The emperor just doesn't treat everyone equally, and it's none of my business!
Chapter 250 Beating
Lu Junze did go to take a bath, and was also listening to the news.
Ever since he entered the Cining Palace and heard the Empress Dowager trying to send people to him, he knew that this was definitely not the Empress Dowager's intention, but the Concubine Dowager's. The Empress Dowager was willing to cooperate with the Concubine Dowager, but she must have been threatened by the Concubine Dowager.
There is no leverage over the Queen Mother; her only weakness is her children.
The Queen Mother's child Lu Junze was granted the title of King of Qin. His fiefdom was relatively wealthy. Over the years, the King of Qin had always been law-abiding and had not done anything out of line.
"So the Xian King poisoned the Qin King? The Concubine Dowager used this to threaten the Queen Mother?" Lu Junze said to Tian Lin.
This was the news just sent back by people from the King of Qin's fiefdom. Because they were one step slower than the concubine's people, Lu Junze was caught off guard.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Tianlin nodded. He had just received the news and came over to report it immediately.
"The virtuous king is really capable. He actually thought of poisoning the king of Qin." The king of Qin was not Lu Junze's main surveillance target, so he was a little lax about that. Who knew that this would give the virtuous king such a big loophole.
"Your Majesty, what should we do now?" Tian Lin asked.
Although the Queen Mother has always helped the Emperor, the Prince of Qin is her biological child, so it is not certain what the Queen Mother will do next.
"Don't panic. The Queen Mother is a smart person. You can tell from her actions today." Lu Junze was not worried about the Queen Mother. If you underestimate her, you will suffer.
"Do you know what kind of poison the King of Qin was poisoned with?" Lu Junze asked.
"Your Majesty, we don't know what kind of poison the King of Qin was poisoned with, but the person who was monitoring the King of Qin also brought back the poison when he reported back." The people trained by Lu Junze are not comparable to ordinary secret guards. They think about things more comprehensively, such as this matter.
Lu Junze nodded in appreciation and said, "Give the blood to Song Jibai and ask him to prepare the antidote as soon as possible."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After Tianlin left, Lu Junze called Su Deyuan and the commander of the imperial guards in, but Lu Junze didn't speak since Su Deyuan and the commander of the imperial guards came in.
Su Deyuan and the commander of the imperial guards knelt on the ground, feeling the emperor's piercing cold gaze. They felt cold all over and dared not move.
After a long while, Su Deyuan could no longer kneel, and then he heard Lu Junze say, "A person came into the palace. You, the commander of the imperial guards and the chief eunuch, don't even know when the person came in?"
"Your Majesty, I, your humble servant, admit my guilt." The commander of the imperial guards and Su Deyuan said loudly.
There were many people coming to the palace to attend the ceremony today. Most of the ministers brought their wives or children with them. They really didn't notice when Feng Xi came in.
Lu Junze also knew what happened today. He didn't want to punish the two of them, but since the incident had happened, he still needed to give them a warning.
"Okay, go check and see who Feng Xi entered the palace with today." Lu Junze said. He didn't realize that there were ministers in the previous dynasty who colluded with the wise king so blatantly. It seemed that he was too tolerant.
Lu Junze smiled, and the commander of the imperial guards and Su Deyuan looked at each other with sympathy in their eyes. It seemed that someone was going to be unlucky again, but it was all their own fault.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The two responded.
This is not too difficult. As long as Feng Xi came in through the palace gate, they will be able to find out who Feng Xi came in with.
After giving the instructions, Lu Junze did not stay long and returned to the East Hall.
Looking at Feng Xilu who was lying on the ground, there was no emotion in Lu Junze's eyes. He took a quick look and then lay down on the bed to sleep.
If you are poisoned by this incense, you will not wake up until at least the morning hour tomorrow.
Feng Xi had planned everything, but he hadn't expected that Lu Junze didn't care about people's appearance at all. If he really cared about appearance, he wouldn't like Gu Shijin and ignore the former imperial concubine.
……
In Chenhua Palace, when Lu Junze went to Cining Palace, she received the message. She didn't think much about it. Anyway, the emperor couldn't live in Cining Palace. She thought that the emperor would come back if she waited for a while. As a result, she waited for a long time but there was no news of the emperor leaving Cining Palace.
"Your Majesty..." Xingyue looked at Gu Shijin with some worry. The emperor hadn't come yet, so he probably wouldn't come.
"Lock the palace gates and take a rest." Gu Shijin said with a smile.
Lu Junze probably stayed in the Cining Palace for something, so she didn't have to wait any longer.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Xingyue and Xingzhu looked at each other, a trace of regret flashed in their eyes. If they had known earlier, they would not have told them that the emperor was coming.
"Don't worry, I'm really fine." Gu Shijin saw the emotions of the two and couldn't help but say.
Not to mention that she didn't have much romantic affection for Lu Junze, even if she did, she wouldn't think too much about Lu Junze staying in the Cining Palace.
But Gu Shijin didn't expect to be slapped in the face early the next morning.
There was no need to go to Fengyi Palace to pay respects to the Queen these few days, so Gu Shijin always got up late. Unexpectedly, when she got up, the harem of Da Xia had changed completely.
"Empress, you're awake." Xingzhu walked in when she heard the noise.
"Yeah." Gu Shijin rubbed his eyes, which still felt a little uncomfortable, and nodded perfunctorily.
"Okay, Your Majesty..." Xingzhu wanted to say something, but seeing the Your Majesty's current state, Xingzhu held back and decided to tell the Your Majesty later. Anyway, things had already happened.
Xingzhu tried to hold back, but Xingyue was the type who couldn't help herself.
"Your Majesty, you may not know yet, but the Emperor has appointed a new Concubine Zhaoyi." Xingyue said.
"Ah, Zhaoyi, if you want to seal her title, then seal it..." Gu Shijin raised her head, and the last bit of sleepiness she felt was gone. She looked at Xingyue and said, "Zhaoyi?"
Yesterday, the six palaces were conferred titles, and there was not one Zhaoyi in the palace.
"Who did the emperor promote to the rank of Zhaoyi?" Gu Shijin thought it was someone in the harem before.
"Your Majesty, neither of them is her. She's a newcomer. It is said that she is the niece of the Empress Dowager." Xingyue said somewhat dissatisfiedly.
"And the emperor stayed in the Cining Palace yesterday, and it is said that he has favored Feng Zhaoyi." Xingyue continued.
Gu Shijin had looked indifferent just now, but now her expression had changed, but only for a moment, and then she returned to normal. She smiled and said, "It's normal for the emperor to want to appoint a concubine. There's nothing to be surprised about."
"But..." Xingyue wanted to say something, but Xingzhu couldn't help but kicked her lightly. Didn't you see that something was wrong with the queen?
Fortunately, Xingyue was not completely stupid. After Xingzhu's reminder, she reacted and shut up.
"Xingzhu, ask Xiao Linzi to find out about this Concubine Feng." Gu Shijin said.
"Yes, Madam." Xing Zhu said, "I have asked Xiao Linzi to inquire about it. I think there will be news soon. Madam, don't worry."
"Well, I am confident that you can handle the matter."
