Chapter 97 This is not normal

Imperial Doctor Jiang just took a look and the tyrant noticed it, looking at him coldly.

Jiang Sheng clicked his tongue.

Really protective of food...

Then the tyrant grabbed An Jiu and jumped onto the roof, quickly disappearing into the night behind the palace wall.

"Lin San followed and watched His Majesty."

Doctor Jiang thought that he had to interrogate the people around Concubine Mei. If what Xiaojiu said was true, he would have to dig out something.

The kitchenette was very quiet.

Aunt Qu also heard about the accident and was waiting here early in the morning. An Jiu nodded to her to indicate that she didn't need to worry, then went into the kitchen with the emperor.

Smoke soon rose from the roof.

Anjiu heated up the dinner.

The tyrant was not picky about food and he ate it all up quickly.

An Jiu took out some snowball hawthorns and gave them to him, leaving half for the tyrant.

After the meal, the tyrant went back to Anjiu's cabin, hugged his Abebe, lay down on the bed neatly, and covered himself with his small quilt.

only……

The quilt can only cover his belly, which makes him look a bit pitiful and a bit funny.

An Jiu suppressed her laughter and said, "It's cold, cover yourself with a big blanket, and the little one can be held in your arms."

The tyrant looked at Abebe, then at the big quilt, and then at himself.

"Not small, mother said it's just right."

An Jiu "..."

When your mother said this, you were only that big, but now you are so big...

Forget it, I'll cover it after he falls asleep...

Anjiu was very sleepy, but the tyrant didn't want to sleep.

He was covered with a small quilt and looked at Anjiu with his clear big eyes.

An Jiu "?"

My dear, just eat and drink enough and go to sleep!

"What's wrong?" An Jiu asked him.

He said, "The story..."

An Jiu "..."

He wouldn't treat her as his mother...

Suddenly there is such a big boy...

Seems good...

When I was a kid, I would have all kinds of fantasies when I saw a handsome guy, but when I grow up, I only have one thought when I see a handsome guy...

If only I had a son as tall and handsome as this...

An Jiu also lay down. She was tired and sleepy, so she told a story about a snail girl...

She yawned and turned around to find that the tyrant had fallen asleep.

The sleeping tyrant was very beautiful and quiet, with a high nose and long eyelashes like small brushes...

Nuwa was indeed very partial. She must have been particularly fond of him when she was making the clay figurine.

As An Jiu was thinking this, he fell asleep unknowingly.

What An Jiu didn't know was that the emperor opened his eyes just as she fell asleep.

Unlike the past, he would wake up the next day. This time, perhaps the desire to wake up was too strong, and he woke up almost as soon as the tyrant fell asleep.

He looked at An Jiu who was so close...

I looked at myself again...

Then he got up from the bed, thought for a moment, put the small quilt in his hand on the bed, turned around and walked out.

Lin San was startled when he saw him and subconsciously stepped back.

The emperor said solemnly: "It is I..."

Lin San breathed a sigh of relief.

That one is really difficult to deal with.

I can't eat anything...

He recounted what happened today.

After hearing this, the emperor frowned slightly and turned to look at An Jiu's hut.

"Go find Jiang Sheng first."

Jiang Sheng was in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. He was sitting on a chair, wiping the bloodstains from his face.

"I'm telling you guys, you're all just a bunch of slaves. Noble Mei is dead, so why are you still suffering?"

Jiang Sheng had a gentle smile, but in the eyes of these people, it was quite terrifying and cold.

Several palace maids and eunuchs fainted from fright.

Jiang Sheng asked people to splash water on them to wake them up.

"Doctor Jiang, please, I really don't know anything."

"I don't know either."

Everyone is crying out for injustice.

Jiang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief: "Maybe. After all, Concubine Mei would not let you know about the assassination of His Majesty..."

When they heard about the assassination of His Majesty, their faces turned ugly.

"Then tell me what you know. Who is Lady Mei's best friend? What does she like to eat, drink, and use? Where do these spices come from? Has she done anything suspicious recently?"

After Jiang Sheng's reminder, several eunuchs and palace maids actually thought of something.

"Noble Lady Mei and Lady Qin have a very good relationship."

"Yes, Lady Qin was almost chopped off in the Imperial Garden last time, and Lady Mei went to see her."

"The noble lady mixes all her own spices."

"Your Excellency likes to eat pears..."

"Some of the nobles' things were bought from outside the palace."

Everyone spoke one after another, saying everything at once, regardless of whether it was useful or not.

Jiang Sheng raised his eyebrows: "Who is Lady Qin?"

There are simply too many women in the emperor's harem.

Jiang Sheng didn't remember much.

"At the beginning of autumn, in the Imperial Garden, His Majesty went there, and Concubine Qin also went there, but His Majesty seemed to dislike her and was quite angry."

Jiang Sheng remembered.

What a coincidence, the emperor also fell ill that time.

Combined with what Xiaojiu said, it’s probably because of the taste.

"Someone, go check on Lady Qin."

After Jiang Sheng gave the order in a cold voice, he asked someone to bring the person who bought things for Concubine Mei from outside the palace.

He was a guard named Lin Dahai. Others didn't know, but the guards knew that although Jiang Sheng was nominally the imperial physician, his medical skills were not very good. He was brought in by the emperor through the back door, and the identity of imperial physician was just to make it easier for him to enter and leave the palace to conceal his identity.

He enjoyed the emperor's trust, and his opinion was equivalent to the emperor's opinion.

Lin Dahai didn't know what had happened, nor did he know what he had done wrong.

Jiang Sheng asked, "I heard that Guard Lin always helps people buy things from outside the palace?"

So this is the thing...

Lin Dahai nodded: "Yes."

Although the palace had clear rules prohibiting this, many guards still did so secretly. After all, the things allocated in the palace were too few, and many people did not have enough. Moreover, the money rewarded by the palace had to be spent somewhere.

Doctor Jiang arrested him because of this?

"Many people do this..." Lin Dahai explained, but Jiang Sheng didn't want to listen. He asked, "Where did Lady Mei buy the spices?"

Lin Dahai mentioned several spice shops.

Jiang Sheng then asked him about the details such as how many times he bought it.

Seeing that there was really nothing more to ask, Doctor Jiang wiped the blood off his hands, hummed a tune, and came out of the Ministry of Punishment. He saw the emperor standing at the door.

Jiang Sheng was stunned for a moment: "Cousin?"

The emperor glanced at him and asked, "What did you find out?"

Jiang Sheng smiled and said, "It's quite a harvest."

The two of them walked out slowly, and Jiang Sheng asked the emperor why he had suddenly had seizures in public several times recently.

The emperor has said it.

"So, the Queen Mother has committed the same mistake once before?"

The emperor nodded.

Jiang Sheng said: "That's because of the spices. I've asked someone to investigate."

The emperor said nothing and agreed.

Jiang Sheng said tentatively: "Except for these few times, the rest are all related to Xiao Jiu."

The emperor looked up at him and asked, "Is there something wrong with her background?"

Jiang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief: "What happened before she entered the palace was just her oral account. We can't find any clues. Besides, the nanny who brought her into the palace died of illness a few years ago."

The emperor narrowed his eyes.

"Do you suspect her?" Jiang Sheng asked.

The emperor asked in return: "Isn't she worthy of suspicion?"

The emperor walked a few steps, turned around and said, "I suddenly have a maid like this by my side, who knows a lot of strange things, cooks to my taste, has a personality that interests me, is considerate, and can control that idiot... Isn't this strange?"

Jiang Sheng: "..."

Cousin, do you want to listen to what you are saying???

Although Xiaojiu is a little suspicious, you are even more weird, okay?

In the past, the emperor would have killed this kind of person long ago. It would not be worth wasting his energy to make him so distressed and full of resentment. Jiang Sheng even heard a hint of jealousy...

Isn’t this normal?
