Chapter 129 Cunning

............

It has passed five days, but there has been no news from the Ministry of the Ministry of Public Affairs. It always said that the man in black is difficult to interrogate and has always refused to explain honestly. Moreover, his life is in danger and he can't find any useful information. Therefore, Min Wen has to be placed under house arrest all the time, and in order to avoid suspicion, he is not allowed to visit him, which makes Zhou Xiaoqing very worried. Urgently, the emperor's situation is also not optimistic. Originally, his health is not as good as before. Now it makes the assassins so much worse. Every day, he will only wake up for a while and fall asleep in a cough without saying a few words after waking up. It seems that the old disease has been committed again. Zhou Xiaoqing's heart is in a mess. Why not Good things always come one after another? Misfortune does not come alone, and blessings do not come alone. Is this really God's will?

"Princess--" is the little bean who came in. As soon as Zhou Xiaoqing saw him, she immediately stood up from the stool.

"How's it going? Did you find out anything? When will the prince come out? How is he doing? Has he been tortured? Zhou Xiaoqing's series of questions made Xiaoxuan a little overwhelmed, but she directly said the answer Zhou Xiaoqing wanted without taking a breath.

"Princess, don't worry, after all, the prince is a prince and will not torture himself. When it comes out depends on the speed of the case. Now the assassin is still in a coma, so there is nothing to say."

Zhou Xiaoqing doesn't know whether to be relieved or nervous when she hears such news. What if the assassin can't get up? Isn't Min Wen going to be locked up for a lifetime? This is obviously a flawed blame, but why don't many people dare to come out and talk? The emperor can't hold justice now. He can only supervise the country by the Third Prince and Prince Xiaoyao, but the Third Prince is eager for Min Wen to do something. Maybe this is still a trap they designed? As for Prince Xiaoyao, who has always ignored political affairs, it is not the third prince and Mu Jie.

"Princess, don't worry. You can't save King Jing in this way. It's better to find Lord Lin. He usually has the best friendship with King Jing, and he has always been famous for his straightforward words." Xiaodou reminded.

Zhou Xiaoqing smiled bitterly and said that this was the only way. She just hoped that the emperor could wake up early, so that Min Wen's situation would be better, at least not in a passive position.

Zhou Xiaoqing walked to the Yongle store and the temple and smelled a smell of medicine from afar. Recently, the emperor has been taking medicine more and more frequently. When Zhou Xiaoqing hadn't entered, she saw a little maid come out. Maybe she had just finished feeding the medicine. Zhou Xiaoqing can now directly enter and exit the emperor's bedroom, and the guards next to her have been familiar with Zhou Xiaoqing for a long time.

"Xiaoqing - you're here..." The emperor's voice came from **, and Grandpa Wan waited beside him. Seeing that the emperor was about to get up, he helped him very willingly.

"Your Majesty, just lie down, it's easy to catch a cold." Zhou Xiaoqing quickly came forward and said.

"It's okay. After waking up for a while, I wanted to talk and lay down day and night... I felt... cough..." The emperor coughed again. Zhou Xiaoqing quickly took out the Jinpa and put it on the emperor's mouth and covered her mouth. After a while, she took it down. Although it was directly wrapped, it was still possible. I saw the red oozing from inside.

"Your Majesty, drink a glass of water first. The charcoal stove in this room is very dry, so it's uncomfortable." Zhou Xiaoqing said.

"Alas, this is my poor health, and it seems that I won't live for a few days."

"Your Majesty, please don't say that. Now King Jing is suffering..." Before Zhou Xiaoqing finished speaking, she heard Eunuch Wan remind him pleasantly, "Princess, aren't you going to stew soup for the emperor?"

Zhou Xiaoqing didn't understand why Grandpa Wan was not allowed to say it by himself. Now that the emperor has finally woken up, he can save Minwen.

"Xiaoqing, what did you just say about King Jing?" The emperor has been sleeping these days. Of course, he doesn't know what happened.

Zhou Xiaoqing thought that Grandpa Wan had been experienced in serving the emperor for so many years. This may not be a good time, so she couldn't help saying, "Oh, Xiaoqing said that the emperor's dragon body is ill. King Jing is very worried and can't sleep well."

The emperor laughed and said, "I know how to help King Jing so soon, but Min Wen is indeed a good boy. Cough... Alas, I can't do it. I'm sleepy again. It's hard to speak. I'm going to rest for a while..." With that, the emperor closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Zhou Xiaoqing silently saluted and retreated.

Outside the palace door, Duke Wan and Zhou Xiaoqing said, "Princess, you also know the emperor's condition. Whether you say it so recklessly, whether King Jing is proved guilty or not, the emperor will feel uncomfortable. It's not too late for you to talk about it when the emperor is better." After listening to Grandpa Wan's words, Zhou Xiaoqing's heart seemed to pour a bucket of cold water. Why is this situation? The emperor is not a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong. Naturally, he will not be angry with everyone because of this matter. It's all the assassin's fault.

Maybe Grandpa Wan is too worried about the emperor's body, so he can't tolerate any mistakes. Although she still wanted to say something, Zhou Xiaoqing decided to retreat when she saw Wan's serious and indisputable expression.

Walking on the corridor with thoughts, Zhou Xiaoqing did not have any strength to think about anything else. There were not many days after Ziyu's death, and then the emperor was stabbed and Min Wen was imprisoned... When will it be an end? It seems that the happy days in the past were too short.

Zhou Xiaoqing was looking at the scenery around her listlessly and accidentally found ** in the corridor. The roots of the emperor's favorite flowers were rotten. What's going on? Is the emperor in poor health that even the flowers will wither? Which eunuch is in charge of this? If the emperor wakes up and sees these, he will definitely be angry. Zhou Xiaoqing came forward and took a closer look and found that there was a smell of medicine in the flower pot. Once again, there were drug residues. Zhou Xiaoqing stayed in the imperial pharmacy every day to grab the emperor's medicine, and she was still familiar with the medicine.

How can it be not far from the emperor's palace? This smell is also the emperor's medicine. Could it be that the lazy maid directly chose a remote place and directly poured out the unfinished medicine? If so, it would be a big deal. The root of this ** has been rotten. Is the side effects of this medicine so big?

Zhou Xiaoqing thought about it. I don't think it's appropriate. Let's go to the imperial pharmacy to ask first. At this time, when she heard a sound at the corner, Zhou Xiaoqing still hid aside so as not to let everyone see her research on these pots.

"Has the emperor taken medicine recently?" It was the voice of a little eunuch. Although Zhou Xiaoqing didn't know him very well, she knew that he was working under Duke Wan.

"The emperor can't even drink a mouthful of water recently. He always takes the medicine and comes out. He has to run dozens of times a day, and I'm exhausted..." The voice of a maid of honor.

"Eunuch Wan can't always stare and serve the emperor there. Now there are many things in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he has a lot of tedious things to deal with. Can't you save your mind? If Grandpa Wan knows that you didn't let the emperor drink medicine regularly, your good days will come to an end. The little eunuch warned.

The little maid was a little impatient. She stared at the eunuch and said, "Grandpa Wan didn't say so much, but your mother-in-law got up. It's so troublesome. The emperor hasn't had a good days. If you don't drink those pills, it's not been a matter of these days." The little maid was a little impatient and actually said that she had eaten this rebellious words. Zhou Xiaoqing wanted to rush to teach them a lesson, but she felt that there was something wrong no matter how she heard it. Why was Grandpa Wan so worried about the emperor's drinking medicine, and they just wanted to put the emperor to death. Is it medicine? Question?

As soon as this idea came of, Zhou Xiaoqing was scared. Duke Wan is the most trusted person by the emperor, and it seems that Duke Wan's care of the emperor is very considerate. Can this also be pretended?

"Well, I don't want to make any mistakes. If the emperor wakes up, it will be difficult for King Jing to do. If the third prince blames him..." Such words sound like thunder roaring in his ears. Has the palace been silently replaced again? What about Minwen? What should she do?

Zhou Xiaoqing hid in the corner and did not move. It took a long time before she came out. Now she can only do these things in the dark. She wants to tell the emperor and unconsciously change the soup. Fortunately, Grandpa Wan and others don't know that they have found their conspiracy.

Zhou Xiaoqing decided not to be weak and must do her best to complete all this.

Back to the emperor's bedroom, Zhou Xiaoqing looked at everything around him indifferently. How many people are trustworthy? No one is sure, and it is sad to want to be the peak of power. How difficult it is for the people around you to be either afraid, or because of flattery and want to get benefits. How difficult it is for someone to be willing to put a knife for you. If you act alone, what are the chances of winning?

There are too many questions in my mind, but none of them can be solved immediately. A person's growth has to pay a price. Unexpectedly, in this world, it is even more difficult to deal with than modern times. In the past, I was too naive. If Min Wen was around, there would be a negotiable person, Zhou Xiaoqing People who think that they can help this is a gamble. Who is on the side of justice and who is on the same side as Mu Jie and others should make a bet. If they lose, their lives are difficult to protect their lives. I decided to go out of the palace tomorrow, or discuss it with Mr. Shi. He has lived here for a long time and may have some suggestions. I heard Gu Ziyu say that General Wang is very upright. I don't know if I can do him a favor, and Yun Fan, won't he be angry and ignore Min Wen when he sees such a situation? Question mark In a word, all the power and connections that can be used should be used.
