"Long live, Concubine Li Kang, it seems... I die of worry..."

In the Renshou Hall of the Lingshou Palace in the Luan Palace, Zhu Youxiao was very surprised when the Imperial Hospital of the Imperial Hospital said this tremblingly.

"There are no signs of poisoning?"

"Long live back, there is no." The Imperial Hospital sent a careful greeting, and Wang An next to him stepped forward and said:

"Long live, Concubine Kang passed away, Princess Le'an is young, it should..."

"My eighth sister is young, so let her take care of Concubine Zhuang." Although she hated Concubine Li Kang to the core, for Zhu Youxiao, who had just passed her birthday, was sympathetic to Zhu Huiti, who was only nine years old.

It’s not that Zhu Youxiao is soft-hearted. In the past sixteen years, only Zhu Youjian and three sisters survived.

These three sisters are the 10-year-old Princess Ningde, the nine-year-old Princess Suiping, and the three-year-old Princess Le'an, Zhu Huiti.

Therefore, for him, he cared very much about his only four relatives, especially his only younger brother Zhu Youjian.

Wang An understood his family affection very well. After all, many princes and princes were also grown up when Wang An watched them grow up. When they died, Wang An was also very uncomfortable.

However, in order to ensure Zhu Huiti's safety, Wang An said carefully:

"Concubine Kang and Concubine Zhuang have a bad relationship. Should I change it?"

The whole Shuntian Mansion knows that Li and Xi have a grudge are in the east, and it is difficult to guarantee that Concubine Li Zhuang will take good care of the daughter of his mortal rival Concubine Li Kang.

However, after hearing this, Zhu Youxiao sighed:

"I don't think I'll take my anger on a little girl if I can raise a talent like my younger brother."

"I will accept the order." Seeing that Zhu Youxiao did not change his mind, Wang An had to respond.

However, after he responded, Zhu Youxiao breathed a sigh of relief and told Wang An and the Imperial Hospital:

"Concubine Kang had a close relationship with the imperial examinee before, and was loved by the imperial examinee. She sent an order to the fifth brother of the emperor and ordered someone to find a treasure cave near Qingling to build a mausoleum. The Ministry of Works' Department of Works will give silver to the Jinshenku.

One hundred thousand taels.”

"In addition, Princess Ningde Zhu Huiyan guarded the spirits in a few banquet halls, and then told all officials that anyone who wants to pay tribute can go there."

"I (member) accept the order." Wang An and the Imperial Hospital envoy saluted one after another, and when Zhu Youxiao saw this, he waved his hand and told the two to retreat.

After the person left, he walked to the window of Yangxin Hall. Looking at the wind and snow outside the hall, he was not particularly happy. He just spoke calmly after a few seconds:

"Mom, the school boy has avenged you..."

While Zhu Youxiao said this, Concubine Li Kang's death soon spread throughout the outer court. In addition to the fear of many civil officials, the sound of footsteps of crossing back and forth in the Renshou Palace in the inner court also sounded.

"Why did she die? Didn't she be fine two days ago?"

In the palace, an old female voice sounded. Looking closely, she was a concubine dressed in luxurious clothes and looked only in her forties.

I have to say that judging from that face, this concubine might have also been so beautiful when she was young.

Just looking at her current face, I am afraid that I can't tell her specific age.

While she was rushing, there were many palace maids and eunuchs standing next to her, and the person in charge was Cui Wensheng, whose eyes were black and his injuries seemed to have not healed.

He stood up, bowed to the concubine and said:

"Empress, the urgent need for delays at the moment is to send someone to the Ki-Fan Hall to pay tribute to Concubine Kang, and to see if he was poisoned to death."

"The boy has changed his body to the imperial pharmacy. Wei Jinzhong also wagged his tail in front of the new master, completely ignoring the Empress's care for him. If Concubine Kang was really poisoned to death, then he had to notify him in advance

It's the prince."

"No!" The concubine reacted and refused directly:

"At present, we cannot inform Xun'er. We have to wait for Xun'er to find me. Otherwise, if that kid finds out, it will become a big deal."

With a high status and a descendant, the only such person is Emperor Zheng’s Imperial Concubine Zheng Mengzhen.

It has to be said that as a person who knew the most about power in the inner court of the late Ming Dynasty, except for Empress Dowager Li, Concubine Zheng was full of various means and had many scheming.

Concubine Li Kang was originally bewitched by her that she attempted to detain Zhu Youxiao in the case of moving the palace.

However, Emperor Zheng in history did not expect that Concubine Li Kang would dare to ask the cabinet to review all the memorials.

You should know that for more than two hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, only Empress Zhang of Renzong and Empress Li of Muzong would make such a request when her husband died.

Zhu Youxiao was already sixteen years old and was considered a young age in ancient times, so his ministers would not agree to such a thing at all.

It is precisely because of Concubine Li Kang's extremely stupid request that the follow-up of the palace transfer case broke out.

However, due to Zhu Youjian's invasion, the case of moving the palace did not expand, but the plan of Emperor Zheng's imperial concubine to join Li Kang to control the inner court was also bankrupt.

Therefore, Concubine Zheng was anxious at this moment, fearing that Zhu Youxiao, a newborn calf, would not be afraid of tigers, so she used poison to send her and Concubine Li Kang away.

The only card that Emperor Zheng’s imperial concubine is King Fu Zhu Changxun, but she cannot take the initiative to contact Zhu Changxun.

If Zhu Youxiao caught this, her situation would be even more dangerous.

Thinking of this, Concubine Zheng glanced at Cui Wensheng and then said:

"You go to the Imperial Pharmacy to ask if Concubine Li Kang had eaten something that shouldn't have eaten before her death."

"I will take the order..." Hearing Concubine Zheng's words, Cui Wensheng bowed slightly and then walked out of Renshou Palace.

However, after he walked out, Concubine Zheng dismissed all the palace maids and eunuchs, called a palace maid alone, and ordered:

"See a way to leave the palace and go outside the palace to tell King Rui, King Hui and King Gui."

"I took the order" the palace maid was a little surprised, but she still took the order and walked out of Renshou Palace.

Looking at the palace maid's back as she left, Concubine Zheng didn't know why, but she always felt a little uneasy.

Just when he was uneasy, Cui Wensheng went to the Imperial Pharmacy and asked the people in the Imperial Pharmacy for some reason. He walked to the side wall of the East Six Palace and stuffed a small note into the crack of the door of the side wall.

After a while, a patrol general came here and took away the notes in the crack of the door. He opened them and looked at them. After finding that there was no special information, he frowned and left the place.

—————

"Dead?"

When the imperial city was frightened by the death of Concubine Li Kang, Zhu Youjian, who had just received the death of Concubine Li Kang in the Yanshan camp, was not surprised because Concubine Li Kang's death was originally a move by his name Lu Wenzhao.

Although he is a liberal arts student, there are too many ways to die in ancient times and call the imperial physicians in this era unable to see it.

However, he did not expect that Concubine Li Kang would die so quickly and would die at this critical moment.

"Long live, I have an oral order to find a treasure cave near Qingling to build a tomb, and the Ministry of Works will pay 100,000 taels of silver."

Seeing that Zhu Youjian did not reply, the eunuch continued to say what came from the capital.

"I understand, you go down."

After coming to his senses, Zhu Youjian raised his hand to signal the eunuch to retreat, and he also lay back on the bed, covered himself with the quilt, then closed his eyes and started to think about it in his mind.

"Concubine Li Kang and Concubine Zheng, who is fighting for the foundation of the country, are in the same group. Although all officials also hate them, in terms of the political situation, the death of Concubine Li Kang will inevitably disrupt the peace in the inner court and will also frighten Concubine Zheng."

"Civil officials will definitely ask, no matter which party it is or whether they have a grudge against Concubine Li Kang, they will ask about Concubine Li Kang's death."

"What I want to do now should be my eagerness."

"I have been so eye-catching in the past two months. It's best to keep a low profile before the military training is completed and take me out of the eyes of all officials..."

After thinking it through, Zhu Youjian turned over and got up: "Come on, change your clothes!"

As he spoke, three little eunuchs walked in, changed a blue round neck robe for him, and put on a big fur.

"Send someone to tell Yang Jiazhong that Concubine Li Kang has passed away."

"I took the order." A little eunuch who had put on his clothes took the order and retreated, while Zhu Youjian sat in the main hall with a small copper stove in front of him.

After a quarter of an hour, the rapid and familiar footsteps sounded again. Zhu Youjian didn't have to look up and knew that it was Yang Lian coming.

Zhu Youjian has been familiar with the footsteps of this stubborn old man for nearly a month.

The only sound of his footsteps in the entire military camp was heavy and heavy, and he was still walking fast.

"Your Highness, how did Concubine Li Kang die?"

Although Yang Lian was disgusted with Concubine Li Kang during the Wanli and Taichang periods, Yang Lian was still a little nervous after learning that the other party died.

He was nervous not because someone would suspect him after Concubine Li Kang died, but because he was worried about the situation in the Ming Dynasty.

Whose person is Concubine Li Kang? Needless to say.

Now that she is dead, will the two brothers of Zhu Youjian, Emperor Zheng, be the next one?

Concubine Zheng is not Concubine Li Kang and has no son.

Zhu Changxun, the son of Emperor Zheng, the third uncle of Zhu Youjian and others, is still alive in Luoyang.

In addition, Emperor Wanli did not have only two sons like Zhu Changluo, but had eight sons, three died young, and five survived.

Although only Zhu Changxun is the biological daughter of Emperor Zheng, at this time, the other three princes will definitely submit memorials to ask for the reason.

Not only them, but also other vassal kings of all sizes would also submit memorials.

Although the Ming Dynasty had a good pig farming policy, the current military forces in the mainland of the court had been transferred to Liaodong long ago.

Some ambitious vassal kings took advantage of Zhu Youxiao's excuse to "clear the monarch" and raise an army on the pretext of "clearing the monarch" and not unexpectedly did not appear.

Even in the situation like the second year of Chongzhen, King Zhu Youjian of Tang could recruit thousands of soldiers in a short period of time, not to mention other old vassal kings.
