I traveled through time and space and encountered a famine, and I became a hermit.

After getting the emperor's permission, Concubine Lin ordered someone to serve tea to His Majesty.

She patiently served the emperor tea before urging him to rest.

The emperor could not bear the coquettishness of his beloved concubine, so he had to put the opera boy aside and move him to the nearby palace.

After Concubine Lin settled the emperor, she went to check on the tea in the room before leaving.

When he arrived outside the palace, he did not see Eunuch Pei. There was only a silly, thin, and cowardly eunuch guarding the door.

Concubine Lin's face was filled with disdain, and she impatiently asked the eunuch at the door, "I'm going back. Why hasn't Eunuch Pei returned to serve His Majesty yet?"

"Reply... reply... Empress Lin, our master just finished drinking the lotus seed soup that His Majesty gave him, and the food box and bowls and chopsticks were taken away by our master to wash. Our master is scolding us in the back now. I will call our master back to serve His Majesty." The little eunuch said nervously.

When Concubine Lin heard that the food boxes and dishes were washed, she lost interest in other things.

He just confirmed with the eunuch again: "Have the food boxes and dishes been cleaned?"

"Replying to Concubine Lin, my master is extremely filial to my master's father and washes the dishes and chopsticks thoroughly.

I saw it with my own eyes, it was so clean that it could even reflect a person’s reflection!

However, the bowls and chopsticks were given to His Majesty by Concubine Lin, and the master's uncle felt that only by washing them himself could he show respect, so he scolded the master.

"Your Majesty, are you leaving? I will fetch it for you." The young eunuch said respectfully and flatteringly, waiting for Concubine Lin's order before taking action.

Concubine Lin glanced at the emperor's bedroom, pretending to be worried about his majesty, and scolded the young eunuch, "Fool! Who will guard his majesty when you leave?"

Upon hearing this, the young eunuch shrank even further from his already hunched body.

At this moment, Eunuch Pei came over quickly with a food box in his hand, bowing with a smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. It's all my fault. I just cleaned the food box. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long." Eunuch Pei said with a flattering smile on his face. While bowing and apologizing, he respectfully opened the food box and presented it.

Concubine Lin lowered her eyes and took a quick look. It was indeed clean, and she felt relieved.

While waving his hand to signal the maid not to go and get it, he said impatiently: "Don't be polite, how can it be used by His Majesty after it has been used by you servants? I will reward you.

Oh, by the way, I have already waited on His Majesty and have let him rest. Eunuch Pei should also serve His Majesty with more dedication!"

Concubine Lin gave Eunuch Pei instructions with an arrogant look and earnest words.

"Yes! Your Majesty is right! I will do my best! I thank Your Majesty Linfei for the reward!" Eunuch Pei thanked her happily, with a cautious and proud look on his face.

Even the disciples behind him looked happy for their master.

Princess Lin looked at the short-sighted eunuchs in front of her with contempt in her heart.

This Eunuch Pei is nothing special. He can become the chief eunuch simply by relying on the relationship of growing up with His Majesty.

Thinking that the purpose of her trip had been achieved, she suddenly felt bored and ignored them, returning to her palace with her maid.

The next morning, after the court officials attended court, they waited for a long time, but there was no sign of His Majesty and the Emperor's grandson, and even Eunuch Pei was nowhere to be seen.

The ministers looked at each other and soon began to whisper to each other, but no useful information was exchanged. Everyone could only wait in confusion.

It was not until the end of the morning court that the emperor's grandson, with an anxious look on his face, hurried to the hall.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Your Majesty caught a cold yesterday and will be unable to attend the morning court today. If you have any questions, please report them to me. I will pass them on to the Emperor for his decision."

When the ministers heard the news, they looked at the emperor's grandson, who had a look of anxiety on his face when he first entered the palace, and the uproar broke out again.

How could it be just a slight cold?!

Judging from the emperor's grandson's appearance just now, it was obvious that the situation was so urgent that he forgot the time and rushed over in a hurry.

Thinking about the emperor's sudden fainting in the court yesterday, everyone didn't believe that the emperor had just caught a cold.

Immediately, the prime minister, duke, generals and other important officials of the country came forward to surround the emperor's grandson and quietly asked Song Renjing about the emperor's illness.

"May I ask, Your Highness, is His Majesty truly suffering from a cold?"

"Why? General Zheng, don't you believe me?"

"How dare I! Your Highness, I believe what you say. I wonder if we can go and visit Your Majesty?"

"The Emperor has caught a cold and it's difficult for him to see people. When he gets better in a few days, he will naturally summon you all."

Seeing Song Renjing's attitude, everyone naturally became even more skeptical of what he said.

Although the emperor has been confused in handling court affairs recently, he has attached great importance to morning court since he ascended the throne.

Normally, it was rare for someone to miss the morning court session due to a cold, let alone now, with civil war and foreign enemies constantly at hand! ?

The most important thing is that the emperor fainted yesterday. After the emperor's grandson told him the situation today, he still did not allow the court officials to pay a visit to the emperor.

This undoubtedly made everyone more suspicious.

After leaving the Council Hall, all the ministers contacted their connections in the palace and tried their best to gather information.

Perhaps because the emperor suddenly fell ill and his young grandson was unable to take care of the affairs, the control in the palace became much lax.

Therefore, all the ministers who went to inquire successfully got the news.

The news they received also made the ministers even more anxious.

His Majesty the Emperor has been poisoned!

At such a time of internal and external troubles, their emperor was poisoned and fell into a coma!

If the imperial court changes at this time, the government will inevitably be in turmoil.

Is it true that the fate of Great Xia is over?

According to the information obtained, it was Eunuch Pei who poisoned the emperor, and Eunuch Pei committed suicide out of fear of punishment.

However, Concubine Lin is also a suspect. Yesterday, apart from Eunuch Pei who was serving her, she was the only one who went to the imperial study. Now she has been imprisoned by the emperor's grandson.

For a moment, the ministers were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

The news from the palace quickly spread.

At the same time, the leader of the rebel army who was living in seclusion in a farm outside the city also received the news from the palace.

"Hahahaha! Good!

The secret agents we planted in the palace have succeeded, and the dog emperor of Daxia has been poisoned.

Now that everything is ready, we can activate all the hidden agents tomorrow, take control of the palace, and capture that little prince."

After reading the letter, the leader of the rebel army laughed triumphantly and said to everyone.

When the soldiers heard it, they knew who it was.

They had already placed people in the harem several years ago, and Concubine Lin, who is now favored by His Majesty, is the chess piece they placed in the palace.

It takes a thousand days to raise an army and only a moment to deploy it. After enjoying so many years of blessings in the palace, they are finally put to use and have achieved success so easily. It can be said that their cultivation was not in vain.

Thinking that things were going so smoothly, everyone was happy for a while and then started discussing the next plan overnight.
