Thousands of times

Not only Gao Qinglan was paying attention to this Shengshou, Zhou, Chen, Ning and so on were also very nervous.This time the emperor fell ill, which was the opportunity for the prince to fall out of favor.Otherwise, under the stable status of the prince, all plans would be in vain.

At the same time, Gao Qinglan has noticed that the Sixth Prince often has a... similar smell recently?

Hmm...has the Ning family invented any dim sum recently?

Gao Qinglan doesn't care about these things, all she has to do is to let the prince ascend the throne smoothly this time.If the sixth prince is really enthroned, then his fortune will be closely related to the fate of the Yan Dynasty, and the entanglement in it will definitely make Gao Qinglan scratch a handful of hair.

While all parties were nervously waiting, Gao Qinglan learned an unexpected and expected news from her unique news channel.

According to the gossip circulating in the righteous schools of the Gao family, which is nearly a quarter of the country, there are a few alchemists who have been favored by the nobles, and they will enter the palace around the holy birthday. You can be named a national teacher.

Gao Qinglan will notice this news because those alchemists were originally masters of a certain free school, and alchemy has cost a lot of money, so they applied to be tutors for ordinary people in Gao's free school, and they did not receive money. Just for three meals and one night.As for why they were suddenly valued by the emperor... It is said that it was because of a noble person's recommendation.

This nobleman had a high status, and the alchemists were grateful to the Gao family for their help before resigning. Before resigning, they half-disclosed their whereabouts, and said that if they had the opportunity in the future, they would definitely help the Gao family to make more good words in front of the emperor.

Of course the Gao family refused, just because the emperor who was addicted to alchemy never had a good death in history, so the Gao family specially disclosed this news to Gao Qinglan, meaning to let Gao Qinglan tell the sixth prince.It's not that the Gao family thinks those alchemists are liars, it's just that they don't think that their words are strange, their powers are confusing, and their indulging in alchemy is not good for state affairs.

Naturally, it is impossible to find a descendant to pass on such secrets related to the royal family, so Gao Jin, the eldest brother of the Gao family, came to tell her directly.

"Brother, do you know who this nobleman who recommended the alchemist to the emperor is?" Gao Qinglan thought for a long time after hearing Gao Jin's words, and then raised her head to ask.

"The fact that they are willing to share this sentence with us is already friendship. How can they explain it in detail?" Gao Jin shook his head.

"It's not that I'm overthinking... I always feel that this matter is not simple." Gao Qinglan frowned.

Generally speaking, the reason why alchemy is not safe is because the ancient alchemists used some heavy metal raw materials to make alchemy.Eating those things may have some refreshing effect for a while, but basically it is heavy metal poisoning. Over the years, the death is often not very beautiful, and some even affect a person's temperament and intelligence.And those unsuccessful alchemists were so pitiful that they needed to rely on righteous learning to find a place to stay. How could they just happen to be favored by nobles and recommended to the emperor?

Combined with the original plot trend of this world, this pill formula caused the emperor to have a stroke after taking a pill.

Even if it is really heavy metal poisoning, there is no reason to have a stroke after taking just one pill.The human body is very fragile and strong. If it is not accumulated to a certain extent, heavy metals will not be so easy to show symptoms.Otherwise, where did so many emperors who were addicted to alchemy come from?

"Do you think that someone deliberately found those alchemists?" Gao Jin was not stupid, Gao Jinlan just mentioned it a little, and he turned the corner.

"Brother, think about it, if something goes wrong if the emperor takes the pills of these alchemists, let alone those alchemists can't survive, what will happen to the Gao family who are somewhat related to them? The reputation of the sixth prince and concubine is at stake, so what will happen to the sixth prince? In the end, who will benefit?"

"If something happens to the emperor, the crown prince will benefit the most, but if the emperor is safe and sound, then both the crown prince and the sixth prince will be in trouble at the same time..." Gao Jin said with a frown.After all, only after the emperor faced a serious illness can he really feel that the prince is the one who will replace all of him in the future.As long as he has mastered the authority of being an emperor, how can anyone have the heart to say no to it?If the emperor was really in a critical condition and recovered, no matter how the prince behaved, the emperor would probably not look at him pleasingly.

As for the Gao family and the sixth prince who had a relationship with the alchemist, it would be too quick to seek death.

Thinking of this, Gao Jin clenched his fist tightly, his face turned pale.

"Should...not be the case, right? If it's just for this one time? If something goes wrong in the future, it won't be on us?" Gao Jin said hesitantly.

"It is logically impossible, so this "noble person" who introduced them is extremely important." Gao Qinglan said: "If someone has ulterior motives, then this is probably a clear trap, and we can't object yet." Objected Doesn't it mean that the Gao family is really tricky?And even ran to inquire about the emperor's privacy?Do you want to die, do you want to die, or do you want to die?

Having said this, Gao Qinglan and Gao Jin fell silent.

"No, I can't just wait like this." Gao Jin stood up abruptly and said, "I'll go tell daddy right now, I think daddy will have a solution."

"Brother, calm down, think about it first, if something happens to both the crown prince and the sixth prince, who will benefit the most?" Gao Qinglan asked Gao Jin's sleeve.

"Who else could it be? Isn't it..." Gao Jin said while comparing his fingers.

The second prince, like the crown prince, is the son of the empress Yuan, and besides the crown prince, he is the most expensive.If the crown prince and the sixth prince fall from the horse at the same time, the second prince, who is usually low-key and well-behaved, will definitely come out on top.The group of nobles who were close to the Gao family were hit by this blow, and their strength would have been greatly reduced, and they had to keep a low profile for a while without hurting their bones.At the same time, the imperial power will also increase... Wait, the imperial power will increase?

"Brother, tell me, does this mean...?" Gao Qinglan pointed her finger at the sky.

Swallowing elixir, pretending to be seriously ill, in order to attack the increasingly monolithic civil servants and Qingliu, and at the same time suppress the adult prince who is ready to move, and once again firmly grasp the power in the palm of his hand... In fact, it is quite in line with the general plan of this talented man the Emperor.

Gao Qinglan feels more and more possible as she enjoys it.Perhaps the elixir was really tampered with, but in the original plot, the timing of the emperor's waking up was too coincidental. It is very likely that the emperor had already woken up, or it was not as serious as imagined.Or maybe taking pills is a chronic poison, so the emperor resorted to tricks to see who couldn't bear it...

"Then why are you targeting my Gao family?" Before Gao Jin could finish asking, he fell silent again.The Gao family is very popular in Qingliu. Although the family's status in the officialdom is not high, it is still a very important family.

If it was really the emperor's handwriting, maybe the Gao family would not be exterminated, but it is very possible to suppress him, warn him, or even curb his communication with Qingliu.

So now, there are three possibilities for the person behind the scenes. If the emperor does not wake up after taking the elixir, the prince is the most proud, so the prince is probably behind the scenes; but if the emperor wakes up after taking the elixir, then the most proud person It may be the second prince, so the person behind the scenes may be the second prince; but in the original plot, it is the sixth prince who benefits, and it cannot be ruled out that the sixth prince finds these alchemists, then plays a show, and then uses "filial piety" , "Piety" and other titles to wake up the emperor.In this way, the emperor may suppress the Gao family a little, but the sixth prince can indeed win the impression points in the emperor's heart, so it is very likely that the sixth prince is behind the scenes.

Thinking of this, Gao Qinglan really wanted to slap herself.

Sure enough, you still can't be too superstitious about the plot.The plot looks like that, who knows what the real details are in private?

Gao Jin's eyebrows furrowed tighter and tighter. Conspiracy theories are like this. If you don't want to be fine, the more you think about it, the more troublesome things will become. If you think about it carefully, it's possible for anyone.

At the same time, Gao Qinglan's mind flashed: I remembered!

The smell that is familiar to the Sixth Prince recently...isn't it the smell of sulfur?Why is there a sulfur smell?A common raw material in alchemy!

This matter must have something to do with the sixth prince!

But... recommended by the sixth prince?Not necessarily, the sixth prince would not give himself such a bright handle.Gao Qinglan believes that in terms of the sixth prince's usual habits of life, he must hide himself behind the scenes and play the role of the big boss behind the scenes. After everything happens, he will appear as the kind person who "has to" pick the peaches person.

Therefore, the person who recommends the alchemist may be the crown prince or the second prince, while the sixth prince is secretly working hard.The prince is more likely. The prince hopes that the emperor will not wake up. The second prince and the sixth prince both hope that the emperor will wake up.

If the alchemists belonged to the second prince, the sixth prince would not be able to bribe those alchemists at all.Besides, the relationship between the second prince and the prince has always been very good.

So... the prince recommended the alchemist, maybe he wanted to make the emperor weak gradually, or maybe he just wanted to do what he liked?After all, offering an elixir occasionally is nothing more than flattery, and if the emperor doesn't like alchemy, it's just a trivial matter of being named a national teacher or building a royal Taoist temple.From this point of view, the prince is actually just insuring himself. Someone talking to him next to the emperor or getting closer is a good palliative for an adult prince and a mature emperor.

It's just that this seemingly safe move will be different if there are more caring people to fuel the flames.

The emperor deliberately used tricks to test the prince's intentions, or to test the loyalty of the courtiers, and to boost the emperor's authority by the way.As a result, in the original work, the emperor woke up too late, and the prince actually summoned the clan to plan to take the throne, so the alchemist was found by the prince, the emperor fainted, and the prince planned to take the throne.

It's also possible that the emperor didn't want to wake up so late, but the sixth prince got involved secretly, so the emperor's body was really damaged by the medicine, and he almost couldn't wake up. The sixth prince tried to save the emperor—of course It may also be self-directed and acted-so the emperor has a good impression of the sixth prince, but he really doesn't like to see the prince.

And maybe the Sixth Prince has mastered the poison and antidote for how to make the emperor faint, paralyzed, and recover. Otherwise, how could the emperor have such a good "relapse" in the future?

If the sixth prince is more ruthless, he can also show the second prince's small actions to the emperor, so that the empress of the Yuan Dynasty will no longer be able to turn around. Otherwise, why did the second prince help the prince to rebel in the original plot?

That's true, it's useless for Gao Qinglan to delay time, the sixth prince can definitely wake up the emperor at the most appropriate time.When the emperor woke up, he would not blame the sixth prince, but would only think that his filial piety was commendable.

Gao Qinglan bit her lip... This is just her own unilateral speculation, the real situation may be more complicated than this.

I just don't know how many people were involved?

Twisting her fingers... In fact, Gao Qinglan really doesn't like this feeling of calculating.She always likes to find the most direct way to solve the problem.But if it was really as Gao Qinglan deduced, what should we do now?

After thinking about it for a long time, Gao Qinglan finally made up her mind... People don't want to kill the world for themselves, Your Highness, I'm sorry.
