Seizing the throne, abolishing the adopted son, the imperial concubine rose to prominence

Aunt Qu paused at this point, and seeing Gu Youxin frowning in thought, she reminded him, "But Fourth Miss Gu has great respect in front of the Empress Dowager, so I think there shouldn't be any problem with this."

"Thank you for your advice, Ma'am. I understand."

Gu Youning immediately understood what this meant. As long as she could please the empress dowager, and the empress dowager spoke, and the emperor had a good impression of her, even if her half-sister was unwilling, she would not dare to speak.

This side of Cheng'an Palace.

After the emperor set off to return to Qianzheng Hall, Concubine Zheng's face darkened, and Caifu, who was serving beside her, hurriedly slowed down her breathing.

"Do you think the Emperor looked at Gu Youxin several times just now?"

"I think the emperor just glanced at me casually when he looked up. His heart is with the master. When the master asked the people to leave, the emperor didn't even raise his eyes."

Caifu looked at her master's face and said cautiously that ever since Caiyue's death, she always had an lingering fear in her heart.

"Forget it, so what if I have an idea? The Queen has someone living in the palace just for this purpose."

Although Concubine Zheng said so, her eyes were full of gloom.

"According to the master's plan, in a few days, not only this Fourth Miss Gu, but even Concubine Gu will have no chance of survival."

"I have already informed Cai Yuan and asked her to keep an eye on Fourth Miss Gu's movements in Changchun Palace, especially the camphor incense. She must keep an eye on Fourth Miss Gu before using it."

Caifu whispered.

"How's the He family doing?"

After hearing this, Concubine Zheng's expression improved a little and she asked other questions.

"Don't worry, Madam. I have already given instructions. Mr. He will be well taken care of during his confinement."

Caifu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't be soft-hearted when you're messing with people, but don't make anything too serious. If this makes the Emperor unhappy with me, I will definitely not let you off."

Concubine Zheng mentioned it again.

"Yes, I will definitely give the order."

Caifu lowered her head and agreed, but a sense of grievance welled up in her heart.

Although the emperor followed the empress dowager's instructions and removed the charcoal basin from the Baohua Palace, he specially appointed an imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital to examine He Cairen. It was obvious that He Cairen had not really lost the emperor's favor this time.

But the master is in a bad mood and wants to take this opportunity to make trouble for He Cairen. If she continues to treat people so harshly, there will be no noise at all. If the emperor investigates, those who work for the queen will probably be...

Caifu thought of Caiyue who was sent out of the palace on a roll of straw mat, and her heart trembled violently.

"I'll ask someone to add some silver charcoal. The Emperor just specifically instructed us to take good care of His Majesty during her lunch break. She must not get cold."

"Ah."

Thinking of the emperor's detailed instructions, Concubine Zheng's expression improved a little.

……

Changchun Palace.

"I had someone search the side hall carefully while cleaning it, and found this."

"liquor?"

Tan Yin had just handed over the small porcelain bottle, and before she opened the cork, Gu Youning smelled a faint scent of alcohol.

"Yes, I asked Imperial Physician Yuan to take a look. This porcelain bottle does contain strong liquor, but it is brewed with Warm Love Fragrance. Imperial Physician Yuan said that this is something that was only available in the palace of the previous dynasty."

Warm fragrance!

Gu Youning did not doubt Yuan Cai's words. Yuan Cai always liked to study these "strange medicines", so it was not surprising that he had heard of them. However, Gu Youxin was really bold and even dared to touch this kind of banned medicine.

"Imperial Physician Yuan said that just one drop of this wine is enough to arouse a person, and it will not cause any harm afterwards."

"That's probably why the Fourth Miss dared to keep this thing, in case she needs to use it on the Emperor."

Tan Yin said.

"I remember there was some pear blossom white left when the emperor came to dine last time. You should replace the contents of this porcelain bottle immediately."

Judging from the time, Gu Youxin should be back.

"So, are the things in here just poured out directly?"

Tan Yin agreed and asked another question.

"Keep it. Maybe it will be useful in the future."

Gu Youning said after pondering for a while.

"Master, we have this evidence in our hands, why don't we just expose the Fourth Miss?"

There was some confusion on Tan Yin's face.

"In the Emperor's mind, I have always been simple-minded. Naturally, I would not have thought of searching the room of my eldest sister. Moreover, these are things from the previous palace. If it weren't for Yuan Cai's interest in studying these things, if others saw them, they would have thought that there was nothing but strong liquor inside. How would I have known about it? Unless I tried it myself."

"And do you think the Queen knows nothing about this? I'm afraid the person who sent this love wine has been targeted by the people in Fengyi Palace, or even controlled. What those people will say then will depend on the Queen's will."

The reason why Gu Wenshi was able to establish contact with the Queen was probably because of the people in the harem of the Wen family’s eldest wife.

Gu Youning suddenly figured it out. She had always wondered why the Queen was willing to spend so much effort to help Gu Youxin enter the palace. Now it seems that she really wanted to use her younger sister to suppress her. Another reason was that she probably wanted to follow the clues and get the hidden power of the Wen family in the harem.

After all, although the Cui family has considerable influence in the harem, most of those people are loyal to Empress Dowager Cui.

She could poach her aunt's boyfriend, but it was not easy for Empress Dowager Cui to be the only one in the late queen's harem, so it would be very difficult to poach her boyfriend.

Judging from the fact that they were able to produce this banned drug from the previous dynasty, the people in the Wen family’s harem are indeed extraordinary, and they may have unexpected uses.

"Go to Jifang Pavilion and tell Lady Wen that I agree to her, but I first want to see where the Wen family's personnel are currently dispersed in the palace."

Gu Youning made a prompt decision.

However, she didn't expect that what Tan Yin brought back was a complete list of names, ages, and places of origin.

"Did Lady Wen prepare this a long time ago?"

Gu Youning felt something strange.

Lady Wen acts rashly, but she is not naive.

She had asked Tan Yin to go over just now because she wanted to know where the Wen family's personnel were currently working in the palace. Perhaps she could find out the source of the warming wine, and then follow this line to find out the other connections of the Wen family's main branch.

But she really didn't expect that Lady Wen would hand over this important thing to her so easily.

Even if she had intended to suppress Concubine Wen in Zhaoqing Palace before, given Concubine Wen's arrogance, even if she was somewhat convinced, she would not take the initiative to show goodwill like this.

There is never any kindness in this harem without reason.

"You and He'er, write down all these people, and then destroy this book immediately. Don't let anyone else see it."

Although she didn't see any intention of Concubine Wen to harm her, Tan Yin's trip to Zhaoqing Palace was not quiet, and she couldn't leave any hidden dangers.

"Yes."

"But I just went to Zhaoqing Palace and heard a loud quarrel over at Yuxuan. I asked around and found out that it was Cao Yunu and Zhao Cainu who were tormenting Lin Yunu. I heard they almost dragged her off the bed."

Tan Yin put the letter away and talked about other things.

"Master, should we take this opportunity to defeat the fallen..."

"Wait a little longer."

Gu Youning didn't intend to expose the matter at this time. If she guessed correctly, Lin Yunv would not remain silent like this.
