please see if there is anything wrong with the Ganoderma lucidum?"

"Weichen is about to talk about this matter." Doctor Jiang opened the box, pointed to the ganoderma inside and said, "Return to the emperor, my lord, this millennium ganoderma is fake, at most it is two or three hundred years old ganoderma."

The emperor was furious and said, "What, how dare she fool me."

Zhao Minghan drank tea, smiled slightly and said: "This is the vicious woman Li Ehuang that this king knows. She will not give it or give a fake one, it is something that this king can expect." Li Ehuang is the Queen Mother Li real name. "You have to calm down, Yunxuan."

"I understand." The emperor took a deep breath, and then said, "Fortunately, Uncle Nine Emperors is fine, and you don't need to use this thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum. But, why do you have to use this thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, Uncle Nine Emperors? The male pet who was really poisoned and unconscious?"

Zhao Minghan nodded with certainty.
