Chapter 146: Elder Feng's Intentions
Mo Jinghuan looked at Chu Shan'er, and both of them knew that "protect yourself" was for others and for themselves.
After all, in the eyes of the people of Lixiu Palace, Concubine Li is now a madman who doesn't recognize her six relatives, even Mo Jinghuan should be careful to avoid being injured.
As for Mo Jinghuan, they must be careful, so as not to be discovered.
Mo Jinghuan walked to the side of Li Guifei's bed, and Li Guifei, who had taken the "medicine", seemed much quieter, but her eyes were blank and empty.
This is the "medicinal effect" that Feng Lao told her in advance.
"Mother, look at Erchen, Erchen is Jing'er, do you still recognize it?" Mo Jinghuan gently took Concubine Li's hand and spoke softly.
Concubine Li's eyes moved slightly, but she still forcibly resisted the urge to turn her head in response.
In his ears, Mo Jinghuan told about his childhood, and those things had passed for a long time, so long that Concubine Li thought that Mo Jinghuan had forgotten.
It's just that he only said when he was a child.
The corners of Concubine Li's eyes were slightly moist, if it hadn't happened to that incident, the relationship between their mother and son would have been very good, and it wouldn't be like now, just a mother and son in front of people.
The outside world thought that Mo Jinghuan was fighting on the battlefield to find a way out for himself and Concubine Li, but what they didn't know was that this was just an excuse for him to avoid his mother.
"Lord Wang, this kind of thing can't be rushed, and it still has to be gradual to have an effect." Feng Lao, an outsider, was moved, he was afraid that if he continued to talk about it, what should he do if the concubine couldn't help it?
"I know you're worried about your mother and feel sorry for her, but you have to take your time in this kind of thing, and you can't do it quickly, every day...... Or as long as you enter the palace, come to the palace of the concubine to accompany her, I believe she will be fine. Chu Shan'er also persuaded on the side.
Mo Jinghuan listened to their words and reluctantly left from Concubine Li.
"This king still has something to do, and the mother concubine will work hard for you to take care of it." Mo Jinghuan said to Chu Shan'er with red eyes.
"Don't worry, I will." Chu Shan'er nodded firmly, at this moment, she even felt that Concubine Li was really crazy! Mo Jinghuan is also really distressed!
After Mo Jinghuan left Lixiu Palace, several figures also quietly left here.
"Your Majesty, the concubine seems to be really crazy." Listening to the reports of his subordinates, Gonggong Ma beside the emperor spoke cautiously, "What Prince An said to Niangniang, even the slaves were moved, if Niangniang is not crazy, she should be moved!" ”
"Indeed." The emperor said lightly: "If it weren't really crazy, Jing'er wouldn't have said those words to her." ”
"Your Majesty, since Niangniang is crazy, then Lixiu Palace ......" Ma Gonggong asked in a low voice: "Do you want to ......?"
"I'm not the kind of ruthless and unrighteous person, even if Concubine Li is crazy, she is still my concubine." The emperor said lightly: "It's just that since I'm crazy, I'll spread my will and stay in Lixiu Palace to treat my illness." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, the slave will go to deliver the decree." Ma Gonggong made a salute and was about to go out, but was stopped by the emperor again.
"There's no hurry." The emperor looked at Ma Gong and said, "Haven't you found out who poisoned Concubine Li?" ”
"Not yet." Ma Gong said fairly: "The skin locked by the Shen Criminal Division is about to take off a layer, but it still hasn't loosened, and the other clues are broken." ”
"Useless waste!" The emperor's eyes sank, and he slapped the imperial case violently, "Go and tell Wu Chenglin, I will give him another ten days, if he can't find anything again, let him pack up his baggage and get out!" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Ma Gonggong said with concern: "Your Majesty, don't be angry about this, the dragon body is important." ”
"Those snakes first came out of the palace and disturbed the entire palace banquet, and someone poisoned and assassinated Concubine Li, how could I not be angry!" The emperor said with a gloomy expression: "It's been four or five days, and the Criminal Investigation Department can't find out anything, it's just a waste!" ”
"The emperor is angry, since the people behind this dare to make trouble in the palace, they have made all the preparations, and it will take some time for Lord Wu to investigate." Gonggong Ma glanced at the emperor's face and handed over a cup of tea.
"Your Majesty, you drink a cup of tea first to dissipate your anger." Ma Gonggong said fairly: "Otherwise, when Elder Feng comes to ask for peace and wants to be safe, he should say that the servants are not good to wait." ”
"Old Feng has a heart, I let him watch Concubine Li's illness specifically, and he doesn't forget to come over every day to ask for a pulse." When the emperor talked about Feng Lao, his tone softened a little, he took a sip of the tea in the cup, his eyes narrowed slightly, "What kind of tea is this?" ”
"This is the calm tea that Feng Lao gave yesterday, with chrysanthemums and cassia seeds and the like." Ma Gonggong said: "He specially instructed the servants to make a cup for the emperor every day." ”
"Hmm." The emperor picked up the teacup and took another sip, "I remember that he seems to have a nephew who works on an errand in the criminal department?" ”
"I haven't heard Elder Feng mention this, and the slave doesn't know." Ma Gonggong said suspiciously: "Why don't you go and check it first?" ”
"No need." The emperor glared at Gonggong Ma, "Since the Criminal Division is useless, then this matter will be handled by the Criminal Department, and let Wu Chenglin cooperate with me." ”
Ma Gonggong was stunned for a moment, why did this topic suddenly turn back, but he also responded, "Yes, the slave will go to pass the decree." ”
"Come back!"
Ma Gonggong's footsteps that had just stepped out were called back.
"Your Majesty?"
"The position of the secretary of the Criminal Department is temporarily vacant, so let the waiter Feng Qiantian temporarily take charge of the case of Concubine Li." The emperor made a decree in a deep voice.
"Yes, Your Majesty." After Ma Gonggong answered this, he stood in place.
"What are you still doing? Spread the word to go! "The emperor glanced at Father-in-law Ma, it's really been an errand for a long time, and he can't even see it!
The emperor was in charge of the Criminal Department, and the matter of Concubine Li's case soon spread
"Master, the Criminal Department has already started to take over this case, do we want to withdraw first?" The guard asked in a low voice as he knelt on the ground.
If Chu Shan'er was here at the moment, she would definitely be able to recognize that this person was the one who coaxed her out of Lixiu Palace that day.
"Not for now." The person who was lazily lying on the concubine's collapse said lightly: "Let the person in the Shen Criminal Division lead the dirty water to Funing Palace, and it should be regarded as the palace's 'repayment' of the queen's mother." ”
"Yes, master." The guard looked up at Xu Guiren, "Master, do you need to hide the matter of the grove?" ”
"Is it clear what happened there?" Xu Guiren glanced at the kneeling guard, who was so shocked that he immediately lowered his head.
"It's coming."
"Then hurry up, if you can do it in time, you will deal with it together, and it will be regarded as a great gift from the palace to the middle palace." The corners of Xu Guiren's mouth hooked coldly, "Stand down!" Don't let anyone see it. ”
"Yes, the subordinates are retired!"
After the guards retreated, Xu Guiren got up and walked slowly to the window, outside the half-open window, there was the golden light of the sun, reflecting the dream-like delicacy of the Youlan Palace, which was very beautiful.
But there was no light in the eyes of the nobles.
"Someone." Xu Guiren said lightly outside, and the palace maid who was guarding the courtyard stepped forward.
"What does the little lord command?" The palace maid asked cautiously.
"Princess An has something left behind, and the palace will send it to her." Xu Guiren said lightly: "Let people prepare a sedan chair." ”
