Secret agent crossing: Overbearing prince's favorite concubine

Chapter 45 The Cause of Death of the First Emperor

Mo Qingli looked a little hesitant. She returned to the side hall and tossed and turned all night.

After the incident last time, the Empress Dowager became more cautious about food safety, and asked others to try the medicine before taking the medicine. Mo Qingli also tried her best to treat her, and the Empress Dowager's illness gradually improved.

Every day when Mo Qingli was massaging for the queen mother, it was the time when the queen mother was most relaxed, and the queen mother's attitude towards Mo Qingli was a little bit better, and occasionally chatted with her.Mo Qingli accidentally heard a secret.

"Xiao Li, how long have you been in the palace?" The queen mother looked a little enjoying, she squinted her eyes, and didn't look at Mo Qingli.

"Going back to the Empress Dowager, the slaves have been in the palace for three months." Mo Qingli slowly kneaded the acupuncture points for the Empress Dowager, and replied respectfully.

"It's been so long before I know it." The Empress Dowager's tone suddenly tinged with embarrassment, and Mo Qingli knew that it wasn't her who was talking about so long in the Empress Dowager's words.

Sure enough, the Empress Dowager suddenly sighed deeply and said, "According to the calculation, it has been almost five years since the late Emperor passed away."

Mo Qingli didn't answer the words, the queen mother may have a little more desire to speak out because of her physical and mental comfort, and said: "The late emperor left suddenly, and the emperor's ascension to the throne was also caught off guard. Fortunately, nothing happened. .”

The movements of Mo Qingli's hands paused slightly. Since the former emperor died of illness, there must be a sign. Why did he die suddenly?

"The first emperor became very lethargic after returning from his southern tour, and one day he fell asleep and passed out. If Ai's family had found out earlier, he might be able to save a little bit by going to the imperial physician..." The Queen Mother said, her voice It gradually became lighter, and my thoughts seemed to return to the time when the first emperor died.

Mo Qingli frowned, a thought vaguely appeared in her mind, her face suddenly changed drastically, if it was really what she thought, it would not be a trivial matter...

The queen mother suddenly woke up, turned her head and glanced at Mo Qingli, and seeing Mo Qingli's expression changed slightly, she then gave a faint warning and said: "Ai's family is getting old, so it is inevitable that I will talk about it with you. Say, if outsiders find out..."

The queen mother was only surrounded by Mo Qingli and the queen mother's confidantes. Mo Qingli knew that the words must be addressed to her, so she kept moving and softly comforted her: "Don't worry, empress dowager, slaves will naturally not chew their tongues."

Only then did the queen mother nodded in satisfaction, and fell back into a drowsy sleep.

Mo Qingli's eyes were deep. It seems that the cause of the late emperor's death...was not simple.

There are not many people in the Imperial Medical Office, only a handful of old doctors with white beards and hair. Seeing Dao Mo Qingli, Mo Qingli even looks down on her. Mo Qingli stays in the Imperial Medical Office in her free time, and some of her ideas are known to those old antiques. Yes, even more despised.

After Mo Qingli finished her massage for the Queen Mother, she entered the Imperial Medical Office. The Imperial Medical Office has a wealth of Chinese medicine books, so she can read more.

"You, go and tidy up there." When Mo Qingli was engrossed in reading, suddenly there was a malicious voice.

Mo Qingli raised her head, glanced at him, and said, "What's the matter, Doctor Miao?"

Dr. Miao has the most seniority in the imperial hospital. He stroked his beard, glanced at Mo Qingli, with a slightly contemptuous expression on his face, and said, "The imperial medical office has been cleaned up recently, you go and sort out the files."

Mo Qingli narrowed her eyes, sorting out the files?Will there be any record of the former emperor taking medicine?With a smile on her brows and eyes, she closed the book and said, "Your servant will go now."

Dr. Miao felt a little embarrassed for being so forthright. He had to sort out not only recent files, but also files from a long time ago. Mo Qingli would definitely not be able to finish sorting them out by himself.

Dr. Miao was about to call Mo Qingli to stop, when he turned around to see, there was no shadow of Mo Qingli in front of him.

Mo Qingli wished that no one would be with her, so that she could look it up without any scruples.

The archives of the Imperial Medical Office are all stored in a small, gloomy room. The room is very dark, because it is full of books and paper, and the air is dry, and there are no candles.

Mo Qingli took advantage of the light coming in from the window, and found the record of the former emperor in a file.

A few days before the emperor died, he used some refreshing tonics, which were beneficial to the body and harmless.Presumably the first emperor noticed that he was prone to sleepiness, so he ordered the Tai Hospital to prescribe this medicine.

However, these medicines didn't work. The first emperor felt more and more powerless, and forced the Imperial Medical Office to increase the dose of medicine, but finally couldn't sleep.

A dark light flashed in Mo Qingli's eyes. The medicine file was already detailed enough. She squinted her eyes, and a sharp light flashed in her eyes. Her face was a little dark. The death of the former emperor...was poisoned. !
Mo Qingli once read from an ancient book that there is a strange poison in the Western Regions, which is colorless and tasteless. After taking the poison, it was just drowsiness at first, but the time of sleeping became longer and longer. Many people chose to use refreshing herbs, but they didn’t know This will only make them die faster.

"Mo Li!" When Mo Qingli was thinking deeply, a panting voice suddenly came from the door of the file room. She looked up and saw Dr. Miao standing at the door, panting heavily and bending over, as if He came after Mo Qingli.

"Doctor Miao, I've already started to clean up." Mo Qingli only thought that Dr. Miao was here to monitor whether she started to clean up the files.

Unexpectedly, Dr. Miao waved his hand and said, "No, no, how can you clean up so many things by yourself."

Mo Qingli was stunned, looking at the old man in front of him who had a look of disdain but said to help, suddenly laughed, and said: "Then thank you, Doctor Miao."

It was already evening after tidying up, and the room where the files were stored was very remote. When Mo Qingli walked out, there was no one there, and the imperial doctor Miao had already left. For some reason, Mo Qingli suddenly thought of the leaving palace that the masked man said.

Suddenly, a sneaky figure came into her eyes, she frowned, that figure was clearly Mo Zhiyan!

Mo Zhiyan was grounded and fined for copying scriptures, yet she dared to sneak out.Mo Qingli hid in the twilight and followed slowly.

I'm not sure about Luo Zishang, but following Mo Zhiyan and Mo Qingli can guarantee that I won't be discovered at all.

Mo Zhiyan's extremely cautious appearance made Mo Qingli very curious, she followed not too far away, and finally arrived at the edge of a rockery, saw Mo Zhiyan slapping the rockery a few times, a crack suddenly appeared in the rockery, Mo Zhiyan Zhiyan looked around before walking in.

Mo Qingli had a cold face, the secret door in the rockery... was Luo Zishang.

She put her ears on the rockery, and finally she could vaguely hear the conversation inside.

Mo Zhiyan seemed a little anxious, she spoke very fast, and said: "The situation is not optimistic now, the emperor doesn't trust me at all and won't summon me."

Luo Zishang's voice was calm and relaxed, and Mo Qingli could even imagine the unchanging smile on his face, and only heard him say: "Don't mess around."

"When will you take me away? You said that you will be with me after the matter is over." Mo Zhiyan's voice was still eager, but something shocked Mo Qingli.

Mo Zhiyan put a green hat on Jun Yuqing?Mo Qingli settled down and continued to listen.

"Aren't we together now?"

Luo Zishang's voice was very light, and Mo Zhiyan didn't find anything wrong with Luo Zishang's expression under joy, she snorted coldly, and said through gritted teeth: "If it wasn't for that little bastard Mo Li, I wouldn't be here!"

Luo Zishang was silent for a while, and suddenly there was a faint warning in his voice, saying: "Don't provoke Li Li, you can't compare to her."

Mo Zhiyan seemed to want to refute, but swallowed the words that rolled into her throat. She fought against Li Li a few times, but she didn't get any benefits. This feeling... It's like fighting Mo Qingli in Mofu generally.

"You take the medicine for these three months first, and find a chance to give it to that person." Luo Zishang's voice returned to normal, he took out a package, handed it to Mo Zhiyan, and said, "I will find a way Meet you outside."

Mo Zhiyan seemed a little unwilling, and condemned her a few more words, but Mo Qingli didn't continue listening.

She was sure that Luo Zishang was instigating Mo Zhiyan to give the emperor medicine, her eyes darkened, Luo Zishang's ambition...was not small.

The next day, Mo Zhiyan somehow lifted the confinement, but Jun Yuqing never summoned her.

On the day when Mo Qingli was struggling to see the masked man, Empress Shangguan, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, suddenly sent someone with a message, saying that she was inviting Li Li to catch up on the old days.

The queen mother saw Mo Qingli's reluctance, and patted Mo Qingli's hand kindly, and said, "Go ahead, just tell me if you have anything to do."

The empress didn't know why she called Mo Qingli to the palace, but she didn't show up for a long time.Mo Qingli was not annoyed, and waited patiently for the queen.

I don't know how long I waited, the queen finally came out in a grand dress, Mo Qingli was a little surprised, looked at the queen and asked a little hesitantly: "Empress, what kind of festival is it today?"

The queen came over with a smile and held Mo Qingli's hand, and said, "It's just that I'm in the mood, Xiao Li doesn't need to be restrained, I always treat you as a younger sister."

Mo Qingli's heart skipped a beat. The concubines in the palace... don't they all refer to them as sisters?She hurriedly stood up and evaded, "Thank you, Empress Empress, for your appreciation, but this servant is no more than a court lady, so I dare not climb high."

"Are you looking down on Ben Gong?" Empress Shangguan's brows and eyes turned cold in an instant, with a bit of sharpness in her eyes, she looked straight at Mo Qingli.

Mo Qingli frowned, she pursed her lips and said nothing, the queen's face suddenly softened again, and she said with a smile: "It's my sister's blessing to have a sister like you."

"I saw a piece of high-quality fabric a few days ago." The queen suddenly turned to another topic, took Mo Qingli's hand, and said, "I thought I was taking advantage of Li Li's skin, so I used it to make you a whole body." Clothes, why don't you go and change them for Ben Gong today?"
