Chapter 236
The people in the capital are all talking about what happened yesterday.The kidnapping of Xie Muyan by Mu Jiarui can be said to have become a good topic for them to talk about when they are bored.

"Yesterday, I saw that Prince Rui's Mansion was on fire! I didn't expect that the fifth princess had been trapped in Prince Rui's mansion for a long time! If the fifth prince hadn't gone in to fight the fire, he happened to meet the fifth princess. The fifth princess is still missing!" A woman with a vegetable basket on her arm said excitedly when she saw someone.

On the street, people can often be seen discussing the affairs of Prince Rui's Mansion in whispers, and there are also many speculations.There were different opinions for a while, and perhaps only the person involved knew the ins and outs of the matter.

In the palace in spring, peach blossoms are in full bloom, with a delicate beauty.But at this time, no one has the mood to appreciate it.

Sitting in the imperial study, Mu Jiaci looked at the two brothers in front of him, his face was full of anger, but for a while, he couldn't say anything.

"Your Majesty, when I led the troops to fight the fire, I not only saw my missing princess under surveillance in the courtyard, but even found a corpse that had begun to rot or was still fresh in the courtyard where she was."

Ignoring Mu Jiarui's angry eyes looking at him, Mu Jiayu continued to speak indifferently, "Later, my concubine told me that Lord Rui locked up many people who knew how to make medicine. She fell down after working hard day and night. If it wasn't for her special status, she would have already died in Huangquan like everyone else!"

"That's because Xie Muyan said that she needed a corpse for her medicine, so I found it for her! Your Majesty, please enlighten me!"

Listening to Mu Jiayu's words, Mu Jiarui immediately realized that he had been tricked by Xie Muyan.His heart sank, and he knelt down on one knee, his sincere eyes also looked in the direction of Mu Jiaci.

Mu Jiaci's brows were deeply furrowed, and his eyes kept moving between Mu Jiayu and Mu Jiarui.It seems to be wondering who is more reliable in what they say.

"As far as I know, the princess only uses medicinal herbs when refining medicinal materials. It is understandable to ask the emperor to find some precious medicinal materials. Now I would like to ask the emperor to tell you what kind of medicine it is. , so that you can go to great lengths to find some corpses?"

Mu Jiayu was already prepared.When Mu Jiarui opened his mouth to explain, he had already thought of a coping strategy.The moment Mu Jiarui finished speaking, he quickly interjected, not giving Mu Jiarui a chance to respond.

"Of course it is..." Mu Jiarui opened his mouth to tell the truth, but suddenly remembered that the medicine he wanted Xie Muyan to concoct was used to murder Mu Jiaci's life.Naturally, Mu Jiaci couldn't let Mu Jiaci know about this kind of medicine!

His voice stopped abruptly, and the hands hanging by his side also clenched tightly into fists.

Seeing that he couldn't explain why, Mu Jiaci's frown became tighter and tighter, and his heart was already slightly inclined to Mu Jiayu.His gaze then fell on Mu Jiayu, and Mu Jiayu also took this opportunity to cup his hands towards Mu Jiaci, "Your Majesty, this time the concubine can be said to have been frightened. Please, Your Majesty, please, Handle it fairly!"

"That's natural." Mu Jiaci narrowed his eyes, snorted coldly, and looked in Mu Jiarui's direction with his cold eyes.The words of disposition slowly came out from his mouth, "The order continues, Prince Rui kidnapped the fifth concubine for his own selfish desires, and hurt the lives of innocent people. , without my permission, you are not allowed to go half a step out of Prince Rui's Mansion, as a punishment!"

It is said that the most ruthless emperor's family.Mu Jiaci was obviously still having a drink with Mu Jiarui a few days ago, but this time he didn't give Mu Jiarui any chance to explain, so he sent his subordinates to draft an order.What Mu Jiarui did without telling him has already made him scruples.This time, although he still turned towards Mu Jiarui slightly, and punished Mu Jiarui only moderately, but he still made Mu Jiarui feel that the previous favors no longer existed.

"Fifth Emperor Brother, do you have any objection to my handling of this?"

Mu Jiaci saw that the most powerful eunuch beside him had left in a hurry, and then turned his gaze to Mu Jiayu, and a majestic aura radiated from him.

"Going back to the emperor, I have no objection."

Mu Jiayu knelt down on one knee, and a loud voice came from his mouth, and he put away the complicated look in his eyes.

Even though Mu Jiarui was not given a heavier punishment, Mu Jiayu also understood that the discovery of a few corpses of ordinary people in the fire was just a trivial matter for Mu Jiaci, and it was naturally impossible to issue more severe punishments. penalty.

He squinted at Mu Jiarui, who was trying to suppress the turmoil in his heart, and bid farewell to Mu Jiarui.

Turning his head to look at Mu Jiayu who was striding away, Mu Jiarui took a deep breath, and finally kowtowed to Mu Jiaci, and a deep voice also came from his mouth, "Mr., thank you Lord Long En. "

Mu Jiaci waved his hand, indicating that Mu Jiarui can also go down.Hearing the footsteps getting farther and farther away, and finally disappeared, he sighed and closed his eyes tightly.The eunuch behind him immediately walked behind him when he saw this, pressed his tender fingers on his temples, and massaged him with moderate strength.

Feeling the comfortable feeling coming from his head, Mu Jiaci's brows that were originally furrowed slowly relaxed at this moment.He relaxed and leaned on the back of the dragon chair.He was about to take a good rest, but it was as if God had destined him not to have a good day, but after a while, a court lady hurried over.

"Your majesty, it's bad! The empress, she... I'm afraid the fetus in her womb will be lost!"

The maid in pink dress was stopped by the guards outside the imperial study before entering the imperial study.She knelt down outside the imperial study room, and the crying voice reached Mu Jiaci's ears.

Mu Jiaci's originally closed eyes suddenly opened.He had very few heirs in the few years since he came to power, and up to now, only the queen has conceived such a child.

"If the child is lost, what's the use of telling me! What did the imperial doctor say?!" Mu Jiarui stood up and walked quickly towards the queen's bedroom.Seeing this, the palace lady hurriedly followed, and at the same time, she was talking about the Queen's situation quickly.

"Your Majesty was fine at first, and she said that the incense that Concubine Hui sent yesterday smelled very good, so I asked the maid to light it up. Who knows, when the Empress Empress smelled that smell, she said that her stomach hurts, and now... It’s so popular! The maid who served the empress together with the slaves has already gone to the imperial hospital to ask for an imperial doctor!"

Although the words were extremely brief, the court lady had already told the general situation, and even subtly drew out the object of suspicion.

Mu Jiaci narrowed his eyes, and a cold light flashed across his eyes.He turned his head slightly, and ordered to the guard beside him, "Go and invite Concubine Hui."

The guard left as ordered, and Mu Jiaci also quickened his pace, walking towards the queen in three steps at a time.

"How is the empress now?" He asked impatiently as soon as he stepped into the bedroom.The imperial physicians who were discussing countermeasures together knelt down in fear when they saw him.

"Reporting to the emperor, now the empress is pregnant with the emperor's son... the situation is not optimistic..."

The person in charge of the imperial hospital walked up to Mu Jiaci on his knees, his gray goatee trembling because of his body trembling, and his voice trembling even more.

He has been an imperial physician for many years, so he naturally understands how important the child in the queen's womb is to the emperor.He was about to kowtow to ask Mu Jiaci to spare them, but he heard Mu Jiaci's cold, ruthless and angry words resounding above their heads.

"What are you doing kneeling? Why don't you hurry up and think of a way? If something happens to the queen and the fetus in her womb, I want your entire imperial hospital to be buried with her!"

Almost all the imperial doctors, when they heard his words, even though they were ordered to stand up, their bodies softened involuntarily, and some even almost fell back to the ground.Eyes asking for help were also cast towards the person in charge.

A few drops of cold sweat emerged from the foreheads of the imperial doctors.Just when they were nervously planning to continue discussing the prescription, they heard the voice of one of the imperial physicians sounding anxiously.

"Your Majesty, I just heard from the public a few days ago that the fifth concubine is proficient in medicine, and there are almost no diseases that cannot be cured. The ability of the ministers is limited, and I am afraid that I missed the empress's condition. We can only temporarily stabilize the empress's condition. It is not as good as you Taking advantage of this period of time to call the fifth princess into the palace, maybe there is still a glimmer of life."

After hearing his words, the other imperial physicians couldn't help giving him a thumbs up in their hearts.

Diverting the emperor's attention is really a good way to protect yourself!As long as they keep the fetus during this period of time, when Xie Muyan comes, no matter whether he can be cured or not, he will not take his anger on them.

"If something happened to the queen before the fifth sibling came, I'll take you as a questioner!"

Mu Jiaci made a quick decision.He turned his head away, and with just a wink, the guards behind him understood what he needed to do, and immediately performed lightness kung fu, but within a short while, he disappeared from everyone's sight.

All the famous imperial physicians felt a sudden relaxation in their hearts.They quickly wrote the prescription, and ordered the eunuchs in the palace to rush to the imperial hospital to grab the medicine.At this time, Mu Jiaci had already lost the mind to deal with government affairs. He entered the queen's bedroom, looked at her pale face, and couldn't help holding her hands in distress.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Hui is here."

After a while, an eunuch stepped forward and whispered in Mu Jiaci's ear.
