BXBX NOVEL Chapter 180 Prince Mu and the Young Marquis
"Your majesty, please forgive me." Lei Tia looked at Emperor Xiao Hui.
Emperor Xiao Hui's eyes were somewhat gloomy. He was also thinking about who would attack the Madam Du. In the eyes of the Emperor, Madam Du was not only an i
er chamber woman, she was also the "mother of the National Duke". He couldn't help but suspect that there was something behind the death of the Madam Du. He would not suspect Lei Tia. If Lei Tia were to make a move on the Madam Du, she would not wait until now.
"Yes, Lei Lianzi, kneel and rest."
Qin Ruiqi sensibly said: "Ruiqi and Ruilin will come again to visit your Imperial Aunt another day."
Emperor Xiao Hui smiled, "Alright."
After Qin Mian and the other three apologized, they left with a little Bai and the golden-furred man.
Princess Duan Ning looked regretfully at the white dot and the golden hair walking away. The golden hair looked simple and honest, but it also looked cute. She had wanted to get closer to him.
"Ah'he, let's stay for lunch at the palace today. It's been a long time since I've been to the palace, and I wish to have a good chat with you. " Emperor Xiao Hui said to Zhangsun Hee.
Zhangsun Hee naturally agreed, "It's better to obey than to be respectful."
The empress dowager, empress, and Princess Duan Ning saw that they had something to say, so they all made excuses to leave.
Princess Duan Ning led one of her big palace maids and six other little palace maids along the cobblestone path, walking at a leisurely pace. Princess Duan Ning brought one of her big palace maids and six little palace maids along a cobblestone path, walking at a leisurely pace, walking at a leisurely pace.
"Why is my royal sister here alone?" Princess Dua
ing didn't like this imperial sister, but she had to show a smiling face due to the imperial family's decency.
The Princess Yan Qing coldly smirked and raised her chin, "Royal father summoned the entire family of National Duke to actually have you present. Do they want to marry you to the National Duke? At this time, you must be feeling very pleased with yourself, right? "
She took the Princess Yan Qing by the arm, and her tone was so intimate that it sounded as if she was the closest person to the Princess Yan Qing. She said in a spoiled ma
er, "Big imperial sister, do you think that my royal sister is like you, disregarding her reputation? What sort of consort would she want to find? She didn't want to be the one to shamelessly intervene between husband and wife? "My royal sister, you have wrongly accused my royal sister." Every word he spoke was filled with mockery for the Princess Yan Qing. After saying that, she stomped her foot in grievance.
Just like master, just like servant. The palace maids behind her were not afraid of the Princess Yan Qing as they all lowered their heads and chuckled.
Princess Yan Qing was furious, her eyes seemed to be on fire.
"Duan Ning, you're too presumptuous!"
Princess Duan Ning released her hand and pursed her lips, blinking her eyes. Her long, raised eyelashes flapped in a mischievous and adorable ma
er as she laughed in a crisp and melodious ma
er, "Big imperial concubine, are you muddle-headed? Your grade is no different from yours, how can it be called presumptuous? "
She raised her head and looked at the sky, "Aiya, the sun today is so poisonous. I have to go back earlier so that my skin won't get sunburned. Great royal sister, royal sister, I will go first. "
Princess Dua
ing curtsied and left, taking two steps before turning her head back. "Oh, I forgot to tell my imperial concubine. He had used the Cosmetic Cultivation Ointment that the National Duke's madame had given him before, and the results were obvious. If royal sister needs it, royal sister, I can go to my royal grandmother and mother to ask them to share a bottle and give it to my royal sister. It would be too late if it was not taken care of properly. Your royal sister will be leaving first! "
Raging anger was churning in Princess Yan Qing's chest non-stop, exhausting all of her strength. Princess Yan Qing could only support herself against the wall, the hatred in her eyes was mixed with unwillingness, but when she thought about Qin Mian's methods, her face turned pale white, and she stomped her feet, flying away.
Within the Four Corner Pavilion, a gentle breeze blew and the fragrance of tea permeated the air.
"Ah He, who do you think would be the one to attack National Duke's mother?" Emperor Xiao Hui asked.
Zhangsun Hee laughed, "Brother-in-law, you sure you know that I don't care about these things? It really is a coincidence today. "
How could Emperor Xiao Hui not see that he was avoiding the topic? He shook his head slightly, and smiled faintly with a trace of tolerance. At that time, a war had broken out between the Grand Xia Country and the Western barbarians, causing heavy casualties among the Grand Xia soldiers. Divine Doctor Ceng Shuyi could not bear to see that, so he rushed to the battlefield at the age of seventy to treat the Grand Xia Country soldiers. The righteousness of Doctor Ceng was known throughout the world. He stayed on the battlefield for three full years before he finally died from overwork. Not long after, there was a rumor that General Huang had been saved by Doctor Ceng using the Clear Sincerity Pill. Before he died, he had even given the last pill to a fated person. What kind of pill was the Clear Sentinel Pill? According to the historical records, more than 200 years ago, the famous doctor Wei Cunzhi used the Clear Sentinel Pill to save the old emperor who was poisoned by a strange poison. The Emperor, in order to be grateful to Wei Rongzhi, even married a princess to the son of Wei Rongzhi. However, after some unforeseen event, the recipe for the Clear Scourge Pill was lost. As time passed, more and more doctors were inclined to believe that the pill only existed in legends. After all, the term "antidote" was simply too inconceivable. However, eight years ago, Zhangsun Hee had unexpectedly obtained a Poison Cleansing Pill. Zhangsun Hee specially went to find the military doctor who treated General Huang with Doctor Ceng previously. After confirming that the Clear Sentinel Pellet really had the miraculous effect of being able to cure a hundred poisons, he gave it to the Emperor Xiao Hui. No wonder the Emperor Xiao Hui trusted Zhangsun Hee so much.
Back then, the reason why Lei Tia dared to take out the Poison Cleansing Pellet was because according to the legends, the only one in existence for the pellet was confirmed. If the white-clothed man really knew what the pellet was, he would have heard of the legend, and naturally would not force a country bumpkin like Lei Tia to give him even more Pure Violent Pellets.
It was only today that Zhangsun Hee and the Emperor Xiao Hui found out that the current National Duke was the original owner of the Poison Cleansing Pill.
It was no wonder that Emperor Xiao Hui thought back to when Divine Doctor Zeng had willingly used one pellet to save General Huang and gave the other pellet to the other general. Back then, he still had a bit of resentment towards Ceng Shuyi. He was the emperor and his position was supreme, but Ceng Shuyi did not give him the treasure. Instead, he gave it to some 'fated person'. Unexpectedly, after a few rounds, the pill still fell into his hands.
Emperor Xiao Hui changed the topic, "You and Mufeng are still wasting time?"
Zhangsun Hee's face first revealed a smile, but then revealed a helpless expression, "Yesterday, it was Mufeng who picked up the technique using his Agility. But, Prince Ming still refuses to let go ?? "
"You two are people that I care about. I can't care less." Emperor Xiao Hui shook his head with an expression of helplessness. Chen Mufeng and Zhangsun Hee, one was a member of the clan while the other was a national uncle. Both of them were taboo people in the Emperor Xiao Hui, so it was his wish to have the two of them mix together. Zhangsun Hee already had an heir, but Duke Mu did not. As a result, the Prince Ming did not loosen up with the conversation between the two, and made a request, unless Chen Mufeng had a request, he would agree to let Chen Mufeng and Zhangsun Hee be together. But Zhangsun Hee did not agree with it. Therefore, the three of them were still in a stalemate. It seemed that the stalemate would continue for a long time. Emperor Xiao Hui did not care about these details as long as he could make sure that Chen Mufeng and Zhangsun Hee were not a threat to him.
As for Qin Mian and Lei Tia, after leaving the palace, they went straight back to National Duke's Mansion. As expected, the Steward Fu came to report, Lei Xiangzhi came to report his funeral, and after knowing that the whole family had entered the palace, he hurriedly left.
Qin Mian and his family changed into plain clothes, got into the carriage, and headed towards Lei Xiangzhi's house.
Along the way, the husband and husband communicated mentally to each other.
"Tia, what do you think is going on?" Qin Mian asked. In other words, the Madam Du did its own thing. Originally, Lei Tia would let someone release her once ten days were up. However, the Madam Du was used to being arrogant. She had stayed in the prison for ten days already, and with Lei Xiangzhi spending money to scout the jailers, although she did not live well, she ate and drank well. Everyday, after eating their fill, they would scold Lei Tia. They even let out words, and when she left, they would teach Lei Tia and his family a lesson. When Lei Tia heard about this, he extended the time Madam Du spent in jail and forbade Lei Xiangzhi from helping her any longer. Madam Du suffered a lot, and when she realized that the situation was not good, he calmed down and got out of the prison, but was killed not long after. If she hadn't scolded and threatened Lei Tia's family back then, and left the prison as soon as the ten days were up, she might have escaped this calamity.
Lei Tia said: "It should be aimed at me."
Qin Mian nodded, "I have the same feeling. It is very likely that the other party's goal was to sow discord between you and the Fifth Brother, and his ultimate goal was still to deal with you. But what I can't figure out is, so what if I provoke your relationship? Fifth Brother is only a fifth rank official, so it is not enough for me to threaten you. "
"I don't care." Lei Tia's eyes flashed with a cold light, "But if anyone dares to touch you, Ruiqi and Ruilin, I will make them wish they were dead!"
Qin Mian squinted, and said in a heavy voice: "Emperor Xiao Hui might know." He kept having the feeling that the Emperor Xiao Hui was playing a big game.
Arriving at the entrance of Lei Xiangzhi's residence, the door was already hung with white silk, so the spirit hall inside must have been set up, as faint sounds of crying could be heard.
Just as Qin Mian and the other two were about to enter, they were stopped by a servant from Lei Xiangzhi's residence.
Qin Mian and Lei Tia did not persevere any further. Firstly, they were not willing to kneel down and worship the Madam Du. Secondly, ever since Lei Tia sent the Madam Du to prison, almost everyone in the capital knew that the National Duke and his stepmother were at odds.
Qin Mian and Lei Tia led the two children and bowed towards the direction of the house, then gave up.
Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin had never been cared and doted upon by the Madam Du before. They basically didn't feel anything about the death of the Madam Du at all.
The family boarded the carriage and returned to National Duke's Mansion.
Lei Tia changed his clothes and went out to investigate the matter of Madam Du's murder. Qin Mian was concerned about his two children's studies at home and gave them a modern lesson.
That night, the husband and husband were asleep when the servant knocked on the door.
Lei Tia stood up to open the door, and in a moment, he received a sealed letter.
"What happened again?" Qin Mian was speechless. Ever since they had arrived at the capital, there had been no good news for them.
Lei Tia said: "It was sent by someone from the Fifth Brother."
Qin Mian became a little interested and leaned on his arm to read the letter with him.
The letter was indeed written by Lei Xiangzhi, and the contents were extremely rational. Lei Xiangzhi believed that the death of the Madam Du was not caused by Lei Tia, and he would not blame Lei Tia, either. In the letter, Lei Xiangzhi also analyzed the mastermind's motive. Like Qin Mian, he believed that the mastermind's motive was to sow discord between him and Lei Tia. Lei Xiangzhi suggested. Next, the two brothers would pretend to have a falling out and no longer interact with each other. They only hoped that they could find the real culprit and avenge Madam Du.
Lei Xiangzhi's letter made Qin Mian feel very gratified, and he turned around to hug Lei Tia, "Sleep. It's a big matter and we'll talk about it tomorrow. "
