Chapter 125: Greed for money

At night, a candle was lit in the large inner room, and the candle flame was blown and swayed by the autumn wind that poured into the window lattice. It almost went out several times.

Zhuang Xianchen came here every night to accompany Cen Muning, from evening to late at night, for ten consecutive days.

She has not woken up for ten days. Rely on green plows and ice to feed some ginseng soup to survive. Seeing that people are losing weight day by day, Zhuang Chenchen has a feeling of powerlessness.

Until Yin Li pushed the door in and let the wind blow out the candle. He came back to his senses and touched the fire fold in his hand, and got up to light the candle again. "Has the person arranged by Qingli checked?"

"Checked." Yin Li said without concealment: "Qingli found a total of three people, and his subordinates strictly investigated, and only one person was suitable to enter the palace for the queen's mother." His subordinates have already arranged for him to enter the palace tomorrow. ”

"Who?"

"This man's name is Helian. In recent years, he has been traveling around practicing medicine, but he is arrogant and never treats the poor. He has always regarded money as his life. And his subordinates have also traced his origins. His master used to be a monk in Guang'an Temple, and all his skills were learned in the temple since he was a child. A person who can be bought with money is the simplest person. He is so greedy and vain, and the only person who can give him the greatest satisfaction in this world is you, the master. Therefore, the subordinates felt that he could use it. An abandoned baby who was abandoned in the temple has no relatives next to him, even if there is anything wrong with him, there is no trouble in killing him. ”

"It's okay." Zhuang Chenchen was anxious, not knowing how long Cen Muning could last. There is simply someone else who can be used. "Arrange for him to enter the palace tomorrow."

"Yes." Yin Li was about to turn around and retire, when he heard the master ask again.

"What's going on on the Queen Mother's side?"

"Back to the master's words, the queen mother seems to be trying her best to get rid of suspicion, since the queen mother fell into a coma, she has been investigating the palace people who repaired the palace, and the palace people who entered and exited that day did not let go. It's just that the queen mother's methods are also gentle, and she doesn't believe some people's confessions, so she puts people in a prison cell, and is interrogated in detail by a full-time slave in the cell. So far, no torture has been used, and no one has been killed. Yin Li just expressed his concerns: "My subordinates always feel that this matter may not be the queen mother's plan." got up in the morning and had a quarrel with the queen, and the queen immediately went through the calamity, and for the queen mother, there was no benefit at all. ”

"You want to say that I have wronged the queen mother." Zhuang Chen's words couldn't be heard.

"The subordinates talk a lot, and ask the emperor to forgive them." Yin Li hurriedly surrendered his hand: "The subordinates are just afraid of indulging the real murderer." ”

"Who do you think the real culprit will be?" Zhuang Chenchen felt that there was something in his words: "Or, who do you suspect?" ”

Yin Li was silent for a moment before he said in a low voice: "Looking at the palace, I am afraid that the only one who dares to confront the Queen Mother is the Queen Mother." The queen's mother is very proficient in pharmacology, and at the time of the incident, only Bingling was injured by the queen's side. ”

This time it was Zhuang Chen's turn to be silent.

Knowing that Cen Muning was injured, he immediately thought that it was the queen mother's hand, and even broke into Fengluan Hall a little irrationally. At this time, when he calmed down, he always felt that he was at the mercy of something, and he lost his usual calm. It felt bad, as if I was bound by her.

"Your Majesty, the queen has always been wise, and her subordinates are just worried that her motives are not pure." Yin Li glanced at the bed, and his tone was a little cold: "I heard Qingli say that the queen mother and the master took the medicine of broken children before you got married, as a woman, it is extraordinary to be able to do such a ruthless hand to yourself." The subordinates thought that the queen's methods were not only these. ”

"You seem to have a deep prejudice against the queen." Zhuang Chenchen furrowed his brows and looked at Yin Li suspiciously. "What has the queen offended you?"

"The subordinates don't dare, they just talk about things." Yin Li said with a solemn face: "The woman next to the master is better to be submissive." The subordinates always feel that the queen is planning something, and ask the master to beware. ”

"That's it." Zhuang Chenchen waved his hand: "She calculates me, I didn't calculate her." It's just taking advantage of each other. ”

He just took advantage of her. This is the most high-sounding statement he gave himself. Because of her extraordinary family background, because she has the brain to share his worries, and because she is willing to obey his orders. Such a woman, no matter how stupid she is, is good-looking, and can cook, and it is good to stay around.

"The subordinates retired." Yin Li could clearly feel that the master's heart was slowly approaching the queen little by little. He could clearly feel this change, but he didn't know if the master himself was aware of it.

Zhuang Yanchen gently touched Cen Muning's emaciated face, and he couldn't figure out whether to believe her or not.

The next day, Xia Chao Yinli told him that Helian had entered the Fengluan Palace.

"I'll see you." Zhuang Chenchen did not hesitate and went directly to the Fengling Palace.

Yin Li followed behind him, his face becoming more and more gloomy. It seems that the queen not only won the queen mother's game, but also consolidated her position in the master's heart. Now I regret it a little and let this Helian enter the palace.

"Say hello to the emperor." Bingling was coming out with a medicine bowl, and he met the emperor and hurriedly saluted.

"What happened to the Queen?" Zhuang Chenchen frowned and asked.

"The queen mother took the medicine, and her face looked much better. Lang Zhong, who was invited by Qingli, was also inside. Bingling said respectfully: "The slave will go and make tea for the emperor." ”

"Hmm." Zhuang Zhenchen walked in by himself.

Yin Li stopped Bingling. "Why didn't you ask Lang Zhong to show you a shoulder injury too?"

"The slave and maid are just dislocated, and the imperial doctor has gone back to the slave and maid, and after resting for so many days, it has been well for a long time." Bingling said gently: "I really don't dare to bother this Langzhong." I'm sorry for you. ”

"If the queen mother is as serious about herself as you are, there is no need to work so hard." Yin Li sneered, and after finishing speaking, he turned around and walked into the inner room.

He walked in, and Bingling realized what he meant. At first, I thought I had heard it wrong, but when I thought about it, I suddenly lost my breath. What kind of queen mother did it to herself, wouldn't he be wronging the queen when he said this. If it weren't for the fact that Niangniang was being treated inside, she would have chased in and reasoned with him.

"It just doesn't make sense." After holding his stomach and making tea for the emperor, when he returned to the inner room, Yin Li stood there with a calm face. It's as if he never said anything like that. Bingling almost couldn't hold back a cup of tea from spilling it.

"Your Majesty, please use it slowly." She brought the teacup to the emperor before smiling gently.

Zhuang Yanchen took the teacup and watched Helian use dazzling acupuncture to treat the queen, and his heartstrings tightened.

Finally, after receiving the needle, Helian turned around and came over to greet him. "Helian, grass people, knock on the emperor."

"Flat." Zhuang Chenchen put down the teacup and asked uneasily: "Your needle technique is as fast as the wind, and the needles fall in different places, and it seems that you are confident." So, as far as you judge, when will the queen wake up? ”

The corners of Helian's lips rose slightly, and he smiled evilly: "Then it depends on when the emperor wants the queen to wake up." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Zhuang Chenchen's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and when he looked at him, his eyes were full of expectation.

"The heavier the emperor's reward, the more dedicated the grass people are. The more dedicated the grass people are, the sooner the queen will naturally wake up. After Helian said this, he didn't forget to show a deferential appearance: "Everything is up to the emperor." ”

"Bold." Yin Li's face tightened, and his tone was serious: "In front of the Holy Driver, how can you be allowed to talk nonsense here." ”

"Whatever the emperor asks, the grass people will answer, where is the nonsense?" Helian glanced at him: "This father-in-law's liver fire is too vigorous, fifty taels of silver, how about the grass people to lower the fire for you to protect the liver?" ”

"You're your father-in-law!" Yin Li yelled at him angrily: "What kind of place do you think this is, let you make a mistake." ”

"Poof." Bingling didn't hold back her laughter, and deliberately glanced at Yin Li with a pitying look before she stepped forward to ask the emperor for grace: "Your Majesty, the slave begs you to reward Helian Divine Doctor and ask him to quickly save Niangniang." Niangniang was in a coma, and the palace kept leaving messages, and she even wronged Niangniang for planning for herself, which really made the slave and maid's heart tremble. ”

As soon as Zhuang Chenchen heard this, she knew that it was Yin Li who said something to her. "I naturally want the queen to be safe."

When the words fell, he and Helian looked at each other: "If I want the queen to wake up now!" ”

"It's not impossible." Helian said confidently: "Then the emperor has to give the grass people a half-official position, so that the grass people can stay in the palace to serve you." ”

"You deserve it too." Yin Li took a step forward, and pulled out the sword in his hand, and the sword was across his neck: "As the emperor's people, you dare to ask for an official position for the queen, what do you think the palace is." ”

Qingli came in from the outside, and pushed Yin Li's elbow neatly, giving him a circle on his wrist. The blade is completely encased in the scabbard. "Show the blade in front of the master, Yin Li, don't break the rules yourself."

Helian smiled disapprenously: "The emperor treats the grass people very well, but the grass people also have to eat and dress, so they can't go hungry to treat the queen's mother." This official and half-position is just a matter of one sentence for the emperor. The grass people can stay in the palace with peace of mind and do their best for the emperor and queen for a lifetime. Counting it up, the emperor did not suffer a loss. ”

"Okay." Zhuang Xianchen likes people who are courageous, and dares to ask for an official position in front of him, Helian is the first. "But the queen has to wake up first. If you can't, I want you to never speak. ”

"That'...... Does the emperor want to poison the dumb grass people, or sew up the grass people's mouths? Helian said thoughtfully: "The former is barely okay, and the latter can't even eat." ”

"Take your head off, and you'll never be able to speak." Yin Li's eyes showed murderous intent.

"That's fine." Helian snapped his fingers with a smile: "No matter what it is, the emperor doesn't have this chance." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Bingling unexpectedly noticed that Miss's fingers were moving. "Your Majesty, Miss seems to have really woken up."

"The grass people went to decoct the medicine, and by the way, they waited for the emperor's decree." Helian saluted and retreated, his unruly appearance was really a headache.

"Mu Ning, are you awake?" Zhuang Chenchen's heart is only her at this time, and she can't take care of anything else.

Cen Muning heard his familiar voice, tried hard to open his eyes, and when he found him sitting beside him, he felt a warm feeling in his heart.

She woke up, awakened by such a gentle voice.
