Chapter 280: Find the Murderer
The emperor smiled, Guan Qing realized the emperor's meaning later, and the feelings were so troublesome for a long time, but it was just a temptation by the emperor, and he even did not hesitate to use Jing Xing's life to make a bet.
It's just that Guan Qing doesn't know if the emperor is betting on his loyalty to him, or whether he is betting that his relationship with Jingxing is not as bad as rumored, and the emperor may have other plans.
However, the emperor's smile also means that Jingxing's problem may not be big, at least it will not be life-threatening.
It's just that the emperor's approach this time is really too much for Guan Qing.
"It seems that our right minister still cares about King Ming, and the girl named Wei Rui is still good, and she has the ability to ease the relationship between the two of you, I thought that the two of you would not shake hands and make peace in your life."
I see.
Guan Qing understood what Emperor Qing meant, and also knew his purpose, so he spoke: "Whether it is Weichen or King Ming, they are always doing things for the emperor, if something is not good for the emperor, no matter what, the two of us will shake hands and make peace." After those encounters, the two of us know better what is more important than personal grudges. ”
"Although the emperor can rest assured, if you don't want the prince to die, the minister will definitely not let the prince die, and the flesh and blood of the prince of your grade, presumably the prince will be grateful after he recovers."
The smile on Emperor Qing's face gradually disappeared, and he seemed to ponder, and only said after a while: "Although that poison is not fatal, it is poison in the end, now you two should not delay time, it is better to save people first." When King Ming recovers and asks him to come to see me, I have something to say to him. ”
Guan Qing gave up his order, did not delay much, threw Dr. Zhu on the horse, and galloped all the way towards the palace.
Pity Dr. Zhu for a handful of old bones, bumping all the way on horseback, almost taking half his life, but fortunately, he finally rushed back within an hour.
Seeing Dr. Zhu, Minghua breathed a sigh of relief, how tormented she was during this period, I'm afraid only she knows.
Pei Ling'an was nervous and relieved at the same time when he saw someone coming, he was afraid that Dr. Zhu would find out his previous poisoning, and he was afraid that Dr. Zhu would not be able to save Jingxing if he died, at this time, if Jingxing died, he was afraid that the people above would blame him for death, and he could not afford this responsibility.
Therefore, in the face of Dr. Zhu, he was too contradictory, and the whole person showed a strong uneasiness, which made Minghua feel very weird. It's just that now everyone's thoughts are on whether Jingxing can survive, and no one notices that Pei Ling'an is wrong.
It wasn't until Dr. Zhu finished saving people that he said to Guan Qing: "There is no major problem at present, but you need to recuperate, and the time of recuperation is best about three months, so that you can raise your confidence well. ”
Guan Qing nodded, knowing what Dr. Zhu meant, Dr. Zhu was in a mess just now, and the whole person was a little bad, and he finally completed the task at this time, so he didn't want to stay for a moment, so he left.
After Dr. Zhu left, Pei Lingan breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to find Guan to settle the accounts, but he didn't expect Guan Qing to take the lead, he asked Minghua to find all the people who had been serving Jingxing in the recent period, and he had something to ask everyone.
Pei Ling'an didn't know why his heart was suddenly so powerful, he always felt that Guan Qing's wave of people was not good, and he might have made something, so he stopped: "Lord Guan, don't forget, this is the palace, not your right minister's mansion, where is your turn to speak." Besides, we haven't settled accounts with you yet, you commanded it first! ”
Minghua also seemed to be a little incomprehensible: "Master Guan, you said that the medicine was given to you by Dr. Zhu, and Dr. Zhu harmed the prince like this, why don't you take him?" Let him go? Not to mention, what is the name of the people who check our palace now? You have to give a reason, otherwise, the people of this palace are not easy to check, our prince is now sleeping and can't speak, he doesn't speak, and the things of our palace can't be called for anyone. ”
Minghua followed Jingxing in the end, everything was considered from Jingxing's point of view, but Pei Lingan was different, he wanted to harm Guan Qing, so it was enough to show that now Guan Qing's actions blocked the way he was going.
Guan Qing looked at Minghua, his face was calm, and he only said: "Minghua, you follow your prince, you should also know what kind of person I am, if you believe me, you will find everyone, I am free to calculate, if you don't believe it, just let this matter pass, I dare to guarantee that you will regret it." ”
Minghua's natural way Jingxing's attitude towards Guan Qing, soon after he came back, Jingxing's meaning was to ask Guan Qing for help, it was obvious that Jingxing trusted Guan Qing very much, otherwise he would not have made such a decision, but the people who checked the palace, Minghua himself also had concerns.
Guan Qing seemed to see through her thoughts, so he said: "I just need you to find it, the people who have been in contact with Jingxing in recent days and have taken care of Jingxing, I don't care about the others, and I don't have the time and strength to manage it, so if you believe me, call someone to come." ”
The current situation is quite embarrassing, Pei Ling'an's identity is Jingxing's attendant, he can't be too arrogant, in other words, as long as Minghua speaks, he has no room to speak, seeing that Minghua seems to be a little hesitant, he immediately said: "Don't listen to his nonsense, have you forgotten why the prince became like this?" Then Dr. Zhu gave him poison, can he save the prince's life again? How is that possible? It was definitely his poison, but now that things are out of control, he found Dr. Zhu to save his life, he must have a purpose in checking the palace, you don't want to be fooled. ”
Seeing Pei Ling'an so flustered, Minghua seemed to notice that something was wrong. It stands to reason that Guan Qing's investigation of the palace must be a matter of angering the prince, these two people turn against each other for Pei Ling'an, but Pei Ling'an is suddenly so disgusted, what is the reason for this?
Could it be that he was afraid of finding out something? 000 Literature
Now in this situation, Jing Xing is unconscious, Wei Rui is not in the palace, Pei Ling'an's identity is sensitive and dangerous, Minghua herself actually does not dare to make decisions at will, in case of any trouble for the prince, she will not be able to lose anything.
But looking at Guan Qing's sincere and firm eyes, Minghua was afraid that he would do nothing, and he would really regret it in the future as Guan Qing said, so what should he do?
Minghua hesitated, and at this time, the doctor who lived in the palace that Pei Ling'an was looking for happened to come out of the house, and he said to everyone: "The prince is fine, you can recover with a lot of rest, I will retreat first." ”
Guan Qing suddenly stopped him and said, "Don't go, doctor, I have something to ask." ”
The doctor suddenly became excited, Minghua saw his strange behavior, and also knew that he was the person Pei Ling had placed in the palace, and he was immediately suspicious.
At this time, Guan Qing looked at her again and said, "Minghua, let me ask you one last time, do you want me to check this matter?" If you don't let me find out, I'll take my leave, and you'll be responsible for anything that happens in the future. ”
Minghua was slightly confused, she felt that she was standing at a huge fork in the road, and she didn't know which way to go.
At this time, Qin Feng, who had been watching the play, suddenly said, "What's so embarrassing about this?" This time, it was Lord Guan who respected your wishes, so he asked so much, according to the identity of Lord Guan, what happened to check a few of your subordinates? If there is any problem, when your prince wakes up, he will push everything on Lord Guan, isn't it just right? ”
Minghua seemed to make sense when he heard it, but Pei Ling'an was even more anxious: "Girl, don't listen to him, he has bad intentions, who knows what to check the palace?" ”
Qin Feng said: "You are in such a hurry to stop it, is there something unsightly, afraid of being discovered?" ”
Pei Ling'an was immediately unhappy, stretched out his hand and pointed at Qin Feng and said, "Don't spew blood!" ”
Qin Feng shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm just a playmaker, why should I be angry with me?" ”
Pei Lingan wanted to say something, but heard Minghua say: "Butler, go and bring over the people who have served the prince recently and those who have been in contact with the prince, I want to see what Lord Guan wants to investigate." ”
"But Lord Guan, if nothing is found out in the end, how are you going to explain it to me?"
Guan Qing said with a smile: "This is naturally Minghua girl, you have the final say, what kind of explanation you want, I will give you what kind of handover, how?" ”
Minghua didn't say anything, ignored Pei Ling'an's protest, and directly asked people to find someone.
Pei Ling'an was in a hurry, he couldn't do anything else in front of Guan Qing, if he told Minghua about Wei Rui's matter and threatened her now, I am afraid that he would expose himself even more. Besides, Wei Rui is the last trump card in their hands, and it should not be used for this kind of thing.
When the housekeeper called everyone over, Guan Qing sat on the chair brought by Qin Feng and said, "Who sent the prince's potion?" Who delivers the meals? Who serves at night? ”
As soon as the words fell, two little girls stepped forward, one was given by her, and the other was made by her, at this time, Minghua also stood up and said: "I am guarding the prince at night." ”
Guan Qing asked people from the back kitchen to come again, asked where they bought the food, who could touch the food after it was cooked, and asked who boiled the medicine and who prescribed the prescription.
A few questions were asked, and the relevant personnel were also picked out, and irrelevant people and others all withdrew, but those who have been back and forth more recently in Jingxing have to stay.
In this way, there are about ten people who stay, all of them are old girls in the house, only one or two are newcomers, Minghua didn't say that those people were Pei Ling'an's people, only that they were newly bought.
In addition, plus Minghua, Pei Ling'an, and the doctor, there are thirteen people in total.
Guan Qing opened his mouth and said, "Yesterday, Dr. Zhu came once, but you may not have paid attention. But fortunately, you don't know, otherwise the prince was given chronic poison, but no one found out! ”
Guan Qing was suddenly angry, and a group of people didn't know whether they were frightened by him or by the fact that the prince was poisoned, and they didn't dare to speak, showing a panicked expression.
