"I know you don't believe me." Concubine Li smiled slightly, "But you have to know that what I say is not harmful to you, is it? As long as you help me detoxify, I will rescue you. The antidote, I believe this is not difficult for Yiluo sister."

"Okay, I promise you. But I still have one condition." Yi Luo glanced at Concubine Li, "I want you to save one more person."

"Concubine Ye?" Concubine Li slightly raised her eyebrows.

"Yes." Yi Luo looked at Concubine Li, "I believe that since Concubine Li can save me, she can also save Concubine Ye without anyone noticing, and the emperor will definitely not doubt you, right?"

Concubine Li thought for a while and nodded, "Okay, I will promise you this matter for now, and I will give you an answer after I discuss it with my father."

"Then Yiluo is not welcome. Thank you, Concubine Li, for your help, but there is still a problem. If I want to detoxify you, I must have a legitimate reason to go to the imperial dining room to find some medicinal materials that seem to be irrelevant to the poison you are suffering from." , otherwise it will arouse the emperor's suspicion at any time." Yiluo hopes to persuade Concubine Li to let her enter the imperial pharmacy, so that she can be sure to find anchovy ginseng. Inside the tall building.

"Sister Yiluo is really thoughtful." Concubine Li looked at Yiluo appreciatively, "I don't know if sister Yiluo can make me suffer from fever and weakness? If there is, and the imperial doctor is helpless, I'm afraid I will help you." Come out."

"It's easy." Yiluo smiled slightly, "Just apply needles to Concubine Li's acupoints, Yiluo can do it easily."

"Then we'll make a deal." Concubine Li and Yiluo looked at each other and smiled...

After returning to Qifeng Hall, Yi Luo quickly thought about it. Actually, for her, there was no conflict between her and Concubine Li, and now Concubine Li was willing to help her and needed her own help. This kind of mutually beneficial cooperative relationship would often be more reliable , Yiluo made up her mind to give it a go with the help of Concubine Li this time.

"Girl, do you really trust that woman?" Lan Yu was still a little worried after all.

Yiluo put down her pen, "Actually, it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. The important thing is that she really needs my help. Based on this alone, I can restrain her. She bets that I have a good heart and will definitely detoxify her."

"Then what if she regrets later?" Lan Yu was a little worried.

"Do you think I'll be stupid enough to detoxify her and not leave a way out for myself? As long as she dares to deceive me, I have many ways to poison her more." Yi Luo knew that when facing Concubine Li, This partnership must not be taken lightly.

"Girl, you have become a little..." Lan Yu didn't know what to say.

"A little cruel? A little sinister?" Yiluo knew what Lan Yu wanted to say, so she asked back.

"No, I didn't mean that, I just think that if it was in the past, you would never have saved someone." Lan Yu's voice was a little helpless, "But I know you are forced to do nothing, but unfortunately I can't do anything now .”

"It's okay, as long as I can get Phoenix-tailed Ginseng and save Mingzhu, and if Concubine Li doesn't play tricks, she won't be hurt." Yi Luo seemed to say it to Lan Yu, but it seemed more like she said it to herself.

On the second day, Imperial Concubine Li sent someone to bring some pastries to Yiluo, and there was a note on it that said: Agree to the conditions, please wait.Yi Luo smiled with satisfaction, it seems that Concubine Li's father, Lord Shang Shu, is considered to be a powerful and resourceful man in Donglin, she knew that Nangong Yuan would invite her to the Royal Pharmacy soon.

Sure enough, in the past two days, there have been rumors in the palace that Concubine Li has been sick for a long time after the water leakage incident in Lixiang Palace. Even the maids and eunuchs privately commented that this time must be the manifestation of the ancestors, and they used the calamity of fire to express their dissatisfaction with the emperor's current governance of the country. Dissatisfied with Zhidao, Concubine Li is the emperor's favorite concubine, and she is very likely to be the queen's candidate. The ancestors let her be sick to warn the emperor.

Although Nangong Yuan knew that these were all nonsense, but these rumors spread more and more, and became more and more evil. In the end, even outside the palace said that the emperor had conferred a demon girl as Concubine Dai that day. The ancestors were clearly dissatisfied. I'm afraid it's going to be bad.At this time, the mobilization of soldiers and horses of the Northern Qi near Qiye City became more and more frequent, and many long-distance merchants also spread the phenomenon in Lindu. Even if Nan Gongyuan didn't care, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty believed it.

"Report to the emperor, the final general arrested six to seventy people in Lindu and sent them to prison. They spread rumors in the city." It was the Admiral of Nine Gates who spoke, Nangong Yuan glanced at him lightly, "Cut."

"Hiss!" Hearing what he said, all the civil and military officials in the court gasped.

"Your Majesty, you absolutely must not do it. Rumors are spreading everywhere in Lindu. If the Emperor kills people at this time, I am afraid it will cause chaos." A civil servant hurriedly stepped forward and said.

"What? Spreading rumors to cause trouble, or use the former emperor to suppress me, do you think I shouldn't behead them?" Nangong Yuan squinted at the civil servant, "Does it even believe you?"

"The criminal minister dare not! The criminal minister dare not!" The civil official heard that his head might move at any time, so he dared to speak.

"Your Majesty, please listen to Weichen." It was a person who came out, Nangong Yuan looked at him slightly politely, "Uncle Emperor, please speak."

It turned out that this person was Nangong Yibo, Yiwang of Donglin. Back then he had brought people to Northern Qi, and later he fought with Ye Xijue and the others outside Yancheng. If it wasn't because Nangong Yuan was willing to negotiate peace with Northern Qi, he might have His old life was long gone. After that incident, Nangong Yibo didn't interfere much in political affairs, and gradually lost his prestige in the court.

"Your Majesty, killing people at this time will not help the matter, but will be criticized by others." Although Nangong Yibo was dissatisfied with the emperor's neglect of him, he would not wish to see the Nangong family's royal society destroyed.

"Weichen thinks that this matter can be remedied from the source." Nangong Yibo looked up at Nangong Yuan, his nephew is good at everything, but it's a pity that he is too bloodthirsty.

"Then... what does the emperor mean?" Nangong Yuan looked at Nangong Yibo.

"The reason why some rumors are spreading in Lindu is nothing more than two things. One is the inexplicable fire disaster in Lixiang Palace, and the other is that Concubine Li is sick and bedridden." Nangong Yibo paused, "If these two things can be resolved, it would not be difficult to stop the mouth of the rumor spreader."

"Uncle Huang said that as long as we can explain the fire in Lixiang Palace and cure Wanli at the same time, we can stop the rumors?" Nangong Yuan raised his eyebrows.
