Chapter 1063 Advice
"Yes, Grandfather has heard of her too?"
Minister Feng smiled faintly and said, "It's all spread out there now. I'm not deaf, how could I not have heard of it?"
However, he was still a little confused. Who was behind the scenes fanning the flames and making her famous overnight?
He was a little worried. These were really turbulent times.
When he looked up, he saw Feng Zongping still there, seemingly wanting to continue the discussion with him, so he said unhappily, "What are you still doing here?"
Feng Zongping pestered, "Grandfather, please say a little more."
Minister Feng glanced at him and said, "Put away your curiosity. This isn't something you can be curious about. Go back to sleep."
Feng Zongping had no choice but to leave.
The next day, Minister Feng stuffed the written memorial into his sleeve and entered the palace. After attending the small court meeting, he followed the emperor to the study to talk privately...ahem, about the case.
The emperor sat down on the chair and motioned for Minister Feng to sit down as well. Minister Feng handed the memorial to the emperor before finding a seat to sit down.
The emperor glanced over it, put down the memorial and asked, "What's the truth?"
Minister Feng said, "The memorial contains the truth, but I cannot find any concrete evidence regarding the nail."
He paused and said, "All the people involved in this matter that I have found out are dead. I am just one step behind them."
"Your memorial says that there are nails not only on the boots but also on the pedals?"
"yes."
"This is a setup that's bound to kill Su Jian." The emperor sighed, raised his head and stared at Minister Feng, "You can't find any concrete evidence?"
Minister Feng paused for a moment and then said, "Although there is no concrete evidence, I have found some clues. I cannot say for sure yet. However, there has been an unusual incident in the capital recently, and I suspect it is related to him."
"What's up?"
"The young doctor who saved Su Jian became famous overnight in the capital. I felt something was amiss, so I sent someone to investigate. I discovered someone was secretly fanning the flames, but I don't know what their intentions are." Minister Feng said, "I think we should wait and see. Perhaps we'll find something."
emperor:……
He coughed uncomfortably and asked, "Isn't that something they did themselves? I heard they spent their own money to become famous."
Minister Feng looked up at the emperor for a long moment and said, "A few kids just paid twenty taels to invite someone to read poetry to spread their fame. It shouldn't have such an effect."
"I don't think there's any conspiracy here. Mr. Feng, why don't you investigate elsewhere?"
Minister Feng thought about it and agreed. It was impossible that there was no conspiracy, but he didn't know what the emperor wanted to do. It couldn't be that he did this just because he had nothing to do.
I thought it was that person who did it, but it turned out to be this one.
The emperor changed the subject and said with a smile, "But that young doctor's medical skills are indeed good. I heard from the Imperial Hospital that Su Jian has survived."
Su Jian was the victim of the case. As the case organizer, Minister Feng naturally had to pay special attention to him, so he said, "Yes, this morning, Doctor Zheng and his team returned to the Imperial Hospital, leaving only one doctor at the Su Mansion."
Minister Feng did not deny Zhou Man's medical skills, so he did not object to their offering money to spread her fame. He was always more tolerant of those with ability.
The publicity she asked people to do was well-deserved, but the people behind it were a bit dishonest.
Thinking of this, Minister Feng raised his eyelids and glanced at the emperor. After all these operations, Zhou Man's fame rose, but it also received mixed reviews. Although it might not be a bad thing for her, it might not be a good thing either.
I don’t know what this person wants to do.
Of course the emperor would not tell him. He didn't even tell Wei Zhi and Old Lord Tang who knew the truth. He directly asked Shangshu Feng to continue investigating to see if he could find out anything.
However, they all knew that since three people had already committed suicide, it would be difficult to find any concrete evidence.
But some people don't need evidence to do things. The emperor said to Minister Feng, "If the Su and Du families ask about this matter, you can tell them. They are the ones who are involved, so they naturally want to know."
Minister Feng said he understood.
Duke Pi and Du Shu both went to see Shangshu Feng to find out what happened. After all, both families suffered heavy losses in this matter.
Minister Feng was slightly satisfied to see that they did not have the usual attitude of fighting to the death upon meeting the victim, so he told them everything he could say. Of course, he also hinted at the person behind the scenes according to the emperor's instructions.
Duke Pi and Du Shu didn't say anything at the time. When they were leaving, Du Shu even showed courtesy as a junior and let Duke Pi go first.
The two of them left the Ministry of Justice one after the other. As soon as Du Shu returned home, he went to find his brother who was in solitary confinement and said to him, "This month, and next month, you should stay at home honestly. Wait until the Empress Dowager's death before you go out again."
Du Yu was stunned and asked, "I'm not going to the Queen Mother's Celebration? Su Jian is going, but I'm not going..."
"It's because Su Jian might be going that you can't go," Du Shu said angrily, "You almost died. Do you still need me to teach you this?"
He said, "Fortunately, Su Jian is not dead or disabled. Otherwise, even if the prince lets you go, you won't be able to survive when his two brothers return. If they kill you, it will be the same as if you killed Su Jian. Can you really ask them to pay for your life?"
Du Yu's face turned pale and he said nothing.
"I told you long ago to have less contact with the Third Prince, but you refused to listen..."
Du Yu was unconvinced and said, "I didn't do anything. I was just revising a few books with His Majesty the Third Prince..."
Du Shu slammed the table angrily and said, "Are you a book editor? Don't think I don't know what you've been doing behind the scenes with the Third Prince."
He lowered his voice and shouted, "Let's not talk about anything else. Do you know about the concubines in the East Palace?"
Du Yu shook his head repeatedly, "The Third Prince said that he didn't do it. It's clearly the Crown Prince's trick. The concubine is dead. No one knows whether she is really pregnant..."
Du Shu was very disappointed. "Do you think the prince is fake?"
Du Yu recalled the scene that day when the crown prince rushed into the Third Prince's residence and smashed it with red eyes, and fell silent.
Du Shu whispered, "The Crown Prince finally had a child. What do you think His Majesty and the Queen will think of the Third Prince after this incident?"
Du Yu was panic-stricken.
"No matter how much Your Majesty favors the Third Prince, the Crown Prince is still the Crown Prince, and is also Your Majesty's son." Du Shu said meaningfully, "Besides, the Queen is wise and will not allow them to kill each other. The news from the palace is that the Queen asked Your Majesty to allow the Third Prince to go to his fiefdom, and Your Majesty has agreed. After the Queen Mother passes away, the Third Prince will go to his fiefdom."
The prince who went to his fiefdom basically had no chance of succeeding to the throne. Of course, there was always a way.
But that would be too risky. How many people would be willing to take the risk with the Third Prince?
Why are so many people instigating the Third Prince or following him now?
Isn’t it because he is the only legitimate prince who did not go to the fiefdom after he reached adulthood and got married, and is still deeply favored by the emperor?
Seeing that he was silent, Du Shu turned and left, leaving him to think for himself.
