I can't afford to mess with the concubine doctor

Chapter 78 meet in secret
Hearing that this was the case, Chen's hanging heart finally fell, and he shook his head helplessly, "You ghost, you scared my mother."

"If you don't act more seriously, our Mausoleum King will have to cause some troubles for his daughter, so we can simply send him away, and it will be over." With Murong Li's cautious temperament, she must be treated by Dr. Xu. It is a pity that in order to let the emperor send him to Jiangling, he sent the other party back to the Valley of the Medicine King early on. It can be said that he was clever but was mistaken by his cleverness.

"These people are all cruel and ruthless. My mother always feels terrified every time I think about it. In a place like the imperial palace, unless the queen mother and the emperor personally summon them, the other people's orders will be dismissed as illness." Chen stroked Qu Lingxu's soft tenderness With sideburns and melancholy eyes, "His Royal Highness is honest and polite, and has saved your life several times. It was originally a rare good match, but he is at the core of the royal family's struggle. I don't know how many open and hidden arrows he has to guard against every day." , being by his side, it is inevitable that you will be frightened, mother does not ask you to be rich and powerful, but only hopes that you can be safe..."

Chen's heart is soft, although after the plague, she gradually realized that she could not save her life by avoiding it blindly, and her words and deeds became fierce in front of others, but in her heart, she didn't want her only daughter to suffer those intrigues and intrigues. .

With Chen's motherly heart, Qu Lingxu was inevitably moved, and comforted her with a smile: "Mother, don't worry, my daughter has never thought of adoring His Highness the Crown Prince."

The crown prince is the heir apparent. In order to win over the courtiers, he had to marry several side concubines and concubines, and there were countless other concubines. Not to mention that she didn't like the crown prince at all, even if she did, she wouldn't. marry.

Qu Lingxu's firm attitude relieved Chen, and said with a smile, "That's good."

After such a simple chat about family matters, Mrs. Chen was worried about disturbing Qu Lingxu's rest, so she took Madam Cui and left.

After Mrs. Chen left, Yun Yi pointed to the various brocade boxes on the table and asked, "Master, what should we do with these things?"

"Receive it in the warehouse first, and when I have time to check it, I will sell it at a pawn shop if there is no problem." Although the possibility of Murong Li blatantly tampering with these things is very small, it is still necessary to prevent it and be cautious Some are better.

"Yes."

When Qu Lingxu was dealing with Murong Li, Li Zhaoyi was not idle in the palace. Counting the days, Lai Qifeng should be escorted to Beijing in the next two days. After repeated struggles, she finally made up her mind.

"This painting is an authentic painting by Wu Daozi. It is worth tens of thousands of gold. You can take it to the head of the inner court later. I think he has no guts to refuse." .

"Master, do you really want to do this? In this way, the boss will lose half of his life." Xiao Tao, Li Zhaoyi's close maid, looked at her master in disbelief. She couldn't believe what she had just heard. The words are true.

"Now that things have happened, do you think that if I don't do this, my father will survive?" Li Zhaoyi's thin lips slightly parted, and her cold tone made people feel like they were in the cold winter, "Instead of letting Bengong Being implicated and falling out of favor, exiling all the clansmen, it is better to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds, in order to achieve later results."

After a long chat that day, Li Zhaoyi thought a lot about it. Just as Qu Lingxu said, Murong Li has already grasped the evidence of Lai Qifeng's embezzlement. How can it be hidden?What's more, people in Jiangling area are full of grievances, and someone must come to appease the anger in the hearts of the people. With many incidents overlapping, Lai Qifeng definitely has no chance of surviving.

"But..." Xiaotao is not as thoughtful as Li Zhaoyi, nor as ruthless as Li Zhaoyi. She hesitated a little, and said in a low voice: "The emperor has often summoned the master to sleep with him these days. If the master takes the opportunity to speak, Maybe things can turn around?"

"Introduction?" Li Zhaoyi snorted coldly, "Do you think I didn't die fast enough?"

Although she has not been with her for a long time, she also understands that the person next to her is the most indifferent and indifferent person. Even Concubine Xu Gui, who has been favored for many years and has given birth to her, can deal with it as soon as she says it, not to mention that she is so basic. The concubine who is still shallow.

"Then my lord... will he listen to the master and tell me the location of the hidden silver?" If the stolen goods are not found, the crime of corruption will not be established for a day. layer.

"Father is a sensible person. He knows what to do at this moment is in his best interest. Even if he doesn't think about it for me, he will definitely not implicate my two incompetent younger brothers to die together."

Lai Qifeng has two sons under his knees, but these two sons were born of concubines, Li Zhaoyi doesn't have much affection for them, and Lai Qifeng is patriarchal and somewhat contemptuous of her, so he doesn't speak How polite.

Seeing that Li Zhaoyi had made up her mind, Xiaotao knew that she had no room to persuade her, so she nodded and went out with her calligraphy and painting.

The matter was arranged calmly. One night after five days, Li Zhaoyi changed into the eunuch's clothes early and waited in the bedroom. Come in and whisper: "Master, Eunuch Gao is ready and we can go."

Li Zhaoyi nodded, and let Xiaotao put a nocturnal cloak on her body, and said in a concentrated voice: "Has the palace dealt with it properly?"

"Master, don't worry, the servant has added some sweat medicine to the dinner, and checked carefully just now, no one will wake up."

"Very good, tonight you will pretend to be my palace and sleep in the dormitory. If there is no accident, I will come back with the water truck in two hours. During this period, you should be more vigilant."

Hearing this, Xiaotao nodded, "Master, don't worry, the servants will be careful, and there will be no mistakes."

"My palace is gone."

Every ten minutes of the night shift in the palace, there will be a young eunuch from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to transport all kinds of garbage produced in the palace to the outside of the palace. Li Zhaoyi bought the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs early in the morning, and the head of the house deliberately found a clean slop bucket and hid it in the palace. Among them, although it has been cleaned countless times, the smell in the swill bucket still choked Li Zhaoyi and almost passed out, but fortunately, she got out of the palace smoothly, changed a small carriage at the gate of the palace, and went all the way to the official department. The prison drove away.

There was no one at night, and the coachman was driving at full speed, but within a short time, he arrived at the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. As the saying goes, money can make ghosts turn the clock. When the second-rank officials were weak, Li Zhaoyi just wanted to go into the cell to see Lai Qifeng, not to take him away, so there was no need to alert the higher-ups, as long as he greeted the prison chief, there would be no problem.

The power of the unknown is often not easy to ignore.

The space in the dungeon is small, and as soon as you enter, you can smell an unpleasant rancid smell. When you listen carefully, you can hear shrill shouts from time to time, which makes people feel horrified and shudder.

The cell steward had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Li Zhaoyi brought in by one of his own people, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, and said respectfully: "Young lady pays her respects, and according to her order, I intend to lock the old man in a separate cell." , there is no one else around, the empress can speak with confidence."

Time was limited, and Li Zhaoyi didn't want to delay, she nodded and said, "Eunuch Lao will lead the way."

"Yes."

The light in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice was dim, and the man lit an oil lamp to lead the way in front of him just now. He turned and turned around a while ago, only to feel that the road in front of him was getting narrower and the smell of rancidity was getting heavier and heavier, but he never saw Lai Qifeng's shadow , Li Zhaoyi couldn't help feeling anxious, and said, "How much longer?"

It's okay if you don't open your mouth, but when you open your mouth, you can feel all the rancid smell in the air entering your mouth, which makes Li Zhaoyi retch uncontrollably.

The jailer was so frightened that he wanted to help Li Zhaoyi soothe his back, but he didn't dare. He stood aside at a loss, and kept apologizing, "Your Majesty, how can such a rich body bear such a smell? Wait a moment, little girl!" Now, let’s get Fengyoujing.”

"No need." Li Zhaoyi resisted the overwhelming discomfort in her stomach, gritted her teeth and said, "Hurry up and take me there."

When Li Zhaoyi said this, the jailer naturally didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly led Li Zhaoyi to continue walking forward, and after walking for a while, he pointed to a small cell in front and said, "Your Majesty, this is it. "

The air in the dungeon was too filthy, Li Zhaoyi stopped and wanted to relax, but after a while, not only did she not feel comfortable, but her chest became tighter and she couldn't even speak, she just waved her hands at the jailer.

Seeing Li Zhaoyi's appearance, the jailer thought that if something bad happened to her here, he couldn't bear it, so he hurriedly said: "Madam, I'm going to get Fengyoujing now, please wait a moment."

The sound outside disturbed the drowsy Lai Qifeng who was sleeping. He opened his eyes in a daze, and saw a familiar figure through the dim light. There was uncontrollable excitement, "Min'er, is that you, did you come to see me?"

Lai Qifeng is a scholar who has never experienced any hardship since he was a child. In the past few years, he has become accustomed to being pampered. In just a few days, he not only lost a lot of weight, but his hair also turned half gray. Now he sees the only Daughter, as if seeing a life-saving straw, how can you not be excited.

Hearing Lai Qifeng's voice, Li Zhaoyi managed to cheer up and looked up. When she saw her father's haggard appearance, she couldn't help being shocked, and tears rolled down her face involuntarily.

"Father, you have suffered." Perhaps because she diverted her attention, Li Zhaoyi didn't feel so uncomfortable at the moment, she just stepped forward to hold Lai Qifeng's hand tightly, and burst into tears.
