Gao Jinzhong is the weakest among the three forces, so the excuse is appropriate, He Yuansheng can swallow the peasant army directly in one bite.

However, Gao Jinzhong endured it and things were a little difficult to deal with, and He Yuansheng could not continue to do it, because doing too much would make many people unite to deal with him.

The next day, it was just dawn, and Gao Jinzhong couldn't wait to leave Xuchang and returned to Nanjing as if he was escaping.

After arranging trivial matters, He Yuansheng led the army back to Nanjing.

Halfway through, He Yuansheng received a secret letter from Ye Yumeng.

After reading the letter, He Yuansheng mailed an order to speed up the team. He took some of his personal soldiers and returned to Nanjing day and night.

Three days later, He Yuansheng returned to Changning Marquis' Mansion, but was in a hurry to go, his body covered with dust.

"Why are you so haggard!"

Looking at He Yuansheng's dusty look, Zhao Wanyi felt very distressed. While instructing the servants to fetch water, she also took action to help He Yuansheng change his clothes.

Ye Yumeng, who was beside him, also came over to help, and she had a tacit understanding with Zhao Wanyi.

"Some things need to be dealt with, so I'm in a hurry to come back!"

He responded lightly and washed up under the service of the two girls.

Zhao Wanyi has a cold personality and does not care about external affairs, so after hearing He Yuansheng's words, she did not ask more questions.

After He Yuansheng finished washing up, he said, "I'll go prepare dinner," and then retreated.

"what is going on?"

As soon as Zhao Wanyi left, He Yuansheng asked, with a bit of solemnity in his tone.

"The little emperor must have been poisoned. It is very likely that it was the Supreme Emperor's attack..."

Ye Yumeng answered with a very relaxed expression, as if she had some plans.

During this period, the little emperor's health has become worse and worse, and several imperial physicians are helpless.

Ye Yumeng didn't think much about it, because birth, old age, sickness and death are very common, even if the sick person has a noble status, it is useless.

Unexpectedly, a few days ago, a dark thread in the palace discovered that some parts of the little emperor's body appeared purple-blue and a little swollen.

This situation made Ye Yumeng suspicious, and immediately sent someone to investigate the inside story and found several imperial doctors who treated the little emperor to understand the situation.

Almost all of these imperial doctors knew nothing about it. After all, the poison in the little emperor was very secretive and ordinary people could not see it at all.

There was an imperial doctor named Li who noticed the abnormality, but he was smart and cautious in nature. He knew that this was very dangerous, so he wanted to pretend to be confused.

But Ye Yumeng was even smarter. The imperial doctor surnamed Li could not hide it from her at all. After using some methods, he made the person spit out some inside information.

"This Supreme Emperor is really cruel!"

After listening to Ye Yumeng’s story, He Yuansheng said sarcastically.

He paused, as if he had thought of something: "Not your work here?"

The reason for asking this is that the little emperor died of poisoning, and there will be chaos in the court, which will be beneficial to He Yuansheng.

"I didn't do anything like this, I just stood by and watched!"

Ye Yumeng responded with a smile, without any sign of nervousness.

He Yuansheng was relieved only because this matter could make a big deal. If Ye Yumeng had some trouble, it would be a little trouble.

After all, what you have done will leave some traces. Once it is noticed, it will affect He Yuansheng's reputation.

"This Supreme Emperor is really inhumane!"

Since Ye Yumeng did not participate, He Yuansheng can take advantage of the issue with confidence and boldness.

Anyway, he defeated the Yuan Dynasty and his prestige increased greatly. Many things he could not do before can be done now.

What's more, if this royal scandal is used properly, you can get a lot of things.

But what he hesitated was whether to take action now or wait for the little emperor to die suddenly.

If the little emperor made what Emperor Yongchang did to the world after his death, then the few prestige left in the royal family would disappear, and He Yuansheng would have the chance to replace him.

But there is also a huge disadvantage to doing this, that is, the Dagan Dynasty will completely fall apart.

After thinking for a while, He Yuansheng opened his mouth and instructed: "Come the doctor Li who is familiar with it, and I have something to ask him!"

Ye Yumeng immediately nodded and immediately ordered his servants to take the post from the Changning Marquis' Mansion and invite Doctor Li.

An hour later, Doctor Li appeared in front of He Yuansheng, but his expression was a little flustered.

"Have you met Changning Hou?" He bowed and bowed nervously.

"No gift, please sit down!"

Respond to the sentence, and then instructed the servants to serve tea.

After Doctor Li sat down, He Yuansheng saw that he was very nervous and immediately spoke: "Doctor I don't have to worry. No matter what happens, it will not affect you!"

"Thank you, Marquis!"

After receiving this promise, Doctor Li excitedly answered, with a hint of ecstasy in his expression.

After all, it was a huge matter for the emperor to be poisoned, and Doctor Li naturally knew that the water was very deep.

In ancient times, doctors had a low status and were likely to lose their lives and even cause disasters to the whole family when involved in these matters.

This is also one of the reasons why Doctor Li discovered the inside story but kept silent, which is that he did not want to cause trouble.

"Now ask you something, you must answer me honestly!"

He Yuansheng's attitude became serious because he had to understand the specific situation before he could decide what to do.

"Don't worry, the marquis, everyone in the lower ranks will speak!"

"How long can the emperor's body last?"

As soon as this said, Doctor Li immediately revealed a look of thought. After a while, he slowly spoke:

The emperor probably has not much time left. If he ignores it, he may not be able to hold on for two months."

"Two months!"

He Yuansheng's face changed a little, because the little emperor didn't live long, so he had only one way left.

After thinking for a while, he continued to speak: "Can you find a way to delay for a while!"

"this!"

Doctor Li hesitated for a moment before speaking: "The poison in the emperor is a secret medicine called purple bamboo flower. This medicine is very strange and will make people die silently within a year, without any flaws."

The reason why the lower officials could see was that they were poisoned, which increased their weight and made the emperor's body react.

Because he has increased his weight, the emperor's body has been completely finished."

First, I introduced the situation of the poison, and then changed the subject: "However, this poison needs to be used several times in a row. If the emperor is not poisoned and tries his best to recuperate, he can last for three years."

This answer made He Yuansheng feel relieved and made a decision.

"Doctor Li stayed at my marquis's mansion. I will send someone to take your family over later!"

This person needs to be used in some subsequent things, so He Yuansheng naturally needs to ensure his safety.

"Thank you, Marquis!"

Doctor Li thanked him, and the joy on his face could no longer be hidden.

Because I stayed in Changning Hou Mansion, the safety of the whole family was guaranteed.

Afterwards, Ye Yumeng arranged the matter, and she called her servants to take Doctor Li away and settle down, and sent some people to pick up his family.

After doing these trivial matters, he asked He Yuansheng: "The master wants to save the little emperor's life!"

The tone was a bit puzzled, because after the little emperor died, he exposed the conspiracy of Emperor Yongchang and the royal family would become a past tense, and He Yuansheng could also replace it.

So Ye Yumeng felt that she should not stop this matter, but instead wanted to push her.

From Ye Yumeng's reaction, He Yuansheng knew what she was thinking and immediately responded: "The little emperor cannot die yet, otherwise the world will fall apart!"

"But if you miss this opportunity..."

Although Ye Yumeng is smart, she has some limitations, so she feels that this is an opportunity to replace her.

"Once the world falls apart, I can only control the two provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. It will be difficult to reorganize the country!"

This is why He Yuansheng wanted to protect the young emperor. After all, in many provinces, although mercenaries began to respect themselves, the court still had some influence.

If the court is really finished, it will become a situation where the princes compete for hegemony. Even if He Yuansheng has the greatest power, he doesn't know how long it takes to pacify the world.

"What a pity!"

After knowing He Yuansheng’s thoughts, Ye Yumeng didn’t say much, but was just a little disappointed.

"At most, I will wait a few more years. I will be young and can afford to wait!"

Looking at Ye Yumeng's lost look, He Yuansheng comforted him a few words, but his heart was also a little turbulent.

After all, that position is the supreme emperor in the world, and everyone will be moved, and so is He Yuansheng.

After a while, He Yuansheng recovered his mood and continued to speak: "Although he wants to protect the little emperor's life, this matter must be exposed and let the people of the world see what this Supreme Emperor is!"
