Chapter 145 The Conspiracy Emerges
"Miss, you don't have to worry, the prince will definitely return your title."

Xiaotao has followed Yan Ruobing for so many years, so she can naturally figure out what Yan Ruobing is thinking.In fact, she very much hoped that Yan Ruobing could return to the palace to live, and then trample all those arrogant women under her feet.

It's because her young lady doesn't have that competitive character, otherwise she wouldn't have chosen to use feigned death to avoid it.

After waiting for a stick of incense, Huangfu Ao quickly walked out of the palace.

Huangfu Ao changed into a court uniform, and looked more majestic.

After Huangfu got into the carriage, the carriage drove straight towards the imperial palace, and gradually disappeared into the dark night.

Entering the palace so late, the security of the palace is still very strict.

After layers of investigations, the carriage could no longer move forward after entering the palace, so Huangfu Ao could only walk into the palace with Yan Ruobing.

Yan Ruobing had already changed into a bodyguard's outfit in the carriage, so her identity as following Huangfu Ao did not arouse much suspicion.

The two came outside the emperor's bedroom, but were stopped by the eunuch in charge.

"See the prince, the emperor has already rested, the prince should come back tomorrow."

Although the eunuch said so, the lights in the emperor's bedroom had not been turned off, so he was clearly talking nonsense with his eyes open.

Huangfu Ao looked at the eunuch with a serious look, and said in a cold tone: "Eunuch Liu, it's because this king hasn't returned to the palace for many days, even you can ignore this king, right?"

Although it was night now, Huangfuao was the regent after all, and had the right to meet the emperor at any time.

So the eunuch asked them to come back tomorrow, which would naturally cause Huangfu Ao's displeasure.

Seeing the displeasure on Huangfu Ao's face, then Eunuch Liu looked around, and then whispered to Huangfu Ao: "My lord, it's not that this slave deliberately made things difficult for you. It's the emperor who said it. I don't see anyone, and this slave dare not disobey the emperor." will."

"Bastard! Father has been closed in the bedroom for half a month, if something happens, can you bear it?"

"Speak! What the hell is going on?"

Huangfu shouted proudly, which made Eunuch Liu break into a cold sweat, and he finally told the truth when he had no choice.

"Returning to the lord, in fact, it is a lie that the emperor's dragon body is not in good shape, and it is true to practice the technique of immortality."

"In the past month, the emperor has not been to the morning court, nor has he seen anyone behind closed doors. He is practicing the technique of immortality."

Listening to what Eunuch Liu said, Huangfu Ao and Yan Ruobing finally got some ideas, but more doubts also emerged.

The emperor is practicing immortality alone in the palace?What kind of cultivation method is it?So what?None of them knew.

Leaving aside whether the technique of immortality really exists, even if it does exist, it cannot be practiced overnight.

What's more, the court affairs were delayed for a whole month, and it is impossible to estimate how much the impact will be.

Yan Ruobing and Huangfu Ao knew about the immortality elixir, and it was impossible for it to exist.

And the medicine she gave Huangfu Ao back then, Huangfu Ao also returned it to her, and did not dedicate it to the emperor.

Yan Ruobing also learned from Huangfu Ao that since the emperor was entrusted with a dream by an immortal, the emperor began to irrationally send people around to search for the immortality elixir.

And Huangfu Ao returned empty-handed before, which also made the emperor furious.

After cross-examination, Huangfu Ao learned from Eunuch Liu that the emperor was indeed taking a kind of elixir of immortality, and this elixir was a tribute paid by the Bai family a month ago.

Because the Bai family has provided medicine for the palace for generations, the emperor also trusted the Bai family very much, and even handed over the whole matter of refining the elixir to the Bai family.

Yan Ruobing was dumbfounded when she heard it, she never expected that the Bai family would take on such a troublesome matter.

But thinking that since the matter was related to the Bai family, Yan Ruobing was no longer so worried about the emperor's safety, because she knew that the Bai family would not poison the emperor.

As for the specific details, she can find her uncle to find out.

"My lord, now you know the situation, so please go back. The emperor just finished his medicine, so he won't see you, lord."

After finishing the matter, Eunuch Liu tried to persuade him again.

But Huangfu Ao was not fooled by his few words, and said: "Since that's the case, then I will wait here all the time, and I will go in when my father can see me."

This time it was said that the emperor had just used up the medicine, so if he came again next time, he might find some excuse.

Huangfu Ao was not a fool, of course he would not give up easily, so he chose to wait outside the bedroom.

At the same time, Huangfu Ao quietly winked at Yan Ruobing, signaling her to find a chance to check the situation in the bedroom.

Waiting like this is naturally not an option, so Huangfu Ao can only stand outside the bedroom, divert everyone's attention, and let Yan Ruobing investigate the situation.

After receiving Huangfu Ao's hint, Yan Ruobing retreated quietly, then bypassed the guarding guards, and dexterously jumped onto the roof to take a peek at the situation in the bedroom.

After Yan Ruobing found the location, she gently lifted the tiles on the roof, and then observed what was going on in the emperor's bedroom.

Originally, she thought that even if the emperor was practicing the technique of immortality, he should have a ruddy complexion and sit upright in meditation to absorb the aura from the world.

But when she saw the emperor, she was so surprised that her eyes almost fell to the ground.

Because the facts are not as simple as what Eunuch Liu said. What she saw was that the emperor was lying on the bed dying, his lips were dry and purple, and he was breathing hard with his mouth open. It looked like he was terminally ill. appearance.

But in just one month, the emperor looked as thin as dry wood, without the majesty of the ninety-five-year-old at all, like an old man who was critically ill and about to die.

In the huge palace, there is not even a servant serving, it is empty and deserted.

Since she couldn't enter the palace, Yan Ruobing couldn't feel the emperor's pulse, nor did she know the current physical condition of the emperor. She could only preliminarily deduce based on observations that what the emperor took was not the medicine of immortality, but a deadly poison.

Since Eunuch Liu has already insisted that the Bai family has been supplying medicine to the emperor, it is more or less related to the Bai family.

"What the hell is uncle doing? If something happens to the emperor, the Bai family will be punished by everyone!"

Yan Ruobing couldn't help talking to herself, and after finding out the situation, she quickly returned to Huangfu Ao's side.
