Chapter 272: This is what I have seen for thirty years
Li Dehai nodded, "Go back to the emperor, this year is the old slave's thirtieth year in the palace."
Dugu Chen nodded, "Then what do you think of this matter?"
"This..." Li Dehai was confused: "I dare not talk nonsense. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"It's okay, there are only two of you and me here. No matter what you say, I will pardon you." Dugu Chen said calmly
Li Dehai had just seen the bloody words on Cui'er's clothes and knew that the emperor had suspected the queen mother.
No, we can’t say we have suspicions. The Emperor’s suspicions about the Queen Mother were already there when Fang Guiren made a big fuss in the harem that night. With what Concubine Wan said today and with the evidence now, all the suspicions have gradually become the truth.
Li Dehai hesitated for a moment, sighed, and said: "Your Majesty, actually... I don't like what I said. In the harem, such a thing is very common, and it is not the same in the temple. Chao Shang
Everyone among the officials is vying for power and high position, but what people in the harem are vying for is you, the emperor..."
"The emperor has grown up in the palace since he was a child, and he must have seen such things. But the emperor, you should also understand what will happen to this harem of three thousand people if they don't work hard to climb up..." He said,
Li Dehai's eyes turned red, "Just like Liang Guiren, now Wan Guiren has become Wan Fei, but the emperor doesn't even remember that there is such a number one person as Liang Guiren."
Li Dehai said, paused, and then said: "Old servant, if you were to poison today only a good person but not a good person, would you still be so concerned about it, and would you still be sure to find out the truth?"
Dugu Chen was startled. Li Dehai was right. If there was no Fang nobleman today and only the good nobleman was poisoned, maybe he could just respond lightly because he didn't even remember who the good nobleman was.
Sure enough, if this is the case, the noble man will die inexplicably. Even after his death, he may not remember that one of his concubines died and was poisoned.
Thinking of this, Dugu Chen took a deep breath. No wonder, no wonder the concubines in the harem tried their best to scheming, one was more vicious than the other, and each was more ruthless than the other.
If you don't be ruthless, if you don't get rid of your powerful enemy, if you don't have the favor of the emperor, no one will know about it even if you die.
Thinking of this, Dugu Chen rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Should... I turn a blind eye to this? Not pursue it?"
Li Dehai sighed and said: "That's it. Although the struggle in the upper court is complicated, it can also be understood. However, the struggle in the harem is bound by emotions. It is constantly cut and confused.
I can't tell right from wrong, I can't tell right from wrong. The only criterion for judgment is who do you favor, the emperor, who do you have feelings for, who do you want to keep, who do you want to protect..."
Hearing this, Dugu Chen suddenly smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect that I can't see these things as clearly as you."
Li Dehai nodded, "The emperor cares about the world, and the old slave has been in this harem for thirty years and has seen these things every day, month, and year, so he will be more familiar with the emperor than the emperor..."
"What you said is very useful. I know what to do." Dugu Chen nodded and said
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Dehai hurriedly bowed his head to thank him. In the past, every word he said would have been a crime of beheading.
At this time, Mo Li hurriedly walked in, bowed and said: "Go back to the emperor and find out everything."
