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

Zhao Liangchen nodded, "I understand. His Majesty fainted today in shock and anger because he learned that Prince Liang was trying to harm him."

Duke Lu stared at Zhao Liangchen and asked, "You actually betrayed your entire family?"

Zhao Liangchen nodded resolutely. "That's right. Your Majesty is the legitimate ruler. Prince Liang's rebellion will inevitably cause unrest in the court. If he raises an army, it will be the people who will suffer. Personally, you know, I haven't had a good life at home. My father doesn't treat me like a son, so I have no feelings for him. For both public and private reasons, I will not go along with my father."

Duke Lu looked solemn. According to common sense, it was the right thing for Zhao Liangchen to kill his own relatives for the sake of the emperor.

However, he betrayed his biological father and his entire family, which was an act of treason and was despised by everyone.

Duke Lu could not agree with such behavior. In his eyes, no matter right or wrong, one person should first protect the interests of the family.

If someone betrayed his family, he would be furious and kill them directly. However, what Zhao Liangchen was doing now was beneficial to them, so he could not accuse Zhao Liangchen of being unfilial.

He took a breath and asked Zhao Liangchen, "How does the emperor plan to deal with this matter?"

Zhao Liangchen told the emperor that he suspected Prince Liang was plotting to murder the emperor and prevent him from having children. Of course, he said that the emperor had noticed something.

"Duke, if Prince Liang truly doesn't want His Majesty to have children, then the Duke's Mansion will be the most affected. Therefore, His Majesty hopes that you can work with Him to address this matter. First, we must find a skilled and trustworthy doctor and send him to the palace to examine His Majesty and His Majesty. If possible, we must send more trustworthy people to the palace to serve the Empress personally."

This matter was mentioned in the letter written by the Queen just now, but the Queen did not know that the Emperor suspected that Prince Liang had tampered with them, and thought that the Emperor took the responsibility for his inability to have children on himself.

At this moment, the court doctor came in with the nightgown. Before he could say anything, Duke Lu pointed at him and said to Zhao Liangchen, "He's suitable, his medical skills are passable, and he's reliable."

The palace doctor was completely bewildered. "Old man, what do you mean by 'I'm suitable'? What do you plan to do for me? We agreed that I will only treat the masters of the palace. I won't care about anyone else."

Duke Lu ignored him and looked at Zhao Liangchen: "Deputy Commander Zhao, when is the best time to send him to the palace?"

Zhao Liangchen did not question the ability of the palace physician. Since Duke Lu thought he was capable, then he must be capable. After all, this involved Empress Dao.

"Duke Lu, please prepare the people first. In a few days, when the time is right, someone will come to deliver the message."

Duke Lu nodded: "Okay."

When the court doctor heard that he was going to be sent to the palace, he immediately said excitedly: "I won't go to the palace. I have already said that I don't want to be involved in the struggles among you powerful people."

Duke Lu gave him a cold look and said, "Really? Then I'll ask Haomin to send you back."

The court doctor immediately wilted, and said aggrievedly, "Isn't this a complete threat? How can you be so kind? You said you would protect me."

Duke Lu didn't care about his reaction and said coldly: "If you want me to protect you, you must be worthy enough for me to protect you."

The court doctor did not refute, but just muttered as if he was cursing someone. Zhao Liangchen thought his curse was quite harsh.

Duke Lu seemed not to have heard the court physician's mutterings, and asked in a cold voice, "Is there something wrong with the medicine?"

The court doctor instantly perked up when this incident was mentioned, cursing even more harshly: "Which wicked, half-witted idiot wrote this prescription? This isn't curing an illness, it's destroying a person's foundation."

Duke Lu and Zhao Liangchen's hearts sank at the same time.

Duke Lu asked gloomily, "Is there something wrong with this medicine?"

The court physician stroked his beard pretentiously and said, "You can't say there's anything wrong with this medicine. It's indeed a good medicine for reducing fever, but the person who prescribed it was half-baked and didn't control the dosage well. The medicine is too cold. People with high fever can quickly reduce fever after drinking it, but internal heat and external wind-cold are actually imbalances of yin and yang. This kind of cold medicine only reduces the high fever on the surface, but actually makes the imbalance of yin and yang worse. If you take several doses of this medicine in a row, the internal heat won't be regulated properly, and people will develop chills and frequent high fevers, which will make their health worse."

Duke Lu and Zhao Liangchen's faces turned very ugly after hearing this. Duke Lu was so angry that he swept the teacup on the table to the ground: "Asshole, you are completely heartless and have no humanity."

Zhao Liangchen wasn't that angry. This only confirmed his previous thoughts. He asked the court doctor, "Do you have any fever-reducing medicine that won't harm the body? A ready-made medicine would be best."

The court doctor looked him up and down, as if trying to guess his identity. Duke Lu reacted, suppressed his anger, and said to the court doctor, "If you have medicine, give it to him first. As long as you can help the Duke's Mansion overcome this difficult time, I promise that as long as the Duke's Mansion survives, I will protect you and your descendants for generations to come."

The court doctor's eyes lit up: "Is what the Duke said true?"

Duke: "Why would I, a half-dead man, lie to you?"

The court doctor immediately ran away happily: "Okay, wait."

Soon he came back and handed Zhao Liangchen a bottle of medicine: "Here, this medicine is for you. It can not only reduce fever, but also treat internal heat and external cold. I guarantee that you will be full of energy in three days."

Zhao Liangchen took the medicine bottle: "Thank you."

He bowed to the Duke of Lu again and said, "My Lord, I will return to report first."

Duke Lu nodded, thought for a moment, then stood up and took out a token from his desk and handed it to Zhao Liangchen: "This is the token from my palace. From now on, if you or the emperor have any questions, you can take the token to Taiyi Bookstore in the west of the city to deliver the letter."

Zhao Liangchen knew that Taiyi Bookstore was not far from where they lived now. Zhao Liangchen had not expected that the small bookstore was actually the property of the Duke of Lu's Mansion and also a place for collecting information.

He reached out and took the token: "Thank you, Duke."

Zhao Liangchen left the study and found the palace maid, handing her the medicine bottle: "Give this bottle to the emperor to take, and also tell the emperor that there is something wrong with the medicine. It is very cold and will damage the foundation of the emperor's dragon body."

The palace maid took and hid the medicine bottle, and Zhao Liangchen sent her to the palace gate. Then he left the city and returned to the military camp. After returning to the city at night, he secretly went to Prince Liang's Mansion.

King Liang did not rest. Seeing him, he asked directly, "Did you go to the Duke of Lu's mansion today?"

Zhao Liangchen: "Yes, that's what I'm here to talk about. I'm here on the orders of the Empress to escort her personal maid back to the Duke of Lu's mansion to report the news."

King Liang: "Do you know what they said?"

Zhao Liangchen nodded. "They didn't avoid their subordinates. The maid first told us about the emperor's health, and then about the issue of offspring. The empress hasn't gotten pregnant yet, and the harem will have new concubines after the new year. The empress is anxious, and wants Duke Lu to think of a way to get her pregnant before the other concubines enter the palace."

King Liang: "Did the Duke of Lu say anything?"

Zhao Liangchen: "The Duke said he would find a way to send someone to the palace to help the Queen recuperate."

It was not that Zhao Liangchen wanted to betray Duke Lu, but that the Queen sent a letter to Duke Lu specifically. Duke Lu did nothing, which aroused King Liang's suspicion.

King Liang sneered and said, "Let him send it off. Don't stop him. Give him some convenience when necessary."

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. How could the Queen give up without doing anything? If she didn't give up, how could she be depressed? He wanted the Queen to try all kinds of methods and still not get what she wanted, and then become disappointed. It would be best if she became depressed. He would let the Queen die of depression, so that when the news of the Emperor's infertility broke out, a rift would arise between the Duke of Lu's Mansion and the Emperor.

Zhao Liangchen: "Yes."

This was exactly what he wanted. Otherwise, no matter what method he used to send people to the palace, King Liang would find out.
