Chapter 748 A Life-Threatening Thing...
Qi Fu nodded and said: "That Qin'er committed suicide out of fear of guilt. Although she did not make a confession before she died, many people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs heard it. She personally admitted that she was the real murderer, but she was already dead. Now. The case has reached this point, but it seems that there is no conclusion, so Mr. Liu is also worried."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Qian Ling raised his eyes and glanced at Qi Fu.
Qi Fu immediately bent his back deeper, his expression solemn.
"Where's Lin Sheng?"
Qi Fu added: "The emperor did not allow Master Liu to intervene in Princess Yuehai's case. Master Lin has no way to prove it. In the end, he can only learn from Master Liu."
Emperor Qian Ling sneered: "I have been an official for many years, and I can't even solve a case. I still need to ask a junior for advice!"
Qi Fu didn't say anything. He never dared to say anything about arranging officials before the court. Even if it was the emperor's choice, he couldn't agree with it.
If you agree, you will be suspected of talking about the current political affairs of the government.
"The three of them just got together and complained? Are your people listening carefully?"
Qi Fu said: "Back to the emperor, the old slave asked someone to pass back everything he said verbatim. I think no one dared to violate it."
"Then do you think they know you sent someone to monitor them?"
Qi Fu paused and remained silent again.
Emperor Qian Ling sneered and cursed: "Old slick man!"
Qi Fu smiled but still said nothing.
Emperor Qian Ling put down his imperial pen and said calmly: "That's all, I will pardon your innocence. Just say what you have to say!"
Qi Fu hurriedly bent down to thank him, and then said: "Master Liu is wise, intelligent, and perceptive. Those who want to come to Lao Nu can't escape Master Liu's eyes. On the contrary, Eunuch Hang and Master Lin are confused and may not know everything."
Emperor Qian Ling said: "Xiao Hangzi has been idle for a long time. He has lost his temperament and his eyesight. As for Lin Sheng...it is me who is too lenient on him."
Qi Fu thought about it and said: "Did the emperor really let Mr. Lin take over the case of the princess alone? The old slave is afraid that Mr. Lin is not capable enough, but he has wronged the princess..."
Emperor Qian Ling said nothing, and then took another memorial, opened it, and picked up the imperial pen.
Qi Fu knew that the emperor didn't want to talk anymore, so he didn't dare to ask again, but he had some guesses in his heart.
It seems that he really thought it right. The emperor did not want Lin Sheng to bear the death of the princess alone. The emperor was just using this method to delay the concubine's return to the palace.
There have been so many things going on in the palace recently, who doesn’t understand who?
After all, the emperor and the concubine are biological mother and son. How could they not know the ambition of the concubine?
I am afraid that from the beginning to the end, what the concubine wanted was not just the illusory position of the queen mother. What the concubine wanted was more.
Otherwise, how could the concubine personally come forward to save the fifteenth prince who was about to be exterminated by the emperor?
The concubine must have believed at that time that the most suitable candidate to overthrow the emperor was the fifteenth prince.
Many years have passed, and the Fifteenth Prince does have the intention to rebel now, but I don't know if the Fifteenth Prince knows how to repay his kindness, and still remembers the grace of protecting the concubine's life back then?
Recently, princesses and princesses have died one after another. Even if Qi Fu thought a little deeper, he knew that there must be something to do with the concubine.
As for why the concubine did this, it is not difficult to figure out.
The emperor discovered that Concubine Chang was pregnant and dealt with her. By the way, he used this incident to pin the label of rebellion on the head of King Quan, who was already ready to make a move.
King Quan was really angered by the emperor, and his intention to rebel was clearly revealed.
At this time, the concubine confuses the capital and pulls out some past events from many years ago. Her purpose is just to arouse the eyes of some people.
Who is Concubine Min's mother's family? Who is the biological mother of the Third Prince? How many people were involved in what happened back then? Now that the Fu family is temporarily living in Qingzhou, can they break away from the relationship? Those old princes are silent now, can they always turn a blind eye?
If you want to usurp the throne, how can you do it without finding a reason? And the reasons that are justifiable, after all, are still the same.
However, the only thing Qi Fu couldn't figure out was why, after so many years, the Dowager Empress hadn't figured it out yet?
If she was dissatisfied with the emperor's accession to the throne back then because the concubine felt that the emperor's throne should belong to another son, what about now? How many years has it been since the young prince died? Why can’t the concubine just look away?
They are all biological, even if they are partial, it will not be like this.
Besides, the other one is dead. Why do you go to help an outsider like King Quan instead of relying on the only one left?
Is his biological son worse than the fifteenth prince back then and now the king of power?
What Qi Fu couldn't figure out, Emperor Qian Ling understood very well.
Just because he was so clear, Emperor Qian Ling knew that some things could not be delayed.
However, Emperor Qian Ling frowned when he thought of the black hand who was sent to assassinate him, but failed to succeed and instead alerted the enemy.
After reviewing another memorial, Emperor Qian Ling was about to pick up the next volume when he suddenly felt a pain in his throat. He covered his neck and coughed hard.
"Your Majesty!" Qi Fu was shocked. He quickly took out a white porcelain bottle from his sleeve pocket, shook two pills out of it, and delivered it to Emperor Qian Ling's mouth.
After swallowing the refreshing pill, Emperor Qian Ling felt that his chest felt more comfortable, so he waved his hand and said, "This medicine is a banned drug after all, so it's better to eat less."
Qi Fu responded, calming down Emperor Qian Ling, and asked, "Is the emperor feeling better? Do you want to summon the imperial doctor to visit?"
Emperor Qian Ling shook his head and felt tired. He slowly closed his eyes and leaned back on the large dragon chair. He was silent for a long time and then asked: "How is the prince's condition?"
Qi Fu gritted his teeth and said with some difficulty: "The imperial doctor said that the prince's illness is probably the same as your illness..."
Qi Fu couldn't continue talking, but Emperor Qian Ling understood.
This disease is a hereditary disease, and his disease was passed on to the prince. However, he was lucky, and the disease only became serious in his later years. The prince was still in his prime, but he was afraid that he would take the first step.
Thinking of this, and then thinking of the concubine and Prince Quan who were eyeing the throne, Emperor Qian Ling even had a look of death on his face, but in the end, he said: "Send my medicine to the prince."
Qi Fu was shocked, and he could only respond: "Yes."
Qi Fu knew what was added to the emperor's medicine.
Five stones scattered.
And this kind of thing is a life-threatening thing. The emperor wants the prince to also use this. If he becomes addicted to it, no matter how many more years he lives, he will only become more and more mentally exhausted. In the end, he can only eat it. The days are spent on medicine, the years are wasted, and in the end, the person becomes less human and less like a ghost.
Qi Fu didn't understand. Since the emperor knew that the prince would not live long, why didn't he choose another prince? Even if the status of the third prince was not good, what about the seventh prince?
The Seventh Prince is so outstanding. The most important thing is that the Seventh Prince is in good health. He obviously has not suffered from his father's illness. He should be the best candidate to inherit the throne.
These Qi Fu only dared to think about it in their minds, but how could they dare to say it out loud.
