Rebirth of the Abandoned Concubine: The Poison Goddess Doctor

Chapter 298 Collusion, one stick rewards one red date

In the imperial study room, Tang Zhongchen was carried to the bottom of the steps, then helped to climb up the steps, and walked into the imperial study room.

"A seat." Emperor Ming said without waiting for him to salute.

"My humble minister thanked the emperor for his grace." Tang Zhongchen sat on the chair brought by Chang Shun.His face was pale, his lips were bloodless, his shoulders were wrapped in thick bandages, and his voice was weak.

Emperor Ming asked, "How is Aiqing's injury?"

"Weichen lost a lot of blood, and fell asleep for a day before I had time to meet the emperor," Tang Zhongchen smiled wryly, "The lost blood can be replenished after a period of time, but Weichen's left shoulder was pierced by a sharp knife, which injured the bone meridian. It is said that Weichen's left arm may be disabled."

Emperor Ming frowned, and said, "Chang Shun, go pass on the Hua family and ask her to come and heal Tang Aiqing's wound."

Chang Shun took the order and went.

Tang Zhongchen was very happy, the injury that the imperial doctor could not heal, probably only He Lao and Hua Yingchu could heal in this world, He Lao had a weird temper and could not please him easily, Hua Yingchu was guarding the Empress Dowager in the palace, so he No matter how serious the injury is, I can only endure it.Now that the emperor has invited Hua Yingchu, his left arm should be saved.

"I thank the emperor for his grace." Tang Zhongchen knelt down and kowtowed.

"Pingshen, you serve me loyally, and I will never leave you alone." Emperor Ming said.

The expression of gratitude on Tang Zhongchen's face became even stronger, and he thanked him again, saying: "Your Majesty, last night, I led people to capture Chen Qi, the chief manager of the Chenjun Palace, and a dozen spies. After being caught, Chen Qi committed suicide. Yes, the leader of the spies has also escaped. The humble minister is not doing well, please the emperor to punish him."

"If you can catch the spies lurking in the capital, it is already a great achievement," Emperor Ming said, "Who are those spies?"

Tang Zhongchen said: "Those spies were very stubborn, and they refused to open their mouths after interrogating them all day and night. However, weapons and utensils from the Western Regions were found in their houses, and a few unfinished letters were found in a brazier. The fragments are written in the characters of the Western Regions. The gentleman who is proficient in the Western Regions translated the characters, except for the character Qi, which should refer to the Duke of Qi, and the rest are worthless characters."

A cold light burst out of Emperor Ming's eyes: "Western Regions!"

Tang Zhongchen said solemnly: "These people should be spies buried in the capital from the Western Regions. Qi Changjin was attacked in his family temple. It should be these people who did it. I didn't expect the king of Chenjun to have contact with them."

Emperor Ming's voice was icy cold with anger: "Northern Xinjiang, Western Regions, Li Cangze secretly colluded with them, what else I don't know about!"

Tang Zhongchen said: "Chen Qi committed suicide in fear of crime, so it is not sure whether he was ordered by the king of Chenjun, or he was a spy himself. Maybe the king of Chenjun was wronged."

Emperor Ming glanced at him coldly, and said: "Chen Qi is just a slave, without the orders of his master, what reason does he have to do such treason and beheading! Tang Aiqing, I asked you to find out the crimes of Prince Chen, not for you Say good things for him!"

Tang Zhongchen's heart trembled, and he hurriedly said: "Wei Chen arrived in time to catch Chen Qi and the others after receiving the secret report from the mysterious man, so I have some doubts about the purpose of the mysterious man. It was Wei Chen who was suspicious, and Chen Qi did such a thing." For many years, the chief manager of the palace, if there is a problem, with the shrewdness of the king of Chenjun, it is impossible not to find it, so he should have been instructed by the king of Chenjun."

"Mysterious man?" Emperor Ming narrowed his eyes, "Send someone to check his identity."

"Yes." Tang Zhongchen replied, heaving a sigh of relief.

"Continue to interrogate those spies," Emperor Ming said, "Try to track down the leader's whereabouts. I don't know what agreement the Duke of Chen has reached with the other party. He must not be allowed to escape back to the Western Regions!"

"My minister complies with the order!" Tang Zhongchen thought for a while, and said, "The palace of Chenjun was heavily surrounded by the forbidden army, but Chen Qi was able to sneak out of the palace. There must be something wrong with it."

A sneer flashed in Emperor Ming's eyes, just like there are secret passages in the imperial palace, every palace must have secret passages, even the homes of many important court officials have secret passages for escape.The reason why he besieged Li Cangze in the palace was because of the pressure from the Queen Mother and courtiers, and secondly, to give him room to move, waiting for him to show his fox tail.

"Let's leave this matter alone for now." Emperor Ming said, after all the evidence was collected, he would take Li Cangze down in one fell swoop, otherwise he would not be able to pass the empress dowager's hurdle alone.

Thinking of the empress dowager, Emperor Ming's eyes became even more gloomy. As his mother, Li Cangze might be the one who led troops into the palace and put the knife on his neck. The person she would protect was also Li Cangze, not him.

"Your Majesty," Chang Shun reported outside the door, "Your Majesty Miaoyi brought it here."

Emperor Ming restrained his thoughts and said, "Let her in."

The door was pushed open, and Yingchu walked in with her head bowed, bringing in a burst of cold air and fluttering snowflakes.

"The concubine kowtows to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." Yingchu bowed his knees and saluted, the snowflakes on his head were quickly melted by the heating in the room, and a hollow peony and coral bead hairpin in his hair was very conspicuous.

Emperor Ming recognized the jewelry as a gift from him, he was satisfied, and his expression softened: "Get up, show Tang Aiqing's injury, and make sure to keep his left arm."

Tang Zhongchen was a little flattered, but Yingchu was puzzled, did the emperor ask her to watch the injury in the imperial study?

"Yes." Confused, Yingchu immediately agreed, and said to Tang Zhongchen, "Master Tang, please stretch out your wrist."

"Thank you, Junjun." Tang Zhongchen thanked.

Yingchu felt his pulse, no wonder the emperor said he must keep his left arm, Tang Zhongchen's arm has no possibility of healing with ordinary decoction.He is the emperor's confidant, he is upright, he knows how to repay his kindness, it is a rare good thing to be kind to him.

Seeing her groaning silently, Tang Zhongchen asked nervously, "Jun Jun, I wonder if Tang's arm can be cured?"

Ying Chu looked distressed: "It's not that there is no way, it's just that it needs several rare medicinal materials, and it's a bit difficult to raise." Since you want to show favor to him, it is natural to act as if it is very difficult to treat.

Tang Zhongchen was overjoyed immediately, it was great news for him to have a cure.

"Just tell me what medicinal materials you need," Ming Emperor said, "I will let people collect them."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Tang Zhongchen's expression became more joyful, and his gratitude to the Emperor was even deeper. "The emperor's kindness to me will never be repaid by me!"

He thanked Ying Chu again and again, saying that he would definitely repay when he had the opportunity in the future.

"Tang Aiqing is injured, so go back and recuperate." Emperor Ming said.

Tang Zhongchen then resigned and was helped away.

Yingchu was also about to leave, when Emperor Ming suddenly asked, "Are you used to living in the palace these few days?"

Yingchu looked at him in surprise, if she said something she wasn't used to, would the emperor let her out of the palace? It was obviously impossible. "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern, my concubines are used to everything."

"I also feel that you are very used to it," Emperor Ming said in an unclear manner, "Concubines look for you every day, so you must have received a lot of presents."

Yingchu knelt down: "The concubine dare not, all the empresses and mistresses just care about the Empress Dowager, and there is no other meaning in telling the concubines to take good care of the Empress Dowager."

Except for a few rare herbs, she did not confiscate anything, and some of them were used on the Empress Dowager, so she can be justified.

"Really," Emperor Ming smiled, "I see that the empress dowager's complexion has improved a lot in the past few days. You have contributed a lot, and I have to give you a gift. The House of Internal Affairs has a new batch of fox skins. , what color do you like, I ordered someone to make you a fur coat."

His tone was full of kindness, all the concubines in the harem wanted to ask for it, but he took the initiative to reward Hua Yingchu and gave her a choice. Of course, this is the mighty kindness of the emperor.

Is this a reward for a sweet date with a stick?Before winter came, the old matriarch had already prepared several boxes of winter clothes for her, and Qi Changjin even went to make some high-quality leathers herself. She was not short of fur coats at all.But since he was hit with a stick, the red dates should not be in vain.

"Thank you for the reward from the emperor," Yingchu said, "Red." She has a red fox fur, Anru likes it very much, this is just a gift for her, anyway, the emperor doesn't know if she is wearing it as a gift from him.

At this time, Chang Shun's announcement came again: "Your Majesty, the Empress is asking to see you."

"Xuan." Emperor Ming said.

The queen walked in and saw Yingchu, she was startled for a moment, the eyes of the two exchanged for a moment, then the queen withdrew her gaze, bowed to Emperor Ming, and said in a serious tone: "Your Majesty, my concubine has something important to report!"

The empress went to Lenggong to interrogate Fang's matter, and Emperor Ming had already got the news.An imperceptible flash of light flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Master Hua, step back first."

Yingchu bowed and took his leave, and the little eunuch guarding the door closed the door of the imperial study, also blocking the sound from inside.

Xing Yu, who was waiting outside, immediately tied the cloak on Yingchu's body, put on gloves for her, and stuffed a warmer.

"It's snowing too much," Yingchu said worryingly, "I should have taken a soft sedan when I knew it was coming."

When Chang Shun heard it, he immediately said politely: "It's really not easy to travel in this icy and snowy place, Jun Jun wait a moment, the miscellaneous family will send someone to prepare a sedan chair to take Jun Jun back."

"Then I would like to thank the Chief Manager." Yingchu smiled gratefully.

"Your Majesty is being polite." Chang Shun said with a smile.Hua Yingchu is now a celebrity in front of the empress dowager and the emperor, it is always good to treat her better.

Yingchu looked outside, admiring the snow scene, but all her attention was in the imperial study.Not long after, she heard the sound of porcelain breaking from inside, and the corners of her lips slowly curled up.

The already solemn guards immediately stood up straighter. The eunuch guarding the gate didn't dare to rub his hands quietly to keep warm, and kept his eyes on his nose, his nose, his nose and his heart without moving.

Chang Shun was also a little uneasy, the emperor was often angry recently because of the affairs of Prince Chen, but it was hard for those who were close to him.

"Chang Shun!" The Emperor Ming's furious voice came from inside, "Prepare the sedan chair!"

Chang Shun quickly agreed, and said to his little apprentice, "Quick! Go prepare the sedan chair!"

The little eunuch rushed into the snow curtain as if his butt was burned.

Chang Shun looked at Yingchu hesitantly, and Yingchu said, "If it's inconvenient, I'll walk back by myself."

Chang Shun shook his head, and whispered: "It's not inconvenient, the miscellaneous family is just worried that the prince will be angered by the emperor if he is here."

Yingchu smiled slightly, and just as he was about to speak, the door of the imperial study room opened from the inside, and Emperor Ming walked out with his face sinking like water.
