Chapter 326: Liu Er is dead
Although Zhou Huanchun already knew about it, she didn't want to be too sharp in front of Liu Heng. As long as you behave like a normal person, you'll be fine.
So he smiled and said, "Gonggong Liu, it's really hard for you, you have spent so much effort for me." Thanks to your thoughts, I'm still a junior in the end, and I'm a little tender. ”
Liu Heng was praised by her like this, and he was in a good mood, and he had a feeling of being more motivated, he raised his chin and said, "Thank you for the compliment." ”
This thank you means that people are happy to accept it.
Zhou Huanchun smiled and handed the food box to Liu Heng, "This is a dim sum made by the chef of the Zhou family, since Father-in-law Liu likes to eat it, take it." ”
Liu Heng didn't need to look at it, he just held it in his hand, and said with a smile: "Thank you really for the county lord, our family likes it very much." ”
Then, Liu Heng looked around and reminded Zhou Huanchun in a low voice: "The emperor seems to be dissatisfied with you, what is in this is to give Xiao Mu a hatred for you, look back at this Xiao Mu, you have to be careful." ”
When Zhou Huanchun heard him say this, she was relieved, so she nodded with a smile and said, "Gonggong Liu reminded me that I must be careful when I turn back." ”
Just after Zhou Huanchun left, Xiao Mu suddenly entered the palace. These two people just passed by.
When Xiao Mu arrived in front of the emperor, he immediately knelt down and cried, "Emperor, emperor, slaves and maids hate!" ”
At this time, the person who was following Xiao Mu also came. Because the incident happened suddenly, he didn't have time to report it, who knew that when he was about to report, he saw Xiao Mu leave and came directly to the palace.
The emperor looked at Xiao Mu and frowned, "What kind of system, go down, and come in when I summon it!" ”
At this time, I just wanted to listen to the person who was monitoring Xiao Mu and tell me what happened.
In this way, it will not be so much that Xiao Mu will say anything, he will have to react for a long time, in this way, it will be unnatural to tell many lies.
After Xiao Mu was taken down, the person who was watching came to report: "Your Majesty, Liu Er is dead." ”
"What!?" The Emperor's eyes widened.
"When Liu Er went to visit Xiao Mu this morning, she suddenly found that she didn't move, and then she came to call someone, a doctor came over, check it, and there is indeed no pulse."
"You went to see it?" The Emperor waited for the eyes to question.
"Yes, when they all went outside, the minister jumped through the window to check, and there was indeed no pulse. Moreover, Liu'er's face and body have festered, and Liu'er's appearance can only be vaguely seen. ”
The emperor would not doubt the ability of this guard, and sent him to monitor because he stood out among the many guards and was very capable.
"Your Majesty, the minister smelled the smell, there was a rancid smell, I'm afraid, he was already dead last night. And during this hot summer day, the rate of decay will become faster, and it may also be the cause of death. ”
The emperor squinted his eyes, "Why did you come later than this Xiao Mu?" ”
"If you go back to the emperor, the minister is dealing with the cloth cover that touched Liu'er, if you don't burn it, I'm afraid that it will be picked up by someone who doesn't know, and it will cause infection. Chen thought that this Xiao Mu would cry for a while, but who knows, she cried for a long time and came to the palace. ”
The Emperor snorted, "Okay, I understand the situation." You go down first and keep watching. ”
"Yes!" The guards were ordered to leave.
The emperor sat down and pondered for a while, and then asked Liu Heng to pass Xiao Mu in. It's just that when they came in, the emperor asked them to carefully check whether Xiao Mu was carrying infectious diseases.
Liu Heng reminded: "Your Majesty, if it is infected, she will already have red bumps on her body at this time." You must know that the eldest lady of the Zhou family itched almost immediately after Liu Er touched it. ”
After hearing this, the emperor was relieved and asked Xiao Mu to come to see him.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the slave and maid hate, the slave and maid want to kill the conscienceless Zhou Huanchun! Ask the emperor for permission! The slave promises to do it without a trace! Woowoo woo ......"
Xiao Mu cried very pitifully, as if her sister was really dead.
In fact, she couldn't cry so sadly. It's just that I thought of Zhou Huanchun's instructions at that time, if you smash the performance, your sister will really die.
Think about that time, do you know what your sister will be like when she dies?
So, she thought about it, and naturally cried even more heartbreakingly.
The emperor looked at her crying snot and tears wiped together, and suddenly felt disgusted, he had never seen a well-groomed, neat person, when had he ever seen such a dirty picture.
"Alright, okay, don't cry! Jun prelude is right, what kind of system! The Emperor slapped the table in annoyance.
Xiao Mu heard that the emperor was angry, and immediately held back in fright. It's just that she is still sobbing and sobbing, and her tears are still falling silently.
The emperor looked at Xiao Mu, squinted his eyes and asked, "Can you really do it without a trace?" ”
Xiao Mu nodded, "Yes, ask the emperor for permission!" ”
The Emperor snorted coldly, "Enzhun? Do you know how much thought I put into Zhou Huanchun and the Zhou family? ”
Xiao Mu suddenly despaired when she heard this, she knelt on the ground like a wilt, and tears fell silently.
The emperor looked at her appearance, sighed and said, "I will give you only a clear way." ”
Hearing Minglu's son, Xiao Mu's eyes immediately widened, and his eyes lit up, "Your Majesty, please ask the Emperor for advice!" ”
The emperor sneered, "Xiao Mu, I am not thin on you, right?" When you asked for medicine, I also gave you precious objects, but Zhou Huanchun refused to help you, right? ”
Xiao Mu nodded, "The emperor is benevolent and righteous, and the prosperous emperor is a wise man." ”
The emperor smiled, very satisfied with her attitude, "I have done everything I should do, and Liu'er's death is not on my head." It would be better if I could give you a grace. If you can monitor useful information by Zhou Huanchun's side and find evidence that the Zhou family will rebel, I will crown you a princess in the future, and I will love you as if you were my own daughter, how about it? ”
Xiao Mu was stunned, and his eyes rolled, "Does the emperor really want to seal the slaves?" ”
The Emperor smiled, "Although the grace has not yet been executed, from now on, you don't have to call yourself a slave in front of me. If you want to call your father the emperor earlier, you can do it, but you can only be rewarded when you have contributed to the court, you know this? ”
Xiao Mu is a person from the palace, how can he not understand it? The reason why Zhou Huanchun was able to agree to the title of a county lord was not only because of the emperor's favorite son.
The most important thing is that the Zhou family has just been crowned a duke, and the men of the Zhou family have all died on the battlefield, in the eyes of outsiders, this is a grace. Crowning Zhou Huanchun as the county lord, seriously, if you make a princess, these ministers will not object.
Those who can't understand the twists and turns in this will not object. And those who see clearly will not object.
The emperor looked at Xiao Mu's interested face, and thought that it was greed, and said in his heart, as long as this condition can tempt her, are you afraid that she will not do things seriously?
The financial resources of the Zhou family have always been a jealousy of the emperor. Without the Zhou family, he can get a lot of benefits, after all, a young genius like Zhou Lingmo is rare.
And on this day, he happened to be very proficient in business, and most importantly, he had a good brain and knew how to send money to the royal family.
With such a good money-making tool, it is impossible for him to give up. However, there is another premise, he must always be on guard against the Zhou family.
Zhou Lingmo's side can't be relied on, but it's best to start from Zhou Huanchun's side, then Zhou Huanchun is just a fool, give some benefits, it's easy to fiddle.
"Okay, if the emperor, oh no, father, if the father rewards such grace, then the minister is naturally willing."
Although Xiao Mu had tears in the corners of his eyes, the corners of his mouth were already slightly raised.
This change made the emperor see it very clearly. He was very satisfied with Xiao Mu's performance, so he said: "As for your title, I will decide after you complete the task." Now, you are called Xiao Mu, you go back to Zhou Huanchun's side and do what you have to do. ”
Xiao Mu nodded, "Yes, the son thanked his father." ”
After finishing speaking, he kowtowed and took his leave.
This series made Liu Heng feel a little stunned. After all, it was impossible for him to know Xiao Mu and Zhou Huanchun's plan, could he not be anxious when he heard this?
Even if he is not really worried about Zhou Huanchun, he is also worried about his money bag!
"Liu Heng, do you think what I did was inappropriate?" The emperor looked at Liu Heng's solemn look and wondered if he had made a hasty decision?
Liu Heng glanced at the emperor and thought that this was a good opportunity, so he said: "Back to the emperor, the old slave thinks that it is not appropriate." ”
"Why?" The emperor was puzzled.
Liu Heng thought for a while and said: "Back to the emperor's words, the old slave said something ugly, this week the county lord Ning is a little stupid, and his brain is not smart enough. But this week, the young master of the family is on the stall, and he likes such a stupid girl, which is also something that can't be helped. The county lord sealed it, and it was sealed, and it was impossible for her to make any trouble. ”
When the emperor heard this, he agreed very much, wasn't it because of the results of the investigation that he was willing to make this county lord willing to be crowned?
Liu Heng continued: "But Your Majesty, don't you think that this Xiao Mu is very scheming? ”
The Emperor's eyes narrowed, "So what?" Named her a princess, is it possible that she can turn the sky upside down? I won't give her real power. ”
Liu Heng nodded, "What the emperor said is true, but if there is trouble in the harem, it is not a question of whether there is a right or not." It is also possible to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, and it is even more possible for the dog to fight the human power. ”
The emperor frowned, "You mean, she can stir up the harem?" ”
Liu Heng sighed, "Your Majesty, the old slave is just a suggestion, and this worry is also possible, not that it will definitely happen." If you really stir up the harem, this harem can implicate the court, the masters of the harem, which one is not a relative of the ministers of the court? ”
The emperor squinted, if it weren't for Liu Heng's cleverness and ability to see through the situation, it would be impossible for him to keep Liu Heng by his side, such a person, if he didn't kill him, he had to stay loyal to himself.
Liu Heng saw that the emperor had considered it, and knew that the seeds of his words were planted in the emperor's heart. He has served the little master from childhood to adulthood, and he knows the temperament of this master best.
Among so many princes, he is silent, but his methods are ruthless. But if he wants to survive, he must judge the situation and finally choose to stand by his side before he ascends the throne.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Liu Heng to be kept by the emperor until now.
So, he continued: "Master, the old slave grew up serving you from the mansion, and the old slave naturally hopes that the master is good. This Xiao Mu is scheming, you see the way she hated to kill just now, both eyes are red, like a beast. If one day, someone provokes the relationship between the master and Xiao Mu, if Xiao Mu is crazy and wants to take revenge, it will also be a trouble. ”
This voice of the master has shortened the distance between Liu Heng and the emperor, and only people who come out of the mansion can call this master.
The emperor naturally had no defenses against Liu Heng, especially when he heard this master, he thought that when he was still young and was assassinated, Liu Heng had also blocked a knife for him.
