Hearing that the noble concubine Liu Xin was asking to see her outside the door of the imperial study, Yuan Qi's deep eyes showed a trace of displeasure, I don't know why? Yuan Qi always felt that Liu Xin and Su Yingxue's affairs were inseparable.

Because when he went to the cold palace, he stood outside Su Yingxue's dormitory for so long, if there was any sound in the room, he could hear it.

But he didn't hear any sound, and it wasn't until he kicked open the door that the cry of the concubine Liu Xin came from the room.

According to common sense analysis, if it is really as Liu Xin said, Su Yingxue was already killed when they went in, then they should have heard the call of the noble concubine Liu Xin and even her personal slave Zhen'er early in the morning, or a cry for help, or even a cry.

But the absence of any sound makes it seem a little abnormal, doesn't it?

Thinking of this, Yuan Qi didn't pay attention to Liu Xin outside the door, and continued to ask the little eunuch Liu Wen:

"You go on, what's going on with the Imperial Doctor Zhang Guang? How could you suddenly die for no reason? ”

The little eunuch Liu Wen cautiously glanced up at Yuan Qi's cloudy face, and said tremblingly:

"Emperor Qiqi, when the servants went to the Tai Hospital to look for Zhang Guang, the people in the Tai Hospital said that Zhang Guang had gone home, and the minions did not dare to delay, so they inquired and went to Zhang Guang's residence in the capital, but learned that Zhang Guang had just fallen into the water and died."

"Died overboard? He's a doctor, why do you go to the lake if you have nothing to do? And it just so happened that I fell into the water and died when I was looking for him? ”

Yuan Qi's brows furrowed, and his body was filled with cold air that was chilling to the bone, and he muttered to himself coldly.

"The emperor suspects that Imperial Physician Zhang's death is deliberate? But who can a physician offend? ”

Yun You asked puzzled.

Yuan Qi's eyebrows turned up slightly, a different color flashed in his eyes, he sighed deeply, and was silent for a moment, he didn't want it to be what he thought in his heart, because in his heart, Mu Lingdie was kind and pure, and he didn't want to doubt her.

He glanced out the door with a cold look, wondering what he was thinking? After a while, Yuan Qi picked up the pen, wrote an edict with a brush, and took out his jade seal, and after stamping a big seal on it, he handed it to Liu Wen and said:

"Give this holy decree to the Royal Forest Academy, and let them send a messenger official to the border in the north to pass the holy decree to Su Ziyan."

"Su Ziyan?"

The little eunuch Liu Wen and Yun You screamed in unison, and fell to their knees with Qi Shushu, shouting in their mouths:

"Your Majesty, please think twice! Concubine Niangniang's life and death are uncertain now, don't embarrass General Su Ziyan! Even if Niangniang has a thousand mistakes, please ask the emperor to see that Niangniang blocked a sword for the emperor, forgive Niangniang, forgive General Su! ”

Yuan Qi's eyebrows were slightly curled, he helped his head that was a little painful, his eyes were as sharp as eagles, he glanced at Liu Wen and Yunyou who were kneeling, slapped the table and said angrily:

"When did I say that I was going to move Su Ziyan? Isn't it true that the two of you also think of me as a faint king? Where am I joking with Su Yingxue, no matter how confused I am, I still have a clear distinction between state affairs and family affairs, Su Ziyan is at war with Beili, and he has just made war exploits, even if I move him, I will not choose this time. ”

"Your Majesty."

Yun You and the little eunuch Liu Wen glanced at each other and exhaled in unison, but they were muttering in their hearts, the emperor said that he was joking with Concubine Shuniang, is this true? If it's true, why did you even end it to the general's mansion? Arrested the entire general's mansion, isn't this joke a bit big!

Both of them wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads and couldn't help but think.

In fact, when Yuan Qi saw Su Yingxue blocking the sword for himself, he himself regretted it. Before, it was just Su Yingxue who was too arrogant and made him angry.

So now Yuan Qi wants to release the people from the General's Mansion, and he is afraid that the rumors will spread and misunderstand Su Ziyan, who is fighting bloodily in the border area, so he issued an order to promote Su Ziyan's official position, and told Su Ziyan that Su Yingxue is all right, and there is no need to worry about it, but they don't know all this, so they will misunderstand Yuan Qi.

The little eunuch Liu Wen pushed Yun You, wanting him to knock on the side, Yun You glared at him angrily, but he still cautiously glanced up at the face of Emperor Yuan Qi Tieqing, and asked:

"What is the emperor's decree?"

Yuan Qi put his hands behind his back, exuding the aura of a mighty king in the world, his eyes were full of wisdom, and he said with certainty:

"When Su Yingxue was beaten into the cold palace by me, I ordered it to be hidden. But now she has an accident, life and death are uncertain, and she doesn't know when she will wake up. Two days ago, I and Su Yingxue were angry and ordered the entire General's Mansion to be arrested. I am worried that Su Ziyan heard the wind on the battlefield, which affected my relationship with his monarch and ministers, resulting in the defeat of the battlefield. So I wrote him an edict, first, to promote him to an official position, and secondly, to tell him that everything is fine with the lady concubine, don't worry about it, and don't listen to any rumors. Only in this way can he fight against the North with peace of mind. ”

"The emperor is sage, the slave will go to the Imperial Forest Courtyard and let the herald send the holy decree out."

When the little eunuch Liu Wen heard this, he hurriedly said.

After the little eunuch Liu Wen left, Yuan Qi said:

"Get up too!"

"Yes"

Yun You replied respectfully, stood up and stood aside with his hands down, but after a while, he couldn't help but say:

"The emperor said to General Su that Concubine Shu is fine, aren't you worried, in case Concubine Shu Niangniang can't wake up......"

Yunyou was worried that in case Su Yingxue didn't wake up and died, the emperor said in the holy decree that Su Yingxue was very good, and he couldn't hand over the living Su Yingxue at that time, and Su Ziyan would not be able to explain it.

But before Yun You could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Yuan Qi angrily, his cold eyes as ice shot at Yun You, and roared angrily:

"Shut up, I said, if I don't let her die, she can't die, from now on, whoever dares to mention the word "death" again, I will never spare it. ”

Yun You's face suddenly turned pale, and he hurriedly admitted his mistake and begged for mercy:

"The emperor spared his life, he said the wrong thing in his humble position, the lady concubine is kind-hearted, virtuous and virtuous, and she will be blessed and live a long life."

Yuan Qi snorted coldly and said:

"Stand down! Calling the one outside in, I just had some doubts and needed her to help me out. ”

Although Yuan Qi did not name him, Yun You knew it, so he turned around and walked towards the door of the imperial study.

Liu Xin outside the door of the imperial study, her eyes were red, as if she had just cried, only she knew that she had rubbed a lot of chili powder to make herself burst into tears, and she knelt on the ground for a long time against the cold wind, her legs were numb, and she didn't see Yuan Qi calling her in.

Liu Xin was worried in his heart, thinking to himself, it wouldn't be that the emperor already knew that Su Yingxue was harmed by himself, so he deliberately didn't see himself!

She really wants to cry now, and her eyes are in pain from chili peppers. I was scared in my heart, and I was up and down in my heart, just when the concubine Liu Xin was about to collapse, Yunyou came out to call her, saying that the emperor Yuanqi wanted to see her, so she entered the imperial study tremblingly, and Yunyou carefully covered the door for them.

"Woo...... The concubines knocked on the emperor, long live long live long live. The concubine wanted to ask the emperor for something, woo woo......"

As soon as the concubine Liu Xin entered, she began to flood and make a play.

Yuan Qi glanced up at Liu Xin, raised his hand, and motioned for her not to speak yet, and Liu Xin's crying stopped abruptly.

I saw Yuan Qi drawing something on a piece of rice paper with a pen.

Yuan Qi himself didn't know why he wanted to paint Su Yingxue, but he just couldn't help but paint the portrait of Su Yingxue seriously helping the old woman press her stomach.

It is said that serious women are the most attractive, and only at that moment did Yuan Qi feel that Su Yingxue's appearance was so beautiful, confident, and even a little cute.

If he ignored the injury on Su Yingxue's face, Yuan Qi found that he himself was so fascinated at that moment.

For a whole hour, Yuan Qi was painting, and he didn't pay attention to Liu Xin at all, until the last stroke was finished, Yuan Qi remembered that Liu Xin was still in the imperial study, so he looked up and said:

"Oh! Look at my memory, I actually forgot that the concubine was here, by the way, what did you just say? What's the matter with me? Let's talk about it when you think of it! ”

At this time, the concubine Liu Xin clenched her fists, her face was blue and purple and embarrassed, she couldn't cry anymore, and the strength of the chili pepper had passed, but she still had to do face kung fu, didn't she?

So the concubine Liu Xin gritted her teeth, twisted her thighs, and began to cry again:

"Woo...... Your Majesty, my sister's life is so bitter! In the past, her sister was so playful and cute, but now she can only lie there quietly, the concubine is heartbroken for her sister, and wants to ask for her life to take care of her sister, please ask the emperor for permission. ”

"Oh?"

Yuan Qi thought that the noble concubine Liu Xin was here to explain to him, she saw that Su Yingxue had an accident, why didn't she call herself as soon as possible, and she didn't shout until she kicked the door open.

Unexpectedly, Liu Xin actually asked for life to take care of Su Yingxue, which made Yuan Qi a little surprised.

"I remember that Su Yingxue just pushed you into the water the day before yesterday, don't you resent her at all? would even take the initiative to ask for help to take care of her? ”

Yuan Qi asked questioningly.

Concubine Liu Xin hurriedly brought out the lines that had been prepared a long time ago and said:

"Woo...... Your Majesty, you also know that the concubines and concubines have always had a deep sisterhood. That day, the concubine just wanted to say hello to Sister Shufei, but she didn't expect that Sister Shufei would have amnesia and forget about the concubine. As for the matter of the concubine's sister pushing the concubine into the water, the concubine guessed that it was a misunderstanding, and the sister may have accidentally tripped and did not intentionally push the concubine into the water, so the concubine did not hate her sister, and asked the emperor to allow the concubine to take care of her sister personally, if she could, the concubine wanted to arouse the sisterhood between her sister and the concubine. ”

"Then just now in the cold palace, how did you see that Concubine Shu had an accident? How did you end up in the cold palace? You know I'm gone, why don't you hurry up and call me to save Concubine? Instead in the room was quiet? Do you know that Concubine Shu has an accident, and you are the most suspicious? ”

Yuan Qi's sharp eyes swept over the noble concubine Liu Xin, and asked coldly.

When the concubine Liu Xin heard this, she pretended to be shocked and asked:

"Does the emperor suspect his concubines? Since the concubine entered the palace, she has always been friendly with the concubine's sister, and the emperor also knows about it, doesn't he? How could a concubine harm her sister! The emperor Mingjian, please ask the emperor to strictly investigate the murderer, return the innocence of the concubines, and avenge the concubine's sister. ”

Concubine Liu Xin said categorically, Yuan Qi lowered his suspicion of her a little and said:

"Since Concubine Ai said no, I believe Concubine Ai, so please ask Concubine Ai to explain my confusion, why didn't you call me for help as soon as you saw Concubine Shu have an accident?"

Liu Xin kowtowed deeply to Yuan Qi, thinking to herself, the emperor really doubted the palace, and the palace had to answer carefully, thinking of this, she calmed down and said:

"The emperor Mingjian, the concubine also just learned that her sister blocked a sword for the emperor, she was anxious, worried that her sister did not have a doctor to treat her in the cold palace, so she brought medicine for her injuries and went to visit her sister, but she never thought that as soon as she entered, she saw her sister lying on the ground wet. The concubine panicked for a while, and wanted to call someone to save her sister. But at this time, the emperor came, and the concubines were worried that they would break into the cold palace without permission and be punished by the emperor, and secondly, they were worried that the emperor would see the scene in front of him and suspect that the concubine had harmed her sister, so the concubines did not dare to speak out. Because there is no one else in the room except for the concubine and Zhen'er, according to common sense, the emperor must be suspicious of the concubine, isn't it? . ”

"Then why aren't you afraid anymore?"

Yuan Qi asked aggressively.

Concubine Liu Xin took a deep breath and said:

"Because the concubine is so sad, I can't help crying again, The emperor clearly sees that what the concubine said is true, if there is a lie, the sky will thunder."

In order to get rid of her own suspicion, the concubine Liu Xin did not hesitate to swear a poisonous oath, so that Yuan Qi would no longer suspect her completely.

At this moment, Yunyou shouted outside the door:

"Your Majesty, Lu Xin, who is in charge of leading people to investigate the cold palace, is back, does the emperor want to see him now?"

"Come in".

Yuan Qi shouted in a majestic voice.

"Then the concubine went to serve the concubine's sister, can the emperor be gracious?"

Concubine Liu Xin hurriedly asked again, because she hoped that the emperor would better agree to her going, so that she could secretly do something so that Su Ying would never wake up, even if the emperor did not agree, she would try her best to solve Su Yingxue's problem.
