The wealthy tycoon wants to be the white moonlight of the little village girl

As the imperial physician spoke, he opened the medicine box, took out a silver needle, and inserted a needle into each of the Ren Zhong, Yu Ji, and Tai Yuan acupuncture points.

After waiting for a while, I heard a cry of "Aiya", and Concubine Cao finally woke up...

Ziyuan said excitedly: "My queen, you are finally awake!"

Concubine Cao looked at her in a daze and asked, "Is it true that my brother and father died in prison?"

Ziyuan did not answer, but said softly: "Your Majesty, please get up and eat first! You have been hungry and haven't eaten for most of the day. No wonder you fainted due to exhaustion..." As she said that, she was about to help her up.

Imperial Concubine Cao gently pushed her hand away, leaned on the pillow and panted for a while, then said, "I want to see the Emperor!"

The eunuch hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor is in a meeting with Lord Meng and others. I'm afraid they won't be able to leave for a while. Even if you go there now, it will be difficult to see them..."

Ziyuan also said, "Besides, you haven't eaten or drunk anything for half a day. You can't kneel and wait outside any longer!"

Imperial Concubine Cao listened silently without moving. Her eyes first dimmed slowly, then gradually burned up, emitting a faint light...

She asked the others to go down first, leaving only Ziyuan to take orders.

The master and servant looked at each other for a moment, and Concubine Cao said, "Go and call Jiang Zhongping. I have something to tell him!"

Ziyuan hesitated for a moment and said softly, "My queen, if we fail, it will only make the situation worse..."

Imperial Concubine Cao sneered and said grimly, "Even a grasshopper would kick its legs before dying! I will never sit still and wait for death. I will definitely drag that bitch down with me. Besides, if the mother and son die, Wuhen will be the emperor's only heir! No matter who dies, it is good news for me..."

Ziyuan wanted to persuade her again, but Concubine Cao stopped her and said, "I have made up my mind! You don't need to persuade me anymore!"

Seeing this, Ziyuan had no choice but to turn around and leave.

……

At three o'clock in the morning, a dark shadow sneaked near Yuhua Palace.

The shadowy figure reached out and pushed the gate, only to find it was locked. He then looked around and found no one was there, then he jumped into the yard like a kite...

The room was dark, and it seemed that Concubine Jia and her son had already gone to bed.

The shadowy figure used the tip of a knife to pry open the bolt and tiptoed inside...

There seemed to be someone sleeping on the bed with the curtains drawn low. Through the gauze curtains, it felt like it was a woman, with her jet-black hair hanging on the pillow. It was none other than Concubine Jia.

The black shadow raised the hammer in his hand, opened the gauze curtain and smashed it hard at the sleeping Concubine Jia!

At this moment, I heard someone screaming behind me: "Oh no! There are thieves! Someone is committing a crime..."

The black shadow didn't bother to check whether Concubine Jia was dead or not. He hurriedly threw away the hammer, turned around and flipped out of the window!

At this time, candles were lit in the house, and Concubine Jia walked in from outside safely.

She came to the bed, bent down and picked up the hammer on the ground, then lifted the curtain, looked at the flattened dummy on the bed, and sneered: "Come here! Prepare the sedan chair, I want to go see the emperor now!"

……

Inside the Hibiscus Palace, the emperor was sleeping soundly when he suddenly heard a eunuch outside whispering, "Your Majesty, Concubine Jia wants to see you!"

The emperor slowly opened his eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "What's the matter?"

The eunuch said, "The queen said she has something urgent to discuss with you! It's about Concubine Cao!"

The emperor closed his eyes again upon hearing this, and said lazily: "Let Concubine Jia go back and rest first! We can talk about it after I leave the court tomorrow..."

The eunuch was silent for a while and then said, "The Queen said that someone went to Yuhua Palace to assassinate her..."

The emperor was no longer sleepy at this moment, and he immediately opened his eyes and said, "Let her in!"

As he said this, he sat up and prepared to get down to the ground.

Concubine Mo stretched out her snow-white arms and gently embraced the emperor's waist...

The emperor took her delicate hand and placed it on his lips and kissed it, then said, "I have something to deal with, you go to sleep first!"

As he said this, he put on his pajamas and sat down on the couch in the outer room.

After the door opened, Concubine Jia walked in from outside, knelt down in front of the emperor with a plop, and said with a bit of anxiety and timidity in her voice: "Your Majesty, please make a decision for me! Someone wants to harm my life and the lives of others!"

The emperor saw that her clothes were disheveled and her hair was a little messy, and he couldn't help but frown and said, "What's the matter? Sit down and talk if you have anything to say."

Concubine Jia wiped her tears and said, "Someone came to tell me tonight that Concubine Cao was going to send someone to kill us, mother and son! I found it unbelievable and didn't take it to heart.

But the maids said that we must be on guard. After thinking about it, I felt that it would not hurt to be careful, so I did not sleep in the bedroom. I just put a dummy in the tent... Who knew that a man in black really came to commit a crime and smashed the dummy's head with a hammer! Your Majesty, look..."

As Concubine Jia waved her hand, a maid came in holding a hammer, raised her hands and said, "Your Majesty, please take a look!"

The emperor took a closer look and couldn't help but frowned, saying, "How dare he commit a crime in the palace! This is outrageous. Qin Ruihai, immediately have the guards seal off the palace gates and get to the bottom of this!"

"Yes!"

Qin Ruihai hurriedly turned around and went out to convey the order.

The emperor continued to comfort Concubine Jia, saying, "My beloved concubine, don't panic! I will have someone investigate this matter thoroughly and give you an explanation. At the same time, we will also prevent this from happening again in the future..."

Whenever the emperor thought of the time he had stayed in Yuhua Palace, he couldn't help feeling scared. The hammer was obviously carefully crafted with exquisite workmanship. It felt heavy in his hand, and the handle was covered with deerskin.

If this hammer came down, even a stone would be broken! Not to mention the fragile human head. The emperor was determined to investigate the matter thoroughly.

An hour later, the guard leader Shao Xian hurried to Furong Palace. He knelt on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, the murderer has been found! He has been brought outside to await his punishment!"

The emperor frowned and asked, "Where did you find it?"

Shao Xian said, "I led the guards to search along the way. When we arrived at Lingguang Pavilion, we found a criminal lying on the ground and shouting 'Ouch'. I quickly led people to take a look. I saw a man in a night walker with a nail stuck in his foot. Blood was flowing. I went forward and brought him here, waiting for your majesty to decide his fate!"

The men in the palace were either guards or eunuchs. If a stranger appeared, he must be a criminal. The emperor's face suddenly turned ugly and he ordered, "Bring him in!"

"Yes!"

Shao Xian turned around and clapped his hands. Two guards came in carrying a man in black. They came to the emperor and put him down heavily, saying sternly, "Your Majesty!"

The emperor took a closer look and found that the man looked pale and in great pain. He asked, "What is your name and what do you do? Why did you go to Yuhua Palace to assassinate someone in the middle of the night? Who ordered you to do that?"
