Concubine Shu sent supplements for a while, but the emperor sometimes didn't drink them, and sometimes he only took a few sips.

After a month, the emperor was still in high spirits.

Concubine Shu became anxious when she saw it, but she didn't dare to tell anyone except her son and brother, or even her confidants, about this matter. She was alone, silently adding ingredients to the supplements given to the emperor.

Concubine Shu gritted her teeth and increased the dosage.

Some days passed.

King Cheng, who had been waiting for a long time, finally received a reply from Concubine Shu.

Reading the contents of the letter, the smile on King Cheng's face widened, and he was ecstatic inside.

My uncle already has the camp on the outskirts of Beijing in his hands. The leader of the Imperial Guard was a die-hard loyalist to his father. He could not be bribed and had to break through when the time came. However, the number of people in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing was more than twice that of the Imperial Guard.

Even though there are city walls to protect it, there are still mothers and concubines in the palace.

Concubine Zhang was banned and good concubines were not favored. Now the concubine is groveling down to the emperor and taking control of the harem. With the concubine in the palace to support her, it will not be a problem to enter the palace!

Thinking that very soon, he would rule the world and be the leader among thousands of people, his expression became uncontrollably excited.

Thinking of the four wandering doctors who were still in the palace, King Cheng called Lou Yin.

"Kill those four people directly."

Lou Yi looked at King Cheng in surprise: "Your Highness?"

King Cheng snorted softly: "These people are just untouchables, and they are so good at making poisons. What if they are used by others in the future to kill me! What's more, these people have no loyalty to me, and they still want to keep these people." A few people can’t serve as evidence.”

Lou Yi knew that King Cheng was right. Regicide must leave no trace, otherwise it will be a hidden danger in the future.

only..

Lou Yi thought of himself!

At first, I just thought about following Cheng Wang and seeking great wealth!

Now he can't help but start to think, when things come true, what awaits him will be wealth or death! These four people were found by him.

Unable to let him think about it carefully, King Cheng looked at him and Lou Yi quickly said: "Yes, I will do it now."

King Cheng nodded and began to plan to sneak out of Long County and head to Shangjing secretly.

The day when his father died and the palace was destroyed, he shocked everyone and appeared.

Earlier, he had found someone who was somewhat similar to him and stayed in the Long County Prince's Mansion to replace him, leaving his confidants to take care of him.

He himself disguised himself as a merchant and rushed to Shangjing with Lou Yi and other guards.

...

On this day, the prince was discussing state affairs with the emperor in Chengqian Palace. Seeing that the emperor looked unhappy, he asked with concern: "Father, what's happened to you recently?"

The emperor waved his hand: "Nothing's wrong. Maybe I'm tired recently and feel sleepy easily. The imperial doctor comes to check for Ping'an Pulse every day. There's nothing wrong with my body."

After hearing this, the prince did not ask any more questions, but only told the emperor to take a rest.

But at night, when I hugged Shu Yuwan, I couldn't help but mention this matter: "Father has always been in good health, but lately he has been often sleepy, and something doesn't seem right."

Shu Yuwan said: "I heard that Concubine Shu always sends supplements to my father recently?"

When the prince heard this, his expression became serious: "You mean?"

Shu Yuwan shook her head: "I don't know who I am, but I think it's too much of a coincidence. I heard that Concubine Shu has always been quite proud and flamboyant. She rarely sent food to my father in the past, but now she is suddenly so considerate. Ajin, you said again, My father has been in poor health recently.”

Shu Yuwan added: "Moreover, the people we arranged to visit Concubine Shu's palace said that Concubine Shu has been in frequent contact with the outside world recently."

The prince fell into deep thought after hearing this, with a cruel look on his face.

If Concubine Shu attacks her father, she will really deserve to die!

Thinking of his third brother who was sent to Long County and the Li family who controlled the camp in the suburbs of Beijing, the prince's expression became even more unpleasant.

At the beginning, when King An and King Cheng left the capital, the prince arranged for people to accompany the two kings out of the capital.

The next day, the prince sent people to Long County to check on King Cheng's movements.

The prince had no way to intervene in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing. The mighty general had always been his father's confidant, and the deputy general in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing was also his father's man.

I can only remind my father.

On the second day, when he entered Chengqian Palace again, the prince saw that the emperor was sleepy again, so he said: "Father, you have always been in good health, but recently I often see you tired and sleepy. Although the imperial doctor cannot find out the reason, I feel that... It’s better to check carefully.”

When the emperor heard this, he perked up.

A person who has emerged from the cruel struggle for imperial power, even though he has been a noble for so many years, he still has some sensitivity. As soon as the prince mentioned it, the emperor knew what his son meant.

"Hong Quanfu!"

Eunuch Hong immediately stood up and said, "My slave is here."

"Go check it out!"

Eunuch Hong also knew the seriousness of the matter and immediately said: "I will go right now."

"Wait a minute," the prince shouted.

The emperor and Eunuch Hong both looked at the prince: "Don't alert too many people! Try to be as quiet as possible."

The prince added: "Especially the supplements sent by the ladies of the palace."

Eunuch Hong looked at the emperor, who nodded. Eunuch Hong said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for reminding me. I know this."

After Eunuch Hong left, the emperor said: "Jin'er, do you doubt Concubine Shu?"

The prince was noncommittal: "Concubine Shumu is indeed abnormal. I am just making reasonable speculations."

The emperor nodded, but in his heart he was not willing to believe that Concubine Shu would poison him.

Although Concubine Shu was outspoken, she was a simple person. She was devoted to him back then. When he had already married Shu Yan, she would rather be a concubine than marry him. She even persuaded her brother to help him ascend the throne with the whole family.

The Li family has always been loyal and never crossed the line.

Over the years, although he did not have the same admiration for Concubine Shu as he did for Shu Yan, he always treated Concubine Shu well. Even if she had a little temper, he always let her do what she wanted and never treated her harshly.
