Chapter 697 The Wind Rises 13
"The poisoned will gradually weaken over the course of March, and in the last half of the month, will show signs of typhoid fever."

Chai Xirong explained in detail to everyone: "March Ning showed symptoms of typhoid fever that ordinary doctors could not see."

Zhao Kuangyin's brows relaxed a little when he heard this.

The imperial physician should not have betrayed him.

Zhao Kuangyin: "Is it possible?"

Chai Xirong: "Yes. I will prepare the antidote for you right away."

After saying this, he bowed and left the study.

Liu Shu followed him out and gave the space to Zhao Kuangyin and Liu Ke.

Liu Shu had no idea what the two were discussing.

Anyway, he had secretly reminded Liu Ke and exposed Zhao Guangyi's ambition.

After this, the court and the harem were peaceful and nothing happened.

However, a month later, the emperor's third brother Zhao Guangyi suddenly fell ill.

The imperial physician diagnosed that he had a cold and prescribed medicine for him.

But Zhao Guangyi's illness did not get better, and he died half a month later.

The emperor was so grief-stricken and angry over the death of his own brother that he began to vent his anger on other people.

Many of the palace servants who served Zhao Kuangyin were dealt with by the emperor, and none of them survived.

The imperial physician who had treated Zhao Guangyi was also killed by Zhao Kuangyin on the charge of being a mediocre doctor and harming patients and performing his duties poorly.

At the same time, the court also underwent major changes.

Many officials were demoted, and some were even thrown into jail.

The evidence presented by the emperor was sufficient to prove that none of these people were innocent.

But the smart people in the court discovered that these officials were very close to Zhao Guangyi.

It can be said that those officials were all from Zhao Guangyi's faction.

When Zhao Guangyi was still alive, he was trying to win over officials in various ways.

All the smart people in the court could see Zhao Guangyi's ambition and knew that he was interested in that position.

It seems that the emperor could not tolerate Zhao Guangyi's ambition and took action against him.

I just don’t know whether Zhao Guangyi really died of illness.

It’s terrifying when you think about it. It’s terrifying when you think about it.

The officials lowered their heads and were extremely honest.

Didn’t you see that the Prime Minister was dismissed by the Emperor?

Prime Minister Zhao Pu is the emperor's right-hand man and good friend.

result……

Zhao Kuangyin sighed to Liu Ke: "I didn't expect Zhao Pu to betray me."

Liu Ke: "Human desires are hard to satisfy."

Zhao Kuangyin: "But I have already given him a lot."

Liu Ke: "He felt it wasn't enough."

Zhao Kuangyin sighed.

After a while, Zhao Kuangyin recovered a little and said, "This time I have to thank Xi Rang, but I don't know how to reward him."

Chai Xirang was already a prince, so it was impossible for him to get a higher title.

As for real power, Zhao Kuangyin would not give it.

money?

Liu Yuyan's dowry made Zhao Kuangyin drool with envy, so how could Chai Xirang care about money?

In the end, Zhao Kuangyin gave Chai Xirang another title.

It was not given to him personally, but to Chai Xirang's son.

Chai Xirang's eldest son inherited his title of king, and another son could inherit the title.

Chai Xirang didn't like staying in Kaifeng, even though after the poisoning incident, Zhao Kuangyin lifted the secret surveillance on him.

But Chai Xirang did not like the days of intrigue in the capital, nor did he like the behavior of his few surviving brothers who dragged him to miss Chai Rong and hinted that he should ask the Liu family to help them restore their country. Chai Xirang liked the days of wandering around outside with his wife.

Not long after, he was the first to suggest continuing to go to sea.

Liu Yuyan agreed with both hands and feet, so Liu Shu naturally had no objection.

Liu Ke and Zhou Ehuang also agreed. The children were not young anymore, so Liu Ke taught the three children internal skills.

As a result, the three children are in good health and rarely get sick.

The two decided to go out to sea with their three children.

The reason why Zhou Ehuang didn't want to stay in the capital was also because of the existence of Concubine Zhou.

Xiao Zhouhou recognized Zhou Ehuang.

No, it should be said that she recognized Haruyuki.

Chunxue, who disappeared inexplicably in the Later Tang Palace, appeared next to a woman who looked very similar to her sister. What was the identity of that woman?
——After arriving in Kaifeng, Zhou Ehuang no longer made things difficult for herself and painted her face to look less like herself.

——The people in Kaifeng all saw the true appearance of Zhou Ehuang.

Think about who Zhou Ehuang’s current husband is?
He was Zhou Ehuang's original fiancé. If nothing had happened to the Liu family, Zhou Ehuang would have married Liu Ke long ago.

I heard that the two were childhood sweethearts, and their relationship must be better than hers with Li Yu.

Xiao Zhouhou figured it out and realized that the one who died was not her biological sister, but Madam Liu.

At the beginning, Zhou Ehuang asked someone to be her substitute. She ran out of the palace and eloped with Liu Ke.

Xiao Zhouhou couldn't help but feel sorry for her man, as Zhou Ehuang actually cuckolded Li Yu.

But now he and Li Yu have become prisoners, while Liu Ke and Zhou Ehuang are the emperor's most trusted nobles.

How they fought against Liu Ke and Zhou Ehuang.

Even if she revealed Zhou Ehuang's identity, no one would make things difficult for her.

After all, Queen Zhou of Southern Tang was indeed dead.

Rather than offending Zhou Ehuang, it is better to make friends with Zhou Ehuang by relying on her status as a sister, so that she and Liu Ke will feel guilty about her and Li Yu, and then take care of them.

Therefore, Xiao Zhouhou often went to Liu Mansion.

Zhou Ehuang really disliked her and Li Yu.

Guilt?

nonexistent.

Not to mention that she was forced to break off her engagement with Liu Ke and marry into the palace because of the instigation of Xiao Zhouhou's mother. If Li Yu had married a wife but was still intimate with other women, Zhou Ehuang would not regard Li Yu as her husband.

You said that Li Yu was the emperor, so it was normal for him to have three palaces and six courtyards?
For Zhou Ehuang, she didn't care whether her husband was an emperor or an ordinary person, she only cared that her husband was loyal to her.

Liu Ke will only have her as a woman in his life, so naturally she will be loyal to Liu Ke all her life.

Zhou Ehuang would not help Xiao Zhouhou and Li Yu. She was really annoyed with Xiao Zhouhou.

Go out to sea, so you don’t have to see Xiao Zhouhou’s ugly face every day.

Chunxue naturally followed Zhou Ehuang. Wherever Zhou Ehuang went, she went too.

She also had to help Zhou Ehuang take care of her three children.

It can be said that Chunxue took care of these three children of the Liu family and brought them up with great care.

The three children are also very close to her.

Zhao Kuangyin personally sent the Liu family out of the city as he was reluctant to let them leave.

After he ascended the throne, the only person who could interact with him in a normal manner was Liu Ke.

Zhao Kuangyin: "Third brother, how long will it take for you to come back?"

Liu Ke looked at his brother.

Liu Shu calculated the voyage and said, "About three to five years."

Zhao Kuangyin: "So long? Can't you come back earlier?"

Liu Shu took out a blueprint and stuffed it into Zhao Kuangyin's hand.

Zhao Kuangyin asked in confusion: "What is this?"

Yanagi: "A sea chart leading to the gold mine."

"What?" Zhao Kuangyin was shocked. He didn't bother to keep Liu Ke and focused on the sea chart.
