After being reborn as a widow, the mistress of the Hou family remarried a powerful official

Chapter 162
"Are these the only ones who died? Are all the doctors fine?"

"Many died, but only one survived, but his tongue was gone."

"who is it?"

"That imperial doctor is a member of Concubine De, a descendant of Marquis Xuanping."

So that's it. Firstly, this imperial doctor has a background. Secondly, killing an imperial physician is not as easy as killing a palace maid and eunuch. Every imperial physician has a title. If too many are killed, not only offending this group, but also causing trouble. The outside world is suspicious.

This is not a situation that the Holy Spirit wants to see.

I'm afraid that Concubine De knew about this, and it was also the imperial doctor who informed her. A small imperial doctor diagnosed the emperor with a hidden illness, saying?Or not?
If he had said it, so many imperial doctors who had died before were his best precedents. If he didn't tell him, how could he treat it?There is no cure for this disease, otherwise Hualiu disease would not be so frightening.

She said with some suspicion: "These things from the Holy One should be regarded as secrets. Why does this little eunuch know everything about you?"

It wasn't that Ke Yiqing was too suspicious, but that she was afraid that there was some fraud involved.

Yan Ming smiled quite proudly at this: "Of course I 'asked'."

Thanks to his notorious reputation, when the eunuch saw him, he remembered that this man had been an official in the Ministry of Punishment, and was very frightened. Moreover, the information he inquired about was not a big problem in the eyes of the other party.

"Obviously, I am still Chu Yun's party, and I first asked for the list of recent bedchambers. The eunuch just thought that I was monitoring the movements of the harem for Chu Yun, and did not have too much suspicion."

She laughed a little, she didn't expect that she could act so recklessly.

"What happened next? What happened next?"

"The eunuch said that the Holy Emperor did not enter the harem for more than a month. He claimed that it was due to traveling abroad for too long and accumulating too much government affairs."

"He's really good at making excuses."

"It's true. I really want to know what gave him the confidence to return to the harem?"

After all, more than a month later, the emperor summoned a little Shuyi to favor him, and the place was in the Qianqing Palace where he handled government affairs.

No matter how you look at it, it reveals a sense of impatience.

What makes a weathered emperor so eager to favor Shuyi, whom he has never met before?
I'm afraid that someone or something "cured" his inhumane problem, so he was so anxious to give it a try, right?

The two looked at each other and said in unison: "Zou Dan."

This Zou Dan was an alchemist who suddenly gained great importance from the emperor a few years ago, and his status even surpassed that of the prime minister for a time. It seems that this man seized such an opportunity.

"I heard that although the Holy One has recently been overhauling the pagoda, he still summoned the sorcerer into the palace after a while, saying that he wanted to cultivate immortality and immortality together."

"What's the point of cultivating immortality? I'm afraid you can't catch people here to refine elixirs for yourself, right?"

Ke Yiqing sarcastically said: "This problem of always arresting people and imprisoning them in the palace is really passed down from generation to generation."

First, the emperor imprisoned Princess Pingyang, then the queen mother imprisoned her in the palace to raise her fetus, and finally summoned Zou Dan to the palace to refine elixirs.

How many people know about this?
"Perhaps, this is an opportunity. As long as we pass the news to the Queen's Party, they will naturally have a way to deal with Chu Yun."

Facing Chu Yun head-on, even though he can deal with her, it will definitely alarm the prime minister. Now that he has such a handle, he can naturally use his strength to fight against her.

Yan Ming pondered for a moment, "I understand the truth, but I still don't know how Chu Yun became pregnant with the emperor's child."

In such an airtight prison like the palace, how could she, a little concubine, be pregnant with someone else's child without anyone noticing?

"You are right. If there is not enough evidence, even the queen and others will not dare to act rashly."

It's about the emperor's heir. If he wins with one move, it's easy to say, but what if he fails?I'm afraid it will also cause a fishy mess.

"Could it be the time when she came out of the palace to find you?"

Yan Ming shook his head and said, "It's impossible. I've checked it out and the people who arranged for her to leave the palace are all my people. With her caution, she shouldn't leave such a secret in my hands." Ke Yiqing was silent, she was a little bit I'm not used to it. This bitch suddenly went from completely trusting Chu Yun to now being completely suspicious. It's also embarrassing.

"There are only a few ways to enter the palace, what are some of them that can be operated?"

Yan Ming thought about it for a while, and if he could make Chu Yun pregnant, the other party must be a man, but the man who entered the palace would either not be able to enter the harem, or he would become a eunuch.

What exactly can be done?
At this time, Xia He, who had been silent for a long time, felt a little embarrassed.

"Maybe, maybe there is a way..."

"What is it?"

Xia He's face turned red strangely, but with Ke Yiqing's encouragement, she finally said it.

It turns out that there has always been a secret thing in the palace, which is "the eclipse of the moon".

"What is the eclipse moon?"

"No, isn't it just those things?"

Seeing Xia He's face of shame, she pushed Yan Ming out of the door and asked him carefully.

"Madam, although all the women in the palace are nominally holy, most of the palace maids will never see the holy king in their lifetime. Over time, they have to establish a good relationship with the eunuchs in advance before they purify themselves."

"Maintain a good relationship?"

Xia He told her that the prospective eunuchs who wanted to be cleansed would be arranged in one place. Before that, there would be bribes from the palace maids and stewards, and they would have a few days of fun with the prospective eunuchs who were still men.

"Of course, not all palace maids can do it. Those in charge are very cautious. If they serve in the harem, they will not be accepted."

After hearing this, she said it was an eye-opener.

"Aren't you afraid that something will happen if you act like this?"

"Those in charge are not responsible for this every year, and not everyone will do it in turn. If they are found out, they will have to consider themselves unlucky."

Ke Yiqing understood that it was human nature for palace maids and eunuchs to eat food, not to mention these palace ladies who would never see the emperor in their lifetime?

Even if the people above knew about it, they would probably turn a blind eye. Who wouldn't be happy to make such quick money?

If you make a fortune, you can leave the palace and live a comfortable and prosperous life in your later years. It is really a good deal.

When Yan Ming came in and was informed of this, he also found it funny. If Xia He hadn't informed them, they would have both been spinning in circles.

"I see, then I'm even more curious. As a palace concubine, Chu Yun, who has the courage to arrange for her to go?"

"Did Liyue tell you about this at that time?"

"Never mentioned."

There are two reasons why Liyue didn't mention it: first, she didn't know about the matter, and second, she still fantasized about returning to Chu Yun.

But since Liyue had already reported Chu Yun to Yan Ming, it was impossible to still dream about going back, so there was only one possibility.

"Not even Liyue knows about it. It seems that Chu Yun is keeping it secret."

This is not difficult to understand. If one more person knew about it, she would be in more danger, but this also shows that Chu Yun did not do this by relying on her own ability.

"Who do you think is helping her?"

Yan Ming affirmed: "He is the prime minister."
