"Mr. Gao..." Su Shi frowned and walked a few steps: "I know about this matter, but I never thought that Mrs. Gao was harmed by others. When she was seriously ill, the emperor was very nervous.
, visited her every three days, and even made her a noble concubine while she was ill. I hope she can get better soon; if she was really poisoned, the emperor should have thoroughly investigated the matter. Why was there no news at all? "
"My son also felt strange. He repeatedly said that Imperial Physician Fang had a relationship with Master Gao. Since he knew that Concubine Huixian was not ill, he should have informed the Emperor and Master Gao, but he did not. The most likely reason was that he had been bribed by someone.
.”
"Wait a minute!" Mrs. Su looked serious and said, "You just said that Fang Jian Jin was appointed as the president of the hospital. It happened to be when Mr. Gao was seriously ill?"
"That's right, I don't know if it's a coincidence or..." Before Yongzhang could finish speaking, Su said with some excitement, "I understand, I know who bribed Fang Jian."
Ever since he overheard this incident, Yong Zhang had been thinking about the person behind the scenes. Hearing this, he hurriedly asked: "Who is it?"
Su Shi smiled coldly and said: "It's none other than your Emperor Ama!"
"Huang Ama?" Yong Zhang was startled, then hurriedly shook his head and said: "Impossible, Huang Ama loves the concubine Huixian so much, how could he harm her life?"
"Nothing is impossible." Mrs. Su stroked the red sandalwood bracelet on her wrist and said coldly: "You said that your Emperor Ama loves Mrs. Gao, so let me ask you, have you ever seen you in all these years?
Did Huang Ama mention the Gao family? No, not a word."
"Perhaps..." Yongzhang thought, "It was because it took so long that Huang Ama forgot about it. He... wouldn't do such a terrible thing."
Su stroked Yongzhang's shoulder and said: "Silly boy, you are too naive. The emperor... is the most terrifying person in the world. For the sake of the throne, they will do anything, and there is nothing they can't do."
Yongzhang still found it difficult to accept her words, "If Imperial Concubine Huixian did something wrong, Emperor Amma could have ordered her to be demoted or even banished to the cold palace. There is no reason..."
"No!" Su interrupted him and said, "Gao Bin, the father of the Gao family, is an expert in managing rivers. Without him to control floods in recent years, nowhere would there be such peace along the river. If the emperor had been
By deposing the Gao family, although Gao Bin will not openly resist the decree, he will undoubtedly no longer try his best to manage the river, which is not allowed by the emperor."
Yongzhang looked complicated and said: "So... Huang Ama issued a decree to confer the title of Imperial Concubine Huixian, and at the same time drugged her to harm her?"
Su nodded and said: "Yes, Gao Bin has been grateful to your Emperor Mama for the past ten years, but little did he know that his daughter died in the hands of your Emperor Mama."
Yongzhang murmured: "It's really scary. I originally thought it was the emperor's mother who killed me, but I didn't expect..."
"The queen does have this intention, but it's a pity that she was not mature at that time, unlike now..." Midway through her words, Su suddenly stopped and asked, "Where does Gao Bin occupy now?"
Yongzhang thought for a while and said uncertainly: "I remember that he should be the governor of Zhengyipin River. During this southern tour, he will greet the emperor in Shandong and then accompany Huang Ama to inspect the river embankments and coastal defenses. Why did E Niang suddenly ask this?
"
Mrs. Su showed a smile and said, "Zhengyipin... is really good." After a moment of pause, she said, "Yongzhang, this person will be your best help after you become an errand in the court."
"Master Gao?" Yongzhang said in astonishment: "I have no friendship or acquaintance with him, so how could he help me?"
"Perhaps not before, but now that you know the truth about his daughter's death, as long as you speak appropriately, he will definitely help you and help you gain a foothold in the court as soon as possible." Su said happily as she became more and more happy.
: "It's God's will. This matter has been hidden for ten years, but you know about it. It seems that even God is helping you!"
"This..." Yongzhang said hesitantly: "Is it really okay? Will it be counterproductive?"
Su said confidently: "As long as you do what I say, you will definitely not do it." As she spoke, she whispered in Yongzhang's ear. Following her words, Yongzhang showed a bit of surprise.
Then he blurted out: "Didn't you just say that this matter has nothing to do with Huang's mother? Why..."
"Do you want to be manipulated and controlled by that woman all the time?" Su's words made Yongzhang silent. After a while, he whispered: "Of course I don't want to, but I still feel uncomfortable lying and unjustly accusing her like this.
good."
"There is nothing we can do about this." Su Shi sighed and said: "Over the years, the queen has continued to eradicate dissidents. Concubine Yu, concubines, and concubines Shu were all destroyed in her hands. Concubine Ying, concubine Hui and so on.
After colluding with her, no one in the palace can check her. Even if Eniang goes out, she will not be able to control her.
To change this situation, Gao Bin is our only hope." Seeing that Yongzhang was silent, she added: "Those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters. Besides, although the Queen has never dealt with the Gao family, it does not mean that she has no intention of dealing with him; if Gao
If she lives to this day, her fate will only be worse than Concubine Yu and Yehenala."
Yongzhang was a little shaken and said: "But Gao Bin is a foreign official. Even if he really believes in his words, how can he deal with the queen?"
"Don't forget that he has been an official in the court for more than 20 years. From an inconspicuous official to a first-class official, he has accumulated many connections. Winning her over is equivalent to winning over that huge network. As long as he
If we use it properly, we may not be able to deal with the queen."
Yongzhang nodded and whispered: "I understand, I will do what E Niang said."
Su sighed, caressed Yongzhang's somewhat thin shoulders and said, "E Niang knows that it is very difficult for you to do these things. Unfortunately, E Niang is in Xinzheku and can do nothing but give advice on some things."
No, I really feel wronged to you."
Yongzhang said hurriedly: "Eniang, don't say such things. You have done a lot for me. When it came to Concubine Yi Min, if Eniang didn't think of a way for me, how could I still be here?"
"It's good that you understand." Mrs. Su was pleased and said, "Yongxuan, did he still mention the Huang family?"
Yong Zhang shook his head and said: "No, it seems that the fourth brother has gradually forgotten about that incident."
Su said happily: "That's good. Don't let Yongxun know about that matter, so as not to hurt your brothers' feelings." After a pause, she said: "Since Gao Bin will accompany the southern tour this time, you can
Look for an opportunity to talk to him about this matter. Remember, only Gao Bin can be present. The fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better."
Yongzhang hesitated for a moment and said: "Then... where is the fourth brother? Can I take him with me?"
Su Shi said in surprise: "Yongxun? Why did you think of taking him with you?"
