Chapter 131 Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace – Gao Xiyue 31
"Your Majesty, someone is coming from Changchun Palace!" Under the dim candlelight, the emperor had just finished washing and was about to go to see his new favorite who was kept in the room behind the Hall of Mental Cultivation when a young eunuch with an unfamiliar face came in to report the news.
Upon hearing the news from Changchun Palace, the emperor immediately lost interest in favoring his new favorite. He waved his hand to signal the palace servants to send the new favorite away. He put on his coat and sat on the chair, raised his chin, and said, "Send him in!"
The unfamiliar young eunuch is named Quan Xiao, who was secretly trained by the emperor after he discovered that Wang Qin had a connection with the queen. Originally, the emperor considered Li Yu's two apprentices, but since he discovered that Li Yu was not so loyal, the emperor lost trust in Li Yu's two apprentices, Jinzhong and Jinbao.
However, the emperor still entrusted the work in front of the emperor to Li Yu and his two apprentices. Firstly, they were only suspects but had not made any mistakes. Secondly, they had served the emperor for so long, and the emperor was very satisfied with their vision and ability to do things. Although he did not trust them, he did not really stop them from serving him.
Quan Xiao is mainly responsible for helping the emperor deal with some special matters. The most important thing at present is of course the surveillance of Changchun Palace. The emperor is still wary of Langya. Although the previous contraceptive drug has been dissolved, the process of how the queen administered the drug and the antidote has not been found. How can the emperor feel at ease?
This time the infertility drug in his body was dissolved, but who knows if Langya will give him the drug again? The love potion he took when he stayed at Changchun Palace last time was a good proof, especially since Hailan became pregnant that day. The emperor had to suspect that there might be some other ingredients in the love potion, such as something that could make a woman have a child.
The inconspicuous eunuch in Changchun Palace knelt on the ground and reported softly to the emperor the scene that had happened in the Changchun Palace before. Not only did he repeat word for word what Xiyue and Langya said, but he also vividly portrayed the expressions and demeanor of the two at that time.
The emperor looked serious after hearing this. There were three questions that made him pay so much attention. First, how did Imperial Noble Consort Hui know that she had been poisoned? Second, if the queen was not the one who poisoned her, then who was the one who poisoned her? Third, how did Imperial Noble Consort Hui know that she had poisoned the queen's spices, and why did she remind the queen?
No matter which question it is, it shows that there is a traitor around the emperor. This traitor not only knows a lot about the emperor, but also has a very good understanding of the emperor's physical condition.
The emperor suddenly felt scared. He was already the emperor and the master of the entire palace, but he never expected that everyone around him had been bribed by an unknown mastermind.
The emperor now not only began to doubt everyone around him, but even Xiyue, who had always been in charge of the palace power, began to be vigilant, "Is it true that Imperial Concubine Hui has no other intentions in raising Yongqi?"
Did Xiyue really have no other ideas when raising Yongqi? Of course not. She raised Yongqi for two reasons: first, to satisfy Trader No. 4's regret in his previous life but not wanting to have a child herself; second, Yongqi was the smartest prince in the entire Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace, and raising Yongqi would bring the highest benefits.
Before the emperor could become more suspicious, Xiyue came to him as soon as he finished court the next day.
When the emperor heard Li Yu report that Xiyue had come to the Yangxin Palace early in the morning to meet him, he could not help but start to guess Xiyue's intention. Li Yu saw that the emperor looked hesitant and seemed to be in a difficult situation, so he could not help but take the initiative to ask, "Your Majesty, do you want me to ask Imperial Noble Consort Hui to go back?"
The emperor looked at Li Yu with dissatisfaction, somewhat regretting that the other party had seen through his thoughts, but he asked Xiyue to go back. After thinking about it, the emperor decided to meet her. He glanced at Li Yu mercilessly: "Li Yu, you are too careless!"
After saying that, the emperor walked quickly into the palace, leaving Li Yu, who was frightened by the emperor and sweating all over, kneeling on the spot and not daring to get up. Jinbao, who was guarding the door of the palace, saw the previous scene. When the emperor came in, he lowered his head and concealed his presence, not daring to say a word.
The emperor was only concerned about what Xiyue wanted to talk to him about, and didn't notice the eunuch Jinbao at the side. After the emperor entered the palace, Jinbao closed the palace door, not daring to eavesdrop on what was going on inside like before.
"Xiyue, what do you want to talk to me about today?" The moment he entered the palace, the emperor adjusted his expression, restored himself to his usual appearance, and walked towards Xiyue with a smile.
Xiyue looked at his expression and couldn't help but sigh, he is worthy of being the emperor, he has been able to act since he was a child, and now that he is the emperor, his acting skills are even better. If she couldn't use her mental power to sense the other's true emotions, she really wouldn't be able to tell that the emperor is full of suspicion and fear of her at this time.
Xiyue didn't waste any time and directly stated his purpose.
"Your Majesty, I came to see you this time because I discovered a big secret about you. You were given a sterilizing drug!"
"Xiyue, you, what did you say?!!" The emperor had imagined many kinds of Xiyue's reactions in his mind, but he didn't expect Xiyue to use a big move as soon as she opened her mouth. He had never thought of this situation. Because he was too surprised, not only could he not maintain his smile, he almost stuttered.
"Your Majesty, I say that someone has given you a sterilizing drug!"
The emperor finally realized that everything was different from what he had imagined. Xiyue's words seemed to be somewhat different from his own situation. He narrowed his eyes, calmly pretended that he knew nothing and began to ask questions.
"Xiyue, how did you find out about this?"
"Some time ago, I found that the tonic soup I often drank tasted a little strange. I asked Xing Xuan and learned that it was the advice given by the imperial physician Qi Ruqi, who said that I had a cold and could improve it with food tonic."
"Imperial Doctor Qi gave Xing Xuan some dietary supplements and prepared some medicinal herbs. However, after I drank the tonic soup, I always felt my hands and feet getting colder, and the cold symptoms in my body did not improve."
Hearing this, the emperor knew that Xiyue no longer trusted Qi Ru. He paused and said nothing, motioning Xiyue to continue.
"So I specially changed to a young imperial physician for treatment. The young imperial physician told me that a lot of medicinal materials were added to the tonic soup. It is indeed beneficial for normal people, but for people with colds, it will only aggravate the symptoms of colds..."
"I know that Doctor Qi Ruqi is the emperor's man, but I don't believe that the emperor wants my life, so I think Doctor Qi must have betrayed the emperor, or there is someone else behind him."
"So, I have investigated it carefully!" Having said this, Xiyue glanced at the emperor. After receiving Xiyue's gaze, the emperor was a little bit unbelievable. He seemed to see sympathy in Xiyue's eyes just now?
The emperor finally couldn't keep his calm face. There was someone behind Qi Ru? Then, could the medicines Qi Ru prescribed for him that he took on a daily basis also have problems?
"Xiyue! What did you find out?"
