Mo Xun smiled awkwardly and looked at Shen Wei eagerly: "Empress Chen, you and I were old friends in the past, and your brother and I are as close as brothers - can you help me?"
Cai Lian hurriedly lowered her head and walked to the door of the bedroom, leaving space for Chen Wei and Dr. Mo.
In the room, smoke was curling from the copper stove, and a faint fragrance was diffused. Shen Wei asked Mo Xun to take a seat.
Mo Xun was not polite. He sat down on the rosewood chair next to him and said straight to the point: "I won't hide it from you. I have been imprisoned in Yue Kingdom for the past few years. This time I sneaked into the Yue Kingdom delegation and came to Yanjing. Now that the delegation has left, I secretly stayed here."
"I have offended the State Master of Yue, and he has been looking for me all over the world. I have no choice but to temporarily hide in the Imperial Hospital in the palace. Today, Miss Cai Lian came to see the Imperial Physician, and I took the opportunity to come to Yongning Palace."
"I've thought about it, hiding in the Qing Palace is the safest. No matter how long the Imperial Master's hands are, he dare not reach into the Qing Palace. Empress Chen, please help me, help me stay in the Imperial Hospital. I will hide in the palace for a year or two, and sleep peacefully for a year or two."
Mo Xun was really desperate.
No matter where she hid, no matter how secretive the place was, the imperial master who was well versed in divination could always find her whereabouts easily.
She could only seek help from Concubine Chen Wei.
Shen Wei drank a sip of warm spring tea and said with a smile: "It is fate that we met. I will help you stay in the Imperial Hospital."
Shen Wei was worried that the Imperial Hospital had no one of her own.
What a coincidence, someone sent a pillow when she dozed off. The famous Dr. Mo took the initiative to deliver it to her door. Shen Wei would not let her go.
We must recruit Doctor Mo to our own advantage.
Mo Xun clasped his hands together in gratitude, feeling extremely moved: "Thank you so much! From now on, I will take care of your health. I can't say that you will live a hundred years, but I dare say that you can live safely to eighty."
Shen Wei raised the corners of her lips, in a good mood.
Mo Xun added: "I will go back to the Imperial Hospital in a moment and personally prepare a specially made antidote to eliminate the toxins in your body within ten days. I will never let the Emperor know that you have been poisoned."
Shen Wei put down the teacup and said slowly: "I was poisoned and almost died. I must let the emperor know. I even want the emperor to find out the mastermind for me."
Mo Xun's eyes widened. How could he do this?
...
...
In the Chang'an Palace, Li Yuanjing was reading memorials. The Tiger Guard quietly walked into the hall and knelt on one knee: "Your Majesty, among the Yue Kingdom's envoys, there is an envoy named Mo Xun who left the team and sneaked into the Imperial Hospital in the palace."
Li Yuanjing paused in flipping through the memorial.
He knew Mo Xun, the famous Dr. Mo. In order to capture Mo Xun over the years, the Yue State Master has spent a lot of manpower and resources.
But Mo Xun was really smart and cunning. Every time he was caught by the Imperial Master, he would always escape quietly after a while.
"Your Majesty, do you want to capture Mo Xun?" asked the Tiger Guard.
Li Yuanjing shook his head: "Not for now. Wait for the State Master of Yue to bring the chips to exchange."
Putting down the memorial, Li Yuanjing picked up the tea on the table and took a sip. The Tiger Guard continued to report: "There are several people who spread the rumor. After being tortured, they all confessed. The identity of the person who started spreading the rumor that General Chen Mieyue's achievements were too great to be feared by the ruler is unknown, and he speaks with a Yunzhou accent."
Li Yuanjing narrowed his eyes dangerously.
Yunzhou...Duke Lu’s territory.
After Li Yuanjing ascended the throne, in order to suppress the stubborn aristocratic families in Yanjing City, he had to reuse the big families in remote areas and let the aristocratic families fight among themselves.
The Lu family is a century-old family, but has been declining in recent decades. After Concubine Lu Xuan entered the palace, the Lu family has gradually risen and prospered.
The Lu family continued its former glory, but gradually revealed the arrogance of the family - they colluded with Concubine Lu Xuan to buy official positions and sell titles, put incompetent children of the family into important positions, and instigated relations between the emperor and new ministers.
"Lu family..." A murderous intent flashed across Li Yuanjing's eyes.
The corrupt families that are hindering the vigorous development of Qing Kingdom must be eliminated one by one, and the Lu family is no exception.
The tiger guard left quietly.
After a while, Eunuch Deshun came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Concubine Shu wants to see you."
Li Yuanjing frowned slightly: "Let her go back."
Deshun was about to report back when Li Yuanjing suddenly changed his words: "Let her in."
After a while, Concubine Lu Xuan walked into the hall. She was dressed radiantly today, in a light pink cloud-shirt and skirt, with a thin brocade bodice over it, her black hair tied up in a bun, and a flower ornament on her forehead.
Like the peonies blooming in the yard in spring, bright and beautiful.
She knelt down tenderly to greet him, raised her beautiful eyes slightly, and said with a smile: "Summer is approaching, and my father gave me a box of silk from three-sleeve silk. I asked the embroiderer at the clothing bureau to make a plain gauze Zen robe, and sent it to the emperor specially."
The plain gauze Zen robe is light and thin, very breathable to wear, and is most suitable for wearing in summer.
Li Yuanjing nodded: "Shufei is thoughtful."
Lu Xuan felt a slight pain in her heart.
She did not see any joy on Li Yuanjing's face. There was no sadness or joy on his face, and his emotions were indifferent.
At some point, Li Yuanjing's way of addressing her changed from "Xuan'er" to the emotionless "Shufei". It seemed as if the days when the two of them lived in harmony were just Lu Xuan's dream.
Lu Xuan forced a smile and said, "Your Majesty, the Changxin Palace has prepared a chess game tonight. Will Your Majesty come?"
Li Yuanjing did not agree, but said calmly: "You go back to the palace first."
Lu Xuan could not hide her disappointment. She guessed that the emperor would most likely go to Concubine Chen's Yongning Palace tonight.
Ever since the Concubine Chen returned to the palace, the Emperor has been staying at her place most of the time. Occasionally go to Changxin Palace and Kunning Palace.
Changxin Palace became increasingly deserted.
Lu Xuan knelt down and saluted, her eyes unable to hide the sadness and sorrow: "I will take my leave."
The Concubine Chen has not been back in the palace for long, and the Emperor is still interested in her. I think this freshness will only last two or three months at most.
