Rebirth of the Miracle Doctor and Poison Concubine

Chapter 73 The King's Suspicion

Three months later.

In the imperial study in the palace, Zhao Yun's face was extremely gloomy, seeing that flattering villain flattering and flattering the emperor, he wished he could step forward and kick a few times.But in front of him, he could only clenched his fists secretly, held back the anger in his heart, and took a deep breath.

"Your Majesty, the drought in the south is severe now, and the common people are struggling to survive. If this delay continues..." Zhao Yun argued hard.

"What do you mean, son?" the king on the dragon chair asked lazily.

"What I mean is, the emperor, you should order to reduce taxes as soon as possible, open up the treasury, distribute food, and save the people's urgent need..." Zhao Yun said impatiently.

"No, Your Majesty, absolutely not..." the courtier beside the emperor said hastily.

"Master Li, what do you mean?" Zhao Yun gritted his teeth angrily.

"Oh?" The emperor looked very interested: "Why did Aiqing say that?"

With that expression and tone, Zhao Yun only felt a chill in his heart.

Sure enough, when Master Li saw this, he immediately shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, you don't know. The south is indeed dry, but this specific situation is far from what Prince Zhao said!"

"Why did you say that?" The emperor raised his eyebrows.

"Master Li, don't talk nonsense!" Zhao Yun was so annoyed that he couldn't wait to go forward and repair this guy who only needs to be flattered.

"My son, don't get excited!" Master Li said with a smile: "As long as your son has no other thoughts, why don't you wait for me to finish talking?"

"You..." Zhao Yun was momentarily depressed.

"Li Aiqing is right, don't worry, just listen to him." The emperor said calmly.

Zhao Yun was trembling with anger, he could clearly see a smug look on the corner of Li's mouth, but he could only clenched his fists secretly and stared blankly.

"Your majesty is wise." Master Li quickly said, "Actually, I have already sent people to the south to investigate. Although there is a drought in the south, there have been bumper harvests in the past few years. The food they have hoarded is enough for them to solve the drought by themselves." Problem. But these people just pretend to be refugees, I'm afraid they have ulterior motives!"

"Have ulterior motives?" The emperor's face changed drastically.

Master Li pretended to shake his head and sighed, and said hesitantly: "I'm afraid, I'm afraid..."

"Afraid of what?" the emperor asked sharply.

Master Li plopped on his knees, and said submissively: "I'm just afraid, I'm afraid that some people have ulterior motives."

Zhao Yun scolded furiously: "It's a bunch of nonsense, it's just a bunch of nonsense."

"My son..." Lord Li suddenly looked at him in horror.

Zhao Yun couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

Sure enough, the emperor suddenly sneered and said, "I don't know why your son reacted so strongly?"

"I..." Zhao Yun was speechless for a while.

He already knew what kind of person this Master Li was in front of him.However, he didn't expect that the emperor would question himself?
"Is it inconvenient for the son to speak? Or, have nothing to say?" Master Li took the opportunity to provoke.

"Stop talking nonsense." Zhao Yun snapped.

"My son..." Master Li lowered his voice.

"You..." Zhao Yun just wanted to speak.

The emperor sitting in the seat had already sneered and said: "In the past, there were always people who praised the son of King Zhao as young and promising in front of me, and dared to speak out, but I still didn't believe it. Now it seems that the son of Zhao Wang is really very tempered."

Zhao Yun only felt a chill in his heart.

"I don't dare." Zhao Yun could only bow his head and bow in spite of all the helplessness in his heart: "I just..."

"Forget it, you step back first!" The emperor waved his hand impatiently, not intending to listen to his explanation.

"Your Majesty..." Zhao Yun raised his head suddenly, trying to save something.

Displeasure had already appeared on the emperor's face.

Master Li at the side pretended to be considerate and said: "My son, it seems that the emperor is too tired today, why don't you go back first!"

The unconcealable schadenfreude at the corner of his mouth deeply hurt Zhao Yun's heart.Forget it, besides, it is unintentional.

Zhao Yun bowed disheartened, and said in a low voice, "I will take my leave."

The emperor closed his eyes, as if tired.Zhao Yun secretly clenched his fist again, feeling very sad in his heart.

"My son, go slowly." Master Li couldn't wait to send him off.

"Hmph." Zhao Yun couldn't hold back after all, let out an angry snort, and left with a flick of his sleeves.

As soon as he left the palace, Zhao Yun's personal bodyguard, Zhao Ying, greeted him.

"My lord, how is the situation?" Zhao Ying couldn't hide her concern.

This time, there was a severe drought in the south, and he and Shi Zi personally inspected it.He was originally a secret guard who should hide all his emotions, but the scene of corpses strewn all over the road moved his heart greatly.

Zhao Yun glanced at him lightly, with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, and laughed at himself: "Look at me like this, what good results can I have?"

"My son..." Zhao Ying frowned tightly.

"Now that this courtier is in power, the emperor has changed a lot." Zhao Yun shook his head helplessly.

"But my son, does the emperor not care about those miserable people at all?" Zhao Ying couldn't understand.

Zhao Yun closed his eyes and said: "Some things are not as simple as you think. He is an emperor above tens of thousands of people. He faces daily singing and dancing, flattery and flattery. Naturally, he can't imagine the tragic situation of the refugees. "

"Since that's the case, why didn't your son tell the emperor what we saw with our own eyes?" Zhao Ying continued to ask.

"How do you know I didn't say it?" Zhao Yun said lightly.

"Then..." Zhao Ying raised his eyebrows.

Zhao Yun suddenly opened his eyes, clenched his hands tightly, gritted his teeth and said, "But what if I say it? Even if I say thousands of words about the misery of the refugees, it's still not as good as those bastards' words of provocation."

"My lord, what do you mean?" Zhao Ying turned pale with shock.

Zhao Yun didn't explain, just sighed heavily, and said helplessly: "Forget it, it's useless to talk more!"

"Then what should we do now?" Zhao Ying couldn't hide her worry.He has been with Zhao Yun for so many years, so he naturally understands the meaning behind Zhao Yun's words.I'm afraid that if the refugee matter is not resolved, the emperor will be suspicious of the son instead.

"Let's take one step at a time!" Zhao Yun was in a state of confusion.

"The son wants to return to the palace now?" Zhao Ying asked tentatively.

Zhao Yun shook his head and ordered: "You go back first, I want to be alone for a while."

It wasn't until Zhao Ying walked away that Zhao Yun withdrew his gaze, turned around and walked in the direction of the Liu Mansion.

He wants to see her.

A few months ago, when he hurriedly went to the Liu Mansion to look for Liu Xiran, he only knew that she had gone wandering.Zhao Yun felt lost in his heart.Shouldn't she at least say goodbye to him?He took a gamble and deliberately didn't go to Liu's mansion.He wanted to come to him when she came back.However, several months have passed, but there has been no news.Not only did Liu Xiran not look for him, but even Liu Yun, who had always seen his affection, always seemed to be avoiding him.

Zhao Yun couldn't help but send someone to investigate, only to find out that such a big event happened to Liu's family during this period of time.Although Liu Yun was already trying his best to suppress this matter, but this is the capital, how could it be possible to hide the matter of Miss Liu's being defiled?

He doesn't like Liu Yanran, but he doesn't hate her either.When I heard such news, I couldn't help feeling a little pity in my heart.

However, when he learned that Liu Yanran actually left his sister's name when she was defiled, and tried to make Liu Xiran bear such a scandal for her, the only pity he had left suddenly disappeared.Fortunately, Liu Xiran was not in the Liu residence at that time.Otherwise, wouldn't he have suffered such humiliation in vain?
Even thinking about it, Zhao Yun felt lingering fears, and the original dissatisfaction disappeared, and he just waited quietly for her Yunyou to come back.At this moment, he really wanted to see her.Even, she didn't come back.But he still wanted to try his luck.With expectations in his heart, Zhao Yun couldn't help speeding up his pace.At this time, he didn't notice the slightest danger.

Inside the imperial study.

The emperor pinched the center of his eyebrows and said impatiently: "This son of King Zhao..."

Master Li glanced at the emperor's expression, and then said: "Your Majesty, I just heard some bad rumors outside the palace..."

"Rumor? What kind of rumor?" The emperor really couldn't wait to ask.

"Yes, it's about Prince Zhao's son." Lord Li lowered his head and lowered his voice.

"Oh?" The emperor raised his eyebrows, and his originally gloomy face became even more gloomy.

Mr. Li seemed to be full of courage, and said angrily: "My minister heard that the son of Prince Zhao took advantage of the so-called severe drought in the south to make a fuss. First, he personally investigated the people's situation, and then rescued the victims. Now, even the capital The reputation of King Zhao's son has been spread all over the place, praise him..."

"Praise him for what?" The emperor couldn't wait.

Lord Li lowered his head again, and said, "Praise him for being a talent for governing the country!"

"Bold!" The emperor landed a big palm on the desk.

"I'm guilty, I'm terrified." Master Li's forehead was pressed against the ground, but the corner of his mouth couldn't help but smile.

"What's your crime?" the emperor said angrily, "it's Zhao Yun who is guilty!"

"Your Majesty, in fact, I still have something to say..." Master Li glanced tentatively.

The emperor waved his hand and said, "I love you, but it's okay to say it."

Master Li said boldly: "My minister heard that this Prince Zhao secretly trained a team of his own..."

"Bold..." The emperor was furious.

Master Li knelt down with a 'plop', feeling uneasy.Although he realized that the emperor was already dissatisfied with Zhao Wangshizi, but he was not fully sure of the emperor's intentions.After all, this prince Zhao is a cousin who grew up with the emperor.If the emperor doesn't believe it, then he will be charged with arranging a royal family.

Master Li was in cold sweat.

After a long time, I heard the emperor say in a cold voice: "What a Zhao Yun, he is so ambitious."

Master Li breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly said: "Your Majesty, you have a kind heart, and you have always favored Zhao Wang's son. But I didn't expect that this son is not only ungrateful, but also..."

"Heh, I'm afraid he thinks that the name of my throne is unfair!" A glint of coldness flashed across the emperor's eyes.

Master Li was secretly delighted.He knew that today his goal had been achieved.

Some things, not mentioned, does not mean forgotten.People in this world have forgotten that as early as decades ago, when King Zhao and the first emperor fought together, the throne should have belonged to King Zhao.But at the beginning, King Zhao only wanted to be with the concubine, and he didn't care about the world, which made the first emperor cheaper.Although this period of history has been revealed after the first emperor ascended the throne, the emperor's family still has a lump in their hearts.What's more, now that the prestige of King Zhao's son gradually seems to be greater than that of the emperor, why is the emperor not on guard?

Master Li took the opportunity to say: "This minister is willing to help the emperor solve his worries and problems."

Sure enough, the emperor asked as expected: "Oh? I don't know what Li Aiqing can do?"

Master Li raised his head, gestured slowly towards his neck, and uttered a word viciously: "Kill..."
