Ning Tong's face was strange for a while, and the words of stopping came to his lips, but he didn't dare to say it.

The imperial physician soon came to the Qianqing Palace.

"Back to the emperor, Ning commanded the envoy from his head to the sides of his neck, and there was no possibility of being knocked unconscious." After the imperial doctor checked it, he said truthfully: "It's just ......"

"Just what? Said-"Hearing that Ning Tong was not knocked unconscious, Emperor Zhaofeng was already displeased.

"Just above the back of the shoulder...... There were a few scratches. The imperial doctor looked a little embarrassed and said, "It looks like a human fingernail has scratched it." ”

"Enough!" Emperor Zhaofeng interrupted with a frown.

What kind of is this...... It's unbearable!

Although it sounds quite exciting.

"Your Majesty, the minister ......" Ning Tong said with a bitter face: "Maybe someone drugged the minister?" ”

Anyway, he wouldn't be unconscious for no reason, would he?

The Imperial Physician said in a timely manner: "After a person is drugged in his body, for at least twelve hours, his pulse will appear more or less weak. And the minister has already commanded Ning to check the pulse, and its pulse is stable, but also has the image of real heat, and looking at his eyes, mouth and nose, he can see the hot and evil breath, but it seems to be ...... Symptoms after an overdose of aphrodisiacs—"

There were other symptoms, but he couldn't tell what kind of medication he was taking.

However, for people who are so overwhelmed and obese and sickly, it should be common to take medicine indiscriminately.

Ning Tong's lips turned white when he heard this, he clenched his teeth and looked at the imperial doctor.

He turned around and asked which one of these people was ignorant and not afraid of death, and he dared to tear down his platform like this with so much nonsense!

Faintly aware of Ning Tong's eyes, Ming Taiyi's face did not change.

Hehe, in the face of such a heinous person, he didn't take the opportunity to slander a few more nonsense, he already has excellent professional ethics.

"What else do you have to say?" Emperor Zhaofeng looked at Ning Tong with a heavy face.

Ning Tong, who was rarely looked at by Emperor Zhaofeng with such a look, shuddered.

His tone tightened: "Your Majesty, the minister dares to guarantee with his life...... I really don't remember what happened last night. ”

"It's strange that you're not injured or drugged, but you say you don't remember anything." Emperor Zhaofeng sneered and said: "Could it be that it is really as rumored outside, you have done too many things that lack virtue in Su Ri, and you have been punished by the gods?" ”

“……”

It's really hard to say...... right?

He also thought that what happened last night was really weird!

But if he confesses to what the gods say, isn't it tantamount to admitting that he has suffered retribution for his lack of virtue?

Ning Tong, who was in a dilemma, could only shout injustice.

"Alright, don't play with me!"

Although this kind of thing is something that no one has the face to admit......

Emperor Zhaofeng not only understood, but was more angry.

"With such a scandal this time, you don't have to go out again in the near future! Leave your job and reflect at home! ”

Ning Tong trembled when he heard this.

The emperor actually suspended him!

Even if he really slept with a few men, he reprimanded him, he was all his own family, could he be suspended from his duties?

Ning Tong had just left the Qianqing Palace in embarrassment, and he was invited to Ning Guifei's Changchun Palace.

Ning Guifei heard the news of her brother's suspension, and she was so angry that her chest hurt.

It's a shame to be embarrassed, but it's not a big matter of killing people and setting fires, how can the emperor stop his brother's office?

Speaking of shame, where is there anything more humiliating than a dignified emperor who indulges in alchemy and seeking immortals all day long?

Concubine Ning immediately went to the Qianqing Palace and cried in front of Emperor Zhaofeng.

Emperor Zhaofeng coaxed him with good words: "The reason why I punished him is not because I am afraid that Yushi will try to impeach him by all means? At that time, it will be as simple as suspension. ”

"Is what the emperor said true?" Concubine Ning looked at him with tears in her eyes.

"When did I lie to you?"

Ahem, deception is common, because it is not possible to deceive.

What kind of official reputation and official morality do you tell her, what is the special situation, and the people talk about it, she can't understand it, maybe she will ask you in turn - can the people still ride on the emperor's head?

Ning Guifei was a little relieved.

"But, Concubine—"

Emperor Zhaofeng paused, and looked at her with complicated eyes: "What I reminded you before, can you take it to heart?" ”

Ning Guifei's action of wiping her tears froze.

"The concubine always remembered. This time, the concubine brother is indeed at fault, and it is time to reflect on it. ”

She lowered her head and made a guilty look: "It's the concubine who is ashamed of the emperor's love." ”

"Concubine Ai's words are serious."

Emperor Zhaofeng smiled, his eyes returned to normal, and there was no longer any discoloration on his face.

……

It was early afternoon, and the autumn sun was high.

On the outskirts of Beijing, the trees are withered, the grass leaves are withered and yellow, and there is depression everywhere.

On the banks of the Wushui River, several farmers still dressed in short brown and porters who passed by to rest here were talking.

"All these crops are drought......

Looking at the fields not far away, a farmer sighed.

At the beginning of the drought, they carried a load of water to the fields, but they could not survive the scorching sun of the dog days, and the tired work here was dried up again after a day of watering.

After months of drought, and it was a hot summer, even this river of material water that has fed countless generations is about to dry up.

The bottomless water of the river is now no more than knee-deep, and silt has appeared in the shallow places.

"They all say that there is a river god in this river who guards the spring...... The river can't be dried. The older man said in a firm tone.

"Isn't the Great Master preparing to pray for rain? In two days, it will be raining. ”

"It is said that the great master has the ability to reach the heavens, and the imperial court has captured so many living people to sacrifice to the heavens...... There should be hope. ”

"Oh, I hope so......"

It was a natural disaster, and everyone was a little depressed when it came to this.

Soon someone else was raised.

"But this year has been a lot of weird things...... Especially in the Great Yongchang Temple, two strange things have happened one after another. ”

One thing is naturally that the altar is on fire.

The second is undoubtedly the scandal that just spread today.

"Hey, there are many monsters in the natural disaster...... The strange things that have happened recently are not only ...... in the Great Yongchang Temple," an old man who was nearly sixty or seventy years old looked at the murky river and said thoughtfully.

"Uncle, what do you mean by that?"

Several young men looked at the old man.

The old man came back to his senses, got up with a smile and said, "It's not too early, I should go and drink." ”

As he spoke, he grabbed the gourd containing the wine on the side and walked away slowly.

"We can't even eat, where did he get the money to drink?" Someone said with a frown.

"A few days ago, he still relied on my family to help......"

"Could it be that you have to pick up the money?"

Not far away, Qing Yu, who had collected these words in his ears, followed in the direction where the old man had left.

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came into his ears.

"Oh no!"

The little girl's panicked voice spread everywhere.
