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

Seeing that Chu Lian didn't seem to understand her words clearly, Yao Suyu realized that she was speaking too hastily, she turned back and brought the bowl of melted spice water to Chu Lian.

Chu Lian sniffed lightly, but found nothing unusual. Instead, he felt that the fragrance smelled pleasant, which was very good: "This fragrance is more natural than ordinary fragrances. It should help sleep."

But he knew that Yao Suyu couldn't just give him the spices, so he asked doubtfully, "But what's wrong with this fragrance?"

"This is the spice that the third concubine sent to Mrs. Li."

Yao Suyu looked serious, "Perhaps the third concubine was concerned about Mrs. Li's illness, so she sent someone to send this spice, but this spice is not owned by the Central Plains, and it is harmful to the patient. Now I even start to doubt whether Mrs. Li's illness is man-made. "

If it is man-made, even if the laparotomy is performed, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles in the future.

"Your Majesty Li has a high position and authority. He is tactful. He doesn't make enemies easily. Apart from marrying the daughter of the third concubine, there is nothing to criticize. I really don't know who else will be here at the moment. Assassinate Mrs. Li behind her back."

From Yao Suyu's words, Chu Lian felt that the matter was difficult.

Mr. Li is an important minister of the imperial court, and there are countless people who interact with him. Various forces are intertwined, and the capital city is a pool of muddy water. It is a big project to investigate.

If all the manpower of Dongchang is put on Mr. Li, Wei Gaojin will get the news soon.

When Chu Lian and Yao Suyu were discussing how to investigate this matter, Zhuifeng hurried into the yard, "My lord, the emperor declares you to enter the palace."

"Announce me at this time?"

Chu Lian just came out of the palace, there is no major event, what urgent need to enter the palace again?
"The fish is hooked."

Zhui Feng said succinctly: "My subordinates found out that after you left the palace, Mr. Wei brought two imperial physicians into the palace, probably to reveal the previous affairs in the village."

Hearing this news, Yao Suyu wondered: "People nowadays are so risky about their lives? How dare you cooperate with Wei Gaojin when you know that your wealth and life are in my hands?"

"Falling into the hands of the East and West Second Factory will make life worse than death. Wei Gaojin is also a good hand at manipulating people's hearts. I am not surprised that the imperial doctor turned against him."

Since the emperor sent a summons, Chu Lian didn't delay any longer, and rushed to the palace with his legs lifted.

Yao Suyu wanted to follow, but was ordered by Chu Lian to stay at home.

In the imperial study room in the palace, the atmosphere was heavy.

There were two suns kneeling on the ground, not even daring to lift their heads.

And Wei Gaojin stood aside with a flattering smile.

The emperor was sitting behind the table, holding a string of Buddhist beads tribute from the South China Sea in his hands, and kept twisting them.

His mind was disturbed, making it difficult for people to guess what he was thinking at this moment.

This is what Chu Lian saw when he stepped into the imperial study.

He greeted the emperor directly, but knelt on the ground for a long time, but still did not see the emperor to let him get up, Wei Gaojin even said sarcastic remarks with a proud face: "Our family thought that Master Chu was at most taking his wife out to play and relax. I think Mr. Chu's courage is getting bigger and bigger! What a village, when our family arrived, it was already reduced to ashes!
Later, our family inquired carefully from the imperial physician who came back, and only then did we learn that your lord has such great authority, that one sentence killed 180 people! "

Chu Lian didn't know how much Wei Gaojin had heard from the two imperial physicians, but seeing him proudly revealing these things, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

It seems that these two imperial physicians are quite smart and know what to say and what not to say.

At this time, the two imperial physicians kneeling on the ground also asked the emperor to avenge the wronged people and punish Chu Lian in unison.

Hearing the imperial physician's words, Chu Lian felt irony in his heart.

In order to consolidate the imperial power and eliminate dissidents, the current emperor has done a lot in the early years of confiscating his family and imprisoning ten clans. What is the life of 180 people worth?
The hawks and dogs from the No. 180 Plant of Raising Things worked for him, and he killed more than [-] people overtly and covertly?

However, he still had a look of deep regret on his face.

"I want to hear what Chu Lian has to say about this matter."

Yue Zongsheng knew that the East and West factories were playing games with each other, and he didn't want any one to become big, but now that Wei Gaojin got Chu Lian's handle, he just happened to beat Chu Lian.

He squinted his eyes, looked at Chu Lian whose face was as calm as water, "Aiqing, what do you say?"

"That's true."

Chu Lian responded calmly, but it aroused Wei Gaojin's vigilance.

Wei Gaojin looked at Chu Lian suspiciously. Chu Lian was not someone to be defeated. He admitted his fault so quickly this time, maybe he was hiding something.

"However, if this matter happens again, I will still take the lives of these 180 people."

Chu Lian's clear conscience aroused Yue Zongsheng's curiosity, "Chu Qing, do you know what you're talking about? If Yushi knows this, he will definitely read it for you!"

"For one thing, if this village is infected with the disease, if it spreads to other places, it will only cause more casualties. In this case, kill 180 people to save tens of thousands of people... May I ask what will Mr. Wei choose?"

Chu Lian knew that it was Wei Gaojin who put on small shoes for himself in front of the emperor, and the emperor might as well have used this to offend himself, so he only pointed the finger at Wei Gaojin.

He glanced at Wei Gaojin coldly, and said again: "Secondly, the villagers have turned against the imperial court because of the improper inoculation of cowpox by the imperial doctor, which resulted in the death of a three-month-old baby. If I don't kill, do I wait for these villagers Rebellion?"

"This is too biased. What can a group of villagers do?"

Wei Gaojin finally caught the loophole in Chu Lian's words, he smiled triumphantly: "I have met the Lord of the Kingdom, and the army is strong, even if these 180 people revolt, how can they compare with the well-trained army?

Also, Mrs. Chu, don’t forget that Madam Ling was the one who proposed vaccination to the Holy Majesty. Are you saying that your wife made a wrong decision? "

"I know Lord Wei has always disliked me, because you and I are the two sharpest swords in His Majesty's hands."

Chu Lian's face remained calm, "There are some things I don't want to say, just because I respect Mr. Wei, you are the master of the West Factory, and have the same status as me in the East Factory. Why do I have to kill these 180 people? Master Wei, don't you understand?"

Yue Zongsheng became interested when he saw that Chu Lian's words were implying that he had no choice but to kill.

The East and West factories have different ways of doing things, and Yue Zongsheng knows that Chu Lian's way of doing things is more organized than Wei Gaojin.

Wei Gaojin is just a vicious dog he raised, while Chu Lian has the talent of a general.

Furious by Chu Lian's words, the fake beard was shaking. Wei Gaojin sneered, "If our family knew, why bother to ask the emperor to join you? By ordering you to go to the Imperial Study Room today, it is already lenient to you. It's good for you! Not only did you not Appreciate it, but beat him up instead! Chu Lian, don't toast or eat fine wine!"
