Chapter 221: Doubt
Today, the princess returned to the palace, and she couldn't understand it more and more, obviously she had targeted her so much before, but in the end, Qing Mu still interceded for her.
After pacing in the palace for a long time, he couldn't figure it out, so he couldn't help but ask, "Qiu'er, why do you say Qingmu wants to help this princess?" ”
If it is said that there is a plan, but her eyes are not like it, it will not be simply to repay the grievances with virtue.
Qiu'er looked at her contradictory appearance, and felt helpless, she was framed as the mastermind behind the murder case, and she was not worried about her situation at all, but remembered Qing Mulai.
Should I say that she is stupid? Or is it better to not know the severity?
"The princess wants to know the answer, why don't you let Imperial Doctor Qing come over and ask?"
Although the princess was grounded, she didn't say that others were not allowed to come to see her.
"Well, then you can go to the Tai Hospital, and remember not to let people see it."
Qiu'er received the order, said a few words to the guards in charge, and came out to look for someone.
"What can Princess Pingyang do if she looks for me?"
On weekdays, I see that she is not pleasing to the eye, so I am grounded, and I will not be annoyed and angry and want to call her over to clean up!
She is a princess, a high-ranking and powerful person, for the sake of her own life, she naturally can't go, who will send it to the door to find death!
Qiu'er knew that Qing Muding was thinking crookedly, "Imperial Doctor Qing, the princess just has doubts and wants to ask for advice, not what to do." Besides, the princess is now grounded, so naturally she can't do anything to you. ”
Qing Mu thought for a moment, and flicked her sleeves generously, thinking about it, this princess didn't have the ruthlessness to attack her.
"Then let's take a trip, and ask the county lord sister to lead the way."
Qiu'er nodded, and then led the way, and took down a palace lamp by the way, why is the light snow illuminating.
Qing Mu didn't expect that this little palace maid was quite delicate, no wonder she was able to win Pingyang's appreciation.
In the Tai Hospital, Dark Fourteen waited for Dark Wentao to drink the decoction, and then returned to Dingwang's Mansion with Mu Qi before the palace ban.
It can really be said that good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, and the poisoning of the head of the dark courtyard somehow came out.
As soon as Mu Qi stepped into the mansion, Bei Liuli greeted him.
"Dark Fourteen, meet the eldest princess!"
Bei Liuli immediately raised his hand and made him get up, with a look of concern, "How is your father?" ”
There were rumors outside, saying that this dark imperial doctor was afraid that his life would be short, and the murderer was apprentice Qingmu.
Mu Qi told her before that Qing Mu had just gone to the capital to seek medical treatment and cured the little prince of Prince Gu's mansion, and asked Prince Gu for a good place, and disguised herself as a man and entered the Tai Hospital. As a result, it was only more than half a month before something happened, and when she heard this, she was anxious.
"The county lord of the Qing family has detoxified my father, and there is no big problem, thank you for the eldest princess's concern!"
"Alas, the old lady is fine."
"Mother, the dark fourteen have been tired of running around for the past few days, let him go back and rest first."
Bei Liuli nodded, bowed darkly and then retreated.
Mu Qi helped Bei Liuli to walk into the house, "Mother, I'll send you back to rest!" If you're weak, don't work too hard. ”
"By the way, what happened to the Qing girl?"
"She's innocent, she's cleared of suspicions, and we've caught the real poisoner. The emperor appreciates her, and now she is the deputy head of the court. ”
Bei Liuli smiled lightly, his son, his face is not obvious, but he is an extremely soft person in his heart, he obviously has a mind for Qing Mu, but he doesn't know it.
Otherwise, how could I have heard that something had happened to her before, and the military camp would not go, and followed Dark Fourteen into the palace.
"Her appearance is like a female general, like her mother!" Bei Liuli couldn't help but think of the deceased Shan Wei as she spoke.
She couldn't figure out why Shan Wei ended up marrying someone like King Yi, obviously she liked the Feng family Shilang back then, and the two were also Qin Se and Ming at the time, so she didn't know what happened later, and the two broke up unhappily like that.
Mu Qi noticed that Bei Liuli thought of old things, and hurriedly changed the topic, "She's fine, don't worry." By the way, what about Dad? Why didn't I accompany you? ”
On weekdays, my mother has to follow every step she takes, but now she is relieved that she comes out late at night, and she is even more exposed.
"Your father, aren't you a famous chess idiot! Your Uncle Sheng has returned to Beijing, how can the two of them not get together. ”
Speaking of this, Bei Liuli wanted to laugh, Qi Yuan could go to the point of forgetting to sleep and eat in order to play a game of chess, obviously a battle-hardened general, but he was obsessed with playing chess, and only his good brother Sheng Huating could stand him.
The Princess's Bedchamber.
"Imperial Doctor, go this way."
Qing Mu came to the princess's bedroom for the first time, followed Qiu'er to the inner hall, saw Pingyang resting on the soft couch, and saluted in a proper manner, "Qing Mu has seen the princess." ”
Pingyang slowly opened his eyes and asked the little palace maid on the side to move the stool, "Sit down!" ”
"I don't know if the princess called me to the so-called secretary?"
Pingyang glanced at Qiu'er, Qiu'er understood, and retreated with the little palace maid.
"It's nothing, I just want to ask you why you intercede for Princess Ben, after all, Princess Ben wasn't so kind to you before."
Could it be that you want to be good friends with yourself?
Qing Mu didn't expect Pingyang to call her, just to ask such a trivial matter, and immediately got up.
"Princess, I'm just telling the truth, although I was framed, but I know who really made the stumbling block."
"Then, this princess can tell you, I won't give Brother Zhu to you just because you helped me intercede."
"Your Royal Highness Princess, we will not be enemies or friends in this life!"
After Qing Mu finished speaking, he glanced at Pingyang deeply and said, "Farewell!" And he walked out.
Although she would not hold on to the princess for Mu Qi's sake, in the final analysis, the poisoning of the head of the dark courtyard was indeed caused by her rudeness and willfulness, so she deserved this punishment.
Qing Mu's words were so angry that Pingyang smashed the tea cup on the table clean, and sure enough, Qing Mu was still as arrogant as ever.
One day, she will win her openly!
Lou Qingyao followed Bei Gu Ning back to Cheng'en Palace, and the two had dinner together, and went to bed after washing.
After seeing that Bei Guning was asleep, he got up in the dark, changed into simple clothes, and walked towards the dormitory in Pingyang.
Pingyang was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, and when he saw Lou Qingyao who came to see him, he felt a little strange, was this to see her joke?
"What are you going to do?" As he spoke, he got up from the quilt and sat upright.
Lou Qingyao moved to the table and sat down at the table, looking at Pingyang with a touch of seriousness on his face, "Yao Li, is it really what you instigated?" ”
Pingyang could have talked to her calmly, but when he heard this name, he exploded for a while.
"What do you mean? Does this matter have anything to do with you? ”
She was born a princess, so she is naturally a little arrogant, and she can't stand the jokes of others looking at her, and Su Qi may be her mother-killing enemy.
Lou Qingxuan glanced at her deeply, and a trace of hurt flashed in her eyes, "Pingyang, it doesn't matter if it has anything to do with it, I just need you to remember, even if people all over the world don't believe you, I will believe you." ”
However, she can't say the reason for this, if the things of the year are shaken out, it will be a crime of deception.
Fortunately, everyone who knows about this matter is already dead, except for Mama Chang, and Mama Chang is her person, so naturally there is no need to worry.
When Pingyang heard this, he was actually a little moved, but when he thought of Shang Qingmu's words tonight, he suddenly stopped his heart.
"It doesn't matter, mother, please go back! I'm going to rest. Then he lay back and turned his head away from her.
A sigh was heard, and the surroundings fell silent.
The next day, Mu Qi entered the palace early and went to the Shen Criminal Division to try the case of Yao Li and Zhang Hongzhi poisoning Dark Wentao with Li Mingliao.
Because Zhang Hongzhi has pleaded guilty, he has been imprisoned in prison, just waiting for the final trial, but Yao Li still has some things that need to be carefully interrogated.
"The two adults must be aware of everything! If it weren't for the princess's coercion and temptation, the grass people would never have done such a wrong thing! ”
Mu Qi and Li Mingliao glanced at each other, Li Mingliao understood, looked at Yao Li, and his eyes were fierce.
"Yao Li, you still haven't confessed honestly, Qiu'er has already confessed everything, this is your wanton frame-up!"
In fact, this case is extremely difficult to handle, one party has physical evidence, one side has witnesses, each has its own opinion, and it also involves the princess of the dynasty, so they have to resort to this kind of intimidation.
"If you confess honestly, the official can still spare you from dying, if you are obsessed, you can only be beheaded to show the public."
Yao Li was a little shaken when he heard this, but after thinking about it, there was no turning back when he opened the bow, as long as he bit Princess Pingyang to death, he would not be punished severely in the end.
"My lord, the grass people are really wronged."
Li Mingliao saw that he still didn't move at all, and threw a bamboo stick, "Come on!" Drag me out and beat me until he admits it! ”
Yao Li wailed vigorously, that is, he did not admit his guilt.
Be! He was scolded because He Qingxue was not appreciated by Princess Pingyang for this matter, but was scolded, and threatened to throw him into the moat to feed the fish if he didn't do it well, so he hated Qingmu and vowed to get rid of her, but he didn't expect to let her save herself in the end, and it was impossible to pull her into the water, so he could only bite Princess Pingyang to death.
After a few clicks, Yao Li was silent, and the person who hit the board stepped forward and pushed a few times, but there was still no movement, "My lord, I fainted." ”
"Drag him down and wait until he wakes up!"
Yao Li woke up in prison slowly, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a bright yellow figure in front of him, with a pearl hairpin and a phoenix on his head swaying, and there was a crisp and pleasant sound.
Yao Li struggled to get up and made a most disrespectful salute, "The grass people knocked on the queen's mother, I don't know if the mother surrendered her identity to this prison for the so-called secretary?" ”
Lou Qingyao didn't answer him, but said something else, "I can't see that your mouth is quite hard, but I don't know if your heart is hard?" ”
Yao Li laughed self-deprecatingly, his heart was naturally hard, otherwise he would bite Princess Pingyang to death? He is the most greedy person and afraid of death, otherwise he can poison the head of the dark courtyard, he can do it himself, and he doesn't have to work hard to convince Zhang Hongzhi.
As a result, he showed his feet, so that Qing Mu successfully turned over and put himself in.
"Niangniang, you are the master of this harem, can't you see it?"
After all, people who can sit in high positions are not simple in their minds.
Mama Chang couldn't bear the queen mother being insulted, and opened her mouth very indignantly, "Bold, the queen mother is also something you can discuss?" ”
Lou Qingyao raised his hand to stop Mama Chang from stepping forward to teach Yao Li a lesson, anyway, he was also a dying person, so what if he let him be presumptuous.
"Yao Li, your sister is really a good skin, if she sells it to Hualou, she will definitely make a lot of money!"
She has already sent someone to find out, Yao Li's parents are dead, but there is a younger sister, who is raised by her grandfather and grandmother, and the family is in trouble, so he entered the Tai Hospital as a pharmacist to get some money to help the family.
"If you dare to touch her, I won't let you go!"
Yao Li was really anxious when he heard this, his eyes stared at Lou Qingxuan fiercely, everything he did was for this sister, and no one could bully her.
Lou Qingzhen was very satisfied with his reaction, since he cared, it would be very easy to do, "If I don't move her, it depends on whether you are worthy of cooperation?" ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Mama Chang, Mama Chang understood, went out, and came back with a tray in her hand, on which there was a wine jug in addition to pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and wine.
Yao Li understood at a glance that this was poisonous wine.
"Niangniang wants me to write down and admit that I framed Princess Pingyang, and then commit suicide in fear of sin, right?"
Isn't it always rumored that although Princess Pingyang was raised by the queen's mother, the relationship between the two is extremely indifferent, and the queen is not kind to her? So why is this move today?
Lou Qingzhen smiled, "You are a smart person, if you do what I say, I promise to make your sister prosperous and rich for the rest of her life, with fine clothes and fine food!" ”
Let the elder brother find a family affair for his sister outside the palace, and what happens in the future, it has nothing to do with him.
Yao Li thought about it carefully, she was far away from Beijing, she couldn't take care of her sister, and now she was adding a burden, if she died, she could be taken care of by the queen, and she would not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of her life, which was also excellent.
"If Niangniang can keep her promise, Yao Li will naturally be able to comply with your wishes."
Lou Qingxuan nodded, and asked Mama Chang to hand over the tray, "That's very good!" The Akira Palace wants to hear the news it wants. Mama Chang, let's go! ”
In the dead of night, Yao Li moved, picked up the ink block on the side and grinded it, picked up the pen and wrote a few lines, and then drank the wine in the jug.
I went with a drunken feeling and a smile.
Early the next morning, Mu Qi and Li Mingliao received the news that Yao Li committed suicide in prison.
"This is the letter next to the corpse."
"The villain wanted to drag the princess into the water, but because he couldn't bear the cane punishment, he knew that he would not be able to escape punishment in the future, so he committed suicide to atone for his crimes!"
Li Mingliao was very angry when he took the letter, and he was even more helpless, this ink, paper and inkstone came from Qing, looking at this iron-blue face, he was poisoned and died.
His prudent punishment department is really negligent, and it is really easy for others to do something inside.
Mu Qi glanced at it with a calm face, "Now that this matter has come to an end, let's close the case!" Master Li, there are some things that are inconvenient to investigate in too much detail. ”
This is the struggle in the palace, no wonder his mother is reluctant to walk around the palace a lot, maybe she has seen too much of the cruelty of the harem.
In the court.
Bei Gu Ning listened to the left and right words of the courtiers, although he had long expected that they would disagree with Qin Nan and leave the Mu Palace and return to the throne, but when he really heard this, he was still extremely uncomfortable.
"Did I ask you if I wanted to favor anyone?"
Seeing that the emperor was angry, the ministers below were silent, and even Uncle Lou Qingxi didn't dare to speak.
But he quietly gave Prince Gu a look, which meant that he couldn't watch the emperor be so obsessed with beauty, and let Qin Nan be the demon concubine who brought disaster to the country and the people.
Prince Gu ignored it, in fact, he didn't believe that Qin Taifu would do anything to rebel, so Qin Nan also knew that if he didn't fight or grab in the harem, even if he was favored, it would be useless.
Prince Gu ignored it, so Lou Qingxi had to come out and speak by himself, "Your Majesty, I hope you will think twice, she is the daughter of a criminal minister, so she will go out of the Mu Palace, won't it mess up the rules of the palace?" ”
Bei Guning glanced at Lou Qingxi, and Mu smiled, "The events of that year still need to be verified!" Besides, this rule is set by me, and I am the rule. ”
As soon as these words came out, they completely shocked the ministers, and Lou Qingxi secretly gritted his teeth and could only retreat first.
Bei Gu Ning went to Qin Nan's bedroom when he left the court, he should have stayed to appease her yesterday, but for the sake of the overall situation, he still went to the queen's bedroom, but he didn't expect Uncle Guo to kick his nose in the face today.
"Your Majesty, you need to be angry, and their words can't hurt your concubines." Qin Nan sat beside Bei Gu Ning and comforted him softly.
Bei Gu Ning softened his face at this time, "Ai Fei, I am just wronged for you." ”
Qin Nan shook his head, "As long as I can be by your side, it doesn't hurt to suffer some grievances." ”
The two of them were affectionate, no one spoke, quietly enjoying each other's love.
Qing Mu packed his things today, and planned to go back to the house to live for a few days, and go to the Li Mansion by the way to see what kind of illness Li Mingzhou had.
Who knew that when he first arrived at the gate of the palace, he met Li Mingliao and Mu Qi, and he was overjoyed, "You are also going out of the palace?" ”
If they leave the palace, they can go together, and by the way, they can rub their carriage. She didn't write back in advance to tell Xiaocui, naturally no one would send a carriage to pick her up, if she walked back on two legs, it would probably be a sin
Mu Qi saw her thoughts clearly on his face, "Let's go, I'll let Dark Fourteen send you." ”
Today, he and Li Mingliao entered the palace to report on the situation of Yao Li's case and were preparing to leave the palace.
Qing Mu nodded, "That relationship is good, I don't know if Master Li will have time tomorrow?" Light snow is not talented, specializing in the treatment of some incurable diseases. ”
When Li Mingliao heard this, his face was overjoyed, "Is what Imperial Doctor Qing said true?" ”
Qing Mu's deeds, he went back and listened to the second brother say a lot, plus he treated the dark imperial doctor, he firmly believed that her medical skills must be unparalleled in the world.
Qing Mu raised her eyebrows and looked at Li Mingliao showing a mouthful of white teeth, "I look like I'm joking?" ”
In fact, she also has her own plans, and she wants to carry forward the Rejuvenation Hall with her own strength, and take back her mother's dowry in the future, so that she can have a life to live by.
"Naturally, it's not!" Li Mingliao's face was sincere.
The three of them talked and laughed along the way, mostly Qingmu and Li Mingliao talked about it, and Mu Qi answered a few words from time to time, and the two of them had a tacit understanding, maybe the parties didn't find it, but Li Mingliao, who was outside the body, found out.
I laughed secretly in my heart, these two people still have good shows to watch in the future!
Xiaocui sat quietly in the courtyard, watching the third-class maids sweeping the dust, feeling a little depressed, the county lord went to the palace, and Young Master Mo also went back to Suzhou, in the huge courtyard, only she and Tan'er depended on each other.
Qing Mu rode all the way back to the Qing Mansion in Mu Qi's carriage, and when he arrived at the back corner gate of the Qing Mansion, Qing Mu asked the Dark Fourteen to stop.
"Thank you, General Mu, for giving me a ride, and you should go back early." After saying that, he lifted the curtain and jumped down.
Although Mu Qi was still expressionless, he quipped, "When did Imperial Doctor Qing fall in love with going through the back door?" ”
In the past, in Suzhou, she always had to enter through the front door and swagger home, for fear that others would not know that she was going home, and that her housewife would give her small shoes to wear, and she still had to get into trouble.
After a trip to the palace, did you change your temperament?
Qing Mu pursed his lips, "Now it's better to have more than one thing to do, and the general is better to go." ”
After a month in the palace, she suddenly understood some things, and when she was not full of wings, she should not be too prominent, lest she play herself to death one day.
Mu Qi waved his hand, and Dark Fourteen disappeared into the darkness at the end of the night with the carriage.
Qing Mu fumbled his way through the back wall and climbed in, avoiding the people in the house along the way. I haven't seen Detective Cui for a long time, and I don't know what they're doing now, so she just took the opportunity to tease them.
In the inner courtyard.
Tan'er came over with a needlework basket and was sitting next to Xiaocui embroidering. Although it was spring, summer was not far away, and she had to make some cool new clothes for the county lord.
Xiao Cui put down the needle and thread boredly, and looked at Tan'er pitifully, "Did you say that the county lord was living too well in the palace, so he didn't come back for a long time?" ”
When I first went, I said I would be back within half a month, but it's been a month.
