Chapter 15: The Vicious Queen Mother vs. the Beautiful Factory Manager (13)



"Master, the Emperor has avoided meeting the Imperial Concubine and several ministers, and has even summoned the Imperial Physician to the Imperial Study."

Ming An frowned and walked forward.

It is still the place where you can lean on the railing and overlook the imperial study.

Imperial Physician...

Pei Yuqing's narrow and long phoenix eyes paused for a moment, then suddenly raised up, with a calculating glint in his dark and gloomy eyes.

If something really happened between Sheng Wu and Xiao Luochen, why would they send the imperial physician now? One of them must have been injured.

According to Sheng Wu's plan, I'm afraid she is the one who needs treatment!

Xiao Luochen is not a man who is gentle with women.

Pei Yuqing's eyes moved slightly, and he suddenly turned sideways, looking at Ming An with his dark, evil, narrow and sharp eyes.

"You, send people to spread rumors, saying that the Emperor was assassinated in his study in the middle of the night, and the Empress Dowager happened to risk her life to save him, but her life is in danger. The Emperor was so anxious that he didn't even see the two concubines and ministers who came to see him. The two of them..."

"The love between mother and son is deep."

The handsome face was half bright and half dark in the moonlight, and the evil lips were slightly raised, revealing a sinister calculation.

Ming An was a little confused, "Master, why not lead the Queen Mother and the Emperor into a private affair?"

Pei Yuqing lowered his head slightly and looked towards the brightly lit imperial study. His deep and three-dimensional eyebrows were exquisite like a painting. The fine black hair on his forehead drooped slightly, covering the bloodshot color at the corners of his eyes.

"One is the current emperor, and the other is the empress dowager. Even if they had a private affair, how many would dare to speak of it openly? But if they declared it in the name of a deep mother-son relationship, everyone would say it was a deep mother-son relationship. However, their previous engagement was known to everyone in Shengjing, and their inner thoughts had already turned to a strange and dark direction."

The slightly feminine voice is hoarse and low, like clouds and mist, ethereal and pleasant.

Ming An frowned, "But Master, if the Emperor and the Queen Mother really take it seriously... then wouldn't we be acting as a matchmaker between the Emperor and the General's Mansion?"

Pei Yuqing lost his patience and turned around to walk into the darkness. His slender jade-like figure walked steadily and upright, as if blending into the night.

Just a lost sentence.

"There is no room for two tigers in one mountain; their achievements will shock their master."

The General's Mansion's appetite is not just to assist the emperor. Otherwise, they would not have allowed Sheng Wu, who was already engaged to Xiao Luochen, to enter the palace and marry the late emperor.

Xiao Luochen had just ascended the throne and seemed to have eliminated some dissidents, but in fact, he had not really touched the roots of the dissident party.

Regardless of whether there is anything between Sheng Wu and Xiao Luochen, once the rumors spread, the General's Mansion would naturally be happy to have someone by his side whispering in Xiao Luochen's ear.

But Xiao Luochen would be more cautious and would not tolerate the general's mansion.

After all, how could someone who dared to speculate on the threat posed by the emperor be allowed to grow stronger?

Hearing this, Ming An's pupils trembled slightly, and he suddenly understood something and went down to do the work immediately.

――――――

In the imperial study, Xiao Luochen sat beside the screen with complicated eyes. His cold and deep facial features were frosty, and it was obvious that he was in a very bad mood.

On the other side of the screen, the imperial physician and palace maids were busy saving Sheng Wu.

Basin after basin of blood was carried out and passed by Xiao Luochen's side.

It was already late at night, and time passed by bit by bit. Xiao Luochen did not return to the palace to rest, but just sat there quietly, waiting for the result.

No one would know the inner entanglement he was feeling at the moment, his fingers were tightly clenched, sometimes loosening and sometimes tightening.

He didn't want Sheng Wu to be alive.

Because he had guessed a little about the General's Mansion's plan, even though he really had no feelings for Sheng Wu.

However, as long as Sheng Wu is around, the General's Mansion's ambition will not diminish for a moment.

Moreover, he also knew that some people were suspicious of the relationship between him and Sheng Wu. Some people would think that he and the General's Mansion were in favor of a republic, which was not conducive to the control of the officials of the new dynasty.

If the water is too muddy, it is easy for good and bad people to mix together.

However, what happened tonight made him feel that if all the evil things Sheng Wu did were forced by the General's Mansion, then she was the most innocent and pitiful person, a person sacrificed by power.

But what if what happened tonight was just Sheng Wu’s plan?

He remembered that she was very afraid of pain, and the dagger piercing her heart might be a self-torture trick to confuse herself...

Xiao Luochen looked behind the screen with heavy eyes, and vaguely saw Li Shuhuai who was treating Sheng Wu.

As long as he lets Li Shuhuai leave, that Shengwu.

Death is inevitable...

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what a blessing!"

Just as murderous intent began to rise in Xiao Luochen's eyes, Li Shuhuai suddenly ran over from behind the screen. A look of joy appeared on his tense face, and he was obviously relieved.

Xiao Luochen immediately restrained his expression and looked calm.

"How is the Queen Mother?"

Li Shuhuai bowed joyfully, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager's heart seems to be different from others. It's actually on the right side!"

Hearing this, Xiao Luochen's eyebrows moved slightly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"What did you say? Say it again?"

The heart is on the right side?!

It's not like he hadn't seen this kind of strange story before in some ancient books, but how could Sheng Wu happen to be so lucky?

Li Shuhuai knew that this was indeed a strange thing, and he was also very excited, after all, he was an imperial physician.

He assured Xiao Luochen again and again, "Your Majesty, there is no mistake. I have repeatedly checked the Empress Dowager's pulse and the extent to which the dagger penetrated the left side of her heart. The dagger left no room for maneuver and went straight through most of her body. If the heart is really on the left side..."

Having said that, Li Shuhuai paused and spoke hesitantly.

"Forgive me for saying this, but if the heart is really on the left side, I'm afraid the Empress Dowager wouldn't have made it until I arrived, and would have to..."

The tone is low.

Li Shuhuai didn't really dare to say the following words, but the meaning was very obvious.
