Chapter 151: The Secret of the Dust

The return of Wen Moqing makes the complicated situation reversed in an instant.

Originally, the Ministry of Internal Affairs had already submitted the results of the examination of the Accounting Department to Emperor Wen Jingyuan, but even if Fang Tian tried his best, he could not find evidence to clear the guilt of negligence for Yan Liwu, and according to the proposal of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Yan Liwu should be given at least 20 court rods and then sent to the Imperial Palace to serve his sentence, at least half a year, and at most three years.

The palace is full of convicted palace maids and convicted courtiers, and the living environment is bad, and many people die of hunger or injury and illness in the palace every year. Wen Moshu was anxious after learning that Yan Liwu might face punishment, if it weren't for the cold Chu Ci blocking him, I am afraid that he would have used his connections to dissuade Wen Jingyuan desperately, and just when he was arguing with Chu Ci, another piece of news came closely.

From Tang Shouzhong, the envoy of the Imperial Medical Hall, to Gonggong Xu, who was in charge of medicine in the medicine storehouse, and then to Chen Bing, the accountant of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Wei Zhijing, the outsider, a whole eleven people were implicated and confessed to the crime. With Wen Moqing watching coldly on the side, coupled with the presence of human and material evidence, these eleven people were not even able to beg for mercy before they were ordered to be dealt with severely by Wen Jingyuan.

According to Miss Yan, every time she prescribes a prescription, she will ask Dr. Zhou to check whether there are any omissions and errors, and Dr. Zhou has also taken the opportunity of the professor to check Miss Yan's pulse, and he knows better than anyone else what kind of medicine to get and what effect she should take. It was from these two points that the prince investigated, first dragged the Zhou medical officer away and applied Enwei and Shi, and then expanded the scope after the Tang envoy and Xu Gonggong who were behind the scenes, and then checked all the people related to the case in one go, and then threw the evidence of the crime to the emperor. In fact, there should be a higher-status mastermind behind this matter, but it is really difficult to continue to investigate as the prince, and it is already the limit to be able to go this far, and if you continue to investigate, I am afraid that the emperor will not order punishment so quickly. ā€

Chu Ci was not surprised by this result, and even quickly deduced Wen Moqing's means and deeper relationships, although Wen Mo was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief after listening to the analysis, his mood was not ordinarily bad.

He was very happy to regain his innocence, and the people who made him unhappy were Wen Mozheng and Chu Ci.

"You and Mo Zheng have a lot of clues in our hands that others don't know, right? In the end, the person who found out the truth should not be the prince of Dingyuan, but neither of you two will tell me or seriously investigate, if it is not for the prince who happened to return to the palace, do you plan to watch Miss Yan be wronged? ā€

In the memory of the Spring and Autumn Period, Wen Moshu had never said anything serious to Chu Ci like this. Out of the maintenance of his master, Chunqiu wanted to come forward to defend himself, but after thinking about it, even he felt that Chu Ci was wrong in this matter, and he stumbled for a long time, and finally just shook his head and stood behind Chu Ci depressedly.

In this regard, Chu Ci is still the same old attitude, careless, and dismissive.

"Your Highness thinks that investigating the case is as simple as finding evidence, presenting evidence, revealing the truth, and seeking fairness? The prince of Dingyuan is the emperor's confidant, and he has great power in his hands, even the courtiers of the first and second grades have to bow their heads when they see him, why does he only pull out the dust lying on the surface but not shake out the sand and gravel in the quagmire? Seeing that Wen Moshu was silent, Chu Ci took the time to drink tea leisurely, "This case involves the Imperial Medical Pavilion, the Medicine Depot and the Internal Affairs Office, the real mastermind behind the scenes must have a very high status and connections to arrange such a big show, Your Highness thinks about it, the prince of Dingyuan does not dare to act rashly, can His Royal Highness or the fourth prince afford to offend?" Even if His Highness had the courage to get to the bottom of it, it would only backfire and make Miss Yan's situation worse. ā€

Since he was assisted by the wise and demonic Chu Ci, Wen Moshu basically didn't bother to dismantle these complicated conspiracies, but he didn't lack the eyes and heart to discover the truth, and with just a few words from Chu Ci, he quickly understood the mystery behind this matter.

Wen Moqing directly serves Emperor Wen Jingyuan, in Wen Jingyuan's heart, who can weigh more than Wen Moqing? There are only three such people.

Concubine Yun, Lian Song, and Wen Jingyuan himself.

Looking at Wen Moshu's thoughtful expression, Chu Ci felt that his painstaking explanation was finally not in vain, and provoked a lazy smile and smiled lightly: "In fact, if this case is investigated, it means that it has not been investigated, Tang Shouzhong's people are just chess pieces that have long been abandoned, what is the use of not catching them and punishing them?" The real intention of the mastermind behind the scenes, as I said before, is just to provoke the relationship between His Royal Highness and the prince by saying that he is not worried, so of course the fourth prince, as a third party, will not work hard to track down, after all, this is a good opportunity for him to reap the benefits of the fisherman; Let's talk about the real mastermind behind the scenes, why did he or they go to great lengths to set up a game with no casualties? The answer is very simple, because no matter who comes out for Miss Yan, losses are inevitable. ā€

"If the person who finds out the truth is Mo Zheng, he will lose the opportunity for me to have a dislike with the son; If it is me who finds out the truth, someone will make a big fuss about my relationship with Miss Yan, and it is more likely that I will use some forces to attract the emperor's vigilance; If it is the son of the world who finds out the truth...... Well, I must have some minds. The chaotic clues gradually formed a bright line in his mind, and Wen Moshu gasped, and his heart was cold.

Chu Ci shrugged: "What, Your Highness finally thought of who might be the mastermind behind the scenes?" ā€

After a moment's pause, Wen Mo nodded tiredly.

"There is only one person who can profit from all three outcomes, and that is the emperor."

Wen Mozheng, who is deeply supported by the people, Wen Moshu, who has a wide range of friends in secret, and Wen Moqing, the prince who enters and leaves the palace as if he is in a no-man's land, and has no respect for him as a courtier, no matter which one of them is Wen Jingyuan's botching sting.

The result of the overly astonishing inference made Wen Moshu not speak for a long time, and his cough was tight for a while, and when he let go, the cuffs were bloody again.

"Second Prince...... I—I'm going to call the senior medical officer!" Chunqiu looked at Wen Moshu with palpitations, swallowed his saliva and wanted to call someone, but was stopped by Wen Moshu raising his hand.

"Don't tell the senior medical officer, Chen Niang has medicine there, just help me get it." Wen Moshu wiped away the blood stains on his lips, looked at the blood-colored crimson cuffs and smiled bitterly, "I don't know how long this body can last, whether I can last until the end depends on the creation, if I can't fulfill your wish, I can only say sorry." ā€

Chu Ci lowered his eyes shallowly: "With the life-sustaining medicine of the Shentai Divine Doctor, I will definitely be able to protect His Highness to the beginning of the great cause, but if I want to marry a wife and have children and enjoy a peaceful family, probably His Highness will not have that opportunity - even so, does His Highness still insist on being with Miss Yan?" ā€

"I don't care how long I can live, if I can be with her, even if I can be with her, it will be precious at my fingertips."

"Really? His Royal Highness is really a ruthless person, and while saying that he is willing to give up his glory, wealth, and power for Miss Yan, he also deceives her for the moment of satisfaction he wants. Didn't His Highness think about it, when Miss Yan was still young and His Royal Highness had to die, there was only one person in the deserted harem with a shadow, how would she survive the long rest of her life? ā€

Chu Ci's voice was light and straight, and the tone without any ups and downs could not be heard whether he was mocking or accusing, but it was such casual words that were sharper than the sharpest knife to Wen Moshu.

He had long known that his life was short, but he had never told Yan Li.

"Chu Ci, no one knows what kind of person I am better than you." Wen Moshu smiled hoarsely, and his expression was silent when he pointed to his heart, "This heart is more selfish than anyone else, so I will do many things that I regret, and now what I want to do is to be with my beloved, even if I want to lie to her, it doesn't matter...... This is the last wish I received from you. ā€

The spring breeze outside the window is strong, and a few spring thunders are absent.

Looking at the gradually gloomy sky, Chu Ci was silent for a long time, a wax pill the size of a bull's eye swirled between his fingers, and finally threw it into the residual tea with a thud, looking back with an inexplicable smile: "If you say selfishness, Your Highness and I are the same kind of people." ā€

※※※

The rain in spring is a good omen, which means that the wind and rain are smooth, and the autumn harvest is abundant.

"The imperial concubine is happy, the countries send envoys back and forth, coupled with the conquest of the army to drive the enemy back and forth, this year can be described as the opening of the door and the spring is coming, it is an auspicious omen for the emperor to comply with the will of heaven and ascend to the throne! With God's blessing, the emperor's illness will be cured as soon as possible, and the former dynasty and the harem are waiting for the emperor's pleasure! ā€

Looking at the clear blue sky after the first rain, Wen Jingyuan was in a surprisingly good mood, and his sallow face improved a lot, and he took a leisurely walk outside the imperial study with his hands in his hands, while listening to Zhao Gonggong say some nice words, while calculating how many great achievements he had made in the past year or so.

One year, just one year, the border wars that had been delayed by the first emperor won one after another under his decisive determination, and the Qingyue Kingdom, which had not been enshrined for many years, was honestly restored to its original state, and even the countries outside the state that had always existed in a hostile posture were sent into the Yuan one after another, and for a while, the Yuan Kingdom recovered from corruption and extravagance. In this case, it is only necessary to stabilize the internal affairs and establish the prince, but when he is becoming more and more anxious for the successor, the good news that the imperial concubine Long Yue'er is pregnant with the sixth class came from the Huangyi Palace.

Wen Jingyuan really couldn't help but sigh for his luck, he even felt that all this was arranged for him by God, it seemed that he should have sat on this throne, and he should have been a wise emperor who was praised by all the people and passed down for centuries.

However, there are still some things and some people who displease him, and he always thinks that those people or things are perfect when they disappear without a trace.

"Prime Minister, the emperor is in a good mood today, will you accompany you?" Zhao Gonggong smiled and shouted to make Wen Jingyuan retract his hot and cold gaze, and when he looked back, Lian Song, who was dressed in plain white and almost dazzling, walked with his hands in his hands, and his feminine face faintly had a delicate fairy aura.

Or rather, demonic spirits.

"Yesterday, the official department Shangshu sent four boxes of fresh tribute honey to my palace, please ask Zhao Gonggong to take someone to get it, I can't get used to eating that thing, so it's better to hand it over to the dining room as an ingredient." Lian Song walked away from Zhao Gonggong and walked slowly beside Wen Jingyuan, the slightly curved pure white hair was curled between his fingers, and the blue wrench was loosely entangled.

Raising his eyes and looking in the direction of the outer palace, his bloodless lips were slightly upturned, and Lian Song narrowed his eyes carefully: "The prince of Dingyuan suddenly returned to the palace to disrupt the plan, which Weichen expected in advance. However, Wei Chen was still a little surprised, he never thought that the prince would conflict with the second prince in that situation, it seems that the mysterious and mysterious Yan medical officer is more valuable than Wei Chen expected. ā€
