The general's wife through time

Chapter 291: Bad memory?
Mu Xian could no longer suppress the sweet taste in his throat and spit out a mouthful of blood, "Your Majesty, ordinary people really don't know that there are explosives in soups and vegetables."

Emperor Jingkang was so angry that his facial features were distorted, and the evil dragon roared, "You brought a knife to kill me. If I hadn't known kung fu, I would have died a long time ago. You also brought thunder and fire bombs. If Xiaobai and Mingqi hadn't discovered it in time, I would have been killed." It’s all gone. If you tell me you don’t know, do you think I’m a fool?”

Looking at Mu Xian's complicated eyes, the gurgling blood on the palm of his right hand, Mu Xian's sleeve that was blown away and his bloody left arm, Si Wei couldn't help but look around again. , then stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty, calm down your anger first. This case will be handed over to me for trial. I will definitely help you get to the bottom of it."

"Investigation, let's start the investigation now, and we will interrogate here. No one is allowed to leave even half a step before Xiaobai wakes up!" Emperor Jingkang said angrily.

Si Wei looked helplessly at Emperor Jingkang, and pointed at the dense crowd of Imperial Guards around him, "Your Majesty, I don't like to be disturbed when I'm deciding a case. Can you ask them all to step aside?"

"No, the Chief Assistant Si did not see the danger just now. I will never allow His Majesty to be involved in danger again!" Wu Heng stood beside Si Wei with a firm attitude.

Si Wei also refused to give in, "Master Wu, even if you retreat with the others, I will guarantee with the lives of the nine tribes that nothing will happen to your majesty."

"Hmph, what if there is an emergency? What Dajing needs is His Majesty, not the lives of your Si family."

Seeing that the two confidants were about to fight on the spot, Emperor Jingkang waved his hands impatiently, "Okay, Wu Heng, go and guard outside. I'm fine."

"Yes!" After responding, Wu Heng reluctantly and slowly retreated out, taking three steps and two steps before turning back, fearing that His Majesty would disappear if he didn't pay attention to him.

"Who was that person just now? I have been in the palace for more than ten years and I have never seen him. He was dressed in common clothes. Why did he enter the imperial study room to commit an assassination?"

"Also, why am I here in the imperial study? I was guarding the palace gate with you just now!"

"Yeah, it's so strange and dazed. Maybe I can just go back and take a nap."

When several people retreated to the door, they whispered a few words in a low voice.

"Wait a minute!" Si Wei's eyes sharpened, he walked quickly in front of a few people, and asked loudly: "What did you just say?"

"Si Chief Assistant, are you trying to take it out on my people? We have a disagreement and it has nothing to do with them. If you are unhappy, come at me!" Wu Heng strode towards Si Wei with anger. He can repair his soldiers severely, but if others want to find trouble, there is no way!
Si Wei ignored Wu Heng and did not explain. He turned around, bowed to Emperor Jingkang, and asked for instructions: "Your Majesty, please issue an order to summon all the imperial troops who have been on duty outside the imperial study room recently. I want you to Investigate the case.”

Xia Mingze lost his memory inexplicably, and his memory stayed a few years ago. The words of those people just now clearly meant that they did not recognize Mu Xian. However, Mu Xian often visited the palace recently, and even the officials would occasionally meet and say hello. How could the Imperial Army not recognize him? This had to make him suspect that there was something wrong with those forbidden troops.

Wu Heng: "Do you suspect that my people want to assassinate His Majesty?"

Si Wei suppressed his anger, patiently turned his head and told him in a gentle voice, "Master Wu, please be patient. I just want to investigate the case, not against you. The matter is very complicated and cannot be explained in a sentence or two." "Qing, Mr. Wu can watch from the side, and you will naturally understand the purpose of my move."

"Wu Heng, please calm down your temper. Si Wei is not such a fussy person. Let's do what Si Wei wants first!" Emperor Jingkang said.

Everyone was gathered outside the imperial study, but Si Wei asked someone to close the door, and the first person to ask was Little Eunuch Li.

"Eunuch Li, do you remember what food Mu Xian brought to the palace a few days ago?"

After little Eunuch Li finished answering, he asked again, "Do you remember when Xiaobai entered the palace? What did His Majesty say to it at that time?"

Little Eunuch Li answered fluently again.

Emperor Jingkang was stunned, "Si Wei, what kind of medicine are you selling in your gourd?"

Si Wei replied respectfully: "Tonight, I want to give your Majesty a big gift."

It’s like not saying anything! Emperor Jingkang couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "Okay, you continue." Then Si Wei asked Mu Xian what he had done recently.

Emperor Jingkang hummed in his heart: What else could Mu Xian do? He came to deliver food every day, which made me lower my guard and paved the way for today's assassination.

Although Mu Xian felt baffled, he could only honestly explain his recent itinerary and what he had done, including his daily battle of wits and courage with the golden eagle.

After confirming that Mu Xian had a good mind, Si Wei looked at his hand and asked, "How did you hurt your hand?"

Mu Xian glanced at his left arm subconsciously, "It exploded just now. I couldn't avoid it in time and was injured."

Si Wei nodded, squatted in front of Mu Xian, and took his right hand, "Then what's going on with your palm?"

It was scratched by a dagger, and it was obviously scratched by the murder weapon placed not far away from Mu Xian.

Assassinate others, but hurt yourself...

Mu Xian was startled when he was asked, and then he said vaguely: "It was my first assassination, and I didn't control the intensity well."

A sly glint flashed in Si Wei's eyes, and he stood up and patted his shoulder, "I'll talk to you later after I finish asking the others."

Next, Si Wei called the Imperial Guards into the hall one by one and asked them about the same content, including what they had done recently. Sometimes he even pointed at Mu Xian and Xiao Bai and asked them if they knew that person and the holy beast.

Emperor Jingkang no longer participated in those details and asked Eunuch Li to bring a futon. He sat next to Xiaobai and helped Qin Mingqi bandage. His hands were gentler than ever before. He also wiped his tears and promised, "Xiaobai, I'll wait for you." Now that the injury has healed, I will make you a princess, the princess of the country, and enjoy the treatment of a legitimate princess. The treatment of the sacred beast will remain unchanged. I will choose a consort for you in the future, ah no, Fuhu..."

As he spoke, he reached out and touched Xiaobai's head, and then his pupils shrank, "Mingqi, she has a fever!"

Qin Mingqi's hand shook, and the gauze almost pinched Xiaobai's wound.

"Okay, you bandage it well." Emperor Jingkang glared at him and asked, "Which medicine in the medicine box is for reducing fever?"

Picking up a small white pill and feeding it into Xiaobai's mouth, Emperor Jingkang asked again: "Is it okay to apply ice? Or wipe the forehead with wine? Or fan it with a fan?"

Qin Mingqi: "No, Xiaobai's body is a little different. Those methods won't help much. It's better to let her have a good rest. I specially made the antipyretic medicine for Xiaobai. It works well. She should be fine after a while."

Emperor Jingkang saw that Xiaobai's fever had subsided, and then he felt relieved. When he turned around, he found that Si Weiren was gone.

He stood up suddenly, and Little Eunuch Li hurriedly reported: "Your Majesty, Mr. Si went outside to interrogate the case with Mr. Wu."

"Why are you still outside the door?"

Little Eunuch Li coughed lightly, "It took Master Si half an hour to find out all the suspicious people. Master Wu was very impressed, so he asked Master Si to help and then asked those people who have bad memories."

Little Eunuch Li couldn't help but secretly cursed: "Fortunately, I have a good memory. If it were Master, he would have forgotten those trivial matters. I'm afraid he will be severely interrogated now because of his poor memory."

"Have a bad memory?" Emperor Jingkang's cold eyes were deep, and he considered these four words repeatedly. Something suddenly flashed through his mind, but unfortunately he did not catch it.

Emperor Jingkang looked back at Mu Xian and told Eunuch Li, "Get him some gold sore medicine and treat it. Don't really die, otherwise it will delay the case of the Secretary's critical trial."

He held the memorial and sat next to Xiao Bai, took his cloak and carefully covered Xiao Bai, and then sat back to deal with the memorial.
