I can't afford to mess with the concubine doctor

Chapter 269 Methods
"Heavenly reincarnation, brother Prince...he finally waited for this day." Queen Beili did not continue, but changed the subject, "From ancient times to the present, there are many emperors in Northern Li who have the heart to annex the Central Plains, but But no one has ever succeeded, this is God's will, I will carefully analyze the interests and interests with the emperor, but... the road to succession is extremely dangerous, if you are not careful, you will end up in pieces, are you ready? "

Aiwujiwu, Empress Beili has too much affection for the first prince, so she will naturally care about Leng Yuanxun's comfort.

"Don't worry, aunt, Yuanxun is fine."

Leng Yuanxun's sudden change of address made Empress Beili stunned, and then tears of relief flashed in her eyes. Thinking about the conversation with Qu Lingxu before, she raised her eyebrows and said: "Leng Yiqing can tell you Have you reached Mr. Chen?"

The Mr. Chen that Queen Beili spoke of was Qu Lingxu's grandfather, Chen Zhongshi. She had a strong premonition that Chen Zhongshi was threatened by the current emperor, so he kept silent during the accident. And far away from the court, living like a transparent person.

Not only Queen Beili, but even Qu Lingxu looked at Leng Yuanxun solemnly, waiting for his answer.

The matter has come to this point, Leng Yuanxun has nothing to hide, he just briefly explained the whole story, "Mr. Chen is a unique erudite Confucian in the world, and the wind vane of scholars in the world. Whether he supports his father or is assassinated, it will cause huge social fluctuations. , this point, no matter the current emperor or the empress dowager, is very clear."

Leng Yuanxun paused for a moment, and continued: "Mr. Chen has outstanding virtues, and it is difficult to make him succumb no matter with his own life or the lives of his children. For this reason, they turned their ideas to the library."

"Library Pavilion?"

"Yes." Leng Yuanxun nodded, "There are tens of thousands of volumes of books in the library, many of which are rare and unique. Once lost, there is nowhere to be found."

"You mean, the emperor threatened Mr. Chen with books?" Empress Bei Li's frown slightly relaxed, and when she looked at Qu Lingxu, she also had a look on her face.

A erudite scholar like Chen Zhongshi cherishes books more than his life, if the emperor threatens to burn all the books in Zangshu Pavilion if he does not cooperate, he will definitely compromise.

Everyone has weaknesses and things they can't let go of, so many things can only be done as a last resort.

All the people present are smart people, and there is no need to explain too much about the reason, so Leng Yuanxun skipped the topic and continued: "I heard from my father that my father also knows the reason, he doesn't blame Mr. Chen, and , and left an autographed letter with the old gentleman, just hoping that when the time is ripe, the old gentleman can reveal the truth to the world."

"You mean, grandfather, he..."

"Yes." Facing Qu Lingxu's shocked eyes, Leng Yuanxun showed a gentle smile, "When we return to Beijing this time, let's visit the old gentleman immediately."

"Ah."

"It's not too late, you have to go back to the capital early." Saying this, Empress Beili got up and walked out of the palace, needless to say, she went to intercede with Emperor Beili.

"Don't worry." After Queen Beili left, Leng Yuanxun shook Qu Lingxu's cold hand and said softly.

These days Qu Lingxu experienced so much alone in Beili, Leng Yuanxun felt guilty just thinking about it for a moment.

"With you here, I can rest assured." Qu Lingxu clenched Leng Yuanxun's hand behind his back, and smiled softly in return.

She didn't have anything to worry about, even if Queen Beili didn't come forward to persuade them, Emperor Beili would definitely let them leave safely, because he was destined to not be able to afford such serious consequences.

As Qu Lingxu expected, about half an hour later, the Northern Li emperor and empress entered together and agreed to let Leng Yunxun and his party leave overnight, but only if they left behind the antidote to treat the horses. Qu Lingxu would not do that. Refused, but this medicine can only provide temporary relief, and cannot achieve a complete cure.

Due to the boldness of Leng Yuanxun and Qu Lingxu, the situation in the northern border has been temporarily delayed, but at the same time, Leng Yuanxun is also very clear that all this is only temporary. With the temperament of the Northern Li Emperor, he will definitely try his best to solve the thorny problem in front of him , Assemble the army in the fastest time to provoke chaos. All he has to do is to completely stabilize the situation in the capital within a few days.

As long as he does this, he may soon face the Northern Li cavalry, and he has nothing to worry about.

When Leng Yuanxun and his party rushed to the capital, Qing Yang who was guarding the capital also followed Leng Yuanxun's instructions to arrange all the things that should be arranged properly. Things in the Hou's mansion were naturally neglected.

It is said that after a few days of dizziness and fatigue and bed rest, Li's body gradually improved. She had been immersed in the inner house for many years, and her intuition was extremely accurate, so she politely refused Qu Lingxu's request to come to treat her, and only quietly let her cronies The maid paid a high price to hire a famous doctor from outside the mansion to see her, but the result she got was that she had suffered from the cold and was too tired, so she could just rest for a few days.

Mrs. Li didn't find any evidence, so she couldn't go to Huaiyang Hou to sue 'Qu Lingxu', but she didn't give up on Qu Fengyan's clue, so she sent people to the clothes bureau to arrest Qu Fengyan when she was in better health. Yan fished it out, but unexpectedly got the news that the other party had disappeared. .

"What did you say, it's gone?" Li Shi's body was not in good shape at first, but when he heard the news suddenly, he felt even more dark in front of his eyes.

"Ma'am, don't be angry, it's important to take care of yourself." Nanny Chen hurriedly stuffed a cushion behind Li Shi, and after she was more comfortable, she continued: "I asked the steward of the Clothes Bureau, but the steward only said Qu Fengyan I was punished for being lazy and making a mistake, but I didn’t say how to deal with it, and the servants asked the guards who guarded the gate, and no corpses of dead servants were thrown out in the past two days.”

"It's all because Mrs. Ben didn't notice for a while, so they took advantage of it!" Mrs. Li put the medicine bowl in her hand on the table heavily, and said angrily.It is not uncommon for a high-ranking family to dispose of a subordinate. Usually, they are rolled up in a mat and thrown to a mass grave in the outskirts of the city. Since there is no such thing, it means that Qu Fengyan is not dead yet, but was just killed. Leng Yuanxun just hid.

This is clearly a chain suit!
Thinking of this, Mrs. Li decided to rectify the servants in the mansion after recovering from her illness, so as not to be counted against her again.

But this is all for later, the most important thing now is to find Qu Fengyan's whereabouts as soon as possible. Only with her testimony and some planning by myself can I mention this matter before the Queen Mother.

After all, Qu Lingxu was a celebrity in front of the queen mother, if she was not careful, she would be burned, and she would lose money instead of stealing chickens.

"Master, don't worry too much. Qu Fengyan's identity is sensitive. The prince will never find a random place to put her. According to slaves, it is likely to be in some other courtyard. Over the years, the eyeliners we have placed in other courtyards are not No, as long as you give the order, there should be news soon." Mother Chen comforted at the right time.

Mrs. Li nodded in approval, and was about to order someone to investigate, but saw another confidant, Xiao Dezi, dropped his hands and looked thoughtful, so he raised his eyebrows and said: "Little Dezi, what did you think of?" ?”

Hearing Mrs. Li's words, Xiao Dezi bowed and saluted, and said respectfully: "Master, this servant is thinking that after such a commotion, the Shizi Concubine may really be a fake. Although we don't know the purpose of her disappearance, but Since she is a fake, she must not be able to solve difficult and miscellaneous diseases, as long as she reports to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother can randomly find a patient to try, and the truth will be revealed."

Naturally, Mrs. Li had thought of such an obvious problem a long time ago, and she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. She said angrily, "Of course my wife knows that asking Qu Lingxu to make a diagnosis will reveal flaws, but how do I report this to the Queen Mother?"

Could it be that there are two identical people in this world, or that Qu Lingxu used the disguise technique?
Li Shi is not considered ignorant and knows the magical disguise technique, but if he has heard of it, he has heard of it, so it is still a bit unreasonable to connect with Qu Lingxu.

Mrs. Li has been a concubine for so many years, and she has only been promoted as a flat wife in the past few days. No matter in the eyes of the queen mother or the wives of various high-ranking officials, they all look down on her. Saying this is never a good idea.

"This..." Nanny Chen is the closest person to Mrs. Li, so she naturally spared no effort to help the master find a way. She frowned and pondered for a long time, until her whole face was almost wrinkled into a chrysanthemum, and then she suddenly showed her face and said happily: "Ma'am , the servant thought of an idea, I don’t know if it’s feasible?”

Mrs. Li was able to stand out among the concubines of the Marquis of Huaiyang, thanks to Madam Chen's contribution, so Mrs. Li did not hesitate, she just nodded and said, "Say it."

"This matter is of great importance. As the dear mother-in-law of the eldest concubine, it is inconvenient for Madam to speak, but the problem is not who speaks, but to let the emperor know, isn't it?"

Many things don't have to be done in person, why didn't she figure it out?
Mrs. Li is not a fool, she understood after a little thought, and nodded approvingly, "You are right, as long as this news spreads in the capital, it will naturally attract the emperor's attention, why should we bother!"

There may not be many in this world, but people who watch the excitement and don't think it's a big deal are absolutely indispensable. I'm afraid... some of them are lively.

Thinking of this, a smug smile appeared on the corners of Li's lips, and he raised his eyes and said, "Do it right away, do it carefully, and don't show any traces."

"Yes." Xiao Dezi hurriedly took the order, and when the cabinet became quiet again, Nanny Chen said with a smile: "Since the arrangements are made, master can rest assured."

"It's not that easy." With a tired look on Li's face, she sighed quietly: "Qu Fengyan still needs to be found. Rumors matter. At critical moments, her testimony is also crucial."
