Chapter 282: Illness
She's dead? The only person with the ID card is gone, right? ”
When Emperor Daqing heard this, he immediately raised his eyes and looked at Nangong Mu's expression, and then he opened his eyes and repeated lightly.
"Yes, there is poison on that hairpin, and it will be too late for the son to go."
Nangong Mu took out a small brocade box from his sleeve, carefully opened the box with a handkerchief, and placed the exquisite but blood-stained hairpin in front of Emperor Daqing.
"Since it can't be saved, let's move it to the mass grave and throw it away, I can't ask anything if I think about it."
Emperor Daqing stared at the hairpin, his heart was ruthless, but his face was still silent, and his tone did not change in the slightest.
"The retainers obey."
Nangong Mu replied lightly, and asked Gonggong Gao to take the brocade box in person, so he stood in place with some hesitation, and occasionally looked at Emperor Daqing with apprehension.
"If you have anything to say, just say it, don't look at me like this if you don't want to say it."
Emperor Daqing looked like he was dancing with pen and ink on the surface, but in fact, he saw Nangong Mu's every move very clearly, and seeing that he was hesitant, Emperor Daqing spoke in a sullen voice.
"Back to my father, when the son arrived, the dancing girl still had one breath left, and she said the last sentence...... said that Concubine De instructed her to do that, and the county lord was also in front of her, and the jailers in the cell were unconscious. ”
With Emperor Daqing's order, Nangong Mu was a little less afraid, so he narrated with a sincere face.
Emperor Daqing listened to him quietly, and did not say anything, including Gonggong Gao, who also turned a deaf ear.
"Concubine De ......"
"The sons and daughters have no intention of targeting Concubine De, and they also ask their father to ......"
Emperor Daqing muttered with a pen, Nangong Mu was afraid that he would be suspicious, so he hurriedly argued.
"What are you afraid of, I won't be so stupid that I can't see the situation clearly, this matter will end here."
Emperor Daqing's eyes were like torches, and he had already seen some clues, and he also knew that Nangong Mu had no two hearts, so he opened his mouth unhurriedly and was relieved, and his eyes were full of strategy.
"Father is going to swallow this?"
Nangong Mu felt at ease, and secondly, he felt a little puzzled, since Concubine De was already suspicious, could she really let her get away with it? She's already moved her mind that she shouldn't have.
"It's not swallowed, it's the wrong time, now the concubine is equal to all the concubines, and there are fewer checks and balances for her concubine, this is one thing, and second, Concubine De's mother country is the Zheng family of Xu State in the east, and it's not time to move her yet."
Emperor Daqing scribbled on a piece of rice paper while telling his intentions, looking at his calm appearance, Nangong Mu couldn't help but settle down.
Nangong Mu didn't have much contact with Emperor Daqing, but he only knew that he had a deep love for the first queen, and he really didn't know much about it.
Now I have also learned some of his methods and scheming.
"If there's nothing to do, you can go down first, I still have important things to deal with, don't startle the snake."
Nangong Mu listened to his words silently, and Emperor Daqing felt that there was no need to keep him, so he immediately sent him away, and deliberately admonished him at the end.
"Erchen understands."
Nangong Mu immediately arched his hand, and then quietly retreated.
The sky was clear, and although there was still a cold wind that penetrated deep into the bone marrow, there was no snow in sight, and everything around was calm as usual.
As soon as Nangong Mu left with his front foot, Emperor Daqing dropped the lake pen in his hand with his back foot, sat on the dragon chair with his ass, reached out and touched the armrest carved with dragon patterns, his eyes were full of cruelty, and there was no trace on his face.
"Your Majesty, is this angry?"
Gao Gonggong simply cleaned up the folds on the table, and then came to Emperor Daqing and asked tentatively.
"Concubine De's hand is so long that I can't help but feel numb when I look at her kind heart."
Emperor Daqing held his breath slightly, and then snorted coldly and said with displeasure.
"The emperor will not be wrong, and the fault is also the fault of others, so the emperor will let it develop?"
Gao Gonggong is an old man who does things next to Emperor Daqing, so he naturally understands his thoughts, so he proposes a sentence.
"She is not only calculating the position of the crown prince, but also calculating my life impatiently, how can I sit idly by?"
Emperor Daqing and Gonggong Gao have always said something, and at this moment, they are even more blunt to explain their intentions.
"Concubine De Niangniang is losing more than she gains this time, and seeing that several princes are earning to be the lord of Ning'an, they have already begun to do it secretly, and it is appropriate for the emperor to marry like this."
Listening to Emperor Daqing's words, Gonggong Gao already had a bottom in his heart, so he sighed and commented, not only Emperor Daqing saw the things in this palace thoroughly, but they also knew it well.
"Send someone to inform you, I will go to Concubine De's palace tonight, and then let the noble Mei play the piano."
"The emperor has not entered the harem for a long time, and Concubine De is naturally happy."
"Then let's reward some more things, and it can be regarded as a consolation to her."
As he spoke, the master and servant started a dumb riddle, but looking at the look of Gonggong Gao, I was afraid that Emperor Daqing would secretly fight back tonight.
At night, Yanxi Palace is lit with red candles, and the lights shine through the paper window, projecting the dashing smile and back of Emperor Daqing on it, and Concubine De and several other concubines are singing and dancing, dancing, and the sound of the piano is endless.
The next day, the sun rose in the east and the sky was white, Nangong Mu left Yefu and hurriedly went to the court.
There were many people guarding outside the council hall, scattered and scattered, occasionally whispering, Nangong Lei and Nangong Hui were also standing together, looking very calm without speaking.
"Hello big brother."
Seeing Nangong Muqi Yu coming over, Nangong Lei took care of him informally, looking extremely respectful.
"Hello two brothers."
Although Nangong Mu didn't like the two of them, he wouldn't be rude in public, so he nodded hurriedly and responded softly, and then several people fell into silence, no one spoke anymore, always looking at the thoughts of others, and silently thinking about something in their hearts.
"The emperor is sick, he won't go to court today, retreat from the court!"
Gao Gonggong appeared in front of the hall with a big dust, stood slightly, and waited until everyone stopped, and then the decree that happened as much as possible.
After finishing speaking, Nangong Mu was immediately shocked, when he secretly saw Emperor Daqing yesterday, he was still in good spirits, how could it be that overnight, he even couldn't go to the court.
The ministers dispersed, talking about today's events in groups, always muttering non-stop, on the other hand, several princes, no one left, waiting for most of the people to disperse.
"Father-in-law Gao, my father was ...... yesterday Why did you get sick today? ”
Nangong Mu hurriedly walked in front of Gonggong Gao, and asked a little impatiently, one was to care, and the other was to satisfy his doubts.
"Yesterday, when the emperor rose, he called a few masters to accompany him, but he couldn't get up this morning, and the servants were also very anxious, and they had already called the people from the Imperial Physician Department to see it."
Seeing Nangong Mu asking, Gonggong Gao frowned, responded with an anxious look, and his tone was also very sad.
"Lord, the slave has to go back to serve the emperor, you, go back first, if the emperor has any orders, I will let you know about the slaves."
"In addition, the emperor specially explained that His Royal Highness King Hui is dealing with the bandits, and there is no delay, so please let King Hui leave today."
Gao Gonggong was afraid that there would be too many people, so in order not to reveal the secret of heaven, he simply didn't say anything, but when he left, he explained the will to send Nangong Hui away.
After Gonggong Gao left, Nangong Mu walked back, feeling a mess in his heart, always feeling that this matter was extraordinary, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
If Emperor Daqing wants to do it, he will not attack himself, and looking at the look of Gao Gonggong, I am afraid that he will be busy for a while.
"Lord, this is something for the princess, it has been prepared."
Just when Nangong Mu was puzzled, Gao Wei came in with a huge brocade box, carefully all the way, and gently placed it on the table.
"Got it, let's go down."
Seeing the things on the table, Nangong Mu's mood improved slightly, and he didn't care about what was going on in the palace.
At noon, the brocade box embroidered with gold and silver phoenix wearing peonies was sent to Yefu, and Qingju obeyed the instructions, and carefully brought it to the house, and sold it in front of Ye Zhenzhen.
"What the hell is this?"
Ye Zhenzhen dropped a set of painting scores in her hand, curiously leaned towards the brocade box, and looked at Qingju's triumphant face.
"This is sent by Prince Mu, saying that he will wait for the young lady to open it herself."
Qingju seems to love this thing very much, even if it is placed on the table, it is still cautious, his face is overjoyed, and his heart is even more happy.
"Got it."
Ye Zhenzhen, who was looking forward to it very much just now, couldn't help but be stumped by Nangong Mu after hearing that it was sent by Nangong Mu, and suddenly lost interest, she couldn't forgive him, but she didn't refuse to go a thousand miles, so even she felt embarrassed.
"Miss, let's take a look, I'm fourteen today, tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, and then the slave will take Miss to put the lanterns."
Qingju saw Ye Zhenzhen's expression in her eyes, knowing that she was still awkward about it, so she hurriedly smiled and opened the topic, and brought some coquettishness, which caused Ye Zhenzhen to sigh and shake her head.
Unable to endure the green orange grinding, Ye Zhenzhen finally moved to the table, gently uncovered the red cloth on the brocade box with her bare hands, and then looked at the delicate embroidery on the box, and only then did she feel for a long time that the box seemed to have a trace of abnormality.
"Miss, what's the matter? Hurry up and open it to take a look, Qingju can't wait for a long time. ”
Seeing that Ye Zhenzhen was holding the brocade box motionless, a little stupid, Qingju hurriedly slapped her with her elbow, and then urged.
Ye Zhenzhen reacted at this time, only to see her stretch out her left hand to grab the lock on the box, gently lift the box, and suddenly a small furry head came out.
