Chapter 243: Latent
Qiao Jiming's eyes looked at Mo Yunting in disbelief, as if he was asking about his attitude, Mo Yunting was noncommittal, looking back at him silently, with a faint majesty around him.
This is considered a default, right?
"Jiming, are you okay?" Qiao Guogong handed his wife to the maid on the side, and hurriedly ran to Qiao Jiming's side to check it carefully.
Qiao Jiming endured the blood gushing out of his chest and shook his head gently, Qiao Guogong breathed a sigh of relief, and then changed to a sad face.
"Where is the reason of heaven? Even the Son of Heaven will cover justice, I... Not alive!" he said as he ran towards the river on the side.
Xu Lianyi was stunned for a moment, and saw that Qiao Guogong was trapped by his own entourage, and he was still struggling to rush forward.
"Father think twice!" Qiao Jiming shouted anxiously, and finally couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, and the scene was a little flustered.
Xu Lianyi walked to the protection of the guards with Ouyang Jing in her arms, and she saw Doctor Zhao who wanted to take advantage of the chaos in her spare eye, and doubts arose.
Dr. Zhao wanted to mix in the crowd and leave, but was suddenly stopped by some people and walked in front of Xu Lianyi.
"The grass people see the queen mother. Doctor Zhao trembled and bowed to Xu Lianyi, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Xu Lianyi was silent, staring at Dr. Zhao scrutinically, as if he wanted to see through him, Dr. Zhao maintained a saluting posture and remained motionless, his heart was very worried, and the gaze on his head was like substance, shooting himself back and forth.
Seeing that the farce gradually subsided, Mo Yunting and Xu Lianyi glanced at each other, and the tacit understanding between the two people flowed between the eyes.
Xu Lianyi gave a command backwards, and then pulled Ouyang Jing to stand in front of Doctor Zhao.
"Everyone, don't be impatient, I've already sent someone to call the imperial doctor, and it will be clear later. ”
Doctor Zhao chuckled in his heart, sweat ran down his face, his eyes dodged, and he fidgeted.
Imperial Physician Liu quickly rushed over, and respectfully bowed to Mo Yunting and Xu Lianyi, "Weichen see the emperor, the queen's mother." ”
"Excuse me, does Imperial Physician Liu know what the queen called you for?" Mo Yunting asked quietly.
Imperial Physician Liu nodded and walked in front of Dr. Zhao, who looked up and caught a glimpse of an identity tag hanging from his waist, and his pupils shrank.
"Queen Mother, this Dr. Zhao is a doctor, but the object of his treatment is not people, but livestock. Doctor Liu made a categorical judgment.
Mo Yunting's face sank, and his eyes full of anger turned to Doctor Zhao, and the superior Wei Ya made him almost out of breath, "What do you have to say?"
Doctor Zhao's face was like earth, thinking about his wife and children who were held hostage, so he had to kneel in front of Mo Yunting and kept begging for mercy, "Asking the emperor to spare his life, it was the grass people who beat their swollen faces and became fat, and misdiagnosed the illness of Duchess Qiao Guo." ”
Xu Lianyi silently looked at Mrs. Zhao, who was crying bitterly, but her eyes looked at Qiao Guogong and the others, with obvious disappointment and unwillingness on their faces, she chuckled.
Qiao Guogong knew that he was at fault, so he could only take the allergic Duchess Qiao Guoting to apologize to Mo Yunting and leave in a hurry.
"Then Dr. Zhao was colluded by Ji Meiwei in advance. Xu Lianyi held Ouyang Jing's shoulders and said seriously, "She was unwilling, so she designed to harm you, she took the medicine before she came, in order to frame you, she was so cruel to herself, and she is also a powerful person." ”
Ouyang Jing was stunned at this time, and he lowered his eyes and thought for a long time.
At night, Mrs. Qiao Guo's allergies had spread all over her body, and her consciousness fell into a coma, so Qiao Guogong hurriedly called someone to call the imperial doctor.
"Imperial Physician Zhang, my wife will please you!" Qiao Guogong's eyes were full of pleading, looking at the back of the imperial physician entering the room, his eyes were obscure.
In the middle of the night, the maid opened the door tremblingly, and Imperial Doctor Zhang walked out with a look of regret on his face, and took the lead in sighing.
Qiao Guogong felt a little bad, and had some guesses in his heart, but there was still some hope, "Imperial Doctor Zhang, my wife, she..."
Imperial Physician Zhang shook his head, and his tone was very low, "Let's prepare for the aftermath for her, the poison has invaded the internal organs, and there is no cure for the medicine stone." ”
Qiao Guogong took a half step back, his face full of disbelief, after all, the poison was eaten by the Duchess herself, but she didn't expect that it would cost her life now.
Imperial Physician Zhang looked at Qiao Guogong's painful expression, sighed, turned around and left Qiao Guogong's mansion, and hurriedly entered the palace.
The next day, the door of Qiao's mansion was replaced with a big white lantern, white silk was hung everywhere, a mourning hall was set up in the hall, and the descendants of the Qiao family received letterheads and rushed to the capital to pay tribute to filial piety.
Qiao Guogong was wearing an official uniform, and his white linen clothes were exposed in a grand manner, his expression was sad, and after retiring from the early dynasty, he went straight to the study of Moyun Pavilion to ask for a meeting.
"Xuan. Mo Yunting lowered his head and corrected the recital, and responded without raising his head.
Qiao Guogong bowed his head and bowed respectfully, then stood up without saying a word, his eyes were on the floor, Mo Yunting waited for a while, found that there was no sound, and looked up suspiciously.
"What is the matter with Qiao Guogong coming to see me?" Mo Yunting put the pen in his hand aside, and there was a faint suspicion in his eyes.
Qiao Guogong was silent for a long time, and suddenly said firmly, "Please take back the water transportation errand that Weichen is in charge of." ”
Mo Yunting's heart was bright, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and he raised his eyebrows, "Why did Aiqing say this?"
Seeing this, Qiao Guogong felt a little proud in his heart, he expected that Mo Yunting would not find anyone familiar with water transportation for a while, so he took the initiative to resign by retreating.
"The emperor also heard that the minister's wife died of allergies last night, and the minister's heart was like ashes, and he didn't have the heart to think about the matter of water transportation, and he hoped that the emperor would forgive me. ”
Mo Yunting pondered for a long time, his face seemed to be very entangled, Qiao Guogong was in a happy mood, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
"Well, from now on you can recuperate at home and don't have to worry about water transportation. It seems that he made a decision after thinking about it for a long time, and Mo Yunting's expression is not very good-looking.
Qiao Guogong's expression changed suddenly, and he looked at Mo Yunting in disbelief, as if he didn't expect him to agree to his resignation, until he was taken out of the imperial study by his father-in-law, and the whole person was in a fog.
After listening to the report of the palace maid in front of him, Qiao Jingyuan suddenly couldn't sit still, stood up and paced in the hall.
"Did the emperor really agree to Qiao Guogong's resignation?" Qiao Jingyuan reconfirmed unwillingly, seeing the palace maid nodding, the furrow between her eyebrows deepened.
Hong'er saw Qiao Jingyuan walking around anxiously, her eyes were a little clear, and she stood behind obediently without saying a word.
Qiao Jingyuan still couldn't hold back his anxious heart, paused his steps, and muttered, "You can't sit here and wait for death, you have to go to Weiyang Palace to test your style." ”
After making up his mind, Qiao Jingyuan dressed up well, gave Hong'er an order, and Lianbu moved out of the palace lightly.
Walking on the flowery road, Qiao Jingyuan had a heavy mind and had no intention of enjoying the scenery on the side of the road, Hong'er caught a glimpse of a figure not far away, lowered her eyes and did not make a sound reminder.
"Where are you going to go in such a hurry?" A clear voice sounded in front of him, Qiao Jingyuan looked up blankly, his pupils shrank, and then became normal.
Mu Lanji was dressed in red, her phoenix eyes revealed a bit of wisdom, she looked at Qiao Jingyuan contemptuously, but there was a smile on her face.
Qiao Jingyuan also smiled, "It turned out to be Her Royal Highness the Princess, and the concubine was going to Weiyang Palace to visit the emperor." The tone is soft and the demeanor is generous.
Mu Lanji saw her eyes spinning around, her heart was transparent, and her body moved in front of Qiao Jingyuan's path.
Qiao Jingyuan raised her head in surprise, her eyes did not have a trace of warmth, "Your Highness is..."
"I just want to remind some restless people, don't disturb the peace of the harem because of some unnecessary things, Yunting He doesn't like anything about the harem restlessly. The tone was full of threat.
Qiao Jingyuan looked at the coldness in Mu Lanji's eyes, and was shocked, feeling that all his careful thoughts had been seen through, and his whole body was cold.
After finishing speaking, Mu Lanyuan looked at Qiao Jingyuan's shocked expression with satisfaction, and Shi Shiran passed by her.
Looking at Mu Lan's back as she drifted away, Qiao Jingyuan couldn't support it anymore, her legs weakened, she leaned on Hong'er's body, and turned back to the palace.
"You mean Qiao Jingyuan, she said she was sick and no longer saw guests?" Mo Yunting curiously asked the father-in-law beside him, and after receiving an affirmative answer, he smiled silently.
Xu Lianyi's recent joy reaction is not so serious, and her stomach is beginning to show her pregnancy, and she can walk back and forth in the palace in loose clothes.
Mo Yunting changed into convenient clothes and hurried to see her, and as soon as she entered the door, she heard Xu Lianyi losing her temper with the palace maid next to her.
"What's the matter? Don't be angry, it's not good for the fetus. ”
Xu Lianyi heard his voice, and then calmed down a little, as if she realized that she was unreasonable, and she felt a deep guilt in her heart, "I'm sorry, I... Can't control your emotions. ”
After Mo Yunting sent away the scolded maid, he gently hugged Xu Lianyi into his arms, and patted her big hand gently on her back to soothe her emotions.
Xu Lianyi gradually stabilized at this time, and her hand subconsciously stroked her stomach, Mo Yunting looked directly at her, "Your belly has been in this for four months, and it's not good to always hold it in the palace, why don't we go to Taoyuan for a walk?"
This proposal obviously won Xu Lianyi's favor, and Mo Yunting immediately ordered the convoy to go down and prepare to go.
Mao Ming dodged the officers and soldiers who kept chasing behind him, and hid in the house on the side in a flash, looking at the officers and soldiers who left in a hurry in front of him, he breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look, there were some guards' clothes, footsteps sounded outside the door, he hurriedly changed into guard clothes and covered his face.
"You're new here, why are you back here, hurry up. The leader yelled sharply and hurried away.
Mao Ming straightened his clothes, quickly ran out and mixed in the small house, holding a spear in his hand, his eyes quickly looked at the surrounding environment, and walked forward with the convoy.
