Chapter 251lin death
Mo Ziyao felt a little strange. The Empress Dowager has been avoiding the emperor these days, and even the emperor went to Tairen Palace in person. She didn't want to talk too much to him.
This time, did you take the initiative to send someone to ask him to discuss his birthday? Oh, these are done by the people below. How can the emperor worry about it?
Mo Ziyao thought that although she didn't know what was between them, she also faintly felt a sense of uneasiness.
After Ruan Lingzheng left, she closed her eyes and lay down for a while before getting up. Yuzhi brought water in and said to her, "Mother, Jing Chongyi is here. I'm waiting outside."
Mo Ziyao was shocked and asked quickly, "When did you come here?"
Yuzhi said, "It's been a while."
"Then why don't you come in and report it?"
She hurriedly explained, "The maidservant is going to come in and report it. Jing Chongyi just said that since the mother is still asleep, she should not disturb the maidservants."
After a while, he sent her down and said, "Go and tell her that I will go out immediately."
"Yes." Yuzhi nodded and retreated.
Mo Ziyao got up quickly, cleaned up, and called the maidservant to come in to serve. When she went out, she saw Jing Chongyi sitting in the hall drinking tea, and the late autumn waiter stood beside her.
When everyone saw her pass by, they all saluted. Mo Ziyao came forward and helped Jing Chongyi and said, "My sister doesn't need to be polite. I don't have time to thank you for what happened yesterday."
When mentioning yesterday's incident, Jing Chongyi just smiled and said, "The Empress Yao's blessing is boundless, and the concubine just happened to catch up."
Sitting with her, Mo Ziyao smiled and said, "Thanks to my sister, I can sit here safely today." After a pause, he said, "Why did my sister come so early today?"
Jing Chongyi whispered, "My concubine wanted to visit the noble concubine yesterday, but she didn't want to know that the emperor was also there. Hearing that the imperial doctor was announced in the Yuyao Palace yesterday, the concubine thought that the noble concubine was not in good health, so the emperor was in a hurry to come over. Today, when I saw the look of my mother, I was relieved.
Mo Ziyao was slightly stunned. Yesterday, Dr. Xuan was for Ruan Lingzheng, but not herself. However, she can't talk to Jing Chongyi about this matter. He smiled and said, "Yes, I was a little uncomfortable yesterday, but after a night's rest, it's okay." After sitting for a while, he got up and said, "My sister came here so early, so let's go to the Tairen Palace together to say hi to the Empress Dowager."
Hearing this, Wanqiu beside her was about to speak, but Jing Chongyi preempted her by saying, "It turned out that the noble concubine didn't know yet. The empress dowager said that she didn't have to go to say hi today."
"Is it?" Mo Ziyao was a little surprised. It seemed that she fell asleep, and the maidservists still had time to say.
Jing Chongyi nodded, her face was slightly dark, and said, "Meng Xiuyuan died today. The empress dowager believed in Buddhism and went to the Buddhist temple early in the morning."
So it is. Mo Ziyao couldn't help saying, "When will the execution be executed?"
"Naturally it's noon." She said.
"noon." Mo Ziyao looked outside the hall and calculated that it was only more than four hours. Oh, I didn't expect Meng Xiuyuan to die like this.
Jing Chongyi said again, "I heard that Ye Chongyi made trouble in Huayi Palace all night, crying and asking to see the empress dowager and the emperor. She also said that she wanted to see the imperial concubine Hui."
No matter how noisy Jing Chongyi is, it won't help. The Empress Dowager and the Noble Concubine Hui will not go to see her. It's just that Mo Ziyao didn't know that if Ruan Lingzheng knew about this last night, would he be soft to see her for the last time?
"What's wrong with the noble concubine?" Seeing that Mo Ziyao didn't say anything, she asked in a low voice.
Mo Ziyao came to her senses and shook her head, "It's nothing."
As he spoke, he saw Yuzhi bring breakfast. Mo Ziyao said, "My sister has been available? If not, eat something with this palace.
Jing Chongyi refused with a smile: "Your concubine Xie, my concubine has already eaten."
Mo Ziyao nodded and did not force her. She got up and said, "Since the noble concubine is fine, the concubine will go back first."
Mo Ziyao was stunned and finally didn't leave her. She just said, "Wanqiu, send Jing Chongyi out."
"Yes." Wanqiu answered, "Jing Chongyi, please."
Jing Chongyi saluted Mo Ziyao again before turning around and going out.
Wait for her to go out, Yuzhi came forward and whispered, "Mother, do you think it's really a coincidence that Jingchongyi arrived at Lingyi Palace late?"
Is it a coincidence that Mo Ziyao didn't know? She only looked at the result, and Jing Chongyi still chose to help her. Of course, she also needs to pay attention to everything, so she didn't tell Jing Chongyi about some things.
Mo Ziyao didn't say anything, but Yuzhi seemed to have something to say. Looking at her, Mo Ziyao said, "What do you need to cover up in front of this palace?"
"I dare not." Yuzhi lowered her head, attached to Mo Ziyao's ear, and lowered her voice, "Mother, Lin Li is dead."
Mo Ziyao's fingertips trembled, and Lin Li, the imperial doctor who was demoted from the palace, died? She asked in a low voice, "How did you die?"
"The beam committed suicide and left a suicide note."
"What did you say?"
"It is said that the Lin family has been an imperial doctor for generations, but he was dismissed and investigated and never hired. He felt that he could no longer be loyal to the emperor, and felt ashamed of the ancestors of the Lin family and lived in the world shamelessly, so he chose to commit suicide."
Yuzhi looked up at Mo Ziyao and said, "Someone in the palace went to investigate and said that he did committed suicide. The suicide note he left is indeed his handwriting.
Mo Ziyao frowned slightly. Yuzhi wanted to tell herself that Lin Li really went to die by herself and had nothing to do with others. Oh, maybe, it's just that things always happen.
I can't help sighing that the Empress Dowager is so fast.
However, Mo Ziyao still has one thing unknown. Since Dr. Lin is the empress dowager, he will naturally not betray her. It's ruthless enough to return to his place of origin. Why do you have to kill him? Are you afraid that the people of the Liu family will come to him? Thinking so, I couldn't help admiring the empress dowager's means again.
Just got up, I saw a person's voice coming in from afar: "Mother, someone outside said, Meng Xiuyuan begged you to meet her!" Look up and see that it's a lucky year. Thinking that he had just dismissed everyone, he dared not come forward for a while.
And Mo Ziyao was finally stunned. Why did Meng Xiuyuan suddenly want to see herself?
Ji Nian was still standing outside looking, but Mo Ziyao was slightly stunned. Just now, I also heard Jing Chongyi say that Meng Xiuyuan begged to see the emperor and the empress dowager last night, and also asked to see the noble concubine Hui. Now that I'm dying, I want to see myself.
Mo Ziyao pondered, guessing why she was so eager to see herself and whether she was going to go. At this time, Ji Nian came up and asked, "Do you want to go?" If you don't go, I will go out and go back to the maidservant.
Mo Ziyao said, "No, I'll go to this palace."
Ji Nian was stunned and nodded quickly, but said with some uneasiness, "Well, don't let me accompany you with Miss Wanqiu and Miss Yuzhi."
Mo Ziyao frowned and said, "What are you afraid of? I have no grievances with her in the past. What else can she do?" After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave. However, Wanqiu and Yuzhi had rushed over. It seemed that Jinian shouted so loudly that they must have heard it already. They all nodded and said they wanted to go together.
Outside the Huayi Palace, the guards guarded him heavily. When Mo Ziyao went there, she actually saw Chu Qingtian. I was really shocked.
When Chu Qing saw Mo Ziyao coming, he hurried forward and said, "I have seen Yao's noble concubine."
Mo Ziyao shouted and couldn't help frowning, "How can the guard of Chu be here?"
Chu Qingtian looked at Mo Ziyao with a doubtful face, and his lips squirmed. He thought of this sentence, which was also what he wanted to ask. After he got up, he said, "My subordinates came to the prison under the order of the emperor. What's wrong with you..."
Mo Ziyao came forward and said, "I came to see Meng Xiuyuan for the last time. How much time do you have now?
"There is still half an hour." Chu Qingtian followed and lowered his voice, "Your mother, you shouldn't have come."
Mo Ziyao said in a low voice, "She is going to die. I sent my maidservant to see her for the last time. I am not an unhumane person. After all, it's still a sister, what about the guard Chu?"
In fact, she asked herself that she had not offended Meng Xiuyuan, and she also wanted to figure out why she had to target herself like this. In addition, she must have something to say to herself. If she misses it, it must be a loss.
Chu Qingtian was obviously stunned and said for a long time, "Then I will go in with my wife."
Mo Ziyao stopped him and said, "Don't bother. I will go in by myself."
She knew that Chu Qingtian knew about the matter between her and Meng Xiuyuan and was worried about her safety, but anyway, he had better not go in. Ruan Lingzheng asked him to supervise the field, but it was not appropriate to go inside.
"Mother..." Chu Qingtian's eyebrows twisted slightly and strode forward to block Mo Ziyao's way. Obviously, he didn't want her to go in.
Mo Ziyao smiled and said, "Isn't there any palace people in it? It will be all right." Her intuition told her that Meng Xiuyuan didn't call herself to be against herself, not to mention that she had not offended her.
Chu Qingtian still wanted to speak, so he listened to Wan Qiu beside him whisper, "Lord Chu still doesn't have to go in. I will follow the Empress and vow to protect her to the death." Yuzhi beside him also nodded to him.
Mo Ziyao gave him a reassuring smile and helped Wanqiu's hand in. Yuzhi hesitated and followed closely.
Outside Meng Xiuyuan's bedroom, she guarded her two father-in-law. Seeing Mo Ziyao and her party coming, she was obviously shocked and hurriedly bent down to salute.
The maid who just came to Yuyao Palace and asked Mo Ziyao to come ran forward, leaned down to salute Mo Ziyao, and then turned around and pushed open the door of the bedroom. Mo Ziyao looked around and suddenly felt strange. Unexpectedly, she had never seen Mi'er.
Mo Ziyao and two maidservant went in, and the door behind her was slowly closed. In the room, Meng Xiuyuan sat by the bed in a daze, heard the sound of someone going in, and instinctively looked up.
When she saw the person clearly, a little excited color suddenly appeared on her pale face. She got up and approached Mo Ziyao and said in a hoarse voice, "I didn't expect that the noble concubine would really come."
When Wanqiu saw Meng Xiuyuan approaching, she quickly stepped out and stood in front of Mo Ziyao, afraid that she would do something to her master. Yuzhi clenched her fists and stared at her angrily. Obviously, she still hated that Meng Xiuyuan sent someone to kill her that day, making her almost drowned in Cuihu.
Mo Ziyao glanced at the two maidservants, smiled, gently patted Yuzhi on the shoulder, walked out of the side of her body, and came forward alone and said, "I am surprised. On the verge of death, you actually want to see me."
Meng Xiuyuan was slightly stunned and suddenly laughed at herself: "My concubine can't invite anyone else."
