Chapter 431

Zi'an was a little surprised. He heard that the third prince was always sensible, so how could he be punished by the teacher?

After careful questioning, Concubine Mei said that the third prince always had some different opinions from the teacher, and the teacher punished him for detention when he was angry.

Zi'an smiled and said, "It's good to have different opinions, don't worry."

After the sisters-in-law chatted for a while, Concubine Mei suddenly lowered her voice and said, "Zian, you have to be careful with Concubine Yi, she won't let you go."

Zi'an knew that she didn't say this for no reason, she must have noticed something during her relationship with Concubine Yi.

"I know." Zi'an said.

Concubine Mei nodded, "I know that I have done something wrong to you before, I feel very guilty, this time, if the prince hadn't promoted me before the Empress Dowager, I would definitely be beaten to death by Concubine Yi, Even the third prince will be suppressed, so I won’t talk about the high-sounding words, but in the future, if the princess needs my palace, just say hello.”

Zi'an looked at her and smiled, "You don't have to say it so seriously, Concubine Mei. The past is over, and I don't take it to heart."

Concubine Mei's intentional show of favor, Zi'an is not sure, Concubine Mei is also a person with serious concerns, she has no backing, she can only look for someone to rely on, there is nothing wrong with it, just like her before, she just wants to live with dignity, It doesn't have to be something to fight for.

Back to the palace, Su Qing and Xiao Tuo both came, sitting in the main hall with serious expressions.

"What happened?" Zian asked when he saw that the atmosphere was not right.

Su Qing looked up at Zian, "There are rumors outside that the emperor has a ghost face sore."

Zian looked at Murong Jie, and Murong Jie also looked at her with a complicated expression.

Zi'an's heart sank, "Do you think I said it?"

"Before you went to Xiwei Palace, this news had never been leaked, even Su Qing Xiaotuo didn't know about it." Murong Jie said expressionlessly.

Xiao Tuo let out a cry, and said in shock: "So, is it true? Does the emperor really have ghost face sores?"

Su Qing glanced at him lightly, "We talked about it for half an hour just now, you don't believe me?"

Xiao Tuo muttered: "That's not true, it's just that after I got married, I didn't have any contact with you, so I just thought that you were a team to play tricks on me, so I deliberately pretended to be fooled."

Su Qing said angrily: "I won't make fun of you with the emperor's illness. Don't treat everyone as a fool."

Zian ignored the gags between the two, just looked at Murong Jie, "You think I said it, don't you?"

Murong Jie did not speak, his expression was still very stern.

"That's not what the prince meant." Su Qing hurriedly smoothed things over, "Aren't we discussing now?"

But Murong Jie said slowly, "No, that's what this king meant, and it was you who said it."

Zian sneered, "Why would I do this?"

Murong Jie also sneered, "Because you think this disease is nothing serious, you can treat it, and you want to claim the credit and build up your prestige."

"Murong Jie!" Zi'an was very disappointed, "You see me like this?"

"Do you dare to say otherwise? The Concubine Gui has approached you in private, right? What agreement did you reach?" Murong Jie continued to ask coldly.

Zi'an's eyes were slightly sullen, "She came to me, and I told you the first time, if you don't believe me, I can't help it."

Murong Jie lowered his face, "Okay, since that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless, come on, take the princess to the dungeon of the palace to detain her."

"You want to detain me? I still have to go to Prince Liang's Mansion to give injections. Murong Jie, are you crazy?" Zian was very angry. There is still such a crisis of trust between them.

She really wouldn't have thought of it with a thousand heads.

"Take it down!" Murong Jie snapped.

"My lord, don't make trouble, it can't be Zi'an's." Su Qing stopped.

Ni Rong had already stepped in first, and bowed to Zi'an, "Princess, please!"

Zian looked at Murong Jie, shook his head, and said disappointedly: "I hope you are just confused for a while, otherwise, you really let me down."

After Zian finished speaking, he turned and walked out.

Xiao Tuo said in a daze: "It can't be Zian, can it?"

Murong Jie restrained the anger in his eyes, gradually covered with a layer of ice, "Of course it can't be her."

"Then you still lose your temper with her?" Su Qing was puzzled.

Murong Jie looked at him, "Why hasn't the emperor's condition been leaked for so long, but after she visited? And the rumors in the market point directly at her, saying that she leaked it."

"Someone deliberately framed her."

"The reason for framing her?" Murong Jie asked again.

"This..." Su Qing thought for a while, "It is said that it was spread by the princess, the prince will definitely be angry, and the husband and wife will turn against each other."

"Rebellion is one of the goals," Murong Jie said in a deep voice, "Furthermore, ghost face sores are a cursed disease. The emperor of the Zhou Dynasty suffered from ghost face sores, and the people panicked. The ministers would ask for face saints to confirm this. In this way, this king and The empress dowager must be in a panic, and in desperation risked Zi'an to enter the palace to treat the emperor, but this is just a bureau from beginning to end, so the treatment will not go smoothly. Once there is a problem during the treatment, Zi'an will be a capital crime, the emperor His illness will be officially announced to the world, and by that time, even if the emperor has not died, he will be forced to abdicate!"

"However, both the empress dowager and the emperor will definitely pursue it. Now that it is said that the concubine leaked the secret, the empress dowager may not believe Zi'an, let alone the emperor." Su Qing said worriedly.

"Yes, they won't believe it, but let's get through these two days first, and then plan later." Murong Jie's expression has returned to calm.

"Is the prince fussing?" Xiao Tuo asked.

"No!" Murong Jie said concisely.

"..."

"You're still so calm without you? Before all the officials forced their way into the palace, the Empress Dowager will definitely question Zi'an." Su Qing said worriedly.

"So, my king has detained it."

"Don't be so naive..." Su Qing froze for a moment, then looked at him, "What does the lord mean, to tell the empress dowager that you want to delay the time by personally investigating the leak?"

"This is a temporary solution."

Well, there is indeed no better way, but the princess seems very angry.

Xiao Tuo reminded, "Do you want to talk to the princess?"

"No need, she will figure it out." Murong Jie understood her intelligence, "It's just that I'm confused now."

"Who said it? How can outsiders know something that I don't even know?" Xiao Tuo said angrily.

Murong Jie didn't make a sound, but he could actually imagine that there were only two groups of people who opposed him in the court, either the Taifu Prince or his good brother and mother.

However, Xiwei Palace does not allow anyone to approach, and the tone is even tighter. Who pried open the mouths of Xiwei Palace people?

"Su Qing, Xiao Tuo, the two of you investigate the background of everyone serving in Xiwei Palace, or see who has been out of the palace recently." Murong Jie ordered.

"Do you suspect that someone from Xiwei Palace leaked the secret?"

"In addition to the people in Xiwei Palace who know about the emperor's illness, there is also Eunuch Sun in the Empress Dowager's Palace. Do you think the Empress Dowager or Eunuch Sun will say that?"

Su Qing shook her head, "That's impossible, the empress dowager won't say it, and Eunuch Sun is a person left behind by the former empress dowager, so he definitely won't say it."

"So..." Murong Jie dragged his voice, and suddenly became fierce, "Don't hurry up and take action?"

The two of them ran out in a hurry, really, even if you want to be lazy, you haven't had a few good days yet.
