Rebirth of the Abandoned Concubine: The Poison Goddess Doctor

Chapter 262 Hua Yingchu, are you asking me for favor?

Concubine Dong Huanggui was not willing to let Yingchu go so easily, and said: "No matter how good an assassin's martial arts are, they can't escape the heavily guarded palace. The Junjun is afraid that he can't find the assassin, so he is trying to shirk his responsibility!"

"The concubine dare not." Yingchu said, "It's just that the fact is true, the concubine is really not strong enough."

Qiao Shuyan said: "Your Majesty, the assassin should have escaped during the chaos. If he is not caught as soon as possible, it will be even more difficult to hunt him down if he escapes from the capital."

Imperial Concubine Dong said: "This is just your speculation. If the assassin is still in the palace, wouldn't it be a waste of manpower, and it will cause panic in the entire capital."

The courtiers present also spoke one after another, and there were those who supported both sides.

Emperor Ming casually drank half a glass of wine, and said: "In that case, then search inside and outside the palace at the same time, Qi Aiqing, I will leave the outside of the palace to you, and you husband and wife should work together to find the assassin and the Buddha statue for me."

Yingchu sighed inwardly, knowing that the emperor would not let her off so easily, she was really too lazy to wade into this muddy water.

Qi Changjin was relieved instead, it was better to be able to help Ying Chu than to leave her alone.

Qiao Shuyan couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, Chang Jin is only a military commander, not good at investigating cases, and he is also in charge of the defense of the capital, so he has no skills at all..."

Before he finished speaking, Emperor Ming said: "Ai Qing is right, you and Princess Ninth will help their husband and wife together."

Qiao Shuyan: "..." Is it too late for him to take back what he just said?

Princess Yanhua's eyes slightly bent: "Yanhua would like to obey His Majesty's decree."

Concubine Dong Huanggui said: "Your Majesty, should there be a time limit for the search, so as not to drag the case on forever?"

"How long does Aifei think is good?" Emperor Ming asked with a smile.

Concubine Dong was not sure what Emperor Ming meant, so she weighed it up and asked, "What do you think of three days, Your Majesty?"

The queen said at this time: "Your Majesty, three days is too hasty. In such a short period of time, you can't even search half of the capital. I think it will take at least ten days."

"The longer the time, the less chance of solving the case," Dong Huangguifei said, "If the case cannot be solved in a short period of time, if it is delayed for a long time, even if the entire capital is turned over, it may not be useful."

The queen sneered: "What the imperial concubine said is so simple, let Taiwei Dong try to see if he can catch the assassin within three days."

"The Taiwei is naturally willing to share the emperor's worries, but the case has been handed over to General Qi, so it's not easy for the Taiwei to compete with the younger generation." Concubine Dong Huanggui said.

Emperor Ming raised his hand, stopped their argument, and said: "Then let's make a compromise and set it on the fifth day."

Concubine Dong Huanggui showed a smile on her face, there was not much difference between the fifth day and the third day, "The emperor is holy."

The queen was a little upset. The reason why she opened her mouth was just to sell Qi Changjin and his wife. She didn't care if it took five days or ten days. What she cared about was that the emperor was obviously biased towards Concubine Dong. I was a step too late and didn't save that little Liuzi's life, and now the little bitch is still copying scriptures in the Buddhist hall!

After the dinner, Emperor Ming summoned Yingchu to the imperial study.

Yingchu knelt down below for a while, and couldn't help looking up at Emperor Ming behind the dragon case. Emperor Ming was holding a vermilion pen in his hand, but he was not reviewing the memorial. A pair of sharp dragon eyes were staring at her.

Yingchu's gaze met his eyes, but she didn't avoid it, and said with a blank expression: "The emperor summoned his concubine, I don't know why?"

It wasn't that she acted recklessly, it was because the emperor's mind was unpredictable, and he couldn't please him even in fear, so he made her kneel on the ground for a long time.She simply followed her own temper.

"Hua Yingchu, how dare you look directly at Long Yan," Emperor Ming said in a tone of laughter, but a little coldly, "That's right, you have always been very courageous, even daring to do things that deceive the emperor, so it's fine to look directly at me." what."

"The concubine doesn't understand what the emperor means." Yingchu pretended to be stupid and said, even if the emperor guessed something, it was just a guess.

Emperor Ming said: "Kneel before me."

Yingchu was silent for a while, stood up, endured the numbness of her legs and walked a few steps forward, before kneeling down.

"A little further forward." Emperor Ming said.

Yingchu took a few more steps forward, reached the position that Emperor Ming was satisfied with, and knelt upright.At this moment, she could already clearly see the embroidered pattern on the emperor's dragon robe, and a smudged drop of ink on the cuff.

"I don't care about today's matter with you." Emperor Ming seemed to be in a better mood suddenly, "If the case cannot be solved after five days, I will punish you and Qi Changjin."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yingchu thanked without sincerity.

Emperor Ming saw that her face was calm, and she didn't show any anxious expression, and said: "It seems that you are very confident."

"No," Yingchu said angrily, "The concubine just doesn't cry when she sees the coffin."

Emperor Ming curled his lips together: "I see that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin, and you don't shed tears when you fall into the coffin."

She really wouldn't shed tears, she would just split the coffin and crawl out.

"Your Majesty, it's late at night." Yingchu reminded.

Emperor Ming raised his eyebrows, and across the dragon table, raised Yingchu's chin with a pen, his voice was low and dangerous: "Hua Yingchu, are you asking for favor from me?"

Knowing that the emperor was teasing her, Yingchu still couldn't help but stand on end with hairs all over his body, "The concubine didn't hear what the emperor said just now," Yingchu leaned back to avoid the pen holder, and said, "The gate of the palace is about to close, your majesty If there is no other order, the concubine will leave first."

Emperor Ming was indeed just teasing her, but seeing her cold reaction, he felt displeased.He narrowed his eyes coldly: "Hua Yingchu, how dare you ignore me!"

"The concubine has been looking directly at the emperor, and hasn't looked away for a moment." Yingchu looked at Emperor Ming solemnly and said.

Emperor Ming didn't expect her to say that at all, and after being taken aback for a while, he was actually amused, and the anger in his heart disappeared.

"Others say that you are eloquent, and they didn't blame you at all," Emperor Ming reflected on Yingchu's words, inexplicably found it pleasing to the ear, and said compassionately, "Let's be flat."

Yingchu Xie En got up, her legs were already numb, and she felt like tens of thousands of ants were biting her when she stood up, she might as well continue to kneel.

"That Tong Shangshu, I don't want to see him again." Emperor Ming stated the main purpose of summoning her.

Yingchu was a little uncertain: "What does the emperor mean?"

A cold light flashed in Emperor Ming's eyes, and said: "The person I want to kill will never be allowed to live."

Yingchu understands that the emperor wanted her to know poisonous skills and wanted her to kill Tong Shangshu without anyone noticing, so that even if Zhu Liguo's people knew the strangeness of Tong Shangshu's death, they would not be able to find any evidence.

This emperor is really no ordinary grudge!Yingchu lowered her eyes and said: "The concubine obeys the order."

When he finally walked out of the palace gate, the full moon in the night sky had almost risen to the top of his head, and the cold wind was blowing head-on, already a bit chilly to the bone.

Qi Changjin had been waiting for her outside the palace, and when she saw her come out, he took out his cloak and wrapped it around her body, and carried her onto the horse.

"The carriage is too slow, so I'll send her home." Qi Changjin said while helping her tidy up her cloak, "If you feel cold on the road, just tell me."

Yingchu knew that he wanted to take her back home to rest early, so she smiled at him: "Okay."
