Chapter 106 Conspiracy
  Emperor Jingwen glanced at the miserable sons kneeling outside, ignored them, and continued to correct the memorial.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Lin wishes to see you." Fulu bowed and whispered.

"Let her wait outside." After Emperor Jingwen finished speaking, he continued to read the memorial and marked it carefully, as if there was no such person as Guifei Lin.

Fulu went outside, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is dealing with urgent memorials sent from various places. I don't have time to see you for the time being. Please wait here for a moment."

Concubine Lin's eyes flashed with a stern look: "Fulu, are you acting as a treacherous person and not helping me pass the news? I have something urgent to see the emperor. Can you take the responsibility for delaying my affairs?"

A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of Fulu's lips: "My dear concubine, it's not that my servant didn't help you pass the message, it's that the emperor is really busy."

"You..." Concubine Lin was about to get angry, but Aunt Zhuang tugged at her clothes before swallowing what she was about to say.

The imps were difficult to deal with, and Fulu was in front of the emperor and could give them little shoes at any time. Concubine Lin had to endure it even if she couldn't bear it.

Concubine Lin glared at Fulu fiercely and said in her heart: You damn eunuch, I will tolerate you for the time being. When my son ascends the throne, I will be the first to deal with you.

Fulu pretended not to see Concubine Lin's eyes, bowed and stepped back with a smile.

An hour later, several princes had turned into snowmen. Even though they had internal power, they still felt the chill.

Concubine Lin, Concubine De, and Concubine Xian were in a hurry in the main hall next to the imperial study. Concubine Shu arrived belatedly at this time.

Concubine Lin said sarcastically: "Sister Concubine Shu is really big-hearted. King Jin has been kneeling outside for an hour, and you didn't come until now. You really don't feel sorry for King Jin at all. I feel sorry for King Jin."

Concubine Shu smiled softly and said: "Sister Guifei is joking. Prince Jin is my son, so I naturally feel sorry for him, but he deserves to be punished by the Emperor for making mistakes. Does it mean that Sister Guifei thinks that the Emperor is wrong?"

Concubine Shu's neither soft nor hard words made Concubine Lin so angry that she fell down. Moreover, she couldn't argue with her, so she could only swallow this secret loss with her teeth and blood.

At this moment, Fulu's high-pitched voice sounded outside the palace: "King Xuanqi, King Jin, King Ping, King Ning, Concubine Lin, Concubine Shu, Concubine Xian, Concubine De are here to see you..."

The eunuchs and guards quickly helped several princes into the royal study.

Emperor Jingwen glanced at them and said calmly: "This is the last time, and I will never be lenient if I do it next time." After that, he waved them out.

After waiting for so long, they were dismissed with just one sentence. Several concubines and princes were filled with hatred, but they had to kneel down and kowtow to express gratitude.

In the evening, Duke Zhen Guo, King Qi, the crown prince of Zhen Guo, Zhou Shaocheng, staff, and some officials who were attached to Duke Zhen were sitting in the study of Duke Zhen.

"Grandfather, we have suffered such a big loss today, can we just let it go?" King Qi's voice was nasal, and his head was a little dizzy. Today, he was kneeling outside the imperial study room and the cold air entered his body.

The Duke of Zhen is nearly seventy years old, with a silver beard and white hair, his face is full of wrinkles and age spots, and his eyes are as sharp as an eagle: "How is it possible? We have to play slowly with the emperor. We don't know who will win? Tomorrow we will call Our imperial censor is affiliated with several royalists, and I don’t believe that the emperor dares to protect them."

"Yes, I have a lot of evidence in my hand, enough for them to drink a pot."

The Duke of Zhenguo smiled sadly and said: "Oh, among the big families in Beijing, who doesn't have something shady? As long as we have solid evidence, the emperor will have no way to do anything to us. If he wants to be a wise king, he must have a wise king. Look."

"Yes, just do it." King Qi seemed to see his father's aggrieved compromise.

At this time, someone came forward and whispered a few words in the ear of Duke Zhen. After a while, a secret guard wearing black clothes and black trousers with his face covered came in. He was the leader of the secret guard who went to Lingnan to assassinate Xiao Yichen.

Duke Zhen Guo's eyes were like arrows: "Tell me what's going on? Why can't hundreds of secret guards kill Xiao Yichen?"

The leader of the secret guard told what happened without any expression on his face and his voice without a trace of emotion.

Duke Zhen Guo's eyes were as sharp as a knife: "Do you think Xiao Yichen has a very powerful poison, or a poison that will bleed to death as long as it is inhaled?"

"Yes! He spread the poison powder, and our people immediately bled to death from their orifices."

"Poison? How could he have poison? There is no one around Prince Zhaoming who understands poison, and there is no one around the emperor. Where did he get the poison? Why haven't I heard of it before." There was a cold light in Zhen Guogong's sharp eyes.

King Qi's eyes darkened slightly, "I have never heard of him having poison. Did he have a chance encounter and get the poison recently?"

Zhou Shaocheng doubted: "The last Lingnan plague, it is said that the prescription to cure the plague was given by a miracle doctor named Shen. Could it be that she made the poison?"

"Is it possible? Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why Xiao Yichen suddenly had poison?" one of the staff said.

"This so-called Miracle Doctor Shen must be eliminated, otherwise he will definitely become a serious problem for us." King Qi said coldly.

"The problem is that we don't know whether Doctor Shen is a boy, a girl, old or young. How can we get rid of him? The guards who accompanied Xiao Yichen to fight the epidemic last time have all been promoted. Other officials have also been beaten by the emperor and Xiao Yichen. Who will Revealing the news? And she was the biggest contributor to the last plague, and many people have received her favor. If we send people to Lingnan to inquire, they will probably be discovered before we even get the information." One of the officials said.

There was silence in the room for a moment. What the official said made sense. The emperor and Xiao Yichen wiped away the traces. They didn't even have the basic direction. It was really difficult to check.

After a long time, Zhou Shaocheng thought of King Qi's concubine's brother who had been a county magistrate in Liangxian County, "Your Majesty, Cao Chengbin has been locked up in the Liangxian cell by Xiao Yichen for so long. Will he know the details of Divine Doctor Shen?"

Duke Zhen Guo's sharp eyes shot towards King Qi fiercely, and King Qi's body shook involuntarily. Last time, King Qi was reprimanded by Emperor Jingwen because of Cao Chengbin, and then he was reprimanded by Duke Zhen Guo.

Duke Zhen Guo said in a deep voice: "Immediately send people to find out where Cao Chengbin is exiled, and ask him who the divine doctor Shen is? Then send some people to find the Poison King, and ask him to make some antidote pills."

"Yes." One of the staff responded.

"Send more people in Lingnan to keep an eye on him. As long as there is a chance, we will kill Xiao Yichen immediately." Zhen Guogong said coldly.

"Grandpa, my father just warned us today, would it be bad for us to send people to Lingnan?" King Qi asked hesitantly.

"Women's kindness! Whose emperor's path is not filled with blood?" Zhen Guo Gong said angrily.

"Yes, my grandson listens to his grandfather." King Qi shrank his neck and replied.

On the other side, the same drama was going on in Prince Ping's Mansion. Duke Ping did not blame Prince Ping at all for secretly sending people to Lingnan to assassinate Xiao Yichen, and he did not feel the slightest bit sad about the entire army of secret guards sent out being destroyed. After some discussion, everyone agreed and agreed. The King of Qi also sent people to Lingnan to pay close attention to Xiao Yichen, looking for opportunities to assassinate him at any time.

After discussing with Jiang Shoufu, King Jin planned to invite an assassin to join the battle.

Prince Ning, like Prince Ping, sent people to Lingnan to pay close attention to Xiao Yichen's whereabouts and be ready to take action at any time.
