The Empress's Special Favor: The Prime Minister and His Excellency are Offenders

Chapter 4 Going to Participate in Concubine Selection?

"Long live the emperor," Imperial Physician Lin saw the emperor coming, and saluted quickly,
"Excuse me,"

"Who is this?" Mo Qingling looked at the man kneeling on the ground, it was clearly the naked man he met in the inn just now,

"Returning to the emperor, this person is Chu Liancheng, the son of Chu Mosheng, the chief physician of the former emperor, Chu Liancheng. After the unfortunate death of the imperial physician, Liancheng has been studying medicine with the old minister. When he was 15 years old, he went out to travel around the world to see the world. Now he is back. Now, the old minister intends to let him take over the position of the director of the imperial hospital, so the old minister can also tell his old age and return to his hometown." Imperial Physician Lin stroking the goat and talking nonsense,

"That's fine," Mo Qingling nodded, as long as the selection of talents in each court meets the regulations, there is no need to report to the emperor, and Mo Qingling will naturally not ask too much.
"Master Prime Minister is unwell?" Mo Qingling looked at Yu Mingxi carefully, as if to see something wrong from his face,
"Go back to the emperor, I'm fine, I just sneezed, it's because Eunuch De made a big fuss." When there were other people, Yu Mingxi was still very respectful to the emperor,

"That's it, the imperial doctor Chu came here, and the Prime Minister had a physical examination at that time, so prevent it in advance,"

Yu Mingxi couldn't dodge it even if he looked at it, so he obediently stretched out his hand to let Doctor Chu see,
Imperial Physician Chu took a quick glance and felt that the emperor's eyes were somewhat familiar, but because Mo Qingling was dressed as a woman and covered her face before, and in order not to be identified, Mo Qingling tried to keep her voice down as much as possible when wearing men's clothes, and deliberately lowered her voice when wearing women's clothes. His voice spoke in the same voice, so Physician Chu did not connect the two people before and after at all.
"Back to the emperor, the Prime Minister's pulse is strong and strong, and he is physically fit. There is no problem at all." As soon as Doctor Chu caught the pulse of the Prime Minister, he felt that this person seemed to be too healthy. As long as there are some minor problems in the body , and the Prime Minister is not only healthier than normal people, but his pulse shows that this is likely to be a special physique in the legend, but he has only heard about it, and has never encountered it. He feels that it is impossible, but he is in better health than ordinary people Bar.

In the next few days, Yu Mingxi rushed to the imperial study room to listen to the reports of the various courts every day after the court, while Mo Qingling would not see anyone once the court was over, and went to the palace for private visits, sometimes in women's clothes, sometimes in men's clothes, and sometimes dressed as a businessman , sometimes pretending to be a scholar,
The day before the Concubine Selection Ceremony, Mo Qingling changed into a peasant girl's attire, wandered the street with a vegetable basket, bought two biscuits, and went to sit on a rock in the suburbs, watching the scenery while eating the biscuits,

"This is my country~" Mo Qingling couldn't help being majestic in her heart,

Suddenly there was a commotion,
"Hey, you, did you see a man and a woman passing by here?" The leading man saw Mo Qingling and asked in a rough voice, looking very anxious.
"A man and a woman? There are a lot of men and women on the street," Mo Qingling's gossip spirit was burning. Did something bloody happen?
"Boss, the master said, we have to act quietly, otherwise people will be alarmed, and it will not end well,"

"But I haven't found it after searching for several days. Tomorrow is the concubine selection ceremony. How can this be in time?"

"Look at that little girl, she is about the same age as our young lady." Needless to say, for such a poor girl, she can solve everything with some money.
In fact, their voices were extremely low, but Mo Qingling's inner strength was strong, and the distance was not far or close enough for her to hear clearly.

"It turns out that it's really so bloody. I don't know which family's daughter has eloped with someone. Is this to arrest me to make up for it? If I insist on placing a woman next to me, I want to see who eats it." Ambitious and daring, what exactly do you want to do?" Mo Qingling secretly smiled, her eyes were still looking at the lake, her feet were dangling on the rocks,

"Little girl, can I ask you something?" The leading man came over and said,
"What's the matter? What benefit did you give me?" Mo Qingling asked, her eyes revealing poverty,

"Well, don't ask about it. It's a once-in-a-lifetime event. It's not convenient to talk about it here. After the event is completed, your benefits will be indispensable." The man promised that he was not lying. There are indeed many things to become a noble concubine benefit,
"Okay, but you can't lie to me," Mo Qingling smiled, followed them a few steps, and got into a sedan chair, which was so exquisite, but very low-key,

"This person seems to be planning something big," Mo Qingling probably guessed something,
The sedan chair was brought in through the back door. Mo Qingling had never been here before, so she didn't know which minister's residence this was.

"Looks like I'll be out and about more in the future,"

Walking in front of a house, the leading man asked Mo Qingling and three subordinates to wait in place, and he went in first to report the situation,
The moment the door was opened, Mo Qingling wanted to see as much as possible who was inside, but she only looked at the corner of her clothes, and the door closed immediately.
It seemed that they were affirmed by the people inside, and the leader handed Mo Qingling to a middle-aged woman in the mansion, and left after explaining a few words.

"Little girl, come with me." The middle-aged woman was expressionless, showing no emotions,
"Little girl, no matter what your name was before, from now on, your name is Zheng Wan'er, do you know how to read?"

The woman was talking and suddenly thought of something,
"Know some. Xinhuang implements national compulsory education, regardless of gender. I have also studied for a few years, and I can read some words," Mo Qingling said deliberately proudly,

"Just recognize it. This is your birthday horoscope, and some basic information about you. You must memorize them all before tomorrow. If you don't memorize them, you will be killed." I can feel that she is worried about this little girl, but there is nothing I can do, I can only try to help her,
"A murder?" Mo Qingling asked,

"What I asked you to do is very dangerous, but if you do it well, you may become rich and powerful, but what's so good about being rich? It depends on your fortune. Hey, it's all life." The woman Sighing, I couldn't bear it, the rest of the words were all talking to myself,
"What do I call you?" Mo Qingling asked, she had a crush on this woman,
"What are you asking these people for? After tomorrow, we won't meet again,"

"After all, I can keep it in my mind. I think you are very good to me." Mo Qingling said, this is the truth,

"Just call me Aunt Fu, good boy, and be careful in everything from now on."

Aunt Fu explained a few more words and left. Someone brought dinner tonight.
If he wanted to control her, he probably wouldn't just send her to the palace like this, but after seeing the food, it was not poisonous, so Mo Qingling ate it with peace of mind, blew on the lamp, didn't take off her clothes, just climbed into bed and lay down, recalling that there was no poison in the court. Which ministers surnamed Zheng,

"Heizi," the sky was getting dark, there was only a faint light in the house, and everyone seemed to have fallen asleep. Mo Qingling lay on the bed, and suddenly called softly,
"Master!" Suddenly a person jumped down from the beam,
Heizi is the shadow guard trained by Mo Qingling.

"Go and track down the whereabouts of this daughter, you don't need to report to me, just keep track of her at any time," Mo Qingling ordered,

"Yes, master, don't you want to tell the prime minister and the queen mother?" Heizi asked,
"No need," after Mo Qingling finished speaking, Heizi disappeared, and after a while, he came back and hid in the dark, thinking that he had already ordered the matter, and Mo Qingling could feel him with his internal strength.

The reason why Mo Qingling didn't send someone to inform the Queen Mother and Yu Mingxi was that on the one hand, she didn't want to expose her secret snobbish existence, and on the other hand, she also wanted to see what would happen to the court after she disappeared, and it would operate normally. Still a mess.

That day, Mo Qingling slept for a while, and was called up early in the morning to get ready to dress. She wore fine silk, which was delicate but not exaggerated. This Zheng's house was like this everywhere, as if she was holding back something.

Many people hurriedly talked to her about court etiquette, and she was looking forward to seeing her so-called "father" for the last time, but she didn't see her in the end.

"It's really bloody. I was unfortunately hit by my words. Not only do I have to choose a concubine, but now I have to run for my own concubine."
