The emperor was not very surprised when he heard the eunuch's report.

The reason why he sent people to check King Li's body was because he had a premonition.

King Li also practices the so-called art of immortality. I am afraid that the poisonous wine will not be able to do anything to him. In other words, if it poisons him to death, he will still turn into a zombie and move around.

Sure enough, the people who went to investigate came back soon. King Li was still King Li when he died, so he was not thrown into a mass grave, but buried in a thin coffin.

Someone was sent to dig the grave and open the coffin, but the grave had already been dug up and the body was missing.

Although the assassin was not caught in the end, the zombie Gu in the emperor's body also subsided.

Xia Helin breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It seems that the worms in the emperor's body are being manipulated by someone, and someone wants to harm the emperor's life. And the assassin came to the palace, so it can be seen that the worms can only be controlled within a certain distance. Doctor Bai

There is also medicine to inhibit the reproduction of zombie Gu."

In this way, as long as the person who controls the zombie Gu is not allowed to appear near the emperor, the emperor will have a lot of time to think about it.

The emperor frowned and said, "Bai Qingqing is a member of King Xuan, can he be trusted?"

Xia Helin's eyes narrowed slightly and he simply said: "I don't know whether Bai Qingqing is a member of Prince Xuan, but she is indeed a member of Duke Dingguo's palace and the niece of Concubine De."

The emperor relaxed and said, "Okay, you can go back. I will consider it carefully before declaring you and Bai Qingqing to enter the palace."

"Yes! I'm resigning!" Xia Helin exited the palace. Because he had no record of entering the palace, he was airlifted back by the secret guards.

The emperor did not attend the morning court today. He heard that another assassin entered the palace last night and called the imperial doctor. There was a turmoil secretly inside and outside the palace.

The prince, princess and concubines all went to the emperor's chamber to attend to the illness. The emperor asked everyone to leave, leaving only Concubine De.

Concubine De is now in charge of the harem, but she only has one princess, so she doesn't attract anyone's attention.

Soon Dongming Ziyu and Shangguan Ruoli received news from Xia Helin. The matter was far more serious than they imagined.

The emperor's health is not good to begin with. After such a torment, he may have a limited lifespan.

Dongming Ziyu said calmly: "Now, I don't need to do anything. Your Majesty is too busy to take care of himself. He has no intention of giving me any more beauties for the time being."

Shangguan Ruoli also thought so in her heart, but he was Dongming Ziyu's biological father after all, so she couldn't openly rejoice in his misfortune.

Although Dongming Ziyu didn't have much affection for the emperor as a father and son, he would not ignore the emperor when he was in danger. He immediately summoned his men to check on King Li.

Shangguan Ruoli wanted to eat the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, but when he saw the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, he vomited. He forced himself to drink some porridge, then leaned on the couch and closed his eyes to rest.

When it was almost noon, Concubine De sent Xia Xue to send Shangguan Ruoli a congratulatory gift and a letter to Bai Qingqing.

Mrs. Ji sent a message in the afternoon, asking Bai Qingqing and Bai Zimo to come over and talk.

If the wife is doing diplomacy or asking Bai Qingqing to treat the child, there is no need to bring Bai Zimo with her. Now that Bai Zimo is invited, it is obviously Master Ji who wants to take Bai Zimo under his wing.

There must be a role for the emperor in this.

Bai Qingqing felt very uneasy about matters involving the palace, but she knew that the emperor's ultimate goal was to let her treat him. Her brother was already in the emperor's hands, so she had no choice.

Shangguan Ruoli didn't say anything about this. This was just the beginning. After Bai Zimo entered the family tree and changed his surname to Zheng, he would have to face more.

She couldn't care about other people's affairs now, she just wanted to protect the child in her belly.

I vomit bile every day, and I don't know when this life will end.

Rejoice reported: "The princess, Princess Jinyang, Madam Dingyuan, the Prime Minister's wife and many other ladies sent congratulatory gifts to congratulate the princess on her pregnancy, and some ladies personally sent congratulatory gifts. The prince asked Aunt Su to go

I dealt with it and said that the princess is raising a baby."

Shangguan Ruoli nodded and said that in dealing with female relatives, only Nanny Su was suitable in this house.

Sassoon came in and reported: "Princess, the fifth prince wants to see you."

Shangguan Ruoli thought that the fifth prince was here to get the drawings, so he said to Rejoice: "Invite him to the study, the drawings are all there."

After saying that, Shangguan Ruoli got up from his bed, straightened his clothes and went to the study room to finish a half-finished drawing.

Soon, the fifth prince walked in quickly.

His eyes were red, there were large bruises under his eyes, and he looked very depressed.

Shangguan Ruoli was shocked by his behavior, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the business?"

The fifth prince pursed his dry lips, looked at her like a wounded animal, and asked hoarsely: "I heard that the eldest emperor's wife is pregnant, is it true?"

Shangguan Ruoli's eyes narrowed. He wondered what the fifth prince meant by asking. Could it be that someone wanted to do something to the child in his belly?

But this matter is no longer a secret. He nodded lightly and said: "Yes."

The fifth prince was stunned, a hint of hurt flashed in his eyes, and suddenly he laughed, "That's great, hehehe..."

I couldn't help laughing, and tears of laughter flowed out.

Shangguan Ruoli felt that his behavior was a bit strange, and looked at him as if he were a ghost, and said: "What's wrong with you? Are you so happy? Even your eldest brother is not happy like this!"

Are you still crying?

Those who didn’t know, thought the child was his!

Shangguan Ruoli suddenly had a guess, and his heart skipped a beat. The fifth prince would not treat her...

It shouldn't be, he is only fourteen years old.

However, I have also reached the age where love begins.

When the fifth prince saw Shangguan Ruoli's expression change slightly, he quickly stopped laughing and said sincerely: "I am happy for the eldest brother. The eldest brother has been... so miserable these years. I thought he would never have a wife.

It’s okay now…hehe…”

Shangguan Ruoli looked at his sincere expression and despised himself for being too narcissistic. He was still a young boy, how could he be interested in a woman like himself?

He sighed and said, "Fortunately, after all the hardships, the rewards come, and he managed to survive."

The fifth prince nodded in agreement, but lowered his eyes, and his long eyelashes hid the expression in his eyes.

Shangguan Ruoli handed a stack of blueprints in his hand to the fifth prince, "What's the matter with you looking so decadent?"

The fifth prince took the drawing and said: "My father invited the imperial doctor last night, and there was another assassin in the palace. We didn't dare to sleep when we heard the news, and we have been waiting for our father this morning."

He also wanted to pretend to be sick like Dongming Ziyu. There were so many things.

It turned out that this was the case. Shangguan Ruoli didn't think much about it and asked: "How about father?"

"Still lying down, but the imperial doctor said that there is no serious problem." The fifth prince briefly reviewed the emperor's condition, looked at the drawings, and said happily: "So many? They are all beautiful."

Shangguan Ruoli said with a smile: "Women are born with rich inspiration for jewelry."

The fifth prince smiled and said, "Brother, I will ask someone to do it right away. I will definitely make a lot of money this time."

But that smile looks a bit stiff no matter how you look at it.
