The medical concubine devoured the world

Chapter 249
Zhao Hong smiled and said, "May I take a step to speak?"

Master Yuan pushed back the servants around him and closed the door.

Zhao Hong said with a serious face: "If this country belongs to me in the future, the position of prime minister must be yours."

As soon as these words came out, Master Yuan was in a cold sweat from shock.

He hurriedly opened the door and looked around for a while.

Back in the house, he reprimanded in a low voice: "You want to die, don't drag me, our family has already lost a girl. What? Do you still want my life?"

Zhao Hong smiled.

"Master Yuan's words are serious. I promise you that you can do it. You see, His Majesty doesn't value your Yuan family at all. If you don't take refuge in me, you will never recover."

Master Yuan fell into deep thought when he heard these words.

What Zhao Hong said this time is indeed the truth.

After several disturbances by Yuan Ruru, the emperor had already had an opinion on their Yuan family.

If he hadn't been keeping a low profile all these years, he might have found some excuse to steal their house.

While Lord Yuan was still hesitating, Zhao Hong took out a stack of ledgers from his cuff and threw them on the table casually.

"Master Yuan has embezzled the government's disaster relief funds all these years. Do you think these funds are still worthy?"

Master Yuan picked up the ledger on the table and sat down on the chair in fright, he hesitated for a long time, and said, "Okay, I'll follow you."

Zhao Hong patted Master Yuan on the shoulder.

"He who knows the current affairs is a brilliant man, and I appreciate your intelligence."

After saying that, Zhao Hong left Yuan Mansion.

Master Yuan sat on the chair, the sweat on his forehead kept coming out.

After all, he was negligent. He thought he hid these books well, but he didn't know that they had already fallen into the hands of others.

Zhao Hong walked back and forth among the court officials in an ordinary way, this action has already fallen into the eyes of the emperor and Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu snorted coldly.

"It seems that he thinks he has lived too long for doing such an act under the watchful eyes of everyone."

The hidden guard said from the side: "This is the latest news. The eyeliners planted say that Zhao Hong intends to rebel before August [-]th."

Zhao Xu nodded, these things were all within his expectation.

He weighed the ledger in his hand, turned around and asked, "What does the emperor say?"

The dark guard frowned and replied: "The emperor knows all about it, but he still can't make up his mind."

Zhao Xu dropped the ledger in his hand, as expected of his most beloved prince, who was about to rebel intentionally, yet he was able to bear it.

In the evening, Zhao Xu came to Zhao Xi's home.

Zhao Xu frowned and said, "Is the time ripe?"

Zhao Xi shook his head.

"There's not enough evidence to eradicate the Queen's group."

Zhao Xu whispered, "Could it be that we really have to wait until the day of the rebellion?"

Zhao Xi nodded.

The air suddenly fell silent.

After a while, Zhao Xu said again: "Maybe things will turn around, just wait."

When Zhao Xu returned to the mansion in the middle of the night, he found someone following him.

Dare to follow him, it is really a trick.

As soon as Zhao Xu turned his head and followed the others, he disappeared into the night.

When Zhao Xu went to the gate, he found that there was no guard on duty at the gate. It seems that some people in his house should be cleaned up.

Before dawn the next day, Zhao Xu asked the housekeeper to gather everyone in the mansion.

Zhao Xu took the population booklet and checked them one by one, and found that they were all normal.It appears that someone has mutinied.

Zhao Xu was locked in the study for several days and didn't go out.

The housekeeper was very curious, the prince has never been like this, what happened these few days?
Zhao Xu didn't tell anyone about the traitor.

The maid beside Concubine Gan was secretly sent to Anzhuang in the outskirts for interrogation. Ordinary prisoners, Zhao Xu, would not be sent here.

This is his secret base, but this is his only breakthrough.

If the woman's mouth is pried open, things will naturally begin to take shape.

Zhao Xu is naturally very confident about these matters. There is no prisoner he cannot interrogate these years, but he has no intention to participate in these matters.

Even the emperor didn't know about his ability.

The emperor suffered several strokes of anger due to Zhao Hong's incident, and lay in bed for several days without being able to get off the ground, declaring to the outside world that he was recuperating.

The serving eunuchs were always terrified every day, and whenever the emperor got upset, he would beat and scold him at every turn.

Even the queen mother didn't know about the emperor's condition.

Concubine De was the first one in the palace to know about the emperor's condition.

She came late with tears in her eyes, and lay down beside the emperor's bed, weeping bitterly.

The emperor hated women crying the most, so he rubbed his temples annoyed.

"Okay, don't cry, I'm not dead yet."

Concubine De wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter with you?"

The emperor sighed helplessly and said nothing.

Concubine De also closed her mouth tactfully, she naturally knew what was going on with the emperor in her heart.

She had been waiting for this day for a long time, and it was now.

The next day was bright, and the palace was full of concubines kneeling outside.

The eunuch was at a loss, and after persuading him for a long time, all the concubines did not go back.

The harem has not seen the emperor for seven or eight days.

Concubine Yin Gui cried loudly at the door: "Your Majesty, how can you spoil only Concubine De, wanting to be exposed to both rain and dew."

The emperor suddenly felt dizzy.

In the past, he was forced by civil officials to establish a prince, but now he is forced by the harem to favor him.

It doesn't matter if he, the emperor, doesn't do it.

The emperor was furious, and a mouthful of blood gushed out.

The emperor heard Concubine De's shout in a daze.

In a trance, he saw the Supreme Emperor.

The emperor's tears flowed from the corner of his eyes, he thought his life was over.

Seeing that the emperor lost consciousness, Concubine De wiped away the tears from her face.

She stood at the gate of the palace and said sternly: "The emperor needs to rest. If you still dare to make noise here, see if I can cure your crime."

Concubine Yin Gui was not convinced, and rushed forward to ask: "Why do you punish me? Everyone is an equal concubine, do you think that the position of empress must be yours?"

Concubine De slapped Concubine Yin on the face.

"Why? Just because my qualifications are older than you, just because I now have the power to rule the Sixth Palace. If you still dare to be presumptuous here, see if I can take your skin off?"

The others are all newcomers. Where have you seen such a battle?His body trembled in fright, and the sensible people retreated one after another.

Concubine Yin was deflated here, but the emperor refused to come out for a long time, and she was not easy to get angry, so she had to swallow her anger for the time being.

Concubine De stared at the great rivers and mountains in front of her, and finally made her wait for this day.

She smiled, thinking that the equal status was thanks to the respected empress, otherwise a mere concubine in this area really couldn't handle the imperial concubine.

Relying on the favor of the emperor back then, the empress changed the system of the harem into a mess, but everyone in the concubine position is the same, so there is no distinction between high and low.

Now that she has endured it for so many years, it is finally her and Zhao Xi's first day.

The prince must be Zhao Xi, and she must be the queen.

The commotion at the gate of Qianqing Palace naturally reached the ears of the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother was inconceivable when she heard that, in her impression Concubine De was never such an arrogant and domineering person, but now she seemed to be a different person, who she had never known before.
