1142. Chapter 1142 Wu Rushed Into the Palace
Mo Rongzhan wanted Lu Xiangzhi and Mo Rongyi to work together to investigate the case back then. Because this case was special, he could not say it clearly in court, and he could not let too many people know. He only trusted Mr. Xu and Lu Shiming, so he planned to let them Helping each other secretly, turning a blind eye to certain aspects and letting the two boys investigate.
Mr. Xu was already surprised when he learned that this case was not recorded. It happened so fast that many court officials could not react. The Pan family and the Feng family were already dead. It was difficult to find out the truth. There was no way to investigate, not to mention that the late emperor had people suppress the matter, so not many people knew about it. Now that the emperor wants to re-investigate the case, it must be because of some clues found.
Of course he agreed.
Mr. Xu and Lu Shiming left Qianqing Palace, and Mo Rongzhan took the secret letter on the side and read it.
This is the letter sent back by Murong Ke. They have been in South Vietnam for several days. Murong Yi went to ask for money without being hindered. He soon got back 50 million taels, which can support the military camp for a long time. of food and grass.
In addition to this incident, there is also the serious tax evasion in South Vietnam, which reminds Morongzhan of the Pan family and the Feng family back then.
Are the businessmen in South Vietnam still not afraid of continuing to evade taxes after the case of the Pan family and the Feng family?
Mo Rongzhan wrote back and asked Mo Rongyi and Lu Xiangzhi to find out everything about South Vietnam and find out what was wrong there.
"Send the letter to South Vietnam as soon as possible." After Mo Rongzhan finished writing the letter, he handed it to Eunuch Chang next to him. He looked up and saw Eunuch Fu's expression outside the door was different, so he asked quietly, "What's going on outside?"
"Back to the emperor, it's the eunuch of Xiuhe Palace who has replied." Eunuch Fu replied from outside.
Mo Rongzhan thought of Concubine Shu who was poisoned yesterday and said lightly, "Concubine Shu is awake?"
"I woke up and wanted to be served by the original palace maid." Eunuch Fu said in a low voice.
"Have someone go back and tell her to have a good rest. I'll go see her tonight." Mo Rongzhan said. Before he found out who poisoned her, he would still let outsiders think that he dotes on Concubine Shu.
Eunuch Fu responded in a low voice.
Hu Yue'er in Xiuhe Palace heard that the emperor was coming to visit her, and she shuddered slightly. She used to expect the emperor to come to Xiuhe Palace every day, but now she didn't dare to have such thoughts in her heart. He was not at all because of I think she came here just to let her continue to be Lu Yaoyao's shield.
She didn't want to see him in her heart, but she couldn't say it out loud. If she dared to say that she didn't want to see the emperor, she might die even faster.
She couldn't let the emperor know that she had guessed the truth. She had to continue to play dumb and make the emperor think that she didn't know anything.
She lay on the soft couch for a long time, during which she even vomited blood due to stomach pain.
Miao Ling quickly invited Judge Gong over.
Judge Gong came over and checked her pulse. Without saying anything, he prescribed the medicine again. After Hu Yue'er took it, she became drowsy and vaguely heard who Judge Gong was talking to.
"... Concubine Shu has vomited out the last bit of poisonous blood. She will get better as long as she continues to recuperate, but she may not be able to have any more children in the future."
Heir? What difference does it make if she can have heirs in the palace now?
Hu Yue'er thought sarcastically and fell asleep unknowingly. She didn't even know that the emperor had come to Xiuhe Palace.
Murong Zhan just came to see Hu Yue'er. In addition to wanting everyone inside and outside the palace to know that he doted on Hu Yue'er, he also wanted to take the opportunity to catch the person who poisoned her.
The clues are so obvious, he should be able to find out soon.
"Your Majesty." Eunuch Fu came in from outside and looked at Mo Rongzhan with a troubled expression.
"What's the matter?" Mo Rongzhan asked calmly.
Eunuch Fu said, "Yes...it was Wu who rushed into the palace."
Murong Zhan's expression changed and he stood up immediately, "Is there something going on at Chengde Villa?"
"Back to the Emperor, Wu Chong is here to find Mr. Shen. It should be the Empress who asked him to come back to inquire..." The news of Concubine Shu's happiness was not suppressed at all. It had already spread throughout Kyoto. It was impossible for the Empress in the villa to be without her. heard.
"Let's go." Mo Rongzhan walked out of Xiuhe Palace without looking back.
When there was no sound in the dormitory, Hu Yue'er slowly opened her eyes and showed a sad smile.
Sure enough, the emperor was always nervous about anything related to Lu Yaoyao.
…
…
Wu Chong originally did not intend to alarm the emperor. He went to the secret guard and could not find Shen Yicai entering the palace. He wanted to find out more about it, so he quickly returned to Chengde Villa to tell the empress about the matter. Who knew that the emperor would find out about it, and now he is still there He was called to the imperial study room for questioning.
"Did the Queen ask you to come back?" Mo Rongzhan looked at Wu Chong with cold eyes, but his heart was inexplicably raised. Could it be that Yaoyao had a misunderstanding?
Doesn't she believe him?
Wu Chong said, "My subordinates originally hid the truth from the Queen. I was afraid that the Queen would overthink it, but... it was the Princess of Qi who came to the villa to reveal the truth."
Murong Zhanjun frowned, "Zhao Ning went to Chengde Villa? Who asked her to go?"
He didn't know anything about it! Mo Rongzhan looked at Shen Yi next to him.
Shen Yi was so startled that he broke into a sweat. He had been investigating the Gouyundiao Red Jade Pendant today and didn't care about Zhao Ning's situation at all.
"Back to the emperor, it was the envoy from Qi who sent Zhao Ning there. When my subordinates returned to Kyoto, Song Hongao also came back." Wu Chong said in a low voice.
Mo Rongzhan took a deep breath and asked, "How is the queen feeling?"
"The empress is in a good mood, but she is worried that something will happen in the palace." Wu Chong said.
It seems that Yaoyao has guessed the reason! Morong Zhan felt relaxed immediately, and he sighed softly, "You go back to the villa first and tell the queen that I will go to the villa in the next two days."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Wu Chong breathed a sigh of relief, now that he had an explanation to the Queen.
"Has Song Hongao entered the villa?" Mo Rongzhan asked calmly.
Wu Chong said, "The Queen summoned him, asked him a few words, and then let him go while leaving the princess behind."
Murong Zhan glanced sharply at Shen Yi, who immediately knelt down and said, "This subordinate was negligent. I beg the Emperor to punish me."
"Let Sun Jun keep an eye on it." Mo Rongzhan said coldly, "When all your things are done, go and receive twenty lashes yourself."
Shen Yi lowered his head and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Where is Zhao Zhongshen?" Mo Rongzhan asked.
"Back to the emperor, Zhao Zhongshen has been in Yiyin Pavilion today. I heard that he is obsessed with Liu Qiao'er, the oiran there." Shen Yi replied, he has never seen any prince in a brothel like this every day, and it is difficult for Marquis Jingning to do so. Accompany each other.
A faint smile appeared on Mo Rongzhan's thin lips. Prince Qi was really patient. If he didn't spread the news, would Zhao Zhongshen plan to spend every day in the brothel?
"Let the hunting ground be prepared, and we will take the envoys from Qi to hunt in the next two days." Murong Zhan said to Shen Yi.
I wonder if Tang Zhen will get used to accompanying Zhao Zhongshen in a brothel? I really wronged him.
