Reborn as the first poisonous concubine

Chapter 428 The Emperor's Suspicion 4
"Your servant obeys the order!" Han Yunzhi respectfully took the order and left, and Doctor Guanglu Fan Qing and Shang Shuling Shen Rui also bowed their hands and left.

When the Yizheng Hall became empty again, Xiao Heng's complexion still did not improve. Seeing this, the eunuch in charge, Chen Rong, hurriedly ordered the maid to bring the ginseng tea that had been prepared to Xiao Heng, and persuaded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you should still be healthy." It's important, since the matter of the Zhongshu Ling has been settled for the time being, the emperor should take a rest!"

Xiao Heng took the steaming ginseng tea, took a sip, shook his head and sighed: "How can this matter be easily resolved?"

The eunuch in charge, Chen Rong, saw the emperor's dejected expression, and persuaded him: "The emperor has several virtuous ministers to help, and a mere Zhongshuling is not worth the emperor's trouble..."

"At that time, I reused Lu Ziliang because he didn't rely on the gentry as an official. I didn't expect him to let me down!" Xiao Heng smiled self-deprecatingly when he said this.

He was originally worried that the power of several big gentry clans including the Li family of Zhao County, the Langya Wang family, the Chen Jun Xie family, etc. would be too powerful, so he promoted Lu Ziliang and other people with no gentry background to be officials. ambition and greed!

Ever since Concubine Duan gave birth to the fifth prince, Lu Ziliang's behavior became even more insolent, and even lobbied officials everywhere, just to make the fifth prince a prince!
This is the reason why he has not established a crown prince for a long time... He has always kept in mind the historical lesson of the previous dynasty, that he must never allow his relatives to monopolize power. Lu Ziliang wanted to support the fifth prince as crown prince, was it just to make the Lu family powerful all the way? !

Thinking of this, Xiao Heng's lips curled up into a cold smile, which caused the eunuch in charge, Chen Rong, to shudder a bit when he saw it!

He has been serving by the emperor's side all the time, and he knows that the emperor has made up his mind to deal with someone with such a smile on his face!

Whether it was Concubine Luo back then or Empress Li later, they were all eliminated not long after the emperor showed such a sneer? !

"Your Majesty, although Lu Ziliang has done a lot of wrong things, Concubine Duan gave birth to an heir after all..." Chen Rong finally persuaded him. Nowadays, the emperor's heirs are rare, and princes with noble mothers are even rarer. The concubine had finally given birth to the fifth prince for the emperor. If the emperor wanted to move the Lu family, he would definitely turn his anger on concubine Duan and the fifth prince!

"Chen Rong, are you pleading for Concubine Duan?" Before the eunuch in charge Chen Rong finished speaking, Xiao Heng spoke slowly and stared at him thoughtfully.

Although Chen Rong couldn't tell what the emperor was thinking from the emperor's expression, he still broke out in cold sweat after being stared at by the emperor.

"I don't dare, I'm just thinking about the emperor's heir..." Chen Rong hurriedly lowered his head and replied with a sneer.

"Emperor's heir..." Xiao Heng snorted noncommittally, and seeing Chen Rong's nervous appearance, he said with a half-smile: "Forget it, you have been with me for so long, of course I believe you!"

When Xiao Heng said this, he changed the subject and his voice became cold: "But there are many spies buried beside me, in my harem!"

Chen Rong was shocked, remembering that the emperor had ordered him and the servant Deng Xian to thoroughly investigate the affairs of everyone in the palace together because of the assassination of the King of Luoyang, he quickly bowed and answered meticulously: "Your Majesty, the servant and the servant My lord has found out some clues, but I haven't found out who leaked the news..."
