Chapter 205 The most poisonous woman’s heart
Gu Yu: "..."

Jade Concubine, the biological mother of the Ninth Prince.

According to the information she got from secret sources in the palace, if it hadn't been for this coup, no one would have thought that the people who were hiding deeply were the Jade Concubine and the fifteen-year-old Ninth Prince.

The Wu Shi Powder mentioned by Han He just now is a kind of elixir whose main ingredients include stalactite, amethyst quartz, white quartz, stone sulfur, red stone resin, etc.

In many dynasties, it was once popular in the world and was regarded as an elixir that could prolong life and strengthen the body.

In fact, after taking Wushi Powder, the body may experience symptoms such as fever, excitement, and trance.

Taking it for a long time will also cause the body to become dependent, causing the toxicity of the drug to slowly invade the body, leading to the deterioration of the body's health.

Not only that, some ingredients in Wushi Powder may cause serious damage to the body's internal organs, cause a series of difficult and complicated diseases, and even directly threaten life safety.

What's even more troublesome is that the emperor is not an ordinary person, but the overlord of the world. The emperor's health problems will have an impact on the political stability of the G family.

A weak king may not be able to effectively govern the country, and power may fall to the side, causing political disputes and social unrest. The desire to pursue immortality may have caused the emperor to become obsessed with elixirs and ignore the practical problems of the G family, leading to the decline of the G family.

To sum up, the harm caused by the emperor's taking Wushi Powder is multi-faceted. It not only damages the emperor's health, but may also affect the stability and development of the G family.

This also serves as a warning to people that they should be rational in their pursuit of health and longevity and not blindly believe in elixirs or other so-called miraculous drugs.

The jade concubine dared to feed such things to the superior. She obviously had ulterior motives and had no intention of making the emperor a wise king.

Uh... In fact, even if Zhou Tianchen didn't swallow the Five Stone Powder, he probably wouldn't be called a wise king.

Otherwise, how could the queen order someone to secretly poison the emperor?
It’s still that colorless and odorless arsenic!
Once this highly toxic substance was mixed into food or drinking water and ingested by the old emperor, the consequences would be unimaginable.

You should know that arsenic may not be easily noticed if taken in small amounts, but if it accumulates for a long time, it will inevitably make the body worse, cause adverse reactions such as dizziness, vomiting, diarrhea, and may even directly lead to death.

It's a pity that all the Queen's deliberate efforts ended up being taken advantage of by the concubine.

Taking advantage of the fact that the prince had not yet returned to the palace and the princes who were expected to ascend to the throne were neglecting their precautions, they decisively joined forces with their mother clan and ministers from all sides to successfully take control of the entire palace.

Now, the old emperor is dying, and the palace is full of smoke. He asked: "How is the eldest sister doing in the palace? Did the prince mention when he will return?"

Han He gently stroked the beard on his chin and replied calmly: "After Jade Concubine gained power, she tried to quietly execute your eldest sister, but as long as your eldest brother, me and others are around, Jade Concubine will never be able to move. Your eldest sister is nothing like a hair on your head.”

He paused and then said: "The situation in the palace is complicated right now. It can be divided into the party headed by your eldest sister, the other party where the Jade Concubine and the Ninth Prince are allied with several ministers, and the Sixth Prince and the Seventh Prince are allied by the Jade Concubine. They sent people to imprison her in a palace outside the palace, but the power they have worked hard for many years is so intricate that it is far beyond what a woman from a ninth-grade official family can contend with. "

Jade Concubine's background is not good, and her family doesn't have many talented people. It's difficult to plot everyone.

Han He looked at the door and continued: "The people guarding the door are the people of the six and seven princes."

Thinking of the current tense situation in the palace, Han He couldn't help but sigh deeply: "On the surface, the most intense fight in the palace is between these two factions. In fact, there are several other concubines with dragon descendants. , they are also using endless tricks behind the scenes." After a pause, Han He comforted: "But your eldest sister's side is strong, so there shouldn't be much danger at the moment."

The last time Gu Yu entered the palace, he gave most of his contacts to Han He. Han He transferred some of his connections in the palace and court to the queen.

Although the situation in the palace is currently chaotic, with the protection of these people, the queen has at least a 30% chance of winning.

While Gu Yu was deep in thought, Han He continued: "If you receive a letter from the crown prince, you will be able to return to the capital in two days at the latest."

The prince is actually going to arrive in Beijing in two days?
Gu Yu and Han Yili looked at each other, and then Han He continued: "Many assassins were sent from the palace to assassinate the prince, and many people were killed along the way. When the prince returns to Beijing this time, it will definitely be difficult for him to enter the city safely."

"Besides, Concubine Jade showed the emperor's edict of succession, indicating that the emperor wanted to pass the throne to the ninth prince. In this case, if the prince wants to enter the city, he can only lead an army to attack."

Gu Yu understood the meaning of Han He's words.

In other words, the Jade Concubine and her son hold the old emperor's edict of succession in their hands, while the sixth and seventh princes have equal or even greater power than their mother and son.

If he wants to enter the city, the prince must lead his army and charge in.

Nowadays, the palace and the city seem to be controlled by the princes, but in fact the Han family and the queen are secretly planning a lot. The prince will inevitably encounter a bloody battle on his way back to the city, but he still has a certain advantage.

Gu Yu originally wanted to say that if she was needed, she could let him know at any time, but then she thought that since the prince had the support of her and the Han family, as long as he could return to the capital safely, he would definitely be able to ascend the throne.

The Han family was already extremely powerful in the court. When the prince ascended the throne and became emperor, he might initially feel grateful for the kindness of his mother's family.

In order to consolidate their rule and control their subjects and people, feudal rulers would decisively eradicate dissidents when necessary.

The Han family is responsible for the crown prince ascending to the throne.

Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. She doesn't know if the new emperor will wield his sword to attack the person who was the best to him as time goes by.

Therefore, she decided to continue to keep a low profile and quietly act as the backing and retreat for the two families. This was undoubtedly the wisest choice.

Next, she no longer asked about the specific action plan after the prince's return, but asked Han Yili and Han He to continue to discuss the development of the current situation in depth.

From time to time, I would chat with Mr. Ye. Ye asked curiously: "I heard that Wanrou came back with you and Yili?"

The Wanrou that Ye mentioned was the Queen Mother.

Gu Yuze replied casually: "Yes, the two children are in poor health. It might not be appropriate to leave the Queen Mother and Yun Rong alone in Baofu Temple. After all, Wang He and Yun Rong have dealt with me before. "It seems unreasonable not to bring the Queen Mother and the others with me this time."

Wang He once worked in Linfeng County. When Ye checked on Gu Yu, he knew that Gu Yu and Wang He knew each other.

Although the relationship between the Wang and Han families was not harmonious on the surface, after Ye heard these words, she secretly thought in her heart: "I have long heard that the twins born by Wang He and Yun Rong were weak and sickly. Since you and Yili We are all familiar with them, so it would be a good arrangement for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to return with you. "
