Nine-thousand-year-old palm flower is not easy to mess with

Chapter 163
Wei Gaojin wanted to know what was going on in the third prince's mansion now.

But the people who strictly guarded the third prince's mansion were sent by the emperor, Wei Gaojin didn't dare to spy too much, so he monitored the whereabouts of everyone in Mr. Li's mansion every day, hoping to find out something from Li's mansion.

However, he didn't find out what was going on with the third prince. Instead, he dug out the secret that Mr. Li had guarded against for so long.

When Wei Gaojin heard that Mrs. Li had a strange illness, he suddenly realized:
"It's no wonder Master Li has been so close to Chu Lian during this time, so it was his idea!"

"I heard that Mrs. Li is pregnant with a ghost. Could it be that Yao Suyu has a solution?"

Wei Gaojin didn't answer, but instead asked, "Is your news accurate?"

"Should be close to ten villains, this news is obtained from Mrs. Li's dowry mother.

I don't know what kind of taboo this old woman committed. After serving Mrs. Li for most of her life, she was sent to a village outside the city at the end of her life.

Mr. Li, these servants in the mansion are very strict with their mouths, only this old lady leaked her words, and what she said should not be false. "

Wei Gaojin snorted coldly, what kind of taboo did he commit, isn't it because of his loose mouth?

It seems that civil servants are civil servants after all, with a soft heart.

He couldn't even keep his master's secret. If such a servant was by his side, his tongue would have been cut off long ago, leaving him to fend for himself.

"You don't know, Yao Suyu actually has a lot of background, she is the queen of Miaojiang saintess, and it is said that she can witchcraft.

Master Li probably wanted to use Yao Suyu's hand to get rid of the ghost in Mrs. Li's belly. "

The servant who inquired about the news trembled at the mention of the word ghost: "If this matter of your lord gets out, I am afraid that the status of the third prince will not be guaranteed."

He will be completely kicked out of the ranks of seizing the heir.

Wei Gaojin was thoughtful, among the grown-up princes, Wei Gaojin also had a tendency in his heart.

It's just that Wei Gaojin is the emperor, the one who supported him with one hand, so on the surface, Wei Gaojin must be a pure and lonely minister, and it seems that he will not stand in line with any prince.

But in fact, who would not leave a way out for themselves?

Now the Holy Majesty is over half a hundred years old and seems to be in good health, but Wei Gaojin knows that the Holy Majesty has been secretly taking pills.

This is a sign of poor health. Once the emperor and courtiers, Wei Gaojin must choose the next emperor in advance, so that he can continue to be in charge of the West Factory in a safe and stable manner.

"You go down first. Don't let the third person know about this matter. If you leak a word, be careful that you will lose this thing on your neck." Wei Gaojin threatened in a cold voice.

The subordinate nodded in agreement, and retreated tremblingly.

In the middle of the night, Wei Gaojin wrote a secret letter and tied it to the pigeon's leg.

The carrier pigeon flapped its wings twice and flew out.

Things in this world that spread faster than rumors should be rumors.

On the second day, somehow, as if suddenly, the streets and alleys were talking about the fact that the wife of the Minister of Rites was pregnant with a ghost.

Yao Suyu has been studying hard for the past few days, studying medical books and never going out. It was the little maid in the house who talked about it. Yao Suyu heard it, and Yao Suyu was shocked:
"What did you just say?"

Because Yao Suyu usually takes care of them loosely, when these little maids are working, they will gossip casually. Now when Yao Suyu asks about it, they are not too afraid, and they honestly say:

"The servants heard about it from Uncle Zhao, who is in charge of the purchase in the back kitchen. Now it is rumored that the wife of the Minister of Rites is pregnant with a ghost, and the servants are talking about what to do."

Hearing this, Yao Suyu was struck by lightning.

How can this be so?

Hasn't this matter been kept a secret?
Even if there is a rumor of a strange disease, it is better than rumors of a ghost pregnancy. This kind of rumor is too lethal.

Seeing Yao Suyu's face suddenly changed, the little maid was inevitably a little scared, and asked tremblingly:
"Ma'am, did I say something wrong?"

"It's okay, it has nothing to do with you, just keep working!"

Yao Suyu casually comforted her, and then hurried to the front yard. Just as Wu Gou was there, Yao Suyu immediately ordered:

"Quickly go out and find out, Mr. Li, why is the story of the family spread everywhere? Is there something wrong?"

Wu Gou immediately followed suit, turned around and left the house.

Yao Suyu was in a hurry in the room and kept pacing in circles. After a while, Chu Lian and Wu Gou came back together.

"Have you heard about what happened outside?" Yao Suyu rushed over and asked Chu Lian.

"I heard that the news spread extremely fast, there must be a pusher behind it." Chu Lian's face was dark, like dark clouds overwhelming the city.

"Who is it? How did the news get out?" Yao Suyu dared to swear to the sky that it was definitely not from her side.

When she went to get Mrs. Li's pulse before, Yao Suyu went there alone. After she came back from Li's residence, she never revealed a word to the servants around her.

The servant girls in the backyard only knew that Yao Suyu was studying hard recently, but they didn't know what she was doing for it.

Not to mention Chu Lian's side, the fence around him is tighter than anywhere else.

Seeing Yao Suyu's anxious expression, Chu Lian couldn't help comforting him:
"Don't worry, Mr. Li has been an official in the court for so many years, so he is naturally not a fool. Maybe there is a mistake on his side. He should not blame you regardless."

"I hope so, the main reason is that the timing of this incident was too coincidental, as soon as I knew about it on the front foot, it was rumored all over the sky on the back foot.

Mr. Li might be thinking about the past half a year, and no news has been leaked. Why did this matter come to light after I got in touch with Mrs. Li? He would definitely suspect me subconsciously. "

Yao Suyu was mainly worried about this.

But Chu Lian still didn't think so, "This is not in line with Master Li's logic of thinking about things. If I were Master Li, I would only think about whoever has vested interests, then whoever is the suspect."

After all, it won't do Yao Suyu any good to make a fuss about this matter.

"Then what should we do now?" Yao Suyu was at a loss for a moment.

"Don't worry, just wait and see what happens. You can continue to study medical books, wait for Mr. Li to come to you and agree to the operation, and then you can prepare for the next thing.

These rumors outside have nothing to do with you, so you don't need to worry about it. "

Chu Lian sensibly helped Yao Suyu arrange the follow-up matters.

Yao Suyu calmed down slowly, but Mr. Li's house was in a mess.

In the study, Mr. Li, who has always been gentle and refined, patted the table fiercely:
"Go and check for me! Find out where the source of this rumor is? Don't miss any of the maids and servants in the mansion. Find out what they have been doing these days? Who did you meet?"
