Chapter 372 Asking for His Other Hand
King Liang nodded immediately.
Ask someone to bring the small stool and the three flowers.
Xiao Dengzi and the others had already met on the way and said, "There's nothing going on in the palace. The Queen Mother is ill and has been staying indoors. We were guarding the door, but we didn't see anything."
"What? The Empress Dowager is examining the Emperor?" The little chair opened its mouth in surprise.
The little table laughed, "How is that possible? The Queen Mother herself is sick. We heard it clearly at the door. In the middle of the night, the Queen Mother kept coughing, and it was very loud!"
Upon hearing this, King Liang looked at the three flowers.
The three flowers had no idea what Yun Zhao was doing in the middle of the night. They only wanted to climb up the social ladder.
Seeing the look in Prince Liang's eyes, he could only nod and said seriously, "Really, the Queen Mother is very weak, doesn't eat much, and often falls asleep. From what I see, it doesn't look like chickenpox, but rather like she has a stagnation of heart qi. What kind of serious illness is she suffering from?"
Upon hearing this, Prince Liang slowly lowered his eyelashes, "So, it's unlikely that the Emperor's illness was cured by the Empress Dowager?"
Three Flowers laughed, "The Queen Mother is always sleepy, how can we cure her?"
Xiaodengzi also nodded. "Yes, the Empress Dowager rarely goes out except to read memorials occasionally. She said that there are too many people outside and she is afraid of spreading chickenpox to others."
King Liang nodded and said, "I understand. You may leave now."
After the others left, Prince Liang's eyes darkened. "If that's the case, why did Mu Chengyan say that Yun Zhaozhi treated the little emperor's illness?"
Xiao Liu raised his hand and adjusted the broad brim of his hat. "Prince Liang, Mu Cheng Yanzhi is not in the court. Moreover, he has many thoughts about Yun Zhao. He has his own plans, but he is not wholeheartedly planning for your future. Isn't it normal that what he said is not true?"
When King Liang heard this, his brows furrowed. "That makes sense! If that's the case, then we can't leave everything to Xie Jingmo."
"——Find someone to follow Mu Chengyan and don't let him ruin my plan."
Xiao Liu nodded and asked King Liang, "Then are you going back to Chunhui Tower?"
Prince Liang waved his hand, "I want to find out who gave the little emperor a chance to live! They're ruining my plans! I'm going to tear that person apart!"
By the way, he wants to find an opportunity to kill the little emperor!
Mu Chengyan didn't understand why King Liang suddenly sent someone to him.
"King Liang said that the Spring Examination was of great importance, and he was worried that it would be difficult for you to carry out the work without anyone by your side. So he sent me here to serve you."
Mu Chengyan looked at the person in front of him and asked, "What's your name?"
The man smiled like a child and said, "You can just call me Ah Hui. I am Xiao Liu's last disciple."
This made Mu Chengyan look at the person in front of him seriously, "You are Xiaoliu's disciple, so you know witchcraft? Can you use poison?"
Ah Hui loves to laugh, and with a frown on his face, he said, "I know a little, but not as good as Master. I've only learned the basics."
Because of this, Mu Chengyan kept the people.
He took his men to Yuhui Building.
The Spring Examination has ended, and the examiners are now marking the papers inside. When the curtain came, Xie Jingmo was standing outside.
The examiners were selected by him personally, and he trusted them. Moreover, the names on the test papers were sealed, and the list would not be announced until the top three were selected. So as long as he controlled the door and did not let anyone in, the task would be completed successfully.
Mu Chengyan brought people here.
Xie Jingmo frowned.
"Regent, I don't seem to have invited you here." Xie Jingmo said.
Mu Chengyan subconsciously glanced at Xie Jingmo's hand. He still didn't hold the sword today.
"The Queen Mother said that the examination of the papers was a serious matter, and asked me to oversee it together."
Xie Jingmo refused, "I didn't receive the imperial edict."
The Regent's eyes were cold and stern, "The Queen Mother gave her a verbal order."
Xie Jingmo sneered, "Really? Since it's an oral order, then naturally there should be someone trustworthy to pass it on."
Mu Chengyan said angrily, "I am the person the Queen Mother trusts!"
Xie Jingmo laughed out loud, "Mu Chengyan, so to speak, you still don't understand Yun Zhao. Ever since you touched the innocent family members of those imperial doctors, anything between you two has become completely impossible."
Mu Chengyan felt a prick in his heart, his face annoyed, "It can't be me, and it can't be you!"
Xie Jingmo chuckled, "Anyway, Yun Zhao and I are closer now."
Mu Chengyanzan clenched his fist, about to swing it at Xie Jingmo's face the next second. Ah Hui spoke at this time, "Are they marking the papers inside? It's not good to make a noise at the door, right?"
Mu Chengyan narrowed his eyes, looked at Xie Jingmo's hand, and suddenly smiled again.
"OK."
"Since you said there's no oral order, then you can ask Yun Zhao. I'll wait at the door."
Xie Jingmo crossed his arms and said, "If you want to ask for the oral order, go ahead. It's not me who wants the order. Why should my people go to the Queen Mother?"
Mu Chengyan was getting angry again.
He glanced at Ah Hui, pulled him aside, and whispered to him, "Aren't you good at martial arts and poison? I don't care what method you use, you're going to kill Xie Jingmo!"
Ah Hui still had a smile on his face. "Isn't Xie Jingmo's hand disabled? It's easy to kill him, but when I was leaving, my master said that King Liang had something important to do and asked me not to shed blood and ruin King Liang's plans."
Mu Chengyan frowned.
Ah Hui said, "If he doesn't want to die, I can still take his other hand."
Mu Chengyan turned his head and asked, "Are you okay?"
Ah Hui nodded, "No big deal."
Mu Chengyan then calmed down and said to Ah Hui, "Then you go, make sure he can't stand at the door!"
The court needs the Prince of Liang's people. Now it's the spring examination. He has several substitute papers of some dandy boys in his hand, just waiting for Xie Jingmo to leave. He will stuff these substitute papers in and let the Prince of Liang's people get the top three, and become a powerful force in the Liang Dynasty in the future!
When Ah Hui left, Mu Chengyan called him and whispered, "Please help me check his injured hand. Is it really useless?"
Ah Hui smiled and left.
Mu Chengyan watched Ah Hui leading Xie Jingmo to talk, and he tightened the papers in his cuffs.
I plan to wait until the person goes away before going in.
As a result, before he could move, Fu Hai came with a yellow imperial edict.
The general meaning was: "The matters concerning the Spring Examination have been handed over to Xie Jingmo, so I will not give them to anyone else, so as to avoid conflicts of opinion among many people."
Mu Chengyan frowned.
Yun Zhao had almost never objected to anything he asked for before, so he went to the palace to find Yun Zhao specifically for this matter.
Yun Zhao still refused to give in.
Mu Chengyan felt a deep sense of disappointment in his heart.
"Prince Regent, no matter what your past relationship with the Queen Mother was, I hope you won't make things difficult for her on such an important matter as the imperial examination."
Mu Chengyan was annoyed, "I know."
Fu Hai smiled slightly, and saw Ah Hui and Xie Jingmo walking to the corner on the side out of the corner of his eye.
He placed his hands in front of him and stood straight at the door of the examination room for the Spring Examination.
Mu Chengyan looked at Fu Hai coldly, "Why aren't you leaving yet? Are you on guard against me?" After announcing the decree, he never left.
