Chapter 296
Here Zheng Wang Xiao Zhe'en breathed a sigh of relief, when he heard a "clack" of horseshoes galloping towards them, and stopped firmly outside the wooden fence.

Xiao Yanzhi turned over like a whirlwind of night purple.

He raised his hand and threw the reins of Mo Xiaolie's horse to the prisoner next to the fence, and entered the small courtyard.

This place is hidden in the green hills and sparsely populated. If he had come here in the past, Xiao Yanzhi would definitely be at ease without restraint.It's just that every time I think of the reason why Princess Zheng's concubine is unlucky and King Zheng's seclusion here, I feel sad and desolate.

But today Shengjia stopped here, he saw the majesty of Luanjia outside the courtyard and the solemn guards, and he deliberately followed the rules in every gesture.

Respectfully stepping on a gravel path, Xiao Yanzhi came to Xiao Zheen and Liu Yuanhai to salute:

"Brother Three Wang is polite."

Xiao Zheen quickly waved his hands: "Family, there is no need to deal with these polite things."

"Brother Wang was joking, etiquette cannot be discarded."

Xiao Yanzhi nodded and smiled, without any waves in his eyes, he turned around and asked Liu Yuanhai to pass on the message.

Seeing Liu Yuanhai walking away, Xiao Zhe'en dragged Xiao Yanzhi to move quickly under a big pagoda tree, with a basket of words in his heart and wanted to ask what happened.

But there was not much time, so she shook her round cheeks and asked the most important questions:

"Sixth, did you participate in the matter of the Shaolu paddock? And at this time of the epidemic, Ji'er's biological mother Fu Guiren really died?"

"I don't know if Mr. Fu is alive or dead." Xiao Yanzhi answered bluntly, "As for the matter of the sentinel deer paddock, Brother Three should ask Brother Five."

"Tsk..." Xiao Zheen was helpless, "Didn't he not come?"

"Brother Wang, how do you know he won't come?"

Speaking of this, Liu Yuanhai has already left the wooden house to invite: "My lord declares that the two princes have an audience."

"Why doesn't Lao Liu come in? Why is he kneeling at the door?"

Emperor Xiao Jingyu sat cross-legged in front of the short table, wearing only a snail-colored cyan uniform with eight dragon patterns, and the two-dragon opera bead ornament on Yishan's crown was slightly shining with precious light.

He was scooping the japonica rice porridge in the bowl, glanced at Duan Lin and Xie Bi who were kneeling in front of him, and then set his eyes on Xiao Yan's shoulder who had been hanging his head silently:
"The rice that the third brother planted by himself is good to eat, let me eat some together."

"Thank you, Brother Huang, for your kindness, my younger brother has already had breakfast."

As soon as Xiao Yanzhi finished speaking, Xiao Jingyu's eyes darkened for a moment, and soon returned to their original state.

Liu Yuanhai lightly fanned the sandalwood smoke from the incense burner, and said at the right time: "My lord, His Royal Highness King Yan came from the southern outskirts of the city. He had dealt with the diseased patients, perhaps because he was afraid that the sickness would infect the dragon's body."

"Forget it, up to you."

After Xiao Jingyu finished speaking, he ate up the porridge at the bottom of the bowl, picked up the handkerchief and wiped his mouth indiscriminately, then signaled Liu Yuanhai to watch tea.

Then he got up and walked in front of Xie Bi: "Didn't I already decree to let Hao Dashan, the envoy of the Taiyuan Hospital, enter the palace? The Tai Tuo is old, kneeling like this, if he kneels badly, won't he delay the envoy from doing his business? Get up." .”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for pardoning the old minister for the crime of dispelling the epidemic."

Xie Bi bowed again with grief on his face, and was supported by Liu Yuanhai to stand up:
"Fortunately, Lord Duan promptly reminded Lord Duan of the outbreak of the epidemic. If it wasn't for this, the capital would be in danger, and the Great Zhou Dynasty would be in danger! The old minister has the courage to ask His Majesty to praise Lord Duan and those who have made great contributions to the eradication of the epidemic."

It should have moved the listener to receive the punishment for himself while asking for the reward for others.

But not only did Duan Lin not accept this love, even Xiao Zhe'en found it harsh to hear it.

This morning when it was about to be ugly, Duan Lin had just stepped into his small courtyard with someone, and was about to report the epidemic, when Xie Bi followed closely behind and cried in front of the Holy Majesty.

With tears in her eyes, she said that her daughter, Concubine Xie Gui, had owed the emperor's kindness. Not only did she fail to keep the dragon fetus in her womb, but she might not even be able to conceive an heir in the future.

The important matter of the emperor's heir, the Holy One naturally attaches great importance to it.

When I asked why, I found out that it was Concubine Xie Guifei who contracted the epidemic, and when she was critically ill, she took the medicine of tiger and wolf prescribed by the imperial physician Lu Yungui, which hurt her body.

The Holy One was furious and smashed half of the things in his wooden house, and ordered him to be taken to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for trial on the charge of "quack medicine for harming the country".

When Duan Lin reported the epidemic situation again, he was already robbed of the credit, but because Lu Yungui was exonerated, Long Yan was furious.

But although Xiao Zhe'en had been far away from court disputes for many years, he had stumbled with Xie Bi before, and he knew that although this person was old but very smart, he was used to confusing people.

Brother Huang also cares about saving face, even if he thinks back and thinks that Lu Yungui is innocent, he will never change his order and let him out.

No matter how many words there are, he will not speak at this time.

But Duan Lin was as firm as a pine, and during Xiao Jingyu's silence, he began to add fuel to the fire again.

"Xie Taifu's words are wrong!"

Unable to understand Xie Bi's hypocrisy, Duan Lin suppressed the anger in his chest, and replied loudly:
"The next official emphasizes once again that the origin of the epidemic was first discovered by Lu Yungui, the imperial doctor of the Taiyuan Hospital. Lu Yunli, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, reported the details. The two of them contributed a lot. The veterans absolutely dare not claim the credit, let alone accept Taifu Xie to ask for rewards on their behalf. .”

After finishing speaking, he raised his eyes and looked up at Tianyan: "As for rewarding meritorious deeds after the epidemic, according to the veteran's opinion, Lu Yungui, who is on trial at this time, must remember the meritorious deeds!"

Unexpectedly, these words made Xie Bi very sad again, and he turned around tremblingly and said:
"Lord Duan's words are really poking at the heart of the old minister, but you don't know that your daughter, Concubine Yi, has Princess Chenghuan at her knees, but my daughter will live alone because of Imperial Physician Lu! You and I are both fathers, why do you want to do this?" like"

Deep in love, he cupped his hands and knelt down again: "Your Majesty!! The old minister has lost a son and a daughter, and now the only daughter has to suffer so much. Please also ask Your Majesty to recite Min Min's mother, your righteous aunt Yong'an Dachang!" For the sake of the princess, give her a way out."

"Thank you, Grand Tutor! Your Majesty is in front of you, and there are two other princes by your side, so don't just sell yourself to your elders! You still have to use the name of the eldest princess to coerce the king's heart!"

Duan Lin stopped Xie Bi's emotional offensive, and his calm voice was devoid of emotion in front of several compassionate Buddha statues:
"Lu Yungui was first detained in the imperial concubine Lingmei Xie's palace for many days, and was cut off from the outside world. Now, after treating the illness and saving the patient, you have sent him to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. The old minister does not want to label you as a framer of Zhongliang, but dare to ask the Grand Tutor , to the person who saved Ling Ai's life, why would he repay his kindness and revenge?"

As soon as the word "report" fell, Xie Bi looked sideways at Duan Lin.

The pupils under his long eyebrows stared straight at Duan Lin's thin and hunched body, and his expression suddenly turned cold: "So... Mrs. Duan might as well say, if Concubine Xie really detains Lu Yun in the palace, so that he can get along with him With the outside world cut off, how did Lu Yunli know about the epidemic and how did he get the prescription?"

"." Duan Lin knew that it was Yao Songming who rescued a woman who was infected with the epidemic at the mass grave, so he learned everything.

According to Lu Yunli's letter, nine out of ten the woman was the prince's biological mother Fu Guiren, and the empress ordered her to be thrown into a mass grave.

And there are rumors that Fu Guiren was also poisoned to death by Lu Taiyi's violent medicine.

Although the truth behind it is unknown, it is obvious that someone is fishing in troubled waters.If he said that Mr. Fu was in the Ministry of Punishment at this time, it would not only damage the reputation of the royal family, but also implicate the empress.

One is the birth mother of the prince, and the other is the adoptive mother of the prince.

If the two are dealt with, the one who will benefit in the end is not the old man who lost his child in front of him?

This old thing went around and around, so it turned out to be this idea!
Seeing that Duan Lin had nothing to say, Xie Bi began to be aggressive: "Master Duan, let me listen to you!"

When the two looked at each other, Liu Yuanhai had already presented the teacup, and the emperor Xiao Jingyu sat back in front of the short table with a blank expression on his face, and lightly lifted the porcelain cover, the fragrance of jasmine instantly filled the whole wooden house.

He only raised his hand to signal the person in front of him to stand up: "The two lovers have been arguing for a long time, let's drink some hot tea, today I have prepared Duan Qing's favorite Bitan Piaoxue."

Seeing that King Zheng Xiao Zhe'en was still standing there wiping his sweat, he chuckled lightly and said, "Don't be so rigid about etiquette, youngest, give me a seat and drink tea."

Looking up and seeing Xiao Yanzhi still kneeling at the door, he also called Liu Yuanhai a little shorter: "Sixth Emperor likes to be there, so I'll wait here first, and help my staff with the marriage of Urenge's son later."

"Your brother obeys the order." Xiao Yanzhi thanked him for the tea, and sat down quietly again.

Unexpectedly, Madam Xie couldn't stop drinking tea, so facing Duan Lin's serious tea tasting, he began to tease and sarcasm:
"If you talk about this method of smoking tea across flowers, it's still an elegant game that His Royal Highness Zheng Wang was thinking about when he was in his prime. Sir Duan prides himself on being noble, so how can he fall in love with such frivolous and obsequious things?"
