Chapter 72 Goodbye Emperor (22)

Concubine Li also raised her head and looked at her, with a broken expression on her face: "I'm not talking nonsense, I'll find out when I get the letter."

"You..." The Empress Dowager looked at her with erratic eyes, and her face was also a little pale.

Li Mu still had a calm expression on his face, as if he wasn't the one they wanted to assassinate, and it wasn't his throne they wanted to seize.

Shi Jiu was eating snacks and watching the play, and felt that the dog-eat-dog performance of the Queen Mother and Li Fei was really interesting.

Concubine Li kowtowed to Li Mu again: "Your Majesty, the evidence is hidden in this garden by the servants, please send some people to dig it with me."

Li Mu winked at Li Xiaozi, Xiao Li nodded, and asked a few eunuchs to take Li Concubine to go.

Shi Jiu moved her gaze to the Queen Mother, she found that the Queen Mother's body was trembling slightly, and her face was already as white as paper.

Concubine Li and the eunuchs came back soon, the young eunuch was holding an iron box in his arms.

When he got close, Xiao Lizi opened the iron box and took out two stacks of letters from it.

Xiao Lizi presented the letter to Li Mu, and Li Mu glanced at it lightly: "You can find someone to read it, I won't read it."

Xiao Lizi nodded, called a young eunuch over, and whispered something in his ear.

The little eunuch nodded and ran away. Seeing the situation, the Empress Dowager felt confused, her feet were so weak that she almost sat on the ground, but fortunately a palace maid next to her reacted and quickly helped her.

The little eunuch soon brought the person who recorded the handwriting in the palace. The person took the handwriting of the queen mother's youngest son and the handwriting of the uncle of the country to compare for a long time, and finally confirmed that the letters were authentic.

The queen mother fainted on the spot when she heard the result, and her court lady hurriedly supported her, and the scene was a bit chaotic for a while.

Xiao Lizi looked at Li Mu, Li Mu gave him a sullen look, Xiao Lizi got the order, and immediately ordered the little eunuch on the scene to prepare a sedan chair to carry the Queen Mother back to the palace, and then asked someone to invite the imperial physician, so that He went to see a doctor in the queen mother's palace.

After everything was arranged, Xiao Lizi went to Shijiu again, and said with a smile: "Concubine Wen, I will take you back to the palace to rest first, it's getting late, you should rest."

Li Mu's eyes fell on Shi Jiu's body, and his tense face eased a little.

Shi Jiu turned his head to meet Li Mu's gaze, and shook his head: "You don't need to see me off, I can just go back by myself."

"This..." Xiao Lizi looked at Li Mu hesitantly, and Li Mu nodded.

Xiao Lizi heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Then you should pay attention to safety on the way back. When you arrive in the palace, let the little palace lady report a letter. The emperor is worried about you."

Shi Jiu glanced at Li Mu again, nodded, stood up and left.

After Shi Jiu left, Xiao Lizi returned to Li Mu and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, what do you plan to do with her?"

It was self-evident who Xiao Lizi was referring to, Li Mu didn't even glance at Concubine Li who was still kneeling on the ground under the control of the little eunuch.

"Send it away, you will never return to the capital." After speaking, he turned and left.

……

On the morning of the second day, Shi Jiu ate the fish porridge from the imperial dining room, while listening to the little palace lady tell her the follow-up of yesterday's incident.

"The empress dowager has not been punished explicitly, but now, except for the imperial doctor and the little eunuch who delivers meals every day, no one is allowed to enter or leave the palace of the empress dowager, and the control is extremely strict."

"Uncle Guo in the previous dynasty was punished for a small mistake by the emperor, and his military power was taken back. I heard that Uncle Guo was sick from anger and was bedridden."
