Abandoned daughter takes charge of the family, so rich that even the best people can't envy

After taking the nutritional pills, Zhu Beichen suddenly felt stronger. He grabbed Doctor Li and asked, "What did you give me? Anything else?"

Doctor Li: "I'll just take half of it."

Zhu Beichen asked doubtfully, "Is it really gone?"

Doctor Li shook his head. "It's really gone. If I had known you were so greedy, I might as well have eaten it myself."

Zhu Beichen knew he was in the wrong, so he quickly pointed to the sky and explained, "Doctor Li, please think of a way. Can you get another one?"

Doctor Li also knew that since the poison had been carried by the wind from the sky, the palace would likely be affected as well. He would be generous with his help if the emperor needed it, but he truly had no more nutritional pills.

He thought for a moment and said, "My grandson is still in the palace..."

Zhu Beichen: "Oh, Li Fangling has it."

As he said this, he patted Doctor Li, stood up and left.

Doctor Li: I said, "Is my grandson pregnant? This person can't get better. If he gets better, he'll be a bandit."

Zhu Beichen was exhausted. Half a nutritional pill gave him energy, but his legs were still weak, as if he was stepping on cotton.

Ah Qi held him up and said, "Sir, let me carry you on my back."

Zhu Beichen narrowed his eyes, took his hand and whispered, "I'll go through the main gate, and you go through the secret passage. If I can't enter the palace, you must deliver the prescription to the palace as soon as possible."

Ah Qi's expression froze. He knew that the master was openly attracting the enemy and buying him time. He knew the situation was urgent, so he confronted Zhu Beichen thoroughly, then stood up, accepted the order and left.

……

At the gate of the palace, Zhu Beichen arrived and stopped Chen Shigui.

The spy chief is the spy chief. Even though he was sick, Chen Shigui still felt uneasy because of him.

He quickly straightened his face and said solemnly, "Master Zhu, I just explained to General Wei Si that we received our distress signal. We encountered the Second Prince of Southern Xinjiang's men in the suburbs of Beijing. They were trying to launch a surprise attack and plunder our military supplies in Cangwu. They have been killed by my subordinates."

As he spoke, his men brought the head of the second prince of Southern Xinjiang and showed it to Zhu Beichen.

Chen Shigui repeatedly emphasized that he learned from the second prince of southern Xinjiang that there were changes in the capital and was worried about the safety of His Majesty, so he had no choice but to bring people to the capital.

Zhu Beichen looked at him coldly without saying a word.

Chen Shigui is the son-in-law of the Grand Princess's Mansion. Although others may not know about the Grand Princess's ambitions, he knows them best.

The eldest princess has been secretly trying to win over court officials, hoping to nominate the eldest prince as the crown prince, but unfortunately His Majesty looks down on the eldest prince.

His Majesty appointed the Seventh Prince as Crown Prince, and the First Prince missed the throne. The Grand Princess's goal was not achieved.

I originally thought that since the country had a crown prince, they should have calmed down. Even if they didn't give up, they should have taken their time to plan. After all, the Seventh Prince was weak and there were too many variables.

In fact, Zhu Beichen was also wondering, the Grand Princess is of noble status, which prince who ascends the throne must respect her as aunt?

Moreover, the royal family is now in decline, and among your majesty's brothers and sisters of this generation, only the eldest princess is left.

As long as she didn't commit the crime of treason, she would have a safe and prosperous life. Why did she have to get involved in the matter of choosing a crown prince?

Because of his suspicions, and also because of His Majesty's orders, he also investigated the eldest prince's background. He did a very thorough investigation.

The eldest prince was indeed born after Concubine Zhou's ten-month pregnancy. The pulse history during the pregnancy and the delivery were all recorded in the archives, and there were also witnesses, so it could not be faked.

However, there was something strange about the fire in the Zhou family. Although nothing was found out, he had a vague feeling that it might be related to the Grand Princess's Mansion.

This shows that the eldest princess does not want the eldest prince to have a maternal family. It seems that she wants to replace the eldest prince's maternal family and then recommend the eldest prince to the throne, making him the first person to follow the dragon.

But now that the throne of the crown prince has fallen into someone else's hands, the eldest princess can no longer sit still?

So the sudden fire in the capital this time, where someone used smoke to poison and murder the entire city's citizens, was it done by the Grand Princess?

Her purpose in doing this is to force the emperor to abdicate and rebel?

Zhu Beichen couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

So, Chen Shigui's arrival at this time seemed to be to protect the imperial city, but was actually to force the emperor to abdicate?

Zhu Beichen's solemn expression made Wei Qidong suspicious. He glanced at Chen Shigui suspiciously, "Captain Chen, do you have the emperor's order?"

Chen Shigui said helplessly, "I don't have your Majesty's order to transfer you, but I heard that a plague had suddenly broken out in the capital and came to help you."

Zhu Beichen said coldly, "Save the Emperor? Everything is normal in the palace, His Majesty is in good health, and the poison in the imperial city will soon be resolved. So there is no need for Captain Chen to save the Emperor."

Wei Qidong suppressed the pain in his stomach, straightened his body, and said calmly, "Chen Shigui, the soldiers of your West Mountain Camp are not allowed to bring weapons into the city without being summoned. You should take these people and guard outside the city to prevent people like the Second Prince of Southern Xinjiang from taking the opportunity to cause chaos!"

Chen Shigui's expression changed. "Lord Zhu, General Wei Si, the capital is in such a state now. Someone must have poisoned it. We are just worried about Your Majesty and want to protect Him. Don't worry, you two lords, we will only guard the palace gate. Without Your Majesty's order, we will not enter the palace at all."

Zhu Beichen didn't believe a word he said, but it was obvious that the Jinyiwei had no fighting power, while the soldiers of the Xishan camp brought by Chen Shigui were strong and powerful. If a fight broke out, there would be no suspense at all.

Zhu Beichen frowned and looked at Chen Shigui, then looked at the people behind him. Some of them lowered their heads and remained silent, while others were at a loss. It seemed that these people were not all his confidants, so that would be easy to deal with.

He suddenly took out a gold medal and said, "Soldiers of the West Mountain Camp, listen to my orders."

When Wei Qidong saw the gold medal, he saw the words "As if I were here in person" written on it, and he knelt down immediately.

Chen Shigui had never imagined that Zhu Beichen could actually possess a gold medal bestowed by His Majesty. He could only kneel down reluctantly.

Although the soldiers of the Xishan camp had never seen the gold medal, since General Wei Si and the captain had knelt down, they also hurriedly knelt down.

A few who were standing still were also pulled down to their knees by the people around them.

Zhu Beichen and Wei Qidong exchanged glances calmly.

Zhu Beichen said, "I know everyone is loyal to His Majesty, but the soldiers of the Xishan camp brought their weapons into the capital without being summoned, which is a serious crime of treason."

Zhu Beichen looked at the people whose faces had changed, and Chen Shigui who was still trying to argue.

He waved his hand and continued, "I have a plan that will ensure everyone's loyalty without being charged with treason. Would you like to hear it?"

A tall soldier asked, "Master Zhu, we are truly here for the safety of His Majesty. Master Zhu, as long as we can protect His Majesty, we are willing to do anything."

A bearded man said, "Me too. I want to protect Your Majesty. I know Lord Zhu is Your Majesty's confidant. I trust you. Please give your instructions, Lord Zhu."
