Chapter 43: Overnight

"The emperor is blessed with Jin'an."

Lin Qi approached, curtsied, curtsied, she kept her head down, but felt that the strong smell of herbs in the room had increased the heat of the whole room a little.

Lin Qi grew up in a pile of herbs since he was a child, and many of them are extremely sensitive to herbs. These drugs are not lethal, and the effect of the drug is slower in the form of transpiration, which will make people feel better in the short term, but once the time is up, the whole person will enter a dormant period, and the body functions will be rebuilt and repaired.

This kind of recipe is beneficial to young people, but it is extremely harmful to people who are over half a hundred years old like Emperor Sheng Zhi.

"Get up." Emperor Sheng Zhi lay on the brocade couch and only shook his hand gently, "Come on, give a seat." ”

Lin Qi didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, so he thanked him obediently, took out the silver needles from the medicine box, and placed them one by one, "Your Majesty, then let's start." ”

"Don't you ask, why are you so anxious today, summoning you into the palace on Chinese New Year's Eve?" Through the curtain, Emperor Sheng Zhi's eyes were calm, and he didn't seem to want to go around in circles with her, and he was straight to the point.

Lin Qi took out a silver needle, but when he glanced at it, he suddenly noticed that there was half an orchid flower in the medicine pile on the side, and his heart was suddenly shocked, and even the silver needle in his hand trembled.

"The emperor is naturally because he is unwell, you are the king of a country, your body is skinny to the people, not to mention Chinese New Year's Eve, even if the courtier's daughter is newly married, she should come, this is the duty of a healer."

"What a healer."

Emperor Sheng Zhi laughed heartily and swaggered out from behind the curtain, this look, there was no problem with his body at all, and his spirit was surprisingly good.

Immediately stretched out his hand and waved it to the back, and a golden curtain immediately rose in the center of the main hall, blocking the position at the entrance of the hall and the middle of the back of the hall, and instantly isolated all the sound sources inside the hall from the outside of the hall.

Rao is a person like Lin Qi who has experienced various secret techniques in modern times, and he can't help but be surprised, such a curtain looks like nothing, but those who really understand know that "out of thin air, the four dimensions are broken", it is not so easy to build, not to mention, this is still in ancient times when there was no power supply and sound source detector.

Lin Qi was amazed in his heart by the essence of the curtain construction, and secretly calculated Emperor Sheng Zhi's intentions and actions, but he still looked calm and calm on his face, and he didn't care about Emperor Sheng Zhi's impression of her.

"I heard about the Yun family's flower theft case, and you once pointed out that the white bell flower is fake in front of Xu Liangjie?"

The sudden words instantly pulled Lin Qi back to reality, "Back to the emperor, it's true." ”

Emperor Sheng Zhi came to her, looked at her fixedly, and continued, "Then do you know why Dali Temple decided that the case was decided to be that the white bell flower appeared, and the flower thief reappeared to commit the crime?" ”

Lin Qi reacted suddenly, "Could it be that the emperor ......?"

Such an impact made Lin Qi unable to think for a while, but soon, Lin Qi recovered his expression, "Does the emperor want to use the Yun family to lead out the real murderer?" ”

"Not really." Emperor Sheng Zhi sat down slowly, poured out a cup of tea from the teapot, poured it very full, his hands trembled slightly, and the tea began to overflow, "The real flower thief died thirteen years ago, how can a dead person be resurrected?" You say, is it easier to come back from the dead, or is it easier to replace it? ”

As he spoke, he sipped the tea, but Lin Qi sensed the illness from his subtle movements.

Emperor Sheng Zhi's meaning is very clear, if the real flower thief died a long time ago, then the person who came out to commit the crime now must not be the flower thief back then, or someone deliberately used the name of the flower thief to take the Yun family's property as his own.

From this point of view, there is no doubt that Xu Liang is the person of Emperor Shengzhi, but what does this have to do with her?

"So, the emperor summoned me here late at night, hoping that I would stop meddling in this case and bring out the real murderer?"

"No, it's a melon." Emperor Sheng Zhi chuckled lightly and looked up at her.

"This matter involves the affairs of the imperial court, and it is also involved in an old case thirteen years ago, even if it is me, it is not good to come forward to try this matter in person, you are an outsider, they will not suspect you with suspicions, this is one thing. I heard that the old man of the Yun family treats you with the grace of knowledge, and it is only appropriate for you to come forward to be honest for him, this is the second. And thirdly, you have been exposed in the Yun family, no matter how you take care of this matter, you can't escape, because you are the only outsider who knows that the flower left in Old Man Yun's coffin is not Bai Ling but Lan Ling. ”

Emperor Sheng Zhi's words shocked Lin Ji, although since ancient times, kings have been calculating, and for the sake of imperial power, even their lives can be taken out, but Emperor Sheng Zhi, a person who has only seen two sides, can actually put people in such a way that he can put people into the matter, I have to say that Lin Ji thinks that he can't fight him.

"How can the emperor be sure that the courtiers will definitely agree?"

Lin Qi didn't like this feeling of being calculated from head to toe very much, and he didn't like it very much, even if that person was a high monarch!

"Because...... The healer is benevolent. ”

As a healer, it is impossible for her to see death without saving her, it is impossible for her to watch so many people being killed and exterminated by the whole government, and sit idly by, it is impossible to watch thieves run rampant, she knows the truth but turns a deaf ear, and it is impossible for her to leave behind those who are kind to her.

At this point, Emperor Sheng Zhi counted it again.

"You are very similar to your mother, even the tone of voice and movement when you speak, you are almost exactly the same."

Emperor Sheng Zhi looked at her, her thin and weak body, snow-white cheeks, a pair of peach blossom eyes were beautiful and moving, and the cinnabar in the center of her eyebrows was like a Bodhisattva who saved the world, setting off a bit of fairy energy in the whole person.

"The emperor praised it falsely, and the courtiers are only shallow in learning, far less than their mothers." Speaking of her mother, Lin Qi's mind was blank, she herself had no memory of her mother, but neither did the original owner, Lin Qi would inadvertently overlap the words mother and mother, they were like the same person in her heart.

"In this matter, the courtiers should go, but the courtiers also have a matter, and they want to ask the emperor, but I don't know whether to talk about it or not."

"Say it."

"Since the emperor knows that this case is widely implicated, why is he still persistent in investigating? You are not afraid that the person who finds out is your closest relatives and confidants, and at that time, will the emperor try it impartially? ”

Lin Qi's question can be said to have asked the key point, it is okay to ask her to help investigate the case, and it is okay to help conceal the truth, but if it is found out that the person behind it is the emperor's own family, then how should this result be calculated?

Don't find out the truth when the time comes, the emperor himself is unwilling to deal with it, and then kill people......

Hearing this, Emperor Sheng Zhi's face sank, and he half-squinted a pair of black eyes, which were full of calculations.

Just when Lin Qi gradually annihilated his hope, thinking that the so-called Ming Jun was nothing more than that, Emperor Sheng Zhi suddenly laughed heartily, "Luo Ting'an gave birth to a good daughter, dare to ask me to deal with it impartially in front of me, okay, I will promise you, no matter what the result is, I will not show favoritism." ”

"No one?"

"Hahaha...... No one can. ”

After saying that, Lin Qi knelt down with satisfaction and thanked him.

"Tomorrow, in the Zhang Mansion on West Street, I will arrange for Xu Liang to respond on time, can you be sure?"

Lin Qi was holding a silver needle in his hand, and he was about to put a needle on Emperor Shengzhi's head, when he suddenly heard this, he was startled for a moment, "Could it be that the emperor has ...... you?"

Emperor Sheng Zhi only hummed faintly and continued to close his eyes.

"Since the emperor has found out, the courtiers will do it." In this way, Emperor Sheng Zhi did not come to the door suddenly, but there was already a result, but he just needed someone to supplement the experience.

Therefore, what she should be worried about now should not be what the result is, but how to help Emperor Sheng Zhi create a process.

Lin Qi secretly thought, isn't the Zhang Mansion on West Street the mansion of Zhang Ji, the imperial historian......

Lin Qi finished the needle, returned to Luofu has been three watch days, just got off the carriage, and saw the ugly ugly sitting alone in front of the door of Luofu, supporting his head with both hands, his head tilted towards the road in the direction of the palace, and he was dozing.

At ten o'clock in the evening, there was goose feather snow outside, and Rao was Lin Qi sitting in the carriage holding the stove and felt that the cold was pressing, not to mention that the ugly and ugly were dressed in thin clothes, because he had to serve the ladies for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner today, and he didn't even put on a cloak.

Lin Qi stood in front of the door, her eyes were a little moist, but her heart was warm, she suddenly remembered a sentence in her heart, "Standing at dusk, warm porridge can be simmered, when returning from the cold night, one or two people in front of the door are in the extreme realm of the floating world." ”

If someone can treat you like one of them, then that person must be cherished.

Lin Qi wiped a handful of tears and walked over slowly, the ugly and ugly fell asleep, and woke up as soon as he heard the sound.

"Miss, you're back, Miss hasn't had dinner yet, Chou Chou used the stove to simmer some rice cakes for you, and it's in the house." Ugly smiled and took the medicine box in Lin Qi's hand, raised his face, and had a kind of look, you see that I have learned to be smart, waiting for praise.

Lin Qi held back the tears in his eyes and only nodded lightly.

As soon as the morning light shines, it is the first day of the New Year's Festival.

Because Lin Qi was suddenly announced into the palace last night, he didn't even eat the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together, which was extremely disrespectful to the elders during the New Year, so Lin Qi got up early in the morning, and as soon as he finished dressing up, he took the ugly ugly to the old lady's courtyard together, and made amends for his sin by asking for peace.

The old lady didn't blame, she just sent her away in a few words, in the eyes of the old lady, no matter how powerful Lin Qi became and how much she was appreciated by the emperor, she was still a little girl who died and no one favored her.

When Lin Qi came out, he happened to meet Luo Qingwan and Luo Fulan standing in the yard watching the fish, and these two, except for Luo Baisu's relationship, did not get along badly.

Luo Fei Lan has a mother to protect her, and they are all concubines, in line with the principle of sympathy, Luo Qingwan has no obvious target for Luo Fulan's sister.

"Third sister." As soon as Luo Fulan saw Lin Qi, she immediately greeted her with a smile.

Luo Qingwan's face immediately darkened, and she said sarcastically, "It's really a pheasant racing phoenix who climbs the branches, and he looks charming, and even the emperor is fascinated." But in the end, it is still a pheasant, and it has never become a phoenix, and if you want to enter the royal door, persuade some people, or die of this heart, don't enter the royal door at that time, but even the pheasant's tail will give people a fold. ”
