At night, in the Qianqing Palace, Wei Yuan was telling Liu Hong what had happened during the day. Tian Zi also couldn't believe it,""Is this true? These words really came from the mouth of the Crown Prince."
Elder Wei nodded." That's true. If I hadn't heard it with my own ears, I wouldn't have believed that a mere seven-year-old child could say such enlightening words."”
" This is my son," Tian Zi said proudly." I have always believed that he was destined to be extraordinary. He did not disappoint me!"”
When he recalled the Crown Prince saying this in his tender voice during the day, Old Man Wei sighed and said,"Your Highness is able to see things so deeply at such a young age. Your future achievements are destined to be extraordinary. Does His Majesty know? Just now, this old official wanted to wait for the Crown Prince to finish speaking and then check on the gaps. Who knew that the result was that there was no room for me to intervene.”
Hearing this, Tian Zi looked at Old Man Wei gratefully and said,""It is all thanks to Teacher's careful guidance that the Crown Prince can have today. Otherwise, no matter how outstanding his talent is, Zhong Yong's injuries are not few in history!”
"Your Majesty, you're exaggerating. This old official is just adding icing on the cake. If it wasn't for the fact that the Crown Prince was born as a piece of unpolished jade, it would be useless even if this old official were to teach him painstakingly. Congratulations, Your Majesty, for having such an outstanding Saint Child!”
······
The monarch and his subjects had a heart-to-heart talk. From the teacher-student relationship back then, they had supported each other for more than 30 years. The two of them recalled all the things that had happened in the past and could not help but feel glad that they had met each other.
"Your Majesty, is there any news from the Lu family?" Old Man Wei asked.”
At the mention of the Lu family, the smile on Tian Zi's face disappeared and he said coldly,"Zhen hopes that they won't make any moves. In order to test this one's attitude, they didn't hesitate to sacrifice dozens of lives. This Lu family is really determined to go against this one.”
Hearing Tian Zi's words, Old Man Wei couldn't help but sigh deeply,"Sigh! A thousand-year-old family, who would have thought that their descendants would have fallen to such a shameless state. Moreover, it wasn't just the Lu family. More than half of the aristocratic families in the Federation had already decayed! Back then, I personally visited the aristocratic families of the world, hoping to unite their strength to revive the Federation. Who knew that except for a few aristocratic families who were willing to follow Jing, the other aristocratic families were all in cahoots with the eunuch!”
However, Tian Zi didn't care and said,"It doesn't matter. Without these vermin, I will be able to travel lightly in the future. When the time comes, the Federation's reform will also reduce a lot of resistance.”
Old Man Wei thought for a moment and felt relieved. Since ancient times, how could reforms not bleed? In any case, those who were purged would all be those who deserved to die. "Your Majesty, you must also pay attention to those eunuchs. Be careful that they don't act rashly."”
"Don't worry, Teacher," the Crown Prince said with some disdain,"with these eunuchs, what tricks can they play under my eyes?" When the time was right, he would capture them all in one fell swoop!”
Old Man Wei was relieved to hear this." If that's the case, I'm relieved. By the way, when does Your Majesty plan to start pulling in the net?"”
"Let's wait until the Empress is in labor! If possible, I don't want this child to be born into the world by blood.”Tian Zi thought of his unborn child and said gently.
······
As time passed, the Empress gradually gained weight. The emperor had to give up most of his government affairs and spend a lot of time with the Empress. Liu Yu also came to the Jiaofang Palace more frequently. Seeing that her mother's stomach was getting bigger and bigger, she couldn't help but ask the Empress curiously whether the child in her stomach was a younger brother or sister.
In the bedchamber, the Empress lay lazily on the soft couch, covering her mouth and laughing,""Then does Yu 'er wish for Imperial Mother to give birth to a younger sister or a younger brother?”
Liu Yu rested her chin on her hands and rested it on the edge of the bed. Her small face was full of a matter-of-fact expression as she said," Of course it's a younger sister!”
"Why?" The Empress raised her hand and stroked Liu Yu's little head as she asked curiously.
Liu Yu's face was serious as she said in a very authoritative tone,""Of course, it's because many books have written that the younger sister should always care more about the older brother than the younger brother. Moreover, the older brother in the book obviously loves the younger sister more!”
Tian Zi, who had just entered the room, couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this. The Empress was also amused to the point of giggling. For a moment, the atmosphere in the bedroom became lively. Just as the Empress was about to give birth, Gao Hai and the other eunuchs were rushing to prepare for their unprecedented plan.
On this day, in a side hall of Zhujin City, the palace was guarded by a large number of guards. This was the place that the eunuchs secretly called the " Dragon Biting Room ". This was now the place where the eunuchs discussed important matters!
At this moment, eight eunuchs were looking at two porcelain bottles, one blue and one red, on the table. "Duke Gao, is this the poison you mentioned to kill the emperor?" Xia Wang asked with uncertainty.”
Gao Hai sipped his tea slowly and replied,""Yes, it took our family a lot of effort to get it. With it, our plan can be smoothly implemented.”
The others were also suspicious. Zhao Hao, whose face was full of fat, couldn't help but ask Gao Hai,"Gao Gong, is the thing in these two porcelain bottles really as powerful as you say? Can you explain it to us?"
Gao Hai put down the teacup in his hand, glanced at everyone present, and said,""I think you all know that the number of troops that our eunuch group can control in Zhujin City is very limited. It is impossible to force the abdication through a mutiny! However, poisoning the emperor's food was basically hopeless.”
Everyone nodded in agreement. As the leaders of the eunuchs, they naturally knew that they did not have enough troops to listen to their orders, which had always been the weakness of the big eunuch group. But if it was poison, sorry! As long as it involved the emperor's meals, there were strict checks on the selection of ingredients, cooking, and serving. Now that the emperor was very wary of eunuchs, it was basically impossible for their people to get close. Not to mention that there were people who specially tasted the dishes for Tian Zi!
Looking at Gao Hai's mysterious face, everyone's appetites were whetted, and they said anxiously,"Duke Gao, don't talk in riddles. What kind of magic treasure is this?”
Seeing that it was about time, Gao Hai didn't continue to hide it and said,""This poison has a unique feature. If one consumes one bottle alone, it will not kill anyone. However, once the two bottles meet, it will be a poison that is enough to kill a person!”
Xia Wang couldn't help but say," This doesn't seem to be anything strange. There are many things in the world that produce poison when the two meet. However, their weakness is that the poison is too weak. Even if the emperor eats it, as long as he is saved in time, he will be fine." Gao Gong, is your poison really as powerful as you say?”
"Hmph, of course. We've already tested his toxicity. It's more than enough to kill an adult. Moreover, the order in which it was consumed was also very unique!
Everyone looked at the two bottles of medicine curiously. There were actually so many secrets.
Gao Hai picked up the blue porcelain bottle with a smile and said,""This is the main medicine. You have to take it first. It won't have any effect if you get it wrong. Once consumed, it would slowly accumulate in the human body and could not be easily expelled from the body. When the dosage was sufficient, he would take the drug in the red bottle. At that time, the toxicity produced would not be able to be saved by the emperor!”
Hearing Gao Hai's words, everyone looked at the two unremarkable small porcelain bottles in shock. They thought that it was unbelievable. However, they were much more at ease now. As long as this poison was as miraculous as Gao Hai had described, their plan would have a greater chance of success. Zhao Hao shook his fat and said happily," Duke Gao is really amazing. You actually managed to get your hands on such a strange poison. In addition, the imperial chef in charge of the emperor's meals is already under our control. This way, you can poison the emperor without anyone knowing."”
Hearing this, everyone cheered up. These eunuchs who held power had no reason to be unhappy. As long as this flawless plan could be successfully implemented, they had a high probability of success. When the emperor passed away, they only needed to take advantage of the moment when everyone was unprepared to take action and control the situation. The righteous cause would be on their side, and when that time came, they would have the final say in deposing the heir.
Thinking of such a beautiful scene, they couldn't help but laugh. "Duke Gao, should we inform the heads of the various aristocratic families?" Tong Lun asked.”
Upon hearing the word 'aristocratic family', Gao Hai was furious and said,""Don't mention those useless fools to me. "Especially that Lu family. They provoked the Eastern Palace for no reason. Fortunately, the emperor didn't pursue the matter further. Otherwise, if this matter were to blow up, it might implicate us. After stirring up such a big mess, they still proudly flaunted in front of me. These aristocratic families were indeed specially raised by the emperor to cut off their flesh and eat! Furthermore, this was a serious matter. The fewer people who knew about it, the safer it would be. Before the matter was settled, these aristocratic families could not be counted on.”
Seeing Gao Hai getting angry, Xia Wang advised him,""Why don't we ask them to send a few disciples over? After all, we can't be at ease if we don't drag a few people down with us. Besides, there's no need to tell them the truth. Let them do things for us like fools!”
When the others heard this, they clapped their hands in joy. This way, they could not only pull people into the water, but also obtain the greatest benefits. When they thought of the expressions of those aristocratic families who were usually stingy and only ate without doing anything, they felt extremely happy!
After that, the eunuchs discussed the details of the plan, and the plan finally took shape. Gao Hai looked at everyone with a serious expression and said,""Everyone, after the Empress gives birth to the Dragon Son, we will begin our operation. Before that, we must keep this a secret!”
"We will obey Chief Gao's orders!" Everyone said solemnly.”
When the emperor was still accompanying the empress in the Jiaofang Palace, he would never have thought that these eunuchs, whom he looked down on, would plot a shocking conspiracy to engulf him and his two children.
