After being turned into cannon fodder, I relied on involution to survive

Chen Hushan, who is smarter than a ghost, has never been close to any of the eldest prince, second prince and Xiao Shaoke since the news of Yang Zhengde's death came out.

Citing his recent gastrointestinal discomfort, he took the trouble to leave the palace and return home at noon every day to eat a light meal that he said was carefully prepared for him by his chef.

As for the eldest princess who was moved out of the palace because she was "infected with smallpox" and was of absolutely no value to Chen Hushan, Chen Hushan said that he had almost forgotten that this person was his former classmate.

Fang Huaiying was actually a little disappointed when he made the four words "seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages" so obvious, but Yu Zizhen felt that the more he behaved like this, the easier it would be for him to carry him behind his back and do things that would not let him notice. thing.

If he came, Yu Zizhen would still be on tenterhooks, worrying whether this sharp-minded guy would judge from the eldest prince's mental state that he and the emperor were not in such panic, fear and anxiety that they were about to fall off the cliff.

Yu Zizhen didn't want to have too much dealings with people who were too shrewd and too good at seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.

On the contrary, Yu Zizhen prefers to make friends with Fang Huaiying, a person who is smart but has principles and bottom lines.

After they secretly dug the tunnel that led from the eldest prince's bedroom directly to the outlet of the living water in the imperial garden, Queen Mother Lu finally found out how she was poisoned.

It turned out that just about three months ago, Lu Tong had already found the nanny beside her who she trusted the most.

She brought that nanny out from the Lu family. Not only has she been there for her in the past decades, but she has also been framed more than once because of her. She has even been beaten, forced to kneel, and tortured more than ten times because of her. .

Da Lu's trust in her was only slightly less than her trust in herself, so she really didn't expect that the other party would betray her at first.

However, the evidence was there, and no matter how much she didn't want to believe it, she still had to brace herself to deal with the traitor.

The nanny didn't try to excuse herself like other moles who were caught. After she was brought to Da Lu, she cried and confessed the cause and effect of the incident.

It turned out that although this nanny never married and had no surviving children, she did have a nephew who was the only surviving member of her family.

From her story, Da Lu learned that it was Lu Tong who threatened her with her nephew's life and asked her to drug Da Lu, and Lu Tong also swore to tell her that he did not want Da Lu's life. , I just hope that Da Lu can stop being so energetic and always focusing on the affairs of the previous dynasty every day, and can retreat behind the scenes to take care of himself after realizing that his energy is low.

The nanny cried and kowtowed to Da Lu, saying that she did not know that the medicine would gradually lead to Da Lu's death, so she was confused and agreed to help Lu Tong give the medicine to Da Lu.

Da Lushi directly filtered her words automatically. Everyone is a hardcore Gong Dou player. Have they not seen enough scenes of father and son and brothers fighting each other?

Both father and son can kill each other, not to mention that she and Lu Tong are just the same mother.

Da Lu believed that even if Lu Tong really said this to the nanny, the nanny would definitely not believe what he said.

She just chose to protect her nephew between her old master and her nephew.

Da Lu was too lazy to listen to her cries. Her love for her as a master and servant had been completely exhausted by her at the moment she learned the truth.

The only thing she wants to know now is what kind of poison Lu Tong gave her.

The special spices mixed with poisonous powder were quickly searched out from Grandma's house. After examination by the imperial doctor, they found that the poison was actually a very rare chronic poison.

This poison will make the poisoned person's body slowly become weak without realizing it. When the weakness reaches a certain level, a person who looks good on the outside will die due to minor problems such as catching a cold. Being so vicious yet leaving no trace, it is obvious that Lu Tong had the intention of taking over the power at her hand while killing the big Lu family.

Da Lu closed her eyes. Was she really lonely from beginning to end in her life?

Once upon a time, the man who kept saying he loved her was attracted by beauties one after another, so that even though she was on every possible precaution, she was still tricked in the end.

Now, her brother, who had gained great power because of her, was actually coming to take her life.

Taking a deep breath, Mrs. Lu waved her hand and asked someone to drag the nanny out and deal with it.

After a long time, in the empty and silent palace, the old voice of the Great Lu family sounded again, "The news was released to the outside world, saying that I accidentally contracted the cold. It has been delayed for a long time, and now I am seriously injured and terminally ill."

Her confidants, who had been holding their breath and concentrating before, not daring to make any sound at all, heard the sound and hurriedly responded "yes" in a low voice.

One of them bowed out and went to ventilate with the imperial doctor who was responsible for diagnosing Da Lu's pulse. The others followed Da Lu's instructions and took her orders to do certain things.

When the news reached Nan Study, Yu Zizhen quietly suggested to the emperor, "Your Majesty, why not issue an imperial edict and order the queen to take her concubines and princes and princesses out of the palace and go to Huangjue Temple to pray for the queen mother."

The emperor followed his kindness and immediately wrote an imperial edict. After receiving the edict, everyone else went to pack their luggage, but Xiao Lu directly rejected the emperor's edict.

Next, she had big things to do. How could she go to the temple to pray for the old immortal at this juncture?

She said to the eunuch who went to deliver the order: "I am incapable of getting out of the palace. If I can just let those useless things pray for blessings, I will stay in the palace to take care of my mother and take care of the palace affairs."

The so-called "useless things" she called were some low-ranking concubines, including the eldest princess's biological mother.

It is worth mentioning that Xiao Lu did not pack Ning Bin, the biological mother of the third prince, whom she usually disliked, and threw her out of the palace.

After the low-ranking concubines, including the eldest princess's biological mother, left, the queen immediately announced Ning Concubine to her palace.

She gave Ning Bin a pack of powerful poison that Lu Tong had sent to the palace, which could see blood and seal the throat, "Do you know what you should do?"

After the news that the Queen Mother was seriously ill reached the Lu family, Lu Tong had people deliver the poison to the palace. The person who delivered the medicine also notified Queen Xiao Lu and asked her to supervise Ning Bin to poison the emperor as soon as possible.

The queen was neither surprised nor shocked by her father's decision, because it was something they had discussed long ago.

The Queen Mother is going to die, so there is no need for the Emperor to continue to exist.

And his crippled son, they can die together.

Thinking of this, little Lu's eyes couldn't help flashing a sinister light.
