Chapter 108: Fluttershy
Su Rin was really relieved in her heart. Even if the so-called king-seeking prince is true, he is not willing to do things for him and become his subordinate.
It's just that who is the eyeliner that the prince planted in the Chu Palace?
Yun Chuhan was also worried about this, so he deliberately moved Su Rin's residence to the side room of Yingchun Pavilion. After all, Su Rin didn't betray himself, so he couldn't treat him badly.
Moreover, Yingchun Pavilion is definitely much safer than the small courtyard where he lives.
A small one could only stay at the back door, and he became the prince's personal guard. For a while, there was a lot of discussion in the palace.
However, the eyeliner that the prince planted in the palace of the king of Chu never appeared, and no assassin came to assassinate him.
Su Rin understood that the prince probably didn't have that much energy to deal with such a small minion as himself, so he was relieved.
***
Zhengyang Palace.
The mage is doing it.
The emperor was lying on the bed, feeling weak. I took a lot of medicine, but my illness did not improve.
After the mage finished the rituals, Gonggong Xue hurriedly asked, "Mage, the emperor's illness was not bad at the beginning." How to ......"
Before Gonggong Xue's words were finished, the mage let out a long sigh, shook his head again and again, and said, "Your Majesty, your illness is actually not a disease in the first place!" ”
Hearing what the mage said, the emperor hurriedly stretched out his arm and motioned for Gonggong Xue to help him up.
The queen hurriedly walked over and asked the mage, "Mage, what do you mean by what you just said?" If the emperor's illness is not a disease, it will be difficult to ......"
The queen stopped talking.
Gonggong Xue hurriedly helped the emperor sit up, and put a pillow behind him for him to lean on.
"Could it be that someone wants to harm me?" The emperor frowned.
The mage nodded and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress, the magic of witchcraft is very harmful. The emperor has to make a decision early. ”
The mage's words were simple and straightforward. In addition, he has a special status, so the emperor did not suspect anything.
"Mage, you might be able to figure out who this murderer is?" The emperor hurriedly asked.
The mage shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, you know. When we divination, we can only do it to things, not to people. However, I have already divined that this person and the emperor are close relatives. Direction, east of Zhengyangmen. ”
The emperor's face became solemn: "Okay, I know." You stand down. ”
The mage left.
The queen pretended to be worried and said, "Your Majesty, the magic of witchcraft is a taboo in Daning. Even ordinary people can't do such a harmful thing. Who the hell is so bold? ”
The emperor sneered: "Flesh and blood affection is no match for the temptation of the throne, it is normal in any dynasty and generation." Xue Zhen, you go and check, east of Zhengyang Gate, which princes and princesses are in the mansions. ”
Gonggong Xue thought for a while and said, "Back to the emperor, there are several mansions of princes and princesses east of Zhengyangmen. These include the Mansion of the King of Chu and the Mansion of the Eldest Princess of Haoyu. ”
The emperor didn't say anything, just nodded thoughtfully.
"Your Majesty, it's time for the year to fall. What the hell is going to be done about this? The queen asked.
"The only way to do this is to search, to search carefully." The emperor said.
The queen was overjoyed: "What does the emperor mean, search one by one?" ”
The emperor shook his head and said, "The search must be searched." But it's a matter of royal face, and it must not be fanfare. We must find a way not to let the people talk about it. ”
The queen thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, it's better to work hard for the mage." ”
The emperor raised his head and looked at the queen with a hint of doubt in his eyes: "Do you want him to continue divination?" ”
The queen shook her head, held the emperor's hand, and said, "Naturally not." The emperor can declare to the outside world that he wants the mage to go to the palace of the prince and princess. In this way, the coming year can be smooth and prosperous. When the time comes, close the door to practice. How is it possible for the people on the outside to know what the people on the inside are doing. When the time comes, send a team of guards to follow the mage, and say that it is an escort. However, the emperor had to order them to keep silent. ”
After listening to the queen's words, the emperor nodded again and again: "Good idea." ”
At this time, the queen was still very proud. She's already bought off the mage. And she knew that the more simple and clear the mage's words, the more the emperor would believe them.
If the mage talks too much, he will want to cover it up and arouse the emperor's suspicion.
Sure enough, the emperor believed it, and there was no doubt.
This time, the queen persuaded the emperor to let the mage come to Zhengyang Palace to practice. Originally, the emperor was hesitant. However, Concubine De actually pushed it and followed the queen to persuade the emperor. The emperor agreed.
Concubine De, Concubine De, you can't think of it. This time, you're going to push your son into the abyss yourself.
At this time, Chaoyang Palace.
Concubine De suddenly sneezed.
Yan An immediately became nervous: "Niangniang, do you want to invite a doctor?" ”
Concubine De waved her hand and said with a smile: "It's just a sneeze, don't be so nervous." It should be the queen who should be nervous. ”
Yan An looked at the sky outside, turned around and said, "Niangniang, it's been this hour, presumably the Dharma of Zhengyang Palace has been completed." Do you want to go to see the emperor? ”
"Of course, wait for Hongu to finish drinking this cup of tea." After speaking, Concubine De picked up the teacup.
After drinking the tea, Concubine De put down the teacup and got up.
When she came to Zhengyang Palace, Concubine De still stood outside the palace gate in a regular manner, and asked the eunuch to pass it on.
"Your Majesty, Concubine De is here." The eunuch was reported to the emperor.
"It's so cold, let her in." The emperor hurriedly said.
After a while, Concubine De walked in: "The concubine greets the emperor." ”
"Flatten." The emperor said weakly.
Concubine De stood up, walked over, and looked at the emperor distressedly: "Your Majesty, it's better to let Imperial Doctor Zhao come over and take a look." ”
"Imperial Doctor Zhao is the diligent person who ran to Zhengyang Palace, so he was infected with the wind cold. Let him rest at home, the hospital is not without other respected doctors. The emperor's voice sounded very weak.
Chi Cheng was not in the Tai Hospital at this time. Just two days ago, someone from the ancient mansion said that Lord Gu was sick and invited Chicheng to take a look. For the past two days, he has been staying in the ancient mansion during the day.
This Lord Gu is Zhongshu Ling, Gu Jingyue's father.
Just go, Concubine De didn't stop her. Because she knew the queen was playing tricks. Imperial Physician Zhao contracted the wind cold, just as they wished. But Chi Cheng is not sick, so he has to find a way to get rid of him. lest Concubine De let Chi Cheng come to diagnose the emperor's pulse, in case it is troublesome.
Concubine De knew that the queen was making trouble. The emperor's illness was not a big deal. It stands to reason that it should be soon. It was the queen who found a way to drug the emperor's diet to make him look very sick.
The medicine given by the queen will not have much impact on the emperor's body. After knowing this, Concubine De was relieved. She wants to see how the queen sings the following play.
"Your Majesty, Concubine De is here, and she is waiting outside the palace?" Xue Gonggong said.
"Let her in." The emperor's eyes were closed tightly, and he felt a headache.
Concubine De walked in, and seeing that the emperor's face was not as good as yesterday, she frowned and said, "Your Majesty, this mage has also done the Fa, why is it still not improving?" Why don't you invite a monk over? ”
The emperor waved his hand, pointed to the bed, and motioned for Concubine De to sit down.
"You're here just in time, the mage said, someone has practiced witchcraft and wants to murder me."
Hearing the emperor say this, Concubine De stood up violently as soon as she sat down.
"Who is so bold as to dare to murder the emperor!"
The emperor motioned for Concubine De to sit down: "The mage said that to the east of Zhengyangmen, it is among my sons and daughters. ”
At this time, Gonggong Xue said: "Your Majesty, the mage said that the flesh and blood are close relatives. This flesh and blood relatives are not only princes and princesses, but also princes. ”
The emperor nodded and said, "Yes, there are also those brothers and sisters of mine. ”
Concubine De pretended to be surprised and said, "Your Majesty, search it." If the concubines are not mistaken, east of Zhengyangmen, there are indeed several princes and princesses' mansions. Han'er and Haoyu's mansions are over there. There are also several imperial uncles and aunts of Han'er, and the mansion is also there. ”
Concubine De said as she spoke, showing a difficult expression: "Your Majesty, if the mage says that there is indeed something wrong. It's also a royal thing. On a colossal scale...... I'm afraid the impact is not good. ”
"It's not difficult, the queen gave me an idea." The emperor said.
Concubine De talked to the emperor for a while, and then withdrew from Zhengyang Palace under the pretext that the emperor should rest more.
Back in Chaoyang Palace, Concubine De asked the other maids to go down.
"Yan'an, tonight you fly a pigeon and send a message to Fluttershy, so that she can confirm again." Concubine De said.
"Yes, sissy."
It's night.
Fluttershy receives a pigeon message. After reading it, she immediately burned the note.
Watch as the note turns to ashes and lands on the table. The corners of Fluttershy's mouth go up into a grim smile. She walked over to the cupboard, opened it, and took out a puppet from inside.
A puppet wearing a dragon robe, with the emperor's birthday written on the back. She hid the puppet in her sleeve and hurried out the door.
Fluttershy creeps into the Chunhui Courtyard. This time, she didn't pay attention, and swaggered into the study, placing the puppet in the place before.
This puppet is not the one found in Chunhui Courtyard before. Fluttershy had prepared it beforehand.
When she puts it away, Fluttershy clapps her hands. Stood up.
Quiet in the courtyard, Fluttershy walks out of her study and lets out a long sigh of relief. It's like accomplishing a big thing, and the face is relaxed and proud.
Perhaps too relaxed, Fluttershy accidentally knocks over a flower pot on the corridor. Coincidentally, the guards patrolling at this time happened to pass by the gate of Chunhui Courtyard.
"Who's in there!" Kanazawa drew his sword and rushed in.
In her panic, Fluttershy has nowhere to dodge and rushes forward. Where is Kanazawa's opponent, she has been defeated in a few rounds.
"What are you doing in Chunhui Temple?" Kanazawa asked.
"I'm Concubine De's mother." Fluttershy says, her eyes dodging.
Kanazawa looked at Fluttershy and felt that she was weak, "Search me and see if there's anything wrong." ”
Fluttershy hurriedly says, "Grandma Liu and her son Su Rin from the Peony Pavilion can testify for me." If it doesn't work, you can ask Concubine De Niangniang! ”
