Chapter 160: Self-defeating

"The Emperor...... The Emperor"

A few people who were anxiously waiting for Xu Zigui and Mo Leyuan to come back were thinking about how to drag the emperor when he came up for a while, and as soon as they looked up, they saw the emperor. Lan Xiang hurriedly trembled and knelt down to salute

Several people were already weak-hearted, especially Bai Yu Bailan, who had seen Bai Zhi's fate with her own eyes, and knelt on the ground at this time and trembled uncontrollably

The emperor glanced at everyone, couldn't see the expression on his face, and said lightly

"What about your masters? Why don't you come out to pick up the driver"

"Princess...... The princess ......" Bai Yu settled down, took a slight breath, and continued with a calm appearance: "The weather was cold the night ago, and the princess was restless when she slept, and she caught a cold, and the county lord took care of the princess personally after knowing it, but he didn't want the princess to give the princess her illness to the county lord, and now Yuerong and Yuexi are taking care of the two masters in the house."

"It's cold and the wind is cold?" The emperor raised his eyebrows, but he still couldn't see any expression on his face, and he walked towards the house, "Anyang and Yunjin are infected with the cold?" Lead me to them a little"

The emperor had long expected that if Mo Leyuan and the others sneaked away to the frontier, Bai Yu and the others would definitely block him from entering under the pretext of being infected with the wind and cold. So, after the emperor finished speaking, he pointed to the two imperial doctors he brought and said

"Go in and see the princess and the princess."

"Yes!" The two agreed, and as the emperor walked into the house, Bai Yu saw the two imperial doctors, and said in his heart that he was afraid that he would not be able to stop it this time, and Bai Lan was already facing ashes, and secretly said in his heart that he would definitely die this time.

Still Lan Xiang, in a hurry, got up and blocked the emperor: "Your Majesty, please stay!" ”

"How?" The emperor raised his eyebrows, and the corner of his mouth sneered: "Your master is infected with a cold, and I brought the imperial doctor to treat your master." But you stopped me, and I saw that your master was not sick at all, but you did it on purpose! I see you are one of those restless and kind-hearted people! ”

"Your Majesty," seeing that the emperor was angry, everyone knelt down one after another. Although Lan Xiang was still calm on her face, she was already trembling in her heart, and she kowtowed to the emperor to admit her mistakes

"The slave didn't dare. It's just that now the masters haven't changed their clothes. Although the parents of the doctor are concerned, the masters are girls who have not left the cabinet after all, so let the doctor in. I'm afraid it will have a bad reputation for the girls......"

"Slave and maid see the emperor," Lan Xiang was saying, when Red Sleeves suddenly came out of the room and interrupted Lan Xiang's explanation, giving Lan Xiang and the three of them a slight look. Red Sleeves saluted the emperor and continued

"The masters are already dressed and waiting for the imperial doctor to treat them. The masters said that the emperor came to Zhengyuan Temple and should have come out to pick him up. However, today, the masters are seriously ill and can't come out to welcome the emperor in person, and the slaves and maids have come to apologize to the emperor on behalf of the masters."

The emperor nodded, and was quite surprised to hear that Mo Leyuan and the others were now dressed neatly and were waiting for the imperial doctor to go in for treatment, and said in his heart Could it really be Shao Qingyuan talking nonsense. In fact, Mo Leyuan and the others stayed in Zhengyuan Temple honestly?

If the two of them really stayed in Zhengyuan Temple honestly all the time, it means that it is true that the two of them are sick......

Thinking like this, the emperor hurriedly beckoned to the imperial doctor: "Go in and treat the princess." One side took the lead and stepped into the house.

"Father, ......" Seeing the emperor, Mo Leyuan struggled to get up and salute the emperor

The emperor looked at Mo Leyuan, whose face was pale, and hurriedly walked to the bed. Hold down Mo Leyuan, tuck the corner of the quilt for Mo Leyuan and say, "No need to be polite"

He beckoned to the doctors again: "Hurry up and show the princess...... What about Yunjin? ”

After the emperor entered Mo Leyuan's wing, Red Sleeves went back to Xu Zigui's wing room to take care of Xu Zigui, and Lan Xiang followed the emperor into Mo Leyuan's wing, preparing for the emperor to go to see Xu Zigui for a while, so as to lead the emperor over.

At this time, seeing that the emperor asked about Xu Zigui, Lan Xiang, who followed up, hurriedly saluted and replied: "Back to the emperor, our county lord is resting in another room."

The emperor nodded, it happened that at this time, the imperial doctor had just finished diagnosing Mo Leyuan's pulse, and the emperor asked Mo Leyuan's condition, and after hearing that Mo Leyuan was just catching a cold and was fine, he said to Lan Xiang again

"Lead me to see your county lord"

"Yes"

Lan Xiang bowed her knees and agreed, leading the emperor to Xu Zigui's room.

When Xu Zigui saw the emperor, he also struggled to get up to salute, but was stopped by the emperor

The emperor also stepped forward to tuck the corners of the quilt for Xu Zigui, looked at Xu Zigui's pale face like Mo Leyuan, sighed slightly, and instructed the imperial doctor who followed up to diagnose Xu Zigui's pulse

Just now when they were diagnosing Mo Leyuan's pulse, the imperial doctors pinched a handful of sweat, at this time, Xu Zigui and Mo Leyuan's pulses were as stable and powerful, and they felt that the two of them were very healthy, but the two of them were pale, as if they had a very strict disease, and the imperial doctors couldn't tell what disease the two of them had

At this time, I heard the emperor ask about Xu Zigui's condition again, so I had to repeat it again: "The county lord is the same as the princess, his body is fine, but he just has a cold, so the minister will prescribe a prescription, and after a while, the emperor will send someone to drink medicine for the two masters, and it will be fine if they sweat."

The emperor nodded, waved his hand and motioned for Lan Xiang to follow the imperial doctor to grab the medicine, and then looked at Xu Zigui for a while, and said lightly

"Is there anything you want to say to me?"

Hearing the emperor's question, Xu Zigui was shocked at first, thinking that the emperor was testing her, so he lowered his eyes one by one, pretending to cough and thinking about how to answer......

After thinking for a long time, Xu Zigui gradually stopped coughing, shook his head slightly, looked at the emperor puzzled, and showed that he didn't know what the emperor was talking about

The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly and reminded: "The Xu family is all in trouble, as the eldest daughter of the clan, you really don't have anything to say to me?" ”

It turned out that the emperor asked this, Xu Zigui frowned slightly, and he only cared about how to hurry back along the way, but he forgot about it

"What?" Xu Zigui pretended not to understand, looked at the emperor for some reason, and muttered: "All the Xu family is in trouble? The Emperor ......"

"You don't know?" The emperor looked at Xu Zigui suspiciously, although the news of Zhengyuan Temple was closed, but in the past few days, because of the prince's affairs, there are some dignitaries and nobles who have come to Zhengyuan Temple to pray for incense, Xu Zigui and Mo Leyuan saw the steady stream of pilgrims in Zhengyuan Temple these days, didn't they think of inquiring?

"The courtiers don't know" Xu Zigui shook his head, tried to get up, and looked at the emperor with teary eyes

"Your Majesty, what happened to the courtier's family?"

"You don't have to get up." The emperor stretched out his hand slightly to stop Xu Zigui, helped her back to lie on the bed, and told her what had happened in the past few days

“…… Your brother collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and the prince secretly hid the dragon robe with the intention of rebellion, you really don't know this? ”

"My brother collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country?" Xu Zigui ignored the emperor's obstruction, got up from the bed and knelt on the ground, his eyes were red and he looked at the emperor in disbelief, "No, the emperor." Yunjin also asked the emperor to learn from it. Yun Jin's brother would never do such a thing."

Seeing Xu Zigui like this, the emperor dispelled his suspicions about Xu Zigui, and really believed that Xu Zigui really didn't know about it before. stepped forward to personally help Xu Zigui up

"You Rise First and Speak"

The emperor personally helped Xu Zigui up, and Xu Zigui knew that he had made the right bet. If the emperor only wanted to tell him what happened to the Xu family, he would not have told him about Mo Ziyuan's private possession of the dragon robe. So if he followed the emperor's words at the beginning, he would even intercede for Mo Ziyuan. Then indirectly tell the emperor that he knows Mo Ziyuan very well, as for why he understands him. The reason is self-evident

"Your Majesty," was helped up by the emperor, and Xu Zigui wanted to cry "Yunjin's father was a general of Zhenjiang who was personally served by the emperor, and the ancestor of the Xu family was specially appointed by the Holy Ancestor Emperor for generations. Wei Yuanhou, who does not reduce his title, Yunjin's brother is the son of Wei Yuanhou, and he has just been promoted to be the governor of the Five Cities Terrach. The future is limitless, how can you do such a foolish thing? ”

The throne of the Great Zhou is not a generational replacement. Instead, it is reduced by one grade every three generations, until it is finished. The ancestor of Weiyuan Houfu was the founder of the country, and when he opened the mansion, he was specially appointed by the Holy Ancestor Emperor, the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, as the Weiyuan Houhou who never reduced the title for generations.

"I will deal with these things, you can recuperate with peace of mind first" After speaking, the emperor tucked the quilt corner for Xu Zigui again, and planned to go to see Mo Leyuan preparing to return to the palace, but before leaving, he was stopped by Xu Zigui

"Your Majesty!"

"What's the matter?"

Xu Zigui bit his lower lip, as if he had made a lot of determination, his face was pale, and he looked at the emperor with a firm look in his eyes and said: "Your Majesty, although Yun Jin firmly believes that his brother will not do such a thing, but now that the entire Xu family has been convicted and imprisoned, should Yun Jin also ......?"

"No," without waiting for Xu Zigui to finish speaking, the emperor raised his hand to interrupt Xu Zigui's words, and said lightly: "Now you are the body of a criminal minister, and sending you to Zhengyuan Temple is to imprison you in disguise, and you are still sick at this time, so you will continue to cultivate in Zhengyuan Temple."

After speaking, he instructed the red sleeves and a few people to take care of Xu Zigui, and then went to Mo Leyuan's wing again

As soon as the emperor came out of Xu Zi's return room, Lan Xiang patted her chest and exhaled as if she had survived the catastrophe, "The girl is really scared to death of the slave, don't do such a bold thing in the future."

As he spoke, he looked at the red-sleeved people and smiled: "When did you come back, and where did you come from?" ”

Yuexi smiled and pointed to the window behind the bed, the meaning was self-evident.

Xu Zigui had only been on the road for half a day when he received Lan Xiang's report, and if he had been in a carriage, he would have had a day to get to Zhengyuan Temple, so the time was not enough at all

Fortunately, although Mo Ziyuan was nominally imprisoned and returned to Beijing, not to mention that Pei Yuan and they are not the kind of people who step on the highs and lows, only that the emperor did not mention the abolition of the crown prince for a long time, Pei Yuan and they would not treat Mo Ziyuan harshly. Mo Ziyuan went to the grove under the pretext of changing clothes and summoned five secret guards, asking each of them to rush to Zhengyuan Temple with a light industry as fast as possible, and then they hurriedly entered the room before the emperor entered their room.

The emperor went to Mo Leyuan's side and looked at Mo Leyuan again, told Mo Leyuan a few words, and then drove back to the palace.

On the way back to the palace, the emperor felt that something was wrong.

The right phase and the left phase do not coincide, and Shao Qingyuan and Xu Zigui will naturally not coexist peacefully. In this way, the words that came out of Shao Qingyuan's mouth naturally cannot be fully believed. It is not a secret that the Queen Mother loves Xu Zigui and Mo Leyuan, and at this time the Xu family is in an eventful time, if Xu Zigui and the two really went to the frontier privately and were known by the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother would try her best to suppress this matter even if she wanted to keep the only bloodline of the Xu family.

Xu Zigui and Shao Qingyuan were tense as soon as they met, how could Shao Qingyuan cover for Xu Zigui and the two to tell the Empress Dowager about this? At this time, shouldn't Shao Qingyuan, who is not in the same sky as Xu Zigui, stab this matter in front of him?

Thinking like this, the emperor guessed Shao Qingyuan's thoughts. Shao Qingyuan must have inquired about his whereabouts and counted that he said this sentence when he arrived at the gate of Cining Palace.

The emperor was already afraid that others would find out his whereabouts clearly, and this time Shao Qingyuan couldn't help but find out when he would go to Cining Palace, and calculated himself once.

Today's emperor is already suspicious, if it weren't for the things he was really worried about, he wouldn't be calculated, and at this time, Shao Qingyuan calculated that he came to Zhengyuan Temple, and as a result, Xu Zigui stayed in Zhengyuan Temple honestly, and there was no sign of going out at all, and the emperor couldn't help but have conspiracy theories-

Shao Qingyuan did everything possible to trick herself into Zhengyuan Temple, what is the meaning? What good is it for her to come to Zhengyuan Temple by herself, or to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, or to Concubine Mo Qingyuan's faction who now has a marriage contract with her? Could it be that she was deliberately arranged?

The emperor can't complain about the emperor being suspicious if he thinks like this, now that the prince has an accident, the emperor has arrested all the families involved in the prince's family, the Xu Jiawei family, the Gu family, and the prince, and even the queen has been confined to the throne, and Mo Chenyuan and Mo Linyuan are imprisoned by the emperor in disguise in the prince's mansion and are not allowed to go out. Now that the court is in chaos, it is inevitable that someone will take advantage of the chaos to try to rebel, if he has an accident on the way to Zhengyuan Temple, the prince will fall again......

In the past few days, since there have been rumors of the abolition of the crown prince, the most popular candidates for the new prince are Mo Wenyuan and Mo Qingyuan, and Shao Qingyuan is now Mo Qingyuan's quasi-concubine...... The emperor pursed his lips and thought about Mo Qingyuan, who had been quite powerful in the past few days, and his face was not very good-looking. After returning to the palace, he immediately sent someone to secretly investigate Shao Qingyuan and Mo Qingyuan.

As soon as the emperor and his entourage left, Xu Zigui hurriedly got up and went to wash his face first, and after washing off the things that made people look pale on his face, he went to Mo Leyuan's wing

"Fun"

"Returning to the Child"

Mo Leyuan had just washed off the powder on his face, and when he saw Xu Zigui coming in, he stepped forward and pulled Xu Zigui to the side of the bed, patted his chest and exhaled, saying that he was almost scared to death just now

Mo Leyuan, who was deeply favored by the emperor, was scared like this, Xu Zigui naturally wouldn't be much better, and he patted his chest and shouted scared to death, and comforted and comforted Bai Lan and the others, and smiled meaningfully, "Shao Qingyuan is self-defeating this time, you see, this time the emperor will definitely send someone to observe Shao Qingyuan when he returns to the palace."

Mo Leyuan also sneered: "Whoever says no, I'll wait to see what my father finds out and see how she explains."

"It's not just herself," Xu Zigui pointed to it, looking at Mo Leyuan and smiling meaningfully, "The prince's carriage is about to enter Beijing, right?" It seems that the capital is going to be lively for a while these days" (to be continued)
