The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

1133 Chapter 22 Conspiracy of Each Other ([-])
In the next few days, fewer and fewer people went to the imperial study room to kneel and petition for the empress, and on the fourth day, there was only one speaker, Master Zhao.

Xiao Jun stood in front of the window, looking at the lonely figure under the steps of the imperial study, and couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

Fufeng saw the emperor's thoughts, and asked in a low voice: "The ministers were so determined at the beginning, but after only three days, they all disappeared? Doesn't the emperor think this is a bit strange?"

"Of course it's strange. This incident seems to be for the deceased empress, but it is actually aimed at the imperial concubine, so they have no reason to give up so soon. There must be some unknown secrets in it. Let's find out what's going on?"

The emperor turned around and went to the East Nuan Pavilion, and ordered Fuquan to say: "Someone drag Mr. Zhao down, this old stubborn donkey really annoys me to death."

Fufeng followed the emperor to the East Nuan Pavilion, and asked again: "Your Majesty, you said that the ministers calmed down so quickly, does it have something to do with Lord Mu and Lord Xie?"

The emperor sat on the warm kang, tapped the corner of the table habitually with one hand and thought: "If it was really the two of them, I don't think it's strange, but it's not that they persuaded everyone to go back so quickly. It's so easy, after all, this is a battle between two factions, the people on Concubine Ning's side should not compromise so easily, so what other reasons can there be?"

Fu Feng pondered and said: "If it wasn't for being caught by someone, it must be that Master Mu and Concubine Ning had some kind of deal in private. However, Master Mu has not entered the palace these days, and no one has come out from Concubine Ning's side. Gong, what agreement can they reach?"

The emperor couldn't figure it out for a while, frowned and said in thought: "I'm also surprised, why is the imperial concubine in trouble, Xie Jinxuan and Mu Jingzhi seem to have agreed, and neither of them speak out to defend, if they don't have an idea, so what?" Will you stand by and watch? It seems that among these people, only Mr. Zhao is upright and stubborn, and he doesn't have other plans."

What the emperor meant was that this Mr. Zhao may not be a member of the Ning family even though he was bewitched by others. Kneel down here.

Before the emperor finished speaking, he heard someone shouting outside: "Your Majesty, if the empress is ordered to die by the emperor, then she deserves her death; The minister has nothing to say, but the empress can't die under the coercion of the imperial concubine, forcing the mother of the country to death is an unforgivable capital crime, I beg the emperor to severely punish the imperial concubine and set the rules of the palace!"

Fuquan came in, wiping his sweat profusely, and replied, "Your Majesty, that Mr. Zhao was dragged down, but came back again. Look at this..."

The emperor ordered impatiently: "Then drive him out of the palace, I don't want to see him now."

Fu Quan hurriedly responded, went out and sent a few young eunuchs, dragged him to the gate of the palace, but Master Zhao wanted to come back and beg again, but was stopped by the two young eunuchs who were serving by the empress's side down.

The two little father-in-laws tried to persuade him for a long time, but he knocked him down with a slap, and angrily reprimanded: "You dog slave, don't think that I don't know that you two came to dissuade you two under the orders of the imperial concubine." My lord, I tell you, if the emperor does not investigate this matter and avenges the empress, even if I die, I will not let that seductive woman conceive my grand gangster."

Seeing that he didn't listen to persuasion, the two little eunuchs were also annoyed by him, so they followed Xiao Yinzi's order before, without saying a word, hugged Mr. Zhao tightly and dragged him out of the palace.

If this was normal, the two little eunuchs might not be able to subdue him, but he knelt in front of the imperial study room for the past few days, and his body really couldn't take it anymore, so he was dragged out of the palace forcibly. Into the carriage.

Mr. Zhao was cursing, exhausted, and let the coachman take him back home, but it was a coincidence that the horse pulling the cart was frightened and galloped all the way, turned him out of the cart and broke his leg. Within a few days, someone spread the news that Master Zhao met a confused doctor, took the wrong medicine and died of it.

Hearing the words coming from outside, Qingchen only smiled coldly and said: "If even the people around the queen can't persuade him, then he really wants to kill himself. From the looks of it, he is still a clean and honest official. Honestly, it's fine if you can persuade him to go back, but I didn't expect him to be so ungrateful, if he kneels down like this, my reputation and future will be ruined in his hands."

Yun Lan also sighed: "This person is really confused. Since the empress has asked the people around the queen to persuade him, then he should borrow the slope to get off the donkey. It is not shameful to leave like this, but who knows that this is the case? He doesn't know how to advance or retreat. Even though he acted honestly and had nothing to catch, this stupidity was enough to kill him."

Annoyed, Qingchen picked up the fan on the table, kept fanning the wind and said, "It's fine if I lose the bet, and more importantly, if this continues, everything I have done before will be in vain. If things get serious and the two factions fight, maybe even my brother and the Mu family will be implicated by me.

You have also seen that among the people kneeling outside the imperial study room, none of them are members of the Ning family or in-laws. Concubine Ning is also avoiding suspicion, that is to say, their power is far from being as simple as we see.

Mr. Zhao's stupidity and stubbornness are a knife that wants to kill Ben Gong. He dragged his leg and wanted to come to the palace to make trouble. Because of him, my brother and the Mu family could be involved in that unknown risk! "

Yun Lan saw that her face was flushed with anger, and her emotions were a little turbulent, so she hurriedly persuaded her in a warm voice: "What the empress said is that since the matter is over, the empress should stop being angry. Shu Xuan has always been careful in his work. Will not leave any clues, in front of outsiders, the empress will just pretend that she doesn't know anything."

Qingchen still said with some uneasiness: "His death will definitely arouse the emperor's suspicion, let Shu Xuan not show up again during this period, let's talk about it after the matter has passed."

Yun Lan hurriedly responded, "Your servant knows, Shu Xuan has been with the son for many years, and he does things properly, so don't worry, empress."

Qing Chen was right. Xiao Jun was indeed suspicious of Mr. Zhao's death. The emperor sent Fu Feng to investigate the matter secretly. After Mr. Zhao left the palace, his horse was attacked and frightened halfway, and then he was thrown out of the carriage, and Mr. Zhao was seriously injured.

And the doctor who treated Master Zhao tampered with his medicine a few days later and poisoned him to death. His subordinates also found the medical center later, but the doctor disappeared. The side found his body, which was drowned, and there was no trace of struggle or fight on his body. His subordinates guessed that he might have been thrown into the river and drowned after being set in a sleeping hole. "
