As expected, on the second day, the news came that the Four Princes' Mansion had sent a list to seek medical treatment. The imperial doctors in the palace went one by one, but they were all useless. At this moment, Gong Mushen was also sitting calmly in the living room, drinking tea.

After Li Ze finished telling the matter of the Four Princes' Mansion, he silently waited for his next order. But looking at his master's unusually cold reaction, he was a little confused and asked, "Master, did the palace ask you to do it?" ”

The master of his family has always been resolute in his work, and he usually disdains to play tricks behind the intrigues. But before, he actually calculated Ren Yueying and tricked her into giving Puyang Haokun poison, which had already refreshed Li Ze's perception of Gong Mushen.

"Of course you have to do it." Anyway, it was because of the queen's help that Puyang Haokun had the opportunity to take advantage of it, and when he came back, he was carelessly injured, if it wasn't for Chen Xiyuan's presence, he might really die as they wished.

As the saying goes, a beast is a beast after all, no matter how good it is to him. Gong Mushen didn't want to break the net with them, but because of their actions, he indirectly lost Chen Xiyuan, and he couldn't swallow this breath in his heart.

If his guess was right, Chen Xiyuan should have used some method to exchange his life to detoxify him. And this stupid girl didn't want him to worry, so she chose to leave secretly without saying goodbye.

But it was precisely because of this that he felt even more sorry for Chen Xiyuan. How sad would she have been without him in her last days? He swore to himself that he would not let Chen Xiyuan be wronged. But now, has he broken his promise?

Since this is the case, then he wants this group of people to accompany Chen Xiyuan to the funeral. Anyway, Chen Xiyuan was the only one he cared about from beginning to end, and the lives of others had nothing to do with him. Thinking of this, Gong Mushen stood up and said coldly to Li Ze: "Go, enter the palace." ”

When she arrived at the palace, the queen was already under the control of her secret guards. He stood in front of the vermilion palace gate, hesitating to enter, but was pulled back to his senses by the queen's indifferent sarcasm: "Heh, isn't this the regent of a courtier?" ”

In other words, his current actions are rebellious. Gong Mu Shen smiled indifferently and stepped in. The house was full of sham, and it seemed that the queen had lost her temper before he came.

"So what? Dynasties will change, and only the strong can live, this is the last word. Gong Mu Shen sat straight to the top position, the decorations on the table had been swept away, Gong Mu Shen put his elbow on it in disgust, and then supported his head leisurely.

The queen was very angry by his words, and looked back at him angrily: "Gong Mu Shen, what do you want?" Isn't Hongu good enough for you? Doesn't the emperor use you enough? ”

As if hearing something funny, Gong Mu sneered noncommittally. The queen looked at him puzzled, not understanding why he could still laugh at this time. Glancing at the hour outside, it was too early, and he didn't bother to talk nonsense with her too much, so he got up and walked up to her, and asked in a cold voice, "What about the emperor?" ”

The queen looked away angrily and did not answer his question. Li Ze, who was on the side, also understood at this moment, stepped forward and said respectfully: "Lord Wang, my subordinates have led people to turn the entire palace upside down, and no trace of the emperor has been found. ”

Gong Mu Shen found it interesting, he groped his chin, and after a long time, he raised his head and looked at the queen coldly: "Since this is the case, then pass on the decree, the emperor will die, and the crown prince will succeed to the throne immediately." ”

After listening to Gong Mushen's words, the queen was a little incomprehensible, how could he think so arbitrarily that the emperor had died? She originally thought that Gong Mushen would do it sooner or later, but she wouldn't do it so absolutely, it seemed that she was too naïve.

Li Ze had already turned around and left, and began to carry out the task assigned by Gong Mu Shen. The queen wanted to hold Li Ze, but she didn't have it after all. She didn't want Gong Mushen to see her begging for others, especially when she was at her most down.

Anyway, he didn't find the person he wanted to find, and Gong Mushen didn't have the heart to continue to stay. He glanced deeply at the queen, and there was a strong hatred in his eyes in addition to coldness. He came today to ask the emperor to die, and in the end, he only had one death, and he was just adding fuel to the fire, which is understandable.

Frightened by his terrible eyes, she took a few steps back, and the queen trembled, and held back for a long time without saying a word. She knew that Gong Mushen didn't like them, but she didn't know that he hated them so much.

However, Fang Cai Gong Mu Shen ordered the crown prince to succeed to the throne, after all, he was the emperor's son, and it was impossible for him to be at the mercy of others like this, so she still had a chance to fight. Thinking of this, the queen looked sideways at Gong Mushen's back, and was secretly ruthless in her heart, let's see, who will have the last laugh is not necessarily.

Back at the Regent's Mansion, Puyang Haoyue had been waiting for a long time. Gong Mushen didn't want to deal with him, but he rushed up to block Gong Mushen's way, looked into his eyes and asked him: "What does it mean that my father died?" I saw him yesterday, and his body is so good. ”

Gong Mushen finally had the urge to look at him, but he raised his eyelids and swept his expression slightly, then lowered his head again, looking at the road he was going to take: "If you insist on stopping me, you will be next." ”

Frightened by his sudden indifference and unreasonableness, Puyang Haoyue used his body to resist his tendency to leave, and after seeing the dissatisfaction in his eyes, he roared with a sarcastic smile: "Okay, I'm here to see what I can do without my regent to seek power and usurp the throne openly." ”

His words did make sense, but Gong Mushen didn't care anymore. Anyway, if you can't find Chen Xiyuan, they are just her funeral goods. He pushed the prince away and continued to go his own way.

As soon as he arrived at the study, a secret guard came to report, saying that there was still no whereabouts of Chen Xiyuan, and she was very likely to have disappeared. Gong Mu lost his temper in anger, and threw things in the study all over the place, until the good study became messy, and he still didn't feel like it was enjoyable.

An old lady stood tremblingly outside and didn't dare to come in, Gong Mushen saw him by chance when he raised his eyes, sorted out his mood a little, and raised his hand to signal that he could come in. The old lady doctor walked up to Gong Mu Shen conscientiously, and said hesitantly: "Lord Wang, when I asked for your pulse yesterday, the old minister found a vision. At that time, I was not sure, but after I went back, I checked the medical books, and then I dared to come to tell you. ”

"Say." Gong Mu's eyebrows and heart were beating, and he had a faint bad feeling.

"The old minister suspects that Miss Chen is using Gu to cure the poison for the prince." As soon as the words fell, Gong Mushen felt that his heart was like a knife, and it hurt all the time, that stupid girl was really stupid.

It seems that everything in the capital is so quiet.

In fact, there was a storm in secret, and on that day, Gong Mushen left, insisting on not letting anyone follow, but there was no news again, and he completely lost contact, as if he had disappeared out of thin air.

There was no wave on the surface of the Regent Palace, and Li Ze secretly devoted almost all the strength of the Regent Palace to find the whereabouts of Gong Mushen, but there was no clue at all, and he could only support the Nuoda Palace alone.

Although all Li Ze's actions were as concealed as possible, such a big move by the people who dispatched the entire palace was still noticed by some well-intentioned people, not to mention, some people had been staring at Gong Mu Shen tightly, he had disappeared for so many days, how could they not know?

For example, Puyang Haokun, for him, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to suppress Gong Mushen, and it should not be missed.

On this day, Puyang Haokun personally visited Shangshu Mansion.

"Lu Shangshu, I'm bothered." Puyang Haokun Shi Ran made a salute, he was a prince, according to the etiquette, he should never give Lu Shangshu a salute, this courtesy made Lu Shangshu flattered and at the same time very useful.

Lu Shangshu hurriedly helped Puyang Haokun up, and said again and again: "The four princes really tortured the old minister, how can the old minister afford the gift of the four princes." ”

Old horseman, can't you bear it?

Puyang Haokun was slandered in his heart, but his face was smiling kindly, and he walked to the top with Lu Shangshu to sit down, drinking tea and talking.

In the past few days, it has been rumored in Beijing that the four princes and the daughter of Shangshu Mansion are afraid that good things are coming, and it seems that the four princes and Lu Shangshu have been getting close recently, but everything is just a rumor, and only the parties know what the two have talked about.

picked a sunny day, the queen directly asked the eunuchs in her palace to wait outside the hall, and the court announced Puyang Haokun to Kunning Palace, and the queen said that the queen had not seen the four princes for many days, and she missed it very much.

Puyang Haokun came to the queen's palace, and made a salute in a proper manner, and the queen drove everyone out, took out a delicate box and handed it to Puyang, signaling him to open it.

Looking at the mysterious appearance of the queen, Pu Yang opened the box and saw a black pill, he was not Chen Xiyuan, he didn't understand medical science, so he naturally didn't know what this pill did, so he had to look at the queen with doubts.

The queen's eyes became a little deep, and there was a hint of ruthlessness, but it was fleeting, and no one caught it, she lightly opened her lips and said: "This is the magic medicine that the queen mother asked her to find outside the plug, which can cure all kinds of poisons, after you go back to the house to take it, and then use the exercise to breathe for half an hour, you can force the poison in the body out." ”

Taking the pill and looking at it, Puyang Haokun was a little surprised, he had heard of many strange treasures outside the Saiwai for a long time, but he had never thought that there was such a thing, but presumably if he was replaced by Chen Xiyuan, it could also be made, that girl was always unexpected.

"Emperor, how did you handle Lu Shangshu's side?" The queen turned around and sat on the golden chair at the top, and asked slowly, even if it was only the two of them, the queen's bearing on her body was not diminished at all.

is obviously a mother and son, but it looks more like a partner, the family of the emperor since ancient times, and the family affection is cold.
