Going to Beijing to save his father, all the powerful officials in the city are vying to be his fath

Queen: "Can they be trusted?"

The emperor nodded: "It is credible, but Zhao Liangchen is openly Liang Wang's man, so be more discreet when using him."

The Queen was shocked: "Prince Liang's men?"

Does this mean that Prince Liang is secretly trying to win over the court officials? Aren't the Emperor and Prince Liang on good terms? Why doesn't that seem to be the case?

The emperor looked at the shocked expression on the queen's face and knew that she had no doubts about the queen of Prince Liang. Yes, who would doubt someone like Prince Liang who always thought about him? Even now, he didn't want to believe that Prince Liang had any evil intentions.

He said in a deep voice: "There is no one in this world who is truly selfless and without ambition."

The queen instantly understood what the emperor meant. When she entered the palace, her grandfather reminded her to be careful of Prince Liang. At that time, she thought her grandfather was making a fuss out of nothing. How could a gentle and non-ambitious man like Prince Liang have such a rebellious heart? But now seeing the emperor's reaction, her grandfather was right to worry.

She said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I will tell grandfather."

After saying this, she looked at the emperor worriedly: "Can you do this without taking medicine?"

The emperor smiled and stroked the queen's hair: "I'm fine, just a little cold, I'll be fine in two days, don't worry."

The queen suppressed her worries, asked the maid to grind ink, wrote a letter in her own hand, and gave it to the maid along with the nightgown: "You should personally hand these to grandfather and come back after receiving his reply."

The maid was the one she brought into the palace. She had grown up with her and was her confidant. The maid took the gift and stuffed it into her sleeve pocket, saying solemnly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will definitely deliver it safely."

The Queen and her maid went out of the door and saw the imperial guards guarding the door. She said to Jin Tong, "The Emperor has woken up and ordered that there won't be so many people guarding the door. Let's withdraw some of them."

Jin Tong hesitated for a moment but agreed: "Yes."

He glanced at Zhao Liangchen and said, "Take some of the people back to the camp."

Zhao Liangchen did not refute and prepared to leave with his men.

The Queen called out to him, "Deputy Commander Zhao."

Zhao Liangchen: "Her Majesty the Queen."

The Queen said: "The Emperor fell ill and was in a coma. My grandfather must have been extremely worried. Now that the Emperor has woken up, I want to send someone back to report that he is safe. Please escort my people."

Zhao Liangchen: "Yes, my lady."

The palace maid followed Zhao Liangchen and left. Zhao Liangchen asked the others to return to the camp first, and he personally sent the palace maid to the Duke of Lu's Mansion.

The Duke of Lu's Mansion had already heard the news that the emperor was in a coma, and was pacing around the house anxiously. When they learned that the queen had sent someone, they hurriedly asked someone to invite the palace maid into the study.

Duke Lu frowned slightly as he looked at Zhao Liangchen who came in with the palace maid.

He knew that Zhao Liangchen had a good relationship with the emperor, but he also knew that there were other people behind Zhao Liangchen's position as deputy commander, so he felt that Zhao Liangchen had secretly defected to someone else and was very wary of Zhao Liangchen.

Zhao Liangchen seemed not to notice the defensiveness in Duke Lu's eyes. He bowed and said, "Greetings, Duke. The Queen has ordered me to send a female official back to deliver a letter."

When Duke Lu heard that it was the Queen who had sent him, he couldn't kick him out, so he looked at the palace maid and asked, "How is the Emperor's illness? Is the Queen okay?"

The maid took out the letter and nightgown and handed them to Duke Lu: "The Queen asked me to bring this back to you, Lord Duke."

The Duke wondered why there was a nightgown that smelled of medicine and was damp?

He suppressed his doubts and opened the letter first. After reading the letter, Duke Lu looked very surprised.

The queen had not been pregnant for a long time, and when Prince Liang proposed taking a concubine, he had a bad feeling in his heart, but he also felt that it was the queen's problem like ordinary people.

But what does this letter mean? Instead of blaming the queen for her infertility, the emperor blames her own failure.

He didn't even trust the imperial physician in the palace, but trusted the doctor hired by the Duke of Lu's Mansion?

How much does the emperor trust the Duke's Mansion? Isn't the emperor afraid that it will be discovered that there is something wrong with the queen, and then they will throw dirty water on the emperor in order to protect the queen's reputation?

He looked at the nightgown in his hand again, his face looking grim. Has the emperor's situation become so dire? Is he too afraid to drink the medicine given by the imperial physician when he is sick?

He raised his head and ordered, "Go and call the court doctor."

The court physician arrived soon, and what surprised Zhao Liangchen was that the court physician was younger than he had imagined.

Although he also has a long beard, he looks like a young man.

Zhao Liangchen was a little puzzled. According to the status of the Duke's Mansion, they should have hired an experienced and highly skilled doctor. Would such a young doctor be enough?

The court physician didn't show the same respect that ordinary people would show to the Duke. As soon as he entered, he asked directly, "Old Master, what do you want from me?"

Duke Lu didn't care about his attitude and handed him the pajamas: "Can you check if there is anything wrong with the medicine on this clothes?"

The court doctor took the nightgown and smelled it: "What disease is this medicine for?"

Zhao Liangchen answered from the side: "Cold and high fever."

The court doctor nodded and said, "Wait."

Then left.

Let Duke Lu wait and wait.

Seeing him sit down, Zhao Liangchen said, "Duke, the emperor asked me to bring you a few words."

Duke Lu looked up at Zhao Liangchen and asked, "What did you say?"

Zhao Liangchen glanced at the people at the door, and the Duke of Lu had the servants take the maid away and close the door. The Duke of Lu pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Deputy Commander Zhao, please sit down."

After Zhao Liangchen sat down, he first asked Duke Lu a question: "How much do you know about Prince Liang?"

"King of Liang?" Duke Lu looked at Zhao Liangchen warily. "What do you mean?"

Duke of Lu: "Prince Liang is an important minister of the state. He is a refined and easy-going man who cares deeply for the emperor."

What he said was everyone's general evaluation of King Liang.

Zhao Liangchen raised his eyebrows: "Does the Duke really think so?"

Duke Lu took a look at Zhao Liangchen's expression and said with dissatisfaction, "Deputy Commander Zhao, if you have something to say, please speak directly. I will not play tricks on you."

Zhao Liangchen's expression turned more serious, and he said something that shocked Duke Lu: "Duke, the Prince of Liang has rebellious intentions."

Duke Lu looked at Zhao Liangchen in shock: "Do you know what your words mean?"

Zhao Liangchen nodded: "I understand, but what I said is the truth."

Duke Lu looked solemn: "Do you have any evidence?"

Zhao Liangchen: “Yes.”

He recounted how Prince Liang used the disaster relief money to frame Su Jijing and how he later tried to win him over.

The Duke of Lu became increasingly alarmed as he listened. "Are you saying that Prince Liang had been planning this for over a decade? And that your Zhao family had already joined Prince Liang at that time?"

Zhao Liangchen: "It might even be earlier."

Duke Lu frowned and thought. He knew that King Liang was no ordinary person. How could a person be so perfect?

If a person is too perfect, then he must be pretending. He felt that there was something wrong with Prince Liang and would not easily return power to the emperor, but he did not expect that Prince Liang would make plans so early and have the intention of rebellion.

He felt that Prince Liang had no intention of becoming emperor before, because when the emperor ascended the throne, Prince Liang had no power and little support, and the court was plagued by internal and external troubles. It was normal for him to have no thoughts of becoming emperor at that time.

But he has been the Prime Minister for five years now, gradually gaining control of the court and having tasted the power, so he is naturally unwilling to give up power.

The Duke of Lu had no idea that the King of Liang had always harbored evil intentions.

He looked at Zhao Liangchen and asked, "Does the emperor know about these things?"
