Chapter 56 Eating secretly
"Your Majesty, I have heard that snakes, insects, rats and ants often appear in Fengming Palace. If the Queen is of noble character, how could such filthy creatures be attracted to her?"
Youdu Shi Chen Mengyi was famous for not fearing power and not giving face to anyone in the court.
If any official was impeached by him, he would be so eager to commit suicide.
Therefore, as soon as he spoke, the court fell silent.
I'm afraid that once I open my mouth, I'll get burned.
"Right Capital Guardian Chen Mengyi, please don't be too pushy for your own selfish interests. I don't know what you are talking about, so how do you know it?"
Emperor Yongping was angry.
Why are all of them staring at his harem?
He is so old now, can't he make his own decisions about his own family affairs?
[Your Majesty, don't be angry. His affair with Concubine Xian happened when he was young. He didn't cheat on you. Concubine Xian didn't like him and just used him. At most, Concubine Xian was the white moonlight in his heart...]
As soon as Chu Qinshu heard about Youdu Yushi, she dug up some gossip about him.
Moreover, she could clearly hear a sour and harsh tone in Emperor Yongping's voice.
Emperor Yongping: "......"
How did the young man know about this trivial matter?
Also, is this a comforting word?
Why does he sound even more wrong?
Return to the white moonlight. What kind of light is the white moonlight?
Isn't it green?
"Your Majesty, I am only reporting the truth and doing my job. I hope Your Majesty will not tarnish my reputation."
Chen Mengyi was neither humble nor arrogant, and he had no fear of Emperor Yongping.
"Lin Fu, summon the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to come and talk to Chen Yushi."
Emperor Yongping knew about his bad temper but was too lazy to tell him about it.
"Your Majesty, I am talking about the matter of the deposed queen. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has nothing to do with me."
Chen Mengyi wanted to force Emperor Yongping to depose.
Why was Concubine Xian demoted to a concubine just because her family members made a small mistake?
And that queen not only failed to fulfill her duties as the head of the harem, but also burned down the Fengming Palace without receiving any punishment?
This simply doesn't make sense.
"I am not asking the Ministry of Internal Affairs to talk to you, but asking you to talk to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
You should explain the matter of snakes, insects, rats and ants to them. If you can't explain it clearly, go to Fengming Palace to check. If Fengming Palace doesn't have the things you said, you can retire and return home. "
Emperor Yongping had long disliked this old fellow.
If it weren't for the special functions of the Censorate, he would not have been able to dismiss Yu Shi based on his own words alone. Chen Mengyi should have gone home to farm long ago.
"Does anyone else have a petition? If not, please leave the court."
Emperor Yongping was really angry.
All the civil and military officials in the court watched him and an old historian quarreling with each other, and no one spoke up to help.
What a bunch of...good-for-nothings.
"Retreat~"
After Emperor Yongping asked his question, no one responded, so Lin Fu quickly announced the adjournment of the court.
Returning to Yu's study, Emperor Yongping thought again of the two imperial guards he had captured yesterday.
"Release the two guards and say they are investigating the fire in Fengming Palace and found that they have nothing to do with it."
Emperor Yongping waved his hands, feeling a little tired.
Impulsiveness is really a bad thing.
If you want to deal with the Queen, you can't be hasty.
If those two imperial guards were really behind her, then the change of ownership of the country that Shu'er mentioned would never happen.
After all, Long Wei had thoroughly investigated those two companies last night.
Not to mention that they don't have the power to seize the throne, they haven't even found the slightest connection between them and the empress.
"Hey, I'll go right away."
As soon as Lin Fu left, the eunuch outside Yu's study came in again and reported that Concubine Xian wanted to see him.
"No, no, let her go back. If she doesn't obey, she will be confined to her room for three months."
Emperor Yongping waved his hand and sent the man away.
When Concubine Xian heard the eunuch's reply, she turned around and ran towards Huixi Palace without stopping.
She was scared to death. Her little son was still in the Dali Temple, and she couldn't be confined to his home.
"Your Majesty, the maidservant beside the Empress came to tell you that the Empress is seriously ill and wants to see you."
When Lin Fu came back, he happened to see Hongye outside the hall, so he asked a question.
"I'm not a doctor. Can I cure her by seeing my body? There are dozens of doctors in the Imperial Hospital. Can't they cure her?"
Emperor Yongping held the memorial in his hand, trying to focus his attention on government affairs.
Therefore, whenever the concubines asked to see him, he would turn them away one by one and would not show any mercy to anyone.
Seeing that Emperor Yongping was very angry today, Chu Qinshu pretended to be asleep and wanted to go into the space to think of a way to cheer him up.
"Little Gourd, the Emperor is angry. I want to think of a way to cheer him up."
Because she wanted to find Xiao Hulu to help her find a solution, Chu Qinshu appeared in the study after entering the space.
The little gourd still looked carefree, but its already round belly seemed to be bigger today than before.
"Well, you are still so young, you can make him happy just by being cute, why do you need to think of other ways?"
Its expression looked a little unnatural. Its usually lively and cute appearance now looked a little restrained.
"Little gourd, have you eaten anything?"
Chu Qinshu climbed onto the recliner and discovered that something was wrong with Xiao Hulu.
Normally she could hold the little gourd in her arms, but today she couldn't.
The little gourd said that it would not grow up. No matter how many thousands of years it passes, it will always look this cute.
"No, no, there is nothing here for me to eat. Besides, I don't need to grow, and I won't do such a troublesome thing as eating."
The way Little Gourd was arguing had clearly exposed its guilty conscience.
Chu Qinshu is just young, not stupid, so of course she can see it.
"This place smells wrong. Besides the smell of the herb, there's something else."
As Chu Qinshu spoke, she sniffed the small gourd from all angles, front, back, left, and right.
Little Gourd: “…”
Odor-removing and cleansing talismans, you must perform well and never reveal your true intentions.
Once the filling is exposed, it can no longer hide its stealing.
"I'm the only one here, how could there be any other smells? You're still young, and your sense of smell isn't fully developed yet, so you can't smell it clearly."
Xiao Hulu held Chu Qinshu down, intending to call out someone's name to watch the show to distract her attention.
"No, you must have eaten the fruit from the tree."
After Chu Qinshu finished speaking, she quickly climbed down from the recliner and ran towards the ancient tree with her short legs.
Little Gourd: “…”
The previous owner never discovered that it was stealing food.
How did the owner discover it the first time it stole food?
Could it be that those who worked in biological science in their previous life have better noses than ordinary people?
Chu Qinshu ran to the ancient tree in one breath and looked up.
Sure enough, the branch that was full of flowers yesterday now had several large fruits hanging on it.
However, the signs of having been picked are too obvious.
The place where the fruit stalk falls off is still fresh.
