Chapter 024: Superior Strategy
After witnessing the whole process of what happened, Fang Fangyi realized that he was still too weak. Once the battle between the eunuchs and the cabinet began, he would be the one to be crushed. Time will not wait for me, and he will seize the opportunity to get the upper hand.
Tonight, for some unknown reason, the emperor did not summon Zhao Lingying to attend his bed. In Zhao Lingying's palace, Fang Yi sat on one side with no interest at all, his brows tightly knitted together.
Zhao Lingying was not an ignorant woman. She saw that Fang Fang Yi was worried, so she stepped forward and gently squeezed Fang Fang Yi's shoulders. As the emperor's favorite concubine, she knew how to serve others.
"What's wrong with Ziyi? Did you encounter any difficulty?" he asked in a soft voice against Fang Fangyi's ear.
With his eyes closed, Fang Fangyi felt very relaxed and surprisingly opened his heart, saying to Zhao Lingying: "Ying'er, have you ever thought about your future."
The word 'future' deeply hurt Zhao Lingying's heart. These two words were too heavy, and the movements of his hands were also much slower. He frowned and said: "How can you say this? Isn't this bad?
What?"
"Okay, but our destiny is in the hands of others. In the past, I hoped to gain fame and serve the emperor conscientiously, and then I could have a stable life. Now I realize how naive I was before. In the face of the general trend, my life and death
It's so insignificant." Speaking of this, Fang Fangyi's body trembled slightly.
After pondering for a long time, Zhao Lingying said: "I have never thought about my future. My life used to belong to my parents, but now it belongs to the emperor. Anyone who wants it can easily take it. This is all destined. It is all fate.
, I don’t remember to resist.”
Fang Fang Yi could clearly feel the powerlessness in Zhao Lingying's heart. He stood up and put his arms around Zhao Lingying's shoulders, stroking her smooth and white cheeks. Fang Fang Yi said firmly: "No, your life is your own.
I am here, and no one will influence your destiny."
"Stop talking, Ziyi, I understand your feelings, but can you really fight against fate?"
"As long as you believe it."
"I believe it. I believe whatever Zi Yi says."
"We are still too weak. I want to take advantage of the situation. I can't wait for fate." Fang Fangyi said firmly.
Looking at the changes in the house at this moment, Zhao Lingying seemed to feel that she had support in life, and she truly believed that one day she would be able to hold her destiny in her own hands.
Stopping the house, Yi Yi waist said: "Zi Yi, just go ahead and do it, I support you."
"I want to know what the emperor needs? We must do it in advance. Now the conflict between the cabinet and Dongchang has come to light. Sooner or later, the emperor will have to make a choice between them. Otherwise, there will be chaos in the court. Eunuch Zhu is very worried.
Maybe he was the one to be sacrificed. He has eliminated so many people for the emperor, and now it’s time for him to die.”
Zhao Lingying looked at Fang Fangyi in disbelief and said: "How do you know? The emperor has begun to dislike Zhu Tai and his people. In the past few years, Dongchang has eliminated some people for the emperor, which has caused people to complain. The emperor has already
Ready to take action."
"This is what happens in the world. I am familiar with history. How can I not know this? But how do you know?"
"How could you forget that the emperor is also a human being? He has so many calculations in his heart, and he needs someone to talk to."
"Does Ying'er know what the emperor needs most now?"
When Fang Fangyi mentioned this, Zhao Lingying's pretty face turned very red, and he hesitated and didn't know what to say. He bit his silver teeth and finally lowered his head and said: "The emperor likes to swallow love potions when he favors his concubines, and he does it every time he has sex.
We have to rely on love medicine for support, and now it won’t work even if we take the medicine. Is the emperor worried about this now? "
When I heard that the emperor was not good at anything, the house was so happy. I felt ridiculed. Didn't you, Zhu Zai, make others unable to do this?
This is all retribution, but it is a good way to make the house easier to move up.
If it is as Zhao Lingying said, although Zhu Zaihe is not mediocre, he only enjoys the affairs between men and women, is addicted to it and cannot extricate himself, and likes to swallow love potions to increase pleasure.
Zhu Zaihe seldom favored his concubines these days, because he was worried that his concubines would see the clues. How could he let others know that he was not good enough?
In the past few days, the imperial doctors in the harem were extremely worried. The emperor had given them a death order. If they could not develop an effective medicine, their heads would be moved.
Now a group of old doctors from the Imperial Hospital are gathered together to discuss the new medicine for the emperor. The emperor is not an ordinary person. If the medicine is not correct and something goes wrong, even if they have a hundred heads, they will not be able to chop it off. But the emperor takes too much medicine.
, ordinary medicine is no longer useful.
It was late at night, and an old doctor walked out of the palace gate under the moonlight with a sad face like a dead son. When he turned a corner, the house was waiting there.
The old doctor accidentally almost bumped into Fang Fang Yi. Seeing the gray-haired doctor in front of him, Fang Fang Yi asked, "Why is Dr. Liu in such a hurry?"
I wanted to scold him, but when I saw Yi Yi in the house dressed as a eunuch, I held back and asked, "Who are you?"
"The eunuch next to Concubine Shu?"
"Oh, it turns out it's your father-in-law. If you are looking for me now, is it because your empress is sick? If you are sick, you should also see the doctor on duty." Doctor Liu asked puzzledly.
"Haha, I am here to wait for the Imperial Physician. I heard that the Emperor gave you a death order. I think the Imperial Physician is having trouble with this matter?"
"How is it?"
"Not very good? But I can keep you alive?"
Doctor Liu had no other solution now. When he heard Fang Fang Yi mentioning that there was a way, his eyes lit up and he said to Fang Fang Yi, "Please come to Fang Fang Yi's house."
Looking at Mr. Liu, Fang Fangyi slowly took out an elixir, smiled and said to Dr. Liu: "This elixir is your life-saving elixir?"
Looking at the elixir in front of him, Doctor Liu was suspicious for a while. Although the elixir looked good, looking at House Yi, he still couldn't believe it and asked: "Eunuch, are you sure this elixir works?"
"Anyway, if we can't develop a medicine, your life is not guaranteed. Just try it if you don't want to prevent it. I have no enmity with you, so I won't harm you. I will leave this elixir here with you. If you think about it, remember to find it."
I, by the way, I advise you to eat less as you get older, don’t hurt your vitality.”
After saying that, Fang Fangyi left the Liu Mansion with a smile. Looking at the direction Fang Fangyi left and then looking at the elixir in his hand, Doctor Liu was a little hesitant.
"Hey, forget it, I'm going to die anyway, so I might as well give it a try. I have no enmity with him, and he has no reason to harm me."
After muttering to himself, he walked towards the room of the concubine he had taken two years ago. He didn't go there for a long time.
After Dr. Liu swallowed the elixir, he immediately felt as if he was much younger again. When he saw his concubine, he rushed towards her impatiently.
For a moment, in the quiet night, I remembered the concubine's cry. For some reason, all the servants curiously leaned in the crack of the door and looked in. Their faces turned red, especially the concubines and maids in the side room who couldn't believe it.
