Half a day's work.
The news that Zhao An was appointed chief steward of Cining Palace by the Queen Mother spread throughout the palace.
All civil and military officials were horrified.
Since ancient times, eunuchs have brought harm to the country. Today, Zhao An is favored and has truly become the dominant family in the harem.
Some officials got together to discuss what to do about this matter.
Some officials are still taking a wait-and-see attitude.
The emperor did not issue a decree for canonization. According to the ancestral precept that the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, the empress dowager's decree was far less powerful than the emperor's decree.
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
The empress walked around with her hands behind her back, like an ant on a hot pot.
Zhao An sat on the dragon chair and Ge You lay down.
He wanted to show off.
Luo Qingshuang didn't behave like a human being, so she stabbed him in the back as soon as he stepped forward. However, this was still a favor, and he couldn't say anything wrong about it.
The empress said angrily: "You should come up with a charter!"
"What can I do? You have to ask yourself." Zhao An glared angrily, "The Queen Mother is your mother, and you are the emperor. It's your turn to persuade her to take back her life."
"How can I persuade her? Do you know how the black factory was destroyed back then?"
The empress said with some resentment.
Zhao An dug his ears and eyes, looking like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.
Yangxin Hall fell into a long silence.
Zhao An finally slapped his thigh and stood up, "Well, since I want to kill Chen Guogong, it's not my character to sit back and wait for death."
After saying that, he ran to Ningkun Palace in a hurry.
Sure enough, Chen Yuru was also walking around. When she saw Zhao An, she sneered three times and said, "I am here. I would like to congratulate Eunuch Zhao."
"Mother, eh——"
Zhao An knelt down and hugged her thighs and started crying. He looked up and shed a few false tears, "I'm wronged! I don't know how I did it, so the Queen Mother rewarded me."
"Is it so bad? You alone have the final say in the harem. I, the Queen Mother, and so many concubines all depend on your expression." Chen Yuru waved her sleeves bitterly and sat down with a cold face.
Zhao An said humbly: "No matter how powerful I am, I still rely on the glory of my master. The sun and moon can reflect my feelings for the Queen."
"Sharp-tongued, tell me what you want from me."
"The slave is here to ask for help. Chen Guogong will definitely unite all officials to write a letter to kill the slave. The slave is wronged."
"Are you still afraid? If I had known this, you should have been more peaceful in the harem. Now that your family is the only one in power, hundreds of officials want to kill you. It is in line with the law of heaven."
Chen Yuru preached majestically.
Zhao An looked repentant on the surface, but was cursing in his heart.
Oh my God!
Chen's ability to intimidate the imperial power was no better than that of his chief steward.
But now is either the time to break up, or he continues to hold her legs and shake her, "Mother, please help me. I swear that as long as I survive this disaster, I will ensure that His Highness the Crown Prince ascends to the throne in the future."
At the mention of the prince, Chen Yuru's cold expression softened and she touched her belly lovingly.
She broke up with the Chen family just so that the child in her belly could ascend to the throne one day, and the dog slave in front of her was her support, and she would help him no matter what.
Thinking of this, she said gloomily: "Are you going to take action against my father?"
"It's not that the slave wants to take action, but Chen Guogong will never let the slave go. In order to protect himself, the slave can only strike first. But don't worry, in the end, it all depends on the queen."
Zhao An expressed his attitude in a very stupid way, licking his face like a "loyal dog".
Chen Yuru was then satisfied, "I will give you a chance, but..."
She waved her hand, and Chang Ming walked in with a wicked smile, holding a small porcelain bottle in his hand.
Zhao Anxin's head twitched, "Brother Chang Ming, what do you mean?"
"Eunuch Zhao, I'm sorry. I can trust you, but just to be sure, please take this heart-eating Gu."
Chang Ming, I *you immortal!
Zhao An was wailing and cursing in his heart. He had calculated everything, but he ignored that Chang Ming, a bastard, was good at witchcraft.
The jade porcelain bottle was handed over.
Zhao An took it tremblingly, and even though his brain was running at high speed, he didn't know how to avoid this misfortune.
Chen Yuru said displeased: "You still don't accept it? What? Eunuch Zhao doesn't really treat me and the prince?"
"Eunuch Zhao, don't be afraid. There is an antidote to the Heart-Eating Gu. If you sincerely help me, there will be no shortage of antidotes in the future. When the prince comes of age and ascends to the throne, I will naturally help your father-in-law to cure the Heart-Eating Gu."
Chang Ming smiled and made a gesture of invitation.
Zhao Anxin opened the jade porcelain bottle and swallowed it in one gulp.
Gulu!
My throat hurt, and something fell into my stomach.
"good very good!"
Chen Yuru was overjoyed, "I have indeed seen the right person. Eunuch Zhao, please tell me what your next actions will be, and I will fully cooperate with you."
"Please, please go to Chen's house and say..."
Zhao An took a deep breath, leaned next to Chen Yuru, and spoke his plan in a low voice.
Chen Yuru's eyes shone brightly, "I will make arrangements now."
"I have to go to see you ladies, so I'll take my leave first."
After Zhao An finished speaking, he left Ningkun Palace without looking back.
Looking at the retreating figure, Chen Yuru said: "Chang Ming, are you sure that he sincerely helps me? If the Chen family is eliminated, I will have no one to rely on, and it will all depend on you and him."
Chang Ming said seriously: "There is no solution to the heart-eating Gu. For the sake of his own life, he will not dare to abandon you."
After receiving such a reply, Chen Yuru finally felt relieved, then gently touched her belly and murmured: "Son, my mother will definitely help you to reach that position. Only you can be the supreme one in the world."
Tianyun Courtyard.
Zhao An squatted in the corner of the hall, frantically pressed his hands on his throat, and vomited.
Concubine Yun on the side was frightened and patted her back nervously, "What's wrong with you?"
Zhao An didn't answer, his scarlet eyes scanned the filth on the floor, and continued to button.
The pungent smell was disgusting, but Concubine Yun didn't dislike it. She was unspeakably uneasy and knew that something big must have happened.
This was the first time she saw Zhao An like this.
After a long time, Zhao An gasped and pinched out a small black pill from the filth.
It was about the size of a small fingernail, its surface had been cracked, and it was a bug with many legs.
The heart-eating Gu has a hard black carapace that can block the erosion of gastric acid for a short period of time. If it enters the digestive tract, its sharp legs and feet can easily penetrate the intestinal wall and hang on the inner wall of the intestinal tract like an accretion disk, releasing trace amounts of toxins.
Therefore, it is necessary to continuously take drugs to hypnotize it and curb the toxicity, which is what Chang Ming calls the antidote.
"Child Chang Ming, if I don't kill you, my surname will not be Zhao!"
Zhao Anjiang threw the little bug to the ground and crushed it into a meat pie.
Concubine Yun came over to help her carefully, her face as white as grease was full of panic, "Are you okay?"
Zhao An nodded, gargled frantically, his mood gradually stabilized, and then he simply explained the whole story to her.
