Chapter 48
The imperial palace, Ganlu Hall.

The bright moonlight crept in through the windows and coffins of the high hall. Only in the brightly lit hall could one see such a glimmer of moonlight in the small and dark corners.

Emperor Chen was writing a pen review on a memorial. The wide-sleeved uniform with black gold threads made his figure even thinner. His cheeks were slightly sunken and his eyes were gloomy.

The great eunuch Hong Xi stood beside him respectfully with his head bowed. He was also holding a small ebony box in his hand.

It wasn't until the last memorial was approved that Emperor Chen let out a long sigh of relief, put down his pen, and said to Hong Xi, "Okay, take all these memorials."

Hong Xi said yes and looked back at the two little eunuchs beside the pillar. The little eunuchs understood, and they stepped forward and moved all the folding papers off the table together.

Seeing Emperor Chen leaning tiredly on the back of his chair, rubbing his eyebrows irritably, Hong Xi took two steps forward and said with a flattering smile, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Master has just arrived."

Emperor Chen paused slightly as he rubbed his eyebrows, looked at Hong Xi with some surprise and said, "Is the Imperial Master out of seclusion?"

Hong Xi nodded, then presented the small ebony box in front of Emperor Chen with both hands, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty was busy when the Imperial Preceptor came over, so the Imperial Preceptor went back and just asked the servant to give this elixir to His Majesty."

As soon as he heard the word elixir, Emperor Chen couldn't help but sit up slightly. Hong Xi saw that he was busy and said with a flattering smile, "I also heard from the imperial master that this elixir can help your majesty to be a hundred times more energetic, and it can also make you more energetic." Your Majesty will get a glimpse of the secrets faster."

As soon as Hong Xi's voice fell, Emperor Chen glanced at him, frowned and said displeased, "Why are you talking about such an important thing now?"

Hong Xi lowered his hand and replied, "You deserve to die."

Emperor Chen looked at Hong Xi's respectful attitude and said nothing more. He just waved his hand and said, "This tea is not suitable for supplementing medicine. You can go get me some hot water."

Hong Xi responded and hurriedly greeted the little eunuch below to go to the tea room.

When Hong Xi came back with hot water, Emperor Chen cut off a small piece of the elixir and gave it to him.After another half a moment, when he saw Hong Xi still standing there full of energy, Emperor Chen took the remaining elixir and swallowed it with water.

After the elixir entered his abdomen, within a moment, Emperor Chen felt a stream of heat slowly gush out from his Dantian and flow to his limbs. The fatigue just now was almost wiped away.

Emperor Chen couldn't help but feel delighted, "This elixir is good, but was it made by the imperial master in seclusion recently?"

Hong Xi replied, "In reply to Your Majesty, the Imperial Master did not explain how this medicine was prepared. He only said that this medicine is so powerful that it takes ten and a half months to take one pill."

Emperor Chen felt the fire burning in his body and nodded with approval, "Go to my private treasury to get the thousand-year-old ginseng and send it to the Imperial Master, saying it was a reward from me."

Hong Xi responded, and was about to do it himself, when Emperor Chen said calmly, "I still have something to ask you."

The little eunuch on the side heard this and said to Hong Xi, "Godfather, why not just let me go."

Hong Xi glanced at him, nodded, and said a few more words. The young eunuch bowed before going out of the palace.

Soon, only Chen Di and Hong Xi were left in the hall.

After a long silence, Emperor Chen played with a jade pendant in his hand and said softly, "What's going on... over there?"

Although these words were a bit confusing, Hong Xi, as someone who has been with Emperor Chen for many years, understood them immediately.

He bowed down and replied, "To answer your Majesty's question, His Royal Highness Prince Huai was picked up by people from the Queen Mother's side not long after he lay down and left the palace. He stayed for about half an hour before His Highness Prince Huai returned to the palace."

"But after His Highness Prince Huai entered the mansion, the spies no longer dared to follow him, so what happened in the mansion..."

When Hong Xi said this, he quickly glanced at Emperor Chen. Seeing that Emperor Chen had no expression on his face, Hong Xi hurriedly withdrew his eyes and continued, "Not long after that, the eldest lady of the Su family came out and returned to the house. After that, There is no more movement in Prince Huai's Mansion."

Emperor Chen lowered his eyes and continued to play with the jade pendant in his hand, without speaking for a long time.

Last time, a new spy was ignorant and touched the study of his younger brother. As a result, the entire Prince Huai Palace came out and beat him half to death before sending him to the palace.

As soon as he thought of this, Emperor Chen's expression turned gloomy.

The spy, whose nose and face were so bruised and swollen that he couldn't get out of bed for three months, felt as if he had been slapped hard in the face.

His little royal brother seemed to be telling him that he knew everything he did, but he chose to remain silent, warning him not to push himself too far.

Emperor Chen suddenly clenched his hands, and the jade pendant made his palms red and white.

What he hates the most... is Li Xuanzhi's face!
He is obviously a young boy who refuses to suffer even a little bit and wants to be a head above him in everything, but he always pretends that he has suffered a lot of injustice for him and the people of Dachen but does not say anything about it.

Over the years, not only has his mother become more and more distant from him, but he also always feels that the ministers below look at him a little strangely.

Only this time... we should be absolutely sure, but why did the eldest lady of the Su family just appear there and save Li Xunzhi? !
This also gave Li Xuanzhi the opportunity to jump on his face and step on him, forcing him to punish Wanjia...

Could it be that his imperial brother has already joined forces with Mrs. Su?

Emperor Chen felt that his body was getting hotter and hotter. He dropped the jade pendant, picked up the herbal tea on the table and drank it in one gulp.

Drinking the herbal tea made Emperor Chen's spiritual platform a little clearer.

No, it won’t, it’s quite unlikely…

Back then, Mrs. Su chose him from among the three, and later she pretended to be deaf and dumb about him poisoning him. And today, his little imperial brother came to visit Miss Su generously to thank Miss Su for saving her life.

Based on his understanding of Mrs. Su and the emperor's younger brother, if he could act so generously, the possibility of the two of them joining forces would not be too great.

When he thought of this, Emperor Chen's expression softened slightly.

Hong Xi looked at Emperor Chen's uncertain expression from the side, and with some understanding in his heart, he lowered his hands and stood aside, holding back his breath.

Emperor Chen paused for a moment and then spoke again, "Hong Xi, you said before that Prince Huai helped the eldest lady of the Su family at the Tu Lin Banquet, and he even did not hesitate to risk his own reputation?"

Hong Xi bowed in agreement and said with a smile, "His Royal Highness Prince Huai said that he was in love with Miss Su, but he was rejected."

Emperor Chen snorted, "That's strange. There have been so many girls around him since he was a child, and I haven't seen him fall in love with that girl."

Hong Xi thought for a while and said with a smile, "Maybe it's because the pomegranate flowers bloomed more beautifully this year than in previous years. I heard that there were several couples at the Tu Lin Banquet."

As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Chen's expression was slightly startled, and his heart moved, "Little Emperor, he is already this year, right?"

"Back to His Majesty, yes."

Chen Di turned his head to look at Hong Xi, while his chief eunuch just stood there respectfully with his hands down.

After a long time, Emperor Chen said calmly, "Hong Xi, go find someone to collect all the things about Miss Su for me, down to the smallest detail. Do you understand?"

"Yes, I will find someone to do it right now."

 Dangdang, the important person appears!
