After the imperial doctor left, Chu Yanwu glared at Chen Jin.
Seeing that he was in a daze and seemed to be thinking, he suddenly asked in a cold voice: "What did you hear just now?"
Chen Jin quickly bowed his body and said very sensibly: "Your Majesty, this servant didn't hear anything!"
"You, your dragon body, are in good health, and you will surely have endless offspring, and each one of you will be a dragon or a phoenix among men!"
Although this flattery is a bit far-fetched, it is just right for the current Chu Yanwu.
But regarding the person who poisoned him, Chu Yanwu gritted his teeth in hatred.
"Who is so vicious? This is worse than killing me!"
He glared at Chen Jin: "You go and investigate privately and you must find the person who poisoned me."
"If you can't find out, I will never let you go!"
…
Chen Jin walked out of the hall alone, but felt a sense of despair and fear in her heart.
It was not only because this task was difficult, but also because Chu Yanwu was actually infertile.
He returned to his resting place dejectedly, and Liu Yu respectfully gave him a cup of tea.
"Master, why do you look so sad, but His Majesty blames you again?"
Chen Jin sighed heavily, "It would be better if it was just a simple accusation, Your Majesty!"
It’s not easy for outsiders to know about this.
The emperor has no fertility and cannot continue to produce offspring, so the throne will eventually fall into the hands of others.
He suddenly asked: "Liu Yu, what do you think about our family's reputation?"
"Our family needs to listen to the truth."
Liu Yu twitched the corner of her mouth and hesitated, "Do you really want to hear the truth?"
"explain!"
Liu Yu said helplessly: "Master, you are nine thousand years old and a popular figure around His Majesty, but you are envious of others. Many people are vying to fawn over you and treat you with great respect."
"However, these are just superficial phenomena."
"The faction headed by Zhang Dongyang has always criticized you. They feel that you control the king and have been impeaching him in private. That is to say, your majesty has been protecting you, so that you can be safe until now."
"If it weren't for His Majesty... I can't imagine the consequences."
He sighed with emotion and realized that he had said too much. He quickly licked his smile and said, "But it doesn't matter. Master, you are capable and wise."
"As long as His Majesty is here, you will prosper forever. No matter how evil they are, they can't do anything to you!"
Liu Yu is quite proud. If Chen Jin is rich and powerful, his life will not be any worse.
But the person involved was desperate and asked in a strange way: "What if His Majesty is no longer here one day..."
Once the news of infertility spread, all officials resisted the fight for the throne, and Chu Yanwu was still poisoned, but he was really able to live peacefully until his old age.
I helped him do so many evil things, dealing with the people and restraining the powerful officials.
Without anyone to protect him, the final outcome may be death.
After finally climbing to such a high position, how could he be willing to die?
"Master, what's wrong with you? You've been depressed since you came back, and you still ask these stupid questions..."
In the past, Chen Jin would not have cared about what others thought of him. He only had his own rights in his eyes.
But now, when did you become such a person who cares about your image?
Chen Jin glared at him: "No need to pay more attention."
"Send someone to Jiangdong and find a way to find out about Xiao Chen. Report everything in detail. Don't act rashly in the rest."
"Also, Xiao Chen's identity continues to be investigated. I want the real answer."
If Chu Yanwu was unreliable, then he could only settle for the next best thing.
In the harem, Concubine Jing, Concubine Shu, and Zhao Jieyu gathered together, unable to close their mouths.
"Then you don't know that after Chu Yanwu learned that he could not get the woman pregnant, his face turned pale with anger and he fainted several times!"
Concubine Jing covered her mouth and chuckled.
Since Xiao Chen left, they haven't felt such joy for a long time.
Anyway, Chu Yanwu was not a good person. He lingered in the harem day and night, making absurd remarks about the government, and countless ministers warned him one after another.
But the old pervert didn't listen at all.
Concubine Jing and the others' plotting against each other can be regarded as justice for heaven.
Zhao Jieyu hummed softly and said: "I heard that Chu Yanwu was dissatisfied with his desires a few days ago and fell in love with the daughter of a prince and minister, and forcibly brought her into the palace."
"That girl thought she was engaged to another young master, but in the end she couldn't bear the humiliation and committed suicide by hanging herself from the beam. It's really pitiful and pathetic."
Jin Fei and Zhao Jieyu were quarreling with each other, but Concubine Shu reminded: "You should be more restrained in your speech, be careful of people who are too blind and get caught."
"Although Chu Yan doesn't dare to publicize this matter, he must be sending people to investigate the person who poisoned him privately. It's better for us to be careful."
Concubine Jing glanced at her dejectedly: "There are no other people here except us, why should sister be so worried?"
"Besides, we not only taught Chu Yanwu a lesson in this matter, but also helped Xiao Chen."
"He now wants to achieve great things, but Chu Yanwu has been secretly stumbling upon him, and he can't wait to get rid of him quickly."
"By doing this, we are helping Xiao Chen."
This seems to make sense, and several women feel more comfortable.
Concubine Shu suddenly said: "I think we can spread this matter to make the rumors more intense."
"Forcibly issued an order to use Da Qi's hand to deal with Xiao Chen. This kind of suspicious king takes the lives of others to consolidate his own power and position and pave the way for his glory."
"Why should such a vicious-hearted person be allowed to sit back and enjoy his gains so peacefully?"
Bang bang bang!
Both of them couldn't help but applaud: "I didn't expect that you usually look the most gentle and decent, and you are not merciless at all when you do things."
"This is a great idea. Then we can watch the fun again~"
So the next day, the news spread throughout the palace with lightning speed, so that the ministers heard it.
"The Emperor cannot have children?"
"Are you kidding? Where did the current prince and princess come from?"
"Hey, I was able to give birth before, but now I can't. It's because I was poisoned or over-indulged. Anyway, something went wrong because my body was short."
"Think about it. The current princes are either young, fighting outside, or not from noble backgrounds. There are not many decent ones, so your Majesty has not established a prince yet."
"Now that you can't give birth, your Majesty, will you settle for the next best thing?"
"Who knows? Anyway, those princes and the prince will probably have to fight for it, and the court will be in chaos."
Several ministers sat together and talked about this matter for a long time.
Although Chu Yanwu is not a thing, Daqi is now eyeing him. If civil strife breaks out again, it will not be a good thing for them.
This matter mainly comes at the wrong time!
