Chapter 32

"Please tell the emperor clearly." Xiao Yuanzi was even more puzzled, what has changed?

"Plants in the palace."

"Plant?" Xiao Yuanzi stared, he really hadn't thought about it, and what's the point of changing these things?

"If there are not a thousand plants in the palace, there are hundreds. Except for special species or towering trees, ordinary people will not pay special attention to whether they have changed when they walk by, let alone some inconspicuous wild flowers and weeds?"

"The emperor means that someone deliberately changed the plants in the palace?"

"Yes, most people don't pay attention to these humble plants, but there is one exception."

"Who?"

"Koizumi."

"Young Master Gu?"

"He has studied medicine since he was a child, and he is very familiar with medicinal herbs. When I first met him, it was because he opened up wasteland and transplanted medicinal herbs from the harem. Only then did I know that there are many medicinal plants in the palace, and Koizumi also mentioned that these herbs do not have a single poisonous plant, but many herbs can be mixed to produce other medicinal properties."

"Your majesty means that someone intentionally transplanted medicinal herbs as poison?"

"Exactly. I sent secret guards to secretly search all the plants in the palace. They couldn't let go of even a single weed. Then I took them out of the palace and asked a famous doctor to analyze them. Do you know what they found?" Yuan Wenlie sneered. Gong Nei has been with poison for so long without knowing it.

The more Xiao Yuanzi heard it, the more frightened he became. He never dreamed that someone had planned it so carefully, and it had been a year?

"The dark guard brought back news that there are 380 kinds of plants in the palace, and 120 of them have obvious medicinal properties. Although none of them are single-plant poisons, many of them can be used in combination to produce poison. And these plants are about one Years ago, they began to steal dragons and turn phoenixes into the palace one after another." Yuan Wenlie smiled even colder, he asked himself that he was a wise king for the country and the people, but he never thought that someone would deliberately plan to put him to death.

"What the emperor means is that the person who made the poison was related to the change in the harem."

"Xiao Yuanzi, just think about it, if I really fell ill or even died, who would benefit the most?"

"The emperor hasn't established a crown prince so far. If the emperor really reunited with the dragon body, then the biggest beneficiary... should be the regent, but the regent travels all over the world and has no interest in the throne at all. If there is any interest, it is naturally The girls who gave birth to princes." Xiao Yuanzi thought again and again, and the most likely ones should be the princes, but now the princes are still young, so it is naturally their own mothers and relatives who are controlling behind the scenes.

"Exactly, what if someone becomes a queen and I fall ill, or even die?"

"The prince born by the queen will naturally become the prince, and even secure the throne." Xiao Yuanzi understood, that is, someone had planned for a long time and started to act a year ago. Sickness is death, and the biggest beneficiaries are naturally the queen and her son.

"Yes, but their wishful thinking has encountered unexpected obstacles."

"The emperor means Young Master Gu?"

Yuan Wenlie smiled, and continued: "First of all, they didn't think that I would insist on not standing up, and they even delayed for a year, so they didn't dare to poison me for a long time, but kept mixing slow poison."

"Is the emperor poisoned?" Xiao Yuanzi panicked, a year is enough to turn a healthy person into a cold corpse.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. This is what I call an unpredictable obstacle. They didn't expect that I would accidentally get to know Koizumi. Although Koizumi didn't know that I was suffering from chronic poisoning, but with his medical skills, he followed my pulse. In the past six months, he has specially prepared a lot of scented tea and other medicinal foods for me. The poison in my body is chronic, and the medicinal properties are not strong, so after Koizumi's conditioning, the poison was gradually eliminated. Besides, I know If someone poisons me, they will naturally be very careful; it is even more difficult for them to do so."

Yuan Wenlie paused for a while, and then said: "They never thought that the person in my heart is not anyone in the current harem, but Koizumi who suddenly appeared halfway."

"The emperor knows who is behind the scenes?"

"There are two people who are most suspicious. The hidden guards are still on the hunt. It is not appropriate to scare the enemy. The most important thing is to send more people to protect Koizumi. The current situation cannot let anyone know that he exists. If someone finds out that I care about him, It's too dangerous for him."

"That's why your majesty did it last night..." I'm afraid that the intimate behavior yesterday afternoon was specially made for people to see, the purpose was to protect Gu Qingquan, deliberately confuse the public, and point the arrow at Erli?Your Majesty, you are really cruel for yourself.

"You think I'm too ruthless to Erli?" Yuan Wenlie, who grew up with Xiao Yuanzi, naturally knows what Xiao Yuanzi's subtle expression changes mean.

"Xiao Yuanzi dare not." He lowered his head.

"Do you know why I chose her among so many offerings?" Yuan Wenlie sneered.

Xiao Yuanzi raised his head, looked at the emperor with a sinister smile, and thought about it.

"Because she was a spy!"

"What?" Xiao Yuanzi couldn't believe his hearing. Such an innocent woman is a spy?

"Although she is a foreigner, she has a deep relationship with the Minister of War."

"Shangshu of the Ministry of War?"

"Yes, she is the cousin of Minister of War Chen Kun!"

"What? It's impossible. All the people who enter the palace have been strictly filtered and investigated. If she is related to the Minister of War, it is impossible for no one to find out."

"That's because Chen Kun's father, the Great General of Yingwu back then, has an unknown brother who is now the head of the Vik clan in northern Xinjiang."

"The head of the Vik tribe in northern Xinjiang is Chen Kun's uncle?"

"Exactly, the three generations of the Chen family are generals, and it's normal for generals to go on expeditions. Of course...it's not a surprise to keep a seed outside."

"That's why you, Your Majesty, deliberately chose Miss Erli as the target!" Xiao Yuanzi understood, this black-bellied emperor is really full of black water!

"Of course! She wants to get close to me, how can I not give her a chance?" The man with a sinister smile is not like a king at all.

"Your Majesty, please pay attention to your image..." Xiao Yuanzi gave Yuan Wenlie a sneaky look.

"Cough! Okay, let's talk about serious business."

"Your Majesty, haven't we been talking about serious things?" In your mind, what is serious business?

"It's Koizumi's business! Now he is misunderstanding me!"

"Your Majesty, it's normal for Mr. Gu to misunderstand." Besides, you have left behind many princes and daughters. Although they are all from before you met Mr. Gu, it is very difficult for people not to mind.
