I rely on infrastructure systems to build a prosperous village

The next morning, at Huayang Palace, the imperial palace in Bianjing.

A young eunuch hurried into the inner hall. After a while, the sound of a woman scolding was heard.

"You're in such a hurry. What a shame!"

"Madam, please forgive me. I learned that His Majesty was ill today and did not even attend the morning court."

Zhuang Moyin, who was originally leaning on the soft couch, suddenly opened his eyes and asked in confusion: "Your Majesty is sick?"

"Yes, ma'am."

Zhuang Moyin's eyes flashed, and she remembered what her father said to her and the package he gave her. A hint of ruthlessness flashed across her beautiful eyes, and she said viciously in her heart: Qin Di, since you don't take my Sheng'er and my father's lives seriously, then I don't take your life seriously either.

When I, Sheng'er, ascend the throne, considering our years of love as husband and wife, I will kindly send you and that bitch Chu Ci to reunite in the underworld.

"Madam Wu, come here."

She was seen whispering in Nanny Wu's ear, and soon, Nanny Wu took the order and walked out of the inner hall.

Emperor Huide's bedroom.

At this time, the atmosphere in the bedroom was very dull and depressing, and several ministers in the court had worried expressions on their faces.

Emperor Huide lay on the dragon bed with his eyes closed. Chen Liangshan, the head of the Imperial Hospital, who was sitting beside him taking his pulse, also had a solemn expression on his face.

Not long after, as soon as Chen Liangshan walked out of the inner hall, several ministers who were waiting in the front hall rushed forward.

Master Zhuang, with an anxious look on his face, said:

"Doctor Chen, how is His Majesty? Why did he suddenly fall ill?"

"Alas, Your Majesty has had this brain ailment for a long time, but he's taken good care of himself, so he hasn't had any relapses. But this time, for some reason, it's so serious."

Zhou Hanmin's eyes flickered as he glanced quickly at Zhuang Minghui. He caught a glimpse of smugness in Zhuang Minghui's eyes. His heart tightened, a sense of panic building within him, yet his expression remained calm. After a moment's thought, he said, "Doctor Chen, when will His Majesty wake up?"

Chen Liangshan pondered for a moment and said, "He will wake up in about a quarter of an hour, but he can't be stimulated by anything else."

Upon hearing this, the ministers all breathed a sigh of relief. Zhuang Minghui, who had bowed his head, paused, his eyes darkening as he looked at the delighted ministers. Suddenly, his brow furrowed, he asked in a deep voice, "Why isn't General Zheng here?"

Yuan Zhongxian and Zhou Hanmin, who were standing by, exchanged a glance and said quickly, "Grand Master, you may not know that the old general caught a cold a few days ago and has not been able to leave his bed yet."

"Oh?" Zhuang Minghui stared at Yuan Zhongxian closely, and when he saw that he didn't seem to be lying, he felt relieved.

At this time, the eunuch at the palace gate hurried in, bowed to the ministers, and then entered the inner hall. Soon, Liu Chun's voice rang out.

"Since the Empress has come to see Your Majesty, it seems she is worried about Your Majesty's health. Why don't you quickly invite Her Majesty in?"

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, the ministers in the front hall were all surprised and puzzled. They had not seen the Queen in many years. Ever since His Highness was abducted and killed, the Queen had not appeared in public.

After a while, Chu Ci came in with Nanny Li. Seeing this, several ministers hurriedly kowtowed and saluted.

"Ministers, please stand up. Your Majesty is now unconscious, and I am sorry to have caused you all to worry."

"Your Majesty, please don't say that. It's really embarrassing for us. Now that His Majesty is unconscious, we are all extremely worried and anxious."

Zhou Hanmin stood up, bowed and said.

"Very good, very good. If His Majesty wakes up and sees you like this, it will be a relief for His Majesty to promote you as his loyal ministers over the years."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was stunned. Zhou Hanmin couldn't help but snorted in his heart: Who is this Yin Yang, and who did what, everyone knows it in their heart.

Thinking of this, he rolled his eyes at Zhuang Minghui.

Meanwhile, Zhuang Minghui's eyes were fixed on the food box held by Nanny Li, and he felt very proud.

Just at this moment, Liu Chun's exclamation came from the inner hall.

"Your Majesty, are you awake?"

Everyone was delighted when they heard this. Chu Ci quickly took Nanny Li into the inner hall.

"Your Majesty, how are you? Are you still feeling unwell? Doctor Chen, come and take your Majesty's pulse."

"Yes, ma'am."

Emperor Huide opened his eyes, his face was pale, and he opened his mouth, but could not speak.

After a while, Chen Liangshan withdrew his hand and said, "Your Majesty, although His Majesty has awakened, his dragon body still needs to rest for a while so that he can slowly recover his vitality."

"Okay, I understand. You can leave now."

Chu Ci looked at the weak Emperor Huide lying on the bed, a trace of heartache flashed in her eyes. She didn't know when his black hair had turned a little white.

"Madame Li, bring out the ginseng soup I made. I'll feed it to Your Majesty. Even a few sips will help restore some of your energy."

"Yes, ma'am."

A moment later, Nanny Li came over with a bowl of ginseng soup. Chu Ci took it, and by then, Liu Chun had helped Emperor Huide to his feet.

"Come, Your Majesty."

Emperor Huide opened his mouth obediently. Chu Ci fed him a mouthful and he drank a sip.

After a few sips, Emperor Huide couldn't drink any more. Seeing him like this, Chu Ci couldn't help but frown and sigh. He took a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped the corner of his mouth.

Suddenly, with a "puff" sound, Emperor Huide spat out a mouthful of blood. Before he lost consciousness, he squeezed Chu Ci's palm and fainted a moment later.

"His Majesty."

"Doctor Chen, Doctor, please come in and see him, quickly."

Chu Ci, whose clothes were stained with blood, was shocked and his face was full of panic. He pulled Liu Chun up, hugged Emperor Huide, and shouted loudly outside the hall.

When Chen Liangshan and several ministers heard the shouting, they were all startled and hurried in without caring about the etiquette between the emperor and his subjects.

"How could this be?"

When everyone saw the change in Chen Liangshan's expression, their hearts tightened.

"Doctor Chen, how is His Majesty?"

"Why does Your Majesty look like he's been poisoned?"

As soon as he said this, everyone was shocked. Zhuang Minghui was delighted and quickly frowned and asked, "Your Majesty, did you eat anything just now?"

Liu Chun exclaimed, "I just drank the ginseng soup given by the Empress."

Chen Liangshan quickly stood up and walked to the half bowl of ginseng soup on the table. He took out a silver needle and tested it. After a while, half of the needle turned black.

"Queen, what else do you have to argue? Even if His Highness was lost, you can't hold such a grudge. You actually wanted to take His Majesty's life while he was sick."

Zhuang Minghui had a look of heartache on his face and argued confidently.

Meanwhile, Nanny Li's face paled as she argued loudly, "How could it be ginseng soup? Your Majesty and your Majesty are a young couple, how could they poison the ginseng soup? Someone must have wanted to harm Your Majesty and is trying to frame you."

"Who has the guts to harm His Majesty? How come I don't know?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Zhuang Moyin, wearing exquisite makeup and gorgeous clothes, walking in with several guards.

Seeing Chu Ci half-embracing Emperor Huide, a vicious look flashed across Zhuang Moyin's eyes.

"As you all have seen, the silver needle used by Doctor Chen is half black, and now His Majesty has fainted. Therefore, I, the concubine, have made the decision. Take Chu Ci and this servant away and imprison them. I will make the final decision after His Majesty wakes up."

The guards behind him heard the order and wanted to step forward.

At this moment, the sound of Emperor Huide coughing could be heard from the dragon bed. After a while, he could be heard saying incoherently, "Queen Chuci has harmed me. Now that we have irrefutable evidence, I will strip her of her title and banish her to the cold palace."

As soon as these words came out, Chu Ci burst into tears, closed his eyes, and said with a wry smile: "Qin Di, you and I have been married for many years, and you really don't trust me? Well, then we will never see each other again in the future, whether we are alive or dead."

Seeing Chu Ci's face filled with sadness and determination, Zhuang Moyin's eyes were filled with pride. He said to the guards behind him, "What are you still standing there for? Didn't you hear the emperor's order?"

"You don't have to do anything. I will go there myself."

After saying this, he gently put Emperor Huide down, stood up, looked at him deeply before leaving, and walked out with the guards.

In the evening, at the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

The eldest prince Qin Jinsheng, Grand Tutor Zhuang Minghui, and Tuoba Ye were sitting in the hall, all with smiles on their faces.

"Now all the spies in the palace have been eliminated, and we have Prince Tuoba to thank for that."

"You are too polite, Grand Master. We have a common enemy, so of course I will help you."

"When will Prince Tuoba take action?"

Tuoba Ye raised his eyebrows, a gloomy look flashed across his eyes, and said, "Shouldn't this prince ask the Grand Tutor Yu, the eldest prince, when to take action?"

Zhuang Minghui's heart sank, but he didn't show it on his face. He smiled and said, "I asked this because I want Prince Tuoba to help us."

"Hahahaha, alright. Then it depends on when the eldest prince's troops enter Bianjing."
