The next day is fifteen.
Yun Chu went to the palace to pay his respects as usual.
She walked to the door of the Yangxin Hall and saw a concubine walking out with a body-nurturing soup with a disappointed look on her face.
In addition to the people serving in the main hall, she also saw Fan Ming, the leader of the Royal Forest Army, guarding the gate of the inner hall.
She heard from Chu Yi that Fan Ming's father and the emperor grew up together and died to protect the emperor. So the emperor personally promoted Fan Ming to be the leader of the imperial army, and he was in charge of all imperial armies in the Jin Dynasty. The emperor took charge of it.
Under the current circumstances, the emperor asked Fan Ming to stay at the Yangxin Hall, which shows the emperor's trust in this person.
"I have met the Crown Princess." Eunuch Gao came over and saluted, "The Emperor coughed for a long time this morning. He is not feeling well and has not seen guests. Please ask the Crown Princess to come back another day."
Yun Chu took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve and handed it over: "The rest of the antidote is here. Please help Eunuch Gao to feed it to my father. When my father is cured by the medicine, he can return to court."
Eunuch Gao was about to take the porcelain vase and promised repeatedly.
Yun Chu continued, "I heard from the prince that the emperor likes to eat a kind of folk snack the most. I specially asked someone to buy some and send them to the emperor. I bothered Eunuch Gao to send them to the emperor."
Gao Gonggong said: "The emperor has a poor appetite recently, so he may not eat it, but this is the princess's wish. I will give it a try."
He walked to the door of the hall carrying the plate and was about to speak.
Fan Ming, the leader of the Royal Forest Army, said coldly: "Any food that enters the Yangxin Palace must be tested for poison. Eunuch Gao, please."
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Eunuch Gao had no doubt that Yun Chu would do something with the food. He ate it one after another, and then walked into the hall with his face as usual.
After a while, he came out with snacks: "I have tried to persuade you for a long time, but the emperor still has no appetite..."
Yun Chu looked at Eunuch Gao's face and understood.
She smiled and said, "Then I'll come back another day."
She turned around, her smile disappearing instantly, replaced by a face covered in frost.
After taking the poison that kills the poison, the host will feel chest pain for a moment. Su Ziyue has this reaction, but Eunuch Gao does not have it at all.
Eunuch Gao was not bewitched.
Instead, he betrayed the emperor.
Without taking the poison and without the poison to confuse his mind, Eunuch Gao still chose to betray.
No wonder the emperor was so paranoid. The woman he had loved for thirty years was fake. The queen married his wife and murdered her and forced her into the palace. The slave who had served him for more than fifty years betrayed him easily. There are so many children, each with their own agenda...
It's cold at high places, that's true.
After leaving the palace, Yunchu went back to Yun's house.
After staying at Yun's house for two hours, she returned to the palace and received Chu Yi's first letter.
In the letter, he asked about her and her children's situation, and briefly talked about his own situation. The journey was going smoothly, and he would arrive at Linhai City in a few days...
Yun Chu replied to Chu Yi with a gentle face and asked someone to send it quickly.
She hugged Brother Jue and sat on the couch, all kinds of thoughts flying through her mind.
She was thinking, besides Eunuch Gao, who else does the emperor trust now?
Fan Ming, the commander of the Royal Forest Army, was indeed trusted by the Holy One, but she could not trust this man.
Who should be chosen to be the one who feeds the emperor the antidote?
After thinking about it, Yun Chu had the answer in her mind, and she had someone send a message to Concubine Yun in the palace.
The next morning, the concubine took time to come to Concubine Yun's palace to pay her respects.
Although Concubine Yun is not a queen, she is now in charge of the Sixth Palace and has the power of a queen. Therefore, the concubines in the harem are all headed by Concubine Yun.
Of course, there was someone among them who was dissatisfied, and that was Concubine Yin, but with Chu Yier's advice, Concubine Yin would not deliberately target Concubine Yun, her expression would just not look good.
Now that the emperor is seriously ill, the concubines are in despair.
Concubine Yun sighed and said: "In the past, the emperor had Prince Zhuang and Princess Zhuang waiting for him, but it was not our turn. Now that the emperor is tired of Prince Zhuang and Princess Zhuang for some reason, it's time for us to fulfill our duties as concubines. Dear sisters, If you have time, go to the Yangxin Palace to pay homage to the Emperor. If you can stay and wait for me, it will be a great achievement."
The emperor had been ill for several months and had not hired anyone to attend his bed for several months. Instead, he visited the eldest lady of the Li family frequently.
Although the eldest lady of the Li family is crazy, who can guarantee that she will be crazy for the rest of her life?
If the madness is cured and the eldest lady of the Li family enters the palace, then these concubines will become mere decorations.
These concubines had long wanted to try their luck at the Cultivation Heart Palace, mainly because they were afraid of being scolded for standing out, so they did not take any action.
With Concubine Yun's words, these concubines could no longer hold back. They left Concubine Yun's place, immediately prepared medicinal soups, supplements, etc., and headed towards the Nourishing Heart Hall.
This afternoon, all the harem concubines went to the Yangxin Hall.
Eunuch Gao was very annoyed.
He made an excuse, left the Yangxin Hall, went to the Ministry of Industry, and met Chu Rui privately on the edge of the rockery.
"My lord, we can't go on like this." Eunuch Gao whispered, "The emperor is seriously ill, and it is natural for the concubine to take care of his illness. It is really unreasonable to exclude the concubine at once. I am afraid that it will arouse the suspicion of interested people."
A smile appeared on Chu Rui's lips.
He got the news that Yunchu went back to Yun's house yesterday.
This was a deliberate attempt to create chaos in the harem. He wanted Concubine Yun to go to the Yangxin Palace to take care of her illness so that she could feed the emperor the antidote.
He spoke slowly: "I will go to the Yangxin Palace to report some important matters to the Emperor later. You can act accordingly."
Eunuch Gao nodded and returned to the Yangxin Hall.
Just then, a concubine was standing at the door with soup, begging hard: "I am worried about the emperor's dragon body, so I came here to take care of him. I also ask the emperor to give me a chance. I haven't seen the emperor for a long time..."
Fan Ming stood at the door of the hall with a cold face: "Li Cairen, please come back!"
Li Cairen stomped his feet angrily: "Master Fan asked me to leave before I even went in to report. How unreasonable!"
Eunuch Gao walked in quickly: "Old slave, please go in and report."
He pushed the door open and saw the emperor lying on the dragon couch, with an extremely pale face and blood stains on his lips from coughing up.
There was guilt in his eyes and he couldn't help but avoid looking.
I really can't blame him... He has served the emperor for so many years and regards the emperor's body as more important than his own life. However, not long ago, he asked the emperor to find a real deal for his adopted son, but the emperor ignored him. He refused without mercy.
The emperor had so many sons to take care of him until they died, but he only had one adopted son.
The emperor did not agree to such a request.
It made him feel that his loyalty over the years had become a joke.
Before Eunuch Gao opened his mouth to inform Li Cairen, Fan Ming's voice rang out: "Your Majesty, Prince Zhuang is here, saying he has something important to report."
The emperor opened his eyes, and Eunuch Gao quickly stepped forward to help the emperor up and sit on the couch.
Not long after, Chu Rui walked in with his head lowered, bowed and saluted, and then reported on the floods in the south...
