Fortunate Young Gentleman

Tang Ning left Yangshen Temple, parted ways with Wei Jian, walked past a certain palace, and around the corner of a long corridor, she saw a figure waiting in front of her.

Looking at the woman in palace attire in front of her, Tang Ning stopped, cupped her hands and said, "I've seen Concubine Shu."

Concubine Shu held her hands up and said, "Prime Minister Tang, there is no need to be polite."

She smiled slightly and asked, "Have you met Your Majesty?"

Tangning nodded and said, "I've seen it before."

Concubine Fang Shu's expression was a little gloomy, and she said: "Everything in the world is unpredictable. I didn't expect His Majesty's body to deteriorate so quickly..."

Tang Ning said, "My condolences, Madam."

"If something happens to Your Majesty, Concubine Tang Hui is afraid that she will not let us mother and son go immediately." Concubine Fang Shu wiped the corners of her eyes, gathered her mood, looked at him again, and said, "I and Yuan'er are trapped in the palace, we can't If you go out, please ask Tang Xiang for help..."

Tangning waved her hand and said, "To help your empress is to help me..."

After Tang Ning left the palace, Concubine Tang Hui was furious in a certain hall of the harem.

The eunuchs and maids in the palace stood in the palace tremblingly, not daring to make a sound.

"How dare this scoundrel speak to me like this!"

"The man named Wei, a dead eunuch, dares to go against me!"

…

Thinking of what had just happened in front of the Yang Temple, she became even more angry and smashed everything she saw in front of her.

A palace maid hurriedly walked in from outside and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Concubine Tang Hui looked at her and said with a serious face: "Tell me, what did your Majesty say to him?"

The maid said: "Your Majesty told him to make His Royal Highness Prince Duan the crown prince, and asked him to assist His Highness with all his heart. He also gave him a dragon-beating whip..."

"Dragon whip?" Concubine Tang Hui snorted coldly and said, "I really thought that with the dragon whip, I could do whatever I wanted. When Ming'er comes to power, it will be your death!"

She looked at the palace maid and asked, "What else did your Majesty say?"

The palace maid looked at her and said, "Your Majesty also said that he originally wanted to pass the throne to King Run..."

"I knew it!" Tang Huifei's face darkened and she said, "That bitch asked Zhao Yuan to pretend to be filial, she must have no good intentions!"

After learning about this, the trace of guilt she felt towards Emperor Chen instantly disappeared without a trace. A sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth and she said, "It seems that this move was indeed the right one..."

…

As Tang Ning left the harem and walked towards the imperial gate, she suddenly stopped and looked behind a pillar somewhere.

A figure walked out from behind the pillar, and when she saw his face clearly, Tangning was suddenly shocked: "It's you!"

The man smiled and said, "Master Tang still remembers me..."

Tang Ning looked at Han Ming, the former Minister of Household Affairs who was supposed to be dead, and subconsciously asked, "Are you a human or a ghost?"

Although he is an atheist, time travel has happened to him, so there is nothing else that is impossible.

Even so, he was still startled when someone who had been dead for several years appeared in front of him.

Han Ming said: "Although Han deserves to die, His Majesty was kind and spared the life of the guilty minister..."

Chen Huang's kindness was the biggest joke Tang Ning heard today, but he was not interested in arguing with Han Ming. Knowing that he was a human and not a ghost, he felt completely at ease.

Han Ming looked at him with a strange look on his face and said: "At that time, Han never expected that Mr. Tang could sit in such a high position in such a short period of time..."

Tangning waved her hand and said, "It's just luck..."

"Luck is also a kind of skill. Only Mr. Tang has the kind of luck that can make His Majesty trust him so much."

At this point, his tone suddenly changed and he said, "It's just that King Duan is about to take over. I wonder how Mr. Tang wants to deal with himself?"

Tangning looked at him and asked, "What do you want to say, Master Han?"

"There are no eternal enemies." Han Ming looked at him and said, "Master Tang is already the right minister at a young age. He will definitely leave his name in history. Why bother to go against King Duan and get into a dead end? ?”

Tangning smiled and said, "But my enemies don't think so..."

"Then Mr. Tang must take a step back first." Han Ming looked at him and said: "Losing Mr. Tang is a loss for the court and the country. Han also thinks about Mr. Tang. I hope Mr. Tang will consider Han's words carefully. There are some things that Han can see more clearly. After all, Han has already died once..."

Tangning glanced at him, shook her head and said, "Who isn't?"

…

Han Ming's incident was just an episode. No matter what his position was, whether he was really admonishing or had ulterior motives, Tangning didn't care.

He walked out of the palace and put the matter behind him.

Chen Huang acted very quickly. Not long after Tang Ning returned home, he had someone deliver the dragon-beating whip.

Zhong Mingli looked at the golden whip, a look of shock appeared on his face, and he couldn't believe it: "This is..."

Tangning nodded and said, "It's the dragon whip."

Zhong Mingli looked shocked and hurriedly took two steps forward to inspect the legendary object.

The Dragon Beating Whip was created by Emperor Gaozu, but no minister has ever owned it. Legend has it that anyone who owns this whip can beat down the emperor and beat down treacherous ministers. Only ministers with high virtue and high respect cannot own it.

When Zhong Mingli was carefully looking at the dragon whip, A Duo walked in with a large bag in his hand. When he saw the whip in his hand, his eyes lit up and he said, "Brother Tang, this golden whip is so beautiful..."

The dragon whip is the highest power given by the emperor to a minister, so naturally he will not be fooled. This whip is made entirely of gold and is made by the most skilled craftsmen. It is carved with dragons and phoenixes, which looks very beautiful.

Tangning looked at the big and small bags in A'duo's hands, smiled, and said, "Going out to buy things again?"

As a girl who came from the mountains, within a few days of arriving in the capital, she was lost in the prosperity and wealth of the capital. Tangning gave her 10,000 taels of silver notes. She went out shopping almost every day these days. Although she bought Most of the things were useless, but as long as she was happy, Tangning would let her go.

After a while, her excitement will pass and she will return to normal.

After her father-in-law read it, Tang Ning threw the golden whip to A'duo to play with. She was about to ask her if she was still used to it in the capital. As if she noticed something, she suddenly turned her head and looked at him, sniffing something. The fourth elder was shocked: "What are you doing?"

I don't know when, the fourth elder actually walked up behind him. An old face was only an inch away from his body. He kept sniffing something with his nose. No matter how he looked at it, there was a perverted smell...

Being smelled like this by an old woman who was over sixty years old made Tangning shudder. She couldn't help but shudder and took a few steps back.

At this time, the fourth elder looked up at him and asked in surprise: "Did you use Anshen Incense?"

Tangning looked at her and asked, "What is the soothing incense?"

The fourth elder said: "It is a strange fragrance from Guizhou. It is colorless and odorless. Used in moderation, it can soothe the mind and help you sleep. Once too much, it will turn into a poisonous fragrance that kills people..."

Tangning glanced at her and said, "You can smell colorless and odorless things. Do you have a dog's nose?"

The fourth elder explained: "Although the soothing incense is colorless and odorless, it has always been mixed with other incense. It will change the taste of the original incense..."

Tang Ning turned aside the fourth elder and asked, "Why is there no record of the poisonous fragrance you mentioned in the Book of All Poisons?"

Tang Ning, like Su Mei, was well versed in the Ten Thousand Poisons Manual, and ordinary poisonous poisons could not be hidden from his eyes.

The Fourth Elder glanced at him and said, "Because this poisonous incense was created by me more than ten years ago..."

"You have nothing to do with creating such a thing that harms people..." Tang Ning looked at the fourth elder and stopped abruptly before finishing her sentence.

He suddenly remembered that a lot of incense seemed to be used in the palace where Emperor Chen was. This was because Emperor Chen had insomnia and had many dreams and needed to use it to help him sleep.

A few months ago, Tang Ning discovered an incense used by Chen Huang, which he had never smelled before. It was the same as the fragrance he smelled in Yangshen Temple today.

The smell on his body should be that of incense.

Tangning had always thought that it was just a rare spice sent as tribute from foreign countries, and she didn't suspect anything...

Now it seems that Chen Huang has been using a lot of the soothing incense mentioned by the fourth elder in the past few months?

In other words, he is not seriously ill, but poisoned?
