I can't afford to mess with the concubine doctor

Chapter 80 Chen Xiucheng's Dangerous Plan
"For me?" This explanation is so fresh that even people who are not curious can't help but ask why.

"Yes." When she said this, Li Zhaoyi did not prostrate on the ground like before, but bravely raised her head to look at the emperor, and said word by word: "The emperor knows that the concubine's father was arrested because of his ineffective handling of the disaster. Leng Shizi was escorted to Beijing for trial, and later the censor participated in his father's corruption and bribery, and found evidence, but only a small amount of money was found, and the whereabouts of other money involved in the case are unknown."

"Are you going to intercede for Lai Qifeng?" The emperor snorted coldly, "As the magistrate of one party, Lai Qifeng's parents and officials in Jiangling, he couldn't even deal with a flood, but let the gang of Red Lotus Sect rebels take advantage of it and win the hearts of the people. Based on this alone, I can chop off his head!"

The emperor never paid attention to the life or death of ordinary people, but let the Red Lotus Sect take advantage of it for nothing and make remarks that were unfavorable to the court, but it was enough to make him restless and sleepless at night.

"The emperor misunderstood, the concubine didn't want to plead for my father." Facing the emperor's surprised gaze, Li Zhaoyi said word by word: "It's true that Lai Qifeng is the concubine's father. If the concubine is just an ordinary woman, she must He will intercede for him, but since the concubine has entered the palace as a concubine and received the title of Zhaoyi from the emperor's favor, he should distinguish between public and private, and always put the dignity of the emperor and the court at the top of his mind. Considering the importance of corruption, his father may not agree to it. Telling the place where the money is hidden, the concubine couldn't bear to be tortured, nor could he bear the emperor's dilemma because of the concubine, so she thought of going out of the palace secretly to persuade him to tell the truth..."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the palace was shocked. After all, Lai Qifeng was Li Zhaoyi's biological father, and they never thought that she would kill her relatives so righteously. Fortunately, Murong Li was not there, otherwise she would definitely vomit blood in anger.

"Really?" The emperor was always suspicious, so naturally he would not believe it easily.

"The concubine dare not lie to the emperor. The money that has not been found is hidden in the old house of Yunqing. You can send someone to find it." Li Zhaoyi nodded affirmatively, and then couldn't help crying: "The concubine wants to I have finished what I have said, and I ask the emperor to punish me."

The reason why the emperor was furious was that he believed that the purpose of Li Zhaoyi's trip was to benefit Lai Qifeng, and even colluded with the Ministry of Criminal Affairs to do something to hide the truth, but he misunderstood the other party unexpectedly, and most of the anger in his heart disappeared immediately. Seeing that the emperor personally stepped forward to help Li Zhaoyi up, he said calmly: "It's cold on the ground, don't kneel down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Zhaoyi seemed to be moved by the Emperor's actions, and the tears in the corners of her eyes couldn't be stopped, and she choked up after a while and said: "I thought the Emperor would hate my concubines, and I will never pay attention to my concubines again." gone."

Li Zhaoyi's face was beautiful, because she had escaped from the palace, she only put on a thin layer of powder, and now she was crying like pear blossoms with rain, the emperor couldn't help but bemused, and lightly reprimanded: "Thinking of nonsense!" What, never did I say that."

None of the eunuchs who followed the emperor knew how to observe the situation. Seeing this situation, they were all in admiration for Li Zhaoyi's heroic feat of exterminating relatives. A fleeing incident that should have caused an uproar was just handled lightly and let it go.

Not only that, but under Li Zhaoyi's insinuation, the ten-star suspicious emperor felt more and more that Li Zhaoyi's arrest was deliberately done, otherwise how could she leave the palace safely?
Poor Murong Li not only failed to take this opportunity to get rid of Li Zhaoyi, but instead lost a few confidantes who had finally been placed everywhere in the palace gate.

At this time, Qu Lingxu, who had just recovered from a serious illness, was sitting under the window dismantling a small and exquisite pistol. After hearing Ling Yun's reply, he smiled lightly and said, "Our Mausoleum King is really warm-hearted. It's just a piece of news, but he took care of the rest of the matter so well, it's a pity that he underestimated Li Zhaoyi's cruelty, and even more underestimated her weight in the emperor's heart."

To say that the most powerful wind in the world is definitely not a tornado, but... a pillow wind.

"It's better to let the emperor teach him a lesson, lest he always cause trouble for the master." Yun Yi curled her lips in disgust, and then sighed again, "Li Zhaoyi looks gentle and docile, I didn't expect to be so hard-hearted , that's her biological father, if he said he would betray him, he would betray him."

"In order to harm the queen, Empress Wu even strangled her daughter who was just full moon to death. The dynasties tried to usurp the throne, and how many brothers killed each other. In the face of huge enough interests, what is the relationship between flesh and blood?" When he said this , the gun in Qu Lingxu's hand has been assembled. After loading the bullets, she aimed at the small flowerpot placed at the gate of the outer courtyard and slowly pulled the trigger. The next moment, the flowerpot shattered to the ground.

Yun Yi blinked vigorously, and couldn't believe her eyes. Even Ling Yun, who was hiding in the dark, opened his mouth wide in surprise. There is still a distance of 30 meters from here to the outer courtyard. Of course, the fastest hidden weapon in his hand can also kill flowers. The pot was smashed, but definitely not at such a fast speed.

"Master... this little thing... is too powerful!" Under the double impact of surprise and excitement, Yun Yi couldn't even speak.

"Don't move, be careful to wipe the gun and let it go off." Qu Lingxu carefully removed the magazine, and then handed the pistol to Yunyi, explaining: "This is a powerful weapon. With it, what kind of spear and dagger I'm not afraid anymore."

This is the most exquisite small pistol in the 22nd century. It is only 5.5 centimeters long, but it is such a small pistol, but it can fire normal bullets with a range of up to 112 meters. I fell in love with it, and it took a full 500 million to photograph it.

112 meters, in this era of cold weapons where gunpowder has not yet been fully popularized, it is enough for self-defense, among other things.

"This...too...too powerful." Yun Yi looked at the pistol with golden eyes, and praised, "Master, with this baby, you don't have to be afraid of any assassins anymore."

The reason why Qu Lingxu found this only miniature pistol was not for self-defense. After all, no matter how useful the gun is, it is not as powerful as poison powder. It is just that Rong Sheng's birthday is approaching, so using such a novel thing He must like it as a birthday gift for his son.

Qu Lingxu had another hidden worry about giving this pistol to Rong Sheng. She always felt that Murong Li would find opportunities to attack Rong Sheng while dealing with herself. Although such opportunities did not come often, as the saying goes, If he is not afraid of thieves stealing, he is afraid of thieves thinking about it. Rong Sheng is in the light and Murong Li is in the dark. If you plan to do something carefully, you may not be unable to do it. With this exquisite pistol, it can be regarded as a surprise.

As for the poisonous powder or something, that kid is frizzy, don't poison others but poison himself instead, so forget it.

Facts have proved that Qu Lingxu's sixth sense is very accurate. Concubine Xu Guifei and her son picked the people around her, but that person was not Rong Sheng. Because of this accident, she spent a long time in self-blame. Because of this, he made up his mind not only to uproot those people, but also to ruin their reputations and prevent them from being reborn forever.

Of course, this is a story.

Hearing that Qu Lingxu was going to give this unheard-of 'powerful hidden weapon' to Rong Sheng, Yun Yi felt a pain in the flesh, and almost blurted out: "Master, do you have to give this?"

"Look at your money-lovers, it's just a little thing. If you want it, I'll study it in my spare time and make a few similar gadgets for you to use." During these days, she deliberately read the history books, and also I went to the market to investigate and found out that although there was no steel in this era, the iron smelting technology was quite good. As long as a few talents who were proficient in iron were found, it would be no problem to make some advanced weapons and concealed weapons.

As for the scalpel, it doesn't matter if you don't have stainless steel. She is rich and powerful now, so she can use silverware.

After this short episode, Yun Yi reluctantly put the pistol into the gift box that Qu Lingxu had prepared in advance, and often breathed a sigh of relief: "Concubine Xu Guifei's mother and daughter were grounded, and King Ling suffered such a big secret loss again. After a while, no one should come to trouble the master, and I feel happy just thinking about it."

No one is asking for trouble?
Qu Lingxu is not as optimistic as Yun Yi, because she knows that some people are completely crazy after they are driven to a dead end.

The situation in the capital was still turbulent. In comparison, Leng Yuanxun's situation in Jiangling was not much better, because he met a formidable opponent.

Yes, everyone, including Leng Yuanxun himself, underestimated this opponent.

Due to the lack of effective medicine, the number of people who broke out in the plague in the Red Lotus Sect gradually increased. After a brief panic, Chen Xiucheng quickly calmed down. He made a decision that stunned everyone, that is... no longer a prison, Instead, all the congregants infected with the plague were put down the mountain.

"Master, the plague is spreading seriously now. Once they are allowed out of the quarantine area, the virus will spread wildly. I am afraid that countless brothers will be infected." Uncle Cheng was the first to raise objections.

For doctors, the plague is nothing short of a nightmare.

"That's right, Chief, the people in the village are in a state of panic right now, and it's up to you to calm them down in person. The family members of those who are sick are all on the mountain. If they were to be separated suddenly, I'm afraid people will be disturbed again!"

"Master, this can't be done!"

……

Opposition came one after another, but Chen Xiucheng must have his reasons for making this decision, and how could he give up because of other people's opposition? His sharp eyes slashed across everyone in front of him like a knife's edge, until the lobby became quiet again, Just then said indifferently: "Isolate, who can ensure that the plague will not spread?"

Seeing the people looking at each other, Chen Xiucheng didn't wait for their answer, but continued: "No. Besides, we don't have any effective medicine, and it's okay to be trapped here for a few days, but the [-] army led by Qu Liancheng can't wait for half a month at most. It will arrive, everyone, do you think it is better to sit here and wait for death, or rush down the mountain to find a way out?"

Although they had the right time and place, Chen Xiucheng knew very well that the reason why Leng Yuanxun only sent people to surround the mountain without further action was to prevent the two armies from fighting to accelerate the spread of the plague, but these happened to be something he, Chen Xiucheng, was not afraid of .

Not all those infected with the plague on the mountain have reached the point of terminal illness. As long as they break through the siege and go down the mountain, they will have a chance to snatch the life-saving medicine taken by the people in the city. In this way, they have a chance to survive. At the same time, there is no source of infection on the mountain, so he no longer needs to be threatened by the plague. He can concentrate on studying tactics, advance and attack, and retreat and defend.
