Chapter 642
It was just getting dark, Wei Mao changed into casual clothes, and rode out of the inner city.

At the bridgehead of the grass market outside Dongshuimen, there is a small courtyard full of pears and apricots.

The buds have not yet opened, and the courtyard is also quiet.

Under the pear tree, Wei Mao saw Fu Jiuqu standing with his hands behind his back.

Long time no see, Wei Mao's footsteps are brisk like a child's, and his voice is full of joy.

"This subordinate has seen the county king... I didn't expect the county king to come back so quickly, and my subordinates came here as soon as they received the news."

Fu Jiuqu's expression was calm, but his brows were tightly frowned, "What's the situation in Beijing right now?"

Wei Mao said cautiously: "The official family is sick, unable to handle government affairs, and there are constant gossips in the court. Everyone is a soldier, and panic is extreme. The establishment of a crown prince is imminent. From the current point of view, both governments favor the right guard general Zhao Zongshi. He was raised in the palace when he was young. Among them, he has a relationship with officials and saints... It is said that the officials have almost agreed with him..."

There were faint waves in Fu Jiuqu's black eyes.

"How is the official's health?"

Wei Mao frowned and sighed.

"Two days ago, there was news that the official family could no longer speak...but the news in the palace was false and true, and the subordinates did not dare to say it. Right now, people outside can't see the official family. Since the illness, only the two palaces can enter the house Reported to the outside world and covered it tightly. The subordinates were also anxious, so they hurriedly reported to the county king..."

"You're doing the right thing."

In this situation, everyone feels insecure and silent.

It was already a big risk for Wei Mao to send this message to him.

Fu Jiuqu's sharp face softened a little.

"Cao Shengren, can you express your opinion?"

Wei Mao thought for a while.

"There is news, and the subordinates don't know whether to say it or not."

Fu Jiuqu said in a deep voice, "My brother, you don't have to be jealous."

"Yes." Wei Mao arched his hands, and said in a low voice: "My subordinates found out that Fu Bi had had an affair with Cao Shengren in private. The saint made it clear that Zhao Zongshi, the adopted son of the official family, should be appointed as the crown prince and inherit the throne. This It probably coincides with Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi's thoughts..."

Fu Jiuqu sneered, his eyes as cold as ice.

"So, the prime minister and the empress have reached an agreement, and we just wait for the official to die?"

Wei Mao was startled, bowed his head and cupped his hands.

"The subordinates are talking nonsense, but the subordinates don't mean that."

"I know." Fu Jiuqu said coldly, with a cold expression on his face, "That's what they meant."

Wei Mao paused, and slowly raised his head to look at Fu Jiuqu.

"A Chazi came to report that Wen Xiang and Fu Xiang had written an edict in the Daqing Palace. Once the official dies, this edict will prevail. The sage will announce the edict and help Zhao Zongshi to take the position so as to reassure the people. I think the official has something to do. I noticed that the person was sick again, and his heart was not stable. He inevitably had doubts about the saint and the prime minister... This is why the saint conspired against him. The whole palace heard about it, and the saint let the officials lose face. Right now, she is also shutting her doors, even the Palace of Funing, she will not go there anymore, and the official's family is so seriously ill, she dare not visit..."

Judging from Wei Mao's tone, it meant to explain to Empress Cao.

Fu Jiuqu glanced at him, "What does that have to do with Zhang Maoze?"

Wei Mao: "The person who communicates between the rich and the sage is Zhang Maoze who entered the prison. Therefore, the rumors became more and more fierce. Some people said that Zhang Maoze had an affair with Empress Cao. Zhang Maoze had no face to face others. I want to show my ambition by death, fortunately I was rescued..."

Fu Jiuqu nodded, "I understand."

As far as the emperor is concerned, this courtier is not doing well, just change it.

On the contrary, is it not the case for ministers?When the officials fell ill, the prime ministers naturally panicked.They don't know if they care about Da Song Sheji, but they must care about the well-being of their own family.

Therefore, everyone wants the credit for Fuxinhuang's ascension to the throne.

Right now, the court hall is indistinguishable from ghosts and humans, and it seems to be calm, with many undercurrents and selfish intentions hidden.

Fu Jiuqu didn't reveal much, and he couldn't detect any disturbance on his face.

"You arrange it."

Wei Mao was startled, "What is the county king going to do?"

Fu Jiuqu looked at him firmly, and said word by word: "See you in the palace."

·
Funing Hall.

Zhao Zhen was lying on the imperial couch, coughing twice from time to time, as if he couldn't breathe in his lungs.

"Officials." Li Fu offered the white jade cup, "You should take your medicine."

Zhao Zhen silently looked at Xiao Huangmen who was bowing down to serve the medicine, then glanced at the tray, and shook his head.

Li Fu cautiously said, "Officials, this is the medicine of Imperial Physician Xie, you have to drink it to make your body recover..."

"Get out..." Zhao Zhen coughed, his face flushed, and he said while panting, "I have been the emperor for decades, and I still use you to teach me? I don't want to drink. These quack doctors just... just want to kill me..."

Li Fu's hands trembled, and he knelt heavily on the ground, lowering his head lower and lower.

Zhao Zhen rubbed his chest and looked at him, and smiled softly, "When I... get better... I will definitely send these quack doctors... far away, out of sight and out of mind."

"Officials..." Li Fu held up the tray with both hands, shaking like chaff.

A bright yellow sleeve stretched out and took the medicine bowl.

Li Fu breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly got up to serve the emperor with medicine.Zhao Zhen's complexion was sallow, and it was extremely difficult to swallow. He took the medicine very slowly, as if there were needles in the soup. It took a long time to drink half a bowl, and the bowl was full of breath, and his beard was trembling.

"They all... wished for my death... I... didn't die..."

With his eyes closed, he gulped down the medicine bowl again.

Li Fudao: "My lords and imperial physicians, all hope that the official dragon's body will be healthy and recover soon..."

Zhao Zhen smiled, "Haven't I heard enough of their lies every day?"

"The official family..."

When Li Fu was about to say something, Zhao Zhen coughed, and suddenly threw the medicine bowl over.

The medicine stains from the bottom of the bowl flew to Li Fu's face, and Li Fu knelt down in fear and remained motionless.

Recently, the officials have lost their temper, and they still have restraint in front of the two governments and three prime ministers, but naturally they don't need it in front of these palace people.Li Fu doesn't understand the important affairs of the court, but he has been in the palace for many years, he has not eaten pork but has seen pigs walk, so he can understand somewhat. Right now, the palace is divided into many factions, officials, saints, prime ministers, each with their own ideas Mind, all fighting for the supreme power in the world.

"What are you doing in a daze, don't you pack it up quickly and wait for me to do it myself?"

Li Fu bent down to tidy up in a panic, and brought warm water to clean the official's face and hands.

Zhao Zhen lay down, closed his eyes and was silent. If he hadn't coughed twice occasionally, he would look like a dead person.

This is often the case with officials these days.

Several times, Li Fu was so frightened that he wanted to sniff him.

It is said that a companion is like a tiger, and Li Fu is glad that the person he is following is Zhao Zhen. At least this official is not good at killing people, at worst, scold him a few words, or make them angry.

But Li Fu didn't complain.

What he saw with his own eyes, even the officials were angry with the ministers, let alone a eunuch?
Zhao Zhen suddenly turned his face to the side, his voice weak and weak.

"I'm going to rest...get off!"

Li Fu bowed his head and stepped forward, tucked in the quilt for the officials, lowered the curtains, and walked back slowly.

He closed the door and was about to turn around to leave when suddenly he saw a tall figure standing there, dressed in the clothes of a Ouchi guard, with his head slightly lowered, the figure was somewhat familiar.

Li Fu frowned, "The officials are resting, let's go quickly."

He didn't want to be scolded anymore, he was a little impatient like chasing flies.

The man didn't move, he stood on the spot, "I have something urgent to see the official."

When Li Fu heard this, he almost jumped up in fright.

"You, you are, you are..."

Fu Jiuqu looked at him expressionlessly, "Thank you, father-in-law, for your convenience."

Before his voice fell, he walked straight past Li Fu, pushed the door open and entered. Li Fu's heart shrank when he saw this, and he was about to stop him two steps later, but was pulled back by another guard who appeared from the diagonal stab.

"Eunuch Li stay behind."

Li Fu looked at the knife on the guard's waist, pointed to the direction Fu Jiuqu left, opened his mouth to say something, and swallowed it again.

The guard said: "Elder-in-law didn't see anything tonight."

Li Fu's forehead was covered with sweat, he was so nervous that he couldn't speak, he stammered, "Yes, but the officials..."

The guard said: "If the official sees someone, the official will naturally tell. If the official refuses to tell, then the official has not seen it. None of the official can see it. Only you, Eunuch Li, have seen it." , then it will be troublesome... Tell me, do other people believe in officials, or in you, Eunuch Li?"

"..."

Li Fu shrank his neck and said nothing more.

That is the nephew loved by the officials, even if he did something against the rules, the officials should punish him.The officials can be unhappy, but Li Fu can't.If his mouth is not good and he speaks out, the unlucky person must be him...

boom!
There was a sound in the room.

Li Fu was so frightened that he straightened up reflexively, trying to rush in, but was held back by the guards again.

The guard shook his head, Li Fu turned pale with fright.
