After dawn, Xiao He cleaned up a little and was about to enter the palace. Before leaving, Xiao Shi stopped her, she was puzzled, and stared at him with a slight frown.

"Don't be impulsive at this time, inquire clearly before taking a long-term view." He was still worried that she was acting impulsively. Just because he knows her temperament, she will always take special care of the people on her side, and sometimes she loses her calm in order to save people. This is her strength, but it is also her weakness.

Xiao He snorted, then passed him and went out.

There is no need for early court today, Xiao He came to the door of the imperial study early, and Gonggong Liu was really waiting there, and he knew that Mu Churan had already reviewed the chapter in the imperial study. Gonggong Liu saw Xiao He coming from a distance, so he greeted him and saluted, "Lord Xiao, but you are here to see the emperor?" ”

Xiao He solemnly returned the salute to Gonggong Liu and said, "No, this official is here to find Gonggong Liu." ”

Gonggong Liu was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "I don't know what the adults are looking for the old slave?" ”

Xiao Hecai explained: "I heard that yesterday the imperial doctor Xue Liangan committed a crime and was locked in the prison of the Jingzhao Mansion. This Imperial Physician Xue has been kind to this official and has treated this official several times, so I want to ask him what he has done? I also hope that Liu Gonggong will give you one or two advice. ”

Gonggong Liu shook the dust and turned his head to make a difficulty, "It turned out to be for Imperial Doctor Xue, this ......"

"Is it that he has committed a taboo and cannot speak to anyone?" Xiao He was shocked.

Gonggong Liu glanced up at Xiao He, invited him to the side of the corridor, and then said softly: "This matter involves the harem, and the old slave doesn't dare to say much." In short, it was someone who reported that Imperial Doctor Xue poisoned the concubine on the occasion of the consultation, and misdiagnosed the Queen Mother's wind and cold as poisoning, which made Long Yan furious. ”

Saying that, Gonggong Liu raised his head and looked around again, before continuing to say to Xiao Heyan: "The evidence in this matter is conclusive, and it should have been dealt with as capital punishment, but the emperor determined that Imperial Doctor Xue still had a fellow party, so he handed it over to Jingzhao Mansion to investigate." It's better for Lord Xiao to stay out of the matter. ”

"Poisoning the concubine? Conclusive? Xiao He couldn't believe his ears.

This is the crime of the Nine Clans, once convicted, the Xue family will not be protected.

"If there is nothing else, the old slave will go to wait outside the imperial study, so as not to see no one when the emperor summons him." Gonggong Liu saluted Xiao He again, and then turned around and retired.

Xiao He originally wanted to ask what this evidence was, but when he saw that Liu Gonggong's words flickered, he deliberately avoided it, so he stopped asking and let him go.

Recently, there has been no concubine in the palace who has passed away, that was a few days ago, and the matter of so long ago was turned out again, which is obviously a deliberate plan. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with Mu Churan.

But the matter involves the Queen Mother, and it may be related to the Queen Mother.

It's a pity that there is only one bottle of medicine that can spit out the truth, otherwise I would also feed a bottle to the Queen Mother, so that she can honestly explain what the trick is.

At present, it seems that the person who knows the whole process best, except for Xue Liangan himself, is Mu Churan. No matter what the reason, Xiao He had to take this medicine.

She arrived at the Jixian Hall first, and she really couldn't be too anxious about this matter.

Mu Churan must have expected that he would be worried about Xue Liangan's affairs, if he acted too quickly, he would lose his bearings. The more you are at this time, the more calm you have to be. As Xiao Shi advised, everything still needs to be considered in the long run.

In the Jixian Palace, Xiao He chatted with the students of the Imperial History Academy, and from the fun in the history books, he talked about it from the east to the west, and deliberately led the topic to the present. She pretended to be careless and asked, "Some time ago, a concubine died in the harem, do you know her identity?" ”

Someone raised his hand, "Your Excellency, can you say that the lady who died in early February this year?" ”

Xiao He vaguely remembered that it was the time when he left the palace with Mu Yunjing, and at that time, only this concubine in the palace passed away. She nodded, "Exactly." "The student only knows that when the first emperor was in power, she was named a concubine because she gave birth to the second prince, and as for the rest, because the years have passed, no one has ever said about it, so I don't know." He said that this is indeed the case.

Since the death of the second prince that year, Mu Churan was canonized as the crown prince, to the death of the first emperor, and then to Mu Churan's accession to the throne, the crown prince Tang Qinghua almost used torture such as literary prison to erase all the deeds of the first prince and the second prince, and there are few records in the palace classics.

Except for some people in the old palace who still vaguely remember, others, especially those who have just entered the palace, don't know that there were two brothers in the Holy Heaven today. It is conceivable that there are even fewer people who know about this royal secret.

Back then, because of Tang Qinghua's actions, many ministers who supported the former prince suffered back then, but in fact, Tang Qinghua took the opportunity to eradicate dissidents. What he wants to kill is all the restless elements to ensure that the young emperor's country is stable, so that his power can be stable.

It was expected that at that time, he never expected that a few years later, he would die at the hands of the "puppet" emperor who had been cultivated by himself.

It's just that Tang Qinghua's ruthless methods make people even more suspicious of those rumors, and Xiao He has heard from Mu Yunjing's mouth over the years, so it can be confirmed that this person did have the ability to turn the clouds and rain back then, stirring up the court situation, and covering the sky with one hand.

But under him, Concubine Shu can live in peace, so many years have passed, Tang Qinghua has long been an ancient, how could it be her turn to be poisoned?

This made Xiao He really can't figure it out, an old woman who lives in the harem, has no power and power, who can hinder her? And Xue Liangan has only been a royal doctor for more than ten years, and he has no foundation, what is the motive of the person who pointed out that Xue Liangan poisoned the concubine?

And the Xue family has always stayed away from the court situation and does not participate in political affairs, Xue Liangan, as a doctor, has always done his best, has superb medical skills, and has worked tirelessly. With such a good doctor, who would want to harm him? If the Xue family is really in trouble, what benefits will the mastermind behind the scenes get?

A series of unsolvable mysteries made Xiao He fall into deep thought.

Before lunch, Mu Churan sent someone to Xuan Xiao He and ordered him to eat with him.

Xiao He was stunned in his heart, surprised and happy, surprised that Mu Churan took the initiative to find her so soon, I was afraid that she already knew what she had asked about Gonggong Liu in the morning, and she was happy that God had sent her the opportunity again, and she was worried that she couldn't find the right time to drug Mu Churan.

She followed the little eunuch who passed the message, but the path that the little eunuch led did not lead to the main hall in front of the court, but seemed to be in the direction of the imperial garden.

Mu Churan put his lunch in the imperial garden, just because most of the lotus flowers in Yichun Lake have bloomed recently. He is elegant, watching flowers and eating at the same time, but Xiao He is in a heavy mood at the moment, and he still has to pile up a light and calm appearance.

When I got closer, I saw that bright yellow, almost wanting to confuse people's eyes. He stood in the pavilion with his hands in his hands, leaving no palace people in front of him, and he was alone, and he was a little depressed.

And Mu Churan also turned his head to look at the crimson after following the sound, knowing that the person he was waiting for had arrived, he took a few steps to the steps of the pavilion.

Xiao He came to salute recently, but he was held by him with one hand, "Aiqing is exempt from courtesy, come and sit." ”

Hearing this, Xiao He just pursed his lips, and then complied with him and sat with him at the stone table in the pavilion.

"Pass the meal!" Mu Churan waved his hand and said to the palace people waiting outside the pavilion.

Xu is seeing Xiao He, he is in a good mood, and even speaks with a warm smile, as if he has an apricot halo. Xiao He raised his eyes, and his two little figures were reflected in his pupils, and his heart moved, and he couldn't help but avoid his gaze.

From time to time, she had to remind herself not to forget what was going on.

After a while, the palace people came one after another with plates. The stone table, though large, was almost full in a matter of moments. The palace banquets that Xiao He participated in before were all eaten one dish at a time, and he hadn't tried two people yet, and he didn't feel a little too extravagant when he ate such a large table of dishes.

"Your Majesty, it's just the two of us who eat, so much is inevitable that I can't eat, and it's a waste of money." Xiao He pointed to the table.

Mu Churan smiled indifferently, "If you can't eat it, there will naturally be palace people to deal with it, so you don't have to worry about waste." These are few, I want to dine with you on the edge of Yichun Lake today, and I deliberately asked them to prepare less, just because I am afraid that you will not get used to it. ”

Xiao He couldn't help but scolded in his heart, this is still called less preparation, I really should let this bastard emperor go to the people to take a look at what ordinary people's dinner tables look like.

"Come on, you try this." Mu Churan stretched out his chopsticks and put some vegetables in the small bowl in front of Xiao He.

There are only more than 30 dishes on this stone table, and they are all made in small portions according to Mu Churan's instructions, and Mu Churan eats alone on weekdays, at least more than 50 dishes, although he can't actually eat many dishes.

The imperial chef also mastered his tastes, and only put more effort into the dishes he usually ate every day, and the other dishes were just dealt with at will.

Although Mu Churan himself felt that this rule was a bit troublesome, but after all, it was an ancestral system, he passed like this when he was very young, he was the king of a country, and the more dishes in front of him could also show the strength of the country, and then, the dishes on the people's table could be placed more.

Thinking about it like this, over time, he didn't think it was a problem.

On weekdays, there are two rows of people standing next to Mu Churan, some of whom are trying dishes and passing dishes, and today they are also afraid that Xiao He will not get used to it, and those people have now been sent away by him. Even the people who served close to him were pushed out of the pavilion to wait, and he just wanted to have a quiet meal with her.

Mu Churan seemed to be able to clamp the vegetables, and the small bowls in front of Xiao He were piled up like a hill. She smiled awkwardly, "Enough, enough to eat." Your Majesty, there is no need to serve vegetables to Weichen anymore. ”

Mu Churan stopped his chopsticks, "You taste it, do you like it?" ”

Xiao He sighed in his heart, lifted the chopsticks, and pinched something that he didn't know what Mingtang was, and without looking at it, he stuffed it into his mouth, not knowing the taste of food, but with a spring breeze on his face and a smile. What she was worried about in her heart was Xue Liang'an, who was still in the prison of Jingzhao Mansion, and she didn't know what kind of torture he was suffering at the moment, and the crimes he suffered were all due to the person in front of her.
