Chapter 252 Chapter 251
The Queen Mother's face became gloomy, "That's just the appearance."

"Later, the late emperor discovered that the Southern Barbarian Lord actually took advantage of the opening of commercial cooperation between the two dynasties to place spies in Datong and establish a Southern Barbarian stronghold. The ambition of the Southern Barbarians is evident."

"Not only that, Concubine Zhang has not been pregnant for many years. It was later found out that it was the Nanman Lord who arranged for He Fanxing to secretly drug Concubine Zhang." The Queen Mother seemed to have thought of what happened that year.

He Fanxing also gave the late emperor a love potion and became pregnant with the late emperor's son. The Nanman Lord attempted to use He Fanxing's child to control Datong, so he secretly sent someone to assassinate the late emperor.

Lin Youyi was horrified when he heard this, "Didn't the late emperor die of illness?"

The Queen Mother shook her head and said in a heavy tone, "It's poisoning!" The late Emperor and her were married, and they had a sweet time together.

Although the late emperor did not love her, he treated her with respect.

"What?!" At this moment, Li Duanjin's figure rushed in quickly.

This is the biggest secret of the royal family. Fortunately, Li Duan Jinping retired everyone.

The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Li Duanjin was alone.

But Li Duanjin was extremely shocked. He always thought that his father was deeply shocked by the death of Concubine Zhang, and died young because he contracted an illness and did not receive active treatment.

"What does the imperial doctor do for a living?!" He couldn't even cure his father's poison? ?
The Queen Mother was helpless, "The poison is very strange. It seems to be eliminated, but it will come back soon."

Lin Youyi was startled, and the memory of Princess Yichang suddenly mentioned in her mind, "Did my grandfather also suffer from this poison?"

"That's right." The Queen Mother nodded, "This poisoned the Emperor of Datong and the most important minister, alas."

The Queen Mother sighed, "Sadly, no antidote has been developed yet."

The Queen Mother explained the whole story clearly in a few words, but Li Duanjin and Lin Youyi deeply understood the Queen Mother's efforts over the years.

The late emperor died of poisoning and entrusted her to assist Li Duanjin. It has not been easy for the Queen Mother all these years.

Since Nanman is so ambitious, he will definitely not give Datong a chance to breathe.

"The Southern Barbarians are bullying others too much!" Li Duanjin was very angry with blue veins jumping on his forehead.

"Your Majesty has now taken over the government. The Ai family is very pleased to see that you have acted steadily over the years."

The Queen Mother carefully warned, "The responsibility of Datong will be in your hands from now on. If you want to deal with the Nanman Aijia without blocking it, the most important thing is to give birth to an heir with the queen as soon as possible. Your Majesty is not allowed to go to war with the Nanman before he has an heir." "

Li Duanjin was furious, but he did not lose his mind. He knew that now was not the time to deal with the Nanman, and he had to first find and remove the Nanman's hidden stakes in Datong.

"My son, I promise my mother." Li Duanjin promised.

"Thank you for your hard work, mother." Li Duanjin said with emotion.

The Queen Mother's eyes were filled with tears, and she wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, "The hardest thing is not this palace, but..."

The Queen Mother looked at Lin Youyi and finished her words, "It's your grandfather."

"When your father just passed away, the Nanman took the opportunity to start a war. The emperor was still young at that time. Thanks to General Lin, he defeated the Nanman and Beirong, but he was also poisoned."

"The only thing the Ai family owes in this life is your grandfather." The Queen Mother had agreed to make Lin Youyi the queen because of General Lin.

……

After coming out of Cining Palace, the emperor and empress met Guo Drew together, and a story about Concubine Zhang became clearer.

Zhang Guifei is an extremely intelligent woman and Zhang Chuan's half-sister. She is quite different in age from him and has not had any feelings for her since she was a child.

But Concubine Zhang had a face that could charm a country, so Zhang Chuan, who was defeated by the late emperor, used a beauty trick.

Since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by beauty, and the famous and wise late emperor was no exception. He fell in love with Concubine Zhang, and even abandoned the six courtyards of the harem to build the Chen Palace, doting on her alone.Before Zhang Guifei, there were queens and other concubines who gave birth to several princesses, but no prince could inherit the throne.

The late emperor had doted on Concubine Zhang alone for many years, but Concubine Zhang had never been able to conceive, and it was later discovered that she had been poisoned.

The late emperor tried his best to detoxify Concubine Zhang, but due to the pressure from the former harem, the late emperor had to make the queen pregnant.

At this time, Zhang Chuan asked the maid He Fanxing who was placed next to Concubine Zhang to give the late emperor medicine, and she became pregnant with the late emperor's son.

Concubine Zhang found out that the person who poisoned her was He Fanxing. The fact that He Fanxing was pregnant and protected by the late emperor caused a rift between the late emperor and Concubine Zhang, so no one discovered that Concubine Zhang was pregnant.

The queen's child was stillborn, and it was eventually discovered that it was Nanman's handiwork. The late emperor forced He Fanxing to question him, which led to He Fanxing's premature birth and the child's death due to dystocia.

The late emperor ordered General Lin to conduct a thorough investigation of the harem and uncovered a number of southern barbarian agents, which led to the great purge.

The reason why the late emperor kept He Fanxing alive after she had a difficult delivery was because of Concubine Zhang's request. It turned out that it was He Fanxing who poisoned the late emperor.

The poison was called "Tanghun". Concubine Zhang wanted to get the antidote from He Fanxing, but finally found that He Fanxing had no antidote at all.

Because of the "soul-haunting" poison, it takes ten years to get one, but there is no antidote.

After Guo Drew left, Lin Youyi thought of He Yameng and looked at Li Duanjin, "You still don't want to explain He Yameng's matter to me now?"

Li Duanjin hugged Lin Youyi who was eating and said, "Of course I don't want to pamper her, I just want to follow the clues and find out who is behind her."

"In addition, the poison of 'Haunting Soul' must be guarded against. According to the time, another 'Haunting Soul' should be born in the Southern Barbarians."

Thinking of the "haunting soul" poison, Lin Youyi became uneasy and said, "You must be cautious from now on and stay away from He Yameng and the He family. Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst."

Seeing Lin Youyi's cautious look, Li Duanjin felt very satisfied.

Nod in agreement.

"What about the Zhang family?" Lin Youyi asked again.

"The Zhang family is the nun who serves my mother. She arranged a way out for her before her death. I arranged for them to do this at the banquet, just to reveal the hidden truth." Li Duanjin explained.

It all makes sense.

Li Duanjin led Lin Youyi to a large picture on the wall, and his eyes fell on Nanman's position.

Nanman is located in the south of Datong. Its territory is similar to that of Datong. It is close to the sea and its main industry is seafood.

Their most developed are sea-going ships, which they use to carry goods and trade with surrounding countries.

"Are you afraid?" Li Duanjin asked quietly.

Lin Youyi shook his head, "The enemy is strong, and we are not weak either. Duan Jin, give me five years."

Li Duanjin understood what Lin Youyi was thinking. It would be too difficult to develop Datong's economy in five years.

"Okay." Li Duanjin believed the people around him without hesitation, "I will eradicate the hidden dangers of the Southern Barbarians and leave the money to you."

Li Duanjin has never underestimated Lin Youyi's ability to govern the country and do business. This time, they join hands not only to live together, but also to fight together.

Lin Youyi smiled back and said words that controlled life and death in a light tone, "The He family cannot stay."
